Celestial Mage

Chapter 251 You can have a personal relationship, but you must pay attention to the influence (34)

Crescent Town.

Because of the sharp depreciation of construction costs, the buildings are very tall and spacious.

Such is the case with the lord's castle.

The front yard is the town building, and the back yard is the lord's private residence.

There is no big deal in a small town, so the area of ​​the town building is not too big, but it is 10 Ram, and it is divided into three floors.

As for the private house in the backyard, since it was the lord's personal house, and it was built with money from the lord, naturally the bigger the better, it took up an area of ​​more than 30 rams.

The main building occupies about 10 Ram. In addition to gardens, artificial lakes, magic laboratories, alchemy laboratories, etc., all kinds of functions are available.

The temple is also huge.

The main hall and the backyard cover an area of ​​15 rams. The height of the main hall is 15 meters, and an additional 20-meter-high bell tower is added.

The bell tower is the tallest building in the town to show the supreme authority of the Golden God in the mortal world.

After Rosen came back, he had a little intimacy with Selandis and Gendroni, and immediately came to the temple.

As the endorsement agency of the Golden God in the mortal world, every lord must show his respect.

In the past hundred years, after the God of Gold issued the oracle of the separation of God and man, the temple gradually detached from the world.

But more than a hundred years before the oracle was issued, the temple was the most powerful force in the land of gold.

Not to mention the frightening Jingshi Temple, if the chief priest in the area sees a lord who is unhappy, if an excommunication order for belief is issued, the lord will have to kneel down and beg for mercy on the spot.

Of course, this kind of thing has rarely happened in the past century, but since the God of Gold is only retiring rather than declining, it has always been possible to happen.

For this, Rosen had to entertain the priests of the temple.

Get out of the lord's castle in a carriage, and turn half a circle along the town square, less than 200 meters away, is where the temple is.

The carriage stopped at the main entrance of the temple.

As soon as he got out of the car, the two temple guards at the gate saluted him together, calling him "Master Rosen who bathes in divine favor".

Rosen nodded in return, walked a few steps, and a young deacon trotted up to receive him.

He took off his hat and windbreaker and handed it to him to put away, and explained the purpose of his visit: "I'm here to visit Priest Priest Planpan."

The chief priest, Pulan Pan, was the New Moon Town chief priest that Rosen met when he was promoted to the divine grace mage.

At that time, he was the one who rushed back to Silvermoon Castle overnight to report the latest situation of Crescent Town to High Priest Fao.

The chief priest made a contribution. At this time, Xinyue Town was built, and the new temple should be managed by him.

In short, this is the personnel arrangement within the temple, and Rosen has no intention of interfering, as long as the other party cooperates with the work.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white robe and golden sleeves came out. When he saw Rosen, he smiled gently, his face full of sincere admiration.

"Ah~ Mayor Rosen, the Temple of God you built is really magnificent, far beyond my imagination."

This temple is brighter than the Great Temple in the south of Silver Moon Castle.

Rosen smiled slightly: "I am very honored to be appreciated by the officiant of Planpan."

Pulan Pan stretched out his hand to make an invitation letter: "Mayor, it's not convenient to talk in the front hall, let's talk in the back hall."

"my pleasure."

The two went to the apse side by side.

The apse is naturally very spacious, but the main decoration is done according to the standard of the temple. The most eye-catching sculpture is the inscribed triangle circle of the Golden God.

But because the place is spacious, several semi-open small chat rooms were set up separately for conversation.

These rooms have large windows inlaid with frosted glass on one side and wooden screens on the other side, which not only ensure a certain degree of privacy, but also have very bright light.

The two sat down in one of the chat rooms, and the deacons then brought tea and snacks.

Plumpan said to another deacon, "Go and show the mayor the name list of the temple personnel."

In the future, Rosen will be the lord of Crescent Town, and for this kind of town-level temple, a small part of its income depends on donations from believers, but most of its income depends on the lord's share.

Since the lord is the big benefactor, he is naturally qualified to know who the temple has raised, and he also has partial review authority over the temple personnel.

After the gods retreated, the temples were actually gradually secularized.

Soon, the deacon brought a detailed list.

Rosen took a closer look.

There are a total of 66 people in the temple, one chief priest, three official priests, 3 assistant priests, 12 daily servants, a team of 30 temple guards, and a team of 10 exorcist warriors.

Among the official priests, the healing priest is Sister Wei Na.The captain of the exorcist warrior turned out to be Filin.

Thinking of the shy, gentle and plump sister Wei Na, Luo Sen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and a small flame ignited in his heart.

But the existence of Fei Lin made him feel a little surprised.

"Officer, shouldn't Feilin be the captain of the exorcist team in the Great Temple of Silvermoon Castle? Why did you come to me?"

This is a downgrade.

Plumpan sighed: "Filin used to be the team leader, but as a person, he is very clear about big things, but he always makes mistakes in small things."

Rosen raised his brows and guessed: "Did you make the girl's belly bigger outside?"

He can understand the temperament of this former comrade-in-arms very well.

'cough cough~~'

Officiant Pulanpan couldn't help but clenched his fist and coughed lightly, his face full of embarrassment.

"Everyone said that the mayor spoke frankly and never concealed it. Now it seems that it is true."

Then, he nodded to confirm Rosen's guess.

"When I was on a mission, I slept with the unmarried daughter of a down-and-out jazz. After my stomach got bigger, the old jazz went to the temple angrily."

"Principal Fa'o thought of Ferlin's many times of desperate battles with demons and made countless contributions to the gods, so he lowered his face and settled this matter."

"But any mistake has a price to pay, so the position of the captain is gone."

"The high priest means to let this prodigal come to you and put him under your control."

Rosen spread his hands: "After all, I will take care of my life-and-death comrades who once faced the evil god together."

Afterwards, he handed the list back to Plumpan: "Officer, what do you estimate is the daily operating expenses of the temple?"

Plumpan had already prepared for this point, so he immediately began to calculate for Rosen.

"The funds for the temple are divided into three parts. The monthly funds for priests and warriors have already been spent on daily operations."

"For ordinary priests, 200 crowns a month is enough."

"The warrior is divided into two parts."

"Exorcist warriors have to go out to perform tasks, and often face danger to their lives, so the monthly salary is very high."

"Under normal circumstances, low-level exorcist warriors pay 15 crowns a month, mid-level exorcists pay 30 crowns, and high-level exorcists must pay 70 crowns."

"Now, Filin is already a high-level warrior. Among the other 10 people, there are 3 middle-level warriors and 7 low-level warriors. The total is 265 crowns."

"The other is 10 temple guards. Their monthly gold is 7% of that of an exorcist warrior, which is 186 crowns."

"There is still a daily expenditure left, which adds up to about 500 crowns. I will give a list of specific expenditures later."

"So, the monthly expenditure adds up to 1151 crowns."

"Usually, the lord pays [-]% and the remaining [-]% is raised by the temple itself."

Rosen listened carefully. Although he didn't care much about the money now, there was no need to waste it.

After all, even if it takes [-]% of the burden, it will cost tens of thousands of crowns a year. If it is changed to Fanggu Town in Moro, it will be a huge expenditure.

The best way is to understand it carefully and follow the rules carefully, so that you will neither be deceived into being taken advantage of by others, nor be scolded for being harsh and stingy.

After listening, he said: "That's right. According to the rules, is it a monthly payment or a yearly payment?"

Plumpan said: "It's all possible. But considering that the mayor is currently building the town and the funds are tight, my suggestion is to pay once a month to reduce the financial pressure on the town."

Rosen nodded: "That's good. Then I will hand over this part of the expenditure to the deputy mayor Harrick later, and he will arrange for the financial officer to allocate it."

"Then trouble the mayor."

That's the end of business.

Rosen relaxed on the chair and said with a smile, "Priest Vena has helped me a lot. The talisman she gave me has saved my life many times."

"I have a great deal of gratitude for her, and now that she's here, I hope to visit."

That didn't surprise Plumpon.

In fact, the high priest of Fao specifically mentioned the subtle relationship between them, and emphasized that this is part of Rosen's divine grace.

Since it was a divine favor, he had nothing to say.

But the temple has its own rules of operation, and there is no one else here, so Prampan reminded him clearly.

"Mayor, no matter what, I hope that your personal relationship with Priest Wei Na will be kept as secret as possible. After all, although the lost lambs have no great skills, they are all too jealous."

Rosen nodded: "Officer, I will keep your words firmly in mind, and I will never let my personal friendship with Wei Na affect the normal work of the temple."

Priest Plumpan felt relieved, because from the things Rosen did in the past, he was very reliable. Since he was so assured, there would never be any troubles.

"We also just arrived yesterday. Priest Wei Na should be sorting out personal belongings in the single dormitory in the backyard. The dormitory room number is 6. You just go to her directly."

"Thank you, officiant."

The structure diagram of the temple was designed by Rosen himself, and Rosen naturally knew where the dormitory was.

In order not to cause bad influence, after he stood up, he applied a low-level invisibility technique to himself, and then walked towards the backyard all the way against the wall.

Seeing him leave quietly, Priest Pulanpan couldn't help but sighed softly.

Although this was God's favor, he still felt that this kind of favor was too partial.

Of course, since God made such a decision, he has nothing to say but acquiesces.
