The shopkeeper's inexplicable words made Gallo feel astonished...
what do you want
But before he started to think about it, he heard the shopkeeper continue to say:
"Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually a shallow believer."
Superficial believers mean that they can change their beliefs at any time, which is almost the same as unbelievers. If they switch to other places, they may be ostracized and looked down upon, but in places like the City of Innocence, where there are many sects, superficial believers are the most common. Conversions are a daily occurrence.
Business is not going well? Poor health? Change your faith...
The teachings are too extreme, eating is too ugly? Change your faith...
Wife ran away with someone else? Change your faith...
The meaning of the shopkeeper's words is that he can also believe in the Miya sect.
Gallo subconsciously wanted to refuse. How could such a thing as belief be traded with money and benefits
But he heard the innkeeper go on:
"In order to express my devotion to Goddess Miya, I am willing to help you rent a beautiful church and bear the annual rent..."
"I believe you will not reject me, a devout believer, right?"
I really wanted to say no, but you are so generous...
During this period of time, the old bishop has asked various real estate agencies. The minimum annual rent for any church is 200 gold, and for those churches with better locations and more beautiful locations, the rent has risen even higher.
Therefore, the shopkeeper's statement is indeed irresistible to the impoverished Miya Church.
And the owner is continuing to relax the conditions:
"I thought about it just now. A priest like you really needs to spread the blessings of the goddess to more people. I shouldn't think about limiting yours...you just need to remember my piety in the future."
This means that as long as Gallo has been working in his shop, he will always bear the rent of the church, and Gallo will not be asked to promise anything extra.
And as long as Gallo is still there, the weapons in his store will be sold well.
In all fairness, the terms offered by the shop owner were already quite generous. It could be said that they wanted to keep Gallo at all costs. It was almost impossible to find better terms than this.
And the owner finally said very sincerely:
"We really need you, Pastor Gallo."
I am also a person who is needed and depended on.
Gallo sighed in his heart, nodded seriously, and replied:
"I understand. I will preside over the initiation ceremony for you later."
Only then did the owner let go of the big stone in his heart, and laughed heartily.
The dark elf girls on the side kept applauding, and the caveman blacksmith danced happily.
Looking at their joy from the heart, Gallo felt very happy in his heart.
So he negotiated with the shopkeeper again, and after the new church was rented, he would preside over the ceremony for the shopkeeper, and tonight, there would be a simple celebration banquet, and Gallo must be present.
Gallo naturally agreed, and then devoted himself to today's work.
He needs to bless and harden two hundred daggers today, which is a nightmare task for ordinary buffers, but for Jia Luo, it only takes half a day.
He could actually do it faster, but he felt that the shopkeeper treated him well and offered such a generous reward, so he must be serious and responsible.
So he blesses each weapon more seriously and meticulously.
When it was time for lunch, the owner knocked on the door of his workshop.
"Pastor Gallo, let's eat first."
"Hoo... hoo... ok, wait a minute..."
Gallo's answer came from inside, accompanied by a heavy panting, which seemed to be very tired.
Pastor Gallo is such a real young man, with such superb skills, but still working so hard, he is low-key and easy-going, and has no airs at all...
Why don't I have a daughter...
The shop owner was very satisfied with Gallo's work attitude, and then persuaded him:
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, our construction period is sufficient, so don't tire yourself out."
But he heard a counting voice coming from the door:
"298... 299... 300..."
"Okay, here I come!"
Gallo said, and opened the door.
He looked like he was sweating profusely and was still panting, which startled the shopkeeper.
You are the big baby I hired with a lot of money, don't tire yourself out!
The shopkeeper was so distressed that he quickly ordered someone to bring hot water and towels, and wanted to help Jia Luo to rest beside him.
But Gallo declined his offer:
"It's okay. I just exercised a little bit. Although I look tired, my condition is better."
"exercise?"
The shopkeeper asked with some doubts.
"That's right, after using too much magic, you will feel a little dizzy, mentally exhausted, sleepy, and want to sleep. You should also know this?"
The shopkeeper nodded, of course he had heard this kind of common sense.
"So at this time, the best way to relieve fatigue is to do push-ups!"
"I did 300 in one breath just now, and I felt my energy improved all of a sudden, and I didn't feel sleepy at all!"
"Of course, in addition to push-ups, long-distance running and squats are also possible..."
The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard this. It was the first time he had heard of the method of using push-ups to relieve fatigue.
Are you really a priest, not some muscular paladin
Seeing his unbelievable expression, Gallo followed up and said:
"Don't you believe it? Try it and you will know. This method is really effective."
"Uh... I don't believe you, it's just..."
The shopkeeper was hesitant to speak.
Gallo looked at his somewhat fat figure, and probably understood what he was hesitating about, so he quickly encouraged him:
"You don't usually exercise, right? That's okay. Muscles get stronger the more you practice. Don't force yourself at the beginning. If 300 is not enough, 100 will be fine..."
"And after you enter the teaching, I can still help you..."
No... 100 pushups and I might die...
And I don't care about quantity at all! I don't need any help with this!
The shopkeeper couldn't help feeling a little worried. According to Pastor Gallo's style, after he became a Christian, he wouldn't drag him to exercise every day in the name of religious ceremonies, would he
It's inevitable that...
Pretty good too
Who still thinks that he is too healthy
"Let's talk about this later, eat first, eat first."
The owner quickly changed his mouth and asked another question:
"By the way, how is your work done today? It's best to give me a deadline so that I can arrange a follow-up."
"Did you say those two boxes of weapons? I have already blessed them all."
Gallo replied indifferently.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but widen his eyes and began to gasp.
But he had only smoked halfway, and he suddenly remembered that Gallo's efficiency seemed to be so exaggerated all along.
Well, routine operation, sit down and eat.
