Chapter 126 Church
Lawrence is very concerned about the mysterious church.
I don't care about safety. The environment here in the north is harsh, and I believe few churches are willing to come here.
Even if a missionary like Kenny appears here, it will only be at the level of preaching, and it is still hundreds of years before invasion.
The church has very advanced technology, and Lawrence feels that it is impossible to build such a palace-like castle building just by relying on his own strength and knowledge.
Log houses are already at their limit. It is really difficult for a designer who is not a professional designer to create the kind of luxurious manor villa that I remember.
Therefore, if you have a good relationship with the church, you can have some reference for important matters like this in the future.
Lawrence wanted to know the church's views on witches. It was not appropriate to ask about this kind of thing for the time being. He would consult slowly after a while.
With Talim Poison Witch here, it is convenient to ask this question.
As for Salil and Sophia, Lawrence has never told anyone else.
The Cloda people are hiding in the world, so there is no problem there.
After resting for the night, Lawrence took Kenny back with him.
Bull was already pregnant, and she felt relieved after handing Kenny over to Lawrence. From now on, whether she gets married or works with Lawrence, it will be normal, and there won't be much reluctance or affection for her children.
Lawrence asked: "Kenny, do you know about Bull's pregnancy?"
Kenny said in embarrassment: "Yes."
Lawrence said: "Relax, it's okay, she is just asking you to borrow a child, but I hope you will come back in the future. I can see her and the child sometimes."
"Yes, Mr. Lawrence." Kenny agreed with shame.
Lawrence said: "You will stay where I used to live, in the house on the mountainside. I will take you to see the beehives. From now on, you will take care of the bees. You can grow vegetables and make wine in your free time." "You can make your own wine
. , make bread for yourself, and I am the lord here, you need to pay taxes to me, do you know?"
Kenny said in horror: "No! This is absolutely not possible! This is more serious than killing me. If I pay taxes to me, You pay taxes, which is blasphemy against God!"
"This is against the doctrine and brings shame to the 900 churches and monasteries in the Durela area!"
Kenny knelt down directly, grabbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, "Please grant me death! I will never pay taxes to people outside my faith!"
"You have so many rules." Lawrence sighed: "Get up, I won't kill you."
Kenny breathed a sigh of relief, stood up again and followed Enter Lawrence.
Lawrence asked: "Don't your nobles collect taxes?"
"They collect taxes, but they don't collect taxes from the church." Kenny said proudly: "The nobles and kings will donate money to the church, every year!"
Lawrence Said: "Then your church must be more powerful than the king. I only know that the weak pay taxes to the strong. The bishops and knights of your church must be much more powerful than the knights and magicians of the nobles!" Kenny explained: "
Dear His Majesty the King and those kind-hearted nobles made spontaneous donations out of respect for the Lord of the Dawn." Lawrence
said speechlessly: "It's useless for you to talk nonsense to me. We will recognize who is strong and who is weak here, and the church will be strong. Yeah."
Kenny didn't refute.
Lawrence has known the Pumixiu people for a long time, and they also lived in Telangtaho City for a period of time.
It is actually easy for barbarians to become religious, and it is easy to transform from the current primitive worship and nature worship to the worship of specific gods.
Moreover, the king and nobles could only rule a few people, while the church won over the majority of the people.
The church possesses the advanced science and technology of this era, and it also possesses powerful mysterious power. No matter how you think about it, the church is stronger than the loose aristocracy.
Lawrence acknowledges that the church is strong.
However, Lawrence was sure that religious people could not defeat unbelievers.
The religious nobles and people in the west were vulnerable to the irreligious barbarians.
It should be said that the barbarians are relatively fanatical. If they meet the more fanatical believers in the church, they will probably fall behind.
The church's mobilization power is stronger. After the barbarians attack the church, they must cooperate with the church and recognize the church's unique status if they want to defend their territory.
Lawrence is not yet sure of the power of the church and will not take the next step until he knows the details.
Lawrence did not continue to test the church's power, but Kenny soon revealed his intentions.
"Mr. Lawrence, are you a believer of the Oak Wise Man?"
"No." Lawrence said directly: "I haven't found faith yet. Why are you asking the Oak Wise Man?"
Kenny said happily: "It seems that you don't know. Vip may be a follower of the Oak Wise Men, a vicious sect who believe that people, like oak trees, can bathe in blood and gain eternal life." Lawrence was not a
child who believed in everything. He said casually: "Oh, that's it. Since they like blood so much, they can definitely become berserkers."
Kenny said hurriedly: "These devil believers will not do that, they will only use dirty and despicable methods to kill innocent and kind people!"
Lawrence: "But I think Wu The Ug people are not innocent and kind, they were worshipers of oak trees in the past. There is a very large oak tree in the Ug tribe, which should be hundreds of years old." Kenny was suddenly startled and showed a solemn expression
.
"Where is that oak tree?"
Lawrence glanced at Kenny, "It's in the Ug tribe. Everyone saw it when we attacked the Ug tribe last time. If you want to go, go by yourself when you are free. The corpses there must have attracted a lot of wild beasts, and you can rely on hunting on the way to raise enough dry food to get home."
Kenny hesitated, and finally suppressed some thoughts.
"I will abide by the agreement and keep bees for you first. Did you just say that there is already a beehive here?"
Lawrence said: "Yes, I have already raised a box of bees, but I don't know the details. I will take you there. , you will be in charge here from now on."
"Great!" Kenny said happily: "This will save a lot of time!"
Lawrence placed Kenny in the house, and told Reglo not to bully this man, and then Take Saryl and Sophia home.
"Sariel, do you think that Kenny has a mysterious power?"
Saril affirmed: "No, he is just an ordinary person, very weak."
Lawrence asked: "Then do you know the oak tree of the Ug people? What's going on?"
Salil thought hard and finally shook her head, "I don't know, I've never heard of it."
Sophia followed up and said, "I don't know either."
Lawrence didn't mean to ask Sophia at all. He quickly said: "Then wait for a while and see if Andrew comes back. When he comes back, ask him."
The Pumixiu people have already set off for four or five days. According to normal time, they should be back in about forty days.
Saliel thought about her father and hoped that he could come back to see her and Lawrence's new home.
