Gallo got up early the next day, prayed to the goddess and cleaned the church, and then asked the old bishop to stay behind while he went out to find old John.
He wanted to borrow Old John's ox cart to try it out.
Old John's family lived outside the city, and with Gallo's foot strength, it was already noon when he arrived.
So he and John and his son talked about the purpose of the trip while nibbling potatoes.
"Since Pastor Gallo wants to borrow it, there's no problem, but it's a busy time for farming, so I'll send it to you after the animal has turned the field."
Gallo thought for a while, and quickly changed his words:
"There's no need for a cow, just lend me the car."
There is only such an animal in Old John's family, and there will definitely be various inconveniences after borrowing it. The goddess said: Don't embarrass others for your own selfish desires, so I still don't borrow the cow.
He could ask a neighbor to borrow a little donkey to pull the cart, or he could simply buy one himself. Anyway, with 10 silver coins on hand, a little donkey was still affordable.
"Pastor Gallo is such a good man who always thinks of others."
Old John gave a sincere admiration, and then said:
"But my bullock cart is broken and torn. If you go out to preside over the ceremony sitting down, I'm afraid it will hurt your face..."
"How about this? Let's go back to the old carpenter next door and ask him to help you make a new one?"
Gallo naturally nodded repeatedly, of course it would be best to have something new to use.
So the three finished eating potatoes, and Old John asked Little John to pack a bag of agricultural products as a reward for the old carpenter, and the three of them came to the door.
Although the old carpenter didn't believe in the Miya religion, he often heard old John mention it, especially when he heard that old John only went to pray yesterday, and then little John saved the day. Started to get busy on the spot.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Gallo couldn't help but wonder if he could develop him into a believer if he spent a little more time talking.
But not today, it's not formal enough, let's talk about it after the car is ready.
John and his son were also helping, and when Gallo saw this, he also wanted to help.
But they were rejected by all three:
"Pastor Gallo, you have a distinguished status, let us do these rough jobs."
Gallo really wanted to tell them that he often repairs churches by himself on weekdays, and he is quite good at these tasks...
But others also had good intentions, and he couldn't refuse, so he didn't insist, so he wandered around a little bored.
As a result, several newborn kittens were found under a shed.
He was overjoyed immediately, and quickly wanted to hug him and suck it, but the little kitten was scared when he saw him, screaming in a milky voice, wriggling its furry body, and ran away in all directions.
Gallo quickly blessed himself with a simple magic spell: Affinity.
Probably the effect is to make him look more friendly and pleasing to the eye, and it is only effective for ordinary people and weak creatures.
Most sects have similar divine arts, but others generally use them when preaching...
Blessed with magic, and then saw those little milk cats running back to him quickly, rubbing at his feet coquettishly, and the more courageous ones even crawled on him, trying to rub his face.
Gallo suddenly felt a long-lost sense of happiness.
The little milk cat is really cute!
It's a surprise that the little milk cat is so kind to me!
I'm so welcome!
When everyone was busy with their own work, a young man from the village hurried over and shouted:
"It's not good! It's not good!"
Gallo hurriedly came over with a kitten in a suit.
"The sheriff is coming to arrest people!"
"They want to arrest everyone who offended Baron House!"
"Many people were caught by them, and some people were beaten to death in prison..."
"Uncle John, Uncle Carpenter, they must be here to catch you, run away!"
The boy spoke in a hurry.
It turned out that Captain Martin was really crazy, he actually dared to arrest all the people who offended Baron House!
"They actually did such a thing? What about the city lord? What about the other magistrates? Don't they care?"
The old carpenter asked angrily.
A month ago, he worked hard to help Baron House make a set of furniture, but the other party made all kinds of excuses and didn't want to pay, so he chopped all the furniture and burned it in a fit of anger, which made the baron very angry. trouble him.
Fortunately, he was very popular and skilled, and he finally survived until the day when the baron died suddenly.
For this reason, he happily went to the village tavern for a few drinks.
"From what my jailer friend said, it seems that the baron's nephew came out of the mage's tower, found Captain Martin, and insisted on investigating the matter, which is why this happened."
"The city lord is busy with his affairs, so he can't take care of these trivial matters, and the other magistrates don't want to offend a mage."
"That's why my friend asked me to come back and report the news, and asked everyone to find a place to hide for a while, and when the master mage's anger subsides, everything should be fine."
As the young man spoke, he urgently urged:
"Run quickly, if you are caught by them, you will really be beaten to death!"
"But we are such a family, where can we hide?"
Old John said with a sad face.
Gallo quickly stood up:
"Our church is quite big, let's hide there first."
"After tonight, it will be fine."
Although others don't quite understand why he is so optimistic, thinking that things will get better after tonight, but right now they don't care so much.
The three hurriedly packed some simple luggage, and followed Gallo all the way back to the church.
And that group of sheriffs was also lucky, and they didn't run into them on the road.
Everyone returned to the church smoothly.
"Pastor Gallo, you are really a kind person like what John said, and you are willing to protect us at this time."
The old carpenter said very moved.
Gallo took the little milk cat off his body, and said seriously:
"The goddess will protect every kind person."
"If I can survive this test, I would like to join the church and believe in the goddess!"
"In the future, I will do my best to make a carriage for you."
"As for these little fur balls, if you like them, keep them with you."
The old carpenter said very seriously.
"Let's talk about these things later, I have to talk to the bishop about it."
As Gallo said, he went to the old bishop, briefly explained the whole story, and said indignantly:
"The persecution of the innocent has reached the point of insanity. This is a crime that must be repented!"
"But they will definitely not consciously repent, and I need to remind them."
The old bishop thought about it, and felt that something was a little strange...
"They don't want to use this method to force you to show up?"
