Chapter 125 Missionary
Lawrence takes Kenny back to the tavern.
"Take off the rope yourself. I took you as a slave because of Bull's request. Work hard from now on."
Kenny looked to be in his twenties, older than Bull, and he also had an aura of desolation about him.
Lawrence sat on a chair in the tavern, Saryl and Sophia sat near another empty table, while Kenny stood in front of Lawrence, and Bull served ale and pork bacon to several people.
Unlike the bacon made at home, the bacon here is better.
Although the preparation is very simple, just cut the smoked back muscles into slices, but just like cooking, you can taste whether it tastes good or not.
Kenny looked at the young man in front of him who was enjoying the food, and said honestly:
"Mr. Lawrence, I want to be free from you."
Lawrence showed an unexpected look, but still calmly broke open the bread, took out the bacon, Kale leaves and berries sandwiched between bread.
After taking a small bite, the salty bacon and vegetable bread were mixed together.
It would be better if there is cream.
After Lawrence slowly took a bite, he said softly: "Work for me for five years and I will give you freedom."
Kenny said anxiously: "I'm afraid I can't wait that long."
"Then there is no other way." Lawrence He continued eating and took the time to say, "I'm sorry, but you have to understand that it's not easy for you to come to me from Vip."
Kenny put on a serious face and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself."
"Okay." Lawrence looked at Kenny, he was obviously different from the Pumi Xiu people.
Kenny said: "I am Kenny from Durila in the West, a missionary from the Church of the Dawn."
Lawrence showed a puzzled expression, "Where is Durila?"
"It is one of the countries in the West." Ken Kenny puffed up his chest and said: "There are 300,000 people there, and there are many more powerful countries near Dulari."
Lawrence asked directly: "How far is it from here?"
Kenny said: "From departure to I disembarked and stood on the beach for a total of 19 days."
Lawrence asked: "Is this where the Pumixiu people went this time?"
Kenny: "I'm not sure that there is more than one country called Duruila on the western coast."
Lawrence was very concerned about Kenny's identity.
"Are you a missionary of the Church of the Light of Morning?"
Kenny stood up straight proudly and said to Lawrence, "Yes, my purpose here is to spread the greatness of God in this ignorant land."
Lawrence said: "I also respect God. Since you spread the power of God, why were you caught by the Dumu people? Didn't your God give you power?" Kenny lowered his head and explained: "My
practice It’s not enough. I am not a knight or a priest. As a missionary, what I want to do is to let more people understand the greatness of God, rather than using violence.” “But I think the people
here are just prone to violence.” Lawrence He thought: "What spells does your priest know? Does he have any particularly powerful magical power?"
Kenny argued: "According to my observation, people here need faith. Even without using violence, some people here can be influenced. Relying on the efforts of generations, the people of this land can sing the hymn of the Lord of the Dawn."
Lawrence was a little annoyed, "I ask you, does your church have any magical power? Answer my question!!"
Ken Under Lawrence's glare, Ni could only relent and said: "Yes, the bishop in our area can use the magic of calling fire. Although the warriors of the Luofen Kingdom are brave, they will understand when they meet the temple knights of our Church of the Light of Morning. What is order?"
Lawrence nodded, "Well, I don't actually have any objection to the church or anything like that, but in exchange for you, I paid the price of a slave, and I can't just let you go." Understand the morning
sun After the Church of Light indeed had mysterious power, Lawrence became able to speak a lot easier.
He was very talkative at first, and it was already a very kind act to agree to let this person go.
Kenny said: "Yes, I think what you did was not wrong. In order to shorten my slave time, I can pay equivalent compensation." Lawrence said with great interest: "What can you give me?"
Ken Ni explained: "Church brothers and sisters in various regions are willing to conduct friendly transactions with people. We provide bread, wine and resting places for traveling missionaries." "We also trade with merchants and provide blessings to travelers.
"
"In order to let more people understand the greatness of God, join our church, and we will also spread knowledge." "
Mr. Lawrence, you are the first person in this area to have an equal dialogue with me, and you have also become interested in our church. Provided a friendly act of rescue."
"I think you have the qualifications to share our knowledge. Now you can choose one of the three kinds of knowledge I know, and I will help you master this knowledge within three months.
Salil became interested, "What knowledge? Lawrence is literate! I am literate too!" Kenny
explained: "The first one is the technology of making delicious bread. Our missionaries have visited churches in various places and tasted the uniqueness of many regions." Bread, and I can only tell you how to make Durela butter bread."
Salil asked curiously: "What is butter?"
Lawrence knew that butter was said to have been invented in BC when he was on Earth, so it should be foreign. Bar.
The cattle here in the north are all beef cattle or farm cattle. Without dairy cows, there will be no butter.
There are quite a lot of goat milk, but most people don’t point out the corresponding technology.
Kenny said: "It is a necessity to match the bread and make the bread more delicious."
Lawrence said directly: "Go on, Salil, don't ask first, let him finish."
Salil was very curious about Kenny. The rest of the technique, and also curious about what the brioche bread tastes like.
Kenny continued: "The second one, barley wine, will definitely taste better than the wine you have now!"
Lawrence took a sip of the ale wine quietly. Church staff were the first people to leave their jobs in this era and did not need to do heavy work. Naturally, they have time to engage in other side jobs.
Brewing beer and baking bread are considered relatively respectable jobs in this era.
Moreover, churches are generally not poor and have their own sources of income. Naturally, they have also mastered some profit-making techniques, and they do not entirely rely on charity from believers.
Many churches and chambers of commerce have contacts, but judging from the missionary who is willing to come to the barbarian kingdom to preach, there are also many people who want to do something.
The church needs many intellectuals to help preach, but it does not have such a monopoly on knowledge.
Most people have no idea of studying. Many people are running around for three meals a day and have long missed the best time to study.
Seeing that Lawrence was not taking it seriously, Kenny continued: "The third option is that I can keep bees for you and get the beeswax for making candles."
"Mr. Lawrence, which technology do you want?"
Kenny looked at Lawrence, waiting for his choice.
Lawrence quickly clenched his fists and said, "I want them all."
Kenny quickly shook his head, "No, you can only get one."
Lawrence said directly, "You are my slave now."
Kenny refused to give in. "My soul belongs to God! You can kill me, but don't expect to get the second kind of knowledge from me! This is God's test for you, and it is also a test for me!" Lawrence looked at this man carefully, obviously afraid of death
. He looked like he would rather die than surrender.
Although you can try to scare him, but I don't think it's necessary.
We will just catch another missionary later, there is no rush anyway.
"I choose the third option. You help me raise bees. After I produce honey and beeswax, I will let you go."
Kenny smiled, bowed and said: "You will be overjoyed with today's choice in the future. In my Country, it is a luxury item that is loved by nobles and churches. You can sell these at any chamber of commerce and church." "
If this mountain is suitable for beekeeping, businessmen will come here to buy beeswax in the future. It is better than wine, Pottery and honey are more popular."
