Just when Wang Xiaode was designing a conspiracy against the great god of wilderness, Jack found Wang Xiaode with a cautious look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the matter?" Seeing Old Jack's cautious appearance, Wang Xiaode couldn't help but become serious. After all, he is still a mortal, and it is impossible to ignore mundane things like an immortal. What's more, I am in a high-law world.
"It is said that the war between the kingdom and the Duchy of Limidi is coming to an end, and I am afraid that we will soon be lively here." Old Jack said worriedly.
"Old Jack, this kind of thing is not something that an earl's subordinates can understand." Old Jack had been a soldier in the county, and although he knew a lot more than the average person, he was unlikely to analyze the situation. Therefore, Wang Xiaode's questioning is very necessary.
"Don't hide it from my lord, the little one has also participated in foreign battles before, and he originally had the opportunity to follow a knight lord. But when I was young, I was impulsive, and in the end, although I also came here, I became what I saw when you first came. Recalling the previous experience, Old Jack had a wry smile on his face, as well as a trace of remembrance.
Wang Xiaode is not very interested in the life of Old Jack, but he doesn't want to have forces around him that he can't control.
"So, according to what you said, we will have some new knights in the future?" Wang Xiaode will not be too arrogant about what he doesn't understand, and he should put down his body if he should ask for advice. Compared with a little humiliation, the most important thing is the benefit.
"If I'm not mistaken, it may not be some, but a large number, and it is even possible that there may be a barony." As for the future scenario, although Old Jack was somewhat sure, he didn't dare to say too much.
"Well, you can count it yourself. In a few days, I'll go to Wildfire City. You first find someone to help me tear down the altar. For the uncertain things in the future, Wang Xiaode still wants to let go first. What I have to do now is to transform the altar.
"Absolutely not, master, this can't be done, this can't be done" As soon as he heard Wang Xiaode say that he wanted to demolish the altar, Old Jack panicked and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
You must know that demolishing the altar is tantamount to blasphemy, and it will be punished by God. For the people of the other world, believing in the gods is everyone's obligation to live, even if they are unspoken believers or converts, but no one dares to blaspheme the gods.
Even if a small altar is demolished and not discovered by the temple, the divine punishment will not be held. But if the temple found out, it would be burned at the stake.
"Hahaha, Jack, you're mistaken. I demolished the altar, not intentionally blasphemous, but to re-establish a shrine, and personally set up a new altar brick by brick as my lord to express my Ronald leader's devotion to the gods. Wang Xiaode used his laughter to alleviate Old Jack's concerns, and patiently explained.
This kind of thing, although the other party is only his own people, but if it is not explained well, I am afraid that it will cause a big mess.
But Old Jack couldn't have imagined that Wang Xiaode was kind on his face, but he was already angry in his heart, and even had the idea of killing people to vent his anger for a while, but he just felt that it was meaningless, so that's it.
Wang Xiaode's goal is to reshape the heavenly court, and Old Jack, as his right-hand man, believes in other gods, which makes it difficult for Wang Xiaode to accept.
"Yes, sir. I understand. When Old Jack heard Wang Xiaode say this, he did not doubt him, and as the lord's housekeeper, it was already taboo to oppose the lord's opinion.
Under Old Jack's arrangement, the original altar was quickly demolished, and with the demolition of the original altar, Wang Xiaode could feel his attraction to the surrounding aura, and even some of the aura was surging towards other villagers.
Although the utilization rate of aura by humans in another world is extremely low, it is undeniable that they have indeed obtained a lot of good things from aura. It can be understood that if all the gods of the other world suddenly disappear, then these mortals will have every chance to survey the divine seat under the continuous nourishment of the aura.
But now Wang Xiaode did not feel the happy side from the villagers, and many of them had a sad face. They were terrified by the demolition of the altar, and although Old Jack had tried his best to explain and reassure people, there were still many people who were uneasy.
If Wang Xiaode does not act immediately, then this uneasiness is likely to cause turmoil.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Xiaode walked towards the original position of the altar step by step, and wanted to build an altar higher than the original altar with his own hands.
Wang Xiaode's face was calm, he removed the stones one by one, trampled the ground repeatedly, stirred the soil over and over again to become solidified, piled up the soil into an earthen platform, and carved some Taoist talismans with his hands from time to time on the earthen platform.
In the eyes of the villagers, the lord was pious, and under the pious work of the lord, the altar gradually began to take shape. And every stroke of the lord is like drawing a wonderful pattern. They thought that the lord was trying to use these beautiful patterns to set off the gods, or that words they didn't know were praising the gods.
But how do they know that what Wang Xiaode did was completely blasphemous, and the reason why everyone watched him do this was not because Wang Xiaode didn't want to hide, but because it was the first time he did this kind of thing, and if he didn't let them look at it, he would look weak.
Besides, what Wang Xiaode thought in his heart was, "I'll bully you for not being literate, what's the matter!" ”
In fact, not all of them are illiterate, but these people can also write their own names and settle accounts. So they don't know much about what these words are.
In fact, Wang Xiaode's runes, where are ordinary words, are Taoist cloud runes, and where Taoists have comprehended the Great Dao in the past dynasties. Not to mention them, even if they are Chinese, most of them don't know each other, at most they know that they are runes.
After several days of construction, the altar gradually took shape, Wang Xiaode came to the center of the altar and took out a piece of jade pendant that he had purchased from Huaxia with heavy money. This jade pendant is a fine mutton fat white jade, the size of a palm, and there will be a lock spirit talisman, a spirit gathering talisman, a god sealing rune and a trace of his own divine consciousness.
In addition to the spirit locking talisman that can tear the thread of faith of believers, this jade pendant can also gather the surrounding spiritual energy to form a spiritual liquid in the jade pendant, and the sealing talisman will also have an incredible use when Wang Xiaode's cultivation arrives in the future.
However, this altar can only have a good effect on hidden believers and devout believers, if it is a fanatical believer, the effect of the righteous believers, including some clergy of the god of opening up the wasteland, will be worse, at most tearing a thread.
After placing the jade pendant on the altar, they repeated the same work of the past few days, and the villagers who passed by around them silently saluted Wang Xiaode, believing that having such a pious lord would make them feel more at ease.
After being busy for nearly half a month, the altar finally took shape on this day. At this time, Wang Xiaode stood in front of the altar, his hands were sealed, and his mouth was decided.
With a low shout, a burst of blue light lit up slightly on the surface of the altar, and it disappeared in an instant. Occasionally, a few people saw it and thought they were dazzled.
Wang Xiaode knew that this altar had been successfully arranged, and it would be of great help to him to take charge of this territory.
"Old Jack, tomorrow morning, let everyone gather in front of the altar after breakfast, I have something to announce." This is the improvement of the lives of the villagers after Wang Xiaode came to this territory.
In the past, villagers here usually only ate two meals a day, but since Wang Xiaode established the collective canteen, he has added a breakfast to lunch and dinner. In fact, it is porridge boiled with leftovers, and Wang Xiaode added some ginseng essence to it to improve everyone's physique.
Early in the morning of the second day
Under the auspices of Wang Xiaode, the villagers made the first collective worship of the altar since the altar was established. In addition, Wang Xiaode selected a few half-sized children from the villagers, and announced that in the future, the collective worship will be presided over by these half-sized children in turn, which is also to train the next generation. After all, these people are the foundation of their own future.
In the future, only those who have performed well in their territory will have the opportunity to preside over the congregational service.
This is Wang Xiaode's order to prevent the immobilization of the presiding staff and the production of clergy. Although their beliefs could not be transmitted to the gods, their own change of mindset was real.
Wang Xiaode hopes that in the hearts of the people in the future, the royal power will be placed on an equal footing with the divine power. Theocracy must serve kingship.
Theocracy here refers to the rights given to mortals under the gods, not the gods themselves. After all, in the eyes of the heavenly court, the monarchy is divinely granted, and the monarchy itself is the representative of divine power. The Heavenly Court generally does not interfere in the details of people's lives, and the Heavenly Court only focuses on the attitude of the royal power towards the divine power.
However, the role of the altar is revealed little by little, so there will not be much change in a short period of time.
"Johnson, you and I go to Lower Wildfire City tomorrow." After the congregation was disbanded and the villagers were taken to build houses and woods, Wang Xiaode instructed Johnson.
"Yes, sir. Do you need to bring some guards? "Johnson, as the liaison between Wildfire City and the territory, has an unshirkable responsibility for this kind of thing.
"Well, the territory also needs manpower, so it's better to pick two." After a little thought, Wang Xiaode replied.
Wang Xiaode went to Wildfire City this time, firstly, to inquire about the situation, and in addition, he still had a lot of materials such as sugar and white salt brought from the earth, which needed to be replaced in Wildfire City. If it is really like Old Jack's analysis of the future territory situation, Wang Xiaode must make some preparations to ensure that his interests will not be impacted.
If he could, Wang Xiaode did not recommend a colonial plunder, and actually controlled a group of knights by issuing loans.
The fastest way to make money at present is to resell the materials of the two realms, such as the sugar and white salt that I carried this time. White sugar and salt are very rare.
Like the white sugar and white salt in his own hands, because the kingdom of Anthony is located in the wasteland hills for a generation, the output of white salt and white sugar is not high, and only the royal family can enjoy it.
The big nobles could only use inferior white sugar and white salt, while the small nobles and merchants could only use brown sugar and gray salt, and the commoners were even more miserable, so they could only use salt limestone to scrape the pot and add some saltiness.
