185 The New Church

The church was a must for the manor, with priority taking precedence over the mill and the blacksmith's shop.

It's not a hassle to build a church, it's a hassle to have a set of explanations.

In keeping with the dogma of the Ravenfeather Prophet.

Lawrence sorted out what he had told others before.

A few have been said so far:

Marriage between close relatives is not allowed, and marriage in the manor needs to be blessed by God and allowed by the lord of the manor (Ravenfeather Prophet).

God knows everything

God does not punish or help anyone, believe it or not.

Lawrence thought about it and decided to revise it.

God will certainly take more care of his followers, but it is only to convey it to God's spokesman, the Raven Feather Prophet.

It is up to the human Raven Feather Prophet to guide people to salvation.

"It doesn't have to be that complicated at first, right? Just add it later. ”

Lawrence quickly had a rough idea.

I don't want to pretend to be a prophet, but I can't do that.

If not, it will be overthrown by a group of ignorant savages.

Compared with the wild way of using human sacrifice, formalization and guided church is also a kind of progress and civilization.

Lawrence called the three nuns.

"I believe in the god of the stars of nature, harmony, civilization, fraternity, family and marriage, wisdom and strength, Lord of the Stars, do you want to continue to believe in the God of Dawn, or do you want to follow me to join the Church of the Lord of the Stars?"

The three nuns thought it was a matter of work, but they didn't expect to hear about a matter of faith related to lifelong events.

Colin quickly shouted, "I will not betray my faith, my ancestors, my grandparents, my mother and I are all believers in the Lord of the Dawn!" ”

Lawrence already knew about this woman, "Your mother is the bride of the God of Dawn, why can she still give birth to you?" She gave birth to you with a man, and you also think about hooking up with a noble man all day long, I don't think you have a deep faith. ”

Colin looked ashamed, but said firmly: "I will never waver!" ”

"Then you will continue to insist, and you will no longer be my maid in the future." Lawrence said calmly, "You are a slave, you were a slave in the beginning, and you are still a slave until your god rescues you. ”

"From now on, your job is to be like those women, farming, washing clothes, pulling weeds, gathering fruits, collecting firewood, carrying wood, and kneading hemp rope!"

Navia looked at the pale Colin, and after a difficult hesitation, said cautiously: "The convent is gone, and I am no longer a nun... I would like to join the Church of the Lords of the Stars. ”

Lawrence was satisfied, "Yes, I will build a monastery, and you will be the abbot there." ”

Navia's eyes widened, she never thought there would be such a reward.

Monastery...... Dean?

Colin shouted a reprimand: "No! She doesn't deserve it! ”

Colin was stimulated and shouted loudly: "The dean can only be held by nobles of noble blood, Navia is not worthy!" She doesn't deserve it!! ”

Hearing that Navia was going to be the abbot was worse than killing Colin.

Lawrence looked impatiently at the loud-voiced woman, and said to Bull and Emma, who were standing aside:

"Get her out to work, and don't make noise to the children in the house!"

Emma and Bull approached Collin, who was mentally unsanctuated, and quickly pushed Colin out from left to right.

Lawrence looked at Brillier, "Why does Colin look so anxious?" ”

"She was hell-bent on being the abbot's successor, and she was very showy when she was in the convent. ”

Lawrence nodded, "You can help Navia with you, just like when you were with the Abbey, but with a god who takes less care of things." ”

Brielier was embarrassed, but very boldly asked, "Do you also want to be the bride of God?" ”

Lawrence thought for a moment, "No, except for those who want to be saints, the rest of the nuns can choose to quit at any time and change from servants of God to people of God." ”

"God's servants, like me, will rule and guide the rest in God's place."

"God's people don't need to follow so many rules, and if you don't want to be a nun in the future, you can go back to your hometown with a rich dowry to buy an estate and marry."

Brielier asked very concernedly, "But I have not given God a dowry, and I have no money, no land, and no other things of value. ”

Lawrence smiled, "It's okay, God is merciful and will not forget your contributions, you just need to assist me in preaching the greatness of the Lord of the Stars now." ”

"The lord of the stars is the sun, the moon and the stars, and you can see its divine power when you look up."

If you are not convinced, just vent to the sun, moon and stars.

Lawrence adds, "When someone makes a mistake, or is about to make a mistake, God will put me in charge of guiding everyone, and there will be crows flying to the sun and the stars to convey God's will." ”

Navia and Brielier quickly accepted Lawrence's arguments and joined the newly established Church of the Lords of the Stars.

The Church of the Lord of the Stars, in addition to the prophet Lawrence, has three Valkyries and a Holy Maiden.

Sophia had no strength and couldn't fight, so she could only arrange the name of the saint.

Since it is a local church, it must conform to the local thinking, fight valiantly with the Valkyries, and after death, ascend to Valhalla and shine with the stars in the sky.

The main purpose of the church's existence is to unite the majority of people and keep warm.

This is the most basic need! As important as evading responsibility and preventing assassination!

Lawrence did not forget his own needs, and with the aim of uniting the loose group of more than 100 people, the Bhumesians, the Kurs, the Dums, the Snowbergers, the Ugers, and the Clogas were integrated into a single collective.

Slaves and freemen, stewards and nobles, all go to church, and when everyone prays together in the church, they are also God's people, and everyone is equal.

The church is a subtle effect, Lawrence while tearing down the stone house to build the church in the best place, while leading everyone to open up the wasteland and farm, research more suitable for ploughing and harness suitable for cattle and sheep.

Lawrence traded wine and sheep for the blacksmith's cooperation, and the blacksmith promised to build some farming tools for Lawrence.

On the way back, Delenn asked, "Why don't you just let him do things for us?" Let him be a slave. ”

Lawrence explains: "That's too expensive to manage, and it's good to do it now." ”

"Is that hard?" Delenn didn't believe it, "We have so many slaves, and we are very obedient. ”

Lawrence smiled, "That's because I didn't treat them like slaves, and many places don't give slaves much to eat, and I don't let slaves pick up iron tools to work." ”

"Because everyone knew that it would give the slaves a chance to resist, they would rather do less than give the slaves useful farm tools."

"If we force the blacksmith to do things for us, you'll find that managing this man requires at least three or more people watching him, and there are many things that cannot be left to him with confidence."

Delenn nodded, "It's too complicated. ”

Lawrence also felt that it was complicated for Delen and these people, "He will definitely get sick, and he will have other needs, so he will naturally trade with us when the time comes, and the sheep we give him, he will send them back when the time comes." ”

Delenn asked, "What about the wine?" ”

"Forget about drinking, he knows I don't drink." Lawrence continued on his way, giving up on the idea of continuing to explain.

Delenn followed up and said, "What's next?" ”

Lawrence said: "Continue to build houses, there is still a big shortage of food. ”

Delenn frowned, "I have to worry about this every day, it's too poor here." ”

The people of Clauda don't need to worry about food all day.

But Delenn is just talking about it, and she also knows which one is richer and which one is poorer.

"If Andrew asks you to rob, won't you go?" Delenn asked, "That would get more slaves." ”

"No, no." Lawrence insisted: "We are not robbers, but messengers of justice, people who save slaves, not slave hunters." ”

The men of the Bhumishu are dying, and now the war-weariness is high, which is completely different from last year.

Last year, everyone had no food, no clothing, and they could make a fortune by robbing, so the whole people were enthusiastic.

Now if you go to rob again, then you have to send children and women, and whoever responds to the call for robbery at this time will be everyone's enemy!

The ebb of barbarism is civilization.
