The more the Holy King saw Ofina, the more he liked her, and he began to poach her: "Ofina, come to our Soul-Calling Holy Kingdom and become a saint. I guarantee you will be very happy."
The Holy King was different in poaching people. He didn't promise gold or silver, nor any special powers, nor did he say anything like "I'll give you what you want." Because he knew that for those who could examine the mind through the Phoenix, these things would be pale and powerless in front of her.
Ophina said: "Grandpa Holy King, I am very happy now."
"If you become a saint, then I guarantee that the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom will also bring happiness to your friends."
"Grandpa, it's better to rely on others to give you happiness than to strive for it yourself. We all have things we want to do, and we will work hard on our own."
The Holy King didn't know how to convince Ofina, and he also felt that what Ofina said made sense.
"Is it okay to use a name? You are just a saint in name of our Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom. The Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom will not have any restrictions on you, nor will it give you any orders, but the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom will be Your most solid backing will support you unconditionally.”
"Wow, so good?"
The Holy King said: "Of course, you are the person chosen by Divine Phoenix. If you were not too young, I could even give you the position of Holy King."
The Holy King is so sincere that Ofina can't refuse, and it's not a big deal to put her name on it, and there will be one more country to back her up, which is pretty good.
Ofina looked at Rogge: "Brother, do you think I can do it?"
Rogge said: "Nana, whatever you want, I will support you."
"Then I'll put my name on it?"
Rogge nodded towards Ofina.
The Holy King smiled happily, stroking his white beard and said: "Haha, then you are the saintess of my Soul-Calling Holy Kingdom. I will announce this when you leave the Secret Garden of Spiritual Beasts."
"Grandpa Holy King, what is the status of Holy Girl?" Rogge asked.
The Holy King replied: "The status of the Holy Woman is the same as that of the Holy Son, second only to the Holy King, and higher than the status of the twelve saints in our country. The Holy Woman assists the Holy King in managing the country and will accept The orders of the Holy King handle matters large and small. There is only one current saint in our Holy Spirit-Calling Kingdom, and she is my granddaughter. She was almost abducted by a brat from your empire a few years ago."
"The saint has great power. She can mobilize and command the army, participate in holy meetings to influence national decisions, have her own exclusive knighthood, etc. Moreover, the saint's treatment is very good. The treasury is completely open to the saint, and various resources can be withdrawn at will. You can also enjoy the respect and love of people across the country.”
"When you become a registered saint in the future, you will be able to enjoy all other powers except mobilizing the army on a large scale to launch wars. I will not give you any orders. You can just do what you want to do."
Rogge completely understood that the Holy King was doing this for the sake of Jiucai Shenhuang, and was simply giving benefits to Ophina without asking for anything in return. Of course, with this relationship, when the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom is in trouble and needs help in the future, Ofina will not sit idly by and do nothing. Maybe what Ofina wants to do at that time is to help the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom.
Overall, I got a big advantage this time.
Rogge quickly picked up Ophina and bowed to the handsome old man Holy King: "Thank you Holy King."
"Haha, you're welcome. I was afraid the little girl wouldn't agree."
"Grandpa Holy King, who was that brat who almost abducted your granddaughter?" Ofina sat down and asked, she liked to hear gossip stories the most.
The Holy King snorted coldly and said: "Hmph! Just thinking about it makes me angry. That brat is the eldest son of the Yanyang family of your empire. He is not bad, but he refuses to come to my Soul Summoning Holy Kingdom and insists on abducting my granddaughter. He went home, but in the end he was scolded and driven away by me."
"Why did I hear my brother say that you begged him for a long time before he agreed to let your granddaughter go?"
A clear and pleasant voice came from behind the Holy King. The Holy King was so happy and angry that he didn't notice anyone coming behind him. He turned around to see who was spreading rumors.
The Holy King only saw a girl who was more beautiful than his granddaughter. She had black hair and red clothes. She was slim and looked a bit like that brat.
Philiya saluted the Holy King and said, "Filia, from the Yanyang Family of the Nalan Empire, pays tribute to you."
The Holy King replied: "It turns out she is the sister of that brat. I have long heard him brag that his sister is the most beautiful in the world. Now look at her, she is still a little worse than my granddaughter."
Filia smiled and said, "Yes, my sister-in-law is the most beautiful."
The Holy King was furious: "What sister-in-law?! Did I agree?! A few years ago, my granddaughter was so young, about the same age as you, and your brother actually..."
Filia: "Brother, what happened to her?"
The Holy King said angrily: "Your brother actually held her hand. It's really too much!"
Filia: "...Is it okay to hold hands?"
The Holy King was angry again: "What do you mean it's okay? Can my granddaughter hold her hand casually? That brat is shameless and irresponsible when he holds her hand. It really pisses me off."
Ofina, who had just gained a bargain, comforted the Holy King and said: "Grandpa Holy King, don't be angry. Your granddaughter was saved in the end. If you are really angry, doesn't the Holy Kingdom of Summoning Spirits have a Holy Son? Let him seduce Filia. It would be better if I didn’t sister.”
When the Holy King heard this, he felt that it made sense. If he could retaliate in the same way, it would be a great relief.
Seeing that the Holy King was moved, Rogge quickly said: "It's not good for the Holy King to be like this. Please take a closer look at Philiya. If you let the Holy Son come, you will never come back."
The Holy King said to himself: "That's not necessarily true. My boy looks like me and is very handsome. I should let him try it."
Rogge:......
The Holy King looked at Ofina again and made up his mind.
It was getting late now, and the Holy King had been out for some time, so he said goodbye: "Okay, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I will go back first."
Rogge hesitated to speak, but followed Ophina and Filia to say goodbye to the Holy King.
When the Holy King walked away, Ofina said to Rogge: "Brother, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry first. Sister Philiya will definitely not be abducted. She is reluctant to leave us. If you don't believe me, just ask ask her."
Rogge really asked: "Filia, right?"
Filia smiled and said: "Yes, let's go Nana, go take a shower."
"Okay."
…
The Holy King immediately summoned the Holy Son after returning to the Holy King's Palace.
"Grandpa, did you go to see the Divine Phoenix approver in person? Has she agreed to become a saint?" asked the Holy Son, who indeed looked very similar to the Holy King.
"I agree to become a titular saint. That girl is very outstanding and will not be bound by the Holy Kingdom of Souls. I believe that the Nalan Empire will not be able to keep her in the future. She belongs to this world, not to any country." The way of the Holy King.
"Then do I still need to contact her?"
The Holy King said: "Yes, you must go. Love may be able to make her stay, you go and try. Also, the sister of the brat from the Yanyang family who wants to kidnap your sister is also here, and you should also contact her. Let’s see if we can turn her over.”
The Holy Son was speechless. He summoned him just to use a beauty trick, but he still listened to his grandfather's words: "Yes, grandpa."
The Holy King remembered what Rogge said before leaving, and just in case, he said: "Emil, remember to control yourself, don't be like your sister."
Saint Emil asked in surprise: "Are they really that beautiful?"
The Holy King said: "It's not a question of whether they are beautiful or not. It's that rare temperament that makes people want to get close. In short, you must control yourself."
"I understand, Grandpa." Emil nodded, but in his heart he wanted to see Ofina and Filia as soon as possible.
…
The day after the training, diplomats from the Holy Spirit-Calling Kingdom led the people from the empire to the largest arena in the Holy City.
This arena is mostly used for exhibition games for the people on weekdays. Every game held by the flag is overcrowded and very popular.
The Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom chose this venue so that, firstly, the large number of spectators could show that they attached enough importance to this cooperation with the Nalan Empire, and secondly, they could earn a lot of income.
The auditorium in the arena was packed, and the Holy King was present in person, sitting in the VIP seat in the middle.
After meeting the Holy King, Earl Dick, the captain of the imperial team, sat on the right hand of the Holy King. Several teachers who led the team from the academy also sat in the VIP seats.
Everyone in Rogge's team was sitting in the spectator seats specially reserved for the Empire by the Holy Kingdom of Spirits. Among the students were seniors who were several years older than them, and it was not yet his team's turn to play.
The friendly exchanges between the two countries are divided into two parts. One part is the exchange between students and the other part is the competition between soldiers and soldiers.
Discussions among students took the lead.
The students sent by the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom and the Nalan Empire were all in their twenties or three years. The students from the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom were from the Soul Summoning Academy, and the students from the Nalan Empire were from Charles College.
The college is directly named after "Calling Spirits", and it is the best college in the Holy Kingdom of Summoning Spirits. Its status is the same as that of Charles College in the empire. The best young spiritual summoners from the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom are gathered in the Spirit Summoning Academy, and they are full of talents.
The young spiritual summoner who came on stage at this time had already summoned his own spiritual beast, which was a powerful earth-shaking beast. The two horns on the head of the bull were huge and sharp, and the muscles on the bull's body were full of strength.
The Earthshaker is a bull-shaped spiritual beast. Not only is it physically strong and strong, but it can also use earth magic, and is somewhat similar to the Earth Dragon.
The student from the Nalan Empire was a young swordsman. One man and one sword were present. He was a little less imposing and more chic than the man and beast opposite him.
After the players are ready, the referee loudly announces the start of the competition.
The young swordsman had never fought a spiritual summoner before, so he was more conservative. He raised his sword and waited on the spot. The Spirit Summoner communicates with his own spirit beast, the Earthshaker, and releases the second-level earth magic, Earth-shattering spikes.
The young swordsman seemed to feel something and moved sideways. The Earthshaker also reacted quickly, chasing the swordsman with its earth-shattering spikes.
The earth-shattering spikes were so fast that the swordsman could not avoid them by running. He leaped high and used a charging slash to quickly approach the spiritual summoner. The Earthshaker looks thick-skinned and powerful, but it is easier for the Spirit Summoner to break through.
It is easier for spirit beasts to sign spiritual contracts with humans of the same type. This spirit summoner is also an earth magician. He put his hands together, and a high earth wall appeared between him and the swordsman. Seeing that he could not get closer, the swordsman had no choice but to kick the wall and roll backwards.
While releasing the Earth Wall Technique, the Spirit Summoner communicated with the Earthshaker to prepare to release another second-level earth magic quagmire trap. At this time, the young swordsman used up all the energy in one breath, and his body was still in the air. The landing point was for Tongzhi. It is not difficult to judge for a level Earth-shaking beast.
The Earthshaker accurately released a mire trap at the swordsman's landing point. The swordsman was unable to dodge and fell into the trap, half of his body being submerged in the mire.
Before the swordsman could pull himself out of the quagmire, the sharp horns were already in front of his eyes, and he lost.
