Chapter 596 The Person in the Heart of the Great Saint (10,000)

Granville Kingdom.

It has only been a year or two since the disappearance of the last king of the kingdom, Holt 474, as if everything happened only yesterday, but now the kingdom has changed a lot.

At the beginning, some people still doubted that Dolores was just a woman, could she really control such a huge kingdom?

But soon, Dolores proved her strength with her absolutely ruthless means.

As soon as she ascended the throne, she immediately used the limited wealth in her hands to grasp the power of the army in the shortest time, and then used the army to quickly raze the aristocracy to the ground.

So far, there is no force that can threaten Dolores in the Kingdom of Granville.

Dolores also has two older brothers, the eldest prince and the second prince. Dolores did not kill them all, and even gave the princes the treatment they deserved, and even almost no daily supervision.

The two princes were obviously not the kind of people who were willing to live an honest life. After realizing that Dolores didn't care much about their affairs, they immediately felt that this was their chance to make a comeback.

The two of them joined forces and joined forces with the small nobles who had escaped the previous noble escape, gathered 3,000 private soldiers, and tried to assassinate Dolores when she inspected the royal city.

Unfortunately, these two idiots didn't know that all this was arranged by Dolores.

As soon as the 3,000 private soldiers appeared, they were immediately surrounded by a large number of soldiers disguised as civilians in the crowd. Dolores was protected by the Valkyrie Arianna and the Great Saint Christian. She didn't even suffer a little injury and directly suppressed the rebellion that was like a child's play.

As for the two princes, they would naturally be sent to the guillotine for rebellion.

Dolores even pleaded for her two brothers in the court, but naturally, some ministers rejected her request. In this way, Dolores not only did not have to bear the infamy of killing her brothers, but also gained a good reputation.

So far, the last opposition force in the kingdom has been eliminated.

That's not all. Dolores also issued a series of orders to improve the status and treatment of civilians, reduce taxes, and make the lives of civilians in the Kingdom of Granville better and better. The gap between the past and the present is so big that many civilians are afraid in their dreams, worrying that the good life they have now is just their own delusion when they wake up.

Dolores even selected many excellent and talented people from the civilians to fill the court and the army.

Today, Granville's political situation is clear, and the morale of the army is unprecedentedly high because of sufficient food and wages.

When facing the invasion of neighboring countries, not only did they directly expel all the invading soldiers of the enemy country within one day, but they also captured several cities in succession. Now the territory of the Kingdom of Granville has even expanded by one third.

That's not all. Many civilians in neighboring countries have also heard about Granville. There is no oppression from nobles, and civilians can have enough food and warm clothes. Almost every day, a large number of civilians sneak out and try to enter Granville.

Although several neighboring countries tried their best to stop them, they even hung the heads of civilians who tried to escape on the city walls, trying to use this method to stop the migration of civilians.

But this brutal and bloody method not only did not scare away these civilians, but made them more afraid and more eager to leave their hellish motherland.

And with the loss of a large number of civilians, the nobles have fewer and fewer objects to exploit. In order to maintain their extravagant lives, they can only desperately exploit the remaining civilians. Excessive exploitation has directly led to these civilians becoming more and more unable to survive and wanting to escape from their current difficult lives. This has almost entered a vicious circle.

For these civilians who are fleeing, Dolores accepts everyone.

No matter who it is, as long as they sincerely want to settle in Granville, Dolores will give them the status of civilians and make them citizens of Granville.

Dolores knows very well that in the Dusk Continent, population is definitely an important resource.

A country can only be truly powerful when its population reaches a certain level.

At the same time, constantly accepting civilians from other countries is also a serious weakening for the surrounding countries. Dolores even feels that as long as this continues, there is no need to start a war. As long as it persists for a few more years, the surrounding countries will naturally decline.

After a busy period at the beginning, as Granville gradually got on the right track, Dolores even gradually became idle.

In addition to Dolores, Christian is also idle.

As the great saint of the Dawn Goddess Church, Christian actually has a lot of things to deal with because there is a competitor like Vice Pope Apu.

Even if Christian does not take the initiative to find trouble, he must guard against Apu's various tricks. Now that Apu is dead, all the power of the entire Dawn Goddess Church has completely fallen into Christian's control.

Although he now has to manage the entire church, Christian's life is more leisurely after all the messy little actions are gone.

Although Dolores' power is getting stronger and stronger, because of the existence of Ron as a middleman, Dolores has not made any move to limit the influence of the Dawn Goddess Church. The two sides basically maintain a very good relationship. Even if there are some minor conflicts occasionally, they can often be resolved in a very peaceful way.

Christian even gradually gave up his power.

Except for some very special things that may be related to the future of the Dawn Goddess Church and determine the general direction of the church, Christian has not participated in the management of the church.

She has spent more time on her own practice, and her life is quite comfortable.

Of course, although Christian does not care about things, in the Dawn Goddess Church, Christian's status is like the ancestor of the Andre family, transcendent and respected.

If she doesn't speak, it's fine. Once she speaks, it's an imperial decree.

All the clergy in the church obey.

"Woo..."

The headquarters of the Dawn Goddess Church, under a big tree.

Christian's little mouth made a lazy, cat-like sound.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and stretched out her hands vigorously, as if she had really turned into a lazy golden cat, with a beautiful and plump body showing fascinating curves.

Christian is beautiful.

Perhaps, if we only compare the appearance, there are women in the Kingdom of Granville who are better than the Grand Saint, such as Her Majesty Queen Dolores and Miss Irelia, the White Saint.

However, if you match her hot but not too exaggerated figure, which is enough to make women all over the world envy her, Grand Saint Christian is definitely the first tier.

Her beautiful figure fully shows the charm of women.

Every move, every frown and every smile are breathtaking.

Everyone knows that Saint Christian was once married, and her husband was the former Vice Pope Apu... But the clergy in the church also know that nothing happened between the Saint and Vice Pope Apu. After all, on the wedding day, the Saint stepped on the two glass balls of Vice Pope Apu, making him no longer a complete man.

In other words, even after decades, the Saint's body is still pure and flawless.

The charm of a mature woman and the purity of a young girl are perfectly integrated in Saint Christian, which makes the Saint's charm even more exaggerated.

It seems that she is like a goblin who brings disaster to the country and the people. Just one look is enough to make any man feel that his soul is about to be hooked away.

What's more exaggerated is that this charm is even increasing day by day.

Like Her Majesty Queen Dolores, she is simply the goddess in the minds of countless men in Granville, and there are countless suitors.

Whether it is the clergy of the church, the ministers in the court, or even the powerful practitioners walking in Granville, as long as Christian appears, he can meet people who admire him no matter where he is, which makes Christian very annoyed.

Perhaps, it is for this reason that Christian will give up all the power in his hands and would rather stay in the church to practice than deal with those men who are like dog skin plasters.

Shaking his head, he drove away the confused feeling in his mind. His long golden hair swayed like waves. Under the sunlight, the thin hair was like a golden thread, emitting a dazzling light.

Christian's eyes gradually regained clarity.

She patted her head and felt a little annoyed.

It was too lax.

Although this is the headquarters of the Dawn Goddess Church, it is really wrong to fall asleep under the big tree.

Maybe it was because he had been living too peacefully in the recent period of time, so that he lost his vigilance.

But such days are really fascinating. Thinking about how he had been fighting with Apu to death before, Christian felt that he was stupid. What was the point of fighting for that little bit of power?

But...

Christian's eyelids drooped slightly, and a little loss flashed in his eyes.

But, sometimes he still felt a little lonely.

A figure quietly appeared in Christian's mind.

Subconsciously, she put a small hand on her chest. Whenever she thought of that person, Christian could feel the abnormal throbbing of her heart.

Christian exhaled slightly, she put down her small hand, and when she raised her head again, her vision had completely returned to normal. Her pretty cheeks had a warm, but faintly indifferent smile, and a clear sound of footsteps could be clearly heard in her ears.

A man in a high-level clergy robe was walking quickly from not far away.

It was Panagiotis!

An archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

A very talented clergyman in the church with good character and conduct.

Christian is ready to completely delegate power to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. As for the position of Pope, Virgil will probably take over.

It's not just because Ron and Virgil have a close relationship and are good brothers.

It's because of the ability Virgil himself has shown.

Virgil was originally just a bishop in Larnaca City, with a low status and not too strong, but he had his own opportunities. In Larnaca City, Virgil was one of the heroes who prevented the spread of the black beast and the young god.

At least one-third of Apu's death was due to Virgil.

He was Apu's most trusted subordinate, but he also pitted Apu the most.

Virgil also had his own opportunities. After coming to the headquarters, Virgil's strength improved rapidly, and now he is already a legendary practitioner.

In the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, if we only compare the strength, there are many people who can defeat Virgil besides Christian, but Christian cares more about Virgil's methods and his control over people's hearts.

Perhaps, no matter who he is in front of, Virgil always looks smiling. In the church, whether it is the believers below, the high-level archbishops, the nuns, or the gardeners, Virgil can maintain a very good relationship with them.

This is a kind of talent.

A person with a truly pure character cannot be the Pope.

Only people like Virgil can truly maintain the interests of the church.

Virgil is the Pope, and Panagiotis is the vice-pope prepared by Christian.

Panagiotis was originally an archbishop of the branch. He is very powerful, capable, good in character, and has a strong sense of justice.

Decades ago, he was exiled to a city on the border of the Kingdom of Granville because of the exclusion of some high-level officials in the church, but Panagiotis did not complain about it. Instead, he developed the faith of the goddess in this remote town. Even when the hostile country invaded, he led his clergy to join the war at the first time, and cooperated with the garrison on the border to expel all invaders.

Such a guy as the vice-pope can, to a certain extent, neutralize Virgil's meanness.

The two are good and evil. If they can cooperate well, it is enough to guarantee the glory of the Dawn Goddess Church for decades or even hundreds of years.

It's just...

When seeing Panagiotis, Christian couldn't help but frown slightly, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

Although this is a very good man, Christian is not very willing to see him...

Christian has not forgotten that when he just issued an order to transfer Panagiotis from the local area to the headquarters, when this man saw him for the first time, he didn't even care that there were many other clergymen around him, and he confessed to him directly.

Christian admitted that this was a very good man, especially compared with Apu, this man was simply the best, but she still rejected Panagiotis's confession at the first time without any hesitation.

It's a pity that this rejection is not very useful.

Panagiotis seems to have made up his mind that as long as Christian doesn't remarry, he still has a chance.

Faced with Panagiotis's almost fanatical pursuit, even Christian feels a headache.

As expected, when he saw Christian, the designated vice-pope had a burning look in his eyes, even though Virgil had secretly told him that the Saint had already had someone in his heart.

Moreover, that man was very good, far beyond his reach.

However, Panagiotis would not give up so easily. He believed that as long as he kept persisting, one day the Saint would be able to see his sincerity.

Thinking of this, Panagiotis straightened his chest and tried to make himself look more energetic.

When he was still a few meters away from Christian, Panagiotis just opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly found that Christian, who was sitting quietly under the tree trunk, suddenly brightened up with a pair of golden eyes.

On that beautiful face, first there was a flash of surprise and disbelief, followed by a touch of uncontrollable joy.

The next moment, Christian even took the initiative to sit up from the ground.

Seeing Christian's pretty face smiling slightly, Panagiotis felt a trance. The Saint was extremely beautiful, and when she smiled, she was like an angel, intoxicating.

Panagiotis felt that his heart in his chest was beating violently uncontrollably.

His throat moved involuntarily, and he couldn't help but have a very subtle thought in his heart:

Saint, is she smiling at me?

Could it be that after such a long pursuit, he finally touched the Saint's heart?

"You're here?"

A gentle voice came from Panagiotis's mouth.

Panagiotis felt that his body couldn't help but tremble. This was the first time Christian was so gentle to him. His face flushed instantly. Almost subconsciously, Panagiotis opened his mouth and was about to answer.

But at this moment, another voice suddenly came from behind.

"Well, I'm here."

Buzz.

Instantly, Panagiotis felt his entire brain go blank.

It was a man's voice.

It was a very unfamiliar voice. At least, he had never heard this voice during the time he stayed at the church headquarters.

Who was this person?

What kind of strength was this person, and why was he able to get close to him without him noticing?

The most important thing is, what is the relationship between this person and the Great Saint?

Panagiotis turned around suddenly and found that a tall figure had appeared behind him.

He was dressed in a snow-white robe, with black short hair, and he looked energetic and capable. He was tall and straight, and looked full of strength, but definitely not bloated.

He had a very handsome face, with a slightly warm smile on his face from beginning to end, and his black eyes silently stared at Christian.

Gulp.

Panagiotis' heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Christian. When he saw the beautiful eyes of the Great Saint, he felt his heart sinking.

Chapter 2 is here.
