Chapter 182 Going Home
The resurrection ceremony ended and the sky became dark.
Taking advantage of the night, Ryan and the other archangels also happened to leave.
Obviously, their angel wings can freely control whether to shine or not, otherwise they would not be able to hide even if they wanted to at this stage when the moonlight has not yet come out.
“I haven’t had time to congratulate you, my lord!”
The teacher whom she had met briefly moved away again, and entered a more dangerous battlefield. Elena was sad and sad in her heart, but she didn't show it at all.
Not only did she not reveal her inner worries, she also used the bright smile on her face to give Xu Lai, who had just made a major decision, some comfort.
It’s not difficult to tell from the box in his hand what kind of choice he made. The key is that Ryan and the others didn’t give him much time to think about it.
This group of people came and left in a hurry, delivering important treasures and props to Xu Lai, and also helped revive his high-level combat power.
Due to emotion and reason, Xu Lai could not even say anything to refuse.
But it was indeed too risky to go to the wild land, which made Xu Lai, who was confused about the future, feel terrified and didn't know whether his decision was correct.
However, under the influence of Elena, Xu Lai was able to put aside his worries temporarily.
In the final analysis, his idea did not come to him temporarily, but he couldn't hold it back as early as when he couldn't help himself on the battlefield.
If he continues to develop in a step-by-step manner now, maybe he will become stronger in a year or two, and he will temporarily go through a relatively peaceful stage.
However, when that time comes, whether it's the undead, the demons getting bigger, or the orcs invading again, he still can't stay out of it, and most likely he will still have to do it himself.
The idea of adventure has long been rooted in his heart.
To be honest, Bishop Duer's gift and Ryan's words were still no match for his true desire to be strong.
Since Xu Lai can be sure that going to the wilderness is his true idea, then the so-called fear no longer exists.
After putting away the wooden box, Xu Lai took out another blueprint from his space backpack, handed it to Elena and said:
“This is Archbishop Duer’s drawing when I joined the temple before. It was given to me as a gift.
Look, if I build this thing, will it have any impact on you? ”
The current church is an ordinary building, just like grocery stores and wooden houses. Anyone can enter and exit, and anyone can use it.
After it can be upgraded to a holy church, it becomes Hero building, you can recruit soldiers here
If Elena and the priests are homeless after the upgrade, and the believers in the town have no place to pray or worship, then Xu Lai might as well build a new church. Put it together with the buildings in the Archer Tower
Elena opened the drawing and took a look at it before returning it to Xu Lai and said: "Lord, don't worry, this will not affect us, it will only expand the existing church. .
Moreover, the priests in the Holy Church can also assume the same responsibilities as Tam and Jeffrey, blessing, worshiping, treating, etc. the people who come to the church.
The priests, priests, and knights of the temple can accumulate their own merits in this way. After getting enough merits, the God of War will grant us advancement.
I don’t know what will happen to the priests in the Holy Church. I estimate that the merit they accumulate will directly turn into experience, and it is ultimately up to you to decide whether to upgrade them. ”
After listening to Elena’s words, Xu Lai wanted to upgrade immediately, but he had just come back. He had been away for a long time when he was acting alone before, and this time it was longer.
< br>There are exactly three days left until July. Let’s get familiar with the situation today, and it’s not too late to take unified action tomorrow.
"How are you doing recently? I left just after you came. I promised Lord Ryan to take care of you before."
Elena smiled shyly, lowered her head and said: "Lord, you are too polite, we It's not like we need you to take care of us.
Due to the war with the stronghold recently, although our place is far away from the main battlefield, civilians come here from time to time.
Su Ya. My sister took them all in, and Tam, Jeffrey, and I have been trying to calm their emotions recently."
Xu Lai nodded and asked: "How are they living? So, are you having trouble with food, clothing, and housing?”
Xu Lai must have 100% trust in Su Ya and the others, but trust is trust and ability is ability, and the two cannot be confused.
Elina shook her head and said: "They are all very good. Sister Suya has built many houses and provided high-quality land. Many people come here because of her reputation.
There are also those who are making trouble. The news about your providing free housing and land to the first group of people, Lord, has spread. The people who came later are probably a little dissatisfied.
But they did not dare to tell Sister Su Ya and others, so they had no choice but to tell them. Make trouble for the previous groups of people."
Xu Lai frowned. Elena looked at it and said quickly: "Lord, don't be angry. Brother Aaron has already taught them a lesson. There are a few of them. The troublemakers were even sent to the quarry and forced to collect stones for a week before putting them back.”
Xu Lai's frown deepened, and he said to Elena: "You call me sister Su Ya, and you call me brother Aaron. Why do you always call me so formally?"
"Huh?" Elena said. His face turned red and he stammered for a long time without saying anything. Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "I promised you, teacher, that I will take good care of you. Don't call me lord or hero in the future."
"But I heard that you You are already a baron, and Count Aini has already entrusted you with all the surrounding land. You are already a veritable lord."
Xu Lai said with a smile: "That's true, but. Outsiders can call it this, Miss Elena, have you forgotten that we once visited the treasure house together and gave me many important seeds? "
Elena blushed and said: "That, that's what I should do."
Xu Lai shook his head and said: "Then I don't care, anyway, you are not allowed to shout like that."
" Well, what should I call you?"
"Whatever you want to call me is fine, just don't be so polite, why not just call me by my name"
Irene. Na looked at Xu Lai, bit her lip tightly, and remained silent for a long time.
Xu Lai laughed and was embarrassed to tease the little girl again, and then said:
"Okay, it's getting late. You go back and rest first. I will upgrade the church tomorrow."
< br>Elena breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what to call Xu Lai, so she simply didn't say anything and bowed directly to Xu Lai.
Speechless, Xu Lai touched the back of his head. After taking two steps, Xu Lai suddenly took advantage of Elena to get up and bowed as well, as a return gesture to her.
Elina instantly felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she froze there as if she was stupid.
The knights who brought the resurrection were greeted by Su Ya and Yu Lan after they had walked a few steps. In addition to them, there were also the big and small Aiboka, Urdola, Aaron, Wei Yihong, and even Lianglam Village. The head of Lazi Village is also there.
Xu Lai smiled slightly and said: "Why are you all crowded here? It's getting late and I haven't had dinner yet. Come and eat with me."
Xu Lai returned. I didn’t even notify my family in advance, and I couldn’t even if I wanted to.
Xu Lai kept two precious communication arrows and gave one to Su Ya. Obviously such a trivial matter was not worth wasting such a precious prop.
The dinner was not prepared and was not particularly sumptuous. Yu Lan had only planned to have a small banquet and drag Xu back and forth to the courtyard to eat alone.
In addition to these people, Xu Lai also asked people to call over Giselle, Tahan, Yan Feng and Dill who were resting.
Xu Lai does not have high requirements for food. Except for Wei Yihong, everyone present has only eaten a limited number of good things. There is fish, meat, vegetables and wine. Even in this troubled world, , a good life.
At the banquet, everyone wanted to report their work to Xu Lai, but Xu Lai waved his hand with a smile and said:
"Today is just a dinner party, no official business is discussed. Let's eat and let go." I won’t say hello to you until you start drinking.”
Xu Lai has no airs and is really just happy today. He is happy that he survived the battlefield and that most of the veterans he brought have come back to life. I'm glad that everything was fine at home during the time I was away.
Today was a day worth celebrating. He didn't want to be disturbed by other annoying things, so he simply didn't let them report to work.
The return of Xu Lai also represents the return of the backbone of Qingfeng Town, and everyone has peace of mind.
Otherwise, if Xu Lai died outside, there is no question whether this town can still exist. Even if it can still exist, people like them will definitely not be treated as well as they are now.
Not counting the two days he came back, Xu Lai has been away from Qingfeng Town for more than half a month.
Su Ya, who had Xu Lai's authorization, also built the town in a stylish manner according to Xu Lai's previous plan.
As large numbers of civilians fled, most of the farmers in Qingfeng Town returned to the town, either farming or building houses.
The collection of wood and stone has basically been handed over to outsiders, except for a few farmers who have switched jobs as lumberjacks and quarryers.
The method used before Xu Lai to divide land and houses when he came here is really not suitable for the current environment.
As soon as the fighting started in the front, people fleeing from the rear appeared in large numbers even in the no-man's land of Qingfeng Town. If houses and land were divided, people from the entire grassland might come over.
Therefore, Su Ya decided to use the work-for-relief method to provide jobs, temporary housing and food to these people, so that they can become self-sufficient as soon as possible.
This decision is the biggest trigger for the conflict between newcomers and old people.
Of course, Xu Lai doesn’t want to talk about any of these things today. He doesn’t want to talk about them. He just wants to get drunk happily.
However, even getting drunk has become difficult now. He, a person who had never drank before, drank several large glasses of strong alcohol today, but he was only slightly tipsy.
No way, with his current physique, even if he drank alcohol directly, he would have to drink two or three bottles before he would get drunk.
At night, Giselle, who thought she could finally chat with her sisters today, ended up sleeping alone in the wing room. Not long after the two sisters she had made an appointment with had just fallen asleep, He stayed out all night on the excuse of going to the toilet.
