Chapter 300 Shuer’s bait

"Oh, Professor Melda, I'm afraid this isn't the first time we've met." Shuer squinted his eyes and smiled, "One thousand four hundred and eighty-seven days ago, the professor and I met once in the big library. That time you stared at I watched it for 480 seconds. 38 One day ago, we met again in the big library. That time you said to me, young man, do you know where the book "Basic Education and Sociology" is? I want to Look up the original Elvish text of Mr. Alexander’s sentence, ‘Basic education is the cornerstone of social development.’ So, today is the third time we have met.”

"Your memory is indeed amazing. In fact, I have always felt that if you join the Temple of Knowledge, you will be the best disseminator of knowledge, just like that child."

"Your Excellency, Professor, you are talking about Sapphire. She will indeed be an excellent communicator. However, your words may tempt me to join the Temple of Knowledge, hahahaha."

"It's not a suspicion, but I really hope that you can join the Temple of Knowledge. At least I have been hoping for the past few years." Professor Melda sighed and said with great regret, "However, since that child got to know you, I often Talk to me about you. From those words, I have given up hope. Your loyalty to Dark Moon is unshakable, and the Dark Moon Temple also needs you. It is impossible for you to join the Temple of Knowledge. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

For a clergyman, these words are actually too much. Publicly persuading a clergyman to change his faith not only questions the clergyman's piety, but also offends the deity behind him. No church can tolerate what others do. Even if someone commits such a bad act, he will not condone his own people to do so, at least not openly.

However, the old professor spoke openly and confidently. In fact, he had just said that these two temples were special cases.

In their eyes, passing on knowledge and spreading wisdom is the responsibility of every Parvatika person, and it is also the only way for Parvatiga to continue to develop. All capable people should join the Temple of Knowledge and the Saint of Wisdom. Temple, do your part for the development of the world.

Therefore, they always spare no effort to lobby those possible targets, hoping that they can join the two temples, even at the risk of being hostile or even attacked, even in the chaotic era of nightmares.

The strange thing is that the gods don't mind too much and let them win over their servants, and there are many examples of successful win-overs.

This is because the two temples and the temples of other gods are not religious institutions in the strict sense. Whether the people who join are pious to the two gods is not the most important, as long as they are pious enough to pass on knowledge and spread wisdom. , you can join two temples without even changing your faith.

Just like a loose educational institution, it will not conflict with the original beliefs, so it is no wonder that the gods don't mind. The only trouble is that it will take up a lot of time, which will inevitably affect the original work in the church.

What Xiure lacks most now is time, and the old professor obviously knows this, so he gave up the original idea of ​​​​getting together, and kept lamenting that it was a pity.

"It seems that you and Saff are very familiar with each other." Shuer was concerned about another thing, "She doesn't dare to talk to anyone."

"I was the one who recommended her to join the Temple of Knowledge. I was also the one who started her yearning for knowledge. You must have investigated this clearly a long time ago?"

"Uh..." Embarrassed, extremely embarrassed, Xiure touched his nose, and even his smile froze.You really can't underestimate the vision of these old people. They can see through their plans with a vicious glance. Fortunately, Melda just said it casually and had no other purpose. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be even more embarrassing.

"That, I mean, you have helped her so much secretly, but she probably doesn't know your identity yet."

"Help her? I didn't help her with anything. It was just two people who like knowledge communicating with each other."

"Oh? Her incident caused such a big fuss, and she was not an official believer in the temple at the time. The Temple of Knowledge actually spared no effort to help her bear the pressure. I don't believe that there is no effort from you behind this."

"This is not helping her, this is helping ourselves." Professor Melda suddenly became angry and cursed angrily, "The more people who are willing to spread knowledge, the better. It is rare that a child as talented as Saff is willing to join This idiot, Lyman Sullivan, actually dares to stop him for his ridiculous desire for control. It is simply a blasphemy against knowledge. If it were not forbidden by the doctrine, I would have mobilized the believers to drive him out of the Emerald Empire."

"Oh, you don't have to be angry. Isn't everything going well now?" Xiuer was startled. For an ordinary person of such an age, it would be troublesome if something went wrong when he was angry. "Actually, there is no need to worry about me." It's a pity that I can't join the Temple of Knowledge. I will help Saff fulfill her dream." "Oh?"

"Hahaha, Safu is a simple fool, but I am not. I will help her realize her dream in the near future." As early as the first time chasing shadows, Safu mentioned her dream to Shuer, It was to open a school to spread knowledge. The two of them never forgot those words at that time, "Actually, this is part of the purpose of coming to the Lion City this time."

"That's good." Professor Melda twirled his beard and nodded. The old man didn't say much because he was waiting. Judging from the experience gained from analyzing Xiure's behavior before, this cunning young man's goal is When he and the god behind him saw him, it was time for him to throw out bait or make demands. The old man was always very patient, so he just waited patiently for Xiure's next temptation.

"Oh, it seems that everyone knows me very well." Xiure has already seen the subtext behind it. This is not a bad thing. Let sincere collaborators think that they know themselves, which is no worse than them thinking that they are mysterious. " Yes, I have the next step plan, or in other words, the next step commitment.”

"Although it is not possible yet, I can promise that in the near future, as long as there is a Dark Moon Chapel, there will be a classroom in the Temple of Knowledge in the chapel to provide reading for local citizens in the evening or early morning. Basic education in literacy.”

The hand twirling his beard suddenly stopped, his half-open eyes closed completely, and the old man fell into silence for a long time.

Xiure is not in a hurry, not at all. This is how fishing is. Now that the bait has been thrown out, all he has to do is wait patiently for the prey to come. As long as the bait is delicious enough, the prey will bite the hook sooner or later, no matter how long it hesitates. of.

So he just smiled, leaving enough time for the old man to think about it, and signaled to Olanna, who was waiting politely, that he could continue.

"This gentleman is a believer in the Traveler's Wind. Master Sailuo is the representative of the Temple of Wind. We can't get away from important matters, so we can only send representatives here. However, Your Excellency Pavin has been authorized by the Temple of Wind and can make decisions on behalf of the temple with full authority."

It looks a bit familiar. I used to extort money at the Sacred Service Center in the City of Roses. No, no, no, I met this priest once during the friendly consultation with those lovely staff, but I didn't communicate with him, and I didn't even know him.Well, the wind god Cyro is not in his plan, but the traveler's wind is the carrier of information and intelligence. Many thieves will believe in him, and he is the patron saint of halflings. He is also included in the plan. It seems that it is A good choice.Well, let’s do some more research and don’t rush into making a decision.

Various thoughts were swirling in Xiure's mind, but on the surface, he nodded calmly, which was completely in line with the attitude that two people should have when they meet for the first time.

"The remaining two are our colleagues from the water god system." After confirming that Shuer had no intention of communicating in depth like the first three, Olanna continued consciously, "Herel, Lord of the Ocean and Storm Your Excellency’s servant, the controller of the eastern temple of the Deep Sea Temple, His Excellency Cardinal Gemir of the Deep Sea Church, the Lord of Snow and Ice, the apostle of the ice goddess Dionyi, Archbishop Persephone.”

Cardinal Gemir of the Ocean is a blue-skinned male sea elf, with muscles all over his body that almost burst his skin. He is more like an orc savage warrior than an elf priest.However, this is the characteristic of sea elves. Unlike their close relatives on land, sea elves in the deep sea often have extremely developed muscles and slender figures. This should be related to the living environment in the ocean.

Seeing Xiu Er looking over, the muscular man with a height of two meters actually showed a very gentle smile, and his voice was also soft: "I have heard of your name for a long time, Your Excellency Xiu Er. I admire his reputation in the Shadow Chaser circle."

Don't admire me, I'm afraid.Thinking of a very special custom of the sea elves, Xiuer trembled subconsciously, smiled awkwardly but politely, and quickly shifted his target to Persephone.

This is an ice fairy that is not common in normal areas. The little fairies with listening wings in many fairy tales are modeled after them.However, they are much larger than the individuals in fairy tales. Well, they are one meter tall, a little shorter than halflings.Although they have wings, they cannot fly normally. The wings are actually just their energy amplifying organs, used for fighting rather than moving.

"Actually, there was a priest who was supposed to participate in the meeting, but I was a little impatient with waiting this morning, so I ran out to go shopping. I probably won't be able to come back for a while, so I didn't prepare her place. After she comes back, I will give you a place. Let me introduce you. However, I think you should have known each other for a long time."

"I'm back." An energetic voice sounded outside the door. The door opened with a bang, and a silver figure broke into the prayer room.
