"Then won't we be in danger?" Shirley was a little worried. "They have a Legendary Hero, and the demons are generally very strong. If they have enough people, it will be almost impossible for humans to deal with them."
"As I said, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up." Beta smiled nonchalantly. "The first prince already knows about this. Sophie and Emma have already brought the news to their Pope. Soon, all the large human forces will know about this. How they deal with it will be up to them. Those who can sit in a certain position are naturally able to see this future threat. "
Beta chuckled and continued, "As for our Woking Church, we are small in number and weak, so we won't join in the fun. If I have a hundred years to develop, the situation will be different. But the most important thing right now is to find a way to spread the word of our Woking Church. Therefore, we must cultivate talents. " "
Shirley agreed. "Master, your development plan is very good, but what we lack most is time."
"Speaking of time." Beta smiled. "I think the Temple of Light's accountability team should be here soon. After such a long time, they should know that the Temple of Light in Bronze Drum City was destroyed. No matter how much they try to shirk responsibility, they should be here by now. The bigger the Temple, the less efficient it is. In the future, when our Woking Church becomes more powerful, it will be the same. "
Shirley was not interested in this at all. She yawned. "Let's talk about the future in the future. Master, let me help you take care of your sword. My scabbard is ready."
"Go and stay by yourself."
Shirley was becoming more and more open. She often told dirty jokes in front of Beta. Sometimes, she would even dress lightly and seduce her master. She would never get tired of it.
Beta's guess was right. Seven days later, the people from the Temple of Light came.
There was only one visitor, and it was Beta's old friend, Tina.
At this time, a pair of silver wings appeared on Tina's back. She sat across from him and looked at Betta with a smile.
"Long time no see. I'm very happy to see your Vitality so good."
This kind of words shouldn't be said by an enemy. Beta could see every word Tina said. They were all sincere. However, if one thought about it carefully, this matter was very normal. Tina was a good girl in the first place, and Beta not only saved her but also helped her become a Saint Samurai. Such kindness couldn't be repaid even if she devoted herself to him.
"It has indeed been a long time." Beta nodded. "Your strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
At this moment, Tina was already a level-7 Paladin. Her full strength was almost on par with that of Beta, who was a Master.
Of course, these were just a few on the surface. If battle experience and other factors were taken into account, the probability of Tina defeating Beta was less than 1%.
"It's mainly because the Water of Light you found for me worked very well." Tina smiled with a gentle temperament, like an angel who had fallen to the mortal world. "I don't even need to pray too much for my strength to improve steadily."
"That's good. How's your father? "
Tina said with a somewhat envious expression, "Very good. He's ready to get married."
"With Katerina?"
"Who else but her?" Tina smiled very happily. She was truly happy for her two family members. "Father knew that I came to see you, so he asked me to ask you to attend their wedding in twenty-seven days if you have time. If you have time, please attend their wedding in twenty-seven days. "
Beta naturally agreed. "Yes, I'll definitely attend. So, it's time to get down to business, right? "
"What business?" Tina shook her head with a smile. "I'm indeed an investigator and negotiator. But I'm not here to negotiate with the Church of Woking. On the contrary, the bishop knows that we're familiar with each other, so he asked me to come. He's here to apologize to you. "
Upon hearing this, Betta was a little puzzled. If what Tina said was true, then this bishop of the Brilliance Shrine was definitely someone who could endure very well. The more patient a person was, the more terrifying they would be when they burst out.
Betta was silent for a moment, then said, "Then thank your bishop for me."
Tina stood up and said, "Bronze Drum City has changed a lot recently. Can you take a walk with me?"
Betta naturally agreed to suit the guest's wishes.
The two of them left the temple and walked on the flat stone streets of Bronze Drum City. Tina looked at her surroundings with a curious look on her face. She walked through several streets and carefully observed the people here, looking at their clothes and expressions. In the end, she heaved a long sigh. "I can't believe it. This city was only slightly better than Winterwind a year ago, but now, it has the magnificence of a major capital city. I have to say, Mr. Beta, you're truly a genius. "
There was an undisguised sense of attachment in Tina's eyes. "You've transformed this city so much in just a year. He was one of the best among the young nobles of any country. I believe that your family must've spent a lot of time and resources to raise you. "
Naturally, Beta couldn't tell her that he had spent six years in elementary school, six years in middle school, and four years in college. After graduation, he participated in the game and became a lord. He had learned a lot of things that he should and shouldn't have learned. The earthlings had learned much more than the nobles in this world. The only difference was that the nobles had more resources.
The players in the information age, on the other hand, had more intelligence.
Intelligence could be transformed into resources on many occasions. Betta believed that other players might've done better than him if they were here.
So, he didn't think that he had anything to be proud of.
"I don't have a family anymore." Beta shook his head helplessly. It remained to be seen whether or not he could return to Earth. Even if he could, it wouldn't be until many years later.
Tina suddenly felt sorry for Beta. She asked, "Mr. Beta, I've always had a question. Can you answer it?"
"Please do. I'll tell you everything I know."
"Why did you make me a member of the Church of Light?" Tina's eyes were filled with eagerness for knowledge. "Instead of making me a Priest of the Woking Temple."
The question was very important for Tina. Every time she went to sleep, she would think about this problem over and over again. Sometimes, she felt that there was a deeper meaning behind Beta's decision.
Now that she met Beta, she couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.
Beta hesitated for a moment, then stared at the girl in the eyes and said, "Because Paladin is very powerful, I hoped that you could be my combat force, but the plan was canceled for certain reasons."
"Why was it canceled?" There was vague disappointment and grievance in Tina's words. "I'm willing to be your combat force."
Beta heaved a long sigh and didn't say anything.
The two of them walked side by side in silence for a while. After a long time, Tina turned around and said to Beta, "It's getting late. I'm going back. As I said just now, I'm willing to be your combat force. If you need me someday, please tell me. I'll be waiting for you. "
Tina looked at Beta thoughtfully and left.
Beta watched Tina leave the city. It was not until a long time later that he heaved a sigh. There were a lot of people on the street. Beta was a celebrity in Bronze Drum City. Many people recognized him.
However, Beta didn't have a very good reputation in Bronze Drum City. First, he became Bishop Shirley's toy boy. Then, he coerced Deputy Bishop Kati to bite him. When Bishop Shirley learned about it, Bishop Shirley said that it didn't matter. She simply liked Beta who was so lecherous.
When the words came out from the temple, all the men in Bronze Drum City had a "what the f*ck" look on their faces. They really didn't understand what was so good about Beta. He was just handsome, yet Ms. Shirley was so infatuated with him.
Then, there was a lot of gossip. Some people speculated that Beta was particularly good in that aspect, and that Ms. Shirley was poisoned and couldn't live without Beta.
Either that, or Beta controlled Shirley's feelings with a special spell and coerced Ms. Kati.
Katie was quite popular in Bronze Drum City. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Shirley, she was still popular. Many men wanted to marry her.
The male compatriots were extremely dissatisfied with Beta, a 'villain' who monopolized two beauties.
Now that they saw another beautiful girl next to Beta, all kinds of indescribable thoughts popped up in their minds. They tried to guess the relationship between the girl who was suspected to be a Paladin and Beta.
Although most of the men in Bronze Drum City disliked Beta, no one had ever caused him trouble because of it. Although the men cursed him, they didn't know that Beta was a professional after all. It was very easy for him to deal with them.
Beta returned to the temple and was about to take a rest, when Sarah came to him.
She gave a few pieces of paper to Beta and said, "I want to give a lecture in the south of the city. This is my proposal, which contains the annotations of the doctrines that I want to talk about. Also, I want to apply for a cart of flints. After the lecture, I'll give them to the poor people for free."
The three carts of flints in the temple were given by Sarah. Now that she was going to give them away, Beta naturally wouldn't stop her.
"I'll send ten members of the church to ensure your safety." Beta read the proposal and found it reliable. "If we can convert the people at the south gate into Puritan believers, the situation will be much better. Then, we just need to focus on dealing with the nobles. "
Sarah smiled. "I don't think it's difficult at all."
