679 Keep working

When the nobles from various territories on the island returned to their territories, Surrey Castle also became quiet.

But this is not a bad thing for Lawrence, because he actually doesn't like the kind of interpersonal communication that welcomes and sends people off. So after everyone left, he just happened to be busy with some of his own work.

These tasks are divided into two parts, one of which is the daily management of New Saul Island. As the lord of this island, the management of the territory is an unavoidable task.

If we were in the past when all kinds of information exchanges were inconvenient, Lawrence could still use the method of delegation to leave all the work to his retainers and then be lazy himself.

But in today's era of wireless, when Lawrence's retainers deal with certain more critical matters, they will naturally produce a series of documents for Lawrence to make the final decision.

Because for nobles, one of the most important manifestations of ruling power is to have the power to make decisions when facing some key issues.

The retainers under Lawrence were all very traditional and loyal, so the construction group headed by Steward Bayer all abided by this rule and asked Lawrence to comment on those documents.

To be honest, the content inside these documents is a bit boring, most of them are related to the construction of the island, and what Lawrence has to do is to give instructions and review the settlement of final expenditures.

In addition, Lawrence also needs to express his attitude towards some temporary events. For example, in the recent period, the most important temporary event on New Saul Island is the issue of temple construction.

The issue about temple construction is actually closely related to the current ascension ceremony of the little doll Nora, because after completing the ascension ceremony, these beings that gradually evolve into gods will need something similar to the church to condense their faith.

And light the divine fire.

Each existence has some differences in its approach in this regard. If it is an existence that is contrary to the mainstream, it will enter a long incubation period and build a cult hidden in the darkness.

And those beings who are alone and don't violate taboos will spread their beliefs bit by bit and build their own churches in corners and corners, areas where other gods don't pay much attention.

As for beings like Nora who have obtained the explicit permission from the gods of a civilized race, it is simpler and easier. They can directly do some church construction work before the results of the ascension ceremony have come to fruition.

After all, even if this kind of ascension ceremony fails, the mortality rate will not be too high, so no matter whether the final result is success or failure, it is considered a very normal thing to lay a foundation for the future in advance.

According to traditional customs, a licensed being like Nora can actually make various preparations one or two years before the ascension ceremony, such as building a temple or church and early publicity.

It's just that the speed at which the little doll upgraded in extraordinary strength was so fast that everyone in the know was caught off guard, so that all the things that should have been prepared in advance at this time were piled together, making it seem extremely rushed and chaotic.

Fortunately, these buildings are not required to be completed before the end of the Na** God Ceremony, so there is still a certain amount of time on the island that can be used for adjustments. But even for preparations, everyone needs to be busy for a long time.

Done.

The ascension ceremony faced by each being who is about to become a god is different, and it is inextricably linked to their own level, race, and the power they may have in the future.

Although the internal information of each church also records a lot of information related to this ceremony, it is only a reference for the existence of the upcoming ascension ceremony.

Although Lawrence and Nora cut off most of the contact for safety reasons, Lawrence still sensed some of the problems faced by the little doll through that soul connection.

Because the two parties had consciously cut off contact, he couldn't say clearly what the specific problem faced by the little doll was. However, Lawrence could vaguely feel that this problem mainly came from some external parts of Nora's knowledge and power and the world.

compatibility.

According to the rules of this world, knowledge is power is not an empty statement, especially for gods.

A being who is about to become a god will obviously feel the obvious impact this world has on them, but correspondingly, they will also affect the entire world in turn.

This is also the core of the ascension ceremony. By letting the two forces blend together, the world and the ascension person can slowly accept each other, and finally achieve a balance of power.

But for Nora, because he got too much knowledge from another world from Lawrence, the process of getting used to it was naturally much more troublesome than the natives of this world.

Fortunately, through soul connection, Lawrence can feel that these problems are just troubles for Nora, not too difficult, so the results are not too bad.

Generally speaking, except for the possibility of prolonging the time of the ascension ceremony, there are no additional dangers that would endanger the safety of the little dolls during this ceremony.

But even so, Lawrence still spends a few minutes every day checking on Nora out of concern to make sure there is no fatal danger. Fortunately, everything seems to be going very smoothly these days.

Compared with the work on Sauer Island, the work Lawrence is facing now with Green Island and even the entire Northern Islands seems much easier.

After the last party, the nobles on the island also returned to their own territories and started to get busy. The most important thing was to count the received goods and prepare to start the next round of trade.

For these nobles on the island, they must seize this once-in-a-century development opportunity. If they accidentally miss it, it may cause a family to never recover.

At the same time, because of the stimulation of this trade, the lords on the island also began investigation activities on their respective territories.

Although most of this area is covered with thick snow at this time, which seriously hinders communication and movement. However, stimulated by wealth, some elite investigation teams have entered the snowfield and started investigation work.

Of course, because most of the lords in this region are facing the problem of insufficient strength. Therefore, they do not send a team to each territory to investigate, but multiple lords jointly form a team to carry out investigation work.

For example, the Viscount of Surrey is like this now. He, two surrounding barons and a self-conscious organized an elite investigation team, and then went to the eastern mountainous area shared by the three parties to launch a large-scale investigation.

Because they didn't know which place to investigate first, they came to ask Lawrence before setting off. After thinking about it, Lawrence suggested that they go to the mountainous area with less obvious terrain.

The reason why he put forward such an opinion is also very simple, because since the area has abundant geothermal resources, it can be judged that the geological activities on the road are relatively intense, so theoretically there should be some metal minerals.

Although the Viscount of Surrey owns the smallest mountainous area among the three cooperating parties, as the leader of this matter, it is inevitable to pay some price at the beginning to gain everyone's trust.

And compared to the other two lords, the Viscount of Surrey, who found a shallow open-pit coal mine on the sedimentary plain downstream of the mountainous area, is not so financially stressed now.

So at this time, he can naturally increase his reputation by exchanging money and giving profits to his companions.
