Chapter 112: A New Heaven and Earth (I)
Friesian Territory - Holy Land
After twenty years of renovation, the entire main shrine was built of marble, with marble columns.
Enter the temple, where there is a statue of a goddess, above the stone carving, emitting a soft holy light, enveloping the entire temple.
Archbishop Barnier slowly closed the "Houtu Prayer" in front of him, ended the morning prayer, and the clergy who were waiting for the prayer withdrew.
Fang Xin's spirit, emerging from the statue, pure white transparent form, emitting white light, met the eyes of Archbishop Barnier—not seen for twenty years, Archbishop Banier's eyes were golden, and powerful majesty and darkness emerged from this gold.
"Welcome, great Savior, immortal Holy Spirit, I have seen in you an endless number of gods." Archbishop Barnier said in a deep, hoarse voice.
"It is also an honor to meet you, Archbishop Barnier, that you have come so close to God." Fang Xin replied.
"You must come with the will of the Goddess, and I ask you, as a servant of God, what can I do for you?" Archbishop Barnier bowed his head slightly respectfully and said.
"I want to see that continent!"
"I see, I respect your will." Archbishop Barnier smiled, said, clapped his hands, and there was a paladin in silver armor, from the back of the temple, brought a person, the two of them, respectfully saluted the translucent Fang Xin, Fang Xin's eyes saw this young man.
A young man with the smell of sea on his body, a strong and youthful body.
"In fact, we are also going to see the new continent, since the sea appeared in this world, we know that war will come, in order to protect the faith, we have no return, but we are now, only 200,000 people, not the opponent of the continent." When the paladin retreated, Archbishop Barnier said, "So at the beginning, with the help of the power of the gods, I concealed my existence - we need more people and land, and it will all take time. ”
"Where did this man come from?"
"This is a boat, it was supposed to go along the coast, but I have used my mana to make it lose its way and fall into our hands, a total of forty-six people, I have extracted all their souls and memories, and I will never allow them to go back to report the situation."
"On this continent, sea ships are still quite popular, there are hundreds of kingdoms and principalities on the continent, the light occupies a large territory, pagan religions still exist, and the failed gods are called demons, lurking in the dark, exactly like I thought."
"Why not unify?"
"Because that god of light doesn't need a unified emperor."
"And this man?"
"Hamblin, a fifth-level mercenary warrior by the continent, is only eighteen years old, young, strong, has potential, has read some books, likes to go to the library, is proficient in trade and seafaring—these are known to those around him, can be used to the fullest, and are the best bodies on this ship."
"Good!" Fang Xin showed a mysterious smile.
A few days later, on the 24th of June 1715 in the new calendar, the watchman on the watchtower of the city of Buxi signaled that a three-masted galleon, and later a small ship, had entered the harbor, which should have returned half a month ago, but now that it was a great joy to return.
The ship approached, it approached the harbor.
The ship pulled up three mainsails, a spinnaker and a hindmath, but it sailed so slowly and listlessly that those who greeted them on the shore instinctively felt ominous.
As soon as the boat landed, I saw a middle-aged man rushing over and jumping directly on the boat: "Oops, it's you, Hamblin, what's going on?" ”
The young man on the boat, when he saw the comer, bowed, and there he stood, though he was slender and only about eighteen years old, but he had a sense of composure and fortitude - a temperament that only those who have experienced strong winds and waves, hardships and dangers since childhood.
"It's unfortunate, Sir Morrell, that we have encountered a great fog near the Tabica Strait, and we have encountered pirates, losing many, especially our brave Captain Will." Hamblin replied, this person, of course, is Fang Xin.
"And what about your shipment?" Sir Morrell asked anxiously.
"The cargo has not been lost in the slightest, it is very safe, Sir Morell, you need not worry about this, we have even captured a batch of pirate cargo and weapons, but poor Captain Veil is dead."
"Oh, did it fall into the sea?" The knight breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no problem with the goods, and he asked with a little sadness, hiding his feelings.
"No, Sir, he was slashed ten times by a pirate, and he died in agony." As he had spoken, another seaman came over, and he hurriedly said something to Sir - on board, he was Sir's cronies.
"Oh, my dear Hamblin, I already know that it was you who killed six pirates, and finally captured a pirate ship and saved my cargo." After a while, Sir said with a smile on his face, "I know that you have a very good relationship with Captain Veer, but we are all mortals, and neither of us is immune to fate, so in this case, I will give you an extra hundred silver Lake, and I will also buy the ship and cargo you have captured." ”
"Oh, I feel so sorry for Captain Veer, what a misfortune he is, Sir Morrell, you can take the ship with you for three thousand silver lakes, except for this armor."
"Alas, yes, poor Captain Veer, he is indeed an honest captain, the best captain I have ever seen!" Sir Morel looked at the pirate ship, estimated it, thought about his previous impression of this person, and smiled: "You are also a first-class seaman and warrior, I believe that even for you, this price is appropriate, I hope you can continue to serve my family!" ”
Although the ship was somewhat damaged, the main body was intact, and it was worth at least nine thousand silver Ryke, not to mention some valuable cargo.
"As for this armor, oh my God, it's a good knight's armor, not bad at all, I'm not sure!" Sir noticed the armor and shouted in surprise, "And it's the standard knight's armor produced by the Kingdom of Lloyd - these pirates have robbed it?" ”
"Dear Hamblin, can you sell it to me? I'm willing to give another three thousand silver Lake! He watched for a moment, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry, Sir Morrell, after the battle, I feel like I'm close to breaking through level five, if I become a level six warrior, I have the qualifications to become a knight, I want to keep this armor, and I'm going to go on a trip." Fang Xin said with regretful **.
Sir showed a look of regret and joy, he stepped forward to hug him, and said very happily: "Ah, you are really amazing, quickly break through the sixth-level warrior, but it is a pity that there is no knight quota in my family, otherwise, I will definitely canonize you as a knight of my family, however, it is still very normal for young people to want to pursue a future, although I may have one less excellent first mate and warrior in the future!" ”
He patted Fang Xin's shoulder affectionately and continued: "Then, let's settle it!" ”
Busy carrying the goods up, counting the goods, and handing over the list, it didn't take much time for Fang Xin to get a heavy bag of gold coins, he hired a car, and with armor, he went to the house in his memory.
Although all countries on the mainland mint their own coins, they have a common set of coinage rules, so in addition to the different designs or portraits on the surface of the coins, the denomination, size, weight, and material must be in accordance with the regulations.
Ryker is a basic cargo unit, weighing five grams, Fang Xin received a total of 3,360 silver Rak this time, which is converted into 330 gold Rak, and 60 silver Rak, and the total weight is almost equal to two kilograms.
Although the city of Buxi is not a large commercial port, it is also less famous, and the streets are very prosperous, with a variety of shops and a large number of itinerant small vendors, selling their wares, mostly everyday goods.
Fang Xin watched and recalled the memories of the twenty people drawn from his soul—he couldn't do this yet, but Archbishop Barnier was one of them.
The eyes were both familiar and unfamiliar, but Fang Xin had long been accustomed to this feeling, and what he hired was a cargo carriage.
Since it is a port, it is naturally centered on the wharf, and countless goods come and go every day, ox carts and horse-drawn carts are the most important means of transportation, and in the memories of dozens of people, there is the price of this kind of cargo carriage.
In fact, it is a sum of money to buy a cargo carriage, worth as much as 300 silver leike, but there are also many people who can afford to buy it, the problem is that it is controlled by the goods transport guild in the city - there are guilds in all walks of life in the city.
The tanners' guilds, the shoemakers' guilds, the slaughterers' guilds, the swordsmiths' guilds, the glovemakers' guilds, the saddlemakers' guilds, the spurs' guilds, the garment merchants' guilds, the carpenters' guilds, the blacksmiths' guilds, and so on, are innumerable, three hundred and sixty guilds, and there are guilds in the guilds.
Although most of them are controlled by the merchants' guilds, which in turn are influenced by the nobility - in this world, the nobility can no longer hold the sky.
The guild is primarily an economic organization, and in the handicraft guild, the economic activities of its members are strictly controlled and managed, so you must obtain permission from the guild to do whatever you want to do.
Fang Xin looked carefully, and saw some people in green uniforms along the way, they were armed with leather armor, clubs and short swords, and the cargo carriage hurriedly got out of the way, they were the security team in the city.
