After listening to their report, George nodded and gave a few words of encouragement to Duke.
The old man said very well, or he saw that this is indeed the appearance - the residents again has been treated as a holy place, so there is no discomfort. Instead, they were hopeful and full of hope for the future. So everything is business as usual for everyone, compared to the previous just a change of a better place.
Duke also mentioned that many people were discussing what they should do for the lord lord, and also a small number of people began to develop some confusion.
"It's good that you have such ideas, Duke. If all of us do nothing and just wait for the gods' help, the God of Asylum, I'm afraid, will then give up on us."
These words let Duke and others deeply thought, Duke as an artisan, in favor of the seven gods among the 'God of Creation', so he knows that often only the most diligent people, can get the gods of the real shelter.
Of course, the harder you work, the more fortunate you will be...
After the chat, George confessed his 'life' to the public - he was born in St. Vermilion's Cathedral, and was a great cleric of the Cathedral. He was guided to this place by the God of refuge.
And this is his hometown.
"Maybe that's why the God of Refuge chose to guide me." George sighed and then looked up and said: "The disaster in the valley is very serious, and I, as the local lord and magistrate, naturally have that inescapable responsibility. And you are the first batch of builders to create the land of salvation, and from among you, will also be born the first batch of 'God people'."
God people, this word makes Duke and others hearts full of yearning - this God people often associated with the 'holy son' (down to the arm of heaven), and only that holy son will soon descend to the land, there will be God people appear.
Often by the magistrates with the title of 'God's people', are able to enter the Holy Court, and many archbishops, the great knights of the Church, are also mostly God's people origin - they are often the first row of followers of the descending Son!
In the history, there was a pope, is that descending 'seat angel'!
In Duke and other people's excited imagination, George continued to entice up. And at this time everyone in the tavern, when looking at this person, the gaze is already more and more hot.
That the matter of the holy sword, today has been in everyone into the holy land when the escorts as that bragging rights to spread the word. The owner of the sacred sword has never deliberately mentioned this matter, nor has he shown everyone this 'holy object' that should not be shown off from time to time. This makes the mysterious person who comes from nowhere, the layer of mysterious glow of the body more and more dazzling.
At this time in the eyes of Duke and others, the shadow of the 'holy son' constantly overlap with the person in front of him, for this person's words, is also more and more convinced.
"The situation of this territory, everyone has seen today. There was a catastrophe here... This calamity, for my father was a disbelief, but for the inhabitants of the valley was a blessing - the calamity drew the attention of the God of Asylum, and also drew the mercy of the gods..."
The crowd could not help but bow their heads at these words, and prayed silently.
As George said, this past disaster, and this present 'place of salvation' is not contradictory - because that God is precisely because of this calamity, will look at this place. It was because of this calamity that God set his eyes on this place. It was because of this calamity that he gave priority to pitying the valley in Rodunk, which needed to be pitied the most.
"The situation in the kingdom of Rodunk is already extremely serious, but this valley is not peaceful either - there is a great calamity coming, and this place of salvation is the only shelter of peace. But to keep this place sheltered from the wind and rain, so that the gods can grant more divine grace, we must rely on our own hands, so that the gods of refuge will consider us worthy of salvation."
George's gaze burned into the crowd: "As this first group of God's people, you also have a responsibility!"
"My Lord!" Old Duke stood up excitedly, nearly knocking over the clay bowl on the table: "You are our leader, we all follow you!"
These words made the few young men nod their heads fiercely. Even a group of bandits, at this moment, could not wait to get their hoes and prove themselves immediately.
"Master! Say it, what all do we need to do!" "Please don't worry! The village is full of hard-working people!"
George gently pressed his hand, and the crowd gradually quieted down with his gesture: "The God of Asylum has given us mercy and attention, but at the same time has given us a test - among you, not all of you are qualified to stay here forever. Only those who are truly hardworking and generous can earn that divine grace..."
That night, George sent the mission out.
At the same time there is about the zombies, George also informed the crowd - this matter can not be hidden. And those zombies will come many every day, clearing not clean.
So not only to inform them, after also have to rely on the people of the territory to deal with these zombies to do.
Old Duke and other people at this time the heart of the fire has not faded, natural mouth full of promise. But wait until tomorrow this more than 100 people inside, in the end how many people can be the same as him, still have to see tomorrow.
...
In the evening after Duke and others went back, they mobilized one family overnight. The plan of Duke is very well done, including which people do those things, are thinking clearly, feel sure to let everyone have something to do, each in their own way.
And in accordance with the Lord of the Lord's previous proposal, in order to speed up the efficiency of the work of the people do not fire alone, everyone turned in all the food, the future by a special person unified cooking, everyone equally distributed the rest of the food, toil together to eat together.
Someone even vowed that tomorrow suddenly everyone did not do enough work, he would not go to dinner!
Looking at the few torches that were burning and walking in the territory, George nodded his head. He believed that old Duke had conveyed all his words tonight.
But I wonder if he can collect everyone's food - how much food there is in the village, we all know... George through the scroll, even that everyone usually hid the food is known. But in everyone's opinion, it was not.
And a total of two bowls of rice at home, save it as a lifesaver, really want to hand over...
Perhaps, I'm afraid that only that seven gods descend to the world, it is possible to have such strength - but first have to turn out some food, to prove that they are not evil demons play to...
So, the first day in the territory, the lord who announced that 'never raise taxes', announced that he would collect food, a policy that would make people too worried.
So the territory in the noise, but the old Duke in the end they 'scavenged' up how much food, I'm afraid really quite a lot to say ...
Whoever has more, take it... Anyway, they hide this food, everyone does not know, they think their neighbors have no food it.
George knew that the face of that life-saving food, and the trust of the neighbors, the lord. No matter how good they lulled, that the future painted how beautiful, this is still a great choice for the villagers.
Putting together, it may not be able to tomorrow's breakfast - as long as someone slightly wait and see then, all collapse ...
So, he told everyone that there is still a lot of food in the basement of the barn, but to collect the grain in the fields first, and then open the barn - if everyone can settle down and harvest up that food around the shelter near at hand, then everything is fine, food will no longer be a problem. As for the matter of the barn, he also has a way to fool the past.
But if there is that person inciting trouble, then do not blame God angry ...
Just as well, to pick out these black sheep - if there are such people, sooner or later will be bad.
"Everyone knows the location of the barn, and the wheat in the field is just around the corner. So, the good option and the bad option are in front of everyone's eyes. It's up to everyone to decide how to choose..."
George closed the canon in his hand, he believed that no matter how much said smallpox, no matter how true the story lulled into the eyes of people, sometimes may not be able to withstand the test of the human heart ...
Tomorrow, whether good or bad things happen, he has arrangements.
...
The water inside the fire pit cauldron was boiling, and Martin was mixing hot and cool water in a large basin while giving the lord a good scrubbing. There were also several escorts hanging George's hands and feet, washing his hair and clothes.
George was naked in public, not ashamed at all.
He looked at the warm flames in the fire pit, his eyes followed the flow of the map in the fire.
Outside the zombies are already more and more. Now with this situation in the territory, these zombies tonight, is not referring to the residents.
In addition to Alexander, the strongest fighting force in the whole territory, is the unreliable escorts in front of you, as well as the black sheep in the territory.
Therefore, before the establishment of the guard, we still have to count on these 'God's guards' before us...
Otherwise, tomorrow the inhabitants will look at the zombies outside, even if they want to work, they can't do it.
The more they gather, the more they have to clean up tonight.
I don't know if it's because of the residual smell during the day, plus the reason for not cleaning up much during the day, so the monsters around the territory are getting more and more. At a rough glance, I'm afraid there are 80 or 90 zombies! Together with the wolves, there are more monsters out there, a little more than the shelter!
The zombies were still very scattered right now, but I'm afraid it wouldn't take long - it was likely that after this night's gathering, a corpse swarm would appear tomorrow.
'Oh? There's actually a thing in the mill? When Alexander and I left the day before yesterday, we obviously put the broken door in place and locked it... This is not a zombie or a wolf, and the lazy look is not like a ghost, is it a new monster? Something that can climb in through the roof of the shed?'
George made a special observation and found that the frequency of the thing moving was indeed very different from the ghost.
''A new monster has already appeared ah...'' George shook his head and checked the current danger level of the territory, which was [Very Dangerous].
''Fortunately, it's not critical. That means we can still deal with it... Well, it's good that I don't have to specially put zombies inside the barn anymore.''
