957 Monica's ambition
"Aren't you afraid of ruining the character you played before?"
In response to Beta's question, Monica chuckled, "Don't be afraid. It is normal for a woman to be emotional in the face of a handsome man. Besides, my current identity was originally poor, but now I have ascended to the sky in one step, and it is natural to fly high. ”
Beta was a little surprised: "You know a lot about human nature." ”
"I don't know much, but I've observed how this kind of woman from a poor background will behave when she suddenly reaches a high position. Most of them do, and only occasionally one or two can be more restrained. ”
Beta nodded: "It's the same for both men and women in this regard. ”
Monica continued: "It's you, the Pope of the Fortune God Cult, who have to play a little white face, will you feel very suffocated? And if anyone finds out, your sect's reputation will be damaged. ”
Beta touched her dyed hair and a pair of disguised brown eyes: "Ordinary people can't see it." And who would have thought that a pope would personally run undercover to the enemy's stronghold. ”
Speaking of this, Monica also admired it very much: "You are the most daring and powerful person I have ever met." This is usually done by subordinates, and the head of the battle himself is the first time I have seen it. ”
"What's next?" Beta asked.
Monica thought for a moment and said, "It depends on how much time you have. If you have enough time to stay in the city, then we can proceed cautiously, and if you have less time, then use a radical approach. ”
"Be cautious." "After all, safety comes first," Beta said. ”
Monica looked at him with some surprise: "Are you worried about me?" ”
Her expression suddenly became excited: "Does this mean that you regard me as your own?" ”
Beta said lightly: "After all, you are Sasha's eldest sister, and I have no direct conflict relationship with you. As long as you don't blame me for doing bad things to you in France. ”
Monica said with some joy, "Let the past be over." I'm not as interested in the throne as I thought I was, anyway. ”
Beta has always felt that Monica is a woman with great ambitions. But she knew that after Sasha became the queen, she didn't go back to find Sasha's trouble, but ran to the Holy City of Life and 'started from scratch' again.
It has to be said that those who have the ability can survive anywhere.
It's just a little over a year later, and she actually climbed to the position of bishop.
"Since you have enough time, then I can take my time. Let's do something to build up prestige first. Monica thought for a moment and said, "I continue to treat the poor for free." Recently, though, I've been short of money. Beta, why don't you invest in me, just as other merchants invest in the young nobles they fancie. ”
"How much do you need?"
Although Beta's tone was indifferent, there was a sense of confidence.
Monica heard this confidence, and said unceremoniously: "The more the merrier." ”
With a wave of Beta's hand, a pile of gems was scattered on the table. There were at least hundreds, each about the size of a baby's fist.
These colorful, reflective 'stones' made Monica scream.
Although when she was in the Kingdom of France before, she never thought these things were so beautiful. But now she has a different status, she is very short of money at the beginning, and she also knows how to appreciate the 'beauty' of these things.
After all, people are poor and short-minded.
Moreover, thanks to the 'credit' of beta, most types of gemstones have recently risen to become a strategic resource, and the price has at least doubled depending on the use, and the value of some scarce gemstones has increased several times.
Take one of these gems out casually, and the gold coins exchanged for them can sustain her activity funds for a long time.
"These are all mine?"
"It's all for you." Beta nodded.
"Do I take care of you, or do you take care of me?" Monica exclaimed, and she suddenly clasped her hands together and said, "With these gems, I suddenly have an idea." ”
Beta looked at her, waiting for her explanation.
"The holy daughter of our Cult of God loves gems." "Maybe I can use these gems to get in touch with her," Monica said. Do you have any thoughts? ”
Beta shook her head: "I'm not familiar with the Life God Cult, you can follow your own steps." ”
Monica smiled shallowly, and even the gloomy coldness on her body weakened: "You really trust me." ”
Beta just smiled and didn't speak.
He has always felt that there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to use suspicious people. If the other party really harms himself, it is also because he doesn't know anyone, and he can't see the true face of the other party in a long time.
That's a question of competence.
Employing people is a matter of method.
The two are not in conflict.
"Then you can rest here first, and tomorrow you will go to the slum with me to help them get free medical care."
Beta looked around, "It seems like there's only one bed here." ”
"We can sleep together...... Monica suddenly pretended to be very aggrieved, "Can you bear to let me sleep on the floor alone?" ”
Beta chuckled and dodged into the mansion space.
Looking at the empty bedroom, Monica snorted, looking quite unhappy. But she knew that Beta must be watching her on another plane.
Then she slept in kimono. She slept very well and deeply. By the time she woke up, the sun was on her bed.
Monica woke up, got up suddenly, and saw a picture that made her a little confused.
Beta sat at the table, slowly eating a hearty breakfast, while beside him, a rather pretty, but cold maid served.
Monica's dress was familiar to Monica, and when she thought about it closely, she realized that it was the same one Beta had given her to wear after she had broken her last time.
It turned out to be this woman's...... No, Monica was completely awakened from the dazed drowsiness of getting out of bed.
"Beta...... Who is this woman? And where did you get these breakfasts? ”
Beta patted the table gently: "Don't ask so much yet, let's talk about breakfast later." ”
Oh!
Although eating breakfast, Monica looked at Julie on the side with a puzzled expression. After finishing her meal, she looked at Beta stunned, hoping that he would give her an explanation.
Any woman who sees another beautiful woman in her family will have a similar reaction.
"This is my maid, Julie." Beta said: "Usually she is responsible for taking care of my food, clothing and daily life. ”
"Usually?" Monica was very smart, and she immediately thought of a fairly reliable possibility: "Your magical space can hide large living people." ”
Beta nodded, and with a wave of her hand, she put Julie into the mansion space.
"It's amazing." Monica was stunned and said, "The space that can hide large living people has not appeared for many years. ”
Beta smiled indifferently.
Monica looked at Beta, and stopped talking.
"You can't learn it, die." Beta knew what she was thinking, and directly gagged her first: "You don't have a talent for space, I can see it." You can barely learn simple space magic, but the space theory involved in mansion space is not something you can touch. ”
Monica let out a long sigh, a little lost.
The magic space that can hide people must be very large. With such a large space, whether it is at home or out, it is quite a task, after all, when important things are put inside, who can take them out, and it is easy to access them, which can save a lot of effort.
"Then let's go to the slums first."
Monica stepped out of her bedroom, and saw three professionals hired yesterday waiting not far ahead.
When the three of them saw the mistress and Beta come out together, their eyes were all strange. If you want to arch the cabbage, and someone else arches it first, everyone will be unhappy.
Starting from the affluent area, after reaching the slums, Monica walked to a low house. There is a simple table, as well as a simple chair.
Monica sat down in her chair, and the poor people next to her immediately ran to tell each other.
"Ms. Celia, you're here to give us free treatment again."
Seeing this scene, Beta was a little surprised.
And then something even more surprising happened. Monica had a rather gentle smile on her face when she treated the poor, and she didn't have the slightest impatience even if the poor people were dirty and smelly.
Such expressions last from the beginning to the end.
She can also take a few bites of the hard and unpalatable dry food sent by the poor people as if nothing happened.
From this time together, Beta felt that Monica was definitely not such a patient person. In order to realize one's ambitions, one can completely hide one's true nature, which is also a skill.
At least Beta doesn't feel like she can do it to that extent.
At night, Monica dragged her tired body and walked back. The three people who came to see her looked at her with *** and some disdain.
And after just such a day, their eyes have changed a lot, at least a little more admiration.
Most of the mercenaries are civilians or even poor people, and they will have a certain respect for this kind of priest who is willing to treat civilians for free.
Back in the bedroom, Beta cast a spell on Monica to ward off fatigue, and then said, "If you can continue today's events, the saints may fight in the future." ”
"I don't want to!" Monica shook her head: "The saint can only do it for ten or twenty years." And you can't find a man during the period, it's more just a symbol, and it's not interesting. If I could, I'd rather be a female pope. ”
As Monica spoke, the ambition in her eyes began to burn like a raging flame.
Beta felt that Monica was full of action.
It's just that it's a little difficult to be a female pope, after all, there is no precedent, and it's even harder than being a queen.
