Chapter 322 Free Dedication
Ling Lan learned the real situation from York. York, who used to be a slum, was left alone in the slum to survive in the slum because his father's property was completely destroyed by the Dodd family at a very young age.
Fengshui takes turns, and now, York is about to disappear from this continent through his own efforts.
After saying goodbye to York, Ling Lan went to the city owner's mansion. The city owner was busy dealing with last night's events. When he heard that Ling Lan had come to meet, he immediately put down the things in his hand and came to meet him in person.
Diana hasn't seen the city owner for more than a year and has been sticking to him all the time. When the city owner hasn't appeared yet, Diana jumped happily in front of Ling Lan.
"Big Devil! Here you are! Haha..." Diana shouted at Ling Lan, and then laughed excitedly.
"Bishop Ling Lan, Miss has always been like this. Don't be surprised, hehe."
"It doesn't matter, Uncle Ford." Ling Lan smiled faintly. Diana's personality was so unique and lovely that he would not have wanted to take her to the city and give it to the city owner in person.
At this time, the city owner hurriedly came with a crutch and looked at Ling Lan with a smile on his face.
The city owner invited Ling Lan into the office where they were together last night. Ling Lan just wanted to tell him what happened last night and the secret of Anqi City. Although this secret may no longer be a secret, Ling Lan decided to tell the city owner in person.
When Ling Lan talked about Anqi City, the city owner directly said that he knew it. Diana really told the city owner everything without reservation, but her words also praised Ling Lan and every demon in the city like Dors.
"Ling Lan, what happened last night was because the people of the Dodd family wanted to use the incident in Anchi City to destroy York's store. The forces on both sides are very famous throughout the empire, and I, as a city owner, will not have a good result. However, York is kind and benefiant, righteous and lacks wealth. What he does is to serve the people, unlike the Dodd family, who only recognize money but not people, and is single-minded in the eyes of money.
"What did the lord decide to do?" Ling Lan asked the question he wanted to know most. Once the city owner tells the story of Anqi City, it will rise to a height that the whole country will face.
"I decided to work with York to find separated relatives for the people in the city first! As for the struggle between them, I will enforce the law impartially and do what I want.
"Thank you, city lord. The people in Anqi City will be very grateful to you with your words. I will thank them first. If you need it in the future, I will do my best!" Ling Lan smiled happily, and then flashed another idea and asked doubtfully, "What if the Dude family reports the matter to the king?" Not only us, but also you will be implicated, and your life may be in danger.
"Ha ha... I have lived at such an old age, what is right and what is wrong, I should be very clear. I read your information last night and realized that you have such a high prestige in people's hearts. I hope you can come to the church in the city as a bishop, and the scum in the church will be cleaned up. The city owner looked into Ling Lan's eyes and said his request.
Ling Lan remembered that he had mentioned this last night and agreed.
There is also a church in the city of Kur. Compared with Anqi City Church, this church is larger, and the buildings and facilities inside are the most first-class and luxurious. But the only drawback is that there are not many believers. On the contrary, it makes the people in the city dislike any believers.
In the early days of the establishment of the church, the city residents also enthusiastically came to the church to pray and worship every day. Gradually, the president of the church turned this place into a place dedicated to collecting wealth. From the beginning, he did not receive the poor, and in the end, he had to pay money to enter the church, thus collecting countless money. When the people in the city stopped patroning the church, the president targeted those who came to visit other towns.
Through the president's ability to accumulate wealth, he regarded the church as a stronghold for his own benefit. At first, several bishops tried to remove his position, but after those bishops left, the president's position became more stable.
Three days later, Ling Lan entered the city of Kur with 5,000 believers. York bought a large abandoned building complex in the city as temporary accommodation for them. And the new church is also being built at the fastest speed at the instruction of the city owner.
In order to make Ling Lan famous in the city faster, they only did a very simple thing and attracted the attention of the people in the city to them.
The city owner personally ordered to inform the city people that Ling Lan's team came to the city of Kuer to return a positive, great and loving image of Light God. In the future, all city residents who have separated relatives will report to the new church, and the church will find their relatives for anyone free of charge.
The city owner has great prestige in the hearts of the city people. On the first day they entered the city of Kuhl, more than 1,000 people crowded to give them the portraits of their separated relatives. Moreover, they also identified their relatives in more than hundreds of portraits held by Ling Lan.
A day later, more than 30 people recognized the portraits of their relatives. In order to take advantage of this hot craze, Ling Lan sent those people out of the city that night and gave them to Hailin to arrange for them to meet their relatives.
Ling Lan was busy all day until two hours after nightfall, when he was invited by the enthusiastic city owner and Diana to eat together. The harvest of this day was seen by the city owner and praised Ling Lan with joy.
"Ling Lan, the good deeds you do for people will soon be remembered by them forever. However, you should be careful of the church over there to retaliate against you. They have strong financial resources and will definitely find ways to deal with you. The city owner didn't forget to remind him after dinner.
"Don't worry, all the believers under me are ten. It doesn't matter whether they come openly or secretly. If they make it clear that they are looking for something, it will only make them perish faster. Ling Lan doesn't pay attention to them at all. A small church president, no matter how powerful he is, he is not as good as a bishop. Ling Lan is not even afraid of Selen, let alone them.
After dinner, the city owner enthusiastically retained Ling Lan, hoping that he could spend the night here. Anyway, the city owner's mansion has many rooms. Even if he goes back, it is not comfortable to live here.
Ling Lan felt that it was difficult to be affectionate and was invited by the city owner for several days. After finishing the church during the day, he will eat with the city owner, Diana, as if he were going home at night.
Until the new church was partially completed, Ling Lan took over Hailin and asked her to be the president of the church. Then slowly brought the believers who had been living outside the city for months into the city.
In a few days, hundreds of people found their relatives. From more than 1,000 people at the beginning, there are only 56,000 people interested now. It is increasing at a rate of 2,000 every day. If people can't find their relatives in Anqi City, the portraits given to the church will be handed over to York's mercenary regiments across the country to find them for free. This is a very worthwhile win-win thing for both the church and the mercenary corps.
At nightfall, more than a dozen carriages passed through the South City Gate every day and drove all the way to the south. These carriages were sitting on the city residents who found the portraits of their separated relatives. The church believers sent them to the grassland first, and then Eric continued to arrange them.
The carriages were in a row at a uniform speed. When more than a dozen carriages in front of them were far away, the last two suddenly stopped.
"Please come down!" Several believers who were driving got out of the carriage and shouted disdainfully to the people in the car, holding the blade in their hands, looking very mysterious.
"Aren't you taking us to meet our relatives? Why did you put us here? What do you want to do? Ah!" A muscular bald man was the first to get out of the carriage and roared an unsatisfiedly at the believers who were short of his head.
Those who were still in the car came down and stood behind the fierce man and roared at the believers with his powerful momentum.
"No one of your relatives is separated. Do you think we are all mentally retarded? Go back to the city immediately and tell your president that this set doesn't work for us Lord Linglan! Get out of here!"
After listening to their scolding, the believers pulled out the sharp knight's sword at their waist and pointed them in a row. The hidden momentum poured out from them and rushed to the lazy city people like a river.
When they saw that the matter was exposed, they racked their brains and retreated without understanding. Some people ran for their lives, and some wanted to teach the believers a lesson. But when they saw the strong man just now being kicked more than ten meters away by the short believers, they could no longer run back arrogantly and desperately.
Unconsciously, there is still half a month before the day of the archbishop's election. Ling Lan has been quietly understanding and practicing on the dividing line to the east of Kuer City these days. Since the incident of the enemy's undercover, the church over there has no longer dared to inquire about Ling Lan's secrets.
Those city residents who see their relatives do not want to return to the city, because the villages that Leah built at the foot of the mountain are becoming more and more large. Looking around, the rows of brand-new houses are full of vitality, just like a beautiful scenery on a natural grassland.
For those who are used to living in the city, this is equivalent to a free resort, and they live with their long-lost relatives.
In order to defend the peace of this new land, 10,000 believers with an average seventh-order cultivation are stationed here. It is covered by a huge bright boundary, and more than 2,000 believers provide continuous elemental energy for the boundary every day. The rest of the people practice, patrol, and live a very comfortable life.
