After saying goodbye to Annistola and eating a street of food in the Free Port of the East, Talos returned to the magic manor and hurriedly told Sandra everything that happened in the Clover Arena box, focusing on the pocket dimension.

Probably a delusion on the part of Talos, after listening to his description, Sandra's face was not very good-looking.

- The Black Sea Lord rarely shows his emotions, and it can be said that it is quite rare for him to be captured by someone like Talos who is not very delicate.

"Don't meet with the priest named Annistola again. Sandra admonished.

Talos was very confused, but in the face of Sandra's gaze, he still agreed: "No problem." ”

The cheerfulness of the young Naga is mainly due to two considerations: first, this is Sandra's explicit request, and second, for him, Annistola is only a stranger who has only seen each other, and there is still some distance to reach "familiarity", and as for "friend", it is even more distant.

Moreover, subconsciously, Talos thought that Annistora's attitude towards him was a little strange and too enthusiastic, so he invited him to watch the competition in the luxurious box when they met for the second time, and explained the content of the third-order meeting.

These are far beyond the limits of what a favor can explain, not to mention inadvertently owing it.

The more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, so Talos threw the question to Sandra as a matter of course.

As a mother, Sandra was the best in the world, but she was undoubtedly qualified, and knew very well what her son's thirst for knowledge — or, in general, his curiosity — had been evident since he was a little Naga.

Children always have a thousand strange means and methods to achieve their goals, and sometimes even Sandra has to admit that they are indeed very good.

Before her son looked at her son with a sparkling gaze mixed with anticipation and pleading, the uncertain outcome of the future gradually approached the only answer, Sandra sighed imperceptibly, and very decisively omitted the unnecessary links in between, and said, "I assume you know what a saint is. ”

The corners of Talos's mouth twitched, and Sandra's rejection of the church and the pastor today was undisguised.

"Of course, the special clergy in the Church who have power that does not correspond to their status and strength, they often bear the heavy responsibility of carrying the will of the gods, and they are natural vessels of divine descent and have a natural advantage in the competition for the papal throne. ”

It is also the fundamental reason why the general public will mistakenly believe that "Holy Son/Holy Maiden - Pope" is a normal route to promotion.

The Templar Knight named Armand that Talos encountered during his adventure on Black Dragon Island was a vessel carefully cultivated by the Temple of Order and Knights, and it was very likely that he was a candidate for the Holy Son.

"Annistola is the saint of the Pleasure Pie?"

Talos wasn't stupid and quickly understood Sandra's subtext hidden behind normal statements.

The answer is yes, but more complicated, given the current state of the Church of Love split. Sandra explained, "The Pleasure Sect does have many supporters in the main material plane, but it does not change the fact that the orthodox status and heritage cannot be compared with the chastity faction. More importantly, the teachings and ideas of the Pleasureists are too extreme and one-sided. ”

"If a pastor is unable to accurately comprehend the doctrine and the field of the priesthood that expounds the belief in the deity, the path to advancement will inevitably become very bumpy, even stagnant. ”

Of course, Talos knows this, and compared to other professions, the path to the priesthood is not difficult, but it is not easy to say:

The difficulty lies in the fact that pastors need to fundamentally comprehend, understand, and sincerely identify with the idea of believing in the gods in accordance with the teachings, holy scriptures, and the guidance of the church, and abide by the doctrine and canons in their words and deeds.

- Therefore, it is possible to disguise a believer, but it is not feasible to pretend to be a priest, and it is impossible to obtain divine magic without acknowledging from the bottom of your heart that you believe in gods, and if you cannot obtain divine magic, you cannot become a priest, nor can you be an auxiliary priest of the Black Iron Rank.

The simplicity is that once the priest receives the grace, he can instantly rise one or more ranks, and his strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

"But there are still cardinals and even many popes. ”

This means that although the Joyful Priest's understanding of the realm of the goddess of love is too extreme and one-sided, it is a system of its own, at least there is no mistake, otherwise it will not be able to advance to the fifth rank.

In this regard, Sandra unceremoniously commented: "Except for the successive popes, the other cardinals are the weakest group of the fifth order. ”

If the three views of the respective concepts of the priest and the god are all regarded as one circle, the place where the two circles intersect and overlap is the upper limit of the power that the priest can draw, the more overlapping places, the closer to the god in essence, the higher the upper limit, the faster the advancement is also relatively fast.

The overlap between ordinary priests and gods is quite limited, and the pope, priests, and cardinals may reach 20%, and once it exceeds 30%, it is the realm of the Holy Spirit.

Similarly, the strength of the two cardinals of the Church of Love is usually determined by the size of the overlap.

"So-"

"Some of the people in the hedonistic faction who are valued by the top and have great potential will forcibly fill in the missing parts caused by cognitive biases in a special way. ”

"Like a saint?" said Talos tentatively.

"Yes, in addition to learning the teachings of the Pleasure School, every generation of saints will travel around the continent in search of an unforgettable love. Sandra looked at Talos, "Now tell me, Tár, how to define an unforgettable love." ”

"Death!"

Talos blurted out that he had wanted to say yin and yang, life and death, and even Romeo and Juliet, but due to language problems, he ended up choosing a simple word.

Subsequently, the four-armed Naga reacted with hindsight, if the answer was really death, wouldn't the practice of the Joyful Saintess be the famous "Husband-killing Enlightenment"!

Falling in love with him in the way of the chastity school first, and then killing him with his own hands, not only forcibly adding part of the traditional view of love that will not shake the teachings of the party in the already formed cognition by violent means, expanding the intersection area of the two circles, raising the upper limit of the future, and fundamentally avoiding the possibility of falling to the chastity school, killing two birds with one stone.

Young Naga was a spirit, and finally understood why Sandra's face just now was not very good-looking.

"Annistola's chosen one is me!?"

Talos was not good for the whole Naga, and he was a little annoyed at the thought that Annistora's enthusiastic attitude might be hiding murderous intent, but on the other hand, although he didn't want to admit it, he was a little confident and proud.

From a conservative point of view, the style of the Pleasureists is too debauchery, but it should be clear that the Pleasure priests have never been high-class prostitutes, and not everyone has the opportunity to be their guests.

To put it bluntly, the Cheerful priest has a very high vision, what is his strength, whether he has a title or not, whether he looks young and handsome, and whether he has development potential......

Ordinary people don't need to think that Xiao can have anything to do with a pledonistic priest, there is no such possibility from beginning to end, and it is the nightingale wandering on the streets, not the plealist priest, who can spend money for a while.

Of course, if you're a handsome mess, they don't mind occasionally using a humanoid ***** for a different taste, a plaything, and throw it away after use.

In this regard, some of their ideas are surprisingly consistent with several female-dominated races and kingdoms, such as Naga, mermaids, and dark elves.

As a saint carefully cultivated by the Pleasure School and carrying the hope of the future, Annistora's vision is naturally broader and more demanding, which makes Talos very relieved after a short period of unhappiness:

I'm really good, and Annistola lives up to her status as a saint.

It's a fact, Talos thought triumphantly.

In terms of family background, his mother is a legendary mage, his father is a great knight, and he is about to be awarded the title of "Prince of Gorgon", and he has an undersea city as a fief.

In terms of strength, he has been promoted to a high-level bloodline knight before he has officially reached adulthood, and his future is immeasurable.

Not to mention his appearance, even according to human aesthetics, Talos's appearance is very good.

A young and handsome face, extending from the left side of the face to the neck, the snake scale pattern unique to the male Naga brings him a bit of exotic style in the eyes of humans, and the high-intensity training of the bloodline knight makes the thin body of the standard mage without a trace of excess fat, and the body is well-proportioned, with broad shoulders and narrow waist.

As for the nine-foot-long snake tail, it may be a little creepy to some humans, but it is completely in line with the aesthetics of the Naga people, thick and slender but flexible, muscular and powerful, and the combination of three typical red, yellow and black scales of the Tidal Naga is very bright and bright, colliding with colorful and eye-catching patterns.

If you have to find a flaw, it is probably that Talos's tail length and height have not reached the average standard of the Naga family, but fortunately, he is not yet an adult, considering the size of Sandra and Leonhard, Talos is confident that his tail can grow by at least a third more, reaching twelve feet, and fifteen feet is not impossible.

Six-foot height is already very tall among humans, and if Talos can straighten the snake tail from the waist and abdomen down, six feet and five inches can be achieved.

"I sincerely hope that we have agreed on the matter of Annis Dora. ”

To be honest, Talos's brain was a bit confused right now, so he subconsciously replied, "Yes, I promise I won't accept any more invitations from the Pleaistic priests." ”

When he came to his senses, he realized that the conversation was over, and he had just swam out of Sandra's room.

Naga patted his head, a little annoyed, if he remembered correctly, his original purpose should have been to ask Sandra about the pocket dimension, but how did it turn out to be Annistora's "murderous sermon"?
