Chapter 1338 The Kingdom's Decree, Your Majesty Has Already Approved It
"O Lord God! It's snowing, and another winter has arrived!..."
October is full of winter snow. Heavy snowfall has already fallen on the Kamchatka Peninsula twice, and the Great Whale Harbor on the coast of Alaska in the far north has just received its first snowfall this year. Under the influence of the Alaskan Warm Current, the east side of the North Pacific at the same latitude is indeed warmer than the west side.
"Drive! Drive!..."
Priest Chimel rode on a big Jurchen horse and galloped with a bright smile on his face. The horse breeder, Suichiro, trotted after him, panting and shouting, but he couldn't catch up at all.
Further by the river, two Yakut mares were grazing leisurely by the river with their two foals. They gave birth to the pony in June, were hot-mated at the end of the month, and then became pregnant again. They are now four months pregnant.
In horse breeding, the breeding of a mare that goes into estrus for the first time after giving birth is called "hot breeding". The pregnancy rate is very high, and the pregnancy rate is almost 100% accurate. Although the gestation period of a mare is as long as one year, as long as there is sufficient forage nutrition and timely heat breeding, it can achieve almost one litter per year.
This is the key to rapidly reproducing a herd of horses. Sukeichiro dictated many similar points. After Chimel inquired one by one, he even drew a special booklet and paired it with the words he recorded, called "The Running Horse!" The scroll of the Divine Enlightenment of the Four-legged Riding Beast.
"Hoo! Hoo!..."
The wind howled and horse hooves flew across the grass. Chimel clamps the horse's belly and makes the horse run faster, faster! This kind of speed exceeds the limit of running by a samurai. It is an exciting experience that will be unforgettable once you try it once!
"Haha! Riding the horse across the pasture, the horse's hooves trampled through the snow! Even the priests and elders of the royal capital are not as happy as I am now! Haha!..."
Chimel laughed and rushed a few miles in one breath. Then he gently pulled the reins, loosened his legs, and gradually slowed down the horse's speed. As the first rider in the entire America, he indeed enjoyed the joy of riding like no one else! This free life in the far north completely inspired his romantic nature, giving him endless inspiration for painting and writing, and he has painted a full box of paintings.
Perhaps, only by riding on the "manned version of the Eye of the Gods" that the Kingdom is trying, and I don't know when it will be successful... Only the shock of sitting on that kind of divine object flying into the sky can beat this kind of happiness, right? No, there was still a kind of pleasure that he hadn't fully felt yet. That is to take a big boat, row through the rough and windy Shenqi Island chain, and reach the other side of the sea! …
"Great Priest, Great Priest!...There is important news at the port! A messenger is looking for you!..."
The horse breeder, Sukeichiro, chased for two quarters of an hour before he, sweating all over his body, found the chief priest Chimel feeding the horses by the stream. And coming with him was a powerful Tekos warrior who was very good at running. Chimel was slightly startled. He was not impressed by this powerful warrior dressed as a scout of the kingdom?
"Greetings to you! Dear officiant!..."
"The Lord God witnesses! Who are you?..."
"I am the captain of the samurai squad, Axeyama, and I am the vanguard scout of the Monkey Legion who joins the support fleet!"
Tekos warrior Ax Shan hammered his chest hard and lowered his head to salute the chief priest Chimel. Then, he took a deep breath and replied loudly.
"Blessed by the Lord God! The kingdom's vanguard support fleet, two Fengshen shuttle ships, have arrived at the port of the Great Whale Island under the leadership of the chief priest of Lathander!..."
"The chief priest of Lathander is at the port at the moment, waiting to meet and hand over with you!..."
"What? A new batch of support fleets has arrived at the port? At this time when it is about to freeze?..."
"Lathander? Ah! Is it him?... Eight years ago, in the first phase of Shenwei University, there was a rare Tekos priest... He has been promoted to the chief priest?... Then now, he should be the highest status among the Tekos priests. Is he one of several people? ...The person in charge of the support fleet this time will be him..."
Priest Chimel was in a trance, and the image of an energetic, tenacious and persevering mountain priest apprentice emerged in his mind. This was a first-year student of Shenwei University who was taught by His Majesty himself. At that time, he was beside His Majesty, performing many auxiliary teaching tasks, such as raising the "Eye of God" hot air balloon and flying the "Holy Turkey" into the sky. Bake it deliciously…
"God bless me! I'll go to the port first, and you guys will follow behind!..."
Chimel immediately mounted his horse, waved his whip for the first time, and ran quickly towards the port. After a while, the stone temple of the main god appeared in the port town behind the hills. The two "Wind God Shuttle Boats" in the style of covering ocean boats were moored next to the simple but practical wooden port.
A kingdom priest wearing a feather crown, not tall but very strong, stood at the edge of the port, observing the stone temple of the main god. And when he heard the "clack-clack" of horse hooves, he suddenly turned around. His face was startled at first, and then filled with excitement and joy!
"The Lord God guides us to meet! Dear Teacher Chimel, we meet again!..."
"Haha! Luosanda, your majestic and solemn expression now is completely different from what it was seven or eight years ago!...Huh? You don't need to kneel down when you get up!...You are also the officiant now, and like me, you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony. …Hey! I can’t afford the title of teacher. I was just accompanying His Majesty and responsible for the teaching affairs of the first batch of students..."
Lathander knelt down on one knee and respectfully performed the courtesy of an audience. Then, he stood up and said with a smile.
"Teacher Chimel! Congratulations!..."
"I came here this time with His Majesty's promotion order... You are already the third fourth-level chief priest in the kingdom's northern missionary area after Chief Priest Zuvaro and Chief Priest Miki!..."
"Praise the Lord! Praise His Majesty, who is inspired by God! And praise you, Chief Priest Chimer!..."
"Ah? Your Majesty promoted me to become the third chief priest?!..."
Chimer was surprised, totally unexpected. He led the fleet to the Far North Coast. In addition to sending three support longships westward and arranging support and supplies for various ports on the Far North Coast... Most of the time, he stayed at Shen Da Jing Island, painting comfortably and riding happily... How come His Majesty sent a royal order and appointed him as the chief priest in just over a year?
"This is really... This is really... A responsibility that cannot be avoided!..."
Chimer pondered in silence, thinking about the arrangement of fate, while pulling Losanda's arm and going to the temple at the port. After the two of them sat down in the newly built side room of the temple, he blinked and asked.
"Loshanda, how is your majesty doing on the southern front?..."
"Teacher, your majesty is fine... The news of the arrival of the evil demon from the East Sea has spread throughout the Alliance and the Kingdom. Your majesty's divinity is real, even the nobles and priests of the Alliance are in awe!..."
"The Alliance's high priests were originally secretly fighting with the Kingdom's priests for the missionary power of the Otomian tribes... But when your majesty's prophecy came true, the middle and low-level priests sent by the Alliance to the Otomian tribes all changed their attitudes and even began to lean towards your majesty who was inspired by God..."
"It is said that in the western states of the Alliance bordering the kingdom, many noble manors and rural villages have enshrined wooden statues of the God of Death. However, the local Alliance priests did not take any action to stop it... In fact, your majesty has become the only living great prophet in the history of the Alliance!..."
Loshanda said a lot, and Chimer also listened patiently. After a long while, Chimer sighed with a long voice.
"Lord God! Divinity is like real gold in the fire. The more it burns, the more it shines!..."
"This is the only great prophet in the history of the alliance who is alive!..."
"And your majesty obeyed the call of the God King, and was completely loyal and public-spirited, without breaking his promise! Everyone saw it... Everyone saw it!..."
"This is the credibility of loyalty and the prestige of the prophet!... No matter what the God King thinks, he has to bow his head and agree... Once your majesty dies, not only the various departments of the kingdom... Even the various states of the alliance and the various branches of the royal family will..."
"Lord God bless! Your majesty's safety is finally no longer a problem!..."
Chimer sighed for a long time, and his heart was happy and much more stable. He then asked about the arrangements of the northern ports and several important kingdom priests.
"Loshanda, you went all the way north... The chief priest Ke Yuan of Xishan Port and the chief priest Ke Jie of Beigang, these two honorable chief priests... has His Majesty rewarded them?..."
"Teacher, the two priests Ke Yuan and Ke Jie were promoted to the third-level chief priests by the royal order you brought two years ago. How could they be rewarded so soon?... However, the fleet did bring some feather clothes, turquoise, spices, honey and sacred smoke as rewards from the kingdom to the priests!..."
Then, Loshanda looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said softly.
"Teacher... the priest elders of the royal capital don't actually want to reward too many chief priests in the northern missionary area... After all, if these chief priests are transferred back to the kingdom, they will be equivalent to priest elders, and even have to join the priest elders group and take over important positions..."
"According to the current situation, it is estimated that there are only four permanent chief priests in the entire northern missionary area, responsible for the four newly divided coastal archdioceses! The divine priests and preaching priests of each port can serve as the heads of the four northern archdioceses, which means they compete with each other..."
"The Lord God is a witness! At present, these four positions have been given to three and one has been appointed, which is completely full!..."
