Chapter 34 Unity is strength

 Because there was no effective detection method, Li Yu asked Jane to take antibiotics for another four days just to be on the safe side.

By the fourteenth day, the girl had completely recovered and even started to learn weaving from the nun in the castle.

In addition to wanting to make money to help her brother share some of the financial pressure, she also said that she would personally sew a cloak for her savior Li Yu in the future to express her gratitude.

Fitzwilliam witnessed with his own eyes the miracle of his sister's recovery from near death. The smile that bloomed again on the latter's thin little face also made him feel unprecedented excitement and relief.

At the same time, he did not forget his agreement with Li Yu.

In the early morning of the 15th day, I walked alone towards the west. After a day's trek, I came to the place where the black smoke was rising as Li Yu said.

Contrary to what the shipwright imagined, there is no grand temple made of boulders, tall statues of gods made of bronze, or elegant priests in colorful robes.

The first thing that caught his eye were the strange loaf-shaped buildings. The smoke he saw earlier was coming from these strange buildings. If he looked carefully, he could see burning and beating flames from behind the small holes below.

Some shirtless guys with fierce looks on their faces, who looked like they were not good-natured people, would add branches or dried straw into the small holes from time to time to ensure the fire was strong.

Burning a kiln is a tiring job. Once the kiln is fired, it takes three or four days at a stretch.

The fire could not be stopped in the middle, so Li Yu organized the lizardmen responsible for burning bricks into several shifts so that they could rotate regularly to avoid one group of people working for too long.

Just as the shipwright was looking blankly at the brick kiln in front of him, some lizardmen also noticed him.

Outsiders are a very rare species in the Shuangxiu religion.

Except for the dragon-hunting team that was previously on a mission, ordinary people living in the green fields would hide as far as they could from these bandit neighbors who came out of the swamp.

Basically, no living person will appear within the field of vision of the lizard people. Well, livestock and poultry can't be seen either.

Previously, a villager's geese came here, so the villager simply didn't want them.

Therefore, Fitzwilliam's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the lizard people.

However, when the lizard people discovered his half-orc characteristics, their eyes became a little unkind.

Most of the noble lords on the Bratis continent are half-orcs, and their ancestors have suffered a lot from these half-orcs.

Many relatives and friends of the lizardmen also died under the swords of those evil lords and their orc warriors.

If Li Yu hadn't repeatedly emphasized that they should not conflict with people outside the territory, they would have definitely chosen an auspicious day to run out in the dark and teach the nearby orcs a lesson.

Well, although I can't move my hands, it seems good to scare the guy in front of me and teach him a lesson.

Thinking this way, some lizardmen began to approach Fitzwilliam.

Of course the shipwright can sense the hostility around him, but he is not a native of the West, nor does he understand the grudges between the lizards and the nobles of the green fields.

I don't understand why I was treated with hostility by the people here without even saying a word.

But Fitzwilliam reacted quickly and took the initiative to speak, explaining loudly, "My name is Fitzwilliam. I am here to thank Prophet Merlin for saving my sister. At the same time, I also want to join the Shuangxiu Cult."

However, after he finished speaking, he found that the group in front of him seemed to have not heard anything and was still approaching him.

It wasn't until a guy who was transporting fuel suddenly threw away the straw in his hand, ran over, and started to translate for his companions, that the boatman suddenly realized that these people didn't understand what he just said.

At this time, Fitzwilliam no longer expected to communicate smoothly with the lizard people. He just wanted to find Li Yu quickly.

But then a dirty hand hugged his shoulder.

The guys who had been eyeing him covetously before seemed to be a different person now, becoming more hospitable and hospitable, and they all looked like his long-lost brothers.

Others, after hearing that he had been on the road for a day, ran back to his residence to bring bread and water and asked the boatman to fill their stomachs first.

The lizard people have watched city promotional videos frequently in recent days and listened to Li Yu's lectures on Saturday's teachings. They have now regarded the establishment of a land-based Kingdom of God as their lifelong mission and pursuit.

They also hope that one day they or their descendants can live in those forests made of steel and concrete, sit on those small iron boxes that can travel thousands of miles, drink a drink called milk tea, and go to convenience stores called convenience stores.

Eat a Shuanghui ham sausage in the magical hut.

Everyone is looking forward to such a day coming sooner and sooner.

However, relying on their own strength, although it is not impossible to achieve this, it will take an extremely long time.

Not to mention them, even their sons, grandsons, and grandsons' grandsons may not be able to see that day coming.

So the lizard people asked Li Yu, the prophet, if there was any way to speed up this process?

Li Yu used brick burning as an example. The number of bricks a lizard man can bake is limited. Just making the embryos would take ten and a half months, not to mention the subsequent steps of entering, firing, and leaving the kiln.

But a group of lizardmen organized together and through reasonable division of labor and cooperation can greatly shorten the time required to bake bricks.

The same goes for building a land-based Kingdom of God. It requires everyone to put aside their past prejudices, stop hatred, and unite all forces that can be united.

This example is intuitive and vivid enough, and the lizard people obviously also remembered Li Yu's answer.

The so-called force that can unite, of course, refers to people who also believe in Saturday, or who are preparing to believe in Saturday.

To put it simply, as long as you believe in Saturday, then we are half brothers.

This simple theory was also put into practice by Fitzwilliam.

The lizard people surrounded the shipwrights who were both flattered and confused. Since most of them didn't understand the language, they could only express their goodwill by patting their shoulders or extending their thumbs.

In addition, many people shared with Fitzwilliam the good things they had obtained during this period, including but not limited to food, fruits and the pieces of underwear they had snatched from Li Yu.

Li Yu never expected the lizard people to help him preach. At least in the short term, he had no such crazy plans, so he never taught the lizard people how to win over new companions.

Therefore, the current behavior is purely spontaneous by the lizard people, and the scene looks very primitive and crude.

But it is precisely because of this that it appears to be particularly sincere, especially for someone like Fitzwilliam who has experienced a major blow in life, had to leave his hometown, traveled thousands of miles, and suffered a lot of looks and disgust along the way.

It gave him a feeling of being accepted and tolerated again, as if he was surrounded by relatives again, and he almost shed tears again.
