The high priest was stunned for a moment before he said, "I didn't expect you to be able to seize the Sura King Pearl, this kind of treasure is very useful to the temple, I don't know if you are willing to sell it?" ”

Bai Qi was busy: "It turns out that this is the legendary Jewel of the King of Suo, such a treasure will not be able to play its role if it is left in our hands, we are willing to dedicate it to the temple to express our respect for the great Leonidas God of War." ”

The high priest was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Bai Qi to be so generous in offering such a precious treasure, she pondered for a moment, and said: "According to your merits, you have been able to recommend a person to enter the Senate, but the strength of the three of you is too weak to meet the qualifications to enter the Senate, however, if you are willing to offer such a precious treasure, I can recommend one of you to enter the Senate." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, High Priest. With that, he took another step forward and raised the Sura Wang Zhu high with both hands, the meaning of which was obvious.

The high priest nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand, Bai Qi's hand was slightly empty, and the Suluo Wang Zhu flew towards her as if held up by an invisible hand.

The high priest stretched out his hand to take the flying pearl of the king of Sula, and looked at it carefully for a moment, and was even more satisfied, and a smile appeared on her face, which was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and her majestic face showed amazing beauty.

The smile on the high priest's face flickered, and she put the Suluo Wang Zhu in her sleeve and said to Bai Qi, "Who are the three of you willing to nominate as the patriarch?" ”

Adrian said, "We are willing to nominate Citizen Fanny as the Patriarch. As she spoke, she pointed to Bai Qi, who was dressed as a man.

The high priest nodded slightly, and said to Bai Qi, "Give me your citizenship card." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly presented his identity card with both hands.

The high priest took the identity card and looked at it, and put it in her sleeve, she said casually: "Although I can recommend you as a patriarch without exception, whether you can become a patriarch or not depends on the consent of the senatorial council." ”

The High Priest's words made both Adrian and Barian look slightly disappointed, but Bai Qi showed joy and bowed again, "Thank you, Your Excellency, High Priest." ”

The high priest glanced at him, nodded faintly, and waved his hand to make them stand back.

Of course, the high priest knew that since Bai Qi could have the Suluo Wang Pearl in their hands, there must be a lot of ordinary Suluo Pearls, but compared to the Suluo Wang Pearl, ordinary Suluo Pearls were not of much use to her, although they were valuable, they were actually no different from ordinary gold coins.

Priest Blanca withdrew from the temple with Bai Qi and the three of them, and his attitude towards Bai Qi and the three of them changed from cold to slightly respectful, but Bai Qi clearly saw a strong jealousy in his eyes.

The three of them left the Great Temple, Bai Qi turned over his hand and took out a pearl with a diameter of more than three centimeters and handed it to Priest Blanca, saying: "It's really troublesome for Lord Blanca today, this pearl is also one of our seizures this time, on behalf of our gratitude, please accept it." ”

Priest Blanca looked at this pearl, and was immediately a little flattered, although Bai Qi can become a patriarch or not, it is not certain, but with their merits and the sacrifice of the King of Suro, to gain the favor of the high priest, in the future in Leoni City will definitely obtain a high status, and Priest Blanca is only barely advanced to a formal priest, there is no potential to be tapped, although with diligence and integrity, in the temple has obtained a high status, but there is still a great distance from the identity of the patriarch.

The selection criteria for the senators in Leony were much higher than those in the remote city of Yasuo.

If a Chosen Warrior with no background wants to become the patriarch of the powerful Senate of Leoni City, in addition to making great contributions, he must reach the strength of a great warrior or a high-ranking priest.

The so-called Great Samurai or High Priest, if converted to the strength of a space soldier, is E-rank, Bai Qi Among the people they encountered, only Will and General Hall were Great Samurai, and the strength of the High Priest even exceeded that of E-rank.

So, if no miracle had happened, the senator would have been the Priest of Blanca who would have looked up for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Priest Blanca was flattered to take the pearl from Bai Qi's hand, Adrian, who was following him, blinked his eyes in confusion.

When the three of them took their leave of Priest Blanca and left the temple, Adrian couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you let me bribe Priest Blanca at first, but then you bribed him yourself?" ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "You know, I'm a Chinese. ”

Barian nodded puzzled, Adrian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, we know that I still have a quarter of Chinese blood in my veins, but what does this have to do with bribery?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Chinese society is a society of human feelings, and it is almost a tradition to treat and give gifts, so Chinese is more proficient in this aspect, when I started, the reason why I didn't let you give gifts to Priest Blanca was because this person's attitude was cold, and he seemed to be harsh and harsh, didn't you find that his subordinates were afraid of him?" Be careful when giving gifts to such people, because sometimes it can backfire. ”

"And when I gave him a gift later, the timing was completely different, at that time we had already obtained the promise of the high priest to recommend me as the patriarch, and even if it didn't work, it would be equivalent to the high priest owing us a favor, and at this time, we would have an equal status with Blanca, or even higher than him."

"I wonder if you've observed Blanca's attitude towards his subordinates and towards the High Priest?"

"There is a kind of people in this world, who flatter and bully the inferior, who are cold to those who are below them, and who are subservient to those who are above them. And after my observations, this priest of Blanca seems to be such a person. ”

"Dealing with this kind of person, when you are lower than him, it is very difficult, even if you want to please him, you will be reprimanded and embarrassed, but when you are equal to him, or higher than him, you will feel like a spring breeze by his side."

"It turns out I'm right, didn't you see the flattered look on Priest Blanca's face when I finally gave him my gift?"

"But don't trust this kind of person, when you're unlucky, this kind of person is always the first person to rush up and step on your feet."

Bai Qi's words made Barrian's eyes confused, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Adrian shrugged his shoulders, muttered two complaints about the complexity of people, changed the subject, and asked, "Since you are so shrewd, why do you still give the Sula Wang Zhu to the high priest?" With our strength and connections, it is obviously impossible to pass the vote of the senate? ”

Bai Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "That's not necessarily. ”

……

In the next few days, Bai Qi and the three of them became busy.

That night, Bai Qi brought a fishing boat, and brought a boatload of food to the cargo ship that was hiding not far downstream, and told them to sail the boat to the other side of the river to find a place to hide, wait patiently, and leave Barian on the boat.

Over the next few days, Bai Qi and Adrian first contacted the priest Guò Blanca and Bilbo to inquire about the superstructure of Leoni City, and then began to look around.

The pearls of Sara, the black fish fangs of Sara, the Mithril Ore and the Gem Ore captured by the Rogbitus Jackal tribe, were sent out like flowing water.

In the process, Bai Qi asked Adrian to bribe the head of the bodyguards of the temple's patriarchal hall.

In the end, Bai Qi and Adrian went to the temple to meet the consul of Leoni City, taking the teeth of the Black Fish King, Will's great sword and enchanted chain mail, the three largest pearls of the King of Sara except for the Pearls of the King of Saro, and the thirty longest and sharpest black fish teeth of the Sara.

Under the special care of the commander of the guards, Bai Qi and the two walked into the hall of the senators.

It was a wide rectangular hall with a distance of nearly forty meters from the main gate to the bottom, and the main hall was very empty, and the floor was paved with smooth white marble.

In the middle of the hall there is a marble platform of several tens of square meters, on which a large chair is placed.

A man with a clumsy face, a burly figure, exuding endless majesty was sitting lazily in a chair, his right elbow propped up the arm of the chair, his right hand supported his chin, and he looked at Bai Qi and Adrian who were slowly walking towards him with interest.

Bai Qi and the others stopped, and before they could salute the archon, the other party suddenly spoke: "Let me guess what you brought me?" I think there must be a few large sora pearls, right, you've given away a lot of these things these days, or a few sora blackfish teeth? Kindness...... It should be more than that, let me guess, what else do you have to get your hands on, oh...... I remember, I heard you killed Captain Will? I've heard that his chain mail is a good thing, and I think you must have brought it to me, didn't you? ”

The commander of the guards who brought them in didn't seem to have heard the words of the archon, bowed and saluted, then turned around and walked out, from his unhurried steps, it was not difficult for Bai Qi to guess that the commander of the guards had already known about the matter of accepting bribes from them, and maybe it was approved by the archon.

No wonder this person first refused sternly, but the second time he accepted the gift without hesitation.

The pace of the guard commander was not flustered, but Bai Qi and Adrian were already sweating on their foreheads, and Bai Qi could only stubbornly answer: "Your Excellency the Great Consul, you are the wisest king I have ever met, as you expected, these are the gifts I have brought you, I hope these things will be of some use to the city of Leoni against the orc army." ”

With that, Bai Qi placed the exquisitely carved long wooden box in his hand on the ground, opened the lid, a large sword, a chain mail, a fangs nearly two feet long, thirty slightly shorter fangs, and three egg-sized, shining dark blue pearls.

Seeing these things, the archon let out a sarcastic laugh, "Ha, you guys are really generous, according to the information I have received, if you didn't lie when describing your exploits, these things should be your last possession, right?" Why, what is it that makes you give up such a large fortune and have to get Leoni's patriarchy? ”

When he said the last sentence, the archon's tone was already a little cold, this coldness made the hairs on Bai Qi's back count, he knew that he had jumped up and down in the past few days, and he had done too much, which actually aroused the suspicion of the archon, if he didn't deal with it well, so that the archon's suspicion turned into a certainty, then they would encounter the biggest danger of entering the mission space this time, and if they didn't do it, their mission would only end here.
