wandering fairy

.The next few days came along a wide road, an agricultural area.On the two legs of the road, you can see some simple farmland and some neat houses.It's just that spring has come, but there is no one in sight, not even a single livestock!It still looks like a bleak autumn day.

Dong Linzi murmured to himself: "It's strange that I checked many rooms with my Qi element, but I didn't see a single person, and there was not even a valuable thing, but gold left some old furniture that couldn't be moved. Could it be that they all fled the famine? Gone?. No one can answer his question. Not many, but everyone saw some figures flying from the distant sky one after another, or a few rangers riding a sharp-grabbing griffin that is stronger than a buffalo. Laihong, or some Sindaker believers flying close to the low altitude to boom, for a while, there were griffins flying up and down in Sandaker's team, and the guards slid down and down, which was a bit imposing.

After walking forward for another two or three days, I still occasionally saw some hilly farmland on both sides of the gold, but they all turned into ruins. On the farmland, some dead bones of livestock and piles of ashes were still visible.It seems that it has experienced a great war or been swept repeatedly by the bandits of Dagu.Suddenly, two tall, strong and majestic mountains protruded from the plain and hills, like two giant snakes running across the land. A majestic and sturdy castle was slightly exposed on each of the two mountains. The one on the right was built around the mountain. The fort is almost as small as the whole body, like a giant beast crouching and gradually calming down. The murderous aura hidden in it seems to be hard to shake after several generations of continuous reinforcement.The one on the left is full of tall towers and flying golden flags. It looks like it stands proudly in the mountains and forests, overlooking the valleys, and it is difficult to climb high.And the appearance is smooth and shiny with roof tiles, unlike something that has been built for a long time.It's just that the two majestic fortresses are all hidden among the mountains, stones and trees, so Jin can't see clearly.

And between the two mountains, there is a blue-gray town with a low city wall. Jin leans against a mountain foot and quietly lies beside the road.When I got a little closer, I saw that there were still a large number of fleeing farmers with their families and their families scattered outside the city.Those who are a little richer drive some donkey carts and ox carts and pile up some baskets filled with household items; those who are poor have only one pole and two baskets.Just like that, 2000 people scattered outside the city walls gradually looked like a refugee camp.Their eyes kept looking towards the road between the two mountains, and they saw that there was no obstacle to Jin's access at all.But these people sighed and sighed, as if they had walked over and dared not leave.

The Sandakol Church, which had already walked outside the city, did not enter the city. Instead, it took a turn and ran to the end of the nearest mountain range, then climbed to the mountainside and stationed there.Then they actually started camping on the spot, setting up banners and building some crude altars!A posture ready to settle down for a long time.

Rafenner asked himself curiously: "What's the matter with them? Are they not leaving? There is trouble ahead? Everyone shrugged their shoulders angrily, but Xiandel spoke up after being bored for a while: "Well, maybe the front There are rebels fighting the king's army again.So these fleeing people are stuck here

Grimm next to him asked again: "Why do you want to run away? I think the fields on both sides of the road are not bad? Where can they run like this? It was Ponuk who spoke this time: "Hmph !Isn't that just heavy taxation?Now it's even more taxing to fight a war!If you don't leave, you won't be able to pay yourself if you sell yourself.Just wait for the army to die in battle.The abandoned villages on both sides of the road may be hard to record, so I ran here.In the future, the more the tax is imposed, the heavier the bombardment will be, and the more people will flee.Some look good.Xiandale next to him gave him another glance.But it was surprisingly acquiesced.

Dong Linzi pointed to a dome-shaped shimmering golden light slightly revealed in the city and gradually asked: "Is that a dome? I remember that the temple of the Mother Earth God I saw before seemed to be like this. This time it is a fairy Dale spoke: "That is indeed a temple of the Mother Earth.In fact, there was no town here.There is only this temple of the Goddess of the Earth. Later, traders gradually gathered here, and gradually prospered, and finally expanded the city.In fact the whole city is under the administration of the temple

Grimm and Raffner asked curiously together: "How do you know this? Have you lived here before?" But Xiandel responded with some evasiveness: "I have been here. I was originally from the North Sensalo Empire People here know a little bit about things here.

Grimm asked excitedly again: "So the temple of gold should be very rich! Think about it, everyone gathers gold merchants to slowly prosper, and it's all under the management of the temple. Damn it! You know how much you can smoke! The golden light on the top must be a gold piece! Go in and have a look. Anyway, the Church of Sandakol will not be able to leave for a while. Unless the war in front subsides, Dong Neighbor has secretly ordered a few After a small fully transparent air element continued to monitor the Scientology Center under construction on the mountainside, it nodded and said, "It's also good to see how magnificent this temple is. Sexuality.boom boom

When he approached the town, he found that the city gate was wide open and there were no guards, so Jin walked in carelessly.Surrounded by narrow alleyways and residential buildings on uneven heights, they are piled up in such a disorderly manner, and the barely vacant gaps in the middle are the so-called "streets are full of gold, and even the wooden signs protruding from some bars almost cross the street." I went to the window of the opposite house. It’s really an unplanned place. Jin is really not a regular city. Presumably most of the people here are small traders who settled down.

But even in such a tacky town, there is still not much life. Most of the doors and windows are closed.After opening the hood, steel rods and iron bars were used to turn the buildings into small prisons.Occasionally open grocery stores and taverns are also deserted, and the boss's eyes are low.Seems like it's going bankrupt

Through

After a few people walked through and saw King Kong just stepping into the spacious temple square, they gradually realized that even the originally wealthy and overbearing Temple of the Mother Earth Goddess was about to go bankrupt, and a group of people covered in patches were actually demolishing the big dome. Beautiful golden foil! Except for a few priests directing the dismantling work below, I didn’t see half of the tourists, worshipers, etc. It really looks like a bankrupt liquidation.

This time, Dong Neighbor, who has always been calm, was also very surprised: "What are they doing? Are they forced to demolish? Are the god statues, Ni gem decorations, and Hong illusion murals also demolished? Gradually, everyone became interested, so they pretended to be ordinary pilgrims and entered inside.

It was actually demolished!

This is a spacious hall about three or four stories high.Except for some natural statues and exquisite surroundings, all other valuable decorations on Sibi Mountain have been dismantled, like a big rooster whose feathers have been plucked.Naked looks very funny.Of course, illuminated by a huge pillar of golden light directly in front, there is still the plump statue of the kindly aunt, the Mother Earth Goddess.The whole body is made of brilliant brass, the head is still shining with golden light, and the feet are still like waves of golden wheat.An enviable look of abundance and harvest.

It's just that now she can't even keep the temple she lives in, not to mention the refugees fleeing outside the city.It was some kind of irony.

Dong Youzi and others also donated a few gold coins to the temple, and then asked the priest in charge of the money: "What happened here? Why is your temple tearing down its inner and outer decorations now? Even the golden roof outside Is it going to be demolished? Is it relocation?" And this low-level priest thought he was a rural mercenary, the priest of the air element god, brought a few low-level mages and two warriors and waited to see them throwing gold coins like biscuits Kim realized something was wrong this time.Then he replied solemnly: "You are a foreigner and don't know the situation. Actually, the things inside are not being demolished now, but have been demolished since last year. Because there was a relatively serious drought last year, wait until the autumn and winter seasons." But suddenly came the frost, and most of the harvest was destroyed. But at this time, the rebels and the king's army came here to fight for several months. Every month, the king's army came to us to collect taxes. Many people in the area couldn’t afford the money. Our bishop was kind, so he paid part of it for them. When we ran out of money, we had to dismantle all the decorations and sell them. But the two sides fought until now Before a winner is decided, the monthly tax on food, gold and silver is getting heavier and heavier. You see, there are now a thousand or two thousand fugitives. The remaining farmers and even some knights can't afford it. The gold rushes here one after another Come to pray. After our bishop consulted the goddess, he ordered people to remove the gold leaf on the dome and the gemstones on the glass of the gods and buy some money to fill this hole. Otherwise, there will be more refugees.

Alas, when the war broke out, Jin didn't know what the outcome would be.bang

Everyone was "Oh. There was a bang, but Xiandel suddenly asked in a low voice: "Are those rebels the army of Jianing?How are they doing?In short, Mu Bei, the mother god of the earth, felt that her tone was strange.Looking up carefully, there was a faint light on the woman's head, like a small white jade horn, and a round of "anti-evil magic circle" unique to unicorns appeared on it, and Ni was immediately surprised. He blurted out: "Madam Jin, are you a follower of God Lamiao?boom,

Seeing Xiandair nodded, the priest said: "It seems that you must have received special favor from the gods. It's really enviable. The rebels nearby are led by one of Jianing's subordinates. It is said that they and The goblins in the mountain come and go very frequently. I don’t know where they got a lot of magic items, and they gradually used the terrain to hold back the king’s army. As for the leader of the Jianing headquarters, it is said that they have already occupied a duke’s territory in the middle of the empire. They are raising Stock up and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Gradually
