Chapter 7: Dinner

The dinner was sumptuous, Doreen cooked the steak herself, fried the cod pieces, and Brian's original favorite dish, the steamed egg meat roll and sprinkled with breadcrumbs, which the people of Tian'en City called "fragrant", plus the asparagus soup and many small snacks, the mother hoped that the child would be able to eat a big meal. Unfortunately, Brian's performance was not satisfactory, he always held the business minutes written by Sarina in his hand, and he was thinking about all kinds of things in his head, and he was absent-minded about food.

At present, the farthest business has done 1,200 kilometers, Sarina is worthy of being a business expert, in the clay pottery city, Ponny City, Sacred Heart City have established chamber of commerce stores, for transit and sales, recently there are also two foreign chambers of commerce, interested in the misty forest fur, game and medicinal herbs, said to establish a branch in Maple Town, related matters are being negotiated.

"Eat quickly, little Brian, and look at how merry your father is eating, like he has just been released from hunger prison. Doreen persuaded.

"Uh-huh. Brian agreed vaguely and took two bites casually, he was more concerned about the situation in the entire empire recently.

Although the Toby Chamber of Commerce has no exact source of information, and everything comes from observation and hearsay, based on these trivial records, Brian can still roughly judge the overall situation at present. After more than two months of stalemate, the territory controlled by Pope Haino is still twice as large as that of Halifax, and in terms of people, property and property, they have shown a relatively obvious advantage. Under the extreme rule of Halifax, almost everything that the commoners had was plundered, they could not even eat, and in order to have food, they had to join the temporary army and fight for the perverted pope for a living.

Many more chose to abandon their faith and flee, and a large number of homeless people were displaced to the diocese of Haino and the Duchy of Seneh, and even the most remote places such as Toby Town, where more than a hundred refugees came. The vast southern lands were filled with people who had died of hunger, disease, and wounds, and as the weather became hot, the plague began to break out again, and the two factions finally had to make a truce to escape this terrible catastrophe.

"Plague, I almost ignored, I wonder if Sarina has a potion to deal with?" Brian muttered to himself, he knew that after learning from the goblin Rami for a while, she was not satisfied with bartending and making spices, and had already begun to experiment with potions.

Congreve put down the soup bowl heavily and said, "Lao Tzu is drinking soup, what kind of plague are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry, Father. Brian smiled, he was used to the old man's paternalism.

"What's the fuss, Congreve, my son is so busy, he only has time to have a meal with us in a few days. Doreen grumbled.

"I don't drink it, I feel like there's a dead mouse in the soup. Congreve said indignantly, "Put down your stuff and I'm going to talk to you, Brian." ”

"Wait a minute, Father. "Brian was seeing something that interested him.

Recently, the Liberal and Equal Alliance has risen very rapidly, and they have been active in almost many important towns, taking advantage of the war, these people have been helping the common people, while preaching the concept of democracy, encouraging people to leave the church, and resisting oppression and exploitation. The two popes were already vigilant, and during the truce, they began to vigorously suppress the Alliance of Liberties and Equals, treating them directly as heretics.

"Did you hear that?" Congreve's tone intensified.

"Well, you say. Brian had no choice but to put down the minutes, in fact, he was also very concerned about the situation of the Marquis of Temple's fiefdom later.

"I doubt you, at all, are you a faithful believer, or are you a bishop of the region?" asked the old man angrily.

"Of course, do you want to see the power of attorney from Pope Heinault?"

"I've been observing for the past few days and haven't said anything, but today I can't help but ask questions. Second, why is it that your diocese has never been a missionary, and I have been here for nearly ten days and have not encountered a single one, and this kind of activity should be held once a week, and everyone has forgotten it? Third, all the so-called believers, they do not have the Holy Book at home, and they don't even know a single word of the Holy Book, is this called a believer, and you have fulfilled the duties of a bishop?"

Brian was depressed, he knew that sooner or later his father would have to fight for this matter, after all, the old man had been preaching for forty years, and his relationship with the goddess was stronger than that of his wife.

"That's right, Father, I took you from Heavenly Grace City in the hope that you will escape the war and enjoy your old age in peace, as for the preaching and missionary work, you better not worry about it, after you leave, the church will not pay you a salary, what are you doing for it?" Brian said the words that he had thought of a long time ago.

"You fart, is your faith measured in money?" Congreve slapped the table.

"Maybe you're not, but most people are. Brian muttered quietly.

"Okay, old man, I asked little Brian to come over for dinner today, not for you to teach him a lesson, but to talk to him about marriage, and you eat your stuff. Doreen was also on fire.

Although Congreve was righteous, he was still a little afraid, and angrily grabbed a piece of cod, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

"With me supporting you, you don't need to be afraid of your father, I see that your fiefdom is well managed, and people live happily, all of this is earned by your hard work, and it is not given by the goddess, I support you, son. Doreen glared at Congreeve, who was about to speak, and the old man swallowed the words that had slipped into his mouth.

"But you're not young anymore, it's time to consider getting married, have a few children for our Turner family, don't worry, there is a mother to take care of them. Doreen continued.

"But Mom, I don't have a suitable girlfriend yet. Brian spread his hands.

"Why not, that Sarina is good in my opinion, she is not very close to you, and the two of you are often locked in the same room for small activities. Doreen smiled, "What a good girl, she can mix and cook, she is diligent and considerate, the key is that her butt is still big, and it must be no problem to have a child." ”

"Yes, I like ****** too, but it's useless, and ****** don't like me either. ”

"Impossible. ”

"Really, Mom, she likes women, the whole town knows about it, why don't you know yet?" Brian said helplessly.

"She's ...... It's the one!" Doreen covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God!"
