Andrew got the satisfactory news from Lily's mouth at this moment, and he didn't sell it any further, he happily said a lot of news that Lily didn't know before:

"At the moment of the temple's survival, there must be a leader who will lead us to destroy this holy woman and drive these believers of the Dark Goddess out of this continent."

With Andrew's words on her face, she seemed to be a little surprised and a little scared, but her heart began to recall in detail the news she got from Andrew's mouth this time, and combine it with the plot.

"You know the situation in the temple now. The Scepter of Light had disappeared many years ago with the return of His Majesty the Pope, and if the Scepter was still there, it would have been natural to choose the right person to be our leader according to the oracle, but because the Scepter had disappeared, although we had tried our best to find it, we had never received any news of the Scepter. Now the candidate for Pope has been re-elected, and there are nine archbishops in the temple, including me. ”

Even if it is just a candidate for the pope, everyone knows in their hearts that as long as the word candidate does not appear as a real pope, sooner or later it will turn positive.

Perhaps to the point, Andrew's eyes slowly began to appear excited, and his originally pale face also flushed with excitement:

"I will dedicate my life to the goddess of light, and I desire to do my best for the temple." After he finished speaking, he put the holy canon in his hand on the table, and his body, which was originally leaning on the back of the chair, suddenly straightened up: "Miss Roman, the competition for the candidacy of the Pope is not much smaller than the competition for the Holy Maiden. Would you like to work with me so that we can work together for the Pope and the Holy Maiden? I swear that if I have your best help, I will be grateful to you, love you, take care of you, and the goddess of light will not hurt you in this life. My glory will be shared with you. I will do everything in my power to protect and help you, Miss Roman, would you like it? ”

Andrew's expression changed from excitement at the beginning to serious and serious. His sharp eyes fell on Lily:

"As far as I know. The Roman family also has great hopes for you. The Roman family became an earl because you possessed the body of light, and if you lose the election, the glory you once brought to the family will be gone. Your father's position as an earl may not be kept, the Roman family may return to their homeland, you no longer have the name of a candidate saint, you can only become an ordinary nun in the temple, and in order to keep the power of the family, maybe your father will give you as a commodity to the powerful in order to keep his status, my child, would you like to imagine such a sad scene? ”

He had a look of pity and some sympathy on his face: "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will do my best to recommend you to become a saint, as long as I can become the pope, my child, only you can sit on the throne of saint!" ”

Andrew's words were seductive and threatening, and what he said was very reasonable and realistic, as if he had hit the most fearful and fearful part of Lily's heart at once, making her face instantly turn a little pale.

She seemed to be a little frightened, and her mouth was just muttering in a panic:

"What then? What to do? Mr. Archbishop? What should I do? I, I don't have what it takes to work with you......"

Seeing that he had succeeded in scaring the girl, Andrew couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "You have the ability, Grand Duke Arturi is your greatest ability!" After he finished speaking, his tone became a little brisk: "The Grand Duke's words obviously mean to help you, but although the Grand Duke is strong, if he really likes you, even if he has the ability to push you to the position of a saint, but my child, he has never belonged to Noray, and does not belong to the temple, as he said, he will leave here one day, so after he leaves, you need someone to take care of you in the temple, if you can do me a small favor for this, so that I can meet the Grand Duke, Talk to him about things that are beneficial to each other, I will take care of you for him, he is just helping me with a gesture, everyone is a mutually beneficial thing, so why not? ”

"But, however, the Grand Duke of Arturi has not said anything about liking me......" Lily was calm in her heart, but her mouth pretended to be a little flustered, and Andrew interrupted her without waiting for her to finish:

"You believe me, Grand Duke Arturi is different to you, you are so fresh and charming, even an old man like me, who is willing to dedicate his life to the goddess of light, can't help but be happy to get close to you, the Grand Duke likes you, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you twice in a row." After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "There may be one thing you don't know, even if the Grand Duke is a teenager, he has never been close to the opposite sex, and some people in the Norley Empire have suspected that the Grand Duke is too good, and he was restrained by the Lord God of Creation, saying that he may have been taken back by the Lord God when he was born, he does not like to get along with girls, and does not get close to any opposite sex, the Grand Duke is now in his prime, but he is still single, Miss Roman, You're the first woman he's ever dated, and he's asked you out twice, twice! ”

He emphatically repeated the word 'twice' to show his excitement:

"And the Grand Duke is not a talkative man, but what does it mean that he is willing to share secrets with you? He likes you, he loves you, you trust me, and if you promise to let the Grand Duke meet me, the cooperation between us will be very pleasant. ”

When Lily heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Today she lost such an important person as Anna, and lost an opportunity to make the eldest prince grateful to her, and originally thought that if she wanted to compete for the position of saint, she would need to find a new relationship.

Unexpectedly, the endless road of heaven and earth had just lost a great prince, but at this time, Archbishop Andrew took the initiative to find the door.

That's good, she also happens to need to get close to Arturi, she wants to contact Anna again, and wants to see the plot of the mission in contact with her, make a decision, Andrew wants to use her to cooperate with Arturi, in fact, she is also worried about how to get close to Arturi, she also needs the help of the archbishop.

As for Andrew's words that Arturi liked her and loved her, Lily didn't take it to heart at all. In her mind, Arturi's cold and ancient blue eyes appeared, and there seemed to be no emotion in those eyes, no matter how well disguised such a man was on the surface, in fact, he was a piece of ice that could never melt, he could not easily become passionate for any woman, he would not easily fall in love with anyone.

But it was not what she said to like herself, even if Andrew found out that he had guessed wrong in the end, but he was so sure that it was he who said that Arturi liked him, and he was not deceiving him, and the prestige of the archbishop made it impossible for him to do anything that broke his promise, even if the cooperation between him and Arturi was not successful, his pride and dignity could not make him angry with himself, and thus unfavorable to himself.

Such a beneficial and harmless cooperation, she agreed!

Archbishop Andrew left with a gentle smile, and when he left, he left the holy book of light he brought, which has a golden edge that symbolizes the special identity of Archbishop Andrew, the reason why Andrew left this holy canon, in addition to wanting to lend her the prestige of his archbishop, so that her status in the temple is a few points higher, let people know that she is not the candidate saint who did not have a backstage in the temple before, and the most important thing is that he also wants to use this thing to remind others that he has cooperated with Lily, Let the other archbishops retreat.

At the same time, this holy book can be regarded as one of the evidences that witnessed the cooperation between the two, and he left this to show his sincerity.

As he was leaving, the archbishop told Lily that Arturi was about to attend a grand gala in three days in the castle outside the palace for His Majesty's arrival, and that it would last a whole day.

Originally, there were not many people invited to this party, several archbishops of the temple were also invited, Count Roman's family might also go, and Andrew was also going to take Lily with him, and then the next step of the cooperation between the two would be carried out, he would want to ask Lily to introduce Arturi for him, and Lily agreed.

Lily touched the light tome in her hand, the tome didn't know what kind of animal fur it was made of, the feel was much better than the original owner of the tome itself, this tome was quite heavy, so she felt a little hard to pick it up, the golden horns inlaid at the four corners of the tome flashed with dazzling luster, and a faint light power emanated from the book, slowly enhancing Lily's spiritual power. Lily couldn't help but think of the book with strange words that she saw in Arturi's carriage today, the skin of that book was also made of strange leather, but I don't know what kind of skin it was, it was a little rough to the touch, she still had some instinctive memories of that book, but now holding Archbishop Andrew's Bright Holy Book, Lily reaffirmed Arturi and said that it was. The Great Prophecy Spell was a joke, for even the tome itself had the power of light, and if there was something wrong with the book, it was impossible for her to touch it with her own hands, but she didn't feel it at all.

Bryan didn't come back to the temple that day, no one knew where he went, and he didn't even come to the prayers in the temple at night, Brian joined the temple for many years, and has been with the original owner, and the belief in the goddess of light in the minds of people like him who grew up in the temple of light is very strong, he has never missed a prayer before, but he is absent at this time, this should be the beginning of his betrayal of the temple for Anna in the plot. (To be continued......)
