The crisp and rhythmic ringtone rang.

At the intersection at the end of the forest, there were 10 wooden poles nailed to the ground, each with a flat wheel on the top, with the rim and axle tied to it.

The wheels were also filled with crows and ravens, constantly pecking and tearing something.

Due to the height of the poles and the crowded bird flock, the bystanders could only guess what the illusory wreckage was.

It was a corpse, it could not be anything else, thought Kalena, the pastor of the Church of Mother Earth.

She raised her gloved hands and lifted the hood of the thick travel cloak. Her hair, which was as dark as her mount, was scattered on her shoulders, and looked particularly eye-catching against her dark green rider suit.

A breeze blew by, and Kalena turned her head and wrinkled her nose in disgust.

The wind blows from the direction of the wooden poles, which also brings the stench of rotting bodies that are permeating the intersection.

"What a wonderful scenery." The female priest on the horse leaned out slightly, spitted on the ground, looked to the other side, and smiled, "But they have a good appetite."

Wherever she sees, is the area where Jinshu Village in Mokou Town distributes free porridge to refugees.

It was a temporary camp with high tents and fenced.

Through the fire, you can see many people busy. From time to time, someone transports the steaming wooden barrels to the long table beside the fence, and then distributes them to individuals by the responsible guards.

Obviously, these foods are cooked in real time.

Although the porridge is not thick and there are no vegetable leaves or other things, the only fragrance has made most people swallow their throats and their saliva cannot stop surging.

The refugees dressed in ragged and thin and yellow faces lined up neatly and orderly in a long queue, collecting their own food one after another.

Everyone here, under the guidance of the guards, received wooden bowls, made porridge, went to the other end to drink porridge, and put the bowl.

It is hard to believe that this orderly order was actually created by ordinary civilians.

But in Kalena's opinion, the reason why the refugees here are so honest is that the stench that comes from the wind is absolutely indelible.

In fact, among these refugees, in addition to fleeing civilians from Sambiya, there are many southern nobles and merchants who were exiled to this place, and a large number of prisoners of rebel soldiers.

Of course, there are pirates and soldiers from the Weihong Sea and the Dragon Coast.

In the war against the rebels, the fleets on the Dragon Coast and Weihong Sea were almost wiped out by a meteorite falling from the sky.

Kalena's brother, the supreme commander of the Purple Dragon Knight, not only led the Blue Dragon Fleet to capture all the enemy soldiers who survived in Longhu, but also arrived at many towns and villages along the Dragon Coast, taking away a large number of people.

Only afterwards did she realize that the shocking idea of ​​going to the Dragon Coast to snatch civilians was actually from Brian.

The purpose of doing this is to place a place for them, and to provide them with free food every day, which is simply a waste of resources.

Although the mage lord's actions were incomprehensible to most people, since Mokou Town was re-incorporated into the territory of the Kingdom of Cormier, Kalena chose to leave the temple of Morning Star Town without hesitation to establish herself, she gradually realized that every step of Brian's actions always contain more profound meanings.

That's exactly what's true.

"You ask the Lord why did you give you food? This question is good!" A short, fat man with a red face stood on a temporary podium made of wooden barrels and said with a dance:

"This is the kindness that the Lord gave to you. Whether you were slaves, exiled merchants and nobles, or captured and surrendered soldiers, bandits and pirates, these are no longer important. Now you have a new identity: they are all labor reformers. Lord hope that through this transformation, you can become human beings again!"

"But you said before that free food will only be distributed for three days, so what should I do in the future?" asked a young man with messy hair like a chicken coop.

Kalena knows this unlucky young man.

His father was the Count with fiefs and real power in Susal City. He was from a very wealthy family and his favorite thing to do was to stroll on the streets of the city with a bird cage.

Unfortunately, his father and his brother were staunch supporters of Prince Selante, and were forced to confess from the soul crystal of the Deep Demon Refining by Tifflin.

In the end, both of them were hanged to the execution ground in Susal City. As for this noble young master who knew nothing about the rebels, he was inexplicably trapped here by his old father.

In Susar's aristocratic group, his son always cheated on his father, but this young master who had no worries about food and clothing was cheated by his father.

When the noble young master heard the inquiry, the people who were doing the meal were immediately attracted to their attention. The sound at the scene gradually subsided, and most people raised their heads, pricked their ears, and waited for the other party's answer.

"It's very simple! You can support yourself!" The fat man on the wooden barrel smiled:

"I... support myself?" The noble young master was stunned. "But I can't do anything except walking birds and teasing dogs. Oh my god, don't tell me that I want to farm myself. When I come, didn't I agree to keep food and accommodation, and I don't have to be a slave?"

"Don't worry, let me tell you slowly!" The fat man waved his hand and said:

"Mokou Town has a large territory. In the future, a large number of workers will be required to build and build roads and bridges. This is how you support yourself! Lord Lord mercifully, let you rest here for three days and then devote yourself to the work assigned to you. So, let labor, only labor can create wealth, only labor can change your destiny! As long as the work assigned to you is completed on time, not only will it include food and accommodation, but it will also allow you to get a stable salary. This money can not only support yourself, but also support your family! At the same time, Lord Lord promised that anyone who owns a formal job and performs well for three months will be accepted as the hierarchy of the territory! They will also own their own land and houses!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The fat man's words caused a stir in the crowd, and there was even a middle-aged man with a slightly rosy complexion - from the imprint on his neck, he was a slave from the Dragon Coast.

He said excitedly, "As long as you want to keep food and accommodation here, I am willing to be a slave, even if I am a slave, I can still get paid and free. It's simply great."

"Yes, I know what you are all thinking." The fat man standing on the barrel whispered:

"There are many slaves among you, or civilians who were once oppressed by the nobles of the Dragon Coast, but it doesn't matter. You must believe that Lord Lord, through labor, you will be reborn. This reborn will not be frightened, nor will you be froze, hungry, and you will not be welcomed by whips on your body at any time or even gallows. Now, when you come here, you can rely on your own hands to exchange for legitimate rewards, whether it is food, clothing, or even a shelter from the wind and rain! You can get all these!"

"Is it... as long as you are willing to work, right?" The noble young master who was cheated here by his rebel father and brother asked in a low voice.

"That's right." The fat man with red face showed an amiable smile.

"As long as you are willing to work, you will understand that all your efforts can be harvested. It is like seeds planted in the soil and bear fruit. The fruits of your labor will never be harvested by the sickle that others fly over. Of course, if you choose to lie flat, then even the gods in the sky will not be able to save you."

Within the territory of Mokou Town, there are many such camps, such speakers, such refugees, and the future and hope given to them.

"It seems that the busy time will never end." Kalena put on her hood again and continued walking deeper along the gravel-paved path.

As the priest of Mother Earth and the patriarch of the Temple of Mokou Town, the main responsibility of their clergy is to help the leaders of Mokou Town teach them the knowledge of how to replant, composting and irrigation to fertilize the land, and pass on the land from generation to generation, not just to exhaust its yield through grazing and excavation.

Of course, there are also the most important things to do to prevent plant diseases, burning the bodies of sick plants and infected animal husbandry to prevent the spread of the disease.

Nowadays, with the growth of towns and the increasing population, the reclaimed land has become more and more, and the clergy of the Mother Earth Church has naturally become busy.

After all, the cold winter is coming soon, and they must guide the vast majority of these farmers who have been slaves and have regained their own freedom, how to manage their own land and get a bumper harvest next year.

Especially after Prince Selante's rebellious war ended, the regent queen issued a policy of exempting taxes and distributing the land confiscated by the rebel nobles in the south to civilians, Kalena could clearly feel the busy craze of the clergy in the entire Kingdom of Cormier.

Just yesterday, she saw with her own eyes in Morning Star Town that the golden pastorals from the Deep Water City, the Harvest House of Am, and the Golden Wheat Monastery in the Mist Valley, etc., many temple priests came to support their work.

After all, in this policy, the Regent Queen personally promised to support the church of Mother Earth and add more temples within the territory of the kingdom.

Of course, the price paid by the church is to provide the kingdom with a large amount of food at the lowest price.

The territory of Mokou Town, which she was responsible for, seemed to be under the extra care of the Mother Earth God, and the number of clergymen obtained was twice as many as that of other regions, and even supported a large amount of food for free.

Although the series of disasters in the Kingdom of Cormier brought countless pains and devastations, it was precisely because of these disasters that brought this forest kingdom to life.

Disaster is like a farmer burning the remaining crops on the harvested farmland, and the ashes of straw that are transformed into flames will nourish the land.

And the people of the Kingdom of Cormier have "burned" all the memories they are unwilling to continue carrying, allowing the burning flames to nourish their souls and welcome a new future.

Just like today's weather, the sun is shining and the climate is pleasant.

Kalena rides leisurely on the country road in Mokou Town.

She rode her horse past the last fence and came to the rolling green fields under the breeze. On this path full of winter wheat and lettuce, the cultivated land stretched out in all directions wherever she looked.

A carriage full of cargo from the opposite direction passed by her, and a ox unloading his yoke was drooping his head in sorrow, looking at the mud and feces on the ground.

Although Kalena's horse speed was very slow, the houses in Jinshu Village, which already had a small town scale, gradually disappeared from sight.

Soon, she walked through a country path with flat terrain and planted crops to a small hill with forests.

She let the cold winter breeze blow across her slightly pale cheeks and overlook the beautiful scenery of the villages and towns under the hillside.

Feeling the tranquility and tranquility here, Kalena almost forgot her real purpose in coming here.

In the temple area of ​​Mokou Town, Brian helped her build a monastery of Mother Earth.

This was his promise when she decided to do her best to help Mokou Town.

Now, she thought it was time for him to fulfill his second promise, which was to help her build the second temple of the Earth Mother God in the wilderness of Mokou Town.

Brian once told her that in addition to worshipping the Mother Earth God, the monastery in the town can be regarded as a temple mainly for teaching gardening, herbalism, plant classification, disease management, and farming skills.

And these clergy, or civilians who have returned from the monastery, can go to temples built in the wilderness for on-site training.

After all, in the church of Mother Earth, the era of the druids has passed.

Although the druids still have their value in the wilderness, what the rising nations need is a belief controlled, organized, and professionalized by more reasonable and rational clergy.

The method taught to her by Brian could allow the church to continuously cultivate a large number of clergy in the town, and then distribute them to the wilderness to serve the teachings of Mother Earth.

Therefore, the purpose of her inspection of the territory today was to find a suitable location to build a temple in the wilderness.

The reason why Brian so readily agreed to her request and invested in helping her build a temple was entirely due to Kalena's help, convinced her prime minister's father, Ferfarier, to compromise with the royal reform.

As a pastor, although she had never received any oracles or prophecies from Mother Earth, she could clearly foresee that when Cormier's regent queen, like an ignorant girl who was blinded by love, obeyed Brian's words, it meant that the times were about to change.

Anyone who cannot keep up with the trend of the times will eventually be completely eliminated, just like a wave of death on the beach.

Thinking of this, Kalena couldn't help but sigh a little melancholy.

She began to feel a little grateful for a choice she made without hesitation.

Once, her prime minister's father forced her to marry Prince Selante.

What is Prince Selante?

She naturally firmly disagreed, so in order to escape the wedding banquet, she decisively dedicated her faith and future to Mother Earth, which saved her from this forced marriage.

Unfortunately, another thing made her regret every time she recalled it.

She was too lazy to think about it any more, and came back to her senses and began to seriously think about where she was and build the second temple of Mother Earth.

In order to find a suitable location, she went to five villages and towns within Mokou Town, and finally regarded Jinshu Village, which had the widest arable land area, as her goal.

But the specific location she should be in was a little worried. Theoretically, she naturally needed to find a place with flat terrain and fertile soil, and to establish a monastery with experimental and research properties.
