Putting the "Stephen" thing aside for a while, Sean turned and walked into the small conference room.

In the conference room, there were already three people sitting at this time.

Cecilia, Shephaneo, and Heatley.

The three of them obviously didn't expect Sean to suddenly appear here, so they were all obviously surprised by Sean's appearance.

"Your Lord."

"Sean?"

Heatley and Sean didn't have much to deal with, that is, they only met when they helped Sean deal with his injuries, and later about the Church of Life's preaching doctrine and recruiting believers in Sean's territory, it was Heatley and Neil who were responsible for negotiating. It's just obvious that Heatley, who is not deeply involved in the world, is not good at these jobs at all, so only two negotiations have been held, and Heatley has been completely defeated, if it weren't for the fact that the Life Church urgently sent a person who is good at negotiations, I'm afraid Heatley would have to sell herself.

A future saint sells herself to Sean, which looks like a very ironic joke no matter how you look at it.

For Shefanio, though, it's not a big deal. Anyway, not only her, but even Ace Winter, the goddess of ice and winter, who was nominally her ancestor and now her immediate boss, had already sold herself and the entire church to Sean, so Shefanio was very used to it. When she communicates privately with Heatley now, she even encourages Heatley to sell herself to Sean many times, and of course glorified Sean as a god-like existence for this reason.

This is indeed not light for a little white flower like Heatley who is not deeply involved in the world and has a pious faith.

Therefore, after suddenly seeing Sean's appearance, Heatley obviously didn't know what to do, and just looked at Sean dumbfounded.

Shefanio on the side squinted at Heatley, but she was already laughing in her heart: "Old woman." I'm not bad at that. ”

"It's really well done." Eswinter and Shephanian are directly related, so what Shephaño sees and hears, Eswintert can naturally feel. Although she was threatened by Enkos and had to let the followers of the goddess of life promote the teachings and recruit believers in Sean's territory, it did not mean that she had to cooperate with this future saint who belonged to the Church of Life, at least drag this saint into the water or something, Ace Winter was still very happy to see.

Unlike Citri and Shephaneo, Cecilia was genuinely happy to see Sean's appearance.

Sean greeted Shephaneo first, then sat down next to Cecilia before turning his head to say hello to Heatley. It's just that. The latter's expression on his face really made Sean feel a little dazed, in Sean's memory, Heatley should not be such a person, after all, the last time Heatley was healing him, that decisive heroism. It really made Sean a little memorable.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started." It seems that there is a subtle change in the atmosphere in the conference room. William just glanced at Sean and Heatley. Then they made a decision, "Don't waste each other's time, after all, everyone's time is very valuable." ”

Hearing William's words, everyone in the conference room immediately quieted down, even Shefanio, who had pranks, had to be quiet immediately at this moment. Because of the relationship between the Ice and Snow and the Church of Winter and Sean. It can be said that it is a grasshopper tied to a rope, and whether it is the previous war with the Kiraf Territory or the Dai Territory, or the later actions in the Wild Lands, Shephaneo and Sean can be regarded as both born and dead. Naturally, there are some differences in feelings, so she has received a reminder from William before today, knowing what the main content of today's meeting is.

In fact, the only one who really didn't know anything about it was Heatley.

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be Heatley who is here today, but a diplomat sent by the Church of Life to stay here in Void City. However, William and Neil did not inform the diplomat of today's meeting, but asked him to come over and participate in the meeting under the pretext that "Heatley is the main person in charge of the future garrison of the territory" - whether it was a nobleman, a god, or someone else, it was just as cunning.

It was much easier to deal with Heatley, a pure little white flower, than with other priests, priests, and diplomats of the Church of Life.

"I would like to ask Miss Heatley, what kind of help can your Life Church give in the event of a war in the future?" William spoke very bluntly, without a hint of embarrassment at all.

Faced with William's direct opening statement, Heatley was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: "According to the agreement we negotiated with Archon Neal before......"

"No, no, no." William shook his head and interrupted Heatley strongly, "That's the agreement between your Life Church and Archon Neal on political affairs, and what we're about to discuss now is about the military affairs of the future realm." …… Government and military affairs, these are two concepts, Miss Seatley, can you understand that? ”

Heatley was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of what William meant.

As for the results of the previous negotiations between the head of diplomacy from the Church of Life and Neil, of course, Heatley also read it, after all, she was the head of the Church of Life who stayed in Panda Territory and even all Sean Territories later, not the head of diplomacy. According to that agreement, the Church of Life must pay a symbolic tax to Sean every year, in addition, after every war, the Church of Life must also be obliged to treat Sean's soldiers, of course, this refers to minor injuries, like Sean last time requires the help of divine grace to be able to heal, the Church of Life has the right to refuse.

But if these are administrative obligations, then what do military obligations mean?

"At this point, we don't really want to ask much." William saw that Heatley showed a somewhat confused look, he did not destroy the psychological shadow of the little white flower at all, and said very simply, "I only hope that you can be exactly the same as the promise given by the Church of Ice and Winter, and there will definitely be no stricter requirements than the Church of Ice and Winter, after all, if we can't treat everyone equally, it will really damage our reputation." ”

When he heard William say this with a smile on his face. Sean, who was still drinking tea, was directly scared and squirted, and Sean, who was choked by the tea, let out a series of violent coughs. This move immediately frightened Cecilia and Citri next to her, but compared to Citri, who was a little dazed, Cecilia, who was more intimate with Sean, immediately began to help Sean on the back as soon as possible.

Sean, who finally came to his senses, glanced up at William, but saw William's disgusted expression, and even Shefanio next to him had a look of "What's all the fuss?" You're still a man, why don't you have any courage at all".

Sean swallowed with some difficulty, he never thought that William would be so bold. Hit all the ideas on the goddess of life with powerful divine powers.

Others may not know, but William knows very well that the goddess of ice and snow and winter sold the entire church to Sean, which means that whether it is military or government affairs, Ace Winter must unconditionally support and protect Sean. And that's it. It is completely reflected in the current Church of Snow and Winter training a group of priests for Sean, according to Xuefanio's report a few days ago. It is likely that this group of priests will be able to participate in the upcoming war with the kingdom of Dabion.

Although William only asked Heatley to make military matters consistent with the Church of Ice and Winter. Not counting the political affairs, but once Heatley, the future saint representing the Church of Life, nodded in agreement, then it also means that once the official military operation, the Church of Life must also go to war with Sean's army. Even if this is not possible, at least it is necessary to ensure that Shaun's enemy forces are not treated and assisted in wartime.

In other words, once Heatley nodded. Then all enemies who go to war with Sean will not be able to get the assistance of the Life Church, and will only be able to get treatment after the battle.

Thinking of this, Sean glanced at Cecilia and Shephaneo, who looked very calm. Obviously, he had already been angry with William. Only Sean, who doesn't know anything, will choke on tea when he hears William's bold speech.

This is a conspiracy against the goddess of life.

It seemed that Sean's strong reaction caused Hittli to be wary, and she had a look of hesitation on her face, wondering whether she should agree to the matter. However, after thinking for a while, she still turned her head to look at Shephaneo and said softly, "Miss Xuefanio, can I ask about the Church of Snow and Winter and Sean. Did Sir Connelly have any military collaborations? ”

Heatley's use of formal diplomatic language means that she is taking the matter very seriously, at least in the interests of the Church of Life.

This attitude naturally caused William to give Sean a blank look again.

It's just that, with William's appearance, his white Sean glance does not make people feel unhappy or have any other expression, but has a unique style. It's just that this made Sean even more helpless and frightened, so he simply stopped looking at William, but turned his head to look at Heatley.

"It's nothing." Shefanio knew that if she didn't answer this question well, or if she was vague, then Citri would definitely refuse, so she wouldn't be able to drag Citteli into the water, so after thinking for a while, Shefanio replied, "It's just to go into battle with Sean's army when necessary." …… But most of the time, it's actually going out on adventures with Sean......"

Shephaño keenly noticed that when she said "adventure with Sean", Citri's eyes flashed, showing a strong interest.

“…… Like before, we went to the Savage Land together, and it was dangerous, but it was really fun. Shefanio smiled and continued, "Of course, this is under normal circumstances. …… However, if it is wartime, I will also be responsible for assisting Lord William in battle. After all, if Sean's territory is captured by the enemy, we will also lose the right to religious missions in that territory, so for this reason, I think the military assistance is actually bearable. ”

Sean glanced at Shephaño, he didn't expect that even a clergyman like Shephaño would lie—of course, it wasn't actually a lie, but it was just a trivial matter of many troublesome issues. At least in terms of military assistance, Shephaño only emphasized assisting in the war, and did not explain the situation in the event of a war, whether it was external aggression or internal defense of the Ice and Winter Church.

This is a kind of literal trap.

Heatley's brow furrowed slightly, apparently not yet decided.

Soon, Sefanio and William's eyes turned to Sean, and it was a moment for Sean to understand that he had to say something.

After thinking about it, Sean coughed lightly to attract Heatley's attention before he spoke, "Actually, I still wish you could stay here." Maybe I'm going to have a lot of trouble for you in the future, and I'm more familiar with you as a priest of the Living Church, so I think we should be friends anyway. ”

Hearing Sean say this, Heatley hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”

And almost as soon as Sheatley's words fell, William directly took out a document and handed it to Sheatley, with a gentle smile on his face: "I have prepared the agreement, you can just swear and sign it in the name of the goddess of life." ”

Seeing William's neat move, Sean couldn't help but be stunned again: when did this guy start to get the idea of Heatley, and even the contract has been prepared, will this move be too fast.

Of course, Heatley was a little skeptical of William's actions, but the content of this contract was not written much, only two or three pages, and many of the contents were actually negligible, and the truly valuable treaty was only one, that is, William said before that as long as the ice and snow and the Winter Church fulfilled the same obligations, there were no other text traps and contradictions at all.

But Heatley didn't know that the content of this treaty was the real biggest trap in the entire contract.

After making sure that nothing was wrong, Heatley did not hesitate to swear in the name of God and signed his name. (To be continued......)
