The old man hesitated and said, "But, the temple ......"

"If a swordsman wants to attack the temple, we can't resist these things or not. “

Since I said just now that I have no combat effectiveness, I naturally can't change my words here.

The young priest continued: "This is also the holy abode of the goddess on earth, who will easily offend?

Those scumbags have to get the attention of any gods and churches that allow them to make a profit in secret.

If they had the courage and strength not to be afraid of the goddess, they would have started to make chaos a long time ago, and would they still sneakily hide in the dark?"

After such an analysis, the old priest stopped saying anything and took out the things.

In the early days, the situation was chaotic, and even the honorable priest was likely to be targeted by bandits or simply passing cultists.

At that time, even the small temple in the town had to be prepared with weapons for defense - the temple itself was built strong enough to serve as a military stronghold. This habit has not been completely forgotten to this day.

Currently, the weapons available to the temple are a crossbow, three hard bows, four shields, seven spears, and two halberds.

By the way, the two priests lent out their weapons as well—a small scythe and a flail. However, either of them is more symbolic than actually lethal, after all, their job is to use agricultural tools for harvesting, and they are sacrificial vessels for the religious rites of the goddess of agriculture.

Both Sherlock and Sir Severn looked embarrassed. Although they knew that the temple would have a collection of weapons just in case they used it to protect themselves, they didn't expect there to be so many.

After all, a baron will not keep dozens of soldiers by his side all the time, and if the temple wants to rebel, the chances of success are not low if they use these weapons to arm the people.

Even if you can accept it intellectually, you know that the church of the goddess of agriculture is very gentle and will not make any big news. But emotionally, it is instinctive for a ruler to tolerate the presence of hidden armed forces on his own territory that he does not know about.

Fortunately, Sir Severn was old and steady, and Sherlock was very young and had not yet become a baron, so he did not have a sufficient sense of rulership. I didn't hesitate for two seconds about this kind of thing, and I just didn't see it.

Obviously, the old priest was worried about this happening, but Sherlock thanked him a little more, which reassured him a lot.

Later, the temple provided them with two scrolls, as well as a holy emblem. The two scrolls are "Healing Moderate Injuries" and "Sacred Sanctuary". As for that emblem, it can be used three times to heal minor injuries before the power in it is exhausted.

These can be seen as gifts and investments.

In fact, as long as the temple is closed, there is a chance that it will not be attacked. Then they just need to report to their superiors for help, and after a while, professional paladins will come, and they will be completely safe, and even be commended for even reporting the matter of the cultists, and they will not have to wade into this troubled water.

No one will demand that the priests of these two vulnerable goddesses of agriculture fight heroically against the powerful cultists, no one.

But the young priest still took out the collection, and maybe it would be wasted, and maybe even if Sherlock won, she would not pay it back for various reasons......

There is no doubt that priests are a well-deserved class of intellectuals. This approach may serve as proof of her foresight.

This son is not a thing in the pool - if it weren't for the lack of time, Luo Ming really wanted to tease him like this.

===========================================

With this in mind, they simply had the soldiers stationed around the temple. There are very few "pure places" in this world, and the temple itself is a collection of weapons and serves as a fortress, so it is not a big deal to house warriors.

Men such as Sir Severn, Sherlock, and Lormine simply stayed in the temple - there were still a few guest rooms.

“...... Mr. Lomin, there's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”

Sherlock tugged at the corner of his coat and whispered.

"In a few hours, I'm going to see those cousins...... I can't imagine that they would collude with the cultists. ”

If it was an ordinary person who said this, Luo Ming wouldn't care too much, but Sherlock said this, and he couldn't afford not to pay attention.

Sherlock continued: "My eldest cousin is not worth mentioning at all, although he made a little money by supporting the merchant and bought a small plot of land for himself, but everyone can see that this is for the sake of his future livelihood, and he has no luxury of competing for the inheritance, and even if this guy opposes me, he is likely to be bought by me in turn."

My second cousin is only as strong as he is, and although he is ambitious, he has no outstanding talents other than a good skin and a few beautiful words.

And my poor cousin, who had become a walking ball of flesh by the bad habit of gluttony, was very proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and a year ago, when he was only fifteen years old, he had been cured of venereal disease, and had been cured by several doctors in private, and with all kinds of messy medicines. There is no doubt that his little annuity cannot meet his needs, and he owes a lot of debts to the outside world. If I can help him pay off my debts, he doesn't have any reason to oppose me......"

How does this feel like the Yuan brothers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms......? If the opponent is really such a person, it is simply a blessing from the gods. Luo Ming suddenly had this thought.

If this were all there was to it, it would have been difficult for the three cousins to make up their minds to send assassins and bandits to attack them halfway.

As for colluding with cultists, there are really not many people who have the courage to do it, and they probably can't even think of it for those three people.

However, this is a fact that has already happened.

Luo Ming thought for a moment, then said: "At best, the cultists are just taking advantage of the chaos in this territory to meddle in and make profits, maybe the people who join forces with them are coerced.

At worst, one of your cousins may have a cunning heart. This makes him endure it all the time, secretly accumulating wealth and power, for this family property, even if the other party is a devil, he can greet him with a smile, and it is not surprising that he colludes with the cultists. ”

As he spoke, he also teased Shylock: "Wouldn't it be nice if it was the latter? Such an heir ascending to the position of baron must be able to make Miana grow and develop in the days to come." ”
