Magic Apprentice

Chapter 35: Preach

Views:

For Enleco, the biggest problem at the moment is the shortage of manpower. Of course, if he only needs some people to help, Enleco will never worry about finding people. However, the people who can really help him are not There are really not many people. Through these few days, Enleco has discovered that for most people, although they can indeed master how to use magic, this does not mean that they can truly and effectively control magic. For ordinary people, , their mental power is too weak, so in terms of maintaining the concentration and balance of magic elements, they are far unable to compare with people who have the qualities to become magicians. What's more, even among those who are suitable to become magicians, most of them are only very sensitive to one or two magic elements and have extraordinary control capabilities. Among them, they are relatively close to the water element and can use it skillfully. There are very few people, and the vast majority of people only have a deep understanding of the fire element. It seems that this has a lot to do with the strong folk customs of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and the power of fire magic is useful for saving lives and healing the wounded, but It's not helpful at all. Besides, in addition to the lack of assistants who can skillfully control the water element, what worries Enleco most is the lack of controllers with sacred magic power, and the production of holy water must rely on this power.

While Enleco was troubled by this, the long-awaited help finally arrived. Those believers of the Goddess of Life led their companions to Chengdaville. What made Enleco most happy was that the number of believers of the goddess who came this time was quite large. First batches came one after another, totaling fifty or sixty people.

Of course, these people cannot all be priests who are proficient in sacred magic. However, believers of the goddess of life, whose main occupation is medical treatment, are quite familiar with the diagnosis and care of various wounds.

Therefore, before they had a good rest when they arrived here, they were dragged by Bertina to help her treat patients.

However, these believers of the goddess of life did not feel unhappy about this. On the contrary, they were extremely happy to be sent here and there by this little girl who was much younger than them, especially the two who were the oldest, the most senior, and the highest status. Pastor, they are obviously quite satisfied with the situation in front of them. It seems that in this underage girl, they have seen some long-lost scenes, as if they have suddenly returned to that young, energetic, and wonderful time, as if that It was as if a kind-hearted saint who was respected and admired by everyone was back.

The feelings of the older generation towards Bertina obviously deeply affected the other believers of the Goddess of Life. Originally, they were only in a slightly tentative mood and planned to take a look at this imperial envoy from other countries. Do you really intend to dedicate your kindness and strength to the people of Kaoqi

However, after spending some time with Bertina, and the fact that several highly respected priests who had originally maintained the most cautious attitude towards the whole matter were so devoted to their work, the spirits of all the believers of the Goddess of Life were suddenly lifted. Everyone is fully committed to their work.

For Bertina, all believers of the Goddess of Life obviously regard her as the reincarnation of the "Saint Girl" Miss Sally. Everyone in Bertina is filled with deep admiration and endless love.

But for Enleco, these believers of the Goddess of Life are not so polite. They have the same view as Bertina. In their eyes, these young exotic magicians who are quite accomplished are obviously lacking in love. Lazy guys who may be evading their responsibilities. In their opinion, everyone, except the imperial envoy, is doing their best to help. Only that guy, except for going downstairs every morning to replenish the magic circles, Apart from using his magic power, he spends most of his time in his room, doing some strange magic experiments. From this point of view, this imperial envoy is far worse than the upright and enthusiastic Lord Kobe Leo. The believers of the Goddess of Life have already determined that if it had not been for the insistence of the "Saint Lady", it would have been impossible for the Imperial Envoy to achieve such a feat of saving the people from the fire with his limited "heart of kindness". of.

Because of this, their attitude towards Enleco could barely be called polite, which was far from their attitude towards Bertina. Therefore, when Enleco asked these believers of the Goddess of Life to help him conduct magic experiments, no one was willing to pay attention to him. In the end, it was Bertina who stood up to smooth things over, and only then did the two believers of the Goddess of Life come forward reluctantly. , agreed to cooperate with Enleco, but it was obvious that they did not think it was meaningful to help the little magician conduct experiments.

Enleco, who finally got an experimental assistant, could finally conduct the experiment he had prepared for a long time. However, I don't know if it was because the two believers of the Goddess of Life were poor at using sacred magic or because of their uninterested attitude. Due to the failure of the experiment, Enleco did not get the effect he expected. Although some extremely weak signs showed that there was indeed a very thin sacred magic element dissolved into the water element, but that concentration was really thin. Poor, not to mention the kind of "holy water" created by Bertina, even if the two believers of the Goddess of Life cast spells alone, it is far better than using the "defective holy water" that is made like boiled water. Much more effective, this "defective holy water" can at most be used for disinfection.

Enleco's actions obviously greatly offended those believers of the Goddess of Life. In their view, the kind and loving "little saint" Miss Bertina possessed the miraculous ability to create "Holy Water of Life". The power of God is completely the highest gift of the Goddess of Life. Therefore, except for Miss Bertina, who was chosen by God, there is absolutely no second person who is qualified to create such a miracle. And Enleco's current behavior is obviously It greatly offended Miss Bertina, the most sacred "little saint" in their hearts, and also greatly offended the goddess of life that they loved and believed in.

If it weren't for the existence of "tolerance" in the teachings spread by the Goddess of Life, these loyal believers would definitely give Enleco a lesson, but since then, all of them have had a different attitude towards Enleco. What's worse, if they were polite to Enleco before, now even this last bit of politeness is gone.

Of course, Enleco's experiment also cut off the most important experimental assistant. Enleco was dumbfounded by this situation. Before that, he had not thought that Bertina's status in the hearts of these enthusiastic religious believers was so high, and that "holy water" was actually regarded by everyone. It is a miracle of life and a gift from God. Wanting to create "holy water" with the same effect is actually regarded as blasphemy against God. Thinking of this, Enleco couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He couldn't tell everyone that this highest gift from God was just invented by a crazy female magician who was lazy and never washed clothes to make it easier to clean clothes. Convenient and fast detergent. Of course, Enleco also knew that no one would believe him even if he told others this.

Although those believers of the Goddess of Life did not like this blasphemous minister who was immersed in meaningless magic experiments all day long, when they encountered unsolvable problems, they were determined to push those problems to this imperial minister. From this point of view, these enthusiastic religious believers have the same character as Bertina. In their opinion, the greatest use of the imperial envoy is to solve these problems.

※※※

Therefore, a lot of problems have been put in front of Enleco. The biggest problem is that as their reputation continues to expand, more and more patients come here. The limited holy water is no longer enough to cope with the increasing number of patients. There are many demands, but regarding this issue, those believers of the Goddess of Life firmly asked Enleco not to get involved in this matter. They claimed that through this period of contact with holy water, they have initially understood the characteristics of holy water. They were sure to use this limited gift of God as sparingly as possible. Moreover, the two elders had asked a companion with flexible legs and feet to return to the place where they gathered. The two elders said that there would soon be a group of capable people. Extremely strong and experienced personnel will come here, and by that time, the problem of holy water will be completely solved. What they really want the Imperial Envoy to solve are other issues, such as funding issues, hospital expansion issues, and increasingly serious security issues.

The first two problems were originally expected by Enleco. In any case, the small amount of funds donated by his father were definitely not enough to support the needs of so many patients, because the hospital was originally opened for those patients. Common people who don’t have money to look after the sick. Therefore, the hospital not only charges no fees, but even provides living assistance to those poor people who really have no money. Although the believers of the Goddess of Life have been very careful about how they use the money, and although Bertina knows that all the money is her father's life savings, I have tried my best to suppress my overflowing love, but there are too many people in need of help.

Besides, although those volunteers do not need to be paid by Enleco, and it is obvious that the number of volunteers has been increasing and has never decreased, but the feeding problem of the believers of the Goddess of Life has to be solved by Enleco, which is also a huge sum. Not a small expense.

So far, Enleco has not developed effective financial resources, which is Enleco's biggest headache.

Among all the problems, Enleco had never considered the security issue. When he was a child, the ordinary people in the country where Enleco lived were all honest people with a pure heart, except for his teacher Vic. Apart from that, there is not a single scoundrel in the town, so Enleco always thought that ordinary people who had nothing were the kindest and most contented people. Unexpectedly, since Bertina began to treat illnesses and save people, more and more people hoped to learn from this overly caring little girl. Rogue gangsters who get some benefits from girls come one after another. At the beginning, it was just a few isolated gangsters who came, but now it is often a gang of gangsters who appear.

For these people, those believers of the goddess of life have no way at all. Among the goddess’s teachings, there is only "

"Tolerance" but no "confrontation" (Enleco guessed that Haguero's mother may be the only special case among the goddess believers). Bertina still has a few ideas to deal with this kind of scene. After all, she is still a water magician. Although there is no The ability to use high-level water magic and extremely lethal ice magic, water arrows that will not hurt people but can knock them to the ground, and the "ice and water" magic attack taught by teacher Chris, for this kind of The occasion is quite suitable, and there will always be no shortage of people who inform Enleco. Most gangsters will not fight against the legendary forbidden magician, but the two or three desperate people who have the courage to do so Instead, he became the object of Enleco's magic practice, because Enleco used magic in a different way. Enleco, who had accumulated magic power in advance, did not need to chant incantations to gather magic power, so the speed of releasing magic was even It is faster than the close attacks of those gangsters. Because it is the magic power that Enleco has accumulated in advance, the magic power that Enleco can use is not very powerful. However, this is regarded by others as the imperial envoy who just wants to teach those gangsters a lesson. Suppress one's own power. After all, no one believes that a forbidden magician who is as powerful as the great wizard Kobe Leo can at most use such powerful magic. And due to the prosperity of Enlei, those who dare to cause trouble are often The gangster was used as a target, using fire magic, then ice magic, and even two more electric shocks, and finally used quicksand to bury the troublemaking gangster in the soil, leaving only his head exposed.

Enleco did this just to test his mastery of magic. On the other hand, he also wanted to let those ungrateful guys know the lesson and take advantage of them for fun. But all this is definitely different in the eyes of others. Of course, Bertina is not very surprised by this. She is well-informed and these abilities of Enleco are far worse than their crazy teacher Chris. Far away, and Enleco is not the only one of the four who can use the four series of magic. Kate can also use the four series of magic, and the power is still higher than Enleco's. During this time, Bertina has also She is quite confident in the "holy water" magic that she is the only one who is good at. She even believes that the knowledge she gained in this trial is far more meaningful and practical than her other companions. Bertina is extremely confident about this. Proud and quite confident.

Based on their prejudice against the Imperial Envoy, those believers of the Goddess of Life unanimously concluded that this was the underage magician using his own abilities to bully those poor gangsters who had no ability to fight back (although these gangsters originally intended to be detrimental to them), In addition to the fact that the imperial envoy's psychology has not yet matured, it must be said that this is the spiritual weakness of this powerful little magician. Therefore, although Enleco saved those believers of the Goddess of Life, those people did not Instead of being grateful to Enleco, he classified Enleco as a member of the bully aristocracy that maliciously bullied the weak.

And those ordinary people admired Enleco's strength even more. Among these people, the ones who exaggerated Enleco's strength the most were those who had a deep understanding of magic, among them the director of the Strayer County Magic Association. Mr. Jardell is one of the people who has the highest estimate of Enleco's strength among all people.

In fact, except for the first two quarrels and troubles, which were caused entirely by some blind guys among the hooligans in Chengdaville City, the subsequent times were all caused by the county governor and this Jia. Mr. Dale conspired and planned. According to the plan, they planned to let those gangsters destroy the disgusting hospital first, and then when the Forbidden Curse Mage came to the scene, they would take advantage of the chaos to give this powerful mage a hard blow. all of a sudden.

According to their plan, the clergy, including the so-called "Saint Girl", should have little combat effectiveness. After all, except for the believers of the God of War, all the clergy, whether they are believers of the God of Wisdom or the Goddess of Life, Believers have little fighting ability, but they did not expect that the "saint" who can use such a powerful and magical "holy water" magic is not a clergyman, but more like a water magician. This makes the county guard Your Excellency and Mr. Jardell's plan to destroy the hospital failed.

And when the imperial envoy came to rescue the siege, the two people who were observing in secret were even more shocked by the imperial envoy's use of magic that violated the basic rules of magic. Originally, the two of them planned this plan based on the fact that magicians must chant spells to use magic, and the power of magic is quite powerful. It is difficult to control the intensity within a certain range without letting its destructive power spread to the surrounding onlookers. There are people and patients waiting for treatment, so the magician is obviously at a disadvantage in the close combat.

Unexpectedly, what they faced was a magician who could use magic without reciting spells. Moreover, this guy with amazing strength could control the magic power within a very small range. With this skill alone, he was stronger than Kobe Lee. Ogao is much smarter, not to mention Enleco's inadvertent revelation of the ability to use the four series of magic, which made the two observers mistakenly think that he is a magician who is proficient in the four series of magic and whose strength has reached the level of a great mage. .

※※※

Regarding this understanding, the Sheriff and Mr. Chairman have already felt that they are unable to compete with this mysterious and powerful magician with their own strength alone. Therefore, the two people wrote a secret letter overnight and sent a special person to inform Duke Hagueiro and Prime Minister Someret of the situation who were still in the capital.

Of course, it was impossible for the Lord Sheriff to do nothing before the clear answers from Hegeello and Sommeret. Early the next morning, he ordered his adjutant to ride in his carriage to entrust the Lord. I went to the hotel where I was staying to invite the imperial envoy. Of course, the reason was to discuss with him the recent security issues in Chengdaville City.

Enleco really had no way to refuse the invitation of the county governor, so he had to follow the adjutant to the Governor's Mansion. Just like the last meeting, the Governor's etiquette could be said to be impeccable, but even for someone like Enleco A guy who knows nothing about the world can obviously feel that this time, the governor's attitude is much tougher than when they first met.

After the guests and hosts exchanged greetings for a while, Mr. County Sheriff quickly got to the point. He said in a long official tone: "Dear Minister of Imperial Envoy, your kindness and kindness have already spread far and wide. Our county has received your favor." The number of people is increasing day by day, and your favors even reach as far as several neighboring counties. In the past two days, people who are looking forward to receiving your incomparable favors are pouring into my small city in an endless stream. Stryer County can achieve such Our prosperity is all due to your gift.”

At this point, the county guard changed his subject: "Of course, being able to receive your gift is the greatest luck for many people, and it is also an honor for our county. However, there is a mix of good and bad. Among the civilians who are looking forward to receiving your gift, there are indeed... There are quite a few factors of instability, which you should also be quite aware of. Listening to reports from my subordinates, my esteemed lord has been harassed by these villains. I am deeply disturbed by the fact that the county magistrate here has not stopped this behavior. It is my duty. It's a shame. Fortunately, your Excellency was brave enough to drive away the gang of villains, but if things go on like this, there will always be no understanding. What's more, the security situation in this county will also deteriorate day by day..."

Speaking of this, the county governor finally put forward his opinion. In fact, he had already made good friends with all parties. The opinion was put forward by focusing on the requirements of all parties. To be honest, for the "Holy Water of Life" that has miraculous curative effects "Many people around are very interested. Although the nobles around them can afford good doctors and can get treatment from church clergy, but the treatment that can be obtained in this place far away from the center of Kaoqi Definitely quite limited. Many people also hope to receive treatment, but it is absolutely impossible for them to condescend to receive treatment in a place where poor people gather. And the senior clergy of the church are not opposed to it. Under their control, they have to expand their influence to a limited extent among the people they have selected. To do this, they control the magical and precious holy water. The use of it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, after comprehensively considering the needs from all aspects, the Governor put forward his opinions to Enleco. He was going to build a majestic hospital in the center of Chengdaville in the name of the Governor's Palace, and asked Miss Bertina to be the hospital's director. The dean, and he, the Sheriff of Stryer County, will send a whole team of guards to maintain order in the hospital. At the same time, he promised that in terms of manpower, the church will definitely provide full support, and the hospital will have more capabilities than the current miscellaneous followers of the Goddess of Life. A much higher power helper.

Although Enleco does not have much political experience, he will not make any big discrepancies in his simple analysis of the situation. And the plan proposed by the Lord Sheriff was so clear at a glance, so the young magic apprentice trainee immediately saw through the intention of the Lord Sheriff.

Although Enleco did not intend to go against the county magistrate, as a member of the civilian population, Enleco felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart with this package of opinions put forward by the county magistrate. Maybe he did not He agrees with Bertina and the others' way of thinking, but compared with the unpleasant Sheriff in front of him, Enleco feels that he is much closer to Bertina and the others.

Therefore, Enleco rejected the county governor's suggestion, but Enleco approved of treating those nobles. In his opinion, both nobles and civilians have the right to obtain health, and this seems to It is also one of the basic teachings of all gods.

Of course, Enleco, who has been among the nobles for such a long time, also knows that it is completely impossible for those nobles to receive treatment together with the common people, and Bertina and those believers of the Goddess of Life Obviously, it is impossible for ordinary doctors to go to the residences of nobles who need medical treatment like ordinary doctors. Building a hospital specifically for treating nobles is a method acceptable to both parties. When dealing with those nobles, the church Those formal clergy are obviously far more reliable than the goddess's followers.

As for the security issues raised by the county magistrate, Enleco claimed that he already had a fairly mature plan and the matter would be resolved soon.

Although the county guard was not quite able to accept what Enleco said and felt a little uncomfortable, he did not intend to confront the legendary magician with the power of forbidden spells. This kind of stupid thing is not something I am willing to do.

Enleco, who came out of the Governor's Palace, returned to the hotel and immediately invited Bertina, Dad, and the elders with high status among the goddess believers to his room.

After everyone arrived, Enleco informed everyone about today's discussions with the county governor at the Governor's Mansion. And ask for everyone’s opinions.

To Enleco's expectation, no one objected to the suggestions he made. Originally, Enleco was worried about persuading the goddess believers to cooperate with the church clergy and treat the nobles. Originally, Enleco Co thought this was a pretty difficult thing to do. Unexpectedly, those believers of the Goddess of Life were much more tolerant than Enleco imagined. It seems that the equality of all living beings declared in the goddess's teachings has indeed been effectively implemented by these loyal believers.

Dad took this opportunity to express his suggestion. Based on his years of experience in dealing with those nobles, he pointed out that this was an excellent opportunity to solve the current shortage of funds. Those nobles have a lot of money, and they are absolutely willing to pay a lot of money to see a doctor. If they treat these nobles for free like the common people, it may be regarded as an insult to them by these nobles who are obsessed with face.

Enleco deeply agrees with his father's opinion. As a highly qualified royal tailor, his father is definitely the best person to deal with those nobles, especially those of the upper class. Therefore, Enleco will cooperate with the county governor. The task of opening a noble hospital is entirely entrusted to Dad. He believes that with his father’s many years of experience, he will definitely be able to obtain the maximum benefit for himself from this cooperation.

This matter was finally resolved, and the next troublesome matter was the issue of public security. Everyone had no idea about this. Everyone else looked at Enleco, waiting for him to come up with a practical plan.

Enleco had a huge headache about this, and he was not sure that he could solve this big problem. Fortunately, Bertina's inadvertent words reminded Enleco, and he only heard the female magic apprentice trainee mutter: " It would be nice if there was some way to distinguish good people from bad people, just like their status."

After hearing this, a thought suddenly jumped out of Enleco's mind. He said loudly: "By the way, since there is no such identity, why don't we create such an identity?"

※※※

He glanced at the confused people around him and explained: "I have been observing for a long time and discovered one thing. Among the patients who come for treatment, who are particularly sincere and respectful to you, a large number of them believe in Although some people do not necessarily believe in the Goddess of Life’s teachings, they are obviously not too repulsive to the Goddess of Life’s teachings. As for those who make trouble, I don’t think they are believers in any god.” "An effective way to effectively distinguish patients is to promote the teachings of the goddess to them and let them become believers of the goddess. Although it is somewhat unreasonable, we can claim that only believers of the goddess can get free medical treatment. treatment, do you think my idea is good?"

When Enleco was feeling complacent that he finally came up with such a good idea, he didn't expect that Bertina protested loudly: "No, it's not good at all."

Everyone, including Enleco, turned to look at Bertina, wondering why she was so opposed to this suggestion.

Just listen to Bertina say: "I am a believer of the God of Wisdom. Why should I promote the teachings of the Goddess of Life? Why can't believers of other gods except believers of the Goddess of Life get free treatment..."

Enleco was left speechless by his female companion. He had to surrender: "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't think carefully. All believers of God should be able to get free treatment. The God of Wisdom's It is also necessary to preach doctrine. All God’s doctrines need to be preached.”

Seeing Enleco's embarrassed look and listening to his unscrupulous explanation, the believers of the Goddess of Life were secretly amused. Of course, the believers of the goddess present were all highly respected people and would never refute Enleco. This nonsense of Co's is just that as loyal believers of the goddess of life, how could they promote the teachings of other gods? "So, what to do with those people who resolutely refuse to believe in God's teachings? Drive them out? How to drive them out? Who will drive them out? What about those gangsters who are not here to see a doctor but are here to cause trouble?" Dad is qualified after all. Profound, and immediately raised a lot of questions.

Enleco, who originally thought that the matter had been solved smoothly, suddenly became dizzy again. To be honest, as long as he could borrow a small group of soldiers from the county guard, these problems would be solved easily, but the county guard had Is it possible to agree to your request? Enleco was not sure about this. And even if the soldiers were borrowed, who would be responsible for the allowances and food payments of these soldiers? It was hard for Enleco to imagine that the county guard would be willing to provide people and money to help him.

The only free helpers are those enthusiastic volunteers. If there is really no way, it seems that I can only train those volunteers myself. Fortunately, I know an effective method of training mercenaries. Thinking of this, Enlai Coe showed a smile that those goddess believers called a devil's smile.

Of course, in the next few days, countless facts seemed to prove the views of those believers of the Goddess of Life. This imperial envoy only became a little kinder because he was closer to the "Saint Girl". In fact, he was actually a devil deep down. Of course, it is not just the goddess believers who hold this view. Those volunteers who have been trained miserably by Enleco, in their eyes, this imperial envoy is definitely a devil, and a powerful devil. A devil with extraordinary abilities.

In fact, Enleco didn't do much in the past few days. He just condensed the mercenary skills that Joe had trained him back then, selected the relatively simple ones that could be effective in the short term, and trained those volunteers. Enleco deeply regretted that he could not recreate the dog race that impressed him most during Joe's previous training due to time constraints. And the dazzling spear skills that Joe used to attract himself and his mercenary companions at that time were also reproduced under Enleco's hands, and the effect of this set of spear skills was exactly the same as that time. . When those volunteers who had originally planned to give up and withdraw from the training because they couldn't bear the hardship saw this dizzying trick, their admiration in their hearts was like a torrential river.

At first, everyone just thought that the imperial envoy was as incompetent as other magicians, but they did not expect that this forbidden magician was so skilled. This could not help but make everyone present admire him. In addition, they did not know Some well-informed person publicized the wonderful competition between martial arts and magical martial arts during the memorial ceremony among the crowd. In this way, everyone regarded Enleco as a master who was proficient in magical martial arts. People, and the skills that the imperial envoy is now teaching are also regarded by volunteers as the basis for practicing magic and martial arts.

Therefore, everyone’s enthusiasm for practicing was extremely high. Usually when these people are free, you can always see groups of volunteers holding long guns in the open space practicing the spear skills taught by Enleco. And because the hospital is right next to them, these people practice very diligently and don't need to worry about getting hurt at all. Therefore, although the training time is quite short, those volunteers already have quite good skills. Of course, their ability cannot compare with Enleco. Just as it is difficult for Enleco to go all three rounds in front of Joe, Enleco can defeat a volunteer in less than three rounds here, but he Unlike Qiao, he never intentionally bullied his training opponents.

However, despite this, Enleco is still secretly called "the devil" by everyone.

And Enleco's behavior once again fell into the eyes of the monitors. In the eyes of the monitors, Enleco's danger increased again. However, this also dissuaded the county governor from arranging local gangsters. To deal with the imperial envoy's strategy, because how could the county guard, who is a knight, not see it? Not to mention those gangsters, not even a few of the knights under his command can compete with the monster in front of him who is called a magician. What's more, the county guard is not sure whether this is all the martial arts of the imperial envoy? He knew quite a bit about the competition that took place on the day of the memorial ceremony, and he also knew quite well what kind of powerful guy Relta was who represented his side. He was not a master that he could deal with, and that Sophie The benefactor was able to tie with Leerta, and that Sophie benefactor was the companion of the imperial envoy in front of him. Does the imperial envoy also have the same strength? Until now, the Sheriff no longer dared to guess the bottom line of Enleco's strength. Every time he positioned the hateful little magician in front of him at a certain height, he soon found that this position had to be revised. , and every time the positioning is revised, it will not last long before it will be overturned again.

And when Enleco used Joe's method to train the volunteers, Bertina and the others' missionary work also started smoothly and quickly. It can even be said that the progress was unexpectedly smooth sailing. After all, after For so many years, believers of the Goddess of Life who treat ordinary people have always been admired by the public. Therefore, the goddess's teachings are naturally accepted by the majority of the people. Because of this, belief in the goddess quickly spread among the patients who sought medical treatment.

On the contrary, the belief in the God of Wisdom promoted by Bertina did not arouse much response from ordinary people. To be honest, the teachings of the God of Wisdom are too abstract and difficult for people to understand. The teachings of the God of Wisdom are more like It's philosophy. In fact, even Bertina herself doesn't fully understand what the God of Wisdom's teachings say. Not to mention those civilians who can't even recognize a few words. Although there are a few people who believe in the God of Wisdom out of respect for the "Saint Girl", in their eyes, the God of Wisdom is really an inexplicable god. , anyway, no one can explain clearly what kind of doctrine the God of Wisdom preaches. For this reason, Bertina once lost her temper at Enleco.

※※※

Although the missionary work was going quite smoothly, new problems were soon exposed. More and more believers in the Goddess of Life quit the sect of the Goddess of Life and turned to the God of Wisdom promoted by Bertina. Originally, This is not a bad thing, but Bertina soon discovered that those who turned to believe in the God of Wisdom did not really understand the teachings of the God of Wisdom. They were just trying to avoid being believers of the Goddess of Life and must abide by them. those rules and regulations.

Some of these rules and regulations are acceptable, such as dressing, maintaining hygiene, and arranging work and rest time. However, the teachings of the goddess require everyone to be selfless and dedicate all their property to help people in need. This is unacceptable to most people. The teachings of the goddess teach people to be patient in everything, which is also true for many people. Something that is unacceptable to people. It is precisely because of this that the belief in the God of Wisdom has become more and more popular. After all, apart from the doctrine that is simply incomprehensible, the God of Wisdom does not require too many behavioral precepts in life. And that sacred teaching that makes people unable to understand is just for rote memorization. It is not impossible for ordinary people to do it. Anyway, the whole teaching only has about 1,500 words, and it takes several days of effort. Just memorized it all.

Regarding this situation, Enleco once suggested that those goddess believers divide the rules and precepts required by the goddess into several acceptable levels. People who can adhere to a certain level of rules and precepts are recognized as a certain level. A level of goddess believer, in this way, will not scare away all those who are willing to believe in the goddess of life. However, those elders obviously have their own opinions on the belief in the goddess. What's more, this suggestion comes from the mouth of this blasphemous "devil", and few people are willing to listen to Enleco's words.

Unlike those believers of the Goddess of Life, Bertina quite listened to Enleco's advice. Anyway, it was impossible for those civilians to understand the true teachings of the God of Wisdom for a while, and in order to distinguish religious people from non-believers Later, Bertina took some of the most basic requirements from the rules and precepts of the Goddess of Life, such as "keep your clothes neat in public places" and "don't waste food". As a believer of the God of Wisdom, you must abide by them. rule.

At the same time, this little girl who had just become addicted to the "Saint Girl" also arranged a simple prayer ceremony for the believers of the God of Wisdom, but it was enough to satisfy this little girl's little vanity. Of course, this kind of prayer ceremony The ritual was also prescribed by Bertina as a homework that all believers of the God of Wisdom must complete every day.

As the number of believers in these two sects continues to increase, the security problem has basically been solved. Followed by the good news brought by Dakto's father, the cooperation with the county governor is quite satisfactory, and those nobles Their enthusiasm for establishing a hospital also surprised Dad. It's safe to say the whole thing went pretty smoothly.

Of course, when they first cooperated, those nobles were quite dissatisfied with Enleco for entrusting the whole matter to a so-called bad old man. However, when Dad talked about a lot of anecdotes circulating among the upper class nobles in Vedsk, the capital, After the incident, this inconspicuous old man immediately became a member of an ancient family from the capital with eccentric habits. One of the reasons that caused the nobles to have such misunderstandings was that my father had a unique vision for clothing, etiquette, and decoration. Of course, as the royal tailor of the palace, my father had seen a lot over the years, so he could just talk about it casually. Two clicks can bring this remote place to a place that has never traveled far. The local nobles with little experience were stunned. Even the county magistrate, who is a well-experienced noble, has to admit that he has a far-reaching understanding of the social circle of the upper-class nobles. Not comparable to dad.

Because of this, it didn't take long for Father Dakto to become a star figure in Chengdaville City. Of course, the matters that Enleco asked his father to handle were successfully completed with the full cooperation of those nobles.

And the funding that ended up being far more than the best-case scenario originally anticipated.

Those nobles who were confused by their father asked to book rooms in the hospital. Even before the construction of the hospital started, the design drawings had been changed again and again, and the area occupied was getting larger and larger. In the end, it was still not possible to meet everyone's needs, so that an auction had to be used to determine which person the room on the design map belonged to. As a result, the funds raised have far exceeded the best-case scenario originally imagined. What's more, most of the nobles who were shocked by their father's clever words asked him to help them decorate according to the most popular decoration style in the capital city of Vedsk, and in this regard, those nobles were even more willing to spend money. That was a matter of face, and the one who benefited the most from it was Dakto's father. Tens of thousands of gold coins rolled into his pocket like running water, so much so that when he handed over the money to When Enleco and Bertina met, the two magic apprentice apprentices were shocked and thought that their father had taken the risk and robbed the bank.

Now that the funding problem has been solved, little Bertina's love has inevitably swelled. According to her thoughts, she wants to protect the entire civilian population of Stryer County under the wings of her faith, so that God's favor can extend to everyone.

While Bertina was immersed in the sacred ideal, Enleco brought this unrealistic little girl back to reality. In order to prevent this "saint girl" from spending all her money at once , all the money is kept by Dad, and if you want to spend it, it must be approved by Enleco personally.

This rule undoubtedly made the only female member of the three decision-makers quite dissatisfied, but now Bertina has understood what things must be fought for and what things do not need to be stubborn, so she finally made a concession, but the condition was that Enlai No matter what, Ke must first resettle the poor people living in the bottom of society with nothing in the back mountains. This is already the biggest regret that has always been stuck in Bertina's heart.

Faced with Bertina's request, Enleco had no way to refuse. After all, he would not lend a helping hand to the people who were most in need of help under his nose. Instead, he would spread his gifts far away and far out of reach. This is not the act of helping others.

What's more, Enleco had already planned in his mind how to resettle those poor people. This plan had already been planned in his heart, but he could not put it into practice due to lack of funds. In fact, this plan was not implemented by Bertina at the time. While busy treating those poor patients, while standing in the garbage-filled alleys of the dirty slums, I had already thought about it.

For some unknown reason, those poor people like to pile garbage picked up from outside at the door of their homes. There are many kinds of garbage in the garbage, ranging from copper nails and steel needles to wheels and axles, all of which can be found in these garbage. Obviously these things are of no use to the people who collect them, but maybe collecting these worthless things will give the collectors a feeling of "I don't have nothing", so those people are still working hard to collect these things. Useless stuff. Seeing this scene, Enleco was thinking that these things were useless to collectors, but they might be useful to others. If all people take out things they don't need and exchange things they need with others, maybe these people will at least not be left with nothing like they are now.

Of course, there are several major problems with this idea. One of them is how to deal with things that are of no use to anyone. Another is how to obtain things that everyone needs. The last point is that when the value of things is different, How to make this exchange more reasonable

At that time, this idea was completely random, just killing time while waiting for Bertina. Afterwards, Enleco did not care about this novel and interesting question. Until now, Bertina proposed to let herself help those living When he was among the poor in the slums, Enleco once again thought of the problem he had thought about at that time.

To be honest, Enleco is really looking forward to finding the correct answer to that question. Anyway, the hospital is now on the right track, and the volunteers have been able to practice on their own, and there is no need to supervise them all day long. . The experiment of producing holy water could not progress due to the temporary lack of reliable assistants. Taking this opportunity to find the answer to that interesting question is the best way to spend your time right now.

No one thought that the "mutual aid system", which was called one of the greatest discoveries of the prophet Enleco by later generations, was put forward precisely for this irresponsible reason, and those who most favored this system The strongest supporters, defenders, and people who are proud of it were originally just used as guinea pigs on the test plate by someone's temporary curiosity. Based on this point alone, Enleco is indeed the only descendant who has received the true inheritance of the crazy teacher Chris.
