When Greenton heard Beta's words, he said reassuringly, "Since you have a plan, then I won't say much." By the way, Alice has been unhappy lately, if you have time, help me enlighten her. ”

Beta gave Glinton a blank look, "It would be better for Kyle to handle this." ”

Glinton said helplessly: "Alice's displeasure was caused by that bastard boy, how could he come over to persuade Alice again." ”

Beta naturally knew what was going on, and he said helplessly, "Then I can't help it." Alice is trapped by love, you are a person from the past, you should understand very well, in this case, outsiders will not intervene in it, it will not play any role. ”

Glynton said: "I am from the past, so I know better that when a young girl is sad, if a handsome, gentle, funny and humorous man suddenly appears by her side, enlightens her, comforts her, then things will be much simpler, and she will gradually put her mind on the new man." ”

When Shirley heard this, she immediately stared at Glynton with a pair of big eyes with hatred, like a hen guarding her food, and almost let out a threatening cackling.

Glinton was already a legendary powerhouse, so he naturally didn't care about Shirley's little threatening eyes.

Beta exhaled heavily, "But the problem is, I'm not handsome, I'm not handsome, and I don't have a sense of humor. So I can't help it. ”

"Speak with your conscience." Greenton looked disdainful: "These are the exact words of your son of gold." ”

"But there is another saying in our Children of Gold, which you must have heard." Beta said lightly: "Conscience is used to feed dogs, and temperance is used to throw." I really can't help Alice's thing. ”

"Well, forget it. My daughter's life is not good. Glynton let out a long sigh, "Well, I've been talking to you guys for so long. Others will definitely have an opinion. I won't bother you, I'll go and meet the other friends. ”

Glynton finished speaking, raised his glass to Beta and Shirley, and stepped aside.

Because the city lord Glinton is a person with a high status in the banquet, and at the same time the most powerful person. So when he was talking to Beta, no one wanted to come up and disturb, and they didn't dare to come up and disturb, and now as soon as he left, three nobles came over at once.

The three nobles all came for Shirley, and they gathered around and asked Shirley all kinds of questions, and Shirley coped well, that is, she did not reveal any of her privacy. It also makes others not feel how noble and proud she is.

Seeing this, Beta stepped aside and let Shirley play to her heart's content.

As a former lord, Beta understands that it is important to delegate authority to let his subordinates complete their work or tasks independently. If you do everything yourself, then the results are generally not very good. Either they are tired to death, or those subordinates who have been placed or left out have complaints. At least they will leave, or at worst they will rebel.

He was drinking fruit wine on the side. Watching more and more people gather Shirley in the middle. After all, a big beauty, or the bishop of the temple, will be very popular no matter what.

When Beta was feeling at ease, a bald head approached him.

"I'm Bud...... One of the bishops of the Temple of Light. It's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency the Red Priest. ”

Beta's reputation as a 'Red Priest' has only spread more in Winterwind City. Only a small number of people know about it in Drum City. And Bud, as an alien bishop of the Temple of Light, has actually heard of Beta's reputation, which is quite rare, maybe he investigated it before coming.

"Lord Bard. Very open to see you. Beta raised his glass to Bud, and then asked, "I wonder if Lord Bud's coming over is a big benefit for me!" ”

"I don't have the power to give benefits to Your Excellency." Bard looked humble: "I have something I want to ask for a favor from Your Excellency. ”

Beta, who never smiled at people, asked, "I don't know what offended Your Excellency." ”

The word intercession, in the semantics of Hollevin, is generally used when the two parties are intending to reconcile after a conflict.

Bard smiled, "We're going to build a temple here, Your Excellency should know very well." ”

Beta nodded, he had heard this from Glynton just now, so naturally he wouldn't forget it so quickly.

"We in the Temple of Light plan to preach in Bronze Drum City as well." Bard looked into Beta's eyes and said, "It's just that we're a little late, and it stands to reason that we shouldn't continue to preach in a place where there is your Workin Temple, it's just that our goddess has been in a bad mood lately, so we can only try to gather more believers for her and try to make her happy." ”

"You mean, let's get the Temple of Waujin out of here?" Beta turned the glass in her hand, her eyes lit up with danger.

Bud waved his hand vigorously, he didn't seem to see Beta, or he didn't feel Beta's murderous hysteria: "Our Temple of Light is a very kind cult, it is impossible for us to do such a tasteless thing. I just hope that Your Excellency can draw a small area for us, and we will be in it, and we will never come out or touch the line. ”

Beta understands that this is the division of territory. Although Bard speaks very well and knows how to lower his stature, this still can't hide the problem that he intends to use his strength to oppress Beta to separate the realm.

In fact, such a situation was expected by Beta. Religious wars are the most brutal of all wars, and many times, once two religions are hostile, either you die or I live.

Beta asked, "So where are you going to want it?" ”

"With the City Lord's Mansion as the boundary, we want a small area in the north of the city." Bard said slowly.

Beta squinted in thought. On the north side of the city, there is a rich area, although the residents of the rich area are very rich, but their houses are also very large, and the population is not large. The population in the slums is more than 20 times that of them. Moreover, there are many ordinary civilians in the vicinity of the slums, and the number of these people is about three-quarters of the total number of people in the slums.

To be honest, Beta didn't plan to preach to the rich people, and if the rich people were willing to believe in Waukin, it would be fine, but if they didn't, Beta didn't bother to tell them the teachings, because it was meaningless.

Most of the aristocracy had their own outlook on life, and they already had their own beliefs at a very young age, and it was very difficult and thankless to persuade them to convert.

And the poor and civilians are much simpler.

As long as someone feeds and clothes them, they can give their entire faith to anyone.

In Beta's heart, he liked this decision very much, after all, it was a good deal to give up a piece of chicken ribs in exchange for a period of peace with the Temple of Light.

But he said with a painful look on his face: "Rich area, if they don't believe in goddesses anymore, what will happen to our income?" What do you think about this, Lord Bard? ”

Bud smiled slightly, his left hand behind his back, and quickly released it again, spreading. Inside there are several white gemstones that sparkle with a charming luster.

There were a few exclamations around...... After all, Beta and Bard are both big shots, and it's normal for their conversations to be noticed.

In Bard's hand, there is a crystallization of light...... A type of soul gemstone.

Although this soul gem is the worst kind of goods, it is still a rare treasure in the human world.

Beta glanced at it, with a slightly greedy look on his face, at this moment he was possessed by the actor, with a clear expression on his face, but his eyes kept aiming at the soul gem. This kind of almost schizophrenic acting technique deceived Bud all at once.

Bard was slightly happy: "If Your Excellency agrees with me, then these three crystals of light are yours." ”

Beta reached out and took the Light Crystal from Bud's hand and placed it in her space.

Then the two looked at each other, looked at each other and laughed, as if they had seen each other again after decades of acquaintance, and they were inexplicably excited.

Life in the world depends on acting skills. Greenton was on the sidelines, watching the interaction between the two, and he knew very well that Bard had been pitted into the Victoria Trench by his original owner. He knew very well how well his master knew how to deliberately show weakness to the enemy in his dreams, or deliberately pretend to be that kind of incompetent little white face.

Bud immediately returned to the crowd after getting the 'thing' he wanted. Beta waited for Shirley to finish squeezing with the male nobles with evil intentions, and then took her away.

The male aristocrats who didn't have time to talk to Shirley let out a mournful voice.

It was Bard in the crowd, looking at Beta's back, and said softly, "Greedy idiot." ”

When Beta returned to the temple, she crystallized the light to Shirley. As a divine creature, although Shirley can also eat human food, her favorite is all kinds of unconscious souls condensed into soul gems, as long as she eats one, not only can her strength be slightly improved, but also not easy to go hungry.

Beta sat in his chair and watched Shirley run around with the soul gem in her hand, and then he remembered Bud's face and couldn't help but say, "Idiot." ”

Beta understood Bard's intentions, and the latter wanted to establish the faith of the rich district first, and then use the power of the rich district's pious nobles to raze the temple of Waukin.

It's just that Beta has already seen through his mind, and Beta can only laugh heartily at this plan.

Believers in the gods pay attention to the number of people and the quality of their personal beliefs. This will increase or decrease the strength of a god. As soon as Bard came, he simply abandoned the slums and went to the rich ones.

Those rich people have their own outlook on life and religion, and it is very difficult to convert them.

Beta was ready to sit and watch Bud's jokes. In Beta's estimate, in just two months, he would be able to turn all the commoners and paupers into believers, and the rest of the day would be much better. (To be continued.) )
