213. What is a rich woman?
After listening to the intention of the other side, Gallo was also overjoyed, and hurriedly invited the old woman to come in for a detailed discussion, and at the same time poked Lilian Luo and reminded:
"Go and pour Auntie a cappuccino!"
Lillian Loe secretly pouted, I'm 233 years old, right? It's hard to say who the aunt is...
And, where is there coffee at home? Isn't it just tea?
However, there are guests here, and she can't break Gallo's face, so she can only run out and find a way.
This kind of problem, you can only ask Amiya if there is a way.
Gallo, on the other hand, took the guests on a tour of the church with Miserland.
In fact, it stands to reason that Mithera should not be involved in this kind of thing at all, but should be avoided, after all, she is a member of the Divine Light Sect.
But neither she nor Gallo had any consciousness in this regard, and they really regarded it as their own.
After a brief round of wandering, the old woman still had a faint smile on her face, but she was muttering a little in her heart.
This church looks glamorous on the outside, but the interior decoration is too poor and sour, right?
There are basically no ornaments, no religious murals, and even a statue of a god, which is still blurry...
If she hadn't believed in Sir Donald's credibility, she might have turned around and left.
So for now, she has to continue to talk to this young man more...
"Your Excellency is really young and promising to take charge of a cathedral at such a young age!"
"Where, where, you have won the prize, I need to work harder."
Gallo replied.
This modest gesture made him gain some impression points, and the old woman nodded slightly, and continued:
"Hehe, what a modest young man!"
"But my old friend is full of praise for you, and praises you for your professionalism..."
"I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!"
The two chatted with each other.
As for Misserland, she looked stunned from the beginning, as if she had been stimulated by something, and she didn't know what was going on in her head.
Maybe he was poked stupid by Gallo?
Of course, it could also be that the old woman's words 'your children...' gave her a great shock, and it hasn't eased up yet, right?
After chatting for a while, the old woman gradually got to the point.
She is a merchant who mainly sells building stones, and she is also the kind of family that has been running for generations, and she has done a lot of things, with more than a dozen quarries and processing workshops under her name, and she is considered the most powerful stone merchant in the entire empire.
This time, I also saw the market rebuilt after the disaster of the city of innocence, so I rushed here in the name of disaster relief.
"In our industry, the competition is very fierce, and my main two competitors are rumored to like to use some dishonorable means..."
"In addition, I also heard through the grapevine that those heretics in the south and north also plan to get involved, and the situation behind the city of innocence may not be peaceful, so I pay special attention to personal safety."
By pagans, she meant people who believed in something other than God.
More specifically, she was talking about the steppe tribes to the north and the Visas to the south, as well as the non-human, intelligent races of elves and cavemen.
Among them, the Visates were the most 'infidels', and the fact that they founded their country on religion was incompatible with the orthodox religion in the empire.
At present, all Orthodox Christians have a clear stipulation in their teachings: No state should be established and no government should be involved.
This is a principled rule, a metaphorical order issued by the gods and angels after the melee of the gods is over.
It is difficult for future generations to figure out the true intention of this, and they can only make a rough guess, probably because the gods believed that faith should be more pure, and once the state was established and became involved with politics, it would inevitably deteriorate and become stinky, which would then lead to various disputes between Orthodox Christians.
Therefore, there is no concept of 'divine authority of kings' in this world, and imperial power and divine power are clearly separated.
How could a god on high allow his sect to become a tool for others to cut leeks?
Incidentally, the Miya sect doesn't actually have this explicit rule.
Of course, for a sect that currently has a total of 3 people and just over 300 believers, it is the same if there is such a rule...
In short, if you look at this **** Visa country in comparison, it will look particularly pagan.
And the god they believe in, Visa, is the legendary god in charge of darkness and dreams, and his position in the melee of the gods is unknown, and there is no information to verify, anyway, in the end, he was not beaten into an evil god, nor was he able to mix into a good god, and became a god who wandered on the edge of good and evil.
Therefore, his teachings are not as strict as those of the Orthodox Sect, they are much more relaxed, and the practices of his followers are naturally much more bold and unrestrained, and they often tolerate people such as necromancers and cursed warlocks who are not accepted by the world.
It is said that many wanted criminals of the empire would flee there and seek refuge.
Anyway, in Gallo's opinion, this group of heretics and cultists is almost the same, as long as they meet, they must be reborn.
It's just that the Visa Sect is far away from here, and the road in the middle is still very difficult to walk, and it is over mountains and swamps, so their people rarely appear in the City of Innocence, which makes Gallo feel quite regretful.
Haven't tried the pagan feel yet...
And now that the city of innocence has suffered two catastrophes, the power of the Orthodox Church has been greatly impacted, which has made more people want to move.
I don't know what is so good about this city, is it so attractive?
"Since we are worried that this group of heretics will threaten your safety, then we really need to cooperate!"
"This gang of scoundrels, everyone will be punished!"
Gallo said very sincerely.
The old woman nodded very seriously, and glanced at the maid beside her.
The maid walked quickly to the offering box and stuffed ten gold coins into it!
It seems that the old woman liked Gallo's jealous and hateful attitude.
And Gallo felt at once that the old woman had become much more kind!
Although the two have just met.
The old woman smiled and continued:
"I heard from my old friend that you're quite accomplished in enchantments? Exceptional? ”
"Hehe, I still have some experience in the aspect of enchantment, and the level should be a little stronger than the divine arts."
Gallo said very modestly.
"Good, good..."
The old woman nodded repeatedly, and then consulted with Gallo about the details of the follow-up.
To put it simply, she bought a new house in the city, hoping that Gallo would set up a protective barrier to ensure safety.
Finally, she asked quite implicitly:
"I just don't know if this kind of thing is troublesome, what kind of sincerity do I need to prepare?"
Gallo still didn't understand, but fortunately, Mithera next to him finally came back to his senses, and was not in a daze, and hurriedly whispered in his ear:
"She's asking how much you're going to charge..."
"Uh... How much should it normally be? ”
Gallo also lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.
This is the first time he has provided such security services, and the enchantment he installed on the shopkeeper's side before is mainly used to bless weapons, and the protection is only a side effect.
And his transaction with the shopkeeper, which involves a buyout and subsequent income, cannot be used as a reference standard for this time.
Of course, the contract he signed with the shopkeeper would not restrict other types of enchantments, it would only restrict the kind of automatic hardening blessing enchantment, so he could take this order normally.
And Gallo also pondered the psychological price, now that he is also a bishop, the city is also a little famous, and the number of believers has exceeded three hundred, so this fee must not be cheap!
If you go out to do the simplest consolation ceremony, you will receive 50 gold, half of which will go to the church and half will be deposited in the kitten piggy bank.
Then I arranged a more complicated enchantment, and according to the amount of four times the stupidity, it is too much to charge 200 gold, right?
Of course, the material cost is not included.
But after thinking about it for a while, Mithran leaned into his ear and whispered his own suggestion:
"It's the first time on the other side, Gallo, it's the first time you have received this kind of job, the fee should not be too high, I suggest a little lower to attract more people..."
"In that case, let's take 3,000 gold first, right?"
As soon as Gallo heard this price, the whole person was a little confused...
And Mithelan noticed the change in his expression, and thought that he was not satisfied with this amount, and hurriedly followed and persuaded:
"Don't be too little, the first charge, it really can't be too high..."
"If you really need money, I still have a kitten piggy bank at home."
Gallo shook his head again and again, and argued:
"No, that's not what I meant, it's just the price of three thousand gold..."
He was probably in a little anxious, and spoke a little louder, so that the old woman could hear it.
The old woman and the two maids beside her frowned at the same time.
This price is a fair and reasonable price, and it is almost the same price to go to the Divine Light Sect and ask someone to get such a set of enchantments.
But in terms of performance, it's just decent.
This is obviously not enough, this is a matter of life safety, of course, the stronger, the more upscale the better!
The old woman felt that Gallo's offer was simply insulting to herself.
So she tore off the veil of kindness and said with great seriousness:
"Bishop Gallo, I don't need any ordinary protection!"
"I want the best!"
Gallo tried to defend himself, but saw the old woman raise a finger.
"10,000 gold coins, give me the best!"
She directly tripled the price in one go, and blocked all of Gallo's objections back into her stomach with a bright gold coin.
This time it wasn't just Gallo, but even Misherland was stunned...
She probably didn't expect that a real rich woman would be so scary when she was serious...
But the old woman was not enough, and finally added:
"Of course, the cost of materials is calculated separately, this is your rule, I understand."
"If the barrier passes the test and the quality is excellent, I have an additional reward."
