You call this the god of etiquette?

Chapter 86 Recovery
Martha couldn't remember the name of the god for a while, and decided to ask about it later.

For now, let's continue the conversation.

Not only to learn more about the brother-in-law in front of her who is not familiar with her, but also to keep the table quiet, which is quite intrusive:

"To be honest, Ig, I thought you had a great future before."

"At that time, you were the only one who went hunting alone in the whole Leighton Street."

"Thinking about it, these years have not been easy for you. With your own hard work and hard work, you have achieved what you are today."

After all, she subconsciously looked around the magnificent banquet hall.

After looking at it for a few seconds, he looked away.

Without him, I really dare not take another look at the rectangle that fills the hall.

When she thought about it, her own words were pure nonsense with little nutrition.

Such nonsense was often uttered among the women at the magistrate's banquet in Belstad.

It's not that they can only talk about these unnutritious things.

Instead, many specific topics, such as hobbies, pets, and people you hate, will be discussed in more private salons and banquets.

In order not to offend others inadvertently by speaking inadvertently, maybe it will cause trouble for the development of the husband.

Although Martha did not have any lady friends due to her background as a commoner, she naturally had no private salons to go to.

However, Martha still often attends occasions where the city lord can bring a partner, such as the administrative officials' banquet, which is held regularly.

After going too much, I also habitually say these meaningless words to fill the silence.

According to the usual practice, Iger should say a few words modestly, saying "success also has luck" and so on, and then pretend to mention a few words about his efforts or talents inadvertently, and try not to show off as if he is purposeful .

Unexpectedly, Yige didn't play the cards according to the routine. He frowned slightly and shook his head directly:

"No, I think, what I have now has nothing to do with me."

"Huh? Oh—I see!"

"You want to say that my sister also paid for it?"

Martha consciously caught the point of the matter.

Thinking about it, after I returned to "Talek", I haven't asked about the situation at home yet.

Maybe it was our Drake family that made a fortune first, so that the freak Yige eventually became the upper class figure of the town.

Thinking of this, Martha still had a hint of expectation in her heart.

If so, it's literally a fairy tale coming true.

Married far away to a big city, her husband became a priest.

After returning to my hometown, I found that my hometown has also become a big city, and my family is still prosperous.

How can there be such a wonderful change in life?
Unfortunately, Yige's answer stopped Martha from wanting to applaud her.

"Marie, like me, has only done some trivial work."

"It is the loving, great, and supreme God who has truly bestowed upon us all of this!"

"It can only be a god."

As he spoke, Yige's voice changed from indifference to enthusiasm.

It's like a passive prisoner who has found the meaning of living.

Martha couldn't help but exchanged glances with her husband.

See each other's meaning in each other's eyes:
Yep, running into fanatics.

It's fine to talk about gods in public.

Saying so at such a private dinner.

That can only be fanatical believers.

Jorvik went even further.

Yige is both a fanatical believer and a high-ranking member of the church.

It stands to reason that he should be quite famous.

After all, "Talek" was already a little famous in the town of the Northland.

The development momentum in the past two years has also been good.

It's even a big city now.

There is no reason why a high-level reputation of a church developed in "Talek" is so obscure.

You know, fanatics are best at making big news.

Even the fanatics of the weakest church may cause major events that shake the entire continent.

The reason is actually very simple, because fanatics don't care about their own lives, nor the lives of others.

As for the future development of the church, the relationship with other churches, and other issues are not within their scope of consideration.

For them, as long as they can achieve the "justice" in their hearts, it will be fine.

The "Full Wheat" church that controls "Belstad" can be regarded as a mid-upstream church force even if it is considered within the entire kingdom, but only a few clerics will show obvious fanaticism.

Although the situation of the priests of each big church is different, there is only one thing that is the same.

That is, the number of fanatical believers will definitely not dominate.

There is more than one god in this world!
Even if it is just a god of order, there are dozens of gods.

Zealots are like a double-edged sword. They may be very useful in certain situations, but most of the time they will not be the first choice.

Priests are not like civilians, who are basically locked to the land or their own livelihood for the rest of their lives.

The priests have to go out and deal with other churches for mutual benefit.

Today I need to use your divine arts to do something, so I invite you to come.

You are going to use our magic spell tomorrow, please invite me over.

But if fanatics got involved, things would be hard to say right away.

Don't be too busy to help at that time, but you will have a grudge.

So at the end of the day, basically the fanatics are all set to preach and preach.

It is to talk about the scriptures, give full play to one's own advantages, and make a name for oneself by the way.

As for the practice of the church, don't even try to get involved.

In any case, in a situation like Yige's, it shouldn't be unknown.

Has it only become so frenzied recently?
"I can fully understand what you mean, Yige, and I often feel that the gods have guided my destiny."

"I can't believe where I would be without God."

Jorvik still decided to start from his own identity and pursue an emotional resonance with Yige.

If the other party is a relatively low-key high-level clergyman, then a few words of agreement can be regarded as laying the foundation for a more harmonious conversation between the two parties.

And if the worst happens—

Yige is not only a believer in evil gods.

Still a fanatic of the evil god.

Then at least he can remind the other party that there is a god behind him.

And he, like him, is a good man who worships God.

There should be sympathy between the god-worshipper and the god-worshipper.

Don't fight in the nest.

Yige didn't catch Jorvik's small thoughts, but he could also hear his insincere words.

I sighed silently in my heart.

There are too many ignorant people in this world.

When good things happen, I always feel that my hard work has reaped rewards.

When something bad happens, you have to question why the gods don't protect you.

As everyone knows, everything is under the gaze of the gods.

What you have to do as a servant of the gods is to do your best to fulfill the decrees of the gods.

However, how few people in the world can do this!

Iggy wasn't a lunatic, too, to get mad at failing to meet someone of his kind.

So he smiled at Jovik and nodded, which was a response.

"Excuse me, Priest Yige, may I ask the servants to start serving the dishes?"

At this moment, Jovik and Martha's expressions were moved by a word from the butler who was walking towards the dining table.

It's not that they are hungry and eager to eat, but that their conjecture has been verified——

Yige was indeed a high-ranking clergyman.

"Then let's get started."

Following Yige's instructions, plates containing various pre-dinner fruits and vegetables were brought up.

Fruit wine was also poured into the empty wine glasses in front of everyone.

Then there is the first main meal, which is also a special dish that has become popular in "Talek" in recent years - roasted rabbit with red fruit.

The chef first skewers the fresh moon rabbit meat and hangs it over an open fire for roasting.

When the surface of the rabbit meat is golden brown, remove it and chop it into small pieces.

Then, put it on a plate and drizzle with a sweet and sour jam made from red fruits.

It not only has the smoothness of roasted rabbit meat, but also combines the refreshingness of fruits.

Bring people a multi-level taste experience.

Jorvik hesitated at first to speak.

Although the things looked very tempting, he didn't want to fall into the trap because of his little appetite.

But later I saw that my wife, who was not vigilant enough, was already eating very well.

As the hosts, Yige and Mary were also enjoying the food in front of them normally.

It feels like I am fighting wits with the air.

Following Yige's example, he took out a piece of rabbit meat, dipped some extra jam on the edge of the plate, and put it into his mouth.

The harmonious combination of the crispy texture of the roasted rabbit skin and the taste of jam makes Jorvik unable to stop eating.

It didn't take long to eat a large plate of meat.

He couldn't help but ask:
"Ig, Mary, what kind of meat is this, why does it taste so delicious?"

Yige smiled slightly. The reason why he set up this banquet was to discuss this matter with Jovik.

Jorvik doesn't know the situation here, but he knows the situation of Jorvik, "Full Wheat" and "Belstad" very well:

"Jorvik, what you are eating now is Xiangyue rabbit meat."

"Xiangyue rabbit meat?" Jovik was a little surprised, "I know Xiangyue rabbit skin, but I have never heard of anyone eating Xiangyue rabbit meat."

"I thought it was because Xiangyue Rabbit's meat was not good enough, so no one ate it."

Yige explained patiently with an unexpected expression:

"We "Talek" have always been famous for their furs, especially Xiangyue rabbit fur and gray rabbit fur. "

"When fur production was low, rabbit meat production was naturally low."

"Now the fur production of "Talek" is rising steadily, and our supply of moon rabbit meat and gray rabbit meat is becoming more and more sufficient. "

"Naturally there will be chefs developing recipes around rabbit meat."

"The dish in front of you is our "Talek" specialty, 'Roasted Rabbit with Red Fruit'. "

What Yige didn't say was that although the production of rabbit meat in "Talek" has increased, fresh rabbit meat with high quality meat, especially Xiangyue rabbit meat, is still a good product that can be sold at a high price.

It is also because of his undisputed status in "Talek" that he always has the best and freshest supply of moon rabbit meat.

When Jovik heard Yige's words, his mind began to come alive.

Xiang Yuetu's reputation in the north was already very loud.

It's just that it's all about the reputation of rabbit fur.

Now taste it yourself, the taste of rabbit meat is surprisingly good.

Although Xiangyue Rabbit couldn't live in a warmer place.

But can I bring some moon rabbit meat back to "Belstad"?

Going a step further, can I add another item to the meat trade in "Belstad"?

Generally speaking, specific trifles like this don't need to be bothered by the middle-level and above administrative officials of a city.

But in "Belstad" it's different.

A large amount of food is transited in "Belstad", either into the northern border, or from the northern border.

Plus the city itself produces a wide variety of crops.

It can be said that the core business of "Belstad" revolves around food and food trade.

This time, Jorvik asked his superiors for leave to go to "Talek".

If you can introduce a new excellent ingredient to your city during your "vacation".

No matter how you get it, it can be regarded as a small achievement.

After all, if all the good ingredients excavated in the north want to be sold more and more expensive, they have to be exported to richer southern cities through "Belstad".

The city known as the "Key to the North" must eventually be able to extract tax money from it.

While on vacation, he made meritorious deeds.

Isn't it beautiful?

Jorvik's eyes on Yig suddenly became eager.

Iggy took a sip of fruit wine, passed Martha who was still sipping rabbit meat quickly, and met Jorvik's eyes.

He knew that his plan had succeeded.

When he got the news from the pastor of the Balance Church, he knew that Jovik's visit this time was an opportunity.

Of course, even if Jorvik does not come, the plan to promote Moon Rabbit Meat will still be carried out.

It is nothing more than spending more energy to find the right candidate.

In the past, the use of "Talek" on the moon rabbit was limited to its skin.

Hunters generally use meat directly as backup dry food during hunting.

Of course it doesn't matter when it's a small fight.

But now Xiangyuetu is easy to fight, and there is more meat, how to make good use of this extra meat has naturally become an important issue.

As the actual controller of "Talek", Yige must make plans for all aspects of this city that belongs to the Black Ritual.

After seeing off Jovik and Martha, Mary went back to the nursery to take care of Apelles.

Yige came to the prayer room in the deepest part of the mansion.

This is an empty room.

Only a standard red rectangle is painted on the white wall facing the entrance gate.

Ig knelt facing the rectangle and began the last prayer of the day.

From the night he experienced the divine descent, everything has been going smoothly.

His life got busy.

The power in his hands is also increasing.

Although he didn't understand why the gods wanted him to combine with Mary.

But after Mary agreed, he married her without hesitation and assumed the responsibilities of a husband.

But there is always a void in his heart that cannot be filled.

Because he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or not, and he couldn't be sure whether he could pass the test in the silence of the gods.

The hymn is over.

Yige stared at the red rectangle in front of him, and kowtowed for the last time.

Looked up.

But unexpectedly found that the red color on the rectangle bloomed suddenly!
The bloody light was like his father's benevolent gaze sweeping across his body.

Eagle suddenly stiffened as if hit by an electric current.

Eyes fixed on the glowing rectangle on the wall.

The expression gradually fascinated and awed.

Tears flowed down and slid down his cheeks.

thump—

Yige choked up and knocked his head on the ground again.

A timeless voice from the depths of his soul made his dreams come true:
【I'm proud of you. 】

[My priest. 】

Those gentle words moistened Yig's dry soul.

dong dong dong-

He kowtowed and kowtowed.

Tears flowed.
