Chapter 178: Establishment of a branch church
After a long time, Gu Fan finally understood the reason why the residents of Zach Town were disgusted with clergy like him.
Three years ago, Zacktown had a nature church dedicated to the god of nature, and it had many followers.
But in fact, they are secretly doing some things like male prostitutes and female thieves, especially the male clergy of the Cult of Deity.
On the surface, he looks sanctimonious, but behind the scenes, he uses the will of the so-called gods to satisfy his dark side.
Finally, after the matter was exposed, Dirk Sr., the grandfather of Dirk Jr., as the mayor of Zach Town, personally led troops to encircle and suppress the church.
Seeing that the matter was about to be exposed, the leaders of the churches had already discovered that the situation was not good, and when they saw that the matter was about to be exposed, they quietly sent people to poison old Dirk, and threatened old Dirk to let them go, otherwise they would not hand over the antidote.
As the mayor of a town, Old Dirk is naturally not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he caught them with thunder, forced them to come up with an antidote, and then executed these scumbags.
After this, old Dill overcame the antidote, and asked the doctor to investigate, and when he saw that nothing was wrong, he thought that the poison had been cured.
Among them, it is precisely because the bad deeds of this natural church have had such a great impact that it can be said that it has ruined most of the people in the town, and since then they have been extremely disgusted with all religious members who pretend to be gods.
For this kind of thing, Gu Fan could only sigh helplessly.
Humans are smart creatures, and they are very smart.
It's stupid, it's stupid.
Sometimes, even if others oppress them with absolute strength, they will never accept their fate, and will look for opportunities to resist angrily.
But sometimes, it is easy for others to do all sorts of unbelievable things just by confusing them with a fictional thing.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in Gu Fan's main world, and among the people who are confused, there are also some men and women with top education, so this kind of thing has nothing to do with IQ.
Does this mean anything?
This can only show that people's hearts really can't be easily opened to anyone, especially people like this who pretend to be gods, when their hearts are naked in front of others, this person actually has no secrets, and is turned into a puppet for others to manipulate.
Just as Gu Fan was about to say goodbye, Marpel strongly invited Gu Fan and Dillon to stay at home for dinner.
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Gu Fan agreed.
He also learned from the conversation that Mappel's husband, Dirk, the father of Dirk Jr., had died ten years earlier.
And the reason why little Dirk's personality is a little indecisive is that the old Dirk's health has deteriorated in recent years, and most of the things in Zack's town are in charge of Marpel, so there is little time to teach him.
Rice, just as Gu Fan was about to say goodbye and leave, Marpel took out a small bag of gold coins to hand to Gu Fan.
Gu Fan shook his head with a smile and said, "Mrs. Dirk, if I was for a person at the beginning, I wouldn't have come over." ”
"Pastor Gray, I know you didn't come to save little Dirk's grandfather for money, but the reason why I took out these gold coins is also because I hope you can promise one thing." Marpel said with a look of sincerity.
"Oh?"
Gu Fan made a look of deafness.
"I wonder if you can build a branch church in our Zack Town?" "Of course, we at the Dirk family will be fully responsible for the construction cost of this branch church, and you don't need to worry about it. ”
The original nature church had long since been set on fire by angry townspeople.
But even if that church still existed, Marpel wouldn't use that dirty, filthy church as a branch church for the Church of Light.
During the meal, Marpel had already learned from Gu Fan that Pastor Gray was not the only one in the Church of Light who possessed this kind of Light Divine Technique.
So she thought that once the priests with this kind of light magic were resident in their town, their benefits would far outweigh the disadvantages.
"Okay, that's fine." Gu Fan agreed, "After a while, I will send a priest and a few clergy over, but I really can't accept your money." ”
Seeing Gu Fan's resolute attitude, Ma Peier knew that if he continued to ask the other party to accept the bag of gold coins, he might provoke the other party's disgust with his family, which would outweigh the losses, so he had to take back the bag of gold coins from the chicken.
However, she secretly made up her mind in her heart, and after a while, she asked her son Little Dirk to personally go to the Church of Light in the town of Lila and donate the bag of gold coins to the church, and at that time, Pastor Gray could not stop them.
After apologizing, Gu Fan and Dillon quickly walked out of Zack Town, ignoring the curious gazes of the townspeople.
For Gu Fan is a priest with a true God-given skill, this news was spread as early as when they were eating just now.
Now not to mention that all the people in Zack Town know about it, but at least most of them do.
When he came to the outside of the town, Gu Fan found that the sun had set most of it, and the sky was full of sunset.
If you go faster, you should be able to reach the town of Lira by midnight.
"How's it going, can you hold it up?" Gu Fan turned his head to Dillon and asked.
Dillon nodded earnestly, "Rest assured, Lord Gray, this journey is nothing to me. ”
Gu Fan nodded slightly, "Light Technique!" ”
A fist-sized ball of light appeared in front of him, instantly illuminating the somewhat dim path around him.
As the sun set, the sky became darker and darker, even with the bright light of the Light Technique, the visibility of Gu Fan and Dillon was still very low, only about five steps, coupled with the complexity of the mountain road, the speed of the two rushing back was far less than the speed that they came over in the morning.
A few hours later, Dillon wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his breathing slightly, and followed closely behind Gu Fan, not leaving an inch.
Although his body is not weak due to regular exercise, it is far inferior to Gu Fan's current body in terms of durability.
After running for such a long time, or walking this steep mountain road, Dillon's perseverance is also essential to persevere.
Although he had been following behind Gu Fan, most of his attention was on the surroundings.
You must know that in the mountains and forests at night, there are no shortage of fierce apex animal predators, and for their obvious target with a ball of light, they will inevitably be noticed by those predators.
Although Dillon was not afraid of those predators, he also knew that Gu Fan did not have to worry.
But as Gu Fan's entourage, he naturally didn't want those predators who suddenly appeared to affect the other party's mood.
