Chapter 1: The Priest of the Town

Next Chapter

"Thy name, O my great Lord, may thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others. Do not let us fall into temptation, but save us from evil......"

In the early morning, the warm sun shines on the earth.

The small town of Nonorila ushered in a new day full of vitality.

In the ordinary little church that seemed to be everywhere in the small town of Nonorila, there was a childish but reverent chanting.

Looking into the chapel, a young man who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old stood in front of the pulpit, with a box at his feet, solemnly reading the Bible to the dozen or so believers who were sitting scattered in the church.

I don't know how long time has passed, the little boy's steady and tranquil voice echoed in this ordinary church, this somewhat immature voice seems to have magical power, listening to the little boy's prayer, the original chaotic emotions of the believers who sat down were gradually calmed down at this moment.

"May the light of our Lord always protect her followers!"

Slowly closing the somewhat worn Bible in his hand, the little boy raised his head and smiled at the believers in the audience, he raised his right hand and waved it gently, the divine power appeared in the little boy's hand, and a faint golden light shrouded the believers who listened to the chanting in the church.

Level 2 Divine Arts. Group blessings.

The warm light submerged into the bodies of these more than ten believers, and with the blessing technique falling, the spiritual outlook of these believers was significantly improved.

"Thank you for your explanation, Dear Father Edward!"

Although the young boy was young, he obviously had a high prestige in this church, and at the end of today's prayer, all the believers bowed to the young man named Edward with respect, and then left this ordinary little church.

Smiling as he watched the last believer walk out of the church, the little boy finally let out a long breath, his expression visibly much lighter.

And at this moment, a bright and soft goose-yellow sphere jumped out of nowhere and jumped directly on top of the little boy's head.

The next moment, a crisp girlish voice appeared in the little boy's heart.

"Goo!" [Edward, you seem to be adapting well?] (-▽-)】

Edward raised his hand and hugged the soft orb on his head into his arms, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Lord God? Do you have time to follow me? ”

It has been ten days since Edward was sent to this world by the gods, and in these ten days, Edward has gone from being surprised and dazed at the beginning to now integrating into his role and becoming the master of the ancient subtheological church in this small city.

In contrast to the ancient gods who gave Edward new life, Edward offered his faith to the great god.

However, after hearing the words of the ancient Ya god, Edward, a believer in the ancient Ya god who should have been excited, calmed down a little strangely, he just chuckled and looked at the "god incarnation" in his arms, and Edward found that there was a faint expectation in his heart for his own god's question.

"Goo!" [In the past few days, Edward, have you preached the prestige of this great god, well, you have done a good job, but in ten days, you have gained the faith of hundreds of people, worthy of the regional archbishop I fancied, Edward, you are really a genius who is a priest! (´∀`o)】

The god-sama's voice was quite complacent, as if he was quite satisfied that he had unearthed Edward, the seedling of the priest.

"I didn't do anything. The people of this small town are very simple, as long as we treat them sincerely, they will give us something in return. Edward's voice was a little emotional, thinking back to his former world, there were few people as simple as the people of this small town where Edward stayed now.

The town is a beautiful place, Edward thought so.

Edward only performed a healing technique to some townspeople for free in the name of the ancient Ya god cult in the small town, and Edward gained hundreds of devout believers.

"Goo!" [Edward, you're doing a good job, keep it up.] I'm sure you'll be able to dominate the region soon, but until then. Edward, as your god, the Great God must warn you that you are running out of money, and if you don't want the children you adopt to start starving in two days, you'd better think of a way to make money. ( ̄3 ̄)】

The god-sama's kind reminder made Edward slightly stunned.

During these ten days, Edward adopted five street children in the small town, perhaps because there is also a "patriarchal" mentality in this world, and the five street children adopted by Edward are all young girls.

The eldest of them, Jessica, is seven years old, and the youngest, Lucia, is only one year old.

Is it because there are more people and more mouths to eat, so the funds are not enough? Edward scratched his head a little embarrassed, after being busy these days, Edward really didn't notice that there was a problem with the church's funding.

"Goo." [Edward, you don't think there's a lot of money in the church, do you? Edward, you love to spend money too much. The Great God knows that you will be tempted to scatter your wealth when you see those living in poverty, but before Edward becomes a wealth boy, you must first make a plan for your own use of funds. (~ ̄▽ ̄)~】

Well, that's why. Edward nodded in understanding, and then he was even more embarrassed, he really didn't think much about money.

Edward used to live in a well-off family, although the family is not rich but it cannot be said to be poor, at least for Edward it is enough for him to live, and Edward's personality makes him not have much comparability, and because of this, Edward has never worried about his wealth.

But now it seems that Edward needs to plan his funds, after all, he is now in charge of a church.

Of course, in order to prevent the little girls he adopted from going hungry, Edward had to find a way to make some extra money first.

In fact, with Edward's ability to expand the believers, the donations sent by the believers to the church were actually enough, but who let the previous Edward scatter money without moderation, at least this week, if Edward does not find a job to make a fortune, then the life of this small church will be sad.

"Goo." [It's a pity that the power of faith given by the believers can't be exchanged for gold, otherwise Edward, you can get through these few days.] o(TヘTo)】

There was a hint of pity in the god's voice, in fact, if Edward collected money for the treatment of patients, he would be able to make a good fortune in this small city.

However, it's a pity that because he can't see the poor patients in the slums, Edward has recently smashed all his daily share of healing in the slums of the small town, and what's even more excessive is that Edward's treatment doesn't cost money, not to mention, this guy even pays for those poor poor patients to buy medicine!

This is one of the reasons why Edward's church coffers are shrinking at an accelerated rate.

"During the day, I'm going to see people in the South District, so I can only look to see if there are any tasks to do at night...... In the evening I'll go to the mercenary union in the town to see if there's any work. ”

"Goo." [Edward is really trying. O(∩_∩)O】

"All to spread your glory to the world!" Edward said calmly, but the great and noble god Guya knew that her new adopter was not at peace.

Edward's mood at this time can even be described as surging!

It was Edward's goal to let the light of the gentle and great god of the ancient gods shine on the whole world, to let all the intelligent beings in this starry sky know about this noble being, and to let all intelligent beings bask in the glory of this noble one.

As the regional archbishop appointed by the gods, Edward always believed that he would achieve this goal!
