The briefness and understanding in missionary Wright's reply instead left Gawain stunned for a good while. He had initially prepared a big pile of justifiable, well-grounded, and polite excuses to cope with the missionary's ceaseless chatter. The contents included and were not limited to 'the territory has no money to sustain a church', 'the territory has no money to provide for priests', and 'you've got to spend money to buy the bricks for the church'; but he didn't expect this suspected-gladiator-turned-cleric missionary to actually forget it just like that… He actually dropped it just like that…
This big brother couldn't be an undercover agent from the dark sects that infiltrated the Church of Holy Light, could he?
"You'll drop it just like that?" Even Amber could not help but burst out. "You do not plan on persuading more?"
