43 Its Not Over Ye (2/2)

Betta frowned even harder, wondering how the reverend would defend himself.

Roland, on the other hand, had vaguely guessed what he would say.

”It's true that the civilians will thank me if I rescue them for free, but more people will be indirectly killed,” said the reverend casually.

Betta scorned him. ”How's that possible?”

”The Church of Life brings food for the poor every day. It's safe to say that many of them will die without our aid.” The reverend said with a patronizing attitude, ”Where's the money for the food from? The nobles like you.”

Betta was of a mind to argue that he was not a noble, but remembering his identity as a Divine Noble, he did not refute that but said, ”But it doesn't mean you can't treat civilians for a lower price.”

Roland sighed, knowing that Betta did not follow the reverend.

The middle-aged reverend laughed. ”If I use all my spells on civilians, where can we earn money? Besides, nobles appreciate dignity and distance. If I treat civilians for free, they will never visit my temple, because they will think that civilians are nobler than them. Without the nobles and their money, we can't even feed ourselves. How can we help the poor people?”

Betta opened his mouth, only to come up with nothing.

He couldn't find any rebuttal.

The reverend looked at Betta with a faint smile. ”I don't ask for your understanding, but don't mock my faith. The benevolent Life Goddess cares for everyone. Take a rest here. It's not usual to see kindhearted nobles.”

The reverend left after saying that.

Betta was deep in thought on his chair. He was only eighteen and had been a student. Naturally, he was never faced with such dilemmas.

Roland did not say anything. He was taking a rest.

It was better for Betta to be taught a lesson by NPCs in a game rather than people in reality.

At this moment, a bunch of people appeared at the temple, and several men in ragged clothes rushed over. They were delighted to see the girl on the ritual table.

Then, time and space were frozen. Time was up for today's game.

As usual, Roland took a shower after he crawled out of the virtual cabin. He opened the forum and uploaded the video he recorded earlier, with the title ”Need forensic scientists or police officers to search for Clues.” The video was the site of the corpses in the cave.

Of course, the private parts of the victims had been censored.

He had saved the girl and finished the quest, but Roland felt that it was not over yet!

He was very interested in discovering the criminal behind it.

In less than ten minutes, the post was pinned, and the number of replies was soaring.

Every reply was filled with rage.
