After getting Liang Lidong's promise, Barbara left happily. Before the black-robed girl got into the carriage, she sneaked a few glances at Kyle with some reluctance. △↗ Barbara saw this scene, she pursed her lips, and forcibly pulled the black-robed girl into the carriage.
Kyle watched the carriage disappear at the end of the road at the entrance of the village, and he reluctantly walked back. Liang Lidong laughed at the side: "Don't look at it, if you really don't want to part with it, you might as well live with the city lord. Anyway, you are already engaged, so it's not strange for a man and a woman to live together."
Kyle's face was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Teacher, although Barbara and I are unmarried couples, we abide by noble etiquette and have never surpassed it."
It's no wonder that Kyle is so nervous, because the traditional customs of Hollevin prohibit negative distance before marriage. But Liang Lidong said: "Kyle, I remember telling you half a year ago that things like etiquette are just means used by the nobles to restrain the common people. You don't know how dirty the lives of the nobles are in private, so don't worry about it. These things, if you have the opportunity, turn Barbara into your own woman. In addition, when you marry Barbara in the future, you will definitely become a real noble class. At that time, you will inevitably have various entertainments with others, and various temptations are waiting You. Money, power, beauty, etc. will corrode your will, and I don’t know if you will still stick to your current dream at that time.”
"I..." Kyle mumbled, unable to answer.
Liang Lidong patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you can stick to your dreams or not. In my opinion, being responsible for your relatives is a good man. It's okay to pursue dreams if you have the conditions, but if you throw away your wife for your dreams Abandoning a child is not so good. Barbara is a good girl, at least to you. Make her a woman when you get the chance, don't make her wait too long."
After speaking, Liang Lidong left Kyle and went back to the temple by himself.
There was no one praying in the temple, and Belin was cleaning the main hall of the temple seriously. When she saw Liang Lidong, she immediately smiled and said, "Teacher, are you back?"
"Beilen, come with me to the room. I have something I want to talk to you about." Liang Lidong walked forward while talking, and after a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Why don't you come over?"
Beilin was shy and timid in the same place. When she heard Liang Lidong's question, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Teacher... I, I have someone I like, so I can't... serve you."
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned dark: "You little girl, what are you thinking? If I was looking for a woman, I wouldn't look for bean sprouts like you. I like mature women with a great figure. No matter how beautiful you are, I'm not interested in a youthful wastebabe like you."
Bellin was greatly relieved, in fact, when Liang Lidong asked her to be an assistant in the temple, her mother had secretly whispered to her. If Your Excellency Beta is interested in you, just follow him. He is handsome and has a good personality. He will never lose money. If you can catch his heart, you will soar into the sky.
For her mother's teaching, Belin was poor and annoyed, but if she thought about it carefully, if Teacher Beta was really interested in her as her mother said, and if she brought it up, would she be able to firmly refuse... After a few minutes After thinking about it, she came up with an answer that made her feel very sad: no.
Shyly refusing to greet like this is already the limit of what Belin can do. After all, Teacher Beta is handsome, kind, and has a high status. She feels that there are not many girls in this world who can ignore the teacher's charm. But when she heard the teacher say that she was bean sprouts, she became ashamed again: "Teacher, you underestimate people. When I grow up, I will definitely be a very beautiful woman."
"Yes." Liang Lidong sighed in his heart. Although he felt that his EQ was not low, sometimes he really couldn't understand women's weird thinking circuit like an undercurrent in the sea: "Now can you talk to me in the room Is something wrong?"
"Okay." Belin sighed, thankful that the teacher had no idea about her, but she was also faintly disappointed.
The two entered the bedroom, Liang Lidong poured a glass of water for Belin, asked her to sit down, and said: "You have made great progress recently, and you will be able to become an official priest in about ten or twenty days. But I hope you can work harder and become a pastor within ten days, can you do it?"
"Why?" Belin was a little strange: "Didn't the teacher teach us to proceed step by step?"
Liang Lidong said helplessly: "I can't help it. I will go out for a while if I have something to do in ten days, and there must be an official priest in charge of affairs in the temple. Now you are the one who is close to the job of priest. I hope you can do it within ten days. If you succeed, it doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed, I can use my mental power to force you to temporarily increase the strength of your mental power, so that you can meet the most basic needs of becoming a priest, but there are only a few minor side effects.”
Belin asked worriedly, "What side effects?"
"Forcibly increasing the mental power will cause the mental space to oscillate, which will have a certain impact on the stability of the mental space. The higher the mental power forcibly increased, the more unstable the mental space will be, which will affect the speed of future mental power improvement. "Liang Lidong sat opposite to Belin, and he continued: "But because you don't have much mental strength from being a formal priest, even if you forcefully upgrade, it will only cause a small shock in your spiritual space, and the impact will not be great. Big."
"Everything I have is given by my teacher, but I am not afraid of a slight mental shock." Belin stood up: "Since this matter is urgent, I will go back and work hard first, and I will try to reach the teacher's level within ten days." I hope it won't cause you any trouble."
Seeing the girl leave, Liang Lidong let out a sigh of relief. He didn't want to put pressure on Belin, but the current situation forced him to do so.
Not long after Belin left, a notification popped up in the temple management system that someone had been promoted to an orthodox believer. Liang Lidong took a closer look and found that it was Jerry. Since Jerry's eldest brother Hank made trouble in the temple, he felt that he was not qualified to stay in the temple to study, and returned home early. Now that he was suddenly promoted to an orthodox believer, it was very likely that Tom had passed on Liang Lidong's words to him. Under the agitation of his mind, he worshiped Goddess Wojin even more, so he became an orthodox believer.
He actually became an orthodox believer earlier than Belin, Liang Lidong couldn't help but smile bitterly at this accident.
The following days were the same as usual, Liang Lidong continued to give teachings, Jerry came back to attend classes with other children, and afterwards went to practice combat expertise with Kyle and Belin. The recruited young men began to lay stone paths around the temple, which lasted until late at night on the ninth day. When Liang Lidong was sleeping, someone knocked on the door of the temple.
Liang Lidong opened the door, and it was Belin in pajamas. She seemed to have become a little prettier. Liang Lidong's heart moved, and he opened the system interface, and Belin's data was immediately displayed on the retina.
Name: Belin (lv1)
Gender: Female
Occupation: Priest, Shepherd (Wolking Goddess Follower)
Age: 15
Sure enough, he became a professional. Liang Lidong opened the interface of the temple management system and found that Belin had also become an orthodox believer. He smiled and said: "You really succeeded. It seems that you have worked hard these days. Come in."
The girl's face was full of excitement, and she said: "I was meditating just now, and suddenly I heard a very sacred voice tell me that she is the goddess Woking, and asked me if I would like to become her believer, become her Of course I agree, and then a very strange force exploded in my head, and I learned three magic spells out of nowhere, one to exorcise diseases and the other to heal Minor injuries, the last one is Divine Punishment!"
"Come in, I have some things to tell you, this matter is related to the matter after you take over the temple."
Belin nodded, she followed behind Liang Lidong, after a while, she suddenly said: "Teacher, you are not actually a believer of Goddess Wojin."
"See it?" Liang Lidong smiled: "All priests have the ability to recognize their own people, and it's not surprising that you can see it."
"You don't have the power of Goddess Woking in you...I feel it now, and I even see it." Belin looked puzzled: "Teacher, since you are not a believer of Goddess Woking, why do you still help her to promote it?" Philosophy? You have a thorough understanding of the goddess' teachings, but you are not her follower, which is too strange."
Of course, Liang Lidong would not say that he did this in order to exchange magic spells, so he could only lie and say: "I agree with the idea of Goddess Wojin, so I will help you out. Alright... Now it's time for me to talk... Tomorrow I will It will be announced to all the students that you will temporarily take over the temple. You are now a priest and a professional, and ordinary people are no longer your opponents. In places like Reed Village, there are very few professionals visiting, so there is no problem in terms of safety. "
"There are more than a thousand gold coins stored here." Liang Lidong kicked down the iron box next to him, and continued: "The construction of Reed Village is still going on, and the wages for those laborers will be paid by you."
Belin looked at the box and swallowed.
"The other thing is that if someone comes to the Temple of Woking Goddess for treatment, if he is a poor person, no matter how serious his illness is, they will all say that he has a minor illness and minor injury, and only five copper coins will be enough. If in case There are rich people coming, I know this possibility is very small, after all, Reed Village is very remote, but if there are really rich people and nobles who come to treat illnesses and injuries, you can call a minor illness a serious illness, and charge him ten silver coins , a serious illness is considered a serious illness, and he will be charged a gold coin, understand!"
Belin looked tangled: "Teacher, you look too bad."
"It's just stealing from the rich and helping the poor." Liang Lidong laughed and said, "The rich and the nobles value their bodies very much, and they have money. If they don't pay them a fortune, are they going to blackmail the poor people? There are many places where money will be used in the temple. …”
Belin also laughed: "I see, it's actually quite fun to think about it."
The next day, Liang Lidong announced on the preaching platform: "I have something to go out for a while. Last night, Belin officially became a priest and a professional. During my absence, she will preside over the affairs of the temple. I understand. ?"
Amidst the uproar, Belin stood up with a confidence that she didn't have before. Many children found that Belin became much more beautiful, her skin became whiter, and the spots on her face disappeared, making her smooth.
