Lord of War

Putting "Stephen" aside for the time being, Sean turned and walked into the small meeting room.レm♠Thinking♥Road♣Guestレ

In the meeting room, there were already three people sitting.

Cecilia, Cephane, and Heather.

These three people obviously didn't expect Sean to appear here suddenly, so they were obviously surprised by Sean's appearance.

"My lord."

"Sean?"

Heatley didn't have much contact with Sean, that is, they met when she helped Sean deal with his injury. Later, it was all about the Church of Life preaching doctrines and recruiting believers in Sean's territory. Terri and Neil are in charge of negotiations. It's just obvious that the inexperienced Heatley is not good at these jobs at all, so after only two negotiations, Heatley has been completely defeated. If someone who is good at negotiating comes over, I am afraid that Heately will sell herself.

A would-be saint selling herself to Sean seemed like an ironic joke by any measure.

However, for Cefanio, this is not a big deal. Anyway, not only her, but even the goddess of ice, snow and winter, Ace Winter, who is her ancestor in name and is now her immediate boss, has sold herself and the entire church to Sean, so Xue Fanny On the contrary, O is very used to this situation. When she was communicating with Heather in private now, she even urged Heather to sell herself to Sean many times. For this reason, of course, she also beautified Sean to be like a god-like existence.

For an inexperienced and devout little white flower like Heathery, this is indeed quite lethal.

Therefore, after seeing Sean's appearance suddenly, Heatley obviously didn't know what to do, and just looked at Sean in a daze.

Xue Fanio, who was on the side, glanced sideways at Heately, but she had already started to laugh inwardly: "Old woman, it's not bad for me to do this."

"It's really well done." Ess Winter and Cefanio have a direct blood relationship, so Ess Winter can naturally feel what Cefanio sees and hears. Although she was threatened by Enkos and had to let the believers of the Goddess of Life spread the teachings and recruit believers in Sean's territory, it did not mean that she had to cooperate with this future saint who belonged to the Church of Life, at least to send this saint Esther would be very happy to see her being dragged into the water or something.

Unlike Heatri and Cefanio, Cecilia was really happy when she saw Sean appear.

Sean greeted Cefanio first,

After sitting down next to Cecilia, he turned his head and greeted Heaterly. It's just that the look on the latter's face really made Sean feel a bit at a loss. In Sean's memory, Heately shouldn't be such a person. After all, the last time Heately was healing him, the decisive The heroic appearance really made Sean somewhat unforgettable.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start." As if sensing a subtle change in the atmosphere in the meeting room, William just glanced at Sean and Heatley, and immediately made a decision. "Don't waste each other's time, after all everyone's time is very precious."

Hearing William's words, everyone in the meeting room fell silent immediately, even Cefanio, who had the idea of ​​playing a prank, had to quiet down immediately at this moment. Because the current relationship between Ice and Snow and Winter Church and Sean can be said to be a grasshopper tied to a rope, and whether it is the previous war with Chirav or Dai, or the actions in the wild land Well, both Cefanio and Sean have been through life and death, so there are naturally some differences in their emotions, so she has received a reminder from William before today, knowing what the main content of today's meeting is.

In fact, the only one who really didn't know anything about it was Heately.

According to normal circumstances, today's meeting should not be Hitley, but a diplomat sent by the Church of Life to stay here temporarily in Void City. However, William and Neil did not inform the diplomat of today's meeting, but asked him to come and participate in the meeting under the pretext that "Heatheri is the main person in charge of the future garrison territory"—whether it is a nobleman or a god. Or anyone else, all equally cunning.

It is much easier to deal with this pure little white flower, Heatley, than to deal with other priests, priests, and diplomats of the Church of Life.

"I want to ask Miss Heatley, if there is a war in the future, what kind of help can your Church of Life provide?" William said straightforwardly, without any embarrassment at all.

Faced with such a direct opening statement from William, Heatley was stunned for a moment, but she quickly replied: "According to the agreement we negotiated with Consul Neil..."

"No, no, no." William shook his head, and interrupted Heatley's speech forcefully, "That's the agreement between your Life Church and Neil Consul on government affairs, and what we're about to discuss now is about the future territory Military issues...Government affairs and military affairs, these are two concepts, Miss Heatley, can you understand the meaning of this?"

Hitley was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to understand the meaning of William's words.

As for the results of the previous negotiations between the diplomatic chief from the Church of Life and Neil, Heatley certainly read it. After all, it was she, not The diplomatic chief. According to that agreement, the Church of Life has to pay Sean a symbolic tax every year. In addition, the Church of Life must also obligate to treat the soldiers under Sean's command after every war. Of course, this means For minor injuries, the Church of Life has the right to refuse treatment that requires the help of God's grace like Sean did last time.

But if these are all government obligations, then what do military obligations mean?

"At this point, our requirements are actually not high." Seeing Heateley showing a somewhat confused look, William didn't have any psychological shadow of destroying Xiao Baihua, so he said simply, "I only hope that you It is enough to be exactly the same as the promise given by the Church of Ice, Snow and Winter, and there will be absolutely no stricter requirements than the Church of Ice, Snow and Winter. After all, if we cannot treat everyone equally, it will really damage our reputation."

When William said this with a smile on his face, Sean, who was still drinking tea, spit out in fright, and Sean, who choked on the tea, let out a series of violent coughs. This move immediately scared Cecilia and Heatley next to him, but Cecilia, who had a closer relationship with Sean, immediately started to pat Sean on the back. gas.

Sean, who finally recovered his breath, looked up at William, but saw William's disgusted expression, and even Xue Fanio next to him said, "What's the fuss? You're still a man." , I don’t have any courage at all.”

Sean swallowed with some difficulty. He never thought that William would be so bold as to set his mind on the powerful Goddess of Life.

Others may not be clear, but William is very clear that the goddess of ice, snow and winter sold the entire church and herself to Sean, which means that whether it is military affairs or government affairs, Esswinter must be Unconditional support and shelter for Sean. And this is fully reflected in a group of priests trained by the Church of Ice Snow and Winter for Sean. According to reports from Snow Fanio a few days ago, this group of priests is likely to be able to participate in the upcoming battle with Dabion in time. Kingdom wars.

Although William only asked Heaterly to agree with the Church of Ice, Snow and Winter in terms of military affairs, but not in terms of government affairs, once Heaterly, the future saint representing the Church of Life, nodded in agreement, it meant that once In formal military operations, the Church of Life must also go out with Sean's army. Even if this cannot be achieved, at least it must be achieved not to provide medical treatment and assistance to Xiao En's enemy troops during the war.

In other words, once Heately nodded, all enemies who fought with Sean would not be able to get the assistance of the Church of Life, and could only get medical treatment after the battle.

Thinking of this, Sean glanced at Cecilia and Cefanio. The expressions of these two people looked very calm, and it was obvious that they had gotten along with William long ago. Only Sean, who didn't know anything, choked on the tea when he heard William's bold speech.

This is a conspiracy against the goddess of life.

It seemed that Sean's strong reaction had aroused Heatley's vigilance, she had a look of hesitation on her face, she didn't know whether she should agree to this matter or not. But after thinking for a while, she still turned her head to look at Cefanio, and said softly: "Miss Cefanio, can I ask about the Church of Ice and Winter and Sir Sean Connery? Are there any cooperation projects in military affairs?"

Heatley used formal diplomatic terms, so this means that she is very serious about this matter, at least considering the issue in the interests of the Church of Life.

This attitude naturally caused William to give Sean another look.

However, with William's appearance, his glance at Xiao En did not make people feel uncomfortable or have any other expressions, on the contrary, he had a unique style. It's just that this made Sean even more helpless and terrified, so he simply stopped looking at William, but turned his head to look at Heately.

"It's nothing." Cefanio knew that if she could not answer this question well, or if the words were vague, then Heaterly would definitely refuse, so she would not be able to drag Heater into the water, so she was thinking After a while, Cephaneo answered, "It's just to go out with Xiao En's army when necessary. ... But most of the time, I actually go out with Sean to take risks and experience..."

Cefanio keenly noticed that when she said "adventure and experience with Sean", Heately's eyes flickered, showing a relatively strong interest.

"... Like before, we went to a wild place together. Although it was quite dangerous, it was really interesting." Cefanio smiled slightly and continued, "Of course, this is normal.... But if In wartime, I also need to be responsible for assisting Lord William in combat. After all, if Xiao En’s territory is captured by the enemy, we will also lose the right to preach the faith in the territory, so for this, I think military assistance It's actually tolerable."

Sean glanced at Cefanio, he didn't expect that even a cleric like Cefanio would lie - of course, it's not actually a lie, it's just that many troublesome problems and things are minimized speak. At least in terms of military assistance, Cephaneo only emphasized assistance in combat, and did not explain that once a war broke out, whether it was external aggression or internal defense, the Church of Ice and Snow would be involved in the war.

This is a literal trap.

Heathery frowned slightly, obviously not making a decision yet.

Soon, Cefanio and William turned their gazes to Sean, and at this moment, Sean understood that he had to say something.

After thinking about it, Sean coughed lightly to attract Heaterly's attention, and then said: "Actually, I still hope that you can stay here. Maybe there will be a lot of troubles for you in the future, and I will just talk to you." You are a priest of the Church of Life who is familiar with you, no matter what, I think we should be regarded as friends."

Hearing what Sean said, Heatley hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

And almost as soon as Heateley finished speaking, William took out a document and handed it to Heately with a gentle smile on his face: "I have already drawn up the agreement, and you swear by the name of the Goddess of Life." Just sign it."

Seeing such a neat move by William, Sean couldn't help being stunned again: Since when did this guy start thinking about Heather, and even the contract has already been drawn up? Will this move be too fast? Yes.

As for William's actions, Heatley is of course a little skeptical, but the content of this contract is not written too much, it is only two or three pages, and many of the contents can actually be ignored. There is only one treaty, which is to fulfill the same obligations as the Church of Ice and Snow and Winter that William said before, and there are no literal traps or contradictions at all.

But Heatley didn't know that the content of this contract was the real biggest trap in the entire contract document.

After confirming that there were no mistakes, Hitley swore in the name of God without hesitation, and then signed her name. (To be continued.)
