Cheng Dalei was stunned and asked, "Are you going to Chang'an?"
Audrina nodded: "We are going to meet the emperor of the empire and tell him the oracles from the gods."
Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji looked at each other and found it strange. They both looked down upon themselves as the Lord of Qinchuan, and their target was the old man Emperor Ming.
"Well... this place is not far from Chang'an. Besides, the war is in chaos right now, and the road is not peaceful." Cheng Dalei kindly reminded.
"That's why we asked Master Cheng to send someone to escort us into Beijing."
Cheng Dalei rubbed his eyes, trying to confirm whether he was awake or whether Odelina was still confused.
"But why should I escort you?"
Audrina looked at Cheng Dalei with incomprehensible eyes: "This is a rare honor. If you can send us safely to the capital, you will be the sacred skitarii, and the gods will bless you forever."
Kane explained to Cheng Dalei: "Just like the Holy Knights of the Holy See, they have fiefdoms, enshrinements, and the glory passed down from generation to generation."
Cheng Dalei had nothing to say and stared at Kane in surprise.
I was chatting with Kane yesterday and I thought he sounded smart. Why did he sound a little out of tune when he spoke today?
"Since your ambition is not here, I won't force you to stay." Cheng Dalei stood up and said, "Commander Xu, please arrange for someone to see off the guests."
Audrina also stood up: "Thank you, Master Cheng, for your help. The gods will bless you forever. I wonder how many people you will send to escort us?"
Cheng Dalei blinked: "I didn't say I would escort you."
"Uh..." This time it was Audrina who was stunned, she said: "This supreme glory, the eternal blessing of the gods..."
"I don't care." Cheng Dalei paused and suddenly said solemnly: "Dear Saint, in fact, I also have my own beliefs. I believe in the great Toad God. Darkness covers the world. The Great Toad God will eventually swallow up all the darkness and restore the world.
The world is bright.”
Audrina and Kane were confused.
Xu Shenji talked eloquently: "I'm afraid you two still don't know that our leader is the apprentice of the immortal, and all his skills were taught by the immortal in his dreams."
Audrina was stunned for a long time, and finally uttered: "Those are all evil gods."
"..." Cheng Dalei.
It is true that the psychology of these believers cannot be speculated by normal people's thinking, and of course their beliefs cannot and should not be doubted. Audrina came all the way and overcame many difficulties in order to see the emperor of the empire.
According to legend, this big Eastern country has no beliefs of its own, and is primitive, simple, and innocent. This is simply an uncultivated virgin land. As long as they spread their wings of divine light, they will not scream like babies thirsty for milk.
He threw himself into his mother's arms.
Of course, even if they can reach the capital after all the hard work, it's hard to say whether they can meet Emperor Ming. Even if they finally meet Emperor Ming, the old man of Emperor Ming... is not as easy to talk to as Cheng Dalei.
Otherwise, these people have abnormal brains.
The most abnormal one is Audrina, who has the spirit of "I am my father in the world". In comparison, Kane is relatively normal. After running for so long, everyone is exhausted and no longer wants to leave.
Go down.
Kane said a few words to Audrina in their language. Audrina seemed very troubled, but finally nodded and agreed, her expression was extremely aggrieved.
"Then we will stay here for the time being." Audrina said, "But I still have a few requests."
"What's the request? Let me tell you." Cheng Dalei.
"First, we must be allowed to preach freely within Qinchuan Pass; second, we must have a separate living area, and no one else is allowed to come near; third, a temple must be built for us, and our daily necessities must be provided by you.
"
"That's all?" Cheng Dalei asked curiously.
"That's all for now. We will come up with a formal document and agree on specific details later."
"What did I think, it turns out that's all." Cheng Dalei stretched.
"You agreed?"
"No one agrees."
"Uh..." Audrina.
Cheng Dalei looked at her innocently. If she knew Cheng Dalei, she would understand the meaning in Cheng Dalei's eyes at this moment: stop talking nonsense.
Cheng Dalei is also currently thinking about whether it is right or wrong to let these people join Toad Village.
"Call He Shen." Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said.
Negotiations were still handled by professionals like He Shen. As for Audrina, Cheng Dalei was no longer in the mood to chat with her.
When He Shen came in, Xu Shenji and Cheng Dalei stood up and left. The next person Audrina chatted with was He Shen, and she immediately felt the difference between He Shen and Cheng Dalei.
He Shen was polite and courteous, and even patiently asked about the teachings of the Protestant Church. But then, He Shen used his strong logical ability to get around Audrina's confusion, and even almost wavered in his own faith.
Not long after Cheng Dalei left, He Shen came to Cheng Dalei's study.
"It's settled, so soon?" Cheng Dalei.
"It's not difficult. They don't have anywhere to go anyway."
Heshen is indeed a master of negotiation. He easily managed Audrina and pushed the opponent's bottom line again and again.
The specific details agreed upon were that they would be allowed to stay, and Toad Village would arrange housing and provide them with living security at the beginning. But later on, if they wanted to live here, they would have to work. In their spare time, they wanted to preach, so that was
Let them do whatever they want.
As for Audrina's request for a temple, a separate living area, building a temple, and enjoying offerings... He Shen rejected it without thinking.
Liu Bei is responsible for arranging the specific work of these people. Liu Bei currently has the power of personnel in the village. Cheng Dalei also personally participated to see what skills these people have.
There are about fifty people in this group, including the following professions: navigators, adventurers, hunters, cobblers, winemakers, bards, pharmacists, and alchemists.
Cheng Dalei also took a look at the magician himself, and he found that he thought he was pretty good. He might as well be called a magician. He was almost a charlatan, but Cheng Dalei had no shortage of these people.
Among these professions, Cheng Dalei's most valued professions are: an adventurer who can draw maps, a pharmacist who can mix various potions, and an alchemist who studies the composition of materials.
As for Audrina, Cheng Dalei was surprised to find that her profession was actually a prophet. Moreover, the profession of a prophet was not a nonsense profession like a magician, and it actually had certain functions.
According to the system introduction, if the prophet predicts that you will have good luck, then you can go out and wander around, and you may encounter some unique weapons, treasures, etc. But when the prophet predicts that you have bad luck, you will end up staying at home.
