Perhaps it was because Søren had agreed to their request.
The goddesses seemed to be in a good mood. After all, Søren was a guest from afar. The Goddess of Agriculture thought about it and decided to hold a banquet to entertain him. It was very easy for the gods to hold banquets, and there was no need to bother those mortals at all. As the Goddess of Agriculture clapped her hands gently, a group of lovely flower fairies flew out of the lush forest in front of her. They were only the size of a palm, like pocket-sized little fairies. These flower fairies brought honey and fruit. The Goddess of River picked up a conch and blew towards the river, and more than ten beautiful water fairies came out. They were holding plates made of beautiful shells, and there were all kinds of aquatic products on them. The Goddess of Spring Water tapped gently on the ground with her snow-white toes, and immediately, a clear and sweet spring water automatically turned into a small fountain, shining with colorful brilliance under the sun. The Goddess of Sprouts summoned a large group of gorgeous birds, and they played a music movement with all kinds of chirps.
Søren was a little stunned.
In fact, although he was the owner of Mordor City and a mid-level divine power god, he had never experienced the enjoyment of a god-level god.
Many nobles lived much more luxurious lives than him. As for using divine power to hold a banquet, he had never studied a similar spell. Looking at the extremely skillful movements of the goddesses, as if everything was so natural, it was obvious that it was not the first time these goddesses had used similar spells.
It seemed that the rumors were true, and the gods of this world were really good at enjoying life.
It was said that some gods had also developed the 'Banquet Spell'. As long as they cast a sixth-circle or seventh-circle spell, they could automatically create a large amount of wine, food, chairs, and even a garden square out of thin air. Søren felt that if he had time, he should also learn the 'Extradimensional Mansion Spell'.
…
The banquet did not take up too much of Soran's time.
The Goddess of Agriculture was a very active person. In the afternoon of the same day, the Goddess of Agriculture conveyed an oracle to the church, and then many priests and Druil in the Southern Duchy were summoned. There were a large number of priests and Druil under the command of the Goddess of Agriculture. They were good at cultivating plants and were all experienced gardeners and farmers. These people originally served many nobles and merchants, and some of them were manor owners themselves. Under the oracle of the Goddess of Agriculture, many priests and Druil, who were originally aristocratic advisers, came to Harvest City, and then began to go to the Wind Spear Hills under the arrangement of the church.
Devout believers would not disobey the oracle, so hundreds of Druil and priests set off on the same day.
At this time, the nobles of the Southern Duchy quickly got the news, and they could not sit still.. Their harvest harvest, they were completely dependent on the Goddess of Agriculture. was a little worried that the Goddess of Agriculture was dissatisfied with them. So they planned to pay a certain price to keep these priests and druids, but they were soon rejected because the covenant of the gods was not a joke. Since the Goddess of Agriculture had agreed to Soran's request, it was useless even if these people were willing to pay a higher price.
Wind Spear Hills, Maple City.
The light of a teleportation gate appeared.
The first to come out was a mature and elegant white-robed priest with the emblem of the Goddess of Agriculture on her chest. She was a legendary archbishop.
The one in charge of receiving her was Adele Isabella, and behind her was another noblewoman who looked somewhat similar to her. Adele nodded slightly to the archbishop in front of her and said in a friendly manner, "My Lord has arranged everything. Please come with me, we have arranged temporary accommodations for you in the mayor's mansion. "
"The temple is under construction, and it will be completed in about a week."
The first batch of priests had a total of twelve people, all of whom were high-grade priests, led by an archbishop. Then there were three other independent Druil. Many of the priests of the Goddess of Agriculture were part-time Druil, and they were all experts in controlling plants.
The archbishop smiled and nodded, "No hurry. Can you show us around? "
Adele Isabella smiled and said, "There's no problem at all. Let's go to the temple area first. "
The archbishop's purpose was simple. She needed to see the sincerity of Mordor City and its strength. Although the Goddess agreed to cooperate with the Shadow Lord, the specific progress of the trial and the number of priests needed to be sent over would depend on the actual situation. A church had its own rules to operate. Unless the value here was amazing, she would not advocate sending a large number of priests from the Southern Duchy to the Wind Spear Hills.
The temple area.
As a city that was not too big, there were only a few temples in the temple area of Maple City, and they were all remodeled. The most obvious one was the temple of the Shadow Lord, then the temple of his god, the Whipping Girl, and then the temple of the Goddess of Wealth. The other temples were not seen, and the one currently under construction was the temple of the Goddess of Agriculture. In charge of the construction of the temple was a group of half-elves, including witches. They were responsible for controlling more than twenty clay golems, and most of the physical labor was done by them. The main body of the temple was made of white marble. At present, only the framework of the building was completed, and there were still many open spaces nearby that had not been transformed.
"This temple covers an area of 5,000 square meters, and one-third of it is currently used."
Adele smiled and introduced to the group of priests behind her, "We are only responsible for the main framework. How to arrange and transform the temple will be done by you. After all, each temple has different characteristics. "
The archbishop looked at everything in front of her in surprise.
With just a glance, she knew that the cost of building this temple was not cheap. Just the marble alone cost a lot. Even in the Southern Duchy, such a temple would require at least a bishop to preside over it.
After a while, she frowned.
She felt that she needed to mobilize people quickly because the temples built by these half-elves were not in line with the beauty of the Goddess of Agriculture at all. There was no harmonious beauty of balance between nature and people. She said a few words to a Druil behind her, and then said to Adele, "Since this is a temple to serve our Lord, we'd better send people to help."
"This is Master Kali. He knows how to arrange this temple. You have built a lot, but some places are not in line with our Lord's preferences."
The characteristic of the city of Mordor was its magnificence.
So the specifications of the temple were also based on this, but the temple of the Goddess of Agriculture was very delicate. The archbishop felt that he should send people to participate in advance, otherwise it would be too troublesome to transform later.
"No problem." Adele smiled.
Then she took the group to the commercial and residential areas, and finally came to the refugee shed outside, where a large number of refugees had gathered.
"For now."
Adele pointed to the refugee shed in front of her and said, "We have taken in about 6,000 refugees, all of them with families, which is easier to manage. These people will be used to reclaim the land, and all the tools and seeds will be provided by the city of Mordor. But they need you to send people to take charge of management and teaching. "
"There is a lot of wasteland nearby. As long as it is reclaimed, it should be self-sufficient next year."
"According to our calculations, the city can expand to the size of 50,000 people. The current population is more than 18,000 people, so we can still take in about 32,000 refugees. "
A city of 50,000 people.
The archbishop and the others looked at each other with a surprised expression, because other cities had about 30,000 people, and 50,000 people was already considered a big city. The fact that the city of Mordor could calculate such a scale meant that they were very confident in the management of the city. Even if it was such a small city, they were confident that they could complete the material deployment and attack of 50,000 people. At the same time, the archbishop also found that many places in the city were being transformed, the most obvious were the sewers and ditches, and the roads near the market were also being repaved.
"Huh?"
The archbishop looked around and suddenly said, "Why are there grey dwarfs here?"
Not far away, there seemed to be a blacksmith shop. About a dozen grey dwarfs were busy. They were drinking and working, often picking up the jug after a fierce knock.
Adele smiled and said, "These are the residents of the city of Mordor."
"They are blacksmiths who are good at forging. At present, the farming tools for the refugees are made by them. In the future, the weapons of the city guards will also be provided by them. These grey dwarfs will not live in this city. After completing these works, they will return to Mordor. "
"After all."
At this point, Adele smiled and pointed out, "This kind of excellent blacksmith is also in high demand in Mordor."
The Duergar's weapons were all refined ironware.
The city of Mordor seemed to have a lot of steel resources. The archbishop only glanced at them and found that the quality of these farming tools was very good. Most of them were steel rather than pig iron. A priest picked up the weapon and looked at it. He could not help but exclaim, "It is indeed a fine product!"
The grey dwarfs did not like to deal with outsiders.
The bearded grey dwarf just snorted when he heard the words, and then continued to do his own thing.
If it were not for the great Shadow Lord's request, they would not have come to this broken place. There was no good wine or super-large furnace here. It was much worse than Mordor.
"Maple City is expected to recruit 3,000 troops."
Adele glanced at the archbishop in front of her and smiled, "After all, this is a very special time. So we hope that the Church of Agriculture can also provide some manpower. Of course, we will provide all the weapons and equipment. "
One word.
Rich and powerful!
Adele's every word expressed the wealth of Mordor City, as if she didn't care about this expenditure at all. In fact, she did not care, because Søren's plan to lay out the bottomless abyss had already begun to pay off. A steady stream of steel and rare minerals were being imported from the bottomless abyss into Mordor, and this expenditure was just a drop in the bucket.
