Chapter 70: The Archbishop's Visit
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door, and the maid and the black dragon glanced at each other, put down the fork in their hand, and shouted, "Please come in!"
Jingle bells!
A man pushed the door open and walked in, and saw a cake on the counter, as well as a person and a dragon sitting behind the counter.
Under the gaze of the maid and the black dragon, the middle-aged woman dressed as a priest leaned down slightly and saluted, "Reina, the 'shepherd' of the 'Daughter of the Earth', has seen the two. ”
This is a priest of the goddess of agriculture, and although she is dressed modestly, the priests of the Church of the goddess of agriculture are dressed in much the same way.
Mother Earth gave birth to the goddess of agriculture, and after giving birth to the goddess of agriculture, she gave half of her priesthood and godhead to her children, after which Mother Earth lived in seclusion, and after the fall of the gods, few people were able to find her traces, and in these 800 years, there were only about three or four times in front of people.
Unlike the Mother Earth Goddess, Emely, the goddess of agriculture who inherited her mother's divine power and priesthood, established her own holy city in the Principality of the Eagle, but she often lived in the holy city for less than half a year in a year.
She is a god who walks on the earth and brings the gospel of a good harvest to the people. —Excerpt from Chapter 11 of The Name of the Goddess, 'The Lady of Abundance'.
As long as there is a human city, there will be a temple of the goddess of agriculture, and Wende City is naturally no exception, so the maid recognized this middle-aged woman at a glance as the priest of the goddess of agriculture.
"Greetings, Archbishop Reina. The maid stood up and saluted, then gestured to the chair in front of the counter, "Please be seated." ”
Archbishop Rena was slightly startled at the sight of the 'lonely' chair, and then smiled wryly, apparently they had expected him to come.
"Bishop Leonardo of the Sadwind Territory has mentioned this to me......" Archbishop Rena said with a wry smile and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I didn't believe Bishop Leonardo's words, I think he was lying, and I think I'm going to apologize to him personally after this." ”
Then, Archbishop Rena took a deep breath, faced the maid and the black dragon, and pleaded: "Lord Duke Cervantes, Master Serena Maid, I hope that you will teach us that technique of increasing crop yields—although I know that this is a very unreasonable request, and I know that this knowledge can sell for a great price, but we are willing to pay a lot of money, if you can teach us this technique...... Please!"
Archbishop Rena bowed her head, and her attitude was very sincere.
Cervantes's eyes lit up when he heard Archbishop Reina's words, 'willing to pay a lot of money', and he wanted to extort a sum of money with joy, but before he could put the idea into action, the maid could already see what he wanted to do.
The maid slapped him on the arm, and then looked at him with an unkind face.
The black dragon twisted his head to the side, this was an opportunity to make a lot of money, even if he might be treated by the maid in the future, he would not give up this opportunity easily!
The maid gritted her teeth, reached out and pulled Cervantes' head back, then glared angrily.
A mere trembling Cervantes dared to go against the will of the head maid!
Opening her mouth to bite Cervantes' upper lip, the maid glared at the black dragon's vertical pupils until a look of retreat appeared in his eyes, and then she let go of her teeth.
The cunning black dragon pounced, hugged the maid's slender waist, licked the maid's teeth with her flexible tongue, and did not let go when the maid punched her flank.
Angry, the maid stepped on the black dragon's toes, and then bit the tip of his tongue with her teeth, and finally felt the pain of the black dragon's tears were about to come out - half pain, half excitement!
The black dragon finally let go of his hand, so the maid naturally let go of her mouth.
Gasping slightly, the maid glared at the black dragon with annoyed eyes, and Cervantes turned his gaze to the side.
With a soft snort, the maid tidied up her clothes, after all, Archbishop Rena was still here.
Although Archbishop Rena must know what they are doing, as long as they are not seen, they can deny it, and Archbishop Rena will not expose them at such a time.
"Archbishop Rena, please keep your head up. ”
Archbishop Rena heard Serena's voice, took a deep breath, looked up, and saw the 'Master Maid' with a slightly red face, and the disheveled 'Lord Duke'.
She asked quietly, "Master maid, are you ......?"
"Yes!"
The maid smiled and nodded, "I can teach those techniques to your church, but I have one condition. ”
Archbishop Rena looked happy and nodded: "You can mention the conditions, as long as it does not exceed our bottom line, we can all agree." ”
"Please give us some high-quality food crop seeds and some cash crop seeds, and help us promote the sad wind collar!"
Hearing the maid's condition, Archbishop Rena was stunned for a moment, what kind of condition is this? She still understands the former condition, but she is a little confused about the latter condition.
Then she heard the maid add: "We are too short of people in the Sorrowful Wind Territory, it would be nice if some people could relocate there, if you want to develop the territory, population is a key, we can't count on those nobles who are lazy and lazy, only the people can create value." If a family in a territory hears the propaganda and is willing to move to the Sad Wind Territory, then it adds up to a large number. Moreover, the goddess of agriculture is very reputable and popular among the common people, as long as you are willing to promote it for us, then the population of the Sadwind Leader will get a considerable increase. ”
Archbishop Rena nodded as if he didn't understand it entirely, but it was enough for them to be able to truthfully promote the Sadwind Leader according to the head maid's introduction, and all they could get were the agricultural techniques that Bishop Leonardo had mentioned as 'improving the land'.
The goddess of agriculture has always been troubled by the existing grain production, and even if the grain seeds are improved, the requirements for the land will increase.
Food crops that can massively increase yields without consuming a lot of nutrients are simply against the laws of nature, and even if the druids could study them, they wouldn't have studied them – not to mention that they couldn't!
That's why Archbishop Rena was so excited when she heard the news about the increase in food production in the Sadwind Collar, because she remembered the incident that Bishop Leonardo had mentioned.
Although she was also a little annoyed when she remembered it, she was annoyed that she had not listened to Bishop Leonardo, and had reprimanded him for not telling such lies.
But the result was not bad, otherwise she would have to go to the goddess of agriculture in person to ask for punishment for her crimes.
Even if the goddess of agriculture could not bear to punish her because of her kindness, her own heart would be ashamed and tormented by guilt.
Archbishop Rena breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled, "If that's all there is to it, then I can promise you now." ”
"Thank you very much, then!" said the maid, standing up and bowing.
Archbishop Rena also stood up and saluted, "We should say thank you." ”
The maid watched Archbishop Rena leave, then glared at the unhappy Cervantes, pointed her finger at the stupid dragon's head, and said fiercely: "Are you unhappy? Are you reasonable? Do you know how much value the people and those crops can create? How much gold can you earn? You take money from them, and you still have to spend it later, but do you know how much more taxes you can get when the population of the Sadwind Territory increases? What are you not happy about?
Heilong thought about it, the money really can't reach his hands, so he will definitely spend it later, so why are he so angry?
With his arithmetic ability, he can't calculate how much he can earn, but he should be able to make a lot, right?
The black dragon who had figured it out instantly became happy and grinned.
Then the maid glared at him again, "What are you laughing at, the money that was about to arrive was almost gone, if I hadn't stopped you, do you know how much we would have lost?"
Cervantes stared at the maid in a daze, not knowing what to say.
