The huge volume called "The Supreme Code" was ordered by Isabel to be placed in the center of the town the next day for the public to visit. All those who see it with their own eyes are intoxicated by the sense of holiness displayed by this magical scroll. Many people even prostrated themselves on the ground and worshiped this so-called miracle.
It¡¯s not surprising, you have to know that although there are various supernatural powers in this world, for the vast majority of ordinary people, those weird things are really far away from them. Just like unless they have received special magic training, very few people can tell the difference between divine magic and arcane magic, even the unlucky adventurers who have suffered from both personally many times. Magicians who have mastered huge power and can "summon devils from hell" and "turn disrespectful people into frogs" are no less intimidating to ordinary people than the spokesmen of gods, and may even Passed by.
The construction of the temple is proceeding quite smoothly. People always have respect for the beautiful things that can entrust their souls. It didn't take long for a general outline to be drawn out. On the other hand, the United Chamber of Commerce, which took over the city construction, has also collected a large amount of obsidian ore and is sending people to transport it to the territory. For valuable customers who can pay a large amount of gold coins, the efficiency of these chambers of commerce is extremely fast.
During this period, the first batch of missionaries of the Church of the Supreme God also began to take shape. Thanks to Sebastian and Isabel, their recent fame has made many young people not hesitate too much even when they join this rather unfamiliar church.
Ability to serve one's lord. It¡¯s a dream for many young people to escape their lifelong status as farmers. Some of them are not physically strong enough to join the escort team, but they have more flexible minds and smooth talk. And such people were exactly what the church desperately needed in its early days.
As for those who are slightly older, even if they do not yet have devout gods, they are not as youthful and impulsive as young men. Most of them chose to wait and see for the time being, to carefully compare whether this strange god really conformed to their long-standing outlook on life, values, and philosophy of doing things. But no matter what their final decision was, they had to admit that the generous conditions announced by the young lord really made them quite excited.
It¡¯s not just a reduction in taxes, Isabel decided after discussing it with everyone. The children of the faithful will be given the opportunity to acquire knowledge. There is no cost to their families. In this era when nobles had mastered most of the knowledge, this move was almost earth-shattering.
You should know that both the cost of hiring teachers and the books and paper used in the learning process are not small expenses. But about this decision. Girls also have their own considerations. First of all, it is naturally to better gather the centripetal force of the people in the territory. Enhance the attractiveness of the Church of the Supreme God; secondly. As the population in the territory gradually increased, the disadvantage of the lack of management became more prominent. Although cultivating a management team from an early age is a long-term plan with slow results, for Isabel, who has clear ambitions for her future. This kind of waiting that can see the results is not something intolerable.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and gradually, Toft Town has entered winter. The wealthy people had already put on furs early, while the poor could only wrap up their thin clothes more tightly.
In previous years, as usual, farmers just sowed winter wheat seeds and ignored them, simply hoping for good luck in the coming spring. Usually, in this case, a harvest of three or four times is enough to satisfy the farmers.
But this year is completely different. Isabel had already made comprehensive plans for farming the entire territory earlier. This plan was so detailed that the heads of the farmers in charge of each farm couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. They had to urge and supervise their tenant farmers as they carried out delicate labor in the cold winter. Fortunately, in early winter, the girl had already ordered her subordinates to send out a batch of winter clothing. Otherwise, many people would inevitably curse in private.
As for those yeoman families who own their own private land, most of them are still huddled in the new houses they were assigned to avoid the biting cold wind outside, just like in previous years. But there are also a small number of people who, after this period of experience, have great confidence in this young girl acting lord, and they follow suit and sow various crops.
The construction of the town has been basically completed, and only the temple area that will be added later is undergoing final finishing work. The towering obsidian obelisk has stood majestically, piercing the clouds like a spear. As the tallest building in Toft, wherever it stands in the town?You can see this landmark building at a glance from any location.
Sebastian has rushed back from Sorens City. As the actual lord of Toft Town, he has come to attend the opening ceremony of the Temple of the Supreme God.
The stars are sparse and the moonlight is like water.
The young man in a blue and black robe was alone, walking slowly on the brand new bluestone road, settling silently and not being disturbed, as if he didn't want to disturb the quiet night.
For ordinary people, the nightlife in this era is really not that rich. Although there is no strict curfew, most people choose to return home after eight or nine o'clock and carry out a series of life activities. Only guys with gold coins jingling in their pockets will gather their friends and go to those good places that only men visit to have a good time.
As a newly built town, Toft Town was established under the command of a young female acting lord, so the facilities in this area are not yet complete. Therefore, it is no wonder that the streets seem a little deserted after dark.
Stopping for a moment outside the gate of the temple, Sebastian looked up at the majestic building in front of him. Even the dark night could not block his sight.
Nodding with satisfaction, the young man took steps again. Enter the main entrance of the temple.
The guards on both sides seemed to be unaware of anything and still maintained their original postures, alert to the movements around them. In their hearts, there seemed to be a special power that forcibly blocked the young magician's sense of existence, making them completely unable to detect the boy's existence.
Walking along the back square of the temple, not long after, the towering obelisk appeared in front of Sebastian's eyes. The black-purple obsidian tower seems to blend harmoniously into the night background, presenting a unique hazy beauty.
While looking at the obelisk up and down, the boy slowly circled the base three times. Finally, he stopped. He smiled with satisfaction. The engineers of the United Chamber of Commerce are very skilled. This tower was built completely according to my own drawing data, and the only minor errors were within the acceptable range.
After gently reciting a byte, Sebastian's right hand casually stretched out to his side and inserted into the center of the magic circle floating in the air. When his hand was withdrawn again. There was already a ball of strange light silver material in his palm.
This silver unknown substance presents a colloid state between solid and liquid. With a specific frequency. The colloid itself also becomes blurry and clear from time to time, alternating with each other. One second, it seemed real; the next. It seemed to suddenly turn into a ball of pure energy, which was extremely weird.
"Isat Ramsay Kulala Tiras Gur" Raised his right hand high, letting the silver substance in his palm drip from the seam of his palm to the ground, Sebastian Powerfully chanted the mysterious and complicated mantra, "Yinmoharo Tarotka Usakuta"
This spell was so long and difficult to pronounce that even Sebastian had to be very careful. Because he understood that even if the pronunciation was just one syllable off, all his previous preparations, which lasted for a month and a half, would be in vain.
As the magic ritual progressed, the mysterious silver substance in the boy's palm had flowed along the ground like mercury on the marble foundation, surrounding the base of the obelisk, outlining the prototype of a huge magic array. . Countless tiny runes form nodes one after another, and the nodes are reconnected into silver threads. Compared with the common magic arrays in this world, this mysterious magic array is much more complicated.
As the magic circle took shape bit by bit, Sebastian's eyes gradually lit up. Finally, he firmly grasped the right hand raised in the air and used all his strength to complete the last syllable of the spell:
"Nikomonchu!"
The magic circle seemed to pause for a moment, and the next second, as if it had received an absolute order, it began to twist and turn at an extremely fast speed. Countless runes and shapes extend out from the magic array, like flexible tentacles, wrapping around the obelisk in the center of the array.
The bright and sometimes dark silver runes flowed along the tower to the top within a few breaths. Viewed from a distance, the entire obsidian obelisk seems to be tightly wrapped by countless silver runes.
At this moment, a dazzling silver light flashed, turning the entire night into day. Then in the next second, all the silver disappeared, and darkness once again enveloped this small town.
The countless runes and patterns have mysteriously sunk into the body of the obelisk, and no trace can be seen anymore.
Seeing this scene,?Bastian breathed a long sigh of relief. After taking a few deep breaths and letting himself rest for a while, he opened the space magic circle again and took out a basketball-sized crystal ball that could almost be described as perfect in every sense.
The young magician carefully raised his hand, and the crystal ball floated up automatically, as if it had been summoned by something, and went straight to the top of the obelisk. After flying to the top of the tower, it seemed to be firmly bound by an invisible force. The crystal ball no longer moved, but began to rotate at a slow speed.
Using an unknown magic again, a golden light flashed in Sebastian's eyes. He raised his head and looked towards the top of the tall tower. Now, the young man could clearly see hundreds of golden lines of varying thicknesses coming from all directions in the air, as if a lost child suddenly found his family, winding up and connected to the crystal ball on the top of the tower. Together.
Through the spiritual crystal servant that was synchronized with the crystal ball, Sebastian could feel that after these golden lines were connected, a strange energy was transmitted. Although the quantity is not much, the quality is exceptionally fine. Thanks to it, the calculation speed of the Psychic Crystal Servant has suddenly increased, and the range of telepathy has also been greatly increased.
The power of faith is truly miraculous. (To be continued)
