Chapter 7 Cat Careerist
In the study, Ma Wei stared at the flickering flames in the glass cup, stunned.
He was thinking about how to grow the Church of Truth.
According to his previous plan, the church could establish a firm foundation in New Ross and then send a few missionaries to the surrounding cities to grow step by step.
The process is slow, and the good thing is that there is no risk, and the church doesn't have to worry about funding, but....
Now the situation has changed dramatically, and the arrival of the gods has directly broken the old model, and the church is no longer a tool used by the royal family to manipulate the minds of the common people, but has become the dominant power.
The stronger the church that he relies on, the more benefits, resources, land, and people he can receive.
As it expands, so does the strength of the church, the stronger the stronger, the weaker.... By that time, there will simply be no weakling.
There is no room for a weak church.
Fortunately, the gods had just arrived yesterday, and no matter how fast the church responded, it would not be able to respond immediately in this era of lag in news.
Especially for those big churches, it takes a lot of time to convey orders, such as the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, which has millions of believers, they exist in various towns and villages in the Kingdom of Windsor, and the Pope in the royal capital gives a command to all churches, how long does it take to deliver it?
10 days, 15 days, or even longer....
This gives Mavi a valuable buffer and is the greatest advantage of the Church of Truth.
We must seize the opportunity to grow and grow the church as quickly as possible to cope with the great changes that will follow.
And if you want to develop quickly, the most convenient way is naturally to get the support of those in power, if Arthur, the fourth prince of the city lord, and those nobles are willing to support the Church of Truth, then the Church of Truth will definitely be able to occupy the entire New Russia City in the shortest possible time!
But how to make the church favored by the four princes and nobles?
Just as Ma Wei was thinking hard, Xiao Hei came to him quietly, rubbing his head at his feet and coquettishly: "Master... The host meows... Blackie wants to play with balls of yarn...."
Ma Wei calmly opened the drawer, took out the thread ball that had been prepared long ago, threw it on the ground, and then continued to think about the problem.
Xiao Hei pounced excitedly, rolled on the floor with a ball of yarn, and played carefree.
Lying on the windowsill, the fat orange who looked at the moonlight heard the sound, jumped off the windowsill, walked to the table with elegant cat steps, and jumped up, looking that his fat body was so agile.
"What are you thinking?" Fat Orange asked.
Mavi glanced at it, "On the sustainability of the church." ”
"Speak human words."
You have a cat that wants to listen to people?
Is....
complained in his heart, Ma Wei had no choice but to say his thoughts, it didn't matter if Fat Tang could understand it or not, he could just use the opportunity to explain and straighten out his thoughts.
Unexpected....
After listening to it, Fat Orange expressed his opinion for the first time.
"I heard you say before that the fourth prince Arthur is the illegitimate son of the king, he is different from his three elder brothers, because he has no background power, so the archbishop and the nobles are unwilling to support him, and the king Rhodes IV is already old, and the matter of competing for the crown is surging, at this juncture, the powerless fourth prince was expelled from the royal capital and appointed to this frontier land as the lord of the city..."
Under Ma Wei's surprised gaze, Fat Orange said calmly: "So the fourth prince himself has no church background, which is essentially different from the city lords of other cities, I'm afraid that you chose to settle in New Ross City in the first place, and this reason is indispensable.... From the very beginning, you planned to take advantage of, or rather cooperate with the fourth prince, but unfortunately there have been too many trivial matters in the church over the years, and you have not been able to find the opportunity. ”
“..... Being a cat is so wronged by you. Mavi was dumbfounded.
That's all there is to it....
What a genius among the proper cats!
Staying in his own small temple is really wronged by the fat orange Buddha.
"What about cats?"
Fat Orange raised his head and said disdainfully: "Can't cats be ambitious?" ”
"Yes, of course."
Ma Wei smiled: "So what are your ambitions?" ”
"Dominate the world!"
“......”
A cat who wants to rule the world?
What kind of monster did you raise....
Ma Wei couldn't help but laugh.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, I never need others to point me at my work."
Fat Tangerine said calmly: "To be serious, when I went out foraging for food today, I found a very strange thing. ”
"What's strange?"
"Rat meat doesn't taste right."
"Have you taken the rat pill?!"
Ma Wei instantly straightened up and stepped forward to check the situation of the fat orange: "How many times have I told you, don't eat the rats outside, it's not like there is nothing for you to eat at home... If you don't want to rob the butchers' meat! ”
"I'm fine, don't touch me." Fat Tangerine stretched out his meat claws, slapped Ma Wei's palm away, and said coldly: "The rat that eats the mouse medicine will emit an unpleasant smell of death, how can I eat it?" ”
"And those butchers have already colluded with you, I will rob with the front foot, and you will pay with the back foot, is this called robbery? Now they laugh when they see me! What's more, they even asked me to eat more! Isn't it insulting to the IQ of this cat? ”
As soon as he heard that he hadn't taken the mouse medicine, Ma Wei's hanging heart also fell, leaned back, spread his hands and said, "If you hadn't spoken today, who would have known that your IQ was so high.... What's wrong with paying, it's only natural to pay for food! ”
"Alright, who cares about this."
Fat Orange glanced at Xiao Hei, who was playing greedily on the ground, and said: "I'm not kidding, the taste of rat meat in the city has indeed changed, although the taste is the same as usual, but after biting the skin, there will be a faint black gas coming out of it!" ”
Black gas?
Ma Wei frowned, and before he could ask, he heard Fat Tang add: "There are already three cats poisoned in the city today, let me remind you, this thing is not ordinary, there must be cats in it!" ”
"You also ate rat meat, why didn't you get poisoned?"
"It should be the power of the gift that the goddess Unia gave me that has played a role." Fat Tangerine said: "After that black gas entered my body, it quickly disappeared, and I have already informed the stray cats in the city not to eat rats in the near future, and to simply hunt and gather the corpses." ”
"Where is the body?"
"Backyard."
"You piled dead rats in our backyard?!"
"I warn you not to eat it, it's really poisonous in the meat!"
“......”
His lips squirmed twice, and Ma Wei was speechless for a while.
Finally, he stood up, picked up Xiao Hei, who was playing on the ground, and said:
"Let's go to the backyard and see how it's going."
