Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Just like the protagonists in many novels who travel to a different backward world, Lu De also has a "dream of making guns"!However, limited by local objective conditions, so far, the closest thing he has produced to a gun is the "pine wood cannon" that was well received by villagers when fighting bandits, but that thing has no technical content at all.

Later, the various businesses of the temple expanded, and Lu De temporarily put aside the matter of making guns, and was busy developing the economy first.In the end, I never thought that the three sisters would get it out without making a sound. It was really a surprise.

But when Lude saw the real thing, the excitement that just emerged was immediately completely overwhelmed by the strong desire to complain.

It's really the "fire unicorn"! ?

Looking at the big treasure presented by the three sisters, Shanis turned around the thing with a puzzled expression, not understanding what it was for at all.And Lude directly reached out to pick it up and weighed it twice. The weight was much heavier than he remembered, and the texture of the surface was completely different. It was golden and full of complicated magic runes, giving people a feeling that only super members The feeling of being able to use it.

According to the sketch in Lude's notes, the three sisters took seven days to make a 1:1 highly restored domestic Type 56 submachine gun (round sight).

However, Lude soon discovered that this rifle with extravagant materials and exaggerated appearance and color matching only restored the appearance, and the internal structure was actually completely different. More precisely, there was no internal structure at all!

The magazine couldn’t be pulled out, and the trigger and bolt didn’t move at all. The most outrageous thing was the barrel, not to mention that it was completely solid. The muzzle flash cap was still a piece of ruby ​​inlaid on it. The overall weight was definitely more than ten kilograms. A squad with a machine gun is even heavier!

So after getting this thing, Lude's expression was neither sad nor happy, while Atropos, who was on the side, explained to him the various uses of this thing.This weapon with the appearance of a rifle is actually a multi-purpose priest's scepter in essence.

So Lu De subconsciously imagined, the appearance of himself standing on the podium of the temple with this thing, preaching to the underground believers, is really full of "majesty" in various senses!

End of this chapter

It feels like a flash of effort, and it's the end of October in a blink of an eye.

With the hard work of tens of thousands of dwarf craftsmen, the simple road with a total length of nearly 160 miles was successfully opened before winter.

The dwarf migrants who had been staying in Pine Tree Town for several months were finally able to set up camp. Except for a few dwarves who would stay in the town, the rest of the population would all move into the ancient underground city.

This city, which returned to the hands of the dwarves, was named "Kalashnila" by Gulig, which means "a place of revitalization" in the old dwarf language.

On the day when the migrants set off again, Lu De and the leaders of all parties in the village held a send-off ceremony for the Steel Whip Clan.On the dwarves side were Patriarch Gulig and Priest Winig, while on the human side were Lud, Sharo, and Rodriguez.

There should have been Ural and Hamilton, but the two left the local area one after another last week.Ural needed him to go back to deal with something in the church, while Hamilton was "invited" back by someone sent by the Three-Man Tower.

Lude still remembered that day, a team of six Griffin Knights suddenly flew to Pine Town, asking for the great fire magister Hamilton by name.They were ordered by the other two great magisters in the Tower of Three to take Hamilton back.

The old magician was very unhappy at first, saying that he hadn't had enough hot pot and didn't want to go back so early.As a result, the Cavalier brother who led the team took out a letter from his arms and handed it over. Hamilton opened it and looked at it for a few moments before his face changed suddenly, and he immediately relented and agreed to go back with them.

Lu De was very curious at the time, what was written in the letter that made this gangster so jealous.It wasn't until he was lucky enough to visit the Tower of Three that he learned from another female grand magister that there were only a few sentences in the letter, threatening Hamilton that if he refused to come back and admit his mistake, he would go to the Tower of Three in public. Recite the love letter he wrote to a certain female magician when he was young, and also copy the attachment, and send it to other magic groups on the mainland for appreciation.

His "black history" is in the hands of others, and Hamilton, who doesn't want to lose face in the circle, can only submit obediently in the end.

Fortunately, the presence or absence of these two people has no substantial impact.

It is worth mentioning that at the farewell ceremony, the head priest Wenig, who has converted to the artisan religion, always carried his priest's scepter in the shape of a "sacred sword of physics" in his hand, and would hold it up and wave it from time to time Twice.

Lude had a decent smile on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.If I had known that the scene would be so harmonious, I would have brought out "Fire Qilin".

"Master Lude, we have been bothering you in your land for many days. On behalf of me and my people, thank you for your help these days. As long as Kalashnira is still in the hands of our dwarves, my people and I will always welcome you! "

"You are serious, Patriarch Gulig, I just did some minor work, and this is also the will of the 'goddesses'."

When the word "goddesses" was mentioned, Lu De, Gulig and Winig looked at each other and smiled.It has been more than three months since the high-level members of the Steel Whip clan changed their sect. With the prestige of the patriarch, elders, and chief priests within the clan, more than [-] dwarves have joined the craftsman so far.

And thanks to the promotion of the concept of "Pantheon", although these tens of thousands of dwarf believers converted to the three sisters of the Craftsman God, but because there is no direct conflict in concept, they will also treat drugs that belong to the "same camp". God and the God of Eros produce faith.

Even the preaching priests are encouraging you to "push more" as much as possible, so naturally there will be no taboos for believers psychologically!

Winig said that he will try to spread the belief of the goddess to every dwarf in the whole clan, and will promote it to other clans in the future.The dwarves will one day vote with their feet and dissociate themselves from the Earth Mother who once betrayed them.

In addition, Winnig also told Lude that the temple he built in the dungeon would also enshrine the statues of the God of Medicine and the God of Eros. As long as Lude is free, he is welcome to come and preach at any time.

These days in Pine Town, Winig also went to observe Lude’s preaching ceremony. He admired Lude’s "storytelling" mode, so these days he also tried to emulate it in his own clan, and it was very popular among believers. .

According to this development trend, Lude felt that he might be able to engage in a "linkage" with Weniger one day, and go on stage together to give believers a religious cross talk!

"Let's just leave here, everyone. Anyway, the road is open now, so I will definitely have to walk more in the future, and I will see you in the spring of next year."

"Goodbye."

Watched by Lude and others, the dwarves dragged their families and drove the carts to the north along the newly opened road to their promised land.

Both Sharo and Rodriguez are also planning to return to the territory with their respective troops the day after tomorrow.Because the end of October is the time when autumn and winter alternate, no one can guarantee whether there will be a sudden heavy snow to seal the mountains.So while the main road can still be walked now, I have to hurry up and go back.

The noble private troops of these two families have been stationed in Pine Tree Town for nearly four months. On the surface, their mission is to assist the dwarves of the Steel Whip clan to migrate and build a good relationship with this new neighbor. self-existence.

Fortunately, although these two families have been competing secretly, their performance in the local area is quite restrained. This is all due to the fact that they accepted Lu De's "dismissal" at the village sports meeting when they first arrived.

Especially in the last tug-of-war, twenty big men were dragged into Shiba Inu by ten drugged girls, the scene can be said to be extremely embarrassing!

But to be honest, after staying in the local area for such a long time, most knights have a good impression of Pine Town.

The locals have generally been cultivated by Lude to have good hygiene habits. The streets are clean and tidy, and the villagers are also very decent. Unlike the low-level civilians in other places, they have a terrible smell that lingers for years, making people afraid to approach them at all.

The other is the local food, which is beyond imagination!

Because of breeding and "Jinkela", Pine Tree Town suddenly became the only spice producing area in the northern part of the kingdom. The profits brought by cash crops are one aspect, which also makes Lude have the conditions to promote skewers and hot pot locally. The taste shock has conquered almost everyone's taste buds.

Villagers, knights, dwarves are all addicted to it!

Some soldiers and low-level knights in the private army of the nobles have even secretly made up their minds that if they fail to make a name for themselves in the army in the future, they will come here to settle down after they retire.

As the commanders of the army, Shaluo and Rodriguez ate no less than their own subordinates, so when they finally wanted to go home, they couldn't help but feel a little bit of reluctance.

"I'm going back!"

"Yes!"

"I'm feeling here, what are you doing!?"

"..."

Rolling an angry look at Rodriguez, Shaluo walked towards his own camp with the steps of a pure man that his six relatives did not recognize.

In all fairness, in the past period of time, Rodriguez did not take the initiative to provoke Sha Luo, and even deliberately forbeared in many places, showing a very chivalrous demeanor.But the more the other party was like this, the more Sha Luo felt uncomfortable with him.

What annoyed Sharo even more was that even though she had never given Rodriguez any good looks for so many days, the "gossip" about the two was increasing day by day.Much of this can be blamed on Romeo and Juliet, a popular play that is just as popular.

Some guys who like to make up their minds actually took their seats and made some unreasonable guesses about her and Rodriguez!

And this kind of speculation is currently quietly appearing in the Earl of Lumley and the Duke of Ganmaling as the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe tours in the northern part of the kingdom.So much so that when Sharo received a letter from her father last week, she even used a slightly cryptic tone between the lines, asking her if she had any views on Rodriguez between men and women.

So Shaluo, who became angry from embarrassment, immediately began to write a reply letter, directly swearing in the letter, even if Shaluo was beaten to death, died outside, and fell off his horse, she would never have any affection for that Rodriguez!As soon as I go back, I will kill those gossips who chew on their tongues!

Looking at Shaluo who was walking back obviously angry, Rodriguez stood there in a daze, with an extremely innocent expression on his face.Lude stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.

After getting along for so many days, Lu De already had a certain degree of understanding of this handsome, hulking young man. He was indeed a good young man who was both outstanding and upright. Except for being too serious and a little rigid, he was impeccable in other aspects.

If Sha Luo could really pair up with him, it would be a good relationship, and maybe it could also ease the conflict between the two lords.

At this time, a cool breeze came from the north, and a little bit of white fell in front of the two of them.Lu De stretched out his hand to catch it, and a few tiny snowflakes immediately melted in his palm. When he raised his head again, under the dark clouds between the sky and the earth, late autumn had quietly left.

"Mr. Priest, winter is coming."

"Yeah! Spring won't be far away..."

(End of this volume)

End of this chapter

Unlike the many hardships and twists and turns experienced last year, the residents of Pine Tree Town had a relatively peaceful winter.There are no diseases, food shortages, and foreign enemies. The wind, snow and beasts are all blocked outside the wall, and the sense of security and happiness has been greatly improved.

Lude actually spent this winter very comfortably, especially after the heavy snow closed the mountains, traffic and communication were completely cut off, trade activities were temporarily suspended, and the school began to go on winter vacation. Lude felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.

certainly!Lude didn't always fish all winter, and he used this time to do a lot of "literary and artistic creation" related things.For example, new plays and songs, as well as graphic novels, are all literary and artistic works that are popular on the other side of the earth and loved by the people.

No matter all ages or R-18, grab it with both hands!

During this process, Lu De deeply experienced the joy of being a "Wen Chaogong".However, Lu De didn't take all these works to himself because he was in a different world and the Earth's legal department couldn't control him. Instead, he followed the routine of copying the script before.

Ever since, after Shakespeare, Luo Guanzhong, Alexandre Dumas, Beethoven, Shui Longjing and other well-known creators on the earth have also become "a friend" of Lu, and he just helped these friends forward it on his behalf.

The current Pantheon, Pine Town and Dwarf City have been quite stable as the core areas of the base camp, so while attracting more people to come, Lude is also actively planning to go out.

The traditional method is naturally to send missionaries to spread the gospel of the goddess, but this method is inefficient on the one hand, and it is very easy to arouse hatred. Other sects will not like to see other missionaries appear on their own territory.

So Lourdes took Servise's circus last fall, financed them, provided them with a script, and put them out on tour.

Facts have also proved that cultural output is the strongest means of publicity, and excellent works can instill ideas for the audience unconsciously.Many audiences didn’t realize that when they cheered and applauded Serves and others’ wonderful performances on stage in the opera house, they had unknowingly contributed a wave of faith to pagan gods. Some even became pan-believers.

The local religious sects generally focus on the possible missionaries, but lack vigilance against the song and dance troupe.Some priests even went to see the performance, but they didn't realize that the gods on the stage that seemed to be props were actually real gods.The beliefs generated by the audience on the spot are directly "transferred" to the deity in the distance through these statues.

Therefore, the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe toured around the northern border of the kingdom, and easily stole a handful of wool under the noses of many sects!

In a short period of time, these belief benefits cannot be compared with the core parishes blessed by the original fire, but as the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe becomes more and more famous, the popularity of the Pantheon will also rise together.According to the saying on the other side of the earth, gods are traffic stars, and heat is the source of power!

However, the increase in popularity must be done step by step, and negative news must be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it will be a sign of confusion if it is too hot.

The whole winter passed unknowingly like this, until the spring breeze melted the thick snow and the earth became green again.

After last year's rapid development, the upgraded Pine Tree Town now has a permanent population of over [-]. Although the overall structure is still dominated by agricultural population, it has successfully introduced cash crops.

As the largest landowner in the area, Shendian owns about one-third of the land and more than half of the real estate in the town. Many villagers have also signed "labor contracts" with Lu De, so what to plant in the land depends on Master Lu.

Lu De picked the [-] mu of the most fertile field under his name, and planted peppers and other spices that could adapt to the local climate.Other tropical crops that could not adapt to the local climate were planted in the greenhouses built by the dwarves.

In order to increase the yield of these economic crops, the magical fertilizer "Jinkela", which was developed only last year, will be given priority to supply these batches of land.According to the data obtained in the original test field, the farmland where Jinkela has been used can not only increase the yield by more than 50%, but also shorten the growth cycle by about a quarter.

It is precisely because of the excellent performance of this fertilizer that Lude demonstrated an amazing "agricultural miracle" in front of the villagers last year, making believers believe that Evelina, the god of medicine, does have the "abundance" god.

It is worth mentioning that in front of his believers, Lude did not deny that the Goddess of the Earth also possesses the position of "abundance", but he asked the believers to think that the two goddesses are in the position of "abundance". Whether the attitude towards believers is exactly the same.

The former mainly relies on punishment. If you are disrespectful to me, I will let you reduce the production of your land.

The latter mainly relies on rewards. If you are devout to me, I will give you fat to increase your production.

The common people at the bottom are ignorant, but they are not fools. After comparing the God of Medicine and the Mother Earth, everyone decisively chose the one with milk!

After the first crop was planted, under the blessing of Jinkela, the growth was very good.Lu De also deliberately asked people to plant a row of unfertilized fields opposite the fertilized farmland. What he wanted was for the farmers to see the comparison, and then to develop faith in the God of Medicine out of envy.

Lu De roughly estimated that if there were no natural disasters and pests, the fertilized fields would have a yield of more than [-] kilograms per mu of pepper alone.This output is at the average level on the earth, and the well-cared-for model fields can exceed a thousand, but here it is enough to be called a "miracle"!

Due to climate problems in the Duran Kingdom, there are very few types of spices that can be produced locally, so the prices are relatively expensive.If Pine Tree Town can really use spice planting as a pillar industry, it will not worry about making money at all.

However, since before the beginning of winter last year, there has been a problem that has always troubled Lude, and it has also made the local villagers who are getting better and better these days are uneasy, that is, their "five-year benefits" as pioneers are about to expire.The need to pay taxes is still secondary, the key is the new lord that may appear, after all, no one can guarantee that the one who will come must be some kind of good person.

Lude has some understanding of the nobles of the kingdom, he has seen the good, the bad, and the mediocre.If he proceeded from his own interests, he most hoped that Pine Tree Village could be merged into the Earl of Lumley. The current Earl seemed to be a shrewd and benevolent person with a rather virtuous reputation.

The Duchy of Ganmaling next door can also do it. The old duke may not be too reliable, but his heir Rodriguez is very good.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, King Duran obviously will not let Pine Tree Town fall into the hands of these two families out of balance. A buffer zone in the middle allows the two great powers in the north to continue to maintain a situation of fighting without breaking.

So Lude's current feeling is the same as drawing cards in a mobile game. No one knows what will come out before the bag is opened and exposed?

End of this chapter

In this magical medieval world, the average quality of the entire aristocratic group, although it is not so low that "all villains" are enough to make the people at the bottom feel desperate, but it is far from what they boasted. It is the embodiment of the so-called nobility and virtue.

Lu De also didn't expect the kingdom to confer a saint to be the lord. The key is to be able to communicate and have a bottom line in life.If a brutal guy really came, Lude would have to think of some "extraordinary measures".

The local Songhe River is always cold!

In the middle of April, as usual, Lu De walked from the temple to the school to teach the children.When passing by the main road, Lu De happened to run into a group of dwarves from the north, led by an old acquaintance, Gulig's second nephew Charlotte Golden Axe.

Because of the upgrading of Pine Town, the local area plans to build a three-meter-high brick wall around the town.Before that, the main defense facilities of the village were only a relatively simple wooden fence and five watchtowers.

In terms of manpower and material resources alone, the village at that time was already fully capable of building stone walls, but according to the kingdom's decree, population gathering places at all levels have different standards for building cities, and there are restrictions on the material and height of the walls. If the specification exceeds its own level, it is regarded as rebellion!

With the current level of Songshu Town, they have the right to build a brick-and-earth city wall with a height of no more than three meters and a width of no more than two meters. There must be no more than ten arrow rests on the city wall, and the height must not exceed five meters.

By the way, when a lord comes to the local area in the future, the other party has the right to build a castle anywhere in the territory as his residence. There is also a set of "Castle Law" for the aristocratic class as a reference.

As for the money for building the castle, the lord has the right to collect a special tax from the people under his rule that does not have to be shared with the royal family, so there will be some greedy and wicked nobles who deliberately make a big fuss about this and repair their castles Dismantling, dismantling and repairing, repeatedly cutting the wool of the people underneath.

Thanks to the town's abundant financial budget and the good neighborhood relationship with the Steel Whip clan, the town's fence was directly outsourced to the dwarven engineering team.Gulig patted his chest and promised that he would send the best craftsmen in the clan to build the strongest and most beautiful wall for the town with clay bricks fired by secret methods.

So not long after the beginning of spring, the dungeon sent more than 300 dwarf artisans to Pine Tree Town, and a convoy of building materials came every day.

Throughout the winter, tens of thousands of dwarves from the Steel Whip Clan were renovating the dungeon.The surface part was shut down due to the heavy snow, but the underground part was not affected by the outside climate, and the mines and workshops resumed operation one after another.The fence in Pine Tree Town was the first business they had received after resuming work, so they were particularly concerned about it. Gulig specially sent his nephew to be a supervisor.

After a long distance, Charlotte saw Lu De, and hurriedly jumped off her seat sheep to meet him.In the blue mushroom incident last year, Charlotte, as a liaison officer, took a "Dragon Airlines" together under Lude's light.Don't look at the young man's legs and feet were weak at the time, but afterwards he became a talking point.

After all, he is the only one who has enjoyed one-stop service for the entire clan!

But this guy has a good relationship with Lude, not just because of the experience of going to heaven together, but because of great literature.

Because of the tradition of emphasizing education, the literacy rate of the dwarves has always been at the top of the rankings of various races, and Charlotte is a relatively rare literary youth among the dwarves, who likes drama and poetry very much.For "Romeo and Juliet" last year, the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe performed a total of five shows in the town. Charlotte replayed five times without missing a single game, and memorized most of the lines in a daze.
