At this moment, she suddenly thought of Zong Shen.

The man who had rescued her from the Dragonborn Knights on a big wild boar!

Although they didn't meet many times, Zong Shen left a deep impression on Safli.

He was different from the believers, deacons, elders, and even the archbishop in the church.

Most of the people in the Calamity Raven Church are fanatical and persistent.

The respect for her is only based on the status of a saint.

Even every time she faced the archbishop, Safley felt that she was a tool person.

On the contrary, His Majesty the Pope treated her very well, which made her feel some family affection.

Prior to this, Sapphire had also determined to dedicate everything to the development of the Calamity Raven Church.

Every mission performed by her rarely fails, and most missions are successfully completed.

The real crisis of being almost captured was only in Odo Village.

As for Zong Shen, his feelings for Safli are completely different.

From him, Safley seemed to see the outside world.

That's right, it's the outside world!

The same, fanatical, persistent church life is like a cage.

When she first had such thoughts, Safley was still very panicked.

Feeling that your piety and certain beliefs are shattered, and there is a sense of guilt.

But after thinking about it for a period of time, Saffry could already accept her own thoughts calmly.

Regarding Zong Shen, her thoughts are actually very complicated, but no matter what, she will not use the conversion ceremony of fanatics on Zong Shen!

This is an extremely overbearing ritual of belief transformation.

Once the ceremony is completed, anyone will have fanatical belief and worship of the Raven God.

In Saffrey's heart, she still hopes that the operation of Lentax Giant City will be successful!

But she didn't want Zong Shen to become a fanatic.

Safli didn't want even Zong Shen to become an inhuman guy.

Thinking of this, her heart became more and more heavy.

This feeling is like the first time she followed the apostles to attack other churches when she just turned fourteen years old. She watched those jackdaw euphorbia warriors chop off the heads of other church pastors.

As for those deacons, they were burned at the stake in public.

Now that she closes her eyes, she can still clearly recall the faces of those deacons who were distorted by pain in the fire. She sniffed it lightly, and there seemed to be a lingering burnt smell in the air, and the sound of singing echoed in her ears. And cursing and heart-piercing wailing.

The village to which the church belongs has been trampled by the iron hooves of the heretic giant knights.

Kill all the believers in the other church.

The soil that had been frozen and hard all year round in the North Land was also soaked in warm blood and softened, and was stepped over by the heavy armored Sharma, mixing it into red and black mud.

Even the air smelled of blood and rust.

At that time, there was no joy in her heart after victory.

I just feel sick.

The feeling of vomiting travels from the stomach to the throat and finally rises into the head.

All of this made Sapphire feel sick and dizzy.

That was her real reaction at the time.

Although Safley has accepted the belief and indoctrination of the church since she was a child.

But at that time Saffrey discovered one thing.

Even if she has sworn an oath, she is determined to fight for the church in this life.

But seeing this scene, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.

It took her a long time to get used to this feeling.

It wasn't until she was used to seeing life and death that she could look at death and killing calmly that this nausea completely disappeared.

Now, Zong Shen caused a tangled feeling in her heart.

This feeling has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

She just has a window.

A window that looks beyond the church.

"call…"

Sapphire exhaled heavily.

The warm breath slowly dissipated in the form of white mist in the cold air.

The Raven Maiden Saffrey turned around and continued to lean on the stone pile on the high tower.

The stone wall has been covered with a layer of solid ice, which glows pale under the moonlight.

The church tower here is the quietest place in the entire Jackdaw Valley.

It is also a commanding height with a wonderful view.

Standing on it, you can almost overlook the entire valley.

Under the night sky, Jackdaw Valley looked extraordinarily quiet.

Under the light of the silver-white moonlight, Safli could even see the frozen soil and the silver-covered forest outside.

It's not yet the winter time in the North.

The silver and white on the forest are all condensed rime and ice.

During the severe winter, Jackdaw Valley will be covered with heavy snow.

The harsh winter in the northern region will last for about four months.

The heavy snow will accumulate to a thickness of one or two meters if no one clears it.

Every year there are many cases of houses being collapsed by snow.

And there will be violent ice and snow winds and bitter frost cyclones in the sky.

Therefore, the reason for not building a city wall in Jackdaw Valley is also very simple.

It is because this is actually a remote area that is isolated.

Going south requires passing through an extremely vast forest.

There are powerful monsters and various ice field beasts living in the forest.

To the north is the Ice Plateau, and those northern barbarians are not vegetarians.

There is no hard straight road built from here to the outside.

The most convenient way to get in and out is to use the space teleportation array.

Otherwise, you have to go through the ice plateau or tundra forest.

When it was winter, it was very difficult to reach Jackdaw Valley no matter on the ground or in the sky.

This is not like the main giant city of the Vicia Kingdom, where the Kingdom Avenue was built.

It's an isolated place.

Of course, Jackdaw Valley has not completely cut off communication with the outside world.

Although it is difficult for a large-scale army to move directly to this place.

But those refugees and small-scale traveling merchants can still get here.

Traveling merchants are the most active group of people on this continent.

As long as there are human beings, there will be active merchants.

So when Safli asked Zong Shen to be a guest at that time, it was not entirely out of politeness.

If Zong Shen followed the traveling merchant team with her token in hand, he would not suffer any harm.

Although the Calamity Raven Church is not a good man or woman, it also urgently needs to expand its believers.

However, they will not easily deal with traveling merchants and refugees.

This is a customary rule.

Once it is destroyed, there will be no refugees and merchants coming here, and the vitality of development will eventually be lost.

The so-called believers in most churches are only those who have been transformed through preaching.

Most of them are refugees, and they accepted the faith because of a mouthful of hot porridge.

This kind of belief is not strong, and it needs to be continuously consolidated and brainwashed.

From among these believers there is also a screening.

Enroll in a church or group of believers.

As for the transformation of the fanatic ceremony mentioned by Archbishop Byron before, it is the so-called fanatic.

There is also a price to pay for performing fanatic rituals.

If Zong Shen came simply as a visitor, he would not be forcibly transformed into a fanatic.

Moreover, Archbishop Byron also said that if Safli insisted on wanting Zong Shen to participate in church affairs.

You must first turn it into a fanatic.

In other words, as long as Zong Shen is not allowed to get involved, there is no need to convert him as a believer.

Looking at the scenery of Jackdaw Valley, Safley fell into deep thought.

At present, there are still more than 20 days before the banquet in the Lentax giant city begins.

To be on the safe side, she will leave in a week.

First rush to the secret stronghold of the church in the east of Avalon through the teleportation array.

Then ride the Frost Raven and rush to the nearest state city.

This operation can be regarded as a kind of beheading operation.

The real purpose is to take all the nobles and nobles who participated in the banquet together, and use this as an opportunity to quickly grasp the giant city and its subordinate state cities.

In order to cooperate with the action, the church will dispatch an entire group of apostles to lie dormant in the mountains.

It is convenient for the church to quickly control all cities.

Actions in the giant city don't require too many people.

Cooperating with Saffrey's actions will be a squadron of church elites.

These elites are not like the Jackdaw Jaeger Warriors and Heretic Giant Power Knights of the Believers.

They are the true elite of the church.

They are the Frost Judgment Army and the Calamity Arbitration Army.

In the Calamity Raven Church, these are powerful warriors chosen from thousands.

It is equivalent to a sixth-level soldier in the kingdom.

In order to attend the banquet smoothly, they have been preparing for months in advance.

Enough invitations have been obtained through various means.

It doesn't take so many people to enter a banquet.

At that time, most of the elite fighters will be on standby near the central castle.

There are not many ways to obtain the qualifications to participate in the banquet.

In addition to the normal invitation letter, the only way to get a place is to participate in the competition.

It is also unrealistic to obtain places by participating in the conference. In addition, it is easy to expose strength.

So they prepared disguise props that can change the appearance and figure.

Sneak into the state city under the giant city of Lentax in advance.

Controlled the local ruling nobles and obtained the invitation letter.

This control has certain risks.

Especially when the state force has not been lifted.

There is always the possibility of being exposed.

But the church doesn't care about that much anymore.

If there is intentional delay, there is no problem in concealing it for a month or two.

After getting the invitation letter, Safli disguised herself again, and then she could attend the banquet logically.

After the banquet begins, their final plans can be completed.

As long as they can successfully hijack and control Marquis Henry Lancaster and those minor nobles who attended the banquet and are in charge of the major cities, then there is no need to worry about the soldiers and Dragonborn Knights in the giant city.

Even so, this plan is still very risky, and it can be called an act of seeking wealth and wealth.

This time the action goes far beyond the giant city of Lentax.

The church's target selected three giant cities in Avalon.

The other two will have different archbishops in charge.

Sapphire is just an offshoot of the plan.

If it fails, only two teams of elite Judgment Army and Arbitration Army of Tier 6 will not be able to fight against all the fighters in the entire giant city.

But Saffrey had no choice.

The church needs to drive the nails into the kingdom of Avalon.

And as far as she knows, the Calamity Raven Church is not the only force that has observed the high-level conflicts in the major kingdoms.

If the current continent is like a calm lake, then real waves will appear soon, and the major kingdoms will be overwhelmed!

Thinking of this, Safley's eyes gradually became deeper.

She stared at the cold wind, as if merging with the night in the north.

…

At the same time, in Zong Shen's territory.

It took him more than half an hour to finally answer the soldiers' suggestions and doubts.

This is also the result of him deliberately allowing each branch to send only one spokesperson.

By the time all the soldiers had finished speaking, his mouth was dry.

Suggestions from the fighters varied.

Most of them are suggestions for territorial life.

Almost all Mages strongly demanded to build another [Magic Palace].

Although [Mage Training Ground] also has meditation rooms, the effect is not as good as the ten meditation rooms in [Magic Palace].

Therefore, the most popular among the masters is [Magic Palace].

It's just that Zong Shen couldn't solve this problem in a short time.

He doesn't have a suitable rarity [building replica stone] in his hand, so he can only see if he has a chance in the future.

As for the requirements of other fighters, they are also very different.

There are not only problems about daily food, but also suggestions for soldiers.

There's also the matter of housing.

Hearing Zong Shen's head "buzzing", it was as if he had been hit by the [Roaring Hammer in the Cranium].

After he listened to the suggestions of the soldiers.

Hastily handed it over to Luna, Vereesa and Doris to deal with the aftermath. .

Let them count today's equipment loss in detail.

But Zong Shen himself took the opportunity to sneak away, and directly drove the weight-bearer mech to find Howie and Mariel.

When he reached the open space on the other side of the living area, he realized that the farming meeting had not ended.

You know it's past ten o'clock in the evening.

This farming training meeting has no intention of stopping.

This surprised him a little.

"Good guy! Can you still be addicted to the training session?"

He muttered a sigh to himself.

According to the original plan, the evening training meeting would end on time at ten o'clock, but it was obviously overtime now.

I saw the surrounding farmers forming a big circle.

The scale of more than a thousand people still looks quite imposing.

At a glance, Zong Shen could only see a crowd of shaking heads, and he could vaguely see sparks leaping from the tall campfire in the crowd.

As for Mariel and Howie, he didn't see anyone at all.

This training will be except for the two of them.

The hero-level talents from the previous two refugees and the seven hero-level talents recruited from the unclaimed territory are also here.

After these two additions, there are eleven hero-level talents in the territory's logistics department.

After a period of familiarization and running-in, these newly joined hero-level talents can quickly devote themselves to the construction and development of the territory.

At that time, the logistical efficiency of the territory will reach a new level.

These hero-level talents will also form the background of the future city hall of the territory.

Zong Shen parked the load-bearing mech outside the crowd.

The scene of the farming training conference was full of voices. Those farmers didn't even know that the lord came here in person. Zong Shen looked at the crowd, and didn't want to use brute force to enter, so he took out the [Leiluo Horn] and cast the [Levitation Technique] 】.

His body floated up and flew directly from above the crowd to the middle.

There is about a hundred square meters of space in the central circle of the crowd.

Being in it, there is an illusion of being surrounded by the vast ocean of the people.

At this time, the heroic talents headed by Howie and Mariel.

Erya and Xiaoping, who are in charge of farming affairs, and those rare talented farmers who have learned farming books, grabbed the **** forged by the dwarf uncle, and opened up a small area of ​​several square meters on the ground. The square field, while demonstrating, focused on the farming skills.

Questions such as how deep to dig, how much to plant, and how to distribute drainage ditches.

After Zong Shen floated down.

The first to react were Howie and Mariel.

"My lord! You are here!"

Howie was the first to bow and salute Zong Shen.

Mariel on the side opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

Zong Shen couldn't help showing a strange expression when he heard Howie's voice.

"Damn it, how did your voice become like a crow's?"

"Why is your voice suddenly hoarse?"

At this time, Howie's voice was astringent and hoarse, like iron pieces rubbing against each other.

Hearing Zong Shen's question, Howie showed a wry smile on his face.

He turned his head to look at Mariel, and then the two turned their heads at the same time to explain embarrassingly.

"Go back to your lord, because the farming training session..."

“Our voices are basically hoarse.”

"I can at least talk."

"Mariel can't even speak now."

"It will take at least two or three days to recover."

After Howie finished speaking, Zong Shen also looked at Mariel.

The little girl nodded vigorously, and the tense expression on her face finally relaxed a little.

Not being able to talk really hurt her.

Fortunately, Howie acted as her interpreter.

Zong Shen froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"You guys are working too hard!"

"Go to the central area for a while, and ask Mariel to fetch some [Luna Spring] for you."

"May the spring water heal your wounds."

Zong Shen really didn't expect them to fight to such an extent.

All the heroic talents knelt on one knee and saluted Zong Shen to express their respect.

"Welcome, Lord Lord!"

The surrounding farmers also knelt on one knee at this moment, saluting him.

The scene looked like falling dominoes, with the crowd kneeling in a sprawl from the inside out.

Zong Shen's arrival interrupted the farming training conference.

He waved his hand, indicating that everyone can get up.

The etiquette of the other world is somewhat fancy and cumbersome to him.

But when facing the farmers and soldiers in the territory.

Accepting their homage is also a way of assuring authority.

With his nod ~lightnovelpub.net~ all the farmers stood up one after another.

Zong Shen raised his hands and pressed down, motioning for everyone to keep quiet and prepare for lectures.

Perhaps because of loyalty, or perhaps because of other factors, all farmers have entered a state of silence.

"Ahem..."

He lightened his throat, and then began to speak loudly.

"I think tonight's farming meeting can be over."

"Master Mariel should have said to everyone that the current territory is not suitable for full-scale farming at the moment."

"At least you have to wait another seven or eight days!"

"I guarantee that everyone will have a suitable job."

"Whoever has no work will also get a field!"
