Chapter 9 Relationships
When they got to the street, the great Lisa, of course, could no longer pretend to be a back pendant, and the girl reluctantly climbed down from her brother's back, and the brother and sister held hands and slowly shuttled between the sparsely populated temple worship halls, enjoying this long-time world of two.
No one took the initiative to speak, and it was too bad to take the initiative to speak at this time, and silence was the best melody now. In addition to the silence, there is only the sound of neat footsteps, a harmonious silent accompaniment to the two.
"Da, da", raise the left foot, lift the right foot, two long and two short, the four legs move with the same frequency, the arms that occasionally touch, the eyes that meet from time to time, the tacit smile, all the movements, are tacitly fascinating.
Back in the chapel where he was under construction, where Talina was still directing the craftsmen to be busy, not wanting to disturb the extraordinarily dedicated priest, the brother and sister found a corner in the hall and sat directly on the ground without an image, and let out a comfortable sigh at the same time.
Always take care of the image in front of people, it's too tired, it's still so casual and comfortable, the girl simply lay down on her brother's lap, crossed her legs, and her little feet swayed in the air, shaking very happily.
"Brother. Pillowed on Shuer's strong thighs, the girl suddenly asked softly, "What does she mean?"
"Huh?" Half-squinting, Shuer stroked the girl's long soft hair, "What's wrong?"
"My brother once told me that no one except his closest relatives will be kind to others for no reason, and he must be able to show kindness to others because he can also gain something from them. The girl kept every word of her brother's teachings in mind, "So, Aunt Judy must have her own purpose, what is it?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Shouldn't I know?" Lisa raised her hand to poke Shul in the face.
"There's no question of whether it should or shouldn't, it's just that I want to know, why you want to know this. Shuer's eyes were always half-open and half-closed, as if absent-minded, but he seemed to be very concerned.
"I don't want my brother to spend all his energy for the church alone, I want to share my brother's worries. ”
"Your current experience is not worrying. Shul shook his head and said, "That's not a good reason. ”
"Hmm. The girl was not hit at all, she seemed to understand the meaning of this quiz game, she rolled her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly grinned and smiled, "However, sooner or later, I will have to stand in front of everyone and face these problems personally, although my brother will also help me think about it behind my back, but isn't it too troublesome to have one more process? Therefore, I always have to learn to think about them for myself, to face them by myself, and to learn them, I have to seize every opportunity to learn. ”
Shul snapped his eyes open, stared at Lisa's smiling face, and suddenly reached out with lightning and slapped the girl's smooth forehead.
"Woo, bastard brother. The girl with a red forehead widened her eyes, grabbed Shuer's hand, and bit it down, "Let you hit me, let you hit me." ”
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll tell you. Having worked hard to save his hand, in order not to affect the workers on the other end, Shuer suppressed his voice and laughed, "Don't bite, saliva and saliva." ”
"Hmph. "Lisa's murderous wrinkled nose, well, very fierce and terrifying.
"Actually, it's very simple, you say, what is the purpose of us expanding the momentum and power of the church?"
"Of course, to spread the glory of the Lord and make the moon without light ......"
"Okay, okay, okay, I can talk about this kind of nonsense for three hours, something practical. ”
"Well, that's to keep Master Luna alive, of course. The girl stuck out her tongue, "Otherwise, Lord Darkmoon may not be able to wake up one day." ”
"Well, that's the most important purpose, and what?"
"And ......" The girl's eyes looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she naughtily pointed at Shuer and herself.
"Oh, that's right, that's what the priesthood is for. ”
In addition to spreading the glory of the Lord and enhancing the Lord's divine power, the biggest purpose of expanding the prestige of the church is, of course, for oneself, a better life, a greater influence, more right to speak, and stronger strength, all of which are inseparable from the expansion of the scale of the church.
It's not a selfish idea, uh, to be exact, it's not just a selfish idea, but only by making every member of the church feel that these aspects are uplifted, it will further strengthen the cohesion of the church, and it will also further strengthen their faith, and attract more believers.
It's not nice to say, but of course, it's true, and every church can't avoid it.
Shuer smiled happily, if it was four years ago, the girl would never have thought of a second purpose, but in the past four years, under his pollution, the girl's mind has become much more complicated, and she has already figured out the second reason.
This is certainly not a bad thing.
If it's just an ordinary believer, or a fanatical believer, then of course she can fight for the rest of her life simply to spread the glory of the Lord, just like Kelly before, IQ or something, it doesn't mean anything to her at all, and she doesn't need to exist at all. But once you want to become the supreme control of the Church and become the archbishop of the gods, you must see through these things, otherwise, how can you mobilize your subordinates to sincerely work for the Church, just by love?
Pinching the girl's smooth face approvingly, Xiuer praised: "It's hard for you to figure it out, heh, in fact, if you figure it out, you should already be able to guess Judy's purpose, which is nothing more than to improve your right to speak." ”
"The status of the earth goddess Kaeya is really special, Lord Kaeya's voice and influence, this is difficult to improve, as for the power of the gods, their believer base is too large, a little more and a little less actually has little impact, so you find no, a large church like theirs, there are few special moves, because there is no need for it. ”
"Uh-huh. The girl nodded vigorously, this is an indisputable fact.
That's when they need to work hard for themselves. Shuer laughed teasingly, "Of course, the gods will not object, this is a reward for their faithful servants, what reason is there to object?"
"The premise is that the behavior is not excessive. ”
"That's right, as long as it's not too much. Shure nodded, "It just so happens that Judy's behavior is not excessive at all, as a church's control, she is just expanding her control from the church level and seeking more downlines." ”
For example, for us, she hopes to get closer to each other by showing goodwill, establish deep cooperation through information exchange, and then establish unequal cooperation by pulling us into the common front, and then divide the originally equal relationship between superior and inferior, and when we get used to this kind of cooperation mode, we have become their spiritual vassals. ”
"Is it serious?" Lisa already frowned, and Shure's answer was a little beyond her imagination.
"Hehe, it's not serious at all. Shure shrugged and said, "This has nothing to do with the status of the gods, it is just a simple collision and subordination between churches, and it may even be limited to the status tilt within one or two generations of believers, so the gods actually don't care at all, anyway, it has no effect." ”
"Sounds like it's playing. ”
"It's a game. Shuer's smile suddenly became clear, "Isn't the struggle for power among mortals just a child's game in the eyes of the gods? ”
"Whew. Lisa exhaled, and Shure's words were very heavy, startling the girl, "It turns out that this is the struggle for power?"
"The milder way of contention, after the establishment of the temples of the gods, the temples often like to use this way to ...... Play. Shuer smirked wryly, "But the essence is still the same." ”
"Then brother, how are you going to deal with it?"
"This is for you, my Archbishop. There is no shame in staying by her side, and you can get a lot of human resources to tilt, the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages, but what to do is up to you to decide, do you want our church to become a vassal of the Earth Temple for the time being?"
Lisa can imagine that with the power of the Earth Church, she can get all kinds of benefits by lowering her posture a little, and it will not affect the reputation of the Dark Moon Temple at all, no matter how you think about it, she should agree to it, the question is......
The scene when someone held someone's hand a few minutes ago suddenly popped up in her mind, and the girl suddenly gritted her teeth and shook her head: "Never!"
Pok, pok, Shuer poked the girl's face, and couldn't stop laughing in the girl's bite.
"Well, it's not just jealousy. Lisa made a fuss for a while, and finally quieted down, "I don't think the goddess will be happy if I really agree to Aunt Judy." ”
"The goddess doesn't want to get too involved in the mundane affairs of the mortal world, and prefers to wander freely outside the world, if we really accept Aunt Judy's invitation, even if it is only a nominal subordination, although it has no effect on the goddess, she will not be happy. ”
"That's for sure. Shuer said with a smirk, "It's going to be a little unpleasant." ”
"Besides, my brother won't be happy. The girl grabbed Shuer's big hand and played a game longer than her fingers, "I know that my brother is actually a very arrogant fellow, in my brother's eyes, at least half of the people in the world are idiots, and the other half are slightly smarter idiots. ”
"Hey, hey, that's too exaggerated, your brother isn't so arrogant. ”
"Hee-hee, it's pretty much the same. The girl put her brother's hand on her face and said sweetly, "My brother is not a person who will be willing to be subservient, and I don't want my brother to listen to other people's orders, hehe, only the goddess and I can order my brother, so I like Aunt Judy the most, but I still refuse." ”
"Tsk, I've already refused for the time being, and the next time she brings it up again, I'll make it clear. He made a reluctant look, but in Shuer's eyes, he was always happy.
"Huh, temporarily refused, why didn't I hear that?"
"Otherwise, why do I have to have fifty grams of tea, this is to characterize the previous act of information exchange as a commission, not an unequal subordination. ”、
"Really, isn't it just to pit a bag of tea and sell it for money?"
"You guy, be careful that I poke you in the face again, but ...... It can indeed be sold, and it is worth a lot of money. ”
"Hee-hee-hee-hee. ”
