"Exactly!"

Serena returned to her usual frivolous smile.

"My intelligence network told me that from the south to the north, there are now legends of the saint Aurora. Everyone says that the saint Aurora is kind and intelligent, courageous and strong, and has set a good example for the younger generation of St. What a great example!"

Hearing this, Aurora's face blushed suddenly, and her brows were inevitably a little happy.

Who doesn't like to hear these compliments, especially when they come from the mouth of someone you like, it's even more joyful.

But a few seconds later, Aurora felt something was wrong, and asked:

"Wait, what did I do to make people say that? Apart from investigating and punishing a few cheaters, I don't seem to have done anything that will be known by the public?"

Serena touched her chin, revealing an expression of reminiscence.

"Let me think about it. One, when the plague broke out in West County, you asked the archdiocese to support a large number of people in time and control the epidemic;"

"One, you used your superb swordsmanship to convince Knight Commander Raffle; the other is that you drank more than 20 alcoholics and set a new record..."

The more Aurora heard it, the more she felt that something was wrong. In the end, she shouted even more angrily:

"Wait, I didn't do any of these things, did I? The plague incident was originally a cover-up. You were the one who defeated Knight Commander Raffle, and you were the one who got drunk!"

"If it's because of such a good reputation, then I'd rather not have it!"

Seeing that Aurora was really angry, Serena quickly walked to her side, hugged her, and whispered to Aurora's ear:

"Don't, no matter how you got your reputation, don't deny it."

"There are countless heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, and every bit of help is valuable and necessary."

Seeing Aurora's expression loosen, Serena comforted her with a soft voice:

"Besides, what I do is what you do, which one of us is with whom... Oh, the one who drank the drunk is actually Katerina. As your follower, hers is yours, right?"

Aurora's expression became more relaxed, and she nodded subconsciously.

"Very well, then be happy and do what you need to do! Goodbye, I have to see your teacher~"

Seeing Serena drifting away, Aurora smirked unconsciously, and waved her hand instinctively.

It wasn't until Serena's figure completely disappeared that she realized that something seemed wrong.

"Wait! I seem to have been led by her just now, and I didn't even bother to punish her for stealing food in front of me!"

…………

Serena, who escaped unharmed, had already entered the study of the Pope.

This time, the Pope had obviously been waiting for a while.

Seeing Serena come in, the Pope immediately smiled and gestured to the high-back chair in front of his desk, motioning for her to take a seat.

"Sit down, Serena, today's matter may be a bit complicated, let me try to be as concise as possible."

Serena nodded, and sat there obediently in a ladylike posture, waiting for the Pope to speak.

"Your proposal was officially passed at yesterday's meeting."

"Of course, there are many games and compromises. The final text is here. You can read it slowly when you go back."

"Now, what I'm going to say is the part you need to do..."

According to the Pope, although Serena's proposal was passed, the part about monitoring the speech and movements of key figures was deleted as a whole.

What remains intact is only the part that established the defense and quick response teams.

Under the Pope's insistence, the command of this force was not included in the work domain of the Grand Knight Commander, but remained in the hands of the Chief Holy Maiden, so as to ensure that the operation could be quickly authorized.

As long as the chief saintess feels that an important figure in the church is in danger of life, she can dispatch this force to protect it either explicitly or covertly.

And when an emergency arises, the chief saint only needs to obtain the Pope's permission before she can arrange for troops to intervene.

As a limit, the number of this force must be strictly controlled at double digits, and the entire process of the operation must be recorded and filed for review and judgment by the Council of Cardinals.

"...Theoretically speaking, Ingrid should be the one who completed the formation of the troops. But you also know that she doesn't know anything about these things, and she can only say that she doesn't understand them at all."

"In addition, she has already stated that she will hand over the position of the chief saint to you within this year, so I will come to you directly."

To be honest, compared to the matter of this army, the Pope's last words surprised Serena even more.

She did know that Ingrid wanted to hand over the position to her, but when exactly, she still had no definite news.

As for these restrictions imposed by the Council of Cardinals, they are not worth mentioning to Serena.

The limit on the number of people and funds is equivalent to no limit for her.

She can raise the money herself, and she can even ask Margaret for some directly;

In terms of people, compared with a large number of ordinary sergeants, it is obvious that the "high-quality talents" she knows are more suitable to fill in!

While Serena was thinking about this, the Pope had already said some extra words of his own.

"Actually, it's not impossible to do the spying things you want to do. You can make some arrangements carefully and then tell me. As long as possible, I will incorporate these things into the normal affairs of the church."

"You don't have to worry too much about the money issue. I still have some deposits here. Well, this is the key to my vault in the Marconia Bank. You can take it at any time according to the situation..."

oh?There is actually the Pope's personal funding?

Hearing this, Serena accepted the small silver key with a happy face, and patted her chest to promise:

"Don't worry, I promise to do my best, just wait for my good news!"

Chapter 31 Serena's Plan

"Well, this part should be equipped with ten... No, maybe fifteen more [~-

After returning to the residence, Serena began to sit at the desk and think hard.

Meredith, who had just finished teaching Aphra and the others, passed by the study and saw that Serena was actually working seriously again, so she immediately became curious.

'Which one is going to be in trouble this time? '

With this in mind, she walked into the room, stood beside Serena and quietly read the handwriting on the paper.

After a few minutes, she frowned.

Fifteen succubi, this is already not enough to add up the succubi whose names Meredith knows.

And this number of succubi is even enough to completely subvert a small country.

What did Serena do?

Considering the various misunderstandings before, Meredith finally chose to get straight to the point and asked directly:

"Serina, what are you going to do? Why are you recruiting fifteen succubi?"

"Of course it is the executor force that fills the church's needs!"

Serena replied confidently.

Meredith suddenly felt dizzy.

Wait, can the terms succubus and church executor be connected with fillers?

If she remembered correctly, one of the important tasks of the church executors a hundred years ago was to identify and hunt succubi.

Even if the succubus has become less and less common these years, and the executor no longer regards this job as his main job, it doesn't mean that the executor will not kill the succubus when he sees it?

Meredith, therefore, immediately after falling silent, asked again:

"Which executor unit needs succubus filling? Are you going to serve as the executor of the Tribunal? But even then, your subordinates will not accept succubus colleagues!"

"Of course not."

Serena finally raised her head and looked at Meredith with strange eyes.

"You know this, it's the proposal I gave to the teacher before, to set up a quick response force to undertake the task of protecting important people and targeted killing."

"Now, this proposal has been passed, and the commander has been appointed as me by default—aren't the church's non-military troops called executors? I'm building my own team."

At this moment, Meredith finally stabilized her soul in her body.

That's true, Serena's proposal, Meredith helped polish it, and now it's passed, she also thinks it's very good.

But can it really be taken for granted that putting the succubus into it?

"Serina, do you want to think about it again? Even if you are the commander, you still need to be responsible to your superiors. If your superiors come to inspect your side, and then see a whole barracks full of demons, undead, etc. , what would she think?"

"Of course it's fantastic!"

Serena replied confidently.

Seeing Meredith showing signs of losing her mind again, she hastily added:

"The direct superior of this army is the chief saint, and the chief saint is one of the highest positions in the church, and there is no superior. So..."

"That's not right? Your Excellency Ingrid can tolerate you, but it doesn't mean she can tolerate a nest of succubus?"

Meredith's voice rose high.

Although Serena has succubus blood, her position is still on the human side. With this premise, even if Ingrid finds out that her disciple has a blood problem, nothing will happen.

But those succubi are demons through and through, and they don't have the belief of guarding human beings at all.

Seeing this kind of thing, Ingrid is already blessed by Saint Gillian if she can not use magic bombing...

"Ah, there's nothing wrong with the teacher. When the formation of the army is completed, I should be the chief saint. I must only say good things to my own army."

Serena's tone was casual, but Meredith was in a daze when she heard it.

Serena said that, which meant that the matter must have been decided.

And this means that Serena, as a semi-succubus, has climbed to the highest point of the Church of St. Gillian, the largest sect of mankind, in just a few years.

This world is really crazy...

While Meredith was in a trance, Serena suddenly pushed her.

"Hey, I'm asking you, do you know any reliable vampires?"

Meredith woke up with a start.

After she reconfirmed Serena's needs, she really realized that Serena really wanted to stuff a few vampires into the church's executors.

"Uh……"

Meredith knew that she would not be able to escape.

But other vampires...

"To be honest, I do know a few vampire hiding places, but they are reliable or not, and I can't make any guarantees at all."

There are not many vampires who are kind and self-sealed like her. Most vampires can be considered kind if they can try not to kill people while hunting for food.

And vampires' reputation among the people is even worse than that of succubus - after all, the latter looks much better-looking, which naturally creates a huge gap between them and humans.

"That's it."

Serena didn't take it seriously, she pondered for a moment and wrote a few words.

"Then it's time to consider recruiting volunteers to become your blood servants."

"Eh?"

Meredith suddenly became excited.

"Wait, I didn't intend to create a blood servant. Essentially, it's killing a person and turning him into a monster. This kind of thing is against my rules..."

"Essentially speaking, many people would rather die and become monsters, but also complete their goals."

Serena looked at Meredith a little angrily.

"Your principles are not worth mentioning in the eyes of those people. They don't mind being killed by you, sucked blood by you, etc. For such an existence, you have no reason to hold a burden on your conscience."

"Turning them into vampires is helping them—you'll see that soon enough."

Meredith choked.

In fact, she understands this truth.

But she really didn't want to cause such a sad thing to happen by herself.

Besides, moral hazard aside, there are other issues here.
