Ten days

In the shrine, there were more than a dozen people, both adults and children, praying with their eyes closed. In this era of lack of entertainment, setting up a faith for oneself could play a role in the soul, especially for the poor and poor people. Most of them believed that as long as they believed in the gods and were pious enough in this life, they could be reincarnated into a rich family in the next life.

Liang Lidong did not force the villagers to believe in the religion. He just talked about the teachings of the goddess Woking every day, but now many people were willing to start believing in the goddess Woking. The management system of the shrine also showed that the number of shallow believers had increased to more than 20 people.

Passing through the aisle in the middle of the shrine, Liang Lidong bypassed the lecturing platform and went to the back room of the shrine. Generally speaking, the living room of all shrines would be arranged behind the statue of the god, meaning to always follow the footsteps of the god, day or night. At the same time, it also symbolized that the believers of the god would be protected by the god. The god would stand in front of the believers to shelter them from the wind and rain.

On the first day that the shrine was built, Liang Lidong moved his bedroom into the shrine. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Joan Of Arc lying on the bed. After returning to Reed Village, Joan Of Arc had always liked to fly freely in the air. Under normal circumstances, it was not seen. Liang Lidong knew that falcons were animals that yearned for freedom. Even if they became magic pets and gained wisdom, they would still do so. Therefore, he rarely restricted the behavior of Joan Of Arc and let it fly all over the mountains and play everywhere.

"Why did you call me back in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Joan Of Arc shook her bright golden feathers. The level of the magic pet was exactly the same as the master, and because of the specialty "Magic Pet Strengthening," Joan Of Arc's strength was much stronger than it was six months ago. And as its level continued to increase, its strength would become more and more outstanding. Even in the data panel, it was very likely that it would surpass its master in the future.

"Well, there is indeed some problem," Liang Lidong replied. "I made some mistakes. The city lord can't hold on against the shrine. I overestimated the City Lord's strength and underestimated the Temple's power. I'm planning to go to Winterwind in a few days to show my respect to the mayor. "

Joan Of Arc asked curiously, "Even so, you can wait for the Temple of Life to kill the mayor, who must be weak at that time. Then, you can kill the people of the Temple of Life, right? Why do you have to go up now? "

"I understand what you're saying, but you've overlooked something. Once the City Lord is killed, we'll have to face the Temple ourselves. If we can't win, we can run away. But what about the people of Reed Village? Now that the Woking Temple is on the right track, if I run away, everything will have to start all over again … If we can cooperate with the Castellan, maybe we can stop the Temple's open attack and assassination. "

Joan Of Arc nodded. "You're afraid that the Temple of Life will break them one by one!"

"Indeed." Liang Lidong continued, "Uther sent Barbara to find us. Although Barbara didn't bring any guards and seemed to be keeping a low profile, it's impossible that the Church of Life, an enemy, didn't send people to follow them. I reckon the stalker is almost here at Reed by now. " You'll fly to the sky and keep an eye on the village. Report to me if anything is wrong. "

Okay! Joan Of Arc nodded and flew into the sky from the window like a golden arrow.

Liang Lidong began to examine the magic scrolls in his Backpack. Recently, he had been analyzing Mist Riding. Although he earned a lot of EXP, he didn't make many scrolls. He had a lot of magic scrolls at this moment, but there weren't many types. Most of them were ancillary and healing spells. There were only seven offensive scrolls.

"That's a bit troublesome." Liang Lidong clicked his tongue. Although ancillary scrolls could also reverse the situation if used well, offensive scrolls were the real main attack method. If even offensive methods weren't enough, it would be difficult to use the ancillary scrolls.

"I hope there aren't more than two trackers!" Liang Lidong sorted out the order of the scrolls in his spatial bag. This had already become a habit of his. Before every battle, he would make perfect preparations. This was a necessary battle accomplishment for every powerful player.

He waited quietly in the temple, and it didn't take long for Jeanne's voice to reach his mind through the spiritual channel.

A moment later, Liang Lidong stood up and walked out of the temple. As soon as he left, he ran into Barbara, Kail, and the black-robed girl. The atmosphere between the three of them seemed a bit strange. Kail was still carefree and simple, while the black-robed girl's face was slightly red and she looked a bit shy. As for Barbara, her expression was slightly conflicted!

The relationship between the three of them was a bit strange. Liang Lidong clicked his tongue in his heart. It seemed that Kail had captured the heart of another girl … Was this guy a magical girl killer?

Barbara saw that Liang Lidong's expression seemed a bit off, and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"

Liang Lidong looked around. There were only the four of them nearby, and he said lightly, "I'm going to kill someone."

As soon as he said that, the other three were shocked. This was especially so for Kail. In his eyes, his teacher had always been a very kind person. Although he had killed someone half a year ago, that was because he had no other choice. Now that such a good person had suddenly said that he was going to kill someone, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Barbara was smarter. After her shock, she thought deeply for a while, and a gloomy expression appeared on her still somewhat immature face, "Sir, are you saying that we're being followed?"

Liang Lidong nodded.

"Then let's go together!" Although Kail was kind, he wasn't stupid. After hearing that his fiancée was being followed, his first reaction was to get rid of the enemy and protect Barbara, "Although I'm not strong, I should be able to help."

Liang Lidong looked up at the sky and said, "There's no need. There's only one person, and he's most likely a scout. I used Joan Of Arc's vision to observe him for a while, and found that he's just a rookie. He can't even use basic Shadow Evasion. We don't need to mobilize all of us against an enemy like this. "

Barbara's expression was a bit ugly. The other party was just a rookie, but she still couldn't detect him. This meant that her anti-tracking ability was very poor. Of course, Liang Lidong knew that what he said would hurt Barbara, but he still said it. This girl had a good character and strength, but because she grew up in a greenhouse, she didn't have much combat experience, so she wasn't experienced enough.

Liang Lidong was indirectly warning her to be more careful in the future. In a fight for wealth, it was either you die or I live. If there was a chance, the other party would definitely kill her. It would be too late to regret not being careful enough.

After saying this, Liang Lidong headed towards the village entrance.

Kail comforted her from behind, "Barbara, don't be sad. The teacher didn't mean to scold you. He's doing this for your own good."

"I know!" Barbara nodded, "If he hadn't discovered that someone was following me, I might never have learned this lesson. Maybe the next stalker won't be a scout, but an assassin or an assassin. "

The black-robed girl said with some fear, "The Red High Priest has such a strong murderous aura. I can feel that he's killed many people."

"The teacher used to be a mercenary and killed many people. That's normal." Kail said indifferently, "But in any case, I believe that the teacher is a man with a bottom line, because he likes us children very much. I once heard from a bard in a tavern in Winterwind that people who like children can't be too bad. Besides, I've never seen the teacher angry for anything in all the time I've known him. "

Barbara agreed, "I agree, or my father wouldn't have asked me to ask him for help."

"Barbara, why do you need the teacher's help? What happened?" Although Kail was simple, he wasn't stupid.

Ah! Barbara covered her mouth with regret. She didn't want her fiancé to get involved in this filthy conflict of interests, but she didn't expect that she would accidentally spill the beans.

She thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Fine, I didn't want you to know about this, but it seems that you won't feel comfortable unless you ask for the reason. Sigh …"

Then, Barbara told him what had happened. After hearing it, Kail was somewhat speechless. "No wonder you wanted to give gold coins to the teacher. But the teacher is good at everything, except that he's a bit narrow-minded. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten about it. "

Barbara rolled her eyes at her fiancé and said, "In fact, Mr. Beta is doing the right thing. He's a vengeful person. If someone wants to provoke him, they'll definitely think twice. This world is cruel, and people won't be nice to you just because you're nice to them. Kail, if I were your enemy, I would take advantage of your kindness and provoke you again and again. One day, you'll die in my hands. "

Kail fell silent. He wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't listen to advice … Even Barbara was like that, which meant that the world was indeed cruel, but he didn't understand it very well. He had to consider if he was suitable to be a mercenary.

Just as he was in a daze, Liang Lidong walked back from the entrance of the village. The black-robed girl subconsciously hid behind Kail, while Barbara stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Beta, is it settled?"

Liang Lidong nodded. "It's settled … Miss Barbara, I've thought about it. I agree to join forces with the Longman family, but you have to wait for me for ten days because I have something important to deal with. I'll go find you myself in ten days. I believe that with the city lord's ability, it won't be difficult to fight the church of life for ten days. "

"As you wish!" Barbara was very happy as she pulled up her skirt to do a ladylike bow as a sign of gratitude.
