Chapter 187: The Oath Before God (Asking for Votes at the Beginning of the Month)
Li Aili said to the golden knight at the head: "Ben, it's my own person. β
Only then did the Golden Knights gather their swords.
Ben said to Li Elli, "Mr. Conrad has asked us to come here to protect you. β
Ben took a step forward and lowered his voice and said to Li Aili: "In the past few days, the castle has not been peaceful. β
Li Aili nodded to indicate that she understood.
She leaned sideways to let Bognard in.
Sixteen golden knights, with swords in their hands, stood guard in front of Li Ellie's door.
Their eyes were like torches, and anyone with ill intentions passed by had to shudder.
The two knights who guarded the door silently led the door for them.
Li Elli motioned for Bognad to sit casually, walked to the desk, and took out a piece of parchment again.
She got straight to the point, "Bognard, do you know the 'price list' of the Holy Court of Light? β
Bognad tilted his head slightly, "? β
"For example, I want to ask the cardinal archbishop to help me with something.
I know I need to find a church to donate money first, but how much do I need to donate? β
Bognard: "......"
His expression froze for a moment, then he sorted out his thoughts and said quickly:
"If you want to meet the missionaries in the small lecture hall alone, donate 1 gold every month.
The local lord would donate 100 gold a month, and he would receive the individual services provided by the missionaries each month. β
"If it is a bishop of a larger city, it is 15 gold coins for each individual meeting, 35 gold coins for a bottle of holy water, and 50 gold coins for holy light healing once.
The nobility of the big cities received different amounts according to their titles.
Oh yes, the small kingdom doesn't charge the same as the big empire.
For example, you, the Duchess of a small kingdom, 2000 gold coins a month.
But the Duchess of the Great Empire is 20,000 gold coins a month. β
Ellie Lee: "......"
"At the level of the cardinal, it's not the algorithm.
Donate a total of 1 million gold coins to the church, and have the opportunity to participate in the communion held by the church at the end of the year.
10,000,000 gold coins can be blessed by the cardinal alone.
If you want to find a cardinal for an errand......"
Li Aili raised her hand, "Okay, no need to say it." β
It's a price she can't afford.
Ellie Lee: "......"
On that day, it was the High Priest of Darkness who gave her contact information, not the Cardinal.
Well, according to the relationship between the Leng Jade Leader and the Bright Holy Court, it is impossible for the other party to give it to her.
Li Aili asked reluctantly, "Then do you know anyone from the church?" β
Bognad touched his chin and thought, "I know a ...... from the papal court."
Li Li: "!! β
"Stewardship."
The Holy Court of Light has a very large number of scriptures.
There are only three volumes of the Eight Classics handed down by the God of Light: the Creation Scroll, the Praise of the Light Scroll, and the Doomsday Judgment Scroll.
However, each pope wrote his own understanding of the Scroll of God and established it as a canon.
After a long time, it is somewhat inconvenient for everyone to find the scriptures of the popes of the past.
Therefore, the papal court needed such a position, 'administrator of the Scriptures.'
Li Ellie's eyes lit up after hearing this.
If the cardinal wants to be promoted, then he can't study the scriptures of the sages every day?
That doesn't have to deal with the papal curia's book administrators every day?
Li Aili immediately said:
"Come, you get in touch with your old friend.
Ask him to help me bring a message to Cardinal Joshua. β
"Let's just say that I have some information about the Dark Church and would like to tell Cardinal Joshua alone."
Considering the speed with which the cardinal was promoted, it is believed that he could hardly resist the temptation of this 'career promotion'.
Bognard: "............"
Bognad knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help it, and asked curiously, "What's the secret?" β
Li Aili said calmly: "That's a good question, I'm thinking about it." β
She lowered her eyes and circled a few words in a square on a piece of parchment that had already been written.

[Darkness]
Before Bognad left, he saw Lee Ellie staring at the parchment.
β¦β¦
The Holy See replied faster than Li Lie had expected.
At dinner, Bognad brought a reply from the Papal Court.
A Paladin of Light personally delivered the letter.
Of course, after arriving in Constantinople, the other side was furious.
The result was a fight with the humanoid Emerald Dragon.
Then, I was forced to calm down and understand the cause and effect.
I don't know how Bognad explained it.
I don't know how this paladin made up his brain.
Anyway, when Li Aili got Joshua's handwritten letter, the bright paladin with a blue nose and swollen face looked at Li Ailie's gaze like a ......
Look at a repentant lamb who has changed his mind.
This made Li Aili silently withdraw her gaze.
Li Elli took the letter opener handed by Conrad.
The old butler, even if he handed over a letter opener, was vigilantly watching the light paladin.
Unfold the messenger's chic flower-style words:
[Let's talk about this in a relatively neutral place.] γ
Li Aili raised her eyebrows slightly.
There is no beginning or end, and it is clear that His Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop is acting very carefully.
Li Ali took out the note given to him by the High Priest of Darkness, and under Conrad's silent gaze, she wrote the coordinates of the stronghold of the Dark Church on the reply.
Then, the time was written again.
It's set for 10 minutes later.
This time is also to prevent the other party from making small moves.
It can be said that the other party is given a little time to prepare, but it is not enough for the other party to make trouble.
It's pretty precise.
Conrad: "......"
Li Elli stuffed the reply letter into the letter, and Conrad immediately sealed the envelope with fire paint.
The Paladin of Light took the letter from the expressionless butler.
He slammed a blow to his chest with one hand, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he didn't say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything.
Ellie Lee: "......"
Only in the theocratic church will there be paladins to send letters, and they can also move themselves to tears.
After the Paladin of Light left, Conrad stopped talking, "Madame......"
"I know what I'm doing. β
"You've seen the location too."
"If the Holy Court of Light intends to do me wrong."
"I'm always ready to call for help."
But the estimated cost is 'in-situ membership'.
She has a gut feeling that time is pressing......
Look at the time after five minutes.
Li Aili estimated that the other party had finished reading the letter, and then found that it was five minutes away from the agreed time.
Now I should be scolding the street in my heart.
She calmly put on her black cloak, put on her hood, and pulled out the teleportation scroll.
"Bognard, do you want to see the excitement?"
Bognard: "...... You can say it bluntly, you want me to be your free bodyguard. β
Li Aili drank the Holy Light Elixir and filled in the spatial coordinates, "So, are you going or not?" β
Bognard: "Go!" β
The jade dragon has never been absent from the big scene.
Lee Elli tore the scroll.
The secret stronghold of the Dark Church is a dark alley full of stinking sewage on a dark and dark stone road.
At the end of the alley, there is a run-down tavern called "Downs' Restaurant".
As soon as Li Ellie arrived, the air fluctuated, and Bishop Joshua walked out of the spatial door opened by the Paladin of Light.
"Good evening, Duchess Lee." Joshua lifted his eyelids and glanced at the 'Downs Restaurant' at the end of the alley.
"Your understanding of 'relative neutrality' is really refreshing to me."
Li Ellie smiled hypocritically, "Let's get straight to the point, I want a plant in the Papal Court." β
"You put forward the conditions."
Joshua didn't hesitate.
"Okay."
"As long as you break off with Arthur Jade, there will be no intersection again.
Any condition you put forward can be met by the Holy Court of Light. β
Li Ellie's eyes flashed.
False...... Fake divorce?
Joshua smiled slightly, "Of course, you need to swear an oath before the gods. β
