Three goddesses appear within the half-plane. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, unlike the friendly attitude of the spring and the goddess of peace, the goddess of the river has a cold expression, and the goddess of sprouts is slightly hostile to Sauron.

Theonlea, the goddess of sprouts, is an amiable goddess who dances and frolicks in the forest and plays with the creatures of the forest when she is not tending to the little ones in the forest. She has a very deep and loud voice, and is very fond of responding with clever responses in conversation, often with a hint of subtlety. She looks like a half-sheep, but she has more mysterious and unfathomable qualities than the latter. This goddess is a member of the nature gods, and legend has it that she is the embodiment of the collective spirituality of the Supreme Forest, the spirit of the forest, and she once served Merikai with the goddess of unicorns, but later switched to the goddess of agriculture for some things.

Judging from the incarnation, the goddess of sprouts is about 1.75 meters tall, with a beautiful woman wearing an emerald green robe on her upper body, and a pair of small antelope horns on her forehead.

This goddess of weak divine power rules over the abundance of the forest and many forest-related areas.

After joining the Goddess of Agriculture, she was actively acquiring the Priesthood of Fertility in Agriculture, and Sauron understood the reason why the other party was a little hostile to him, as Saruman's priesthood seemed to conflict with her. In the eyes of the other gods, Saruman was clearly a godly being that Sauron was intending to cultivate.

"This is Lord of the Shadows, Lord Sauron!"

The goddess of agriculture stood up with a smile and said to the three goddesses in front of her; "From this day forward, He is our most important ally."

As the main god of the god lineage, the goddess of agriculture has her own dominance, and she seems to ease the current atmosphere, and the other goddesses also understand this. So under the leadership of the goddess of springs, the other three goddesses all bowed down to Sauron in respect. In terms of divine power level, the three of them together were no match for Sauron. Moreover, the agricultural god system has no battle gods at all, and can always maintain its current influence, completely relying on the golden thighs of the Mother Earth and the Lord of Light. However, the goddess of agriculture did not want to be under the command of her parents all the time, she hoped that she could go out of her own way as a true god.

"Now that you're all here."

Sauron's expression was calm, not caring about the rejection and wariness of several goddesses, because time will tell.

He said slowly, "As an ally." I have prepared some plans and gifts for you that will help you improve your divine powers. Now that the material plane is becoming more and more turbulent, the four elemental gods have appeared, and the hellish devil is also ready to move. I think you'd all be interested in hearing about my plans. ”

The three goddesses looked puzzled when they heard this, but they still sat down nearby.

With a gentle wave of the goddess of agriculture, the flowers and vines on the ground automatically formed three elegant and comfortable rattan chairs.

"This is the Wind Spear Hill."

With a wave of his hand, Sauron saw a spectral map of the Wind Spear Hills, the result of the Fallen Witch's recent research, with the High Priest's stereoscopic imaging. The Arcane Tower flew around the Wind Spear Hills, scanning and recording the entire map.

Sauron pointed to the land in front of him and said, "The Wind Spear Hills are a very fertile land. ”

"There are two rivers running through this land, and it can be seen from above that there is still a lot of uncultivated land in this land, and if all these are operated in the south, it can feed at least half a million people."

"For now."

"There are probably more than 400,000 displaced people on the south coast, some of whom have moved to the island of Modo, but there are still a large number of displaced people in the vicinity of the Duchy of Rossad and the City of Fortune. I plan to gather them all together, and then gather them in the Wind Spear Hills to reclaim the land together. The city of Modo will provide the necessary supplies and assistance for this purpose. ”

"Following the oath I made, I will also anchor the army at the border."

"Turmoil brings destruction and destruction, and I am ready to help these mortals rebuild their homes. And this matter also needs your help, and I hope that you can send a priest to the Windspear Hills to assist in this matter. ”

"Also."

"Recently, there will be a big harvest festival in the city of Modo, and the scale may reach about 200,000 people."

"If that's all right, I'd like to make this festival one of the most important festivals in the city of Modo! In the future, a corresponding harvest will be celebrated every year! ”

Sauron's words were finished.

The eyes of the several goddesses present couldn't help but light up when they heard this, Sauron's plan was not very attractive, but the numbers he proposed were very tempting. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people were settled in one fell swoop, and in such a desperate situation, with a little guidance from a pastor, these people would become devout believers. Sauron asked them to send pastors, apparently willing to give up a large part of them as their followers. Unlike Sauron's priesthood, the priesthood of these goddesses is closely related to ordinary people, and most of Sauron's priesthood is related to professionals, and such a large number is enough for them to increase their followers by a large number.

The goddess of agriculture is more interested in harvest celebrations.

A celebration of 200,000 people is not common in the physical plane, because the population is very limited, don't look at the bustle and prosperity of the harvest city, but in fact, the total population is only about 100,000, and the beautification of the entire city will be over.

Too many people mean that eating, drinking, and lazing can seriously pollute the city's environment.

The harvest celebration of 200,000 people is enough to provide a large amount of divine power to the goddess of agriculture, and if this celebration becomes an official holiday in the city of Modo, it means that Sauron officially allows the goddess of agriculture and her church to enter the sphere of influence of the city of Mordo, and become an official and legally recognized church organization.

The stakes involved are obviously very exciting.

"There is nothing wrong with sending a pastor. But how do you make sure that the land you have cultivated will not be destroyed? The Goddess of Sprouts suddenly spoke.

Sauron glanced at her and said slowly, "I will anchor an army of about 50,000 men in the Wind Spear Hill, including a part of the main force of Modo City, as well as a militia that has received formal training. ”

"If there is a war."

"Military support can be sent from Viper Island and Port Taylor at any time. The plan started with just a matter of settling them down and giving them land to cultivate and make sure they could feed themselves. It will probably take about 10 years to complete it completely. ”

At that time, the Sage Catastrophe was long over.

Sauron thought to himself, the purpose of developing the Wind Spear Hills was to hoard enough people, and it didn't need to be as good as the plan for Modo City, just to ensure that the population here was continuous and that no one would starve to death. Sauron's purpose was to pull the goddess of agriculture onto his thief ship first, and when the Sage Catastrophe was over, he could naturally plan whatever he wanted.

"Yes."

The goddess of agriculture spoke at this time, smiled and nodded to Sauron, "I can send a group of priests there at any time. I also believe in your ability to protect farming. But I also have a request. ”

Sauron raised his head and said, "What a request." ”

The goddess of agriculture drew a circle on the map, about 3,000 square kilometers, including fertile land in the upper reaches of the river, and a large dense forest, and said seriously: "All this land belongs to our church. ”

Secularly and eccentric.

It seems that the goddess of agriculture has also learned to be obedient, and she is well aware that she cannot have enough influence over the southern principalities because the church itself does not have much land. The land belonged to the nobility and merchants, and the agricultural church had only influence and no decision-making power, and she was ready to make some changes, but in doing so, she had to have some resources in the world. What Sauron did in Mordor gave her the idea of testing it out for herself, and she wanted to know if the church could do more if it controlled more of the world's resources and power.

Sauron pondered when he heard this.

The other three goddesses are also thoughtful, and although the gods have great power, most of their influence on the world is determined by the church.

Sauron's actions are an outlier among the gods, because everything he does is a bit like '********' at first, and then Sauron separates it all, but the influence on the spread of the church is quite amazing!

"Yes!"

Sauron thought seriously for a moment, then nodded, "All of this land belongs to your church. But the people still belong to the Wind Spear Hills. ”

It seems that the goddess of agriculture has also learned to behave.

What about the gods? Even if it's powerful? But it is impossible for these gods of the good camp to force mortals to hand over food, wealth, and land, right?

Why is the action of the goddess of agriculture always frustrated?

The reason is simple.

The oracles she issued were all verbal, the church itself did not control the southern principalities, and the final execution or not was completely up to the meaning of the aristocracy, the agricultural church had a large number of druids and priests, but for a long time the goddess of agriculture was to create wealth for nobles and merchants, and the resources of the church itself were actually limited to the vicinity of the harvest city.

No resources, no money.

It's very difficult for even the gods to do something!

Wealth is in your own hands, in the hands of the church, and it is only a matter of words to accept the displaced people and expand their faith. But if the wealth is in the hands of secular nobles and merchants, they want to pay for the outcasts and help the church expand its influence.

Hum.

Even the noblest ideals are sure to convince them.

It seems that the goddess of agriculture has realized that only the resources controlled by the church can be directly mobilized by her, and other believers, even if they are nobles who believe in her sincerely, may be hesitant to carry it out.

Hearing that Sauron agreed to the request, the expressions of the other goddesses were also much kinder.

Although the gods did not care about mortal wealth, mortals cared about it, and this large area of land was enough for them to establish another parish.

Good gods cannot plunder at will.

They need a justifiable way to expand their diocese and influence.
