As Nicholas was talking, he suddenly stopped and stared blankly at Yue Chuo's back. It turned out that he only noticed at this moment that a huge monster came in behind Yue Chuo. It was all white and had a stripe.
The scarlet tongue dragged outside the panting mouth.
"What, what is this?" He pointed at the lucky guy and asked stammering.
There were already many villagers crowded in the temple in twos and threes. At this time, they also noticed Lucky's presence, and many women and children screamed. A few men even came to beat him with sticks and shovels.
"Don't panic, don't panic!" Yue Chuo shouted hurriedly, "This is my soul beast. It's a bit bigger, but it's not a monster. It's really not a monster!"
"Soul beast! How can there be such a big soul beast?" Nicholas said sharply, "I have dealt with magicians a lot. The largest soul beast is at most... at most the size of a washbasin."
"Priest Nikolai..." Christine tugged on Nikolai's sleeve and whispered to him, "Vivian said we can completely trust you, is that true?"
Nicholas nodded, still looking at Lucky in horror.
"Then let me tell you the truth." Christine added, "This man is actually a sage..."
"What did you say!"
"He is the twelfth sage." Christine explained patiently, "So the soul beasts of ordinary magicians cannot be compared with his soul beasts."
After hearing this, Nicholas patted his heart, raised his arm and pressed down, asking the villagers to be quiet.
"Don't worry, everyone, this thing is indeed a spirit beast." He said, "They are friends of the old lady on the mountain. Everyone knows the old lady. She is a good person, right?" The villagers all nodded.
, he continued, "They were called by the old lady to help us kill the demons, so everyone doesn't have to worry and should be happy."
"Hey, when did we agree to help you kill demons?" Yue Chuo said hoarsely, "We are just here to buy grain and flour, and we don't want to get into any trouble."
"But we are harmed by the devil. If we don't kill it, we won't have food." Nicholas smiled kindly and took out a few sugar cubes from his pocket, "Want some sugar? It's so sweet."
The three of them looked at him suspiciously and shook their heads at the same time.
"Look -" Nicholas threw the candy to a few greedy children, patted the powdered sugar on his hands and said, "The devil comes to the village every day to steal food. If you don't kill it, we will
We have to leave the food to the demons to save their lives, so there will be no extra food to sell to you. If we give the food to you and the demons don’t get the food, they will come and eat the villagers..."
"Demons who steal food? This is the first time I've heard of it." Yue Chuo couldn't help but laugh, "Christine, do you know anything about this?"
"This is definitely not what we know." Christine said bluntly, "And to be honest, as far as I know, demons are legendary creatures."
"Shh..." Nicholas pressed his finger to his lips and whispered, "The devil is real, and everyone in the village saw it with their own eyes. Last time, the devil wanted to capture a little girl. Fortunately, the girl's parents
Snatch her back in time."
"If there is a demon, I don't think it will let two villagers take away the food from their mouths." Yue Zero said impatiently, "There is no problem in helping you kill the demon, but you must guarantee that there will be food transactions for us in the future.
."
"As long as you kill the devil, of course there will be no problem." Nicholas said, stroking his snow-white beard, "As long as you kill the devil, I guarantee that the villagers will not ask for your money and will give you food for free."
"We want more..."
"No matter how much!" Nikolai waved his hand and interrupted Yue Chuo, "As long as you leave enough food for them, the rest can be given to you. - But, I still have a request..."
"Are you sure he is a priest?" Yue Chuo stared at Nicholas and asked Christine in disbelief, "Why do I think he is more like a cunning businessman?"
"I'm not a businessman, I'm a 200% devout priest." Nicholas showed his signature kind smile. "As long as you promise me, it will definitely be good for you."
"Tell me first, what is going on." Yue Ling said angrily, "I also doubt whether you are a priest or not."
"Look at this, am I not a priest?" Nicholas grabbed the collar of the priest's robe and pulled it down, revealing a wrinkled chest with a water-drop cross shining with a faint silver light. "This is sacred.
The seal cannot be forged except by a true priest."
"Okay -" Yue Chuo saw that Christine nodded, indicating that Nicholas was telling the truth, so he said, "You tell me your request first, and then I will consider whether to agree to you."
"Actually, my request is very simple." Nicholas said, "You kill the devil, and after the villagers give you food, you take me and leave with you."
"Leave!" Yue Ling said in surprise, "You mean you want to abandon these villagers and let them lose God's favor?"
"You don't understand!" Nicholas waved his hand and said piously, "Now the true God is in front of them. If you get rid of the devil, they will be favored by the true God."
"What on earth is he talking about?" Yue Chuo asked in confusion, "Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it."
"He's talking about you." Christine said, "The gods enshrined in the temple are the sages of the past. And you will become the twelfth god in the temple in the future. So if we kill
Devil, the villagers are favored by the true God."
"I'm still alive and well, why do you listen to these words as if I'm dead?" Yue Chuo said unhappily, "Nicholas, you don't want me to take you away, is it for this reason?"
"Of course that's the reason." Nicholas said seriously, "You have to know that any priest who knows your identity will want to follow you. We have served the gods all our lives, and now there is a true god standing in front of us.
How could you not follow in his footsteps?"
"I'll say it again, I won't be your god until I die." Yue Chuo said impatiently, "It's annoying enough to be regarded as a sage, but now it's great, I will be regarded as a god directly. You want to follow me,
I don't object, but you have to be useful, and I don't want to feed idle people."
"Of course I am useful." Nicholas said proudly, "Before I became a priest, my family property was extremely rich. If I hadn't woken up from a dream one day, I would have donated all my property to the church and became a priest.
."
"After all, you are still a profiteer."
"In business, this is not considered traitorous." Nicholas said seriously, "Think about it, you will buy food in the future. With me helping to negotiate the price, ten silver leaves can buy 500 catties of rice, how can you
Are you willing to buy only 400 kilograms? You can obviously earn 50 jinbei by doing things for others, but are you willing to only buy 30 kilograms?"
"You, the priest, are really special!" Yue Chuo laughed after hearing this.
"It's not that I'm special, but that everyone has a different way of serving the gods." Nicholas said, "As you said, you haven't been enshrined in the temple of this god yet. In other words, even if I respect you
For the true God, you still have to eat, drink and have sex. And you may have some plans in the future, all of which require money. You have to believe that it is easier for a priest to negotiate the price than for this girl to negotiate the price with so many swords.
