Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 163: Piety is not absolute, it is absolutely not pious

In the wooden house, the brazier was burning, bringing a touch of light and warmth to the cold winter.

Maisha's face was a little red under the firelight. She looked at the lord with her big blue eyes: "But rumors are just rumors after all. Compared with the image in the rumors, you are actually a very handsome, humble and polite nobleman in reality."

"It shows that many of the rumors in this world are meaningless." The clergy girl Maisha was filled with emotion.

"People are ignorant after all. Some rumors are enough to make them believe them, generalize them, and go down the wrong path." At this moment, Levi seemed to have transformed into a benevolent pope who guided lost lambs. "And this is exactly the meaning of our existence. These ignorant people need our guidance."

"Sir, you are absolutely right!"

Maisha looked excited, as if she had met a soulmate, and couldn't help but praise loudly.

Then she realized that the situation was not right and quickly covered her mouth.

The little heart in the eyes is already visible to the naked eye.

As a clergyman, everything the Baron said hit home with Maisha, making her feel itchy.

In the Ice and Snow Church, as a serving priestess, in addition to practicing ice and snow magic, her daily job is to receive those devout believers and guide them.

At first she was very excited and thought it was an honor to guide kind believers.

But those devout believers completely shattered her beautiful dream.

Greed, laziness, lust, tyranny...

All the bad qualities are perfectly embodied in them.

What completely shattered Maisha's last bit of luck was a middle-aged man who came to the Ice and Snow Church to find her and began to confess, trying to get God's forgiveness.

After listening to him quietly.

Maisha was completely silent. She could no longer hold back her long-term repression and angrily shouted, "God will never forgive you! You damned criminal, hell is your only destination!"

From that day on, she was also banned by the church from taking up the position of guiding believers. This time she came here because the church asked her to atone for her sins.

Her careless words that day brought some bad influence to the church.

From then on, Maisha deeply understood that everyone in the world is ignorant, and the meaning of her existence is to guide these people and prevent them from going on the wrong path.

The Baron's idea completely coincided with hers.

"Ahem, sir, please forgive Maisha's rudeness for saying such things in this situation."

The white-bearded old man in the lead knocked on the table with his cane inlaid with a sapphire, motioned for Maisha to sit back in the chair, and then spoke to Levi with an apologetic look on his face.

Although Maisha wanted to say something, she was only a small clergyman after all, and the old man was her teacher, so she could only sit down dejectedly.

"I don't think Maisha is rude. On the contrary, I think I will have a lot to talk about with her." Levi smiled and looked at the surprised clergy girl, inviting her: "The military camp is very boring. If Miss Maisha is willing to chat with me to relieve her boredom, I will be sincerely happy."

"Sir, I... I'd be happy to." Maisha stuttered a little, and finally said with excitement.

Just as the Baron had said, she also felt that there must be a lot of topics between the two.

Besides, she also wanted to know more about this most famous lord in Bailiu City recently.

"This..." The old man with white beard wanted to say something.

Finally, Fujiro clapped his hands, smiled, and half-jokingly ended the topic, "Sirs, ladies, you can discuss matters concerning believers and faith in private. Now let's get back to the matter of the Wilderness Alliance."

After saying this, he winked at the lord.

Levi responded with an impeccable smile.

"Sir, how come I didn't know that you were a devout believer?" Sikai asked quietly to the lord next to him.

He had always thought that this lord was an unbeliever like him. After all, his normal behavior and the tone of voice when talking about God could not be false in the slightest.

But today's words, if one has not believed in God for three, four, or five years, it is obviously impossible to say such insightful words.

"I am the most devout believer when I need it, Amen."

The lord smiled slightly and made a perfunctory sign of the cross on his chest.

This made Sikai even more confused, and he secretly wondered whether this lord was a believer of the Church of Holy Light or some other god.

After all, as far as he knew, the Holy Light Church did not have such a prayer gesture.

"Regarding this war, I have decided to launch a general offensive the day after tomorrow to completely eliminate this group of wilderness coalition forces."

"The Thorn Legion will be the main attacker, and the Penta Warrior Squad will be the breakthrough team to deal a heavy blow to the enemy at the critical moment." Fujiro roughly described his arrangement, and finally looked at the white-bearded old man very politely: "If we encounter the enemy's spellcaster, then Master Fukin will be in charge."

"You are too polite, sir. Isn't this what we are here for?"

Fu Jin stroked the gem of his cane and smiled.

If the church wants to grow and become stronger, it must establish a good relationship with the Lord of the North so that there will be no resistance.

They have always been very enthusiastic about things like this that can make the other party owe them a favor.

"Sir, you still serve as a support and provide support when you think the time is right." Fujiro looked at Levi.

"Okay." Levi nodded.

Then there were some meaningless topics that made the lord drowsy.

"So from now on, this battle depends entirely on you."

Finally, Fujiro stood up, put his hands on his chest and bent slightly.

The people present were all non-staff members of the Legion of Thorns and not affiliated with him, so it was completely understandable that he expressed his gratitude.

"Master Fu Jin, if you don't mind, you can go to my camp and have some hot tea. Although it's not as good as the one here in Fujiro, it has its own unique flavor."

Levi stood up and invited with a smile.

The Lord has always been a player who catches everyone in one swoop and leaves no trace.

Since I have chosen to build good relations with these priests, I will naturally not let any of them go.

Seeing Maisha's pleading eyes, Fu Jin sighed helplessly and nodded: "Sir, this is our honor."

To be honest, this Lord Li is very famous. In Bailiu City, even children know his name.

Naturally, Fu Jin had also heard of it.

But he just smiled and didn't comment on those rumors. After all, how could the images of a three-headed, eight-armed dragon slayer be true? They were just to deceive some fools.

But he really didn't expect that he would be so young and handsome.

Judging from his polite appearance just now, you can't tell at all that he is a vain person who likes fame.

It seems that for some unknown reason, people in the world have a lot of slander and prejudice against this lord.
