Noble Emblem

Hank left the temple in embarrassment. Everyone knew that the divine punishment had taken effect. Then Liang Lidong was surprised to find that the system prompted him that more than a dozen light believers were born, and then he gained 4 temple contribution points, and Increase piety by 2.

A purely conciliatory policy is not a panacea. Appropriate displays of force will also win respect and recognition. Liang Lidong closed the temple management interface. He looked at the children below who had not fully recovered from the surprise, and the dozen or so adults sitting in the back who looked a little at a loss, and said: "Next, I will teach you combat skills. ...In terms of weapons, I only know swordsmanship. As for magic, my theoretical knowledge is not bad. You must consider which path you want to take. Of course, if you are confident in yourself, you can learn magic and swordsmanship together, but Based on my observations during this period, there is no such talent among you, or there may be, but I have not discovered it."

This remark was suspected of being derogatory, but no one present felt that there was anything wrong. The children here were all students of Lidong Lidong. They had known each other for more than half a year and they admired their teacher very much. Even if Lidong scolded them as idiots, They won't have any complaints, not to mention that this is just a well-intentioned advice, the tone is more direct and not tactful, but there is no malice.

"It usually takes a long time to develop combat expertise. If family conditions do not allow it, and you have little patience, I recommend not to become a professional." Liang Lidong stood behind the stone table and slowly glanced at him with stern eyes. Children below: "In addition, professionals can easily get involved in inexplicable battles. People who are timid or don't like fighting are not recommended to become professionals."

Although the children did not dare to make contact with Liang Lidong's serious eyes and lowered their heads one by one, none of them left.

"Okay, since you all have confidence in yourself, let's learn from each other first." Liang Lidong sighed, and then said harmoniously: "Kyle and Beilin, the children will be left to you, teach them well. , and when any of them are almost done practicing, bring them over to see me."

good!

Understood!

The boy and girl responded almost at the same time. Liang Lidong looked at the people below and said, "Okay, that's the end of today's sermon. Before disbanding, I have to convey two ideas to everyone. First of all, the church in our Wojin Temple can be left to its own devices. Everyone rests and prays here, no matter you are a noble, a commoner, or even a beggar, because all living beings are equal before God. Our only request is that you must keep quiet."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised, especially the adults at the back. They all knew that other temples would not allow civilians to come in and out.

"The second point is that our Wojin Temple can use divine magic to treat everyone's injuries and diseases. Of course, this has to be paid. The disease is divided into four levels according to the severity. The most basic minor injuries and illnesses only cost five coins. Copper coins, and the most troublesome serious disease will cost three gold coins. Of course, I believe that ordinary civilians will never suffer from serious illness under the protection of the goddess, and they will only have minor injuries and pain at most."

Liang Lidong looked at the stunned people below and smiled. He didn't know how many people understood the meaning of his words. Because he could soon redeem the divine spell, he planned to exchange it for the disease-dispelling spell... Therefore, Liang Lidong planned to use the temple as a medical point to provide services to nearby people, so that he could quickly accumulate the power of faith and expand the group of believers.

Exorcism is a very practical magic. At first glance, the disease-dispelling spell is an auxiliary magic, but in fact, it plays a very important role in this magical world. Not to mention that any living thing may get a disease. When the time comes, this magic can play a very important role. Another reason for its great effect is that many magics can cause quite bad disease phenomena, such as plague, etc... Most disease-like physiological phenomena, or magical phenomena, can be relieved by the use of exorcism, no matter where they are. At that time, the art of exorcising diseases was an excellent divine art, and it was also one of the most common divine arts.

In addition, for problems that cannot be solved by exorcism, Liang Lidong can also use magic scrolls to achieve his goals. Magic can indeed be regarded as a kind of 'destruction', but at the same time it is also a kind of 'creation', and it can also be regarded as a kind of 'processing'. It all depends on how the user of magic views their abilities.

From now on, in the temple, ordinary people, no matter how serious their illness or exaggerated injuries, will be treated as "minor injuries and minor pains" for a fee. If a noble comes... haha, the condition will increase by one level. The money from the nobles is easy to make, but they are also afraid of death. As long as they catch one, they will try their best to "trap" them and use the money obtained from the nobles to ordinary people, which can be regarded as a disguised form of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor".

Speaking of 'robbing the rich and giving to the poor', Liang Lidong remembered that he still had things to deal with. After announcing the disbandment with his students, he went to the village chief Reed's house alone. The old village chief was sitting in front of the door basking in the sun. When he saw Liang Lidong, he was a little surprised: "Oh, Mr. Beta is not in charge of affairs in the temple, but he actually came to visit me, old man. What a rare visitor."

There was a hint of displeasure in the old village chief's tone. It seemed that he had been 'earned' a hundred gold coins by the temple, accumulated over several generations, so he felt a little awkward. Liang Lidong could understand the old man's obsession with money, after all, it was the foundation for a stable life.

"No need to be so 'polite'." Liang Lidong smiled with a hint of a smile on his face: "When I come this time, I just want to ask you to send the gold coins I stored in your home to the temple. In addition, there are I want to do something, but this matter requires your nod."

The old village chief sat up straight: "Oh, please tell me if you have anything to say."

"I plan to organize Reed." Liang Lidong took out a few pieces of parchment from his space backpack: "This is the plan I drew. I plan to pave all the roads in the village with stone slabs, and then draw some In addition, we need to dig a large pit in the mountain behind the village, build a sealed cesspool, and build a large toilet separated by men and women nearby. There is now excrement flowing everywhere in the village. When the weather is cold, It’s nothing. When the weather is hot, it is easy for germs to breed and become the source of disease.”

The old village chief was not very interested in the parchment in Liang Lidong's hand. He said slowly: "Your Excellency Beta, it is already the time for spring plowing, and we don't have much spare energy to do such things. If we don't do farm work, we will There will be no food rations to eat after autumn.”

"You don't need to worry about this, the temple will pay for it." Liang Lidong put away the drawings and said word by word: "I only want young and strong laborers, up to twenty people. Each laborer can get seven copper coins after working for one day. If they can complete the work I specified within five months, then each person will be awarded an additional five silver coins. Goddess Woking never takes advantage of others. She is the god of business and will only benefit each other. This is a tribute to the temple. , and things that are beneficial to the villagers.”

The old village chief sighed: "We have lived here for hundreds of years for generations. The village has always been like this. It has never changed. Mr. Beta, if I don't agree, what will you do?"

Liang Lidong just smiled and said nothing.

"It seems that I have to agree." The old man said lonelyly, looking up at the sky with great concentration, as if there was a god he worshiped in the sky.

Seeing that the old man was trapped in his own world, Liang Lidong turned around and walked away without disturbing him. Building a few flagstone paths in Reed Village is just the first step. He plans to slowly 'distribute' these 2,000 gold coins to the villagers through work. When the villagers have money, they will naturally come to the temple to receive blessings. Giving alms, or even paying for physical healing.

Then Liang Lidong distributed the collected money to the villagers through various working methods. In this way, a small wealth circulation circle will be formed nearby. The temple's release work should be focused on infrastructure, such as building bridges, building roads, etc. As time goes by, the reputation of the temple will become better and better, and the number of believers will naturally increase.

Of course, this was just Liang Lidong's idea, and he couldn't guarantee whether it would succeed.

The next day, after hearing what the village chief said, many young and middle-aged people came to apply for jobs at the temple gate. For the villagers, seven copper coins a day, even if it did not include food or accommodation, was still worth it. After all, two kilograms of brown rice are only worth three copper coins. When Beta Priest opened his mouth, each person was worth seven copper coins. This was already a very generous treatment.

The old village chief watched from afar as the young men in the village went to the temple gate to wait for Beta's selection. He picked up a dead leaf on the ground, and now he was like this fallen leaf, falling aside without anyone caring or noticing. Since Beta came to Reed Village, the village chief has found that his appeal is getting worse day by day. Now the villagers only know Beta as a spell caster and respect him very much. They tell him everything through their children and consult with him, but they seem to have forgotten it. Reed is the leader of this village.

I'm old and obsolete! The old village chief threw away the dead leaves in his hands and walked home slowly.
