Before ascending to God, be a good lord

In the small restaurant, facing the question of the demigod priest Saint Peter, the eldest disciple of the God Emperor, Klein, gave a direct answer.

But what Lant didn't expect was that instead of being furious, the demigod priest breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That's good. Since Tideman personally admitted it, then our Temple Alliance will have no problem."

"However, Your Majesty Lant, I still want to suggest that you, like other human gods, hand over your belief in fairies to the management of the Temple Alliance in the future,"

"what?"

Seeing that Lant was a little puzzled, St. Peter explained: "In the past, all your believers were outside the empire. Even if you had a great spirit of faith and had believers in the Galloping Horse Plains and Hindu Kernel, however, In terms of quantity, your number of believers in the empire will only be thousands of times greater in the future.”

What Lant didn't expect was that the demigod priest in front of him was very patient with him, and he didn't have the arrogance of demigods towards high-level people at all.

"The biggest difference between human gods and ancient gods, dragon gods, and earth spirits is that the priesthood is extremely important to human gods. Therefore, since the city-state era, gods have often had their priesthoods stolen by other beings, and even their divine bodies have been deprived of their bodies. .”

As Saint Peter spoke, he also used water elements to draw various patterns on the table, as if they were historical illustrations.

"Our Temple Alliance is to watch over their believers in the empire for the gods, to prevent these believers from being seduced by cults and transferring their faith to some unknown existence."

"If you are willing to hand over your faith fairies in the empire to our unified management, in the future the large churches and temples of the Temple Alliance in various places will also enshrine your divine emblem and bring you some light believers.

In addition, if you are willing to worship other gods from the Temple Alliance in your Magic Forge Temple, we can also send intermediate-level or higher priests to help you take care of the temple. "

The demigod priest's speech made Lant stunned for a moment. Before he dealt with the Temple Alliance, he always regarded it as an opponent. Even that time he entered the Pope's kingdom, which worsened his view of the entire kingdom. The impression of the Temple Alliance.

As an alliance of clergy, Lant always felt that such a polytheistic bureaucracy was the enemy and friend of the secular nobles. However, today, from the perspective of God, he found that the Temple Alliance is an institution that serves God. Those previous negative judgments about the Temple Alliance have now become positive.

For the gods, the Temple Alliance is simply a trusteeship service organization. You can entrust your believers, belief fairies and religious buildings to them, let them manage them uniformly, and then give the beliefs to the corresponding gods, and these Temple Alliance It collects alms from believers, rather than cutting off faith. It is almost a free service institution for God.

The Temple Alliance's low profile made Rant feel a little embarrassed: "I only have one Great Fairy of Faith now. She is of great significance to me, and I'm afraid I can't leave it to you. However, I have the Magic Furnace Saint in the empire. You can indeed find a place in the temple to erect statues and emblems of other gods.”

"Great, I knew your majesty would understand the significance of the Temple Alliance to the gods!" The demigod priest said with a smile, "Then I won't disturb your majesty!"

When only the two legends of Lant and the Tower of Purity were left in the restaurant, Ben Call was the first to speak.

"Lant, you understand that once a magic furnace is installed near a coastal area, the Poseidon family will definitely try their best to detect your secrets, and will also use this park to create magic weapons for them." "Of course, regarding this matter, I have already told Xiu Ming and Zolaika," Lant nodded, "but I also explained to them that as the favored one of His Majesty Willy, the Magic Network adopts a neutral attitude towards the war in the ocean, and they also know this. Yes, please rest assured, I have specially sent experts to stop the nobles from the southeast from infiltrating to the west."

When Lant came to this world, what he felt most deeply was the intricate relationships between allies, relatives, enemies, partners, and competitors. In the more than a year since he arrived, he has seen too many opponents suddenly become allies or business partners. , and also had conflicts and conflicts with many allies and relatives.

Therefore, he has learned well now and will never take a direct stand in the confrontation between the sea beast and the mermaid. Instead, he will discuss the matter and deal with it one by one.

"Hmph, I think you think of the Poseidon family too simply," Klein sneered and said, "You can pretend to be neutral, but the Poseidon family will send all their forces to investigate your territory. That guy named Tony has already Run to Siam!"

"Of course, I already know this, but I'm also thinking of ways to offset them," Lanter said with a smile. "You two are welcome to find time to go to my factory and see how I produce weapons for the Sea Beast Tribe. Let’s see if there is any risk of leakage.”

"Did you really make all those weapons by yourself?"

Klein had noticed that the Sea Beast Tribe had equipped a batch of magic pattern weapons and armor overnight. At that time, he was convinced that these weapons were manufactured in the factory near Yeqi City.

However, Ben Call recently visited Sophia and Wendy and found that these two masters of magic patterns, one was busy working on the magic pattern board assembly line, and the other was busy transforming the magic patterns for the Imperial Capital Magic Furnace, and had no energy to mass-produce weapons. .

Even though they knew that Lant was as good as Wendy in magic, it was still hard for the two legendary magicians to believe that Lant had reached the point of making dozens of magic-patterned weapons.

"Of course they are all made by me. You have also visited that factory. It is enough for me to produce in batches," Lant said with a smile. "Otherwise, why do you think I am reluctant to part with the shares in my own workshop? I am really afraid that my factory will also fall into decline." To the level of those manual workshops in the Department of Finance.”

"Haha, if you don't tell me, it's hard for me to mention it." Speaking of the Finance Department, Klein couldn't help it. "You have been offending the Finance Department recently, even if you are the assistant director of the Finance Department, even if you have I suggest you be careful about the identity of the magic furnace casters. Behind them are the Imperial Capital Magic School and the bureaucracy of the entire empire."

"Your Excellency, the reason why I want to limit the authority of the Department of Finance is really for the sake of the empire!"

Lant is very clear about the current financial situation of the empire because many factions are closely focused on petty profits.

For example, those trap contracts that seem dazzling, in fact, if you look closely, you will see that through layers of guarantees, the expected future benefits of the contract are constantly divided up.

Each family only wants to prevent its own losses. No faction can concentrate resources to develop new magic and territory. No matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot last long.
