My Pokémon Player

Outside Yinghuo Town, several people wearing white robes with blue stripes were sitting on the big-billed gulls and looking at the distant town.

"This town looks pretty good, not as dilapidated as expected." A man in white robes said.

"But I still don't understand, Lady Saint, why you ignored so many big cities and insisted on choosing this town."

"I heard that Firefly Town was one of the towns most severely damaged by the beast tide. Almost all the knights died in the battle, and even the lord has disappeared. The person who takes over as the lord now seems to be a child under twenty years old."

"Such a town has no future at all. It won't even be long before it is occupied by other territories. You won't gain much merit by rebuilding the church here. I suggest you."

"Shut up, Knight Mayor. As guardian knights, we only need to obey the orders of the Holy Lady. Her will is the direction of our battle. What qualifications do you have to dictate here? Why don't you hurry up and ask the Holy Lady?" Apologize, sir!”

Another man in white robe interrupted Mayor's words, then bowed slightly to the saint and said:

"I'm sorry, Lady Saint, Mayor has just become a guardian knight, and he doesn't understand the rules yet. He can't help but be a bit outspoken when he speaks. But he is absolutely loyal to you. Please forgive him for his recklessness."

Upon seeing this, Knight Mayol knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly bowed and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Lady Saint, I shouldn't question your decision, please forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter. I know that Knight Mayor has good intentions and he also thinks about me."

The saint said with a smile, her voice as soft and sweet as trickling spring water.

"Also, please Knight Commander Moni please stop calling me Saint. I am only one of the three candidates for Saint in the southern diocese. I am not a real Saint yet. You can just call me Elsa."

"As you command, Lady Elsa."

Moni also understands what Aisha means. They can naturally call Aisha a saint among themselves. Anyway, they are all their own and no one will spread the word.

But it’s better not to call her a saint outside. If it accidentally spreads to other saint candidates, it will become a “weapon” for them to criticize Elsa.

"I know many of you don't understand why I chose this small town. In fact, the reason is very simple. Only here can I make a difference."

"Although big cities have large populations and developed economies, the people in power in the cities will definitely be wary of us and even hinder our missionary work. They don't want their power to be shared."

"For example, Guanhai City is very close to this town. It is the largest port city in the southeast region. Logically speaking, we should go there. You guys probably think so too."

"But as far as I know, Guanhai City is now completely controlled by the Merchant Alliance. Even the city lord has been ignored by them, let alone our Poseidon Temple."

"Every time the bishop of the Haicheng branch temple reported on his work, he said that the missionary effect was very good. He said that most of the people there believed in our Haichen temple. Could it be that he was lying?"

Mayor said with shock on his face.

"Yes, Archbishop Hatton has sent people to Guanhai City to investigate. The bishop there has long been bribed by the merchant alliance, and the reports he reported are all false news."

"Damn it! As a bishop, he actually betrayed his faith and became the lackey of that group of businessmen! Then we should go to Guanhai City and severely punish this scum like him with religious laws!"

Mayor clenched his fists, wishing he could go to Guanhai City and arrest the bishop right now.

"Knight Mayor, please calm down. The bishop of Guanhai City will be punished sooner or later, but not now. The Merchant Alliance has become more and more influential in the past two years, and we cannot conflict with them for the time being."

Elsa explained calmly.

In fact, the most important thing she didn't mention was that although the merchant alliance bought the bishop of Guanhai City and slapped the Poseidon Temple in the face, they would donate a large amount of money and treasures to the Poseidon Temple through this bishop every year.

This is the key reason why Poseidon Temple does not care about this matter. After all, no matter how pure faith is, it cannot be used as money. The operation of Poseidon Temple requires a lot of money, and the merchant alliance can provide this money.

Poseidon Temple can turn a blind eye to the merchant alliance's bribery of the bishop, but the merchant alliance must donate a large amount of money to Poseidon Temple every year. There is quite a tacit understanding between the two.

Of course, only some of the higher-ups knew about this kind of thing that tarnished the reputation of Poseidon. Lower-level guardian knights like Mayor were definitely unaware.

Elsa only learned about this after she became a candidate for a saint. The archbishop of her faction repeatedly told her not to go into the muddy waters of Guanhai City.

In that place, let alone her as a candidate for a saint, even if the real saint went there, I'm afraid there would be nothing that the merchant alliance could do.

"Sorry, Lady Aisha, I was rude."

After hearing Elsa's explanation, Mayor apologized to her again.

The Knight Commander Moni next to him glared at Mayor with a look of hatred.

He had obviously told him not to question Aisha's decision just now, but he turned around and forgot. If he hadn't been his disciple, Moni would have kicked him out long ago.

"That's why you chose Yinghuo Town. The lord of this town has just taken office not long ago and has not yet controlled all the power. He will not cause any obstacles to our missionary work."

Moni quickly changed the subject.

"That's right, and Firefly Town has just been attacked by a beast tide. Now it is still in a state of disrepair and people's hearts are in turmoil. As long as we help them a little and show some miracles, they will definitely believe in Lord Poseidon crazily!"

"By then, the power of our branch temple will even surpass that little lord and become the real ruler of this town. Such achievements are no better than the other two candidates being mascots in big cities."

Elsa said confidently.

"Your foresight is admirable. I believe you will definitely defeat the other two saint candidates and become the real saint of our southern diocese. We will be the sharpest sword in your hand to clear all obstacles in front of you!"

Moni bowed and saluted. He now sincerely admired this saint candidate.

He thought Elsa was full of saintly heart and came here to rebuild the branch temple out of pity for this town destroyed by the beast tide. He didn't expect her to consider so much.

But it's also true that she can kill out of hundreds of candidates in the southern diocese and become the only three saint candidates. How could she be too kind in her heart?

It seems that he was also influenced by the bard and believed that the saints were pure and flawless.

In fact, these saint candidates had much more thoughts than they imagined.

But it was good that way. They, the guardian knights, were already bound to Elsa, and they were in a relationship of prosperity and loss.

It was better to follow a thoughtful saint candidate than a naive person.

"Thank you for your compliments. I will have to rely on the help of your guardian knights in the future. Okay, let's go down first and see what the current situation of this town is like."

"Yes!"

Elsa and her group commanded the big-mouthed gulls to descend and prepare to land.

And the players who were farming on the edge of the territory were the first to discover them.

"Fuck! Brothers, look, a fairy flew down from the sky!!"
