Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 323. 320. Flame Priestess

All the way out of the magic goblin market, Rand was thinking about how to draw enough gold coins to cover all the existing magic goblin stores. A dozen magic goblins need at least 2 gold coins, which is very important for Rand's existing Money flow is a disaster.

"It seems that tomorrow I have to ask how the interest of the Benma Fund is withdrawn. The money from the ancestors must be used to support the development of the family, and it can't just be stolen by Fiat," Lante thought silently.

After visiting the market, Dugan wanted to go home for dinner. Lante was also preparing to go back to the chamber of commerce. Just as he was about to get home, a figure suddenly ran out. Fortunately, Lante was good at riding, so there was no accident.

"Girl, you have to follow the road when you walk!" As a person who crossed in a car accident, Rand has a different understanding of traffic safety.

"Ah, sorry." The female mage was wearing a huge cloak, and she raised the brim of her hat in fright, "It's you!"

The female mage immediately became excited, wanted to speak loudly but dared not, so she asked tentatively, "Do you remember me? Last winter, I was with mage Gandalf, we met!"

"Ah?" Rand didn't quite understand at first, until the female mage mentioned Gandalf, he slowly remembered that it was December 12 last year, when Rand went out to visit his neighbors, he saw Gandalf and A girl escaped, and she even covered the two of them. (24 chapters)
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, follow me." Rand led the female mage to lead his chamber of commerce through the back door, and in Wendy's magic workshop, he even gave the female mage some supplies.

"Thank you, knight," the female mage introduced herself as Tracy Baiyan, who is a minority sect: the flame priest of the Holy Fire Church, "Our sect believes in the sacred flame, and its teachings are pure, fiery, and dedicated. Every member of the sect A priest is both a flame mage and priest!"

Rand heard a similar introduction when another of their priests was arrested, "But why did you separate from Master Gandalf?"

"Of course, many people in the capital are saying that he is the most brutal barbarian in the past 20 years, but he is not bad to the human race." Zhuo Qian nodded, "I also heard that the female magician under his command , keep those girls from going to school, and just draw magic patterns day and night in the magic workshop."

"15, including our bishop," Zhuo Qian introduced, "They were originally imprisoned in the underground prison of the cathedral, but for some unknown reason, they were sent to the black market outside the city since yesterday."

"Ah? Why?"

"The Temple Alliance hunted us down in 720, the Emperor and the Pope's Temple Alliance reform decree," Rant didn't expect that the so-called flame priest in front of him would actually discuss the reform of the church with himself, "the decree stipulated that at that time All the gods in the entire territory of the human empire are enshrined by the Temple Alliance, and the priests and the Holy See of the Temple Alliance are qualified to hunt down and ban heresies."

"The gods don't care?"

"No, even if you rescued them, this is Dragon Tooth City, where do you think you can escape to?" Rand was dumbfounded by Zhuo Qian's persistence.

"Ah, this." Rand didn't expect that the priests in this world were more depraved than the nobles, and he regretted participating in the dispute between the Temple Alliance and the Holy Fire Church for a while.

"Have you ever heard of the lord over there?" This was the first time Rant heard an evaluation of himself from someone who didn't know him, and he was really curious about his reputation outside.

"Very good, but they can't do it!" Zhuo Qian laughed out loud, "You don't know that before the decree was promulgated, the priests of various sects were far more depraved than the knight lords. Many priests relied on being gods behind their backs." , have done too many ridiculous things.”

Looking at Zhuo Qian's pleading eyes, Lante sighed, "How many people are there in your company?"

The priestess realized that she had talked too much, so she got back to business, "In short, we went to the Galloping Horse Plain, so we could be safer, and at worst, go to the local lord and become a fire mage."

"So? Doesn't the Benma Plain count?"

"Isn't that good?" Rand wondered a little.

"There is only a relatively large black market outside the city. People from the Temple Alliance want to sell them as slave traders!" The female mage became more and more anxious as she spoke, "Knight, can you lend me some money, I want to rescue them."

"They will definitely include it, but they will definitely not include the Galloping Horse Plain in the scope of the edict," Zhuo Qian laughed, "because the edict not only includes the status of the Temple Alliance, but also stipulates the status of all priests within the scope." Requirements and standards, according to the decree, priests must recite teachings, worship gods in the morning and evening, be abstinent, and must not harass women and collect property without permission.”

"My companions have been captured by the lackeys of the Temple Alliance. I need to rescue them, but Gandalf thinks that unless the Temple Alliance sets a trap, there is no chance. I don't believe it. I want to try my luck. I have been waiting for my chance!"

"The Goddess of Wealth, why does he care how many wives his priests take? Why does the God of War care who his priests use to buy weapons? Every god has its own priesthood, and the requirements for its priests are also based on Those who come from the priesthood, other things are rarely in charge, only when the sects are unified into the Temple League, the rules are stricter."

"Of course it doesn't count. At that time, the Galloping Horse Kingdom had already been destroyed! After all, you are also a knight of the Royal Capital. Why haven't you learned the history of the Empire and the Temple Alliance?" Zhuo Qian was a little anxious, "According to the content of the edict, the Galloping Horse Kingdom The land where it is located is not included in the scope of the edict, that is, it is within the jurisdiction of the Temple Alliance."

"The Galloping Horse Plain!" But Zhuo Qian was very sure, "The only way to get rid of the pursuit of the Temple Alliance is to go there."

"Which black market?" Rand suddenly became alert when he heard the word black market.

"Wait, there is something wrong with the Temple Alliance. Now that the Benma Plain has been recovered, how could they keep such a large plain out of their control?"

"That's right, hehehe, there are so many female mages, let them draw the magic pattern." Lante added, "It sounds like a real savage!"

"I guess so too." At this moment, Zhuo Qian and Rand reached an agreement.

"However, I want to tell you that it is impossible to rescue your companions by purchasing them," Rand changed the subject, "Think about it, why didn't they capture the heretics and send them to a higher parish instead? Do you want to stay here and sell it?"

Zhuo Qian had never thought about this question before, she stared at Lante with wide eyes, always wanting to refute, but in constant thinking, she realized that someone might really be setting a trap, but she thought about it, and whispered again, "If they want to catch me, why not release a person on the black market? Why are so many people released?"
