The messengers flew in the dark night, and after nearly half a month of fierce negotiations, Furious Wing City finally agreed to the counteroffer of Gloomy Crystal City, and the matter of borrowing fire was confirmed. The remuneration will be divided into two payments, one half in advance and the other half after the completion of the work.

The Sivana Temple promised to send a Realm Wizard to receive the materials, a huge amount, and the priceless treasures could not be escorted by ordinary knights and wizards, and it was safer and more convenient for the Realm Wizard to come and pack them with magic rings and take them away.

The Domain Keeper sent by Furious Wings City is still Cleveland, and this time, in addition to receiving various materials, he is also tasked with finding out the information of the Lord of the Holy Fire and the mysterious Divine Son.

But the only one who received him was Otis, not to mention the Son of God, and even Valc did not appear.

Cleveland pretended to be casual and said, "Haven't the Son of God and Lord Svein come back yet?" ”

Otis didn't answer and asked, "Do you have something?" ”

Cleveland shook his head and said, "Just wanted to meet this one." I went back and asked my lord, the one you serve never seems to have appeared in the dark world? ”

Otis nodded and said calmly: "My god comes from the underworld, similar to the situation in the abyss. ”

Sure enough, it's an outer god.

Cleveland's face was full of confusion, and he suddenly said, "Don't mind going out for a walk with me?" ”

Otis was not surprised, and smiled faintly: "The priest is interested, I will take it as a companion." ”

Let's take the lead in leading the way.

Out of the temple is the giant statue of the Dark Spirit Dragon, because of the protection of the city protection array, the battle of everyone before the month did not damage the statue in the slightest. At this time, there were many people in the square who were worshipping reverently, and these people were either angry or unwilling, and their mouths were full of words. Some of them were richly dressed and richly built; Some were ragged and vegetable. The number of people was nearly 1,000, and there were still people coming from the six chain bridges one after another, and the soldiers of the Weidao Regiment around them looked nervous, and they were rarely at a loss.

Cleveland listened for a moment and smiled, "It seems that there are many people who don't want to believe in that one?" If so many people make a fuss, even the temple won't dare to force it, right? ”

It turned out that these people had come to the temple to pour out their grievances and complain to the dragon god. After the temple released the wind to inform the people of Gloom Crystal City that the dragon god and the dragon temple would collectively submit to the Lord of the Holy Fire, and the Dragon Temple would be changed to the Holy Fire Temple, and the Holy Fire Cult was formed, thousands of people had already come to protest in just half a month.

Most of these people are urban dwellers, and tribal people on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain are rare.

But it is the inhabitants of the city that are the most deterrent, because these people are either the most influential merchants, gangs, or mercenaries in the city, or simply the relatives of temple wizards, wizard apprentices, and knights of the Guardian Order, and the slightest mishandling can cause a terrifying storm in the city.

Cleveland understands this kind of public anger, and thousands of years of faith cannot be changed by saying it, and without bloodshed, one faith can never replace another.

He is very concerned about Otis's handling now, because it reflects whether Otis has enough confidence to overturn everything from scratch.

It's a pity that what he didn't know was that if the goddess hadn't shown the miracle of opening her mouth to become a constitution and give the dying Otis a new life, even if he was obedient, he would not dare to forcibly suppress it in the face of such protests that would have caused the decline of the city-state, and the matter of establishing a religion could only be slowly planned, and it would take ten or even hundreds of years to slowly change customs.

But now, Otis knows that the goddess is an omnipotent and powerful god, and he will never slack off on the oracle of the goddess, even if he wants to kill a river of blood and corpses everywhere, Otis will never frown.

Facing Cleveland's temptation, Otis said calmly: "Don't worry, this will all be solved." The day when the earth's leylines are unobstructed is the time when our gods establish their religion. ”

"Hehe, deep-seated beliefs are the hardest to change, and I'm curious if the high priest has any way to solve them. Might as well speak up and let me look at it, and I can emulate it when I encounter such a tricky situation in the future. Cleveland asked relentlessly.

Otis smiled at him and said calmly, "No mercy!" ”

Cleveland's smile froze, and he felt the resoluteness in Otis's short words, and a chill rushed from his back to the heavens......

Oblivious to Cleveland's shock, Otis walked out the side door, and it was a long time before the Sivana Temple priest woke up from a dream and strode after him.

There were many ruins in the city, which were caused by the aftermath of the battle of the five fourth-order powerhouses that day. In addition, the knights of the three cities and the abyssal horned demons fought against the dragon servant army in the outer city, and there were ruins and broken walls everywhere.

However, the casualties of ordinary people were not high, and even the tribes on the mountainside that could not retreat into the protective array did not have many deaths. The reason for this is that in the dark world, population is also an extremely valuable resource, and the three major city-states already regarded Dark Crystal City as their own at that time, so they naturally would not slaughter it casually.

As long as there was no death to resist in the camp, those knights directly crossed the tribes to fight the dragon servants, and even the huge Abyss Horned Demons deliberately avoided the tribes.

After all, for them, the strength of the mountainside tribe is not worth mentioning at all, and any knight squad can be wiped out.

That's when Cleveland noticed that the city wasn't just being restored, and the city was even expanding.

The clothes of these people seem to be the tribesmen of the mountainside?

"You're planning to expand the city?" Cleveland asked curiously.

The size of an urban area often reflects the ability of a city-state to provide for it, and the reason why the urban areas of a small city-state are confined to the vicinity of the crater is because they can only support so many people, and no matter how large they are, the city-state will decay.

Otis nodded: "This is the order of the Son of God, saying that it is not safe under the mountain, and he wants to move all the tribes to the mountain." ”

Cleveland wondered, "The tribesmen are not slaves, they can live if they are given some food. Didn't you tell your Son of God that so many people had gathered on the mountain that it would take a whole day just to walk down the mountain and gather food? It is more difficult to go up the mountain, and the harvest of hunting may not be able to feed so many tribes? ”

There was no slave custom, so there were only Buraku people and townspeople.

Otis apparently spoke to Herman, and the two discussed a solution, to which he replied: "When the fire is borrowed, the city-state will recruit laborers to build a road to the bottom of the mountain, and build a garrison near the foot of the mountain, and set up a bazaar in the garrison, and build a simple fortress around the garrison, with the bazaar for the caravans to trade with the tribal hunting parties, and the fortress for the planters to live in." In this way, some tribesmen can buy food by building roads to obtain dragon coins, others can get rations by planting breadfruit trees, and the tribe's hunting party can also contribute a part of the rations, which can temporarily solve the food problem. However, in order to fundamentally solve the problem, Shenzi said that it is necessary to vigorously emancipate and develop the productive forces. ”

Cleveland was stunned, "Productivity? ”

Otis laughed, "Miko's explanation is more complex and profound, but he said that as far as Gloomy City is concerned, it is the ability to produce food. ”

Cleveland smiled knowingly, "You god son is quite interesting, I have never seen a wizard who cares so much about those untouchables." Didn't he know that if the untouchables were too well fed, they would not have a firm faith? ”

As one of the high-ranking members of the Shivana Temple, he has a lot of experience in how to tame his devotees. He knew that hunger and fear were two of the most powerful weapons in the world, and that when used properly, believers would be extremely religious. One of the sorcerers in the history of the Sivana Temple was the Heart of Herbs, who was good at cultivating plants, and he had already cultivated crops with short growth cycles and extremely high yields.

But the temple of Sivana never used his work throughout his life, and even in the year of famine, he did not use this high-yielding crop to save people.

The reason for this is to better harvest faith. Every bowl of bland bread porridge and a mouthful of clean water in the temple is enough for a pariah to sell his soul and become the most devout believer in Sylvana.

Otis is also proficient in the way of balance, but not as excessively as those in the Sivana Temple, and he said lightly: "The Son of God is merciful and wise as the sea, how can you and I figure it out." ”

"Hehe, then I sincerely hope that you can establish a religion smoothly." Cleveland didn't think it was wrong, but said magnanimously.

After a moment of silence, Otis asked, "When did the development of the leylines begin?" ”

Gloom City has paid its money, and now it's time for Fury Wing City to make good on its promise.

But it is not a simple matter to open up the leylines, not only in Angry Wing City, but also in Gloom Crystal City.

According to the normal situation, it will take half a year for both sides, and Otis thinks the same. He plans to take advantage of this time to complete the conversion of the citizens' beliefs, those who disobey should be killed, exiled to those who should be exiled, at least before the departure of the Divine Son, to make Gloomy Crystal City a city that belongs entirely to the goddess believers, so that he can rest assured that he will put power to himself.

I believe that as long as he shows his ability, the Son of God will never send someone to restrain him.

But Cleveland said, "A week later." ”

Otis was surprised: "So fast? ”

Cleveland thought in his heart that if it weren't for the sake of building sacrificial vessels, the temple would definitely drag on for two or three years. But his master has now reached a critical moment, and the temple side is more urgent than Gloomy Crystal City, and several wizards are already ready.

However, this matter is top secret and cannot be divulged in the slightest. The Priest of Furious Wing City smiled and asked, "If you're not ready, we can wait." But if we miss next week, it's your city's turn to wait for us. ”

Naturally, he can't afford to drag it out, but it's okay to scare the other party with words.

Otis naturally didn't dare to follow his words, and immediately said: "We can start at any time, have you brought the spatial coordinates of the magma lake of Landu Mountain?" ”

Landu Mountain is the volcano where Angry Wing City is located, and the so-called borrowing fire is that the wizard sets a spatial coordinate between the two volcanoes, and after the two sides exchange the spatial coordinates, the domain wizards or sky knights of the two sides join forces to open a temporary spatial passage to let the volcanic magma flow into it.

Since the entire process of borrowing fire lasts at least two months, each side must have at least two Realmers or Sky Knights to hold on.

The Shivana Temple is full of masters, and naturally it is full of manpower to start at any time. Although the talents on the side of Dark Crystal City are withering, fortunately, Valk and Otis are barely enough.

Cleveland pointed at Otis and bounced a millilight, which was the spatial coordinates of the magma lake under the Blue Capital Mountain. Otis grabbed it casually and said to Cleveland Wait a minute, and the whole person disappeared, and when he reappeared, he also popped out a millimeter of light.

"I'll get back to you in a week."

After receiving the spatial coordinates of Black Dragon Mountain, Cleveland no longer stayed, and left after making an agreement.

Otis also turned back to the temple and sent for Herman and Valk. Half a year's work has to be completed in a week, and Rao is Otis is a realm wizard and it is also difficult to find it tricky.
