Father Mavie

Chapter 7

In the study, Ma Wei stared at the flickering flames in the glass cup in a daze.

He was thinking about how to develop the Church of Truth.

According to his previous plan, the church can build steadily, first laying a foundation in the city of New Ross, and then sending a few missionaries to several surrounding cities to grow step by step.

This process is very slow, the advantage is that there is no risk, and the church does not have to worry about funds, but.
The current situation has undergone tremendous changes, and the advent of the gods has directly broken the old model. The church is no longer a tool used by the royal family to manipulate the thoughts of the common people, but has become the leader of power.

Whoever relies on the stronger the church will be able to obtain more benefits, resources, land and people.

With the continuous expansion, the strength of the church will also be further enhanced, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will become stronger. At that time, there will be no weak people at all.

A weak church will not have any room to survive.

Fortunately, the gods just descended yesterday. No matter how fast the church reacted, in this era of lagging news, it was impossible to respond immediately.

Especially for those big churches, it takes a lot of time to transmit orders. For example, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has millions of believers. They exist in various towns and villages in the Kingdom of Windsor. How long does it take for a church to deliver an order?
10 days, 15 days, or even longer
This provided Ma Wei with a valuable buffer space, which was also the biggest advantage of the Church of Truth.

We must seize the opportunity to grow the church as quickly as possible to cope with the great changes that will follow.

The most convenient way to develop quickly is naturally to get the support of those in power. If the fourth prince Arthur, who is the lord of the city, and the nobles are willing to support the Church of Truth, then the Church of Truth will definitely be able to occupy the entire city in the shortest possible time. New Ross City!

But how to make the church favored by the four princes and nobles?

Just as Ma Wei was thinking hard, Xiao Hei came to him quietly, rubbing his head at his feet and acting coquettishly: "Master. Master meow. Xiao Hei wants to play with a ball of yarn."

Ma Wei calmly opened the drawer, took out the ball of thread that he had prepared a long time ago, threw it on the ground, and continued to think about the problem.

Xiao Hei jumped up excitedly, rolled on the floor with the wool ball in his arms, and started playing carefree.

Fat Ju, who was lying on the window sill and looking at the moonlight, heard the sound, jumped off the window sill, walked to the table with graceful catwalks, and jumped up, looking so agile with his fat body.

"What are you thinking?" Fat Orange asked.

Ma Wei glanced at it: "About the sustainable development of the church."

"speak English."

Your cat wants to listen to people?

Really
With some complaints in his heart, Ma Wei had no choice but to speak out his own thoughts. It didn't matter whether Fat Ju could understand or not, he could just use the opportunity of explanation to straighten out his thoughts.

Unexpectedly
After listening to Fat Orange, he expressed his opinion for the first time.

"I heard you said before that the fourth prince Arthur is the king's illegitimate son. He is different from his three elder brothers. Because he has no background power, the archbishop and the nobles are unwilling to support him, and King Rhodes IV is already old. The fight for the heir is undercurrent, and at this juncture, the powerless fourth prince was expelled from the royal capital and appointed to this borderland as the city lord."

Under Ma Wei's surprised gaze, Fat Orange said calmly: "So the fourth prince himself has no church background, which is fundamentally different from the city lords of other cities. I'm afraid you chose to settle in New Rose City at the beginning. .From the very beginning, you planned to take advantage of, or cooperate with the fourth prince, but it is a pity that there have been too many trifles in the church these years, and you have not been able to find the opportunity."

"...Being a cat is really wronging you." Mavi was dumbfounded.

Just this IQ
Proper genius among cats!

Staying in this small temple of his own is really wronging Fat Ju, the big Buddha.

"What about cats?"

Fat Ju raised his head and said disdainfully, "Can't cats be ambitious?"

"Yes, of course."

Ma Wei smiled: "So what is your ambition?"

"Dominate the world!"

"."

A cat who wants to rule the world?

What kind of monster did I raise?
Mavi couldn't help laughing.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I never need others to point out my work."

Fat Orange said calmly: "To be serious, when I went out to look for food today, I found a very strange thing."

"What strange thing?"

"Rat meat doesn't taste right."

"Did you take rat poison?!"

Ma Wei straightened up in an instant, and went forward to check on Fat Ju's situation: "How many times have I told you, don't eat the mice outside, it's not like there is nothing for you at home, and at worst, go grab the meat from the butchers! "

"I'm fine, don't touch me." Fat Ju stretched out his claws, slapped Ma Wei's palm away, and said coldly: "Rats that have eaten rat poison emit an unpleasant smell of death. eat?"

"There are also those butchers who have been in collusion with you for a long time. I go to grab it with my front foot, and you go to pay with the back foot. Is this called robbery? Now they can't stop laughing when they see me! What's more, they let me go. I'll eat more! Is it an insult to the cat's IQ?"

When Ma Wei heard that he didn't take the rat poison, Ma Wei's hanging heart also fell, leaned back, spread his hands and said: "If you didn't talk today, who would have known that your IQ is so high? What's the matter with paying? Money is justified!"

"Okay, who cares about this with you."

Fat Orange glanced at Xiao Hei, who was playful on the ground, and said, "I'm not joking, the taste of rat meat in the city has indeed changed. Although the taste is the same as usual, after biting the skin, there will be a faint smell inside. black air!"

Black gas?

Ma Wei frowned, and before he had time to ask, he heard Fat Ju add: "Today, three cats in the city have been poisoned. Let me remind you, this is not normal, there must be something tricky in it!"

"You also ate rat meat, why didn't you get poisoned?"

"It should be the power of the gift given to me by Goddess Junia that played a role." Fat Orange said: "The black air quickly disappeared after entering my body. I have already notified the stray cats in the city Let them not eat rats in the near future, just kill them and gather the corpses."

"Where is the body?"

"backyard."

"You piled dead rats in our backyard?!"

"I warn you not to steal it, the meat is really poisonous!"

"."

His lips twitched twice, and Ma Wei was speechless for a while.

Finally, he stood up, picked up Xiao Hei who was playing on the ground and said:
"Go, go to the backyard to see the situation."
