Oracle of Terra

This allowed him to stay here very comfortably, as if there was no injustice or discrimination in this land at all.
Of course, he knew that this was just an illusion of a comfortable life, as if he didn't know what the infected were, those children who used to be Ursus.
"Mr. Lin."
After Father Lawrence left, a kind-looking young man walked over. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looked like a meek-tempered person.
He is the bishop of this monastery. His name is Yuri. He is an orphan who grew up in Langdon Abbey. He has a pious belief and has won the trust of the younger monks. They will be indulged in many aspects, which is why the monks of Langdon Abbey have some bad reviews from outsiders.
"Bishop Yuri, good afternoon."
"Just call me Yuri, that's what everyone calls me. To be honest, being treated respectfully as the bishop at home is a bit uncomfortable."
"Well, Mr. Yuri, what can I do for you?"
"What did Mr. Lawrence come over to chat with you just now? I think he seems very angry. I hope Mr. Lin will not be offended. Mr. Lawrence is also a straightforward person."
"I didn't have an argument with Mr. Lawrence, it's just..."
After Telles took care of the courtyard and the monastery, Father Lawrence told Bishop Yuri of his hatred of iron.
"Uh... It seems that I misunderstood, sorry, but the teacher is still the same, and I have expectations for everyone, but you must know the situation of Langdon Abbey, Mr. Lin, it is not optimistic, most of my brothers and sisters are out Raising funds and seeking cooperation, the teacher feels that this is also his responsibility, after all he stubbornly believes that the monastery should not be used as a place to sell his faith, and he is unwilling to treat my brothers and sisters as workers of other people’s families.”
"Understandable."
Although in Lateran, it is very rare for a monastery to be in financial crisis, in Telles's opinion, the malt beer here is very delicious, and the tumour milk bread produced is also delicious. It can be said that there is a monastery in Langdon The origin of the special products, and the reason why the bishop in front of him spoiled his brothers and sisters, he thought it should be very simple.
Those monks, girls and teenagers spontaneously went to various places in this land to run for this monastery. Traveling in the land itself is already very difficult. He probably doesn't want his brothers and sisters to return home. Be treated harshly.
As for the temper of the old priest, I am afraid that everyone is very clear about it. Even if he is very strict, he still cares about those young monks and young children.
"Teacher, he is a bit uncomfortable with the current business activities. After all, he was also a member of the Langdon Guard of Lateran Glory in the past. He fought for faith and honor. Mr. Lin, what are you doing for?"
"Me? I want to search for many past things in this land, and help others by the way. It can be regarded as a model for my daughter in my hometown."
"Is Mr. Lin married?"
Yuri was a little surprised, after all Telles looked only in his 20s.
"It's my adopted daughter, and I'm much older than I look. It's really hard to see the aging of the Riboli people, isn't it?"
"That's right, I forgot."
As if remembering that his teacher was also a Liboli man who couldn't tell his age, Yuri could only smile wryly.
"Mr. Lin's daughter, how old is she this year?"
"It's fifteen or sixteen years old. What doesn't match the cold appearance is that it has a wide range of hobbies, and its combat effectiveness is also good. It is much stronger than the children in the monastery."
"That's really surprising. If there is a chance, I still want to meet a daughter who can make Mr. Lin so complacent."
"If there is a chance, I will take her to travel around, but before that, I also have to tour the land to prepare for future travel plans."
"Then I look forward to the day when Mr. Lin becomes an official priest. Speaking of which, have you had lunch?"
"not yet."
"Then let's go to the cafeteria to eat together. I'm hungry too. Mr. Lin, you have taken care of the monastery, and I'm afraid you have exhausted a lot of energy."
"It's not bad, the malt beer after work has a special taste."
Telles showed a somewhat satisfied expression.
I don't know who said that this monastery is more like a nursing home.
207. Sister Xi Dejia
"Brother Yuri! I heard that sister Xi Dejia will be back today!"
"Dog, swallow something when you speak."
Yuri looked helplessly at the child in front of him who was chewing bread while talking to him, but Xi Dejia's news was indeed gratifying.
"I know, wait for sister Xi Dejia to rest in a few days! Then let my sister teach me archery! I must learn to bend the arrow this time!"
"Then work hard."
"Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Lin! Thank you for helping to clean the monastery! Brother Yuri, I'm off to practice!"
"Run slowly, just finished eating, don't be too active."
Bishop Yuri sighed helplessly, but Telles was rather curious.
"Xi Dejia refers to?"
"Oh, Xi Dejia is a monk of Langdon Abbey, to be precise, a nun, but most people in the outside world are called monks. In Terra, where the news is blocked, the Lord's faith cannot spread very far, but there are also people like Xi Dejia. In this way, the nuns who have worked tirelessly for the monastery are running around outside to fight for opportunities for the monastery."
"Hearing what Doug said, this Sister Sidgar should be very good at bows and arrows?"
"Yes, it can be said that among the nuns in Langdon Abbey, Sidney's archery is second to none. Even Mr. Lawrence praised her, but she was a little too...enthusiastic, which led to her not getting much. Great opportunity to help the Abbey."
"Mr. Uri means that she didn't get sponsorship for the monastery?"
"What you said is really straightforward, but it is true. Many of her nuns and sisters have found good sponsorship in other places. Although it does not completely alleviate the current financial crisis of the monastery, at least they can survive this winter. gone."
"Is there no assistance from Rutland Hall?"
Telles remembers that this is also a monastery with a long history in Lateran, and it is also a training institution for excellent combat monks. Is the Lateran Pope Hall just left alone?
"Because we are still working hard now, those old people who are busy confronting the religious reformers probably won't care about the inventory of Langdon Abbey. Rutland now has enough power, and losing Langdon Abbey may be a big deal for them. It doesn't have much of an impact."
“………………….”
This made Telles feel a little helpless, even these idol-worshiping religions cannot avoid this kind of power struggle, obviously this monastery feels so good.
It has to be said that the dictatorship of his time also seemed to have some benefits.
"Haha, don't talk about such depressing topics. You have to greet your family when they return home. Xi Dejia is a very responsible child. If she doesn't find a sponsor who can donate money, she will probably have a sad face. At this time It's my job, I can't let her sigh at home."
"You're pretty good at these things."
"Now that the nun priests who are older than me have left Langdon to work here, I am the only one who can help everyone. I am also very grateful to Mr. Lin. Your presence has also relieved a lot of pressure from the teachers for those children. .”
"I think the old priest doesn't put so much pressure on people."
"When the teacher was young, he participated in the Patriotic War in Lateran. Because of the old disease caused by the confrontation with the Sarkaz people, it has not been completely cured so far, so he focused on nurturing the young. Sometimes there will be some There is no way to be strict, after all, that person... lost everything on the battlefield, but he still survived. If it weren't for his firm belief and those children who kept choosing Langdon Abbey, the teacher might not be able to support this abbey until now. .”
"It seems that this monastery also has its story."
"For me, this monastery is full of good memories, so even if I become a bishop, I still want to work in Langdon Abbey, although the teacher often complains that I can obviously go to a better place."
"Are you showing off to me?"
Telles laughed and teased Yuri, who froze for a moment, then shook his head in a panic.
"No, no, I didn't mean that!"
"I know, you are an excellent person, Yuri, from the fact that everyone endured the hard training without complaining, I think your method is not wrong, but in the eyes of Father Lawrence who has experienced the war , the current laziness does make him a little angry, but he also knows that it is not what it used to be, he loves this monastery and everything here, so let me ask a question, Yuri, if you want to talk about faith and everyone in the monastery If you had to choose one, what would you choose?"
"This is really a strange question. This monastery itself was established because of faith. Even if you need to make a choice, you don't need to choose between faith and your family, right?"
"Just if, how would you choose?"
The expression of the ordinary black-haired young man was a little shadowed under the sunlight, but Yuri didn't care about the illusion that Telles looked scary, but seriously thought about Telles's problem.
"I... I'm afraid I can't make a choice."
"I think so, because for you, you have not faced a choice, but for Father Lawrence, this choice may be decisive to you, his family in the monastery."
"But... Teacher, he has always emphasized belief and tradition. I think a devout believer like him should choose to continue to maintain his belief."
Hearing Yuri's answer, the black-haired Li Boli youth shook his head.
"It's not like that. It's because he emphasizes beliefs and traditions. From a side view, he likes your proof. He doesn't want his students to be workers for nobles and merchants to produce the so-called Langdon Abbey. Because in the eyes of the old priest who has experienced war and loss, the most important thing is not the monastery itself, but the people gathered afterwards, you students who are regarded as family members, what he wants is to let you live Your own life, instead of being bound by the monastery for a lifetime, when you decided to become the Bishop of Langdon, Mr. Lawrence should have been angry, right?"
When Telles said this, Yuri opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"That's true. I chose to return to Langdon Monastery to serve, and the teacher had a fight with me, although I didn't understand why he was so angry in the end."
"This is what a friend of mine said, 'Faith is good, but you can't have enough to eat'. Although it doesn't mean much, but as she said, for priests, the most important thing is to feed you. Even if it's not in Langdon Abbey, as long as you are there, it's home."
"But for me, the monastery is home."
Yuri's expression was a bit bitter. He seemed to understand what Telles wanted to express, but he couldn't fully understand it.
"Forget it, don't talk about such a depressing topic, I still want to meet the number one archer in Langdon Abbey."
"Isn't that what I just said?"
"It's called learning and applying it now, Yuri."
Telles patted him on the shoulder. He still liked this gentle young man very much, so telling him a few things might be of some use to the choices he may or may not encounter in the future.
In the afternoon, Telles looked at the children gathered at the gate of the monastery. It seemed that Sister Sidgar was indeed quite popular.
The small bus that looked a bit worn-out stopped at the gate of the monastery, and then a blond girl in a light battle suit came down from it. She was carrying a heavy combined mechanical bow on her back. The bow made Telles look a little more energetic. Yes, I have to say that the workmanship is really good.
Is this the dejected nun?
"Welcome back, Sid Jia."
"Welcome back! Sister Xi Dejia!"
The children gathered around one after another, and the nun called Xi Dejia also smiled after sighing.
"Well, I'm back, everyone, are you doing well! Yuri, you are the same as before."
"Hehe, I'm a bishop now."
"what?!"
Watching this scene, Telles also nodded slightly. Maybe this Miss Sidgar is much more mature and stable than she looks, but...is she an adult?
Although there is such a thing as a childlike face in the world, this petite nun looks like a minor no matter what, right?
Seemingly aware of Telles' sight, Xi Dejia cast his gaze on Telles.
"Yuri, who is this?"
Because Telles' height stood out from a group of children, and he was a stranger, so Xi Dejia was a little concerned.
"This is Mr. Lin Xinian, from Longmen, who was recommended by a Sakota to come to Langdon Monastery to obtain a battle priest's license."
"Battle Priest...that's really courageous, Mr. Lawrence didn't make things difficult for him, did he?"
"Mr. Lawrence likes this Mr. Lin, and he plans to personally test his level, whether he can take the position of the Lord's agent."
"Teacher himself?"
Hearing what Yuri said, Xi Dejia was also a little surprised. After all, although she retreated to the rear, her teacher was also a veteran of the Lateran Patriotic War. Needless to say his strength, Xi Dejia has never won against this old priest in a competition.
"nature."
"Then let me pay a little homage to this Mr. Lin during the few days of recuperation."
Facing Xi Dejia's admiring gaze, Telles felt a little stressed, but...it didn't seem to be that big.
Although the old priest looked strong, but because of his old illness, maybe it would be easy for him to win?
It can't be an old man, he will be at the level of Mr. Captain Herag, and he is not a magnet for heroes and veterans.
208. Xi Dejia and Lin
Telles's day starts in the morning, and there are no two sisters appearing in his bedding like a ghost movie, but only the warm morning light, the golden wheat field, and the wind blowing from afar.
Lateran is located in the center surrounded by Rem Billiton, Iberia, Victoria, and Letania. Although it is somewhat rare in Ursas, Dayan, and Sargon, in these four countries, Lateran Human monks are highly respected, and Sakota people often help each other with these four countries.
In general, Lateran maintained a relatively balanced position through neutrality, and this balance will not be broken immediately, but even so, Lateran must have the power to protect the country and beliefs, and that It is a gun.
At first, Telles had a very shallow understanding of guns, thinking that it was a Terra version of guns, but after a deeper understanding, he realized that this thing is really a terrible weapon.
A super-high-precision mechanical staff, every bullet fired is made of workmanship and cost, which is inversely proportional to the number of bullets fired.
After hearing Yuri say the price of a box of etched bullets, Telles directly called his boss, the emperor, a local tyrant. After all, the submachine gun in Angel's hand was a barrage of bullets like no money.
After thinking about it, the spell arrows I made for that boy Sasha were all made by picking and searching, saving if possible, but Sasha's super high level of sniping and his improved empty ballista can be regarded as a new type of black cockroach. Sass defense equipment, Telles still remembers that Tallulah deliberately sold the technology to cities around Ursas at high prices. After all, the cost of this thing is low, and the range of the mass-produced version is also controlled at about 1 kilometer. It has strong performance and can replace various special arrows.
Those Sarkaz warlocks taught by Telles can reproduce and mass-produce arrows. The profits Sochi can get in Ursas from selling these items are really amazing. As for the technology leak, this In addition to the long range, the thing is a low-cost urban defense fort. Even if everyone has it, as long as it is not in wartime, no fool will directly rush into the mobile city, and more people will sneak in and destroy it. As for the air defense function, the land's Teles really hasn't seen much aircraft, and he only saw their aircraft when he visited Rhodes Island.
And in the morning, I can see those children running around the monastery with smiles on their faces. I have to say that although the Langdon Abbey is a little loose, it is still an excellent warrior training institution. In this land, if you don’t learn some skills Can't survive either.
