Chapter 52: Favor debts are the hardest to repay
In the early morning, on the wharf west of Santas, a huge fleet of transporters stopped at the shore and carried goods to the wharf, waiting to be inspected.
Nowadays, the inspection of Santa Si entering the city is many times stricter than before, and the inspection that was originally handled casually needs to be delayed for a long time at this time. Especially those things that involve food, grain, cloth and clothes used by ordinary people add a lot of difficulty.
This has caused many merchants to complain that most of the day's daily inspections have been wasted, which has greatly affected their trade activities.
It's a pity that this is a new rule issued by the Church of Light himself, as a Holy City of Light, Santa Si follows the rules of the Church in everything, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all.
Several knights of the Holy Light hurried out of the city, attracting the attention of countless people along the way, with awe, envy, and fear.
The Knights of Light are the supreme enforcers of Santa and more than a dozen small cities around them, and once they are dispatched, it means that something big has happened that ordinary people can't solve.
Sometimes, they also fought against bandits, pirates, and many other rebel forces, and had a huge influence in any power class.
As a believer in the God of Light, many people dream of becoming a Knight of Light, which represents supreme glory and great strength!
Tall and vast, Tazmi jumped off his horse and strode towards the silver-haired boy standing not far away.
After a few days, the power on his body became more and more grand, and the whole person seemed to be blooming, dispelling all the evil in the world.
"Long time no see, Tazmi." The silver-haired boy greeted with a smile.
Tazmi didn't respond to the other party's greetings, looking at the other party with a somewhat complicated gaze, the person in front of him made him unable to see through it no matter what, and his body seemed to be shrouded in infinite mysteries, mysterious and powerful.
He looked down at the other party slightly, and there was a silver-white light in his eyes: "Say, what do you need my help with?" ”
The other party sent someone to inform him that there was something that he needed to help with.
The other party saved his sister twice before, and assisted him in defeating the robbers in the last extermination of the robbers, so that he owed the other party a lot of favors, and this time he came to pay off this favor.
Becoming a Knight of Light is not to eliminate all kinds of emotions that human beings should have, but to abandon the ugly and evil side and carry forward the good and bright side.
And repaying the favor belongs to the latter.
"Quite simply, I shipped this grain from Psul. There was a bumper harvest of grain, and the price fell sharply, making it difficult for the farmers to have enough to eat, so I bought some grain of slightly worse quality and shipped it over. ”
Su Yun stretched out his finger and pointed to the piles of goods behind him, "You can go and check, it rained during the previous harvest and was a little damp, and there is no big problem." Over there, this kind of food can't be sold at all, so it can only rot at home, so I shipped it. ”
"The quality of these grains is not good, and they are facing the pressure of other merchant groups, coupled with today's strict inspections, it is difficult to enter Santa for sale. So, I'd like to ask you to help us a little bit in your name. ”
Psul, the granary capital northwest of Santas, produces a large amount of grain every year, and one-third of Santas's food supply comes from this city.
"That's it?" Tazmi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this kind of thing was obviously not an evil thing, it did not violate any of his principles, but it could be regarded as helping the ordinary people of Psul.
As a knight of holy light from the bottom, he naturally knew clearly that many big businessmen colluded with big nobles to raise the price of grain, and would rather rot in the warehouse than sell it at a low price, and would also join forces to suppress foreign merchants.
Such people belonged to him as heinous and wicked people, but the Church did not arrest and punish them, and it was akin to conniving at their actions, which made him a little incomprehensible.
But this is a decision made by the top, and he has no right to interfere, so he can only wait until he becomes a saint or a saint to correct this unhealthy situation.
Now, although the other party is in the purpose of making money, he has finally done a little good and can help a little.
"Of course I don't dare to ask for too much, after all, I have also made a lot of money from this trade. I've already done it, I'm just a little greedy for money, not a bad person. Su Yun's smile became softer and softer, like a messenger spreading light, and his expression was full of piety:
"The light is above, and I am willing to provide a part of the food for free to those poor believers of the God of Light, so that they can eat and bathe in the glory of the gods!"
"Tazmi, I'll give you free food in your name."
"No, if you have this heart, it already represents the yearning for the light. With the light above, you will be bathed in the glory of the gods! Tazmi shook his head firmly, not wanting to take advantage of the achievement.
"Let's check it first, and after we are sure, I will personally send you into the city and distribute food near Guangming Square."
"Search it thoroughly!"
He waved his hand and ordered, and many of the Holy Light Knights and City Guards behind him stepped forward one after another to begin a detailed inspection of the grain.
Su Yun stood quietly to the side, not worried about what the other party would see.
The plague created by the peak lich who was almost a god, and then the transformation and camouflage of the Temple of Death, was not at all something that a few knights of the Holy Light who were still 108,000 miles away from the legend could see.
Let the other party help, in addition to the fact that the other party is not strong, there is also a more unknown evil purpose.
Sure enough, after the inspection, Tazmi confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the cargo and began to personally escort the caravan into the city.
Horse-drawn carts and ox-carts pulled truckloads of grain into the West City Gate, pulled into a courtyard warehouse on the edge of Guangming Square, and then took out a part of it and placed it on the west side of Guangming Square to start distributing it for free.
At Tazmi's beckoning, many city guards came here to maintain order, so that the destitute homeless beggars and others could line up to receive relief food.
This kind of thing is actually very common, and every year, many wealthy businessmen come to Guangming Square to distribute some food and clothes for free.
It not only relieved the poor, but also showed his yearning for light, and also received the honor of praise from many people.
Even if it is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, a businessman with a brain will not refuse.
As Tazmi's cheap apprentice, Morrison also helped here, and was very diligent in bagging and distributing food, and also helped some elderly people to deliver food to the trolley, which made Tazmi not far away smile with satisfaction.
At this moment, a familiar figure walked over, it was none other than Tazmi's sister Monica.
After careful treatment, she has long since completely recovered, and her broken arm has regenerated.
What's even more miraculous is that during the treatment, the church leaders suddenly discovered that she had a rare talent, and her affinity for light energy was unheard of, as if she was born to be a light priest.
In this way, she was directly selected as one of the three candidates for the Holy Maiden, and the final decision will be made at the ceremony three days later.
Determine who will be the next Holy Woman and Son!
But the first thing she said when she arrived was, "I think there's something wrong with this food!" ”
