It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 849 Want to make ham?Get on your knees and beg the priest of nature!

"What is the Sacrament of Atonement like?"

Gretel finally heard something that made him a little curious.He barely shook off a little drowsiness, opened his eyes, lowered his voice, and asked the host of the mage tower sitting beside him in a low voice.

He really hasn't seen it!Whether it was the Temple of the God of War or the Temple of the Goddess of Spring, he had never seen it!

As for the Church of the God of Nature, in Gretel's impression, they were all nice people.Of course, good people get angry sometimes, and it's even more terrifying when good people get angry, but, the Sacrament of Atonement, what is that like?
In Gretel's past life and present life, adding up all his experiences, he has heard of the Sacrament of Atonement only once:
It is as if some emperor, after being deposed by the Pope, wore the simple clothes of an ascetic in the middle of winter, and walked barefoot to the top of the mountain.Standing outside the church door, or kneeling, for three days and three nights, only relying on a felt blanket to keep warm?
But that's not the style of natural priests...what's their sacrament like?What would they ask the redeemer to do?
The eighth-level mage turned to look at him and sighed helplessly.Master Nordmark, it seems that you are also the priest of the God of Nature!It was you who first made things big and asked the teacher for the crime!
The rules of the God of Nature Church, why do you ask me...

Fortunately, his voice was very low, and all the priests present tacitly pretended not to hear it.Elder Aitfu quoted the scriptures and quarreled for a long time with the Archbishop of the God of War and the Priest of the Goddess of Spring:

"Those who blaspheme the God of War, didn't you ask him to dig out a piece of rock of equal height with his own hands, and make a statue of the God of War, then wear sackcloth, carry the statue on foot, and come to the temple to offer it in person?"

"That's an act of blasphemy against the highest level... Besides, you don't seem to have idols..."

"The duke who killed the priestess last time was dressed in sackcloth, walked into the main hall barefoot from the entrance of the temple square, and performed a sacramental confession in front of the goddess?"

"That's true, but you don't seem to have a temple? Do you want Earl Rothcomb to go into the wild? Or climb the mountain barefoot? That mountain is completely covered with thorns!"

It is also a barefoot walk, walking on the stone floor of the temple square, and walking on the thorn bushes in the wild are completely two concepts, right?

Fight and fight.After a long time, everyone barely reached an agreement—of course, Earl Rothcomb, who rushed back from the capital, had to personally confirm.And the severity of the sacrament of atonement is generally closely related to the compensation of the blasphemer——

"Compensation for ham profits is absolutely not enough!" Elder Aitfu severely condemned on behalf of the surrounding God of Nature Church, especially the members of the Church who had selected a team and were about to return to Rothcomb County:
"Why, I have raised pigs on your ancestral grave for decades, and I will tell you later that I will pay you the money for selling these pigs? If there is such a good thing, we will also occupy the castle of the Earl's family in the future. Pigs have been raised in the castle for decades!"

"But we really can't do anything else..." the earl's second son was tearful.People in their teens are usually pampered, but at this time, they really feel ashamed and cry.Not only crying, but also kneeling and begging, only to roll on the spot:
"Everyone knows how thin the profit of farming is! Our family only relies on raising pigs and making ham all year round. We can barely earn some money, and more than half of it will be sent to the capital! The money is all in the hands of the Earl. There is only so much you can use! If it’s not enough—”

With a wave of his hand, he drew a huge circle:

"There are still three batches of ham in the cellar, all from last year, the year before, and the year before the year before, waiting to be matured and sold! You can drag them away! There is nothing else!"

Seeing that the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes.Gretel couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, and joined the topic:

"The Church of the God of Nature...was there any property in Rosecomb County?"

As far as he knows there should be.Near the city of Hartland, the religious group has two small villages, and there are still a few dilapidated houses in the city.The religious order in Nevis is quite wide, and there are two entire hills, all of which belong to them.

What about Rothconshire?After all, it is also a county!The property of the church will not be less!

After the sect was withdrawn, the land, houses, and villagers living on this land belonged to them...

Who does it all belong to?

Who has been divided up?

There was a moment of silence in the living room.Behind Elder Aitfu, a middle-aged man came out with a face full of indignation:

"Yes! There are all! —— Around the land of inheritance, two hills, a small river, and villages by the river all belong to the religious order! There are also a few other pieces of land..."

He raised his hand slightly, and a map of Rothcomb County appeared in the air, and the former property of the church was outlined.Gretel stared at it and quickly calculated that these industries together accounted for about 1/20 of the area of ​​Rothcomb County.

Although most of them are not very good land, the combined area is not small.More importantly, the industry of the God of Nature Church has always been the last local pressure relief valve:

The lord was so exploited that he was so hungry that he had nothing to eat.The fields owned by the religious group can be rented and planted secretly; the forests owned by the religious group can be picked up wild fruits casually without fear of being hung up and beaten...

"This land belongs to our family!" Behind the second son of the earl, a nobleman whom Gretel didn't know suddenly jumped up:

"It was bought by our family! It was bought with real money! There are transaction documents and the registration of the county and city hall!"

"Our family bought this piece too!" Another nobleman also chimed in.Gretel slowly scanned the living room. There were still several nobles who dared not speak, but gloomy or worried expressions appeared on their faces.

Looking at Mr. Master and the two temple leaders again, no need to ask, it is estimated that every family has a share in the division of the religious order's property, and everyone is not free.

Want to take back the property from everyone?

Want to offend all the nobles and powerful people in this county just after the return of the God of Nature?
Forget it, this villain, let me do it!

"The pigs in Rothcon County, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat acorns in the future." Gretel lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said softly:
"The so-called acorn-fed pigs are made into acorn-flavored ham. This characteristic industry is probably going to disappear."

"what?"

"What did you say?"

Except for a few clergymen who were still calm, everyone present asked questions almost at the same time.Can't make ham?The industry is gone?
This is the largest and almost the only pillar industry that can make a lot of profits in the entire Ruthcon County!This cannot be done, and the income of the entire county will drop by more than [-]% in an instant!
Gretel's face was serious and his voice was cold.He said slowly:
"When I was praying in the place of inheritance yesterday, I told those oak trees not to bear too many acorns in the future. I also asked them to tell other oak trees not to bear too much fruit. These days are the seasons for oak trees to bloom and pollinate—"

He raised his head, glanced around the surroundings emotionlessly, and looked at every pair of anxious eyes:

"Based on the speed at which the pollen spreads, it is estimated that at this time, all the oak trees have already heard the news. Of course, they may not listen to me?"

With a bang, Elder Aitfu stood up, turned around, rushed to the window, and jumped out.He didn't even have time to go down the stairs, but opened his arms, like a big bird, and flew directly out of the mage tower.Falling to the edge of the clearing, onto the trunk of an oak tree...

Second oak, third oak.After a while, the elder returned to the living room with a solemn face, and nodded to everyone present:

"They know. I asked about a dozen or so oak trees around. They will only bear a few acorns this year and in the future."

Dropped to the ground, trampled in the mud by wild animals, pecked off by birds, picked up by squirrels.Then, take root, sprout, grow elsewhere...

Enough to grow new oaks, but in any case impossible to feed the wild boars that roam the woods.

As for, how to restore the oak tree to normal and strong?
Elder Aitfu raised his chin high, and looked around the living room firmly, all the nobles who were anxious or pretending not to be anxious.

Then, come and ask the nature priest, and talk to every oak tree!
