Chapter 13: Temptation

"Awesome. "Standing on the dock to greet me, but hiding his identity in front of the people, I have led me to think that this welcome is just a continuation of personal friendship, and I will follow you back unguarded." In particular, he also brought the future apostle of the new Oasis Goddess, which reminded me of those previous events, and gave me a wrong signal to further affirm my wrong judgment. ”

"But in reality, the thin veil has been hidden from the common people, but not from us of the same kind, and you are tantamount to publicly informing all the priests that we have entered the Temple of Water. However, after all, the priests are not idle all day and have nothing to do to stare at the docks, and there is no guarantee that they will definitely be able to see the repertoire that you have painstakingly arranged, so in front of the door of the Water Temple, you added another fire, I am afraid that now that our Dark Moon Temple is personally greeted by you, the matter of temporarily entering the Water Temple has spread in the circle of the priests. ”

Orlana didn't say a word, and always kept an unfathomable smile.

"As for your intentions, hehe, if I'm not mistaken, someone, or someone, for reasons you know and I don't know, intends to use the opportunity of this celebration to come together to form a coalition, and all of you here are not going to join the alliance, so a small group similar to another alliance has been formed, and more of the high-ranking priests have chosen to wait and see, that is, as you say, have more opportunities for free choice. ”

"Hehe, you told me the truth, we can come and go freely whether we join you or not, and rightfully so, because you don't necessarily have to pull me into your camp, but just don't let me join another camp. This purpose has been achieved since we were welcomed into the Temple of Water by you, and our choice after that is actually not important. ”

"Your Excellency, this is a wonderful inference, your judgment is very accurate, and I really intended it to be so. Orlana suddenly retracted her smile and said in a straight voice, "But there is one thing I want to emphasize to you, you have helped the Church of Water, fulfilled the trust of our Lord, and my Lord has sent down an oracle, and all the followers of Water must regard you as friends. God does not disdain to lie to mortals, and since the Lord has made a request, then as an apostle, I must strive to fulfill the Lord's request. ”

"Heh, I don't think Mistress Rajel agrees with Orana. "Layer is a god of conspiracy and lies, and God's practice of disdain for lying is clearly ineffective for him.

"Your Excellency. Although Shul seemed to be joking to lighten the mood, Orlana remained serious, "I just want to tell you that I am not your enemy, so you don't need to use this kind of tactic on us to show weakness." ”

"You say you underestimate me, heh, if you're telling the truth, but you dare to swear to Lord Luna that you really don't see any of this?"

Shuer really couldn't laugh this time, the old fox was more difficult to deal with than she imagined, and even the intention to show weakness was seen by her.

"Your Excellency Shull, you said that you followed me back without warning?Heh, then I would like to know why that Mr. Darker and his knights were sent away by you early? It stands to reason that when mercenaries carry out their mission, they must send the mission target to their destination, and only after ensuring their safety can they complete the mission, instead of sending off the float and leaving at will. There may only be an hour or two or even a few minutes between the two, but the consequences may be a world of difference, Baron Duck is a very professional mercenary and will not make such a low-level mistake, but he left early, do you want to get him involved in trouble among the priests, or do you want to leave a mobile force outside in case of accidents?"

"It's hard to say why Mr. Duck left, after all, both are possible, but Ms. Saf's departure is obvious, after all, she has a bad relationship with you, and you don't want her to get involved in trouble, so induce her to hurry back and get back to her life, so as to get her out of trouble, otherwise, with her character, once she knows that you are facing such a complicated situation, she will not be able to get rid of it. ”

"After making these arrangements, are you still going to say that you came back with me unsuspectingly? Maybe because of the asymmetry of information, you can't guess my purpose, but you are defenseless? ”

Shuer now somewhat understands the feelings of those who have been exposed to their intentions before, and it is really not a feeling worth looking forward to. It must be admitted that Orlana was not wrong in what she said, and just as she had speculated about her intentions, she had also inferred her own intentions with great accuracy, as if she had seen through her own thoughts.

"I was actually very sad when I saw the arrangements of His Excellency Shuer, I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so defensive about us, but fortunately, you brought Master Lisa in, which means that you haven't felt that we will have a substantial attack on you, which is the only thing I am happy about. ”

"Hehehe, this joke is funny. ”

"Oh, it's funny. Orlana couldn't help but smile, sad, don't be kidding, in a high position, everyone has long been accustomed to figuring out each other's defenses, how can they be sad about this, but Shuer said this, which can be regarded as a disguised admission of Orana's speculation, he did know that there was a problem, but he still followed Oranna.

The reason is very simple, there is a gain to pay, it is better to dream if you want to get benefits without taking risks, sometimes you have to express your position, as for whether you regret it afterwards, it is a matter of the future, at least make a gesture on the spot, and the relationship between the two sides has the possibility of further development.

"We're the same kind of people, so I shouldn't have been in front of you. "However, I still want you to believe that I am not your enemy, at least not yet, so please let your guard down for a moment and communicate as openly as possible." ”

"Okay. "But I always have a doubt in my heart, if I don't figure it out, I will never be able to let down my guard, no way, it's instinct." ”

"Please. ”

"Lord Orana's purpose is to make sure that I don't stand on the other side, I guess right. ”

"Yes, that's enough, and the rest can be done slowly. ”

"The others must be in the know. ”

"Actually, the purpose is known to all seven of us, but the way is just my personal behavior, and it is not excluded that some people have more or less guessed a little, but I can guarantee that there was no communication beforehand. Archbishop Orlana suddenly said to the other six people, "Guys, do you understand, do you still think that he is not qualified to sit with us?"

No one spoke, not even the angry Aloma, who only snorted coldly, which was regarded as acquiescing to Oranna's question.

"Seven ......" Shure glanced at Angela with pity, she was not counted, it was really pitiful, she was mentally deficient and had no human rights.

Angela blinked, continuing to be confused, what the hell is going on now? What's going on?

"Why the hell are you moving in?" asked Shure, with a puzzled expression.

"Lord Diana's oracle. ”

"Very well, Lord Diana has a good eye and knows not to let you think for yourself. Shul sighed, ignoring the angry little girl, "Then my question is, why?"

"I don't understand, why everyone agrees that I can't be pulled into another alliance?"

"Don't say it's for my sake, yes, I did complete the task for the Temple of Water, but this favor is not enough to make Lord Orlana bother me so much, after all, with Lord Orana's status, not everyone is qualified to be calculated by you, even if they calculate. ”

"What if you see your potential?"

"To say that is an insult to both of our intelligences, Lord Orana. Shuer frowned, "Even if you really think so, it is impossible to say it directly, because this appreciative attitude is from the top down, are you sure you intend to put yourself in a position a few levels above me?"

Of course it can't be, a few levels higher are gods, and it is impossible for the priesthood to compare themselves to gods in any way.

"Also, I've had a lot of potential young people in the past, but I've never done that, because it's clearly the way of dealing with important goals, not the way of treating young people who appreciate them. I'm arrogant and arrogant, and I think I'm smarter than most people, but I'm not so arrogant that I feel important, so important that I can't figure out what Lord Orana, or what your lords are doing this. ”

"It seems that you underestimated your own importance, Lord Shure. Orlana showed a very surprised expression, staring at Shuer in surprise for a long time, as if wondering why he couldn't figure out such a simple question, until he confirmed that he was not pretending to be stupid, but really couldn't figure it out, he sighed deeply, "What a surprise, I didn't expect you to be distressed by this kind of thing." ”

Ha?

This time it was Shuer's turn to be confused, was there anything I should know?

"You and your plans have become the most important bond, Lord Shure. ”

"What bond?" Shure was even more puzzled, "Is it the bond that connects the Darkmoon to you?"

"It's not just Luna-sama, of course. Orlana said with a headache, "It seems that Lord Darkmoon really didn't tell you anything, and you really worked hard. ”

If you give me time, I can hold your hand and complain for three days and three nights, your water temple still can't accept people, do you think it's too late for me to change my faith?

Shur roared loudly in his heart, and said with a face of piety on the surface: "Sharing sorrows for the Lord is the glory of our apostles, and no matter how great the hardships are, it is also a test of the Lord's pious hearts for us." ”

"Praise the Lord, holy. "Everyone is a priest, and of course they are skilled in reciting praises.

"Alas, looking at what you have done before, your plan has never been without the existence of Lord Simon, Lord of the Sun, Lord of the Sun, Lord Diana, Lord of the Silvermoon, Lord Sailor, Lord of the Wind, Lord Sailor, I have always thought it strange, I would like to ask you, Lord Shure, you don't know about the Sky God System. ”

I've heard of it, but ...... What is that?
