(70) The ambition of the imp
The people who worship the light and the holy spring finally began to build their own temple after obtaining the consent of the lord, because their faith is two, so they built two functional buildings as shrines, one is the 'baptismal temple' next to the fountain of life, in fact, it is a university that has been slightly expanded, the function of the functional building does not have to be limited to its original function first, the functional building is only a building in the final analysis, and what the people who live in it is the decisive factor.
The university itself is a functional building suitable for living, and the comfort level is even above the center of the town, and some lords and wealthy merchants who like to enjoy it will even build a university as their residence, but as a functional building with a very high class or even as a regional core building, the construction of a university requires a lot of resources, and the average rich person cannot afford to live in a university.
The Bologna Territory is the richest city in the Ortogothic League, with only three universities, and Dio is reluctant to use this very special and precious functional building as a lord's villa, and the university that can train professionals and enhance the various enhancements of the functional building system has been continuously expanded and covered by the Hearn family for three generations, and has become a well-known university in the southeast of Europa, and is known as the secondary heart that supports the rapid development of Bologna City.
While developing Bologna, the Hearn family saved resources to build three universities, and later continued to repair and cover, preferring to have more people to decorate the school than spend money to build a new university, but the people of Bologna, under the fanatical faith, actively raised resources and finally built a fourth university by the spring, although it was used as a temple......
However, compared to this main hall, the specifications of the second temple are obviously much lower, it was built with an ordinary house, although it has also undergone some expansions, but the scale is only half larger than the original, and it is inhabited by an existence that is more important than the fountain of life - the Great Light, a living, can see a doctor, roll around, sell cute, and scream...... Miracles.
A group of children who were playing around watched curiously as the adults entered the house with reverent expressions on their faces, and then came out with relaxed and happy expressions, knowing who was in this room, for they had all been protected and cared for by her.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Dongdong. Why can Sister Melly and Marisa go in and play with her, but we can't? β
The youngest child muttered dissatisfiedly, he and his mother had been trapped in the quarantine area before, and to make matters worse, his mother was also infected with the plague, if it weren't for Dongdong's help, the mother and son might have already fallen victim to the chaos in the quarantine area, but this child who was more naΓ―ve than Dongdong didn't understand this, he only knew that Dongdong's sister couldn't come out to play.
"Don't say that, Knock Knock is the Great Light now! It's a very powerful existence! She can help many, many people, and that's what makes sense, and we shouldn't bother her! β
The eldest child in the lead corrects the wrong perception of the younger with righteous words.
"But Alonthos, you still want to play with Dongdong, right? You envy Melly and Marisa! β
The toddler's words drew a burst of laughter.
The children present were all helped by Dongdong in the quarantine area, some were even three or four years older than Xiao Maoyu, they were the most determined group of people who had supported Dongdong before, but what drove them to do so was not a belief in miracles, but a more pure emotion, for them it didn't matter if Dongdong was a great light or not, as long as Dongdong was Dongdong.
"Yes...... Evil! I don't want to play with Dongdong! I won't be so naΓ―ve! β
Alonthos blushed and shook his fist.
"I want to practice swordsmanship well! Become as powerful as the Black Knight and Scarface, and become the Knight of the Guard who protects Dongdong! β
Alonthos wasn't a Goth, he was a Frankish, so the boy had always dreamed of a powerful regular Frankish knight.
"Just blow it! The Black Knight is very powerful! It is said that he once slashed three warships with his sword in the village of Misty Rain, killing 10,000 pirates! And Scarface is also very powerful, he killed 10,000 monsters that night! β
One of the children said in a tone of adoration.
The Black Knight is Ice Hunter and Scarface is Morgan, and the stories and deeds of these two have been compiled by the troubadours in dozens of new versions.
After hearing the magic version of this story, the red hair smiled and said, "If I regain my strength, it will be easy and happy to cut a wooden hull ship." β
Morgan, on the other hand, said with disdain, 'Only a dead fool would organize his subordinates to 10,000 people. β
"Look! One day I'll be stronger than these people, and I'll use my sword to protect Dongdong! I will do my best to help everyone around me like Dongdong, and I want to become Dongdong's knight! β
The blows of the partners instead inspired the little boy's fighting spirit.
"Look! There's a bunch of weird people there... Ay? They beat people! β
At this moment, a child suddenly screamed.
The believers, who were waiting in line for prayer and penance, suddenly noticed the anomaly, a group of uniformly dressed men rudely disrupted the procession, they pushed people to both sides unreasonably, swaggering towards the place where the Great Light lived, and if anyone dared to stop them, they would be pressed to the ground and punched and kicked, they seemed to be from somewhere else.
"Who are you? This is the place where the Great Light receives everyone's prayers! β
An old man dressed as a monk came out gloomily, he had been a scholar who had come to Bologna for further study, one of the seriously ill patients in the quarantine area, and after bathing in the 'miracles' of Dong Dong himself, he had become a missionary of the 'Dong Dong Cult' very devoutly.
"Don't come here again! You guys...... Belch?! β
The old man froze in the middle of speaking, his eyes widened, and he looked at the sword on his chest in surprise.
The assailant indifferently drew his sword, then pushed the old man aside.
"The witch who possessed the miracle is inside, don't let her be demagogic anymore! Kill her! Reclaim the Gift of the Gods! β
"We are the sword of the true gods! Slay all heretics! Judgment on all sins! Kill"
Every denominational power calls its own god the true God, and there are many of them who act in extreme ways.
The miracle of Bologna attracts both the greedy and the unreasonable madmen.
Dio was always on the lookout for this, but the madmen were always on guard, evading searches and even weapons through their own churches in Bologna, and the city's liberal belief system became its most unstable.
If the young lord could be ruthless and wipe out all the churches in the territory, the situation might be better, but Dio used the courage to fight the monsters, but he didn't have the courage to attack those churches - even if he hated religion and denied the gods, but those priests and believers were also his people, and he couldn't do it.
Because these fanatical warriors appeared too suddenly, the guards of the Hearn family who protected Dongdong were too scattered and were beaten and retreated, and after a short battle, several murderers rushed into the house.
There was no one else in the room except for the believers and the attendants who came to clean the room regularly, and the guards generally stood guard outside and did not enter the house.
There is no one around Dongdong to protect him now......
"Suffer death! Witch! I will judge you in the name of the true God! β
The intruder samurai shouted loudly, and then froze on the spot.
There were now two girls in the room, one was about twelve to fourteen years old, with very beautiful white hair, and the other looked to be just over ten years old, looking silly and stupid, and seemed to be frightened.
The newspaper said that the witch was a very young girl, but she didn't say what she looked like...... Now, with the assistance of Ning Yi, the intelligence system of the Bologna Territory is very capable of transmitting information under this top agent.
'A witch should be a and seductive being! β
The fanatical samurai thought so, but the two children in front of him ...... Only people with abnormal orientations will see the charm from them, and this method of judgment is obviously unreliable.
'The witch must be very clever because she needs to deceive people's minds, and the one who seems to be the smartest is the witch! β
The fanatical samurai thought again, and then he suddenly discovered the true identity of the witch - the black-haired girl knew at a glance that she was a fool, how could the guy who was sold and helped the people count the money could be a witch?
"Stand on Trial, !!"
He shouted, slashing at the white-haired girl.
