Chapter 486 143. "The Temples"
The early morning sea fog enveloped the awakening Liberty City.
The residents who had rested all night were ready to get busy. The sea fog has not yet receded, and the smoke from cooking has once again enveloped this small town called Liberty City.
Lewgang is unemployed because no new buildings are being built in the city, and is preparing to try his luck on the Great Wall in the North - the Free City has no city wall, but there is a northern wall under construction extending from the foot of the forest mountains to the east. long wall.
As a result, he was recruited by the city lord's palace, and it was said that he wanted to build a magnificent cathedral in the city.
The wife who made him proud - less than one tenth of the people in Breeze City had a wife who urged him to go without even asking for wages. Everyone felt honored to be able to build a church for the God they believed in.
Loew only has a little faith in the goddess of wealth, but his neighbor Jimmy is a devout believer, but he was recruited to dig rivers. He also came to the door with a few pounds of dried fish, hoping to trade with Loew For a moment -
"Sorry, my belief in gods is equally devout."
Loew rejected him... What if building a church can be blessed by the goddess of wealth?
We set out to find a site for the church, which was still a wasteland. The commercial street was right next door.
"Who knows how to read the drawings!"
The Minister of Construction, who could only hear the voice but could not see the person, shouted.
"I..." Loew, who found that his voice was drowned in the noisy crowd, raised his hands and shouted: "Me!"
The crowd parted, and a low wine barrel "rolled" Come over.
“Very good, now you are the captain, choose five people to follow you.”
Wine... no, the kind dwarf threw a drawing to Loew, and Loew straightened his back unconsciously in response to the gazes of the people around him.
"Loew, how the hell do you know how to read drawings!" People who knew him yelled jealously.
"I'm in the workers' class at school." Loew raised his head proudly, "You guys are either taking magic classes or potions classes... Do you mudbloods deserve to be mage masters?"< br>
Loew selected five workers who did not scold him amidst the bursts of scolding, and ran to the construction site to take a look at the drawings first. His first impression was the movement in the guest room on the second floor of the tavern... Oh, what a blasphemous thought!
But the drawing did divide a church into small churches. Then Eli Rubble called these captains together and told them that this would be a pantheon of gods with statues of all the gods inside - and You will be the builders of this eternal temple.
The captains were excited, and then they began the boring work of laying the foundation...
It is still far from starting to build the church. They have to lay the foundation first, and it is estimated that it will not be completed until the rainy season... Without the earth element, everything Construction was forced to slow down.
It will be difficult for them to repeat the miracle of building Liberty City in the first two months.
Working from early morning to night, the workers received their salary: one silver coin, and the captain gave an additional 50 copper coins.
Many workers refused to receive wages because they did not want money to blaspheme their beliefs.
"Take it, this is given to you by the city lord."
But there is another inequality in Liberty City: Annan is greater than the gods.
Loew therefore accepted his wages without any sense of guilt. Even the goddess of wealth would be pleased to know this.
“We should give Lord Annan a place in the temples!”
A shout came from somewhere.
......
"They are also talking about making you a god." Ingrid said.
Annan, who was flipping through a geography book and pretending to study hard, raised his head: "Become a god?"
"The God of Magical Images."
Annan's newly rising curiosity The fire was extinguished: "...let's forget it."
"Really don't want it? I don't think legends or demigods will compete with you for this priesthood."
Annan thought of gathering with a bunch of gods in the future:
"I am the God of Light. I fill this world with light."
"I am the goddess of the ocean, I control the entire ocean." It was Annan's turn to say, "I am the god of magical images, and I take magical images for everyone to see." br>
Ingrid showed a look of regret: "There have been some rumors in the city recently, about the mad dog... Rumors about the "Grand Duke" Gilles planning to attack Liberty City are spreading.
"We shouldn't have Is there any trade with surrounding towns? "
"The news brought by the merchant ships also said that the "Grand Duke" Gilles was preparing to conquer us, so the merchant ships brought food and resources. "
Annan thought of the many ships floating on the bay these days, which do not dock or leave. It seems that this is the reason.
"Didn't you tell them our purchase price? ”
"I told you, they are going to sell us food and resources, as well as the location on the ship when we are attacked by the Mad...Ji...Mad Dog Archduke." Ingrid finally succumbed to Annan's title.
"It seems that they are going to waste a lot of time and money.
Annan has no sympathy at all for these businessmen who are waiting for a price: "Where are our mercenaries? "
Annan handed over this matter to Francois. He has been making arrangements for the mercenary guild to come to Liberty City a few days ago.
"The mercenary guild agreed to settle in, and I temporarily Put the guild in an empty warehouse, and a master-level mercenary group accepted our commission. ”
"Master level?"
"The leader needs to be a master professional and complete the challenge." Ingrid has become accustomed to Annan's lack of knowledge and skill. Expel all existence."
This should solve the problem of insufficient manpower in Liberty City.
Annan, who was leaning on the sofa, sat up a little straighter: "Do you think this mercenary will stay in Liberty City forever?"
"Their leader is a man."
"It seems there is no chance... Remember to ask Francois to find some mercenaries who have a chance to stay in Liberty City."
Ingrid wanted to continue talking about government affairs, but the astute Annan said Interdicted her: "Is Lilith still studying with Dean Blehim?"
"Yes."
"Find a reason to let the mercenary group see Blehim Yard. Long. ”
This should eliminate some unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, about-"
Annan turned a page: "If you have nothing else to do, just go and get busy. I'm going to continue reading."
"Okay."
Ingrid didn't say anything else. When she was leaving, she suddenly turned around and said, "You held the book backwards."
Annan's movements paused, then returned to normal and said: "I was practicing reading the book backwards. Ability.”
"What is the meaning?"
Annan put down the overturned book and said solemnly: "Perhaps one day in the future, I will be caught by bad people, and they will hang me upside down, and a book will be placed not far away. The book here will be my lifeline.”
Ingrid’s response was to close the door and leave.
Annan breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at the window: Lily was stepping on the flower bed and jumping to the window sill.
"A cat sees a silly cat."
"Is it playing outside?"
"Yeah." Lily lay on the window sill to bask in the sun.
Annan couldn't help but want to touch a few. When he came to the window, he suddenly squinted and looked out at the street.
The witch is wandering outside the city lord's mansion.
