Chapter 41: The Strange Master and Servant
With the 300,000 of the God of War Sect, Link didn't have to worry about running out of money for a long time, even if he went to other towns to open schools and orphanages.
As for the few churches ceded by the God of War Cult, Link is ready to put them first, although the combat power of the Father God Cult is good, but the management talent is still very scarce, and it is not appropriate to disperse the staff, anyway, with the deed in hand, Link is not afraid of being robbed of the church.
In just three days, the first indemnities of the Ares Cult had arrived, the 100,000 solas escorted by a few wagons and the church deeds of several towns, where the things had been removed, and the Church of the Father could receive them at any time, apparently the reparations that had been prepared a long time ago.
However, the remaining 200,000 solas are not a small amount, although the Ares Cult will not repay the debt, but it will not be able to collect it in a short period of time, and it will take a while to do so, Link understands the difficulty of the Ares Cult, so he is very 'understanding' and says that Altaïr will continue to be a guest of the Father's Cult, and release him when all the compensation is in place.
Although the people of the God of War Sect were angry, they did not dare to attack, so they had to go back with some of the redeemed captives first.
After standing by the window and watching the Ares of War leave, Lin Kechong said to Altaïr, who was standing beside him, "Those guys are gone, they probably wouldn't have dreamed that the captives they brought back are already devout disciples of the Father, right?"
Altaïr said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Archbishop, their status in the sect is not low, and when the time comes, they will definitely help you take down the entire God of War Cult without blood." ”
Link smiled and nodded, then thought of something again, couldn't help laughing at himself and shook his head: "I'm also getting more and more like those black-bellied villains on TV, I don't know if this is good or bad." With that, he turned to Altaïr, "Forget it, don't mention this, Altaïr, what's going on with Assassin's Creed?"
Altaïr said: "Back to the archbishop, I have brought some orphans from the town of Chinko and other nearby places to train them, and I have also bribed some informants from other towns to provide information, so that we can basically get first-hand information about the nearby towns, and further afield, we have not had time to put the line down." ”
"Well, there is no need to be anxious about this matter, the loyalty of the people found is the most important, we are still very weak, many things should not be rushed, those children you find, those who have no talent and talent, leave them to Jack, he will arrange, it will be not long before the school will be repaired, let those children be the first batch of students." ”
Altaïr nodded, "Yes, Archbishop, don't worry, I know what to do." ”
Link then asked Altaïr to go down to his errands, and he got to work. However, it didn't take long for Jack to find a complaint, and the reason was that Reimeng's problem girl had something wrong again.
After living in the seminary, Reimu pestered Link every day to ask Link to work, saying that he wanted to make money, and he opened his mouth with thousands of salaries, and people who didn't know thought that Reimu was going to be a big official, even if the city lord of one side was only 10,000 solas a year.
Link naturally wouldn't hand over the money casually because Reimu didn't have common sense, so he asked Arya to explain the common sense problem to Reimu, and then arranged some chores for Reimu, telling Reimu that if she wanted to make money, she had to do a good job first.
As a result, although Reimu did it, he only gave up after only half a day, because the work was tiring and troublesome, and the salary was very low, and Link thought that Reimu would be honest from now on, so he didn't bother anymore.
But after Reimu stumbled upon the fact that believers would continue to throw money into the Father's donation box, Reimu decisively made a new donation box and placed it there.
To put it simply, Reimu is robbing the Father of God in the open.
Jack naturally wouldn't ignore this kind of thing, but after he approached Reimu and told him, Reimu said that since the Father God Sect could put the donation box, why couldn't she put it?
And because Reimu is the high priest of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Jack can't use strong means, so he has to find Link to solve the problem.
Link couldn't help but have a headache after knowing it, Reimu is completely a super problem child, not only has no common sense, but also very shameless, the knots are basically zero, in the face of this kind of person, it is useless to reason, you can only use coercive means to make her obedient.
Fortunately, although Reimu's Xingge is a cheater, she will not work against Link as she is on the mission of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, so when Lin Ke sternly asked Reimu not to put the donation box indiscriminately, Reimu had no choice but to take back her box in frustration and return the money she got to the Father God Sect - although no one would put money in it at all.
However, after that, Reimu often ran into the woods behind the monastery, not knowing what she was doing, and she wouldn't say anything when she asked her, but as long as she didn't mess with the Father's Cult, Link didn't bother to care about her, and stopped asking after people stared at her.
After another day, the service arrived, and at nine o'clock in the morning, Link went to the Cathedral of the Holy Light for a weekly prayer class.
Solemn and magnetic prayer people came out of the open door of the church, and the believers outside who could not enter the church due to lack of space closed their eyes and listened to the prayers with a sincere face, and the whole Holy Light Cathedral was filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere inside and outside.
Suddenly, a small carriage drove over, the body of the carriage is based on the dark red sè, with some dark gold sè decoration, giving people a kind of yin dark beauty, as soon as you know that the owner of the car is either rich or expensive, and the two horses pulling the carriage are pitch black, tall and mighty, far more powerful than the average good horse, which can definitely make people who love horses salivate after seeing it.
Driving the carriage was a woman with a black cloak, and although the cloak covered her head and most of her body, the fair and delicate skin exposed on the outside indicated that she was certainly not very young.
The carriage stopped far away from the crowd on the outside, and suddenly, a pleasant female voice with a few childishness but full of majesty came from inside the car: "Starry Night, what's the matter? Why did you stop?"
The woman who was called the starry night immediately turned around and replied respectfully in a low voice full of magnetic stars: "Miss, the outside of the Holy Light Cathedral is full of believers, there are too many people here who believe in Father God Link, many people can't get in, so they pray outside, and the road ahead is blocked by those people." ”
"Oh, this Father's Church is doing a good job, and its prestige in the birthplace is comparable to that of the big churches. There was a hint of interest in the man's voice.
Starry Night, who knew her eldest lady very well, immediately asked, "Eldest Miss, do you need me to disperse this group of people?"
The man in the car thought about it for a moment and said, "No, that's it, let's go over after there are fewer people, I also wonder if this miracle of the Father's Religion is really as miraculous as the rumors." ”
"Yes, your will is everything to me. ”
At that moment, Starry Night drove to the side of the road and waited for the crowd to disperse on its own.
When the bell struck 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the weekly prayer class ended, and the believers immediately left with a reluctant, but very fulfilled and peaceful mood.
However, for some reason, these people did not seem to have reached the luxurious carriage on the side of the road, and they all ignored the carriage, as if the carriage did not exist at all, and what was even more strange was that when someone walked towards the carriage, they would stop and go around about ten meters away from the carriage, and the expression was as if the carriage in front of them was not a carriage at all, but a wall.
No one noticed the strange scene, and the carriage stopped there for a long time, until almost all the believers left, and then the carriage moved under the starry night, all the way to the Cathedral of Light.
A few believers who left late were stunned for a moment when they saw the red carriage coming over, and then one of them said to the others in confusion: "Uh, when did this carriage appear? Why didn't you find it just now?"
The others were also full of doubts, and could only shake their heads at the question and say they didn't know.
Soon, the carriage came to the front of the cathedral, and the congregation in charge of the reception immediately stepped forward and asked Starry Night to drive the carriage to the parking lot, but when Starry Night met the eyes of the congregation, the congregation was like a demon, and retreated to the side in a daze, and Starry Night got out of the car and opened the door, bent down to show a welcoming posture and said, "Miss, we have arrived, you can come down." ”
"Hmm. The pleasant childish voice sounded again, and then, a Lolita-type girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old put her white little hand on Starry Night's hand, and walked out with the support of Starry Night.
The girl has shoulder-length hair with lilac sè, a soft hat with pink sè on her head, and a pink dress with many ornate decorations on her head, and a red sè ribbon on her head, full of gorgeous and dark baroque style.
In addition to the dress, the girl's appearance is also amazing, with a childish and temperamental beautiful face with a faint smile, and the red pupils that are as moving as jewels faintly reveal the evil flavor.
On the whole, the girl seems to be the eldest lady from a rich and noble family, beautiful, moving, and extraordinary temperament, but it also gives people a dark quality that is difficult to get close to, or even dare not get close.
Many people who noticed the carriage saw the girl coming down, and both men and women cast amazed eyes, although the girl was still young, but the temperament and appearance were irresistible, and even those who had seen Reimu could not take their eyes off it.
The girl ignored the surrounding gaze, and after looking up at the Holy Light Cathedral, her beautiful big eyes narrowed half-narrowly: "Is this the Holy Light Cathedral? ”
As soon as these words came out, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the starry night next to him, and then he asked in a deep voice: "Miss, don't you even understand it?"
"Well, that's funny, there's something incomprehensible in this little country place, and this Patriarchal Cult is quite interesting. As she spoke, a wicked smile on her lips, she immediately walked towards the church, and Starry Night hurriedly followed.
After the two stepped into the cathedral, the stunned passers-by came back to their senses, and immediately began to talk about the pair of masters and servants, and compared with the believers, the congregants were even more surprised, especially the congregants who were responsible for receiving the guests, he did not understand why he had retreated just now, and now he did not know what to do with the luxurious carriage parked at the entrance of the church, because the horse pulling the carriage was tall and strong, and it was very strong, and as soon as he approached, he would make a powerful low roar, and those sharp eyes were not like domestic animals, but like a beast that chooses people and devours them。
