I Am A Priest In The Otherworld
Chapter 233: (One more 4K words)
In Mrs. Carola's remarks, Gallo keenly captured the three keywords of'topmost','luxury' and'auction'.
These are three words that will never be associated with him.
So he didn't need to think too much, waved his hand repeatedly, and declined:
"Thank you for your kindness, but this kind of occasion is really not suitable for me."
Although he said it euphemistically, his meaning is clear. Isn't the person who is not suitable for auctions the poor?
But Mrs. Carola will be wrong, thinking that he is really not interested in this kind of occasion...
But she was supposed to do her best, and she didn't need to say much, but she persuaded her with patience:
"Aren't there many beautiful girls around you? There are a lot of exquisite and expensive jewelry at the auction, don't you plan to take them to play?"
"Moreover, there will be many aristocrats and aristocrats in attendance. This is a great opportunity to make friends with them. Maybe it will bring you a wonderful and charming encounter?"
Gallo was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. He always felt that this lady had a deep misunderstanding of him, and the direction of the misunderstanding was very strange, making it difficult to explain.
From a bystander's point of view, it is indeed no blame for Mrs. Carola to think too much. Every time she sees Gallo, the girls who follow him are different...
The first time was a noble and elegant girl priest; the second time was a heroic and capable girl sheriff; today, it was this well-behaved and quiet foreign maid.
And each one is very beautiful and cute, gentle and sticky, and it is a top beautiful girl who can definitely be sought after by millions of people outside.
But Gallo’s attitude towards them is not as enthusiastic as he imagined. He seems to be only focusing on his own career and religion?
This often leads to a tragic ending for a story that should be beautiful and happy.
Mrs. Carola had seen too much of this kind of thing in her life, and had heard too much, and Gallo's refusal for the first time was actually in her expectation.
So out of admiration for Gallo, she reminded me a little bit more with an elderly mentality.
Of course, she did not say anything more. She changed hands and handed Gallo a booklet.
That is the catalog of the auctions.
In the middle of the booklet, there are two beautiful invitation cards, which are made of black matte paper, and the surface is also engraved with exquisite lace. It looks very noble, not something that can be easily obtained.
"Why go back and discuss with the girls, maybe they will be interested?"
Mrs. Carola finally said, and at the same time she said silently in her heart:
I hope this young and handsome guy will not let down those beautiful girls.
It seems that she is not worried about Gallo's financial resources at all...
Even to this day, I feel that Gallo is willing to help him make a barrier because of Sir Donald's face.
Although Gallo was dressed relatively plainly on the surface, and did not look like a rich man at all, his real luxury was not in himself, but in the beautiful maid behind him.
Others may not realize what an orc maid means, but Mrs. Carola, who is in the upper class, knows very well...
Although orcs are not that rare in the City of Innocence, they are still relatively rare in general. After all, the colony of orcs is too far from the empire.
Orcs are very rare, and such a beautiful and lovely orc girl must cherish even more, so a beautiful orc maid is naturally a symbol of identity, status, and financial resources!
This is low-key luxury, which can only be possessed and enjoyed by people with real taste and heritage!
So in the eyes of Mrs. Carola, Gallo must be very, very rich, I am afraid that he is not inferior to himself. The simple teaching gown on his body and the simple necklace on his neck should not be ordinary...
As for Gallo's second invitation to Mrs. Carola, although he still has no interest in the auction, he can't refuse the benefactor's kindness in person twice, right? That's too rude...
Finally he took the pamphlet and replied:
"Thank you for your kindness, I will go if I am free later."
That's how he said it, but he also thought about his excuses by then.
At that time, he said that he was busy arranging the enchantment and couldn't get away. I believe Mrs. Carola would not say anything.
He really doesn't think this auction will have any meaning, is he still daring to put religious sacred objects and lost divine magic books on the market?
Apart from these, he really has no interest in other things.
The two parties exchanged a few more casual greetings, and Gallo left the mansion on the grounds of preparing materials.
When he left, he had a cheque worth 30,000 gold coins in his arms.
This is the material payment prepaid by Mrs. Carola and Gallo's 30% deposit.
After the enchantment is completed, the remaining reward will be made up over there.
So don't look at the check as just a thin piece of paper in his pocket, but it makes him feel heavy.
As soon as Gallo and Amia walked out of the mansion, Amia couldn't wait to put her little hand into Gallo's palm.
It looks like I have endured it for a long time...
"Ahem, have you been around here too? Why do you keep holding hands like a child?"
Gallo asked dubiously.
Amia did not answer, but stared at him silently, her cyan eyes, as if to reflect Gallo's shadow in.
"It seems that you are probably afraid, right? With this fragile body, you don't have the strong and powerful sense of security that you used to have? That's why you have to hold me all the time?"
"Why do you think you are?"
Gallo said helplessly, and took Amia into the donkey cart and drove towards nearby Yin.
After taking out the money, he began to stroll around the alchemy workshop in the city.
In recent days, various shops in the city have also reopened one after another. Among them, the business of the alchemy workshop is the most prosperous, and many of the things produced in it are urgently needed materials for the reconstruction project.
Gallo also needs a lot of materials to make the enchantment, and many of them are expensive and difficult to buy. He finally spent almost a whole day visiting all the alchemy workshops in the city before reluctantly. I bought most of it.
Fortunately, the space in his sleeves is large enough, otherwise the donkey cart would not fit at all.
He went around all the alchemy workshops in the city. The bosses and shopkeepers he met were almost all middle-aged men. He didn't meet the cute and beautiful girl bosses, but they were all pretty reliable, and they sold a wide range of materials. , There are no defective products, and the price increase is within a reasonable range.
Maybe it's because the city owner has adopted strong supervision measures?
Some of the missing goods are in short supply, and orders have been placed, and the workshop will send them to him one after another after the goods arrive.
The process of purchasing the materials went well. Although it took a lot of time, it was a very pleasant experience overall.
It is the various eyes that Amia attracted that makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Being held by it all the time is a bit inconvenient...
But what makes people more happy is that the city is gradually recovering.
Gallo wandered around the city, the reconstruction work was progressing in full swing, orderly, and brand new houses and streets were gradually taking shape.
Most of the homeless have been sheltered and resettled. Refugees are no longer visible on the streets. Public security has returned to normal levels. Residents can already be seen hanging out on the streets. I believe Mrs. Carola’s previous experience will not be repeated. Repeat.
Moreover, no cultists were found on the street, which made Gallo feel gratified, but also a little regretful.
But in any case, the City of Innocence is rapidly recovering, and I believe it will soon return to its former prosperity and stability.
This made Gallo feel that his efforts were not in vain.
But when he finally calculated it, he found that this big purchase cost exactly 23333 gold...
A lot more expensive than he previously estimated...
But the gold master himself didn't care, and Gallo certainly wouldn't feel sorry for the rich woman.
But it can also be seen that the alchemy industry is indeed very profitable, and the output is all real money.
Much better than copper smelting, I don’t know what copper smelting can produce?
At the same time, this is the first time Gallo has spent money so freely.
Is this how the rich feel? Loved love...
How nice if I had money?
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
However, he was also deeply aware of how expensive a barrier is. This gold coin burns faster than paper...
He originally planned to arrange a set of higher quality and better performance barriers on the underground library to protect the safety of the library.
There is the most important place in the sect except for the goddess statue, so it must be guarded closely.
But now it seems that the funding is still far behind. With his current wealth, he really can't afford to burn...
Sure enough, money is always too little when you use it, you still have to work hard to make money.
So after returning home in the evening, Gallo just ate dinner hastily, and rushed to the basement of the villa to deal with the newly purchased materials. He didn't even care about exercising or playing with Lilian Luo.
The old bishop also went to help, while Amia was in charge of tidying up the table, like a real maid.
After the materials in the alchemy workshop are bought, they cannot be used directly, and they must be processed before they can be used on the enchantment.
For example, what Gallo wants to set up is the enchantment of divine art. You have to use divine art to repeatedly wash these materials as in the previous practice of blessing to change some of the characteristics of the materials and give them a sacred atmosphere.
This step, called ‘sanctification’, does not have much technical content in itself, but is a laborious and time-consuming task.
Humans have limits, and the power of belief in the body also has limits. To improve the efficiency of sanctification, more manpower is needed.
Like the materials used by the three major orthodox churches to repair the wall of sighs, they gathered more than 300 pastors and worked hard day and night.
Therefore, the large-scale enchantment, whether it is the rigid requirements of financial and human resources, or technical skills, is not a small sect.
Even the medium-scale enchantment that Gallo wants to set up, if estimated according to common sense, it would take several months for only one person to consecrate.
And the key steps, such as the sanctification of energy stones, energy crystals, these enchantment energy sources, require more time.
"Huh... almost? It's time to rest..."
The old bishop wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, then looked at the total darkness of the sky, and proposed.
Gallo nodded. He was shopping outside for a day today, and he went home to deal with materials all the time. He was tired and sleepy because of his body.
"How far is it?"
The old bishop asked again.
With such a large amount of work, one must be busy all night.
Gallo looked around the basement, roughly estimated the current progress, and replied:
"It's not efficient. I only completed about one-fifth in one night. At this rate, it will take another five days. Today, Tuesday, or within this week, it may not be finished."
"Five days?!"
The old bishop's eyes widened when he heard it, and he looked down at the material that almost covered the basement floor. Some didn't know how to complain...
The same workload, even if it is handed over to a large sect such as Shenguang Education with sufficient staff, it will take about a week?
The production capacity of my own sect is similar to that of the three major orthodox churches?
Are we also a big sect?
The old bishop sighed silently, and he knew that this efficiency had little to do with him.
I'm just an ordinary pastor. Friends on the road can appreciate it and gave me the title of saint, but I don't have any good ways to deal with sanctification. I just take it step by step.
It's all due to Gallo...
This kid is more than just making me proud, he has grown into a existence I must look up to...
The protagonist in the small talkbook is not so exaggerated. Then, how will the story of the brother be compiled?
While Gallo saw the old bishop's eyebrows contemplatively, thinking that he was disgusting that his efficiency was too slow and his work was too hard, so he said quickly:
"You are getting older, don't force yourself, and don't do this in the future, let me see if I can ask Dadao for help."
"Oh...Although our sect is a big sect, there are too few people! But Lilianluo is still sleeping..."
He sighed with emotion in a low voice, then cast his gaze on the little milk cats who were floating around, trying hard to get rid of the cute little milk cats.
Today, he was busy outside for a day. He went home and was anxious to deal with the materials. He didn't play with the little milk cats. Now when he was free for a while, they rushed over to act like a baby and wanted Gallo to play with him.
"Hey, I know how to play, when will you grow up a little bit, can you help?"
Gallo said, helplessly grabbing the two small milk cats, leaning to his face and rubbing hard.
But rubbing against him, he found that his last sentence was not quite right, and the little milk cats are still growing up?
It's just that the head has not changed at all, it is still the size of a slap, and the limbs are short; the teeth and claws are not full, but they are still soft; even the tail is still short...
Where they grew up, is actually a cheek clapper? The face becomes rounder and cuter...
Don't grow up, start cheeks?
What is this weird evolutionary route?
