Chapter 34 Holy Water
"You said the family property is about 120,000 gold coins." Di Changli stared at Brown and said, "Isn't this number watery?"
"Absolutely not." Brown was extremely thoughtful. Hearing that the tone of the leader was not very harsh, his drum-like heart immediately stabilized a lot. He vowed, "If you deceive the leader, you will go to hell after death."
"Okay, you are still a little loyal." Di Changli nodded and said lightly, "Be careful to be measured in the future. Don't be too complacent. If it's too much to be caught, I won't protect you."
Brown was really happy to fall from the sky. When the commander said so, he not only did not mean to pursue punishment, but also did not ask him to donate the money from his own pockets to the temple, but also acquiesced that he could continue to fish. This grace was really great. Brown was moved to tears of happiness. At this moment, he only felt that the leader was thousands of times more kissed than his own parents. Even if he let himself go up the mountain of knives and the sea of fire, he was afraid that he would roll in without hesitation and choked with tears on his face and said, "Your excellency, you will be a fan in this life. Broken bones can't repay the grace of the emperor... Praise the supreme goddess of nature, and it must be a great gift from the goddess of nature to serve the emperor.
If you want people to do their best when doing things for themselves, you naturally have to give them enough benefits. This is a natural rule. Di Changli waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can deal with it first. Come and see me later. I have something to ask you."
After saying that, Di Changli waited to leave. The young servant who failed to break the vase was still trembling and crying silently at this time. He looked quite pitiful. With Brown's character, he would definitely not forgive him easily after that. However, Di Changli didn't want to ask. There are too many poor and tragic people in this world. He can't and can't do anything to save them one by one.
But at this time, the young servant summoned up the courage to shout, "Your Excellency, my brother Us said that you are the most tolerant and kindest envoy he has ever seen. Please help me."
Us? Di Changli remembered that he was the captain of the soldier guarding the city gate. Speaking of which, he should owe him a small favor. If he asked, he would be uneasy. He turned his head and asked, "Are you Captain Us's brother?"
"Yes, Commander." Seeing Di Changli stop to ask, the teenager who had no hope was extremely surprised and nodded in panic.
The teenager's name is Amaro. His parents died in a war since he was a child. He was raised by his older brother, Captain Us. For this brother, Captain Us has not yet married, and spent all his savings a few years ago and sent Amaro to the temple as a priestly apprentice. There are many priestly apprentices in the temple, and they are also hierarchical. Those apprentices with a good family and a lot of money to honor the priests are naturally treated. Needless to say, apprentices like Amaro, who are poor and can't squeeze out oil water, are not very well. It is said that it is a priestly apprentice, but in fact, it is a free chore in the temple, and all the hard and dirty work is done by them. Captain Us once told his brother about his meeting to lead the way. Amaro remembered it in his heart. At this time, he was in great trouble and dared to ask Di Changli for help with a glimmer of hope.
After learning about these situations, Di Changli thought about it and said to Brown, "Is there any problem in arranging a better position to promote him to a formal priest?"
"No problem, please rest assured, humble will definitely be properly arranged." Brown quickly replied and secretly said that Amaro was really a man who fell into a pile of shit. At the beginning, he had endured for more than ten years, and I don't know how much he had suffered to become a formal priest. This boy was fine. If he went to the sky in one step, he still said in person with the words of the commander himself, he would not know how to be blessed in the future.
Looking at the dizzy and unbelievable Amaro, Di Changli sighed silently. The ** power of power and status is indeed endless. A person's joys, sorrows and sorrows of fate can be completely changed in one sentence. No wonder after Gustavo and Fernando were exiled to Phoenix Star, It will gradually get lost and sink, and try their best to fight for power and profit. Di Changli secretly sounded the alarm for himself.
At this time, Brown sent him back to wait and asked eagerly, "What's the matter, my lord?"
Di Changli's expression was a little strange, but he didn't say anything. His eyes were changeable, and there seemed to be something fierce struggle in his heart.
Brown couldn't help but feel strange. After serving Di Changli for so many days, he also roughly figured out the temperament of the leader. No matter what he did, he was very resolute and never procrastinate. The present situation of hesitation has never happened. Thinking that the commander must have encountered something difficult to decide, he did not dare to ask again. He even tried to calm down his breathing and quietly waited for the commander to speak.
After a long time, Di Changli finally made a decision and asked, "Brown, do you know something extracted from plants? If people smoke it, they will have hallucinations and feel very happy at the same time, but if they stop eating after addiction, their body and spirit will be extremely painful, serious and even You will lose your mind and do anything.
Hearing that the commander asked this question, Brown, who was extremely uneasy, immediately put down a big stone in his heart. You know, now the commander is his own heaven. If anything happens to the commander, he can imagine his miserable end with his knees. He laughed and said, "Your excellency, aren't you talking about holy water? There are many in our temple, and we often drink it, and there are still some in the room. However, although I felt comfortable and energetic all over after drinking it, and I felt very uncomfortable after stopping, I had endured it. It's not as serious as you said.
Holy water? Di Changli was very surprised. He asked Brown to go back to his room to get a little to taste, and found that the holy water was indeed a fluid drug, but it was diluted to have a very low toxic content. He frowned and asked, "Where did this holy water come from?"
Brown said, "The holy water is made by the saint and the high priest and specially kept by the bishop of the sacrificial church. It is generally distributed to believers on prayer days and festivals. Usually, some believers need holy water to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases. As long as they donate some money, they will be given extra."
Speaking of this, Brown squeaked his lips and said enviously, "Hey, keeping the holy water is a great beauty. The bishops of the sacrificial church are all rich enough to flow out of oil." Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong and smiled quickly and said, "If the humble can follow the adults, it is the first-class glorious servant of the temple. Even if he can be the archbishop, the humble will never change it. Hey hey... Is the adult going to do something with holy water? How much do you want? If you want, go to the sacrificial hall and get it immediately.
"No, you can do your own thing." Di Changli shook his head, got the information he needed, ignored the inexplicable Brown, and returned to the temple by himself.
Di Changli's mandala juice has almost run out, and there is no drug supply. Even if the drug addiction occurs, it will naturally be quit. However, Di Changli has great concerns. Although after the great victory of the past few days, his position as the general of the temple in Lum City has been consolidated, and his reputation is also very high, which is deeply respected by the military and the people. However, Di Changli knew that the marshal Fernando, who had not met far away from the imperial capital temple, would definitely hate himself more and would do everything to deal with it. It would not be possible to completely quit drug addiction in a short time. Before the situation became safer, Di Changli could not start detoxification, so as to avoid Give people an opportunity. Therefore, he must now find a substitute for Mandala juice.
Mandala juice is a very high concentration of drug. Di Changli is deeply addicted to drugs. Of course, the diluted holy water cannot meet his needs. He has to find Saint Leif or the high priest Diane to solve it.
After thinking about it, Di Changli still decided to find Saint Leif. Diane, the high priest, is good at dancing left and right. Obviously, she is a woman with strong ambition and desire. In addition to the necessary contacts, Di Changli does not want to be too intertwined with her.
Although Di Changli had such a thought, it backfired. The saint and the high priest usually lived in the holy palace of the temple. When he came to find the saint Lev, the high priest Diane happened to be with her.
Seeing Di Changli, Saint Leff and the high priest Diane were also very surprised. Although the temple is wide, everyone lives together after all, but the two sides have never met in another place except when the council is held in the temple. When the high priest Diane saw that Di Changli suddenly came to find Saint Lev, he immediately knew that there must be a reason. After greeting him, he said with a smile, "If there is anything wrong with the commander, I will avoid it first."
Di Changli frowned imperceptably. The woman clearly wanted to know what she was looking for, but she took retreat as the first to avoid it. If she agreed, she would be too traceable and said indifferently, "No, in fact, it's the same for you two."
Hearing his explanation, Diane, the high priest, and Saint Leif, looked at each other. The former's face changed slightly, and the latter's face was covered by a veil. It was clear whether there was any change, but it was obviously quite unexpected.
Naturally, no one knows more about the utility of holy water than the producer. Admittedly, the holy level is used to exorcise evil spirits and disasters for believers, and it can also be used to relieve pain when treating diseases, but on the other side, Diane and Lev are well known. Many believers, especially some rich businessmen and aristocratic believers, had to drink a lot of holy water every day because they took too much, and their dependence on holy water became deeper. Later, ordinary holy water could no longer satisfy them and had to increase the dose and concentration. Of course, this special holy water cannot be obtained from the temple for free, so they did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to ask for the temple to make and supply it, which led to the ruin of many people. After the family went bankrupt, some believers took risks and did everything in order to get the supply of holy water again. Some female believers who were originally daughters and ladies were also willing to sell their bodies in exchange for property to buy holy water. As for those believers who have completely lost the ability to buy holy water, they have strange diseases without exception. They all become skinny, and from time to time, they are possessed by evil spirits and do acts that ordinary people feel extremely horrible.
Because of the negative effect of the holy water, some people have questioned and asked to stop manufacturing, but because the production method of the holy water was taught by the Protos, and the benefits generated for the temple were too great, not only was it not adopted, but even the proposer was almost burned as a heresy by the temple. After death, no one dares to mention it.
These inside stories, as senior clergy, Diane and Leiff, are also very clear. At this time, they can't help but be suspicious when they hear that Di Changli wants a high concentration of holy water.
