Noble Emblem

"Are you trying to blaspheme?"

The somewhat familiar but more unfamiliar voice made Beta's hair stand on end. He wanted to sit up, but felt that he was controlled by a strong restraint and could not move.

Beta opened her eyes and saw a stunning beauty with long sea-blue hair and a light blue dress sitting on her waist. In the darkness, a pair of jade-white long legs were very conspicuous.

Based on Beta's rich experience, he could clearly feel that Goddess Aqua was wearing nothing under her skirt.

Are these goddesses all exhibitionists?

Beta was like this when she first met Waking, and Aqua is like this now.

"Goddess Aqua, can you get off of me?"

"Why?" Aqua leaned down a little more, and the sweet smell hit her face: "Don't you want to get along with a beautiful goddess like me?"

"It's too high to reach." Beta said seriously: "I know myself."

"Do you really have self-awareness?" Aqua chuckled: "I don't think so."

Beta felt a little confused: "Why do you say that?"

"According to my observation, you are definitely not the kind of person who treats us gods as sacred and untouchable."

Aqua got up from Beta, sat on the edge of the bed, looked sideways at Beta, and continued: "I heard from Woking that you wanted to see me, so I came over."

"So fast?"

Without the restraints, Beta also sat up from the bed.

"I was playing nearby just now, and Watkins said you wanted to see me?"

"Well, yes." Beta put on his coat: "About the Shuide hub. I hope the Water God Sect can participate in it. This will be very beneficial to the spread of your faith."

"Are you thinking about me so much?" Aqua looked touched: "Are you planning to be my pope?"

"How is that possible!" Beta denied immediately.

"It's really boring." Aqua clicked her tongue, and then asked, "How do you need me to cooperate?"

Beta told Aqua her thoughts.

About half an hour later, Aqua stood up and said: "Your idea is very interesting, I think it is feasible. I will let all the Water God Cult help you. Also, if you have any difficulties and Watkin is not willing to help, , you can talk to me under my statue, I will hear you, and I will come to you immediately."

"Thank you." Beta bent down.

Although Aqua may have been 'mentally retarded' before, now that the three gods are integrated into one, Aqua is obviously much smarter than before, and she also looks much more normal. Besides, the two of them are not very familiar with each other, so when dealing with her, there is nothing wrong with practicing proper etiquette.

After all, she was not Watkins.

"It feels like you are chatting with a stranger." Aqua frowned, but then relaxed: "But it doesn't matter, we will spend a lot of time together in the future."

After saying these words, Aqua turned into a blue light dust and flew away from Kojiu.

Three months later, the Cult of Fortune launched the construction of the Grand Cross Canal. In every temple in the cities of Hollevin, priests are dispatched to work on the predetermined routes.

On the section that the canal passes through, about a thousand migrant workers are recruited every five kilometers to work, with food and accommodation provided, and the wages are quite high.

The excavation of this cross canal is not a simple and mindless approach from beginning to end, but a segmented contracting system.

One or several people from the temple will lead the migrant workers to contract the project for the next distance and start construction at the same time.

At least 300,000 migrant workers have been summoned, and the Water God Sect has also participated in this major project. They are not only responsible for protecting migrant workers and treating those injured due to work, but they are also responsible for repairing water in each section of the canal. Below, a magic circle is engraved, and then a statue of the water god Aqua is erected nearby, so that Aqua's divine power can protect this section of the canal. Even if it suffers heavy rain in the future, even if the water level is ten meters higher than the canal, it will not Due to the dike, causing damage to the surrounding environment.

The two sects are working on big projects like fire, which is a good thing, but some people are unhappy.

In King Huolaiwen's city, the young man looked at the dense crowd of court officials below with some confusion.

"During the political discussion in the past, there were only a few people here. Why are there so many more people here now?"

The young king looked extremely majestic.

After a while, a man who looked like a middle-aged aristocrat walked out of the crowd and said: "Your Majesty the King, I suggest that the Wealth God Cult and the Water God Cult be banned from building the Grand Canal."

The young king frowned: "Why?"

"Now the entire country's employment market is in chaos." The man said unhappily: "In the past, a migrant worker worked for one copper coin for two days and three pieces of black bread per day. But now, they charge three copper coins for one day, and they have to pay six White bread. Is that reasonable?"

How much manpower and material resources are needed to build a Grand Canal? The young king couldn't calculate it, but he knew clearly that the royal family would not dare to do this, and even three royal families would not be able to get the money.

But the Wealth God Sect dares to do this.

"The other thing is that our building materials market in Huolaiwen is extremely chaotic now." Another middle-aged man stood up: "Before, the Wojin Church contracted nearly 70% of the country's stone materials. Now with the construction of the Grand Canal, this proportion has reached 90%.”

"We have no stone available, and the price of stone has more than tripled. I want to build a new manor, but I have money but no stone available." Another noble stood up and shouted in an angry voice: "The Cult of Wealth Although they are not aggressive, they have disrupted the market too much. We must ban this sect and drive them out of our country."

The young king was quite unhappy. Even a young man like him could see that what the Wealth Cult did was of great help to Hollevin, and he could not see any harm for the time being.

These three nobles acted like this because their interests were harmed.

The king was about to speak when someone stood up and said contemptuously to the three nobles.

"Let's not mention the matter of migrant workers for now. As for the stone... As long as you have money, you can get as much stone as you want. Mr. Belmundo, as long as you are willing to buy a ton of white stone for one silver coin, I will sell you the entire stone mountain immediately. ,how!"

The middle-aged nobleman named Belmundo was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

In the past, one ton of white stone for building houses cost only ten copper coins. Now the price has increased at least ten times.

Now the merchants and lords who sell building materials are extremely rich. Robbery is not as fast as they can make money.

The king laughed in his heart. It seemed that there was no need for him to step forward. Someone would naturally deal with this group of nobles who opposed the canal.

No wonder so many people came to the Council Hall today!
