Chapter 549: Lanqi Begins Repairing the Statue

The independent city-state of Grete Stone Castle, also known as Little Stone City.

The cold northern snowfield became hazy in the light before dawn, and the temple of Little Stone City had already been brightly lit and people were everywhere.

Although it was already eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was still not white.

In this city-state, the daytime is only about six or seven hours.

"I heard that today is the ceremony presided over by Lord Algom himself."

"And the priests will also supervise the human craftsmen from the Polant Empire."

"It has been many years since I saw a great craftsman who dared to take on the repair work. For an artist who is capable of repairing the statue, this reward is nothing at all."

Not to mention the risk of running from the comfortable central city of the human empire to the land of eternal night.

At present, most of the orc residents believe that this is a show of goodwill from the royal family of the Polant Empire. The royal family sent a noble and patriotic craftsman who is willing to risk his life to come and make friends with the orcs in this situation.

Many orcs gathered inside and outside the temple and talked about it.

Their faces were full of expectation and piety.

As for whether they would be satisfied later, it would depend on whether the craftsman's own level was as reliable as the royal family of Polant guaranteed.

Otherwise, if they were fooled, it would only make them extremely angry.

The interior of the rock temple was decorated solemnly and neatly.

The tall stone pillars were engraved with totems engraved by the bear people since ancient times, and the walls reflected the murals and patterns symbolizing the god of rock and soil, shining under the lights.

At the edge of the altar in the main hall, the layers of barriers were unlocked.

The statue of the god of rock and shelter was revealed.

This statue was carved from ancient black granite rich in magic energy, about three meters high, and every maintenance detail showed the respect that the bear people had for it from generation to generation.

The expression on the face of the statue was firm and calm, and his hands were tightly holding a huge stone hammer, as if symbolizing strength and commitment.

The orc priests in the temple wore traditional sacrificial clothes of Gretel Stone Castle and started praying early. The atmosphere was tense and solemn.

The Grand Lord of Little Rock, Algom, and Priest Elena were waiting here in advance, and there were also many city-state dignitaries who witnessed and appreciated the statue repair ceremony.

As time passed, Ranchi, who had changed into a loose work suit, walked into the temple.

Sieglei stood far away at the side of the temple entrance, watching him.

Now the temple is actually safe, and she is only responsible for taking Ranchi away in case he does not do a good job.

Ranchi's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all orcs, and there was silence inside the temple.

"Thank you very much to Queen Keshia for letting her royal craftsmen help us repair the statue."

Grand Lord Algom solemnly shook Ranchi's hand.

"Thank you for your trust in me."

Ranchi responded with a smile.

The seventh-level Grand Lord in front of him, a tall and mighty bear orc, is two meters tall, and is also the guardian of this orc city-state.

He is the orc lord closest to humans in the Land of Eternal Night.

He has thick white hair and deep black eyes. Although he looks rough and fierce to the invaders, he is also full of the wisdom of a leader and can manage Little Rock City to prosperity for a long time.

However, Lanqi only thinks that this bear orc warrior is cute and furry. The orcs in this world are quite good-looking.

"Mr. Rocky, I wonder if you know Mr. Sebas, he is from your Polant Empire and is now the representative of the branch of the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce in our Little Rock City."

The Grand Lord Algom quickly introduced Lanqi to the priests and the city-state dignitaries attending the ceremony, including humans.

"I'm sorry, except for meeting Queen Keshia, I usually concentrate on my work and rarely deal with unfamiliar dignitaries."

Lanqi responded to the temptation of the Grand Lord Algom.

In the few days in Helsarem, he had heard of the "Shengshi Chamber of Commerce" organization-

It is said that in troubled times, it can still provide you with the most thoughtful service.

"Oh?"

Grand Lord Algom looked at the Sebastian Branch Chief.

Lanqi followed the sight of Grand Lord Algom. The Sebastian Branch Chief introduced by the Grand Lord was a handsome man in his thirties, with sharp blue eyes and neatly combed dark brown short hair.

"It doesn't matter. We know each other now. Soon we will also be able to see Mr. Rocky's level."

Sebastian Branch Chief replied very naturally.

Lanqi could probably see that before they met, Grand Lord Algom and Sebastian Branch Chief might have talked about him, Rocky McCarthy, for a while, but out of respect for Queen Keshia and Lanqi's flawless response, they could not raise any more questions.

After Grand Lord Algom completed the basic procedures, he faced the people inside and outside the main hall of the temple.

"I want to introduce a great artist to you. He is the court craftsman favored by the Queen in the Polant Empire, and the Prime Minister of the Polant Empire has also vouched for his skills, Mr. Rocky McCarthy!"

He introduced Lanqi to the orcs.

Then there was a cheer.

In the corner of the temple, Siegler was a little worried.

These orcs had not heard of the news of the Polant Empire, so they would not question the royal craftsman Master Rocky McCarthy too much, which was normal.

The problem was that as a Polant Empire person, she had never heard of the name of this craftsman.

In her opinion, Ranchi is not enough to complete the repair work of [The Rock and the Statue of Shelter].

【Rock and the Statue of Shelter】

[Type: Artwork]

[Grade: Sacred (Damaged)]

【Rank: 1】

[Those who admire this statue will recover a small amount of mental and physical strength, and their faith in the God of Rock and Sanctuary will increase slightly. Due to years of natural wear and tear, its effect has been reduced by half. 】

At the fifth level, she could temporarily use appraisal magic to discern the attributes of the ancient ruined statue.

If a work of art treasure of this level is even slightly damaged, it will be discovered by the orc priests present, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Add a little more oil..."

Sigre said to herself,

"If you can't finish the job and just go home, I won't make much money."

According to the contract, Lan Qi had to complete as much repair work as possible. Only by successfully sending Lan Qi to the Demon Realm along the way according to the schedule could she get the full maximum escort fee.

If her employer failed like this, she would be in a bad mood.

But the problem is, according to Sigre's understanding, in the entire Polante Empire today, it would be good to find one or two great craftsmen who are capable of repairing sacred works of art.

And even if your skill level is sufficient, if you don't perform well, you may make mistakes.

One can only hope that her employer really has a lot of skills and is not an aristocratic gentleman who only shows off his status.

There are still two chapters left, and they will be finished before ten o'clock.
