Chapter 1 A temple is a temple where the gods dwell
In the year 737, after the spring rains of April poured over the earth, summer was a little impatient to chase spring away, and it made the sun deliberately show some scorching connotations, reminding people that they were about to bring the heat with them. The forest is already verdant, full of life, all kinds of delicate flowers, fighting like a girl in a long skirt on the street, secretly in the bottom of her heart and her companions to compare beauty, thin shirts again occupy the main position in the wardrobe, it is a good time to show off the figure.
But Brian showed a little too much, he didn't even wear a shirt, and was practicing the basic advanced technique of warriors on a flat ground in front of the Viscount's Mansion, which is a compulsory course for every warrior, through the practice of advanced techniques, absorbing the energy that exists in nature, and constantly storing it in the body for use in battle.
Sarina walked out of the gate of the old building with a bamboo basket on her shoulder, ready to put the oreganga, bergamot and half-day flower balm in the shade under the tree, dry them and make perfume, she walked past Brian who was wiping his body in front of the basin, glanced at his well-proportioned and sturdy torso, and asked lightly: "Why, don't you continue to sleep today?"
"I lay in bed, not to sleep, but to get rid of distractions and think about what to do next. Brian explained.
"That's right, take your chest full of diamonds, and leave everything to me?"
"Who told you to promise to be my assistant?" Brian smiled and took a step closer to Sarina, "Look at my pectoral muscles, are you okay?"
"Humph!" Sarina puffed out her chest proudly, "why expose your flaws?"
"I'm not arguing with women, tell me about the situation in the past few days, have the temple guards started to act?"
On the stone platform of the small flower bed, Sarina sprinkled the various spices in the basket, and then gently spread them out, and said as she went, "No, they don't take you as a new bishop in their eyes at all, Captain Ferdinand said that the guards will have at least three days of rest, and if there is no good treatment and women to serve, who will go to the jungle to suffer again." ”
"!" Brian angrily kicked the big tree next to him, "a bunch of dogs, didn't I use all the maids that Archduke Alik gave me to serve them?"
"Damn, my spices!" said Sarina angrily, looking at the large foliage, broken branches, and dust falling from the stone platform, "What kind of tantrum are you? ”
"What's the use of saying I want these arrogant guys? I didn't inform them if I knew about it, the man-eating boy was dead, and let these bastards go around in the forest for a year. Brian said, "Sarina, I've decided that as soon as Gallaher's mercenaries arrive, I'll let Ferdinand and them go back to Sacred Heart City, so as not to make the fiefdom a mess." ”
But in this way, the new church did not even have a strong guard. ”
"Powerful but disobedient to command, what's the use of keeping it, after a long time, I'm afraid that Ferdinand will have actual control of the division. Brian shook his head, "You have someone inform the captain of the guard and say they're coming to me in the afternoon." Let's go, let's have breakfast. ”
Since the town office was changed to the Viscount's Palace, except for the addition of a few servants, no new facilities and furniture have been added, and after Brian left the cook and gardener, he made other arrangements for the rest of the Grand Duke's rewards, because there was no half of the maid left, Sarina quarreled with Brian several times.
All the expenses remained simple, and half of the diamonds Brian had were given to Vice President Sarina as the start-up capital of the Toby Chamber of Commerce, and the other half was used for the construction of temples and barracks, and now he was almost destitute.
"This cook's skills are really good, and he is much better at frying eggs than you. Brian picked up the food with a fork and put it in his mouth, "What I'm most worried about now is Adela, he hasn't moved for more than ten days, with his fiery style, there must be something wrong with the lumberyard, and someone must be sent to find out the situation today." ”
"I already arranged it last night, Steinbell will leave early this morning, and I guess it's all on the way now. Sarina also picked up a piece of fried egg and tasted it, she didn't agree with Brian.
"I hope it's not too bad, Adela is a talent. Brian was a little worried, "What's the plan for today?"
"In the morning, the foundation stone of the temple will be laid, and in the afternoon you will meet Ferdinand, and you will have to inspect the defensive fence and barracks being built in the town, and in the evening, Mayor Marlow of Maple Leaf should arrive here and there will be a reception dinner. ”
"Then I haven't been free for a whole day, and it's really not interesting to be promoted. ”
"Yes, my lord, if there is time after the dinner, Bourne will come and teach you a magic lesson. Sarina's smile was a little bad, "It's been a fulfilling life." ”
"Is your assistant going to drive me crazy?"
"Who told you that my fried eggs are not as good as a cook?" said Sarina, "and you haven't bothered with anything about the Chamber of Commerce yet." ”
"Well, then I should wear the bishop's robe today, and a disgusting high hat, which looks like a big tomb. ”
Brian wore the "grave" and Sarina came to a newly opened flat land in the north of the town, and after seeing the black crowd, the bishop frowned deeply and asked Gaunt, who was in charge of the construction work: "What did you do, what did you call the townspeople for, didn't I explain it, just a few of us can mean it?"
"My lord, I would have liked it, but Lord Ferdinand disagreed, and he brought all the believers. You also know that what the temple guards are doing in the town these days, whoever dares to contradict them will have at least two teeth knocked out. Gaunt said helplessly.
"It's these scumbags again!" Brian said angrily, "I wanted to talk to him again in the afternoon, but since we did, let's save some time." ”
Brian walked briskly and saw Ferdinand standing in front of the crowd, swaggering, shouting for the townspeople to kneel, waiting for the holy moment with the most reverent gesture.
"Don't kneel, do whatever you have to do, the shops are closed, and the crops in the fields are left unattended?" Brian stood in front of the captain of the guard, waving his hand at the townspeople, and the crowd was in a commotion, and after a while, it dispersed.
"Your Excellency. Ferdinand's face was red and white, and if it wasn't for the strict hierarchy of the church, he would definitely clean up Brian. "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this, how can believers not participate in the sacred foundation laying ceremony?"
"Laying the foundation, just a little bit, we just set up a monument, tell the goddess that she has built a new house, and invite her to come and play, but now the goddess has not come, can the devotion of the believers be dedicated to a stone?" Brian quibbled, "this kind of ceremony, I have to be pious, otherwise the goddess will not come, it will be bad." ”
After Brian finished speaking, he knelt down against the cornerstone with a pop, looked up at Ferdinand, and the captain of the guard knelt next to the bishop, and continued: "At least we should let everyone know about the magnificence of the future temple, so that the believers can donate money and help. ”
"Magnificent? No, no, no, the temple of Toby Church is not magnificent at all, and I plan to build it two meters high and two meters wide. Brian laughed.
"How do you live there?" said Ferdinand.
"The temple is for the gods to live, the gods can change, and the space is not a problem for her, but why do you have to live in it, are you also a god, or do you usually do those things that you can't see, you have to let the gods see clearly?"
"You...... You ......" Ferdinand was so angry that he forgot to use the honorific.
