The Conflict Between Light and Darkness (19)
"My son, Archduke Arturi is a remarkable man, his ancestors have contributed greatly to the stability of Nore, and associating with him will be of great benefit to you." Andrew had a meaningful smile on his face, and when he saw Lily nodding, the gaze in his eyes softened a lot: "Next, I will tell you some important things, do you know what is the reason why Grand Duke Arturi entered the imperial capital this time?" ”
What is the reason why Arturi entered the imperial capital, Lily naturally knows in his heart, and today in the carriage, Arturi has already said that he was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor to Nolei.
At this moment, Archbishop Andrew came to tell her about this, and Lily began to think about it at once.
Although Andrew is a highly respected and prestigious archbishop of the temple, no matter how good his reputation is, it does not mean that he is an ordinary old man with a pure heart and no scheming or strategy.
In addition to the need for recognition and praise for his kindness and prestige, strength and scheming are also necessary to be able to hold the position of archbishop in the temple. Otherwise, there are more than 10 million light believers in the entire Lolan Continent, in the human world of the Lolan Continent, the existence of the temple is distributed all over the place, and every few years the temple will be supplemented with a large number of candidate priests, and the number of priests is innumerable, Andrew can climb up step by step from a priest with no background background to become an archbishop, and now he occupies a place in the temple, he is not an ordinary person.
Even if there was a mystery in his words at this time, he seemed to be asking Lily if she knew the reason why Arturi had entered the imperial capital. In fact, it has other meanings.
His words sounded like they were extremely kind, just to get closer to Lily with such a sentence. Let her not be so nervous, but listen carefully. Lily realized that he was testing himself. He asked this sentence to wait for his answer, if she said that she didn't know how Arturi entered the imperial capital, and what the reason for entering the imperial capital was, then he could judge that the relationship between himself and Arturi would not be as close as he thought.
His Excellency the Archbishop can take the initiative to come to the door, his purpose is naturally impossible to take a fancy to Lily, in fact, although the original owner was born in the Roman family, because of the original owner, the patriarch of the Roman family was promoted to the earl, but in fact, the Roman family is not only the reputation of this earl. It wasn't of much use, Andrew was an archbishop, an earl he wouldn't look at, he must have thought of working with Arturi through Lily.
If Lily's relationship with Arturi reached a certain level of intimacy, then Lily was worthy of his wooing, and if Lily's relationship with Arturi was not as close as the archbishop had imagined, he would have said a few words casually and tried to use Lily to achieve his intention of meeting Arturi.
And there is a certain difference between the two. If he wants to woo Lily, then the archbishop has to give something to show his sincerity, and if he only uses Lily. Then he doesn't have to pay any sincerity to come.
Lily thought about these causes and consequences very clearly in her heart, and her face showed a look of shyness and ignorance, and Andrew stared at her with a smile as soon as his words fell. She feigned a somewhat uneasy look.
She wasn't prepared to tell Andrew all about what Arturi said, he wanted to test himself. Lily also wanted to see his sincerity, so she was silent for a long time. His cheeks flushed, as if he was too nervous to speak.
"Don't be nervous, my child. The goddess of light is above, and I just wanted to tell you something useful. Andrew saw Lily like this, a pair of wrinkled eyes smiled like two crescent moons, kind and kind, Lily seemed to be soothed by his gentle words, and gradually calmed down, she nodded:
"I heard that Lord Arturi entered the empire because of the summons of His Majesty the Emperor, is that so, Your Excellency the Archbishop?"
As soon as her voice fell, although Andrew's expression did not change, the smile in his eyes was obviously a little deeper, his expression became more gentle, and every wrinkle on his face was full of closeness and peace:
"I didn't expect Grand Duke Arturi to really look at you differently, you have only dated him twice, and he is even willing to tell you such a thing." Andrew was quietly relieved to hear that Lily did know the truth about Arturi's entry into the imperial capital.
This grand duke was not enthusiastic about women in the past, he had already reached the age where he could marry a wife and have children, according to his status, even if it was the royal princess of Nolei, he could marry, but he didn't seem to be interested in all this, but he didn't expect to enter the imperial capital this time, but he made an appointment with this young lady of the Roman family, and also made an appointment twice in a row.
Arturi's personality is not enthusiastic, but he can tell Lily certain things, proving that he really has a different view of this girl, even if the status of the Roman family is too low in the future, Lily may not be able to leave the temple and marry into the Arturi family, but if she becomes Arturi's favorite mistress, then the result will be the same.
Seeing that Lily lowered her head a little shyly because of what she said, Andrew began to seriously look at this candidate saintess who he had never looked at seriously before.
There are more than a dozen candidates for saints in the temple, and each of them is the best body of light. These girls were all as charming as young shoots, and the original owner used to be the most peaceful of the group of holy women.
Although she was born in a noble family, she doesn't know if it's because she entered the Temple of Light too early, her belief in the Goddess of Light is extremely deep, but it's a pity that the Roman family background is too low, and she doesn't seem to care much about the affairs of the temple in the past, but she is dedicated to studying the Holy Book of Light, so she is not conspicuous in the temple, and there is no useful backstage, in fact, if it weren't for Arturi's date with her, this candidate saintess would not be noticeable, And after several archbishops have successively chosen the holy woman she wants to recommend and support, she has no hope of winning the holy womanhood.
But she had the good fortune that her beautiful and pure appearance was able to charm a man as unfeminine as Arturi, and it almost became a useful weapon for her. Also worth Andrew to note.
"You know that Grand Duke Arturi was summoned to the imperial capital by His Majesty the Emperor, then my child. Do you know why His Majesty the Emperor summoned Grand Duke Arturi to Beijing? ”
Andrew also wanted to test some. His eyes with a gentle smile were firmly fixed on Lily at this time:
"Don't be nervous, because your attitude is related to what I want to tell you next, you tell me seriously, did the Grand Duke tell you the reason?"
As if frightened by his nervous demeanor, Lily nodded hesitantly:
He said......" Lily paused as she said this, and although Andrew was still calm, his hands holding the Light Sacred Book suddenly tightened slightly. He didn't fully believe Lily's previous words, he wanted to test more, Lily felt his tense emotions, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, but quickly pursed again: "Lord Arturi said that this time in Beijing, he will return to Arturi's territory in a month, because," Andrew because of Lily's pause in speaking. With a nervous and somewhat complicated look on his face, Lily could see the expression on his face clearly before he continued: "Because Lord Arturi said that His Majesty the Emperor invited him to enter the imperial capital. It's to invite him to the upcoming festival of light! ”
As soon as he said this, the look in Andrew's eyes seemed to relax all of a sudden, as if it was a secret that everyone had been hiding for a long time. The feeling of finally being revealed to the world one day made him a little relaxed. I felt a little complicated again, and my tense body suddenly loosened. He leaned his back back in his chair and let out a long breath.
The eyes, which had been smiling gently, closed as if they were feeling a little tired.
"My child, you are indeed a girl who is loved by the Goddess of Light, and the Grand Duke of Arturi is indeed a different person to you. That's right, what I'm looking for you to say today is related to the Light Festival, because it is going to be advanced, it was supposed to be held half a year later, but at this time, it was held in advance, and Grand Duke Arturi was invited by His Majesty the Emperor to enter the imperial capital and participate in the Light Festival. Originally, Andrew still had some suspicions that Lily was just casually blind when he said that Arturi was summoned to Beijing by the emperor, but at this time, after Lily told this secret that few people knew, it was obvious that he had no doubts in his heart at all: "Do you know that this time the Light Festival, in addition to the selection of the Holy Maiden in advance, there are other reasons, do you know?" ”
"Is it to elect a pope?" Lily asked, and when Andrew heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "The Grand Duke will even tell you such a thing." He looked Lily up and down a few times, and his expression began to become serious:
"Yes, this time the Rite of Light will not only elect the Holy Maiden, but also elect the candidate Pope." The choice of the Holy Maiden is not the highlight of this Light Festival, "The temple has not had a pope since the last pope and the holy woman returned to the embrace of the goddess of light because of the confrontation with the forces of darkness, which is not a matter of joy for the temple. ”
After Andrew finished speaking, he sighed: "The will of the goddess of light, we believers don't understand, but this time the reason why the light festival is advanced is because we got the news, the people of the dark temple are said to have obtained the myth of the dark goddess, representing the seed of the dark goddess, and have entered the Luolan continent, as early as half a year ago, I and several archbishops got the goddess of the goddess from the statue of the goddess of light, and we must stop Su of the dark goddess before she wakes up, otherwise once the people of the dark temple find the holy woman who belongs to them, Then one day, the darkness will fill the entire land, the Dark Goddess will reawaken from the Holy Maiden, the people of the Luolan Continent will become the servants of the Dark Goddess, and the Temple of Light will cease to exist.
