Chapter 1508: Divine Officer

Because of the fusion of the godhead of the god king, Liu Yu was a little respectful of the god clan in his heart, so he really didn't think of the Nature God Cult before. This time, Salestel offered to destroy him with the help of the Cult of Nature, which reminded him of this force.

Because of Ragnarok, surviving gods like the goddess of the forest have many functions, and the cult of nature has a lot of scriptures. Due to the high cost of parchment, many priests and missionaries can only have one book in their lifetime, and it is naturally inconvenient to preach, so it is said that the Church of Natural Deity also needs such a thing as papermaking.

Moreover, the Cult of Deity is the Great Cult of Varoran, second only to the Cult of Light and the Cult of the Dark God, with a long history and great power. Recently, because of the grain matter, Liu Yu's territory has been peeped into, but because his current identity is a nobleman of Demacia, and he is also the "beloved son" of the most beloved teacher of the king of Demacia, considering the military strength of Demacia, others have to be careful. But what if the king of Demacia died, and the new king did not want to see him, the "bastard"? It is estimated that there are many people who want to pick up the leak.

Liu Yu is confident in his own strength, if someone really wants to use force to subdue his territory, he will definitely let people know what it means to be hard to bite. However, he didn't want to make a move. His purpose in going to Varojan was to obtain the Ninth Lotus Petal, but he wasn't here to play the Great Continent Conquest Game! Dealing with the "cataclysm" in the near future has already made him a little excited, if there are more bad things within the human race, he doesn't know if he still has the patience to abide by the "rules" of the ninth lotus petal! Therefore, Liu Yu is ready to make his "backstage" bigger, one Demacian royal family is not enough, so how about adding a natural god cult?!

Do what you want, Liu Yu knows that Salestel will hurry up to deal with himself, so he has to hurry up to deal with Salestelle. The next morning, Liu Yu got up early in the morning, took a carriage, put out a guard of honor, and came to the only temple in his territory. Because of the recent bumper harvest in the territory, the original simple and simple church has also changed. Some ignorant lords think that this is a gift from the goddess of the forest, so they will donate part of their income to the church, and the church will naturally be more beautiful when it has money.

Because there was no notice before, when he saw Liu Yu's lord frame, the new priest Pirester was surprised, he was very young, so he had little experience, and he was a little in a hurry. However, Liu Yu did not come to participate in any memorial activities this time, he got off the car very lightly, and then knelt in front of the statue of the goddess of the forest like ordinary people, praying silently.

Liu Yu's gesture surprised Pirest, and his pious expression made him almost think that this lord was a devout believer in the goddess of the forest. The reason why I was suspicious was because Liu Yu had never been to the Forest Goddess Temple at all in the past.

At the end of the morning prayer, the other believers left, not noticing Liu Yu's figure. Liu Yu was in the temple at the moment, and he was facing the priest of the goddess of the forest, Pirest.

"God bless the world, thank the goddess of the forest for the bountiful harvest that Freeljord has brought to me, and I see the smiles of the people." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Pirest saluted Liu Yu, he was not yet a priest, and he did not have the right to see the king and not worship, "These are all gifts from God." ”

Although Pirester is a priest, he actually doesn't believe much in gods, if believing in gods is really useful, then is Freeljord's barrenness all these years because he is not religious enough to the gods? Growing up in the temple, he saw every day people who were hungry for a good harvest because of poverty, and they so devoutly hoped that the goddess of the forest would rain down and bring them a good harvest, but they were disappointed countless times. This time the harvest of the territory, Pireist knew that it was not the work of the gods, but the lord in front of him, this new lord brought new life to Freeljord. But he couldn't have said that it wasn't a gift from God, because he was a priest and he had to believe in his gods.

Liu Yu didn't know what Pirester was thinking, he naturally came here to connect with the Nature God Cult. That's why he disguised himself as a believer, he didn't expect this disguise to deceive anyone, he just hoped that this little priest in his territory would have a channel to send his things to the upper echelons of the Natural God Cult. Although Trendel, who took the initiative to surrender to Liu Yu, is a priest of the Nature God Cult and has a high position, I don't know why, Liu Yu just doesn't have a sense of trust in him, so he would rather spend more time on detours than take shortcuts.

"So in gratitude for this God-given harvest season, I have prepared some gifts for the church." Liu Yu's expression was modest, in contrast to Pirest, who deliberately pretended to be reserved.

Liu Yu's modesty comes from the power he has, and Pireist's reserve comes from his empty self-esteem. Gift? Hearing this word, Pirester's eyes lit up, although he had received many donations from believers these days, but even if those poor ghosts had a good harvest once or twice, how could their wealth be comparable to that of the real owner of the land, the lord? Regarding Liu Yu's origin, Pirest didn't know very well, but he knew that his lord came from the most powerful family in the royal capital, and such a person must be unusual.

Pirester's heart beat faster, and he had a very strong expectation for the lord's gift. What could it be? I remember the old priest told him that a lord once donated a statue of pure gold to the temple under his lordship. But the old priest spoke with contempt, saying, "How can the majesty of God be measured in money?" This is a defilement of God. But Pirest, a child who was born poor and was adopted by the old priest, because of his experience, he inevitably has a greed for money, and in his heart, money is more powerful than God!

He saw with his own eyes that money can change lives, so he believes. I remember that the old priest also said that after the harvest, many lords would hold a celebration in the temple of the goddess of the forest, looking forward to a good harvest in the coming year. This year's harvest is so good, then this rich lord must also want to hold a celebration at the temple, right?!

As the party hosting the celebration, the lords would give the temple a large amount of money, and the lords would not ask how much was spent. Pirest clenched his fists slightly, he endured the throbbing in his heart and pretended to be calm and said to Liu Yu: "God will thank you for your generosity, and the coming year will definitely be another good year." ”

The coming year was of course a good year, and he was ready to revamp the water system in his territory. Liu Yu smiled in his heart, and then his face became more and more gentle. He clapped his hands, and the two servants behind him immediately lifted out a large box. Liu Yu found that the priest's eyes were obviously shining with the light of gold coins when he saw this box, which was something more valuable than gold coins! Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth.

When the box was opened, a faint scent of ink wafted out. This was made by Liu Yu overnight, fortunately, there was no shortage of modern production tools in his dungeon, Liu Yu gave an order, and the printing press was quickly completed. Seeing the contents of the box, Pirest was visibly stunned. He never thought that this box was not filled with gold coins and gems, but a book with a strange appearance and something similar to the Holy Scriptures.

The Holy Canon was the only book Pirest had ever read, and of course he was proud of it. In this age when knowledge is expensive, reading books has become glorious, and the holy scriptures belong to the old priest, and now they are his. All the words that Pirest knew were learned from this holy text. He only knows the words of this holy text, which is also the current situation of many priests in remote places in this era.

Because of the high cost of books, there are very few books that can be owned in a temple, and usually only a few people can share a book. The huge psychological gap made Pyreste feel depressed, but he couldn't show it, because it was the lord who sent the gift. He raised a smile, and there was a slight reluctance on his face that could not be concealed: "What a good gift, the goddess of the forest will be very happy." ”

Liu Yu nodded, in inertia, he didn't know that the priest in front of him didn't even know that he was sending a book. So after a little chat with the little priest, he left and returned to the lord's mansion. After he left, the little priest Pirest looked at the large box in front of him, and showed a reluctant expression. But after frowning, he approached the box. In fact, I have to say that the things inside are very exquisite. This beauty is not about how many gems are set and how much gold and silver are spent, but because of the neatness of the ...... There were 18 strange things in the box, but each one was the same, including the patterns and text on it.

Writing?! Pirest was stunned, because the words in front of him were too regular, and they were not at all the flowery characters used in his Bible that he knew, so at first glance, he did not recognize the words, but thought that they were the same patterns as the corners. Saint...... Canon...... Teach...... Meaning...... Pirest recognized the words on it, and he blinked, unable to believe it.

What's in this box in front of you, which is as white as snow? Could it be the cloth made by the legendary wind elves using the essence of the clouds? Pyrester carefully picked up the snow-white thing, and unexpectedly found that this thing was a small book, and there were more than ten layers in this box, and there were hundreds of this thing. Sure enough, it's a nobleman! Pyrester sighed inwardly, and in an instant he threw aside the resentment that he had complained about the lord's stinginess when he saw that the chest did not contain gold.

Turning the first page, Pyrester saw familiar and unfamiliar words. What is familiar is the same as the words in the holy scriptures, and what does not belong to the layout and regularity that are completely different from the holy scriptures that he has read for more than ten years...... Pirester carefully touched the page of this strange thing, much thinner than sheepskin, clean as snow, what was it? Why is the Holy Book so holy in this? Could it be that this thing was really made for the Holy Scriptures?

After a moment of daze, Pirester shook his head and shook off the god-like thought. How could this thing have been created by God? Obviously it was given by the lord. Could it be a novelty from the royal capital, a special animal skin? But what animal would have such fur? It's exquisite, but it's not defensive.

Liu Yu's idea was good, and if Pirest offered this thing, naturally someone would be able to see the preciousness of paper and printing. However, Liu Yu didn't expect that this little priest in his territory was really too knowledgeable and a little good-looking, so he just thought that this was a very precious thing, and he didn't think about anything else at all. It's just that...... It is gold that always shines. Papermaking and printing are two great inventions that can change the course of the world.

Three days later, Pirester was dressed and stood at the door of the temple to greet the envoys. The Cult of Deity has been in existence for so many years, and it has long had its own tightly knit organization. In poor places, there will be fewer people coming, but there are many believers, so you can't give up. But they couldn't starve remote temples to death, so for those temples in difficulty, the Cult of Deity had a subsidy, and it was a big subsidy.

It's just that after tens of thousands of years, the system will always change, so the subsidies to remote temples have begun to decrease little by little, not because the Sect of Nature has taken the initiative to decrease, but because the exploitation has begun to increase. Gradually, the subsidy given to remote temples was only as much as it could sustain the temple's daily expenses, and sometimes less. Since the priests of those temples had little say within the Cult of Deity, this kind of exploitation became the norm.

This day is the time when the Church of Nature sends a subsidy, and the person who sends the subsidy is an acquaintance of Pireist, Medester. To be honest, Pirest hated Maidste because he knew that this man had swallowed a lot of his money, and it was all for him! But because his life was difficult, and he had to live on the assistance of the Cult of Nature sent by Medester, he could only endure it, and every time he put on the most perfect smile, and flattered him with the most humble tone that did not damage his dignity as a priest.

Medester is a fat man, he is not a priest, just a staff member of the headquarters of the Cult of Nature, because he sends a lot of oil and water to this living body, so he is also very rich, you can see by looking at his appearance, fat face, round neck, and his thick fingers with several rings encrusted with rubies, each of which is polished brightly.

When Pyrester looked down at Medester, his eyes swept greedily over the rings. How much bread can be exchanged for these things! "Dear Mr. Maidest, I'm glad to see you again, you look a little fatter." Piestre said.

Medermer raised his chin and snorted, then his gaze swept over the temple building. He also discovered the changes in the temple. "It is said that this month, Freljord's income is good?"

Damn vampires! Pyrester cursed inwardly, then smiled and said, "These are gifts from God. ”
