The two carriages contained a lot of things, and the small grass hut couldn't fit them all. Liang Lidong thought about it, and left these things at the village chief's house. Although the village chief had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but with such a large amount of wealth, he didn't dare to touch it at all. On the other hand, Kail's eyes were dazzled when he saw the two chests of gold coins.
"Teacher, you won't be able to use all this money in your lifetime."
Liang Lidong wasn't too interested in these gold coins: "It's only a little more than 2000 gold coins. For an ordinary person, it may be wealth that they can't earn in their lifetime, but for professionals, it's actually not that big of a deal. From now on, you have to learn to treat wealth with the right attitude. Although it's important, no matter how important it is, it can't compare to your own life, your own dignity, and your own friends and family. Of course, this is only my point of view. There are many people who think that money is very important, but such people generally can't go too far on the path of a professional. If you want to use this money, take some of it and spend it. "
Hearing this, the old village chief's expression changed. But very quickly, Liang Lidong said: "But if you want to use a lot of money, make a proposal for me so that I can judge whether the money is worth it or not."
"This is teacher's money, I definitely won't use a single gold coin." Kail repeatedly waved his hand: "Teacher left the money with me because he trusts us, how could we do such a thing?"
Hearing his grandson's words, the old village chief's expression was a bit conflicted, as if he had been constipated for a few days. At first, when Liang Lidong left the gold coins with him, he didn't have any thoughts, but when Liang Lidong said that Kail could use some, he immediately had some ideas, such as using these gold coins to help Kail build connections with the higher-ups. Although they now had a relationship with the mayor's family, it was naturally a good thing if they could get to know more nobles. His grandson was Beta's student, so it didn't matter if he spent more money on his student. Anyway, Pastor Beta didn't seem to be lacking in money, and he didn't seem to care too much about it.
However, he didn't expect Liang Lidong to say that if he wanted to spend a lot of money, he would need a letter of intent. This sentence blocked his thoughts, and his grandson actually said that he didn't want to spend a single gold coin. This really made him feel depressed.
Liang Lidong had actually seen through the Village Chief's intentions, which was why he had said that. There were plenty of NPCs who liked to take advantage of others but weren't evil. He had seen many of them in the game.
"Money has to be spent, because in this world, money is needed in many places. When you are used to spending money and know how to earn money, you won't care too much about money. After all, for professionals, strength was the most important thing. With power, it's easy to get rich. "
Kail didn't really understand, but Liang Lidong didn't expect him to understand right now. He could use magic alchemy items every day, and he could earn character EXP by making scrolls. These gold coins could be used as operating funds after the completion of the temple, which was quite useful.
The following days were very ordinary. Every morning, Liang Lidong would go to the riverside to teach the children how to read, then teach them some basic knowledge. In the afternoon, he would give special attention to Kail and Belin. Soon, five months had passed, and a new year had arrived. The temple was almost finished. Because of Liang Lidong's warning, Uther didn't come to disturb Liang Lidong. However, Barbara didn't come to Reed Village to find Kail. The boys and girls would spend the whole day together from time to time.
Whenever this happened, Belin's expression wouldn't look too good.
In five months, under Liang Lidong's guidance, the children in the two villages had undergone amazing changes. Although they were still wearing old clothes with many patches on them, they had been washed clean, and the people were also clean. Like teacher, like student. The person these children now worshipped the most was Liang Lidong, and they subconsciously imitated everything Liang Lidong did.
Liang Lidong walked with his back straight, and so did the children. Liang Lidong loved cleanliness, and so did the children. Liang Lidong was used to smiling when he saw people, and they also learned this habit … In short, there was now a large group of little "Beta" in the two villages. The villagers were very happy that their children had such a change. Although they did not understand any big principles, they still understood the most basic comparison. When their children stood next to the children of other villages, it was obvious that their children were much more outstanding. That temperament, that gaze, they already had the demeanor of a 'scholar'.
And the most outstanding among them was naturally Kail, and the other was Belin. With Liang Lidong specially giving them special attention, it would be strange if they didn't stand out.
In five months, Liang Lidong had risen to level three, and his "friendship" with Joan Of Arc had finally increased to 80 a few days ago. The telepathic link officially took effect, and Liang Lidong gained two very practical specialties.
Intuitive Evasion: You are born with strong reflexes and dynamic vision, and your reaction speed is faster than that of ordinary people. At the moment of being hit by an attack, if you make an evasive action, you will magically only take half of the damage. This effect only works on direct and immediate physical and magical attacks.
Light of Wisdom: You are very smart, and know how to use this intelligence correctly. Your magic effect: Knowledge acquisition efficiency increased by 10%, and your character EXP acquisition speed increased by 20%.
When he saw the effects of these two specialties, Liang Lidong was so happy that he held Joan Of Arc in his arms and kissed her hard on the beak several times, causing the latter to squeal and cry out that he was molesting her. Intuitive Evasion could greatly improve one's survivability, and it was even more useful than dragon specialties such as dragon scales. Light of Wisdom, on the other hand, was even more practical. The magic effect not only included damage spells, but also some support spells. Liang Lidong had tested it, and after using Fog Rider, the range of the thick fog was indeed increased by ten percent based on the current level.
As for the efficiency of knowledge acquisition and the improvement of character EXP acquisition, although these two effects couldn't be seen immediately, they would come into effect after a long time. Character level was even more important, and Light of Wisdom could increase the speed of his character level. It had to be said that it was indeed a very practical specialty.
After five months, Joan Of Arc had already grown a rather beautiful bright gold feather, the same color as Liang Lidong's hair.
As a result, she became quite smug and flew to the river every day to feel sorry for herself. I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful girl in the world.
In fact, it was not her fault that she became like this. Joan Of Arc, with her bright gold feathers, was indeed quite beautiful. Many people would probably believe it if she said that she was the infant of a golden phoenix.
Because of the heavy snow today, the teaching was temporarily suspended. Lying on his bed, Liang Lidong stared at the snow outside through the window in a daze. He planned to take a day off today. Joan Of Arc hid in the blanket. Actually, she was already a beast now and wasn't afraid of the cold at all, but her biological instincts still made her hate flying in such a snowy day. So, she didn't go to the river to show off but stayed at home to sleep.
He thought that today would be a leisurely day, but in the afternoon, the old village chief came to visit. He carried a basket of vegetables and a bottle of wine in the middle. Liang Lidong made a few dishes on the spot, and then slowly drank the wine with the old village chief, chatting about everything. Although the old village chief was knowledgeable, he couldn't compare to Liang Lidong. After about an hour, the old village chief had nothing to say. He could only quietly listen to Liang Lidong's chatter.
Liang Lidong didn't dislike the old village chief. Although he had a lot of thoughts, no matter what, the village chief Reed was just an ordinary person. You couldn't ask him to be as noble as a saint. There were no pure saints in this world, only saints who looked like saints.
Soon, the ale in the kettle was empty. Liang Lidong shook the kettle and said, "Old village chief, if you have something to say, just say it. I know that your visit this time is definitely not as simple as drinking with me."
The village chief Reed said, "Tomorrow is the day of spring. According to the custom, we must collectively transport last year's harvest to the city to sell before the new day of farming, and then divide the money according to the village rules."
"I heard this from Kail before," Liang Lidong said, "he said that if the two villages enter the city together, the poll tax will be cheaper."
"Indeed. There must be heavy snow before spring, and the snow must stop tomorrow. This is the eternal habit of the goddess of winter. " The old village chief nodded. "I should have led them into the city tomorrow. This has always been the rule. But I'm old now and can't move much. And Kail hasn't reached the age to be promoted, so I'd like to ask you to preside over the overall situation tomorrow and lead them into the city to sell the last year's harvest of the two villages. "
Liang Lidong thought about it and said, "Okay … but I also have a condition. Those adults don't have to follow tomorrow. Let me take those students into the city. It's time to let them enter the city to broaden their horizons. "
"Okay, no problem."
The old village chief was quite happy to get the confirmation. In his opinion, it was better if only the students followed. Kail could follow the teacher and learn, and take the opportunity to establish a preliminary prestige among the children, which might help his leadership skills in the future.
After a few casual chats, the old village chief left.
Joan Of Arc curled up in the blanket and said in a daze, "Going into the city tomorrow … Then I won't go with you. The snow is too heavy and cold. I don't like it."
"I don't want you to go out with me, but you should also understand that a magic pet can't be too far away from its master, or it will be forcibly teleported to its master."
Joan Of Arc froze for a moment, then said painfully, "Ah, I almost forgot about that … But I really don't want to go out. I hate snow, very much."
Liang Lidong smiled. He checked his spatial backpack, which was almost full of magic scrolls. He had already used up most of the magic alchemy items that Uther had sent over. Now it was necessary to sell the scrolls and buy some magic alchemy items.
Now he was only a little EXP away from level-four. If there were enough magic alchemy items for him to make scrolls for EXP, he could level up in about five days … When he reached level-four, he could learn a new specialty, and he wouldn't be far from level-five. As long as he reached level-five, the profession of Divine Noble would receive a special professional talent, and then in a real sense, the path of growth of Divine Noble would be opened.
Divine nobles before the fifth level are similar to magic swordsmen. They are all compound occupations, and their combat power is much worse. But after the fifth level, the divine nobles have their own professional characteristics.
