Cannon Fodder Strategy

Leon seemed to see what she was thinking. Seeing that Arturi had already got on the carriage, he winked at Lily and smiled gently:

"Are Miss Roman worried about something? Your Excellency has invited Miss Roman to be a temporary guest at the Aturi clan's manor. I will notify your guardian knight to pick you up at the manor, just like yesterday." His gentle smile and thoughtfulness Lily nodded and climbed into the carriage. Leon thoughtfully closed the door. Aturi and Lily were the only two people left in the carriage. Fortunately, there was a table between them.

As soon as he got in the car, he had already taken off his coat and hung it in the car. He was only wearing a white shirt. Perhaps because he thought the collar button was too tight, he even unbuttoned two buttons to reveal his beautifully shaped collarbone. . He leaned on the soft couch and played with the silver chain inlaid with purple crystals that he had put on the table yesterday. The chain hung from his fingers, dangled. He stared at Lily sideways, with a few strands of pale golden hair hanging down on his fair face, making him look different from the previous serious and somewhat arrogant look.

"Ma'am, I don't eat people." He smiled and said exactly the same words as yesterday, but Lily remembered that after he said these words, he accidentally said two words to her yesterday, and now he became gentler. He said he didn't eat people, which made Lily even more wary of him.

"It is said that there will be a Light Festival in the Temple of Light this year, and I heard that the Temple has said that whoever finds the Scepter of Light can become the new pope of the temple as long as it is handed over during the Light Festival." Aturi saw Lily's vigilant look. , didn’t take it seriously, he casually raised the amethyst he was playing with. One eye was blocked, and the other eye was closed. The original light blue eyes were through the amethyst, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen clearly. But Lily's actions were completely caught in his eyes.

"The archbishops of the temple seem to have joined many forces for this, and you don't seem to be nervous." Arturi moved the crystal away. The purple crystal looked particularly beautiful in his slender white palms. His movements were unavoidable. Notice his hands. His knuckles are long and slender, and his nails are beautifully manicured. When he holds the crystal, you can feel the power contained in it from his movements.

Having suffered from him yesterday, Lily suddenly became serious when she heard what he asked. She thought about it for a long time before shaking her head:

"Your Excellency should discuss these matters with the archbishops."

There was no need for Arturi to say anything pretentious. He was just half-lying there, but it was impossible to ignore his presence. Lily's back straightened, and Arturi smiled at her answer:

"The Arturi family does not need to get involved in the temple's affairs, but the lady is also one of the candidate saints. If there is no new pope in this year's Light Festival, then who is the saint will be particularly important."

The Light Festival is a grand ceremony held every ten years by the Temple of Light. The Pope of Light died in the battle with the Temple of Darkness many years ago, and the Scepter of Light disappeared at the same time.

The scepter represents the identity of the pope and can be said to be a sacred object in the temple. It is said that the scepter of light is not just a good-looking mascot. It is said that the scepter has been blessed by the goddess of light, and its body has a A gem that can assist in the practice of the Holy Scripture of Light. Those who obtain the scepter will be far more powerful than ordinary people in practicing the Holy Scripture of Light.

It is precisely because of the assistance of this thing that the popes in the past have truly been able to secure their position as the Lord of the Temple of Light.

After all, no matter how highly respected a person is. If there is no matching strength. It's all just talk. It is a pity that this scepter disappeared long before the death of the last pope. After the scepter disappeared, the people of the Temple of Light have never given up on this scepter and have been trying their best to find it. It's a pity that after several years, the whereabouts of the scepter has not been found.

Indeed it was said in the temple. Whoever finds the scepter will most likely become a candidate for the Pope of Light. Several archbishops have also sent people to search for this. However, the original owner used to focus on cultivation and did not care much about it. Lily did not expect that At this moment, Arturi would talk to her about such a serious matter. He frowned for a moment, wondering what he meant by this.

The Romans really hope that she will become a saint. After all, although there is only two words between the candidate saint and the saint, it will be fine if there is no saint among the candidate saints. Once the saint is selected, then the rest The candidate saint will naturally be deprived of her qualifications as a saint and become one of the saint's slaves.

Although Lily doesn't care whether she is a slave or not, for a temple with a clear status and hierarchy, the status of a slave may not be very comfortable. It is very possible that the Roman family will take action after knowing that she is hopeless. He will force her to leave the temple and arrange for her to get married.

The time she entered the mission was a little short, her force value was not high, and the original owner was not good at practicing martial arts. Now let alone a golden knight captain like Brian, she might not be able to become a silver level even if she practiced for two more months. Knight's opponent.

Unless she could escape from the Imperial Capital, find a place to hide, and spend a few years to improve her martial arts. But the Festival of Light was only half a year away, and she had not found a clue about this mission. She finally found this Anna. If she left the Imperial Capital like this , even if you have the strength, but give up the mission, the gain outweighs the loss.

There is definitely no way to escape. The most important thing is that the original owner also had a yearning to become an official saint. Therefore, after Lily estimates the status of this saint, she feels that her odds are not great, but she still wants to compete. of.

If she can really become a saint, the Roman family will definitely not dare to come up with any new tricks. When she becomes a saint, the Roman couple treating her like a pawn in the plot will definitely not happen again. She She won't be at the mercy of Roman and his wife, and at the same time she won't be forced to marry, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Arturi asked about the saint at this moment, and Lily's heart moved: "Actually, I don't pay attention to the matters between adults. Who will be the next pope? The goddess of light will naturally have her will." Lily said Here, I remembered that Arturi knew that the main reason for this year's Festival of Light was to select the Pope. He knew clearly that the temple was in an embarrassing situation, but yesterday he mentioned that he should say hello to the Pope on his behalf.

Although he said that he did not need to use such means to threaten people, Lily still felt unhappy when she thought about it. She didn't know the purpose of Arturi talking to her today. This man's mind was complicated and difficult to understand. In one sentence, Guaiqiguaiba had several meanings, and she didn't want to deal with such a person.

After hearing her words, Aturi closed his eyes and said lazily:

"It's time to pay attention. The emperor invited me to the imperial capital this time just so that I can enjoy this wonderful show."

Lily was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"

"Ma'am." He frowned in embarrassment. When he opened his eyes, he stared at Lily with a lazy and slightly regretful expression: "The meaning is obvious. I will return to Atu in a month." Here, the Light Festival will be held in half a year within a month. As a candidate for the saint in the temple, don't you know about this?"

His words were like a bomb thrown in Lily's ears. In the plot, the original owner really didn't know anything about it. He didn't know about it at all in his memory. And later in the plot, Lily didn't receive it at all, resulting in When she heard the news, her face suddenly turned ugly.

If the Light Festival will really be held within a month, then it proves that some people in the temple are keeping the news tightly, or the original owner was excluded from this event because he has no backers and no forces to rely on. In addition to the incident, there may have been plans in the temple for who is the saint. She wanted to compete for the position of the saint before, but now it seems that the position of the saint has already been decided. Well, all the big shots know this, but these little guys are still fighting for that impossible position.

A sense of loss suddenly emerged in her heart. Lily suppressed the discomfort in her heart, but she vaguely felt that the advance of the Light Festival might be one of the reasons why the original owner's wish was not fulfilled.

"I really don't know about this. I really want to thank you for your advice." This feeling of unknown mission is not good. I can only find everything by myself, and the direction may not be correct. Even if Lily is calm, she can't help but feel a little troubled now. Arturi has told her these things now. Even if she knows, it won't help. Time is too tight. She has no strength and no one around her. Under such circumstances, Lily is like a butterfly falling into a cobweb. Even if she struggles desperately, the cobwebs will only wrap her up tighter and tighter. It is estimated that the original owner has experienced all this, but the original owner's situation should still be the same. It was even worse, because she was definitely not prepared for the Light Festival in advance. Something must have happened in the meantime that led to this mission.

Aturi leaned in the carriage, admiring her calm look. A glimmer of light quickly flashed in his eyes. He suddenly sat up straight and leaned his upper body towards Lily. His approach made Lily support the table. She wanted to stand up, but he quickly reached out and pressed the back of her hand. This time, he really touched the warmth of his skin. He turned Lily's palm over and took out the one he was playing with. The amethyst was handed over to her hand. The slender silver chain on the crystal was still wrapped around his slender fingertips. He did not let go. Instead, he grabbed Lily's hand and asked her to hold the crystal in her palm. Lily When she wanted to struggle, he pulled the chain in his hand, and her fingertips were entangled in the chain at some point.
