C85 Secret

"Hmm. . . The last force is also the weirdest. The reason why it is strange is because this force makes women envious, but at the same time, it also makes men feel pity for it. . . " Ao Bing replied without hesitation.

Lee Xiang replied with great interest.

"With the goddess' high and mighty attitude, she will naturally need some servants. You also know that the church is the only representative of the so-called goddess in the entire continent, so these servants will naturally be chosen by them. . . "

Ao Bing's expression of disdain caused Lee Xiang's heart to move slightly. He immediately guessed what it should be.

"Could these servants be the so-called Sister?" Lee Xiang asked directly.

"That's right!" Ao Bing nodded. "Strictly speaking, it should be Holy Maiden. She is the most outstanding female among all the female cultivators, and then Holy Maiden, who is in charge of all the female cultivators!"

"But as far as I know, they have only dedicated their bodies and souls to the goddess for the rest of their lives. Other than that, there is no other use. Don't you think this is a bit too much of an exaggeration?" Lee Xiang asked.

"In fact, many people think that the nun is just a servant of the goddess, and it is also because they are the servants of the goddess. So they must never marry, and give their bodies to the Goddess. That is why they are envied by the woman and the pity of the man. In fact, after so many years, the nun had indeed not been of any use at all. But according to my guess, the real situation isn't like this. . . " Ao Bing nodded.

"That is to say, these are just your guesses!" Lee Xiang found it funny. This Ao Bing was too suspicious. He was even more cautious than Lee Xiang.

"Yes, this is indeed my guess. . . " Ao Bing smiled bitterly. "But my guess also has my basis! Besides, Do you think that women must be like those so-called priests or holy knights in the church to play a decisive role? Don't forget that there are many fatal weapons for women, tears, beautiful faces. . . "

Lee Xiang nodded. To be honest, he now started to look at Ao Bing in a new light. He had already overestimated Ao Bing, but he did not expect Ao Bing to be such an amazing sage. To be able to connect all these dots from this point, he had indeed underestimated him. Furthermore, they had been wandering around the continent for several hundred years. In that long period of time, there was still a bit of value in coming up with something.

"You mean that the Church will use the beauty of these sisters to seduce some of the upper class nobles?" Lee Xiang secretly sighed. It seemed that if there were women in this place, this beauty trap would always be a very useful method. He had to admit that this trick of the Church was quite brilliant.

"That's right, there is a precedent!" Ao Bing nodded. "More than 300 years ago, there was a peerless beauty in Reiss Empire. This woman was Holy Maiden of the church. At that time, the monarch of Reiss Empire was fascinated by this woman. And I have seen this woman once. To be honest, I still remember her face very clearly until today. I am even sure that I will not forget the smile in her eyes until the day I die. . . "

Ao Bing's expression was a little absent-minded at this moment. Clearly, the expression of that woman had already appeared in his mind.

Seeing his expression, Lee Xiang laughed. He patted Ao Bing's shoulder and half-jokingly and half-seriously smiled. "Brother, you seem to have forgotten that you are a dragon. Dragons cannot marry humans. . . "

"Who told you that Dragon Clan cannot marry humans?" Ao Bing asked back. "You have to know that as long as our Dragon Clan has cultivated to the seventh grade, we can transform into human form. This is something that none of the Magical Beast can compare with. This is an advantage. . . "

Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. What a joke! Was there a human who was willing to marry the evil Dragon Clan?

"But. . . But your Dragon Clan doesn't seem to allow such a thing to happen, right? After all, you have to maintain the purity of your bloodline, right?"

"But they didn't say that they won't allow this, right?" Ao Bing retorted.

Lee Xiang felt helpless. It seemed like this kid had really fallen in love with that woman. He found it funny when he thought about it. Originally, they were discussing the issue of the Church, but in the end, they actually talked about the topic of women. It was really the nature of men. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Look at you. This woman is really beautiful. What does she look like? Can you describe it to me?"

Ao Bing smiled bitterly. "This woman's name is Sophia. Have you never heard of her? Speaking of which, she should be related to you. . . "

"You're talking about Empress Sophia from Reiss Empire?!" Lee Xiang was moved. Speaking of which, this woman was indeed related to him. Because she was also a member of the Rinker family, just like Lee Xiang himself. In other words, Sophia was his great-great-great-aunt based on seniority. Lee Xiang did not think that it was her before because Ao Bing had mentioned that this woman was Holy Maiden from the church. Who would have thought that it would be her?

Speaking of which, Sophia was definitely a strange woman in the Empire and even the entire Osman Continent. If the stories about her were to be told according to the folk's wild history, it would definitely take a few days and nights to finish. However, all the history books in Reiss Empire had only been given to her once. It was so simple that it was unbelievable. What was most difficult to understand was that up until now, there was not even a complete portrait of her in the imperial palace. It must be known that the Empire had kept all the portraits of the Empress for so many years, but there was only one of them that didn't have her. . . And the most puzzling thing about the whole thing was that it was said that the Emperor had doted on her very much, and even after having her, he no longer doted on any other concubines. But she actually didn't leave any descendants behind?

Speaking of which, there was a rather coincidental thing about Sofia becoming the Empress. Three hundred years ago, it happened to be the time when the Rinker family's successor, Richard III, abandoned them because they strongly admonished the king for massacring and cleansing the lower races. It was because of Sofia's appearance that the Rinker family had once again ascended to the peak of the Empire's power.

In other words, the Rinker family had used a woman from their own family to gain the trust of the Sovereign. If it was really as Ao Bing said, Sophia was Holy Maiden of the Church, then it meant that the Rinker family had a tacit understanding with the Church. And according to the attitude of the royal family towards Sophia, Obviously, they had also discovered this point, but they did not want to have a conflict with the Holy See because of this matter. Thus, they tried their best to keep a low profile. There might even be some other factors in this. Otherwise, just Holy Maiden's identity alone would not need to treat the Empress who had a great reputation in the entire Osman Continent like this. It was obvious that there was something else hidden behind this.

Thinking of this, Lee Xiang sighed sadly. He didn't expect to hear a piece of ancient secret about the Rinker family for no reason. Although he had been completely excluded by the Rinker family, Lee Xiang still couldn't help being concerned about this matter. He just didn't know if the Rinker family still had any connections with the church.

As for Sophia's beauty, the entire continent was talking about it. They even regarded her as the smartest and most beautiful woman in the history of Osman Continent. Until today, no woman could surpass her!

"The goddess gave her angelic face, but forgot to give her angel wings!!" Ao Bing sighed slightly. "This is not my evaluation of Sophia's beauty. This is the warning that the Sovereign of Reiss Empire gave to his son before he died! From this, it can be seen that there are many hidden secrets, but unfortunately, I don't know. . . "

Lee Xiang nodded his head. Indeed, there must be a lot of secrets behind this. Otherwise, the problem wouldn't be so complicated. Sighing slightly, Lee Xiang said, "I have a question. Since Sophia is Holy Maiden, why can she get married? Didn't they say that they have already given their bodies to their goddess? "

"I can't answer this question!" Ao Bing smiled bitterly, "But I can be sure that she is Holy Maiden from the church. If you really want to know, I suggest you go and look at the records of the church or the records of royal family. There must be some shocking discoveries. . . "

Lee Xiang felt helpless. No matter what, after hearing these things today, he was satisfied. To be honest, he had been very curious about Sofia's matter in the past. Today, he had finally found out a little bit about it. Although he didn't know whether it was right or not, he still managed to slightly resolve the doubts that he had been feeling all this while.

Lee Xiang had a bad feeling in his heart. Instinct told him that these things would happen again in the future. And there would be even more shocking discoveries. It might even be related to the series of unimaginable things that he had recently experienced. So to be honest, he was actually looking forward to this day coming all of a sudden.

"Alright, I think the black robed mage of the Vatican must be impatient. It has never been my style to make a guest wait!" Lee Xiang changed the topic and chuckled.

"You still decided to go out with him. Don't you worry that he has ulterior motives?" Ao Bing was slightly startled, and he instantly woke up from his daze.

"If I don't go, how would I know what his intentions are?" Lee Xiang asked back. "Do you want to go with me?"

"Of course!" Ao Bing nodded without hesitation.

"Then let's go and see if the Church is as powerful as we imagined!" Lee Xiang laughed and took the lead to walk out.
