Chapter 52: Cherishing the Heart and the Shrine

On June 1, 135 New Calendar, Maier officially received the Great Shrine Maiden Zhenxin at Byronsburg. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At the reception, Zhenxin, who is the protagonist, didn't say much.,It's basically the long witch who came with her talking.。

“…… We hope that Lord Maier will think about the people of the territory and provide more financial and material support to the shrine to bring more well-being to the people. ”

The words of this long witch maiden made the great witch Ling Yu of the new shrine of Byronsburg turn dark, and before Maier could answer, Ling Yu said in an unkind tone.

"Do you mean to hold more celebrations with the funds and materials of Lord Myer?"

"Celebrations bring joy to the people and are good for the stability of the territory, so why not?" The Elder Witch replied with a smile.

"I don't deny the role of celebrations, but celebrations are not a panacea."

Ling Yu looked at the gorgeous decorations on the long witch maiden with a cold face, and smiled disdainfully.

"When the people come to a celebration with sickness and ragged clothes, it is nothing more than a moment of joy, and after the joy is emptiness. If your society really has the heart to benefit the people, it is better to sell all the useless decorations on the witch's clothes, distribute the money from the sale to the poor, and then send the witch to various places to treat the people free of charge, so that the people will not be disturbed by the disease, and they will naturally sing praises for your society. ”

Lingyu was born at Satomi Shrine. Unlike other Irajin Shrines, Riya Shrine had to be self-reliant after the cataclysm and could no longer be supported by the ruling class. The shrine maidens at the shrine do some menial work to support others or themselves, so they look down on Iraa Shrine, who is dependent solely on the ruling class and does not know how to be self-reliant.

Although the shrine is corrupt, it is at least doing practical things. The shrine maidens of Riya Shrine regularly visit the territory to heal the sick, as do the shrine maidens who are stationed in the village of Twenty-nine. The Witch Maiden is responsible for logistics, the Witch Maiden is responsible for protecting the territory and the people, and the Witches perform their duties and build the territory quite stable. If it weren't for the Black Shrine, the Rima Shrine wouldn't have collapsed all at once. But then again, if it weren't for the Black Shrine, the shrine wouldn't have been able to grow to the size it was in 133 of the new calendar.

And Rimi Shrine has the black history of the Black Shrine.,This black history is not caused by Lingyu.,And it has nothing to do with the vast majority of the shrine maidens of Rimi Shrine.。 Until the truth is revealed, the shrine maidens of Riya Shrine have always felt that they are the best Iraa shrine maidens in the new world, stronger than any shrine maiden of Iraa Shrine. When Kamijin Shrine condemned Rimi Shrine, Satomi Shrine didn't even ignore them because they didn't look down on Kamijin Shrine at all.

"Lord Lingyu, this witch costume represents the honor of the great god of the world, how can you say that the decorations on the witch costume are useless?"

The long witch knew that she couldn't talk about Ling Yu in theory, so she changed the topic and wanted to buckle Ling Yu with an ungodly hat. Ling Yu smiled disdainfully when she heard her question, and then suddenly said with a straight face.

"Who do you think you are? What are you wearing? How can the honor of the great god of the world be represented by mortals with mortal things?! You're blaspheming! ”

When Ling Yu said this, Lan Xian was standing behind her. Although she served in the army, the identity of Ira's shrine maiden was still there, and she was still Lingyu's personal follower. At the reception, Lan Xian wore a long witch costume, with leather armor on the outside of the long witch dress, tied her hair into a ponytail with a thin rope, and carried a sword around her waist, looking heroic.

As soon as Ling Yu's words fell, Lan Xian drew his sword and wanted to correct the blasphemous shrine chief shrine maiden on the spot. How could Mel let her kill someone at the reception? The moment Lan Xian pulled out his sword, Maier quickly constructed a magic arrow and accurately broke Lan Xian's sword.

There are also war witch guards on the side of Kamijin Shrine, but their reaction is still half a beat slower. In order to express his trust in Kamijin Shrine, Maier specially allowed the war witches to bring weapons to the reception, so the war witches carried swords. The guards on the side of Byronsburg were afraid that the war witches at the shrine would hurt their high-ranking personnel, so they immediately stepped forward to protect them.

The long witch was born as a witch maiden, she had no combat power herself, and she was timid, and the moment Lan Xian drew her sword, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't move. Zhenxin, who was sitting next to her, just let out a surprised "huh", not understanding what was going on at all.

"Calm down!"

Just then, Mel let out a loud shout. The war witch and the guards heard his voice and subconsciously stopped moving. Zhenxin, who didn't know why, was startled by his voice, and tears fell down, and the pitiful grievance greatly eased the tense atmosphere of the scene.

"Uh...... This one...... I'm sorry, Lady Witch. ”

Maier didn't expect that his shouting would scare the great witch of the shrine into tears, so he could only apologize honestly to the other party. Jane looked at Maier pitifully with big watery eyes and asked timidly.

"I ...... Am I doing something wrong? ”

"No, Lady Witch, you haven't done anything wrong."

"That'...... Then why are you yelling at me......"

"Uh...... This one...... Lady Witch, I'm sorry for scaring you. But you misunderstood me, I just said that to my subordinates, not to yell at you. ”

“…… Are you sure? ”

Zhenxin blinked her eyes like a frightened little animal, and she couldn't help but feel a desire to protect her.

"That's true."

Maier replied solemnly. After receiving an affirmative answer from Myer, Jane breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her towering breasts.

"Whew...... It scared me to death, I thought I had made a mistake again. ”

She took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the tears and tear stains on her face, took out a small mirror and looked at it, rubbing her eyes, and said to herself.

"Hmm...... Pay attention to the image...... Pay attention to the image...... Otherwise, I'll be scolded again......"

Speaking of general, she realized that she had spoken her heart, covered her mouth in shock, and her eyes widened. The small mirror and handkerchief that she had held in her hand before fell off, the handkerchief fell on her knee, and the small mirror rolled down her thigh and shattered with a thud.

"Oh!"

Zhenxin heard the sound of the mirror being shattered, her hands were raised in the air at a loss, her mouth opened in an "O" shape, and her two eyes looking at the ground widened.

This series of off-line actions made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere at the reception was completely eased. Only Lan Xian, who was broken by Meier, picked up the sword in a sullen manner, carefully put it back into its scabbard, and then stood back in its original position.

After that, the chief shrine maiden of Kamijin Shrine hastily ended the reception on the grounds that Zhen was not feeling well. That evening, she came alone to visit Maier's house with a small wooden box. The small wooden box contained Ira's sword gold, and judging by its weight, there were at least three hundred pieces.

Three hundred Iraa swords of gold are equivalent to three hundred Iraa coins, which is not a small amount of money. About one-third of this money was used by Wei Lin to buy the shrine maiden of Kamijin Shrine, and the rest was saved by Kamijin Shrine.

In fact, even if the festival is held every month, there is a limit to the amount of money that Kamijin Shrine can spend on the festival. Moreover, Kamijin Shrine not only takes money from Wellin, but also receives donations from some wealthy people who believe in religion. Eighty percent of the remaining money was privately swallowed by the former Great Witch, and the remaining two percent was divided by the Great Witch to the chief witch under his command. After the Great Witch was killed, the Witches managed to find the hole where she was hiding her money, and then divided the money.

Since Byron Fort has a newer shrine that is more popular with the people, the status of the shrine will undoubtedly be shaken. The long witches were afraid that Maier would kill them all, and then let the new shrine swallow up the Kamijin Shrine, so they spit out all the money they swallowed, and wanted to use the money to buy their own lives.

In fact, they have prepared two sets of plans. If Maier had agreed to give them more money at the reception, then Maier would not have received the money. But this matter was not negotiated because of Ling Yu, and Lan Xian almost killed the long witch who came to negotiate, and the long witch felt that her life was threatened, so she implemented the second plan and sent the money to Meier.

In fact, Maier did want the new shrine to swallow the shrine, but he had no intention of killing anyone. If the Great Shrine Maiden and the Long Shrine Maiden of Kamijin Shrine do not cooperate, he will forcibly make them leave their posts and will not take their lives. But the long witches were already frightened by Wei Lin, and you must know that Wei Lin not only gave them money when he bought these long witches, but also threatened them with force. Wei Lin said that if they didn't listen to him, their heads would have to move, and the long witches were scared, so they obeyed Wei Lin's order and killed the former great witch.

Except for the assassination of the Great Witch and the embezzlement of public funds, these Elder Witches felt that they had not made any major mistakes, at most they were just greedy for pleasure and inaction. But for the long witch, inaction is already a great sin. Maier didn't know much about the situation at Kamijin Shrine, but the fact that the long witch had given him a bribe was enough to make Maier determined to drive them out of Kamijin Shrine.

As for the bribe, Maier naturally had to accept it. The Witch obviously wanted to buy her own and her companions' lives with money, and Maier had no intention of killing them in the first place, just in time to make a fortune and reduce Pershing's pressure. The witch did not know that she had given a sum of money to Mel for nothing, and when she learned that Melken would not kill herself and her companions, but would give them a sum of money so that they could live a normal life, she left Mel's residence with great gratitude.

Maier did not let them leave their jobs, because he knew that these long witches were not young, and their bodies would age rapidly once they left. Today, Maier is able to understand a woman's mind and know the importance of appearance to a woman. He didn't want to push these long witches too hard, so he didn't let them leave, but just kicked them out of Kamijin Shrine.

Before leaving, the mysterious and mysterious Maier of the Witch Goddess said that Zhenxin was just a puppet they had raised, and that if Maier did not like her, she could be abolished at any time. Maier was not blind, and at the reception he saw that Zhenxin had no real power. But it's better this way, Zhenxin seems to be very talkative, as long as she is convinced, the new shrine can annex Kamijin Shrine without resistance.

On June 2, the shrine maidens of Kamijin Shrine left their hearts in Byronsburg and left Byronsburg with several shrine maidens of the new shrine. Maier gave Pershing the bribe money from Kamijin Shrine and asked him to take out a dozen Ira money from the library according to the number of shrine maidens of Kamijin Shrine and give it to the chief shrine maiden of the new shrine.

When the shrine maidens leave the shrine according to Mel's instructions, the shrine shrine shrine priestesses will give them money, and each of them will always have Ira's money. The long witch who had left her post took the money and hurriedly fled from the territory of Bairensburg and came to the original five towns in the northern part of Shangjin County. These long witches fled all the way, and they didn't know how to save when they spent money, and when they arrived in Shaobei Town, they had little money left.

At this time, the long witches saw the recruitment notice of the "Ercao Wine Workshop". These long shrine maidens are all about making wine, but they are so skilled that they don't even consider it their job anymore. They can support themselves when they see that they can make wine, how can they let go of such a good thing? The dozen or so people followed the address on the notice to the Ercao Wine Shop in Shaobei Town, and saw a woman with only one left arm interviewing two candidates.

The one-armed woman seemed to want only journeymen, so both test takers failed. When the long witches saw that the opportunity had come, they hurried up to meet them, and said to the one-armed women that the dozen or so of them were skilled workers, and if they didn't believe it, they could be tested. The men were all dressed in civilian clothes, and the one-armed woman didn't know that they were Ira's shrine maidens, so she casually asked a few questions about brewing shrine sake, and they all answered.

The one-armed woman was amazed and asked who they were. The dozen or so people hesitated for a while, and finally told the one-armed woman their true identities. The one-armed woman was even more surprised, and she immediately took in the dozen or so Ira shrine maidens and asked them to brew another kind of shrine sake in the same way as Kamijin Shrine. This sake is named "Kamijin Brewery", and together with "Ercao Brewing", it has become the main product of Ercao Brewery.
