Chapter 234: Scheme
The hot sun, as always, shone on the high walls of Ujung Pandang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Thor sat on the head of the city, sunbathing, which has become his favorite activity lately.
It's a wonderful feeling to lie in a special rocking chair, close your eyes, and surrender your mind to another doppelganger, Add.
Add, along with Ketuma, Mark and others, have followed Isgerin to Worms, for Kettuma, Worms is no stranger, and Eddie has Thor's memories, so he is also familiar.
Only Mark and the others, who had come into contact with such a city for the first time, were almost overwhelmed with excitement.
It's not like any other city in country M, and they naturally choose to visit it before meeting Susie Conrad.
Today's Thor is also the head snake of Worms, and before Eddie set off, Thor had sent a letter to Malten and Morey with carrier pigeons, so a few people got off the boat and were naturally greeted by people from the Soth Chamber of Commerce.
Saul has already explained in the letter that for some reason, this "Eddie" can fully represent himself, so that Morey and Malten must treat Eddie as their own, and the implication is nothing more than that the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce during this period of time should be reported to Eddie.
But now that Eddie and the others have just arrived, Thor observes Worms through their eyes, which feels like he remembers watching TV, but Eddie and the others did not choose to listen to the report first, but planned to go to the street first.
"Hmm...... Why do you always feel that the bazaar has expanded a little-" Thor lay on the chaise longue with his eyes closed, only to feel indescribably comfortable, and the memories of the long-lost Worms market also flooded back his mind.
"Wow, Malten, they're still eating at this tavern—" Thor missed seeing Marten and Morey personally bring Eddie to the tavern next to the lower warehouse, and Thor missed it even more.
The sign on the outside of the tavern has not changed, but the interior has been completely renovated, and the place where Thor and the others once sat for the longest time has now been replaced by a large round table with backrests on the edge of the table, which looks very comfortable to sit on.
A small partition separated it from the outside, as if it were a separate little world, and when he saw Malten and Morey coming, the tavern owner himself stepped forward and led several people into the small partition with a smile on his face.
Needless to say, Thor could guess that this tavern can now be renovated and seems to be doing better business, it must have something to do with the Soth Chamber of Commerce, and maybe the Chamber of Commerce has also invested money in the tavern.
When he left Worms before, Thor had discussed with Marten and Morey about the future of the Souths Chamber of Commerce.
He doesn't plan to rely on soap all the time, although the odd goods can live, but people's enthusiasm will always cool down one day, and the price of soap will always fall, so Saul's idea is to rely on soap to accumulate a sum of money, and then use this money to invest in other industries as much as possible, rolling money up like a snowball.
Thor was about to use the mouth of "Eddie" to ask Malten and Morey, but he didn't expect a familiar call to suddenly sound in his ears:
"Your Majesty—Your Majesty—"
Saul opened his eyes and saw Maxwell standing in front of him with Jenner, Franklin, and Gliston, who had promised to submit to him, along with Diana.
Thor sighed, he knew there was no way to care about Eddie's situation now, he still had a lot of things to deal with right now.
So Thor gouged out his ears, looked at Maxwell who was hunched over, and asked a little lazily:
"What's the matter?"
Maxwell smiled humbly and replied, "Your Majesty, the quarters and lodging of several scholars have been arranged, and they will be treated as you say. ”
Thor nodded, the priest is the most basic position of the Thor Sect, located under the practitioner, and can be said to be the foundation of the foundation.
Only by becoming a priest can he be regarded as a member of the sect who has truly been recognized by the Sos Sect, and the priests are divided into lower-level priests, middle-level priests and higher-level priests.
You must know that the number of practitioners in the entire Soth Sect is extremely rare now, and they can be regarded as big names in the country, and the identities of Diana, Black Tooth and others at the top of the pyramid are just priests one level higher than the practitioners.
"Thank you, Your Majesty—" Jenner, Gliston, and the others behind Maxwell bent down and said in unison.
They had now changed into a clean white robe, a mixture of the Sothians and the Votan continent with some Servelo-style new clothes, which were currently being made in the textile mill that Diana was running.
This is specially sewn for the Soth insiders, using the best silk and the best women in the whole wilderness weaving skills.
There is also a small golden eye pinned to the chest, which is the symbol of the priests, the lower priests are made of bronze, the intermediate priests are silver, and only the senior priests are gold, needless to say, these are from the craftsmanship of the dwarves.
Gliston and the others' gratitude was not inconsistent, and when they came out of prison, they realized that perhaps the reality they faced was a little different from what they imagined.
This reality is much more "beautiful" than imagined?
Thor was originally a brutal and tyrannical demon king in their hearts, and it was impossible to kidnap them to such a different world by various means for no reason, and it was impossible to say that they did not resist in their hearts.
But after being released, they were treated with such a grand courtesy that everyone couldn't help but feel a little grateful in their hearts.
Franklin clearly understood that this might mean that everyone was more or less affected by Stockholm syndrome, but he also had no choice but to put the bar high enough for Saul.
Not only were they housed in the inner city's shrine, but there were also special servants to serve, and these scholars from other worlds had never enjoyed such service, and in their world, slavery had long been abolished.
And when they go out in white robes and badges, the ordinary people they meet on the street will spontaneously give way to them, and stand silently to the side, making some incomprehensible gestures to them, as if to worship and express their respect.
In such an environment, some people also have thoughts in their hearts, "It seems that this place is good", and "If you can't go back, then it's good to stay here".
Of course, the more important point is that Thor is not the terrifying demon king they imagined, but a monarch with huge contrasts and usually quite casual, but the Miss Diana who has only been in contact with it a few times, makes Gliston and others unanimously think that it is the most tricky existence.
