Chapter 12 Reckoning
In the evening, outside the courtyard where Alan lived.
"What do you say, you have a task for me?" Alan interjected and looked at Pachelaire.
"Yes, big task, big ......"
"Not interested. Alan directly interrupted Pachelaire's words.
Pachelaire looked a little dizzy. Whoever in the church hears that there is a big task will surely be excited to accept it, after all, it represents merit, glory, trust, and opportunity...... However, Alan is not interested in any of this!
"Alan, you are too young, and you have no merits, so His Majesty the Pope did not give you the position of deacon. His Majesty the Pope has been looking for the right task for you, but lately there has been no task for you, and now you have finally met ...... Do you know the finch fox that raged a hundred years ago?" asked Pachelaire after a final change.
"You're talking about the one that was killed by Talasya?"
"Yes, it's the finch fox. It is of Suzaku blood and has the power of Nirvana's resurrection. In order to prevent it from possessing its feathers and being brought back to life by ill-intentioned people, the place where Tarasya killed it was sealed off by the Church. Recently, however, it was discovered that one of the ascetics guarding the place was actually connected to the Dark Council, and the Pope suspected that someone from the Dark Council had entered the place...... The Pope intended to send someone to explore that place. With your name on the list, His Majesty the Pope can elevate you to deacon. Pachelaire said.
Deacon?
How much money can a deacon earn in a year? Allen has earned almost 100,000 gold coins in the past half a month, relying on the dividends in the magic shop! How can Allen be able to see this as the amount of a deacon's income in a year? What's more, the Pope wants to give him a 'chance' to get him promoted at this time, and there is definitely a problem in this. Pachelaire can't see it, but Alan can!
Alan didn't say anything, but the meaning of the inappropriate thing in his expression was obvious.
When Pachelaire saw Alan's expression, she knew she hadn't been able to move him. After thinking about it, Pachelaire said again: "I will also go when the time comes, and I will find a way to put you and me in a group, and if there are good things, I will share with you...... The canon stipulates that unless you get a very good eighth-order item, or something higher, you don't have to turn it in completely, and the person who finds it has the right to choose three items as personal reward. If you get something of a high level, the temple will give you a reward depending on the situation after retrieving the item. ”
Allen's expression moved when he heard this, and he knew that the temple had this rule.
But think about it, if there is no benefit, how can faith alone drive so many strong people.
In the Xianxia world, those bald donkeys who keep saying 'My Buddha is merciful' also rely on the money donated by the laymen to build a number of Daxiong Treasure Palaces. The true Buddhist precepts are very strict. There is a precept of 'eating one meal and not eating at noon', which means that you can only eat one meal a day at noon, and you are not allowed to eat at any other time. There are ten fasts, which means that each monk can only go to ten households every day to beg and get what to eat. There are also those who do not hold gold and silver rings, that is, monks are not allowed to touch money for the rest of their lives. There are dozens of precepts of seven, seven, eighty, and eight, and Alan has not seen a few monks who can abide by them.
The most ridiculous thing is......
Allen participated in the fourth Emei sword fight. That time, he looked at it, all the monks who participated in the war were people who chased fame and fortune, and the strongest Buddha light in Buddhism that needed to be practiced hard was 'Great Reincarnation Extinction Buddha Light', which no one could use in the younger generation, and each little monk was holding a bunch of magic weapons......
Pachelaire saw Allen's wandering world, and for a while he couldn't figure out Allen's thoughts.
"How's it going?"
"Well, I'll think about it. ”
Allen's words were still a bit perfunctory, which made Pachelaire feel helpless.
Immediately, Alan said again: "Is that place very big, can't you just send elites to investigate, why do you even want to go to me, a sixth-order?"
"It's not that it's big, it's that it's a very chaotic space, it's not a normal space. What kind of space, I can't say right now. Anyway, it was Tarasia's private domain, and no one but her knew exactly what was going on there. In the past, the Pope also wanted to explore it, but he was worried that the finch fox was not dead, and after sending someone in, the spirit of the finch fox slipped out. However, now that the situation was urgent, His Majesty the Pope had to take the risk and send someone in to check it out. ”
'Tarasha's private domain, no one but her knows exactly what is going on there, and I don't know if she has any treasures hidden in it......,' Alan thought to himself.
Suddenly, his expression moved, and he suddenly remembered something!
"Okay, I'll do that. Alan replied with a smile.
Although Pachelaire couldn't understand why Alan suddenly agreed, she was relieved to finally convince Alan to participate.
"Alright, so be it. Alan, remember to report to the temple tomorrow morning. See you tomorrow. Pachelaire nodded goodbye and left the courtyard. She felt very tired. Alan's idea was too weird, and he had to convince Eren to make Pachelaire feel more tired than the last time he fought the golden-faced man, but fortunately Eren finally agreed.
In the distance, a carriage suddenly stopped. This carriage had just driven past the two of them, and when they talked, they didn't say anything too secret, so they didn't watch out for this kind of carriage passing by.
In the carriage, Michelle held the staff so hard that her fingers were white......
When Eren returned to the room, he unraveled the goblin Gollum's invisibility array.
Little Gollum looked at Eren with starry eyes, not understanding what Eren was calling her for at this time.
"Little Gollum, do you remember the old days? Does Tarasia have a private territory with her treasures or something?" asked Alan as he put Gollum on the table and looked at hers expectantly.
"Gollum, Gollum?" Gollum grabbed her hair and tilted her head to look at Alan suspiciously.
"Do you know who it is, Tarasya?" said Allen, "the bronze statue you saw that day. ”
Little Gollum purred her hand and wrinkled her eyebrows in contemplation.
After a while, Little Gollum stretched out her hands and lay down on her back......
She was tired after just using her brain!
"Grapes? Your favorite crystal grape. Alan pulled out a bunch of crystal grapes from the bedside table.
Little Gollum hurriedly turned over, 'hugged' the crystal grapes with both hands and nibbled wildly, eating a mouth full of juice.
Alan saw that she was eating happily and asked, "How is it, do you remember anything?"
Little Gollum was still full of doubts, and immediately threw Alan aside and ate the grapes on his own. After eating the grapes, she saw that Alan was still staring at her, she giggled, picked a crystal grape from the side, flew to Alan with the grape, and made a gesture to feed Alan.
"Alas!" Alan sighed softly, he finally despaired of the memory of little Gollum. He reluctantly opened his mouth and let Gollum put the grapes in his mouth......
On the other side, the Great Temple of the Church.
Michelle walked up the stairs with a gloomy face.
He had just passed by Pachelaire and Allen, and happened to hear some of their conversations. He couldn't hear all of them, but he could vaguely hear Pachelaire say that she would take Eren on a mission and give Eren a share of the benefits.
Ye Luo and Pachelaire looked at Gao Allen inexplicably, which made Michelle very unbalanced. Allen's surname is fierce and fierce, as soon as he came to Yanjing, he got into trouble with the Cross Star Alliance, and after he got into trouble, he wanted to avoid the temple, and Pachelaire actually helped him apply for the position of deacon, which made Michelle very unacceptable. It was with great difficulty that he had his father Barrick get rid of Ellen's position as deacon, and now he actually heard Pachelaire say that he wanted to help Allen with his mission......
Michelle just felt furious!
'Allen's kind of mediocre and incompetent, how long is Pachelaire going to make trouble!'
"Father. Michelle came to Barrick's office.
Barrick was writing copy, and when he heard this, he stopped writing and said, "What's the matter, didn't you go back just now?"
"Father, I saw something on the road just now......" Michelle said with a gloomy face.
Barrick was furious!
"The last time Pachelel recommended Alan, a mediocre person, to be a deacon, it was already incredible, but this time she actually wanted to help Eren with the task? What did she think of the church! Alan hid in the church when he got into trouble, no matter how strong this kind of person is, he can't ask for it! Not to mention that his strength is not strong! This is just a kid with mediocre qualifications who has been mixed up by luck...... He will only go through the back door, he will only rely on women, I don't see any real skills in him, and there are a lot of crooked and evil ideas!" Barrick said angrily.
Immediately, Barrick thought of what Pope Andorra had just told him about exploring the space in the Sword of Aurora, and his face suddenly changed: "Could it be that the mission that Pachelaire said is that...... This kind of serious matter, Pachelaire actually took it as an opportunity for Alan to brush up on his merits!"
"Father, now?"
"I'll go and talk to the Pope. No, it's hard to say, I'll just have to transfer Pachelaire away. Pachelaire has been a Templar for many days, and according to the rules, every Templar must go looking for a dragon rider, and tomorrow I will arrange for Pachelaire to leave! Without this woman, Eren has no ability, only knows how to rely on women's tumors, and can't make any waves! When I have a chance in the future, I will find a way to drive him out of the temple!"
Michelle heard Barrick say that he was going to break up Pachelaire, and finally let go of his heart. What could Alan do without Pachelaire's help?
"By the way, father, what is that incident you just said?"
Barrick thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you. It is rumored that Tarasha killed the fox more than 100 years ago, but many people suspect that the fox did not really die. Recently, the Pope intends to organize people to explore the battlefield of the decisive battle between Tarasia and the Sparrow. There, we may run into the Dark Councillor, or we may encounter the Spirit of the Sparrow. Eren wants to sneak around on something else, I can pretend I didn't see it, but the stakes are high, and I can't let him mess around!"
