Chapter 174: Green's Mandate
Green had made a pact with Mitchell and Sakia that if they were separated from him, he would wait for him for a week. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If you don't make it back within a week, meet up in Yode Village.
However, Green did not meet the two of them in Yode Village, nor had he heard of the two of them being here, and he was also very confused about the location of the demon through the demon. To the northwest, it's a bit far away......
To be a man is to be trustworthy! Why did you go so far away when you said you would meet in Yode Village!?
If it's just a salted fish priest like the incontinent girl Mitchell, it's not a big deal if it's lost, but the bloody instructor Sakia and her own black cat demon are not existences that can be discarded casually - one is a foil card for SSR, and the other is an exclusive N card with special effects, either of which makes it difficult for Green to give up.
So Green was going to wait a while in Yoder Village. If they can't survive, Green will go to them after taking care of the affairs on the other side of the village.
After chatting with Old Tom for a while, Old Master invited Green to come to the school and give a lecture to the children.
"Mr. Green, if you have time, I hope you will be able to come to the school and teach the children." Old Tom was a little embarrassed, "I'm just a wild guy after all, and I'm really not as good as you academics in educating children." ā
Academic? No, I'm actually a wild man, but I have two major artifacts called "Past Life Memory" and "System", and my understanding of magic is probably not as good as yours.
"I'm still far from it." Green said modestly, "I'm just a newcomer to the path of magic. I can consider it if I have time in the future. ā
"That's great." Old Tom was delighted to hear Green's promise.
"I still have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave." Green had just gotten inspiration from Old Tom and was going to go back and study magic and see if he could learn a few more spells.
When Green left the classroom, he found Farier outside.
Fariyah: "Master, I've gone to negotiate with the village chief. The village chief said that as a symbol of friendship, he would like to build us a house near the entrance to the labyrinth for free. ā
Greene: "How's the Maze making admissions?" ā
"Didn't get it." Fariyah shook her head, "The old village chief said that there are Kingdom officials and high-ranking priests of the God of Guardian among the people, and they can't do anything. ā
"Cut! ~Old fox. Green pouted.
The kingdom officials are just that, Mosnari is known as the country of mercenaries, and the status of the mercenary group with territory in Mosnari is no different from that of the nobles with real power, and it is impossible for the kingdom officials to dictate to the local area. But the clergy of the church are different.
The core belief of the village of Yode is Haim, the god of protection, and the primary school in the village is itself part of the church of Heim - the word "church" itself has the meaning of "education" in it.
Devout believers are also basically cultivated from an early age. Since most of the villagers had studied in the church, the priests of the god of protection had great influence in the village, and even the village chief did not dare to openly confront the high priests sent by the higher churches - this was a position determined by status.
"It seems that I can only hire a few people to collect the tickets myself." Green pursed his lips, "Let's go around the village." ā
"Yes, master."
Before Green had left the church, a blonde woman in armor, a helmet, and a greatsword approached with two retinues.
It was a tall woman, dressed in a clean, flawless, shiny full-body armor with no scratches on it, almost like ritual armor that had never been in battle. Cloaked in a cloak over the armor, it bears the emblem of Heim, a giant eye that never closes, symbolizing the priesthood of Haim, the god of her protection.
The two attendants behind the priest were similarly dressed in armor and helmets, and carried greatswords on their backs, but a feather was missing from the helmet, and instead of a cape, they were replaced by a short coat embroidered with the Heim emblem.
"May the splendor of Haim watch over you." The Reverend Heim at the head blessed Green.
Greene: "May Wauquin be with you." ā
"I'm Eske Gold, a priest of the Guardian God." The epee woman introduced herself, "These two are my entourage. ā
"Hello, Pastor Gold. In Lower Green, a wandering mage. Green looked the woman in front of him up and down, "You don't seem to be from the village?" ā
"Yes, I'm from Port Gardes, and I'm here to investigate the situation in that Golden City."
"I see. So what do you have to do with me? ā
"Your Excellency Master Green, that golden city that appeared in the village is very dangerous, and we hope that you will be able to leave it to us to deal with." The woman said bluntly.
"Although the entrance to that golden city is in the village, the golden city itself does not belong to this village, it is an ownerless land, what you do in that golden city is your freedom, but!" Greene paused, "The land outside the entrance belongs to me, and it is illegal to invade private land, I think you should be very clear about that. Heim's priest wouldn't have violated the law as a symbol of 'civilization' and 'order', right? ā
Green deliberately accentuated the words "civilized" and "orderly." Heim is the patron saint, the guardian of civilization and order, and as a pastor of Heim, he will not violate the core teachings of the church.
Hearing Green's words, the woman hesitated slightly: "...... When we went in, we saw a sign that said that it was possible to buy temporary rights-of-way. ā
Green stretched out his hand: "A person's temporary right of way for a day is one gold coin, give the money." ā
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched slightly: "Give money." ā
"Yes." One of the attendants hurriedly took out three gold coins and handed them to Green.
Green glanced at the gold coin in his hand: "Have you only been in and out three times?" ā
Woman: "...... We don't have a lot of money, can we owe it first? ā
"No problem. I believe in the credibility of Pastor Heim. Green put away the gold coins, a smile on his face, "That's right." I want to hire a few people to help me collect tickets, do you have any recommended staff? The village chief was so unreliable that he asked him to help me collect the entrance fee, but he didn't work at all. ā
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched slightly: "You...... He is worthy of being a believer in Waukin. ā
"May Waujin always be with you." (Translation: Thank you for the compliment)
"That Golden City is dangerous." The woman said to Green with a serious face, "As the priest of Haim, I have an obligation to purify evil and protect civilization. ā
Green smiled: "How much do you know about that Golden City?" ā
The woman hesitated for a moment: "There were many people who entered the Golden City before, but never came out again. ā
Green smiled slightly, "But as long as you don't enter that golden city, you're safe, isn't it?" ā
"But that doesn't mean there isn't danger inside." The woman is very serious.
Green shrugged: "So what do you want me to do?" ā
"For the sake of humanity and civilization, we want to seal that entrance!"
"You Pastors Heim are really ......," Green sighed deeply, "do you think the seal is useful?" There have been a lot of people in the village lately, and I'm afraid they won't agree to you sealing that entrance. And that Golden City doesn't show any evil tendencies, so I'm afraid your church won't invest much in this matter, right? ā
"So we'd love to have your help." The woman looked at Green with sincere eyes, "You are the master of that land, and I hope you will forbid anyone to enter that land." ā
Looking at the woman in front of him, Green was about to cry angrily: "In the name of Workin, no one can stop me from making money." You can't force me to go against my faith! ā
Hearing Green's words, the woman couldn't help frowning: "We can pay for that land." ā
Green couldn't help but laugh: "Don't make a fuss, you can't afford it." ā
"How much?" The woman stared stubbornly at Green.
Green: "About 100 million gold coins." ā
"We're serious, please don't be kidding!" The woman was a little angry.
"In Waukin's name, that land is worth the price."
Green's words were like a basin of cold water to extinguish the woman's anger.
Taking an oath in the name of God is an oath of the highest order.
"It's just an ordinary piece of land......" The woman was a little overwhelmed.
"Don't you Haim believers have even a little bit of economic values?" Green sighed deeply, "As the entrance to the Golden City, the most valuable part of that land is the 'right of way'...... Never mind. You don't understand that. In short, you just need to know that the added value of that land is far greater than the land itself, so that land is very valuable now. ā
"This ...... How is this possible. "The woman was a little overwhelmed.
"But with such a valuable thing, I'm also a little worried that others will get rich, so I plan to give that land as a reward to the successful raider of the labyrinth, and ignite the flame of order in the depths of the labyrinth, and become a warrior of the labyrinth lord."
The woman's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Flame of order? You mean......"
"It's not surprising that there is an ownerless flame of order in the ruins of the city, right?" Green shrugged: "Anyway, before I came back, I had submitted a power of attorney to the Working Church in Port Gardes, the Adventure Guild and several local mercenary groups at the same time, and the land deed is now stored in the safe of the Wordgold Church as the reward for the commission, whoever can light the fire of order and become the master of the labyrinth will belong to whomever the land." So even if you want me to give you that land, it's impossible. ā
The woman stared at Green tightly, "Are you serious?" This is not like the style of the Wojin believers. ā
"It's been a few days since the commission was issued, and you can check with the Church of Wojin or the Adventure Guild about the situation." Green smiled slightly, "That's a land contract worth hundreds of millions of gold coins, and I don't want to be killed because of this." After all, there aren't many people like you who are as good a talker. ā
The woman pursed her lips and frowned: "You...... What exactly is the purpose? ā
"My purpose? This is a land of mercenaries, and there are many people who dream of becoming the second mercenary king, but there is an unexplored, ownerless world in front of them......" Green looked deeply at the woman in front of him, "In such a situation, my purpose should be easy to guess, right?" ā
The woman looked suspicious: "Light the flame of order in that golden city and become a lord?" ā
