Chapter 8 Preparation, Counterattack (Part 2) ()

The ceremony of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was not grand, but most of the adults in the town were present.

The real sacrificial time was not long, it lasted less than a quarter of an hour. During the ceremony, there was a solemn and solemn atmosphere spreading, and it seemed that a warm breath gently brushed over everyone's hearts, making everyone feel peaceful.

Even Murphy could feel this special power.

He also found that on the strategic map, there seemed to be panic in several gnoll gathering points that were relatively close to the town of Athens. Because the icon above is showing that these Jackals are evacuating to the rear. And the icon is divided into two, one group fled in the direction of the mountains, and the other group hid in the dense forest.

Is this the power of the gods?

Just as Murphy stared at the faint light condensed on the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, in a daze, a powerful coercion also spread from the statue. This coercion bypassed the residents of the Athens town, and centered on the town, released it to the land within a radius of 50 miles, which was the land that Murphy had detected on the map!

The supreme scepter, with the wrath of Thunder!

Even though the divine power of the Goddess of War is still very weak, the coercion emanating from the statue still has an impact on all creatures of the evil camp. This power made those Gnolls feel fear and trembling, making them want to escape from the scope of this power irresistibly. These creatures without much intelligence have a more obvious and stronger feeling for this most primitive and direct coercion!

At the last moment of the ceremony, Murphy's retinas seemed to have all kinds of wonderful mutations, because he saw traces of white light emerging from the praying townspeople outside the temple. Then, under the guidance of the high priest, it was incorporated bit by bit into the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

The light turned into points of light, shining like fireflies around the golden idol.

When everything returned to calm, all the light spots were absorbed into the statue, and a small part of it poured into the high priest who presided over the ceremony.

At the end of the ceremony, a faint white light appeared on the statue, which lasted for a long time, as if it really had the brilliance of a god!

The residents of the towns and cities of Athens stared at the statue of the god emitting a faint white light in awe, and carefully exited the temple bit by bit.

Murphy watched all this, and the thoughts in his heart couldn't help changing.

What is that white light?

Is it faith? The power of the gods?

Will the light condensed by devout believers be thicker and brighter? This may explain why the light condensed by the believers in the first row is brighter.

"Your Excellency! The power of the goddess has been restored. I hope you can build a new temple as soon as possible." The high priest's beautiful face has a trace of brilliance that has not dissipated, and he looks like an apostle of a god, making people feel Awe, no blasphemy tolerated.

Murphy carefully looked at the woman in the pure white priest's robe in front of her. She had soft lines, exuding a feminine aura from top to bottom, and as the high priest and apostle of the gods, she had an extra sacred aura on her body. . It makes people feel close unconsciously and has inexplicable affection.

"Are you stronger?" Murphy asked speculatively, looking at the pure white light on the woman's body.

It seems that today's ceremony gave Murphy a hint of the high priest's favor. Her face was no longer as calm as before, but she showed a slight smile, and put her hands together in front of her chest and said: " This is a gift from the Goddess!"

"I will arrange for the expansion of the temple tomorrow. But the most urgent thing now is to clean up the gnolls entrenched outside the town of Athens." Murphy stared at the soft and beautiful high priest in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I need to make a batch of holy water as soon as possible. Because there are With it, my warriors can fight without fear!"

The high priest looked at the handsome young man in front of him, with a hint of admiration on his gentle face. She pointed to the few female believers who hadn't left under the altar, and said slowly: "Their beliefs are very pious, and they have the qualifications to become priests." Talent. With their help, the temple will be able to produce the first batch of holy water tomorrow."

"Very good." Murphy nodded, and continued: "Then I will assemble the army tomorrow."

After speaking, Murphy turned around and walked outside the temple.

"Wait a minute!" Just as Murphy was about to walk out of the temple, the high priest seemed to remember something, and stopped him again. "Your Excellency, you are the lord of the town. You need a gentle and virtuous wife and have an heir as soon as possible. Moreover, you are already an adult."

Murphy was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't expect the high priest to ask such a question.

According to ancient thinking, a lord must have an heir. Because this means that everything can be passed on safely. Having an heir has a great effect on uniting the territory and uniting the hearts of the people.

It's just that as a modern person, Murphy is really not in a hurry about this aspect.

Besides, his body after transmigrating has only just turned sixteen years old.

Seeing that Murphy was slightly dazed, the high priest smiled and pointed to the newly promoted priests waiting quietly under the altar, and said slowly: "They are the most beautiful girls in the town, and they are all pure virgins. If If you don't want to marry now, you can choose a servant from among them."

Sleeper?

Is it similar to the ancient Tongfang girl?

Murphy looked at the newly promoted priests under the altar. Most of them were between 14 and 18 years old. They had a beautiful appearance, and their eyebrows were slightly immature, but they carried a trace of pure and beautiful girls. Under Murphy's gaze, these young priestesses couldn't help showing a hint of shyness on their faces, and lowered their heads unconsciously.

Looking past these girls, Murphy involuntarily set his eyes on the soft and beautiful face of the high priest.

Compared with the beauty of these young girls, the soft aura of a mature woman on the high priest's body attracted Murphy even more. The soft lines, the exquisite and mature body wrapped in the pure white priest's robe, the raised chest and the round buttocks all attracted Murphy's attention. And the holy aura of being the spokesperson of the gods made Murphy feel even more amazed and fascinated for a moment.

This is a woman as gentle as water but with a sunny breath.

She is a woman who makes people feel peaceful when they are close to her, like a ray of spring breeze blowing on the face, all troubles are gone.

The high priest felt Murphy's sight very sensitively, and a trace of blush appeared on her jade-white skin. She turned her back and said in a soft voice: "I am the high priest of the goddess, and I must ensure the health of my body." pure."

Murphy smiled faintly, then shrugged and turned to leave the temple.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the dreamlike scene where the high priest suddenly overlapped with the goddess of wisdom Athena when the temple was just built.

The festival made the residents of the town feel peaceful, which greatly relieved the anxiety caused by the wolf man's occupation these days.

As the night fell, the townspeople who had been busy all day began to fall asleep. Only the soldiers in charge of the night watch were still patrolling everything around them.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, he lay down again in his spacious and bright room. The soft velvet quilt could arouse Murphy's drowsiness, but he still activated the auxiliary system of "Total War" first, and carefully studied its changes.

Temple: Temple of Leadership

Level: Second-level temple. (It can be expanded.) (Note: Magnificent temples can always be admired by mortals, increasing the chance of gaining believers.)

God: Athena

Portfolio: Wisdom, War, Peace, Fertility, Craftsmanship

Divine power: Lesser divine power, thunder (this is the power of the king of the gods of Olympus!)

Divine Art: Second-level divine arts bestowed.

Has priests: 12 (up to 36 priests can be cultivated)

Has believers: 846 people.

The next level: Add a third-level divine spell gift, and after upgrading to a temple, you can train temple guards in the temple.

Explanation: The second-level temple has divine spells that can grant priests the ability to cure diseases and purify wounds. Through this temple that has been bestowed with glory by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, priests can produce twelve ounces of holy water every day. Holy water can speed up the healing of wounds and cure some simple diseases. After taking holy water out of the shrine, it loses its potency after twenty-four hours.

twelve ounces?

Murphy didn't know much about this unit of measurement. In his vague memory, sixteen ounces seemed to be equal to one pound. And one pound is roughly equal to nine taels.

In ancient times, it was all hexadecimal.

Calculate again, uh, Murphy is a little dizzy.

The conclusion reached is that the holy water produced by the second-level temple is about half a catty a day.

After the number of believers increased, the 'lower divine power (endangered)' in the auxiliary system data disappeared. Apparently, the power of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was increased by the number of followers. The ceremony prepared today is obviously very useful, and more than 600 believers have been added in just one night. But this kind of thing is one and only. If you want to expand the temple, you must first expand your own territory. Without enough population support, everything is empty talk.

However, the mention in the auxiliary system of being able to train the Templar Knights aroused Murphy's curiosity.

According to Murphy's estimation, as the guardian of the temple, the knight guard should have a high combat effectiveness.

It's just that I don't know if this Knight of the Palace is considered one of his arms?

If it is one of the arms, does it mean that he can recruit other arms than the Greek arms?

With daydreams about the bright future, Murphy slowly fell asleep.

However, on the other side of the Governor's Mansion, the Marquis Elizabeth, who was lying on a hard bed, couldn't fall asleep.

At this moment, her heart is full of regret and self-blame...
