Chapter 77, Your Excellency
Just as Jacodao was immersed in the fantasy of gastronomic temptation all the way, the valley was close at hand.
"Lord Mingyang, something doesn't seem right!"
Otis's head suddenly came to Jacodao, and he was greeted with a foul breath.
After Jia Kedao was pulled out of his fantasy, he frowned: "Otis, you need to rinse your mouth more." ”
For an alien human like Otis, there is no habit of gargling at all, and after coming to Laojunguan, he has the habit of liking garlic, so the breath can be imagined.
Otis blushed and slightly embarrassed, but it was still important to get down to business, and then told Jia Kedao what he had observed.
It turned out that there were a lot of footprints on the road to the valley, and these footprints could not have been left by the survivors of the valley.
Both Odis and Terrance stressed to the survivors of the valley that they should not leave too obvious marks on the way back to the valley, and that they should use branches to clean as they walked.
Moreover, there are also the footprints of large animals in these footprints, which are not found in the valley.
Could it be that the valley has been revealed by the Desert Church?
Jia Kedao was a little worried, if he was on the earth, Jia Kedao could directly use King Wen's simple hexagram to deduce a general situation, but in this other world, King Wen's simple hexagram had some problems, and the calculated results were completely vague, and it was necessary to formally set up an altar to get a clearer result.
It wasn't until the two of them came to the outside of the valley that they realized that they had a false alarm.
There was a lot of animal manure left outside the valley, and several sentries were disposing of the manure and traces along the way, and they couldn't help but welcome Jacodao and Otis back with joy.
Jia Kedao asked, it turned out that it was not the desert church attack that Jia Kedao guessed, but a group of refugees passing through the abandoned town, and were brought back by Terence and others who were harvesting wheat.
After learning that this was the case, Jia Kedao breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this valley can be regarded as his inheritance in the other world, if it is destroyed, then the loss will be a bit big.
Not to mention the loss of those medicinal herbs, it is difficult to find new residents.
It is not possible to collect refugees gradually, and without enough trust, even if people are collected, it is difficult to develop them.
After entering the valley, before he reached the cave, Jakedao saw a large group of people worshipping the statue of the land god in front of the cave.
These people were not survivors of the valley, they should be the fugitives that the sentinels were talking about.
The number of these refugees was quite large, about 300 people in a dense group, and more than 30 cattle were tied in the woods next to them.
Perhaps fearing that the refugees would make trouble, Terence personally led more than twenty militiamen armed with rattan bows and arrows to surround the refugees.
However, before Jia Kedao and the two approached, the ceremony of worshipping the land of the valley was over.
As the worship service ended, it was clear that Terrance breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to laugh with a flamboyantly dressed refugee.
It can't be said that Terrance is not nervous.
If the more than 20 militiamen under his command had regular military bows and arrows in their hands, they would not have to worry about anything at all.
However, due to the lack of weapons and armaments, these militiamen could only hold rattan bows and arrows.
These rattan bows and arrows are made from a kind of elastic rattan that is not even as powerful as a bow and arrow made of bamboo.
As soon as he thought of this, Jia Kedao suddenly appeared, there seems to be no bamboo in this world?
From the initial tension to the current harmony between the two sides, the one who played the biggest role in it was the valley land lord.
The reason is relatively simple, in this world, believers who believe in the same god are not allowed to kill each other in the vast majority of cases.
This is a divine law that most gods have instituted in order to protect their number of followers from decreasing.
Of course, if you worship a god who has a priesthood of rebellion, murder, etc., then you have to be careful when dealing with believers on the same side, because in most cases a god like this will not require believers to obey this divine law.
Jia Kedao walked over quickly.
Terrance, who was communicating with the refugee leader, was overjoyed to see Jacodao return.
For Terrance, although the group of refugees was brought back by himself, he realized that he was a little ill-conceived after that.
If this group of refugees had had bad intentions and wanted to seize the valley, it would have been inevitable that both sides would have suffered heavy casualties.
In that case, Terrance would be at great fault.
Therefore, seeing Jia Kedao come back, Terrance suddenly felt certain, although these refugees have believed in the valley land and can be regarded as parishioners, but Terrance also knows that there will inevitably be some problems between the original survivors and the refugees, with Jia Kedao at the helm, Terrance is also very relieved, after all, he understands that he is just an executor.
"Baron Chambs, this is His Excellency the Venerable Mingyang Daoist, the earthly agent of the Great Land God. ”
Terrance's introduction to Jia Kedao seems a little nondescript, and His Excellency is Mingyang Dao Chief?
There is still some discussion in the valley about the issue of this title.
After all, the great land god has not yet been officially canonized, so it is somewhat qualified for its agent to use the title of crown.
But if you call adults and the like, it's a little disrespectful.
Therefore, in the end, they set the title of Jia Kedao as His Excellency the Mingyang Dao Chief.
Well, they think that Mingyang Dao Chief, this should be the name of His Excellency the Acting Person.
Jia Kedao corrected these natives several times, but in the end he failed to resist the influence of the natives' habitual thinking, so Jia Kedao could only acquiesce to such a nondescript title.
However, for the Baron of Chambs, Terrance's introduction to Jacodao made his face succumb, and then he smiled and bowed to Jacodao: "Praise the great land god, Your Excellency Mingyang Dao Chief, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of the people under my rule." ”
The Baron is worthy of being a Baron, and his speaking skills are much better than Terrance's.
The main meaning of this sentence is that he is worried that His Excellency the Mingyang Daoist will reach out to his people and destroy his own ruling power.
After all, it remains to be determined whether the land god is truly a god, and most importantly, the scope of this land god's belief does not seem to be vast.
This made the more than 300 lords in the baron's hands a kind of capital.
The Baron had not thought of replacing Jacodao as a priest, it was impossible.
But it was the Baron's dream to get a bigger share of the benefits in the future.
