Goddess Kaleidoscope

So, in order to maintain his dignity as a teacher, Luther decided to make this increasingly mischievous little nun remember how to respect her teacher through physical intimacy!
“Master…I’m sorry!”
End of this chapter
After two and a half days, Lud and his party finally returned to Pine Village, which they had been away from for a week. When the villagers learned that the high priest had returned, they spread the news and rushed to the village entrance to welcome him.
Besides welcoming them back safely, we also took the opportunity to urge the priest to update the story and ask when he would tell everyone the sequel to his "Goddess Little Story." The whole village is already impatient!
Upon returning from his trip to Unos, Ludwig planned to spend the winter perfecting his church and establishing a school.
As a time traveler, Ludwig valued education highly. Although from a missionary perspective, the more ignorant the people were, the better, missionary work was merely a means for Ludwig to fight religion against religion, not an end in itself. His ultimate goal was always to move forward and create a better life for himself and others.
However, the amount of paper and pens brought back this time was not much. If the thousand sheets of paper were evenly distributed, each child coming to school would receive less than thirty sheets, and there would be even less for each child to have their own set of pens and ink, not to mention that he also needed to use them himself. So, on the second day after his return, Lu De could only take out a few sheets of paper and a pen so that these farmers' children could experience writing with paper and pen firsthand.
Watching the children excitedly taking turns writing their names, Lu De secretly made up his mind that when the village's conditions improved a bit next year, he would encourage the villagers to set up a paper mill. Firstly, they could use it themselves, and secondly, they could sell it to others; paper was considered a kind of "luxury" here.
Before we knew it, another week had passed. The weather on the border was getting colder day by day. The first snow arrived quietly while people were fast asleep, turning the earth into a vast expanse of white overnight.
In previous years, in this kind of scorching weather where a single breath could freeze half of your nose, villagers would choose to stay at home and minimize outdoor activities. They would also avoid any exercise indoors to prevent burning calories and getting hungry too quickly.
However, this year is different. The village has a bumper harvest, ensuring a stable food supply. Moreover, they recently joined forces to fight off a group of powerful bandits. The villagers' morale and cohesion are at an all-time high, and their faces are filled with joy and confidence.
People tend to be more active when they're in a good mood.
Therefore, keenly aware that the villagers were beginning to have social needs, Rude immediately catered to their preferences by renovating the temple hall and providing it free of charge to the villagers as a center for activities during the winter.
Thanks to Rudd's meticulous renovations, the temple hall was not only warm and comfortable but also very bright. This was because Rudd had discovered a relatively low-level exorcism barrier in divine magic that could form a permanent light source that would continue to shine as long as it was not destroyed by evil forces, and its brightness would never wane.
Ordinary priests use this divine spell to suppress vengeful spirits or prevent evil spirits from invading. But when it came into Lud's hands, he used it to make LED lights, adding indoor lighting to the temple.
The villagers discovered that the temple was not only bright and comfortable with free berry tea, but the priest also told wonderful stories. With nothing to do in the winter, they absolutely loved staying there.
As usual, most of the villagers of Pine Tree Village gathered at the temple. In the front rows, Lud was teaching the children, while many villagers who had come to enjoy the warmth of the heating sat behind them, some dozing off with their heads down, others chatting quietly among themselves.
Previously, some villagers made a lot of noise during the children's class and were chased away on the spot by the usually kind priest. So now everyone has learned to speak in a low voice, and some even listen to the class with the children. Rude welcomes anyone who wants to learn.
Soon, the class was over, and Lu De noticed that both the children and adults in front of him had expectant looks in their eyes, so he couldn't help but smile.
"Class is over for today. Now it's time to tell you a story."
"Great!!!"
"Hmm! The story is about to begin? Oh my! If you're going to start talking about this, then I'm not sleepy anymore."
Upon hearing that Rudd was going to tell a story, the more than two hundred people in the temple, regardless of age or gender, immediately perked up. For many of them, these days they depended on listening to a few stories to get by.
So Lude took a sip of water to moisten his throat and decided to tell everyone a heartwarming story about "filial piety".
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Derich. His mother was seriously ill, but his family was too poor to afford treatment. One day, while Derich was taking care of his bedridden mother, he overheard her saying she wanted to eat fish. This filial son secretly remembered this and the next day sneaked out to catch fish in the river for his mother. However, it was winter, and the river was covered with a thick layer of ice. To catch fish, Derich had to lie on the ice, hoping to melt it with his body heat.
On a freezing day, Derich lay motionless on the ice, his limbs numb from the cold, yet he persisted in his attempt to catch fish. His filial piety moved the heavens, and a kind-hearted god of medicine descended to earth, appearing as a beautiful female magician who happened to be passing by. She helped Derich up from the ice and then inquired about his reason.
The goddess was deeply moved upon hearing this. She used her divine power to melt the ice, then reached into the water and pulled out two large fish, saying to Derich.
"Child, would you like this golden bighead carp or this silver bighead carp?"
Derich looked at the two fish and shook his head firmly.
“I don’t want either of them. I just want a regular bighead carp that I can use to make soup for my mother. These two are too tough; she can’t chew them.”
Derich's kindness and integrity moved the goddess once again, so she pulled another lively, fathead fish out of the river and gave all three fish to Derich.
"Take it, child, all of this is for you."
And so, Derich took the three fish home. The bighead carp was blessed by the goddess, and Derich's mother recovered after drinking the fish soup. Derich then sold the other two fish, and from then on, he and his mother lived happily ever after... The End!
After telling a story full of flaws in the eyes of the time traveler, the villagers sighed with satisfaction at the "happy end" they had been waiting for. Then, as usual, led by Aina, they started to jeer, hoping that Lud would have another one.
However, just as Lud was preparing another cautionary tale about "Brother Shuang stealing rice," the village chief's eldest son, Ron, suddenly ran in from outside, excitedly shouting to Lud.
"Priest! The mercenaries we hired have arrived!"
End of this chapter
Upon hearing that the mercenaries hired by the village at a "high price" had finally arrived, everyone in the hall immediately showed expressions of relief, as if a "delivery had arrived," and they all got up and ran outside to see who these people were.
Lude was also very interested, and Ron also told him that there were three mercenaries, one man and two women, who came this time.
"A female mercenary?"
"Hmm! It looks quite pretty!"
So the villagers left the temple in a large group and headed to the village chief's house where the mercenaries were. As soon as Rudd arrived, he immediately saw a familiar old face.
"you……"
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Moxiu, and I am a mercenary. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency."
Hume rose and gave Ludwig an impeccable noble bow, his signature radiant smile on his face as he stared intently at Ludwig's expression, seemingly eager to see some interesting changes in his demeanor.
Beside Hume, a tall, imposing man who bore a striking resemblance to the governor rose and bowed to Ludd. Although Ludd was seeing this man's face for the first time today, he recognized a familiar face in the man's mannerisms and demeanor, concluding that it was most likely the new image of Fallen Leaf.
Besides the two people, there was a third person in the room, a woman who was completely unfamiliar to Lud from head to toe, and judging from her clothes, she was not a mercenary, but a... nun!
Noticing the doubt in Ludd's eyes, Hume suddenly spoke up on purpose.
“Priest, we received our commission from the Unos Mercenary Agency. On our way here, we met this lone nun. She said she was also going to Pine Village to find her priest mentor, Lord Lud. You must be him, right?”
"Uh, yes! I am Lude. You... what brings you here?"
After scrutinizing the completely unfamiliar nun before him, Lud had to admit that she seemed to possess a peculiar kind of allure. She appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed in the same dark brown nun's habit as Aina, with a grey cloak over it. Although she didn't reveal an inch of flesh except for her face, and even her hands were covered with black gloves, she still exuded a very forbidden eroticism, seemingly possessing an innate charm.
"Mentor, it's been a long time."
The unfamiliar nun rose and bowed, then looked up at Rudd. Their eyes met, and in the depths of the nun's deep red eyes, something mysterious and dangerous seemed to be hidden, something that made one want to explore it.
Holy crap! This woman is absolutely a slut!
He secretly labeled the other person as "dangerous" in his mind, but Lu De remained unmoved on the surface and continued to play along, pretending to be very familiar with the other person.
"Kid, I really didn't expect you to come at this time. It must have been a long and tiring journey. Come on! Introduce yourself to everyone."
Seemingly unintentionally, Ludd passed the buck back. He didn't recognize the enchanting nun at all. Rather than risk making up a name on the spot, he figured it was better to let her introduce herself, and then he could follow up. Ludd's clever approach earned him a knowing smile from Hume.
"That slippery fellow."
When Luther asked her to introduce herself, the unfamiliar nun didn't mince words. She bowed to the villagers who had come to watch the spectacle with perfect religious etiquette, and then spoke in a gentle and elegant voice.
“My name is Shanis Yebul. I am a disciple of Master Lud. I will continue to follow my master in my practice at the local temple. I am very happy to meet the villagers of Pine Village.”
"Oh! Welcome, welcome!"
"This girl seems much smarter than Aina."
The villagers chattered amongst themselves, while many young men stared intently at Shanis, their expressions growing increasingly blank, almost drooling.
By this time, Luther had a vague idea of the nun's identity, but since there were other people present, it was inconvenient for him to ask Hume for clarification.
So Lude suggested that since the village had recently taken in many refugees, there were no spare rooms left. It had also just snowed a few days ago, so it wouldn't be appropriate for these two mercenaries who had come from afar to sleep in the barn or stable. Instead, he suggested that a few of them stay temporarily at his temple to thank them for their kindness in escorting "his disciple" along the way.
Village chief Rom had been planning this for a while, which is why he specifically asked his son to invite Lud over. Now that Lud has brought it up himself, Rom naturally has no reason to object.
"Then I'll trouble you, High Priest. I'll arrange for the food to be delivered."
And so, the three newcomers were led back by Ludwig, and the villagers, seeing that it was getting late, dispersed and went home. The group returned to the temple, and Ludwig closed the gate, then turned to Hume and asked...
"Are you deliberately messing with me, sister?"
"What's wrong? Did I do something?"
"Don't play dumb, who the hell is this?"
He casually removed his mask and pointed to the nun who claimed to be his disciple. He already had a guess in mind, but he needed confirmation from Hume or the nun herself.
Seeing that Ludwig was clearly angry, Hume stopped teasing him and spoke more seriously.
"Actually, you should have already guessed who she is. That's right! She is the new god created by Perseus, the god of lust, Shabukorn Yenis. I shortened and rearranged the syllables of her name to use as her alias when she walks among humans."
"I thought she..."
"You thought she was killed? He was indeed badly beaten by the Sun Knights of the Holy Light Church. But as I told you before, mortals cannot kill gods with swords and magic. To protect her, Perseus had her fake her death when facing the knights' attack, and then he took you with him to run away, using you as bait to lure away the pursuing Sun Knights."
"It sounds like my advisor doesn't care about me at all."
"If you put it that way... you're not wrong!"
Hume shrugged. In Perseus's eyes, Rudd, the servant he bought for ten silver coins, was indeed of a lower status than the god he had created.
However, Perseus was dead after all, and Ludwig had now inherited his mantle and even surpassed his master. So Hume brought Shanes, who had always been under her protection, over and prepared to hand her over to Ludwig as well.
Lu De thought to himself, "You really think highly of me. Your temple isn't very big, but you have quite a few goddesses enshrined here. It's almost turning into a 'Shepherd's Tale'!"
However, having many goddesses isn't all bad. Lúth had some new ideas after returning from Unos, and now he finally had the opportunity to give it a try.
End of this chapter
Three women make a drama, three goddesses make a TV series!
The temple, which usually becomes deserted after sunset, suddenly became lively with the arrival of Hume and his party.
The first thing Hume and Fallen Leaf did upon arrival was to thoroughly search the temple, inside and out, much like a criminal gang scouting the place. In their own words, this was to prepare for an emergency evacuation in case of unforeseen circumstances; it had become a professional habit.
Shanes, however, asked Ludwig an even more explosive question.
Are there any chicken coops in the village?
"..."
This question completely baffled Lud. Putting aside the fact that Pine Village didn't yet have such a "public welfare institution," even if it did, was a nun looking for a brothel to spend money or to make money?
Fortunately, Hume came over to explain that Shanes wasn't looking for such a place to have fun, but rather to "eat".
Because the "goddess" that the old astrologer established for Shanis was the goddess of desire who governs lust, she could use the special nature of this goddess to not only gain faith from the prayers of believers, but also to treat matters between men and women as a kind of "sacrifice" and draw strength from them.
So for Shanis, the high-class brothel was like a canteen!
