Yin Lian turned around and was stunned for a moment, then she smiled sweetly and said, "Teacher, why are you here?"
The Black Sage said: "You are trying to lure a snake out of its hole. If I don't come over, do you think the people here can really guarantee your safety?"
Yin Lian paused, put away his smile, and said, "Teacher, are you...worried about me?"
The Black Sage said: "I am only your student, and I am so easy to control. How can I not be worried?"
What he said was a little awkward, and Yin Lian stuck out her tongue in her heart, thinking, how arrogant.
Although the Black Sage does usually summon Yin Lian, this kind of summons is different from ordinary handymen. It is called entrusting important tasks. Of course, Yin Lian himself did a very good job.
However, even so, the black sage used the word as if he was actually very mean to Yin Lian... which shows the awkwardness.
Yin Lian didn't care about this awkwardness and just said, "Then I'll ask the teacher to help me." She clasped her hands together and pretended to be cute and said, "With the teacher here, I feel more at ease."
Although the Black Sage certainly does not deny that his disciple looks cute on the outside, one thing is absolutely certain, this girl is definitely not innocent and cute.
He had witnessed Yin Lian's cruelty with his own eyes from the first time they met. At this time, Witch Rei was acting cute like this, and the Black Sage couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.
Then he turned away and said, "With me here, of course you don't have to worry about anything!"
Yin Lian suddenly laughed.
She deliberately approached the Black Sage and turned around to see his expression, but the Black Sage grabbed her arm and refused to let her go around. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and the Black Sage was suddenly surprised: "Are you on drugs? Are you so strong?"
The drug here is of course not drugs, but magic potions. Among alchemical medicines, there are many types of medicines that can make people extremely powerful.
Yin Lian had a black line on his face and said, "It's because of my strength that I didn't use any medicine."
Black Sage: "..."
Even so, Yin Lian finally let go and did not continue to fight with the Black Sage.
Because the festival is about to begin.
The entire festival will last for twelve hours as planned. Starting at ten o'clock, Yin Lian will go on stage to announce the start of the festival, prompting flowers to be sent out all over the city, and then various food stalls will open. Because it is a festival, any food can be tasted for only ten copper coins. Compared with the prices in the Holy City, the price is quite approachable.
In addition, there are also religious activities. Yin Lian provided two things specially prepared for believers in the temple. One was a doctrinal booklet, which described some medical common sense and herbal knowledge. The second was a small paper bag containing a small amount of Onions and garlic, believers can take one away after worshiping, no matter how much they donate.
Because there is no limit to the donation amount, most people are embarrassed to donate too little. Of course, there are also some who are very shameless, who donate a copper coin and want to take one away. Yin Lian also anticipated this situation and told the waiters not to stop it, but to control one person to only take one letter at most.
According to her, donating more or less is a matter of personal preference. The goddess will choose devout believers to bless them. As for these gifts, they are just some benefits of the festival and have nothing to do with the amount of donation.
Although there are some thick-skinned people who will try to take advantage, they are only a minority after all. This is the early stage of the Life Church's settlement in the Holy City, and Yin Lian does not want to cause trouble over such trivial matters.
She has more important things to do.
At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, flowers all over the Holy City suddenly began to bloom at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. The seeds of many flowers were sown by Yin Lian in advance, and she just spent her magic power to promote them.
Although the Holy City is called the Holy City, in fact, there has not been a miracle of this scale for many years. The religion of the Holy City has fallen into a low ebb in recent years, and many religions are stuck in a bottleneck. Half of the reasons are because the current beliefs in the mainland are somewhat saturated, and the other is because many people have become very aware of their resistance to the Church of the Holy City. strong.
On the other hand, the branch churches in various places have diluted the faith of the main church, and the main church, which cannot leave the Holy City, is limited by various reasons and cannot obtain the majority of the faith from various places, resulting in its strength becoming increasingly weakened.
Apart from the Pope, there is probably no one else in the Holy City who can do this kind of divine power to stimulate flowers in a city. And the Pope has not used similar methods for many years - after all, things like divine power are still very precious.
So when Anil smelled the fragrance and saw the flowers blooming on the street at a speed visible to the naked eye, his first reaction was to frown, feeling surprised and wary of the generosity of the Church of Life.
However, after he made a secret investigation, he felt very puzzled by this miracle. The flowers blooming all over the city are indeed very spectacular, but apart from shocking everyone, they do not have much use. In the past, most of the miracles performed by the churches in the Holy City were related to healing diseases and blessings.
However, Yin Lian neither heals people nor blesses them, but only encourages a city to bloom with flowers. Although this power is indeed amazing and in line with the functions of the Goddess of Life, it does not make people feel grateful to her or even believe in the Life Cult.
Anil thought this and felt puzzled by Yin Lian's behavior.
Anil can be considered a smart man, but unfortunately his ideas are inevitably limited to his era. In the final analysis, Yin Lian's purpose of performing this miracle was just an advertisement. Sometimes, "useless" things are the most useful.
In this world, there are some things that have no entity and no exact use, but they have huge power...such as marketing.
Although Yin Lian's miracle has no practical benefits, it can show his own power. It's not that she doesn't have the power to treat illnesses and save people, but she just doesn't want to use it - most people don't cherish things that are too easy to obtain, so she doesn't want to give out favors casually. What she wants to show is her own strength, but she doesn't want to waste it on people she thinks are worthless.
To get anything from her, you have to pay an equal price. Only in this way will people not push themselves too far and cause untimely sexual intercourse... This is Yin Lian's kindness.
So she would rather spend her energy on showing flowers blooming all over the city, but she is not willing to treat illnesses and save people. Distributing free brochures on medical knowledge and commonly used medicinal herbs in temples may not be as effective as using miracles to save people. It is even more fundamental to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
However, in this process, it takes effort to learn medical knowledge, practice and collect medicinal materials. At the same time, collecting the booklets produced by the temple can remind everyone whose favor these are from... which is more beneficial to Yin Lian. .
As expected, Yin Lian's show off of his magical power soon had an effect, and many city residents began to whisper when they saw the flowers blooming all over the city. No matter what thoughts you have about Life Church, seeing the streets full of flowers when you wake up early in the morning can always bring you a good mood.
Therefore, out of curiosity or other reasons, many city residents who were originally reluctant to participate in the festival finally walked out of their homes and began to participate in the festival.
When they arrived at the festival venue, they smelled the aroma of food that they had never smelled before in the festival, and saw the lively scenes they had not seen for a long time. Many people felt lightened for a while and tried to enter. to the temple area.
The next development is a matter of course. As the atmosphere became more and more lively, more and more citizens were infected by the atmosphere and participated in the festival. Even if some people originally refused such an event, nothing can resist the temptation brought by the good weather, flowers and delicious food all over the city.
Especially...these delicacies are still far beyond the previous standards of the Holy City. They are fresh foods that many people have never tried, but the production methods far exceed their previous experience.
Sardesi watched the passers-by excitedly discussing the origin of these foods and snorted. The oncoming aroma was full of temptation, but Sardesi felt that it was like a call from the devil... Sadly, the citizens of the Holy City had fallen into the devil's trap... and could not be saved.
When he realized this, he became more and more certain of the necessity of his action.
With this thought in mind, he walked towards the temple he was once familiar with.
The festival went relatively smoothly. Yin Lian had been preparing for an accident, but it never happened. After the flowers bloom all over the city, the festival begins. For a period of time in the morning, Yin Lian preached the general teachings of the Goddess of Life in the temple.
She didn’t speak a lot, and the content was not in-depth, but her words were vivid, the content was interesting and easy to understand, and it was completely unlike a traditional Mass. As a result, everyone laughed continuously during the speech, and they were quickly moved by what she said. Attracted by the content, he slowly entered a state of fanaticism.
The festival went smoothly and the atmosphere was lively. This lively atmosphere is perfect for people to fish in troubled waters. Although Yin Lian had already strengthened patrols in the city before, the manpower was limited after all, so it was inevitable that there would be areas that could not be taken care of.
After these opportunities were seized by Sardesi, he tried every means to sneak into the city. However, when he wandered into the Temple of the Goddess of Life, he suddenly frowned.
Because he suddenly discovered that there was someone guarding Yin Lian, a person who should have been far away in the capital of sages.
Black Sage! He actually appeared directly in the Holy City!
When she realized this, Sardesi's face completely changed. The existence of the Black Sage undoubtedly added variables to his plan. For this young master with unfathomable strength, even if he uses the Forbidden Curse Scroll Sardesi, he is not sure that he can really kill the opponent in one fell swoop.
In this way, Sardesi never dared to take action until almost dusk. At the end of the day, many people are still mentally excited, but their bodies are already feeling tired.
Then at this time, reinforcements from the church appeared outside the city.
