Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Priest

In the early morning, the harbor trading city of Godzlag, which was established on the edge of the ocean, is a representative presentation of the development of human culture, the ancient people thought that they were almost useless at the seaside when they could not solve their own food and clothing, and the sea water there could not be drunk, and most of the creatures in the ocean were also very fierce, even if they lived on the island, the resources there were limited and a little pitiful, but now after millions of years of renewal and inheritance, the greatest embodiment of evolution is from human wisdom, The oceans are not so useless, they have been conquered since the invention of the ship.

The commercial trade brought a steady stream of resources to the cities established in the harbor, and even some of the citygoers of Cozlag liked this kind of life, most of them could also choose a suitable job in the port, and the exchange of trading ships could make some young people who were willing to work earn a fairly good wage, and the flow of trade ships also allowed Gothlag to open many taverns and hotels, including helping trade ships replenish supplies, etc., will give the inhabitants of Godslug a wealth far greater than that of other cities in the Empire.

But all this changed when the previous mayor came here, the huge tax made the trading merchant ships very distressed, and even some merchants were willing to take a little more detour to the next port city to replenish supplies, and at the same time, the mayor also imposed taxes on the residents of Gothrag, such as residence tax and work tax, and even the children here have to collect taxes when they go to school, the way to collect money is simply unbearable, Gothlag was originally a big trading city, but it turned out to be a little miasma by the mayor.

It is no wonder that the Revolutionary Army did not take any resistance to the situation when they came to Gothrag, especially after the Revolutionary Army shared the mayor's wealth, which made the Revolutionary Army support the majority of the citizens in the city.

It's just a pity that there are basically no merchant ships willing to come to Costlag to dock to buy goods for business replenishment, and there are also local specialties in Gothlag City, such as textiles, cloth, glassware, etc., and now there is no merchant ship to go back and forth, which is basically equivalent to making these local manufacturers in Gothlag City bankrupt.

Ham's previous job was to help merchants carry goods in the seaside port, and now he thought that life would be better without the hateful mayor, at least he didn't need to pay work tax, but to Ham's surprise, he didn't see any merchant ships coming and going in the port since the revolutionary army came here, although some merchants didn't have time to leave because the revolutionary army was in a hurry, but after the revolutionary army stabilized in the city, he didn't embarrass these foreign merchants, They have basically left, and the few lonely merchant ships that were originally in the harbor have also left in recent days, and none of them are visible.

There is no merchant ship and there is no job, there is no way to make money and ensure a source of livelihood without a job, and now even the processing shop is not recruiting, after all, the accumulated cloth goods and so on cannot be sold, and the goods in stock alone are enough for some bosses to have a headache, but fortunately, the mayor has issued a sum of corrupt money before the revolutionary army, which is enough for Ham and his son Matthews to support for a while...... But if no merchants come to Gothrag, I'm afraid that this seaport trading city will not have its greatest value.

"Dad, where are we going today?" Matthews asked, following Ham's side.

Ham, who didn't have a job, had given up on going out to find work, and the place wouldn't continue to hire people as it was, so Ham touched his son's head and took himself a day off.

"Or ...... Let's go to the church and pray that more and more merchants will come to Godzlag, hoping that His Majesty Danmir, the god of light, will bless the city back to its former prosperity. Ham said.

Matthews is also very excited, now the church has become the largest place where the flow of people in Godslug gathers, and a large number of citizens basically choose to go to the church to pray every day, because they are all believers under the crown of Danmir, the god of light, Matthews and Ham father and son are the same, because Danmir once saved Matthews who was poisoned by the sea snake, so when it comes to the issue of loyalty to Danmir, I am afraid that Matthews's faith level will even be higher than that of his father Ham.

Especially in the last week, they had seen a large area of frozen sea in Danmir in the harbor, so even if no merchant ships had come to Gozlag now, the citizens here did not have any frustration or uneasiness, because they all believed in their hearts that the god of light would bless the city and restore him to the prosperity it once was.

And the reason why no businessmen chose to come over is also because the news that the revolutionary army has occupied Gothlag has slowly spread, and now in the eyes of nearby businessmen, Gothlag is no longer a very safe port city, which is now controlled by rebel leaders, and even the empire will definitely not ignore it, and will send the imperial army to exterminate it, and it is better not to go to Godlage at this time.

"Daddy...... Look ......," Matthews suddenly grabbed Ham and pointed to a place in front of him where a large number of onlookers had gathered.

Even Ham was very curious, and followed Matthews, surrounded by the cacophony of people talking, but he could also hear the sound of sobbing coming from inside, as if it were the crying of two women.

Ham put Matthews around his neck and parted the crowd to squeeze in, but saw a mother and daughter crying here, both of them were very sad, and there was a man lying on the ground, a middle-aged man with a very weak breath, and his face was bleak as if he had not lived long ago.

"What's going on?" After asking the people around him, Ham found out that there was a family of three in front of him, the husband, wife and their daughter, but this man had a strange disease, and even the doctor in the city deduced that the other party was about to die, and once the man died, his wife and daughter would be left alone, but someone suggested that the woman should take her husband to the church and pray to the gods that he might not be able to get help from Danmir...... The other party's convinced statement gave the family hope.

It's just that when the woman carried her husband on her back on the way to the church, she fell on the ground because her husband was too heavy and the woman's strength was too small to carry it, and when she got up, she found that her husband, who was already seriously ill, had fainted.

"Then why don't you get him to the church? His Majesty Danmir will surely save this poor man. Matthews said anxiously.

"We also want to send him over, but this poor man has already broken his bones, and someone has seen that it is a vertebrae mistake, and it is useless, even if it is sent to the church, I am afraid that this person will die." People in the neighborhood said that when they saw the pious attitude of Danmir, the god of light, they must be one of Danmir's followers.

At this time, more and more people around them had begun to pray, hoping to get the help of the god of light to save the poor man in front of them, including the women and their daughters, who were also crying and praying for Danmir's help, calling the name of the god of light.

"Then let me down, Daddy, I can save him." Suddenly, Matthews said excitedly, "I heard instructions from the Divine Crown of Light, he said that I had become his faithful believer, and now I am a priest, and I can save this person in front of me!" ”
