When Guo Kang and the others arrived, the Queen Mother was already waiting for them.

At the door, the silent Cao Jian still symbolically stepped forward to greet him, but the Queen Mother was too enthusiastic and ran directly to see her granddaughter. Fortunately, he seems to have gotten used to these things, and there is no embarrassing reaction anymore.

"Come on, come on." The Queen Mother hugged Theodora, and then beckoned Guo Kang and said, "There are guests here today, and we are ready to provide us with funding." Just so you can talk about it. ”

"Who is it?" Tuohuan asked curiously.

"It's the Italian businessman who invested last time." The Queen Mother said: "You Guo Kanganda know her, and you will know it when you see her." ”

The crowd followed the Queen Mother to the chapel and saw two groups of nuns standing at the door.

"Come, Dora." The Queen Mother shouted Theodora's nickname and introduced: "They are the latest outstanding students of the monastery school. ”

"You've also grown up and need more people to help. But grandma has always been on a bad relationship with the nobles in the court, and she can't take her to various social occasions like your mother, introduce celebrities from the upper class, and meet friends in the boudoir. If you think about it, you can only help you in this regard, and let them follow you and serve as your guards in the future. ”

"Where's the matter?" Theodora shook his head again and again, and said with some emotion: "It is far better to talk about friendship with those noble ladies than to get acquainted with a determined warrior. They are more precious. ”

The Queen Mother smiled with relief.

"Girls." She turned to the crowd and shouted, "You are all my most satisfying children, and since you wish to continue your life as a warrior, I will entrust my granddaughter to you." Please keep her safe for me. ”

"Obey the mission!" The leading cultivator shouted solemnly.

"Obey the mission!" The other nuns also took the oath with their breasts.

"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother was a little sad, and then chattered to Theodora: "Of your father's generation, many of the children I have brought have died on the battlefield. Now that we are finally more peaceful here, although they are all enthusiastic, if there is a condition, we still have to protect them. ”

Theodora nodded again and agreed.

The Queen Mother asked the nuns to disband, and then continued to walk inside with a few people.

This is her main residence, so it's a little more guarded. On the outer walls of the monastery, there are "Varyag" quivers patrolling the sweat chamber members; Around the inner courtyard of the congregation, there are some women who are dressed in martial arts; On the other side of the church, at the gate of the church, there were several knights wearing plain robes and carrying long swords.

These people are members of the "Grey Knights" of the Church.

The Purple Horde did not have a military order like the Three Knights. In general, believers go to war directly by joining the legions. However, in order to recruit people, the church will also recruit some volunteers. Due to the prestige of most of the capital for more than 1,000 years, there will indeed be people who come to defect.

Queen Elizabeth's hometown is an important source. In addition, some minor Rus nobles sometimes joined in. Like the hoplites of the regular army, they had a full suit of armor and weapons, but did not use family coats of arms, and there were no regimental markings on their shields and armor. Cloaks are made only of unpainted gray-yellow linen cloth with crosses painted to indicate the identity of religious personnel.

Due to the limited number of places available for the Metropolitan Church's guards, competition for these positions was fierce, and only the most reliable and combat-capable monks were generally elected to defend important facilities.

After another guard, they came to the monastery hall. There are already people waiting here.

At the head was a young woman with black hair. She is of medium height and wears a gorgeous orange-red palace dress. The maxi dress was decorated with intricate patterns, ruffles and lace that stretched to the ankles.

The upper bodice of the dress has a huge V-neckline, revealing a crimson low-necked shirt. The waist belt and tight shoulder sleeves make the upper body curve particularly prominent, showing a full chest and a snow-white slender neck.

This outfit is quite popular in today's Italian region, and it is very popular among ladies and ladies. In the group of nuns, who are all black and white, they seem a little out of place. But its owner, still calm, was obviously not worried that she would not be able to control the overly glamorous outfit or that she would not be able to blend in with the atmosphere - on the contrary, her expression was calm, but there was a confidence in her eyes that almost overflowed. This kind of look, Guo Kang only saw it after his sister won the group fight.

Seeing everyone coming, she immediately restrained her emotions, stood up, and greeted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had no frame at all, and greeted her politely.

Then she turned her head to the side and chuckled. The corners of his ruddy and small mouth were slightly upturned, and his slender eyebrows were also stretched, he glanced at Guo Kang, and greeted with a smile: "Guo Gongzi, how are you doing?" ”

"Oooh. Very good. She left a deep impression on Guo Kang. Although I couldn't always match the name with the person before, for this kind of woman, as long as I have met once, this is indeed not easy to forget.

Her eyes are slightly narrow, and the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned. The dark eyes are like bottomless pools, and the eye waves are flowing, with a bit of charm and charm. As he spoke, he walked over.

"Who are you?" Theodora suddenly appeared, blocking the way.

"She's Joanna Giovanni." Guo Kang introduced.

"I said how familiar I am, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss it." He hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to extend his hand to greet: "You are the great benevolent person who donated money to the monastery before to help us expand!" ”

"If only you remembered me." Joanna smiled as well and held out her hand according to the etiquette process.

Theodora glanced at Guo Kang with a little displeasure, but Guo Kang immediately came to his senses when he saw the big benefactor.

Joanna was still wearing long velvet gloves, Guo Kang couldn't care so much, hugged and began to kiss, and reminded: "Miss, the third phase of the expansion of the monastery still needs funds, and the church can't turn around for a while, you see......"

At this time, Joanna, who had always been full of confidence, didn't maintain her expression, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will sponsor you for more money." ”

"That's good, that's good." Guo Kangxi smiled.

Thanks to his performance, the intimacy that Joanna wanted to create completely changed its flavor. Theodora looked complicated, and in the end, he didn't say anything.

"Hey, don't just look at it." Guo Kang greeted Theodora again: "These are all old friends here, let's get to know each other." ”

"Your Highness the Princess." Joanna was quicker to react, had recovered quickly, and bowed down first, "I'm Joanna de Medici, a businessman. It's an honor to meet you. ”

"It's hard to remember, just call her Joe Joe." Guo Kang interjected.

"......," Joanna was at a loss again.

"You too, don't be so unfamiliar with her." Seeing this, Guo Kang was still trying to persuade her: "Although she is a princess, she is very talkative." From now on, you can call her Dio. ”
