Eryi, who possesses noble qualities, is listening to Moira describe Kayas's current situation.
The Plane Healing Station had already been upgraded to level nine, and the upgrade requirements for level ten are as follows.
Turnover:8 million/8 million
Number of people treated: 100,000/100,000
The number of believers reaches 100,000: 20,841/100,000
Ps: After the Plane Healing Station system is upgraded to level ten, the system will be able to provide an invincible state in planes of level A and below.
Eryi grasped a crucial message from Moira's description: "You mean, you hope to make Maria the state religion of your country?" It sounded like it would rapidly increase the number of her followers. Now that she possessed a system not available to most people, allowing her to freely travel between planes, Eryi naturally wanted to explore different worlds. B-level planes already offered so many resources, let alone A-level planes.
"Yes, there may be counterattacks from Boyle's followers. But as I said before, I will devote my faith to you and stay by your side until the situation stabilizes." Moira is confident in her own strength. On the continent of Nadus, except for some special races, no one can surpass her for the time being.
Eryi wasn't afraid of this. With her advanced protective shield and healing station system, no one could harm her, not even the gods themselves.
"Come back tomorrow afternoon and I'll give you an answer then."
Royal capital.
Bernice had just secured a good piece of land for the church in another city, and she was ready to expand her faith to other surrounding areas.
The housekeeper was reporting to her about what had happened in Sunset City. She was a little worried about Eryi not coming back for so long. She had been paying special attention to the situation at the treatment station recently.
"Moira Cecil led her soldiers to Sunset City, their final destination being the Healing Station."
"She told our Divine Guide..."
"What does she mean?" Bernice closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. "She just did something so big. She personally cut off the head of the previous monarch and drove away the gods. Let me guess..."
The attendant walked into the study: "A letter from Sunset City."
Bernice opened her eyes, and the butler came forward, took the letter from the servant, and handed it to her.
"Looks like I don't need to guess."
As soon as Bernice opened the envelope, a small magic stone fell out of it: "What is this? It looks a little familiar." She put the magic stone aside and began to check the letter.
The letter was a bit long, and the first paragraph told her she could learn a new prayer: Restoration. The specific incantation could be received using the included Phonograph Stone.
Then comes the story of Moira Cecil.
"Sure enough, it's almost what I guessed." Bernice put the letter aside and took out a piece of paper to write back to Eryi.
"Pack your things, I'm going back tomorrow."
Eryi was sorting out information in the house. As the number of believers increased, the total amount of faith power also increased to a certain extent.
During her absence, the number of people applying to become part-time priests at the Healing Inn increased again. The applications had already piled up, and she had to find time for these newcomers to take the Holy Element affinity test and sign the contract.
Several adventurers who have been on duty for more than 150 hours and are able to obtain protective shields have appeared. She has already assigned the skills in the system, but has not yet given them the skills.
She thought about it and posted their names on the bulletin board in the priests' exclusive lounge, asking them to learn from the resident priest Harold.
Just as she was about to inquire about the priests' affiliations, she received a letter from Bernice, which outlined some precautions. If Eryi had any intention of developing, she would fully support him.
Eryi accurately discovered a favorable condition.
In order to promote the faith and become a national deity, you will receive 3% of the country's tax revenue as a donation. In addition, the church site required for promotion will be provided by the country.
"008," Eryi's eyes were drawn to the words on the letter: "How much can 3% of national tax revenue really make?"
[Replying to the host, Ling Ling Ba doesn't know the answer to this question either.]
After Harold got up, he quickly cleaned himself up, put on his custom-made priest robe and walked out of the house. The aunt of the neighbor across the street got up to boil water to prepare a premature baby for her family. When she saw him, she greeted him warmly.
"Good morning," Harold replied cheerfully.
Harold was tall, strong, and somewhat fierce-looking, but gentle in nature. He had been a priest at the Healing Station for nearly three months. Before being recruited by Eryi, he made a living growing flax outside Sunset City and had been unable to find a romantic partner.
He had not yet moved from outside the city into Sunset City. In order to be on time for work, he had to get up more than an hour earlier than the priests in the city every day.
Harold had a good learning ability. As a resident priest, he had learned all the skills he could and occasionally served as an instructor in the church, guiding some new priests and correcting their pronunciation.
Some time ago, their god guide issued a notice in the priests' lounge, telling all priests that they could recruit subordinates for themselves.
As the person with the second highest status in the church after Eryi, Qiao Li soon got his two subordinates, who were said to be guardian knights sent to him by the nobles of his hometown.
Apart from anything else, these two guardian knights are first-rate in appearance and have good fighting capabilities, making them particularly impressive when taken out.
Monica, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, treats the guards at home as her subordinates.
Monica might have inherited her father's talent for business. Just by drinking tea, visiting relatives, and interacting with various ladies every day, she could bring in a large amount of donations to the church. Her priestly robes were flashy, but no one had ever said anything about her.
Mapel, a former middle-aged housewife and victim of domestic violence, has become incredibly popular among the common people. Her gentle nature makes her a perfect listener. Her sometimes unexplained "Yes, Maria is with you," can be a source of courage for many. While she claims to have no need for subordinates, she already has several adventurers circling her.
She often encounters different believers when she goes out, and it seems that she will soon have her own subordinates.
Harold had no subordinates; he wasn't good at that. He had just blessed himself with a few prayers and was now running faster than a charging wild boar with a stab in its rear.
One day, he suddenly had an idea and applied the prayers he used for his subordinates to himself.
Then he found that his movements became lighter and his already considerable strength increased, and he could easily smash the stone into pieces with his bare hands.
Last time, he subdued a mad bull for the village. When the first-level monster's horn stabbed at him, everyone thought he would be pierced through. However, he had cast a protective shield beforehand, so the puncture only scratched the skin a little. With the help of his own healing skills, the wound quickly healed to normal.
From then on, the villagers' attitude towards him changed from being indifferent and keeping a distance to being warm and respectful.
As Harold ran easily towards Sunset City, he began to think about moving.
The place where he lives now is indeed quite far from Sunset City. Even with blessings and prayers, it still takes an hour to get there.
He recently met a kind and resolute woman named Judy at a treatment center. Despite enduring numerous setbacks, including the death of her parents, she single-handedly carries the weight of her family and her younger sister. Harold is considering pursuing her, as she has many suitors, and as a colleague at the treatment center, he believes he has a good chance.
I just live a little far away.
…
Harold ate the breakfast provided by Mrs. Eddy and looked for the task assigned to him on the notice board.
He looked at the names and nodded. He recognized these part-time priests. They reported to the Healing Station almost daily in order to obtain the Healing Skill as soon as possible. However, they were only qualified to learn the Protective Shield, which was quite good—he had used it himself and had given it a good review.
After officially starting work, Harold found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Jory, usually lazy, was talking to the Sacred Wolf in a corner. The usually free-spirited Sacred Wolf looked majestic, sitting upright on the ground, his sapphire eyes fixed on Jory seriously. Beak was beside him, nodding at every word Jory said.
"I believe you already know who the person who came yesterday was. She said she wanted to follow Yi, meaning she wanted to be her knight."
"I'm not sure how many times stronger her magic is than yours, but if she becomes Yi's knight, there will be no place for you."
"Don't keep looking at me like that. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Fluffy raised his head seriously.
Piccolo shook his head, not quite understanding: "Fluffy is different from her." Their contracts were not on the same level. Of course, this could not be told to Jori.
"It's definitely different. She looks stronger."
Maomaorong raised his wolf paw and slapped him.
Harold took two steps back as he looked at Jory lying on the ground. It was painful to look at him.
…
At noon, Bernice, who had not appeared in Sunset City for several months, appeared in the treatment station. Not only Harold, but everyone noticed that something was wrong.
"Why are you back?" Qiao Li had healed the wounds from the beating by Mao Rongrong and now looked respectable. "Yi asked you to come back?"
"No." Bernice glanced critically at Jory's attire and the guarding knights behind him. "What's wrong with these knights? Why do they have family crests?"
"My father gave it to me."
Bernice looked away from Jory in an ambiguous way.
After what happened yesterday, everyone continued to pay attention to the movements of the Healing Station and Lord Kayas.
The newly crowned monarch hadn't returned home, and the guards of Sunset City were on high alert. Although she hadn't brought her own army, it wasn't a good idea for a monarch to be traveling around.
They didn't know how her strength had changed over the years. If they had known earlier that her strength had reached level 8, they probably wouldn't even approve her entry.
As soon as Bernice entered the treatment station, she went straight up to the third floor and knocked on the door of Eryi's lounge: "It's me, Bernice."
The door opened from the inside. "Bernice, you're back just in time. I sent you another letter this morning, but it looks like you didn't receive it. How much can a 3% tax really be?"
