Chapter 201: This is a victory over strategy, isn't it?
After a long and tedious conversation, Raphael behaved appropriately, without overstepping and without reducing the momentum of the scheming goddess, which made the three archbishops have a sense of looking at Raphael, a fighting priest, as a rising star. If this man had been to develop him, he would surely have become the chief of the most outstanding inquisition under the goddess of strategy, or the high priest of the temple like them!
Therefore, although the divine power level of the three gods was higher than that of the goddess of strategy, they did not despise Raphael in the slightest. This is understandable, unless the relationship between the two gods is very poor, they will all be reverent to the other temple personnel. After all, no one wants to be the enemy of the world, even if it is a group of three, they still maintain a very good relationship with many gods!
Suddenly, four divine lights descended from the temple where the four people were, as if to convey something, Raphael saw the red knight, the goddess of strategy, through the divine light, the red knight was wearing a set of quite close-fitting crimson body armor, not the kind of wide armor for men and women, but the kind of armor specially made according to the curves of women's figures.
As for the hand armor and leg armor, it is a leaf armor in the style of the High Elves, which is a special blade-like armor that can be extended and attached to the body armor and combat boots according to the user's wishes! And unlike what is usually seen, the red knight is wearing a red helmet like a flame on his head at the moment, the shape is very gorgeous, covering her face below, and it seems that through the baffle, you can see the light blue eyes that are not threatening and angry, which looks very formal!
"Wadsworth Hausman, I am very pleased with what you have done. The three gods praise your behavior, and you can make a decisive move at a critical time, showing your decisiveness and wisdom......" A compliment without too much nutrition, the Red Knight's voice was dignified and serious, and Raphael could only kneel on the ground helplessly with a pious appearance, listening to the words of the Red Knight, Raphael always felt that the face of the Red Knight under the helmet revealed a very cunning smile!
However, he knew very well that this was the Red Knight's protection for himself, and the divine powers beside him were just to hide the fluctuations of the magic power in his body, so Raphael also applied some magic on himself before coming in. After all, if the three gods knew that they were a magician, it would not only be Raphael who would suffer, but the Red Knight would definitely not have a good time! It's called a sitting!
His Excellency the Archbishop of the Three Gods also nodded and listened to the oracle of the Three Gods.
In the end, the guests and hosts were happy, and the three archbishops all had smiles on their faces, and Raphael keenly felt that the strength in them had become stronger! The three gods are not stingy!
Accepting the kindness of the three archbishops, Raphael temporarily lived in a small single-family villa, after all, he also felt a little tired of these days of traveling, first let the little fox go to call the little Lori and them back, the city after this 'vampire scourge' looks very dilapidated, especially at this moment it is already night, some of the magic lamps on the street fall to the ground, some flash, so that the whole street has a ghost movie.
The inhabitants of the city and the low-ranking temple personnel alike moved along the paths to clean up the corpses on the ground, which would be mourned by the temple priests in front of the temple tomorrow morning, and the vampires' corpses would be collected by the temple personnel to prevent the spirits from being exploited by those who had the heart to do so!
The carriage that Raphael rode in was used by the upper echelons of the temple, and it was the Holy Horse of Light, which was as white as snow and could emit light like a magic lamp itself, so it was kept in captivity by many temples and used as a weapon! The carriage is depicted with the emblem of the three, which shows the dignity of the people in the carriage! Even if the high-level of the temple uses a carriage, it is only a single temple emblem, and there is a three-coat of arms on this carriage, and its significance is self-evident!
Therefore, when the temple personnel saw the carriage, they would stop what they were doing and salute the carriage, so that the residents would follow suit.
The carriage stopped at the door of this little cottage, and the carriage door was pulled open, "Pastor Wattsworth, here we are. "This temple priest said in a respectful tone, he was a temple member who had fought side by side with Raphael before, so he knew very well that Raphael was powerful, not to mention that the identity of this person's god had spread in the temple of the three gods, which brought Raphael a kind of 'rich and handsome' aura!
"Okay, I'm in trouble." Raphael jumped from the carriage, the small villa was not affected by its proximity to the Temple of the Three Gods, and the illumination at the door was not a magic lamp, but a holy light lamp with the characteristics of the temple.
"The house is very well stocked, and we may not be able to provide you with a maid due to the situation in Perkin Harbor, please forgive me for that." The temple official said with some apologies.
"No, that's already very good. I don't usually live in such a nice house when I'm traveling. Raphael waved his hand absently.
"If you don't mind, then I'll go first, there are still things in the temple that we need to help deal with."
The two saluted each other, and the temple staff got into the carriage again and left the place with the reins of the horse, looking at the figure of the carriage gradually moving away, Raphael opened the iron door and walked into the small villa, and saw a surging fountain under the light, there were manicured flowers and plants on both sides of the road, and the fresh smell of flowers and plants in the air, and he closed his eyes and sniffed vigorously, which soothed his tired spirit a little.
Finally eliminated this biggest threat, as for Higuain Vaughntu? The deal between them may seem like a nuisance, but would Raphael be afraid of him speaking out? If he dares to show up, then these nervous trifags will definitely think of sanctioning him without saying a word!
Raphael still wished that he would go to the disciples of the Temple of the Three to catch up, and as for him to come to trouble himself? That's even better, the Tsmich family he founded is not reluctant to come to these excellent family members!
Clearing his mind, Raphael pushed open the door of this small villa, where a two-meter-high statue of Tyr, the god of justice, was surrounded by a circular staircase, a three-storey house with a lot of space, but the decoration was very plain, not at all in line with the value of this villa.
Lie down on a fluffy couch, spread your limbs, and gently close your eyes.
Suddenly, a soft light shone on his eyelids, causing him to slowly open his eyes.
"You kid is quite bold, even those three dare to deceive! If you hadn't used that gadget I gave you back to give me an understanding in advance, otherwise I would have said I didn't know when those three came to me, and you would have been miserable! It must have been directly purified by those three believers! "You don't have to listen to the voice, Raphael knows that the Red Knight is coming, after all, she is using her name to deceive this time, and it is impossible for her not to come to herself. The reason why Raphael was lying on this sofa was to wait for the arrival of the Red Knight, but she came quite punctually, and appeared not long after she lay down.
The divine light was soft and warm, and most of the tiredness on Raphael's face dissipated, after all, the Red Knight did not have a healing priesthood, so you can't expect her divine light to refresh you.
At this moment, the red knight took off the light armor on his body and put on a red dress, which was very amazing! This is a very special beauty, it is not the long skirt that sets off her, but she raises the taste of this ordinary long dress by several notches!
That being said, the goddess didn't look scared at all. On the contrary, she seemed very happy and excited, and it was really not a sense of accomplishment to be able to deceive these three gods who were stronger than her! In particular, her priesthood is also related to this aspect, which has increased her divine power a lot! Falling from the sky, her white calves and clean feet contrasted with her wheat-colored skin.
Those three are naturally trifags, just like the last time the Red Knight called Anho, the god of war, that guy, and Meske, the god of thieves, the bad guy, the gods don't have a sense of what mortals call their priesthood, just like a lion doesn't care about the cry of an ant. But if it's another lion's cry, then it's impossible not to care!
So the Red Knight can only use a few words to refer to them, so that they don't notice that they are talking about them.
"That's a victory over strategy, isn't it?" Raphael chuckled softly, looking unconcerned. It's not a very difficult thing to deceive the three, it's like cheating a brainless person, you just have to make him believe what you say, and he will rush all the way to the end like a brute bull.
"Little one, I really like you a little." The Red Knight laughed heartily, and then sat down on the couch beside him.
"That's one step closer to my goal, isn't it." Shrugging his shoulders, Raphael put his hand in front of his mouth and yawned.
"But this time I really owe you an adult invitation, although those three didn't say any words of thanks, but with the usual behavior of those three people, your behavior this time is enough for them to have a good sense of me. A little bit of operation might be a good start. The Red Knight directly ignored Raphael's impropriety, and said very solemnly, maybe this is the first time she has faced up to Raphael's character! After all, it is not common for mortals to be able to fool the gods three times and twice!
"It's up to the power of your temples, and if you can insert people into their territory and develop them, your influence will definitely increase again. If you can, I personally recommend that you build temples in three places: Gablereth, Lindbergh, and Monian Reef. "The three places that Raphael is talking about are still not well-known, but they will become war zones in the future. It just so happened that there were temples of the three gods in these three places, and if the Red Knight could install his own forces in these three places, he would definitely be able to bring her a lot of rewards in the future.
"Huh? I'll seriously consider it. The Red Knight said this, but he already had a goal in his heart.
"What are your thoughts on the situation in Perkin Harbor? Do you think those three believers will be able to control this area? Moving on to the question of his interest, it was clear that the Red Knight had Raphael as a good person to talk to.
"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about their behavior. Some of them are in too much of a hurry! Such cities that would assign city lords were the direct territories of the Ottore Royalty, and it was impossible for the Ottore Royalty to give up these territories. Especially when they are so eager for quick success! This food look, seriously, is really ugly! ”
"The Ottore royal family will not make concessions, and neither will the orthodox nobles. They won't let the Temple truly control the fertile, oily gold mine of Perkin Harbor! Because this will make the national policy that the Ottore Empire has been advocating a joke, which the nobles do not want to see! They might be able to give you a piece of the pie, but if you put a whole piece of cake in front of you and want to swallow it, they'll be in a hurry to flip the table! ”
"If it were me, I would let my men encroach on a part of the rich land, and let them divide and fight for the rest. Not only will this distract others, but they will also choose to turn a blind eye because they are afraid of your strength. After all, you are in control of the righteousness, and the inhabitants will definitely have a great sense of belonging to the temple after this difficulty. This is actually very similar to the original Bartholomew City. Unless they don't want to stay in the Ottore Empire, this bite of meat will still have to be spit out! ”
Regarding the question of the Red Knight, Raphael was also thinking about whether those commoner nobles could really help the Temple of the Three Faggets control the entire Perkin Harbor, the answer was no, the reason why the commoner nobles were called commoner nobles was that they had no history or family background. It is difficult to compare with those orthodox nobles, don't look at the death of so many nobles in the city lord's mansion, as long as their descendants do not die, then the next day, there will be a new inheritor of this title. And if the commoner nobleman dies, then the title will disappear directly.
This is the reality, and this is why those orthodox aristocrats look down on the commoner aristocracy, calling them 'country aristocrats' and 'mud aristocrats'.
The Red Knight nodded thoughtfully, she may have a very advanced research and achievements in battles and strategies. However, for the aristocratic game, this kind of thing is not as good as Raphael's old fritter! After all, her canonization was done under the condition that the god of battle, Tampas, was taken care of, and she was directly enshrined from the battlefield, so she didn't come into contact with the twists and turns between the nobles at all. "That's fine, if those three set such a precedent, then we little gods won't be able to mess around."
