Noble Emblem

541 Negotiated

Young people are young people, with arrogance on their faces, and they don't hide anything. When they ask, they need my help.

If it were a more diplomatic middle-aged city lord, he would probably say: Is there anything I can help you with?

Generally speaking, the latter makes people feel more comfortable listening, but Beta prefers the former, because when dealing with such people, there is generally no need to expend too much effort.

Beta nodded and smiled and said: "I am the priest of the Cult of Wealth. I want to promote this religion here, so in accordance with the rules, I came here to tell you. In addition, this is the teaching of our religion."

Most city lords don't have much favorable impressions of a religious cult that comes to develop believers in their city. After all, no one wants others to share their power.

The same was true for Roderick. He held the book in his hand, shook his head and said, "There is already a Zoroastrian sect in this city."

"I know, that's why I asked the Caliph to tell me about the customs and customs around here." When talking to young guys, you have to keep your words quiet. Most of them don't like that kind of convoluted talk. Beta knew this very well: "And for Zoroastrianism, in fact, the city lord, you probably don't like it very much."

Roderick was silent, with a little anger on his young face.

Of course, this anger is not directed at Beta, but at Zoroastrianism.

Zoroastrianism can barely be considered a neutral sect. From the word 'reluctantly' we can see that there is definitely something annoying and even disgusting about Zoroastrian teachings.

For example, people in Zoroastrianism believe that if strong wine can burn, it means that the wine contains fire element. According to the teachings of Zoroastrianism, fire element is one of the basic elements placed in the world by the God of Fire. Mortals use it to burn fire. If you have fire element, you have to believe in the God of Fire. If you don't believe in the God of Fire and use fire element for commercial activities, you will have to 'pay tax'.

Therefore, anyone who makes or sells wine within the Zoroastrian Church must pay sales tax to the Zoroastrian Church.

In the bitter cold in the north, most people are addicted to alcohol, and the sales volume of alcohol is definitely not low. But the Zoroastrian Cult immediately caused the price of alcohol to rise significantly.

The wine merchants were miserable. They had to pay a tax to the lord, and then had to pay a high tax to the Zoroastrian Cult. The price of ordinary ale was two or three glasses of other places, let alone spirits.

The tyranny of Zoroastrian Cult does not stop at this point. Their teachings are very exclusive. For example, girls in the cult are not allowed to marry outside. If anyone dares to disobey, they will be directly 'killed with glory'.

When a woman from a foreign religion marries a woman, she must first go on a hunger strike for three days and drink only water to remove the dirt of the foreign religion and cleanse her body.

In short, this is a very domineering sect, and many city lords don't like them, but there is no way. It is bitterly cold in the north, and where the Zoroastrian sect builds churches, the temperature will increase to a certain extent in a large area, which is very important to the bitter cold in the north. It is a very important thing for local people.

This is also the reason why Zoroastrianism only flourishes in the north and is weak in the south.

Roderick flipped through the Woking Doctrine without any interest, and quickly put it aside. He asked: "It is true that I don't like the Vulcan Cult very much, but for us Northlanders, it is indispensable. Of course, you should also understand the role it plays in our Northland."

"I know that it is possible to increase the temperature of a city in winter." Beta smiled: "Actually, this is not a special ability. Our Waking Temple can do the same, or even do it better."

Roderick's face changed slightly: "Can you guarantee that your words are not exaggerated?"

"This is absolutely not an exaggeration." Beta said firmly: "The most important thing is that our God of Wealth will only teach people to be good and will not interfere in the internal affairs of any country or city."

Roderick was a little hesitant, but he was obviously tempted.

"We can guarantee that the soul of the lamb belongs to the goddess, and the body will always belong to you, the Lord of the City."

"Sounds interesting."

Roderick wanted to suppress his excitement, but because he was too young and his acting skills were not perfect yet, anyone with a little glance could see how he was feeling at this time.

"You can build a temple first. If the temple is completed and it is indeed effective, then I will give you special permission to preach here."

Beta nodded slightly, then stood up: "City Lord, you will never regret today's decision."

City Lord Roderick watched Beta leave, and then said to the housekeeper: "Let's put the matter on hold for the caliphate for now."

The housekeeper was a little confused: "Isn't this too cheap for the Caliphate?"

"The Caliph is just an insignificant little person. Playing with him is just my interest." Roderick touched his chin, where there was already a beard: "Compared with my territory, it doesn't matter at all. If What the priest said is true, and things are very beneficial to us."

"But what if it's fake?"

Roderick smiled sinisterly: "So what if it's fake, we have nothing to lose. If the God of Wealth wants to preach in this city, it will definitely conflict with the Zoroastrian Cult. No matter who is born or what age, it is nothing to us. Good thing.”

The butler understood what Roderick was thinking after thinking about it.

The existence of Zoroastrianism is a huge mountain weighing on the hearts of the lords of the North.

If someone could replace it and not interfere with the internal affairs and taxation of the territory, then I believe that many lords would be happy to go to Zoroastrianism and perish.

Beta left the city lord's mansion and said to Peter, who had been waiting outside for a long time and was covered with a layer of snow velvet: "Go and invite the best house builders in the city... Jiwu, I want the best. Tell him that I have a big business to hand over to him... In addition, you can help me find out where there is a large piece of land for sale in this city. If the matter is done, your reward will be indispensable. "

Peter was so happy that his body was almost trembling. He knew that the Caliph got a gold coin just for chatting casually with the noble in front of him.

He doesn't have much ability, but if he gets things done, the noble man will reward himself with at least ten silver coins when he is happy.

Money can inspire most people to work efficiently, and Peter left happily.

Beta turned around and went to the outskirts of the Zoroastrian church. Since he was destined to conflict with the Zoroastrian church, he had to find out the other party's true and false status.

Beta not only observed it himself, but also released Jeanne.

Until evening, Beta discovered that there were only a few Zoroastrian priests in the city who could fight.

The highest level is the archbishop here, which is only LV7.

It is not difficult to deal with the Zoroastrian Cult here, but the difficult thing is how to hold on to the victory. He cannot stay here forever. After all, he will have to go back to take charge of the wetland sooner or later.

You have to choose someone who is trustworthy, has good abilities, and understands management to help.
