Chapter 4: Lisa
The mortal walker of the Goddess of the Dark Moon, the patron of the Lightless Moon, and the Archbishop of the Temple of the Dark Moon, Lisa Theresa will soon be thirteen years old this year, and in two years, the great Archbishop Lisa will be able to step into the ranks of adults, truly stand in front of the believers, and spread the glory of the Dark Moon in all directions.
Provided that there is still the word of the believer at that time.
There will be, and there will be more and more, and in the near future, every race, every person in the world, will be bathed in the grace of the goddess, and the great Lisa-sa firmly believes in this.
Although this goal has not been achieved in the past four hundred years, although the fourteen generations of archbishops have spent their lives on it, the size of the church has become smaller and smaller, although there are now less than 100 faithful believers, and the maximum number of pan-believers is 1,000, and even the intelligent beings who know the existence of Lord Darkmoon are less than 10,000, the great Lord Lisa still firmly believes that under his leadership, this small goal can be achieved.
Because my brother is here.
Ever since she was rescued by her brother from the hands of those three vicious bad guys in the otherworldly projection, the girl has firmly believed that her brother is omnipotent.
Obviously, at that time, he didn't even count as a combat officer, at most he only had the physical fitness of a low-level combat officer, but he relied on pure skill to fight and kill three high-level military officials in a row. Even this kind of almost impossible thing can be done, what else can't my brother do? It's just that I can realize my dream with myself, and it's definitely no problem.
But as a younger sister, you can't just let your brother work hard, you must work hard with your brother, and you must not become a burden to your brother.
Isn't it just more than 20 creditors? Isn't it just that they want to repay the debt of more than 10,000 gold coins? Isn't there anything else that even the great Lord Lisa doesn't know, at least tens of thousands of gold coins in arrears? What's so difficult about this?
It's just a group of creditors, and it's just delusional to ask for a debt from Lord Lisa, who cherishes her wealth like a dragon! Hmph, my brother is right, repay the debt?
Brother, just watch, your sister, I will send these creditors away smoothly, protect our family, just like you have always protected me, you just watch my sister win the first victory.
But...... These people are really terrible, woo woo, brother, you better come back quickly, kick them all out the door, woo woo woo.
The great Lisa-sa is about to become an adult, but I am afraid that the orthodox morality that has been built up with great difficulty will completely collapse before she reaches adulthood.
"Knock knock", the sound of gently pounding the table.
"Bishop Lisa, the situation is clear now, we need money. Indeed, the Dark Moon Temple is very difficult, and we are very sympathetic, so we didn't embarrass you when we borrowed money in the first place, so you shouldn't embarrass us, right?"
"We have a business to grow, a return on investment, and a large number of employees waiting to be paid. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, we can't let them go home hungry without their pay, right? So, Bishop Lisa, please raise money and return it to us as soon as possible. ”
One of the creditors, dressed luxuriously and carrying two dazzling diamond rings on his hand, held his stomach and urged loudly, with a posture that if you don't agree, I won't leave. And he is not alone, beside him, the creditors who are thin and well-dressed are still helping with a sad face.
"Yes, Bishop Lisa, we are miserable now, and we are counting on your arrears to save our lives. Let's not mention the difficulties of store management, anyway, we are mentally prepared for bankruptcy, but we still have to live. My wife is now seriously ill and bedridden, and is in dire need of a large amount of gold to save her life. ”
"Yes, we all need money. Beside the two of them, the second helper appeared, the creditor with a full beard slapped it heavily on the table, and he deliberately raised his voice again with a naturally high volume, which sounded like a quarrel, "This time, you don't want to rely on it and not pay it back, I must get the money today, otherwise I will go to the Contract Temple and accuse you of violating the contract to the Deed of Integrity." ”
The god of contract, one of the few unconscious deities, has a priesthood but no divine sense, and simply put, is a rule, and he is enshrined in the temple of the covenant in the image of a scroll of parchment with the word "faith" written on it.
The Temple of Contract is one of the temples with the widest coverage of believers, except for the Temple of Wealth, which is entrusted with the minting authority by all political powers, and its existence is present in almost every city.
Ordinary contracts generally do not alarm the temple of the contract, and are fully enforced in accordance with the laws of various places, but if an important contract, or if one party involves a god, it will often be signed under the witness of the contract temple's deed of good faith. Once the contract is established and approved by the god of the contract, the contract rules will automatically operate and maintain the contract, and once a party violates it, the contract of good faith will punish the dishonest party according to the price agreed in the contract.
If the dishonest party is the church and there is not enough collateral agreed, the contract temple will apply to the temple of gods for a ruling, and in more serious cases, there is even a precedent for conflicts between gods to break out as a result.
"We don't want to make trouble, but you've been delaying it too long!" shouted the bearded creditor, slapping the table, "I can't wait any longer, get the money out, I'm going to see my share today." ”
The petite and immature Lisa was frightened by the roar, and shrunk her neck in fear and took a few steps back, her eyes wide open, looking at the vicious creditor with a frightened face, her lips trembling violently, but she was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.
"No matter how pitiful it is, it's useless, I'm even more pitiful. The beard did not restrain at all, and the roar was louder, "If you don't have money, forget it, if you don't change it, if you don't change it, it's a bad character, if you don't pay back today, I'll ......."
"Wow. ”
The volume was raised again, and finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the appearance was fierce, the attitude was fierce, and even the voice was so loud, under the triple blow, finally frightened the young girl to cry out loud.
So, it's lively.
It is a city with a long history, and its citizens consider themselves civilized. They are all civilized people, debt disputes are debt disputes, and there are problems to talk about, but it is not right to bully children.
Especially when the other party is still a noble and powerful true god bishop, people reason with you, and they don't use their strength to force you, but you turn around and yell at other ignorant children, which is simply unacceptable.
"This gentleman. The young man, who had been sitting in the corner with the other two without saying a word, looking ordinary in his clothes, but who could not hide his pride, suddenly spoke, "This is the Church of the True God, can you please be quiet? Moreover, is it worth being proud of bullying little girls? If you are really that proud, there is still a little girl in the Rose Palace to bully, don't you plan to try?"
The Palace of Roses is the official residence of the Rose family in the Rose Capital, and the only person who can be said to be a little girl there is the successor of the Rose family, the future lord of the Rose City, and the most protected little princess of the Rose family, Judia. The young man put this little princess on the table, obviously ridiculing the other party for bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and only daring to bully a child like Lisa.
The beard now has a bitter word, and he is just taking advantage of the situation to roar a few times, increasing the pressure on the other party through intimidation, who would have thought that the child would be scared and cry. If there is no one else around, it's okay, but there are still a lot of people, if you let yourself only bully the little girl, and ask for debts to scare other children's reputation for crying first, you will be discredited in the future.
"That, Bishop Lisa, little sister, little bishop, that one, don't cry yet. I found that the more the other party cried, the more sad he became, and it was extremely embarrassing to rub his hands with his beard. The creditors who came with him around him, their expressions showed that they were also quite complaining, even if they should have advanced and retreated with him, they also took a few steps back covertly, and distanced themselves a little.
"I, I, I'm not trying to scare you, hahaha, I'm naturally loud, hahahaha. The perpetrator looked at the others for help, but everyone looked at him helplessly and shook their heads, as if they were very disappointed in him, and a few old people dressed as ordinary civilians couldn't even sit still, and had already stood up and were about to leave, seemingly not planning to get involved.
"Wow, I'm sorry, uncle, you didn't scare me, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't cry, woo, it's okay, you don't have to worry, woo woo. We'll definitely pay back the money, woo woo, and after a period of grace, don't ...... No, no, no, I'm not afraid, wow, I, I still have three small silver coins here, I'm going to buy bread for those children for breakfast in the next few days, first, I'll pay it back to you first, woo, we'll find a way to do the rest, and I'll pay you back as soon as we raise the money, wow wow wow wow. ”
At this time, even the arrogant young man and the two people next to him who had always been silent couldn't sit still.
Three small silver coins, what kind of joke, because of three small silver coins, they came to the door and bullied the twelve-year-old girl and cried? If people know about this, whether they did it themselves or not, as long as they participated, they would have no face to see anyone again. At that time, I really can't think of any other way than to simply commit suicide to wash away the shame.
It seems that today is going to run in vain, but fortunately, there is no hope, after all, the fundamental purpose is not to ask for debt.
In fact, the three of them have already discovered the problem, but since the situation has been disturbed by people's cries, it is not easy to do anything, so it is better to simply admit defeat and find a way after a while.
After glancing at each other, the three of them shook their heads and stood up, ready to walk out, but a sudden voice made the three of them stop.
"In the mortal palace of the goddess, it is blasphemy to scold the mortal walker of the goddess in front of him. I, the cathar, failed to stop it in time, and I was a great sin. ”
The eerie voice came from Shuer's mouth, and Shuer finally returned.
