A month later, the Salak Monastery was completed as scheduled.
This monastery took two months to build. The monastery is located in the southwest of Blackhammer Castle. The entire monastery was dyed pure white. It is next to the city wall and is not large in scale, but it is used for believers to pray.
There is still a lobby.
In addition, unlike other monasteries, when the Salak Monastery was built, workers also built a small house next to it as a medical room. Because many of the followers of Salak were originally doctors, they knew some medical skills and could treat the wounded.
Most of them involve medical skills combined with divine skills, not just kneeling down and praying.
Two months was originally not enough for the construction time, but since the construction of the monastery started immediately after the city wall project, there were still materials left after the city wall was built, so the steward Muros asked the workers to put the remaining materials
It was used for the construction of two monasteries.
In addition to the small size of the Sharak Monastery, it can be completed in just two months. This small monastery is not like the large palace in the capital Kislev or the Sigmar Cathedral in the empire. It is a very simple one.
The house, even the prayer hall, can only accommodate about twenty people. Compared with those real cathedrals, there is still a big gap.
After the monastery was built, Priestess Lyanna finally saw a smile on her face. She had been waiting for this moment for two months. The completion of the monastery meant that she could preach in the castle more conveniently.
, at least, the completion of the monastery means that the owner of this castle recognizes the goddess of mercy.
Lyanna and the two good sisters around her were actually not bad. As far as Rhodes knew, before the monastery was built, they walked around the city, spreading the gospel of Sarlacc, and influenced many people.
Within two months, more than ten members were recruited.
Some of them were seriously injured people who were cured by them. These people were about to die. It was the priestess who saved them from death. They couldn't believe it. The remaining few were women from poor families.
Their lives were originally poverty-stricken and they lived a life of hunger. The goddess of mercy symbolized love and mercy, so she could naturally win the favor of these people. But favor is favor, and after believing in Sarak, their lives were just as miserable...
"Goddess of Mercy, may you show us the way..."
In the small monastery, the lights are bright, and people are kneeling in the hall, praying devoutly. Since the monastery was built, people have been visiting here every day. After all, many poor people still look down on doctors...
Rhodes stood outside the door and could see the scene inside, where there were mostly old people and children. They knelt down and worshiped under the statue of the goddess with serious and serious expressions.
This was probably similar to the scene he saw in front of the church in his previous life. Those believers always looked very pious... maybe they were really pious. In short, Rhodes didn't know. He only knew that religion was still a thing in the medieval world.
A very powerful force. Some religions even have their own knights, armed groups, and the leaders of the religious groups have also integrated into the country's ruling class. Sometimes, these religious groups will be asked to do things that the official cannot do. It can be said that
, in the medieval world, various religious groups were actually a force that cannot be ignored. Sometimes they even affected the political situation.
But Rhodes of the Goddess of Mercy Sect does not have to worry. It was originally a "charitable organization" that saved lives and healed the wounded. Unlike other sects, the Sharak Sect can be said to be an out-and-out Diao Si sect. Those who have been hit by life or physically tortured
People come to pray before the goddess of mercy, hoping that the goddess can have mercy on them and alleviate their pain.
This is originally a religion that comforts others and never encourages people to kill. Moreover, most of the people who join them are poor people in society. They are troubled by disease and poverty, and they come to Sarak in desperation.
Pray. Sometimes, the priestesses of Sharak will give these poor people some food and soup to relieve their hunger, and even give their own food to these desperate poor people. This is originally good for social stability.
.
"Lord, don't you go in and take a look? The monastery you built with your own hands is full of poor people."
Priestess Lyanna walked out of the monastery. She was still wearing a white and clean robe, with a delicate face and hibiscus on her clear water. She gave people a sense of tranquility and serenity. This reminded Rhodes of what happened in Iron Ring City not long ago.
At that banquet, although the women there were also good-looking and well-made, they were all wearing heavy makeup, and they were not exuding natural body fragrance, but the smell of inferior perfume, which made people uncomfortable. But Lyanna was different, she always
So calm, appearing without makeup. It makes people feel comfortable.
"Oh, no, I was just passing by to see you."
Rod returns.
"Come in and take a look. It's you who took them in."
"No, it was Sharak who took them in, and the goddess of mercy took them in."
Rhodes answered with a smile. Lyanna was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled. When their eyes met, Rhodes felt something not quite right brewing in the air.
"So, Lord, do you also believe in Sarak?"
The priestess looked at Rhodes with a pair of eyes as clear as water, her words filled with expectation and excitement.
"Oh...I just told the objective facts."
Rhodes explained euphemistically. It is difficult to explain clearly at this time. If you say in front of passers-by that you don't believe in Sarak, it will undoubtedly confuse the people. If you don't believe it, why build a monastery? But you can't pretend to believe it.
Otherwise, based on Rhodes' understanding of the priestess, she would stop telling you stories about the Goddess of Mercy for a long time... and Rhodes has long passed the age of listening to mythical stories...
"Oh, I really hope you can become one of us." Lyanna obviously heard the meaning of Rhodes' words. She did not bother and just said quietly, "Disease, war, poverty, too many...
Suffering tortures the world, and it is the goddess of mercy who saves the world, frees them from all this suffering, and gives them a better life. Sir, I just hope that you can calm down and listen to the voice of the goddess. Maybe one day you can
Hear it.”
"maybe."
Rhodes returned with a smile. He turned and looked at the other side of the road, where another larger temple was slowly being built. The statue of the bear god Esun would become the tallest statue in the entire castle...
