The temple guards of the Church of Wisdom Holy Light are all strong men in the Lukai Continent, warriors between the fifth and sixth levels, people usually believe that the seventh level can dominate the world, and the eighth level is often unattainable. Starting from the fifth level, every time you cross a step, you will encounter a bottleneck, and once you break through, your ability will be greatly improved, so upgrading is almost the strongest desire of all cultivators.

The temple guards have always been the backbone and pillar of the church, even though the church has entered its heyday, the total number of guards has not reached five hundred, and the guards serving the cardinal archbishop are generally about eighty people, and the divided church is placed at most one or two such strong people, and in some places there are not even any. After Pope Haino ascended the throne, he gave Brian twelve temple guards, which can be said to be extraordinarily gracious, but Brian not only did not feel grateful, but felt that he had a bunch of hot potatoes, because each of them was much stronger than himself.

Twelve temple guards stayed around, Brian felt like a hairy child, surrounded by twelve strong men, although the hierarchy of the church is strict, and the guards must obey the bishop unconditionally in principle, but in this martial era, the strong look down on the weak, and force can determine the people's hearts, Brian realized at the beginning that he could not control so many guards, and took the initiative to make concessions, returning nine of them to the Temple of Sacred Heart City, leaving only Ferdinand and three, but in fact, he couldn't even settle with three guards。

Ferdinand and the others, only in public, showed a hint of respect and a little symbolic obedience to the bishop, but they always maintained a mentality of no one in their eyes, condescending to look down on the leader who had "picked up the bargain", pushing back on his orders, and disdainful of the bishop's nominal restraints. For the first time, Brian deeply felt that the state of existence was unreasonable, the strong could run rampant, and the weak had no means and rights to resist at all.

Brian was even currying favor with the three of them, giving Ferdinand the servants who belonged to him, as well as the best treatment that the town could achieve, nothing more than hoping that they would not do whatever they wanted in the town and would be able to carry out their orders, but in the end he found that this concession was stupid and ineffective, and the guards could vent when they wanted, sleep when they wanted, and bully whoever they wanted, whether it was the rules of the church or the laws of the empire, it had no effect on these people.

So the bishop kneeling on the ground intends to completely solve these three tumors, and the current solution can only persuade them to leave, fortunately, Ferdinand and others do not want to stay in the deserted town, they are used to the luxurious life of the big city, when Brian put forward the idea, the temple guard said that as long as the reason is right and does not affect their future, they can choose to serve in other temples.

"Serve, damn, you're still a soldier?" Brian despised the Church's armed forces from the bottom of his heart, doubting their true combat effectiveness, and he didn't show it on his face, but said amicably. "I will write a letter to recommend you to the Pope, I believe that in the imperial capital of the Great Temple of the Gungun, you will have a wider path, the Pope has just ascended the throne, and needs more strength to maintain stability, and our remote town is really wronged by a few adults. ”

Ferdinand thought for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Then let the Bishop bother, prepare two carriages, and one diamond per person, and we will leave tomorrow." ”

Brian really wanted to jump up and give a big slap to the well-maintained white face, he suppressed his anger and said, "No problem, although the town is poor, it will try its best to meet the requirements of the guards." ”

Ferdinand stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and pointed to the foundation stone: "Your Excellency, the temple you are about to build is too substandard, I think you should go to the Sacred Heart City and observe the buildings there, lest you be blamed by the big people in the future, and you will not be able to bear the responsibility." It's not always good luck, is it?"

The dinner was postponed for a full hour, and after several pushes from Salina, Brian hurried back from the construction site of the barracks, and sat down in the host's seat with a dusty and unhappy face, much to the surprise of Mayor Marlow and his wife and daughter, who had just arrived. After all, Marlowe is a person who has seen the world, and immediately laughed, saluted the bishop and introduced himself: "Congratulations on your ascension, as the new people of the lord's fiefdom, the villain Marlowe and the villain's relatives feel extremely honored." ”

Brian raised his glass and said lightly: "Welcome, Mayor Marlowe, I asked you to discuss the relevant matters in Maple Leaf Town, why did you bring all the family members, are you going to take a family trip?"

"My lord, the wives and daughters of the villain, I heard about your glorious deeds and wanted to see you. Marlowe smiled flatteringly, "They have brought the most beautiful dresses and are ready to invite you to dance at the post-dinner ball." ”

"Prom? Toby doesn't have a habit of dancing. Brian said.

"Oh, why didn't you even ...... the ball," Marlowe's youngest daughter, Taimi, cried out, and in the middle of her shouting, she saw her father's stop gaze and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Brian began to introduce his subordinates to the guests, and Gaunt and the others attended the reception, and although the temple guards were notified, Ferdinand and they did not come. After the master finished speaking, Marlowe continued to introduce the family, and for the two wives, they were all passing by, and the focus was obviously on the two daughters who had not yet been married.

Marlowe's second daughter, Dominica, was more introverted, and just saluted Brian, so she didn't have any extra words, but the youngest daughter Taimi was the opposite of her, and after being kissed on the back of Brian's hand, she said excitedly: "Honorable lord, you are so heroic, it is amazing that you were able to catch a seventh-level assassin and dig up a killer who harms the church." I've been very interested in swordsmanship lately, can you be my teacher?"

Brian sensed Marlowe's purpose and immediately diverted the topic: "It seems that Miss is keen on dancing, I can recommend you a good partner, Jonathan, a young talent from this town, who can not only be your sword teacher, but also more suitable for dancing with you." ”

"Yes, but didn't you just say that there is no custom of having a dance party in the town?"

"This is undoubtedly a pity for Toby Town, the townspeople need more entertainment, and we will have our first big dance party tomorrow to welcome your family. Brian said, "Then the whole town will be able to appreciate your graceful demeanor." ”

"Graceful! Giggles, you really know how to talk, my lord. Taimi tried to disguise herself, but her body was about to burrow into Brian's arms.

Brian managed to shake off Taimi's entanglement, sat down and raised his glass, and motioned for everyone to start eating. After the meal, Jonathan came to Brian's side with a bitter face and said softly, "My lord, you just arranged for me to dance with Miss Taimi, it is a terrible errand, I have never learned to dance at all." ”

"Then learn from her, this is a military mission!" Brian commanded in a resolute tone.
