Working Prophet

"But those lizard people have now come out of the swamp, and you have given them a piece of land to thrive on." Priest Tessa said solemnly.

"Yes, before that they defeated my guards and slaughtered my subjects everywhere, even all the way to Teacup Castle. The subjects who died in their hands were all Pisiya's believers. If I don't find If they have a place to stay well, more believers of the goddess will suffer." Miss Rabbit defended.

"Actually, before this, I asked for help from the church and other nobles in the Western Region, but very few were willing to lend a helping hand. I had no choice but to do so."

The old priest shook his head, "I don't know much about politics, but I can understand your difficulties... It's just that if I remember correctly, those lizardmen originally worshiped an evil god named Sosokus, but they now believe in But it’s the foreign god called Saturday.”

"Well, that's not really true... Sosokus is originally an incarnation of Saturday."

When Priest Tessa heard this, a slightly displeased look appeared on her wrinkled face.

"This kind of lie may be able to deceive those barbaric and ignorant lizard people who have lived in the swamp all their lives, but since you are the head of the Arias family and the owner of this territory, you are definitely not a fool, so why bother to use such words? Me, or do you think I'm going to be as stupid as those lizard men?"

The girl was a little embarrassed by what was said, and before she could speak, the old priest continued, "In addition, I heard that you also gave the foreigner named Merlin the power to form a cult in the Green Fields."

"It's not the Green Field. To be precise, it's just a small piece of land to the west of the Green Field. Besides, it's an established fact that those lizard people believe in Saturday. I gave Merlin the power to form a religious order so that he can better restrain those lizard people. .” Miss Rabbit explained patiently.

However, the old priest made her speechless with just one sentence, "But you are still a believer of the goddess."

"Since you are a believer of the goddess, how can you allow other pagans to establish their religious orders in your territory and worship their gods?!"

Miss Rabbit scratched her head. She was not afraid of Priest Tessa.

Although the latter has a high reputation in the Western Region, especially in the Black Rock City area, because of his many years of saving lives and healing the wounded.

But as the old priest said herself, she doesn't care much about politics. The reason why she came to investigate today is probably not because of the instructions of the Silver Moon Church, but simply because she can't stand what someone has done recently.

I feel that the new lord of Green Field may have gone astray, and someone needs to stand up and criticize and correct him in time.

Ilea felt guilty because she was told the truth by Priest Tessa.

The girl also found that she had indeed become less and less pious in recent times. Not only did she allow Li Yu to establish a religious order, but she also secretly promised Li Yu to preach in a small area early in the morning.

The key is that she complains about the goddess much more than before, and sometimes she even feels distrustful of the goddess and feels that the goddess is of no use.

This had never happened before meeting Li Yu. She was full of awe and unconditional love for the goddess when she was studying in the temple.

It had only been a short time, but she had already become corrupted to such an extent that some time ago she was even seriously considering the gains and losses of switching to Saturday.

If she left it alone, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before she really lost the favor of the goddess if she continued like this.

Priest Tessa's admonition was like a basin of ice water, which made Miss Rabbit feel alert and alert at the same time.

The girl said gratefully, "I understand. You are right. I did not do well during this period. No wonder there are always various disasters in the territory. This must be the warning given to me by the goddess. I will go and get rid of the goddess' Copy and recite the hymns carefully several times."

The old priest was very satisfied with the young lord's attitude, and his tone and demeanor softened a lot, "It's not too late to make amends. It's not easy for you to realize your mistake so quickly.

"Especially for young people like you, introspection is an excellent and rare quality. Ilea, as long as you can maintain your devotion to the goddess, restrain your desires, be considerate of your subjects, show kindness and Be tolerant, and you will definitely become an outstanding lord in the future."

"Thank you for your teaching." Miss Rabbit was so flattered by the praise that her ears twitched.

After seeing off Priest Tessa, Ilea, just as she promised, went to the room where the Arias family kept books, and pulled out the sacred book from the shelf that had not been opened since returning to the green field. Poems.

Dust it off.

I found paper and pen and carefully copied the hymns inside.

The whole afternoon, until sunset, the girl lay on the table like this. Her wrists hurt when she was copying, but her little face was full of energy.

I feel like the impetuous and anxious feeling I had before has disappeared, and my soul seems to have settled down again.

After breathing a little sigh of relief and rubbing her wrists again, Ilea ate the dinner brought in by the maid while she rested.

At her request, today's dinner was very simple. It was white bread with a piece of bacon stewed together with the newly harvested carrots.

Miss Rabbit decided to set an example and advocate frugality in the territory, so that in times of disaster, more grain reserves could be used to help the poor who did not have enough to eat.

She also plans to write another letter to the Silver Moon Church, asking them to send some more people to her territory to spread the glory of the goddess, so as to alleviate the pain and panic caused by the previous looting of the Eliminator Lizardmen to ordinary people.

There are also the remnants of the Wetin family, not just Jane, Ilea noticed that many people's health does not seem to be very good, but it is not life-threatening for the time being, but it cannot be left alone.

No matter what, they will be the citizens of the green field from now on, and Miss Rabbit also plans to ask the herbalist in the territory to check and treat them...

Ilea spent a full and busy day in this way.

In the middle of the night, Li Yu arrived as promised, and suddenly appeared in front of her out of nowhere, and the girl had long been accustomed to this, and even nodded to Li Yu to say hello.

Li Yu was carrying a bag of steel tape measures, a spirit level, and a stainless steel trowel and asked Ilea, "Is there anything I can do for you here?"

Miss Rabbit put down the hymn book in her hand and shook her head lightly, "No, nothing happened recently, and I'm not a child anymore, I can't ask you for help whenever I have something, I have to learn to face difficulties by myself."

"Yeah. If you're okay, I'll go to the Lizardman."
