"I want to first select twenty smart and capable cats to teach our truth and teachings. After the training is completed, let them work in pairs and go to surrounding cities to preach."
At noon, Ma Wei, who had just had dinner, took a walk in the yard with Fat Orange. While digesting the food, they discussed issues about the cat missionary.
"Yes, this method is indeed the simplest and most reliable." Ma Wei nodded in agreement.
The plan given by Fat Orange was exactly what he wanted. There is no need to rush into preaching, especially the stray cats in other cities. If you want to make them obey, the cat missionaries sent out must have certain fighting ability, otherwise they can only rely on one person. It is difficult to survive in the animal world with your mouth open.
"Are there many cats that meet the requirements?"
"Quite a lot." Fat Jue replied: "New Ross City is a port city with relatively developed fisheries and abundant food. The number of stray cats is usually more than that in small cities. Not only are they strong in size, but competition is also fierce. , Anyone who can dominate a certain street and have countless beautiful cats has a few brushes."
Recalling the rainy night three years ago when Fat Orange was seriously injured, Ma Wei nodded with deep understanding.
Before receiving the Goddess's gift, Fat Orange's combat prowess was already considered to be among the top among cats. The strength of an opponent who could injure him to such an extent should not be underestimated.
now...
These powerful cats, tempted by the buffet of dried fish and canned food, lowered their noble heads one after another, sticking to Ma Wei's side and meowing every day, completely lacking the arrogance of the big brother on the street.
Fighting is for food, acting cute is also for food, eating is not shabby!
Rather, since joining the church and becoming a believer in the goddess, many cats have grown in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming much fatter than before.
Although fat equates to combat effectiveness, their muscles and experience have not diminished at all!
In this case, body size becomes an effective increase in combat power.
"I want to focus on selecting those cats who were once street bullies and let them become missionaries." Fat Orange hesitated: "But there is another problem. Just talking is not enough. I want to make cats in other cities believe in the goddess. , we must provide substantial benefits, that is, canned fish, etc. In this way, we must ensure that someone in other cities is responsible."
"Um..."
Ma Wei thought for a while and said: "There are not many members in the Church of Truth, and it is currently unable to expand on a large scale. However, if we are just distributing funds, we can go to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and Mr. Sean. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has someone, and Mr. Sean has someone in his name." A marine trading company, fishing is one of its businesses. If we talk to him, the problem of dried and canned small fish should be solved, and the price may be lowered..."
As long as His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is willing to help, it is not a problem at all to arrange for two or three people to distribute food and funds to cats in other cities.
Of course, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will not be able to pay for the expenses of the cats. With the existing funds and assets of the Truth Church, he can afford to raise ten thousand cats.
As long as Aaron moves quickly enough, the Truth Church's capital chain will soon be able to flow. With Morgan's clothing store, winery, stock and gold mining business, profits will be made sooner or later.
"By the way, the Cat Legion is now quite large. There are more than a thousand cats. You and Xiao Hei can still cope with it. But in the future, the number of cats will definitely increase. We must plan the distribution of duties in advance. Otherwise there will be chaos.”
"I know."
Fat Orange pondered and said: "I plan to use military positions to divide them. I will borrow the system of the Kingdom of Windsor. Lieutenants, captains, etc., give cats different positions according to their abilities, with clear rewards and punishments, and then formulate a "Cat Constitution". Implement cat-friendly management.”
"Do you need my help?"
"Just provide me with a specific military system and a copy of the Magna Carta issued by the Kingdom of Windsor. I will figure out the rest myself. You don't understand the problems with cats."
Ma Wei doesn't like the words 'you don't understand'. He feels that this sentence fundamentally denies the other party and can easily arouse the other party's disgust and resentment, but...
For some reason, when Fat Orange said, "You don't understand," he wasn't angry at all, but felt it was natural.
How can a human understand cats better than cats?
In front of Fat Orange...
He really doesn't understand cats.
"How are the injuries on your body? Does it still hurt?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just a flesh wound." Fat Orange said lightly: "As long as the cat army expands to surrounding cities, we won't have to do it ourselves for future mouse hunting invitations. We can just leave it to other cats to handle it. We can earn We will divide the money 30-70."
"Who's seven and who's three?"
Fat Orange glanced at him: "Are you embarrassed to ask this question?"
Ma Wei smiled angrily and said: "Ahem... I'm just asking... I didn't really take 70%... By the way, what do you need money for? Buy cans?"
"Half is used to reward the cats, pay them wages, and distribute them according to their work. The other half is saved as start-up capital in the future."
"What start-up capital?"
"Don't worry about it, I have my own plan."
The sound of ruts outside the yard interrupted Ma Wei's question. It was a series of dull noises, accompanied by the squeaking sound of the axle. It must have carried a lot of heavy cargo, and there was more than one.
Looking at Fat Orange, Ma Wei returned to the church from the side door and ran into the excited letter.
"Boss!" Laiwen said happily: "I brought Tiffany and the others!"
Hearing the sound upstairs, Yunia also ran down. She hid behind Ma Wei, stuck her head out, and curiously looked at Tiffany and others who walked into the church.
"Well done, Brother Laiwen."
Patting Lai Wen on the shoulder, Ma Wei looked at Tiffany, who was walking towards him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the other party raised his arm, as if to slap him.
Ma Wei did not dodge, but just stood there and looked at Tiffany quietly.
After all, the slap did not fall. Tiffany found Yunia hiding behind Ma Wei. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said: "You are not allowed to bully our leader, do you hear me? Otherwise I will not let you go!" "
Lai Wen, who was looking forward to it, lowered his head in disappointment.
"How could I bully him?" Ma Wei shrugged and said: "Brother Laiwen is now a well-deserved mainstay of the Church of Truth. I am very grateful for his joining. As a companion and friend, maybe we will occasionally make a little joke. But bullying never happens.”
Tiffany's expression softened slightly and she nodded: "Then hurry up, we have to rush to Watford City and there will be a performance tomorrow night."
As for what Cirque du Soleil was going to do on the tour, I had already talked about it two or three times on the way back, so there was no need to emphasize it again.
Ma Wei took out the list of believers and said: "Write your name, press your fingerprints, and then be baptized. In this way, you will officially become believers of the Truth Church."
Tiffany was the first to step forward, first wrote her name on the list, then took out the dagger, separated the skin of her fingertips, and pressed hard on the name.
"Treading on the Stars"
"Tiffany Tassi, in the name of the priest, I baptize you."
Ma Wei picked up a bowl of blessed holy water, flicked his fingers, and sprinkled the holy water on Tiffany's body, once on the front, back, and left, with a solemn and solemn expression, unsmiling.
With Tiffany taking the lead, other group members stepped forward one after another to be baptized by the priest in order. Mawei did not cut corners and strictly followed the procedures for each baptism.
The last group member to be baptized was Gina.
She walked to the table, wrote down her name, and pressed her fingerprints. After Mavisa passed the holy water, she suddenly said: "Miss Gina, please come with us."
"good."
After letting Tiffany and others sit quietly for a while, Mavey took Gina into the small door on the side of the statue, took out a copied "Book of Truth" from the drawer, and handed it to Gina.
"I think Brother Wen has told you in detail about the gods."
"Yes, Father."
Gina held the "Book of Truth", lowered her forehead, and said piously: "I would like to follow the goddess of truth, Yunia, and become her most loyal believer, regardless of life or death, without any regrets..."
After saying that, a ray of crimson light flew out from between her eyebrows and went straight into Yunia's body.
The vows she made were sincere, and the power of her faith was much deeper than that of most believers.
All of this is inseparable from Lai Wen. Gina trusted him the most, and even the belief that Lai Wen followed became her firm belief.
This situation is very rare, only one in ten thousand.
At Ma Wei's signal, Yunia stretched out her little hand and touched Gina's eyebrows. The red light flashed away, giving her the gift of the goddess.
Feeling the magic power emerging from her body, Gina opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at her hands over and over, full of disbelief.
Hearing about it through hearsay and personal contact are completely different feelings.
"Gina, this is for you."
Ma Wei took out the golden magic circle made in the blacksmith shop and handed it to her. He briefly introduced: "It can activate space shuttle magic, input magic power in the forward direction, and mark a location within 50 meters. Input magic power and you will be teleported there instantly. Remember, if there is no mark, the magic will not take effect. The usable distance is 1 kilometer. Beyond this range, it will also not take effect."
After listening to the instructions, Gina immediately started trying it. She held the magic circle tightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated on it.
Uh-huh!
Her body suddenly disappeared, appeared in the corner of the study, and then disappeared, disappeared, disappeared again...
10 minutes later...
"Gina, it's almost done!"
The letter said impatiently: "Why are you addicted to playing?"
Uh-huh!
Gina appeared in front of him, ignoring the trace of sweat on her forehead, and said with bright eyes: "Teacher, with this, I can inherit your will and become the second generation Rose Phantom Thief!"
Seeing the surprised smile on her face, Lai Wen's eyes darkened and he reprimanded: "If this is your idea, I advise you to give up on it as soon as possible."
"Teacher?" Gina said blankly, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Any magic has flaws, and it is not invincible. If you underestimate the enemy, you will be completely defeated!" The message said coldly: "I missed the enemy because I underestimated the enemy. If the person who caught me was not the Boss, but other enemies, I would have been defeated long ago. His head is missing! Do you remember what I told you? As a Phantom Thief, once you fail, you must stop, this is the rule!"
With a shiver in her heart, Gina glanced at Ma Wei and nodded heavily: "I understand, teacher, I will proceed with caution."
"Also, promise me something."
"Teacher, tell me."
"If you meet Sherlock Holmes, please give him a good kick in the ass."
"ah?"
"Personal grudges, just kick them out."
"oh...."
"Keep your mission in mind." Lai Wen hugged her heavily and said reluctantly: "If you have any problems, just discuss it with Tiffany. When you encounter difficulties that you are not sure you can handle, you must choose to retreat. Don't show off. Don't imitate me. You will be punished...if you are bullied, come back and I will support you, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Lai Wen let go of his arms, grinned hard, and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Go...Tiffany and the others are still waiting for you."
