After Wen Yubai finished explaining the matters to Bishop Dickens and the others, he sent them off to attend to their own business.

Little Mustache is going to the temple's shop to design a special display area, and he also needs to discuss cooperation with the magic supplies store under the Magic Cube Association.

Dale went to North Ridge, and Wen Yubai had already made arrangements with the bishop of the temple branch there and the mayor of Walter Town.

Mayor Walter has an existing processing workshop, and he is willing to provide the space free of charge in hopes of participating in this production.

Wen Yubai did not refuse. Building a suitable factory from scratch would take a long time, so it was better to find an existing one.

Moreover, since Mayor Walter is so eager to lose money, then Wen Yubai will grant his wish and avenge the pilgrimage he suffered back then.

As for Bishop Dickens, Wen Yubai instructed him to survey the route along the way, establish dedicated transport stations for the temple, and equip them with carriages, horses, and transport personnel.

This was a very arduous job, as it involved traveling around and enduring harsh weather, so Wen Yubai entrusted it to Bishop Dickens, who loved his work.

Dickens was puzzled. They could have easily hired existing transport guilds; there was no need to build their own relay stations, as the operating costs were too high.

Wen Yubai patiently persuaded him, saying that the products made from luminous minerals were quite valuable, and that it was not safe to entrust them to external transport guilds. In the long run, the investment would be considerable, so it would be better to form one himself.

The establishment of the rest stop is also for the sake of long-term development.

As for what exactly this "long-term development" entails, Wen Yubai hasn't figured it out yet, but he'll spend the temple's money first.

After sending away several major threats, Wen Yubai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know what Lowen has been busy with lately, and he hasn't been around him. Wen Yubai is particularly refreshed.

Even when I went to the outskirts of the city and saw that there were more people at the labor field, my mood did not worsen.

Dickens and Little Mustache were sent away, and he transferred the Grand Master of Paladins to oversee the work site.

Anyway, the workplace for the rich is beyond saving; we can only hope it doesn't get worse.

Wen Yubai went to the book copying shop again, intending to discuss the future arrangements for the book copying shop with Erebus.

In his view, the book copying shop still had a high potential to lose money.

Wen Yubai stopped on the third floor.

From his perspective, Erebus and Lovin were standing very close together, the afternoon sun streaming in through the window and falling on them, creating a strangely subtle atmosphere.

Wen Yubai: ...

Perhaps the timing of my arrival was inappropriate.

No wonder Lovin hasn't come looking for me lately; he's got his eye on Erebus.

He was well aware of the protagonist's charm and his inherent flaws.

The more aloof someone is, the more desirable they are. Lovin was interested in him because he ignored him, and Erebus was equally indifferent to him, so he naturally became a target as well.

Wen Yubai sighed as he observed the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

He could understand; the protagonist's charm was undeniable, and it was normal for his good friend Erebus to be unable to resist.

However, Lovin belonged to those three gods, and he didn't want Erebus to get involved in the gods' struggle and be easily killed. He had to make Erebus be careful about the boundaries of his relationship with Lovin.

As soon as Wen Yubai's footsteps sounded, Erebus and Lovin simultaneously distanced themselves from each other.

But Wen Yubai noticed that Erebus's expression was off; his lips were tighter than usual, and there was a clear displeasure between his brows.

Lovey-Loughlin, on the other hand, looked much more natural, with even a slight smile on his lips.

Lovin walked over, his tone light and affectionate, "Yu Bai, did you come here specifically to see me?"

Wen Yubai was very honest. "No, I'm here to see Erebus."

The smile on Lovin's face faltered for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer."

This time he didn't linger. As he passed by Wen Yubai, her long pink hair brushed against his shoulder.

Wen Yubai subtly avoided the situation.

Lovin didn't stop walking, but as he went downstairs, he glanced at Erebus with a hint of warning.

Erebus's complexion, which had improved due to the arrival of the Holy Son, worsened again after Lovin's glare.

Only after Lovin's figure completely disappeared at the top of the stairs did Erebus perk up and turn to Wen Yubai to ask about the progress of their glowing mine project.

Wen Yubai replied, "It went very smoothly; the High Priest approved it."

Erebus was left with mixed feelings after hearing this.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that the high priest was too stupid, or that the high priest's trust in the holy son had reached the point of blind faith, actually approving a plan that was obviously going to lose money.

But for him, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

He could already foresee the immense damage these products would cause to the Temple once they were released.

When the high priest sees the money flowing out without earning a single penny back, he will inevitably fly into a rage at the holy son.

It's alright, he will comfort the heartbroken Holy Son.

If the Holy Son of Light wishes, the doors of their Dark Temple are always open to him; he still holds some influence within the Dark Temple.

Wen Yubai noticed the change in Erebus's expression; his eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Is she still thinking about Lovin?

Wen Yubai coughed lightly and carefully said, "Erebus, Lovin is a chosen one of the gods, with a special status. You'd better not get too close to him."

Erebus frowned slightly. Why did he suddenly bring up that unlucky name, Lovin?

He realized that Lloyd's visit today was actually a showdown.

Lovin said he knew his identity and could help him regain his lost memories, but he needed to agree to one condition.

Erebus's first reaction after hearing this wasn't that Lovin could help him regain his memories, but rather...

Lovin actually knew he was from the Dark Temple, but he never told the Temple of Light!

What does this show? It shows that Lovin himself was malicious and two-faced, yet the entire temple trusted him implicitly and treated him like a god.

I really want to tell the Holy Son that Lovin is no good.

But if he were to speak, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

I don't know how accepting the Holy Son is of the Dark Temple, but actually, the people in the Dark Temple are all quite nice.

Erebus held back and didn't reveal his identity now.

Seeing his restrained expression, Wen Yubai assumed he was disgusted by her words and didn't continue.

Good brother, he has done more than enough.

If Erebus really does make a fool of himself, letting love cloud his judgment and insisting on getting involved with Lovin, Wen Yubai won't be able to stop him. He can only hope that Erebus will pull back from the brink.

Wen Yubai then got to the point of his visit to Erebus, asking him what his thoughts were on the Book Copying House.

Erebus has been pondering this matter ever since he received the important task from the Holy Son.

He had two objectives: first, to make the Temple spend money; and second, to make the Temple spend money but still not get any benefit.

Based on his personal observations during his time at the book copying shop, he said that the surrounding environment of the book copying shop was not ideal.

Being too close to the construction area of ​​the labor site, there is constant noise during the day and a lot of dust outside the window, which greatly affects people who need to concentrate on copying books.

Seeing that Wen Yubai did not refute him, Erebus continued boldly:

"The facilities inside are rather basic, and the ventilation and lighting are inadequate. I think we can improve the environment, upgrade the facilities, and create a better living space."

Wen Yubai's eyes lit up.

He really wanted to bring Dickens over immediately so he could see for himself that this was the right approach, and what a great idea to spend money!

However, Erebus was still not bold enough.
