Chapter 50 Inspection
Two days later, Ganouen, accompanied by Shitou, began to inspect the work progress of the sixth-floor temple.
"Greetings to you, master."
"Hello, master."
As soon as the elves working at the scene saw Ganon, they all stood up and saluted, looking a little reserved.
Ganon raised his hand and motioned for them to continue working.
There are eight elves working on this floor. In addition, there are four stone clone golems working together and assigning tasks to everyone.
"According to this progress, the roof will be capped in a week. Then there will be the internal decoration work, which is expected to be completed in five months." Shitou explained for Ganouen.
"It's faster than I thought." Ganon nodded with satisfaction.
After bringing the elves liberated from Elmira back to the territory, Ganon asked each of them to sign a modified [Prisoner Contract].
In addition to providing labor in person, the magic power extracted from them by the Endless Tower can also increase the operating power of the [Butler], allowing the number of golem bodies that the stone can control to reach nine.
"These elves are very enthusiastic about restoring the temple. They are all followers of the Druid religion. One of them is a sculptor and can assist in the restoration of murals and reliefs." Shitou said, leading Ganon to a wall. forward.
Here, a thin male elf is working with a golem to paint on the wall, making line drawings for later reliefs.
When he noticed Ganon, the male elf turned around and saluted him: "Master."
He seemed calmer and calmer than the others. Ganon had been introduced by Cohen. This elf seemed to be a well-known person in Muxia. sculptor.
Elmira took a fancy to his skills and tried every means to kidnap him. She did not torture him in particular, so he was not as afraid of the dragon as others.
"Don't worry about me, keep busy." Ganon nodded towards him.
The sculptor nodded, but did not return to work immediately. Instead, he hesitated and asked, "Please forgive me for asking boldly. The master asked us to repair this temple. Are you also a believer of the goddess of life?"
" Whatever you think." Ganouen did not directly deny it.
It can make these elves work harder, and he doesn't mind if the other party identifies him as a believer like them.
The sculptor nodded thoughtfully: "In all my years of living, this is the first time I have seen a dragon willing to respect life. May the goddess of life bless you." After
saying that, he turned around and continued working.
Ganon looked at it for a while and then walked away. When there were no other elves around, Shitou came to him and said, "Master, when the repair work on the sixth floor is completed, what do you plan to do with them?" "Your work
. The progress is so fast, why not build the upper floors as well." Ganouen said.
"Please forgive me for going too far. It may not be appropriate to continue to allow these elves to participate in the restoration work on the upper level." Shitou said.
"Why?" Ganon glanced at Shitou.
"One level up, the seventh floor is the temple of the God of Destruction, the patron saint of the assassin profession, the 'Mother of Nothingness' believed by the dark elves, whose true form is the God of Destruction." Shitou explained in a low voice.
"Oh?" Ganon recalled his memory.
There is also a classic setting in this world where elves and dark elves are mortal enemies. As a red dragon, Helganorn does not know the historical origins of the two races, but it is well known that the two races have a feud. common sense.
"Actually, elves will also cultivate assassins. They are allowed to believe in the 'Night Goddess' - which is actually a subordinate of the God of Destruction, but they will never be allowed to believe in the 'Mother of Nothingness'. I want to continue to let them repair the upper
level They may be resistant to work and affect the work progress. And if you plan to release them in the future, it is best not to let rumors that are not good for you spread in late summer." Shitou explained.
"There is always a feeling of self-deception." Ganon commented, "Let's stop at this level for now."
However, he can probably understand that so-called faith and religion are also political tools in themselves.
Due to political factors, it is forbidden to believe in a certain main god, but to believe in one of the incarnations of that god or its subordinate gods, or to disguise the god of belief into other appearances, thus dividing various sects, which should be in this world Not uncommon.
"When this layer is repaired, the temple will be operational, right?" Ganon asked.
He imagined that after the temple was repaired, it would be able to meet the conditions for distant transfer. Cohen and his two partners were all mid-level druids. In addition to the elves here, there were also two entry-level druids.
"I'm afraid not, my lord. Unfortunately, none of the elves here can meet the requirements. To be inspired by the divine seal, you must at least be above the master level. This is the minimum requirement for serving as a priest." Shitou replied.
"It's so troublesome..." Ganon muttered.
From Zhenna, he had some understanding of the divisions of various professions.
In fact, the master realm is basically the ceiling that most people with god-given professions can reach in their lifetime.
For Zhenna to reach this level at this age, in addition to her fairly good talent and her own hard work, the most important thing is the devotion of resources given to her as a princess.
It is not easy to get a Druid who is more than a master to serve as a temple priest.
"How was Elmira's body disposed of?" Ganon asked.
"It has been preserved in the 'Bone Burial Ground'." Shitou replied respectfully.
Before setting out to deal with Elmira, Stone advised Ganon that after killing the green dragon, he could bring back the green dragon's body, because the dragon's body was an extremely precious material.
"When the Temple of Death on the eighth floor can be opened, the corpse will come in handy. The 'bone burial ground' near the Endless Tower can preserve the corpse." Shitou said.
Ganon didn't know until that time that the small piece of barren land near the rocks near the Endless Tower had been infiltrated by the power of the Death God. It was set aside by the believers of the Death God Temple to hold rituals and preserve spells. of the body, and the body buried there will not decay.
No wonder Helganorn used to feel uncomfortable whenever he came near it.
"There should still be many corpses left in the past preserved in it. Although some have been deliberately corrupted to a certain extent by necromancy in order to extract corpse poison, there are also some that are relatively intact and can be used as food reserves when necessary." Shitou also mentioned this. Mouth, Ganon wanted to shake his head when he heard it.
He does not have the scavenging habits of the black dragon.
He walked to an open window and looked down.
From here, you can see the ranch he is building. At this time, the elves and golems arranged underneath are building fences. In the distance, Cohen and his companions are bringing back the grazed horses.
"I'm going to inspect the pasture." Ganon said and jumped out of the window, spread his wings and flew towards the pasture.
