Chapter 40: The Reparations of the God of War Cult (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Perhaps, what the Celestial Spirit Cult wants is just a tool called the Celestial Spirit High Priest, not a leader who can bring the church to glory.
Looking at Reimu, who had a flat face and no feeling for what happened to him, Link sighed and said, "I understand, you can stay in the Father's Sect for the time being, don't mention service and the like, I don't need you to serve, and I won't restrict your zìyóu, just say hello to me where you want to go." ”
Hearing such a generous treatment, Reimu not only didn't like it, but frowned and showed worry: "You don't want me to do anything, should you give me food?"
Link laughed and said, "What do you want? How can you not give you food? It's just that we don't need you to do anything here, just stay and don't make trouble." ”
"Oh, that's good. Reimu breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, "But, if you don't let me do things, you won't give me a salary, will you?"
"......" Link looked at Reimu speechlessly, and it took a long time before he said, "Why do you always talk about 100,000 solas?
"Of course, didn't I say that when I was a child, I was often hungry, but once I overheard someone in the sect saying that as long as you earn 100,000 solas, even if you have a lot of fish and meat for the rest of your life, I swear that I must earn 100,000 solas. After Reimu finished narrating her story in a flat tone, she looked at Link Kedao with a look of hope, "If there are more than 100,000 solas a year, then give me 10,000 solas a year first, so that in ten years I can earn enough 100,000 solas, rest assured, I will have a lot of things, as long as you tell me, I will definitely do it." ”
"......" Link doesn't know whether to sympathize with Reimu or spray Reimu, the story in front is very sad, and the words in the back are speechless, Link doesn't have much hope for Reimu to say a lot of things, what can a high priest who has no common sense and has been trained as a tool since he was a child do? In his eyes, Reimu is a good-looking vase with inferior quality.
Just when Link wanted to casually ask Reimu what would happen, he suddenly felt that someone was eavesdropping outside the door, and he couldn't help frowning, in the Father's Religion, no one should dare to eavesdrop on him, who is outside the door?
Thinking in his heart, Link moved to the door silently, and then pulled the door open, and when he saw the person outside the door, he was stunned: "Arya, what are you doing outside the door?"
"I, I'm ......" Alya, who was already startled, was even more panicked when she heard this, not knowing what to do, and after a long time, she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, "I'm sorry, Brother Neil, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you." ”
It was impossible for Link to be angry with this sister, he chuckled when he saw this and said, "Don't worry, I'm not angry, but what is the matter with you here?"
Arya couldn't help but blush when she heard something, and subconsciously looked at Reimu with a calm face, then bit her lower lip and asked Link, "Brother Neil, her name is Reimu, right?"
Link nodded and touched his nose and said, "Yes, she is the Heavenly Spirit High Priest Lingmeng of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, didn't I tell you about our alliance with the Heavenly Spirit Sect yesterday? ”
Arya nodded when she heard this, and there was more sympathy in her eyes when she looked at Reimu, but then she showed her perseverance and said, "Sister Reimeng, I know everything about you, although your background is very pitiful, I won't lose to you!"
Faced with Arya's challenge declaration, Reimu felt inexplicable, and couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is she talking about? What won't you lose to me? Is her goal to earn 100,000 solas?"
"......" Link couldn't laugh when he heard it, as a person who came over, he naturally understood why Arya wanted to challenge Reimu, it was better not to explain this kind of thing, with Reimu's level of common sense, it would only be more and more troublesome to explain, so he didn't answer Reimu's question, and after arranging a guest room for Reimu and letting him stay honest, he went to deal with the trouble that the other party brought him.
Sure enough, in just half a day, the gossip of Link and Reimu has been spread to passers-by, and a large part of the reason is that Reimu is too beautiful, and in a small rural place like Chinko Town, she is definitely a goddess-level figure without suspense, so those who ran out of the church gossiped very hard, and the more they blew it, the more they prayed, the more God depicted Reimu as a goddess descending to earth, a saint in the world.
Some people also say that Reimu was a goddess sent by God the Father to serve Link in order to reward him for his contributions.
Some people also say that Reimu is the messenger of the evil gods, a demon who came to confuse Link and make Link fall, and it is reasonable and well-founded, so that some people believe it.
Seeing that the people were spreading more and more, Link had to open up the rumor, saying that Reimu was just a messenger sent by another church to form an alliance with the Father's Church, not what the people imagined, and that he and Reimu were in a pure relationship between men and women, and there were no ulterior secrets.
The benefits of a theocratic society are reflected here, if it is on the earth or in a place where faith is weak, Link's refutation of rumors will only be counterproductive, but this is Chinko Town, where the whole people believe in Link, and all of them are believers above the intermediate level, Link's words are even more useful than the holy decree, and no one will doubt it, it can be said to be unconditional trust, so as soon as Link finishes refuting the rumors, the people will no longer gossip about the matter between Link and Reimu.
However, the discussion of Reimu among the people has not been interrupted, although it is only a flash in the eye, but Reimu has indeed left a deep impression on many people, in this town where noble ladies are all rare breeds, beauties of Reimu's level are destined to become a topic of discussion for people to brag about for a long time.
But Link didn't bother to take care of this kind of thing, and after getting rid of the gossip, he decisively put his mind back on developing the church, because the messenger of the God of War Cult had arrived.
As Altaïr had predicted, the Cult of War had come to negotiate peace and wanted to redeem their captives, and although many of them had died in the battle, there were also many captives, and Link had stayed behind, and all of them were converted by confession.
However, Link didn't let those people who were converted become cultists, and the messengers of the God of War Sect wanted to redeem these people, and Link sent all the people back, it is estimated that the God of War Cult would never have dreamed that these sect members had become Link's followers, and they were willing to do anything for Link!
Link just wants these people to go back and go undercover.
Of course, although Link had decided to let people go back, he would not let the God of War Sect easily take people away, he decisively opened his mouth, and as soon as he came up, he was paid 300,000 sola compensation, so that the messenger of the God of War Sect almost left directly.
That's 300,000 solas, although the God of War Sect has a lot of income every year, but there are also a lot of various expenses, and now there are only more than 300,000 savings in the sect, Link is going to take away all the inventory of the God of War Sect when he opens his mouth, how can the messenger of the God of War Sect agree?
So, the two sides began to argue, but no matter what the messenger of the God of War Sect said, Link would not let go, he must be 300,000 solas, making it clear that he knew that the money of the God of War Sect must be enough, which made the messenger of the God of War Sect a little suspicious whether the high-level of the sect was out of the inner jiān, otherwise how would Link know that the God of War Sect had 300,000 sola savings?
Seeing that crying poor and pretending to be pitiful were ineffective, the messenger of the God of War Cult threatened that if Link must be scorching, the God of War Church and the Father God Cult would fight to the death.
In the face of the messenger's threat, Link smiled, and then took him to the dungeon to meet a person, and when he saw the person, the messenger's face suddenly changed, and without saying a word, he agreed to all of Link's requests, as if he was afraid that Link would regret it.
The person Link showed the emissary to none other than Altaïr, the leader of Assassin's Creed!
It turned out that after the envoy arrived, Altaïr asked Link to lock him in a dungeon and pose as a prisoner, so that the messengers of the Ares Cult could cast a rat trap, and Altaïr also said that with the importance of the Ares Cult's higher-ups, let alone 300,000 solas, he would agree to use 300,000 solas plus a third of the church in exchange.
As a result, in the end, in addition to the 300,000 solas, the Champ de War churches in other towns around Cenko Town were also compensated to Link, and in order to prevent the God of War cult from cheating, Link also said that this ransom must wait until all the ransom money is paid before everyone is released, and before that, they will release as many people as the God of War teaches them, and the most important thing Altaïr will naturally be released last.
In the end, the envoy of the God of War Cult went back with a contract to sell almost one-fifth of the God of War Cult, and when the high-level leaders of the God of War Sect saw the content of the contract, it was estimated that they would directly use the messenger to sacrifice the flag to vent their anger.
However, no matter how angry he was, as long as Altaïr was still in the Father's God Cult, the God of War Sect would not dare to mess around, and the compensation would still be obediently offered, after all, Altaïr, as a third-order assassin, was much more valuable than compensation.
With the 300,000 compensation of the God of War Cult, the funds of the Father's Religion were suddenly much more abundant, although the Father's Cult made a lot of money during this time, but there was not much left after the expenditure, the key is that there are more people and more expenses, and the orphanage and school have already started construction, coupled with miscellaneous expenses, resulting in Link not having much money on hand.
I have to say that opening schools and orphanages is really expensive, just buying materials and hiring labor is a lot of money, plus after the construction is completed, teachers and staff will be recruited, and the follow-up expenses are also staggering, Link was shocked when he first saw the financial report, and he also understood why the education standard of the Sola Kong World was so low.
If the productive forces are insufficient, and the people of the country are poor, how can there be extra money to open schools in every town? If we do that, it is estimated that it will not be long before civil strife breaks out in that country. So, even if they knew that opening schools and orphanages was a good thing, not many people were willing to do it, and even fewer supported it.
However, no matter how difficult it is, Link's determination to open an orphanage and school will not waver, and he believes that if he survives the initial difficult period, his ambition of opening an orphanage and school wherever his Father's faith can be realized will eventually be realized.
