"But those lizard people have now come out of the swamp, and you have given them a piece of land to thrive on." Priest Tessa said solemnly.
"Yes, before that they defeated my guards and slaughtered my subjects everywhere, even all the way to Teacup Castle. The subjects who died in their hands were all Pisiya's believers. If I don't find
If they have a place to stay well, more believers of the goddess will suffer." Miss Rabbit defended.
"Actually, before this, I asked for help from the church and other nobles in the Western Region, but there were very few people willing to lend a helping hand. I had no choice but to do so."
The old priest shook his head, "I don't know much about politics, but I can understand your difficulties... It's just that if I remember correctly, those lizard people originally worshiped an evil god named Sosokus, but they now believe in
It’s the foreign god called Saturday.”
"Well, that's not really true... Sosokus is originally an incarnation of Saturday."
Upon hearing this, Priest Tessa's wrinkled face revealed a slightly displeased look.
"This kind of lie may be able to deceive those barbaric and ignorant lizard people who have lived in the swamp all their lives, but since you are the head of the Arias family and the owner of this territory, you are definitely not a fool, so why bother to use such words to excuse you?
Me, or do you think I'm going to be as stupid as those lizard people?"
The girl was a little embarrassed by what she said, and before she could speak, the old priest continued, "In addition, I heard that you also gave the foreigner named Merlin the power to form a religious order in the Green Fields."
"It's not Green Field, to be precise, it's just a small piece of land to the west of Green Field. Besides, it's an established fact that those lizard people believe in Saturday. I gave Merlin the power to form a religious order so that he can better restrain those lizard people.
." Miss Rabbit explained patiently.
However, the old priest only used one sentence to silence her, "But you are still a believer of the goddess."
"Since you are a believer of the goddess, how can you allow other pagans to establish their religious orders in your territory and worship their gods?!"
Miss Rabbit scratched her head. She was not afraid of Priest Tessa.
Although the latter has saved lives and injured for many years, he has a high reputation in the Western Region, especially in the Black Rock City area.
But as the old priest said herself, she doesn't care much about politics. The reason why she came to investigate today is probably not because of the instructions of the Silver Moon Church, but simply because she can't stand what someone has done recently.
I feel that the new lord of Green Field may have gone astray, and someone needs to stand up and criticize and correct him in time.
Ilea felt guilty because she was told off by Priest Tessa.
The girl also found that she had indeed become less and less pious in recent times, not only allowing Li Yu to establish a religious order, but also secretly allowing Li Yu to preach in a small area.
The key is that she complains about the goddess much more than before, and sometimes she even feels distrustful of the goddess and feels that the goddess is of no use.
This had never happened before meeting Li Yu. She was full of awe and unconditional love for the goddess when she was studying in the temple.
It had only been a short time, but she had already fallen to such an extent that some time ago she was even seriously considering the gains and losses of switching to Saturday.
If she left it alone, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before she really lost the favor of the goddess completely if she continued like this.
Priest Tessa's admonition was like a basin of ice water, which made Miss Rabbit feel alert and alert at the same time.
The girl said gratefully, "I understand. You are right. I did not do well during this period. No wonder there are always various disasters in the territory. This must be a warning from the goddess. I will go and get rid of the goddess'
Copy and recite the hymns carefully several times."
The old priest was very satisfied with the young lord's attitude, and his tone and demeanor softened a lot, "It's not too late to make amends. It's not easy for you to realize your mistake so quickly.
"Especially for young people like you, introspection is an excellent and rare quality. Ilea, as long as you can maintain your devotion to the goddess, restrain your desires, be considerate of your subjects, show kindness and
Be tolerant, and you will definitely become an outstanding lord in the future."
"Thank you for your teaching." Miss Rabbit was so flattered by the praise that her ears twitched.
After sending away Priest Tessa, Ilea, just as she promised, went to the room where the Arias family kept books, and pulled out the sacred book from the shelf that had not been opened since returning to the green field.
Collection of poems.
Dust off the top.
I found paper and pen and carefully copied the hymns inside.
The whole afternoon, until sunset, the girl just lay on the table like this. Her wrists hurt while copying, but her little face was full of energy.
I feel like the impetuous and anxious feeling I had before has disappeared, and my soul seems to have settled down again.
After breathing a little sigh of relief and rubbing her wrists again, Ilea ate the dinner brought in by the maid while she rested.
At her request, today's dinner was very simple, just white bread with a piece of bacon stewed together with the newly harvested carrots.
Miss Rabbit decided to set an example and promote frugality in the territory, so that in disaster years, more grain reserves could be used to help the poor who do not have enough to eat.
She also planned to write another letter to the Silver Moon Church, asking them to send more people to her territory to spread the glory of the goddess and alleviate the pain and panic caused by the previous plunder of the lizard people to the ordinary people.
There are also those remnants of the Wetting family, not just Jane. Ilea noticed that many people's health conditions did not look very good, but they were not life-threatening for the time being, but they could not be left alone.
No matter what, they will be residents of Green Field from now on, and Miss Rabbit also plans to ask the herbalist in the territory to check and treat them...
Ilea spent a fulfilling and busy day like this.
In the middle of the night, Li Yu arrived as scheduled, and suddenly appeared in front of her out of thin air. The girl was already used to this, and she even nodded and said hello to Li Yu.
Li Yu carried a bag of steel tape measures, levels, and stainless steel trowels and asked Ilea, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Miss Rabbit put down the hymn book in her hand and shook her head gently, "No, nothing happened recently, and I'm not a child anymore. I can't ask you for help whenever something happens. I also have to learn to face difficulties on my own."
"Well. If you are fine, I will go to the lizard people."
