"My lord, I'll leave first. Lisa's heart was pounding, her face was ruddy as if it was about to drip water, and she finished her salute in a panic and left the room as if she were running away. Although the dinner was not very formal, she still changed into a long dress according to the housekeeper's rules. Because he was walking too fast, he almost tripped over the hem of his skirt.

Lei Ming smiled faintly, and his mood was much more relaxed. No wonder there is a popular saying among the aristocracy that women are the best relaxation medicine for men, and it is indeed true. After teasing Lisa, it seems that there are many fewer worries in her heart.

He touched his chin and seriously considered whether he could come back a few more times in the future when he was in a bad mood?

"My lord, Bishop Celia of the Temple of the Earth Goddess has arrived, and you will receive it immediately?" there was a knock on the door, and Fafer's voice came in.

"Let him in!" Lei Ming thought for a moment, rang the doorbell, and said, "Farfer, wait, I'll go and meet him personally!"

Several servants walked in with viscounts' suits, and there was no Lisa inside. A trace of disappointment flashed in Lei Ming's eyes, and then he smiled helplessly, it seems that the action just now made Xiao Nizi shy. He got up, stretched out his hands, and let the servant change his clothes for him.

He looked in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

People rely on clothing, and Buddha relies on gold. Lei Ming's appearance was already handsome and extraordinary, and when he changed into this dress, he was even more heroic and handsome. Moreover, he has been in a high position for a few months, and the momentum of the high-ranking person who has been cultivated is also a little stronger.

Under the infatuated and reluctant gazes of several maids, Lei Ming left the study and walked outside the Viscount's Mansion. From a distance, I saw a girl wearing a white robe, red hair and blue eyes, beautiful appearance, and plump figure standing quietly in front of the door. Fafer stood beside him, like a stake, firmly there. Only occasionally looked at the girl, and a trace of blush appeared on the rough face.

Lei Ming thought thoughtfully, it seems that after the death of Fafer's wife, he has not looked for it again!

A considerable part of the strength of the old fiefdom aristocracy lies in the inheritance of the descendants of knights. Their descendants were trained as knights from an early age and were taught to be loyal to the lord, and they were naturally loyal to the lord for more than ten years, which is a kind of accumulated heritage over time. It's not comparable to the nobles who have been fiefdomed for a short period of time.

"Hello, my lord. Celia lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and made a ladylike salute.

"Welcome, Bishop Celia Gray. Lei Ming nodded, and looked at her quietly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Although I knew that it was a female pastor, I didn't expect the real person to be so young and beautiful. The other party is not a few years older than him, only 17 or 8, definitely no more than twenty. The most striking thing is that he is so young, and there are three blue lines embroidered on his chest under the emblem of the goddess of agriculture, which is the level 15 priest logo.

Lei Ming frowned, can't he be a fanatic again! ”

Celia nodded faintly, but her footsteps were imperceptibly half a step behind. The slit priest's long skirt has a hem that exposes a snow-white seductive thigh when walking.

Fafer's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wiped the non-existent saliva at the corner of his mouth.

The muscles at the corners of Lei Ming's mouth twitched a few times, seeing that Celia didn't notice, she exhaled secretly, glared at him fiercely, and turned her head to concentrate on leading the way.

Fafer was stunned for a moment, his old face turned red, he reluctantly glanced at Celia, and silently lowered his head and hurried away. When they arrived at the door of the study, they pushed the door open, and after the two entered, they closed the door and stood quietly at the door.

In the study, Lei Ming sat on a chair and said with a solemn expression: "Miss Celia, first of all, you are welcome to come to my mansion as a guest. But before getting down to business, Viscount Ben has a question I'd like you to answer. ”

"I'm not a fanatic. Celia interrupted him, a trace of sorrow appeared on her calm face, and she explained angrily and helplessly: "My lord, this question has been asked by many fiefdom nobles. My strength is all earned by my own efforts, not from the gift of the great goddess of agriculture, please believe me. ”

For a long time, Lei Ming did not say anything. The look of hope in Celia's eyes slowly turned to despair, and her ruddy face turned extremely pale. She laughed to herself and muttered to herself, "I knew this would be the case, but what was I expecting? ”

She stood up tremblingly and staggered out of the study, her back extremely lonely.

"Is this why it has been idle so far?" Lei Ming realized, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Celia, the matter of building a shrine in the territory has not been discussed yet, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

Celia's body trembled, she turned around abruptly, and asked in disbelief, "Haven't the fiefdom nobles always hated fanatics?"

"Of course. Lei Ming nodded affirmatively, leaned back in his chair lazily, and said, "Celia, I'm different from other nobles. Don't say you're not a fanatic, even if you do, as long as it doesn't interfere with my interests, I don't mind accepting it at all. I'm afraid you won't believe it, but there is already a fanatic of the Temple of Nature in my territory, and it's in Port Vale. ”

"When other nobles say that, I must think it's a lie. My lord, you, I choose to believe. Celia said firmly.

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Celia, don't be nervous, sit. Lei Ming pointed to his seat, knocked his index finger on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "I won't say more nonsense, I believe that with you and the forces behind you, it is not difficult to become the black-clothed bishop of the Grand Temple of Grant City." I'm willing to provide you with 6 million gold coins for you to build temples all over your territory, and I can even pay you another 1 million gold coins for the forces behind you. The only request is for Custer to get me out of my territory and never come back. ”

"6 million gold coins is enough, I can completely decide this matter. Custer will soon be out of your territory, and I promise in the name of the House of Tarina that he will never trouble you again. Celia said solemnly.

"Tarina?" Lei Ming frowned, always feeling that the surname was familiar. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he sat up straight and said, "Cardinal Pris-Tarina of the Temple of the Earth Goddess, who are you?"

"He's my father. Celia looked startled, but in a blink of an eye, she realized that Lei Ming must have recognized it by her surname. She patted her forehead vigorously, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, she was so excited just now that she forgot about it. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself, glanced at Lei Ming deeply, and said lightly: "Viscount Lei Ming, you are really smart, but I advise you not to think about something that you shouldn't have." Almost no one knows about this because I am an illegitimate child. ”

Lei Ming's smile froze on his face, and he felt a little bitter in his mouth. I thought I had picked up a big bargain, but I didn't expect it to be a hot potato. No wonder she is not a fanatic, and no one among the nobles wants her to be bishop of a territory.

As for what she said, no one knows? Perhaps only Celia thinks so.
