After Chen Rui left the room, Eliza spoke: "This is a good follower, but did you say that earlier than you just said, do you think you will definitely be able to become a Templar?"

Seeing the extra confidence in Paul's smile, Eliza shook her head slightly: "Your strength has reached the holy level, and the teacher is the chief paladin, so it stands to reason that it should be quite promising." But as the old saying goes, things don't change. ”

"What the hell do you mean?" Paul's brow furrowed.

"White Cliff is a place where rules are everywhere," Eliza stood up, "and while absolute strength can be above everything, you are not strong enough to be above certain rules, even your teacher Pasari has rules that cannot be overcome. With your wisdom, I should not be able to say more. ”

Paul's face sank: "Are you threatening me?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just telling you the truth," Eliza looked directly at Paul without fear, "If you want to choose the path of Master Passari, it obviously won't work, you have to think about your position, otherwise you will be eliminated by the rules sooner or later." ”

As she spoke, Eliza smiled again: "What I said last time...... Though you may seem like a conceited person, I know that you are a smart man, and you must have thought carefully in your heart without saying anything—don't doubt my judgment, I don't have the gift of induction to lie to Richard. I know your hesitation very well, there is no third person here, so I will simply make it clear. The Loman family is only a medium-level family, you worship under the door of Master Passari, one is the opportunity and learning, the other is to use the influence of the Holy Mountain to expand the strength of the family, and the same is true for the pursuit of Joanna's greatest purpose. She is the eldest daughter of the family, and she does not have a younger brother, as long as the means are right, the entire Philip family will become a puppet under your control in the future, and with the help of the Holy Mountain, it is not impossible for the Loman family to become the first family of the Longhuang Empire. ”

Paul's brow furrowed. I only heard Eliza's tone change: "However, have you thought about it, even if your ideal is successfully realized, it is still just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor, and your involvement with the holy mountain will cause suspicion." Maybe one day. All these things that you have worked so hard to manage will be wiped out because of a thought of the emperor! You should put away your half-heartedness and make the most correct choice. ”

Paul finally explained: "For me, there is no difference between choosing the Longhuang Empire and choosing the Church. At least there is only one king in the Longhuang Empire, and there are too many big names in the church game, and my kind of pawn is insignificant, so I can't bet all my bets on the church's side. ”

"Don't you understand, in the eyes of the Church, you have the king's secret hand behind your back, but in the eyes of Rex the Great. If you are a member of the church, you will only be unpleasing to both ends. If you're just an inconspicuous pawn, you're a person with great ambitions. This dangerous situation will become more and more evident as you and the Loman family grow stronger - you should have received the news that Rex the Great will personally preside over your second duel with Samuel this time, and I believe that is enough to say something. ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Paul's forehead, and he was always calculating, but Eliza's words were like a slap in the face, and there were some things that he had not thought about before.

"It's not too late to wake up. Eliza saw through Paul's thoughts, "Of course, you can give up the church and bet on choosing the side of the Longhuang Empire, but I will warn you, with the scheming of that Rex the Great. This is very likely to be self-defeating, and even if he chooses to trust you, you who have lost the most important background of the Holy Mountain will be seen by others. Is there still any value in the original?, I make a bold prediction, but I'm afraid that even the Philip family's first reaction will be to break the marriage......

Paul took a deep breath: "Do you mean to say. Now that the selection of the Templars is imminent, I have to make a decision before then?"

"It seems that you have already made up your mind," Eliza Wan'er smiled, "Although there are many branches in the distribution of the faction of the White Cliff, the three main factions are dominant. His Holiness the Pope, who represents the Archangel, is the head of the three lineages, followed by the two Patriarchs, His Majesty Psmere and My Teacher Eudora. There are many talents in the Pope's line, and my uncle, Cardinal Rog, and the chief inquisition, Hughes, are the two masters, and the internal competition is fierce. Another cardinal, Birmingham, is a descendant of the Pusmere crown, to which Solanton and the dead Mana belong, and Shili has expanded rapidly in recent years. A cardinal of Zuihou, Glalin, is a faction of the Holy Maiden, which is much more low-key than the other factions...... Zuihou has to mention your teacher Passari, Master Passari is a true holy knight, abiding by the creed of loyalty to the light and guarding justice, and is known for his fairness and strictness, but it is precisely because he is too obsessed with the creed and does not know how to be flexible, and has offended almost every person in the department, so the situation is not easy. With your intelligence, you should know which system is the most suitable. ”

Paul thought about it for a long time and sighed: "Although the Holy Maiden faction is the most low-key among the three main factions, and shili is also the weakest, it is also one of the indispensable main factions, and the Loman family does not have much background, if you choose the other two shili, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be taken seriously in the case of limited competitiveness, and may never be able to emerge, so I don't have too many choices." ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people. Eliza's expression changed and became solemn, "Then I ask you, have you really made up your mind?"

Paul nodded slowly with a resolute expression.

"Great, I believe that Her Majesty will be very happy to see such a talented person with such potential joining. Let me remind you a little, don't look at the low-key posture of the saints, the Raphael behind us is not a wise angel who is willing to be lonely, right?"

Paul wasn't stupid enough to ask stupid questions like Eliza's niece Weishenme joining the saint's line. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the reason why Eliza attached so much importance to him was not unrelated to the identity of the "chief disciple of the Holy Knight", and it was likely that the Holy Maiden had the intention of winning over Passari and the Radiant Knight, at least to show a relevant signal to the outside world, and it could also be related to a long-term plan of the wise angel under the seat of the God of Light behind the Holy Maiden.

Eliza's previous analysis hit the nail on the head, allowing him to see something further afield. In any case, the Holy Maiden faction was indeed the most suitable faction for him and the Loman family.

Paul finally made up his mind and saluted Eliza: "Then, I will ask the young lady to take care of her in the future." ”

Eliza is a disciple of the Holy Maiden, and since he is determined to serve the Holy Maiden, he must have a good relationship with Eliza.

"Why are you so polite, we're going to be quite close in the future, we can't be so angry," Eliza smiled, "but before that, you'll have to prove your resolve with your actions." ”

"Action?"

"Now that you have chosen the right path, is it necessary to change the original development of your development in the Longhuang Empire......? Marriage to the Philip family?"

Paul's brow furrowed again: "You mean ......"

Eliza smiled and leaned into Paul's ear and whispered, "If I want you to do it...... Kill Joanna and really prove your resolve?"

Paul was shocked, he didn't expect Eliza to put forward such a condition, let him kill his fiancée with his own hands, and at the same time her most haode friend, looking at the still innocent and lovely smile on this girl's face, Paul's heart couldn't help but give birth to a chill.

"If I have to prove myself with this, then I ......" Paul's breathing was a little short, his eyes were intertwined with a complicated look, and he seemed to be struggling inwardly, and finally gritted his teeth: "I...... I'll take care of Joanna with my own hands!"

"Haha!" Eliza said coquettishly, her laughter full of different meanings, and after a moment, the laughter gradually faded down, "Actually, this is just a joke. However, I am very satisfied with your performance, you have passed my test, and when I return to the Yangshao Royal Capital, I will return to the White Cliff as soon as possible and report this matter to His Majesty the Holy Maiden, with the support of the Holy Maiden, plus your own strength, becoming a Templar is already nine out of ten. At that time, you can use your status as a Templar to gradually expand your family's strength in the Longhuang Empire, and even that Rex the Great will be afraid of three points. ”

Paul secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he pursued Joanna, utilitarian nature certainly accounted for a large proportion, but he has always been quite obsessed with Joanna's beauty, and it was actually very difficult to make this decision just now, but for the sake of future prospects and ambitions, not to mention that Joanna likes someone else, even if he is really in love with him, he can't care so much.

"After you return to the Yangshao Royal Capital this time, don't make too much movement on the family side for the time being, after dealing with the necessary affairs, set off for the White Cliff as soon as possible, remember to bring your loyal follower, I am a little interested in his talent for that kind of heart language...... As for duels, don't worry, because if nothing else, your opponent shouldn't show up. ”

Paul was stunned: "Weishenme?"

"Because, Joanna has already 'eloped' with him, which will be a heavy setback to the Camprot family and the Philip family, and it will also be of considerable benefit to your future development. ”

Seeing the suspicious look on Paul's face, Eliza sat down again and stretched on the sofa, "It's okay to tell you, Joanna's idea to leave early is actually my idea for her, but it is not the Red Dragon City of the Dragon Empire that I asked the Knight of Light to escort her back, but the Island of Stormwind." The port here isn't that far from Stormwind Island, so you should be almost there......"

"What?Storm Island!" Paul was taken aback, Storm Island is located in the dangerous sea area south of Garden City, it is one of the most dangerous places on the ground, and there are countless dangers inside, and the existence of the Titan Giant alone can make the true saint-level powerhouses shy away.

was also surprised, as well as Chen Rui, who was stealthily eavesdropping, he was also present when Joanna left, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, this seemingly innocent girl's scheming and viciousness were far from expected, making Chen Rui murderous.
