Human Online Survival [Infrastructure]

However, although--

After all, Xia Pengyue successfully awakened his magic talent in the end.

This is really gratifying.

Chi Xian couldn't help but covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then silently sorted out a set of training methods for light magicians for him.

The next day, the public trial meeting was held in the central square of Casta City.

It just so happened that the houses around the square were all destroyed in yesterday's war, and the government office simply sent people to level up those ruins and use them to expand the public trial stand.

Sure enough, early in the morning, before Shaster and others arrived, the entire central square was surrounded by civilians and slaves who came from all directions.

In addition, Shaster also invited many representatives of traveling merchants to visit.

They all want to know whether the Church of Casta City is really trying to collude with the Church of Killing God to murder the city lord, as rumored, regardless of the lives of 10,000+ people in Casta City...

As a result, when they arrived at the place, they saw that a larger video wall had been replaced on the central square to ensure that people more than ten meters away could clearly see the picture inside.

——This was kindly sponsored by Xia Pengyue.

And what is being played on the TV wall is not the scene of the high-level conspiracies of the church yesterday, including after they found out that the scene of their conspiracy was broadcast live, they decided to directly give up the city of Casta to the Church of God Killing, so that God Killing The church helped them kill all the residents of Casta City to ensure that their scandals would not be leaked.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Is this actually true?"

"But they, aren't they the messengers of the God of Light?"

"How dare they do such a thing?"

"The most important thing is that Captain Elliott of the Knights actually said that there is no God of Light in this world."

"He said that... Is there really no God of Light in this world?"

"He also said that His Majesty the Pope is also paying attention to this matter, and that His Majesty the Pope sent someone to help them?"

"So His Majesty the Pope doesn't care about the lives of so many of us?"

But what made them even more confused was yet to come.

The first thing Shaster and the others did when they arrived was to move out the corpses of Bishop Broad and the others and all the treasures copied from their homes.

Looking at the treasure piled up like a mountain in that instant, they were all silent.

Especially those traveling merchant representatives, they couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Because their intuition told them that the idea of ​​the Lord Shaster might not be as simple as making these clergymen of the church obey the law.

Immediately afterwards, the speaker stepped onto the rostrum, and he began to announce the crimes of Bishop Broad and others.

Including that they raised donations seven times in the name of the church to repair the church, and raised a total of 63 gold coins, of which only 13 gold coins were actually used to repair the church. The upper echelons of the church were divided.

For example, in the past 50 years, the church has received a total of more than 200 million gold coins in donations, of which 160 million gold coins have been embezzled by the church's high-level officials for various purposes. People have been eunuched twice, and their organs have been replaced four times...

For example, Bishop Broad, he has a total of 33 estates under his name, 23 of which were snatched from nobles and commoners. Many villagers were slaughtered, and then on the grounds that the Lausanne village had become a land of no owner, they bought the Lausanne village from the council at an extremely low price, and all this was just because someone was in the Lausanne village. A small iron mine was discovered...

What's more, in the 13 years since he became the bishop of the Casta City Church, he has accepted bribes including 30 gold coins, 39 beauties, and countless precious magic materials. The case of all the property of the wife's family helped thirteen dark believers escape the sanction of the canon...

Even so, there are still more than 30 gold coins and treasures in two houses of unknown origin in Bishop Brod's house.

For these, those civilians did not believe it.

But looking at the mountain-like treasure next to them, it was hard for them to believe it.

Then they were more silent.

But until the end of the public trial, when Bishop Broad and his family members and the pastors and deacons who committed a lot of crimes were hanged one by one, there was not even a single person among the tens of thousands of people standing up to scold and testify against them.

But Shaster was already satisfied.

Because they knew that the words of believing in the God of Light and being loyal to the Holy See had long been engraved into the bones of all the people of the Gasman Empire.

So they don't expect these residents of Casta City to be completely disappointed with the Holy See because of such an incident.

Immediately afterwards, the consul stood up.

He said: "What will be announced next is how to deal with the stolen money seized from the homes of Bishop Broad and others."

"First, all residents of Casta City can use their resident certificates to go to the governing hall to receive a subsidy of one gold coin, regardless of gender, regardless of age."

"Secondly, all orphans, widows, widows, and orphaned children under their age can apply for a relief certificate at the government office with their residence card. With the relief certificate, each household can receive a relief fund of [-] copper coins per month."

"Third, Casta City encourages joining the army. Anyone who joins the city guard army within half a month will be rewarded with two gold coins."

"Fourth, the government office is going to recruit a group of workers to repair Casta City. The salary given is [-] copper coins per month, with two days off per month, and food and lodging will be provided."

"Fifth, all the manors and properties confiscated from Bishop Broad and others will be returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and all the original slaves in the manor will be released as free citizens."

"Sixth, Casta City encourages foreign magicians and martial artists to settle down. For magicians and martial artists who settle in Casta City and do not plan to leave Casta City within five years, the City Lord's Mansion will give [-] gold coins to Rewards ranging from [-] gold coins."

……

Hearing this, the entire central square erupted in an instant, and everyone let go of the panic in their hearts, as well as the hundreds of priests who had just been hanged.

"Everyone can receive one gold coin? There are five people in our family, so we can receive five gold coins? That's our family's income for three years."

"And the widow can actually apply for a relief fund of [-] copper coins a month... plus the money I earn from washing people's clothes, it is enough for me to support me and my two children."

"I'm a free man, Mary, I'm a free man!"

So someone shouted immediately: "Praise the God of Light, praise His Majesty the Pope, praise His Majesty the Emperor!"

When the others heard it, they also shouted: "Praise the God of Light, praise His Majesty the Pope, and praise His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Praise the God of Light, praise His Majesty the Pope, and praise His Majesty the Emperor!"

……

The consul said with a smile: "Praise the city lord!"

His voice was not loud, but under the blessing of wind magic, it instantly spread throughout the central square.

So much so that there was a moment of silence in the square.

Yes!

Those bastards in Casta City Church didn't care about their lives at all, and even wanted to kill them.

And the Pope...

And these benefits were obviously given to them by the city lord.

It was also the city lord who made them free people again.

Thinking of this, they only hesitated for a few seconds before shouting again: "Praise the God of Light, praise the Emperor, and praise the City Lord!"

"Praise the Lord City Lord!"

"Praise the God of Light, praise the City Lord!"

These voices merged into torrents in an instant, sweeping away in all directions.

Hearing this, Shaster and the others also laughed in unison.

And those traveling merchant representatives and nobles suddenly stood up.

scared.

What is Shaster trying to do?

It's okay for him to kill most of the clergy of the Casta City Church in one go. After all, according to the provisions of the imperial law, the City Lord's Mansion does have certain jurisdiction over the church.

However, after the trial of these cases, he not only failed to 'clarify' the "rumors" that there is no God of Light in this world and that the actions of the Casta City Church were all under the orders of the Pope. The residents of the city discussed wantonly, and even planned to distribute the property confiscated from Bishop Broad and others to the civilians and slaves——

If this isn't buying people's hearts, what could it be?

There is also the announcement they made to encourage joining the army, which is simply to expand their strength and compete with the church for people!

——Because he has almost killed all the people in the church in Casta City, the Holy See will inevitably send another group of people over in the future, and they will inevitably recruit knights again.

But now, as soon as this announcement comes out, young and strong people in the city who have this intention will definitely flock to the city guards. When the new bishop arrives, they will face the fact that they will not be able to recruit knights situation.

So their purpose is actually self-evident.

They are preparing to tear themselves apart with the Holy See!

Thinking of this, after the trial assembly was over, they exchanged pleasantries with the consul, and they couldn't wait to go back.

They must immediately pass this news back to their home to judge whether they need to evacuate Casta City as soon as possible.

Seeing their backs, Shaster's eyes couldn't help but sink.

They guessed right, he did this, and he was indeed preparing to tear himself apart with the Holy See.

Although they won this battle, the fact that his strength has recovered is destined to be leaked.

And this time the Holy See has stumbled on him so much, so in the future, the Holy See will only target him more violently.

But they were also part of his plan.

He needs them to help him publicize this matter, especially the plan of the Church of Casta City colluding with the Church of God Killing is acquiesced by the Pope, that is, the Holy See wants to get rid of him.

Only in this way, the Holy See will not directly send experts to get rid of him.

Because once he dies strangely, the people will inevitably suspect the Holy See.

And the people in the Holy See have always been hypocritical, what they lack, the more they desire.

What's more, the reason why the Holy See can stand still is because they claim to be the messengers of the God of Light and the benchmark of morality, so it is absolutely impossible for them to tolerate even the slightest stain on themselves.

The layout of Casta City is almost complete, and the next step is Tahe Village.

Thinking of this, Shaster turned his head and looked at the consul on the side: "Your Excellency Chi Xian, you go there yourself!"

Consul: "Yes."

That afternoon, the consul rushed to Tahe Village with [-] gold coins and more than a dozen boxes of magic materials.

Consul: "Don't look at us copying more than 500 million gold coins and magic materials from more than a dozen houses from those blood-sucking bedbugs in one breath, but [-]% of them will be distributed to the Xinmisu Church, and the rest will be distributed. For civilians, rebuilding Casta City, expanding the army, etc., the rest is here, so please understand.”

"However, considering that you should be short of storage rings right now, we brought all the storage rings we captured."

With that said, the consul took out a box and handed it to Chi Xian and the others.

Chi Xian: "..."

Hearing this, it reminded him of something.

That is, he was only thinking about running away yesterday, and forgot to ask for the storage ring back.

Xia Pengyue and the others hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough."

After all, the property of those beasts was collected from the people of Casta City, so it should be returned to the people of Casta City.

And the price of the storage ring is actually not cheap.

On the market, a five-cubic storage ring costs at least one thousand gold coins, and the larger the space, the more expensive it is.

The box given to them by the consul contained at least 30 storage rings, most of which were more than ten cubic meters in size.

Then I heard the consul say: "In addition, considering that you have no defensive capabilities, the Lord City Lord specially ordered me to collect some equipment with defensive inscriptions for you."

Looking at the equipment in those large boxes, Xia Pengyue and the others had nothing to say.

"Please be sure to express our gratitude to the city lord on our behalf."

Speaking of this, the consul suddenly turned serious: "Besides, I came here today to discuss with you the future development of Casta City."

He told all about the crisis that Casta City is about to encounter.

"The Lord of the City means that the situation is still unclear, so I hope that you will not make too many moves in a short period of time, let alone reveal your identity as an Earthling, so as not to become an excuse for the Holy See to attack Casta City."

As for the high-tech products produced by Tahe Village, even without Shaster’s explanation, the vast majority of people have already given in their hearts that those machines are probably obtained by Shaster from the earthlings he met. The explanation of -

Just like what the consuls thought at the beginning, the people on Earth are too weak.

So if they fancy something from the Earthlings, they can grab it directly, and there is no need to cooperate with them at all.

So many people have already tasted the sweetness of searching for the technology of people on earth.

It was also because of this that outsiders would never doubt the identities of Chi Xian and the others. After all, Chi Xian's exposed strength was a great magister.

Not to mention the people on Earth, even the vast majority of people in Osland can't compare to him.

"Ugh!"

Xia Pengyue and the others couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

They originally thought that if they won this battle, they would be able to flex their muscles.

But they thought about it again, even if Casta City can let them do whatever they want now, their manpower will definitely be seriously insufficient, so they still have to come step by step in the end.

"OK."

Consul: "Also, if possible, we hope you can provide us with a batch of high-yielding seeds."

Chen Taining immediately said, "No problem."

After all, their family started a seed company.

In the next half a month, Casta City did not make any waves.

In the wasteland reclaimed by Xia Pengyue and others, the wheat seedlings have grown to knee height. As for some green vegetables, such as leeks, amaranth, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, cabbage heart, lettuce, Chinese cabbage and water spinach, they are all on the market.

At the chicken farm, the first batch of chicks had hatched, and there were [-] chickens.

Taking advantage of the good weather recently, Dugu happily took people and a dozen sets of gill nets to Tahe.

At most, they can catch tens of thousands of catties of various fish in a day.

Another rabbit farm was built in the back mountain, because they found that the rabbits in Osland were not only twice the size of the rabbits on the earth, but also had almost negligible fishy smell-because the rabbits on the earth have a strong smell Therefore, when cooking it, a lot of spices are generally needed, but now that it is the end of the world, and the medicinal materials are gone, which research institute will cultivate spices, so before that, they did not have the idea of ​​​​growing rabbits on a large scale.

The most important thing is that the fertility of the rabbits here is similar to that of the rabbits on the earth. They are sexually mature in four months, pregnant for only one month, and reproduce once every two months. They can produce seven to eight little rabbits at a time. The benefits are twice as good as raising pigs.

……

In addition, there is another happy event.

That was when the city lord's mansion planned to build the city wall with red bricks and cement at the beginning, the civilians in the city were very worried, thinking that the city wall built in this way had no defensive ability, because they found that the hardness of red bricks was even one-fifth of that of stones. None.

As a result, after a battle was fought, they found that the damage to the city wall was actually the lightest in all previous wars in the past few decades.

Of course, it was also because the scale of this battle was not large, but it did not prevent them from realizing that although a single red brick was not very hard, the brick wall composed of countless red bricks was indeed quite strong.

Most importantly, the price of red brick and cement is only one-fifth of the price of stone.

In addition, the government office recently gave each resident a subsidy of one gold coin. People have money in their hands, don't they just want to repair the house or even rebuild a house?

Then the red bricks and cement in Tahe Village sold like crazy.

For this item alone, Tahe Village can earn more than 500 gold coins every day.

The initial investment is instantly paid back.

——After all, they are in a cooperative relationship with Shaster, and Casta City did not have any money at the time, so the batch of cement and red bricks that were sold to the City Lord's Mansion to repair the city wall were all sold at cost price .

It happened that the slave market had tasted the sweetness last time, and this time more than 5000 slaves were directly imported.

After hearing this, Xia Pengyue bought them all with a wave of his hand.

Of course, Xia Pengyue did not forget to tell them that this was the last time they bought slaves in order to prevent those slave hunting groups from increasing their efforts to capture slaves in order to make money.

The last one is Xia Pengyue.

At least one thing Chi Xian said was right, that is, Xia Pengyue really got a blessing in disguise this time.

In Cao Yang's words, once elected to the king's side, the six palaces of pink and black have no color... No, it was once they won the hearts of the elements of the light department, and they have been loved by thousands of people since then.

The specific performance is - he was promoted from a beginner magic apprentice to a senior magician in half a month.

Even more exaggerated than Chi Xian.

It also successfully made Cao Yang and the others feel sour.

But this guy was still proudly showing off everywhere, so that night, he was put in a sack...

As good things happened one after another, Chi Xian's mood naturally didn't change much.

The most important thing is that he plans to go home while he has nothing to do these few days.
