The Path of Ascension to the Priest

It is not a joke that the Holy See has tens of thousands of believers in the continent of Statu. After a generation of popes drove the dark forces into the ground 5000 years ago, the mainland was completely covered by light. The prestige of the Holy See was the same for a while, although With the passage of time, the power of the Holy See has gradually declined under the deliberate targeting of the kings of various countries, but the priest is still a noble and respectable existence in the eyes of the public.

Tang Qiu came to the main city with the knights and was placed in the residence of Marquis Davis.

"The Marquis has not returned after being summoned by the king, but he has already known of your arrival and expressed his welcome." The maid of the Marquis's Mansion handed Tang Qiu an invitation letter in her hand and said politely: "The Marquis invites you to attend the ceremony." Tomorrow night's banquet."

Tang Qiu took the invitation letter, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made her look like she was covered with a soft halo. She politely thanked, "Please tell Marquis Davis, I am honored to receive the invitation."

I don't know if it's because of the affinity of the light spell or because Tang Qiu's smile is too gentle, the maid was taken aback for a moment, and her originally polite tone softened, "Your Excellency, if you need anything, just call me."

Tang Qiu smiled and nodded, watching the maid's back disappear into the room, the corners of her mouth slowly retracted, and the invitation letter in her hand twirled around between her fingers. Big bed, this time he smiled sincerely.

She really had enough of sleeping in the wild.

If life cannot be enjoyed, what is left?Tang Qiu took off the cloak and hood on his body and put it aside, revealing a pure white gown inside. This is the priest's gown of the Holy See. Elegant, the collar button is fastened to the top one, the slender and graceful neck is tightly wrapped, a pair of silver boots under the feet, only the face and hands are exposed from the whole body.

In the eyes of the world, priests are holy, noble and elegant, and only pure white and spotless robes are worthy of their status.

It is a rule of the Holy See that believers who believe in light are not allowed to marry, because believers must dedicate their lives to the goddess of light.

Tang Qiu stood in front of the mirror and looked at his body, perfect and three-dimensional facial features, deep and affectionate sky blue pupils, long blond hair and white almost transparent skin... This appearance can indeed give She brings advantages, but also countless troubles.

After all, Tang Qiu didn't look bad before time travel, so he knew the pros and cons of it.

She raised her head slightly, raised her hand to unbutton a few buttons on the collar, stroked the shocking purple circle on her neck with her slender fingers, and frowned slightly. Tang Qiu felt that her neck was not very comfortable when she crossed over. , Then I found a chance to check and found this circle of bruises.

The circle of bruises clearly told Tang Qiu how he died. The fire in the Holy See destroyed all clues to the murderer, but Tang Qiu still remembered that when he opened his eyes, he was startled by the corpses around him. , and then discovered the fire burning to the front.

The death of those priests was horrific, as if they had been culled by wild animals. There was not a complete body. Tang Qiu could recall it as soon as she closed her eyes, and it gave her a chill down her spine.

Compared with these priests, the bruise on her neck is a bit special.

It was so special that Tang Qiu was terrified, always thinking that the murderer who slaughtered the Holy See might have targeted her in the first place.

There are too many secrets in the original body and she has no memory. In the future, she must be more careful not to reveal her identity. However, fortunately, the Goss Empire and Edri are at odds, so they cannot come here to investigate blatantly.

Tang Qiu lay down on the bed, the soft touch made her tense nerves relax a lot, she covered her mouth and yawned, closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

During the period of sleeping outdoors with Irene, Tang Qiu couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well, and her spirit was still in a tense state. Now she finally changed to a comfortable environment, and she has gradually adapted to this world. "Desire to enjoy" began to stir around the corner.

Supreme power is not ambition but a survival attitude. It is not her character to be a mouse hiding in the ground, she wants to live in the sun.

However, she should first think about how to survive on this continent.

She fastened the buttons on her neckline one by one, and then carefully combed her hair. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the corners of the blonde girl in the mirror also raised the corners of her mouth, with a gentle and friendly smile on her face. .

On the eve of the banquet, the Marquis of Davis specially sent a maid to pick her up. The maid was the one who gave her the invitation letter before. She had a good impression of Tang Qiu, so she said a few more words on the way, "This banquet It is a private banquet of the Marquis of Davis, and only friends, swordsmen and priests who came at the call of His Majesty the King were invited."

Tang Qiu smiled at her, "Okay, I will relax and enjoy this banquet."

"The Marquis will be pleased to know." The maid took Tang Qiu to the banquet location and left.

Since Tang Qiu stepped into the entertainment circle, he has participated in countless banquets, large and small, and he has already cultivated his smooth social skills.

Although it was the first time for her to attend a banquet held in the name of the Marquis.

Although the country of Edri is small, its economy is very rich. The number of nobles is twice that of a country of the same size. The Marquis of Davis is a close confidant of King Charles, and his assets are among the best in Edri.

A hall specially built for banquets is full of splendor and splendor. On the walls are hung oil paintings with rich colors that can highlight the taste of the owner. Red blankets are spread all over the floor. A golden statue as tall as a person is placed on the Right in the middle of the hall.

Tang Qiu stepped on the soft carpet and stopped more than one meter away from the statue. He looked up at the statue and suspected that the statue might be carved after the Marquis of Davis.

Judging from the arrangement style of this banquet, Tang Qiu felt that his guess should be correct.

Most of the people who came to the banquet were aristocrats, and the social activities of the upper class are always extremely luxurious. Men and women in court gowns gather together in twos and threes in bright tunes, and the men surround Davis The Marquis flattered and flattered, and the ladies covered their mouths and smiled gracefully.

This gorgeous event belonged to the nobles with noble status, and some wealthy businessmen who were also invited were a bit out of place here. However, the priests did not have to worry about this problem at all, because the pure white robes on them were noble enough.

As soon as Tang Qiu entered the banquet, he attracted the attention of many people. The men's eyes were fixed on the face of the blond priest, while the ladies looked at the priest's clothes on her with envy.

Although the Holy See actively develops followers of the light, not many can become priests, because those who can sense the physique of light are one in a million.

Marquis Davis pushed away the people around him and walked to Tang Qiu's side. The well-tailored dress well hid his bulging belly and added a bit of majesty to him. Of course, this must be when he is not smiling. Only then can it be maintained, "Priest Grace, welcome to my banquet."

Looking at Davis's face, Tang Qiu secretly complained that the model of the golden statue was really him, and responded with a smile, "It's my honor."

"Recently, a lot of things happened to Eddie. His Majesty the King didn't protect his people well, and I feel very heartbroken." Davis also shook his head sadly. He raised his hand to grab Tang Qiu's palm for comfort. But she avoided it very naturally.

Davis had no choice but to hold his other hand, "Your Majesty thinks that there are black witches in Eddie. It's great that you can come to help us."

"This is what I should do."

Davis smiled kindly, then pointed to the right direction, "There are your companions there, I hope you can enjoy the banquet tonight."

Tang Qiu turned her head and followed the direction he pointed, and she saw two priests wearing pure white robes. She had expected to meet other priests, so she remained calm and exchanged pleasantries with Davis. After a few words, he headed towards the priest.

According to Tang Qiu’s initial understanding of the Vatican’s system from the priest’s handbook, the high-level executives with decision-making power in the Vatican are actually in the Vatican State, and half of the countries in the Staru Continent have established the Vatican, and there are bishops, priests, and There are countless numbers of priests and believers of light who have experienced in the mainland.

Therefore, after the Holy See of the Goss Empire was completely destroyed, Tang Qiu felt that finding a priest who could recognize him was a low-probability event.

When the two priests saw Tang Qiu, they took the initiative to greet her. Just as Tang Qiu expected, she didn't know Grace's identity.

These two priests have not been in the Holy See for a long time. They have passed the baptism of light, but they still need three years of experience before they can serve in the Holy See of any country and work hard to climb up from a small priest.

Seeing Tang Qiu's strong aura of light, they showed a hint of envy on her face, thinking that she had already served in a certain country, so they asked, "Excuse me, which country do you work in?"

In fact, what they thought was not wrong, but Tang Qiu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he denied it without changing his face, "I haven't completed three years of training."

The two priests were a little surprised, "We are too." After they knew that Tang Qiu was like them, they were not so restrained, "These three are our companions, and the two of us are currently members of the mercenary team."

Some priests will join the mercenary team for easier training.

Tang Qiu greeted the other members of the mercenary team one by one. She only knew a little about the affairs of the Holy See, so she couldn't tell the level of these swordsmen.

While they were exchanging greetings, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall. A group of knights guarded the entrance with swords. A woman more beautiful than roses stepped on the red carpet and walked in gracefully, wearing a gorgeous dress. , crisp/breast half exposed, light brown curly hair scattered behind her, and a delicate pearl hairpin pinned to her side, she held up the hem of her skirt and saluted the Marquis Davis, as if she hadn’t seen Davis’s livid face, without saying a word Laugh first, "Master Marquis, how can I miss out on the banquet, Mrs. Anna."

With a black face, Davis warned, "This is my private banquet, you..."

Before he finished speaking, another person walked in behind Mrs. Anna, wearing a satin shirt, black trousers, and a pair of riding boots on his feet. His iconic long red hair shocked the entire banquet. Except for the Marquis of Davis and a few of his cronies, everyone exclaimed excitedly, "Marshal Lucille."

Lucille stopped suddenly in the middle of her walk, pointed to the golden statue blocking the way ahead, and ordered to the knight behind her, "Move away."

The knight trotted to the front and swiftly removed the golden statue in the middle.

Davis blushed when he saw his statue being removed, but he didn't dare to challenge Lucille, so he could only put his hands on his chest to let the air flow.

After the statue was removed, Tang Qiu felt that the whole hall was much more spacious. She listened to the whispers in her ears, and looked around by the way, and found that since the arrival of Marshal Lucille, the originally lively banquet had cooled down in an instant.

Everyone has become a lot more reserved.

Mrs. Anna was not interested in the dark-faced Marquis of Davis. She swayed to Tang Qiu and the others with her skirt in her hand. The handsome swordsman must have arrived long ago."

Her voice was deliberately lowered, and she exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Although those swordsmen had been on the mainland for a long time, they still felt a little uncomfortable facing Mrs. Anna's teasing/teasing.

Anna's gaze reluctantly moved away from the swordsman's strong body, and when she looked up at Tang Qiu, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she touched her lips and looked at her from head to toe.

Tang Qiu was a little surprised by her reaction, and couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with me?"

Mrs. Anna covered her lips and shook her head, with a smile in her bright eyes, "I just think it's very kind to see Your Excellency the Priest." She took out a box with a pink bow tie from the space gem and stuffed it to Tang Qiu, "Greetings."

Tang Qiu took the box in a daze, looked down, and when he was considering how to decline, Mrs. Anna had already skipped her and started talking with another priest.

Mrs. Anna is Eddie's most famous courtesan, with top-notch techniques and top-notch dance moves. As long as she is present, she will be the first to warm up the first dance at the banquet.

Mrs. Anna entered the dance floor, and those swordsmen who had their souls seduced also went with them. When the atmosphere of the banquet gradually warmed up, Tang Qiu found a corner and looked down at the box in his hand.

The box is very light, and the pink bow is very Mrs. Anna's style.

She hesitated to open it, but it would be impolite to open the gift when the owner was still there.

"Anna is inviting you, and wants to spend a wonderful night with you." An indifferent voice sounded in her ear, Tang Qiu subconsciously looked sideways, and found that Lucille was standing not far from her.

She held a wine glass in her hand, with no wine in it, and she played with it at will.

Not far away, there were two knights guarding there, blocking any nobles who wanted to approach Lucille.

Tang Qiu was only stunned for a second, then smiled and replied: "Tonight is already very wonderful for me to receive the greeting gift from Mrs. Anna."

Lucille glanced sideways at her, then looked away again.

Tang Qiu touched the bow on the box, feeling a little surprised that Lucille's pupils turned out to be dark red.
