Before ascending to God, be a good lord

In Yeqi City, Wu Fei led the knights through the streets and low walls. Until now, nearly 7% of the area in the city wall was closed, while the open area was divided into several urban areas. Galloping Horse Academy The students are constantly patrolling between urban areas to maintain law and order in the city.

"Everyone, let's patrol the commercial district before the day shift ends!" Ufei suggested loudly, then turned left and entered a 6-meter-high city gate.

"Okay, Captain." The knight students behind her all agreed and followed Uffi into the city gate.

Behind the city gate is the most prosperous area in Yeqi City, a commercial district surrounded by relatively low walls.

There are three main commercial streets and an independent square. In addition to hundreds of shops, pubs, and restaurants, it also has independent commercial temples and warehouses. Regardless of demons, demon-free people, residents, and foreign tourists, they can Spend gold coins directly in the commercial street without exchanging them for local work-point coupons.

Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Ufei felt that he must protect the order in the city and not let the evil practices of the priests tarnish the entire city.

"Lord Lant's order is correct. We can't allow these romantic places in the name of religion to be flaunted everywhere. In my opinion, they should be completely banned!" Ufei's understanding of the world is quite pure, and she doesn't look down on those messes at all. The so-called priests.

"The captain is right. These guys are using the gods as an excuse to use gold coins and debauchery to kill the atmosphere of Yeqi City!" Another student from the barbarian tribe said loudly. Almost all the barbarian and local human students in the team agreed with this. sentence.

Willis sat silently behind Uffie. A girl who grew up in the black market knows best that among the many tourists around, most of them are probably here for the black market and romantic places. The prosperity guarded by the knights is Built on the gray industry they despise.

"I'm afraid it can't be completely banned. Since ancient times, hallucinations and lewdness have been ways for priests to communicate with the gods. In the ancient empire, there was an oracle located near the volcano in the imperial capital. The sulfur gas spewing from inside could give priests They bring about hallucinations.”

A young man from the Crelan family in the imperial capital interrupted Ufei's words. Having come from the imperial capital, he not only understood the true source of the prosperity in front of him, but also understood that all this was the intention of the lord.

To be more precise, Rand created a unique red-light district by exempting some temples from the ridiculous behavior. The priests and nobles of the empire, who had been holding back for hundreds of years, spent a lot of money here to spend a lot of money on Rant.

At the same time, in order to prevent these tourists from affecting the territorial residents, Lant restricted the scope of the red light district through the city walls and constant patrolling knights, and even isolated the entire barbarian tribe to the north of the city. It can be said that he chose a balance between prosperity and stability. balance.

However, these skills that belong only to the great lords are definitely not something that a knight from the common people like Ufei can understand, so the young man can choose some concepts that Ufei understands to explain:

"The reason why the Temple Alliance banned these methods back then was because the Temple Alliance monopolized the methods of communicating with the gods within the empire. However, these methods were not suitable for the Benma Plain. Therefore, the Temple Alliance could only acquiesce in allowing various sects to mess around in Yeqi City. .”

"It's inconvenient for Mr. Lant, so why should the Temple Alliance just ignore it?" Willis turned to look at the young man and asked with some worry.

"You'd better not overestimate the moral standards of the priests in the Temple Alliance," the young man said with a smile, "Several of the people in the group just now were members of the demigod family, and they just came to Yeqi City to have fun. of!"

A bang-bang sound sounded behind the knights, and as night gradually fell, fireworks gradually lit up in the sky near the business district. Uffi and Willis were fascinated by the gorgeous light.

"What a waste of money!" the Creland boy sighed, "This kind of magic was at least released by a magician." "The city gate of the neighborhood is about to be closed, everyone should go back to the academy!" Ufei then remembered, Lead the knights to collect the team.

When night falls, the low wall gates near the teleportation hall, temple area and commercial district will be completely closed, turning this place into a real country within a country, and the nobles from the Imperial Capital and Dragon Tooth City will take over the security of the area. .

……

In the temple area, on the streets where the knights had left, more people put on thicker clothes due to the cold, stopped on the streets, and watched the fireworks.

Suddenly, a woman in scantily clad clothes ran out from a temple, her eyes were narrowed like a line, and she had two curved horns on her head. She ran to the place where Hughes and others had just been tossing with great anticipation. on the street.

Fireworks, crowds, and bustling streets, the scenes depicted by the Hughes priest while praying in the temple are somewhat similar, but fundamentally different.

"Huh? Didn't they say that today's big celebration is very special? I came here specially!" His Majesty Lucoa said with regret.

Not long after, another god also transformed into a demon holder, running over in scantily clad clothes, and soon asked the same question:
"Your Majesty Lucoa? Your tastes have changed? Have you given a new oracle to mortals?"

"How could it be? I'm dressed like this!" The God of Life looked depressed. "For today, I even gave Hughes a sum of gold coins and asked him to buy mushroom soup from Halkara!"

She quickly realized: "Is it possible that Hughes and the others were disturbed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wheel of time in Lucoa's left eye suddenly turned in the opposite direction, and just a few seconds later he got the answer:

"No, I want Tutapala to talk to Lant. Finally, there is a place where no one cares about it, so it doesn't become so boring again!"

"Your Majesty, this human nobleman disrespects tradition too much," the god next to him said regretfully, "Our rituals are tens of thousands of years old, but they were taught by the Temple Alliance in the past few hundred years. limited."

Lucoa also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also want the children from Red Dragon Rock to come and hang out. Maybe I can take this opportunity to let them put down their crystal balls and novels and get to know each other!"

"You don't mean to let them come on a blind date, right?" The companion understood the God of Life's thoughts and asked with some surprise, "Let the Dragon Clan come over? With mortals?"

"Of course it's with other dragons. You don't know that the new generation of dragons are very nerdy. Apart from novels and crystal balls, they have to pretend to be adults when they go out occasionally. These children hardly communicate with other dragons. None of them. The desire to conquer the sky made Heljalena very anxious the last time I saw her."
