Chapter 11 Shure's Bait
"Ha, Professor Melda, I'm afraid it's not the first time we met." Shure narrowed his eyes and smiled, "One thousand four hundred and eighty-seven days ago, the professor and I met once in the big library. That time you stared at me for thirty-eight seconds, and eighty-twenty-one days ago, we met again. That time you said to me, young man, do you know where the book "Basic Education and Sociology" is? I want to check the original text of Mr. Alexander's words, "Basic Education is the foundation stone of social development." So, today is the third time we met."
"Your Excellency's memory is indeed amazing. In fact, I always feel that if you join the Temple of Knowledge, you will definitely be the best knowledge disseminator, just like that child."
"Your Excellency Professor is talking about Sav. She is indeed a very good communicator. However, your words are suspected of tempting me to join the Temple of Knowledge, hahahaha."
"It's not a suspicion, but I really hope you can join the Temple of Knowledge. At least in the past few years." Professor Melda sighed and said with great regret. "However, since the child met you, he often talked about you. From those words, I no longer have hope. Your loyalty to the Dark Moon is hard to shake, and the Dark Moon Temple also needs you. It's impossible to join the Temple of Knowledge. It's a pity, a pity."
For the priest, these words are actually too much. Publicly persuading a priest to change his faith is not only a pious question to the priest, but also an offense to the gods behind him. No church can tolerate others doing such bad behavior, nor will it indulge one's own people to do this, at least it will not indulge them in public.
However, the old professor said it without any concealment and was justified. In fact, he had already said that these two temples are two special cases.
In their eyes, inheriting knowledge and spreading wisdom is the responsibility of every Pavatiga, and it is also the only way for Pavatiga to continue to develop. All capable people should join the Temple of Knowledge and the Temple of Wisdom and do their part to the development of the world.
Therefore, they always spared no effort to lobby those possible targets, hoping that they could join the two temples, even at the risk of being hostile or even attacked, even the chaos of nightmares was no exception.
Strangely, the gods didn't mind very much and let them win over their servants, and there were many examples of winning over them.
This is because the temples of the two temples and other gods are not strictly belief institutions. The piety of the two gods is not the most important thing for the people who join. As long as they are pious enough to inherit knowledge and spread wisdom, they can join the two temples without even changing their faith.
Just like a loose educational institution, it will not conflict with its original beliefs, so it is no wonder that the gods don’t mind. The only troublesome thing is that it will take up a lot of time and will inevitably affect the original work in the church.
What Shuer lacks the most now is time. The old professor obviously knows this, so he gave up the original idea of winning over and kept sighing that it was a pity.
"It seems that you and Suff are very familiar with each other." But Shure cared about another thing, "She didn't dare to talk to anyone."
"I am the recommender of her joining the Temple of Knowledge. It is also me who activated her yearning for knowledge. You must have investigated all these things long ago?"
"Uh..." Embarrassing, extremely embarrassed. Shuer touched his nose and even his smile became stiff. He really couldn't underestimate the eyes of these old people. He could see through his plans with a sharp look. Fortunately, Melda just said it casually and had no other purpose, otherwise, he might be even more embarrassing.
"Well, I mean, you have helped her so much in secret, but she probably doesn't know who you are."
"Help her? I didn't help her, it was just two people who like knowledge to communicate with each other."
"Oh? Her affairs were so big, and she was not a formal believer in the temple at the time. The Temple of Knowledge spared no effort to help her carry the pressure. I don't believe that there is no effort behind this."
"This is not helping her, this is helping ourselves." Professor Melda suddenly became angry and cursed indignantly, "The more people are willing to spread knowledge, the better. It is rare that a child with talent like Saff is willing to join this ranks. The idiot Leman Sallivan dared to stop it for ridiculous desire to control it is simply a blasphemy of knowledge. If it weren't for the doctrine that would not allow it, I would have mobilized believers to drive him out of the Emerald Empire."
"Ha, don't be angry. Isn't everything going well now?" Shuer was startled. An ordinary person of such an old age would be troublesome if he had something to angry. "In fact, there is no need to be a pity because I can't join the Temple of Knowledge. I will help Saf complete her dream."
"oh?"
"Haha, Saff is a simple fool, but I'm not. I will help her realize her dream in the near future." As early as the first time when I passed the shadows, Saff mentioned his dream to Sunder, which was to open a school to spread knowledge. Both of them never forgot what they said at that time. "In fact, this time I came to Lion City, this is also part of the purpose."
"That's great." Professor Melda nodded while twisting his beard. The old man didn't say much, because he was waiting. Judging from the experience he had obtained from analyzing Shuer's behavior, this cunning young man's goal was himself and the gods behind him. When he saw him, it was time for him to throw out bait or make a request. The old man was always very patient, so he just waited patiently for Shuer's next temptation.
"Ha, it seems that everyone knows me very well." Shuer has seen the subtext behind it. This is not a bad thing. It is not worse than what they think is mysterious. "Yes, I have a next plan, or a next promise."
"Although it is not possible yet, I can promise that in the near future, as long as there is a city with the Dark Moon worship hall, there will be a classroom in the temple of knowledge in the evening or early morning to provide local citizens with basic education on reading and literacy."
The hand twisted his beard suddenly paused, his eyes, which were half open and half closed, were completely closed, and the old man fell into a long silence.
Shuer is not in a hurry, not at all. This is how fishing is. Since the bait has been thrown out, what you have to do later is to wait patiently for the prey to come to the door. As long as the bait is delicious enough, even if the prey hesitates for a long time, it will bite the hook sooner or later.
So he just smiled, leaving enough time for the old man to think, and signaled to Oranna who was politely waiting aside that he could continue.
"This gentleman is the believer of the Traveler's Wind. Priest Pavin, the representative of the Temple of Wind. The Archbishop of the Temple of Wind is far away in the Rose Capital. Haha, he is the same city as Lord Shur, but he has something important to do, so he can only send a representative to come. However, Lord Pavin has been authorized by the Temple of Wind and can make a full decision on behalf of the Temple."
It looks familiar. I used to blackmail at the Saint Center of the Rose Capital. No, no, no, no, I met this priest when I was in friendly consultation with those lovely staff, but I had never communicated and couldn't even know each other. Well, the wind god Sailor is not in his plan, but the traveler's wind is the carrier of information and intelligence. Many thieves will believe in him, and he is the patron saint of the halfling, so it seems to be a good choice to include him in the plan. Well, study it again and don't rush to make a decision.
Shuer had various thoughts in his mind, but he nodded calmly on the surface, which was exactly in line with the attitude that the two first-time people should have.
"The remaining two are our colleagues of the God of Water." Confirm that Shure had no plans to communicate in depth like the first three, Oranna consciously continued, "the servant of Lord Heller, Lord of the Ocean and Storm, the controller of the Eastern Temple of the Deep Sea, Lord of the Deep Sea Church, Lord of the Snow and Ice, the apostle of the Goddess of Ice, Archbishop Bethophanene."
Cardinal Gaimir of the Ocean is a blue-skinned male sea elf with almost broken muscles. It is not so much an elf priest, but rather a barbaric warrior of orcs. However, this is the characteristics of sea elf. Unlike their close relatives on land, sea elf in the deep sea often has extremely developed muscles and slim figures are all aliens. This should be related to the living environment in the ocean.
Seeing Shuer look at him, the strong and muscular man who is two meters tall actually showed a very gentle smile, and his voice was soft and soft: "I have heard of your name for a long time. Master Shuer, I admire your reputation in the circle of shadow-seekers."
Don't admire me, I'm afraid. Thinking of some special atmosphere of the Sea Elf, Shuer subconsciously shivered, smiled awkwardly and politely, and quickly shifted his target to Bessephine.
This is an ice fairy that is not common in normal areas. Many fairies with listening wings in fairy tales are based on them. However, they are much larger than the individuals in fairy tales. Well, they are one meter tall and a little shorter than halflings. Although they have wings, they cannot fly normally. The wings are actually their energy amplification organs, used for fighting rather than moving.
"Actually, there was a priest who should have participated in the meeting, but I was a little impatient to wait this morning and ran out to go shopping. I probably couldn't get back, so I didn't prepare her seat. I'll introduce her to you after she came back. However, I think you should have known each other long ago."
