Perhaps it was because she had completed psychological counseling during the day and developed some scientific thinking. After entering the same dream for the third time, Anya seemed much more rational. Instead of scaring herself awake by holding her head in defense, she mustered up the courage to ask questions.
.
"Agent, what exactly is that?"
Although those vague shadows before seemed to say that agents are somewhat similar to angels and angels, this is actually a very broad concept, and Anya wants to know more details.
According to the book given by the archbishop of the Science and Truth sect, when encountering an unknown thing, you must examine and judge it with a rigorous, objective and rational attitude, and you cannot make a judgment based on your own imagination.
If human beings could maintain this mode of thinking, there would be no three major misconceptions in life.
So Anya asked sincerely.
The other party responded mercifully:
"An agent is a person who carries out the will of our Lord, walking in the world, spreading the glory of our Lord, singing His name, and bestowing relief and blessings on believers."
Anya was stunned for a moment...
Why do these people look more like magicians than the archbishops of other sects?
She couldn't help but curse in her heart and continued to ask:
"Then why choose me?"
A phantom replied:
"I see your future in the intertwined destiny. You will walk with our Lord and enjoy His grace."
It sounds very mysterious, but in fact there is a simple reason:
My village chief seems to like you quite a bit.
Half of the reasons why I chose Anya were because of this.
Because of Keli, and the fact that Anya herself is also a well-behaved and lovely young lady from a rich family, Luo Er has always had a good impression of her and is willing to protect her.
This is a very important factor when selecting an agent, accounting for at least half of the reasons.
Another part of the reason is that her tailor neighbor performed a divination on her fate and found that her trajectory and that of the village chief's daughter had been entangled for a long time, and the involvement was so deep that it affected the operation of the entire village.
Keli met her on her first trip and was taken to the imperial capital by her. Then the village chief followed her out, which triggered a series of events that followed.
From a mystical perspective, she belongs to the starting point of cause and effect. If Keli had not saved her, the village chief would not have gone out, the imperial capital behind would not have been attacked, and the village chief would not have gone to the temple.
Da still cannot be promoted, and the village chief will not plant that seed in the imperial capital.
These are all good developments and are developing in a good direction.
Therefore, letting her serve as the next successor may lead to a better direction in the future.
Fate divination in occult science is not about predicting the future, it can only predict a certain direction of future development.
Divinations that directly tell you that you will make a fortune in the future, your wife will be beautiful and rich, and your fortune will be delivered every time a card is drawn, is a street divination.
It is precisely because of the results of this divination that Anya has a certain advantage over Jeanne, the second most qualified person.
The remaining reasons are a combination of other factors.
For example, she is very young and has not yet received extraordinary enlightenment. She is as simple as a blank sheet of paper, highly malleable and easy for the villagers to operate.
Another example is that if she is beautiful, rich, has a high social status, has great influence, and has a wide network of contacts, it will be very convenient for her to do things later.
Also, she really likes Keli and respects Rohr from the bottom of her heart.
Compared to the third qualified steward Odo, Anya has an absolute advantage in these aspects.
Compared with the above factors, the issue of her own strength is not that important. The villagers have countless ways to solve it.
For example, a formal agent contract.
Once the contract is established and she becomes the true agent, the power she can use is far more powerful than what she has practiced for hundreds of years.
Therefore, Butler Odona's meager eighth-level strength is like an ant, unable to influence the final choice.
Of course, as a price for relying on external force, once she terminates or violates the contract, she will suffer a terrible backlash...
At the same time, she will never be able to come into contact with extraordinary power, become stronger on her own, or break out of the contract on her own.
Of course, with Anya's status and interests, she doesn't need to become stronger.
Rather than strength, issues related to state of mind and combat experience are more specific.
But there are other ways to exercise these things.
Of course, the above reasons will not be told to Anya. All she can hear are those mysterious rhetoric.
"So, what's the price? What's the price?"
Anya looked at a piece of contract floating in front of her. It was densely written in words she didn't recognize, but she was miraculously able to understand the content of these words.
The contract clearly spelled out the rights and obligations, responsibilities, abilities, advantages and disadvantages of the agent. The villagers did not deceive her in this aspect, nor did they force her. Everything was her voluntary choice.
At the end of the contract, there are four simple drawing-like symbols, one looks like a bottle, one looks like a seed, one looks like a bear and a pig, and one looks like a ring.
These are the marks left by the fat man, the sweetheart neighbor, the tailor neighbor, and the pig-raising neighbor respectively.
The four seals elevate this contract to a divine contract, which is very serious and effective.
But Anya didn't dare to sign, but made an excuse to think about it, and then woke up.
"What should I do?"
She curled up on the bed, shivering slightly, and hugged the hammerhead shark doll in her arms tightly.
It was the same style as Keli's. She also saw Keli hugging a fluffy and gray hammerhead shark stuffed doll at every turn. She thought it was very cute, so she followed suit and bought one too.
"I should discuss it with someone, but I don't dare to tell the truth..."
That night, Anya didn't dare to fall asleep anymore, she kept struggling with this problem.
At dawn, with dark circles under her eyes, she ate breakfast under the service of the housekeeper Otto. She hesitated for a long time, carefully considered her words, and then asked in a low voice:
"Uncle Odo, is there such a thing in this world that as long as you sign a contract, you can get unlimited power?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, frowned, and asked quickly:
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Uh...you mean, there is no such thing?"
The housekeeper quickly shook his head and explained:
"Such a thing is actually possible, but it only exists in historical legends..."
"Your Highness, you should also know that our world once had an era when gods roamed the world. It was only later that the gods fell one after another, and there are no more gods in this world."
Anya nodded and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"But aren't those just hypotheses of scholars?"
The housekeeper smiled and explained:
"Although it is an unfounded hypothesis, I personally believe that that era once existed."
"It is said that people in that era could gain strength by believing in gods. If faith is regarded as a contract, then it is what His Highness described before, right?"
"However, after all, it was a long time ago. The extraordinary people at that time were definitely not as powerful as they are now, and the ways to become extraordinary people were definitely not as many as now. This is the progress brought about by social development."
"And this kind of power obtained through a contract must be very unreal and false, and it is impossible to become a truly strong man like Mr. Rohr."
While Anya listened, she picked up the papaya milk at hand and took a shallow sip.
Although what Mr. Butler said are all his own speculations, some parts are still consistent. The contract also clearly stated that I cannot violate the contract, otherwise I will lose my power and suffer backlash.
And after signing the contract and becoming the agent of the Lord of Order, I am also equivalent to his disciple, right? The theory that contract and belief are equal also makes sense...
Judging from this, the dream is probably true, and the contract is also likely to be true?
While she was thinking about it, she suddenly thought of something and asked quickly:
"Will my dad stay at the residence today?"
The butler quickly replied:
"That shouldn't happen, right? Your Excellency, the Duke, has been very busy recently. He seems to have to attend several hearings today."
Anya thought carefully, secretly clenched her fists, and said:
"I suddenly remembered that my father asked me to help him sort out some documents. I have almost forgotten about it these days because of fun. After dinner, I will go to my father's mansion."
Because his two brothers have no interest in politics and are extremely willful, the Speaker has always wanted to train Anya as his heir. He will allow her to enter his study when there is nothing to do, help organize documents, and handle some simple government affairs.
And half a month ago, when Anya was helping him organize documents, she accidentally saw a document about the confidential case No. 12.
She was very curious about this, but the Speaker did not show it to her, and just muttered in a low voice:
"This is a very important secret. We must be in awe of the gods."
At that time, Anya was obedient and did not delve into the matter.
And now, she suddenly remembered this confidential document.
If it is related to gods, could it be related to the Lord of Order?
With doubts in her mind, she rushed to the official residence where the Speaker usually lived, and entered his office on the pretext of helping her father handle chores.
This is a very common situation, so no one doubts it.
Anya flipped open a mural hanging on the wall with ease and found the confidential filing cabinet embedded in the wall.
She put the confidential document in with her own hands, so she knew the exact location, and some of the anti-theft measures on the safe were meaningless to her.
There is no way to guard against theft.
However, the Speaker did not tell her the password to open the file cabinet, so Anya had to try it herself.
She tried her birthday first and turned the code dial on the door.
mistake!
Huh?
Obviously his bank deposit slips use my birthday as the password!
Anya didn't believe in evil, so she tried to celebrate her mother's birthday again.
Still wrong!
She then tried the birthdays of her two little mothers.
Still not right.
Could it be that……
Anya thought of something and finally tried to celebrate her eldest brother's birthday.

Click, the safe opened.
Anya felt unhappy for no reason...
She first wrote down the order and general shape of the documents inside, then dug out the confidential case No. 12 and read it carefully.
After reading it, she couldn't help but gasped.
Good guy, Mademoiselle Jeanne and her sect are actually protected by a god!
No wonder the empire values her so much and asked me to accompany her...
According to that, Miss Jeanne is also a proxy?
Could it be the Lord of Order?
With doubts in mind, Anya carefully restored the files to their original state, and then helped her father sort out the messy files on the table in a serious manner.
I have been thinking about this in my mind.
She was actually somewhat interested in the powerful power described in the contract.
Part of the interest comes from women's inherent curiosity, and part of it comes from the yearning for extraordinary power.
When she was with Keli, she also imagined how great it would be if she could become stronger?
Once being rescued by Keli, once in the defense battle of Qingquan Territory, once in the rice cake attack, and once in the imperial capital attack, she has experienced the powerlessness of ordinary people when faced with extraordinary power four times in a row.
It is impossible not to yearn for power.
She also wanted to fight side by side with Keli, instead of fainting for no reason and then being sent to the hospital to lie down for ten days and a half.
And she also knew that her father had been secretly wooing powerful people from all walks of life, such as Uncle Luo Er, in order to fight against the Scholars Association.
It would be a good thing if you could become powerful yourself and become a Sky Sword Lady, an Earth Sword Lady, an Ocean Sword Lady, etc. You could not only form a team with your best friends, but also help your father share his worries.
In the past, she felt that learning extraordinary powers was too hard and she had no time, but now an excellent opportunity was placed in front of her.
In fact, the contract is not that strict, and I still enjoy a lot of freedom, and only perform the functions of an agent when necessary.
Probably just like Miss Jeanne, right? She spends most of her time like a normal girl, shopping, eating sweets, chatting privately, practicing swordsmanship, and acting coquettishly towards Uncle Rolle...
However, will the Lord of Order be the tolerant and kind god behind Miss Jeanne?
Could it be an evil god or something?
She was a little worried about this and wanted to find someone to ask.
She subconsciously thought of Uncle Luo Er.
Maybe it was because the housekeeper often boasted about Rohr's power in front of her, so even Anya, who didn't know much about extraordinary power, believed it.
So she thought about it, picked an evening when Rolle was free, and visited him with gifts.
Luo Er was holding a small shovel in the garden, carefully loosening the soil for the seeds that had just been planted two days ago.
Standing next to it was a pretty and cute little donkey, holding a big whale water bottle in his hand. With a serious look on his face, he waited for Roll's order and started watering.
The little cat squatted above her head, stretched its neck, widened its eyes, and watched with seriousness.
"Well, it's almost done, let's water it!"
Rohr said, but immediately let out a series of screams.
"Oh! You're not pouring water on my head!"
"Go get me a towel quickly..."
"I asked you to bring me a towel, not to stick out your tongue and lick it!"
