Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 8 Monster
Half an hour later.

Julie, who was sitting in the carriage with Ye He, was still a little confused and didn't understand at all what happened tonight.

A young priest, a priest who is extremely generous, just to find his own believers, a "cheerful" priest?

Goddess on top!

How could such a good thing happen!

This priest is really not just talking, he really wants to hire herself as a maid in his house.

Goddess on top!

The salary he gave was the same as what they had negotiated before, and he even gave him double the salary because his sister was coming.

Goddess on top!

【Julie Elise】

Ye He looked at the name above Julie's head curiously. It could be said that Jonathan had a good foundation. How could Liu Ying suddenly become a believer in [Yingyue Goddess]?

Oh, the power of money.

Tsk tsk, my Goddess, I won’t cause you to gain the title of “Goddess of Wealth”, right?
[…(Long and unintelligible divine words)…]

[Translation: If you can do it, I can give you everything you want. I will do what I say! 】

The goddess seems very excited?
Ye He scratched his head secretly. Is there no god in charge of wealth and money in this world?If not, it seems that I can really... give it a try?
[…(Long and unintelligible divine words that appeared quickly)…]

[Translation: Do you really have a way?I can make the believers cooperate with you!Say it quickly! 】

Um, don't worry, don't worry, this won't be clear for a while, I'll try the feasibility for a while, and if possible, I will communicate the plan with you.

The goddess did not reply to Ye He, but Ye He knew that the goddess was very concerned about this, because an additional task suddenly appeared in his personal panel:

[Extra commission from the goddess: Please find a way and try your best to let the goddess have additional priesthoods such as "wealth" and "economy". Each time you complete a priesthood, you will be rewarded with 100 million divine power points. 】

100 million...is that the number of points you can get by killing monsters above level "7"?
The most powerful monster Ye He has ever seen is a "5" level monster. This kind of monster is enough to affect the safety of a city or even a larger area.

Based on this calculation, a "6" level monster may be enough to affect the entire Laurent empire. A "7" level monster may not be able to destroy the entire world, right?

Calculated this way, to deal with world-destroying monsters and earn 100 million divine power points, I'm afraid it would be better to find a way to increase the priesthood of the goddess.

It's worth a try...

The carriage quickly returned to Ye He's stronghold in the east of the city, which was the house he had just bought in the afternoon.

After arranging a room for Julie, Ye He was ready to rest. The harvest tonight was not bad. He spent some useless paper and gained two loyal maids, and one from a local gang who could be used as " The Jonathan used by "Informant" will also receive more intelligence support for his future actions. Ye He is quite satisfied with this development speed.

"gentlemen?"

Julie suddenly stopped Ye He who was about to leave.

Ye He turned around and saw Liu Ying with a shy expression on her face. She racked her brains to consider the words, and finally said something to Ye He:
"I...I know that maids in noble families are required to serve their masters...I wonder, do you need them, sir?"

"Haha, but I'm not a noble."

Ye He's words made Julie lower her head in disappointment, feeling that she had gone too far.

However, Ye He came closer again and gently took her into his arms. In Julie's excited eyes, Ye He said poetically in her ear:
"However... if we can bathe in the light of the moon and welcome the morning light together, I still can't refuse."

Julie's eyes suddenly became blurred.

……

Wednesday, August [-]nd, [-]:[-] am.

Ye He, who arrived at the church half an hour early, was still wearing the same priest's robes and holding a simplified version of "Yingyue Scripture" in his hand. He looked neatly dressed, energetic and full of energy.

"team leader."

There was only one person in the office, Sister Diana, who lived in the church. She was sorting out some documents. When Ye He came in, she immediately put down the work at hand and stood up.

Align the index fingers and middle fingers of both hands, place them on the abdomen roughly above the navel, and then lean forward slightly towards Ye He.

This is a church ritual unique to the nuns of the [Moonlight] Church, rather than the [Moonlight] ceremony like Ye He's crossing his forehead across his right shoulder and returning to his heart.

If you don't understand it, go out and look at the statue of [Goddess Ying Yue] in the church outside, and you should be able to understand it, because the statue maintains this movement, overlooking the world.

People often say that the so-called "faith" is a poor imitation and blind following of an idol called "god".

That should be what it means.

After Ye He returned the salute to Sister Diana, he was very rude and uncultivated, and cast his eyes on Sister Diana's abdomen.

Of course, Sister Diana understood that Ye He was paying attention to the monster on her body, which meant he cared about her, rather than staring at her exposed navel.

I don’t know what [Yingyue Goddess] thinks, but the nuns’ attire of the [Moonlight] Church is actually a black navel-baring robe. The nuns’ white and tender skin and navel form a sharp contrast with the black robes, which is particularly attractive. look.

Moreover, is the prismatic opening at the navel exposed too big? What if the body hair is thicker...

[…(Long divine words that appeared quickly)…]

[Translation: What do you know!Dirty people!This is the meaning of conveying the link of life in the maternal line! 】

Hmm, that's great, so, goddess, you dress like this too?
Ye He's inner question immediately choked [Yingyue Goddess].

In the church outside, the statue of [Goddess Ying Yue] is well-dressed.

"I'm fine now. Father, thanks to you, this child has been quiet for a long time."

The distraction of communicating with the goddess seemed to make Ye He look at Sister Diana for too long, so Sister Diana took the initiative to mention her own affairs to Ye He.

However, Ye He immediately heard the title that he was particularly concerned about.

"This kid?"

The young priest slowly approached the nun who found himself speechless and panicked.

"Don't be nervous. I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about these things. It's just that I care more about this kind of title coming from a nun like you."

Ye He found a seat not far in front of Sister Diana and sat down. He also changed into a more comfortable posture, fully displaying his harmless temperament.The inexperienced nun was numbed by the experienced mercenaries and relaxed a little. She pursed her lips and gently touched her abdomen. After considering it for a while, she asked Ye He:
"Father, what do you think...monster is?"

"do not know."

Ye He answered without any hesitation, leaving Sister Diana stunned for a moment.

This answer was somewhat beyond her expectation. If it were someone else in the church, they would definitely quote the scriptures and say that monsters are filth, pure evil, and unclean, and should be eliminated from this world.

But Ye He's answer was "I don't know", and his eyes were very clear, and he had no doubt at all, whether it was about the definition of monsters or whether he still had a firm belief in Sister Diana.

This made Sister Diana feel a little more at ease. What she was most afraid of was Ye He frowning.

"I don't know what monsters are, how they appear, and why they appear. None of these things make sense to me."

Ye He slightly expanded his answer.

There are some things he can't say to Sister Diana. In fact, he only regards monsters as "weirds", the kind of "weirds" that often appeared in the games and animations of Ye He's previous life.

No one has cared about the appearance of "monsters" for a long time. People only know that by beating them and killing them, they can get experience points, gold coins, and other rewards, and that's it.

This is what Ye He thinks. Unless one day, a monster kneels in front of him and begs for mercy, he will face the group of "monsters". Otherwise, they are just "weirds".

"I...this child and I have been getting along for a year."

Sister Diana began to tell her story.

This time of year is not good news for a devil.

Ye He raised his eyebrows slightly. He could probably guess what Sister Diana was going to say next.

"During this year, I came up with some ideas and communicated with this child."

She touched her abdomen again. In Ye He's field of vision, half of a small purple-brown head slowly appeared on the white and flat belly.

Sister Diana gently touched the monster in the air and continued: "This child himself doesn't know how he appeared. He only knows that he must absorb pain to survive and grow up, and he must also be... …abdominal pain.”

Uh-huh, it turns out to be [Falled Infant]?

Through Sister Diana's description, Ye He first confirmed the "kind" of this monster.

Compared with other monsters, [Falled Infants] are indeed special. They must rely on human women to survive, otherwise they will dissipate quickly.

Ye He guessed that maybe they originated from the pain of women in this world during abortion?
Therefore, they will torture all the women they rely on, causing abdominal pain. When the impact is worst, many women will suffer to the point of seeking death, or even cut open their own abdomens alive.

But what Sister Diana said next was completely beyond Ye He's expectation.

"But I discovered that they can't survive only by absorbing pain. Like this, if I take good care of him and show kindness to him, he can also slightly increase his strength!"

"You mean, monsters can not only absorb the malicious emotions of humans, but also the kind emotions?"

"Um...is that so?"

Sister Diana was stunned for a moment by Ye He's summary. How could this priest who just said he didn't know about monsters come up with such insightful words again?

There is a perception in the church in this world that monsters are unknown, but Ye He has come into contact with demon-senders who are not from the church.

Some demon carriers get along fairly well with the demons in their bodies, and actually live quite well.

There are also some demon-seekers who simply use monsters as props, and even hate monsters for various reasons. They also hate monsters and need to rely on monsters to gain strength and fight against other monsters.

In Ye He's own words, that is, just live, what do you need a bicycle?What else is there to live for when you are so tired?

However, Sister Diana's "reflections" still gave Ye He some new understanding of monsters. If Sister Diana had not developed mental illness due to Stockholm syndrome, then the origin of monsters still has a future, which would be more interesting. .

Ye He carefully observed Sister Diana, paying close attention to her eyes. When she looked at the [fallen baby] in her belly, her eyes were calm and gentle as always, and she didn't seem to have any extra emotions.

If it is not Stockholm Syndrome, and if Sister Diana's judgment is correct, then is it possible that there are still monsters in this world that feed on human kindness and emotions?
Is this kind of monster still a "monster"?

Ye He didn't dare to have some thoughts. After all, there was a goddess who was always paying attention to him.

"Well, if you can appease it and make it treat you better, that's a good thing. That's all I need to know."

After Ye He said these words to Sister Diana, he looked towards the door of the office. He had already heard footsteps.

Two seconds later, Cathy, who was brisk in her steps, and Krent, whose steps were a little buoyant, entered the office from the corridor outside.

"Oh! Hello, captain!"

"Well, morning."

The energetic little girl Ye He also likes it very much.

"team leader."

Krent nodded to Ye He and smiled. His face was a little pale and not very healthy, as if the monster in his body had attacked and tortured him, but Ye He didn't see it in his eyes. Instead of feeling "relieved", there is also some inexplicable excitement.

"Captain, your position is here. Of course, I don't mind if you want to switch with me."

Cathy came over with a smile. She pointed to a large desk not far away, and then pointed to her own small seat where Ye He was sitting.

She interrupted Ye He's secret observation of Krent, and Ye He discovered that there were some things that little boys liked placed on the seat where he was sitting.

Was Cathy a tomboy in the past?

"Think beautifully."

Ye He made a casual joke, stood up and returned the seat to Cathy. At the same time, he reached out and rubbed Cathy's head through the newsboy hat.

When his hand touched the hat, for a moment, Ye He felt some uncomfortable slipperiness, but he soon returned to normal touch.

Cathy blinked her eyes. As expected of the captain, her "hair" was calmed down in an instant.

"Yours is... [Drowning Waterweed]?"

"It's [The Hanged Man]!"

Cathy knew that Ye He was asking about her monster. She was similar to Sister Diana and didn't seem to resist the monster in her body, so she told Ye He openly.
