I have a shelter

Chapter 456 A change that has not happened in a thousand years!

Regarding what Wendell just said, Benjamin did not dare to say anything else. He didn't know what 'Wendell' was thinking, but every time he saw this gentle-faced great priest, he felt like he was seeing a demon.

A few days ago, this priest manipulated people in the entire territory to make Earl Benjamin's scalp explode. To this day, I am still frightened by the scenes of spontaneous behavior of the residents!

The residents of this city have never been so united. The prestige that my family had built up in this territory for centuries was gone in an instant!

The roaring sound of the crowd was like a landslide and tsunami, making Count Benjamin feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Sir 'Wendell', please rest assured that I will not cause you any trouble."

Earl Benjamin wiped away his tears and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he was still within the inspection period. I'm afraid I'm going to be a puppet for a while.

During this period, his seals were temporarily given to his son so that he could serve the priests in the territory. And he also wrote letters to Prince Alfonso while in prison. Now that they have come out and gained their freedom, these gentlemen are naturally worried that they will rebel against them in their territory. And until these gentlemen feel that they are completely obedient, the dozen or so knights in front of them may have to act as their own bodyguards.

However, before the priest declared himself 'not guilty', the names of the Blood Demon and the Mist Cultist were always hanging above his head. Without these guards following him, Count Benjamin would not have dared to take a step out of the castle.

Count Benjamin, who had been imprisoned for a week, walked out of the prison tower and stood on the inner wall. He looked up at the hazy sun in the sky and couldn't help but feel that he had escaped death.

In the town under the city wall, there are longing figures. The residents seem to be in the ice and snow, and it seems that they have been busy for a week. Benjamin looked down and couldn't help but feel that his territory seemed to have changed greatly during this period.

"Lord Earl Benjamin, your subjects are actually very diligent. They are not as lazy and ignorant as you said before." Priest Wendell rolled up his sleeves, looked at the earl with a half-smile and said: "Let's go, Sir, let's go down and take a look, there are some things that I need your help with."

After saying that, the priest walked down the bluestone steps leading down from the inner wall. Count Benjamin was slightly stunned and felt a little uneasy. Benjamin felt that there was no need for the priest to trick him out and burn him to death.

This priest doesn't need to lie at all.

Benjamin felt that before he was completely cleared of his charges, he might be the evil spirit who ate 'Count Benjamin' and acted as 'Count Benjamin' in the minds of these ignorant people. I am afraid that except for my die-hard followers who are still in prison, in the eyes of everyone, I am like that rat crossing the street.

Benjamin didn't want to go down at all, but seeing that the knights were already following the priest, he had to quickly lift up his hood and speed up to follow the priest.

At this moment, it was as if the priest was the local lord, and the earl in monk's uniform was like an old monk accompanying him.

Priest Wendell seems to be in a good mood today. After these busy days, the territory is on the right track. Now no one is afraid of the fog outside, and everyone is busy with this year's spring planting.

And the happiest thing is that the boss who arrived here last night gave him great recognition for his work.

This made Wendel feel that his busy work these days was not in vain.

On the way, Earl Benjamin saw that all the dung piles originally piled on the streets had been cleared away, and even the melting ice and snow in the town had disappeared.

The glacier hasn't completely melted yet, so I don't know where the garbage was thrown. But now the streets are clean and tidy, and the busy figures are full of life. Not as confused as before.

There are many people on the street, including private soldiers, knights, and citizens. But without exception, when these people saw Priest Wendell, they all greeted him warmly, as if they were seeing their reborn parents.

Indeed, when these people worked together, they suddenly discovered that the mountain pressing on their heads turned out to be just paper.

And the Wendell 'Consul' beside the Earl has become the person in everyone's hearts who leads them to hope for the future.

The warm eyes of the people and the vitality of the residents. Benjamin felt mixed emotions.

This territory has been completely subverted. Things have changed!

From now on - and even all the nobles, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to control these common people.

This is a change that has not happened in thousands of years!

Benjamin knew that during this transformation, the nobles had worked hard in the past thousand years, and the shackles on the common people had been completely liberated by these guys in front of them! No one can lock it again

Thinking of this, Benjamin looked at the back of the priest in front of him. Resentment flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by fear.

At this moment, Benjamin's mind suddenly flashed back to what Lord Dawn had said to him at the banquet - "I will send people to help you clear all the obstacles that hinder the development of the territory. Don't worry about the so-called of demons and blood troubles, because they hold artifacts.”

At first, he thought that this artifact was given to Wendel and others by the Lord of Dawn.

Later, when he found that there was nothing in the hands of the priest, he suddenly thought that the artifact referred to the knights led by the priest and the Holy See he represented.

But now he finally understood what this sentence really meant.

This artifact was given to them by the Knight of the Throne and the Holy See. This artifact is the faith and human heart!

But when people's hearts are gathered together, no evil demon or disaster can defeat them.

But Benjamin has never figured out why he became an obstacle blocking the progress of the people.

He couldn't figure it out and didn't want to find the answer.

At least at the moment when he is sure that he can survive, he will have the time and interest to think about this issue.

Therefore, the moment Wendell's gaze came over, Benjamin instantly concealed the confusion in his heart, leaving only submission and awe on his face.

In order to change the topic, Benjamin asked a question with a curious face: "Master Wendell, what are they busy with?"

"Spring planting." Wendell said slowly: "Your subjects do not have the habit of retting manure. It is not only a pity to throw these fine fertilizers into the river, but it is also easy to breed bacteria and pollute the water source. Although there is not enough time. But after the manure is sorted, mixed, and soaked, it can still catch up with the second batch of fertilization. "

Having said this, Wendell turned around and looked at the Earl with a half-smile: "Your land is very vast. Many of the wastelands were only used for grazing before. This year, there are many more refugees and a lot more labor here. . So we plan to open up wasteland for farming - just using these fertilizers is not enough, so I have left Lord 'York' and led the soldiers to the ice wall in the past few days, where there is a lot of good fertilizer. Come here."

Benjamin pursed his lips, knowing the actual meaning of what the priest told him - not only your vassals and retainers, but also your army are no longer in your hands.

The other side of the ice wall is a terrifying forbidden land, and no one is willing to carry things like corpses. But those guys can go here to work and carry corpses so happily. Obviously, the great priest's words now are much more powerful than what he used to say.

However, Benjamin had to admire that this priest's ability in managing the territory was indeed far beyond his own.

In other words, he doesn’t have any governance ability, he just stands with these people.

The territory is now in good order, and many leaders have spontaneously formed patrol teams to check whether the residents abide by the rules and dump feces and garbage on the ground on time.

And those private soldiers who were not supposed to mix with the civilians still worked with these civilians, and even rolled out carts of food from the castle and distributed it to the refugees who were queuing up to receive food.

Earl Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. He knew that the food accumulated in his barn would probably be distributed.

This is all your own property

Not only that, he also discovered that many people were actually wearing the clothes of the castle servants, or even their own old clothes. These people seemed to be not the local residents, but the refugees from the basin who had fled, and they were also wearing clothes from the castle. I got new clothes, no longer the shabby look I had before.

The number of these refugees is more than 20,000, so the residents may have donated a lot more than just the clothes in the castle.

Earl Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little strange. Previously, the entire territory was extremely repulsive to these refugees crowded into shacks, thinking that they would bring plague. Moreover, these citizens would not work at all if they did not crack whips. But I don’t know how this priest arranged and taught (hu) (you). Now these people’s faces are not only full of smiles, but they seem to regard labor as the most glorious mission. He also seemed to get along very well with the refugees.

He noticed that some refugees came out of residents' homes, as if they were already living together!
