Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 76 Colossus

Holy city, Bethlehem.

As the civilian believers recruited by the church gradually arrived in Bethlehem under the supervision of the private soldiers of various nobles, the Holy See's long-awaited plan to build the Colossus was finally officially launched.

The colossus of the God of Light is located on the mountain range north of the Lateran Palace. It looks majestic from a distance, but the difficulty of construction has also increased a lot due to the geographical location.

The civilian believers who were escorted were divided into several different groups and performed different tasks under the supervision of the Crusaders soldiers.

Fifty civilians from the Idar Territory, headed by Mike, were incorporated into a team mining stones outside Bethlehem.

There is no difference in the four seasons of the year in the holy city of Bethlehem. It is known as the place where the God of Light comes. The sun is shining almost 365 days a year. Although it is still spring, the air is still full of sunshine. There is already a bit more heat in the air.

Under the scorching sun, hundreds of shirtless civilians were digging into the rocks on the mountain under the supervision of the Crusaders.

The construction of the Colossus required a large amount of stone, so the workload of these civilians was actually huge.

Every morning at five or six o'clock, the soldiers of the Crusaders would wake them up, and every night, they would have to wait until it gets completely dark at seven or eight o'clock before they could rest and eat.

However, despite the high-intensity work, the meals prepared by the church for the civilians who dug the rocks were extremely limited, so that many people could not even fill their stomachs and had to work hungry.

This also led to the fact that in just a few days, many civilians were exhausted from the heavy labor and fainted while digging rocks.

In fact, it's no wonder, after all... the life of civilians in this era is too difficult, and the most common appearance is lackluster appearance and malnutrition.

Such intense labor is enough to completely collapse their weak bodies.

In today's Norman Empire, this has almost formed a universal vicious cycle.

The frailer the commoners were, the more limited the land they could farm and the smaller the amount of food they could harvest each year.

The less food there is, the less likely civilians will be to fill their stomachs, and will not have enough energy to farm...

Coupled with the taxes, labor and tithe payments arbitrarily assigned by the lords, this made the already difficult life of many civilian families in the Norman Empire even worse.

As a result, just a few days of work made some civilians fall sick from exhaustion.

"Bang!" A Crusader soldier slammed the whip in his hand onto the back of a civilian.

"Look at other people's speed! Look at yours! You are building a colossus for the God of Light. No one can be lazy, otherwise, the God will punish you!" the soldier cursed, and then used He pointed at another group of people not far away: "Look at those Idar people! Don't you feel ashamed?"

That’s right!

The fifty civilian believers from Idar headed by Mike did not find it difficult to do such work, because they had accumulated enough experience when they built the hanging garden.

Knowing how to mine stone saves effort, and knowing how to give yourself a short break to adjust between work.

And since the amount of ore that each civilian needs to dig every day is fixed, these civilians from Idar are often the first to leave work, and even the Crusader soldier who supervises their work can go back earlier.

When Mike finally completed his quota for the day and was about to return to the camp with the others, he finally noticed the beatings happening on the other side.

He listened from a distance, then frowned and walked over...

"Dear Sir Soldier..."

Just when the soldier was about to wave the whip in his hand again, Mike's moderate voice floated into the soldier's ears from the side.

The soldier turned around and saw only one of the Idar people, Mike, looking at him with a smile, while his right hand made the sign of the cross on his chest.

"What's wrong with you?" the Crusader soldier asked angrily.

"The God of Light teaches us to be kind to others and not to be evil to others..." So, Mike started his performance.

The Crusader soldier was stunned for a moment, suppressed his blush, and then said angrily: "After you finish your work, go back to the camp. Don't get in the way here!"

Mike quickly made a sign of the cross on his chest with his right hand, and then said in very sincere words: "I am willing to complete the task that he has not completed for him!"

What?

This time, not only the soldier, but also the civilian who was being whipped was confused.

"You mean... you're willing to cut rock for this guy?" the soldier asked in disbelief.

"Yes! The God of Light teaches us..."

"Okay, then use this guy's tools to mine quickly!" the soldier said impatiently.

Seeing Mike volunteering to help other civilians, the Idar people present were all shocked!

yes!

They remembered that their Earl once said that labor can redeem sins. In this case...

Then if you help others dig rocks, not only do you work hard, but you can also reduce the burden of others, then... wouldn't this be double atonement! Double the fun!

As a result, this group of excited Idar civilians actually started to come forward and took the initiative to look for unfinished work!

The Crusader soldiers who oversaw the work looked at each other, UU reading www.uukaｎｓ． net This was the first time they had seen such strange things.

These people...could they be crazy...

But it cannot be said that these Idar people are lunatics.

Because the people of Idar opened and closed their mouths with the words "The God of Light told us." Although some of the words said by the God of Light in Idar's mouth were not heard by even the Crusaders who had been on duty in the Holy City for a long time, but But I have to admire from the bottom of my heart the madness of these Idar believers for the God of Light...

That’s right! In the eyes of many Crusader soldiers, these Idar people who come to work here can no longer be described as belief in the God of Light. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe them as crazy...

Therefore, from this day on, stories about the Idar people began to quietly circulate on the construction site outside the holy city of Bethlehem...

Thanks to "Qiying" for the reward! I wish you all the best and all the best!

Let me make a few digressions here,

I usually come to the recommended website at the starting point at two o'clock on time, but I didn't come until after three o'clock today...

My little heart is so ups and downs, so uneasy...

Starting next week, the PC version will be split and the APP will be highly recommended. This should be considered a good recommendation in the science fiction category.

This is all thanks to everyone's rewards and recommendation votes. It stands to reason that in order to express his overwhelming gratitude, the author should add more...

but!

The author has to be busy packing his luggage to go back to school over the weekend.

Therefore, the updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow may be quite tense. I can only say that I will try my best to write and try to ensure normal updates...

At the end, I carefully ask for recommendations...
