Gallo was also overjoyed after hearing the intention of the opposite party, and quickly invited the old lady in for a detailed discussion. At the same time, he poked Lilian Luo and reminded:
"Go and pour Auntie a cappuccino!"
Lilian Luo pouted secretly, I'm 233 years old, okay? It's hard to say who is the aunt...
Besides, how can there be coffee at home? Isn't it just tea
But there were guests, so she couldn't save Gallo's face, so she had to run out and find a way.
This kind of problem can only be asked Amiya if there is a solution.
On the other hand, Gallo and Misseran took the guests to visit the church.
In fact, it stands to reason that Misseran should not get involved in this kind of thing at all, but should avoid it. After all, she is a member of the Shenguang Cult.
But neither she nor Gallo had any self-awareness in this regard, and they really regarded themselves as one of their own.
After wandering around briefly for a while, the old lady still had a faint smile on her face, but she was a little muttering in her heart.
This church looks glamorous on the outside, but the interior decoration is too poor, right
There are basically no ornaments, no religious murals, and even only one statue of a god, which is still vague...
If she hadn't believed in Sir Donald's credibility, she might have turned around and left.
So right now, she has to continue talking to this young man...
"Your Excellency is in charge of a cathedral at such a young age, how young and promising!"
"Where is it, you have won the prize, I still need to work harder."
Gallo replied.
This modest gesture actually won him some impression points, the old woman nodded slightly, and continued:
"Hehe, what a humble young man!"
"But my old friend is full of praise for you, and he keeps praising your professionalism..."
"I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!"
The two just chatted with each other.
As for Misseran, she seemed dazed from the beginning, as if she was stimulated by something, and she didn't know what was going on in her mind.
Maybe he was stunned by Gallo
Of course, it may also be that the old woman's words 'your children...' gave her a great shock, and she hasn't recovered yet, right
After chatting for a while, the old woman gradually got to the point.
She is a businessman who is mainly engaged in building stones. She is also the kind of family that has been operating for generations. She has done a lot. She has more than a dozen quarries and processing workshops under her name. Looking at the entire empire, she is the most powerful stone businessman. .
This time, I also came here in the name of disaster relief after seeing the market for the rebuilding of the city of innocence.
"Our business is very competitive, and my two main competitors are rumored to use some disgraceful means..."
"In addition, I also heard gossip that the heretics from the south and north are also planning to get involved. I'm afraid the situation behind the Innocence City will not be peaceful. That's why I pay special attention to personal safety."
The pagans in her mouth refer to those who believe in other than righteous gods.
To be more specific, she was talking about the grassland tribes in the north, the Visa kingdom in the south, and non-human intelligent races such as elves and cavemen.
Among them, the country of Visa is the most 'pagan'. The fact that they founded the country based on religion is incompatible with the Orthodox Church in the empire.
All the orthodox churches now have a clear stipulation in their teachings: no country can be established, and no politics can be involved.
This is a rule of principle, a figurative order issued by the gods and angels after the melee of the gods is over.
It is difficult for future generations to figure out the true intention of this, and can only make a rough guess. It is probably because the gods think that faith should be more pure. Once a country is established, it will inevitably deteriorate and become foul-smelling, which will lead to Orthodoxy. various disputes.
Therefore, there is no concept of "divine authority of kings" in this world at all, and imperial authority and divine authority are clearly separated.
How could a high-ranking god allow his sect to become a tool for others to cut leeks
By the way, the Miya sect does not actually have this express rule.
Of course, for a sect with a total of 3 members and just over 300 believers, whether there is such a regulation is the same...
In a word, if you look at this **** Visa Theocracy in comparison, it will look very pagan.
And the god they believe in, Visa, is the legendary god who is in charge of darkness and dreams. His position in the melee of the gods is unclear, and there is no data to verify it. God has become a god who walks on the edge of good and evil.
Therefore, His teachings are not as strict as the Orthodox sect, but much more relaxed, and the demeanor of its congregation is naturally much more bold and unrestrained, and it often tolerates such things as necromancers and curse warlocks, which are not accepted by the world. crowd.
It is said that many wanted criminals from the empire will flee there to seek asylum.
Anyway, in Gallo's view, this group of heretics and heretics are almost the same, as long as they meet, they will be given a new life.
It's just that the Visa Theocracy is far away from here, and the road in the middle is particularly difficult, with mountains and swamps, so their people rarely appear in the city of innocence, which makes Gallo feel very regretful .
Haven't tried the heathen how it feels...
Right now, the City of Innocence has suffered two catastrophes, and the power of the Orthodox Church has been greatly impacted, which makes more people ready to move.
I don't know what's so good about this city, is it so attractive
"Since you are worried about these heretics threatening your safety, it is really necessary for us to cooperate!"
"This group of scoundrels, everyone can kill them!"
Gallo said very sincerely.
The old lady nodded seriously, and then cast a glance at the maid beside her.
The maid walked quickly to the offering box and stuffed ten gold coins into it!
It seemed that the old lady liked Gallo's jealous attitude.
And Gallo felt that the old lady had become a lot more friendly all of a sudden!
Although the two just met.
The old woman smiled and continued:
"I heard from my old friend that you are quite accomplished in enchantment? The level is excellent?"
"Hey, I still have some experience in enchantment, and the level should be better than divine art."
Gallo still said very modestly.
"very good... "
The old woman nodded again and again, and then discussed the details of the follow-up with Gallo.
To put it simply, she bought a new house in the city, hoping that Gallo could set up a protective barrier to ensure safety.
Finally, she asked quite implicitly:
"I just don't know if this kind of thing is troublesome, so what kind of sincerity do I need to prepare?"
Gallo still didn't understand. Fortunately, Misseran who was next to him finally came back to his senses and stopped being in a daze. He quickly whispered in his ear:
"She's asking how much you'll charge..."
"Uh...how much should it normally be?"
Gallo also lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.
This is the first time he has provided such a security service. The enchantment installed on the shopkeeper's side before was mainly used to strengthen weapons, and the protection was just an incidental effect.
And the transaction between him and the shopkeeper involved a buyout and follow-up income, which cannot be used as a reference standard this time.
Of course, the contract he signed with the shopkeeper will not restrict other types of enchantment, it will only restrict the automatic hardening and blessing enchantment, so he can take this order normally.
And Gallo also thought about the psychological price. Now that he is also a bishop, he has a little reputation in the city, and the number of believers has exceeded 300, so the fee must not be cheap!
If you go out to do the simplest condolence ceremony, you will be charged 50 gold, half of which will go to the church, and half will be deposited in the cat money pot.
Then I arranged a more complicated enchantment, and it was four times the amount of Daidai, and it was too much to charge 200 gold, right
Of course, the cost of materials is extra.
But after thinking about it for a while, Misseran leaned close to his ear and whispered her own suggestion:
"It's the first time you're on the opposite side, and it's also the first time you've received this kind of job, Gallo. The fee shouldn't be too high. I suggest it be a little lower to attract more people..."
"In this case, let's collect 3000 gold first?"
When Gallo heard the price, he was a little confused...
But Misseran noticed the change in his expression and thought he was not satisfied with the amount, so she quickly persuaded him:
"Don't think too little, the first charge, really can't be too high..."
"If you really need money, I have a cat money box at home."
Gallo shook his head again and again, and argued:
"No, I didn't mean that, it's just the price of three thousand gold..."
He was probably a little anxious, so he spoke a little louder, so that the old woman could also hear him.
The old woman and the two maids beside her frowned at the same time.
This price is a fair and reasonable price. Going to the Shenguang Sect to ask someone to make such a set of enchantments is about the same price.
But in terms of performance, it is quite satisfactory.
This is obviously not enough, this is something related to life safety, of course, the stronger and the higher the grade, the better!
The old woman felt insulted by Gallo's offer.
So she tore off the veil of kindness, and said very seriously:
"Bishop Gallo, what I need is not ordinary protection!"
"I want the best!"
Gallo still wanted to try to defend a few words, but saw the old woman put up a finger.
"Ten thousand gold coins, give me the best!"
She tripled the price in one breath, and used the shining gold coins to silence all of Gallo's objections.
Not only Gallo, but even Misseran was stunned...
She probably never thought that a real rich woman would be so scary when she was serious...
But the old woman still didn't think it was enough, and finally added:
"Of course, the cost of materials will be calculated separately. This is your rule, I understand."
"If the enchantment passes the inspection and the quality is excellent, I will have an extra reward."
