Chapter 447: This Slap in the Face Hurts a Bit

The Holy See of Light.

All the clergy know that Pope Jesolini XXIII has been in a very good mood these days - everyone can tell it from the uncontrollable smile on his face.

Because the Holy See has lost an artifact for nearly a hundred years, the Holy Book of Blessings of Jabilni has been recovered by Saint Iluli!

Unfortunately the timing was not right.

Jesolini has often lamented recently, how wonderful it would be if this great thing happened before the Glorious Festival? They can take advantage of the Glorious Festival to write about this matter in a big way, and take the opportunity to expand the influence and appeal of the Holy See of Light.

"His Majesty the Pope."

Iluli came to the Pope and bowed on her knees.

The pope said kindly: "Eluli, there is no need to be polite. You are a saint, and your actual status is the same as mine. Not to mention that you are now a great contributor to our Holy See of Light."

Iluli smiled bitterly and said: "I am not a hero. This artifact was taken back by Lord...Lord Tang En and returned to us."

"Of course we have to accept Lord Tang En's kindness, but since you are a saint, you should understand the importance of publicity."

The Pope said patiently: "You also know how difficult it is to compete with several other Holy Sees for believers. The Earth Goddess Church is mainly concentrated on the elves and dwarves. Not to mention, the Wind God Holy See relies on the wind and the guardian god Icardis. He is the patron saint of merchants and knights. He makes a lot of money every year. Each of their chapels is more ornate than the last, and every charity event is generous. What about us? How many years has this chapel been used? "

Iluli opened her mouth, not embarrassed to speak out.

"Not only that, almost all the coast of the Shining Coast is the territory of Anita Lyle, the god of water and life. The Water Goddess Cult almost monopolizes the shipping routes. Sailors and captains all believe in the Water Goddess."

"The god of fire and war, Kaloma River, is the creator of the orcs. The Holy See of Vulcan is not only the only belief of the Ren Empire, but also the belief of many human warriors and even officers."

"I won't talk about Dragon God, as well as other sects of middle gods and lower gods. But compared with the other four upper gods, in fact, the status of our Holy See of Light has always been in danger."

The Pope said earnestly: "Although we are still the mainstream faith in human society, in fact we have almost been overtaken by it, so we must try our best to build momentum, expand believers, and even steal other believers when necessary! "

The Pope clenched his fist fiercely: "The number of believers is related to my performance evaluation after returning to the Kingdom of God. If the face of the great God of Light is tarnished, I'm afraid I won't be able to live a good life!"

Iluli wanted to tell the Pope that gods don’t care about the number of believers, and don’t always use human thinking to judge a god, but seeing the fanatical expression on the Pope’s face, Iluli closed her mouth again .

He is in high spirits right now, so I'm afraid he won't be able to listen to anything he says.

After finally waiting for the Pope to finish describing the glorious future, Iluli had a chance to speak: "His Majesty the Pope, I must remind you of something. In return for taking back the artifact, I have promised the Lord...Twain Lord, our Holy See of Light will help him investigate the information about the Snake of Darkness, but we have been back for so long and we still don’t have any information."

"Don't worry, Leon has almost recovered, and the Templar Knights are ready to go at any time."

His Majesty the Pope said a little helplessly: "Besides, the snake of darkness has been dormant for so many years, how can it be discovered so easily, so this matter cannot be rushed."

A knight hurriedly ran over: "His Majesty the Pope! The trainee priest in Quilin Town found traces of cultists in the town, suspected to be members of the Serpent of Darkness!"

pope:"……"

Yiluli: "..."

This slap in the face is a bit harsh...

The Pope straightened his face, waved his hand, and said: "The Knights Templar will dispatch immediately, led by the deputy captain. They must block the passage to Quilin Town and try to capture the cultists alive. We need information!"

"yes!"

Just when the entire Ilrus Empire was undergoing some subtle changes because of Tang En, he himself didn't feel it at all. After coming out of the research institute, he wandered around to check the progress of the greenhouse. , and went to Datang Publishing House to chat with Dantelian and the others for a while, and brought them some new inspiration - in the winter when entertainment methods are lacking, Datang Publishing House's novels and comics have become a way for many people to spend their time. A must-have item for the day.

Now their novels and comics have even spread rapidly to the surrounding towns through Yalinks, and have also been taken to other countries by traveling merchants, becoming one of Ellington's famous specialties.

Seeing that spiritual entertainment culture was so popular, Tang En slapped his forehead and then thought of a good idea. Just as he was about to go home in a hurry, he bumped into Ai Zhuo Kamanda.

Tang En's anus tightened subconsciously, and he stopped: "Good afternoon, Your Excellency Ai Zhuo Kamanda."

Azhu Kamanda saw Tang En's eyes light up and showed a bright smile: "Good afternoon, Your Excellency Lord."

At this time, Tang En noticed that Ai Zhuo Kamanda's face was a little pale, and he asked in great surprise: "Your face looks very bad. Have you encountered any trouble?"

Azraokamanda said nonchalantly: "No, I just didn't sleep well last night."

A red dragon would look so pale if he didn't sleep well?

Isn’t this lying with your eyes open?

"Lord, if...I mean if one day, you will face very powerful enemies, they are not invading your territory, but want to destroy everything, what will you do?"

Tang En was startled: "Chaos invasion?"

Could this red dragon be an insider?

Azraokamanda was also stunned: "Chaos invasion? Of course not. They have been repelled and will not appear again for at least a few hundred years. I am just giving an example."

Tang En curled his lips: "What's the point? Since they want to destroy everything, of course that includes me. If I don't resist, will I wait to die?"

"Choose to resist? Not bad."

After leaving behind an incomprehensible word, Ai Zhuo Kamanda wandered away.

Tang En looked at his back and intuitively told him that the red dragon was in a very bad condition.

But... why?

Just a few days have passed, and the cold weather has not changed at all, but the construction of Ellington is in full swing. The originally dilapidated and backward town has now completed leapfrog development, and regular asphalt roads will The entire town is neatly divided, and every household is built strictly according to the plan. The large amount of light crystals and fluorescent grass introduced makes the nights in Ellington extremely bright, giving people more leisure time.

The neat sewage drainage channels and rainwater drainage channels on the roadside have clear division of labor. Trash cans and public toilets can be seen everywhere, which greatly reduces the pollution problem in public places. Every wind element cleaner cleans the road meticulously, removing any dust and debris. They will all be rolled up and blown into the trash can.

Very beautiful and fashionable flower beds were built in the streets and alleys. Public seats were available for pedestrians to rest at will. Bicycles and horse-drawn carriages traveled on the roads. Tang En used the power of magic and engineering to restore the advanced urban planning of the Earth to his impression. , if the buildings here were not still full of the local characteristics of Purandar, this place would be almost the same as a modern city on the earth.

Red flowers and green willows decorate this peculiar city, and pedestrians passing by all have happy smiles on their faces. If there were a selection, Ellington would definitely be selected as the city with the highest happiness index among residents.

Although it is winter, the residents never feel cold because there is floor heating everywhere, and the warm greetings from neighbors always warm people's hearts.

In this winter, they can still have enough food and clothing. The only drawback that everyone feels is that although there is an abundance of bread, bacon and canned fruits to eat in winter, fresh vegetables still have to wait until spring.

But this morning, Ellington residents who went to buy vegetables suddenly found a surprise.

The owner of the fruit and vegetable shop shouted loudly: "Come and take a look! The greenhouse built by the lord is a specialty of kohlrabi!"

"It's actually kohlrabi!? Isn't this a vegetable that can only be grown in spring and summer?"

The owner of the fruit and vegetable shop said proudly: "Although I don't know what the principle is, the craftsmen hired by the lord said that this is because the spring and summer climate is simulated in the greenhouse, so the vegetable seeds are deceived. It just grew.”

Some housewives were amazed: "You can actually do such a thing as deceiving vegetable seeds!? The lord must be the son of God!"

The owner of the fruit and vegetable shop laughed loudly and said: "I don't know if he is the Son of God, but I know that thanks to the lord, we will not starve to death and freeze to death, and we can eat such fresh and tender vegetables in such a cold winter. "

"Yes, this is a miracle displayed by the lord. I must buy some! How can the boss sell it?"

"Four coppers each."

"Four copper coins!? So cheap!?"

Even if kohlrabi is grown in spring and summer, it might cost two coppers a piece, but now it’s grown in the middle of winter and it’s so cheap?

"That's what I told the lord, but the lord said that everyone should be able to afford vegetables in winter."

The words of the fruit and vegetable shop owner shocked everyone again, and they queued up to buy greenhouse vegetables in an orderly manner.

When this incident reached the ears of Fiona and Tang En, it caused a lot of laughter.

Fiona smiled and said, "It's a wonder that I'm still grateful to you even though the price has doubled."

Tang En shrugged: "Because things are rare and valuable, there are no vegetables to eat in winter, so I let them eat them. This kind of treatment is not even available to the nobles of Yalinx, and the price is only a few copper coins. Of course they are excited, there is not much money to be made from vegetables.”

Having said this, Tang En smiled slightly, looked at Fiona and said, "Speaking of which, do you still remember the bet we made before?"
