Chapter 503 The hero is sad about the beauty
Li Yu did not immediately respond to Cornelia's suggestion, but instead said, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor plans to build a giant bronze statue for the goddess of life?"
Cornelia seemed a little surprised when she heard this, but she still nodded, "The bronze statue is already under construction, and there is a new temple, not far from the King's Landing Tower. We can move from here after it is completed.
"The lords of the Western Region also contributed a lot and donated a lot of money. In addition to the Arias family, you also detained Greta."
"We did not detain her, she stayed voluntarily."
Cornelia said, "You forged a non-existent debt and took advantage of Greta's simple trustworthiness. This is no different from directly detaining her."
"And you asked her to use her army of rats to scare the lords of the Western Region and force them to donate money to Varria," Li Yu said, "This is no different from direct robbery."
"Those gold coins will only get moldy if kept in their warehouse. It's better to take them out and offer them to the goddess." Ludovich smiled.
"Anyway, Greta did have her army of rats attack the green fields," Cornelia continued.
"And she was caught by you by mistake. Since you didn't hurt her and she agreed to do things for you, I won't get involved in this matter, but you need to let Selena go.
"Although the Earth Bear is loyal to the church, he has a very bad temper. Even if I come forward, it will not be easy to convince him to give up revenge for his nephew. This is a fair deal."
"There's something I don't quite understand." Li Yu said, "Whose side are you on?"
"Huh?"
"You move between the emperor and the nobles like a fish in water, but you also teach children from poor families to read. In addition, I noticed that most of your followers are commoners and marginalized people like Greta. You give them blood The medicine changed their lives..."
"Life is equal to everyone." Cornelia said seriously.
"Is that so?"
Li Yu was noncommittal. After a pause, he finally turned the topic back to the duel between the Earth Bear and Ilea, "Is that big man from the Boleslaw family important to you?"
"The Bear of the Earth is the Shield of Thorns of the Church of Life. This title will only be awarded to the most powerful warrior, so to answer your question, yes, he is very important to me and is the guardian of the church and me."
"When I first came to the capital, some people were jealous and afraid of me. They regarded me as a threat and hoped to get rid of me through some small and unsightly means. That man is the reason why I can still stand here."
"Then you should persuade him to give up the next competition," Li Yu said, "especially not to fight with Ilea."
"If you just want to scare us, it's best to find a better target. I've investigated the female lord. She has never practiced any martial arts at all. She cannot be the opponent of the Earth Bear. I even doubt that she has even I couldn’t survive the first few rounds of competition.”
Cornelia said, "If you want to save her life, you should accept my deal."
"But don't the so-called gods make impossible things possible?" Li Yu said calmly.
The priestess frowned, "Are you really planning to let her face the Earth Bear? Judging from her reaction this morning, she will probably be so scared that she can't even lift her sword."
"Ilea is a fighter, stronger than many people give her credit for."
"Unfortunately, being strong does not play a big role in winning the competition. Moreover, her method has been used before. Although it is impressive, once she is prepared, she can easily break it."

Cornelia was still making her last attempt, "You are in the Western Region and I am in the Royal Capital. There is no need for us to be enemies. Moreover, what you said before about the Winged Men's upcoming invasion of the Bratis Continent, I have also said Heard something.
She looked around and lowered her voice slightly, "I got a piece of news about ten days ago. Even before you saw that winged guy in the Western Region, there were traces of them in the Elf Kingdom. There is reason to believe that they sent more than one spy.”
"But I haven't heard that there is a dragon raging over the elves." Li Yu said.
"This is even more worrying."
"What did His Majesty the Emperor say?"
"His Majesty will hold a royal meeting after the tournament to discuss this matter. Sir Ilea will also be invited to attend, provided she is still alive."
"I understand. I suggest that you find yourself a new guardian as soon as possible these days. Also, think about what you can exchange for that female assassin. Out of courtesy of being a guest in the royal capital, I will not harm her for the time being."
Li Yu's words made Ludovic's expression change slightly.
When Li Yu left the temple, he said to Cornelia, "Let me arrange a rescue to rescue people from that hotel, or directly ask the garrison to come forward."
The priestess shook her head, "That's too much noise. Your Majesty has been a little dissatisfied with me recently because of the Queen's affairs. If I touch Ilea at this time, he will be angry."
"I thought he hated his artistic wife."
"How could it be? He almost went to war with the elves in order to get Heloise, and almost forced the Elf King to marry his daughter to him. Although he has indeed become a lot colder towards the queen over the years, he has not Plan to change my wife.”
"It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty," Ludovich said, "I just hope he will not regret it in the future."
Cornelia did not continue the topic, but asked again, "What do you think of that Merlin?"
"Feeling a bit arrogant, he rejected your proposal, but when he was in the Western Region, he was able to make the Shuangxiu Sect thrive under the blockade of the Silver Moon Church, and he attracted many followers along the way. He should still be quite capable.< br>
"But if Ilea, whom he carefully cultivated, dies at the hands of the Earth Bear, the relationship between us will be a bit... delicate."
"I'm thinking now that maybe this isn't a bad thing. Although he is not the idealistic person I thought before and is unexpectedly calm, such a person should not be prone to getting carried away."
Cornelia's face showed a thoughtful look, "Without his biggest supporter, it will be a serious blow to him and his church, and it may even cause him to lose his only foothold in the Western Territory. place.
"If we are willing to lend a helping hand at that time, maybe we can recruit him."
"Just make your decision, I will obey your orders unconditionally." Ludovic bowed, his eyes looking at the priestess full of admiration. (End of chapter)
