Crescent Town.

Because of the significant depreciation of construction costs, the buildings are very tall and spacious.

So is the castle of the lords.

The front yard is the town office, and the back yard is the lord's private residence.

A small town is not a big deal, so the area of the town building is not large, but it is also 10 rams, which is divided into three floors.

As for the private house in the backyard, because it is the lord's personal private house, and it was also built by the lord at his expense, the bigger the better, covering an area of more than 30 rams.

The main building occupies about 10 rams, and in addition to gardens, artificial lakes, magic laboratories, alchemy laboratories, etc., all kinds of functions are readily available.

The temple is also huge.

The main hall and backyard cover an area of 15 rams, the height of the main hall is 15 meters, and an additional 20-meter-high bell tower is added.

The bell tower is the tallest building in the town to show the supreme authority of the Golden God in the mortal world.

When Rosen returned, he had a little intimacy with Thrandis and Gendeloni, and then immediately went to the temple.

As the representative body of the Golden God in the mortal world, each lord must show his respect.

For nearly a hundred years, after the Golden God issued an oracle of the separation of gods and man, the temple gradually transcended the earthly world.

But more than 100 years after the oracle was issued, the temple was the most powerful force in the Golden Lands.

Not to mention the terrifying Pure World Sanctuary, if the high priest of the region sees which lord is unhappy, a faith excommunication order goes down, and the lord has to kneel on the spot and beg for mercy.

Of course, this has rarely happened in the past century, but since the Golden God is only retiring and not declining, it is always possible.

For this reason, Lawson had to entertain the priests of the temple.

Take a carriage out of the castle of the lords, and go around the town square for half a circle, less than two hundred meters away, where the temple is located.

The carriage stopped at the main entrance of the temple.

As soon as he got out of the car, the two temple guards at the door saluted him together, and called him "Master Lawson who bathed in divine grace".

Rosen nodded in return and walked a few steps, when a young priest trotted up to receive him.

He took off his hat and windbreaker and handed it to him, and explained his intention: "I have come to visit the priest of Purampan." ”

The main priest, Purpan, is the chief priest of Crescent Moon Town that Lawson met when he was promoted to Divine Grace Mage.

At that time, it was he who rushed back to Silvermoon Fort overnight to report the latest situation in Crescent Town to the High Priest of Fao.

This chief priest made a meritorious service, and at this time, the town of Crescent was built, and the new temple was supposed to be managed by him.

In short, this is the personnel arrangement within the temple, and Lawson has no intention of interfering, as long as the other party cooperates with the work.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white robe and gold sleeves walked out, and when he saw Rosen, he smiled gently, his face full of sincere admiration.

"Ah~ Mayor Lawson, the temple of gods you built is really magnificent, far beyond my imagination."

This temple is brighter than the Great Temple in the south of the city in Silvermoon Castle.

Rosen smiled slightly: "I feel very honored to be appreciated by the Priest of Purpan. ”

Prampan stretched out his hand to make an invitation: "Mayor Town, it's inconvenient to talk in the front hall, let's go to the back hall to talk." ”

"It's an honor."

The two went side by side to the apse.

The apse is naturally very spacious, but the main decoration is done according to the standards of the temple, and the most eye-catching is the sculpture of the inner triangular circle of the golden god.

However, because the space is spacious, there are several small semi-open chat rooms for conversations.

These rooms are flanked by large windows inlaid with frosted glass and wooden screens on the other, guaranteeing a certain amount of privacy and bright light.

The two sat down in one of the chat rooms, and the priests served tea and snacks.

Prampan said to another of the priests, "Go and show the mayor the list of temple personnel." ”

In the future, Rosen will be the lord of Crescent Town, and for this kind of town-level temple, a small part of its income depends on donations from believers, and most of its income depends on the lord's share of profits.

Then since the lord is a big gold lord, he is naturally qualified to know who the temple raises, and he also has some review authority for the temple personnel.

After the retreat of God, the temple was actually gradually secularized.

Soon, the assistant priest brought a detailed list.

Lawson took it and looked closely.

There are a total of 66 people in the temple, including one chief priest, 3 official shamans, 12 assistant priests, 30 daily priests, a team of 10 temple guards, and a team of 10 exorcist warriors.

Among the official shamans, the healing shaman is Sister Vina. The captain of the exorcist samurai turned out to be Filin.

Thinking of the shy, gentle and plump Sister Vina, Rosen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, and a small flame ignited in his heart.

But the presence of Filin surprised him a little.

"Priest, shouldn't Fei Lin be the captain of the exorcism team of the Great Temple of Silvermoon Castle, why did he come to me?"

It's a downgrade.

Prampan sighed: "It is true that Filin used to be the captain, but he is a person who understands big things very well, but he always makes mistakes in small things. ”

Rosen raised his eyebrows and guessed, "the girl's belly outside?" ”

He knew a lot about the temperament of this former comrade-in-arms.

"Ahem~~"

The priest of Prampan couldn't help but clench his fists and cough lightly, his face full of embarrassment.

"Everybody says the mayor is straightforward and never hides, and now it seems that this is true."

Then, he nodded to confirm Rosen's guess.

"While on a mission, I slept with the unmarried daughter of a down-and-out sir. After the belly is bigger. The old knight went to the temple in a rage. ”

"The chief priest of Fao remembered that Fei Lin had fought desperately against the demons many times and made countless contributions to the gods, so he pulled down his face and put this matter right."

"But there is a price to be paid for any mistake, so the position of captain is gone."

"The High Priest means that this prodigal son will come to you and leave it under your control."

Rosen spread his hands: "After all, it is a life-and-death comrade-in-arms who once faced the evil god together, and I will take care of it." ”

He then handed the list back to Prampan: "Priest, do you estimate how much the temple will cost to run on a daily basis?" ”

At this point, Plumpan was also prepared, and at this time he directly began to calculate it for Rosen.

"The temple funds are divided into three parts, the monthly gold of the shaman and the samurai, which has been spent on daily operations."

"For ordinary shamans, 200 crowns a month is enough."

"The samurai are divided into two parts."

"Exorcist warriors have to go out on missions and often face life-threatening conditions, so the monthly gold is very high."

"Under normal circumstances, the low-level exorcist samurai has 15 crowns, the middle-level is 30 crowns, and the high-level must give 70 crowns."

"Today, Fei Lin is already a high-level samurai, and among the other 10 people, there are 3 middle-level and 7 low-rank, which adds up to 265 crowns."

"The other 10 temple guards. Its monthly gold is 7% of the exorcist samurai, that is, 186 crowns. ”

"There is one more daily expense, which adds up to about 500 crowns, and I will give a list of the specific expenses later."

"So, the monthly expenses add up to 1,151 crowns."

"Normally, the lord's burden is seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent is raised by the temple itself."

Rosen listened carefully, although he didn't care much about the money now, there was no need to spend more money.

After all, even if you bear seventy percent, it will be an expenditure of tens of thousands of crowns a year, and if it is transferred to Fanggu Town in Morrow, it will be a huge expenditure.

The best way is to understand carefully, follow the rules and implement them conscientiously, so that you will not be deceived and wronged, nor will you be scolded for being harsh and stingy.

After listening to this, he said, "Yes." According to the rules, is it paid once a month or once a year? ”

Prampan said, "It's all right. However, considering that the mayor is now building a town and the budget is tight, my suggestion is to pay once a month to reduce the financial pressure on the town. ”

Lawson nodded: "That's good." Later, I'll give it to Deputy Mayor Harrick, who will arrange for the treasurer to pay for it. ”

"Then it's going to be a problem for the mayor."

That's it for business.

Lawson relaxed in his chair and said with a smile, "Priest Vena has helped me a lot, and the runes she gave me have saved my life many times. ”

"I am very grateful to her, and since she has come, I hope to pay a visit."

This is no surprise to Prampan.

In fact, Archpriest Fao specifically mentions the subtleties involved and highlights that this is part of Rosen's charism.

Since it was a divine grace, he had nothing to say.

But the temple has its own rules for operation, and there is no one else here, so Purampan reminds him clearly.

"Whatever the Mayor, I want your personal relationship with Vena to be kept as secret as possible, after all, the lost lambs are outrageously jealous, although they don't have much ability."

Rosen nodded: "Lord Priest, I will keep your words firmly in mind, and I will never let my personal friendship with Vina affect the normal operation of the temple." ”

The priest of Prampan was relieved, because judging from the series of things that Rosen had done in the past, he was very reliable, and since he had promised so, he would never cause trouble.

"We also just arrived yesterday, and Masman Vina should be sorting out his personal belongings in the single quarters in the backyard right now. The dormitory room number is 6. You just go straight to her. ”

"Thank you, Priest."

The structure of the temple was designed by Lawson himself, and Lawson naturally knew where the dormitory was.

In order not to cause a bad effect, he stood up, applied a low-level invisibility technique to himself, and then walked all the way against the wall towards the backyard.

Seeing him leave quietly, the priest of Purampan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Although it was God's favor, he felt that this form of favor was too preferred.

Of course, since God had decided so, he had nothing to say but acquiesce.
