Chapter 373 Restraint and Containment (Page 1/1)

The day after the election of heirs, the Twilight Knights camp in the Holy Guard.

Todd took a sip of the mead in his hand and said to Tristan in front of him: "You mean, does the church plan to withdraw from this city?"

Tristan shrugged with a smile: "After yesterday's election turmoil, the church has become the target of public criticism, and there is no reason to stay."

Todd nodded, then changed the conversation: "I want to thank you."

Todd's words made Tristan stunned: "Thank me? For what?"

"Matide’s evidence, without your help to collect it, we could not have prepared it so quickly."

Tristan waved his hand indifferently: "It's all trivial things, besides, I think that guy is not pleasing to the eye."

Todd looked at the church deacon with a smile: "Tristan, don't blame me for being abrupt, but have you considered leaving the church and joining Twilight and becoming my staff?"

Tristan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "With all due respect, why did you invite me? I'm just a little deacon who studies scriptures and runs errands for others."

"You and I are a bit like in some ways." Todd put the wine glass on the table and looked at Tristan very seriously: "As you can see, the church today is dominated by corruption and chaos. I hope to be able to Initiate a reform to reform the entire Christianity."

Tristan was a little frightened by Todd's words: "Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about?!"

Todd nodded: "I naturally understand what I'm going to do. To others, it is no different from idiotic dreams. However, I am sure I can complete this reform. What I lack now is a theologian who is proficient in the scriptures. In my opinion, you are very suitable, how about it? Are you interested in coming to West Side?"

Tristan thought for a long time, and finally gave an answer that disappointed Todd.

"Sorry, I don't intend to leave the church, at least not now..."

Todd sat back in the chair, looked at the determination on Tristan's face, and asked calmly, "Can I ask the reason?"

"Because my master Abel..."

Todd repeated the familiar name and said, "If I remember correctly, Abel should be the cardinal of the church. He organized several evacuation of scholars from the Papal State?"

"Yes." Tristan said excitedly: "Master Abel is one of the few people in the church with a conscience. Not only is he proficient in theology, he is also an expert in ordinary academic subjects!"

Todd pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Why a person with such a conscience is willing to stay in the church because he doesn't give up his power?"

Tristan said loudly: "Absolutely not! Lord Abel is more concerned about believers and justice than power!"

Todd looked at the other person's indisputable appearance, shook his head and chuckled lightly: "Since you have made up your mind, then I can't persuade you anymore."

Seeing Tristan disappear into his sight, Todd leaned his back to the back and sighed softly.

"Frustrated so soon?"

A soft voice came from behind Todd, he didn't even need to turn around, he knew who came.

"Everyone has ambitions, it is not convenient to force it."

Rachel came from behind Todd, lifted his head slightly, and pressed his temple with his thumb and index finger.

Todd let out a long sigh of relief.

"The throne of Holy Acropolis has been settled, how do you plan to control the situation here next?"

Rachel's words made Todd frowned, and the latter asked, "Control the situation? What does this mean?"

Rachel walked up to Todd, sat in his arms, and whispered, "You should know who I am referring to."

"Mary, the new queen of the Holy Acropolis? What happened to her?"

Rachel touched Todd's hair lightly, and his voice was barely audible: "I don't believe her."

Todd gave Rachel a puzzled look.

"She used to be the Queen of the Silver Ring, and now she has become the Queen of the Saint Guards. Don't you worry that she will sink into a game of power? Meditate and stand on her own among the West Side and other forces?"

Todd smiled and shook his head: "Mary didn't want to participate in the contest for the throne of the Saint Guard. She mentioned to me more than once. She prefers to stay in the room and do design work rather than being in a high position. I have repeatedly persuaded her. After her..."

"Your Majesty, people will change. What's more, Mary, who is a alien species, always keeps a distance from alien affairs." Rachel said while thinking about it: "The Holy Guard is the kingdom of Muxi against foreign enemies in the future. Military barriers, for such a person to control the city, there will be a series of uncertainties."

Todd was silent for a while, and then asked: "So in your opinion, how should Twilight West control the situation here?"

"There are many ways, but the crux of the problem lies on Mary~lightnovelpub.net~Rachell stretched out a finger: "If we can get some of her handles, then she will not be harmful to us , There will be some scruples. "

Todd has a bad feeling: "What do you mean by the handle?"

"Her life experience, her alien identity, are the main points we can use."

Todd rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Rachel, sometimes, do you think the problem is too complicated?"

Rachel's eyes widened: "Complex?"

"The relationship between people is not necessarily bound by threats and restraints. Sometimes, it is appropriate to establish a peaceful relationship, which is not necessarily a bad thing for each other."

After hearing Todd’s words, Rachel bent down and kissed the other’s lips gently: "Look, this is the difference between you and me. You trust your partner and believe that sincerity can be used to exchange loyalty; but I don’t Similarly, in my eyes, all people have the potential for betrayal. The only reason for not doing that is because of insufficient chips."

Todd sighed lightly, hugged Rachel and asked, "So what about us? We have experienced life and death together. Even so, do we still have to use restraints to maintain our relationship?"

Rachel smiled and shook his head, and buried his head in Todd's chest: "For me, you are special."

Todd touched Rachel's hair lightly, and whispered, "I will find a time to talk to her about Mary. Before that, I don't want to see any extraneous behavior..."

"Um."

Rachel, who nestled on Todd's chest like a kitten, expressed his consent to restrain his behavior with a low nasal sound.

But what Todd could not see was that Rachel's eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions.
