"Can it really be done?" Minian asked excitedly and eagerly with surprise in her eyes.

Having taken care of the family fortune for her father at a young age, she certainly understood what that meant. The swords are all capable of fighting the "Awoken" monsters, and escorting her family's goods will still allow the bandits to succeed?

"This should be obvious, now the number of Great Swords has risen to 139, and if the church bears all their expenses in the future, it will be too heavy, and the number of demons on the continent will only decrease in the future, do you know what I mean?"

"The Church will not be bothered by its own excessive force, you may be worried, I think the Archbishop Church will be happy to provide for them who are good at fighting." Gegu crossed his arms and said, the message revealed in his words was very clear, that is, Archbishop Gamori's persistent desire to establish a state.

"But Mirija and the others are not soldiers of Rapolle, and may belong to the Church, but they will never kill for the sake of the Church......"

Li Fang looked solemn and shook his head slightly.

"If the Church finally decides to form a state, there is a dispute... If there is a war, no matter how many casualties the soldiers have, they will not participate in the battle, right? Gegu suddenly had a headache when he thought of the key point, and stroked his forehead and said, "But the church no longer regards the big sword as a warrior who just hunts demons. ”

He had been in Rapoll all the time, and with the resources of the Cyril family, he naturally had access to a lot of information.

"yes, that's what I'm worried about." Li Fang also showed a trace of sadness, "And the relationship between the Great Swords and the Church is very vague, the Church may have regarded the Great Sword as their army, but Miriya and the others may just feel that they are hired to serve the Church. ”

"So you want to eliminate this contradiction?" Minian looked at Li Fang, "And maybe you want to miss it, escort missions sometimes have to be stained with blood." ”

"I hope it goes away." Li Fang spread his hands and replied, "It's hard to have immortals in war, but I believe they can repel any bandits during the escort mission." ”

Minian nodded, agreeing with this statement, she also knew the cruelty of war from the ancient books treasured at home.

Li Fang's heart was relieved, and he continued: "For Rapolle, Miriya and the others are undoubtedly special outsiders, and I want them to truly immerse themselves in the life of this town, and survive independently after completely breaking away from the organization. At first, I wanted to rely on the church, after all, it was beneficial and harmless for both parties, and then it was a good run-in, but after I came back from this eradication of the organization, I suddenly realized that the church would also rely more and more on the power of the great sword...... When I saw that the church had spared no effort to expand the dwellings for the greatswords even though the walls were not yet built, I felt a little uncomfortable. ”

Annabelle listened to Li Fang's worries, and her heart was also worried about Miriya and them. She thinks that the current situation is already very good, as long as she gathers strength and eliminates the last threat from the south, this continent can have the possibility of peace!

However, the reality of the situation forced her to start worrying about what identity the half-human, half-demon warriors would have to live in the future.

She couldn't help but sigh, "But now the church and Miriya have become very dependent on each other. Without the support of the church, Miriya would not say that they would have no financial resources at all, and would even return to that kind of environment that people hated; And without them, the church will not only lose the ability to deal with demons, but also lose its trust with the believers, and if they continue to deal with demons, it can be expected that many soldiers will die in vain......"

"So I want the church to redefine its relationship with Greatsword and make it clear that they won't be involved in any human fight." Li Fang looked at Gegu and Minian sincerely, and emphasized slowly: "And this first step is to let the church see that in addition to the battle, the great swords still have a suitable place to go. ”

It has been a long-standing tradition that the nobles make more money each year, the more they donate to the church, and the richer the aristocracy has, the more frequent and generous it is to invite priests, friars, and nuns to private missionary meetings.

The topic went round and round, and finally came back to the question of whether the Cyril family would hire a broadsword to escort the goods, but neither Gegu nor Minian were as eager to affirm as they were at the beginning. Ricarudo and Octavia sat quietly and listened to the discussion between the four of them, and what they were thinking in their hearts could not be seen from the expressions on their faces, and the two of them were like complete bystanders.

It didn't take long for Li Fang to hear Gegu's definitive answer.

"I think I can promise that there won't be many warriors to hire at one time, which is not an offense to the church, and there will definitely be other nobles who want to hire a great sword in the future." Gegu tries to convince his wife, Minian.

In addition to considering monetary interests, Gegu, who had transformed into a nobleman, naturally had to consider the reaction of the church.

He had heard rumors privately that the church, after receiving a huge donation from Luciella, had already complained that part of the greatswords' expenses were paid by the nobleman Conrad. This also shows that the Church really wants to take full control of the power of the greatswords.

Gegu knew that it was Archbishop Gamori who took the initiative to invite Conrad, and the church was obviously able to afford the food, clothing, and shelter of the more than thirty great swords.

Minian frowned slightly, and her hesitant and tangled look seemed to be condensed on her smooth skin for a while.

After a long time, she gently took a sip of the gradually cooling tea, and her expression was certain.

"Even if it's to repay Miss Yuma for saving Rapoll, I'll agree." A warm smile appeared on Minian's face, and she joked, "But it seems that you haven't discussed it with them yet, so you can't talk about business like that." ”

Li Fang and Annabelle both laughed, although it was not with Cyril's own consent, Minian's admission could undoubtedly be regarded as a promise from Cyril's family.

"In the afternoon we will go to church with Miriya and them, and I will discuss this with them as well." Li Fang stood up and thanked him, "I will try to make this matter work smoothly." ”

"Then wait for the good news." Minian also stood up gracefully, and the end of her sentence rose up.

"This thing must be done successfully, although then I don't even have the last way out." Gegu smiled bitterly: "It seems that the only way out is to study hard with Minian......"

"Come on, I'm sure nothing will bother you." Li Fang patted him on the shoulder and said with a serious smile.

Cyril's family's lunch was not very extravagant and wasteful, but it was naturally more delicate than the average family, and Annabelle was by Li Fang's side, enjoying the attentive service of the servants around her.

It's good to enjoy it once in a while.
