kvmb Chapter 157 Earth Temple
Chapter 157 Earth Temple
[Land God Temple: Can be built at any stronghold for 10,000 Spirit Points. Only one temple can be built per stronghold. After construction, you can offer incense at the Land God Temple. After offering incense at the Land God Temple, you can teleport through the territory module.]
Teleport point!
That's right, the function of the Earth God Temple is to teleport, and once you have this Earth God Temple, Lin Tian can return to his base with a single click.
The only regret is that you have to offer incense first, which means that even if he builds a land temple in Black Wind Village, he can't teleport there.
After looking at everything, Lin Tian decided to move on to the next place.
Hopefully, there aren't too few psionic crystals in the city lord's mansion.
.................
"Have you heard? The leader of those rat monsters is a human!"
"Ah! A human! Then how did he end up with those rat monsters?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's a human in disguise. After all, only a rat monster can command rat monsters, right?"
"Stop talking, shut up! They're here!"
Two days have passed since the Battle of Kurta, and people have basically returned to normal life. Compared to the previous Kurta, the current Kurta has a new kind of creature.
Ratman!
On the day the city fell, the civilians were in despair, thinking that the ratmen would eat them after the battle.
But that wasn't the case. These ratmen didn't do anything to them, or rather, they weren't interested in them at all.
Their greatest interest lies in building statues. They build statues everywhere; basically, every public place in the city has one of their statues.
The statues come in all shapes and sizes, but they are mostly ratmen, all kinds of ratmen, some carrying shields and spears, some carrying bows and crossbows, and some even with two heads.
Of course, besides these, there is a very special statue that is not yet completed, but judging from its size, it should be the largest statue in the entire city.
"I don't think so."
"Your foot carving doesn't look like a real foot at all!"
"You have completely erased the king's divine might!"
"Then come on, shout!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
In the heart of Kurta, a magnificent statue rises from the ground; the common people remember that this place was once used to display the statue of the first king of the Sand Kingdom.
The statue is now gone, clearly toppled by some group. As for who it was, the common people dare not ask, but they all know the truth.
That's incredibly brave...
Even if Conte was extremely licentious, he wouldn't have such audacity. The common people were even more afraid of this newly appointed city lord.
Of course, they were even more afraid of the ratmen, since the ratmen looked so terrifying that civilians would either avoid them or simply hide wherever they went.
The rat people didn't think much of it. At first, they didn't understand their behavior, but later they were happy to think that the common people were afraid of them, which made them walk with their heads held higher.
"what is this?"
"Reporting to Grandpa Mouse, this is Sandfruit Castle."
"Hmm... give me one to try!"
"Uh...this..."
"What? Aren't you selling this? I'll pay you! Or maybe..."
You look down on me!
"No, no, no, absolutely not!"
Perhaps afraid that the mouse would get angry, the person selling the sandalwood burger immediately took one out from underneath and gave it to him, breathing on it before wiping it vigorously.
It's no wonder they were so humble, because the soldiers in Kurta were like that before. They would eat anything they saw and then not pay for it. In this situation, they were expected to have a good attitude. If they showed even the slightest displeasure, they would be beaten up or even locked up in jail.
"Give!"
"Keep the change, please!"
The mouse took the green sandalwood castle, then took a crumpled banknote from its pocket and tossed it to the man.
"Thank you, Grandpa Mouse!"
The vendor accepted the money with delight. It was the first time he had ever seen a soldier pay for his meal, and judging from the soldier's tone of "don't need change," the amount given this time was quite substantial.
However, when he saw the coin, his vision went black.
"Grandpa Mouse!"
"What's wrong?"
"Um...it's nothing."
"Fool."
Seeing the rat walk away, the vendor cursed under his breath. The reason was simple: what the rat-man had given him was not sand or paper inlaid with sand, but a group of self-portraits of them!
When he called out to him, he instinctively wanted to ask what it was, but when the rat-man turned around, he was too scared to speak.
Hey~
If you don't want to give it, then don't. Why pretend to take a piece of paper?
The vendor sighed helplessly, sat down, looked at the drawing paper in his hand again, and even held it up to the sun for several moments. After pondering for a long time, he finally put it in his pocket.
It might come in handy later.
...................
Are you sure she can handle government affairs?
Lin Tian sat in an extremely luxurious chair, looking down at the three people kneeling in front of him.
"Yes, all the young people in the family need to learn this. Although it has declined in recent years and there are no specialized teachers, there are still some books available for reference. My daughter loves reading these books the most."
“I believe there is no one in the city more suitable than him to handle government affairs.”
Loren knelt before Lin Tian and spoke each word clearly. Judging from his tone, he did not seem to be lying.
So Lin Tian looked at the girl. Well... she had delicate features and did look like a rich young lady. According to Loren, she was a child born late in life.
When Lin Tian looked at her, she nodded cautiously. Although she smiled, her trembling hands showed that she was somewhat afraid of Lin Tian.
Should we hire her?
Lin Tian pondered. Now that he had captured Kurta City, he couldn't just abandon it, as it was one of his strongholds. However, he knew nothing about government affairs and didn't even have the time to deal with them. The current situation was that he had to find a trustworthy and truly capable government official.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me, I don't know how either."
The little mouse next to me covered its face with its hands and said shyly.
I didn't ask you.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Tian decided to use them for now. These people didn't seem like bad people, and judging from their previous status as nobles, their level of education was definitely higher than that of ordinary commoners.
In addition, they had a grudge against Kant and were not Kant's former subordinates, so they were more at ease using their services than others.
So be it.
After agreeing to Loren's recommendation, Lin Tian waved for the others in the hall to leave. Once they were gone, Lin Tian leaned back in his chair for a moment. After the hall returned to silence, Lin Tian suddenly stretched out his hand. A burst of light condensed, and after a few seconds…
A scale appeared in his hand.
