Chapter 142: The Blind Brotherhood
Lear stands in front of a canyon behind the island and waits for his first guests.
He had left the shipbuilding to Kirk Sr. and Jeremy to deal with, and it was their business to make the best combination of ships and guns, and all Lear needed to do was provide supplies and accept the results.
That's why he's waiting here, because the teleportation scroll that Ikas left him this morning has reacted, and representatives of the Blind Brotherhood will be visiting later today and bringing him the help he asked for.
There is a one-way hidden portal inside the canyon, which Ikas told him on the teleportation scroll.
Lear didn't know where the portal would lead, but if the two sides were in good contact later, he would have the idea of making the portal a two-way street.
A small group of centaurs walked out of the canyon, and the dappled sunlight illuminated dozens of figures, all gray-black cloaks and scarves, and then showed bright eyes, and when they saw Lear waiting alone in front of the canyon, they quickened their pace.
"Hello, Your Excellency. ”
The first old man saluted Lear first, and Ikas was still standing two positions behind him, so it seems that this old man has a very high status in the Blind Brotherhood, but because of Lear's status, the old man does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
If, as Ikas said, the young man in front of him is the earthly spokesman of the Dragon God of Order, then even the president must remain humble in front of him, but this needs to be verified.
"Hello, I am amazed by the efficiency of your association. ”
It's only been a week since Lear visited Ikas, and the Blind Brotherhood, who doesn't know where they are, has gathered so many people to come to Misty Island, and it seems that the hidden power of this organization is even stronger than he originally thought.
"As you wish, we've brought you the supplies and personnel you need, including twenty Holy Knights, forty high-level craftsmen, and ten thousand pounds of iron ore and other resources, but our carry-on rings can't hold that much supplies, and the portal can't pass too many lives, so the horses and heavy armor have set off at the same time as the convoy, and in about two weeks they will be in the waters of the Misty Isles. ”
The old man replied humbly.
"Tell me your names, then, and I will confess to Asha your devotion and faithfulness to her at the time of the sacrifice. ”
Lear is in a good mood now, and as for the sacrifice is not nonsense, he will definitely seek Yasha's help when the magic guild is about to be established, and it will be a trivial matter for him to add a few names.
But to the ears of the crowd in front of them, it was as pleasing and uplifting as the gospel of the Holy Spirit.
You must know that in the Blind Brotherhood, even an elder of the rank of the old man is not qualified to sacrifice to Yasha often, let alone let his name go directly to the gods.
They humbly consider themselves to be nothing more than ants serving the true God, never mentioning their own names in prayer and worship, and only daring to praise the miracles of Asha, but if this is done by Asha's spokesman, it is a completely different kind of glory.
"On behalf of all of you in the Brotherhood of the Blind, I thank you for your kindness, but before I do so, I have a small request, please don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't believe you, but that we need to have a clear account for such an important decision to the Presbyterian Church and all the congregations, I am Raymond, one of the elders of the Brotherhood of the Blind, and I reaffirm your understanding. ”
Eventually, Elder Raymond said his name, but the look in his eyes at Lear showed that there was much more anticipation than doubt.
"As it should be. ”
Lear smiled, of course he knew what Raymond was referring to, and it was really difficult to convince the public if such an important matter was not confirmed by the members of the Elders, so he expressed his understanding.
Then he untied his soul, and the slightest will that made the world tremble and surrender seemed to shine from the cracks of the distant void, and it enveloped the hearts of everyone in the audience.
Like a mother, like a master, like a god's wrath like mercy, this will intertwined and entwined became stronger and stronger with time, and Raymond and the others knelt down humbly for the first time.
"Glorify my lord in your name. ”
Raymond buried his head and kissed the ground beneath Lear's feet deeply.
。。。。。。
In the council hall, Lear sat with Raymond and several prominent members of the Blind Brotherhood, while Mrak and the Holy Knights stood in the middle.
The Brotherhood of the Blind brought a large amount of supplies to Lear this time, which greatly alleviated the urgent need in the construction process of Spartacus.
More importantly, they brought enough horses and knight equipment to arm 500 people, although these horses and equipment are still drifting on the sea, but Mrak, who has been idle, finally does not have to deal with orc slave warriors every day.
He is about to get on the right track that Lear has arranged for him - the Knight Captain.
Before the arrival of the horses and equipment, he needed to select four hundred and seventy-nine excellent warriors from among the slave warriors, and cooperate with these twenty holy knights and himself to form a truly formed holy knights.
Although strictly speaking, each Holy Knight must have at least level 6 or above in individual combat power, and even Mlak himself is currently only a level 5 warrior, but it doesn't matter, Lear is very patient.
With these twenty true Holy Knights as captains and instructors, Lear believes that over time, Mrak will be able to build a true team of knights, and with his own talent for speed, this future Holy Knights will be invincible wherever they go.
And Lear, the craftsman brought by Raymond, didn't arrange them for the time being, because the town was built at this point, and that thing was already on the agenda.
So when he proposed to Raymond to build an idol of Asha, he was unanimously applauded by everyone in the Blind Brotherhood.
In fact, on another continent, there is also a statue of the god Asha where the headquarters of the Blind Brotherhood is located, but the statue is only a few dozen meters wide and a few dozen meters high, and the image is only vaguely created according to historical records.
As you can imagine, when they heard that Lear was going to build a thousand-meter statue, they were shocked.
As the sole spokesperson of the Dragon God of Order on earth, the Blind Brotherhood is convinced that Lear knows the concept of being equal, and is thrilled that they are finally able to witness the true face of the Dragon God of Order.
Lear's idea was to suspend the construction of the town except for the dockyard and hold a study class for all the craftsmen except for the old Kirk and other boatmen, so that when the supplies from the Blind Brotherhood arrived, all the craftsmen could immediately devote themselves to the construction of the statue of Asha.
The construction of Spartacus has come to this point, and this matter will inevitably become a top priority.
Once the statue is built, the news will spread through the Blind Brotherhood, attracting more worshippers of Asha, including another huge organization, the Sisters of Silence, and it will be possible for both organizations to move their headquarters directly to Spartacus.
The world is too big for Lear to search for the whereabouts of those people one by one, so let them find themselves.
What's more, creating an idol of Asha would make it much easier for Lear to collect and spread the faith or to seek Asha's power through sacrifices, in short, although it was time-consuming and laborious, but it was beneficial and harmless.
A unified faith, a stable base, a cohesive heart, and a steady flow of materials and wealth are the indispensable foundations for what he will do next.
The only thing that is lacking now is the population base and the number of troops, but as long as there is strength on this sea, nothing cannot be captured by plundering, and Lear has never been an indecisive person.
Once all this was settled, Lear instructed Landrig to bring the charts.
Old Kirk and Jeremy's combined warship is still in development and is not available, but the three Corsair ships and the old gunboats converted from large merchant ships in the harbor have been idle for a long time.
Waiting left and right, Lear plans to do something during this time.
After a brief thought, his gaze fell on a small dot a few hundred nautical miles west of Misty Island.
