To be honest, things related to theocracy, Hardy also found it troublesome.

If the believers of the evil gods make trouble, Hadi can just lead someone to run over it.

But here's the problem...... The god of marriage is the god of good.

How can the gods who protect marriages and children not be good gods.

And the nuns of these temples, although they are out of line, are not too malicious in essence.

The main thing is that the Marriage God Cult really has no money.

One of the teachings of this temple is that it is forbidden to solicit donations from believers.

The money can only be earned by the priests and nuns themselves.

But few priests and nuns know how to make money.

Therefore, the vast majority of the pastors of the god of marriage, in fact, are under the fence.

A large sect like the Cult of Light, they don't dare to mess around, but the god of the underworld is different...... The god of the underworld is also not very missionary, and he only likes cats, so in the earthly world, only the cat people believe in the god of the underworld.

Therefore...... After learning that the god of the underworld had a large temple here, the priests of the god of marriage came to rub the ground.

After Hardy understood the ins and outs of the matter, he said helplessly: "Invite the bishop of the god of marriage to me, and talk to him about something." ”

Tiana nodded and went out.

It didn't take long for an old man in a gray robe to knock on the door and walk in.

His expression was a little worried, and he looked into Hardy's eyes, looking a little timid.

"May I ask the old man's name?"

Hardy saw an old man come in, and his tone was slightly better.

If it was a young man or a middle-aged man who came in, Hardy wouldn't have such a good tone.

"Hello, Your Excellency. I am Murray, a believer in the God of Marriage. The old man's face looked a little embarrassed.

Hardy looked at each other and asked, "I heard that the matter over there in the temple was made up by the priests of your god of marriage." ”

The old man looked stunned and nodded slightly.

"Don't you have your own temple?" Hardy said helplessly: "Even if you are not good at business, you can always make some money to build a small temple by yourself." ”

"It's too small, we can't live in it." The old man Murray's expression became gloomy: "Recently, more and more pastors have fled back from the north, and more and more people have gathered in the south, and our supplies have been stretched. ”

Ha subconsciously looked at the old man and found that there were indeed several patches on his robe.

"And what about your gods, who don't care about you?"

"They...... It's a quarrel. ”

All right...... Tiana and Petola seem to have talked about it as well.

The god of marriage, the couple is arguing.

The reason is not surprising, the male god said that sex is more important than love in the life of a husband and wife, and it is the basis for maintaining an intimate relationship.

And the goddess of the woman said that love is more important than sex, and for this reason spiritual communion is the right way.

The two quarreled.

In the end, they 'separated'.

The two of them had an awkward quarrel, which made the pastors and believers below miserable.

God's power comes from faith and from affirmation of one's own path.

Now that there is a crack in their view of marriage, it will naturally lead to a significant decline in the common divine power of the two of them.

Even the magical effect of the believers has been greatly reduced.

If believers do not give strength, they will naturally not be able to carry out effective preaching, and then not only the divine power will be affected, but also the inheritance of the marriage god will be affected.

More and more moneyless, hundreds of years passed, and the marriage god religion became poorer and poorer.

Hardy felt a little distressed at this time, these people are indeed pitiful.

Rubbing his eyebrows helplessly, he said, "It's not right for you to be like this, that temple was given to the god of the underworld." ”

Murray laughed awkwardly, but said nothing about leaving the temple.

"And the way you cheat is not very good."

The eyesight of more than five hundred soldiers was affected, and this is no small matter.

The old man bent lower, but he still didn't say anything about moving out of the temple.

Hardy sighed and said, "Let's make a deal." ”

Murray raised his head and said with some surprise: "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

"As believers in the God of Marriage, your number is not as large as that of the Cult of the Illuminati, but in fact it is not small." Hardy thought for a while and said, "If you can provide information that I am interested in every month in the future, and even take the initiative to collect some information under my orders, then I can build a medium-sized temple for you here, and provide a certain amount of subsidies every month." ”

Murray's eyes widened, and he thought it was incredible.

Under the impetus of this emotion, Murray quietly pinched the flesh of his hind leg with his fingers, and after confirming that it was painful, he asked in surprise: "Your Excellency, what you said is true?" ”

"Is it interesting to lie to you?" Hardy laughed.

The old man took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, please tell me, what kind of information do you need?" ”

"Some intelligence that is not good for us Francies, and not good for me, this is something that needs to be paid attention to at all times." Hadi thought for a moment, then continued: "I will tell you in advance what kind of information I need in the future. ”

Old man Murray's eyes burst into a kind of obsessive light, and he looked at Hardy: "Your Excellency, how much can you provide. ”

"Ten gold coins a month!"

That's not a lot.

To be honest, it's even a little bit less for a temple.

But...... Old man Murray was really satisfied.

These gold coins were enough for him to buy a lot of food, and then raise the nuns in the temple for nothing.

You think they like to undress?

It's not that she is a nun, even if she takes off her clothes, ordinary people can't see it.

Without this method, they would not even have a place to live.

"If you agree, I'll have someone advance this month's allowance to you now." Hardy smiled.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Murray bent over: "We need this pay right now." ”

Half an hour later, Murray was gone, clutching on his waist a ten-gold coin.

This is the ration for those children in the temple.

After sending Murray away, Hardy had his life short invited to his study.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and my life is too short to look even haggard.

He has a long beard, greasy hair, and a gloomy expression.

"What do you look like...... It's kind of ugly. Hardy said helplessly.

Life is too short to laugh dryly, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Your Excellency Hardy?" ”

"I need to build another small temple, which belongs to the god of marriage, and it needs to be built quickly." Hardy thought for a moment and said, "And there are a lot of nuns and beauties there, maybe you will be interested?" ”

Life is short and nodded: "Leave this matter to me, what is the budget, Lord Hardy." ”

"One hundred and fifty gold coins."

"What about the floor space?"

"Six hundred square meters." Hardy pointed to the map on his desk: "On the west side of the city, the open space numbered 155 will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

"Okay." Life is too short to nod, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly asked, "Gui Verneer, is she okay?" ”

"It's okay, I've been learning lately."

Life is too short and he smiled with relief: "It seems that you have lived a very fulfilling life, so good!" (End of chapter)
