Chapter 119 The Theocratic State



Hearing what Clara said, Heidi quickly got up, and the two younger elves came together to Trish's house in the mountain dwelling.

Triss roughly knew why they had come, and calmly said, "Let's go!"

As they continued their journey, the three elves met up with the rest of the human race at the entrance to the scenic area.

The humans were clearly more enthusiastic about the conversation than the elves; several guild members were talking about their new homes.

Although their accommodations in the scenic area were a bit remote, the views were still beautiful, making it a great place to stay. These guys boasted about it, while also expressing their gratitude to the lord of Sandy Territory. o(*^@^*)o

They traveled to Sandy City, where they all participated in the specific construction of the Magic Bow Guild, dedicated to developing a royal capital-level Magic Bow branch.

Anyone walking the streets of Sandy Lane would have this thought.

Having just moved to a new home, they immediately felt a sense of belonging and, not planning to move again, put all their efforts into planning.

...

On the other side, in addition to the Magic Archer Guild, various other professional guilds such as the Swordsman Guild, Mage Guild, and Alchemist Guild have also arrived in Sandy City.

Most of those sent to establish the new guilds were high-level elementalists, and large guilds such as the Swordsman Guild even had Grandmasters among them.

This is primarily to express respect for the legend of Will.

Everyone here is talented!

Several other rooms in the scenic area came in handy.

Three of these scenic spots are primarily known for the attractiveness of their inhabitants, while the latter three don't prioritize looks and instead focus on factors like overall quality and facilities.

The last three scenic area rooms are not judged by appearance, but high-level elemental professionals will evolve and improve their appearance to some extent, so they are not ugly, although it doesn't really matter if they are ugly.

They also thought they just wanted a place to work and agreed to all the conditions, such as future visits from tourists.

However, after only a few days in what was initially considered a work residence, I suddenly had the idea of ​​settling down there permanently...

Living conditions are one aspect, but they have also taken notice of Sandy City's development.

Perhaps relocating to Sandy Territory would be a good option.

For various reasons, Sandy Territory has once again entered a period of population growth.

The arrival of various guild branches would naturally attract adventurers from underdeveloped areas, and with guild staff moving their families along with them, the number of people would increase even further.

As the territory became increasingly lively, Ron had recently begun to feel a slight sense of accomplishment. ~ o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ

It's alright, it's in the plan.

There are two more scenic spots that are uninhabited, which will be left to the elves or other unique creatures. Hopefully, once the houses are built, they will be fully occupied. The fact that these scenic spots are uninhabited is also one of the characteristics of visiting them.

It's a pity there aren't enough illusion stones; otherwise, each scenic area could have different illusion shows, which would make the tourist experience even more enjoyable.

I'm thinking of waiting a while longer, and then having the various chambers of commerce promote the tourism.

As the construction of the two temples progressed, two religious groups from distant continents finally arrived.

The divine decree was issued, and none dared to disobey.

A new pope, Sandy Territory, church relocation...

The main members of the two churches include various clergy members such as the Order of the Holy Spirit, pastors, priests, nuns, etc.

That's not all; there were also devout believers, even fanatics, who actually moved here with them.

God truly exists; we simply follow in His footsteps.

It is evident that these believers were all wealthy families. The few fanatical believers who were poor were exceptions. Moving their entire families to unfamiliar places actually carried a great risk.

The two teams joined forces upon entering the Kingdom of Gil, and many of them were experts at the Master level.

The royal family was extremely nervous and immediately sent people to Sandy Territory to inquire about the situation of the Wel Legend.

The answer is the kingdom's two state religions!

The legend of Will is tantamount to letting the royal family make the decision.

When the Church of the Goddess of Music and the Church of the Water God settled in Sandy Territory, the kingdom issued a decree establishing the state religion of the Kingdom of Gil.

The neutral faction consists of the Church of the Goddess of Music and the Church of the Water God, two state religions that form the basis of the nation.

On the day the decree is issued, the gaze of the gods will fall upon the king. As a religious state, the king will inevitably receive divine blessings and may even be directly chosen as one of the gods' favorites.

Of course, being favored by the gods is not easy. On the continent, among the various kingdoms, duchies, and empires, kings who are favored by the gods are still a minority, which has little to do with royal power.

The Kingdom of Gil was originally a small country, supported by the legend of the Ville for thousands of years. No god had ever wanted to establish the main church in the Kingdom of Gil. In addition, the opinions of the Ville legend and the royal family were also a factor.

Before becoming a Christian nation, continental-level disasters such as the Undead Cataclysm weaken their ability to withstand risks, but they also do not need to participate in the holy wars in various missionary districts.

There are pros and cons!

Things are as they are now, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

Currently, the three major human empires, the orc empire, and other nations that can be called empires also have their own religions. It can be said that powerful religions have established their main churches within the empire's territory. There is also an elven pantheon in the Elf Forest...

The empire was divided into different kingdoms and polytheistic powers, so it could not be called a theocratic state. The royal empire had reached a delicate balance with the various churches.

On the continent, there is an unwritten rule, or perhaps a divine law, that the religion does not interfere with the governance of the kingdom; the religion is only responsible for proselytizing.

For thousands of years, various religions have never been hated by the people; any anger was directed at certain noble ruling classes.

The reason behind this is something that any discerning person can understand after a moment's thought.

Ron understood then that this was how the world worked, and he would only do what he was capable of.

The kingdom's decrees have been issued, so why are the gods of the two major religions focusing their attention on the Kingdom of Gil? This matter has attracted widespread attention across the continent.

Inside the lord's manor.

Ron felt helpless; now that things had come to this, all he could do was smile.

If you can hide it, then hide it; if you can't, then face it directly.

Issued a territorial proclamation: 'Sandy Territory, viscount lord, concurrently holding the position of pope of two major religions'

The various reasons should be explained directly to the powerful forces on the mainland, so as to avoid them sending out various scouts and spies. The terminology for scouts and spies on the mainland is slightly different. They are generally assassins and wanderers who are also elementalists!

This was also to prevent more of Ron's secrets from being revealed, such as his spatial talent and his reincarnated identity.

Inevitably, a few spies from various factions still managed to enter Sandy City.

However, they dared not enter the lord's mansion, mindful of the legend of Will...

By the time the scouts arrived in Sandy Territory, another month had passed. The major guilds had been established, the two major religions had been founded, and the clergy had moved in.

A lord's proclamation has been issued!

Sandy Tourist Area welcomes you.

The spies' documents were disseminated throughout the mainland.

Ron couldn't help but sigh, "Another saving on advertising costs!" *:??(?′?`)??:*

However, it is still necessary to ask the various chambers of commerce to help spread the word. The work of finding new scenic area properties is still ongoing. In fact, Ron has an ideal idea: people should have a residence in the city and another in the scenic area. That would be ideal!

When you get tired of living in the city, just relax in nature!

Unfortunately, ideals are just ideals. At this moment, Ron smiled and instructed Rita to write down the decree: "Members of all chambers of commerce who visit the Sandy Tourist Area this month will have their magic crystal fees reduced by 30%. In addition, those who promise to post notices for the Sandy Tourist Area will have their magic crystal fees reduced by half for one month!"
