Monica was lying on the bed, eating fruit. Her upper body was tightly wrapped around a circle of white yarn, protruding the surging steamed buns.

When I move, I tremble.

She didn't have any anger in her heart about being seriously injured, but was still snickering with joy.

After being injured, she lost a lot of blood and passed out. When I woke up, I realized that my left ribcage was directly pulled out by the beta through a long opening, through which I could even see her red heart.

The five alternate bishops, in the midst of heavy protection, were killed by Beta, two were seriously injured, and as for the guards, they were even more killed and wounded.

Under investigation by the Inquisition, the Temple of Life 'defined' Beta and the Knight in Golden Armor as two powerful warriors close to legendary.

But Monica knew very well that the Knight in Gold Armor was supposed to be a summon of Beta. In other words, without using much magic, Beta can challenge the high-end combat power of the Temple of Life alone.

You know, Beta's greatest skill is magic.

If you use magic again, you may be able to force your way through the Cathedral of the Temple of Life, and then leave safely on your own.

Such a powerful man, and a young man...... To this day, Monica's mind still remembers from time to time when Beta was slaughtering.

And when he thought of his long sword, which slashed through his chest mercilessly, his heart began to throb. I can even recall the strange tremor that I felt all over my body when I was shrouded in his killing intent.

Yes...... Wet.

She subconsciously twisted the quilt with her legs on the hospital bed, and bit a strand of hair into her mouth.

After a while, Monica seemed to have just woken up, and muttered lazily, "I'm a little envious of Sasha and Mullin." ”

Beta teleports back to Vorkins again.

It's like teasing the enemy in the palm of your hand again and again...... It's really amazing.

Then, he finds Judy and makes out for a night. Probably only Judy, an alien race with a peculiar physique, can make Beta happy.

In the days that followed, Beta dealt with all the government that had to be decided by him, which was not a big deal, but Shirley would keep it.

Actually, she can handle these things, but she won't do it.

Because she was afraid of leaving Beta with the feeling that the latter was being hollowed out. The more she got to a high position, the more careful she felt became, not because she was afraid that Beta would change, but because she was afraid that the people below would feel that they had taken control of the power of the Divine Cult.

If such a thought does arise, it will have a rather negative impact on the stability of the temple.

Since the public trial, all the nobles and big businessmen in Wojin City have become much more cautious, and they don't dare to say some 'messy' words casually.

And when the mercenaries saw that even the nobles had been sent to labor camp, they were even more frightened.

The population of Woking City is steadily increasing. Now it's not that Beta is begging someone else to settle here, it's that he's starting to deliberately screen the inhabitants.

From the beginning of almost no rejection of the comers, to the high price of civil rights. And now, Beta has put down a new move, and the gold coins are not easy to use, and you must be a believer in the Wealth God Cult, even if you are a shallow believer, and you must have a skill.

A 'parent' can bring up to five family members to live in Woking City, which makes Wojin City more and more talented.

At the same time, Beta began to plan to pilot a 'civilian primary school', where children after the age of six can attend school without tuition, as long as they pay a small 'tool' fee.

In fact, you don't have to pay this fee, but out of the consideration of 'human nature', no one wants to cherish something that is completely free. Therefore, everyone must come up with some money, which is affordable for ordinary families, which is only twenty copper coins a semester.

This incident caused a great sensation in the city of Woking, and the nobles were secretly laughing, thinking that the Pope was just doing something, and the tuition fee of twenty copper coins could teach anything, and most of them were used to do coolies.

Not only do they think so, but so do most ordinary civilians. After all, the tuition fee for 'literacy' is calculated word by word, but it has to be calculated in silver coins.

Two schools were built, and at first only a small number of civilian children were enrolled, and their elders were all orthodox believers in the Fortune God Cult, believing that the Pope, who had always done good deeds, would not fool them casually.

As a result, on the third day of school, the whole city was boiling.

Fortune Cult's school begins teaching children literacy from day one, as well as arithmetic.

Hearing the news, all the school-age children were brought to the school teacher by their parents and asked the teacher to accept them.

But the school has already opened, so for the time being, students will not be accepted and let them come back next year.

Many parents regret leaving, regretting that their intestines are blue.

In Beta's study, Emma asked curiously, "Why don't you take in those civilian students, anyway, it's only three days before school starts, as long as you teach them carefully, they should be able to keep up." ”

"For the first time, the rules are the most important." "Before the official start of the school year, it was already said that after the start of the school year, we will no longer accept registrations, and we will have to wait until next year," Beta said. Since the rules have been set, they must be followed, otherwise no one will take this new thing seriously. ”

Emma nodded, indicating that she understood.

At this time, Shirley came in, smiled at Emma, and said, "Beta, the nobles have sent a few old men to talk to you. ”

"Most of the time I want to talk about school." Beta thought for a moment and said, "Let them wait for me in the hall." ”

"Okay." Shirley walked out the door, then turned back to Emma and said, "By the way, there's a very handsome young man looking for you outside." ”

Emma looked strange.

Beta then got up and went to the hall. There, four old men, as well as a middle-aged man, were waiting.

When they saw Beta coming, they all got up and saluted slightly, which was enough to give him face as a pope.

Beta also nodded slightly, and then he sat down in his chair, invited the five to sit down, and asked, "Your Excellency, come here, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”

They seemed to be prepared before they came, and the oldest nobleman stood up and said, "Your Majesty, before I get down to business, I would like to ask you a question. ”

"Please."

"Do you think you're a nobleman?"

This is the problem...... Beta guessed what the other party wanted to say, it was nothing more than a way of talking endlessly, and if she followed their words, she would be very passive. And the way to deal with it is very simple, more amazing than what they say, or just the other way around.

"It's not."

Beta said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, several nobles looked at each other. Especially the old nobleman who spoke, his face was about to deform and distort.

"Hahahaha......" The old nobleman laughed awkwardly for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, you are really humorous." If you are not a nobleman, how can you become a lord, how can you get this territory. ”

Beta looked at the old man quietly: "Since you know this common sense thing, why do you want to ask me more?" Think I have a lot of time? ”

This is completely out of the routine and common sense way of speaking, which makes the old nobleman's face even more uncomfortable.

After another more than ten seconds of awkward silence, the old nobleman finally held back his anger and said, "Your Majesty, I seriously want to talk to you. ”

"Then just tell the matter, don't play any false and real talk skills."

It's not that Beta doesn't respect the old man, but after knowing their intentions, these people are not worthy of his respect.

Taking a deep breath, the old nobleman was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and several nobles behind him hurriedly patted his back to help him smooth his breath.

After a long pause, the old nobleman said, "Since His Majesty the Pope doesn't want to beat around the bush, then I'll be straightforward." We, the nobles of Ottingtown, want you to close the two civilian schools. ”

And so it was.

Beta leaned over and asked, "Why do you want me to close the school?" There's always a reason for that. ”

The old nobleman said: "Words are noble, and noble things can only be learned by us nobles and some people with talents." Pope, do you want to teach the poor devils the text, do you have to think about it? ”

It sounded soft, but the meaning was so heavy that it almost pointed at Beta's nose and called him an idiot.

Beta laughed: "You mean, in the future, only nobles can learn writing?" Who gave you the power to think so? ”

"It's the rule!" The old nobleman said indignantly: "Your Majesty, we nobles are nobles because we have the right to enjoy something nobler. Whether it's words, or art. This is a custom that has been passed for thousands of years, and it is the power given to us by our ancestors. ”

This is class solidification...... The aristocracy would desperately maintain their class superiority.

One or two people went from commoners to nobles, and they won't say anything.

But a large number of commoners began to become literate, which would inevitably impact the intellectual monopoly of the aristocracy.

And when a large number of poor people begin to be literate, knowledge will inevitably flow 'downward', and the natural advantage of the aristocracy will slowly cease to exist.

Naturally, they could not see this, but instinct told them that it would be bad for their aristocracy if the Pope was allowed to do so.

"What are you afraid of?" Beta said slowly, "Even if the civilians are literate, they can't threaten you. Do they have money? Is there power? There is nothing, how can I fight with you? ”

The old nobleman keenly spotted the loophole in Beta's words: "Since it doesn't work, then why do you want to teach the children of commoners to read?" ”

"Because I'm going to raise more pastors!"

Beta said a very valid reason.

He didn't want to go against the nobles of the world now, at least not yet. After the roots of the Fortune God Cult have taken root in several countries, it is not too late to declare war on this group of nobles.

Beta managed to make the Cult of Fortune what it is now, not just to get a pope to play around.

People's ideas and ideals will change according to their own abilities and the resources at hand.
