Chapter 5: Schul's Design
"Hey, brother, your current expression is simply a standard demon. Lisa glared at Shul and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't do anything strange. ”
"Don't worry, it's not my turn to do it. Shur shrugged his shoulders and said, "This world is far from being as safe as you think, otherwise why do you think the temple of the gods was suddenly built and the gods began to learn to live in harmony with each other?"
"The shedding of the blood of countless innocents filled the hearts of the gods with sorrow. "In order to stop the endless killing, the gods have built the Temple of the Gods, setting a new order for the world. ”
This is a passage from the Proclamation of the Pantheon's founding, and although the author is no longer available, this proclamation has been used by the Pantheon as an official publicity material, representing the official attitude of the Pantheon.
"Do you really believe it?" asked Shule, smiling.
"Huh. ”
"You see, you know it's just an excuse. Shul chuckled and said, "If there is not enough threat to the gods to find intractable, it will not be so easy to pull them together." ”
"Is that what you call a worldwide crisis, what kind of threat will it be?"
"Not sure, at least not yet, but I have a few premature conjectures. Shuer smiled and shook his head, "But these are not important, we can put them aside for the time being, and the important question now is what we should do." ”
"First of all, no matter what the threat is, it is our best chance, we might as well sit back and watch the threat come, or even ...... In this way, the influence of the goddess will be expanded. Looking at his sister's expression, Shuer added, "Of course, this is based on the premise that the initial impact of the crisis will not be too large, and if the impact is too large and will cause a large number of casualties, it is better to stop it as soon as possible." ”
"Uh-huh. Lisa kept nodding. If it was four years ago, she would definitely not have nodded, under the teachings of the goddess, it is the responsibility of the Dark Moon Apostle to protect the world, and the world's crisis should be nipped in the bud.
But after being influenced by a guy who is good at trickery for more than four years, the girl's attitude has changed a lot, and it is indeed important to protect the world, but it is equally important to maintain the goddess of the church, as long as it doesn't have much impact, it's not unacceptable to take a laissez-faire attitude.
"Then brother, are all these efforts you are making now revolving around this world crisis?"
"Of course not, how can it matter. "Of course, I can't be sure if it's really related, but at least from what I intended, it's completely different." ”
"There have been world crises before, and the Darkmoon Church has also risen, but each time it has only been a few hundred years before it has fallen back into decay, why?"
"Because my brother said before, it is impossible to expand the faith of the goddess by relying on normal methods alone. "So after a few hundred years, as the generations change, the number of beliefs shrinks again. ”
"That's right, so what I'm doing now, although it is true that it can change the status quo, but the most fundamental purpose is to prevent similar situations from happening again. Shul nodded, "I don't want to see the church that has been revived again after our hard work only lasts for a few hundred years and then returns everything to square one. It is my hope that, while it will not be possible to do it once and for all, it will last as long as possible until the next person who can revitalize the temple comes along. ”
"In fact, it is very simple, it is to try to interact with the outside world, try to deepen the connection with other churches, and try to establish friendly relations and even alliances with other gods and churches that have no conflict of interest. ”
"In this way, even if the Darkmoon Sanctuary falls again in the future, relying on the Sanctuary and their association may slow down the decline to the greatest extent, so that the Sanctuary will never be just a few hundred years of glory again. ”
"En-en-en-en-ne-en. "My brother is really the most powerful, and he has planned everything quietly, and it seems that the great Lord Lisa can't stop moving, and he must be able to mature as soon as possible and share his worries for his brother.
"Don't be in such a hurry, time is indeed pressing, but that is for the gods' concept of time. And for us mortals, it's enough for us to grow up slowly. Shuer seemed to have guessed Lisa's thoughts, patted her little head and reassured, "So, everything remains normal, there is no need to do anything deliberately, and when the time comes, everything will naturally be revealed." ”
"Well, don't worry, brother, I know what to do. Lisa jumped off Shure's lap and grabbed him by the hand, "With my brother's efforts, the temple has begun to develop for the better before any special opportunity arises. Brother, hurry up, I'll take you to our heart chapel to have a look, it's really amazing, half a year ago it was like a ruin of the divine territory, and now it looks like you don't dare to recognize it. ”
"Calm down, calm down, I know, I'll go with you, don't drag, don't drag. Grabbed by Lisa's soft little hand, Shul pretended to follow involuntarily with an expression of enjoyment, and when he passed Meria near the courtyard, he did not forget to instruct, "You archbishop is crazy, you have to pull me out, you take care of the house." Attention, that big backpack I put in the meditation room, you showed it to me, don't open it, and don't let anyone touch it. There are very valuable things in it, and we will count on it for next year's food. ”
Valuable?
For the creatures of the Darkmoon Temple, this word is like a spell, no matter who they are, no matter what they are doing, as long as they hear it, they can immediately enter a state of extreme mental concentration, and devote themselves to their work for 200 percent.
A public carriage was called, and along the way Lisa chattered in Shure's ear with great interest, constantly laughing happily, it didn't matter what she wanted to say, it didn't matter what her purpose was, as long as she could follow her brother and chat happily with her brother without a word, it was the happiest thing for the girl. If possible, the girl even hopes that this journey can go on forever and never end.
Of course, this is impossible.
Forty minutes later, the carriage had stopped in the sacred district of the city center. The first thing Shul saw after being pulled out of the carriage was a building under construction.
There is no doubt that this is the gift that will be given by the Lord of the Roses and the Marquis of Ruben, the new chapel of the Darkmoon Temple, the only chapel in the Darkmoon Temple, the only place to show its image to the outside world.
It should have been happy and excited, but Shul was taken aback.
Because the speed of construction of the building was beyond his imagination.
It's too fast.
Obviously, when he left more than half a month ago, he had just determined his intentions, not to mention the actual work, and even the blueprints for the construction had not yet been made, and according to Shuer's assumption, it would take at least half a year for the chapel to be completed.
However, he was wrong, and in twenty days at most, the surface work of the chapel had been completed by two-thirds, and although the interior decoration had not yet begun, the solemnity and solemnity of the Chapel of the True God were already evident from the exterior alone.
The main body is a hall more than 300 square meters wide, and on the side of the entrance, there is the holy image of the Dark Moon Goddess, and the same gentle gaze as the holy elephant in the holy realm, looking at the evil of the mortal world. On the other side is a small pulpit with a hundred chairs underneath, and the first evangelistic meeting on behalf of Luna will be held in public. Although there will not be many people attending, there will definitely be some citizens who are curious to participate in the first evangelistic meeting.
Behind the main hall is a small room that does not see sunlight all day, and there is a door on each side of the small room, which leads to two confessional rooms, and beyond the confessional room, which is a small lounge for the head of the chapel who does not want to go back to the main hall every night to rest overnight.
Coupled with the flower pond in front of the door and the courtyard behind it, the internal and external environment here is really good, no wonder some people are desperately trying to snatch a similar territory.
Bow deeply with her sister to the statue, as an apostle of the Dark Moon, even if the facility is not yet in use, you can't take the goddess lightly. In addition, there are some things that must be started, for example, with the potential candidates who will be assistants in the future, and the places where future work may be started.
That's right, Pastor Tallina, who pretended to be an overseer, did just that.
She was with her four adopted children, whispering something to the foreman representing the construction party, her fingers pointing up and down the walls or roof, apparently assigning tasks to her expectations.
At this time, he suddenly found that Shul and Lisa, the two top bosses, appeared in front of him without warning, and Tarina excitedly led the children to surround him.
"Lord Lisa, Lord Shuer, the craftsmen sent by the people of the Rose Family are really powerful, and in the past few days, the appearance is almost the same. They asked me about the interior decoration just now, but I didn't dare to answer, Lord Shure, it's up to you to come forward. ”
"How long I can stay in the chapel is up to you two people in charge. Shuer felt that he had rejected the other party's proposal, "How about it, these days from being idle and having nothing to do, suddenly becoming busy, can you still adapt?"
"It's okay, it's a little busy, but I feel very fulfilling, thank you, Priest, and you, Lisa-sama. Tarina thanked Shul solemnly, she was really grateful to Shuer, if it wasn't for Shuer, they must still be struggling in the abyss of constantly worrying about tomorrow's food, how could they not only become priests like now, but also have a chapel in charge of them.
"If you are grateful, you will be exempt, the point is ......" Xiu'er stopped suddenly, frowned and hesitated for a moment before revealing a faint smile, "It's really lively today, have you made an appointment?"
As if to explain, there was a soft knock at the open door of the half-finished chapel.
