Lord of War

Sean sometimes wonders if these guys who have dedicated their lives to the gods have no fun.

Heately left as soon as Sean's injury was cured, and Cephane's situation was not much better than Heately's. After telling Ess Winter what she said, she turned around and left in the same way. , only Sean and Cecilia were left in the room.

The atmosphere became a little more subtle.

Sean stood up, pulled the chair back to the desk, and then picked up a shirt and tried to put it on, but for him who was not very convenient with one hand, this move was indeed quite difficult.

Cecilia came over and picked up a corner of the shirt.

Sean was taken aback for a moment, but Celia smiled generously, then grabbed Sean's left hand and stuffed it into his sleeve, helping Sean put the shirt on. Then he went around to Sean and started to help him button the buttons one by one.

"I didn't expect that little follower back then to grow up so big now." Sean chuckled lightly, and gently rubbed Cecilia's hair with his intact right hand.

Sean hadn't done this action for a long time, and only now did he realize that no matter how long it has passed, and no matter what the environment, Cecilia's hair seems to have always been so smooth and never becomes dry. Before he knew it, Sean inserted his hand along Cecilia's hair, and then slid down gently. The long golden hair kept slipping from Sean's hand, as if water was flowing quietly through his fingers.

"I'm not a child anymore." Cecilia buttoned up the last button for Sean, humming, but her face was slightly red.

Seeing Cecilia like this, even Sean lost his mind for a moment.

He vaguely remembered that although Cecilia was lonely back then, blocked by a group of gangsters in a street, her eyes were still like wolves at that time, full of a strange tenacity, without fear or compromise Sean still remembered that it was precisely because he was attracted by the two completely different auras of that little guy that he shot in that alley.

After that rainy night, he and Cecilia began to depend on each other for life.

In the blink of an eye, almost three years have now passed.

The little guy who was underage in the past has grown into a slim girl now.

Cecilia's face doesn't seem to have changed much, it's still as exquisite as before, and it's suffocating, but it's also obvious that she has grown up, at least her eyes and temperament are more mature and round than before. few. The long golden hair may have fallen to her waist because it has not been cut for a long time, but because Cecilia's hair is very soft and shiny, it looks more like a golden waterfall.

And even though she was only fourteen or five years old, her figure had already begun to develop. Now that three years have passed, even Xiao En can no longer completely ignore it. Although it is not as magnificent as Elizabeth and Asuna, it already has a power that cannot be underestimated. At least, unlike before, even if Cecilia just came out of the shower, no matter how steamy and wet Cecilia looked alluring, Sean couldn't sneer and express his disdain.

Cecilia is really the eldest son.

Both mind and body.

The atmosphere in the room seems to be a little fermented.

Even the roots of Cecilia's ears started to turn red.

"Ahem.

Sean coughed lightly, retracted his hand, and accidentally touched Cecilia's ear with his fingers. Cecilia's whole body tensed up like an electric shock. Even Sean was a little embarrassed. But soon, Sean spoke again , "Haven't you had dinner yet? , "...I'm hungry too, let's go eat something first.

"En." Cecilia nodded obediently.

Afterwards, the two quickly left the room.

The place to eat is not in the Lord's Mansion, but a few hundred meters south along the street outside the Lord's Mansion. There is a tavern opened by the townspeople of Hongye Town, which sells maple leaf wine and The red maple-themed food is not bad, and it is considered a relatively famous tavern in the entire Void City. Of course, it is still inferior to the place called Sunset Red Tavern that Xiao En once went to in Hongye Town.

But here in the Void City, this tavern is indeed the best choice.

After leaving the lord's mansion, feeling the coolness brought by the night breeze, Sean's mood relaxed a lot, and even Cecilia became visibly lively, as if the slight embarrassment in the room before , was also carried away with the breeze that had just blown.

Sean watched Cecilia's lightly bouncing steps on the street, and his heart was suddenly filled with emotion.

He knows that people will grow up after all, no matter how much he ignores this point, but the fact is that it is impossible to change with his personal will. The young girl is the best proof. Perhaps in a year or two, she will become a bright pearl that no one can ignore. I am afraid that she will not be much inferior to Elizabeth, who is now known as the bright pearl of the Principality of Ryan.

But at that time, what kind of identity will he present himself as?

Sean shook his head, tossing the question out of his mind, which wasn't what he was supposed to be thinking about.

At least, in the current situation, it's not what he should think about. The question he should really think about now is how to make use of the news that Cefanio told him tonight. Now that there are so many churches gathered here in the Void City, even if no one came to him today, it does not mean that tomorrow, No one will come to him the day after tomorrow, so how to solve the problem of spreading beliefs is not an easy task.

After all, Sean had promised the goddess Esswintle that only this god was allowed to preach teachings in his territory in order to complete the absolute belief in the territory. If it didn't happen that it was not too late, then Sean could still pull Cephaneo and Eswentelle out as shields, but when Esther said that the Goddess of Life was allowed to establish in Sean's territory From that moment on in the church, the nature of things became a little bit different.

Of course, what Sean didn't expect was that Neil would play such a big game, directly attracting churches from all over the continent.

But it's no use worrying about it.

Dinner, is finished in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

But as soon as the dinner was over, Sean immediately returned to the Lord's Mansion to discuss with Neil and William the issue of the right of belief of the people in the territory.

But this time, Cecilia also participated in the discussion of this meeting, and what made Sean feel unbelievable was that Cecilia actually came up with a very complete plan, which was obviously not a temporary plan. , at least Cecilia knew that Ace Winter's approach was earlier than Sean's.

Cecilia's approach was not complicated, and she just passed on the trouble of using Esswinter as a shield to the goddess of life.

After all, almost the entire Void City has already heard about the fact that Hitley entered the lord's mansion to treat Sean tonight, so this is of course something that can be used. Anyway, for people from other churches, it is directly publicized that Sean has reached an agreement with Heatley and will refuse other churches to settle in. Although this will also offend other churches, most of the hatred will be absorbed by the goddess of life, and will not Too much pressure on Sean.

At least until Sean's territory expands further, no one will care about the belief in Sean's territory. Moreover, most of the people in Sean's territory are now devout believers of the goddess of ice and snow. It is not easy to transfer their beliefs, which is enough for many churches to act cautiously.

But for Sean, Neil, William and others, the real problem is how to squeeze the Church of the Goddess of Life.

It is a loss-making business for Xiao En and others to let this church spread the faith in its own territory in vain. You know, Ess Winter paid the price that all priests, priests, and temple knights who believed in her had to obey Sean's command and arrangements. If the Goddess of Life wants to obtain the right to spread the belief in the territory and the right to build the temple without paying any price, it is of course impossible.

At the very least, the condition of being an army priest must be met.

You must know that if there are several priests of the Church of Life in an army, the survival rate of the army after the war will be greatly improved.

However, after discussing the overall details and judgments in this regard for several hours without reaching a conclusion, Sean waved his hand and handed over the authority to Neil, who will be fully responsible for the half-negotiation work with Heatley. In this respect, Sean is not worried about Neil making a mistake at all—of course, what is more important is that he must also carefully consider Esswin's mood.

If one party pays a high price to obtain something, but the other party obtains the same thing without any effort, then the party that pays a high price will definitely go directly into a state of rage. Sean didn't want to experience the anger of the gods at all, especially when he first met Cephaneo, the coercion directly descended from the former high god was so strong that Sean felt trembling, so If he could avoid provoking or meeting this goddess, Sean would try his best to avoid it.

After delegating power to Neil, Sean also left the conference room.

He also has a lot of work to deal with, such as the issue of recuperating, such as the issue of who will enter the Tinsin area next, and a lot of other miscellaneous things to deal with. Because this matter is related to the development prospects of the entire territory, Sean, Neil, William and others have already treated this matter as a priority. As long as William can come up with a specific plan and a backup plan, Then Sean will set off for Tinsin immediately.

At this point, there is absolutely no room for any delay.

Because according to what Asuna said before she left, this time there happened to be a member of the Peace Association near the trading capital, which is also quite close to Pandaland, and it is expected to arrive here in three or four months. And investigate. So no matter what, Sean must get the land contract document before the Peace Association investigators arrive at the Panda Territory. Only in this way can he avoid his plan being completely disrupted.

But this time, because the actions to be carried out are basically stealth and melee combat, and Cecilia is a magician, Sean doesn't plan to take Cecilia along with him.

And when Sean said this to Cecilia, Cecilia actually agreed very simply: "I feel that with my current situation, it really can't be of much help, so I decided to pass I will go back to Black Swan Castle in two days for more in-depth magic research and learning, at least I must master more magic to meet my strength."...After all, I am really lacking more magic now, which will make me The tactical mix is ​​relatively simple. "

Hearing Cecilia say this, Sean was stunned.

Because if it was in the past, Cecilia would definitely clamor to follow him. But now, Cecilia is more concerned about the overall strategic situation, and is no longer as willful as before. It seems that after returning from the wild land, Cecilia's changes can be completely controlled by mutations. describe.

At this moment, Sean really felt that Cecilia had really grown up. [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @偶世尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
