Looking at the playful smile on Eliza's immature-looking face, Chen Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that he still underestimated this girl, it turned out that the "familiar" feeling of déjà vu was not Arian, nor Alice, but ...... Céline.

Now he has touched the edge of the Church of Light, an institution that dominates almost all human faiths and is large and extremely complex, with particularly fierce factional struggles within it. Looking back, how could the cardinal's niece, the disciple of the saint, be an innocent girl who is careless?

Not everyone has an older sister who protects her in everything, like a little princess, and not every sister is willing to turn herself into an umbrella to completely shield her sister from the wind and rain (although this is debatable).

Chen Rui suddenly came to his senses, and during the day, Eliza pointed out a series of his "origins", and asked "curiously" about the story of the language of the heart, it turned out that the real intention was to explore his bottom.

It's not hard to kill Eliza or Paul, but this is the human Shijie, a mysterious and unknown Shijie, who was hated by the Emperor of the White Night, especially now that saving Isabella is his first priority, and he must not act rashly until he collects all the crystals of faith and obtains the Sherdarai flowers. Eliza is an important figure in the Church of Light, and the dark control technique of the God Devouring Mask will definitely not work, but for Chen Rui, Eliza is just a small character such as a passerby, and it is Paul who really needs to "intersect".

Paul walked all the way back to his room, feeling really depressed, Eliza was actually right, he pursued Joanna. is more interested in the Philip family behind it, but there is also some long-standing thoughts about Joanna. Finally used Joanna's father to provoke Samuel to fight, and severely frustrated his rival, who knew that Joanna was still infatuated with Samuel, and he was the victor, and this time he went to Garden City, it was actually to elope with Samuel! Eliza was right, no matter what the second duel won or lost. He's a loser.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Paul opened the door, and it turned out to be the new candidate Knight of Light, "Richard".

"Richard, what's the matter at such a late hour?"

"Richard" looked hesitant. He seemed to pluck up the courage to say, "Master Paul, I have an important matter to report, can you let me in and speak?"

Paul nodded and headed inside. Chen Rui looked around at no one and cautiously closed the door. Then he came over and saluted: "Master Paul, this matter ...... It used to make me hesitate, but I thought about it for a long time and decided to report it to you. ”

"You say. ”

Chen Rui gritted his teeth and said, "After separating from the adults at the Warcraft Market this afternoon, I took the two young ladies, Eliza and Joanna, to the commercial district. But...... Miss Eliza ordered me to go the other way, and on that road. Miss Joanna had an appointment with a mysterious man, and the two seemed to have been talking for a long time, and judging from Miss Eliza's warning to me, this man seemed to have an extraordinary relationship with Miss Joanna......"

"Eliza's orders?" Paul's face darkened, "What does that man look like?"

The man was wearing a cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that his eyes were sharp. In terms of body shape...... It is a little shorter than an adult and seems to be a little thin. ”

"Hmph!" a haze passed over Paul's eyes. If "Richard's" whistleblower had been before Eliza spoke to him, Paul would have been furious, but now that he heard the news for the second time, he had calmed down a lot, and judging from the information provided by "Richard", there was no doubt that the man must be Samuel.

"Didn't you say that Miss Eliza had warned you, Richard, and that Weishenme was going to come and tell me the news?"

Chen Rui took a deep breath: "Do you remember what happened during the day, Miss Eliza wanted to recommend me to go to the Bright Knight Branch in the Yangshao Royal Capital to study with Lord Lu Man, the Bright Knight Chief, but I refused. My answer was that I didn't want to be a lifelong cleric, but rather a follower of a Templar and take back what was rightfully my own. ”

Paul's eyes looked directly at Chen Rui, and he said lightly, "I'm not a Templar. ”

"Not now, but soon it will be! I believe in the potential of adults and in my own vision. Chen Rui raised his head and looked at Paul, "For this reason, I did not hesitate to gamble everything and risk offending Miss Eliza or being killed to come here...... Now I boldly ask the adults, am I looking at the wrong person?"

Paul saw the strong confidence in Chen Rui's eyes, this kind of confidence made him feel more comfortable than any flattery, and the depression in his heart was also diluted a lot, and he nodded slowly: "You didn't see the wrong person, Richard, this one, you bet right." You have the vision, you have the courage, and you dare to fight hard in the dueling arena, but it is not easy to become my follower, especially if your origin is unknown......"

"To be honest, I come from a big family in a kingdom, and I have sworn that I am just an ordinary wanderer until I take back what belongs to me. The only thing I can tell adults is that my family not only has shili, but also has considerable financial resources, and when I ran away from the family, I was also prepared just in case......"

Chen Rui said, took out a bag, and offered it with both hands: "Here is a bag of water sapphires, with a total value of about 50,000 black crystal coins, as a gift I dedicate to adults." If I can control the family in the future, then as a follower of the adults, I will be protected and supported by the adults, and I will continue to provide the adults with all the resources within their ability, which is a win-win relationship. ”

Paul took the bag and opened it to see that there were more than a dozen pure blue gems in it, which were definitely worth more than 50,000 black crystal coins, which was indeed a lot of wealth, and this Richard really had an extraordinary background.

Paul unceremoniously put the gem away: "Very well, Richard, this may or may not be your real name, so let's call you that." I respect your oath and will not ask you for your true origins now, and when I become a Templar and help you reclaim everything, I hope our win-win relationship will last forever. ”

This sentence already explains Paul's attitude, "Richard" is capable, courageous, good at seizing opportunities, and has the financial resources, and the kind of mutually beneficial relationship between each taking what he needs is reasonable, and such a follower is a real fool to rush out of the door.

Chen Rui showed great joy, gave a deep salute, and told Paul about the contract he signed with Mana, and asked to sign the master-slave contract with Paul after the contract ended. This confession made Paul finally dispel a trace of suspicion, and after Chen Rui swore allegiance to the God of Light, he encouraged him a few words, but he didn't know that this whistleblower was actually deliberately leaked second-hand news, as for the supreme God of Light who swore an oath, an hour ago, he was also "gnawed" by the entourage as a tonic.

"My lord, Miss Joanna's ......"

"Don't make it public for the time being that you became my follower, Joanna, you keep watching, don't make any extra moves, report anything to me in time. Paul thought for a moment, "Also, be careful of Eliza, she's far more difficult than you seem." ”

"Miss Eliza?" Chen Rui deliberately looked very surprised, and then nodded, "Understood, my lord, I won't disturb my lord's rest, so I will retire." ”

Early the next morning, Joanna proposed to leave Garden City and return to the Longhuang Empire, and her attitude was very resolute, judging from the expressions of Joanna and Paul, the two seemed to have a big quarrel.

Eliza's persuasion failed, and Joanna insisted that Paul not escort her, so she had to let two Knights of Light protect Joanna as she traveled south to Vegas Town, where she traveled by water to the Red Dragon City of the Dragon Empire, a port city where the lord Steven Phillip was Joanna's uncle.

Chen Rui didn't know if Joanna and Samuel agreed to leave early, no matter what, it was a good thing that Joanna could leave Eliza, a scheming "friend".

For a while, Paul became the most embarrassing person, and he was in no mood to follow Chen Rui and Eliza to hang out on the streets, locking himself in his room and sulking.

Eliza was a little sad about the departure of her friend, but she soon became distracted from the fun of shopping, and sometimes asked Chen Rui some strange questions on a whim, Chen Rui already knew the true face of this girl, most of those questions were some side knocks and temptations, and it was obvious that Eliza had some interest (or suspicion) in him as an alternate knight.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Eliza bought a lot of things, most of which were paid by Chen Rui, and there was naturally reimbursement for this back.

The Church of Light has countless believers, and the wealth is naturally endless. There is a saying in Chen Rui's hometown, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Even in a small place like Gudan Town, the fat man Mana can become a rich man, let alone Solanton, who has been operating in Garden City for many years. Besides, this trip is to be inspected by the leaders (in fact, it is tourism), and any expenses are spent in public funds, and there is no need for private upside down.

In the evening, Eliza and Solanton, Mana and others went to the Piaoxiang Manor in the south of the city, and tonight it was the fat city lord Kraut who invited Eliza and the church and others, which also meant that there was a daoqian about the last candidate incident.

Chen Rui was also invited, but Paul was not in a good mood and did not go.

The fat city lord took Lord Vali and the others and personally welcomed Eliza and the others all the way into the manor at the gate.

Piaoxiang Manor is a few famous consumption places in Garden City, covering a large area, one of the partners behind it is actually the fat city lord, the business is quite prosperous, and the private room often needs to be booked, of course, the relationship of the city lord accounts for a considerable weight.

Just as the group reached a hallway, a group of drunken guests and a few attendants came out of the front room. Chen Rui frowned suddenly, not because there were two B-level strength people among these guests, but because of the murderous aura.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, and the nearby lights were extinguished in unison, and for a while, the sound of shouting, exclamation, breaking the air, and whistling rang out in unison.
