Chapter 418: The School's Poisoning (3767, to make up for the 1500 missing yesterday)
A three-story building in the city of Albery.
"The Glorious Herald of the Temple of Light?" Fang Yu looked at the information appearing in the magic network monitoring system with great interest. The information of more than 30 extraordinary people of the Church of Light was clearly visible.
"Yes! Master!" Yuzu flew up and down like a bee, with red light flashing on her body, obviously extremely excited.
"You come with bad intentions." Fang Yu touched his chin.
Yuzu chimed in: "You are the one who came."
Fang Yu looked at Youzi speechlessly.
The influence of this movie is really quite profound. It has been almost six years since it was released. I was only in the third year of junior high school then, and now I am a junior in college when school starts, and some people are still talking about these memes.
"Master, do you want to just kill them... hehehe..." Youzi's whole body was glowing red and she laughed evilly. After cosplaying Master Tang, she started cosplaying the butler Hu Qian.
Before he could finish laughing, Fang Yu slapped him.
"It's so hard to learn good things, but it's so easy to learn bad things. Starting tomorrow, all TVs and iPads will be turned on youth mode. You are not allowed to turn it off without my permission. Do you understand?"
It is imperative to implement a rating system for cultural content such as movies, TV shows, and novels!
Look at how innocent a child Yuzu was before, and what has she become now?
Fang Yu snorted, ignoring Yuzi's screams, turned around and used the Core of Eselon to communicate with the wealth system, and gave Flavis an oracle in the name of Archangel Yorz.
"Master, don't you plan to destroy this Temple of Light?" After hearing the content of the oracle, Yuzu couldn't help but wonder.
The master has changed his gender...Ah no no no, master, I was wrong, the master has changed his gender?
Judging from the dog owner's personality, even if the Temple of Light didn't come to cause trouble, he would probably find an excuse to destroy the Temple of Light. What's the meaning of showing goodwill to the Temple of Light now?
Show weakness to the enemy?
"Why destroy the Temple of Light?" Fang Yu was puzzled. "The six great temples have played an indispensable role in the main plane's relative stability, the people's livelihood, and the fact that social classes haven't become rigid."
"I've told you to watch less of those meaningless, crappy movies. In those movies and TV shows, they always like to use the good guys from the right family as villains, highlighting a twist and forcing dramatic conflict."
"You've learned a lot about this past ten thousand years. Needless to say, life was miserable for ordinary people during the New Barbarism, before the six great temples were established. Even compared to the Blue Planet's Middle Ages and Renaissance, the six great temples of the gods did quite a bit. At least they did a lot for the common people."
Pink stars appeared on Yuzi's body, and she was actually a little moved by what Fang Yu said.
I really didn't expect that my master, who usually seems unscrupulous, can be quite objective at critical moments.
"Besides." Fang Yu paused and chuckled, "We are businessmen. Businessmen do business with anyone. These orderly and kind-hearted fools are the easiest to deceive. No, they are the best partners. With them, the time it takes for us to become the Nowen Continent's No. 1 Reserve will definitely be greatly shortened."
——
Thanks to the Temple of Wealth's relentless investment, within eight months, Elbery, with construction sites everywhere, had begun to take shape.
The Temple of Wealth spent a full five hundred thousand gold dukes just to hire an architectural priest from the temple of Kelbras, the god of architecture.
Two fifth-level priests who can cast three-ring divine spells, ten fourth-level and third-level priests, thirty first-level and second-level priests, and nearly a hundred priest attendants who can cast zero-ring earth shaping spells twice a day provide endless divine support for the construction of the new Temple of Wealth.
In addition to the cooperation of priests from many temples, such as the Temple of the God of Gardening, the Temple of Water, the Temple of Fire, the Temple of Growth..., the New Temple of Wealth has not yet been fully built, but nearly one million gold dukes have been spent on divine services.
More than three hundred priests of the God of Wealth were also lost.
It was not a safety accident, but a failure of the project, and he was directly deprived of his pastoral qualifications by the wealth system.
With almost unlimited divine support, the construction of Elbery is even faster than some construction sites on Blue Star.
After all, there aren't as many safety checks and regulatory permits here.
Now that the priests of these subordinate gods, such as the God of Architecture, the God of Gardening, and the God of Guarding, have arrived in Elbery, in addition to their work at the Temple of Wealth, they will naturally take on some private jobs.
After all, if the daily magic slots are not used up, it would be a waste. It would be better to exchange them for some Golden Duke or Star Diamond.
I have to say that the quality of Wanfang Trading Company's star diamonds is really good. Whether used for sacrifice to gods or as materials for divine arts, the effect is better than star diamonds from other places. I don't know where they got them from.
In this way, the buildings of other nobles and merchants who invested in Elbery also received relatively cheap divine support.
On the twenty square kilometers of land in Elbery, a new city is rising at an astonishing speed!
The construction speed is comparable to that of the capital of Luwak - the "City of the Sun" Pris!
Three thousand five hundred years ago, Henry XV, then King of Loire, was recognized by the three major temples of Life, Light, and War and crowned the Emperor of the Empire.
In order to welcome the coronation of Henry XV, Loirek specially built a new capital in the central region. This capital is the "City of the Sun" - Pris, which is still the capital of Loirek today.
According to records, this capital city, which could accommodate a million people, was basically completed in less than a year and a half with the support of the three main temples and more than a dozen temples of subordinate gods.
After nearly a hundred years of detailed renovations, it has been the leading city in the Norwen continent for a thousand years.
Even when the Sarai Empire was at its peak 1,800 years ago, it had never conquered the first capital of the Norwen Continent. It took a ten-year siege to force the Luwaks to surrender.
The construction speed of Elbery is similar to that of Pris, and the infrastructure construction seems to be more sound than that of Pris.
For example, the drainage system here.
Unlike the open channels in Pris, an underground drainage system was used here. There were no ditches in the middle of the road, but rather culverts. The culverts were dug out under the road using soil plasticity and then reinforced. The sewage from the entire city did not seem to be discharged into Lake Lusen and nearby rivers, and no one knew where it flowed.
This alone makes it much better than the stinking Priss.
All the roads in the city are paved with bluestone. The bluestone is not smooth, but very flat.
The buildings on the roadside were even stranger. There was a building under construction that was actually made of mud poured into a wooden box surrounded by wooden boards, and in the middle of the box, there were several threaded iron bars inserted.
What kind of construction technology is this?
Compared to the magnificent "City of the Sun" and the majestic St. Egmond, Elberg seems a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
What's strange about that?
Cecil Solas stroked his mustache.
"Your Excellency, Holy Master, is that so-called Druid Lord here crazy? There are no city walls here?"
Knight Commander Sevien, also riding a tall horse, laughed heartily, pointing his whip at the city in front of him. "It's just a bunch of slickers! We don't even need to do anything. Just a team of Kingdom Knights will flatten this place!"
"It's rare that these rats still have the self-awareness to realize that even if they build a wall, they can't stop the enemy. Hahahahaha."
That’s right!
No city walls!
Cecil Solas suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he always felt that this city was a little strange.
There is not a single walled castle in the entire city; it seems to consist entirely of castle towns!
Is it because we haven’t had time to build the city yet?
But looking at the layout plan, there is no place to build a castle.
Besides, that should be the location of the Temple of Wealth in the distance, right? The Temple of Wealth doesn't have walls either?
Aren’t they afraid of the bandits?
Cecil Solas thought about it and decided to go see Flavius Venatto, the acting Pope of the Temple of Wealth first.
However, after meeting with Acting Pope Flavius, he still had to meet this so-called "Druid Lord" to see who he was.
A group of people urged their horses and just as they entered the central avenue of Elbery, which was thirty meters wide, they were stopped by two patrolmen blowing sharp whistles.
A cold light flashed in Savien's eyes, and his hand couldn't help but press on the hilt of the sword.
The twenty Templar Knights behind him also entered a state of alert.
They did not hide their identities at all. From their appearance and attire, it could be seen that they were high priests and Templars of the Temple of Light.
"My Lords, livestock entering the city must be accompanied by manure bags. Alternatively, you can leave your livestock at the livestock yard outside the city and take our public carriage. It only costs 20 copper denarii to travel throughout the city."
A patrolman who looked like he had pockmarks all over his face saluted and bowed to Cecil and the others.
Poop bag?
Cecil Solas and Sevian looked at each other, then looked at the smooth road surface, and then they realized that there was not even a trace of livestock manure on the road!
It is winter now, and the smell on the road is not that strong compared to other seasons. Therefore, when I first entered the city, I didn’t notice that there was no smell of shit in this city!
In fact, it still smells like shit, but they are used to smelling worse things, and their noses have long been accustomed to it.
All the livestock entering the city, whether they were ox carts pulling goods or horse carts, had a huge dung bag hanging behind the animal's skin drum. Occasionally, one or two pieces of dung would be discharged from the livestock dung trough and automatically fall into the dung bag. They would not fall to the ground, nor would they be stepped on by other vehicles and pedestrians, making the road stink.
Some people simply drove the livestock to the large fence nearby and handed them over to the manager inside the fence, while they got on a public carriage that could accommodate at least twelve people.
What does this mean? Just to keep livestock manure out of the city?
Isn't the "lord" here a druid? Druids advocate nature, the coexistence of humans and animals, and even dislike cities. Why would they care about these things?
Looking at the patrolmen again, although they appeared respectful and polite on the surface, contempt could still be seen in their eyes.
It's like looking at a poor, ignorant country boy.
Knight Commander Sevian was furious. He grasped the hilt of his sword and wanted to draw his sword right then and there to take down this ignorant civilian who was blaspheming God's servant.
"Please be patient." Cecil stopped Sevian thoughtfully and turned to ask the patrolman, "We are priests from the Temple of Light, here to visit His Majesty Flavius and the local lord. Where is your captain? Ask him to take us there."
Just as Cecil finished speaking, he felt a strong gust of wind and two sharp whistles coming from above his head.
"KREEE!!!"
"Oh no! Holy Master, get down quickly!" Knight Commander Sevian reacted quickly and immediately jumped off the horse, pulling Cecil off the horse as well.
The others who didn't have time to dismount were all thrown off their horses in the strong wind.
Many horses' front legs went limp and they fell to the ground and defecated.
"Griffin!" Knight Commander Sevian's face turned pale and he looked up at the sky.
A feather slowly fell from the sky.
Two griffins were seen chasing and playing in the air a hundred meters above. Just now, the airflow caused by the two griffins' swooping down blew everyone to the ground.
Judging from their size, these two griffins are not yet fully grown, but they should have the strength of a level five transcendent being or above. Their beaks and claws reflect a faint cold light in the winter sun, and are obviously extremely sharp.
The griffin's talent for "wind control" makes them the undoubted kings of the sky in the Norwen continent. Even a level 9 archbishop of the Church of Light will suffer some losses when facing such extraordinary creatures if he is unprepared, even if he wins.
He might even be seriously injured.
It can be said that among this group of people, only the seventh-level priest Cecil could escape from the claws of these two griffins if he was prepared.
Fortunately, the griffin population is small and its reproductive capacity is not strong. Most of them live in deep mountains and do not like to be too close to human settlements.
How did this thing get here!?
"Shishi, Yanyan, stop making trouble! Come back!"
A low voice like thunder came from the air. The two griffins shuddered obviously when they heard the voice and flew obediently towards the north of the city.
"Excuse me for frightening you, my lords. These two griffins were raised by Lord Gis and are his pets," said a middle-aged man who had just arrived. He smiled respectfully, "I am Lyle Marcus, Captain of the Alberi Security Team. I am delighted to serve you, my lords, of the Temple of Light."
After saying that, Marcus clapped his hands, and two patrolmen ran over with two trays.
There were two civilized hats on the tray.
"On behalf of Lord Fangis, I warmly welcome the Temple of Light to Albery. This is a small gift from Lord Fangis, a token of my respect."
