The senior executives of various chambers of commerce who made the decision about this Sandy Tourist Area had only a partial understanding of it, but the actual situation was still unclear.
Some astute businessmen sensed the potential of the magic crystals.
In any case, it is necessary to send someone to investigate and find out what's going on. Besides, Sandy Territory has to give its partners face because of the cooperation on dwarf weapons, potions, etc.
Various chambers of commerce sent representatives, the difference being the number of members they sent...
Several days later, residents of some cities, including Sandy City itself, finally came to visit the tourist attractions.
Sandy Central Park, which features a spectacles show, is actually one of the attractions, but local residents naturally go there to see the properties in the scenic area.
Rumor has it that some hotels in scenic areas have more lenient check-in requirements, so you might want to stock up on magic crystals. ∠(′д｀)
Among them, the Gotha Chamber of Commerce is the closest to Sandi Territory, and this chamber of commerce has members who are permanently stationed in Sandi Territory.
Upon receiving orders from the headquarters of the Far East Chamber of Commerce, the branch manager, Mike, personally went to the location.
I've known for a long time that the lord's mansion in the city is undergoing a major construction project, and some strange buildings have been built in the wilderness. I've been wanting to go and see it for a while now. Oh, I should bring the merchant guild certificate; it should be helpful.
...
Merchants and commoners became the first visitors to the scenic area. Nobles and other social classes had not yet come to see it. Ron looked at the documents presented to him in the lord's mansion.
Several days have passed, and before the chamber of commerce personnel even arrived, ordinary people had already visited the scenic area's accommodations.
The overall income from magic crystals is decent; I think we should try to attract the nobility.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Ron decreed that one of the scenic areas, the one inhabited by elves, would be open to only nobles for the time being.
There was no other way; upon hearing that commoners and others were going together, the arrogant nobles were not easily fooled.
However, since they're coming a second time, we'll open the last scenic area then, and everyone can visit all the scenic areas.
The aristocracy has been here before, and those who are interested will naturally set aside some of their arrogance and come again.
If all else fails, Ron thought about it and decided he couldn't be bothered to earn any more magic crystals from the nobles.
After the decree was issued, the elf Triss and her companions enjoyed a long period of peace. ＜(?????)＞
After finishing his official business, Ron, who was in the study, said, "Rita, Vivian, and little Rita, come with me to see the cult!"
"Yes, young master."
"Yes, my lord." Rita is getting more and more fluent in calling him "lord" these days.
Ron felt embarrassed and had been taking Rita out less often lately.
However, Rita the angel was a homebody when she was in the divine kingdom, and she felt uncomfortable going out, which is one of the reasons.
After a quick tidy-up, I headed out.
It was afternoon, and the weather was alright today.
It's neither hot nor cold.
As autumn arrives, some of the trees in the city's greenery have turned red, and beneath them stand sanitation workers responsible for cleaning the city.
Walking through the streets of Sandy City, Ron noticed that quite a few out-of-towners had arrived at this time.
No nobles were seen, but Ron believed they would arrive sooner or later, though they would be a little late.
Ron was dressed in ordinary clothes, and the others, seeing that he was a nobleman, kept a safe distance.
The residents of the city, after exchanging a few pleasantries, went about their own business.
Ron's rewards and punishments finally spread throughout the territory, and the stewards even taught some of the people new etiquette.
Simply put, it's because of our long-standing civilization; we have many traditions and customs. o(^▽^)o
Like the various civilized nations of the past, and in this era, some kingdoms and even empires have existed for tens of thousands of years.
Ron and his group passed through the neighborhood; by the way, Arno, the great swordsman guard, was with them.
Arno usually keeps up on his own these days. The Tulip Merchant Guild has mentioned whether it's necessary to change the guards, or to have Ron replaced with a Master-level guard from their own territory, but both Arno and Ron have remained as they are.
Uncle Arno gradually came to believe that he had to protect Ron, for various reasons.
A guard, a maid, and a little creature on Rita's shoulder.
This...this is a little elf!
Few could tell she was a little imp.
What kind of noble family is this, so ostentatious and extravagant?
"Hey, you're from out of town, don't stare, that's rude of you."
"May I ask, what is this?"
"That's our great lord! Don't be so surprised! You know, that's a fairy, from the Sandy Auction that day..."
"..."
After walking for a short while, Ron could vaguely hear someone boasting in the distance.
The main character is this lord.
Let's skip over the proud words of the leaders.
In this world, a powerful lord is a guarantee of safety...
Just knowing is enough.
As he traveled, observing the daily lives of his people, Ron felt greatly gratified.
My hometown is getting better little by little, and I guess I've done something worthwhile during my leisure time.
Before he knew it, Ron had arrived at the cult.
The church's construction incorporated Ron's previous understanding, resulting in a solemn and imposing facade.
Entering the inner hall, one finds it spacious and grand.
It may not be as grand as the real Kingdom of God I had imagined, but this is what a church should be like on earth, and it is enough for believers to accept it.
In the plaza-sized hall, believers of all kinds were praying, and the magic patterns on the walls and floor inside the church shimmered faintly.
The priests of the Church of the Goddess of Music finally arrived.
At first glance, there were about a dozen people, including Linda, who was favored by God. There was also a priest in the Singer's Squad. It is worth noting that the women in the Singer's Squad usually wear veils in public, but inside the church, the women took off their veils.
Perhaps it is out of respect for the true God.
Well, Linda is still very beautiful, surprisingly with a more Eastern look, and unusually, she has brown hair and black eyes.
Ron felt a sense of familiarity at first glance.
Perhaps because of the close face, Ron thought about other things.
Linda, on the contrary, smiled faintly. ヾ(⌒?⌒*)
"pope……"
Oh, and I'm sorry for being so rude. How come you've been looking at me for so long? I wasn't this rude, not even when I was facing the angels of God's kingdom!
"Ahem... You can get up now! By the way, Linda, I didn't ask before, where are you from?"
“Your Holiness, I come from the Balen Empire on the eastern continent.”
"The sanctuary of swordsmen, then Linda, you sing so well, you wouldn't happen to be a swordsman too, would you!"
"I have little understanding of the way of the sword."
"..."
Alright, what do you mean by "a little enlightenment"? People from an empire with a history of ten thousand years know how to talk. Ron will just assume Linda's swordsmanship is exceptional; otherwise, Linda would have simply said she couldn't.
It really does have the feel of the ancient Chinese doctrine of the mean. Don't be fooled by claims of it being a "humble work".
Those favored by the gods are never simple.
Ron led the way, followed by a large group of people.
Ron and his group went to the back of the temple.
The people praying in the hall then began to discuss the matter.
"Was that His Holiness the Pope just now?"
"So young!"
"Or maybe he just passed his coming-of-age ceremony!"
"This, how could the goddess..."
"What are you saying!"
"I dare not, for the goddess possesses divine guidance, and her wisdom is as deep as the abyss..."
"..."
Because of the testimony of those favored by God, regardless of Ron's outward appearance, the believers recognized Ron as Pope. This is also a benefit of the Pope; God is everything.
Inside the inner hall, there is a special place for discussion. Here, people no longer need to face the huge goddess sculpture in the main hall. Here, people can talk about things in peace. God will help them protect all secrets. Of course, God's gaze may be present at any time.
Ron had only been seated in the main seat for a short while when the nun presented him with three sets of clothes in both hands.
Pope's robes.
It's alright to look at.
With a glance, Vivian accepted the clothes.
Ron said, "Let's leave it for now."
He turned to the crowd below and said, "This Pope is going to expand the religion. What are your thoughts?"
