Chapter 131: Dilemma and Restlessness (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
As soon as he figured this out, Xiao Baiyan's entire back was wet with cold sweat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes... Right, right.. Right... I'm sorry, Mistress Christie, I... I, I... I. He wanted to apologize, but under the tremendous pressure, he didn't listen to his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.
"Alright, it's not too early, and Lord Morris should go back early." Christie waved his hand and told him to hurry away, really, it was a must for a nobleman to waste him like this.
"Yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go." As soon as he heard that Christie asked him to go, he hurriedly ran to the door, probably too panicked, and actually fell directly at the door and ate.
The guards on the side quickly lifted him up, and disappeared in front of everyone without looking back.
This move made everyone present laugh. Among them, Sim was the most exaggerated, and the whole person was lying on the table laughing.
"Hahaha, haha, this person definitely has a future as a clown, haha, I'm laughing to death."
The others weren't much better, even Cruise couldn't help it, although it wasn't a good thing, but, whatever it was, he could do such a funny thing, and he wouldn't let him laugh.
When everyone was laughing, Cruise took his leave, and he could see that Bishop Christie had something to do with Solam, and that he had already seen a good show by staying here, and that it would be annoying to stay any longer.
When Cruise left with the vigilantes, Harris didn't leave, he had come to the banquet in the first place, so he didn't follow.
"Solam, I think we should talk." It was only after everyone was gone that Christie spoke.
"Then let's talk, today you can be regarded as a small favor for me, as long as it is not too much, I will promise you." Solam could probably guess what the hostess was trying to say.
"It's about the corpse of the canine demon." Christie looked around, she would have preferred to have a private conversation with Soram, so that there would be something to say.
"You want to buy it? No problem, as long as you pay for it, take it. "Solam was not surprised, and only the corpse of the dog demon could alarm the bishop to come here at night.
"This... The temple is a little ... Tight on money, you know, these days, in order to help those villagers who survive the winter, our temple has been a bit overturned, so I'm going to exchange it with you with the magic scroll, but the value of the scroll is a bit ...... It's not as good as the corpse of the dog demon" Christie was a little embarrassed, after all, it was a bit embarrassing for such a large temple to not be able to come up with money, but who told the temple that the financial situation was about to collapse, and the money was used to help the villagers who spent the winter.
Over the years, Christie has been living a smooth life, never worried about money, in fact, she had no concept of money before.
And the temple's current predicament is largely because of her, other temples will also help those villagers survive the winter, but they are not like the Dawn Temple, spending money lavishly, although it has gathered a lot of popularity in a short period of time and expanded the prestige of the temple, but it has also put the operation of the temple in a difficult situation.
After knowing that Solam had captured a canine demon, Christie had no choice but to hit this idea, she was going to use her connections to sell the canine demon's corpse at a high price to supplement the temple's finances, but she didn't plan to buy and sell it by force.
Solam knew the current situation of the Dawn Temple, but it would be a great loss not to receive any of the magic materials that he cherished. Besides, the fact that the Temple of Dawn has been able to get to this point is entirely due to Christie's mismanagement, and she actually distributed food to all the villagers.
Isn't that a fool's errand? Even if you want to do good deeds, you have to do what you can, there is nothing wrong with distributing food to the villagers, but this can't be generalized, there are many villagers who actually have food in stock, and you don't need relief at all, you just give it to those who really need it, but to everyone, isn't that more money burning? And if you send it, there's no reason why others shouldn't want it.
Although he complained a little about Christie's business level, Solam didn't have any ill feelings towards this woman, she was finally doing good deeds, although a little naΓ―ve.
So Solam happily agreed, and it was considered a good deed for Solam, "No problem, the Divine Scroll is the Divine Scroll." β
Hearing this, Christie breathed a sigh of relief, with the corpse of the canine demon, Christie could finally let the temple survive this winter, although the name is a bit unpleasant, the temple makes money by selling the corpses of evil demons, but Christie can't care so much.
At the same time, she also understood why the church leaders would let her come to this place to be a bishop, this is her experience, so that she should not take everything for granted, and make a decision with a pat on the head, and the facts have proved that the church's arrangement is correct.
"Thank you, Soram, the temple will remember your contributions." Christie handed Soram a pack of magic scrolls and said so, after all, she still had a lot to do.
Teemo hadn't left, and he was going to stay and eat with Soram and the others.
It was Carl, the profiteer, who was a little distressed, "I said Ram, why are you so stupid, you have lost a lot, the corpse of that dog demon can be sold for at least 30,000 gold coins, and now you have exchanged a few magic scrolls, I knew that you might as well sell it to me." β
Soram hasn't spoken yet, Fia is gone, she is Christie's brainless fan, "Uncle Carl, why are you thinking about money, Soram is doing good things for Christie!" β
Teemo couldn't sit still, although it was true that Soram had lost money in making this deal, but can kindness be measured in money?
"That's right, Uncle Karl, Soram is doing a good deed, and everyone who is helped will remember Solam."
Carl just pouted, but didn't refute them, not that he thought what the two haired children said made sense, but that he didn't bother to argue with them, those people would remember Solam? Pull it down, thank God for remembering your Dawn Temple.
Soram saw that their atmosphere was a little tense, so he immediately began to make peace with the mud, and quickly livened up the atmosphere again, when he was so happy, there was no need to quarrel over a trivial matter.
This night, although some people disturbed, everyone was still very happy, especially the last performance of Little White Face, which was enough for everyone to laugh for several days.
****
Just as Solam was having a banquet, in the depths of the Forest of the Silver Moon, in the camp of the Ogre Broken Bone Tribe, an uninvited guest came.
This strange man, who was wrapped in black, swaggered into the ogre's camp, and the ogres who were walking around him as if they hadn't seen it at all, let him slowly walk into the largest tent in the camp.
There was an ogre old man in the tent whose whole body was painted with oil paint, and as soon as the strange man in black entered the tent, the ogre old man noticed him, and the old ogre looked at the man in black with a strange look, hatred, fear, and expectation.
"Why are you here?" The ogre old man looked at the man in black for a while, and said a little dryly.
"Look how you're doing. By the way, let's see how the mission that the Lord gave you is accomplished, how? Not welcome? The words in the black's mouth seemed to be greeting, but his voice did not fluctuate at all, as if the person who spoke had no emotion at all, which was extremely strange.
"Welcome? Do you think I should welcome you? If it weren't for you, how could we have gotten to this hellish place? The old ogre said a little aggrieved and a little angry.
"Oh, actually, I don't really care about that, just ask casually, I'm more concerned about how the plan is." The man in black didn't care about the old ogre's tone at all, and said in that unheaving tone.
"Humph! We have almost cleared this forest, but we are short of food, and you have made us capture so many slaves, we simply cannot afford to raise them, and I am afraid that before the spring begins, not only the slaves will starve to death, but even my people will starve to death. The old ogre didn't continue to say anything extraneous, and directly stated the current predicament.
"Don't worry about the food, I brought a lot of it this time, and I put it in the valley not far away, you can go and get it yourself, and we will continue to deliver it every once in a while." The man in black did not disappoint the old ogre, and sure enough, he brought food.
"How much can you send? Is it enough for us to survive until the beginning of spring? The old ogre asked.
"Not enough."
"What? You don't keep your word, you said that if we would come to this hellish place to help you, you would give us food. The old ogre angrily questioned the man in black.
"We didn't expect you to catch such a slave." The man in black said calmly.
"Then I don't care, these slaves are also you to keep."
"Therefore, the adults want you to consume some of it first, so that the grain should be able to last until the beginning of spring."
"Consume some?"
"Just let those slaves attack the city now."
"But there's no way they're going to break down any city."
"That's why it's called consumption."
"But this will cause the human race to be alert, and it will be very difficult for us to actually attack the city." The old ogre was a little hesitant, he didn't care about the slaves, but when they attacked the city, the humans would definitely be on guard.
"It's okay, they wouldn't have thought that there would be so many of yours, and you can try the details of the human race, besides, will you be afraid of those humans?"
"How is it possible, no one in the Bone Shattering Tribe is afraid!" When the old ogre heard this, he was first angry, and then when he saw the person in front of him, he was a little angry, and said helplessly: "Except for you." β
"It's good to know, then do as I say, you don't want that waste, continue to waste your food."
"But why don't we go out of the way? Isn't that more certain? β
"There are still some things to deal with on the adult side, and it is impossible to hold back the large army of humans, or do you want to say, are you willing to face the large army of humans? All you have to do is to cooperate with the adults, and you don't care about the rest. β
"Okay." Anyway, the dead are slaves, and the old ogre is not distressed.
After that, the whole camp began to boil, and many slaves were freed, gathered together under the whipping of the ogres, and then led by a group of ogres, towards the outside of the forest.
