Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 64:
Compared to the first-level combat readiness of the Masked Void Church, the Lord of Mysteries and his followers did not show any intention to fight, and seemed quite peaceful. Eat what you should eat, sleep where you should sleep, with the courage of "Let him be beaten by the wind and rain, I will stand still." It seems that the Masked Void Church and the secret alliances with Sui Xiong's various gods are completely ignored. in.
This makes Sui Xiong feel very complicated, not only the irritation of being underestimated, but also a little relaxation.
If you can avoid fighting, it's better not to fight!
Although everyone knows that the conflict between the two churches is inevitable, and the battle between the two deities is only a matter of time, but it can drag on for a day, and it will be a good day.
It’s like everyone knows that people are going to die sooner or later, but who would wipe their necks because of this young age?
Oh, really, crazy.
Sui Xiong is not insane, so he is not opposed to this temporary peace. On the contrary, he hoped that the peace before him could last longer.
It's not to be able to prepare well—even if the fight starts now, he doesn't think he has any lack of preparation, he just doesn't want to fight.
While holding on to the soldiers and not wanting to fight, the battle that everyone thought would be vigorous was postponed, and there was no movement for more than half a year.
On the contrary, it is another matter that has attracted the attention of many people.
The Church of the Goddess of Harvest and the Church of the God of Wealth are fighting.
Strictly speaking, this matter has something to do with Sui Xiong. To be precise, it has something to do with the high priest of his church.
During the revival of Gals City, as the Archon, Leon Igor has always carefully maintained a distance from the Church of the Harvest Goddess, and has been using various small actions to prevent the Church of the Harvest Goddess from being restored in Gals City. Influence. At the same time, he vigorously strengthened the connection with the Church of the God of Wealth and used official power, and the Church of the God of Wealth expanded its influence in Gals City.
The key reason for this is still money.
At the beginning, the city of Gals was completely in ruins after the war. To revive a city from this ruin, it would naturally take a huge amount of money. The amount of this amount of money is astonishingly large, even if the entire family of the Masked Void Church is included, it is only a drop in the bucket. In this case, Leon contacted the Church of the God of Wealth and exchanged the status of the official church in exchange for the strong support of the Church of the God of Wealth for the revival of Gals City.
The Church of the God of Wealth is considered to be one of the most substantial organizations on the main continent. Not to mention, it has a huge influence in the two countries of the Dhaka Merchant League and the Gold Coin Federation alone, even Occupy the mainstream of the upper class. However, in the Kingdom of Blue Moon, the Church of the God of Wealth has not been able to develop well. The **** of wealth himself and the priests of the church at all levels want to make a difference in the east of this continent.
The revival of Gals City is a rare opportunity for them!
So the Church of the God of Wealth not only put out a lot of money, but also sent a lot of elite fighters and priests to form a very luxurious team and stationed in Gals City.
In general, the cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant. Leon has a good grasp of the measure, allowing the Church of the God of Fortune to expand its influence smoothly without being taken over by them; and after a few trials, the Church of the God of Fortune found that there is no way to occupy this legendary legend. The knight's cheapness also killed the clerical power's mind to overwhelm the government, focusing on the influence of the people.
This cooperation has been further developed after the establishment of the Diplomatic and Commercial Complex in the Sea of Storms. The three parties took what they needed, and they all got a lot of benefits.
However, when someone laughed, others cried. The Church of the God of Wealth laughed, and it was the Church of the Goddess of Harvest to cry.
The city of Gals has an important position for the Church of the Goddess of Harvest. It used to be a place similar to the center of the church. Although because of that earth-shattering battle, the entire church center was wiped out, and churches in various places began to stand on their own, but in any case, its nominal status will not change.
Because of the Church of the God of Wealth, the influence of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest in Gals City and its surroundings has been declining, and the number of followers has been declining. In the worst case, it was even a time. Compared with the previous prosperity, the church’s top leaders Want to spit blood.
Of course they are angry, of course angry, of course resentful.
And the target of their resentment is the despicable Archon first-but the Archon is lonely, and believes in a big jellyfish who is as influential as him. They can't find any target for revenge.
So they logically put their resentment on the second goal, which is the Church of God of Wealth.
The two sides quarreled first, then quarreled, and then continued to have small frictions, and finally a fierce **** conflict broke out.
With this fight, the Church of the Goddess of Harvest suddenly suffered a loss.
Don’t forget, the high-level leaders of their church have died in that battle. Although there are still many masters, they do not want to contribute to the Gals church, or their ability is seriously biased.
In contrast, the Gals Church of the God of Wealth is one of a group of elites. There are only two legendary masters.
The two sides fought against each other several times, and the Harvest Goddess Church suffered a loss. Even the chief priest of the Gals City Church died in an "accident".
The goddess of harvest became angry immediately and sent down the oracle, ordering the churches to select the elites to go to Gals City to compete with the Church of the God of Wealth. Even if the teaching rights are not taken back, at least they must earn face.
However, he can send down oracles to select the elite, but can't the **** of wealth?
In order for the elites to reach Gals as soon as possible, the God of Wealth even specially visited Sui Xiong and gave a number of benefits, borrowing the portals of the Void Mask Church all over the mainland.
Not only that, the **** of wealth also ran to the **** of conspiracy and the tiger to seek skin, let the expert stabbing a knife in the back to help him cover up his supernatural reconnaissance.
So when the two parties officially started, facing the menacing Harvest Goddess Church elites, the Church of the God of Fortune stood up with a group of not only much more people than them, but much stronger strength than them, and even more luxurious equipment. To a perverted team that almost equips their teeth with fine gold braces.
In a fierce battle, the elites of the Church of the Harvest Goddess died, and even their souls were cut off by the God of Conspiracy-this was the harvest he had discussed with the God of Wealth at the beginning, but all those who died in this battle were harvested. Goddess believers, their souls belong to Him.
After this blow, the entire Church of the Harvest Goddess on the main plane was suddenly injured, and it didn't take 50 years to recover.
So, the harvest goddess finally couldn't help it.
So, the gold coin federation and the Dhaka Merchant League, this year’s crop harvest is simply a tragedy, while the surrounding countries are in good weather. One acre of land has been harvested by more than 30%, which is a big harvest beyond imagination. !
Although the God of Wealth scolded the Goddess of Harvest in the Pantheon, the Goddess of Harvest was very sloppy. She did not deliberately let the Gold Coin Federation and the Dhaka Merchant League fail, but only devoted a lot of power to the surrounding areas. , And even threw the share that the two countries should have to the neighboring countries.
So the famine happened.
Sui Xiong, the chef of the "Old Axe" tavern, or Sui Xiong mk4, the traverser, leaned against the heavy wooden door and looked sadly at the hungry people who were pleasing to the face.
These hungry people are almost all farmers. The harvest this year is not good, but there is no tax reduction for the nobles. After paying the tax, they can't even guarantee their rations.
In this case, they can only borrow from the merchant. However, most of the loans were rejected-the merchants were very cold and shrewd, and at a glance they could see that these farmers did not have much oil and water to squeeze, so that they would not waste even a copper on them!
Farmers who lack food sold almost everything they could sell in their homes, but they still couldn’t buy enough food. In this case, many peasants dragged their families to the cities and towns because they didn’t The Church of Little Good God will give food.
There is not much food that the Good God Church can give, and it can only be considered better than nothing for a huge group of hungry people. But for these poor people who are already impoverished, this is their last hope for survival.
Sui Xiong looked at all this melancholy. He could almost imagine what terrible things would happen when he waited until the end of winter and early spring. Although he studied art rather than history, the two of Zheng Xia in the Northern Song Dynasty and Jiang Zhaohe in the Republic of China The "Picture of Refugees" is a intensive event in the history of Chinese painting. If a painter from a professional class doesn't even know this, then he must be a parallel importer, or the most inferior one!
Sui Xiong is not considered to be an elite in the art world, but at any rate he has completed the entire university course in a serious manner. The scene of "Refugee Map"~IndoMTL.com~The corresponding records and stories all surfaced in his mind at this moment.
"Boss, can't we think of a way to do something for them?" He returned to the tavern dullly, and said to the boss, "If this continues, at most two months later, you will be hungry!"
The bearded boss sighed deeply and shook his head.
He is not hard-hearted, and he wants to do something for these poor people, but what can a small tavern do?
During this time, he has reduced the price of food to the cost price, and he has not made any money at all. Every day, the bread and so on are sold out as soon as they are out of the oven.
There is only this he can do.
"By the way, boss, aren't you from an adventurer? I remember you still have a very good crossbow, right?" Sui Xiong suddenly thought of something and asked.
The boss nodded, not understanding what he meant.
"Then lend me your crossbow, I will take a few strong people to hunt."
"You are crazy!" The boss was startled and cursed, "Everything in the forest belongs to the lord, and poaching is going to be hanged!"
"Hanging and starving are all deaths, is there a big difference?" Sui Xiong smiled sarcastically, "Anyway, you can't let them starve to death..."
