66. Mission accomplished

This time, in order to escort the envoy of the kingdom, a team of griffon knights was specially sent to escort them along the way, which is enough to see how much the royal family attaches importance to recovering the lost territory.

Naturally, the kingdom's rewards for the leader of the team who successfully regained the lost territory, Kasha, and the many teams involved in the mission, were also not stingy.

The royal envoy is a middle-aged civil official who looks shrewd and capable. The official meticulously awarded the reward after verifying that Kashya's mission had indeed been completed, and there were no episodes such as the difficult execution or private deduction of rewards that occur in those legendary novels. After all, this mission involves the conquest of foreign demons, and the person concerned, Kasha, is also a figure with a head and a face in the noble circle of the kingdom. Generally speaking, as long as they don't have a brain or make up their minds to fight against the Kashya's family, no one will set up an enemy for no reason. What's more, the royal family will not tolerate them taking advantage of themselves.

The mercenary groups and adventure teams involved in the reconquest of Harudal County received a large amount of money, and the royal family generously bestowed more than twenty civilian knighthoods on the leaders of each team. Unlike the six hereditary nobility of duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, and knight, the title of 'knight' is a non-hereditary title of nobility granted to a single person. Moreover, obtaining a knighthood is more of a symbol of honor, and does not have any real power and position. It's just that after having this title, the owner also has the qualifications to join the noble circle of the kingdom to a certain extent, and can also be exempted from all kinds of complicated taxes such as the city entry tax in the future. As for whether they can go further and be promoted to a hereditary title, it depends on the ability of each person.

As for Kasha's reward, everyone only saw Kasha receive a scroll from the envoy, and from the appearance of the scroll, which seemed to be made of dragon skin, it was clear that the content of this scroll was anything but simple. The excitement on Kasha's face speaks even more to this.

At the end of the mission, the royal envoys who had come to receive the results and present the rewards were escorted by the griffin knights, and the members of the Rogge Knights packed up and prepared to return to Kashya's territory. The vast majority of the mercenary groups and adventure groups have not left, and although most of the monsters in Harudel County have been cleared, there are still a small number of remnants of demons, undead and dangerous monsters in some remote places in the county. Next, the battle of clearing and suppressing in Harudel County will continue for a period of time, but after the main force of the demon group is annihilated, the difficulty of the task of clearing other monsters will be greatly reduced, and everyone can undertake it in a small group or as a servant, and then directly take the token to become a county town with a county management official to exchange for payment.

The members of the Regulus Adventure Regiment did not participate in the subsequent mission, but were invited by Kasha to accompany the Rogge Knights to the Leopold family of Kasha's territory in Brightnia. After learning that Li Xiang and the others were willing to seek a place to live, Kasha generously said that he could set aside an area in the towns within his territory for everyone to live in. It happened that the people who were temporarily embarrassed about where to settle down also agreed to the boat.

"Lord Kasya's fiefdom, Praillytown, is not as good as any city in Breitnia, but it is also a very prosperous place." On the way back, Meiling twittered and described the beauty of her hometown to the traversers. "My sister and I naturally have a home there, and I will invite everyone to my house when I come back. My father was a lord of the second generation of Patriarch Leopold (Kasha's father), Lord Howard Leopold, and the village of Primey was not far from the town of Prailly. ”

Before the two groups left Harudale County, a large number of immigrants and Kingdom troops could be seen marching into various parts of the county, and the rudiments of villages and towns were established. Through their tireless efforts, the priests of the Temple of Nature have finally changed the almost devastated environment of Harudale County that has been destroyed by demons for so many years. One of the most obvious changes is that the air is no longer so dry, no longer so dull, and the originally dry and barren land has also rejuvenated a little bit of vitality.

Subsequently. It was a series of torrential rains, which rained for three days and three nights, and brought endless life to Harudale County. The parched riverbed was filled with water again, the cracked earth gradually came back to life, and specks of green appeared on the ground one after another, and the grass stubbornly poked its head out and swayed to grow.

The rain is falling day by day, and the vitality of the earth is also reviving day by day.

After the rain stopped, the priests of the various churches also entered the land of Harudel one after another, and sent large quantities of materials to the newly built towns in the county for free. Of course, these priests did not forget to spread the teachings of their sect in various villages and towns in order to attract more believers.

As a world of swords and sorcery, the world of Yber naturally had (or had existed) gods. For humans on the continent, faith is free and at the same time not fixed, and even parents have no right to make decisions for their children. Therefore, as long as the gods proclaimed by the priests were in line with their long-standing outlook on life, values, and ways of doing things. Then people are also willing to become believers in a certain deity, seeking a sustenance for their souls.

In this way, there are naturally many church factions in the world of Iber, which believe in various gods, some of which are real or have existed in this world, and some are fictional to comfort people's hearts, of course, it is not excluded that some are used by those with intentions to deceive and deceive money. Those church priests who believe in the true existence of gods are naturally able to master a little so-called 'divine arts', and most churches that do not believe in true gods will also use pharmacists, alchemists, and even legal warriors to reveal some means as 'miracles' to win over believers. But in general, the vast majority of churches that openly attract believers are focused on good deeds. Although there are disputes between the sects of different faiths, there is also a limit to the means of struggle. Moreover, they also have an attitude of suppressing the evil factions of the church.

Of course, although there are many sects in the world of Iber, it is not uncommon for many people to be unable to decide their beliefs until they die. Faith is spiritual food and spiritual sustenance. But apart from fanatical believers, not necessarily not living without faith. What's more, the vast majority of official churches charge a small 'faith tax' to their adherents. Although the faith tax is not very large, and the highest tax rate is only one-tenth of the annual income of believers, it also makes many people who are unwilling to increase this expenditure end up not believing in any god.

Of course, the churches did not live off these taxes (except for the swindlers), the churches also had their own lands and estates, and some generous aristocratic believers often made large donations from time to time. Therefore, the greater significance of collecting these taxes is to demonstrate the devotion of the believers to the gods they believe in. Naturally, the church will also show the piety of believers, and they will send priests to treat sick believers from time to time, use magic to solve some less troublesome problems for believers, and protect believers from others.

In short, in the world of Iber, the Church, as an indispensable part of human society, has thus risen and fallen in the human city-states.
