Chapter 351 Sharp Contrast
The quarrel between ordinary citizens and Viscount Tostin was extremely fierce.
Emotions overwhelm me, and I don’t care about face or etiquette.
The citizens’ demands are plainly stated:
Without the help provided by the Glow Cult, nobles like Viscount Tostin who are loyal to the king have the responsibility to protect them.
This shelter includes providing them with basic supplies to survive.
For example, rescue them and take refuge in the manor.
Faced with expensive survival supplies, they felt that nobles should also contribute and help in disasters.
The reason why Viscount Tostin insisted on not giving in was that it was clear that the Glow Divine Sect was already in the front.
Because the Glow Divine Cult temporarily took over the order of Ceylon City, it even called on the nobles to come together to protect the safety of the refuge camp.
As long as any citizen has hands and feet to collect and carry supplies under the protection of the Crusaders, they will not die of hunger, thirst or cold.
Why should the nobles spend their own money to take care of these citizens who can "support themselves".
The two sides were at loggerheads.
In the end, the citizens forced Viscount Tostin to give in half a step.
He promised to donate part of his property to the Glow Cult.
It is used as a subsidy so that materials can be supplied to citizens in need at reduced prices.
Viscount Tostin insisted on the donation amount and said viciously:
"10 gold coins, that's all!"
"This is a voluntary donation from me. It is not my task and it is not my responsibility."
Pet Twain was stunned.
Before this, he really didn't think about it.
Monsters cannot rush into the refuge camp, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
With such favorable conditions, shouldn’t people help each other and help each other?
Why has the environment here become so bad? People are full of suspicion, hostility and contradictions.
Living conditions are even worse.
People argue endlessly over the ownership of a mouthful of water and a piece of bread.
This is still the case in the city of Ceylon where the Glow God Religion maintains order.
He could not even imagine how bad the situation in other villages and towns in the Ceylon region was!
…
Raven Town.
Miranda led the team and hurried to Baron Franklin's manor.
She was relieved when she saw with her own eyes that Gale was in good condition.
Although they had already exchanged information with each other through magic on the way here, in the end it was still reassuring to see the real person.
This group of supporting believers is the main force of the Qiuzhi Church, with nearly a hundred people in number!
Believers who are good at fighting went to eliminate the monsters entrenched in the town little by little. While improving the stability of the area, they could also earn points and experience rewarded by Noven.
The relatively small number of stalkers is a group of its own.
They also have their own unique advantages. They can bypass the wandering and entrenched monsters and find the lonely and trapped townspeople.
After confirming the location, report the information to the main force and organize manpower to launch rescue.
The pastors and believers headed by Miranda immediately began to support and purify various materials on the spot.
The golden magical light lit up one after another, lighting up the manor like daylight.
The water source is quickly purified.
The townspeople who had endured thirst for most of the day were finally able to take a sip of safe water.
Not to mention the food.
Considering the pressure on material supply, before departure, believers near the Misty Valley ran to the Altar of Creation to directly increase the amount of bread that could be redeemed that day to the upper limit.
Bring as much as you can.
Anyway, this thing can be generated out of thin air by a miracle every day, so there is no need to worry about the source.
This time there is a carriage on the way, and it will only take more than a day to reach the destination.
Plus the refrigeration effect provided by ice magic.
At most, the taste of the bread has deteriorated a little, but it does not affect normal consumption at all.
There are also various other grains catalyzed by the harvest magic, which are also transported by believers. Some believers planned to simply be responsible for the transportation. After unloading the materials carried on the flatbed carriage, they would immediately return to the territory of the Qiuzhi Church.
They plan to go back and deliver a new batch of supplies!
Supplies enough to fill everyone's stomachs were piled into a hill in the open space of the manor.
As long as it is not wasted, there is no limit to the supply of materials. You can get as much as you want, and it’s completely free!
When the townspeople learned that a new group of believers of the God of Knowledge had arrived to provide rescue, they immediately burst into great enthusiasm.
"Thank you for your help!"
"I still have some money at home. Whenever I can go home, I am willing to donate it all in return!"
Who knows.
After hearing this, the believers who sought knowledge said one after another that their assistance came from the guidance sent down by the gods, and the god seeking knowledge had already given them the rewards they deserved.
The townspeople were even more enthusiastic.
“Praise the God of knowledge!”
"He is the greatest god I have ever seen!"
The previous batch of believers who didn't even leave their names but who sacrificed their lives to save them had left a deep impression on them.
This batch of support moved them even more.
“Knowledge-seeking believers are all selfless and good people!”
Prior to this, many townspeople were mentally prepared to lose a lot of wealth in the face of such a disaster. Their bottom line was already so low that they could accept it as long as they did not lose their homes and become refugees.
What I didn't expect was.
Not only did the seekers of knowledge not receive any money from them as a reward.
He even stated in advance:
"When this disaster is over, we will actually have a huge demand for the magic plants grown near Raven Town."
"If you want to repay us, why not sign a pre-emptive acquisition contract?"
"We are willing to purchase large quantities of your products at market prices!"
Upon hearing this, the citizens of Raven Town naturally had no objections and agreed one after another, taking the initiative to make promises:
"Don't worry!"
"From now on, you will be Raven Town's top priority buyers. All our output will be given to you first. Only the excess will be considered for other merchants!"
"This is a reward for the righteous deeds of all heroes!"
…
Similar scenes appeared in villages and towns one after another in Ceylon.
The golden glow that ordinary people have been waiting for has not arrived.
What awaits are sparks spreading in the wilderness.
A team of believers belonging to the Church of Seeking Knowledge rushed into the Ceylon Territory as quickly as possible and launched rescue operations towards different goals.
Raven Town, Qim Town, Niuyan Town...
Lewis Village, Cody Village, Plum Village…
The sparks flickered and soon turned into blazing torches.
It was a fire lit by ordinary people who had been rescued and believers seeking knowledge who came to help.
The warm and bright flame symbolizes the hope of survival.
The 48th hour of the Ceylon Night.
Except for the city of Ceylon.
All 6 small towns and 19 villages in the entire region have received comprehensive rescue efforts from believers seeking knowledge.
As long as the attacks of monsters can be withstood, as the ordinary people in the area stabilize and regain hope, the stability of the area in the mission will be improved. Correspondingly——
The Castle of the Countess of Ceylon was marked as the most polluted by Norwin, the god of knowledge.
The above "unblocking" progress has begun to slowly move forward.
