When he woke up at dawn, Hamlin walked to the entrance of the village and found that there was an unexpected person in the crowd that had been made up of an appointment - the old priest Harpy was standing in the crowd wearing the same monk's robes as usual, taking advantage of the gap to explain the teachings to everyone, while the people around him listened to it with fascination and adoration. Today is the day when everyone goes to the city to discuss with the municipal government about the fee for cleaning up the excrement, and Hamlin, as the designer of the plan, and the village head, the top executor of the village, must go there, and because of the care of the church, there should be no problem in discussing the results. Thinking like this, there were not many people who went this time, and there were many people waiting at the entrance of the village, and most of them went to the market together. In this way, Hamlin was a little surprised to see that the old priest Harpy, who had been wandering around the village looking for a place to build a new church, was also there.

But there is only one more person, and the status of the old priest is more able to make people believe that the gods are on their side - even if the church has communicated with the city lord, but after all, this is asking for money from people, and others will try to give less money even if they support, and now there is a priest to accompany him, even if this priest is only the most ordinary priest, not a heavyweight like the bishop, but no matter what, he is the 'shepherd' of a small parish, and now this small parish has been taken by the church and has become a direct diocese. This is probably very similar to the municipality, even if this 'municipality' seems ridiculously immature now, but in any case, this is a priest directly under the cathedral, even if he does not have the power of the archbishop in charge of a province, but it receives more attention from the top than the bishop of the province - now both the church and the court are paying attention to this small village projected by the eyes of the gods, and even some cardinals of the cathedral have begun to plan how to deal with this village. If Hamlin is ready to pull the tiger skin of Old Father Harpy, then Old Father Harpy is carrying many banners of the church, the cathedral, the court and even the gods themselves.

Although he was only stunned after seeing Father Harpy, Hamlin's mind suddenly calculated how to pull the tiger's skin and carry the banner. After thinking it through, Hamlin's face bloomed: "Is the old priest going to the city too? Old Father Harpy looked at the smile on Hamlin's face and was a little stunned. But I was stunned in my heart, the movement outside was quite fast, and I responded with a smile. The surrounding villagers were too enthusiastic for Old Father Harpy to leave them alone and talk to Hamlin directly, so he could only nod.

To be honest, after the previous discussion with Father Harpy, Hamlin has a basic understanding of the gods of this world. Although in his account, Father Harpy believed in the god Foran was a gentle and tolerant deity, Hamlin still did not want to believe in him. And now it seems that Father Harpy's knowledge must have been hollowed out by himself, and if we continue to talk, only Father Harpy's unilateral preaching is left, which is not a topic of interest to Hamlin. Now seeing that the old priest had no idea of preaching with him, Hamlin naturally pushed the boat with his head, nodded and followed at the end of the procession, walking slowly, thinking only of the expectation of negotiating with the city lord later. How can I persuade the lord of the city to open his treasury and take out the shining gold and silver coins in it to pay for the cleaning of the perennial pile? How much money should I propose? What is the reserve price?

It really hurts in the brain, Hamlin rubbed his eyebrows. I'm not very good at these things, it's too troublesome, and there are too many things to calculate. Secretly exhaled: "That's why I don't want to participate in these things." ”

Then, as it got late, Hamlin walked out of the city lord's mansion under the guidance of Father Harpy with a demented face, and his mind was full of philosophical questions: Who am I? Where am I? What is my use? The negotiations went very smoothly, and they went smoothly. After separating from the villagers, Hamlin and the village chief went to the door of the city lord's office under the guidance of Father Harpy, and then sat directly opposite the city lord and made their own requests. Then, the lord agreed. Yes, the city lord didn't wait for Hamlin's words to finish, he directly took the list of plans written by Hamlin, took a cursory glance, and signed his name directly - looking at the city lord's posture, Hamlin even thought that he would replace this list with a blank piece of paper, and the city lord would not hesitate to sign his name.

Hey, hey, hey, it's not the same as saying yes, Hamlin was confused, and he didn't know how to express his inner thoughts for a while. On the way, Hamlin was still troubled by how he would answer the city lord's questions about the details of some of the terms on the draft, and now he just spoke it and you signed it? Referring to the previous situation in his own family, Hamlin even planned to discuss one clause at a time for ten days and a half months. Then I was slapped in the face by reality. Please, this is money from your hands, don't you even calculate how much it is? A cart of piles of feces 3 copper coins, you have to take out I don't know how much a day, and the government is responsible for lunch, even if it's just two black loaves of bread, that's a lot of money, don't you think about it?

Forget it, anyway, it's all in his favor, Hamlin squinted slightly, so that the sun, which was already about to fall, would not be so dazzling. Now Hamlin only felt tired, although the city lord agreed very easily, Hamlin felt that such a contract was just an ordinary piece of paper and still not formal. The city lord also seemed to feel that this project, which even the gods were concerned about, was written on a rough piece of paper, which seemed to be a little disrespectful, so he hurriedly asked the various clerks of the city lord's mansion to carefully transcribe two copies with the finest parchment scroll, and then Hamlin and the old village chief wrote their names seriously on it (the old village chief was trembling when he signed at that time, and the whole person looked like he was about to collapse after writing it down), and then he should have stamped his own seal, because the seal was exclusive to the nobles, and Hamlin and the village chief did not have this, so they could only print finger prints。 The lord of the castle took the seal of the mayor representing the city, the seal of the family emblem representing their family, and his own personal seal, each of which was stained with ink, and the cover was carefully and square. Finally, the diocesan bishop, who had come from the church in the city, as a notary, read the deed aloud to the idol and stamped it.

After that, it was the banquet of the City Lord's Mansion, although now Hamlin and the village chief are just a small person in the eyes of the City Lord, and Old Father Harpy is not a high-level member of the church, but now these three people have become the focus of attention of the entire church and Lan Ting, and naturally they have become a hot spot for investment. Although it is only a few people, whether it is the fineness of the food or the scale, it is a high-standard reception. Hamlin felt tired before, precisely because of these human contacts.

At the same time that Hamlin walked out of the city lord's mansion accompanied by the city lord, at the back door of the city lord's mansion, the small door for purchasing materials to enter and exit the carriage, was gently pushed open a crack, and a hand holding a piece of paper stretched out, and a man dressed as a peddler quickly walked over and took the paper and put it in his arms, and handed a full money bag on the palm that was still spread. The hand took the weight of the money bag and took it back with satisfaction. At the same time, the hawker drove his grocery cart out of the place quickly.
