Son of the Olden Days

The Phoenix Monastery, located in the town of Greyscreen, is the only monastery in the entire territory under the rule of Lord Savigny, with a long history that cannot be traced.

Because of the remoteness of Gray Screen Town, the lord had also thought of building a monastery in the new town, but there was not much support among the people. Perhaps people felt that the older the existence, the more blessed and blessed it was.

For this kind of things involving gods and beliefs, the lord is not willing to go his own way, so the uniqueness of the Phoenix Monastery can continue.

The personnel structure in the monastery is not complicated. Orphans and handymen have no status. The nuns and deacons preside over the daily rituals and chores, and at the same time manage the choir and the reading platform.

There are also chief priests above, but the chief priest rarely shows up. Most of the time, he hides in the confessional and enjoys himself, or plays small games with the slightly beautiful nuns in the prayer room.

As for the highest-ranking bishop in the monastery, the people below rarely see the fat guy.

In the Guangli and even earlier period of the Ancient Kingdom, the bishops were the real shining group of people on this continent.

They are few in number, directly under the pope, and in the era of the heyday of the faithful, every bishop often controls a large area, even as much as a king in terms of power.

But today in the dark calendar, there is no pope on this continent for a long time, and the word bishop has been reduced to an ordinary name that is not worth mentioning.

Whether in the countryside or in the main city, there will be a bishop in almost every monastery. Their power has been greatly weakened in the theocratic system, and there is not much gold left.

The dark temple is the culmination of faith on this continent today.

In addition to spreading the glory of the Lord of Darkness, the Phoenix Abbey will also accommodate all the homeless orphans in the six small towns under Lord Savigne, but this is not the mercy of God.

As cheap labor, orphans gnawing on brown bread and leftovers must participate in a variety of heavy labor from after the age of nine to the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fourteen, and regularly go to the town every year to lay hands for various shops.

The orphans’ labor remuneration will be confiscated by the monastery and used to offer the so-called ‘divine offerings’ to reflect the piety of their respective beliefs.

If they cannot earn enough sacrifice money in exchange for freedom, the orphans will not be eligible to leave the monastery and live alone in the small town after the coming-of-age ceremony. They can only continue to serve the monastery as a handyman. Those who are unlucky will be given out. Go to the Yal Mine to the west of the town to make up for it.

Of course, a few lucky guys occasionally pop up in every batch of orphans.

This kind of luck can be roughly divided into two aspects.

One is to be favored by the high-level monastery, and absorbed by the monastery after the Bar Mitzvah, to join the ranks of priests.

The other is adopted by a family in six small towns, but the probability is very small.

Moreover, if you are unrelated to a strange family, you have a temporary survival guarantee, but what will happen to your life in the future is actually hard to say.

"The wild breeds who can't turn around for a lifetime, have their hands and feet cleaned up for me. If you can't finish this work before dinner, you can eat your own fingers."

In the bright and sacred hall of the monastery, the elder sister Melissa is akimbo her hands, with a grumpy face driving the trembling orphans to clean.

This humanoid violent bear is still alive.

Sol stood in the corner and showed half his gaze, silently watching the tall and fat figure walking around on the carpet in the center of the auditorium.

Just peeping from a distance like this, Saul felt the flame of resentment in his heart spreading down his blood.

He even suspects that if he closes his eyes at this moment, he might involuntarily fall into a state of ‘cohesion’ because of the violent hatred in his heart.

There are some new faces among the orphans. They were originally children of ordinary families in the town. After the disaster, they all became orphans involuntarily and began to trek through new sufferings.

As for some old faces from the past, it is estimated that they will never be seen again.

"Dirty mouse, sneaky thing!"

Amidst the curse, Thor saw a dark figure flying towards him, a rag that had been soaked.

Although he could easily dodge, Thor only slightly tilted his head awkwardly, and the wet cloth with his remaining strength threw a muffled noise on his neck, followed by a fierce pain.

"Little beast, go and clean out the prayer room and kitchen, or go to the cemetery to sleep with the dead at night."

"Yes, grown-up nun, I will complete your instructions as soon as possible."

Saul bent down his head conscientiously, and the moment Melissa noticed him, his original angry expression instantly turned into a humble appearance with his head slightly lowered.

Walking in the corridor on the side of the main hall, Saul was relieved. It seemed that he had survived the disaster by chance and did not attract Melissa's attention, which means that he can continue to stay in the monastery as a bug in the future. in.

Although Saul wanted to live alone under the dry wells directly out of the monastery, he would always be found by someone who wanted to go in and out of the cemetery in the backyard too frequently.

As for escaping from the monastery, it is even more unrealistic. Orphans who leave the monastery without paying enough money will be charged with blasphemy and will be hunted down by the religious court. Once caught, even if they are not dead, they will have to get rid of several layers of skin.

This is the first month of the spring of 715 in the dark calendar.

No matter how cold, hard or cruel the winter of 714 may be in people's minds, it has finally passed, silently returning to the cycle of time, waiting for the next coming to the world.

Like Sol's judgment by the fire, the lord entered the town with his army carrying supplies and brought a new order after the ice and snow melted in the early spring.

This time the team is much larger than ever before. In addition to supporting the army itself, there are also some caravans carrying goods, and there are also a large number of civilians who seem to be preparing to move into Gray Screen.

People in this era are no strangers to the plague. In fact, similar disasters always occur in every town at different times.

After the test of humanity, after the damned person dies, the disease and fear will always pass, and life will continue.

It is said that in order to balance the population this time, the lord launched a call in the other five towns.

As a result, many unfamiliar faces have poured into Gray Screen for various reasons. There are always some people who are unsustainable in their lives or provoke strong enemies to desperately. There are also those who think that they are discerning that Gray Screen is profitable. Because reconstruction after the disaster means more opportunities.

It may be because of luck, or the monsters in the wilderness were busy with hibernation and did not wake up in time. This time the huge team went through the dark wilderness with great success, and there was no dangerous battle on the road.

On the day the team arrived in Gray Screen, the survivors of the small town rushed to the main street to watch, and at the same time expressed their praise and support for the Lord's kindness.

Sol did not participate in the excitement, but stood on the corner of the street far away from the crowd and watched the unprecedented grand occasion.

In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, old and new faces were mixed, and Sol suddenly realized that there might not be as many people who died in this disaster than he thought.

I have to sigh that life is fragile and life is also strong.

The parents of the Courville sisters did not come back with the team. It is said that their father was injured and was accompanied by his mother to recuperate in Yuanmu Town.

However, their father had a brother in Dry Leaf Ridge, and this time he came with the army to take over the Joyce family's property.

Now the sisters, uncle, aunt and a younger brother live together and have a new family.

After more than a year, the almost frozen time finally flows again.

Sol felt that some of his previous plans could be picked up.

At this time, just after the morning, many parts of the town were already lit, and the monastery was already bright.

The long-lost light brings stability again, but it doesn't make much sense to distinguish between day and night in this dark world all day long.

When he went to the backyard well to fetch water, Sol saw many people in the open space in the backyard living area.

These are some children of the same age as Saul, about 30 people, who seem to be very leisurely, gathering in groups in small groups to whisper to each other.

They are different from orphans. Each of these children has a certain business in the small town.

They don't need to participate in any labor in the monastery. Apart from listening to oracles to consolidate their faith and participating in some daily sacrifices, the monastery does not restrict them too much.

The reason why they appear in the backyard may be just because there are not many places for entertainment in the town, and they simply mix with their peers.

If you pay a huge tuition fee, the monastery will also open some special subjects for them, and they can selectively learn a series of related courses such as literacy, social etiquette, and religious history.

Looking at the entire territory, this so-called learning is of little significance to most ordinary families. In addition, the trouble and danger all the way from other towns to Gray Screen makes it unnecessary.

Even if some families care, they finally retreat because they are overwhelmed by the expensive tuition fees they need to pay.

Most families often choose to let their children gradually participate in family business or farming after the coming-of-age ceremony. Life is the best mentor.
