goddess of revolution

Chapter 9 The true meaning of the thorns of the soul

"Sir, what is being repaired outside the castle?"

Sebadian entered the castle hall, saw Li Qihao sitting upright, he was relieved, and asked about the abnormality he saw.

"Sebadian, it's just in time for you to come..."

Li Qi yawned and greeted: "This is Tarrence, the priest of the Scarlet Lady, and the temple of the Scarlet Lady is being built outside."

The old man standing next to Li Qi saluted the butler. He looked like a member of the church, with a solemn and elegant posture. The butler was photographed and quickly returned a deep bow.

Lady Red?Temple?
Only then did the housekeeper come to his senses, what happened in the territory?

"It's like this, Sebadian, I was favored by the goddess and became the patron of the goddess. There is also a way to solve that debt."

The situation has greatly improved. Although Li Qi has not slept all night, he is still full of energy.

Last night, Tarrence offered him three strategies. In Li Qi's view, these three strategies are simply right for Longzhong, and he is indeed a former high priest who has a deep understanding of the church and the nobility.

The first is to delay the title of king... no, delay the title of pope.

Fenny's saintly form is enough to prove that the red lady is a good god, and the church is naturally orthodox, but it doesn't mean there are no troubles.

In order to establish momentum and frighten Xiaoxiao, any church will not rashly expose the center before it has enough strength.Li Qi had better hide his identity as the "first patron", that is, the pope, and only act as a "patron".The temple built is naturally not the Cardinal Cathedral, but an ordinary branch temple.

The second is to accumulate food widely, that is, to absorb believers, develop priests, and strengthen the church.

This is what it should mean and what the goddess wants.Li Qi will declare to the outside world that he has believed in Lady Scarlet, and has dedicated his family wealth and territory to the church.

The Viscount Pryor is under the rule of the kingdom, so it is impossible to just transfer it to the church, and the king is not a fool, he will allow Li Qi to use this method to evade debts.Li Qi was just showing off, using it as a bargaining chip with creditors.

Compared with the secular status of nobles, the church is the resource that Li Qi can rely on.

In the world of Finn, the church, like the mage's tower, is an incubator of extraordinary power.

Priests with extraordinary powers can bring huge benefits, and just healing services can offset a lot of debts.

Tarrence said that holy water containing divine power is also a commodity, and like potions, it is a necessity for mercenaries, adventurers, nobles, and rich people.Of course, the value depends on whether the divine power feature is popular. Lady of Pain's holy water can't find a market, and no one likes the taste of stomach bleeding.

The third is to build a high wall, but this wall is not a real wall, but a belief.

Collect the gods' artifacts as soon as possible and improve the teachings, so that the faith will be higher and the priests will have a higher level.

This one is just a direction, now Li Qi can only lay the foundation first, and then think of a way when he has more energy.

Li Qi told the butler the embellished story. Sebadian's mind had been twisted a lot last night, and now he couldn't move anymore: "Goddess? Saint? Isn't she a witch?"

"Fini!"

Li Qi greeted the little girl who had just finished eating a chicken leg and was drinking milk on the dining table.

"Okay... Hiccup..."

The little girl covered her mouth in embarrassment, and came to Sebadian's body, her face wrinkled, and she began to brew emotions.

Seeing her sad expression, the butler felt a little nervous, and subconsciously took a step back.

Li Qi rubbed his forehead: "Silly girl, just use the healing technique."

"That's right, you'll be so full you won't be able to cry."

Fini stuck out her tongue and stretched out her palm to the butler.

A stream of soft white light gushed out and poured into the butler's body.

The butler screamed and rolled on the ground.

Li Qi, Tarrence, and Fei Ni were all stunned. What's going on?
"Y-sorry! I screwed up again!"

Fei Ni burst into tears, she wanted to prove herself too much, she tried too hard just now.

"It's okay! I'm fine! Really..."

The butler raised his hand and shouted, then couldn't close his mouth.

The wings of soft white light are stretched, and the crown of thorns is flowing, which is completely like a goddess descending to earth.

"Just now, my heart felt as if I had been pricked by a bunch of thorns. It hurt so much, but I felt comfortable right away."

After calming down, the housekeeper talked about his experience: "I feel much better, my mind is very clear, and even..."

He looked at Li Qi, and he even felt his deep pity for Li Qi just now.

mercy?Is this the attitude a butler should have towards his master?

"It is indeed a saint, not a witch, but master, my mind is very messy, please allow me to be quiet first."

The butler felt that his heart had never been so clear as it is now, but too many thoughts spewed out of his head, and his mind was full of flames.

"Okay, Sebadian, go get some rest."

Li Qi was also a little guilty. After the housekeeper left, he inquired carefully about what happened to Fenny just now, and then asked Tarrence: "What's going on?"

Tarrence is a practical school: "Finnie, it doesn't matter if you use the healing technique on me like just now, you can use all your strength."

The light flashed, and the old man rolled on the ground.

"Oh, it's so comfortable!"

After a while, Tarrence got up and rubbed his chest with a long sigh.

"Finnie doesn't understand the use of divine arts. What she used just now was not healing, but pure divine power."

Tarrence said with a twinkle in his eyes: "The thorns in the soul are the unique characteristics of divine power of the goddess. That kind of pain can make people more awake. Is this the true meaning of pain?"

As expected of a former high priest...

Fini pointed her finger at the side: "Then how can I use magic?"

"I have some doubts about whether you, Fei Ni, are a goddess descended into the world. Even if you are a saint, you can only use fixed magic spells. There is no way to cast aside the magic spells and directly use divine power."

Tarrence looked at Fenny with strange eyes: "Or maybe the saintesses a few epochs ago were like this? Well...Master Viscount, you definitely can't do it."

Li Qi was trying to imitate Fei Ni, trying to output "pure divine power" to Talance, but it turned out to be pure healing.

At that moment, Li Qi felt a little disappointed. He, the real pope of the goddess of revolution, couldn't use pure divine power like Fei Ni.

Thinking about it again, Fini was originally a goddess lingering in the world, and his boss registered a divine book in the world of Fein because of Fini's painful priesthood. How could he be compared with Fini, a real goddess.

Although he figured it out, Li Qi was very upset with Tarrence's contemptuous smile, and he threw a "spiritual thorn" at him.Based on the divine power consumed, it should be no problem for him to throw twenty or thirty a day.

The old man rolled on the ground.

Li Qi then asked Fenny to treat Tarrence as a test subject, and the old man kept bouncing on the ground like a hip-hop dancer.

"Sure enough, thinking about curing injuries and diseases is a healing technique, and thinking about making people sober is a thorn in the mind."

The principle turned out to be so simple, all Fini had to do was continue to exercise her control.

"Also..."

"Grandpa, you're drooling!"

The old headache became addicted and became demanding.He felt that by experiencing the divine power of the goddess, he could gain faith and formally join the goddess.

Just as there was a commotion, Sardar timidly rubbed against the door and entered the hall: "Master, those untouchables outside are making a commotion!"

Li Qi had heard it a long time ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was the noise of the townspeople.

Yesterday, when Fenny revealed the truth behind the Virgin, Li Qi took advantage of the heat and announced that he would build a temple on the ridge near the castle.As long as the townspeople contribute building materials and physical strength, they can enjoy one free treatment, and subsequent treatment and blessings will also be discounted.

In such a remote and dilapidated place in the Viscounty Land, it is a great benefit for the townspeople to have a temple under the care of the clergy.Started stacking materials and digging foundations early this morning.

"There are a lot of nearby farmers, and they want to see the Holy Maiden. The humble mud legs! Is the Holy Maiden something they can see if they want to!?"

Sardar said angrily: "I'm just telling the young master, there will be a lot of noise about driving people away later."

I have to find time to renovate this stinky stone soaked in the cesspit of aristocratic thinking...

"The holy light of the goddess shines everywhere, regardless of high or low, regardless of origin."

Li Qi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we should let them meet."

………………

At the gate of the castle, hundreds of people were pushing and shouting, shouting and clamoring.The guards formed a human wall and blocked the door, driving them away with shields and unsheathed swords, but the crowd lingered like flies around fresh meat.

"Master Viscount is out!"

"Saint! That's the saint!"

"Saint, have mercy, give me a dried fish and a barley cake!"

Li Qi took Fei Ni and Tarrence to the door, and what he saw was a group of humans whose faces and clothes were not much better than zombies, most of them were farmers or serfs nearby.

They were generally hungry and short, with dull expressions, and a faint heat flashed in their cloudy eyes.

That kind of Remang Li Qi is very familiar, he has seen it many times in his previous life, including himself sometimes being dominated by that thing, and involuntarily gathered in the crowd, forming a zombie group in a certain sociological sense.

He was [-]% sure that in his previous life, after he was crushed into potstickers by a truck, no matter how tragic the scene was, a group of people would gather around him, looking at his corpse with such enthusiasm, pointing and chattering.

Numbness, indifference, staying out of things, making noise at the opportunity, watching the excitement is not a big deal.Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, it would be even better if I could pick up a few apples... Onlookers.

Li Qi raised his voice and said: "The saint will not turn into dried fish and wheat cakes, she will only cure diseases and save people."

"I'm not sick, sir!"

"It's just hunger, master, and the saint, please pity the poor little man."

"It's cold, master, let the saint give me a warm hug!"

The townspeople stretched out their hands and shouted, vaguely like a scene in a movie where a group of zombies picks up the protagonist.

"No, you are sick! You are all sick!"

Li Qixin said that this is a great opportunity. Whether he can gather fans on a large scale... er, attracting followers depends on whether he can take this step forward.

"That green-haired boy, let him in!"

He ordered the guards to let a person in and asked, "What's your name?"

The other party was about the same age as Li Qi, and looked at Fei Ni blankly, as if wondering how this little girl like a doll could be a saint.

The guard knocked him on the head with the hilt of his sword: "The master asked you something!"

"Bugloss, Bugloss--Stan, sir."

The green-haired man realized that there was still the Viscount in front of him, so he bent his knees skillfully, knelt on the ground and said.

This name is not weird, there are people called shit, untouchables.

Li Qi said to Fei Ni: "Give this Stan a heart thorn, be tough..."
