There are more than a dozen female elves with brand marks on their bodies... It is unrealistic for them to walk back to the forest elves by themselves, and it is very likely that they will become the spoils of other slave catchers again on the way.
If it was Beta who took them back to the forest elves, there would be no problem, but the journey was too far away, and at least a month had passed. It would be fine if there was a bit of a teleportation node, but the problem is that in the game, he did not participate in the massacre of the forest goddess, and in the second half of the period, he has been taking care of his own territory, and has never been to the forest elves. countries have never been to. Because it is impossible to teleport to the vicinity of the forest elves.
Now he is still on an epic mission, and there are a lot of things waiting for him to go back to deal with in his own territory, so he has time to escort these elves back to the elf forest.
But he didn't have the time, someone did.
Glanton... the half-elf.
Beta took a short rest, recovered enough mental strength, continued to activate the teleportation magic, and returned to the outskirts of Tonggu City a few seconds later.
It was already late at night, and because of Miss Alice, Beta passed through the city gate easily, and there was no need to waste time reporting, and soon met the legendary strongman, Glanton.
Looking at the female elf slaves lined up in front of him, Glanton hid the murderous intent in his eyes well. He smiled and asked the butler to take the dozen or so elves to the best room to rest, and sent almost all the elves in the castle to rest. The maids in the house go to serve them, help them bathe, change clothes and so on.
After all the female elves left, his killing intent broke out undisguisedly, and the porcelain in the room shattered one by one.
Beta, Shirley, and Emma sat quietly drinking sweet fruit wine amidst this astonishing aura.
After a while, Glanton finally calmed down. He didn't ask Beta where he rescued him, but said directly: "I'm planning to go to the Elven Forest. I will take these people back. will fall."
Glanton is a legendary Lancer. With such strength, he is always a guest wherever he goes, but if he can bring a dozen more elf slaves back, he will not only be welcomed by the elves, but also grateful by them.
Although Granton is not rare such gratitude.
"Didn't you go on a mission? How did you come back so quickly?" Glanton knew the mission function of the Knights of the Round Table system: "Or is it part of the mission to rescue these elves of the same race?"
Beta waved his hand: "It's just on the way. Take a short break, and we will send back immediately."
"So urgent?" Glanton frowned and said, "Then there is something I have to tell you... Temple of Woking, it's been a bit strange these two days."
Beta narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that, the Temple of Woking is an important part of his strength, and now he has a good relationship with Shirley and the goddess Woking, and there is nothing wrong with the Temple of Woking .
"What kind of strange method?"
Glanton said indifferently: "Then you have to investigate it yourself. You are also very clear that there are some things that are not convenient for me to get involved in."
Nod slightly to show understanding. Beta got up and took Shirley and Emma into the space of the mansion, and then left the city lord's mansion.
Compared with the night in the desert, the temperature in Tonggu City is obviously much warmer. Several main streets here are still very lively even in the middle of the night.
Beta did not stop, but went directly to the distraction temple controlled by Katie.
The Woking God Religion has now taken root in Bronze Drum City. Even in the middle of the night, believers are still praying outside the temple.
Beta went straight into the temple. The guards in charge of guarding the temple were all Katie's people. Two newcomers saw Beta and were about to stop him from entering the temple, but an old team member next to them shook his head at them and let Beta go. Swagger in.
The orange candlelight illuminated the whole study, and Katie was correcting the plan at the desk. It was very difficult for her to see. After all, not long ago, she was just an illiterate killer, and now she has suddenly become a dark consul. It is normal for her to be under a lot of pressure.
Goddess Wojin forcibly raised her level to a master. A high level will naturally bring about an increase in intelligence, so her learning ability has undergone a qualitative change, and learning words has become a very simple matter.
However, the improvement of intelligence does not mean that her knowledge, experience, and insight will be improved rapidly. These things still need time to accumulate little by little. At most, she is just easier to learn new knowledge than ordinary people.
At this time, she was looking at the income and cashier table of Woking Temple during this period, and there were some other trivial matters that she needed to deal with. To put it more simply, Katie has no real management experience in the real sense. She cannot directly see clearly that after she makes a decision, she will work on the future of the temple, or what kind of reaction will be caused by the surrounding forces. .
She has to think about these one by one, so it is a waste of energy and brainpower. It was only at such times that she felt that Beta was a great person, and she really didn't understand how he made all the wise decisions in her opinion.
Just as she was sighing in her heart, there was a knock on the door behind her. Katie was a little displeased, she had confessed earlier, after night, if there is nothing important, don't bother her.
Is there something troublesome? With such doubts, Katie opened the door, and after seeing the people outside the door, her pretty face showed a slight joy.
"Your Excellency Beta, you are finally back." Katie's eyes brightened: "Come in and sit down, I have something very important and I want to talk to you."
During the mansion surgery, Emma looked at Katie's pretty face and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's so late, and this woman is so happy to invite Beta into the house. It seems that she has bad intentions."
Shirley smiled and said, "I don't know who it is. He ran into Beta's room late at night, but was thrown out of the window by him."
"Ah... don't talk about this again." Emma blushed, danced, and was even a little out of breath.
Beta didn't know the movement of the mansion art, he found a place to sit down generously, looked around, smiled and said: "You are still so simple. Our goddess is the god of wealth, you dark consul If it is too simple, it may damage the reputation of the goddess if it is spread out."
Katie smiled lightly, she knew that Beta was joking, although the place where she handles affairs does look average, but in fact her personal income is not low. And this income is not black income, but the rules set by Beta. In fact, the income of everyone in Woking Temple is not low, from the lowest priest to the bishop, all have a certain income. The money, on the one hand, comes from the worship of believers, and on the other hand, it comes from the 'reward' from the goddess Wojin.
In the small treasury of each temple, a small amount of gold coins will suddenly appear periodically, and there is really no one else who can put a sum of money in the temple without anyone noticing, except for the goddess.
"I know you came late at night, it must be for the affairs of the temple." Katie sighed slightly: "Actually, I also feel that something is wrong, and I have been trying to find you, but your whereabouts are too difficult to track down. So it’s been delayed until now.”
Judging from Beta's point of view, Katie is not a very qualified manager, because she still lacks the necessary overall view. But Jakati felt that something was wrong, and it must have been serious.
"What's going on?" Beta raised his expression: "Tell me about it, even you, the Dark Consul, think it's wrong, it must be a little troublesome."
Katie leaned forward slightly, fully revealing the curve of her bulging chest: "The main temple is built in a poor area, but now, there are fewer and fewer poor people there, and more and more nobles live in it." .”
Hearing this, Beta moved her fingers slightly: "What about the houses we built for those people for free? Those houses are very ordinary, and the nobles can't live in them... Or in other words, they bought the houses of the poor and demolished them in large numbers. , Start building your own mansion?"
Katie nodded: "That's true. Many nobles suddenly bought houses and land, and they gave a lot of money to the poor. Now a large number of houses have been demolished, and the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people. Luxury houses are being built."
"It happened all of a sudden?"
Katie sighed: "It should be! Because there are other people managing the main temple, I didn't pay much attention to it. When I found out that something was wrong, at least half of the land had already fallen into the hands of other nobles. Now, probably Almost two-thirds of the way."
For other religions, it is a good thing that there are a large number of nobles who believe in them. After all, nobles have a lot of money and influence, so they can donate a lot of money.
But the current Wojin Temple is different. The goddess in charge of wealth is not short of money, but lacks faith, and now its teachings have been changed by Beta, and it is taking the public route. If the main temple is surrounded by nobles, turning that place into a rich area, and then repelling a large number of poor people and the masses, then the speed of the temple's mission will definitely be greatly affected.
And most importantly, Beta smelled a conspiracy from this matter.
In addition, Glanton's reminder can illustrate this point even more from the side. An elf who has lived for nearly four hundred years must have a stronger sense of politics than most people. Since he has spoken out, it is very likely that someone is targeting the Temple of Volking.
I don't know whether it is only aimed at the temple or the goddess Wojin.
If it's the former, then it's just a competition between pure believers among the temples. If it's the latter, hehe, things have to develop in the direction of life and death.
