Although Shirley is said to be a divine creature, it is still a little bit reluctant to be a divine container for a goddess in this world. (.
. )
Until half an hour later, Xue Li was still weak. This was not because Xue Li deliberately wanted to lie in Beta's arms for more time, but because she really did not have the strength to move around. Beta's system interface also reminded Shirley that she was extremely tired and needed time to rest.
Beta left the slum with Shirley in her arms, a gentle princess hug. Shirley fell asleep on the way, sleeping soundly.
Although it is said that Wojin did not descend from the gods, her divine sense projection also caused a lot of commotion. Of course, it is not comparable to the coercion of the God of Shadows last time, but it still caused a lot of shock in the Bronze Drum City , Those who have weak beliefs are all praying in the street or at home that God's punishment will not come, and some people pray for their own sins.
When Beta returned to the hotel with Shirley in her arms, she also saw a few of her students kneeling in the corridor of the hotel praying devoutly.
Different from other terrified believers of Ability God, several of his students are full of fanaticism and excitement. They are all believers of Woking, and they can naturally feel the breath of their own goddess. Although they don't understand why the breath of the goddess comes out of the bronze drum City appears, but this does not prevent them from guessing and imagining.
They believed that the most plausible reason was that the goddess knew that they were going to build a temple here, so she specially showed her power to encourage them.
Everyone has an answer for something. After several students got this answer, they were ecstatic. While praying, they assured the goddess that they would definitely build the temple magnificently.
It is a good thing that Beta did not correct the misunderstandings of these students. He is motivated and enthusiastic.
He put Shirley on the bed, and the sleeping girl looked very gentle and beautiful, completely different from her usual 'funny' aura. He watched and couldn't help wondering if Goddess Woking was asleep. Will it be like this
But soon, he denied his idea, because according to legend, gods never need to rest.
Beta ate something and then fell asleep. In the early morning of the next day, the door of his room was suddenly pushed open gently. Beta, who had always been vigilant, immediately sat up and found out. The person who pushed the door turned out to be Shirley who looked like a thief.
She saw Beta woke up. Immediately disappointed, he said: "Tch, wake up so early, I still want to wake you up."
"Wake me up?" Beta sat up, yawned, and asked curiously, "What do you plan to call?"
"For example, good morning bite?" Shirley had a serious expression on her face.
Beta's face twitched: "Who taught you these strange things?"
"Of course it's a goddess." Shirley said without hesitation: "I am a life created by a goddess. The knowledge in my head is all given to me by her. This is naturally the teaching of the goddess."
Beta felt that his three views had been refreshed again. Although it is said that the goddess is also a woman, she is also a god. in most people's minds. Female righteous gods are very serious people. Although they are knowledgeable, they should not be able to handle such filthy knowledge, but Xue Li's words are indeed irrefutable.
Shirley looked exactly like Woking.
Hearing this, Beta couldn't help but see Woking's good morning bite in his mind. Suddenly his expression became very weird.
Shirley was on the side, looking at Beta's appearance, she immediately said with a smirk: "It seems that the master is a little tempted, do you want me to give you a good morning bite, of course, if you want to put it into the scabbard once, it is also possible. I will always I can give everything for you."
Seeing Shirley who had become a little 'funny' again, Beta sighed for a long time, then he got his mind and emotions together, ignored Shirley, went straight outside, ordered breakfast, and planned to share it with the students Food.
Shirley chased after him. She also wanted to wrap her arms around Beta's arm and stick to him, but unfortunately Beta didn't give her a chance.
After breakfast, Beta took Shirley and the students to the slums.
It is natural for the students to be in the environment of the slums. After all, they were almost like this more than a year ago, so naturally they wouldn't feel too uncomfortable. But when they saw all this, they felt a little bit emotional in their hearts. They knew very well that if it wasn't for the teacher, they would be no different from the children in these slums until now.
When they reached the center, Zorro was already waiting there. Beside him, there was a large circle of poor children watching.
They were all yellow and thin, and some even had abscesses on their heads.
Living in such a harsh man-made environment, most of the children are either full of roundworms or various dermatitis diseases. Of course, this is also related to their low immunity because they are not able to eat enough. .
When Zorro saw Beta, he immediately greeted him: "Your Excellency, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sorry." Beta said rather embarrassedly: "I have been waiting for a long time, I brought some students over, and I will hand over the construction of the temple to them."
Zorro's eyes swept across the students of Beta, and he could see from his eyes that these children were also poor before, but now they are obviously much better in spirit, but the 'earth' on their bodies is still not fully developed. fade away.
At this time, he still didn't dare to look Shirley squarely: "Then how can I help?"
"I can see that you are very prestigious in the slums." Beta said to him: "Can you help me gather the people in the slums?"
Zorro was a little worried: "What are your plans? This is the last place they can rest. If possible, I hope you don't drive them away."
"Don't worry, they are all potential believers to me."
Hearing this, Zoro was finally relieved. He asked a little boy to go to a nearby tree and rang the bronze bell there.
Ten minutes after the sound of Dangdang sounded, a large group of people surrounded them... Judging from the number, there should be about two thousand. But Beta is very clear that there are definitely more than this number of people in the slums in the North District, which should be the reason why only one or two people come to each household.
"Your Excellency Beta, as long as you tell these people what you say, I think everyone in the entire slum should know."
After Zorro finished speaking, he took two steps forward, and shouted at the poor people in front of him: "This is Your Excellency Beta, and this is Ms. Shirley. They are all nobles. I know you are not I am willing to come here, but I can tell you now, you have to listen if you don’t listen, otherwise you will be against me, Zorro.”
The originally noisy voice immediately became quiet after Zorro's roar.
Beta took this opportunity to scan the crowd, and said very gently: "My name is Beta, and I plan to build a temple here."
After a brief silence, the poor began to discuss one after another, and their faces were all worried. Although they don't have much knowledge, they also know that temples have always been built only in wealthy areas. If this nobleman plans to build a temple here, does that mean that they should be driven away? Is this the reason for the convening this time
Pessimism began to gradually spread among the crowd.
Beta continued: "I know what you are worried about. Let me assure you first that the temple is only built here and will not let you leave your home. We have no intention of occupying any of our friends' private land and property."
The discussion gradually died down, and more than two thousand people looked at Beta, waiting for him to continue talking.
"But to build the temple, we can't do it alone. And the road traffic here is very bad, so I need workers, a lot of workers." Beta shouted: "I want to build all the roads here first." The slate path, and the sewers are going to be repaired here, both of which are big projects, so I have to recruit workers and get paid."
After a few seconds, the crowd erupted with a roar, and they shouted desperately: "Recruit me, recruit me, my lord, I am very strong!"
"My lord, as long as I am full, I am willing to do any work."
These poor people became more and more excited as they shouted, and the first group of people even planned to rush to Beta's side.
Shirley came out from behind Beta, swiped her finger forward lightly, and a transparent golden light wall blocked the excited poor.
Seeing such a magical effect, all the poor people were startled, and then they immediately retreated obediently, and became quiet again, but their expressions were still very excited, looking at Beta's eyes, full of hope.
"There are a lot of people in the slums, and I can't recruit everyone to be workers." Beta glanced around the crowd and said, "Every household has a man in his prime. There can only be one man. Don't ask for more. Come and do it for me." I will pay five copper coins per person per day, not including food. If you want, your family members will gather here in the afternoon. In addition, if there is no man in the family, women and children who can do light work are also fine. There are jobs for them here too, but they only get three copper coins a day."
Hearing this, the poor people burst into cheers. In Tonggu City, one copper coin can buy two catties of rough noodles, and five copper coins is ten catties of noodles. Although it may not look like a lot on the bright side, for these poor people who can hardly eat every day, it is A family's rations for several days.
The rough noodles are cooked together with some wild vegetables, and it is a pot of noodle soup that can make people eat delicious and full.
Even three copper coins can buy six catties of noodles, which is also a life-saving ration for those families who lack men.
"Okay, now you explain." Beta said: "After the sun is west in the afternoon, you come to my place to repay, and I will arrange work for you."
The poor people dispersed at once, and they had to rush back to tell their families the good news.
Xue Li was a little puzzled at the side: "Master, their physique is not very good. If we let them work as workers, our progress will be very slow."
"It doesn't matter. Slow down, but they have received our favor, and it will be easier for them to accept the teachings of our temple in the future."
But Shirley asked again: "Why don't you just give them the money, wouldn't that be more convenient?"
"On the contrary, people's minds are very complicated." Beta said with a smile: "If we give them money, it will only make our missionary work more difficult in the future. Money is not everything." (.)
