In the room at the back of the Executive Hall.
Since it is a room for relaxation, the style and color of the décor look soothing.
However, at this time, this room was occupied by an emperor who was about to abdicate, and was used to deal with some more secret matters.
For example, calculating a teenager.
"Your Majesty, Lu Li and the two princesses of the island country have arrived at the church and have been personally taken inside by the Pope."
A man dressed in black and covered with a face veil appeared silently in the room, half-kneeling and reporting to Pardes.
Pardes, who was flipping through the ancient books, put down the books in his hand, closed his eyes and took a deep breath after making sure he heard correctly.
In this way, that guy will not be able to control the army of Star Asia and win over political figures.
Pardes finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought slowly.
Allowing Lu Li to join the Church as a Templar is indeed his means of preventing Lu Li from expanding his influence, and the Star Asia Empire is a country with a separation of church and state, and as long as he enjoys a position within the Church, he will consciously separate himself from politics and the military.
This is also the reason why this religion can exist in this country for a long time, and religions that like to interfere in politics or even go too deep into politics will only arouse the disgust and even rejection of those in power.
In order to ensure rule, regardless of whether the religion is actually blessed by the gods, those in power will find ways to weaken its influence and then expel it.
It is precisely because the Church of Light does not affect the politics of the country that the Fields royal family has not weakened the Church of Light for thousands of years, and will even assist it in spreading the faith.
However, ordering Lu Li to become a Templar in the Church of Light is also a means of interfering with the Church It depends on how loyal Lu Li is to the country, and the Church of Light will not force a certain person to become a clergyman of the church because of the emperor's order, it depends on his own wishes.
If Lu Li didn't agree, no matter how tough Pardes's order was, it would be useless.
Isn't this a side proof of Lu Li's loyalty?
For Pardes, this is most likely a disguise, including Lu Li's previous statement to Arthur that he hopes to live a life of eating and waiting for death, which may be a pretext.
In his opinion, no one could resist the temptation of power, let alone a child who was only a teenager.
Sometimes his own opinion is so stupid, Lu Li really doesn't want to get involved in politics too much, even if he can pull out the sword in the seat: the sword of peace prayer, it doesn't mean that he wants to become an emperor.
Let the Domineering Sword: One of the elements of the sword of hegemony in the world is to have a certain kind of hegemony, only the domineering person has the most basic qualifications to pull out the royal artifact, whether it can be successfully enslaved is another matter.
And one of the elements of the Sword of Peace Prayer is that there is no desire to fight for hegemony, there must be a desire to pray for peace, and the second is the strength of the king.
Pardes took the rule of the Field royal family too seriously, and Brandt was simply a teenager blinded by ambition, so they were not recognized by the sword.
As Pardes argues, no one can resist the temptation of power and power.
But there are no absolutes in the world, Arthur and Lu Li are just this kind of people, they don't have much ambition for power, they just want the people around them to be happy, and they just need to do their best in their own position.
Stomp stomp The footsteps of a group of people rang out in the clean and tidy corridor, adding a touch of life to this somewhat old corridor.
Leading the way were Pope Feng Yang, who had participated in the defense of the Great Beast Tide of Miaslode a few months earlier, Cardinal Zheng Cheng of the Imperial Diocese, and two Templars.
Walking behind were Rikuri, Chiyo, and Nadeshiko, who had just joined the Church as Templars on the orders of Pardes.
In fact, Chiyo Nadeshiko are all ninjas, not even warriors, and Lu Li's three professions have nothing to do with knights, and the three of them look very strange and conspicuous here.
"I didn't expect you to make great strides in both magic and hand-to-hand combat, and it seems that the task of protecting the Holy Maiden is yours."
Pope Feng Yang was very satisfied with Lu Li's performance and had already confirmed his position in the church.
Lu Li had just demonstrated it in the training ground inside the church, and he had a tie with the deputy head of the Templar Knights, who had reached the sixth rank at the same level, and his magic and superb combat skills were amazing, and he directly won the admiration of other knights.
Chiyo and Nadeshiko are also recognized for their unique stealth and disguise, and can stay behind Lu Li.
"But I still feel a little puzzled, why His Majesty the Emperor wants you to join the church According to your current strength, no one will object to directly inheriting the position of Duke now."
Cardinal Archbishop Zheng Cheng said he couldn't understand.
"The emperor has his own considerations, as a person who serves the country, all I have to do is obey."
Lu Li didn't say the real reason, the fewer people who knew about the royal artifact, the less chaos would occur.
"Everything is the guidance of the goddess."
The Pope smiled, not seeming to care about these things.
"Knowing that Lu Li can protect Lingxue, that's enough."
Lingxue is the holy daughter of the Church of Light, I heard that she caused the holy light to fall from the sky eight years ago, and she is the holy daughter hand-picked by the goddess of light.
At that time, some new sects had just emerged in the Star Asia Empire, and they were afraid that the Church of Light would use this matter to launch a war against them, so they first attacked and tried to get rid of the Holy Maiden directly.
The sects that dared to do so were not good organizations in themselves, but it was a pity that they underestimated the foundation accumulated by the Church of Light since its establishment, and in just a few days, these so-called emerging sects became history, and the Holy Maiden was unscathed.
Thinking of this, a question appeared in Lu Li's mind.
"The gangsters who threatened the security of victory back then must have been eliminated, so why do you need high-level professionals as guards in the church?"
"That's just the news that has been released to stabilize people's hearts, and those emerging sects actually have some remnants alive, but they have all been hidden and have been secretly waiting for an opportunity."

"Can't you find that mage inside the church?"
After hearing this, Feng raised his eyebrows, although it was not a big secret in the eyes of some people, but he didn't expect a hairy boy to know.
Apparently did your homework before coming here.
"The mage needs to track down the names and birthdays of the people they need to track, and those people have been incognito in the sea of people, and although our people have been searching, they have rarely been able to find them."
Zheng Cheng opened his mouth and said, looking at the sadness on his face, there must have been an unacceptable sacrifice that year.
"In recent years, we have found that those people seem to be studying some magic that is out of the way, the power of magic is very subtle, sometimes even strong defense can be ignored, and we are afraid that they will appear silently in the church, so strong defense is necessary."
Feng Yang opened his mouth and admitted the inadequacy of the church very frankly.
"Until the right defenses arrive, please take care of yourself and your servants."
"I'll do my best."
Lu Li never said anything, even when facing various kings and this pope.
However, Feng Yang was very satisfied with this, nodded and continued to lead the way.
"This is Lingxue's room, let's go in and say hello."
When I came to a room in the depths of the church, there was only one door in the entire hallway, and Feng Yang knocked on it, and there was an immediate response in the room.
"Please come in."
The voice was soft and soft, as if someone had paddled the surface of the water, and the touch came to my mind with my ears.
The owner of the voice must be a heart-pounding girl.
For the first time since Lu Li was born, such an idea appeared
