Chapter 307 Western Wilderness
The wind blew across the endless wilderness, and everything you could see was filled with wind and sand, and it was indescribable desolation.
As a gathering place for pioneers in the Western Wilderness, Moon Creek Town, the human nature here is always sad, and it faces various problems all the time. Life and death, pain and disease seem to have been taken for granted.
The collapse of the mine, the ferocious beasts in the wild, the attacks of jackals, the foraging of mountain dogs, the raids of gravel birds, and the rampage of blood-tooth boars.
All kinds of emergencies have become interesting topics for people to talk about despite suffering.
At this time, the only bar in Xiyue Town was swaying with candlelight. Countless naked men were holding large wine glasses in their hands. From time to time, they clinked glasses with their companions and drank, discussing something loudly and fiercely. The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. The sour smell from a busy day.
However, the most discussed thing recently is the sudden new change in the town. That is the small town of Yuexi, which was originally located on the edge of the kingdom. A group of priests actually came and established an office called the Holy Church in the center of the town. .
"Everyone knows about the newly established Holy Light Institute, right?"
"Of course I know. The priests there are very good people! Not only do they charge low fees for medical treatment, but they also help us untouchables drive away some wild beasts. They are more dedicated than the soldiers in the city. A few days ago, a beast came to the old man's field. The blood-toothed wild boar was about to be destroyed when the crops they planted were killed by them. The old man could not forget the golden sword energy of such a big blood-toothed wild boar, which was killed by one of them in an instant. Split in half."
After saying this, the old man still felt dissatisfied. He stood up unsteadily and started gesticulating with his hands, which instantly caused the people in the tavern to sigh.
"Who says it's not the case? These pastors don't stay in the church and pray to the Holy Light. When they have nothing to do, they like to watch us work and sometimes point at us. I was also very unhappy at first, thinking that my ancestors were all You are a farmer. Don’t you know how to farm quickly? But you know how to do it. Those pastors brought a machine and harvested my wheat in just a few clicks. I watched. Stunned." After saying this, the strong and rude man made an exaggerated expression.
Yuexi Town is not that big to begin with, with only a thousand people in the town. Almost everyone is a neighbor, and even if they are not very familiar with each other, they have had an impression of it and have met each other.
"Yo! What are you talking about? You know, now we are not the only ones with the Holy Temple in Yuexi Town. They are present in almost all the cities of Stormwind Kingdom. Some time ago, there was a giant monster wandering in the south of Xiquan Fortress. Wealthy Werewolf Hogg, everyone knows about it!" A man dressed as a mercenary suddenly stood up and shouted.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted to him, the man raised his head slightly proudly and continued to speak unhurriedly, "You must know that this guy occupies the headlines of the Kingdom's bulletin board. He is such a ferocious monster. The gnolls with their men attacked the kingdom's outposts, and the priests, who were holding knight swords, combined to eliminate all of them, and now the corpses are still hanging in Jinshijin Town for people to display."
"Wow!"
Instantly the whole tavern was in commotion.
"This... this is simply unbelievable. When did the priests have such powerful power? That is the two-meter-tall, extremely ferocious Hogg!" A miner exclaimed with his eyes wide open.
"No, no, no, you said small, but he is nearly five meters tall. I passed by Goldsmith Town and saw it with my own eyes. Even the body that was chopped into half is as tall as our tavern. It is simply terrifying." A businessman from other places smacked his lips and said.
"Aren't these priests ready to save lives and become soldiers?" When the miners heard what the businessman said, a look of disbelief flashed in their eyes.
Just as everyone continued to discuss the various wonders of the temple enthusiastically, the door of the tavern was suddenly opened, and a group of clergymen wearing silver armor suddenly appeared at the door.
The discussion in the tavern instantly fell silent. The people in the tavern looked at the cleric and his party with curious eyes.
I saw the young cleric with a short haircut and a capable face at the front suddenly said, "Is old Mayor Mu Ye here?"
The old man who had just started to praise the clergy looked stunned and stood up in confusion, "Master Pastor, what do you want from me?"
"How many times have the old mayor told me, don't call us master? You can call me by my position, or you can call me by my name directly, Locke." The young cleric explained with a chuckle.
"But the pastors are all good people! How can I call you by your names?" Old Mayor Mu Ye said with awe.
The priests felt helpless, "Old mayor, we do this because we also need the people in the town to support us. Only by leading everyone to live a good life, will everyone support us as they should!" So don’t think that we are superior to you because we have done good things. You will understand in the future. Now I am here to discuss with you how to keep everyone fed.”
The old mayor nodded in understanding. He didn't understand why these priests needed the support of these pariahs, but no matter what the priests said, he just nodded. Anyway, it seemed that the priests knew a lot. , not only can farm and save people, but also has strong strength and good character. Yuexi Town is undoubtedly lucky to have this strength.
Seeing the perfunctory attitude of the old mayor, Locke didn't give any more explanations. After all, these things can't be changed in a short while.
"This is not the place to talk. If it's convenient for the old mayor, let's go to a quiet place to talk!"
Old Mayor Muye nodded quickly, "Convenient! Convenient!"
Then the clergy led the old mayor towards the direction of the church.
Seeing a group of people walking away, the atmosphere in the tavern instantly became more intense.
"I found that these pastors are all approachable and have no..." The farmer, who was a little speechless for a moment, suddenly didn't know how to describe it.
At this time, the businessman on the side took over the words leisurely, "We are not treated as human beings at all! After saying this, the businessman looked at the door with deep eyes. Although he didn't understand what he said, everyone present All civilians feel the same way. Whether in front of nobles or those with powerful power, their existence is like animals. You must be grateful for even a little charity, otherwise you do not respect the noble blood.
But who wants others to be given alms for no reason? They have hands and feet. As long as they are not squeezed too hard, no one wants to live with dignity.
However, when the priests came to this town, they saw something different. Those approachable guys. Whenever you wanted to thank them, they would say that they should do this because of them. They need the support of these untouchables, and for the first time they can feel what dignity is. It turns out that they are not useless, they are also needed by a group of noble priests! Although they knew that the pastors might be speaking politely, they unconsciously believed them every time they saw their sincere eyes.
