Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Dilemma of the Diocese of the Seven Cities

"What's next? Leave this unfortunate place, of course! Do you want to stay in Walkerson? "Claudia is clearly not going to stay in this 'sad place' anymore.

Rielly shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "If I can find a suitable assignment here, I personally don't want to waste my time on the road!" ”

"The person who teleported for free is not qualified to say this." Claudia muttered angrily. Thinking of all the bad experiences she had along the way, Claudia naturally felt jealous and jealous of Rieli's way of traveling.

And the mage, who understood what the other party was thinking, seemed to be deliberately angry with the other party at this time: "I didn't choose this way of traveling. If you hadn't asked the church to apply like the Garden of Mysteries, I'd still be working on new spells there! And compared to the feeling of squeezing the water pipe during the transfer, I like ordinary travel. That's the real alternative life. ”

"You ...... thing," Claudia was even more out of breath for a while.

Barrett found that the few in front of him were becoming more and more careless in the team. The disguise that comes off this identification is a good sign in Barrett's view. However, in this situation, Barrett still doesn't want to affect the time because of their fighting: "Okay! Let's pause. If you want to play, you will have time in the future, so it's important to get down to business now. ”

"Alright! Serious matters. What a boring guy. As she said this, Rieli yawned two deliberately.

It can be seen that the failure of the previous mission actually did not affect the mood of the players much. On the one hand, it is because of the attitude of these rich people, and on the other hand, it is also because the players have nothing to lose.

"Mission in Walkerson City?" Barrett touched his chin and thought for a moment. He then set his sights on Klematis, who was the only player here with a relatively reliable source.

Clematis, who noticed Barrett's gaze, moved his eyeballs: "Don't look at me!" The church had just been hit hard, and everyone was busy dealing with the aftermath. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find the right job through them. ”

"You're thinking about it! I don't think the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church has a need for us. At this point, Barrett continued to stare at Kleimatis. After all, the loss of the temples everywhere this time should not be small. In particular, most of the temple forces that followed the actions of the priests were lost in the avalanche. So I think the direction of the temple will need to be temporarily hired to be armed! ”

Every organization has its own internal set of training and supplemental channels. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they can easily solve the problem of daily personnel attrition. However, the damage caused by this Snow Mountain operation is too serious. The original training and supplementation methods will never be able to fill such a gap in a short period of time.

Of course, with the strength of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, Barrett believes that they will be able to solve this problem in the end. However, in the window before the complete settlement, the armed forces of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce will inevitably be at a low point.

And the decline in the protective power of the temples of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce may also attract some unfriendly eyes. What's more, as the largest business organization on the mainland, the rich people here are somewhat paranoidly about being victimized -- the idea that 'there are always people who want to harm me' seems to be very marketable.

After all, money brings honor and enjoyment. The more this happens, the more afraid they are of losing it all. Therefore, they pay more and more attention to their personal and property safety. In this case. Naturally, I don't mind spending some pocket money to enhance my safety and security work.

"Are you saying you're going to work for the church?" Rieli immediately set her sights on Barrett. The latter nodded: "Do you think we can be a better employer in Walkerson City?" In terms of wealth, even the councils are not as good as the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. And we've worked together before, so that's a good foundation. ”

"Barrett, your idea is really good. But I'm not sure if the church will hire people. Speaking of this, Clematis turned his head to look around, and then lowered his voice: "I have heard that the chief priest here Samir has asked for help from the temples elsewhere. I want to fill the gap with reinforcements, which should be here soon. ”

"As a member of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Klematis: How many replaceable personnel do you think temples elsewhere usually have? Barrett squinted his eyes as he said this.

In a way, the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church is stingy. Because any wealth is inseparable from accumulation, open source can not forget to throttle at the same time. Otherwise, even if you are rich, you may not be able to make ends meet. So while keeping the temple running, cost is also something to consider. Otherwise, it will be difficult to make a profit.

Although all the clergy of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church were lavishly dressed, the temples were richly furnished. But these are all faΓ§ades to show - this is similar to the old days when self-employed people used to get a good car. Otherwise, you may be looked down upon when you go out to do errands.

In this case, most temples will have a certain number of reserves in order to prevent accidents. But this amount tends not to be very large. At most, it will be able to cope with the attrition of some skirmishes. Trying to solve the problems of the Seven Cities League is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

"In the case of the reserves, there really aren't many temples alone. However, there are so many temples on the continent that as long as some of them squeeze out a little manpower, they will be able to solve the problem here. Clematis tilted his head slightly.

Barrett, who heard this, smiled: "You're just talking about an idealized situation. Have you ever thought about how many churches on the mainland would give this aid? And how long do they have to feel here. Don't forget that it's not just the temples in the seven cities that have been lost. What's more important are those small and medium-sized temples scattered within the territory of the Seven Cities Alliance! ”

This time the operation was the operation of the entire Seven Cities Alliance Diocese. In addition to those killed in the avalanche, the previous confrontation in the mountains and the two camp battles also took a toll on the church. Currently in the entire Seven Cities Alliance diocese. The priests of each district could only concentrate their power in the main city's main temple. For the time being, the temples scattered around the town could only rely on the sturdy walls and the prestige of the past.

In fact, the seven main cities themselves are the best defensive forces. Even those in the city that could threaten the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. It's also a big business. At the same time, it is inextricably linked with the church. So they will never risk being retaliated against at such a time.

On the contrary, the small and medium-sized temples and even chapels in the small towns in the suburbs may become the target of some daredevils. The outlaws who roam the lands of the North live one day at a time, and they do not restrain their greed for possible threats in the future.

The big names in the temple know about this too, but if they spread out the limited manpower they have now. On the contrary, it is possible that the enemy will eat it due to lack of strength. If so, it's not just outside property. Even personnel will suffer again. Therefore, in order to ensure the vitality of the force, they can only make such a decision.

"In this case, even if a few of us join, it won't make a big difference!" Klematis shrugged, "Anyway, it's decided to shrink back into defense." There shouldn't be a few of us here. ”

"How do you know if you don't ask!" At the same time, Barrett did not forget to say: "If you can, by the way, ask about the news of the next note." We can't afford to keep him waiting. ”

"The matter over to the noodles is just left to the anvil to be in charge of!" Klaimatis immediately kicked a ball at the dwarf's feet, "The information he got in reality is far more accurate than what we can do through the channels in the game. And you don't have to spend unnecessary favors. ”

"I almost forgot." Barrett patted his head as he said this. "It's all because the game is so real. Sometimes I forget I'm in a game. Then the next task will be left to you with Anvil. ”

Finding that there was no more opposition from the group, Clematis had no choice but to go to Priest Weldon.

Perhaps because of his outstanding performance in previous missions, Priest Weldon seems to have received a lot of praise from the main priest. Judging by the rumors circulating in the temple, it seems that Priest Weldon is expected to take a step forward after the change. When others were still working hard to drill the camp, he was already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, even if the cultivation of Weldon priest is good. But at that moment, when a huge pie fell from the sky and smashed directly into his head, he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart. From the corner of his eyebrow between. There is a faint hint of color.

Therefore, when Priest Weldon saw the arrival of Clematis, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Friend Both, you are here. Are you going to exchange all the rest of your share for the items you need? ”

"Nope! My companions and I don't want to exchange anything yet. So there is something else going on to come to you today. Speaking of this, Clematis suddenly pretended to be obliged. I have seen the situation of the temple during this time. The inadequacy of the armed forces has affected the day-to-day functioning of the Church. So my companions and I felt like we could do something for the church in this area. After all, the previous cooperation was very pleasant for both parties, wasn't it? ”

"You're going to do something about it!" Priest Weldon squinted his eyes and said, "It can't be that you are planning to take advantage of the fire!" ”

"Priest Weldon, how can you say that? Anyway, I'm a member of the church. It's not the same parish, but it's not that kind of person in your eyes! Clematis grumbled with a pair of almond eyes.

It is precisely because you are a parishioner in different dioceses that you are most suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob! You've done this kind of thing before! Although he thought this in his heart, Priest Weldon's face immediately changed to another face: "Habit! Habitual problems. In the meantime, I've sent several batches of guys who are ready to take advantage of the fire. ”

"Don't worry! My teammates and I would never do anything like that. Remuneration is still calculated on a normal basis. At this point, Clematis puffed out his chest confidently. Our performance Priest Weldon should have seen it in the valley. Definitely good value for money. ”

"Value for money is a certainty. But good goods are not cheap! Priest Weldon wondered what kind of offer to give the players. You must know that the performance of the blood-stained gray flowers in the valley can be called excellent, and in this case, the salary of hiring them will naturally rise. After all, the last mission has come to an end, and this time it is necessary to change the contract. The price was too high, and Weldon Priest himself was absolutely unwilling, but if it was low, he was worried that the other party would open his mouth in anger.

After pondering for a while, Priest Weldon finally gave his own idea: "The reward is thirty percent higher than the previous one." All other conditions remain the same. By the way, I urge the craftsmen to dispose of the items you sent for repair as soon as possible. ”

"So what do we do next?" Klaimatis asked, touching his chin.

Priest Weldon immediately threw out a scroll: "It's Wintersprings." Now go and guard the temple in this town. ”

With the dull sound of horses' hooves, the blood-stained gray flowers came to Winterspring Town. On both sides of the road are mostly crowded houses, which look like a wall of wall, and the signs of weathering show that they are not well maintained. The road surface is far from clean, and in addition to the daily garbage, there are occasional things that reincarnate the grain. A small nondescript door not far ahead hangs a wooden sign with a bowl and spoon painted on it, indicating that this is a restaurant.

As they walk, players enter the square in the center of the town. It is the site of fairs, festivals and trading days, and it is one of the few places in the town where the stone floor is laid. The temple of this mission is on the west side of this square. (To be continued.) )
