498 Alice is gone
Two weeks later, the bard came back. He not only brought his relatives over, but also brought several colleagues. These colleagues came over with their relatives, with a total of about eighty people.
If we only look at the number of people in one household, this is considered too much. If we look at the urban population, it is very small.
When Harris registered his household registration, he found that there were more than ten people reading, and there were more than a dozen talents with special expertise, which was a surprise.
Unfortunately, only more than twenty of them were willing to believe in the goddess Wojin, and they were all people with no talent. But it doesn't matter. Beta believed that under the policies he formulated and inspired by the doctrine of the divine religion, most of them would soon become shallow believers in the Temple of Wojin.
After several bards settled their families, they took Beta's money and went out to promote Wojin City for him.
Emma has been in Wojin City for almost two months and has been reluctant to go back. She always said that the journey was too far and there was no way. Beta had to set up a teleportation magic array in the basement of the City Lord's Mansion.
With the convenient mode of transportation, Emma returned to her lord for a few days, but when she came over again, she actually brought her mother, former queen Angel.
Angel was also surprised by the changes in the wetlands, and then he took a room in the city lord's mansion.
Beta can only say that if he has a mother, he will have a daughter.
Emma and Beta have a very good relationship. It is no problem whether they send a maid to serve her. Anyway, Emma is also very independent and can solve many trivial matters by herself.
But Angel is different. This is the former queen. Beta thought about it and pointed Julie over to serve her.
Since he arrived at the wetland, Julie watched Beta and Shirley turn the mud swamp that was not suitable for human habitation into a fertile plain, and also saw their hard work and efforts.
In her heart, Julie did not hate Shirley and Beta. She knew how she and Joshua stood up from the dangerous quagmire and became the best. She also knew very well that at first, Beta did not target Joshua. It was because Joshua was too proud and wanted to use her benefactor to do things for her, which led to a conflict.
When she came to Woking City, she originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but then she thought about it, a weak woman, where could she go to find Joshua after she escaped, and the outside world was very sinister, so it would be better to stay here, at least much safer. She could see that Beta had no interest in him.
Moreover, as long as Joshua has a little affection for him, he will come to this city to look for him one day.
With this idea, Julie stayed at Woking City to work with peace of mind.
Everyone has their own ideas, including small people. Whether they are right or wrong, they are always the decisions they make. But many times, the decisions they make are just the result of guidance, such as fate.
For example, the general trend.
The former is the behind-the-scenes chess game for conspirators, while the latter is the self-drive of the will of the entire world.
And holy war is the general trend.
Amanda returned from Frost Star Kingdom and brought back many incoming talents. She also received Beta's reward, a gold coin sacrifice, pushing her merchant level from lv1 to lv3.
The Frost Wolf clan entered Wojin City. Although they had some friction with the locals at the beginning, after a period of time, they also adapted to the laws of Wojin City.
Then, many minstrels who went out came back, and at the same time they brought back new news... In other countries, the Zoroastrian Church and the Storm Church officially declared war.
Emma soon received the oracle of the Goddess of the Storm. As a saint, she was ready to go to the country of Garucha to participate in the battle.
At this time, Beta realized that the holy war that he had been worried about was finally coming. Although it was just a fight between the Storm God Cult and the Zoroastrian God Cult, he knew that this was the fuse, and the holy war that soon affected the whole world would begin vigorously.
Emma left, but the former queen Angel stayed. Her words were very direct and reasonable: "Emma is going to Garucha Country, and I am a weak woman. If I stay in Isnais, I might be bullied by malicious people, so I have to stay here, at least safe. I will not drag my daughter down."
Angel put her hips on her chest and stood up, proudly. Although she was already a mature woman, the pretty girl's posture did not make people feel inconsistent. There is no shortage of rooms in the city lord's mansion, and the other party spoke nicely and reasonable, so Beta could only pinch his nose and recognize it.
Since the holy war is coming, the Wojin Temple naturally has to be careful. Beta leaves Shirley in Wojin City and teleports to Tonggu City himself. He calls Saro and Kati together and specifically tells them to pay attention to protecting the hard-earned situation of Tonggu City. He also tells them all about the situations that are prone to occur during the holy war, and repeatedly reminds them to be careful and be cautious in everything.
Then he teleported to Windwind City and talked with Kyle for a while.
Beta found that Kyle's dead aura was very heavy. Of course, these dead auras were not emitted by Kyle, but were contaminated.
Beta was a little curious and asked what was going on.
Kyle sat on the chair and smiled bitterly: "I have come a lot of bears recently. I feel like I can't kill them all, and I feel a little tired of killing them."
Beta frowned: "How is Reed Village?"
"This is thanks to the large city wall you built in advance. Not to mention the Bears, it is difficult for us humans to capture. Besides, there is not much wealth in a small village, so the Bears are not interested in Reed Village, which is very safe there."
After a pause, Kyle poured Beta a glass of fruit wine and asked, "You came here this time, you won't just chat with me, there should be other things."
"Well. The jihad is about to begin." Beta sighed: "For ambitious people, this is a rare opportunity, but for ordinary people, it is another disaster. I don't know how many people will disappear into this jihad."
Kyle was also silent. He was a brave man and was born to resist such things. After a while, he rubbed his forehead and asked, "Is there no way to avoid the occurrence of the jihad?"
"The chessboard of the gods is not something that we can jump out of." A faint light was hidden in Beta's eyes: "Unless we also have the strength to be chess players."
Although Beta's words seemed very relaxed and light, Kyle heard a sense of evil spirit, a kind of evil spirit that was unwilling to be merciless.
He knew that his teacher was not an ordinary person, but aiming at the gods was no longer the idea that normal humans should have.
