"Sorry, kid, but you can't prove that you are a qualified believer of the Holy Light, right? So I'm sorry, although the Holy Light will favor you, you still need more tests if you want to serve the Holy Light."
The old man in front of Li Ke had a kind face. His beard hung down to his chest. It exuded the fragrance of an unknown spice and was thick and smooth. It looked like he had a good beard that was regularly groomed.
On the other party's thick silk robe, gold threads, gems, and diamonds formed a gorgeous pattern, which set off the other party's holiness and kindness.
and rich.
Blue silk, gold threads, broken diamonds, and sparkling gems are not cheap. Obviously, ordinary farmers may not be able to afford this gorgeous robe after spending a lifetime.
But Li Ke knew that these were just the regular clothes of the bishop in front of him. He also had three sets of identical clothes for preaching, as well as several more gorgeous sets of clothes for participating in more important activities.
If you want to say why...
He comes here basically every week to listen to this man's sermons and teachings, and he comes every day to help the church's priests with their work and do some chores. Naturally, he knows the situation of this bishop.
And he came here so that he could listen to the way of the Holy Light and join these monks.
As for why you must become a Holy Light monk.
there are many reasons.
The Holy Light monks are decent, rich and have a noble status. These are all reasons.
But the most important thing is that Holy Light monks will not be excluded and have the opportunity to master the power of Holy Light.
These two are the most important to Li Ke.
"Sorry, kid, but isn't this what everyone is doing? If this can prove that your belief in the Holy Light is beyond ordinary people, it would be too unfair to other people."
Having said this, the old man glanced at Li Ke, as if he was moved by Li Ke's sincerity, and spoke out a method.
"The knights of the monastery are about to return after clearing away the bandits and cultists. I think by that time, there will be a lot of damage and scars on their armor. If anyone can help them solve these problems, I think they will be happy to recommend it.
That person entered the church and served.”
After he finished speaking, a servant came to him and spoke beside him.
"My Lord Bishop, you should go to where the lord is."
The bishop nodded, did not talk to Li Ke anymore, but walked straight to the gate of the monastery.
It was obvious that the lord was anxious to see him.
At the gate, a carriage pulled by four white horses was waiting for the bishop. He stepped onto the carriage on a soft stool also made of silk, and then completely disappeared from Li Ke's eyes.
Li Ke wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Repairing armor is not as simple as in the game. A simple damage will require a lot of man-hours to repair. You can't just insert a piece of iron and it's done. Instead, you need to decorate it with various emblems and patterns.
Not only does it take a long time, but the process requirements are also very high, so...
Very expensive.
But I have to say it is indeed a good opportunity.
As long as he repairs the armors of those knights for free, then he will indeed be able to gain the friendship of these knights. At that time, he will still be able to obtain the identity of a monk doing odd jobs.
But he has no money and can't do this job.
As an ordinary person who traveled to this world in his original body, although his appearance has changed back to sixteen years old for some reason, his body's strength still remains that of an adult, but his biggest problem is not that his current strength is still unable to cope with
There is no comparison between the farmers here, but he is a 'foreigner'.
When he first traveled here, he was imprisoned as a spy by the militia because he didn't understand the writing and language here. It wasn't until the lord's mage came over to cast a spell on him that he mastered some common language and cleared himself of being a spy.
suspicion.
The lord here didn’t look like a soldier or a spy at all because of Li Ke’s exquisite mobile phone and clothes, as well as his hands and feet without calluses. Instead, he looked like a scholar and an illegitimate son of a nobleman. So this kind lord let him go and let him live in his own country.
He lived in the territory and became a citizen of the kingdom called 'Lordaeron'.
But although the lord did not make things difficult for him, he was still unable to move here.
Buying food?
If you are a foreigner, it will be more expensive.
Participate in collective welfare activities?
You are a foreigner, and your share belongs to others.
Work? You are a foreigner, so there are very few job opportunities, and your already meager salary will become even lower.
Because they know you dare not refuse.
The only solution is to completely integrate into them and become one of them.
But this method requires either having money, power, or strength.
But Li Ke had nothing and couldn't even leave.
Because of his frail physique compared to other people in this world, he could not survive three days outside this small town - Li Ke saw wolves the size of motorcycles and wolves the size of beach chairs more than once on the edge of the town.
Spiders, and their cute little spiders the size of rice cookers.
So he can only be a hardworking and good man:
Forgive others when you are bullied, take the initiative to help, do voluntary activities that no one is willing to do, do things that everyone participates in together, do not complain about being isolated and targeted, and then...
When the next stranger comes, join the others and isolate him.
"It's better to live like this without traveling through time."
Li Ke sighed, turned around and left the monastery, heading towards the blacksmith shop where he worked.
Before he traveled through time, he was a craftsman blogger, doing some work like restoring armor or sculpting. He made videos every day and made all kinds of strange orders from customers, such as ancient swords, ancient armors, and lightweight ones.
Two-dimensional armor or something.
The rest of the time is either fishing or learning various forging and weaving techniques.
And because in the modern Internet age, everyone is very free and has all kinds of strange hobbies, which directly leads to him living a relatively chic life.
So after coming to this world, he, who was illiterate in this world, did not have to work hard, but found a job in the blacksmith shop of this world, repairing and building.
But as a price, he taught the craft of making gauntlets to the owner of the blacksmith shop, a man who had a sullen face all day long and deducted his salary when he had nothing to do.
Just as he was talking, he walked towards the blacksmith shop and saw his boss.
Talos, a middle-aged man who is always dirty, does not turn on the stove to the maximum while striking iron, but leans against the warm stone wall and looks at Li Ke.
This is unusual, because usually, they always have weapons and armor that need repairing, but today there is nothing.
"Why, our ugly duckling is trying to become a swan again?"
Talos looked at Li Ke with a disdainful expression on his face.
Li Ke took a deep breath. Talos didn't say it was best to deduct his salary. He quickly put on a dirty apron and wanted to go to his seat to continue repairing the mail armor that had not been repaired yesterday.
However, Talos stretched out his thick arm and stopped him.
"Tell me, how did they reject you this time?"
There was an undoubted color in his eyes. Li Ke knew why, because he didn't want him to go to the church. Li Ke knew what he was worried about. It was nothing more than that once he went to serve in the church, some of the knights who belonged to the church would
For minor problems, such as armor maintenance and minor damage repairs, you won't come to him again.
This will save him a large number of high-quality orders.
For this reason, Li Ke knew that if he didn't tell him the reason, Talos would find another reason to deduct his salary.
Life is hard enough, there is no need to deprive yourself of bread money.
"As long as I am willing to repair the armor of all the knights for free, I can..."
But before he finished speaking, Talos burst out laughing.
"...you can join the church, but unfortunately, you are a pauper, your salary is only enough for food and drink, and you can't afford the money, so naturally you can't join."
Talos slapped Li Ke hard on the shoulder, and Talos sneered, then looked at Li Ke meaningfully.
"But boy, you have to remember, if I am beaten to death on the spot for stealing, no one will bother me."
Obviously, the other party thought Li Ke would steal things.
"You know I won't."
Li Ke was a little angry.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Talos had a deep meaning and began to think about something.
Li Ke didn't argue any more, just shook his painful shoulder, walked to the side, took a deep breath, sat back in his seat, and started knitting amidst the occasional tinkling sounds and heat waves in the blacksmith shop.
Plate of mail.
However, just when his eyes were a little sore and he thought that today would be over with heavy labor, Talos, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"Boy, if you want to make a fortune, it's not impossible."
Li Ke raised his head and looked at Talos doubtfully, who smiled. Moreover, Li Ke noticed that at some point, other apprentices in the blacksmith shop came over silently.
He was silent for a moment, looking at the muscles of those people and the hammer in their hands before raising his head and looking at Talos.
"What's the meaning?"
Talos walked up to Li Ke, took away the awl in his hand, and spoke while playing with it.
"The reason why you are in such difficulty is simply because you are a foreigner. But if you became one of our own, wouldn't you not have to go to the Holy Light Church, and you would be able to make money and live easily?"
Talos's scarred face had a scary smile, and now he was laughing, a scary smile.
"One of our own?"
"That's right, one's own people, one's own people in the true sense, are not the kind of one's own people who can just be good gentlemen."
Talos looked at Li Ke and showed a smile.
Li Ke looked at the expressionless apprentices and took a deep breath.
If you don't agree, you will be a thief, right?
"Of course I want to be my own person."
After saying these words, Talos whistled happily, and the apprentices dispersed silently, with only one or two remaining by their side.
"Very good, but you should know that if you want to be your own person, you don't just have superb skills. You have to make us trust you."
Talos walked over and wrapped Li Ke's shoulders with his iron-like arms, making Li Ke feel like he was about to be swallowed by something. Talos's cold, hoarse voice of a poisonous snake also penetrated in again at this time.
out of his ears.
"And it just so happens that we have a big business, which can not only make you one of our own, but also make you a fortune."
He almost pushed Li Ke and led him out of the blacksmith shop and towards the shed behind the blacksmith shop.
"I think you've also heard that the knights who destroyed the cultists are coming back..."
