Chapter 0122: Dust Falls
The spring in the sky melts into winter snow, the earth returns to spring, and everything recovers.
The trees on the mountain sprouted new shoots, and the flowers and plants flourished.
After a few spring rains, the whole world is dressed in a green coat by the spring girl.
A babbling mountain spring flows down the mountain and into the village's pool.
After a tragic tragedy in the village of Tarn, there are several brand-new tombstones in the cemetery in the back hill.
After the villagers were sad, they plunged into the busy spring ploughing.
The dead are gone, but the living still have to live.
If you miss spring ploughing, you won't be able to pay your taxes in the summer.
Finally, after busy with spring ploughing, the villagers, who had forgotten their grief, began to gather together to prepare for a big event about the rise and fall of their village.
The site was chosen to build a church.
Two months ago, after Nock defeated Sebasan, the villagers regained their senses.
But when they found them all lying in the rubble with serious injuries and pain all over their bodies, everyone was stupefied.
In the end, it was the lord Baron Fred who led dozens of knights under his command to rescue the villagers from the rubble.
The villagers who calmed down recalled what they had done, and their faces were scared and ashamed.
I'm afraid, because they attacked the honorable priests and lords, as well as the village chief and others. Fear of being held accountable.
Ashamed, because they remembered that when they besieged the tavern, they spoke insults to Father Lane who rescued them, and falsely accused them of being liars. What's more, they also want to burn Magina in the same village to death!
Fortunately, the lord didn't bother with them, and after Priest Wakarn used a few light and rain spells to heal the villagers' hands and feet, he locked them in the mill and stayed with his children.
In the words of the lord, let them reflect for three days.
After three days of detention, there was no more resentment in the hearts of all the villagers.
And not like at the beginning, even in the case of shame and fear, there was resentment on the faces of the villagers.
After all, it was the lords and the knights of Gareth who broke their hands and feet.
Lying in the ruins with broken hands and feet, they suffered no less.
Poor people must have something to hate, anyway, if they dared to release this group of people to go home at that time, maybe the villagers who were afraid of being held accountable would dare to attack Nock and others who were recuperating again in the middle of the night!
The tavern collapsed, and Nock and the others rested at the village chief's house that night.
Sadly, Tina, the village chief's wife, was brutally murdered by Fez in order to protect her daughter Lisanna.
On the contrary, it was the children of the villagers, who were imprisoned in the mill by Fez for some reason, but were not harmed.
When the baron's guards found Tina's body, old Sean was directly angry, but fortunately, his daughter was still there, so he didn't have a breath to go.
According to the overnight count of Anos' clerk Graeme, six lives were lost in the village of Tarn, all of whom were adults, four men and two women, one of whom was Fez himself.
Five houses were lost, one of which was Magina's tavern, and the remaining four were involved in the battle between Nock and Sebasan.
For this reason, Nock, Leo, Magina, Jasmine, and Wakarn stayed in the village for the night.
The next day, he was sent away by the baron in batches.
Vacaan was escorted back to the city of Seine.
Of course, he was paid handsomely. Fifty gold coins.
Among them, there was the villagers' treatment fee, and they made up five gold coins. The baron's toil, and reward, twenty-five gold coins. Nock thanked him by giving him twenty gold coins.
Nock and Leo, along with the homeless mother and daughter Magina, were sent by the Baron to his mansion, about two miles from the village of Tarn, to recuperate.
It must be mentioned here that due to Nock's weakness and Vakarn's being taken to treat the villagers, the injured Leo was not treated in time, and as a result, the wound rotted and pus, and after pulling out the wooden thorns, he had to dig up the carrion and use wound medicine to treat the wound and allow the wound to heal.
Originally, the recovered Nock wanted to help Leo heal, but when he saw Magina taking care of Leo with his daughter, Nock suddenly decided not to care.
Perhaps, this is an opportunity.
A chance to bring Leo out of his sad past.
After that, the four of Nok stayed at the castle of Anos for a month.
During this month, Nock managed to obtain the identity of his realm from Anos.
Of course, Nock and Leo are not Arnos Fred's subjects.
Rather, it is similar to proof of a residence permit.
However, this is not what Nock asked for.
Rather, Carol and Graeme, two of Arnos's right-hand men, bombarded Nock's ears every day, begging him to stay and build a church in the village of Tarn, and sent them to Nock after Nock agreed.
Nock, who had achieved his goal, naturally gave the fur of the ice bear to Anos very happily.
Anos, who received the fur of the Ice Bear, was like a treasure.
Disappeared with the ice armor bear skin for half a month.
Later this month, Anos returned with a set of ice crystal armor made of ice armor and a shield with ice crystals.
The ice crystal armor was left by Anos, and as for the shield, Anos gave it to Leo.
Leo didn't refuse, because he asked Anos to help find someone to forge it.
After realizing that he was going to be Nock's shield, Leo gave up on the idea of rebuilding a longsword.
The meaning of guardianship is to guard.
If he had been dressed in armor or shields during this incident, he wouldn't have been hurt at all, and Nock wouldn't have blown himself off.
He believes that with his protection, Nock will definitely be able to output better.
He didn't doubt that at all.
He could protect Nok better than the guy named Vakarn.
Well, it's actually Leo who is jealous.
On the day of Wakarn's departure, Nock's reluctance made one wonder if the two of them had one leg.
Later, when listening to Nock's story about more than 100 "Radiant Shields" that Vakkan sent in an instant, after seeing Nok's satisfied and admiring expression, Leo decided that he wanted to be a shield knight!
Become Nock's shield!
So, when Anos said that he wanted to use the ice bear skin that Nock had given him to build a weapon for the two of them, Leo spoke his mind.
As a result, Anos, who was moved by Leo, also decided that building armor was more important than weapons.
After all, no matter how bad the weapons are, as long as they still have the strength, they can kill the enemy.
But good clothing and armor can better protect them.
However, after getting the new equipment, Anos pulled Leo to compete despite his injury.
Causing Magina to run up to Ryan and express her displeasure.
Seeing Magina, who had already dared to express her heart bravely, Nock naturally did not disappoint Magina, and immediately said that he was going to the village to build a church.
Before that, though, Markina's tavern needs to be rebuilt.
So, taking advantage of the villagers' spring ploughing, Nock's money, and Anos's guards helped, a group of people turned into master builders and rebuilt Magina's tavern.
Perhaps the villagers wanted to make up for Magina, and when they learned that Magina was going to rebuild the tavern, the village deliberately doubled the floor area of the tavern.
Yes, Nock waved his hand, indicating that it was directly covered with three layers.
For this, Magina protested. Later, he was persuaded by Nock with a reason.
At the same time, Nock became the majority shareholder of the Makina Tavern.
Because, with Nock's money, Magina is in charge of the future operation of the tavern.
That's it.
With Nock's money, it took a month for Magina's tavern to be built.
After the tavern was built, it did not open immediately.
Because, the spring ploughing is over, and the villagers have been idle.
The building of the church was put on the agenda by the clerk Graeme.
As for the eligibility to build a church, it was approved by the regional bishop through the hands of Vakarn as early as a month ago.
Of course, Nock still made a trip to the city of Seine.
Not only met with the lord of the city, Count Kantis Donald, but also attended his banquet.
At the banquet met Regional Bishop Robert Noyce.
There were also the three sons of the earl and some nobles of the city.
At the invitation of the bishop, he met Father Theo Bruce, Vacaan's teacher, at the church.
It was a wise priest, and his gaze made Nock tremble.
And after observation, Nock felt that Bishop Noyce respected Father Bruce very much.
It was also during that visit that Nock learned that Wakkane's full name was Vis Wakkane.
All in all, with the help of Vakarn and the introduction of Anos, neither the city lord nor the church was embarrassed.
In fact, Nock didn't know that the reason why he was not harassed by the city lord and the church was because of the priest's robe.
Father John left him two priest's robes, one of which had been broken in battle in England and was kept by Lillian.
The rest of the piece was the one that Nock wore to visit the city lord and bishop.
It is a priest's robe with gold trim on a black background, and it is matched with a gold-rimmed bust of the shoulders. It looks no different from the black and white-rimmed priest's robe of an ordinary priest, but it has a special meaning.
Clergy below the priesthood generally wear plain black robes.
Only clergy above the priest level can wear the shoulders.
But different positions, different ranks of clergy, on the robes and shoulders, there are different colors of lace.
For example, ordinary priests wear black robes and black shoulders, with a black belt, and a black hat.
The bishopric clergy, with a black base, will have purple lace on the robe and shoulders. The belt is also purple.
Then, there are gold, white, and purple, and so on.
Each of them represents a special status.
The most special thing is the pure white robe, embroidered with gold edges, which is the exclusive robe of the Pope.
There is actually gold lace on Nock's robe, which represents Nock's special status in the church.
The bishop did not dare to inquire easily.
That's why the bishop didn't refuse when he heard that Nock was going to build a church in a nearby village.
But Nok didn't know this, and thought it was Vakarn's face that was big enough.
No, I've finally waited for a good day.
Clerk Graeme couldn't wait to find the village chief Sean, and led the villagers to start selecting a site.
After choosing the site, it will be sent to Nock for a look.
As for Nock? He's in the tavern, fighting a young lady to the death!
