"Uhhh

The pain can be described as a piercing pain. Even though I had long known that the process of blessing was not easy, I did not expect it to be so painful. He bit the wooden stick that the church had prepared for them beforehand, and at this time he only felt that his bones were about to be crushed.

Still, he was trying to endure with all his might, because it was the price necessary to obtain otherworldly powers. Therefore, no matter how painful it is, you must grit your teeth and persevere.

No matter how intense the pain in his body was, Xisaki tried desperately to stay awake. It was not easy for him to get to this point, and Xiqi naturally didn't want to fail at this time.

Thus, even the intense pain in his body seemed to kill him. He was also desperately holding on. And so it is with him, as with others who are receiving blessings.

The pain was unbearable, but it wasn't enough to bring them down.

Therefore, the leader of the Holy Land who was watching the ceremony couldn't help but smile and nodded at this time, "The candidates selected this time are indeed much stronger than the last time.

I remember that last time, the blessing ceremony was only halfway through, and more than a dozen people were eliminated from the tournament because they couldn't bear the pain. But you see, none of them have appeared this time. Not bad, not bad!"

"Yes, it's really stronger than the next. That's a good thing!"

On the side, an old tribal warrior who had been blessed three times smiled and nodded. Needless to say, this nearly 100-year-old tribal warrior is also the first person to be blessed.

Therefore, they sincerely hope that the young people can catch up from behind, and then make the tribe and Xihe more prosperous and powerful.

And because of this, the two of them talked and talked, and they also brought the topic to a major event that they knew was about to happen.

"I heard that after this blessing ceremony is over, these young people will be sent to Xiping City for training. Is that right?" the old tribal warrior asked him.

"That's right," Tam Wenyan nodded, "Young people should go through a few more trials. It's helpful to them, it's a good thing. ”

"Is that going to be a new expedition to the west?"

"A new crusade to the west? no, not anytime soon. "Tam is the current leader of the Holy Land, and he is also the oldest person in the tribe and Xi He. Knowing a lot of things that other people don't even know.

Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't help but look at the old friend beside him and said, "At the beginning, Ms. Lin, who was stationed in Xiping City, really had this idea, wanting to start a westward expedition again while the iron was hot.

But the archbishop could not agree, saying that now was not the time. ”

"W-why?" said the old tribal warrior's face suddenly brightened with frustration.

The rammer on the side couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "I know that you, an old fellow, are also eager to participate in a western expedition against the orcs, but you don't have to worry, there will always be a chance in the future." ”

"Well, that being said. But I still have a few years to live!"

sighed. It's just that death due to birth, old age, sickness and death is now inescapable for anyone. Even if you are blessed three times, your life expectancy is much longer than that of ordinary people. But they will still grow old and die.

Therefore, the old tribe warrior in front of him wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was still young now, and he might make up for his regrets. And if you're lucky enough, you might be able to make a big deal like Sinner Lynch and soar to the sky.

Then the life expectancy that is about to come to an end will be extended by a few decades.

Therefore, the old tribe warrior in front of him couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "I missed the opportunity the first time, but I really don't want to miss the second opportunity." ”

"Well, I understand. But you always have to think about the actual situation. ”

Tam understands the mood of old friends. But because he himself had been blessed by Liang Tian four times earlier, he was also the leader of the tribe's holy land. Theoretically, the limit of what a believer can achieve has been reached. Therefore, it is inevitable to be more indifferent in terms of mood.

And this couldn't help but make him look at his old friend and say, "In last year's Western Expedition, we did achieve a brilliant victory. But you also have to know that the church tribe and Xihe also paid a great price for this.

Rewards, pensions, weapons, rations, and all kinds of financial expenditures have hollowed out the tribes and churches. Now, even if we have the heart, we are powerless!

So in my opinion, this is why the Archbishop did not agree to another expedition to the west this year. Because now we desperately need to recuperate!"

"Hey, okay, okay. ”

Nodding, what could the old tribal warrior say. I can't ignore the general situation.

It's just that the two don't know that the main reason why Archbishop Bell does not agree to launch another expedition to the west this year is not because of insufficient money, food and materials. And it's just that Liang Tian is now asleep that Ling Bell can't help but worry that if the Western Expedition fails, the situation will be irreparable.

Therefore, I am afraid that in the next few years, there will be no big moves on the side of the church.

But that's not a good thing. Just because at this time, the gains brought by the Western Expedition are not enough to compensate for the losses of the Western Expedition. Today's tribes and Xihe are all agricultural civilizations, and the biggest driving force for the expansion of agricultural civilization is the land that can be used to cultivate food.

But now, both the tribe and Xihe are all vast and sparsely populated, and the land within their own territory is still not exhausted. The land of the orc kingdom, thousands of miles away, was even less attractive to them.

Therefore, after the first expedition to the west, most of the hard currencies brought back by the witch Lin were gold, silver, treasures, etc. However, although these things are precious, they cannot be eaten or worn, and coupled with the limitation of the level of productivity, the plundering of these hard currencies from the orcs will cause inflation and cause prices to rise. It's not a good thing at all.

Therefore, compared with foreign conquests that are not beneficial, it is really better to develop peacefully and steadily for a few years and further increase the size of the population. At this time, population is everything.

This is the result of thinking in the long run.

So back to now, when the conversation between Tam and his old friend is over, this blessing ceremony is finally coming to an end. After suffering as if it could crush bones, the fresh blood of these 700 churches finally gained otherworldly power.

Therefore, at this time, they are like new students. Although the person is still the same person, his temperament, body shape, and even skin color are very different from before.

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Kizaki felt the majestic power in his body. There was no need for the archbishop bell to say anything, and the group immediately knelt on the ground respectfully, facing the direction of Liang Tian's body, and bowed their heads.
