A ridiculous night, a ridiculous dream.
The City Lord's wife was mature and alluring, while Shirley's inexperience and gentleness formed a sharp contrast. But no matter who it was, they all brought unparalleled enjoyment to Beta. Her body that was as warm as jade, her moaning breaths, and the snowy mountain that was shaking wave after wave all fascinated Beta, making him unable to extricate himself.
But no matter how beautiful the dream was, there was still a time to wake up. After daybreak, Beta lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all. In his dream, there was only one succubus, which was enough to suck his body dry. Now that there was a Shirley, he felt that his waist was sore, and he did not want to move at all.
More than an hour later than usual, Beta finally climbed out of bed. After casting a Body Fortification spell on himself, Beta finally felt much better.
When he was having breakfast in the backyard of the temple, he met Shirley, who had just returned from outside.
Her face was full of warmth and sweetness. When she saw Beta, she didn't say anything. She just smiled tenderly, full of love and satisfaction.
Beta originally felt a little awkward, but after seeing her smile, he immediately relaxed.
The following days were uneventful. On the fourth day after Sarah took back the creed, she had read it twice. Although the first part of the creed seemed to be quite simple, there were some truths that she could not understand. After thinking hard, she finally thought of asking a specialist, Shirley, the bishop of the Woking Temple.
Since that day, Sarah had become a frequent visitor of the temple. She would come to listen to Shirley's teachings almost every day, and she would often eavesdrop on Beta's teachings. Gradually, she became a believer of the Woking Temple.
Harris was naturally the happiest about his sister becoming a follower of the Woking Temple. He even held a small banquet to celebrate it. Of course, only his family and friends attended the banquet. Although the Harris family had some money, with their status, it was impossible for them to invite those real nobles over.
The next day. As usual, Sarah first went to the church and listened to Shirley's prayers. Then, she went to the school to eavesdrop on Beta's religious comprehension class.
Sarah was a lively girl. She had always been full of energy. After becoming a follower of Woking, she felt that she had gradually become peaceful. It was a kind of stability that came from the soul, and she felt that the world had become more and more clear.
In the past, she only cared about her family and how to make money, but now … Outside and walking on the road, she could feel the chirping of the surrounding sparrows. She could feel their tracks of movement and 'see' the buzzing sound produced when the breeze passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
She had never experienced such an experience before.
Now, as she listened to Beta's teachings, she felt that the world was getting brighter and brighter. Then, she heard the exclamations of the others. Noticing that everyone around him was looking at him, he looked down and was surprised to see that his body was emitting a pale golden light.
"What's going on?" Sarah was a bit panicked. She patted her body up and down. She didn't know why this was happening. However, the people around her didn't seem afraid at all. Instead, they looked envious.
What should I do!
Although Sarah had traveled a lot and had seen a lot, she had never seen anything like this. Just as he was panicking, he saw the teacher in charge of teaching the doctrine class walk up to him.
"Don't be nervous. Close your eyes."
Gentle and steady. His magnetic voice instantly calmed Sarah down. She closed her eyes as told. Then, she felt a big, warm hand press on her head.
Then, the 'darkness' around her disappeared. Although Sarah closed her eyes, she could 'see' the scenery several meters away. However, it was different from what she saw with her eyes. These images were all in black and white.
"You can feel the things around you, right?" the gentle voice asked again.
Sarah nodded.
"Then imagine yourself closing this invisible eye."
Taking a deep breath, Sarah soon returned to the 'darkness', and the weird images in her head were gone.
"Okay. Open your eyes and follow me."
Sarah let out a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened to me?"
The young teacher said, "Congratulations. You've become a professional and a Priest of Goddess Woking."
"A professional?"
"Me?"
Until now, Sarah was still in a daze. She followed behind the young teacher as they walked towards the direction of the Divine Temple.
How did she become a professional all of a sudden?
Beta walked in the lead. Then, he noticed that the girl behind him was a bit slow. He looked back, only to find that the girl was still confused and at a loss. He chuckled to himself.
In many cases, whether or not one could become a professional depended on talent. It was especially so for Priests, who valued their faith and understanding of doctrines. Those who were talented might be able to become a professional in one or two months, and those who were geniuses only needed a few days or a dozen days. It was obvious that the girl Shirley took note of belonged to the latter category.
No wonder Shirley said that she had spirituality.
Although Shirley was almost abandoned by Goddess Woking, she was a divine creature after all and had a deep understanding of Woking's godhood. She could tell whether or not a believer's thoughts were compatible with her god.
However, Beta was an exception. Even a god couldn't see through his thoughts, not to mention Shirley, who was merely a clone of divinity.
Beta took Sarah to the temple.
At this moment, Shirley's second prayer had just ended. She smiled sweetly when she saw Beta. Then, her eyes glittered when she saw Sarah.
She could tell that Sarah had become a Priest.
Running to her, Shirley grabbed Sarah's hand and said happily, "Great! You're finally a Priest. I thought it would take you a few more days."
"You know me?" asked Sarah in a daze.
"Of course I do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you the doctrines the moment you came to the temple," said Shirley proudly, "Now that you're a priest, we'll take care of you. You'll be paid twenty-five silver coins a month! "
"Twenty-five silver coins a month?" Sarah was quite shocked. "Isn't that too much?"
She and her father had traveled with a caravan for several years before they managed to save a few gold coins for their family. Now that she had become a professional, she could earn 25 silver coins every month. As long as she worked for three or four years, she would be able to earn more than her family's savings.
But Sarah was still hesitant. "Can I consider it?"
"Okay, no problem." Shirley smiled in satisfaction.
Then, Sarah went home in a daze. She didn't even know how she arrived.
Her family was all out, and she stayed at home alone, not knowing what to do. She paced back and forth at home. After being confused for a while, she saw the teachings on the table and couldn't help but flip through them. As she read and read, her emotions calmed down.
Not long after, her family returned. When Sarah and the others were all present, she publicly announced that she had become a professional and a Priest.
Looking at her family's dumbfounded expressions, Sarah smiled happily. "Bishop Shirley invited me to join the Woking Temple and promised me twenty-five silver coins a month. But I said I'd consider it. I haven't agreed yet. "
Harris put on an admiring expression. "Wow, Bishop Shirley invited you in person."
As the most beautiful woman in the city, Shirley was almost every man's dream lover. Naturally, Harris was no exception.
Her father, however, was slightly confused. "Twenty-five silver coins a month? That's a lot. As far as I know, the new Priests in other temples only get around five silver coins a month. Daughter, why didn't you agree? "
"Because I want to do business with you, Father," Sarah said solemnly. "I'm the accountant and logistician of the caravan. Tomorrow, I'll learn a few healing spells. If you run into any problems on the way, I'll be able to treat you personally. That way, you can save a lot of money on medical expenses."
Her father chuckled. "Actually, I wanted to explain the situation with caravan a while ago, but I didn't tell you."
"Why?" Shirley asked curiously. "Isn't the caravan your lifeline, Father?"
"My lifeline is you and your brother," her father said with a smile. "I only make money so that you can read and wear well. But Harris is already a professional. His food is free, and he has the support of the Woking Temple. I don't have to worry about him at all. Now that you're a Priest, you can earn twenty-five silver coins a month. I believe that you'll have more money in the future. Since my son and daughter are both successful, why should I still run a caravan? It's exhausting. "
Sarah was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled in relief.
Her father was right. His son and daughter were both successful. Why should he still run around? After working hard for half his life, it was time for him to take a break. It was time for his son and daughter to show their filial piety.
The next day, Sarah went to the shrine to report. She was accompanied by three donkey carts.
Looking at the three carts of flint, Beta found it strange. "Sarah, what's the meaning of this?"
"My family used to run caravans. These three carts of flint are unmarketable and can't be sold, so I'm sending them to the temple." Sarah paused for a moment and gathered her courage to say, "Mr. Beta, I have an idea."
"Speak."
"Although most people in Bronze Drum City are already believers of the Woking Temple," Sarah said. "But there are still a few people who are unwilling to believe in the Woking Temple. Most of them are poor. I want to go there and hold a missionary meeting. I want to spread the news that anyone who attends the meeting will get a free flint. "
Beta smiled slightly. This girl is indeed a talent. The Woking Temple didn't lack this small amount of money. This method could be extended to other places in the future: "Then do as you want. After you determine the time for the preaching meeting, you can Come and tell me, and I will send some people to protect you."
