Reverend Gatsby's unyielding attitude immediately drew loud invective from the 'decent people'. At this moment, they seem to have forgotten the imminent threat, and are trying to force Pastor Gatsby to choose to abandon the test of the 'Realm of Honesty' through verbal pressure.

"I don't want to go through the 'Realm of Honesty'! That's not impossible. Whoever of you can show his birth certificate will be able to enter the temple directly. Pastor Gatsby, who couldn't bear it, said coldly with a grim face.

This seemingly compromising remark should have made the successful ones smile. But the faces of the 'decent people' in front of the temple became even more ugly than before after hearing Pastor Gatsby's conditions. If you want to say that the most taboo thing for these 'decent people' in Dongquan Town is probably their own identity.

Don't look at these people in Winter Spring Town, they seem to be able to call the wind and rain, but their influence is limited to the small place of Winter Spring Town. As soon as they left the town, they were just ordinary civilians like the mud-legged ones they looked down upon—petty merchants with a little money at best.

And the birth certificate that Pastor Gatsby just asked for was a magical document endorsed by the temple in the Western Continent that only those noble children would get when they were born and baptized. This document represents the identity of the nobleman's son, which is recognized by the Divine Residence. It is not only proof of their identity, but also the most important document to ensure their interests in exile.

In a sense, having a birth certificate is one of the important safeguards to distinguish whether you are a member of high society. And for these 'squires' of Winter Springs Town in front of them, having that document can be said to be their family's long-term pursuit. But so far, no one has been able to get it or get it for their own children.

Hence the words of Pastor Gatsby. It's not just about giving a condition that must not be met. At the same time, it was a resounding slap in the face to these self-righteous 'squires' in front of him. Of course, look at it from another angle. He was also reminding the guys in front of him. Don't think of yourself too much.

For example, these sandwich layers in front of you are often the best face-even if these guys in Winter Springs Town are in the sandwich layer, and those who are at the bottom are no exception. Immediately, some of these fellows angrily pointed at Pastor Gatsby and yelled. But there was no response.

Although Pastor Gatsby is a little cowardly, he has no opinion in the face of big things. But compared to the toiling 'gentlemen' in front of him, he is already considered an elite - not everyone can become a priest of the 'goddess of wealth and business'. And with the support behind him, this guy in front of him is really at ease.

At the same time, under the threat of the well-armed guards at the gate, the 'squires' of Dongquan Town did not dare to do anything more than verbal protest. Of course, these heavily armed soldiers in front of you. In addition to the original clergy and church armaments in the Temple of Winter Springs, there is also a mercenary team that signed a temporary contract a few days ago.

Unlike the blood-stained gray flower 'mercenary group' that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, the regular mercenary group in the Western Continent often has a large number of small detachments under its name. And for now, this team was cut by Pastor Gatsby from a nearby town through his own channels.

They had just finished an escort and were recuperating, but for the sake of Reverend Gatsby's generous reward, they immediately overcame their physical exhaustion with their spiritual weapons - although it was only a small town temple, the organizational stronghold under the name of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' was still able to call on a lot of resources.

Pastor Gatsby was not stupid, and since he already knew that danger was imminent, he would naturally add a little more security to his own safety. Although the members of the blood-stained gray flower sent by Walkerson were all elite, the number was too small after all. A small number of elites playing active offense are naturally not too much of a problem. If you can use it for defense, it can still be somewhat unsettling.

And Barrett and his party understood Pastor Gatsby's thoughts. So for these later comrades-in-arms. They were also welcoming - after all, the Walkerson temple had already signed an agreement for the players' payout. Not only will these newcomers not affect their income, but they will also be able to add an extra layer of security to the success of the mission.

Of course, on the other hand, the team members of this 'Brute Stone Mercenary Group' can also be called respectful to the blood-stained gray flower team - after all, the team of 2 red iron rank and 2 casters above 3 rings is not something that can be seen casually. Although it is not thick, it is a big leg for the members of the mercenary team. Anyway, let's hug it first.

After realizing that the argument was endless, one of the sword and shield bearers stepped back to Barrett's side and asked, "Mr. Boreham, are you worried about the next battle?" ”

"Somewhat! After all, there was no disguise in our actions, and it was not difficult for the other party to figure out the arrangement of the temple. In this case, the other party still dares to make a move. This can only be said that they still have full confidence in their preparation. Barrett, who pushed his back off the wall, stretched and said.

The heavily armed swordsman in front of him stiffened his expression slightly after hearing Barrett's words. He knew Barrett was telling the truth, but looking back at the temple's fortified defenses and the magical aura that had shone when activated, he immediately regained some confidence—and if that failed, he confessed it. Anyway, as a mercenary, he was already mentally prepared to die in the middle of the mission.

At this moment, Mr. Yodel's voice suddenly came from the small square in front of the temple: "What are you decent people doing blocking the door of the temple?" Don't stand in our way if you don't go in. Even if you want to die, don't drag others as a backstop! ”

Although leading the dock workers to disperse and flee to the wilderness outside of Winterspring Town is still a viable way out. But if you want to get more out of this pirate attack, the best choice is to fight against the pirate invasion with the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Although it is possible to die under the butcher's knife of the pirates because of his lack of strength. But wealth is always a risky thing. As an ambitious and aspiring believer in the 'God of Tyranny'. Mr. Yodel made his decision early on.

Of course, he didn't bring all the members of the dock union. After all, not everyone wants to stay and fight the pirates. So for the civilians, Mr. Yodel arranged a route for them to retreat. Guides were hired to lead the way, ensuring that they could escape the clutches of pirates in relative safety - after all, in the western continent, pirates often do not penetrate deep into land when they attack ports. lest they be wiped out by the reinforcements that came later.

And Mr. Jodl himself has brought his only henchmen to the temple of the town to defend themselves against the great threat that is coming. He was not at all worried that such a move would affect his prestige within the union. For in a society where individual heroism prevails, Mr. Jodl's conduct is the most respectable.

As long as Mr. Yodel survives the pirate raiders alive and there is someone to prove that he fought bravely. Then his prestige in Winterspring will be greatly enhanced. Even the dock workers who were scheduled to leave learned that Mr. Yodel had chosen to stay in town for their safety. When Winterspring is rebuilt, Mr. Jodle's position will not only not be shaken, but will become more secure, all on the premise that he survives, of course.

Immediately afterwards, the invective at the entrance of the temple changed: "You are just the head of a dock worker, and you dare to yell at us......"

Obviously, Mr. Yodel's previous remarks had attracted a lot of hatred for himself. He might have cared about this situation in the past, but he didn't have that time to spare right now - today's attack seemed to him to be both a disaster and an opportunity. He had seen the pirates on the docks before, and he roughly confirmed the number of them through the ship.

As a result, Mr. Yodel has a relatively intuitive understanding of the pirates who attacked the harbor tonight. In his opinion, relying on the power of the temple. It is not easy to hold out until the pirates retreat or reinforcements arrive. As for the other inhabitants of the town and their possessions, there was no time to take care of them.

That is to say, the 'squires' who were originally in the town. After this attack, they will definitely suffer a heavy blow - the only thing they can guarantee now is the floating wealth on their own. It is unknown how much of the remaining large amount of possessions and real estate will be left after the double baptism of pirates and fire.

After this battle, there will be a major reshuffle in the original power territory of Winter Spring Town. If the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce survives this time, it will not only remain the strongest force in the region. When the replenishment of personnel is completed, more resources will be available than before.

Recognizing this, Mr. Yodall naturally wanted to take a gamble on this ride. Once he wins the bet, then the ensuing benefits will be enough for him to digest for a long time.

Therefore, for the grasshoppers around him who can't dance for a few days, Mr. Yodel naturally doesn't have the same knowledge as them. He walked up to Pastor Gatsby and said, "We are willing to be tested by the 'Realm of Truth.'" And Pastor Gatsby, as you can tell, these young people behind me have been trained to a certain extent. Later, in the face of those pirate attacks, they can help somewhat.

"As long as you are willing to be examined, there is no reason for us to turn you away under the threat of the bandits." Pastor Gartzby even made a sympathetic face at this time. Although this did not match the shaman's robes on his body, it still fooled the few porters behind Mr. Yodel who had never seen the world.

Mr. Joddle was furious when he found out about this—after all, in his opinion, the members of the Docks' Union were all preparatory believers in the 'God of Tyranny'. It is naturally not too comfortable to be publicly poached by the pastor Gatsby in front of him like this. But now he can only hold back the anger in his heart and say: "I believe that in the next cooperation, our performance will not disappoint you." ”

As one member after another of the dockers' union entered the envelope of the 'Realm of Honesty' spell. The temple attendants began to ask the potential comrades questions they had prepared in advance. Don't look at the questions they ask are not many, but the logic of each other can be the optimal solution after many arguments. The answers to the intersection of several questions were completely able to discern whether the people in front of them were hostile to the temple side. It will also be possible to determine if they have anything to do with the pirates who attacked tonight.

As these mud legs in their own eyes entered the temple, those decent people began to get anxious one by one. They were already nervous, but they became even more hysterical than before. But no matter what language those men used to attack, Pastor Gartzby remained unmoved.

As time went on, the fire at the harbor became smaller and smaller. Barrett, knowing that the danger was getting closer, walked up to Pastor Gatsby: "Prepare to close the door!" Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late when the time comes. ”

"Understood! Prepare to close the door. Knowing that the situation was urgent, the Reverend Gatsby immediately spoke up.

Then I saw that the 'squires' who had begun to close the doors of the temple were really panicked. They had originally enjoyed a superior life in Winterspring Town, but they never imagined that the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' would be so indifferent to their lives. Driven by their survival instincts, they immediately rushed to the temple before the door was about to close, shouting, "We are willing to be questioned, please let us in......"

"It's really a group of guys who don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and no one usually cares about them, so they really think of themselves as characters!" Speaking of this, Barrett glanced disdainfully at the guys who were being questioned within the scope of the spell: "But with this dismount, they can somewhat understand that the world does not revolve around themselves." Once you enter the temple, it will be much easier to manage. ”

"Let's hope so! If it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't keep them out, I really didn't want to take them in at all! Pastor Gatsby sighed.

After all, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is not a cult in the Western Continent. Although there are not many good people in this, there is still some work to be done on the surface. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on the future war work of the church. (To be continued.) )
