388 Beta feels like there is a conspiracy
More than a dozen female elves, still with imprints on their bodies...... It is unrealistic for them to walk back to the forest elves on their own, and it is very likely that they will become the trophies of other slave hunters again on the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
If Beta took them back to the forest elves, it would be fine, but the halfway was too far, and at least a month had passed. It's fine if it's a bit of a teleportation node, but the problem is that in the game, he didn't participate in the Forest Goddess Slaughter, and in the second half of the game, he has been taking care of his territory, and has never been to the forest elves, not even the countries near the forest elves. Because it's impossible to teleport to the vicinity of the forest elves.
Now he is still on an epic mission, and there are a lot of things in his own territory waiting for him to go back and deal with, so he has time to escort these elves back to the elven forest.
But he didn't have time, and one person did.
Granton ...... This half-elf.
Beta rested for a while, regained enough mental strength, continued to activate the teleportation magic, and returned to the outskirts of Drum City in a few seconds.
At this time, it was already late at night, and because of the relationship of Alice, the eldest lady, Beta easily passed through the city gate, and there was no need to waste time to report, and soon met the legendary powerhouse, Granton.
Looking at the female elf slaves lined up in front of him, Granton hid the killing intent in his eyes well, he smiled and asked the butler to take the dozen elves to the best room to rest, and sent almost all the maids in the castle to serve them, help them bathe, change clothes, and so on.
After all the female elves left, his killing intent erupted unabashedly, and the porcelain in the room shattered one by one.
Beta, Shirley, and Emma sat quietly and drank sweet fruit wine in this amazing momentum.
After a while, Granton finally calmed down, and he didn't ask Beta where he rescued the people from, but just said directly: "I'm planning to leave for a trip to the Elven Forest, and I will bring back these kindred, and none of them will be left behind." ”
Granton is a legendary lancer, with such strength, he is a guest wherever he goes, but if he can bring back a dozen more elf slave girls, then he will not only be welcomed by the elves, but also be grateful by them.
Although Granton is not uncommon for such gratitude.
"Didn't you go on a mission, why did you come back so quickly?" Granton knew the mission function of the Knights of the Round Table system: "Or is it part of the mission to rescue these elven kindred?" ”
Beta waved his hand: "It's just a drop-by." Take a break, and we'll teleport back in a minute. ”
"In such a hurry?" Granton frowned and said, "Then there's something I have to talk to you about...... The Temple of Waukin, these two days are a little strange. ”
Beta's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, the Workin Temple is an important part of his strength, and he now has a good relationship with Shirley and the Goddess Workin, so it is reasonable that the Workin Temple cannot have any problems.
"What's this strange method?"
Granton said lightly: "Then you have to check it yourself." You also know very well that there are some things that I am not convenient to participate in. ”
Nodding slightly, I understood. Beta got up and took Shirley and Emma into the mansion space, and then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Compared to the desert nights, the temperature in Tonggu City is significantly warmer. Several of the main streets are bustling even late at night.
Beta didn't stop and went straight to the Temple of Distraction, which was controlled by Katy.
The Cult of Waujin has now taken root in the city of Bronze Drums, and even late at night, there are still worshippers praying outside the temple.
Beta walked straight into the temple, the guards in charge of guarding the temple were all Katy's people, and two newcomers saw Beta and were about to stop him from entering the temple, but an old team member next to him shook his head at them, and then let Beta swagger in.
The orange candlelight illuminated the entire study, and Katy was crouching over the desk to revise the plan. She struggled to see it, after all, not long ago, she was just an illiterate killer, and now she suddenly became a dark archon, and it was normal to be under pressure.
The goddess Waujin forcibly raised her rank to the master, and a high rank naturally brought about an intellectual boost, so her learning ability was qualitatively changed, and learning words became a very simple thing.
However, the improvement of intelligence does not mean that her knowledge, experience, and insight will be improved rapidly, these things still need time to accumulate little by little, at most, she is just easier to learn new knowledge than ordinary people.
At this time, she was looking at the income and cashier of the Workin Temple during this time, and there were some other trivial matters that she needed to deal with, these things looked simple, but if you consider it from the overall situation, it would be a little troublesome, in other words, Katie did not have real management experience in the actual sense, and she could not directly see clearly what kind of reaction she would have to do in the future of the temple after she made her decision, or what kind of reaction it would cause to the surrounding forces.
She had to think about all of them one by one, so she wasted her energy and brainpower. It was only at this time that she felt that Beta was a great person, and she really didn't understand how he made decisions that seemed very wise to her.
Just as she sighed in her heart, there was a knock at the door behind her. Katie was a little displeased, she had already confessed, after the evening, if there was nothing important, don't bother her.
Is there something troublesome? With such doubts, Katy opened the door, and when she saw the people outside the door, her pretty face showed a slight joy.
"Lord Beta, you're finally back." Katy's eyes brightened: "Come in and sit down, I have something very important and want to talk to you." ”
During the mansion operation, Emma looked at Katy's pretty face and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's so late now, this woman is so happy to invite Beta into the house, it looks like she has bad intentions." ”
Shirley smiled: "I didn't know it was that person, who ran to Beta's room late at night, and was thrown out of the window by him." ”
"Ah...... Don't talk about it anymore. Emma's face was flushed, her hands were dancing, and she was even a little angry.
Beta didn't know what was going on in the mansion, so he generously found a place to sit down, looked around, and smiled, "You're still so simple." Our goddess is the goddess of wealth, and if the place of your dark archon is too shabby, it may damage the reputation of the goddess. ”
Katie chuckled, she knew that Beta was joking, and although the place where she handled affairs did look average, in essence, her personal income was not low. And this income is not black income, but a rule set by Beta. In fact, everyone in the temple of Woggin has a lot of income, from the lowest-ranking priests to the bishops. On the one hand, this money comes from the offerings of the believers, and partly from the 'reward' of the goddess Waukin.
In the small vault of each temple, a small amount of gold coins will suddenly appear on a regular basis, and there is really no one else except the goddess who can put a sum of money in the temple without knowing it.
"I know you came late at night, definitely for the sake of the temple." Katy sighed slightly: "Actually, I also feel that something is wrong, and I have been trying to find you, but your whereabouts are too difficult to trace, so it has been delayed until now." ”
Judging by Beta's perspective, Katie is not a very good manager, as she lacks the necessary big-picture vision for the time being. But Gakati felt that something was wrong, and that it must have been serious.
"What the hell is going on?" Beta was looking, "Tell me, something that even your Dark Archon doesn't think is right, it must be some trouble." ”
Katie leaned forward slightly, fully revealing the bulging curve of his chest: "The main temple was not built in a slum, but now, there are fewer and fewer poor people there, and more and more nobles live in. ”
Hearing this, Beta's finger moved slightly: "What about the houses we helped those people build for free?" Those houses are very ordinary, and the nobles can't live in them...... Or did they buy the houses of the poor, tear them down en masse, and start building their own mansions? ”
Katy nodded: "It's true, many nobles suddenly bought houses and land, and they gave a lot of money to those poor people. Now a large number of houses have been demolished, the land is concentrated in the hands of a few, and luxury houses are being built. ”
"This happened all of a sudden?"
Katie sighed, "It should be!" I didn't pay much attention to it because there were other people on the main temple's side, and by the time I found out that something was wrong, at least half of the land had already fallen into the hands of other nobles. Now, it's almost two-thirds. ”
If it is other religions, it is a good thing that there are a large number of aristocratic beliefs, after all, the nobles have a lot of money and influence, and they can have a large amount of money to donate.
But the current Waujin Temple is different, the goddess in charge of wealth is not short of money, but lacks faith, and now its teachings have been changed by Beta, taking the popular route. If the main temple had been surrounded by nobles, turning the place into a rich area, and excluding a large number of poor people and the masses, the speed of the temple would have been greatly affected.
And most importantly, Beta smelled a sense of conspiracy from this.
In addition, Granton's reminder can illustrate this point from the side. An elf who has lived for nearly four hundred years, his political sense must be stronger than most people, and since he has spoken out, it is very likely that someone is targeting the Workin Temple.
I don't know if it's just for the temple or if it's against the goddess Workin.
If it's the former, then it's just a competition of pure believers between the temples, and if it's the latter, hehe, things have to go in the direction of life and death.
