Noble Emblem
559 It’s better to do it than say
Seeing the seven young nobles getting excited, laughing, and ecstatic, the other nobles were so angry that they almost rushed over and beat them up.
Of course, they also knew that they were no longer the opponent of these seven people. The other party had awakened their profession. No matter how strong or weak they were, they were not something that 'mortals' like them could handle.
Finally, a noble couldn't help but stood up and asked: "Your Excellency Beta, do you still accept our donation now?"
Beta was waiting for this moment. He shook his head and said: "I don't accept it for the time being. Every time a temple is opened and the goddess leaves her divine thoughts on the statue, there will always be divine power overflowing. With the consent of the goddess, our temple can use it. These divine powers can be used to sacrifice gold coins several times, but then, the divine power projected by the goddess’s divine will will become less, and the gold coin sacrifice can only be activated once a month.”
Hearing this, almost all the nobles jumped up and shouted.
"Your Excellency Beta, please accept my donation. I will give you fifty gold coins."
"You can only offer fifty gold coins? Go away, you poor man. Mr. Beta, I will offer you one hundred gold coins."
"I'll pay two hundred."
"Don't argue. I'll pay you four hundred. Who dares to argue with me again?"
When Beta saw that they were almost fighting, he pressed his hands down, and an invisible pressure silenced everyone. Then he said slowly: "Don't worry, there is still a spot tomorrow. For the sake of fairness, we will adopt a fair bidding method."
Next, Beta explained his expected bidding method. All the nobles sitting here are not stupid. They quickly understood the benefits of doing this. They could avoid malicious price increases and get the quota at a relatively reasonable price. The next step was to see who had better luck.
Luck is fair to everyone. In this world, there is no such thing as Europeans and Africans.
Temple opening day, held perfectly. Many onlookers quickly became casual believers. Although the group of shallow believers is quite casual, and can even be described as drifting, it is undeniable that there are generally a lot of them. Although the power of faith generated by each person is very small, the number of people they produce cannot be maintained in large numbers. The power of faith is not much worse than that of fanatic believers.
In any case, the Temple of Wealth has gained a firm foothold here. The next step is to build a faith connection that cannot be captured by ordinary means.
After the others left, the Caliph and Pitt remained.
Beta took out from the space a total of 500 gold coins donated by the nobles some time ago.
These gold coins are enough to build a medium-sized noble family. A large pile of gold is spread on the ground, which makes people's eyes dazzled when they look at it.
It used to be that Pete liked gold coins, but now that he has become a professional, his vision has become much higher. Although he still loves money, he can now use his willpower to resist the temptation of money.
"The money will be divided into two parts later. You will take half of it to the Caliph, and you will take the other half to Peter."
The two looked at Beta in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that, this money is not for you." Beta smiled and waved her hand: "Pete, take this money and recruit workers. Those who are orphans and widowed, and whose families are really in need, will be given priority. The wages will not be paid." Try to be higher than what is available on the market and let them help build roads. Our goal is to pave all the roads in the city with stone slabs within six months.”
Both of them could see that Beta was doing good deeds by building roads.
Peter thought for a while and said: "If the money is divided, it should be more than two hundred gold coins. Although it is a lot, it is not enough to build the entire city's roads, and they are all made of stone slabs."
Beta said: "Don't worry, there will be additional supplementary funds every month. Don't forget, there is a quota auction every month. Nobles and wealthy businessmen will always be our cash machines."
The two of them didn't know what cash machine meant, but that didn't stop them from understanding the meaning of the sentence.
Peter felt his scalp was numb. It was such a great idea to use the money of nobles to do good deeds.
"Caliph, take the money and go help those poor people who have no houses to live in, or who can only live in dilapidated houses." Beta said slowly: "You are now a priest, elite level, ordinary people in front of you, you look at You can tell if he is lying. You can definitely tell who should be helped and who should not be helped.”
The Caliph squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked: "Is this the way we preach in the Temple of Wealth?"
Beta nodded: "Yes, it is also said in the teachings. No matter how beautiful the words are, they are all false. Down-to-earth work is the truth. We don't have to preach to people with our mouths, we only need to tell them with actions, Goddess Loving the world is enough."
The Caliph laughed loudly: "I understand, joining the Cult of Wealth is the most correct decision in my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole aura suddenly rose, and then fell back. He didn't care. He took off his coat, grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins, threw them in, wrapped them up, and then left the temple without hesitation.
Peter took a breath: "He has been promoted again. This is too exaggerated. Is he a favored one?"
Beta smiled and said: "A true scholar, after understanding the teachings, will unite knowledge and practice, and he will definitely behave like this. Peter, your foundation is really poor. Although it has been corrected by the knight system, it is still far behind compared with the caliphate." Far. I reckon the Caliphate will become a legend within a hundred years.”
Peter shook his head and sighed for a while. He was not jealous, just surprised. As a small person in the past, he is a very contented person. His wishes have now been realized. The next step is to work hard and repay the kindness seriously.
Peter packed up the remaining gold coins and took them away, while Beta took the time to go to the Fire Worship Church.
At the door of the Zoroastrian Church, Beta watched four body collectors carry away Mieff's body.
Now the Fire Worship Temple has been looted by some people, and Midev's body has been placed in the main hall without anyone paying attention. After Beta found out about this, he paid for several body collectors to bury Mieff.
After the people left and the tea was cold, after the death of the dignified Archbishop Mieff, the enemy actually had to help collect the body, which made people sigh.
In fact, this has a lot to do with the teachings of Zoroastrianism... Zoroastrianism implements the policy of worshiping the strong, and also deliberately suppresses the feelings between relatives and friends, believing that except for the fear of God, all other feelings are unnecessary.
Therefore, it would not be too strange for this kind of thing to happen.
