Roland didn't want to get to the bottom of it, but he vaguely felt that the relationship between the elves and the druids was not that simple.

The guests of honor took their seats respectively.

Whether it was intentional or a coincidence, Roland and Egilina were sitting at opposite ends of the dining table, while Agnis and Ruit were sitting across from each other.

They didn't want to look at each other's faces, but they couldn't avoid it, so they could only let their eyes unfocused and just look at the air.

The exquisite and light dishes were served. They were not rich, but they were in line with the eating habits of the two religious people.

Roland came prepared for this negotiation.

You have to make your guests’ stomachs feel comfortable first before talking about things that make their blood pressure uncomfortable.

Although the dishes were exquisite and carefully prepared, the two distinguished guests were preoccupied and the food tasted bland.

Seeing that the two of them were not in the mood to eat, they just took a few hasty bites to show politeness. Roland didn't force himself. He immersed himself in the meal and was full.

Negotiation is a physical job.

Wracking your brains consumes physical energy, thinking about countermeasures consumes physical strength, and arguing with each other consumes physical strength.If the conversation breaks down, the physical exertion will be even greater.

How can we talk if we are not full?

The two distinguished guests had a brief taste, and he was full of food and drink, and he won three points first in terms of momentum.

A middle-aged and elderly female servant came in to take away the dishes and closed the door from the outside.

After the escape of Julie and Lanna, Roland no longer trusted maids. Instead, he hired several old men and women from the territory to serve as servants or gatekeepers.

These people have happy families and have been rooted in the local area for several generations. They are old Minhausen people with strong roots. Although they are poor, old and dull, and not very efficient in doing things, they are loyal.

Old men and women are bored staying at home. It is rare to have a job that is not too heavy and the salary is high, so naturally they are very happy, and their service attitude is as loving as treating their own little grandson.

In this way, the servants in the Viscount's castle became the "Sunset Red" team.

The Sunset Red team has a warm service attitude and superb business skills. Except that they are a little older and cannot do the physical work of resisting enemy invasion, they are far better than the delicate little maid.

Their children and grandchildren are all local and cannot escape at all.Roland can feel confident using it.

There is no need for them to defend against the enemy.

If anyone dares to cause trouble, Melanie and Granny will make them regret their lives.

Watching the old maid leave, Yanis asked casually with some curiosity: "Roland, I see that your castle is full of grandparents. Don't you have a maid at home?"

"Who said no? Isn't Grandma Nia who came in just now to deliver the food the maid?"

Yanis: "..."

She just said it casually and opened the topic in a coy way, but she didn't expect Roland's serious answer.

Grandma Nia is a woman and a servant. There is nothing wrong with calling her a maid.

But such a unique maid is quite explosive when looking at the entire world of Tiamat.

Yanis was choked to the point of being speechless. Ruit put down the tea cup and praised softly in a rich voice full of magnetism:

"Lord Roland, your territory has given me so many surprises. The environment here is beautiful, people love nature, and you respect the elderly so much that I am impressed."

"Thank you, Mr. Ruit. I'm a little embarrassed by what you said."

Roland said calmly: "The forest is well preserved but it is too difficult to develop. Rather than spending a lot of money to develop it, it is better to leave it alone. As long as man-made destruction is reduced, the trees will grow on their own."

"It is a helpless move to use the elderly to work because I was betrayed by a maid before and I am really scared. I feel relieved to ask them to work because they can also make money to support the family. It is a win-win situation."

It is not a secret that the maid defected. He believes that both of them know that it is better to be open and honest than to hide it.

Anyone who knows how to lie knows that every lie is the stupidest thing, and it is common to have both truth and lies. A true expert in lying must win the trust of the other party with sincerity, and only use BBC methods to edit part of the truth at critical moments.

As long as trust is established, even a lie can be misleading.

This is the real lie.

Yanis and Ruit are not stupid. If they want to provoke them into a fight, they can see through it at a glance and will probably join forces to beat him up.

Never underestimate anyone.The people sent out by religious organizations to handle matters are never fools.

Sincerity is the greatest nirvana.

After hearing Roland's introduction, Yanis couldn't help laughing, and she glanced at Ruit provocatively.

Even if you say something crooked, can you do it?

Ruit's expression did not change at all, and he even clapped, "Brother Roland is right, not man-made destruction is the best way to protect nature."

Maybe it was bad luck, or maybe he went out without looking at the day. Just when Ruit took over the topic smoothly, the sound of trees being cut down came from the forest.

The giant ax hit the trees, making a dull sound that echoed in the forest.

The four people here have excellent hearing and heard everything clearly.

silence.

Just as Luit was thinking about how to break the silence and make Roland lean towards the Brotherhood, a towering tree was knocked down.

The heavy tree trunk hit the ground with a loud noise.

This time even Egilina couldn't hold back.

Granny, this guy, won't participate in the banquet if there is no meat, and runs out to relax.

If you want to relax, why bother cutting down trees?

Didn't you know that an archdruid is visiting your home today?

Roland was too arrogant towards her, and something would happen sooner or later if this continued.It's not the right time today. I'll talk to Roland later.

Seeing that Mr. Ruit's face was a bit ugly, Roland also felt that it was a bit too much and explained with a smile:

"That's the Black Rock Knight under my command. Mr. Ruit, as long as the climate is good, the trees in the forest will grow uncontrollably. The dense trees will block the sunlight and hinder the growth of small trees. So we will regularly cut down some redundant trees. , allowing trees to maintain appropriate density.”

Ruyter suddenly realized. He gave a thumbs up again and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Roland also pursues the principle of balance. Our brother's attitude towards nature is to maintain balance. If Brother Roland refuses to join, I will be very angry. Pity."

This was said in a flawless manner, which shows that this just man is not rigid.

Before Roland could speak, Yanis jumped out to object.

The more she looked at Ruit, the more she disliked him. He snatched people in front of her. What did he think of her?

"No, absolutely not! I have reached an agreement with Roland. His territory must believe in the goddess of light!"

Ruit did not get angry with him, but just smiled and looked at Roland.

"Brother Roland, the Brotherhood will never interfere in the internal affairs of the territory. It will also send Nature Houses to help with the construction of the territory and popularize education. It is not as extreme as some religions."

He never mentioned the Temple of Light, but never left the Temple of Light. Yanis was a little angry.

Who are you calling extreme?Agnes didn't like hearing this.

This does not refer to the mulberry tree scolding the locust tree, this is clearly insulting the mulberry tree in person!

Besides, the Holy Temple of Light only requires believers to have firm beliefs, follow instructions, abide by precepts, pray on time, buy amulets for immunity, support clergy, participate in free labor, and obey military service dispatches. It's not that extreme, right?

Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Roland quickly came out to persuade them to make peace.

If these two guys were to fight, the castle would be proud. They must not be allowed to fight.

"You two, I have a question. Why do you believe in the goddess? Let's not talk about brainwashing. I want to hear the real reason."

Yanis and Ruit understood what Roland meant, so don't say anything to deceive ordinary people, it would be beneficial.

He spread his hands to ask for benefits so openly. This guy is really shameless.

Agniss secretly lowered her evaluation of Roland from S level to A+, while Ruit's evaluation of Roland directly increased from A- to S level.

No matter how many shortcomings he has, as long as he is honest, nothing will go wrong.

Just as the two of them were thinking about what conditions they should offer to Roland, Roland smiled and said: "You two, do you think I am asking for benefits?"

Yanis and Luit did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"I will find a way to get what I want, and I will never beg!"

"But ordinary people are different. If you want them to believe in religion, you have to come up with something real."

"I have a suggestion. You each choose an area within my territory to preach freely. Whoever they accept will be my faith."

"What if it's about the same?" Yanis and Ruit asked in unison.

Although they wished each other would disappear, they respected each other's abilities and believed that there was a chance of a tie.

Some things must be asked first.

"That's easy. I believe in two goddesses at the same time."

Roland's expression was calm, and he casually said something that stunned the two clergymen and made their world view explode.

Chapter 29 A monster with a background

How to Anger the Pious Clergy.

Ask for benefits?no.

Of course, claiming to believe in other gods in front of her/him.

Roland succeeded in angering two people who could kill him on the spot with one sentence, but he remained calm and calm without changing his expression.

He was calm, but others couldn't be calm.

"Infidel, you are blaspheming!"

"Brother Roland, if you say this, it will be difficult for me to do it."

"Roland, stop talking nonsense and apologize to Yanis and Ruit!"

Yanis, Luit and Egilina spoke out almost at the same time.

Faced with the different attitudes of the three people, Roland asked calmly: "Blasphemy? Am I blaspheming the goddess or who?"

"Of course she is a goddess! Failure to have firm faith is the greatest blasphemy!"

"Who says it's not firm? I believe in all the gods of the order camp, so that's not firm?" Roland spoke plausibly.

This time even Egilina was frightened.

She quickly crossed the long table, flew up and covered Roland's mouth.

"You are crazy, you dare to say such nonsense!"

She meant well, of course Roland understood, but he still shook his head firmly and moved her hand away.

"I would like to ask, which god sends an oracle and is not allowed to believe in other gods at the same time?"

The three were silent at the same time.

This is really not.

It is customary not to believe in more than one god.The reason why no one questions it is because those who questioned it are dead.

But Roland asked seriously about the source, but no one could provide reliable evidence.

Looking at the silent trio, Roland said calmly: "You see, anything can be done without any prohibition by the gods. Since the gods have not explicitly prohibited this behavior, then it is your own rules."

Egilina looked up at the sky and was about to cry. Roland's words were really outrageous, but she and they were on the same side and she couldn't refute it.

Yanis narrowed her eyes, bit her lips, and said nothing.

When a statement is too outrageous, it can be difficult to find the right words to refute it.

Her brain was confused.

Only Ruyter's expression was still calm. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Roland, there are two possibilities for not finding the source. The first is that the gods don't mind, and the second is that it is too old to find the original source. in accordance with."

"If it's the latter, the wrath you'll face will come directly from the gods."

Roland snapped his fingers. This was what he was waiting for.

Even if Ruit doesn't say anything, he will find a way to guide.

I have to say that this archdruid talks much more kindly than Pastor Yanis.

The core members of the Brotherhood have equal status, and the Archdruid speaks well. There must be many talents in the organization, and Roland prefers the Brotherhood in his heart.

It's a pity that brother Ruit ran a little slower, he had already promised to Yanis.

Roland's attitude tendencies could be seen by everyone present.
