Chapter 36 Chapter 36 "Nothing." During the day...
"No." Bai Tianming subconsciously avoided his gaze, frowned, and said almost without hesitation.
But perhaps because he avoided her gaze, he seemed a little weaker, so that the words he said without hesitation were two points short of being decisive, and seemed less convincing.
"Then look at me and tell me." Sada put away the sneer on his face and looked at him with a pair of cold eyes, as if he wanted to freeze him to death silently and seal him under the glacier for tens of millions of years.
If you look at me, I will believe you.
Bai Tianming didn't like to make eye contact with others, but he understood what Sada meant. After a slight hesitation, he looked directly at Sada and said, "No."
Sada blinked, avoiding his gaze, and his aura suddenly softened, as if a glacier was melting under the sun: "Okay." I believe you this time.
Bai Tianming sat back on the rock, squinting his eyes as he looked at the sunlight moving in from a distance. He said, "You guys can eat if you want. It's almost time."
"It'll probably be a while," Sada said, looking at the other demons as if nothing had happened. He sat next to Bai Tianming and said calmly, "They're not very hungry."
"Really?" Bai Tianming glanced at him and said, "You didn't even ask, how do you know?"
Sada smiled and said, "You know that without asking. How can they get hungry so easily? It's not like you haven't been to hell before. If a demon went hungry three times a day, they would have starved to death long ago. They can survive by eating only once every ten days or half a month. The last time they ate was the day before they came here, so it wasn't that long ago."
Bai Tianming nodded: "It's up to you."
At this time, Apos and his group had already entered the village. The farmers in the village were preparing to cook. They were a little surprised to see a group of them coming. After all, they lived in a remote and poor area and might not see many outsiders in their lifetime, let alone a group of them.
"What do you do?" asked the peasant woman in a white apron.
"We are priests sent by the Temple to check if there are any space cracks around." Apos replied politely.
"So it's the priest," the peasant woman nodded, letting down her guard and pointing to the side. "There's a sanctuary over there. You can go in and rest. There's only one priest in there, but he's not dressed as neatly as you are, so it shouldn't be too crowded. Do you want to eat?"
Apos blinked, a little surprised by the change of topic: "Not for now."
"Then you can just walk over there." The peasant woman waved her hand.
"Thank you." After thanking him sincerely, Apos took the person to the temple.
As expected, there was only one priest in the temple, and he was dressed very poorly and looked tattered, but there was not much difference in his attire, so I recognized him as soon as I opened the door.
Apos communicated with the priest, hoping that the priest would agree to let them go in and rest, and the priest agreed.
A group of people entered the temple.
After entering, the group was placed in a large room in the temple. The priest said to Apos, hesitantly, "I have something to say. I wonder if I can talk to you alone?"
Apos then stood up and walked out the door, saying to the priest, "Let's go, and talk wherever you feel comfortable."
The priest's face lit up, and he immediately took him to the small garden outside, whispering, "Holy Temple, Aunt Mary from the village said her cowshed broke down a few days ago, and she wants someone to fix it, but no one knows how to do it. I wonder if you can? If you can, how about I take you to fix it?"
At this point, the priest's voice dropped even lower, as if he was having difficulty speaking, but he had to say, "No one has much money, so repairing the cowshed is free. But if you just want a meal, a little dry bread and some water is fine."
"I can give it a try," Apos frowned, "but I can't guarantee that I can fix it." He had never learned this, but he had seen others do it, so it shouldn't be difficult.
"It's better to give it a try than to have no answer at all! Since you agreed, then come with me quickly! Maybe we can come back in time and have a meal before lunch! Although it's definitely not much, but with the grass in my yard, if we pick some and make soup, it should be enough to fill our stomach." The priest said happily.
Apos nodded and followed the priest.
Everyone in the room didn't know what was going on. They watched from the window as the two of them finished talking and then walked away. They blinked, looked at each other, and couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows what's going on?"
"I have no idea."
"I don't know either."
"If you don't know, then you don't know. What good will it do even if you know?" Noah, who was lying on the bed, frowned impatiently and turned over. A muffled voice came out from the pillow.
The other priests gathered around and said, "You can't say that!"
"Then what should we say?" Noah lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up, looked at them and asked.
"Although he's the strongest, most vigilant, and highest-ranking among us, he can't just drive us around like donkeys! We've been walking for so long now, how tiring it is!"
"That's right, and during the only break I had, I was hallucinating, and he didn't notice it in advance. We're still exhausted now, and we don't know when we can eat. We're starving!"
"Are you trying to say that what we said has nothing to do with what he's going to do now? How could it be unrelated? If he's just going to find us food, it means he doesn't regard us as steel."
"Most likely, once he's gone out, he'll definitely find us a lot of work to do. It's not that we won't work, but who would want to take on work locally when they're away? Aren't they afraid of being exhausted?"
"Yes, yes, having a priest here is enough. Why would he get involved? It would be fine if he just got involved, but he wants us to go too. And we have to obey his orders and can't resist. It's even more annoying."
Noah could only hear their humming noises. He frowned tightly, his face darkening like a wet rag dripping with water. He said, "It's a good thing you still remembered that you came out on a mission. The spatial rift hasn't been found yet. Aren't you worried at all? Maybe he went out to find information about the spatial rift."
"That may not be the case." The other priests looked at each other and shook their heads.
Noah scoffed, "I don't know if he went to get information, but you definitely didn't have any."
"We know he is amazing, but we can't be expected to be as amazing as him, right? If we were that strong, how could we possibly obey his orders? Besides, space rifts are so dangerous! He said to accept the mission, so we accepted it. If we had a choice, we would have left long ago!" The priests shook their heads.
Speaking of this, they have more to say.
As for how to get promoted in the Temple, the simplest and most straightforward way is to take on difficult tasks and complete them. The better and faster you complete them, the more likely you are to be noticed.
However, some tasks cannot be taken on by a single person. You must form a team. To form a team, you must choose a captain. The chosen captain will be the first to rush to the front when there is danger and the first to take on the reward.
Even if the entire team completes the task, the captain may not necessarily contribute the most effort, but when the final reward comes, the captain will still get the lion's share.
Some people choose this path to gild themselves. They form a team and become the captain. They don't get paid or work hard, but they want to gain fame and take away rewards. With a wave of their sleeves, they can empty the entire mountain.
Just because they have backers, others can't do anything to them and can only suffer. Therefore, everyone dislikes those people.
Although Apos seemed to have no background, he did everything by himself, was the first to rush to the scene when danger came, and had good abilities, but there were rumors that the priest who had followed Bai Tianming had his eyes on as his successor, and he had a relationship with him.
Because some people saw with their own eyes that Apos and his successor met in a place away from the crowd. They probably thought that there was no one else around, so they did not deliberately conceal their relationship. It seemed that a conflict had occurred, and then the matter was left unresolved and they never met again.
But this is enough to show that Apos does have a close relationship with his successor, and it is not a spider-thread-like relationship that can be broken at will.
In this way, there is an explanation for why Apos is so strong at such a young age. Because he has a relationship with the successor, he can get resources that others cannot get, and naturally he is stronger than others.
According to this logic, it can also be explained that Apos chose this mission. Because he was eager to gild himself, even though it was well known that the mission related to space rifts must be difficult, he still chose this mission.
Even if everyone is in danger at the same time and has to suffer serious injuries to escape, he will definitely be the one who recovers the fastest.
Because in addition to his stronger abilities than others, his background is also stronger than others. He can get more and better treatment. Naturally, he does not have to worry about any accidents happening in this mission that will prevent him from returning to the temple.
Others cannot compare with his background or ability. When faced with such a difficult task, they want to give up, but they have no way out. They are stuck here and encounter obstacles at every turn during the mission, so they are naturally full of resentment.
Noah frowned as he listened to the chattering of the people around him for a long time. It seemed that not a single good word was spoken. He was so annoyed that he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Enough! If you keep talking, he will come back! Do you want to provoke him in front of him? I want to rest! If you want to talk, get out!"
Everyone had almost finished talking, and after being reminded by him, they really felt that Apos might be back soon, so they stopped talking and said nothing more, and the room fell silent.
Noah fell back on the bed.
Apos was not blind or deaf, and he was aware of the resentment of the people around him. He just thought that this resentment was insignificant and not worth mentioning compared to completing the task, so he pretended not to know.
These people only dared to vent their anger behind his back.
If we really want to talk to their faces, no one dares.
