297 The countryside surrounds the city

When Greenton heard Beta's words, he said with confidence: "Since you have a plan, I won't say much. By the way, Alice is unhappy recently. If you have time, please help me enlighten her."

Beta gave Greenton a blank look: "It would be better if Kyle handled this."

But Greenton said helplessly: "Alice's unhappy thing was caused by that bastard boy. How could he come and persuade Alice again?"

Beta naturally knew what was going on, and he said helplessly: "Then I have nothing to do. Alice is trapped by love. You are a person who has experienced it. You should understand very well that in this case, outsiders will not play any role in intervening in."

But Greenton said, "I'm a veteran, so I know more clearly that when a girl is sad, if a handsome, gentle, funny and humorous man suddenly appears by her side, enlightens her and comforts her, things will become much easier, and she will gradually put her thoughts on the new man."

When Shirley heard this, she immediately stared at Greenton with a pair of big eyes, like a hen protecting food, almost making a threatening giggle.

Greenton is already a legendary powerhouse, so he naturally would not care about Shirley's little threatening look.

Beta exhaled heavily: "But the problem is, I am not handsome, nor handsome, nor have a sense of humor. So I can't help it."

"Talk your conscience when speaking." Greenton looked contemptuous: "This is the original words of your Son of Gold."

"But there is another saying among our Son of Gold, you must have heard of it." Beta said lightly: "Conscience is used to feed dogs, and moral integrity is used to throw it away. I really can't help Alice's affairs."

"Oh, forget it. My daughter is not lucky." Greenton sighed long and said, "Okay, I have been chatting with you for so long, and other people will definitely have opinions. I won't bother you anymore. I'll go to see other friends."

After Glinton finished speaking, he raised his glasses to Beta and Shirley, and then walked aside.

Because the city lord Greenton was a person with a high status and the most powerful person at the banquet, when he talked to Beta, no one was willing to come up to disturb him, nor did he dare to come up to disturb him. Now as soon as he left, three nobles immediately came over.

These three nobles came for Shirley. They surrounded her and asked Shirley various questions. Shirley handled it very well, not revealing her privacy at all, and making others feel that she was aloof and proud.

Seeing this, Beta stepped aside and let Shirley perform her best.

As a former lord, Beta understood that delegating power to allow his subordinates to complete their work or tasks independently is a very important thing. If you do everything yourself, the result will generally not be too good. Either you are exhausted to death. Or those subordinates who have been placed or neglected have complaints, they will leave at the least, and rebel at the worst.

He was drinking fruit wine on the side, watching more and more people surrounding Shirley. After all, a great beauty or a temple bishop would be very popular no matter what.

Just when Beta felt relaxed, a bald man came to him.

"I am Bud...one of the Bishops of the Temple of Light. I'm very happy to meet Lord Red."

Beta's reputation as "Red Priest" was only popular in Dongfeng City, and only a small number of people knew about it in Tonggu City. As an alien bishop of the Temple of Light, Bad had also heard of Beta's reputation. This is quite rare. Maybe before coming. He even investigated it.

"His Excellency Bad, I'll see you very high." Beta raised his glass to Bad, and asked, "I don't know if there is any great benefit to give to me when you come here!"

"I don't have any ability to give you benefits." Bard looked humble: "I have something to ask you for love."

Beta never beats people with a smile, he asked, "I don't know what I have offended you."

The word "pleading" is usually used when the two sides are planning to solve the problem in a joint manner in the semantics of Holevin.

Bad smiled: "We want to set up a temple here, you should be very clear."

Beta nodded. He had heard Glinton say this just now, so he would not forget it so soon.

"Our Temple of Light is also planning to preach in Tonggu City." Bad looked into Beta's eyes and said, "It's just that we're late. Logically, we shouldn't continue preaching in places where you Wojin Temple is there. It's just that our goddess is in a bad mood recently. We can only try to gather more believers for her and try to make her happy."

"You mean, let us the Temple of Woking leave here?" Beta turned the wine glass in his hand, his eyes full of dangerous light.

Bad waved his hand hard, and he didn't seem to see Beta, or he didn't feel Beta's killing: "Our Temple of Light is a very kind god, and it is impossible to do such a tasteless thing. I just hope that you can draw a small range for us, and we are inside, and we will never come out, and we will never touch the line."

Beta understood that this was the landing. Although Bard spoke very well and knew how to lower his figure, this still could not conceal his plan to use his strength to suppress Beta's separation of the territory.

In fact, this situation was long as Beta expected. Religious wars are the cruelest of all wars. Many times, once two religions are hostile, either you die or I live.

Beta asked, "Then where are you going to?"

"With the city lord's mansion as the border, we want a small area north of the city." Bad said slowly.

Beta squinted his eyes and thought. On the north side of the city is a wealthy area. Although the residents of the wealthy area are very rich, their houses are also very large and the population is not large. The population in the slums is directly more than twenty times that of theirs. Moreover, there are many ordinary civilians near the slums, and the number of these people is about three-quarters of the total number of people in the slums.

To be honest, Beta did not intend to preach to the rich. If the rich were willing to believe in Wojin, it would be great. If they didn't, Beta wouldn't bother to tell them the Taoist teachings because they were meaningless.

Most nobles have their own outlook on life, and they already have their own beliefs when they were very young. It is very difficult to persuade them to convert to their beliefs and are often thankless.

But the poor and civilians are much simpler.

As long as someone lets them eat and wear warm clothes, they can hand over their entire faith to anyone.

In his heart, Beta liked this decision very much. After all, it was a very cost-effective thing to give up a piece of useless ribs in exchange for a period of peaceful life with the Temple of Light.

But he said with a painful face: "Rich people, what should we do if they don't believe in goddesses? What do you think about this, Mr. Bud?"

Bud smiled slightly, his left hand was placed behind his back, and soon released it again, spreading open. Several white gems were placed inside, shining with a charming luster.

A few exclamations came from around him... After all, Beta and Bad are both big names, and it is normal for their conversation to be noticed.

In Bud's hand, there was a crystal of light...a soul gem.

Although this soul gem is the worst type, it is still a rare treasure in the human world.

Beta took a look, pretending to be a slight greedy look on his face. At this moment, he possessed the actor with a noble expression on his face, but his eyes kept aiming at the soul gem. This almost schizophrenia-like acting technique tricked Bud into the sky.

Bad was very happy: "If you agree with my opinion, then these three crystals of light will be yours."

Beta reached out and took the Crystal of Light from Bud's hand and placed it in his own space.

Then the two looked at each other and laughed at each other, as if they were as if they had met each other for decades again, and they were so excited.

Life is all about acting. Greenton was on the side, watching the interaction between the two, and he knew very well that Bud was trapped into the Victoria Trench by his original master. He knew very well how he knew how to deliberately show his enemy to be weak or deliberately pretending to be incompetent little white face in his dream.

After getting the "thing" he wanted, Bud immediately returned to the crowd. After Beta waited for Shirley to mess with the male nobles with ulterior motives, he took her away.

The male nobles who had not had time to talk to Shirley made a sound of mourning.

But Bud looked at Beta's back in the crowd and said softly: "Greedy idiot."

After Beta returned to the temple, he gave the crystallization of light to Shirley. As a divine creature, although Shirley can also eat human food, her favorite is the condensation of various unconscious souls into soul gems. As long as she eats one, she can not only slightly improve her strength, but also not easily get hungry.

Beta sat in the chair and watched Shirley jump around holding the soul gem, then he remembered Bud's face again and couldn't help saying, "Idiot."

Beta understood Bard's plan, who wanted to establish the faith in the rich area first, and then use the power of the devout nobles in the rich area to flatten the Woking Temple.

But Beta had already seen through his thoughts, and Beta could only sincerely laugh at this plan.

The believers of gods pay attention to a "number of people" and the quality of personal beliefs. This will increase or decrease the strength of a god. When Bad arrives, he directly gives up the slums and goes to the rich.

All the rich have their own outlook on life and religion, and it is very difficult to convert them into a belief.

Beta had already prepared a pony stool and was about to sit and watch Bard's joke. In Beta's estimate, in just two months, he would be able to develop all the civilians and poor into believers, and the days ahead would be much easier. (To be continued.)
