For the shepherdess Belin, the High Priest in front of her was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Although it was not a good word to describe a man as beautiful, Belin could not find any other words to describe him. After all, she was illiterate and had little experience. She had never even been to the city. The farthest place she had been to was the wild grass and fruit forest behind the village. Every autumn, there would be three kinds of sweet and sour fruits for her to taste. It was also the favorite place of all the children in the village. It was also the only season of the year that they could eat 'snacks'.
She put her hand in her mouth and blew the whistle. The seven goats gathered around her. Belin was a little proud. She was the only one in the village who could use the whistle to herd. No one else could master this skill. Even her father, who had herded goats all his life, could not do it.
But very quickly, she blushed and became dejected. Blowing the whistle was a very rude action. If it was done in front of other people in the village, it wouldn't be a big deal. But in front of such a handsome big shot, it was really too rude. The seven goats crowded around the girl. Belin looked at Liang Lidong out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he still had a gentle smile on his face, without any expression of disgust, the embarrassment in her heart gradually weakened.
"High Priest, please follow me." Belin lowered her head and walked in front. The seven goats followed behind her.
Liang Lidong walked a few steps faster and caught up with Belin. He walked side by side with her and asked, "Girl, what is your name?"
"Belin." The girl's face was a little hot. She subconsciously folded her hands in front of her abdomen, looking very elegant.
"Then your name is a little similar to mine!" Liang Lidong's eyes flickered. "My name is Beta. Don't call me High Priest. I am now just a believer. Not everyone can respond to the title of High Priestess. If it is heard by someone serious, then I will be out of luck. You can call me believer Beta, brother Beta, or just Beta! "
In Liang Lidong's eyes, there was a system notification above the girl's head from the very beginning. He used his mind to open the system notification, but he could see very little data.
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Name:???
Age:???
Class:???
Apart from race and gender, the rest of the information was all question marks. However, after the girl said her name, the row of information immediately updated. That was why Liang Lidong's emotions fluctuated. This was slightly different from the game. In the game, all the NPCs' information was filled with question marks. Even if you knew their names, the name column would still be filled with question marks. Only after learning the Humanoid Creature Lore specialty would the NPC's information appear. Moreover, the Humanoid Creature Lore specialty was a rather rare Growth-type specialty. The higher the level, the more information one could see. At the highest level, one could even see the NPCs' attributes and equipment.
In addition, in addition to the specialization 'Knowledge of Humanoid Creatures', there were other specializations like 'Knowledge of Dragons', 'Knowledge of Canines', 'Knowledge of Amphibians', and so on. However, the most practical one was still the 'Knowledge of Humanoid Creatures'. After all, the scope of human creatures was very broad. Humans, goblins, dwarves, elves, giants … Even angels were considered humanoid creatures. The probability of this skill appearing was very low, and there was no way to learn it from NPCs. Liang Lidong knew many people in the game, and only one ally that he wasn't familiar with had this divine skill.
"I … don't dare!" Hearing Liang Lidong's self-introduction, Belin looked up at him and then quickly lowered her head. "I'm just … a lowly Shepherd. I don't have the right to call you by your name!"
At this time, the line of information on Belin's profession was immediately updated to: Shepherd!
Real-time information update! Liang Lidong's eyebrows twitched. This function was really useful. After all, when he came into contact with more people in the future, he might forget a lot of small things. But if he had the assistance of this system function, it would be much more convenient in terms of interpersonal relationships. As a player who had stayed in the game for eight years, made a name for himself, and had his own territory, he knew very well how important it was to have a good relationship with NPCs.
"The goddess tells us that everyone is born equal!" Liang Lidong planned to borrow the name of Goddess Woking. After all, he was now wearing the attire of a believer of the goddess. "No one is more noble than anyone else. The difference between people is only in character and virtue. If he has a kind heart, even if he's just a beggar, he's still much nobler than those nobles who don't do anything. "
Belin didn't quite understand what he was saying, but she was clear that this handsome priest didn't seem to care much about her identity, nor did he look down on her. This little realization made her happy. The girl struggled to raise her head, looked at Liang Lidong, summoned her courage, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you from Hollevin?"
"No!" Liang Lidong shook his head. "I just traveled here by accident, and I'm a believer in charge of spreading the glory of the goddess."
Seeing that Liang Lidong really answered her question, Belin calmed down a lot more, and she continued to ask, "Then Lord Beta, which country are you from? From Sosl? Or from Uddabri? "
In the game, both Sosl and Uddabri bordered Hollevin, and Uddabri and Hollevin were hostile countries. Was this really not a game world? Liang Lidong grew more and more confused, but he didn't show it on his face and continued to bluff, "After throwing ourselves into the arms of God, we no longer see nationality in our eyes. The people of the world, in our eyes, are only divided into two kinds: the believers who have converted, and the believers who are about to convert."
Belin was just a country girl and couldn't understand what Liang Lidong was saying, but she vaguely knew that it was noble words that only noble people could say. Looking at Liang Lidong's heroic appearance, her face became hotter and hotter. "Are believers nobler than non-believers? What kind of goddess is Woking? "
"All living beings are equal, and believers are no more noble than non-believers. Believers are just people who understand the ideas of God. What we believers have to do is to make the ideas of God known to more people. Of course, belief or not does not prevent God from loving the world. " Liang Lidong knew what a real believer should be like. "Goddess Woking is the goddess in charge of wealth, and she is responsible for distributing the general flow of money in the world."
Belin blinked. "Is our village so poor because we don't believe in Goddess Woking?"
It had to be said that Belin was a bit clever, and she could immediately think of the relationship between the poverty of the village and Goddess Woking. Liang Lidong shook his head. "No, Goddess Woking is only responsible for controlling the general flow of money, and everyone is equal in her eyes. Whether or not one has wealth has little to do with the goddess, and it mainly depends on oneself. If one is diligent, smart, and has a little business acumen, it is not difficult to have wealth. "
"Oh!" Belin replied, not really understanding what he meant. Belin liked to chat with Liang Lidong. She felt that the priest was very kind and would not discriminate against her because she was stupid. Instead, he carefully explained things to her. In contrast, Aunt Jessica next door was not so good. She clearly knew a little more than her, but she pretended to be knowledgeable in front of others. When she asked her something, she would be evasive and not dare to tell others for a long time.
Belin wanted to ask more about the outside world, but the village was already in front of her. There were a few idle adults squatting at the village entrance. They saw Belin first, and then Liang Lidong. Because of the talent of "noble temperament," these adults immediately stood up and made way for the village entrance with a somewhat fearful expression. They were, after all, adults. The first time they saw Liang Lidong, they "knew" that the person in front of them was a noble. Although they were afraid, they did not kneel down in front of him like Belin.
One of these adults was Belin's father. She apologized to Liang Lidong and took a few sheep to the elders for him to help graze for a short period of time.
Liang Lidong, on the other hand, took the opportunity to look at the village. Like most villages in the game, it was not a big place. The yellow dirt path connected to the village entrance, and the village was surrounded and protected by a simple wall made of wood. The men at the village entrance were all wearing patched gray linen clothes, and their hands and legs were full of yellow mud. Now that Liang Lidong had the Cloud Dragon Blue Eyes, he could see that these men's hair was dirty and greasy like hemp ropes. Gray and brown fleas were scurrying in their hair, and white insect eggs were hanging on the roots of their hair.
He had seen too many such situations in the game, so he did not feel any discomfort. From this point, it could be seen how exaggerated the details of the game of Faran were.
After a few words with her father, Belin trotted back to Liang Lidong. "Lord Beta, I'm going to the village head's house now. In our village, the village head's house is the cleanest. If you want to rest here for a while, you can only go there. The other places are too dirty and not very suitable for your identity. "
Liang Lidong nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Belin waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she did not dare to accept his gratitude. Liang Lidong chose to go to the village head's house not because he disliked the dirty homes of ordinary villagers, but because he could see that this village was very poor, maybe so poor that there was not much food to eat. The adult men at the entrance of the village looked dull and sallow, which was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition. Generally speaking, adult men were the backbone of the family. If even they could not eat their fill, it meant that these families were really close to the point of not having enough to eat. If Liang Lidong went to these ordinary people's homes, they would definitely tighten their belts to entertain guests. It was possible that Liang Lidong would eat the ordinary people's food for a few days as two or three meals.
Actually the village chief, generally speaking, is the most affluent family in the village, so going to that kind of family to eat a few meals should probably be without any harm to one's face.
