Chapter 206 Has God’s providence reached such a level?
Chapter 206 Has God’s favor reached this level? (25)
After leaving the Hound House, Rosen saw Xia Bolay and five teams of Silver Moon Rangers waiting on the roadside at the intersection.
Ranger Captain Watson, who we worked with back then, was also there.
The difference is that Watson's military rank has only been promoted by one level, to senior sergeant major, which is one level lower than that of a knight.
He now envies Hamil very much.
Chapoletto brought a horse, which was prepared for Rosen.
Rosen skillfully got on his horse, then took out a stack of paper and handed it to Chabolai.
"Uncle, this is the warehouse where the grain is stored. It's about 600,000 diras."
"You ask the four teams of brothers to take them out separately and transport them all to the racecourse in Maple Leaf Manor in the eastern suburbs of the city."
Shapolai's eyes widened: "Six hundred thousand dira?! When did you prepare so much food?"
"Just in the past month, okay, I will explain to you slowly in the future, and hurry up to transport food!"
Shapolai immediately issued an order to the Silver Moon Rangers, and each of the rangers separated to get food.
Rosen quickly gave a few more instructions: "Ask the warehouse clerk to help transport it, and the freight will be charged to my account."
"When I meet refugees along the way, I tell them that there is a large relief station in the eastern suburbs of the city, with enough food pipes and tents for rest."
"We need to take the initiative to publicize it, do more publicity, and let as many refugees know about it as possible."
"As you command!"
The four teams of Silver Moon Rangers took their record sheets and went separately to get food.
The remaining team serves as the escort for the two.
Rosen waved his hand: "Let's go to the south of the city temple!"
A group of people rode towards the temple on horseback, just like they did in the Moonlight Battlefield before, with Shabolai taking the lead, Rosen following behind, and surrounded by a circle of Silver Moon Rangers holding shields.
On the way, Rosen asked: "Uncle, have you had any trouble on the road before?"
When he mentioned this, Xia Bolay's face suddenly became more solemn.
"You really guessed it. There was nothing wrong with me on the way to the military camp, but I was attacked on the way out."
Rosen's heart trembled: "Uncle, there are so many of you, how dare you make a sneak attack?"
Xia Bolai sighed softly: "The opponent is very cunning. He stepped on more than a dozen gravity traps without even seeing anyone. If it hadn't been for your rune stone, he would have been too late to come over."
Rosen immediately asked: "Is it a temporary trap?"
"Probably, the layout is very messy and there are a lot of footprints left."
Rosen understood and said with a smile: "It seems that our actions are fast enough and sudden enough."
"The other party didn't expect it at all, so it was too late to respond effectively. When panicked, they could only use these dirty tricks."
This time, he was just cutting off the opponent and playing a blitzkrieg that left the opponent unable to react.
Therefore, the biggest danger is not during the incident, but the revenge from Faerun afterwards.
Chabolai nodded slightly in agreement: "That's right."
Rosen asked again: "Has your elder brother done anything?"
"He led his troops to Crescent Town to exterminate the rebels. He just left half a day ago."
"Is it the count's order?"
"No, he went directly, saying he wanted to avenge his brother-in-law."
Rosen sighed: "When Fubos comes back from Crescent Town, there is a high probability that he will not be able to be the commander of the legion."
What is the difference between the legion going alone without the earl's orders and rebellion?
Xia Bolay shook his head: "I didn't explain clearly."
"The eldest brother did not bring the entire legion, but only 400 of his own personal guards. These are the soldiers that my aunt allowed him to mobilize freely."
"But my aunt has sent people to chase her. We should be able to get her back, unless my eldest brother is crazy."
Rosen understood, but still shook his head: "Even so, it is still very reckless and will further lower the count's evaluation of him."
He looked at Xia Bolay and said seriously: "Uncle, you don't have enough force and reputation, but now there is a great opportunity to come. As long as this wave of refugees is gathered together, your image in the highlands will be greatly changed."
"But don't expect success in one step!"
"This just gives you a chance to compete with your big brother. You will still have to work hard until you completely defeat him."
Xia Bo Lai nodded vigorously: "I understand, as long as you support me, I can continue to fight with my elder brother."
"Of course I will stand firmly by my uncle's side."
The Hound House is not far from the Chengnan Temple, and soon it is near the Chengnan Market Square.
The market was also crowded with refugees.
Due to the arrival of refugees, all shops in the market were closed, and the order of daily life was seriously affected.
These refugees are much more orderly than other places because the temple has opened a relief station and is distributing cooked potatoes to the refugees.
The quantity is very small, potatoes the size of a baby's fist, two adults and one child, which can barely make people starve to death.
The distribution speed is also slow, and it can be seen that it is deliberately delaying time.
This shows that the temple was caught off guard by the refugee wave and was not fully prepared.
Rosen took a detour to the temple's backyard. After landing, he saw the guard at the back door, a familiar face.
"Uncle, wait for me here. I'll go see the officiant and I'll be out in 10 minutes at most."
"good."
Chapollet had no idea at all, he could only think what Rosen said.
Rosen dismounted and asked the guard: "Green, where is the officiant?"
"I'm worrying in the back hall."
"Why are you worried?"
"More and more refugees are pouring into Silver Moon Castle, but the food prepared is not enough. The chief priest is worried that something will happen."
"I understand. I'm going to see the officiant."
I quickly entered the apse and found the gray-haired priest Fa'ao kneeling in front of the statue and praying intently.
Hearing the footsteps, he didn't move his body: "Who is it?"
"It's me, the officiant."
Faao opened his eyes in surprise: "Master Rosen, why are you here?"
Rosen smiled slightly: "Come and help the officiant solve the problem."
Priest Fa'ao's expression changed: "Continue."
"General Chapollet has prepared nearly 600,000 diras of coarse grains, intending to use them all to appease the refugees, but he does not have an identity that is convincing enough for the refugees."
Priest Fa'ao was startled and looked at Rosen carefully for more than ten seconds before he spoke in a solemn voice.
"Mage, do you want the Omician brothers to kill each other?"
Rosen knew that he couldn't hide his intentions from Faao, and in fact he didn't plan to hide it because he needed the support of the officiant.
If you want the refugees to follow Shapolai out of the city smoothly, they must have the temple's endorsement.
He said quickly: "Fubosi is a reckless man. He is a good warrior but not a good lord. Chapolai may be dissolute, but he is kind and generous. I beg the chief priest to give him a chance to prove his ability."
Time was tight and he spoke very fast.
The officiant also realized this and answered very quickly.
"God sent an oracle a hundred years ago and no longer participates in disputes about secular power. As the representative institution of God in the world, the same is true for the temple."
"Priest, this is not a worldly dispute. Chabolai brought 600,000 diras of food, and this food is the heavy rain that extinguishes the flames. It will save countless lives!"
"And obtaining food is Xia Bo Lai's own ability. If Fu Bosi comes with food, the temple will naturally give Fu Bosi the status of an envoy to help the people."
"No, this food is definitely not Chabolai's, it's yours."
"I support Chapollet, what's mine is Chapollet's!"
Priest Fa'ao paused for a moment, then sighed.
"Rosen, you have a great future. Even God appreciates you very much. There is no need for you to participate in such secular disputes."
"Priest, I am a mortal, and my interests are closely related to Silver Moon Castle. If the refugee crisis is not extinguished in time, something big may happen."
"Priest, there is not much time left to consider."
"Every second you hesitate may lead to unspeakable tragedy."
"Perhaps this matter has nothing to do with the upper-class nobles at first, but the flame ignited from below is extremely difficult to extinguish. Once it burns brightly, each of our lives will be greatly affected, or even completely destroyed!"
"I know you know this very well, officiant!"
After urging again and again, Priest Fa'ao finally gave in and let out a long sigh.
"Then do as you wish, Master Rosen."
"When Xia Bolay arrives, I will designate him as God's messenger to help the people. He will come forward to relieve the refugees on behalf of the temple."
"Thank you very much for the support of the officiant. General Chapollet is at the back door."
"No, God does not support either side, and I will always be with God. God just doesn't want to see his people suffer."
After a pause, Faao asked: "Master Rosen, what are you going to do specifically?"
"We plan to find an open space outside the city to set up a large relief station."
"In fact, Master Bilugu expressed support for my move. He is willing to open the racecourse on his estate as a temporary relief site."
Priest Fa'ao was surprised again: "Bilgu also supports Chabolai?"
Rosen smiled slightly: "I didn't support it at first, but I convinced him."
Fa'ao was shocked again and seemed to have gotten to know Rosen again: "You have foreseen this scene today. No, you have been prepared for it!"
Rosen nodded slightly: "I am prepared, but in fact, I also know who stole the city gate."
The officiant immediately asked: "Who is it?"
Rosen took a step forward, whispered a few words softly, and then stepped back to a normal ceremonial distance: "Priest, in fact, you have already guessed who it is, right?"
Priest Fa'ao took a long breath and nodded slowly.
"I did notice something, but his family is indeed far more prosperous than the Omisia family. It is impossible for a male lion to surrender to a wild wolf for a long time."
He stared at Rosen: "To be honest, Master Rosen, I don't want you to get involved in such a fight. If you stay out of it, no matter which family comes to power, your life will not have any impact."
"But now, you have become the sworn enemy of that family, and your future life will become very dangerous, and you may even return to the Kingdom of God early because of this."
This is a golden saying.
Rosen nodded and said: "Thank you to the officiant for your kind words, but God has said that every mortal has the right to choose his own path, and this is the path I want to take."
"Understood."
Priest Fa'ao stopped trying to persuade him and got down to business.
"There are people behind this incident who are instigating. I'm afraid they won't sit back and watch you take the refugees outside the city."
Rosen smiled: "Unless the instigators also give enough food, there is no point other than exposing themselves."
Eating is the last word, empty words are useless.
And he has temporarily filled the bellies of at least five to six thousand people in the Hound House.
However, Priest Fa'ao shook his head and stared at Rosen: "Master Rosen, I am worried about your safety."
There was something strange in his eyes, and Rosen's heart moved, and he heard the subconscious mind of the officiant.
This was intended to give him some rewards, but some of them were not in line with the rules of the temple.
So Rosen took the initiative to ask.
"Master Priest, I am the Divine Grace Mage now. I took a big risk to rescue the siege of Silver Moon Castle. Should you give me a few lucky charms to protect me?"
Priest Fa'ao nodded slowly: "You are right."
"Although God does not want you to get involved in too many worldly conflicts, it can be seen that you are an extremely restless mage."
"You do have the right to be protected by God."
He waved to the deacon, whispered a few words, and the deacon ran to the backyard of the temple.
After a while, Priest Vina came in a hurry, holding a box in his hand.
She was afraid that the officiant would see something, so she kept her eyes on the ground and handed the box to Rosen.
"A high-level thorn talisman, use it carefully."
The officiant was startled: "I mean to give three middle-level ones."
The high-level thorn talisman is very powerful, extremely difficult to create, and very precious. The exorcist warriors in the temple have never seen it, let alone used it.
Priest Vina argued softly: "Priest, Master Rosen's actions have saved countless lives, and he is also a mid-level mage. It means nothing to him to give him a mid-level one."
Priest Fa'ao was speechless. Just when he didn't know how to answer, Rosen had already taken the wooden box.
After taking it, he bowed deeply to the statue.
"Thank you for God's grace. I will definitely not disappoint God's expectations!"
In fact, there is a high probability that it will not be used this time, but it will definitely be used in the future, and he is also extremely interested in the spell structure of the high-level Thorn Talisman.
The matter has become a foregone conclusion, and time is running out. Priest Fa'ao can only sigh and acquiesce, but he still feels a little strange in his heart.
So, he quietly glanced at Weina, only to find that Weina was secretly looking at Rosen's back. There was something wrong with her look!
The chief priest, Fa'ao, was someone who had been here before. He understood it after thinking about it for a moment, and his heart was slightly shocked.
"Did God care for Rosen to this extent?!"
If God had not acquiesced, there would have been no way that Vina would have had a relationship with Rosen, because God could easily influence the priest's emotions.
As a result, Faao's slight dissatisfaction with Rosen disappeared.
