Chapter 639: Valrhona's Thoughts

As long as it is the forces of the Eagle Plateau, there is not a single one who does not know Passus, even if they have not dealt with Passus, they have more or less heard of this name. And for everyone on the Eagle Plateau, Passus is a force that cannot be provoked casually, and the Pashanon family is a fierce god. The corpse of the Shining Gold Empire, the Glorious Nation, is still in front of everyone, one after the other, fully showing the others what will happen to those who go to trouble the Pashanon Mens family and those who are troubled by the Pashanon Mens family.

Count Violet was not a fool, and of course had heard about the Pashanomensian family and Passus. In fact, many forces on the Eagle Plateau are well aware, although they don't say it explicitly. But Passus had already become independent of the Skar Confederation, a veritable independent kingdom. And on the Klein Continent, those who have the courage to do this are either stupid enough or strong enough. Judging by the current situation, Passus clearly falls into the latter category. In this way, he immediately understood why Jenn had such a reaction -- regardless of size, in terms of status alone, he was the king of a country. And in the face of the existence of the supreme ruler of an independent territory, almost equivalent to the king of a small kingdom, Mason's performance can indeed be said to be extremely rude. It can even be said that if Jenn directly reveals this identity, then it is only natural that Mason will be killed. After all, he is a nobleman, but he is still a big nobleman, and such an identity should be respected and revered everywhere.

Just killed Count Violet, but he didn't expect that this lord was actually a diocesan bishop at the same time! Now it's all right. He now has to either choose to fill the historic void in the Eagle Plateau charge of "assaulting a diocesan bishop". Either choose the option "Provoke and attack the lord of Passus, and obediently wait for the revenge of the Pashanomens............

This is how people can have fun together!

"I'm very sorry. My lord, I don't know ............."

At this time, Count Violet could no longer pretend to be arrogant as before. He bowed his head respectfully, looking terrified. It's no wonder that even if Passus is not an independent territory, Jenn is still a lord. And he is just a city lord, and the identities of the two sides are different. Not to mention that Pachanon is famous, Count Violet is really afraid that Jenn will be unhappy and directly destroy Violet City, and then the lord will definitely not go to Jenn's trouble, but will come to clean up his anger. If that's the case, then it's a loss to the lady and a soldier. Naturally, Count Violet would not do such a thing. So, he quickly understood what choice he should make.

"I'll go back and cut off that fool's hand at once, and rest assured, I won't allow such a faux pas even from my son! My lord, I'll go .................. now."

"Why don't you get out of here?"

"Yes, yes............!!"

Hearing Jenn's words, this time the Count Violet did not burst into a rage, on the contrary. He nodded as if he had been amnestied, and then left the room without looking back, not forgetting to slowly close the door, for fear of angering the fierce god with a little noise. There was silence throughout the study. It wasn't until the hurried footsteps in the hallway died down that Jenn snorted, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Irnest and Lindy, on the other hand, continue to help the owner sort out the materials. It doesn't look weird.

Only Valrhona stood behind Jenn in a daze, completely unsure of how to react. She couldn't see it, though. But from the conversation between the two just now, Valrhona had already imagined this scene. But this made Valrhona more and more unacceptable. You must know that when Count Violet first knew that Jenn was the bishop of the diocese, he was very arrogant. even dared to slap the table with him and stare at him, but when Jenn revealed his identity as a nobleman, the fierce nobleman was like a chicken seeing an eagle, and suddenly became a different person. This made Valrhona unable to understand why things had turned out the way they were.

"Valrhona, what are you thinking?"

And at this time, Jenn's voice rang out. Hearing his inquiry, Valrhona was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook her head.

"It's nothing, my lord, I'm just ............"

"You just don't understand why that stupid pig dared to yell at me when he knew I was a diocesan bishop, but after knowing my nobility, he became a bear?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Valrhona didn't say anything to Jenn's inquiry, but just noddedβ€”in fact, it was the biggest question in her heart. Seeing Valrhona's movements, Jenn chuckled, then he reached out and pushed his glasses before he answered.

"In fact, in most places, the local nobility is not very reverent of the Templars."

"Why?"

"Because of the money."

To Valrhona's second question, Jenn answered it very directly.

"You know, Valrhona, it's people who make up the temple, and so do the clergy, they need to eat and drink, and knights need to maintain their equipment and feed their horses. All of this requires money, and where does it come from? By the donations of the lower classes of believers alone? Valrhona, you also know very well that most of the believers in the temple are poor, they themselves can't eat enough many times, and they still need the temple to help them, what to donate? Merchants are profitable, and they will pretend at best, but they will not spend enough money to fill the bottomless pit of the temple. You must know that businessmen value profits, and it is fundamental to have a return on pay. Therefore, for most temples, nobles became the best donors. And most of the nobles were not short of money, and they also aspired to gain a good image by donating to the temple. Because of this, they will donate a lot of wealth to the temple, of course, there are many people who truly believe in the gods, but there are also many guys like Count Violet who are not interested in the temple. ”

"But believing in gods is good for everyone, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Valrhona became more and more unable to understand why some people were so resistant to believing in gods, and in her opinion, at least those gods would respond to the devout prayers of the believers to help them eliminate or avoid calamity. Isn't that a good thing?

"It's just the majority of people, but it's not good for everyone. Moreover, many nobles do not have any reverence for the temple because of this, because they think that these temples live on their own donations, so they naturally have to be polite to themselves, so as long as they are not really mad enough to be in the company of cultists, then the temple will probably give them some face, and they will not worry too much about some small things. That's why that fool dared to come to me and slap the table, Violet City is one of the cities in the Eagle Plateau that donates a lot, and if I am only the bishop of the diocese, then of course the Count Violet needs not be afraid of me. In fact, if he threatens me that I don't plan to donate the next year's donation, then we're screwed. We're not cultists, Valrhona. If we can't get enough donations, do we have to learn from the cultists to steal and rob them? And that's what the fat pig priest did, and what was the result............ You've seen it by now, too. ”

To this, Jenn just shrugged his shoulders and gave an answer.

"In fact, there are many times when the gods simply can't pay attention to what is happening below, and if it weren't for Old Peter, if I hadn't appeared, then he would have only one fate, and that was to spend a miserable time in prison. But will the gods appear at this time and kill the fat pig with a thunderbolt? No, because it is impossible for the god of harvest to even know these things. But my nobility is different, and my merits are just around the corner compared to those ethereal gods. Everybody knows that I've provoked me -- Jenn. Pashanon Mens, provoke Passus, what will be the consequences of provoking the Pashanon family. But they did not know if they would be punished if they violated the teachings of the temple. Therefore, in the face of foreseeable risks and unpredictable risks, they chose the former......... After all, they know what the consequences will be if they do so, not the future. ”

At this point, Jenn paused, then he looked at Valrhona and spoke word by word.

"You see, Valrhona, even a king, if he sat in the palace every day, could not have known everything that was happening in his country. And if he doesn't go out for a walk and see for himself, then not only will he not know what is happening in his country, but even his impression of his country will come entirely from the stories of those ministers. Not to mention the gods, and the gods are not on the same plane as us at all, they may be able to look at us from afar, but they can't see everything that each of us does every day, and sometimes they don't even know anything. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

In the face of Jenn's words, Valrhona did not answer, she just frowned, gritted her teeth, and thought silently. In the past, when she was in the Frozen City and the Holy White Tower, she didn't need to care about that. At that time, for Valrhona, all she had to do every day was simple, just pray. But now, Valrhona finally understands that even in the frozen city, the food she eats and the clothes she wears are not gifts from the gods. And the temple was far from being as pure and immaculate as she had imagined.

What's wrong with this world?

For a moment, Valrhona fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
