In the early morning, after thinking about it, Luo Yi had lost hope of convincing the priest.

The only thing the priest could understand was to raise taxes, just as her best friend could understand that it was love, whatever it was, and it was based on their knowledge. Luo Yi's friend, who is accustomed to reading the kind of books she loves, if she clicks on a novel and there is no lingering love in it, she thinks that it is not a novel at all, and it is not even worth reading, but what about Mr. Priest? If you look at the surroundings, even the farmers are engaged in looting, the lords are imposing a marriage tax that can be called killing chickens and eggs, and the land is barren in order to get a sum of cash.

Many things are probably the so-called "historical and class limitations".

But what Luo Yi didn't expect was an unexpected helper.

When Shepp saw the man coming, he felt that something was wrong, and he had a reason to think so, because the man of this profession was often called the Devil's Helper—this man was the tax collector whom the Bishop had sent to bring him, and a good friend of the people of Brad's Domain, "another bucket."

"One more bucket" came to him as soon as he saw the priest, greeted him with great affection, and the priest thought that the priest and he were long-lost brothers (except that the age was not quite right), and finally, after a few over-the-top compliments, the purpose came, and he came to collect the "firstfruits" for the bishop.

"Firstfruits?" Shepp was surprised, "This should be collected in the second year." ”

"Firstfruits?" Luo Yi, who happened to pass by, was also surprised: "What is this?" ”

She asked this question, not out of pure curiosity, but because she remembered that the priest had always put the interests of the church first (Luo Yi thought it was natural), and asked her many times to increase taxes to increase the contribution to the church, and even threatened her with non-cooperation.

"Well, well, this ......" the clergyman tried to get by, but his fellow de jure betrayed him enthusiastically, "Madame, this is a tax to be paid to the Pope, and all clergy, bishops, and archbishops who have a position must give their first year's income to the Pope." ”

The church doesn't even spare the salaries of its own people!

Luo Yi admired the church's methods of collecting money.

This is a good way to collect money!

No wonder the clergy later took the lead in sacrificing the Pope!

Now Shepp certainly didn't have the courage and ability to take the Pope's life, and there were only two paths left for him, one of which was to throw his future into darkness by not giving enough to the Church, and the other was even darker, completely falling to the devil who controlled the Baroness.

As the spokesperson of the ancient serpent Satan, what Luo Yi has to do at this moment is not to seduce or force the priest to go down the wrong path, but to use his greatest self-control to hide his smile.

Persecution, temptation, what is the coercion, let the church do these things, so that the great demon king will not do such a disgraceful thing.

In this world, the twisted melon is not sweet, but the melon on the vine that feels the warmth of the gold coin is sweet.

It is a well-known fact that people tend to make the wrong choices when they are at the end of their rope, and Shep is no exception, and he foolishly chooses the latter between the sneer of the bishop's contempt and the complete alliance with the devil, and comforts himself that it is better to ally with one nobleman than to provoke the wrath of another nobleman in any case.

However, this time Luo Yi did not take out the money immediately, she told the tax collector that she had just been ploughing in the spring, and she needed time to raise money, well, come back in three or five days.

These three to five days will allow her to test the priest's abilities.

This time and the so-called ordeal plunged Shepp into deep despair, and his expression made "One More Bucket" go away satisfied, and miraculously, this time he didn't even ask for anything more, probably because although his name was on the church register, he had worked for Satan in obscurity for many years—through his hands, there were many souls who had gone astray due to persecution and blackmail!

Shepp is also one of the souls who has gone astray.

But his bad luck today is not over.

"You're the new Mr. Priest?" A pleasant voice sounded with pleasure, and it would have been thought to have come from some clever and lovely girl, but my God, the owner of the voice was a kind old hunchbacked lady, who quickly glanced up and down the priest with the eyes of a butcher looking at the lamb, and came to the conclusion that she thought was extremely satisfied, "Good young man, why are you not married?" ”

“……”

"I'll introduce you to one, they're all good girls, and they're good at laundry and cooking......"

"A priest can't get married!"

"Nonsense! My wife has lived for such a long time and has never seen a priest who does not get married, if you want to say that you are a bishop and do not get married, I still believe it, here, the wives of the priests in this neighborhood are all introduced by me! You're always single, no one washes and sews, it's not like words, find one while you're young, and it's good to be a companion when you're old. ”
