Chapter 201 A City Like the Kingdom of God (4k) (Additional Update 7)
Chapter 201 A city like the kingdom of God... (4k) (7 additional chapters)
Five days.
Five consecutive days!
For five consecutive days, Xiao Guoren spent her time in worry and tension.
She is a cat person from the Eternal Frozen Council.
She was originally a person in a lower plane under a noble of the Eternal Frozen Council. Later, she was captured by the noble and became a slave, and then sold to the chief of the Holy Life Alliance Gnoll Tribe.
Her five years of darkness began.
The cruel Gnoll would only play with her crazily and eat her twelve children in five years, on the grounds that the blood of the Gnoll must be pure.
When her youngest daughter was decomposed by the Gnoll Chief and given to other people in the tribe to eat when she was two months old, she killed the Gnoll Chief with sorrel one night.
And when she thought she would be humiliated and eaten by the Gnolls the next day, a priest saved her and took her back.
This is the human god-the priest of the beginning of hope.
"You have strong hope, but it's a pity that you are not a virgin, otherwise we can serve our Lord together." That's what the young priest said.
So Xiao Guoren stayed and worked for the priest in the Temple of Hope in the abyss.
Fortunately, the priest was very powerful and could protect her.
But unfortunately, they fell in love.
At the beginning of hope, the human god is actually the "God of Children" in essence, but in order to comprehend more laws, he modified the scope of his priesthood a thousand years ago.
The doctrine of the beginning of hope is to make people as hopeful as children, and the most fundamental commandment is to keep one's body pure.
Their minds should be used where children are used.
Their strength should be used to protect the pure hearts like children.
So, when the priest's heart already had something like love, his divine power was directly banned.
This is nothing, the priest has been captured by love, and it's nothing to say that he can't advance.
However, just when they were holding hands and kissing, they were discovered by the high priest, who ordered the priest to be executed.
Execution!
Dare to do this in the abyss, under the eyes of the gods, must be executed!
However, as Xiao Guoren is not a member of the temple, the high priest has no power to target her, but only expelled her from the temple.
This is reasonable. In the plane where she used to be, not only would the priest die, she would definitely be buried with him, and her family would be implicated.
This is the superiority of Naseng.
However, she is not happy.
"Live well."
This is what the priest said when he saw her for the last time.
On the first day after the death of the priest, she was heartbroken, on the 100th day, she was depressed, and in the fifth year, she lost all hope in life, like a walking corpse.
Then, she saw the newspaper.
Twenty-four characters, twelve phrases, three aspects. (To prevent harmony, everyone understands.)
The words condensed from the three levels of power, society and individuals are the best portrayal of Dahuang City.
In the newspaper, there is also a description of the core idea of Dahuang City:
Dahuang City is a wealthy and powerful force, a civilized and harmonious force, and the people here have a certain degree of autonomy.
In it, everyone is born equal, there is no respect for the noble and the humble, everyone can have freedom under the rule of law, and the law enforcers are fair.
And the people living in Dahuang City respect each other, respect all walks of life, and are honest and friendly.
Seeing the description of Dahuang in the newspaper, Xiao Guoren was stunned.
She had never heard of such a place!
These things, even the most benevolent lord can't do it? !
Those hypocritical gods can't do it even more!
Even the hometown of Xiao Guoren, in that secondary plane, the most beautiful kingdom of God described by those low-level gods can't compare.
However, if this is the Count Lin Ke who can fight against the eldest prince at the age of six, the Count Lin Ke who is so smart that even His Majesty Wumian praises him, then it is possible...
Sitting in the tavern drinking malt liquor, Xiao Guoren was moved.
She didn't want to live in a muddle anymore!
She wanted to live well with the will of the priest!
So, she bought a newspaper almost every month, and after reading the news of Dahuang City on the spot, she sold the newspaper at the door of the newspaper seller at a price cheaper than one silver coin.
She was saving money!
Xiao Guoren made up her mind to save money and wait for that day to come!
Because the newspaper said that only Azan coins could be used in Dahuang City, and that kind of Azan coins needed to be exchanged at a certain exchange rate.
There, you have to pay for anything you buy, even for Earl Lin Ke, who is the lord.
Like the house there, you also need to spend money to buy it!
It's just that for some poor civilians, the Dahuang Bank in Dahuang City also provides loan services, which can be used to buy houses with interest-free loans, and then pay part of the money every month later.
These measures are similar to the Temple of Wealth, but there are some subtle and essential differences.
But Xiao Guoren didn't want to borrow money, so she decided to save money! Then buy a house of your own, work and live there well, and leave this sad abyss.
So she accepted tasks crazily and made money crazily.
She is a [Killer]!
A third-level [Killer]!
She took on missions at the Mercenary Guild and had joined an organization called "Scarlet Great Wilderness" a few years ago. While taking on missions, she also sold intelligence.
So, she saved money very quickly.
Especially when she heard her colleagues at Scarlet Great Wilderness say that the legendary "Crow" at the top of the Scarlet Great Wilderness organization she joined was one of the two legends of Great Wilderness City, Xiao Guoren was even more excited.
She gave up the missions of the Mercenary Guild directly and focused on the missions of Scarlet Great Wilderness.
And just one year later, the news that Great Wilderness City was recruiting citizens was finally published in the newspaper!
…
"You are very nervous."
When Xiao Guoren was secretly nervous, a warm voice suddenly came from the side.
Xiao Guoren frowned, put down the newspaper in his hand and looked over.
At this time, where she was sitting was the expanded street of Parrot City. There were some seats on the street, which were built by Earl Lin Ke for pedestrians to rest.
She has a nice figure and delicate skin. Ninety-nine percent of her body looks like a human, with only her furry ears and tail showing her uniqueness.
Therefore, after the priest was executed, Xiao Guoren also caused a lot of trouble, and later had an opportunity to be enlightened and employed as a [killer].
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Guoren looked at the person in front of him. He looked ordinary, had no professional power, and his eyes were cloudy. It seemed that he had never been enlightened.
"Nothing, just to get to know each other. My name is Lao Ren. I was a member of the defense of Azanen. After death, I was resurrected by His Majesty Wumian."
The man named Lao Ren introduced himself, and then said politely: "I can see that you are very nervous. Have you also applied for an ID card in Dahuang City?"
Xiao Guoren didn't want to talk, but she suddenly felt that this man was also nervous, and might even be more nervous than her.
The man sat down just to find someone to talk to and relieve his nervousness.
Who knew that Xiao Guoren's avoidance made Lao Ren not step forward to ask and talk.
This is the "gender relationship", "gentlemanly manners" and "lady manners" mentioned by Master Lin Ke in the newspaper.
But Xiao Guoren's eyes have changed.
This man was once a soldier of Azhanen!
He also applied for an ID card for Dahuang City!
He must know a lot of things!
Xiao Guoren instantly became very interested and looked at the man named Lao Ren: "Have you participated in the defense of Azhanen before?"
The defense of Azhanen!
This is Earl Lin Ke's description of this war.
From the outside world's point of view, this refers to the war that Earl Lin Ke had to fight to defend Azhanen.
From Lin Ke's point of view, this refers to the people of Azhanen fighting to defend their homeland under his leadership.
And Xiao Guoren, his view is actually the same as that of most people in the outside world, that Lin Ke fought to defend his territory.
"Yes!" Speaking of the defense of Azhanen, the man named Lao Ren in front of him couldn't help but touch his cheek, where he could vaguely see the three marks of the monster's claws.
"Can you tell me about it?"
Xiao Guoren is actually a crazy admirer of Count Lin Ke. She read some of Lin Ke's concept descriptions of the Great Wilderness City in the newspaper and felt that Lin Ke was the most benevolent god in the world.
She knew that those nobles, those who had never been slaves or civilians, could not understand the kind of home described by Lin Ke.
She had some doubts in her heart before, but when she came to Azaan with great effort, she found that this place had been almost transformed by Count Lin Ke, so she believed it.
It's not the outside that has been transformed, but the inside!
The outside of Azaan is almost the same as before, although the cities have been expanded a lot.
But the inside...
First of all, the barons, lords and other noble lords in Azaan now have no legislative and law enforcement powers, only political participation.
In the end, the legislative and law enforcement powers are all executed by the Family Council, and who has the final say in the Family Council, those who understand will understand.
In addition, the tax system of farmers has indeed been reformed, and the scope of Azaan's farmland has increased several times!
Under the premise that private property is sacred and inviolable, the farmers are full of enthusiasm to open up wasteland, which also leads to too much food in Azann to eat.
Of course, during this period, Count Lin Ke also asked people to make the excess food into wine, alcohol and other things, and then sell them directly to the outside world, so that the farmers in Azann live a rich life.
In addition to these, there are actually changes in all aspects, and these changes make Xiao Guoren feel a sense.
That is, Azann seems to be more "fashionable" than the capital of the Gula Kingdom, the Abyss.
And the most fashionable place in Azann in the future, or in Xiao Guoren's heart, the most fashionable place in the entire Naseng in the future, will be the Great Wasteland City!
So, Xiao Guoren is actually a crazy admirer of Lin Ke. Many times she thinks that when she and the priest worked under Lin Ke, Count Lin Ke, who advocates freedom of love, will definitely bless them, right?
"Master Lin Ke, that is really a great man!" Hearing that Xiao Guoren wanted to know about the defense of Azann, Lao Ren didn't know how many outsiders he had talked about it, but at this time he was still very interested.
Master Lin Ke felt that he was mediocre, and even wrote in the newspapers countless times that he was not doing well enough and had many shortcomings.
But the Azan people had a different view.
They all had a fanatical worship of Lin Ke, even more fanatical than the believers when they prayed in the Temple of Wealth.
"Master Lin Ke, his teacher is a powerful legend. Lord Aof, you know, the young master could have fled and evaded like many nobles, but he stayed for the sake of us..."
Speaking of Lin Ke, there was a special light in Lao Ren's eyes.
Xiao Guoren listened carefully to what Lao Ren said.
This benefactor of Azan named Lao Ren was actually a squad leader before?
Ordinary people become squad leaders?
However, in Xiao Guoren's opinion, although this old man is not a professional, he has tight muscles and should be very skilled.
Lao Ren talked to him about various things, his tone full of admiration for Lin Ke.
Xiao Guoren became more and more curious about Lin Ke.
Later, Lao Ren talked about Dahuang City.
"...The Great Desolate City, Master Lin Ke's country! I bet that even the kingdom of the gods, even the abyss, is not as good as the Great Desolate City!"
Lao Ren's tone was full of pride, or in other words, every Azan benefactor would be very proud when talking about this!
abyss? Xiao Guoren glanced at Lao Ren.
Although she also thinks that Great Desert City is very good, as someone who has been in the abyss, she still knows the horror of the abyss.
But she also knew that Great Desert City was different from the Abyss, otherwise she wouldn't have to spend all her savings rushing here.
"Then do you also need to apply? Apply for an ID card?" After saying so much, Xiao Guoren was a little curious.
"Yes, I want to apply for it too." Lao Ren smiled and said, "The young master has given us a lot of pensions, pensions, and retirement benefits, which is enough for us to buy a lot of things."
As he said that, Lao Ren shook his head: "However, I still want to follow the young master. At least I can see the young master's back again the next time there is a battle."
"Am I going to take the lead in the charge?" Xiao Guoren showed her girlish mentality for the first time in a long time.
"Yes, I want to follow the young master's back." Lao Ren nodded firmly, with an inexplicable brilliance shining in his eyes.
Xiaoguoren knew that this brilliance was the same as when the priest prayed at the Temple of the Beginning of Hope!
This is the light of faith!
"Dahuang City, a great city..." Xiao Guoren couldn't help but whisper, and then became more nervous and eager to be included in the screening.
"Dahuang City is destined to become a great country!" Lao Ren said firmly.
While they were chatting, they heard a large group of people coming out of the city gate.
Those were secretaries, servants and other staff members who were in a hurry!
Lao Ren and Xiao Guoren looked at each other, then immediately stood up and walked over very quickly.
The results are out!
The list of the first batch of citizens to be recruited is out!
The leading scribe stretched out his hand, and under his power, pieces of Azan paper were pasted around the wall of Parrot City before its expansion, that is, the wall of the inner city.
What is recorded on this paper is the list!
Because it was said at noon that there would be no update today, but now there is an update. Is this considered a surprise? ? ?
We are not straight men, but we are romantic hehe~
