Working Prophet.

Chapter 114 Awake
"But those lizardmen have come out of the swamp now, and you have given them a piece of land to let them thrive on it." Priest Tessa said solemnly.

"That's right, before that, they defeated my guards, slaughtered my subjects everywhere, and even fought all the way to Teacup Castle, and the subjects who died at their hands were all followers of Pithia, if I didn't find Let them stay in a place, and more believers of the goddess will suffer." Miss Rabbit argued.

"Actually, before this, I asked the church and other nobles in the western region for help, but very few people were willing to lend a helping hand. I had no choice but to do so."

The old priest shook his head, "I don't know much about politics, but I can understand your difficulties... But if I remember correctly, those lizardmen originally worshiped an evil god named Sosokus, but now they believe in but that foreign god called Saturday."

"Well, not really... Sosokus was originally an incarnation of Saturday."

A slight displeasure appeared on Priest Tessa's wrinkled face upon hearing the words.

"This kind of lie may be able to deceive those savage and ignorant lizardmen who have lived in the swamp all their lives, but since you are the head of the Arias family and the owner of this territory, you must not be a fool, so why use such words to prevaricate Me, or do you think I'd be as stupid as those lizardmen?"

The girl was a little embarrassed by what she said, and before she could speak, the old priest continued, "Also, I heard that you also gave that foreigner named Merlin the right to form a sect in the green field."

"It's not the green field. To be precise, it's just a small piece of land to the west of the green field. Besides, it's an established fact that those lizard people believe in Saturday. I gave Merlin the right to form a religious order so that he can better restrain those lizard people. .” Miss Rabbit explained patiently.

However, the old priest made her speechless with only one sentence, "But you are still a believer of the goddess."

"Since you are a believer of the goddess, how can you allow other pagans to establish their religious orders in your territory and worship their gods?!"

Miss Rabbit scratched her head, she was not afraid of Priest Tessa.

Although the latter has a high reputation in the western region, especially around Black Rock City, because of his many years of saving lives and healing the wounded.

But as the old priest himself said, she doesn't care much about politics, and it's probably not at the behest of the Silver Moon Church that she came here today to inquire about her crimes.

I feel that the new lord of the green field may have gone astray, and someone needs to stand up and criticize and correct it in time.

Ilea felt guilty because she was told the truth by Priest Tessa.

The girl also found that she had become more and more impious recently, not only allowing Li Yu to establish a sect, but also secretly promising Li Yu to preach in a small area early in the morning.

The point is that she blames the goddess much more than before, and sometimes even has a sense of distrust towards the goddess, thinking that the goddess is useless.

This had never happened before meeting Li Yu. Obviously, when she was studying in the temple, she was full of awe and unconditional love for the goddess.

It has only been a long time, and she has become corrupted to such an extent that she even seriously considered the gains and losses of switching to Saturday some time ago.

If she was left alone, she would really lose the favor of the goddess before long.

Priest Tessa's persuasion was like a basin of ice water, which made Miss Rabbit excited and vigilant at the same time.

The girl said gratefully, "I see. You are right. I did not do well during this period. No wonder there are always various disasters in the territory. This must be a warning from the goddess. Copy and recite the hymn book several times."

The old priest was very satisfied with the young lord's attitude, and his tone and demeanor slowed down a lot, "It's never too late to make up for it. It's not easy for you to realize your mistake so quickly.

"Especially for young people of your age, introspection is an excellent and rare quality. Ilea, as long as you can maintain your devotion to the goddess, restrain your desires, be considerate of your subjects, and show kindness and Be tolerant, you will definitely become an outstanding lord in the future."

"Thank you for your teaching." Miss Rabbit was flattered by the compliment, her ears trembling.

After sending Priest Tessa away, Ilea, as she promised, came to the room where the Arias family kept the books, and pulled out from the shelf the holy book that hadn't been opened since returning to the green field. collection of poems.

Dust off the top.

I found paper and pen again, and carefully copied the hymns inside.

The whole afternoon, until the sunset, the girl just lay on the table like this, her wrists hurt, but her little face was full of radiance.

I feel that the feeling of impetuous anxiety before has disappeared, and my soul seems to have settled down again.

Slightly relieved, and rubbing her wrists again, Ilea took advantage of the rest to eat the dinner brought by the maid.

At her request, today's dinner was made very simple, that is, white bread with a piece of bacon stewed with freshly harvested carrots.

Miss Rabbit decided to lead by example and advocate frugality in the territory, so that when the disaster year comes, more food reserves can be used to help the poor who cannot eat enough.

She also plans to write another letter to the Silver Moon Church, asking them to send some more people to her territory to spread the glory of the goddess, so as to alleviate the pain and panic caused by the previous looting of the Eliminator Lizardmen to ordinary people.

There are also the remnants of the Wetin family, not just Jane, Ilea noticed that many people's health does not seem to be very good, but it is not life-threatening for the time being, but it cannot be left alone.

No matter what, they will be the citizens of the green field from now on, and Miss Rabbit also plans to ask the herbalist in the territory to check and treat them...

Ilea spent a full and busy day in this way.

In the middle of the night, Li Yu arrived as promised, and suddenly appeared in front of her out of nowhere, and the girl had long been accustomed to this, and even nodded to Li Yu to say hello.

Li Yu was carrying a bag of steel tape measures, a spirit level, and a stainless steel trowel and asked Ilea, "Is there anything I can do for you here?"

Miss Rabbit put down the hymn book in her hand and shook her head lightly, "No, nothing happened recently, and I'm not a child anymore, I can't ask you for help whenever I have something, I have to learn to face difficulties by myself."

"Well. If you're okay, I'll go to the Lizardman."
