Chapter 21 Present and Future

"Praise the Lord, may the dark moon never fall." Seeing the door of the Dark Moon Hall of the Temple of the Gods slowly close in front of him, Shur, with a holy smile, circled his fingers on his chest, and prayed softly to the goddess, "In the name of the Lord, we will do our best to spread your majesty to every corner of the twisted void, and praise the lightless moon, holy."

"In the name of the Lord, holy." Lisa made the same move beside Shur.

"Yeah." At the moment when the door was completely closed, the brother and sister who were calm and sophisticated a second ago, with a priestly posture, gave loud cheers and slapped in ease. "I'm finally free, praise my Lord!"

Behind the two, the steady Pastor Talinna led two children who had matured a lot in almost a month, and showed helpless expressions to the brother and sister who had completely abandoned the etiquette of the priest. The two did not rude in front of others, and Talinna was not good at nagging, but she always felt something was wrong, so she had to hug the two children by her side and block their sight: "I didn't see it, I didn't see it, you didn't see anything. Remember, don't learn from the priest, you must be a good person in the future."

In fact, it is no wonder that Shul and Lisa are so happy. In the nearly one month of the Temple of the Gods, it is like a nightmare. They receive endless visitors and handle endless affairs. Now the Temple of the Dark Moon is in a mess, so there are naturally a pile of problems that need to be solved. In fact, there are only a small part of the Temple of the Gods.

It doesn't matter to Shur. When he was in his hometown, he controlled tens of thousands of square kilometers of family territory at his most glorious time, in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of people, and coordinated the work of hundreds of family officials. He had to deal with much more problems every day than now. For Shur, most of the simple matters of the Dark Moon Temple can handle them properly without even using his brain.

However, Lisa is not good. Although she has learned a lot from Shuer, she is still a novice after all. Many problems need to be considered repeatedly to find a more appropriate solution. Therefore, by the last period, the girl was almost numb, and even dreaming at night that she was dealing with official duties.

However, everything has passed. According to Shuer, the first step has been taken, and important issues have been solved. The garrison of the Temple of the Gods has come to an end for the time being, and everyone can go home. It will not be until the celebration of the worship hall of the Rose Capital that the Dark Moon Hall will be opened again, but after that time, someone will have to stay for a long time.

Although the two children who followed Tallinna, Eddie and Susan, are only nine years old and are far from adulthood, after this month of training, they are all the big men from major churches every day. Under the influence of the edification, whether they have vision or knowledge, they are not comparable to one month ago. I guess when they go back, the other four children will be shocked.

"Brother, I decided." After the excited celebration, Lisa calmed down and snuggled beside Shul and walked towards the interior of the Holy Hall at the same speed. She held his hand as she did when she was a child and swung her arms, as if she was doing some interesting games. "You are right, the children are the future of the church and need to continue to receive a good education. However, when the Holy Hall needs to reopen, I still plan to let the children come to the Holy Hall to garrison."

"Oh?" he smiled casually. Although it was obviously not in line with Shuer's plan, he did not object. Instead, he said leisurely, "Every individual is independent. For everyone, there will always be some things in life that need to make independent decisions and implement them. Accordingly, you have to bear the consequences of this decision. You have reached this stage, so please feel free to drive your rights."

"Don't worry about making mistakes, don't be afraid to take detours. Now our Dark Moon Temple is not like the past. We didn't dare to make a mistake in the past because at that time, no one retreated. If you take a mistake in one step, you may face destruction. But now it is different. The temple has a fault tolerance rate, so no matter what your decision is, please do it with confidence and boldness. Even if you really make a mistake in the end, don't worry, haha, my favorite thing is to help Lisa solve the problem."

"Hehe..." The girl had a sweet smile on her face and threw her arm higher, "But, I still want to tell my brother my decision, please help me think about where there are mistakes and where there are not comprehensive enough, is it okay?"

"Of course." Shul narrowed his eyes, "Your decision doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. No matter how you decide, it makes sense, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It's okay, tell me, I'll listen."

"That's how I think." Lisa suddenly stopped and turned to face Shul. Talinna heard the two of them discussing key issues. She wanted to leave with the children, but was stopped by Lisa. "Auntie Talinna, now the ten people in our Dark Moon Temple, including Aunt Meria and the other four children, are the most core members of the church. No matter how the church develops in the future, you will be the most important part of it, so I have no intention of hiding it from you. Similar words, I will also explain it to Aunt Meria and the others after I go back, so you don't need to avoid it."

Facing Lisa's familiar clear eyes, Talinna nodded heavily. When she looked up, she saw a smiley expression on Shul's face, as if she was saying, "Look, I've told you a long time ago."

"After talking to my brother that day, I thought about it for a long time. I tried to learn from my brother's method, analyze it from various angles, and try to ensure comprehensiveness." The girl stood in front of several familiar relatives and said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, the worship hall in the Rose Capital can be completed in one month. No matter how slow we organize, it can be reopened in two months."

"It's about the same time as expected." Shul calculated and nodded, "It's just a little faster, so what?"

"But I decided to leave it for a while after it is built." Lisa looked serious, "and reopened in half a year."

"Huh?" Shur raised his eyebrows. He knew Lisa very well. The girl actually attached great importance to the worship hall affiliated to the main hall and had always been looking forward to the reconstruction of the worship hall. After she negotiated with the Rose family to rebuild the worship hall, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well for several nights. For her, it was good to see the worship hall open the door one day earlier to welcome the believers. Unexpectedly, she had the plan to delay for another four or five months. Regardless of whether the decision was right or wrong, if she had this idea, it proved that she was already a qualified leader. At least she had the two most important characteristics of stability and choice that the leader must have, and she knew how to suppress her likes and dislikes for the sake of the overall situation.

"In the past six months, I hope that Suff's school can provide intensive teaching for these children so that they can acquire as much knowledge as possible. They are indeed young, the youngest is only six years old, but they all come from difficulties and are more sensible and precocious than most children. Although intensive teaching will be hard, they should be able to bear it, as long as they are willing to give their contributions to the temple. Eddie, Susan, are you willing?"

"Will." The two children seemed to understand, but in their eyes, the temple was their home. For their own home, what's the point of working harder? "Sister Bishop, it doesn't matter what we give."

"Thank you, thank you." Lisa bit her lip and touched the heads of the two children, "Brother, they don't object."

"Well..." Xiuer gently tapped his thigh and said thoughtfully, "Continue."

"After half a year, the worship hall and the Dark Moon Hall reopened at the same time. Aunt Talinna and Aunt Meria took turns to the Holy Hall to be on duty, while the other was responsible for the worship hall in the Rose Capital, which was rotated once a month. The main hall was my brother and I. When my brother was away, I could also support it for a while. Hehe, even Eddie and Susan were not afraid of hardship, so of course I was not afraid of it." Although Lisa smiled, her tone was very firm. "As for Eddie and Susan, one would stay in the Rose Capital to continue learning, and the other would come to the Holy Hall to take turns to learn, and learn how to serve the gods, and exchange them once every half month."

"Brother, I think the experience I learned here is part of the knowledge they need to acquire, and is as important as what they learned in school, so I hope they can learn both of these knowledge at the same time. After all, even if they cannot become pastors in the future, they can only act in the church as priests and nuns, and these things must be mastered."

"Ha..." Shuer nodded slightly, "I have no reason to object so far, so you continue to talk about your plan."

"For the six children of the temple, I hope that from the age of eight, they will take turns to serve the Holy Hall like Eddie Susan. When they grow up in a few years, they can take responsibility independently, and they will be responsible for the operation of the worship halls in various cities. I hope that they can grow up with the temple and witness the revival of the temple together." Lisa considered that there were obviously many things, and her eyes became brighter the more she said. "As for other students of Saf, if their faith is pious enough and willing to join the temple to serve the goddess for life, then from the age of twelve, they will take turns to participate in daily activities in the worship hall of the Rose Capital and exercise their ability to work. This will not only strengthen their sense of belonging to the temple and the goddess without delaying the school's courses, but also allow the church to go through the most difficult blank period of the first ten years."

"I'm very greedy, brother, I want the future, but I don't want to give up now. Since that's the case, why don't I just hold both? Although my brother has taught me that I need to know to give up when necessary, I think that it's not yet at the point where I have to give up anything. As long as I control it well, I can have both the present and the future at the same time."
