Although Beta felt that he would definitely win the secret contest with Bud, but he still didn't just sleep and work.
In terms of preaching and deepening the faith of believers, Shirley has a strong talent. She is a divine creature herself, and believers can feel Woking's divine aura as long as they stay at a certain distance from her. For the believers, if they can feel the breath of the gods, it is a supreme gift for them, and it will naturally strengthen their belief in the gods.
Shirley is in charge of preaching every day, and now she is rarely attached to Beta, but as long as the two of them are alone, Shirley's affectionate eyes can melt most men's hearts. Since Beta rescued her from Woking, she seems to have become more and more independent, but in fact she has become more and more dependent on Beta.
Beta has almost endless things to do now. Not only does he have to instruct a few students to build better stone houses for the believers, but he also has to grasp the overall situation. Now there are more and more people who believe in Woking, and dragons and snakes are mixed among them. Many people don't believe in Woking and they will change their ways.
Many of them are even using the names of believers to deceive other believers or oppress ordinary civilians.
These people are definitely the ones to be cleaned up. Therefore, Beta wanted Katie and her team members to temporarily set up a church guard, allowing them to walk from the dark world to the light, from the logistics to the front desk.
Beta formulated a series of rules and regulations for them, but when he took these systems to find Katie, it caused some opposition.
Katie took the rules and regulations book, looked at it for a while, and then put it aside. Several of her subordinates immediately snatched it up, turned around for a while, and then their faces became more and more serious.
From Beta's point of view, this is a very standardized and very humane rules and regulations document, but in the eyes of Katie and her subordinates, it seems not very human.
"Your Excellency, can you change it?" Katie looked at Beta and asked, "This system is really too strong."
Beta didn't expect that the other party would object. He asked, "For example, which one?"
"Here, all the guards of the church. You can't drink alcohol on the day of duty. There is also this, the guards, you can't leave the post for ten kilometers without authorization. There is also this..." Katie spoke for nearly five minutes, and she gave an example terms, in Beta's view. They are all very necessary rules, but in their view, such terms are indeed a bit difficult.
"That's it?" Beta asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"
Katie shook her head: "Not anymore."
It has to be said that there is a big difference in concepts between the human beings in the earth information age and the human beings in this world.
People on Earth believe that a strong army must pass a detailed system. And the usual bit by bit norms can be built. Therefore, in the game, Beta's army is also trained and restrained according to this rule. Although he was opposed by Greenton and others in the early stage, he persisted and cultivated an elite army.
Therefore, Katie and others objected. In fact, at a certain speed, they just wanted to live more comfortably.
Teachable group guards, in Beta's vision, it is not only the guard force of the temple. It is also one of the publicity windows of the temple. Not only must it have combat effectiveness, but it must also be disciplined, similar to the role of a soldier.
Beta glanced over Katie and the others. Then he said: "I will not change the rules, so what do you think?"
"You don't change it if you don't change it." A man standing aside said arrogantly: "Who do you think you are? If you want to manage the affairs of the temple, it is naturally Ms. Shirley. If you want to manage us The combat power of the temple is naturally Ms. Katie. Don’t you rely on Ms. Shirley to be here. Don’t think that you can dictate to us because you have some strength.”
"Shut up." Katie yelled at the man, and then she said to Beta in embarrassment: "This is actually a bit difficult. You should also know that they are mercenaries. If you want to use strict terms It's really unreasonable to restrain them."
Beta waved his hand: "I don't have to ask them to abide by these regulations. They don't need to join the church guard, but the church guard must act according to the rules and regulations I wrote."
Katie finally heard something: "You mean, let them go?"
As soon as these words came out, the mercenaries were all shocked. Two or three people even looked at Beta with hatred.
Beta didn't care about the hostile expressions of these mercenaries at all. He nodded and said: "If they can abide by the rules I set, then they will naturally have a share in the core of the church guard. If they can't abide by them, they will naturally have to leave. Of course, I am not a ruthless person, you have done things for the temple during this time, and you have suffered without credit, and I will give you 20 gold coins as a severance pay as a token of my gratitude."
When it comes to this, Beta feels that he has done his best.
It's just that Katie and the others looked extremely ugly. The person who choked on Beta just now continued to choke: "What qualifications do you have to decide the rules and regulations of the church guard? If you really want to decide the system, it should be our boss Katie, not you."
Beta looked at each other, smiled and said: "If I can't decide the system of the church guard, then who can? You? You are not even a follower of the goddess Woking, what right do you have to question my decision?"
The man was speechless for a moment.
Beta looked at Katie: "I know you are very emotional. You recruited these people, and you will definitely worry about their future."
The words reached Katie's heart, and she nodded, expressing her agreement with Beta's statement.
Beta continued: "But the guards of the church are different. This is the power to guard the temple, and it is the foundation of our standing. Now the power of the gods is slowly growing and becoming stronger, and a strong and self-disciplined guard, It is necessary. If our core, that is, the people who lead them, cannot implement these institutional contents, then the army brought out will definitely be vulnerable."
The man yelled at the side again: "You little boy, do you know how to lead the army? Let me teach you, of course I was in the army and charged with more than a hundred people..."
A golden beam of light passed directly beside this man, and the powerful current of magic power made his whole body numb.
Beta withdrew his hand and said flatly: "When I took thousands of troops and participated in the war with tens of thousands of people, you were not even born."
These words immediately made everyone speechless. Although they didn't quite believe it, they didn't dare not believe it. In many cases, strength can change all objections. Beta's hand showed his strength, and then they remembered that not long ago, a companion was caught by this little face in their eyes. His nose was cleared and his face was swollen, and he was powerless to fight back.
"Katie, you should communicate with them." Beta said expressionlessly: "If you are willing to accept my system, then stay. If not, let them come to me to receive twenty gold coins."
Then Beta left.
Wait until the next day. Katie brought her subordinates over, and half of them left immediately after receiving twenty gold coins. After these people were lost, Beta immediately selected those strong and young people with relatively high faith values from among the believers to form a 120-member church guard.
Then there was hard training, and the few remaining professionals mixed in with the ordinary guard soldiers, receiving Beta's 'education'. Because Beta's training method borrowed from the training methods of the earth's army, especially in terms of military discipline. It almost completely copied a certain red team, so the people who were trained at the beginning complained, but soon they got used to it, and their spirits gradually changed.
Naturally, there was no way to hide the training of more than a hundred people. Soon the news of the training of the guards in the Wojin Temple reached the ears of Bard in the Temple of Light.
He is now sitting in his study with a happy expression on his face.
The Temple of Light has been built, and after spending a lot of gold coins, it is bigger than the Temple of Volkin. More style. And now Bard has converted nearly 30 nobles and has become a shallow follower of the Goddess of Light.
Moreover, these shallow believers donated a lot of money, the gold coins spent in the early construction of the Temple of Light. He recovered one-third in one go.
It's easy to do things with money! Bud chuckled, and then he plans to continue to convert the nobles as shallow believers. As long as he works harder and gets back all the money spent on building the temple, it will be a great credit, and he may be promoted to a archbishop.
Like the Temple of Woking. A fool who only knows how to spend money will never run a temple. There is only one road to bankruptcy waiting for them.
The priests of the temple need to eat, the temple needs to be repaired, and the temple needs to build a guard force, all of which need money. And once the money in Wojin Temple is used up, it will inevitably face the tragedy of people leaving the tea. Even if the young boy understood the importance of money in advance, they had already made an oath that he would not preach to the poor, and the other party could not preach to the nobles.
When the Woking Temple had no money, it was natural to preach to the nobles, but the poor had no money to donate to them. And because of the oath, once Beta took the initiative to come to the noble district, he would have a chance to make trouble.
Indeed, if there are many believers, it will be of great benefit to the gods. But if the temple itself can't sustain itself, no matter how many believers there are, it's useless. Therefore, all the temples give priority to preaching to the nobles. Only when the temples can be maintained, things like faith will be effective.
Only those young and inexperienced stunned youths would rush to preach to the poor. In Bud's eyes, Beta is indeed quite capable, but he is too young and inexperienced.
How long can the money of the Woking Temple be used? half a year
Bud stood up, while guessing, he went out and got into the carriage, preparing to be a guest at the home of a certain noble. This person is also the target of his preaching, because the other party is very rich, as long as he can become a shallow believer, the other party will definitely donate a large amount of money.
The carriage arrived at its destination very quickly, but after he got off the carriage, he was told by the butler standing at the door that the master had gone to the Temple of Woking.
Went to the Temple of Woking? Bud's first reaction was a little annoyed, and then he immediately became happy. Could it be that Beta preached to this nobleman? Then he has a reason to trouble the Temple of Woking.
He hurried back to the carriage and shouted, "Quick, take me to the Temple of Woking."
The person Bud is going to preach is called Joyce. His family was originally a wealthy businessman. After four generations of hard work, he finally became an aristocrat and was accepted by the aristocratic class as one of them.
Now Joyce was looking at Shirley with fascination in his eyes.
As long as normal men like beautiful women, Xueli's appearance is definitely ranked first in Tonggu City, without any suspense.
It's just that Joyce didn't come to tease the beauty. He came this time to ask the Temple of Woking to sacrifice gold coins for him.
The city lord Greenton achieved the legend through the sacrifice of gold coins, and all the nobles know this. They have also inquired that a large amount of gold coins will be spent for gold coin sacrifices, but if they just turn themselves into professionals, the cost of gold coins is still within their acceptable range.
Many people are quite interested in this, but because they are not familiar with the Temple of Woking, they dare not come casually, fearing that if they fail, they will die. After all, most of them are just ordinary people, not like the city lord strong. Moreover, the slums are dirty and smelly, and they don't want to go to such a lowly place casually.
But recently, more and more people believe in the Goddess Woking. Those poor people who were dirty and smelly, after believing in the Goddess Woking, not only become clean, but also have a strange temperament.
Because of his family business, Joyce had a lot of contact with the common people. After coming and going, he had a little understanding of the teachings of the Woking Temple. He was then astonished to discover that the teachings of the Temple of Woking were nothing more than the dogma of aristocratic etiquette.
Although there are other inexplicable rules mixed in, the core content is indeed the dogma of noble etiquette.
For example, love cleanliness; eating rules; precautions when speaking in daily life; walking posture; persuading people to be more literate, etc. The so-called aristocratic etiquette is actually these small places, which are accumulated bit by bit, and slowly change a person's way of doing things, so that he becomes quality, advances and retreats with restraint.
And these things are generally only taught by people from noble families... They will not spread such teachings outside to let the common people know, after all, this is the easiest and most direct way for them to distinguish themselves from the common people The way.
Joyce thought this was an amazing discovery, but he didn't tell anyone. Instead, he went to understand the teachings of the Woking Temple, and then he made a very bold decision to sacrifice gold coins. , then he decided to believe in Goddess Woking, and it doesn't matter if he fails, as long as people don't die, everything is easy to handle.
