Luo Jia was a little confused.
Originally I just wanted to persuade An Su to mend his ways, but how come I ended up exceeding the task and recruiting this guy into the army
Looking at Luo Jia who was lost in thought, An Su's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile.
The review of the Glorious Church is very strict. If secular nobles want to join the Church, they must be recommended and endorsed by relevant clergy.
Whose guarantee could be more convincing than that of the prospective saint before us
Finally, the most important reason why Ansu asked Luojia to recommend him was—
No matter what he did in the future, Luojia could not report him.
When imprisoned, the oath that Ansu asked Luojia to swear to the goddess actually contained a textual trap.
"After you get out, you can't report Ansu or hurt Ansu."
The key is that you can't report Ansu's words after you get out.
It does not specifically refer to things that cannot be reported.
The complete oath without the trap should be, "After you leave, you must not report what Anzu is doing at the altar now."
If you omit the time and place at the end, the meaning changes completely.
It didn't refer to anything specific, it didn't specifically refer to the fact that he sacrificed the secret cultists, so Luojia couldn't report Ansu for anything that happened afterwards.
Can't hurt Ansu yet.
That's a good plan.
Anzu's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile.
As for what he just said to Luo Jia, it was all true.
The Cult of the Mother Goddess of Life is scattered and divided into factions, and there is not even an archbishop. Because their goddess loves dark life, the cult members are enemies of each other and fight each other, and they all want to sacrifice their compatriots to their goddess.
According to Ansu's memory, there were nearly ten hostile cult dens in this border area alone.
The organization was divided internally and was wanted and attacked by the Vatican externally.
Only a fool would join this outlaw organization now.
Being such a sunny and cheerful boy like An Su, of course he would decisively choose officers and soldiers, and he was not familiar with the Mother Goddess at all.
The most important thing is to get a job in the Vatican!
Moreover, Ansu joined the Glorious Church for another purpose.
"But..." Luo Jia opened her mouth slightly, as if she was hesitating about something. She moved her throat and stammered, "You are not suitable for the path of the Holy See."
This is a fact known to the entire Morning Star family.
Ansu's body contains very little holy light elements, so if he wants to learn light magic, the effort he will spend will be several times that of others.
What Luo Jia said was very decent, but the less EQ-intensive way of saying it is that we do not accept cursed children.
snort.
She hesitated, her heart wavered.
An Su observed the expression of the girl in front of him and knew that this time it was a sure thing.
He subconsciously clenched the prepared speech notes in his pocket, "Three Steps to Convincing Luojia Zhaoan to Join the Army"
The first step has just been completed, explaining the reason to the person.
Next comes the second step: appeal to their emotions!
"Lorga."
An Su stared at the girl seriously, his blue eyes lowered. The sunlight was filtered by the ivy, removing its fiery hue. The light was filtered with a dark green filter and fell into the boy's pupils, flashing a bright sadness.
"I know that I am an unblessed child. I have been imprisoned in this gray tower since I was born. People say that I am a cursed child and that I killed my mother. But despite this, despite being born in darkness, deep in my heart I still yearn for light."
“Even if the road ahead is difficult, even if I was not born with blessings, even if I am rejected, I still want to try to walk out of this gray tower, and I also want to try to walk into the sunshine.”
An Su still didn't lie. Of course he was looking forward to the welfare benefits of the Glorious Church. Who would want to be a dark rat in the underground tunnel!
On the contrary, Luo Jia had an ugly look on her face. The little saint was naturally easily influenced and she hated others playing the emotional card the most.
The guy in front of me actually became lyrical!
You are using all my tricks!
She was afraid that she would listen to it any further, so she couldn't help but agree. After all, that man was Luo Jia's savior.
It is not excessive to exchange the favor of saving my life for another recommendation.
Ever since I stepped into the mansion, everything I saw and experienced is still vivid in my mind.
The maid who was afraid of Ansu, the avoidant attitude, the magnificent castle and the dilapidated gray tower, and the fourteen-year-old boy who was reading alone under the window frame.
'The master's child is a cursed monster.'
'From the moment he was born, he killed his mother. He came into this world with his mother's blood.'
"Don't lie to me. You are definitely not his friend. No child would want to be friends with him, let alone a nun from the Glorious Church."
Luo Jia bit her thin lips gently.
"And think about it,"
Ansu's last words were the straw that broke the camel's back.
"If even a cursed child can be reformed, if even a cursed child can become a priest of the Holy See, doesn't that just illustrate the greatness and tolerance of the Holy See? Isn't that a beacon of the world?"
In the third step of the plan, the Holy See adds another story of redemption!
Perfect fit.
Tsk. Luo Jia finally nodded, "I can recommend you to the Holy See, but you have to pass the entrance test of the Glorious Holy See yourself."
"But," she changed the subject and stared at Ansu expressionlessly. Luo Jia had already seen the latter's level of a junior magician, "with your current level, it is impossible for you to pass."
According to the process, being recommended only means getting a fair chance to compete, but just this one fair chance to compete is enough to eliminate 90% of the people and even the nobles. God loves everyone equally - but God loves those who are recommended even more.
If the family did not have a strong relationship with the Glorious Church and had not made adequate arrangements, it would have been difficult to get a spot.
After being recommended, one can become a candidate for membership in the church.
But it’s not the end yet. If you want to become a formal priest, you have to take the entrance test.
The entrance exam to the Glorious Church is the most difficult among the seven orthodox churches in Naraku. Not only does it test the magic level, but it also tests the cultural level, the history of the Church, and the understanding of the Holy Light. Thousands of young talents and small town test takers compete for one spot.
"All I lack is an opportunity." An Su said to Luo Jia seriously.
Missing an opportunity to cheat!
"There will be an admission test in a month, don't forget it!"
After seeing Luo Jia off, An Su continued to read his book.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Owner."
"It's Enya, come in." He said without raising his head.
The door was slowly opened, and surprisingly, the person who came in was the maid who had received Luo Jia before.
The pure white skirt is matched with deerskin boots, and the lips are as thin as the light cherry blossoms in early spring.
Enya bent her knees slightly, lifted the edge of her skirt with her slender fingers, and bowed gracefully.
Before, she clearly didn't want to take even one step inside, and didn't want to say a word to Ansu.
"The Sister has left."
Enya said to Ansu calmly, without any trace of disgust or fear on her face.
"According to your previous instructions, I have perfectly played the role of a shady maid who speaks ill of her master behind her back. Do you like this special way of playing? Now it's time to punish me for not knowing what's good for me?"
"I'm not that perverted." An Su looked up at her.
"So you're still going to stay in this abandoned warehouse, do you like to have outdoor sex?" She tilted her head and said calmly, "I don't mind if it's a little dirty."
".I already told you I'm not a pervert."
