Chapter 313: Premeditated

"God is merciful, and He has brought seed to the world to have a good harvest and be free from famine......"

Antonio stood on a stone and preached his teachings to the gathered villagers.

The teachings he preached were not very demagogic, but the words he said spoke to the hearts of these villagers.

Combined with the miraculous golden wheat waves, it is particularly attractive.

"He is the protector of the peasants, the ...... behind all laborers"

"Do we have the support behind us? can we refuse the officials when they come to collect taxes, like the peasants who grow wheat for the nobility?" the maroon-haired village chief asked, looking at him.

God only guarantees reasonable behavior, and resisting taxes is not reasonable behavior, and God does not encourage such behavior. ”

Antonio hurriedly denied it.

If other kings knew that they were agitating the peasants not to pay taxes, the agricultural church would not want to go to other countries to develop believers.

He then added, "But resisting unreasonable taxation is a reasonable behavior, and God encourages it." ”

"After we don't believe in the god of cool officials, is it unreasonable for the officials to levy a high faith tax on us?" the village chief couldn't help but ask.

It turns out that this tax is called the faith tax, Antonio nodded, "Of course it's unreasonable." ”

Seeing the priest say this, the village chief became excited, "Then will you be our back?"

You don't want to resist taxes for a long time, Antonio stared at the village chief who never left the three sentences and never paid taxes, controlled his facial expression, and said in a divine tone: "God is the support of all believers. ”

He did not hit the village chief again.

Helping believers fight against taxes can easily attract the hostility of the rulers of those kingdoms and kings, but it is not the same to resist unreasonable taxes, so why should our believers in the god of agriculture pay more taxes?

Believers are treated unjustly, and isn't it reasonable for oneself as a pastor to stand up for believers?

As for whether the city of Burgunchester or even the kingdom would do anything to him, he was not worried at all, a kingdom with no name on the mainland could not do anything about him, and if the Temple of Cool Officials intervened......

He wished that the Cool Officials Temple would intervene, so that it would become a confrontation between the two churches, or even between the gods, the god of agriculture behind him was a powerful divine power, even among the gods, it was also an existence at the second top, a powerful existence disguised as a god and a powerful divine power above the god level 15 were undoubtedly looking for death.

Hearing Antonio's words, the village chief prayed as if he had taken a reassuring pill, "Thank you to the gods for your help, thank you for the help of Mr. Pastor." ”

"Praise ...... the great god of agriculture"

The villagers shouted one after another, who doesn't believe it?

Compared to the god of cool officials who made themselves pay taxes, the god of agriculture who brought them a good harvest and helped them support them was obviously more worthy of their own belief.

While they were praising the god of agriculture, footsteps in the distance came from far and near, rapidly approaching.

"The tax collectors are coming again. After the village chief saw the other party's clothes, he quickly looked for Antonio to reconfirm while he was still close, "If we don't pay unreasonable taxes, will you really help us?"

You really plan to resist taxes, Antonio muttered in his heart, his face extremely sacred, "The believers of our lord should not bear taxes that should not be borne by them. ”

After listening to the pastor's words, the village chief's hanging heart also fell.

They didn't want to pay taxes for a long time.

Over the decades, the city of Burgunchester has demanded more and more taxes from them, such as the temple tax for the construction of the temple of the god of coolers, the cleaning tax for the cleaning of the city of Burgunchester, and the anti-robber tax for the fight against foreign robbers...... Every year, the tax is raised.

And these taxes have not been reduced since they were added, and the temple of the god of cool officials has been built for decades, and the temple tax has to be paid every year, and they are not allowed to ask.

Last year, his son was kicked by the tax collector when he asked, and he lay at home and rested for half a month.

Tax, who blessed himself with the grace and magic of the wind, was stunned at first when he saw the heavy golden wheat in the field, and then walked up and asked, "Is this the wheat planted last year or the wheat planted this year?"

"This is the wheat that has been planted this year, the wheat that has been planted in the last few days to be exact. ”

Antonio took a diagonal step, walked to the front, faced the tax collector, and said in a tone full of divine sticks: "They believe in our lord, so our lord sends a miracle and gives them the joy of a good harvest." ”

The tax collector did not notice Antonio until this time, he looked at his white priest's robe, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Which church pastor?"

"The Agricultural Church!"

Agricultural churches?

The church that the adults want me to overtax?

The tax collector took a breath, suppressed the cringe in his heart, and said boldly: "This priest, do you know that in the city of Burgunchester, believers who do not believe in the god of cool officials need to pay an additional faith tax?"

"Yes. Antonio nodded slowly and said calmly, "But I don't think it's reasonable." ”

"The faith tax was set by the city lord's mansion. ”

"Before you came here, the Church of the Dawn, the Church of Justice, and the Church of Order all agreed with this law. ”

"If you do not accept the faith tax, then I will expel your agricultural church according to the laws of the city of Burgunchester. ”

"When the time comes, you and your god will leave the city of Burgunchester. ”

Rumble!

A silvery-white bolt of lightning fell out of thin air, striking about a centimeter in front of the tax collector's feet, and the electric snake spread in all directions.

The tax collector screamed, his hands and feet shook unconsciously, and he provoked an unknown dance.

"This is a punishment for your disrespect to our God. Antonio opened his eyes and said: "My God is the true God, and according to the Continental Convention, the Church of the True God is qualified to preach anywhere in the Lord plane, and no one or church can be expelled." ”

"Go back and tell the people who instigated you to come that if they dare to collect unreasonable taxes on the followers of our gods, I, Antonio, the legendary agricultural druid of career level 22, will visit them personally. ”

"When the time comes, it's either me who kills them, or they kill me. ”

......

In the kingdom of God, Jiang Hao slowly put down his raised hand.

After Antonio moved out of his identity as a legendary professional, with the other party's bloodline warlock level of only level 14 or 15, I am afraid that it will be a while to settle down.

"In this gap, it's time for me to visit Ieta Cavendil on the Astral Plane. ”
