Chapter 23: The Groundbreaking Ceremony

The foundation stone of the temple reached its climax when the statue of Saintakor, who resembled an emperor, wore a leather cloak, and held a giant sword in his hand, slowly descended. All the devotees of the Wind Rider were already on all fours, chanting the name of the god, and those who came to watch the ceremony bowed their heads silently to show their respect.

Dressed in a neat black military uniform, the Faist family dress and short black hair highlighted Morey's ability as a young man, which was very eye-catching at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Although he didn't dare to compliment Edward's exaggerated pruning techniques, his craftsmanship still didn't say, which is why Morey didn't turn on the [Time Rainbow Road] flash at the last moment.

Immediately after the fall of the statue of Shandakol, there are thousands of rays of light erupting, which makes the statue extremely sacred, and this predetermined "miracle" will push the atmosphere of the scene to a climax again.

In the midst of this thousands of rays of light, Morey felt as if a sharp gaze had penetrated the distance of time and space to the depths of his soul. It wasn't until a long time later that Morey was able to shake off his distraction.

"This Sandakor Church still has some heritage, and the 'miracles' can even be deterred by professionals!" Morey sighed at the strength of the Wind Rider, but he didn't know that there was already a special state under his attribute bar in the blood moon.

"On behalf of the Church of the Wind Riders, I would like to express my gratitude to the Lord of the City Lord for being able to come and watch the ceremony!" Mark put on his bishop's robe to preside over the ceremony today, and he could not breathe a sigh of relief until the foundation stone laying ceremony was almost over. It's not going to be right away to see Morey.

"Bishop Mark is gracious, it's my honor that you can choose Red Leaf City! Besides, as soon as Bishop Mark presided over the groundbreaking ceremony this time, I think our Red Leaf City will be lively for a long time, and I have to thank you! ”

This time, the shrine of Sandakor was built in the northern part of Momiji Castle near the Momiji Forest, which has the most people coming and going, and it is close to the mountain forest, so this place was chosen as the shrine.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of the groundbreaking ceremony of the temple was released, many residents of Momiji Castle were attracted to watch the ceremony, including workers from various lumberyards outside Momiji Castle. Looking at the ordinary residents lying on his stomach under the pressure below, Bishop Mark was very complacent in his heart, whether it was the propaganda work that was secretly organized before, or the scale and order of the casting of the spells and magic on the scene today, Bishop Mark had exhausted his mind, so he was still happy to accept Morey's compliment, of course, he still had to excuse himself.

Benjamin. Joseph has met His Excellency Bishop Mark and thank you and the Church for the blessings of the Wind Rider for the people of the Far Eastern Province! "Claiming to be Benjamin. Joseph's middle-aged man interjected between the two and interrupted their conversation.

The Joseph family is the largest family in the Far East after the Faistes. If you want to describe the family ecology of the Far East, then sheep, chickens, and wolves are the best image metaphors.

In nature, chickens and sheep are all food for wolves, but in the Far East it is the opposite. Because the coat of arms of the Faist family is a red goat, this sheep is naturally the leader of the Far East.

The chicken refers to the Joseph family, and their family emblem is not a chicken, but the Joseph family is a nobleman who started by business, and the main business of the year was turkey breeding, so people called it chicken.

Those wolves naturally refer to the small families in the Far East except for these two big families, because they can only fight for some scraps thrown by the two big families, so the fight is particularly fierce and full of wolf nature.

Benjamin. Joseph is and Eli. Faist was a young man of the same period, and he and Ireh became the twin heroes of the Far East. Fais was promoted to the legendary patriarch of the family, and such a statement gradually stopped being mentioned.

Now the head of the Joseph family is Benjamin. Joseph's Great Uncle Burton. Joseph, but Bolton had no children under his knees, Benjamin. Joseph is already the first heir to the Joseph family.

The Joseph family now controls all the slave trading operations in the Far East, selling chickens in the past, but now they are selling people, so whether it is economic or military power, the Joseph family, as the largest slave trade group in the Far East, can firmly occupy the second place in the Far East.

This time, the construction of the temple in Sondakoll immediately aroused the uneasiness of the Joseph family, and the original [Linfeng Order] was only temporarily transiting in the Far East, at most there were some strongholds in the mountains, so it had not attracted the attention of the Joseph family. I didn't expect this time Ire. Faist's investment finally paid off (they didn't know it was an oracle), and the Far East was about to have its first temple.

For many years, due to the harsh natural environment of the Far East, many of the gods and goddesses in the mortal world have only established contact point temples in the capital city of the Far Eastern Province, the "Stone Tower" of Taserdor, and even the priests are on duty in shifts without permanent residence.

But this time, Mark and the others built the temple of Sandakor in Red Leaf City, which is a temple with a fixed organizational structure. One bishop, two priests, and eight priests are the mainstream configuration of the mainland temple, and according to the different priesthoods of the gods, there will also be some special priests, such as the popular saints of Scientakol. As a special transfer class of the Church of Scientakor, the Windwalking Saints have a fixed 5 times a day [Walking against the Wind], which can rise to a very high altitude and fly quickly, thousands of miles a day, and are the best scouts.

Such an amazingly powerful organization suddenly entered the Far East, or threw itself into the arms of the opponent, which was naturally anxious and angry for the Joseph family. So one side Burton. Joseph hurried to the royal capital to seek rescue, and on the other side, Benjamin. Joseph came to Red Leaf City to try to win over Mark, and at the worst he could add to Morey's blockage.

For Benjamin. Joseph's intentions were not clear to Morey, so he did all the frowning and eye-brow-making movements for the blind man to see.

Mark had guessed some of Benjamin's plans, but in order not to be explicitly resisted by the Joseph family when he was missionary in the Far East, he could only accompany him to act.

Just after Morey was deliberately excluded from the conversation circle by Benjamin, an eccentric person found Morey. He was covered in a large gray cloak and was seven feet (2.1 meters) tall, but he appeared very thin.

"Hello, Lord Morey." He wanted to get closer to Morey, but was stopped by Hyde.

"What is hidden in your cloak!" Hyde pressed [Long Fang], and drew his sword against each other if he didn't agree with each other.

"Knight Hyde, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything malicious." The strange man pulled out a huge scythe from inside his cloak and reluctantly handed it to Hyde.

The handle of the scythe is very long, and a huge scythe with an inward curved tip of the scythe is mounted on the top of the wooden handle, which has a bit of the charm of the scythe of death in the previous life.

Morey was curious as to how he managed to hide such a large scythe. You must know that Morey didn't feel a single magic fluctuation just now, and it is certain that he didn't hide it with something like a space ring.

Perhaps too many people had this question, and the weirdo who was allowed in understood what he was thinking as soon as he saw Morey's expression.

"With a special catalyst and the development of the human body's own potential, it is not difficult to hide [withering glory]." The weirdo explained it this way.

But after he finished speaking, he found that Morey had a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, looked at [Kurong], and then at his lower body, and then silently distanced himself from himself.

He was a little puzzled, the iron wire rattan handle of [Kurong] can be easily circled and bent with some tribal edible acids, and then after some training similar to that of a warrior monk exercising his skin, he can easily adsorb it on the surface of his body, is there anything wrong with this?

Since he didn't understand, Green wouldn't be at the tip of the bull's horns, he came here to apply.

"The charm of life lies in the trade-off, the essence is given to all beings, and the honor belongs to me, life is cut, and all beings are eternal! Green the Reaper of Life, I've seen the City Lord! ”

Reaper of Life? Morey had never heard of the profession, and it was Sandru's memory that they had come from in a book about druids.

“...... A bunch of ignorant rebels, if the Forest Destroyer is a madman who has fallen into darkness, then the Reaper of Life is an ignorant fool! ”

“...... How ridiculous it is to try to absorb the power of faith that only gods can absorb in the form of mortals! If they were to do what they say, wouldn't those gardeners have been called gods a long time ago?! ......”

According to Sandru's information, the so-called Reaper of Life does not live up to its name, it is very big, it is both life and harvest, in fact, it is just a variant of the druid profession.

They use a sickle or an axe to clear trees and flowers in order to absorb the gratitude of others, and to absorb the power of this single belief in gratitude to improve their own abilities.

Doesn't it look powerful, with the power that mortals can only absorb gods, doesn't it sound quite awesome, but it's not.

There are many kinds of faith that a deity can absorb, thanksgiving, remorse, surprise, disappointment, etc., and even fear, and hating a deity can also increase the power of faith.

And the Reaper of Life can only absorb the power of belief triggered by the emotion of gratitude to him, which is very limited. In addition, because of its own strength, the absorption range can only be contained in a very small and limited range, and it is not as omniscient and omnipotent as God.

The life reaper in front of him also looks like he is full of weather, and he has been traveling in the mainland for a long time, and he is actually a low-level professional like Morey, which makes Morey, who is used to seeing high-level professionals at his disposal, feel a little more cordial and pity for him.

"It's not easy to persist in such a hard profession!"

If Green could hear Morey's heart, he would suddenly feel like a confidant.

From the day he took over the [Kurong] from his stepfather, he knew that his future life would not be smooth sailing. Because he saw with his own eyes how his stepfather helped the villagers cut down trees and weeds, and how he was ridiculed behind his back, and even children hit them with stones and scolded them for being fools.

At that time, he vowed not to follow the old path of his father-in-law, but when his dying father-in-law lay on the hospital bed and looked at him with hopeful eyes, he reneged on the oath he had held on for ten years.

After using [Kurong] to make a simple coffin to bury his father-in-law who had raised him for sixteen years, Green unswervingly walked out of the mountains.

In order to fulfill his father-in-law's last wish and become a legendary [Life Reaper], he persevered for ten years. He had endured countless blank eyes in the past ten years, and he had experienced the hardships of the previous sixteen years again, and even more sore, because the man who had stood in front of him to shelter him from the wind and rain was gone.

But no matter how hard it was, even if he had to pretend to be a woodcutter when he had no money to help the children of the nobles who played and hunted to open up the mountain road (to maintain his self-esteem as a professional), even if the strength of a professional of the same age had already left him far behind, he never thought of giving up.

After all these years of hard work, Green finally raised his profession to level five, and he was almost the same as the strength of his dead father-in-law, but unfortunately the power of faith obtained by helping the villagers harvest some grain and remove a little weeds could be broken through, he needed a larger and more quantity.

When the old Green also happened to encounter a lumber yard because of the flash flood delayed the progress, resulting in the imminent default and bankruptcy, the future of the boss and a group of lumberjacks was bleak, the old Green alone cut down 13,684 trees overnight, successfully completed the contract, and successfully changed the fate of everyone.

When the lumberjack who followed him through the night with a torch tossed him high, he managed to advance to the mid-level Life Reaper, and Green witnessed this moment with his own eyes.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can be encountered but not sought, and Green's visit to Red Leaf City this time is also deliberate.

As a city dominated by the logging industry, the probability of default is always higher than that of those places where there are only sparse logging sites, not to mention the high value of red leaf trees, and the risk of default is greater.

"So you want to be a florist in my City Lord's Mansion?" Morey was a little confused, when would he have the luxury of using a professional as a servant to handle chores?

"Yes, if you're willing to hire me." Green has said this sentence to different people several times, and he can only say that the competition is fierce, and he is sorry to lose to his opponent, and he happens to travel to the Far East by himself, so he naturally wants to give it a try.

"I'm sorry......" was still very wary of the unknown professional Morey, so although he was very moved, he still rejected him.

Green immediately showed a look of disappointment when he heard this, but it was quickly replaced by a determined look.

"Promise him!" Ios, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly came through the teleportation technique, and even if he didn't see his current expression, Morey could still feel his excitement through the tone of his voice.

"I'm sorry, I think we'll need to clean up a gardener's room, you're a professional, after all. Then you will go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to find Cory, and he will arrange your next affairs. Morey regained his words without stumbling, then took the initiative to shake Green's excited hand, and then turned away, he still had a lot of questions for Ios.

Leaving Green alone in the wind (is this satisfied with me, or not satisfied?) )。

Since the last time they talked in the carriage, Morey's spell teacher had actually become Ios. Aos did not directly teach him to learn a specific spell, but instead taught him various spell techniques and specialty training. Compared with Sandru's previous cramming education, Ios's method is more like a spell professor training mage apprentices, so Sandru is now more of a mage guest-like existence.

"Teacher Ios, when did you come?" As soon as he stepped out of the foundation stone of the temple, Morey saw Ios sitting on the stone benches in the temple square, smiling at him.

The slate was only laid here yesterday, and the workers are so fast. Morey sighed heartily in his heart, he recognized more with the people of Red Leaf City, and people with quick hands and feet always gave people a good impression.

The Church of Sandakle bought about 100 acres of land around the temple, and except for the 20 acres of the temple, the rest of the area was planned to be developed into an outbuilding, and the square in front of the temple was one of them.

Red Leaf City covers an area of more than 15,000 acres, although it is not as good as the more than 70,000 acres of Saganis City, the first city in the Far East. But it's still much bigger than those "towns" that dare to call cities for thousands of acres. There is not much spare area in Red Leaf City, but there is still an area of 1,000 acres, but the Church of Sandakor only bought 100 acres, and it seems that it still takes care of Morey's feelings.

"Green's child, I know, love and righteousness, for the sake of old Green's last wish to insist on ten years, such young people are very rare now......" Ios seemed to have a friendship with Green, and his face was full of memories when he spoke.

"Old Green and I met in an adventure squad, and he was a well-known druid at that time, if he hadn't been stubborn about becoming a reaper of life, I'm afraid he would have become a legendary druid by now. The [Withered Glory] in Green's hand was the old Green's housekeeping treasure back then, and I don't know how many Xiaoxiao bowed down under it back then. ”

After listening for a long time, Morey finally roughly understood the entanglement between Green and Ios. Old Green and Ios were comrades-in-arms and cooperated for many years, but in order to pursue his own natural way, Old Green abandoned everything he had and once again embarked on a path full of thorns and natural ways to start anew. After the death of old Green, Green continued to travel around the mainland with [Kurong], and the noticed Ios found out. After that, Ios had been silently paying attention to the situation of this comrade-in-arms' righteous son, and after knowing that he was willing to pick up [Kurong] to become a reaper of life for the sake of Old Green's last wish, his compassion increased greatly. But they only helped each other silently, because Green followed the old Green's stinky temper and was unwilling to accept other people's alms.

This time, Green was automatically sent to the door, and Ios would not let go of the opportunity and directly asked Morey to accept this prodigal son who had been adrift for many years.

Morey kept nodding, a grateful man who was loyal to his oath and understood, and it was not a loss to accept him.

"Okay, I'm done talking, then it's time to talk about yours." Ios shifted the subject to Morey.

"Mine?" Morey was a little confused, could it be that Corey worked part-time as a bartender in the tavern and secretly told Ios about Vivien Hayley?

Although he really didn't have anything to do with her, the thought of Corey's heat made Morey have a headache for no reason.

"Did you check Johnson's garrison? Did Andy do well in the town hall, do you understand? As soon as Ios spoke, Morey was powerless. Ios is now Morey's teacher, to use an inappropriate analogy, Corey is like the steward eunuch of the prince's mansion, although he is kind, there are some things he can't mention or ask, and Ios is like a princess, he has the right to ask about everything Morey does wrong.

"Well, Uncle Johnson......" Morey was immediately interrupted by Ios.

"Don't call Uncle Johnson, Johnson is the commander of the guard team in Red Leaf City, you can call him Johnson Commander or Johnson Knight." Ios carefully corrected Morey's mistake in his title, until Morey admitted his mistake and changed his words.

The reason why he asked Morey to change his uncle's title to teacher after he actually taught Morey's method was to make Morey change his concept and regard him as a teacher rather than an elder. If Morey had regarded his people as elders and subordinates of Ire, he would not have really accepted them.

Now Johnson and Andy's work is being done by himself, but Morey's own concept must also be changed, otherwise he will definitely not be able to really subdue them.

Irare's sudden severance of contact gave him a sense of urgency, so he had begun to secretly and cryptically inform the garrison generals of Saber Castle to be on guard.

"I've seen the guard team under Johnson's command before, and the military appearance is very different from before, and I really want to commend Commander Johnson for this, but there have been a lot of things lately...... But I decided to go to the Seongnam Guard Camp tomorrow to pay my respects to the soldiers! Morey just wanted to find an excuse to shirk it, but when he saw Ios' cloudy face, he immediately changed his tune and agreed on the project of tomorrow's labor army, which made Ios's face slightly pale.

"As for Secretary Andy, I heard that he is also very friendly and approachable with his colleagues." Compared with Johnson, Andy is much more cheating and tricky. Johnson at least really trained the guards, he thought of himself as the hand-shaking master of the country nobles, and the clerks below were tired to death, and he wandered around leisurely all day long, and he really regarded this as a resort.

However, Andy's face Morey knows to be protected, and Ios naturally will not debunk it on the spot, but he will have good fruit to eat tonight, Ios secretly swears.

"Ahh Who's thinking about me...! Andy twisted his sour nose because of the sneezing, and was a little annoyed, just now a sneeze scared away the big fish he had caught for half a day, and let his half a day's work come to naught. Holding the bucket hat on his head, Andy changed into a new bait and continued to start his vacation life leisurely.
