Chapter 196: The Fish Is Hooked
A few days after the Celebration of Light, Gu Fan was awarded the title of Holy Son by the "God of Light", and the news has become more and more widespread, and Lila Town has also become more and more lively.
But Gu Fan did not appear in front of the believers in the past few days, but stayed in the newly built ashram next to the church.
During this period of time, the most basic skeleton of the church has been gradually laid, and most of the problems can be solved by the newly appointed pastors, and the management problems are taken care of by the bright clone, and Gu Fan is rarely idle.
A few days ago, he directed and acted in the "God of Light" advent event, in the eyes of all believers, he was already different from the original god-given priest, but the first person under the God of Light, the Holy Son who walked in the world on behalf of the gods, has a very special meaning.
In recent days, Gu Fan has released the news that he is going to open Lila Town, travel to the mainland, and establish a branch church, firstly, to prepare believers, and to see if anyone will take the bait.
After all, in recent times, there have been a lot of fresh faces in Lila Town, and for the remote Lila Town, it is impossible to attract so many fresh faces in normal times, and the reason why they came here does not need to be guessed.
Faced with the information that he was going to create a branch church, Gu Fan believed that someone would always take the bait, although a divine right like the Church of Light, which really had mysterious powers, had a lot of threats to those royal powers.
But those kings also knew that the Church of Light applied well, and completely consolidated the rule of the territory for themselves.
In addition, the Church of Light truly has the healing power of a god, and even if it is for the sake of their own bodies, there are some people who will be tempted.
After all, people are greedy, and as long as they can do it for their own benefit, they don't mind taking risks.
Even capitalists can tie their heads around their waists for the sake of huge profits, and it is not surprising that they can do anything in the face of this era of more exploitation.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the quiet room.
A young priest's voice came in, "Holy Son Gray, there's a man named Philemon looking for you outside. ”
"Invite him in." Gu Fan said loudly.
"Yes, Son Gray."
Soon the footsteps moved away from the ashram.
"The fish is hooked." Gu Fan muttered to himself
How could Philimon, the young man with "narcolepsy", the temperament and etiquette that could not be hidden under his sluggish face, be an ordinary nouveau riche?
In addition, the seemingly thin and thin body, but with a lot of money, and usually very generous, he was able to stay in Lila Town for a few months without incident.
There's definitely something hidden behind this.
The security of Rila Town can't be said to be very good, but it is also above the level, but in the face of Philippon, a powerless "pig", since there is no information about attacking him, this is obviously abnormal.
Soon, the priest ushered Philemon into the ashram and closed the door and left.
Regarding Philimon's arrival, Gu Fan put down his hand and was reading the "Genesis" and invited him to sit down.
This was the second time Gu Fan had seen Philippon, and the last time was when he was treated ten days ago.
At that time, Philemon seemed a little depressed, as if he had been hollowed out by something, and the whole person exuded an air of decadence.
And now only ten days have passed, although Filipon is still a little thin, but on his knife-like face, the unique temperament that faintly exudes from his body still reveals handsomeness, and he will inevitably stand out from the crowd.
"Holy Son Gray, this Book of Genesis is truly amazing." Filipmon smiled and looked at the books on the table.
Gu Fan smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Philemon have any insights on the Genesis?" ”
Philemon nodded, and then told his understanding of the "Genesis", and Gu Fan nodded in response from time to time.
It can be heard that Philippon has a certain understanding of several books written by the light clone, and it seems that he has not read it less.
And Gu Fan is naturally not in a daze these days, he should still read books, after all, knowledge is power, as the Holy Son who walks in the mortal world on behalf of the God of Light, he can't even ignore the books issued by his church.
For Gu Fan, who lives in the era of information explosion, every time he introduces some classic lists, he can shock and sigh with emotion.
Long.
As time passed, Gu Fan could feel that Philimon's tone seemed to be a little anxious, but Gu Fan did not break it.
No matter what Philemon was going to do when he came to him, Gu Fan had already taken the initiative, and if he spoke first, he might fall into a passive state.
Coupled with the fact that there was enough time, Gu Fan didn't mind dealing with Filipmon more.
"Holy Son Grey, I, Philimon, have never admired a person so much, but after listening to your words today, I finally know why you were favored by the gods and even canonized as a holy son." Philippon sighed.
Gu Fan shook his head and said, "It's just some superficial personal opinions. ”
"Holy Son Gray, if you have such a superficial opinion, then I am afraid that the scholars in the capital of your principality will be ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into." Filimon said jokingly.
Gu Fan smiled and didn't reply.
Seeing this, Philemon paused, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Holy Son Gray, I heard that you are going to establish a branch church elsewhere, right?" ”
Gu Fan nodded naturally and said, "The Lord said that darkness is about to come to the world, and in order to have more resistance when darkness comes, the establishment of a branch church is necessary. ”
Philemon took a deep breath and said, "Pastor Gray, I don't know if you've ever heard of the Hall family?" ”
Gu Fan looked at Philemon with a smile, "The Hall family is a powerful earl family with a fiefdom inheritance, and they control the Hall Territory next to our Principality of Etro. ”
Most of the Steam Continent is occupied by the three empires, and at the edge of the three empires, these are the weaker principalities, most of which are dukes that have been divided by the three empires.
The titles of this world are divided into dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, and men, and nobles have the qualifications to obtain fiefdoms, but if they want to obtain permanent territories, they can only obtain inheritance territories if they have made great contributions to the empire or made great contributions, although most of them are on the edge of the empire, but they are enough to be envied.
Even so, the nobles who really own the territory are less than one in ten compared to the entire empire, let alone inherit the territory.
And the Duchy of Etro, where Gu Fan is now, is the inheritance territory of a duke, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Eagle Yang Empire, and the same is true for the Hall Domain.
