The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and Ma Wei was sitting at his desk, flipping through the statistics for more than a month, and dealing with the backlog of affairs.
The Truth Church has embarked on the road of rapid development, with many believers joining every day. All this is also due to the correct policies they have adopted and won the hearts of the people. Naturally, there is no shortage of believers.
In addition to the rapid increase in believers, the church's wealth is also gradually growing. Although most of the new believers who join have little money, some civilians with extra money are still willing to spend some coins to support the Church of Truth. This is not mandatory, but purely voluntary.
Coupled with the continuous flow of ruble coupons sent by military nobles, the Church of Truth entered a delicate balance stage and was able to save some money.
The biggest expense is distributing food to the refugees. As long as the war is over and the refugees return to their hometowns, the Church of Truth can use the money to build churches and monasteries in various places. Over time, a virtuous cycle can be formed.
Ma Wei felt that it was not easy to get to this point. He recalled that when he went to New Ross City alone to establish a church in a place he was unfamiliar with, he had extremely great courage. It is impossible for ordinary people to have such courage.
During these three and a half years, he also met a group of companions he could trust, and the church grew stronger.
The reality of his ideal is not far away...
It wasn't until he felt a little hungry that Ma Wei put the quill back into the ink bottle, stretched, and went downstairs to find something to eat.
He cut a piece of bread, spread it with butter, fried two eggs, and made a simple sandwich. While eating, he went to the backyard.
Here, Yunia is sitting on a big rock, holding a handful of cucumber seeds in her hand, and is kneading vigorously.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Hei, who had obviously grown up a lot, were sitting next to her. Not far away, there was a sunflower seedling with its head drooped, wilted and listless. It was probably because the melon seeds had been eaten by someone. Empty.
clatter!
clatter!
"Block!"
"Don't hide!"
"There is a flaw!"
In the open space, Daniel and Lai Wen each held a wooden stick of about the same length and thickness. They were training. Daniel, who was proficient in court swordsmanship, had a sneer on his lips. He could find the flaws in Lai Wen every time, and then hit him hard. Give him a spanking.
A bit like a teacher, but not much.
More like a child taking the opportunity to take revenge.
Lai Wen was beaten by him until he ran away, gnashing his teeth angrily. Finally, he even used the random cloak stick technique, which focused on a non-stop attack. He let Daniel slap him several times, endured the pain, and tried to catch up and blast Daniel.
Daniel was so frightened that he threw away the wooden stick and started fighting with Lai Wen. The two of them struggled with each other, punching and kicking each other.
There is no aristocratic temperament at all.
Highlight an impetuousness.
"Meow, meow, meow! Yes! You slap him in the face, Fourth! Tick him! Tick him hard!"
"Oh! Daniel, how could you hit that place? If you strike too harshly, you will cut off your descendants, meow!"
"Fourth brother, don't imitate him! This is not how fights are fought, meow!"
Xiao Hei, who was watching the battle, was pacing back and forth and shouting anxiously.
"Why is it like fighting with children..."
Ma Wei picked up a pebble and threw it over, stopping their fight that was entirely based on personal grudges and shutting up Xiao Hei who was watching the fun and cheering.
"I won the boss!" Lai Wen said loudly, crossing his legs.
Daniel blinked his blue eyes and spat on the ground: "Bah! You won't win!"
"You two..." Ma Wei held his forehead and sighed: "Can you be more serious and train well?"
"I'm teaching him well! But he got anxious after being slapped twice! You can't blame me!" Daniel said: "If it were a real sword, he would have died eight hundred times!"
"Who is afraid of whom? Use a real sword!"
"Just use it!"
"stop!"
Ma Wei stopped Daniel and Laiwen who wanted to use the real thing, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to use the real thing. You two continue to train with wooden sticks. Laiwen, don't be impatient and study calmly. Daniel, you Don’t take the opportunity to retaliate against the letter, both of you should calm down.”
Lai Wen curled his lips, somewhat reluctantly.
Seeing his appearance, Ma Wei took the last bite of the sandwich, patted the residue on his hands, stepped forward, and whispered: "Do you know why princesses like knights?"
"Why?"
"Because the knight is handsome."
"....Is not this nonsensical?"
"But you have to know what attracted the princess's favor to the knights." Ma Wei said earnestly: "Knights can not only provide the princess with a sense of security, but the swordsmanship they use when fighting is also very beautiful. No one can refuse beauty. thing."
"A thief who only runs away when in danger will not arouse the love of a princess."
"Think about Gulhana, why is she so indifferent to you? In the final analysis, it's because you haven't shown the strength to change her! The next time you see her, if you learn a powerful set of court swordsmanship, she will definitely treat you You’re impressed.”
The author thought about the scene and was quite moved, but still a little confused: "Isn't Gulihana married to the fourth prince Arthur? Although I like married women, it's not good to poach allies. ..."
"Why are you poaching? Who asked you to poach? Gulhana is just a metaphor. Are there no girls like her in the world?" Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "You can definitely attract them by learning palace swordsmanship. !”
"real?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"All right!"
Lai Wen bent down and picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and looked at Daniel seriously: "Come on! Use all the tricks you know!"
Brainwashing successful.
This trick of prescribing the right medicine is really tried and true....
Ma Wei believes that the court swordsmanship that Lai Wen learned today will definitely come in handy one day in the future, and it may be able to save his life. It is important to make up for his shortcomings, especially when facing strange supernatural beings, shortcomings will be Become extremely deadly.
Back in the church, Mavey, who was just about to listen to the confessions of the believers and give them guidance, suddenly saw Christopher running in from the door. Behind him, there were several monks trained by Mavey himself, including Kovalev, Rusoff was among them.
"Father, I have found the person you want."
Christopher said: "They are all monks who I think have great potential. What do you think?"
The new batch of monks are still being trained. Most of the 50 monks trained in the first batch have been sent to the battlefield. As Katerina attacks the city, they also carry out some 'political commissar' work.
Among the first group of monks, Mavey left behind 10 people, including Kovalev and Rusov.
The special organization to be established cannot only have Lai Wen, so Ma Wei must personally select believers with fighting talents to join the special organization and become Lai Wen's subordinates.
The most suitable candidates are of course the monks who have followed Katerina on the battlefield. However, a special organization established for extraordinary beings cannot be all combatants. Clerks are also indispensable.
After experiencing the School of Order incident, Ma Wei realized more and more deeply that ordinary monks cannot deal with extraordinary existences. Only those with strong willpower and firm belief in the truth are qualified to be selected into the special organization.
Like Kovalev and Rusov, their beliefs...well.
They were still determined. They were eroded by the cyan mist. It was good that they didn't immediately defect. They couldn't ask for too much.
Looking at the several members brought by Christopher, Ma Wei, who had taught them and was familiar with their specific situation, selected eight of them, nodded and said: "Starting from today, you have been selected as members of the special organization that will be established by the Church of Truth. Before the special organization is established, you will continue to be responsible for the daily work of the church, but when the special organization is established, you will be independent and led by the monks."
"Special organization?" Kovalev and Rusov looked at each other: "Father, what kind of special organization is it?"
"The Special Operations Department for Extraordinary Beings and Strange Objects, the name of this organization is..."
Ma Wei took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Aurora Club!"
