Chapter 240: Technological Frontier (11)
"Saint, what is that, what good is it for me to receive this title?" the white wolf was puzzled, he could understand the so-called guest whitecard, as Steve said just now, the whitecoat is the most powerful person in the church.
White Wolf didn't think that the church would really give power to him as an outsider, so it should just be an honorary title, and the real big head should be the title of "saint".
Seeing that the white wolf didn't understand the meaning of "saint", and he looked cold, Steve was instantly a little embarrassed, but since others didn't understand, he had to explain.
"There have been five saints and twenty-four saints in this Church, and only the devout believers of the Light have the opportunity to become saints, and saints do not take into account faith, race or origin. β
"However, both of them have one thing in common, they have both made great contributions to the world of order, some of them have led an expedition to the Chaos Region and achieved a great victory; some of them led only a few thousand people to resist the army of hundreds of thousands of zombies from the devil's fog; some people sacrificed themselves to inform us of the cultists' century-old plan and avoided a catastrophe; some people, with their own strength, have promoted the scientific and technological development of the entire world of order and enhanced our overall strength, and many people think that it is not an exaggeration to call them the guardians of the world of orderγ β
The white wolf didn't speak, just listened silently, and there were two terms that caught his attention, that is, "devil fog" and "zombie army", aren't these two things the biggest threat to the emirate now? The gray fog that pervades the ground should refer to the devil's fog, and the so-called zombie army is not the group of strange goblins that can only be killed by cutting off their heads?
The white wolf remembered that the strength of the group of gray mist invaders was so great that even the heavily armored spearmen had the possibility of being overturned by them, and they basically had no intelligence, they didn't know how to attack the bare skin of the spearmen, they only knew how to rush vigorously, and in addition to cutting off their heads, attacking other positions would not cause any damage to this group of guys, such a strange attribute is probably only available to zombies.
"Of these saints, twenty-five were posthumously conferred, and only four received such titles while they were alive, not to mention anything else, but in our human world, the status of the saint is very high, and he is qualified to be equal to the king, and even the king has to give him three points, if the saint wants, he can become a lord of a rich territory at any time, this territory has a large population, the land is fertile, although the territory is not large, but its strength can be compared with a small border country. β
"In addition, the saint also has the right to enter and leave the libraries of various places at will, and the credibility of our Holy Light Church is guaranteed, whether it is the Elfit Empire, the northern countries, or the church state, the libraries of these countries are open to the saint at any time. β
"Finally, the saint can get the right to transfer our Holy Light Church Holy Guard Knights, this is a group of more than a hundred people, well-equipped, well-trained elite riders, specializing in the escort of important people, all the time, the church has spent countless money and energy on this knight order, riders and horses are selected from a young age, after rigorous training, layer by layer selection, and the saint can turn this knight order into his own private army. β
"These are all direct and visible benefits, and there are some hidden benefits, and our church will tell everyone who you are, so that you will enjoy a certain reputation in the human world, and at the same time be respected by others, so that your life here will be much easier and more comfortable. β
That's all it takes, Steve has already enumerated the origin of the saint and the benefits of becoming a saint, and is now waiting for the white wolf's response.
For the White Wolf, the conditions proposed by the Holy Light Church are indeed quite tempting, and regardless of the others, just this qualification to read at will in libraries around the world is worth exchanging this technology, not to mention that there are other favorable conditions waiting for him, to be honest, the White Wolf does seem to have agreed directly.
"I can promise to give you technology and help you make runes, but can you wait for me for two months, I still have some things to deal with, and when I finish dealing with these things, I will come and discuss with you. β
"Actually, I personally don't really want this saint title, as a substitute for this title, in two months, I will draw up a list of the materials I want, and I will hand it over to you when the time comes, I wonder if you can agree to do so?"
"Two months, we can wait, but are you sure you don't want the title of saint?" Bishop Steve didn't expect the white wolf to refuse so decisively, if it were an ordinary person, in the face of such a huge benefit, he would definitely be eager to get his hands on it.
"I'm just a monster, at most a relatively powerful wizard, how can I be called a saint? β
What the white wolf said was just polite words, this was not his true thoughts, as a traveler from another world, and was appointed as the savior of the world by a great will, and he could also "tie" the black wolf that destroyed the world in his own territory, the white wolf thought that he was still qualified to be this saint.
What he is really worried about is actually the credibility of the Holy Light Church, he is just alone now, if he really transfers the technology, what if the Holy Light Church repents at that time, after all, he is a wolf, and the Holy Light Church is a church that belongs to human beings, will they really give themselves such an important title?
Even if they repent, they will not lose their credibility, after all, the victim is a wolf, and in this era of mutual hatred between races, no one cares whether a wolf has been treated unfairly, maybe they will be happy to hear it.
The white wolf understands that what he can really trust at the moment is the red leaves, black wolves, foxes, goblins, and the rune sect that he has established with his own hands, and if he is treated unfairly, they are the only ones who can be relied on in the end.
The white wolf is convinced that only when a person gains a certain strength can he be qualified to obtain the corresponding status, even if the Holy Light Church keeps his oath, when the time comes, his little-known little wolf suddenly becomes a saint of the Holy Light Church, which will definitely cause many people to be angry, and there will be far more people who question him than those who worship him.
This matter is very involved, if he agrees, it means that he can no longer manage the emirate for a period of time, and he must spend his energy on the portrayal of runes and teaching, so he naturally has to be cautious in making decisions, and it is impossible to agree immediately, if the white wolf really does this, it will only leave Steve and the others with the impression that they are unsophisticated and imprudent, and he needs to think about it for a while,
"Well, you can think about it slowly, of course, it would be better if you could start making runes for us during this time. Steve didn't force the white wolf to answer immediately, agreeing to his suggestion to discuss it in two months.
When the business talked about this, there was nothing to say on both sides, whether it was the buyer or the seller, they all expressed an attitude of cooperation, which is enough, after all, this is the first time to meet, and there is no understanding between each other, and the things to be discussed are so important that it is very smooth to be able to negotiate like this.
"I don't know where you're going next?do you need our Holy Light Church to help you?" Steve asked White Wolf if the formal talks had a result, and the next thing was beyond the talks, which was just as important, just like drinking and having a treat outside of the talks, which could increase trust and facilitate negotiations faster.
"Oh, I probably need your help, because I'm going to travel through the Far South to the South Forest, where all the people have been killed by the cultists, and only the people from your church are left to investigate, and I may need a guide to show me the way. The white wolf replied.
"You really need a guide to go to the Southern Forest, so I'll help you arrange this after I go back, how about it?" In fact, Steve wanted to ask the white wolf what he was doing in the Southern Forest at this time, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was someone's private matter, so he finally gave up.
"Well, I'm in a hurry, I've been delaying here in Eagle City for too long, so I have to leave at noon today, and you may not have time to make arrangements. The white wolf looked at Steve helplessly.
"In such a hurry, take this token, and when you meet someone from the church, they will probably help you. Steve obviously didn't expect the white wolf to go in such a hurry, so he took out a silver sword pendant from his body and handed it to the white wolf.
"This thing is my personal ornament, blessed by the Holy Light, and when the time comes, I will use the flying pigeon to pass the book and tell the people in charge of your news to the people in charge of the Far South, so that they will be able to recognize your identity through this pendant. Steve explained.
"Thank you very much, you have won my favor for what you have done. The white wolf hesitated for a second, then took the pendant and held it in his mouth, Steve's approach was quite sincere, if the pendant really worked as he said, he might consider further cooperation with the Holy Light Church.
"Well, if you don't mind, you can use this" Alyssa on the side suddenly spoke, and the white wolf turned her head to find that she had found a red ribbon from somewhere, as if she wanted to help him tie the pendant around his neck.
