Chapter 9 Jia Xiu, the True Practitioner of Fraud Doctrine

At noon, Jia Xiu left the cave with the farewell of all the cultists.

With their hopes, they set out to complete the great cause of deceiving people into contributing their faith to the god of fraud and curse.

Jia Xiu had never been to the mountains and forests outside Ximu Town. The smell of the grass and trees was very fresh, and he was very hungry.

He originally planned to have a meal in the cult's den before leaving, but after looking at their black bread with pickles, he just couldn't bring himself to eat it.

I felt a brief sympathy for these cultists for a second.

However, no matter how miserable their lives were, the crime of sacrificing living people is still unforgivable.

After summoning the undead, these cultists must bear the consequences.

But before all of this, eat.

Jia Xiu did not walk back to Ximu Town foolishly, but teleported directly back to the laboratory.

The barbecue restaurant I wanted to eat at was usually out of the best meat at this time, so I just had a bite in the association's cafeteria.

Several major guilds in Ximu Town are built together, adventurers, spellcasters, craftsmen...

These associations raised funds to build a cafeteria, which was open to staff and members.

Of course, it's not free.

A glass of juice, a bowl of mashed potatoes, a plate of greens and a portion of spaghetti bolognese with just a little bit of minced meat cost 5 herre.

He definitely couldn't afford it before.

But now it’s different. The money Margaret gave him is enough for him to eat whatever he wants in the town. He is preparing for the exam and cannot treat himself badly.

Besides, he wants to start a business, and if the cult "escape room" is successful, he should be able to make a lot of money.

After leaving the cafeteria, Jia Xiu went to borrow the association's communication crystal and sent a question to his dear mentor.

"Teacher, what method can I use to establish a connection with an undead spirit and, assuming that the undead spirit is relatively strong, control it?"

send.

Margaret saw that after some time, Jia Xiu stopped waiting for a reply in front of the crystal ball.

He left the association and returned to Aunt Susan's tailor shop.

Now we need to solve the problem of customer source for the cult escape project.

Jia Xiu always feels a little embarrassed when he returns to the tailor shop now, but it’s not because his relationship with Aunt Susan has faded.

On the contrary, his relationship with his aunt was still very good, but Susan was a little too proud of his winning the award, even prouder than he was.

Aunt Susan simply put his portrait on the window as an advertising sign.

Although I don’t know what the connection is between the sorcerer and the tailor shop, Jia Xiu is now a small celebrity in the town, so it makes sense to use it for advertising.

Every time I come back and see my face in the window, I always tap my toes.

Jia Xiu really wanted to know how those celebrities managed not to feel embarrassed when they saw their endorsements all over the streets.

In addition, Aunt Susan always mentions her award to everyone she meets.

Customer: “Are there any new and nice materials recently?”

Aunt Susan: "Hey, how did you know that our store's Jia Xiu won the Ximu Town Outstanding Young Spellcaster Award?"

Jia Xiu felt like a 60-pound bluefin bream, and Aunt Susan was the fisherman who had successfully caught him.

This incident would become the central theme of all her conversations for quite some time.

Jia Xiu came to the door of the tailor shop carrying a box of desserts.

Desserts should be the universal gift of this world. This is the rule he summed up. There are only people who particularly like sweet food and people who lie that they don’t particularly like sweet food.

After a few seconds of mental preparation, I tried my best to avoid the portrait in the window and pushed open the door.

"Aunt Susan..."

"Oh, it's Jia Xiu who's back. Why did you bring any gifts?"

Aunt Susan was visibly happy and walked up to give Jia Xiu a hug.

"Your shop will be renamed Jia Xiu Tailor Shop sooner or later."

There was another person in the store, Peggy, Susan's sister, who ran a hotel in town.

"I'm willing to give it to him, but Jia Xiu doesn't want it. He wants to be a great wizard in the future, so how can he be a tailor?"

"Um, Auntie, I'm a warlock, not a wizard."

Jia Xiu corrected quietly.

"Almost, almost."

In Susan's opinion, all spellcasting professions are the same thing, at most they believe in different things.

"Hello, Aunt Peggy."

Jia Xiu greeted Susan's sister politely.

"I just happened to come back because I had something to ask my aunt to take me to see you. I didn't expect you to be here. Let me tell you right here. I have a big business to discuss."

Then, Jiaxiu told Peggy about his cult escape tourism project.

"In short, all the links are now in place."

In fact, none of them are appropriate.

"This is a business deal from the Spellcaster Academy of Saint Delo, the City of All Laws. My mentor, the Grand Mage, Ms. Margaret, has asked me to do."

Margaret didn't know about this.

"Once we officially start operating, all that's left is for you to promote your hotel to tourists. For every tourist you attract, I can give you a commission of 3 herre."

Jia Xiu planned to charge 20 hertz for a single ticket, which is acceptable to foreign tourists as they have money.

"More than that, two Hers will be enough."

Aunt Susan interjected.

Paige looked shocked, "I'm your sister, and you're trying to undercut my price?"

"I'm doing this for justice. Xiao Jiaxiu just started his business. What if he gets cheated by you?"

Peggy was speechless.

"Okay, two hertz is two hertz."

After a few pleasantries, Jia Xiu said goodbye to Sister Susan.

Now that we have the customer source channel, we just need the last sucker, no, the last partner.

To avoid being discovered as a genuine cult, Jia Xiu decided to follow the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place: to seek cooperation with the Church of Light.

Not only can it endorse tourism projects, but it can also provide the final link of the entire experience.

After being frightened in the eerie, scary and strange cult cave, wouldn't it be nice to go to the church of the Holy See of Light to pray and be baptized?

So, Jia Xiu went to the Church of Light in the town.

……

“May the Holy Light bless you and protect you;

“May the Holy Light shine upon you and grant you grace;

"May the holy light converge upon you and grant you peace."

In the Church of Light in Ximu Town, Pastor Carl is carrying out the last part of the activity, blessing.

A sparse response came from below, "Light!"

All believers then left in an orderly manner.

Looking at the backs of the believers leaving, the pastor sighed.

As a missionary sent here by the Holy See, his work did not go smoothly.

Although there are churches and a fixed number of believers, the faith they provide is not significant.

The people in Ximu Town are already very busy just living, and they don't have much time to pray.

He understands the local situation, but who can understand him?

If this situation continued, he might be a pastor in Riverwood for the rest of his life.

Although this kind of life is not bad, he also wants to be closer to the Holy Light and he also wants to make progress.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was still one person in the church who had not left.

It was Jia Xiu, the guy from Susan's tailor shop. I had never seen him here before.

He's a very nice guy, smart and studious, but his way of using healing skills is a bit strange.

But it doesn't matter. As long as he is willing to accept the illumination of the Holy Light, the Holy Light will accept anyone.

Carl walked towards Jia Xiu.

"Child, are you here to seek the guidance of the Holy Light?"

"Holy Father," Jia Xiu said, one thing that annoyed him about the Church of Light was that they automatically treated everyone as superior and called everyone children. "I have come to seek the guidance of the Holy Light for more people."

Hearing Jia Xiu's words, Carl's hands holding the scriptures involuntarily tightened.

"The Holy Light welcomes anyone who needs guidance, but where are they?"

"Is such that……"

Jia Xiu explained his travel plans and emphasized that the final step would be to go to the church to pray.

Karl frowned.

This turned out to be a business.

It was not what he wanted most, not a devout believer, but a temporary belief, but having faith was better than having no faith at all.

Carl had never negotiated business before, and had only heard of such things from some businessmen who came to confess. It seemed that the first step should be to negotiate the price?

"What is the price for Holy Light guiding one person?"

he asked tentatively.

Jia Xiu also frowned.

what's the situation.

Is this pastor so direct? He didn't even go through the formalities, didn't even exchange a few pleasantries, and just asked about the price.

But the Holy See of Light is not a pitiful little sect with less than ten members in a remote mountain village.

We can't afford to offend the serious big forces.

Jia Xiu thought about it and pretended to be embarrassed and asked for a lower price to prevent the pastor from asking for an exorbitant price right away.

"How about 5 Hercules per person?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jia Xiu saw the other person's face turned serious.

He thought to himself that it was bad, he might have to pay a heavy price today. His bottom line was that he would not make any profit, as long as he could summon the undead.

But the pastor didn't offer any price.

Just tell me how much you want.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Jia Xiu decided to take the initiative to raise the price to 8 hertz.

Suddenly, Carl spoke.

"too expensive."

"Too what?" Jia Xiu didn't react for a moment.

"Five herds per person is too expensive. Riverwood Town's contribution is limited. I can't afford it."

Carl said this very sincerely.

"However, I can give you this as a substitute for the original price."

He took out a string of amulets.

Jia Xiu took a look.
