Chapter 5 (2/2)

“G.o.ddess exhorts us, everyone is born equal!” Liang Li Dong intends to use G.o.ddess Waukeen’s name for a bit, after all he is wearing this G.o.ddess’ follower’s outfit now: “No one is more n.o.ble than others, the difference between people is only in character and virtue. If he has a kind heart, even if he is only a beggar, he is more than n.o.bles who do nothing and only feast on wine and meat.”

Behring does not really understands but she is clear of 1 thing, this handsome priest does not seem to care about her status and is not looking down on her. This very small recognition makes her very happy. Young girls tries to raise her head, looks at Liang Li Dong, musters her courage and uses a s.h.i.+vering tone to ask: “Are you one of us Holevins?”

“No!” Liang Li Dong shakes his head: “I’m only a follower in charge of spreading the G.o.ddess’ glory who journeyed here inadvertently “

Seeing that Liang Li Dong actually answering her question, Behring calms down a bit, she continues asking: “Then Lord Beta, which country are you from? Th.o.r.es? Or Udaburi”

In the game, Th.o.r.es and Udaburi have borders with Holevin, with Udaburi being hostile with Holevin. This is really not in the game? Liang Li Dong is getting more and more suspicious but his face does not shows it and continues duping: “After embracing G.o.d, we do not differentiate nationality, all the people in the world, in our eyes is only cla.s.sified into 2 kinds, converted follower or going to be converted follower.”

Behring is only a village girl and cannot understand what Liang Li Dong is saying but she vaguely knows this is very n.o.ble words which only n.o.ble people can say out. Looking at Liang Li Dong’s handsome face, her face is getting hot: “Is follower more n.o.ble than non-follower? What kind of G.o.ddess is G.o.ddess Waukeen?”

“All are equal, follower is not more n.o.ble than non-follower, follower is just people who understands G.o.d’s ideals. The job of us followers is to let more people know of G.o.d’s ideals. Of course, believe in or not, does not affect G.o.d’s love of people.” Liang Li Dong knows what real follower are like: “G.o.ddess Waukeen is the G.o.ddess of fortune, she manages the flow of money in the world.”

Behring blinks her eyes: “The reason our village is so poor is because we do not have faith in G.o.ddess Waukeen?”

Have to say, Behring is a little clever to be able to link the village’s poverty to G.o.ddess Waukeen at once. Liang Li Dong shakes his head: “No, G.o.ddess Waukeen only manages the general flow of money. Anyone in her eyes are equal. Have wealth or not has nothing much to do with G.o.ddess. It mainly depends on yourself. Hardworking, smart and have some business sense, it is not that difficult to gather wealth.”

“Oh!” Behring replied, not fully understanding. Behring likes to chat with Liang Li Dong. She feels this lord priest is very amiable and will not despise her because she is stupid. Instead, he explains to her very thoughtfully. Auntie Jessica from next door is nothing in comparison, she acts like she is so knowledgeable even though she only knows a little bit more. Ask her anything and she will drag and hide and still not answer anyone in the end.

Behring intends to ask about outside world originally but the village is already just up ahead. Some adults squatting at the village entrance doing nothing notice Behring first, then also notice Liang Li Dong. Because of the trait ‘n.o.ble’s Temperament’, these adults immediately stand up and open the way with some expression of fear. They are adults after all, at moment they see Liang Li Dong, they ‘know’ this person in front is a n.o.ble. Even though they are afraid, they did not kneel down like Behring.

One of these adults is Behring’s father. She excuses herself to bring the goats to her father and let him help shepherd for a while.

Meanwhile, Liang Li Dong takes the chance to observe this village…… Same as most village in the game, not a big place, loess trail connects to village entrance, simple wooden fences surround and protect the village. Men in the village wears grey linen clothes with patches with spots of mud covering their arms and legs. Now that Liang Li Dong has CLoud Dragon’s Blue Eyes, he can see that these men have dirty hair with grease tying the hair up like hemp rope, grey fleas are squirming around in their hair and white insect eggs hanging at the roots of hair.

He has seen too many of this situation in the game and so he does not feel any discomfort. From this, one can tell how ridiculous <f.l.a.n.g.e continent=””> can be in terms of details.

After Behring and her father exchanged some words, she runs lightly back to Liang Li Dong: “Lord Beta, I will  bring you to the village head’s house now. In our village, only the village head’s house is the most clean. If you need to stay here for a while, you can only go there. The other places are too dirty for someone like you.”

Liang Li Dong nods: “Then thanks for the trouble.”

Behring shakes her hands as she cannot accept the grat.i.tude. Liang Li Dong choosing to go to the village head’s house is not because he dislike normal villager’s house due to dirtiness but because he can tell that this village is very poor, so poor that they may not even have much to eat. The few adults at the village entrance has blank expressions and pallid faces, this is obviously due to long-term malnutrition. Typically, adult men are the pillar of the house, if they cannot even feed themselves, that means these families are almost to the point of not being able to have a meal. If Liang Li Dong goes to these ordinary people’s house, he will definitely entertain him at their own expenses, Liang Li Dong may just eat up these people’s few days of rations in 2 or 3 meals.

Meanwhile the village head is typically the most wealthiest family, therefore going to their house to have a few meals should not pose any problems.
