XXIV The first specialty: the tears of the Holy Maiden

The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning, and the guests went away with all their pleasure, but Li Qi was so noisy that he stayed awake all night, and did not fall asleep until dawn, and slept until the afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The hall was cleaned up with no trace of yesterday, and Li Qi was very satisfied with the efficiency of the butler, but the butler was still in the hall, as if he had been waiting for him, which surprised him a little.

The butler's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Master, did Viscount McGore have a showdown with you last night?"

"Showdown? I can't say it, I just said that the debt can be forgiven for three months", Li Qixin said that this guy should have come to confess.

Sebadian was very nervous: "Master, this must be him paralyzing you! Don't believe him!"

Li Qi stared at him for more than ten seconds before sighing: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I've been waiting for you." ”

The butler looked frightened: "Master, do you know!?"

"Of course I know ......"

Sir McGore's temptation was evident that he had communicated with those who knew his situation.

This kind of office psychology thing, Li Qi was also perfect in his previous life, what the housekeeper was doing behind his back, he couldn't see, but he could roughly guess.

Sebadian knelt down: "Master, I definitely didn't betray you!"

"Well, I know. ”

If you really want to betray him, you should plant an eyeliner in the believers and try to find out what is going on with the Crimson Lady. But Sebadian obviously kept a distance from the affairs of the church, but spent a lot of effort to study the situation in the royal capital, and seemed to be choosing a suitable house.

"But your loyalty clearly crosses the line, and the first principle of loyalty is to inform your superiors of everything you know. Decisions should be made by superiors, not by themselves. ”

Combined with the conditions proposed by McGore before leaving, Li Qi felt that the butler was already preparing himself to join the royal family.

Sebadian bowed his head: "Master, I was wrong, I thought it was ......"

"Get up, Sebadian, I don't blame you this time. ”

Li Qi said gently: "I know, in your eyes, I am still the young master Li Qi who doesn't grow up. ”

In all fairness, Sebadian is a good steward, and although he has other beliefs, he can rest assured that the affairs of the territory can be left to him.

Sebadian stood up and said gratefully, "Yes, sir, I am ashamed that even Mr. Sardar is firmer than me. ”

Li Qi asked again, "What were you going to say just now?"

"Sir, since Sir McGore came to me privately, I was very worried about my lord's situation, and I did some investigation myself, is it like this......"

After listening to Sebadian's story, Li Qi pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The king did have a conspiracy, and Sebadian's investigation confirmed that Cheap Daddy was cheated. The person who seduced him came from a certain gray force in the royal capital, and then got on the line with those nobles and the king.

How could a country lord who had never seen much of the world resist the temptation of the extravagant life of the upper nobles? Perhaps it all started with the banquet of the Lady of Joy.

Sebadian believed that the king's plan was to turn the Viscount of Prell into a direct territory, and because he was afraid of the attitude of the divine court, he did not use too drastic means, so he resorted to such a small trick.

Sebadian did not find a reason why the king cared so much about the land, but he dismissed the possibility of the relics of the gods in the land. The Prell family has lived here for hundreds of years, and it is impossible that they have not found even a clue.

Sebadian felt that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this.

Linking Sebadian's views to the words of the Countess and Sir McGowell, Richie agrees, and this king has great plans......

The remnants of the fallen gods, the Night Lady, the two combined, the water was too deep, and Li Qi didn't think he had the ability to stir into it now.

The king's willingness to grace the time showed that his plan was not in a hurry, and as for Sebadian's worries, Richie was prepared.

"Hire adventurers as guards? ”

Speaking of spending money, Sebadian instinctively became anxious: "Even if it is only a third-level professional, if you take on the task of guarding, you will get at least twenty or thirty gold bushels a month." There are less than two hundred gold bushels in the treasury now, and the lord still has so many things to do. ”

"Sebadian, don't you understand?"

Li Qi pointed in the direction of the temple outside the door: "If there is a temple, there is a church, and if there is a church, there is a golden bushel." ”

..................

In the backyard of the temple, the apprentices gathered in a large circle, looking in awe at the silver-white light in the middle.

Finney's divine power is getting stronger and stronger, Li Qi thought with relief.

At this time, Fini's light wings stretched out for twenty or thirty meters, and the angel's praise was clearer. The body that was originally just covered with light dust was also wrapped in a light veil-like garment of holy light.

Her eyes were as bright as the moon, and tears shimmered with a misty halo that slowly slipped down her white jade cheeks.

The rest of the story was very spoofy, and Lily, the apprentice and maid, held a plank to Fini's chin and held her breath to catch the tears. It's like counting, little by little.

"Enough, enough!"

The old priest next to him cried out in pain, and he didn't know if it was Finney or tears that hurt him.

Seeing Richie, Finney smiled, and the light and wings dissipated at the same time.

Catching the little girl who threw herself into his arms, Li Qi said apologetically: "This is only temporary, and it won't be like this in the future." ”

Finney arched her little head and said angrily: "I don't like to hear Li Qi say this, tears can bring Li Qi gold bushels, I'm very happy! And I cry because I'm happy!"

This little girl is starting to have a healing talent, and Li Qi's heart is sweet.

Next to him, Tarens kept yelling: "It's flat, put it in slowly, slow down! Hands, don't put it in! Don't put it in! You can't breathe, and you can't mix sweat and dirty things into it, it's holy water!"

Under his reprimand, Lily carefully placed the wooden plank soaked in Finney's tears into a large wooden bucket filled with water.

"Stir with this stick, slowly, lightly, stay away, just 10 times, 10 times!"

"Substitution! It's not a tiring thing!"

At this time, Tarens was domineering, like a contractor in a coal kiln: "There is no purification circle now, we can only rely on our prudence and piety!"

Li Qi hugged Finney, Finnie nibbled on bread with jam, and the two leisurely watched the apprentice stir the water containing Finney's tears.

After five substitutions, Tarence called a halt.

The old priest scooped up a small scoop of water with a wooden spoon, poured it into a porcelain bowl, and handed it to a young man: "Drink." ”

The young man drank it all in one gulp without hesitation, and when he put down the porcelain bowl, his brows furrowed and his face turned pale.

He took a few quick breaths, then took a relaxed expression.

He stroked his chest and said reverently, "Thank you to my lord for giving me sobriety!"

Oxtongue Grass-Stan, just a few months, originally like a zombie-like mud leg, has become a calm and polite devout disciple.

"How do you feel in your heart?

Tarence asked Stan a barrage of questions, then smiled satisfied.

He said to Richie, "It's a better ratio!"

Li Qi was very happy that the first specialty of the church, the holy water of thorns, was successfully trial-produced.

When Sebadian complained about money again, the reason why Li Qi was so confident was that this was his confidence.

In the world of Fein, the church does not only rely on healing, blessings and other magical services to make money, holy water is the church's most produced and widely used specialty.

Different gods produce different levels of holy water, and therefore have different values. For example, the holy water of the Church of Lady Pain is not cared for, and no one likes the taste of stomach bleeding.

Crimson Lady's Holy Water...... Of course, it is now essentially Finney's holy water, which contains a slight healing and blessing effect, as well as an obvious psychic thorn effect, which is named the holy water of thorns by Richie.

Tarens is very optimistic about the future of the Holy Water of Thorns, he believes that although the effect of this holy water is not as good as that of mental elixirs such as tenacity, the potion is an alchemy product, and the price of a few gold bushels at every turn is not affordable for ordinary people, and it is resistant to medicine if you drink too much.

Initially, Tarence wanted to adopt the "process" of other churches to produce holy water, but later found that Lady Crimson's magic was incomplete and could not be used in a "standardized" way.

On a whim, Richie thought that since Finney revealed her form as a saint when she cried, then her tears must be very special, perhaps they were what other churches call "the source of holy water".

Tallence rushes to Finney and asks her to cry a few tears and dilute them into a glass of water. The old man only took a sip and danced for a long time. If the whole cup is drunk, the old man is estimated to soar in the daytime.

The principle is fine, the problem is the concentration ratio.

Before the banquet, Tarence took Finney with him and made adjustments every day. The results were already good a few days ago, and today there are more appropriate proportions.

"Everyone's worked hard!"

Li Qi put down Finnie and praised the apprentice, of course, he didn't forget the little girl: "Fenny is harder." ”

"With Holy Water, the church will grow faster, and I hope that each of you can keep up with the pace of the church and strive to become a clergyman as soon as possible. ”

Li Qi made a brief summary, looked at the excited faces of the apprentices, and said in his heart that this is true, you are the first seeds of the great cause of the revolution.

Tarence said with a calm face: "The matter of holy water is a secret of the church, and whoever dares to leak it to outsiders will betray our lord! The body of the betrayer will hang on the wall of the temple, and the soul will melt in the holy light of my lord!"

Aren't you an apostate yourself, old man?

Li Qi smiled secretly, he was a little unimpressed by this kind of intimidation similar to the earth religion, but there was a true god here after all, and the secret of holy water was related to Finny's personal safety, and he was happy to let Tarence put on this black face.

The apprentices unanimously knelt down and swore that in the future they would have more work to prepare and dispense holy water, but they would not receive a salary, which was their "spiritual practice".

finally upgraded from a feudal lord to a black-hearted capitalist......

Li Qi sighed, looking at the road down the mountain, the merchant should be almost there.
