The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 20 Plans for a Chapel
After settling on the deal, Hogg returned with the caravan from Wushan Town.

However, when passing near Finlay City, he asked the caravan and the young men in the town to return to the town with weapons, while he went to Finlay City.

The purpose of going to Fenlai City was very clear, to build a small church in Wushan Town.

In the original historical trajectory, because the medical conditions in Wushan Town were so poor, their parents went to Finlay City before their second son Wharton was born.

In Fenlai City, Linna gave birth to little Wharton safely, and then the couple's mother took little Wharton to the Temple of Light to pray for Wharton.

This prayer will ruin things!
Discovered by Clyde, who had not long been king at the time, Lina was taken away and given to the Holy See of Light, which started the tragedy of the Baruch family.

As long as there is a small church in Wushan Town, even if his wife Linna becomes pregnant and gives birth in the future, she does not need to go to Fenlai City. There is a "doctor" in Wushan Town, so she can pray in the town. .

It also prevents Lina from being discovered by a strong person about the secret of her pure soul.

As for the worship in the chapel. . .Since they are all small churches, it is impossible to send some light magicians with average strength at most to discover the secret of Lina's "pure soul".

Being able to peer into the secret of soul purity, Hogg can barely discover it now - and Hogg's mental power has reached the level of a seventh-level magician.

Hogg is also ready to make early plans.

On the one hand, he took time out at night to pass the visualization diagrams to Lina hand-in-hand. Although Lina did not practice as a magician, her mental power continued to increase, and it was indeed able to conceal the specialness of her soul to a certain extent.

On the other hand, Wushan Town built its own small church.

After Hogg donated a thousand gold coins in the Cathedral of Light, he got the opportunity to talk to a priest in white.

The Holy See of Light is a behemoth.

On the surface, there are the eight ace knights responsible for the war, many powerful temple knights, ascetics who travel the world, and the secret that is not a secret - the Inquisition.

But the most superficial ones are missionaries, priests, regional bishops, priests in white, and archbishops in red.

The one at the top of this sequence is naturally the Pope of Light!This is the true leader and giant of the Holy See of Light.

Cardinals, also known as red archbishops and archbishops, are also the core figures of the Holy See of Light. Their status is second only to those in the Holy Realm. There are only five red archbishops in the entire Holy See of Light, and they are all regarded as the future. The strong men from the holy realm come to cultivate them.

Regional bishops, on the other hand, belong to local powerful factions and manage large dioceses on behalf of the pope, with varying status.

The regional bishops are subordinated to missionaries and priests, who serve as the most basic clergy.

In theory, any church needs a bishop to be in charge, and priests to assist regional bishops.But in fact, some small churches do not have bishops, and the priest directly serves as the host.

As for the missionaries, they are the hardest.It's probably like walking around the streets and visiting uncles and aunts to preach. . .To become a missionary, there is no requirement for strength, as long as you are not illiterate and can read the classics of the Holy See.

As for the white-robed priests, this is a rather special class.

Generally speaking, the white priest is the direct subordinate of the red archbishop, and his status is very prominent.Those who can serve as priests in white are at least level seven magicians, and they also hold great power.

Generally speaking, only those unsuccessful priests in white will be sent out to serve as regional bishops - except for some particularly important dioceses.

When the general regional bishops have accumulated enough achievements, they will find a way to return to the center of the Holy See of Light and serve as white priests.The white-clothed priest whom Hogg met was of average status, but even so, he was a person with the same status as an earl and a first-level nobleman. He was a little impatient when facing Hogg at first.

But when he heard Hogg's request to donate [-] gold coins to build a small church in Wushan Town, he became very enthusiastic and agreed immediately!
This did not go beyond Hogg's expectation. It was a very common behavior among nobles to build a small church in their own territory.

Many nobles are willing to please the Holy See of Light, but at the same time they are not willing to have powerful forces in their territory interfere with them.

Building a chapel in one's own territory is a "compromise" and "win-win" approach.This kind of chapel built with donations from nobles belongs to the dual leadership of the nobles receiving the donations and the Holy See, and is beneficial to both parties.

There is one more job position in the Holy See.

For powerful figures in the Holy See, they not only have more political achievements, but also have a position to place their subordinates or relatives, which can increase the cohesion of their subordinates.

Although it cost some gold coins for the noble lords, the goal of pleasing the Holy See was achieved.Moreover, it has little negative impact on his subordinates, but it is of great help.

It's a win-win-win.

Of course, maintaining a small church requires two thousand gold coins per year, but Hogg doesn't care about this gold coin.

Two thousand gold coins is a lot less. . .But it’s really not much.

There are still hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the Baruch family's treasury. If they are used sparingly, they can sustain the family for hundreds of years!

Even if two thousand gold coins are given away every year, it can last for thousands of years.

In this way, the deal is concluded - of course, to the outside world, it is called a donation, and it is called faith in the Lord. Religious matters must be described more euphemistically.

The white-robed priest told Hogg clearly in private that he could start work when he returned.

As long as the chapel is initially established, he will send a priest there. Hogg only needs to "donate" two thousand gold coins to the chapel every year, and the chapel will never interfere with his affairs.

If he is in need, as long as it is a legitimate reason, the priest stationed in the chapel will definitely help. A light magician, even if the level is lower, is also very good at treating injuries and illnesses.

Of course, if you want to ask the light magician to help, there will be a price, and the price is clearly marked.A piece of magic and a few gold coins, no matter how young or old you are.

Hogg was also very satisfied with this and made an agreement with the priest in white. If all goes well, the church in Wushan Town will be built around the Magnolia Festival this year at the latest and completed before the year 9985 of the Magnolia Calendar.

If his second son had been born at the same time as before, then the church would have been established in time.

With this news, Hogg returned to Wushan Town to enjoy family happiness with his family.

Now he must cherish every moment.

The establishment of a chapel actually only postponed the planned disaster without actually relieving the crisis.

His current strength is not enough, not enough.

Want to improve your strength. . .Hogg, who was on his way back to Wushan Town, raised his head and glanced far away in the east direction - where the Warcraft Mountains were.
