Perseus was well aware of his situation.
Don't underestimate him in the eyes of the world. He is the leader of the Holy Knights with a noble status and has been favored by the King of Angels. He is also the prince charming in the hearts of countless girls.
But in fact, he himself knew very well that he was just a puppet thrown out by the Pope and the Emperor of the Holy Empire.
The purpose is to make more people yearn for it.
And he couldn't resist because his family was also in the imperial capital. Although he was a puppet now, he was still treated well. At least the Pope would bless him every once in a while in order to maintain his strength.
But as time went on, Perseus discovered that the Pope and the Emperor had chosen a woman for him to start a family in order to control him.
Perseus could tolerate being manipulated by others on a daily basis, but he would never allow it if even his marriage was manipulated.
Therefore, he thought of resistance at the first moment.
At first, he planned to seduce Melena, who was favored by the King of Angels.
Unfortunately, Melina has been living in the Holy Cathedral, and he rarely sees her even on weekdays.
Finally, a few days ago, a summoner of a ten-winged angel appeared.
After learning the news, Perseus immediately collected information about Iris.
As long as he becomes the guardian knight of the Ten-Winged Angel Summoner, even the Holy See and the Pope will find it difficult to interfere with his marriage and life.
If the summoner of the Ten-Winged Angel really fell in love with him, then with the help of the Ten-Winged Angel's power, he would also get rid of the control of the Pope and the Emperor and become the true leader of the Holy Knights.
"It will definitely work. With my title and my looks, I believe I can make this village girl fall in love with me."
This was what Perseus thought before Iris arrived in the imperial capital.
Moreover, he began to think about how to create a wonderful encounter.
However, to his surprise, when Iris arrived in the imperial capital, the detection array actually detected that she was not the summoner of a ten-winged angel, but the summoner of a twelve-winged angel.
As a result, Perseus could no longer sit still, and led some knights of the Holy Knights to the gate of the imperial capital to personally welcome Iris into the city.
When he saw Iris, he found that she was not the country girl he imagined, but a girl with noble temperament. So he quickly expressed his intention to control Iris first.
"Lord Iris, although this is the first time I've seen you, your temperament and beauty have left a deep impression on me. So I hope to be your guardian knight. Forever."
The handsome face, the romantic atmosphere, the serious promise, everything was like a dream, making many girls intoxicated.
However, such a wonderful atmosphere was broken by one person.
"Perseus, are you okay? Lady Iris already has a swordsman to protect her. You should go back quickly."
The person who spoke was not Chen Mo or Iris, but Sera.
"Sword of Judgment. Sera!"
Perseus took one look at Sera and knew her identity.
Sera was a little famous. Although she was not a big name in the imperial capital, Perseus had seen Sera's resume when he was paying attention to the fallen angels.
"Lady Iris already has a guardian knight? This is impossible!"
When Perseus came, he looked around and found that in addition to the five female swordsmen including Sera, there was another person wearing gorgeous armor but whose face could not be seen clearly.
That person was naturally Chen Mo, but when Perseus sensed that Chen Mo was very weak, he did not think of him as Iris's guardian knight at all, but just thought of him as a servant.
There is no way. Chen Mo's cultivation is not very high. If Chen Mo is compared with Perseus, there is basically no comparison.
Perseus is an eight-winged holy knight. If converted to immortal level, he is already at the initial stage of celestial immortal.
With such skills, he could kill Chen Mo easily.
The prerequisite is that you are no longer in any main city of the Holy Paradise.
If he was in the main city of the Holy Paradise, Chen Mo could rely on the blessings of the gods to manipulate all the magic arrays. In that case, let alone the eight-winged holy knight, even if the twelve-winged angel descended, he might not be able to do anything to Chen Mo.
The only thing Chen Mo has no confidence in is the Angel King. Otherwise, he would have launched a coup and used the blessings of the gods to seize control of the entire Holy Heaven.
There is no need to proceed step by step as cautiously as we do now.
"Sera, I didn't see any guardian swordsmen around Lady Iris. I hope you don't lie. After all, the goddess has always taught us to be honest."
Perseus looked at Sera solemnly. If Sera couldn't tell who the guardian knight was, he would definitely put Sera in jail for lying.
The crime of lying is very strange. If you lie to a civilian, it may not be considered a crime, but if you lie to the leader of a holy knight order, then it is a serious sin.
"It's my turn now, but I've offended a celestial being right after I arrived. I'm still a little depressed."
Chen Mo was about to stand up. He thought that the guardian swordsman Sera was talking about was him.
However, just as he took a step forward, Sera stood directly in front of Iris: "Perseus, I am the guardian swordsman of Lady Iris, and I will protect Lady Iris for the rest of my life."
When she finished speaking, not only Perseus was stunned, but even Chen Mo was stunned.
Perseus was stunned. He never expected that Sera would compete with him for Iris.
Chen Mo was stunned because he realized that his presence was so low and he had never been taken seriously by anyone.
"Captain Perseus, thank you for taking a liking to me, but I already have a guardian swordsman, and we are about to enter the city. I hope you can get out of the way."
Iris didn't want to get entangled with Perseus, although Perseus was a good guy, but she was already a messenger of God and had long planned to dedicate everything to Chen Mo, so no matter how good Perseus was, he could not be her type.
"In that case, let me lead Lady Iris to the Holy Cathedral. All the new angel summoners are now resting in the Holy Cathedral, waiting to participate in the sacrificial ceremony in a month and a half."
Perseus still had some hope.
Anyway, Iris's guardian swordsman is just a girl, and that girl is a swordsman, not a knight.
If he continued his offensive and became Iris's guardian knight, then Sera would also be his.
Sera has great potential, and she has killed a fallen angel, so she will definitely be rewarded by the angels in the future.
If you calculate it this way, although the difficulty of the challenge has increased, the benefits you get will also be greater.
Therefore, Perseus became more determined to conquer Iris.
"Then I'll trouble Master Perseus to lead the way."
Since Perseus had said this, Iris naturally stopped refusing. She really didn't know the way to the Holy Cathedral. This was her first time in the capital of the Holy Empire.
"Lady Iris, we have prepared a carriage for you, please!"
Perseus seized the opportunity to show off and hurriedly brought Iris to the gorgeous and sacred carriage.
The horses pulling these two carriages are both very rare Pegasus.
Pegasus are smaller than unicorns, and they don't have horns, only wings.
Moreover, this carriage can only seat two people, so it can be said that Perseus planned to take this opportunity to be alone with Iris.
However, just as Perseus was about to get on the car, Iris suddenly said, "Master Perseus, I want to sit with Jehovah. You and Sera should stay outside to guard me."
After saying that, Iris invited Chen Mo to get on the carriage regardless of their surprise.
"Who...is he?" After seeing Chen Mo get in the car, Perseus asked Sera with gritted teeth.
"I don't know who he is. There is no record of Jehovah in Lake Light Town. But he has been following Lady Iris since she became an angel summoner. Although his strength is not that great, Lady Iris trusts him very much and even relies on him."
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.
Sera has followed Iris for such a long time, so she naturally noticed that Iris is very dependent on Chen Mo.
But every time she asked about Chen Mo's identity, Iris remained silent.
Inside the car.
Chen Mo sat opposite Iris and said helplessly: "Iris, you are too impulsive. Now I am afraid that Sera and the people of the Holy Knights will doubt my identity."
"Lord Jehovah, it doesn't matter even if they doubt me. With your mark, I can now control all the formations in the imperial capital at any time if I want to." Iris said to Chen Mo excitedly.
Just now, she finally experienced the feeling of having power.
Now Iris can mobilize various formations in the imperial capital at any time. With the support of those formations, she can transform into a twelve-winged angel at any time.
She can even use the energy of the imperial capital to evolve the wings of god, the power of which is unmatched by the wings of angels.
It can be said that as long as she is in the imperial capital, even if Iris's own strength is only that of an ordinary cultivator, the strength she can exert is only slightly weaker than that of the Angel King.
After all, the holy power has been accumulated in the imperial capital of the Holy Empire for countless years.
Few people can mobilize these holy powers, because people without the mark of God will consume a lot of mental energy every time they mobilize the holy power in the imperial capital.
But Iris doesn't need to care about this. With the mark of God, she can use the holy power in the imperial capital. She only needs a little bit of mental power to draw it.
This is also one of the reasons why she is now beginning to not care about other people's opinions.
But her transformation made Chen Mo somewhat dissatisfied.
