Don't call me evil god

Chapter 429: Shaken Position
As soon as these words came out.

Johnson frowned and confirmed suspiciously:

"The estimated scale is several hundred thousand people?"

"Are you serious?"

Outsiders don’t understand what a population of hundreds of thousands means.

These professional architects understand it.

In the entire Reyak Kingdom, only the capital city of Starosh has a population of millions.

The population of several other large cities in the coastal plains in the western part of the kingdom is close to one million, and it is difficult to break through the one million mark.

Because this thing is not just about enclosing a piece of land and stuffing people into it to make it a big city.

Don't mention anything else.

Light is the most basic thing.

How to ensure adequate water and food supply?

The former is easy to say, as large cities are basically built along rivers or across rivers, using rivers to ensure water supply.

Food is different!

Although divine arts and magic are involved in planting, transportation, storage, etc., each step means increased costs.

If the price of food were so high that no one could afford it, the city would quickly decline.

Not to mention the series of economic, social and security problems that come with the development of the city.

Most of the ordinary citizens living in the city are businessmen and craftsmen. How do they make money to ensure their own source of income?
Security issues are even more troubling.

The larger the city, the more difficult it is to manage.

If there is no stable order, the environment where good and bad people mix together will be the favorite of those crazy cultists.

They will often organize some underground blood sacrifice for you, or spread some doomsday doctrine in secret.

There is only one big city in Ceylon, Ceylon City, which is surrounded by small towns and villages. In a sense, this is also the result of "natural evolution".

In the past, the conditions in this area could only support the existence of a city.

There are no extra conditions to build a new city.

usually.

The establishment of a new city was accompanied by the enthronement of a king.

Only in the earldom or even more noble noble fiefdom, there is a chance for a new city to be born.

The feudal nobles were responsible for "pioneering" the land.

If you want a piece of land with governance power to truly prosper, it depends on the efforts of the nobles themselves.

To put it bluntly.

It was equivalent to the nobles who accepted the title making a fair deal with the king.

The nobles worked wholeheartedly for the king, and their reward was the power to govern the territory.

……

That's why Johnson doubted Lena's statement.

He had not received any news about any new noble being enfeoffed near Ceylon.

Reina smiled.

"Of course we are serious."

"You may not know what is happening in Ceylon."

“We represent the Church of Seeking Knowledge.”

Hearing this identity, Johnson took a breath.

Heretic.

As if to dispel Johnson's concerns, Reina continued:

"We are solving the Eternal Night Disaster that the Glorious God Cult has not solved."

"What the Glorious God Cult cannot do, we can do."

"The Eternal Night Disaster will soon be over!"

"We have already made plans to rebuild our homes after this disaster."

"Build a new city based on Chim Town."

"We have enough resources and manpower. In fact, tens of thousands of people have gathered in Chim Town and are waiting in a safe place for us to resolve the Eternal Night Disaster." "We have even prepared the deposit."

As she spoke, Reina took out two gold coins and two pieces of paper from her bag.

Johnson took the paper and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

The piece of paper was outlined with delicate patterns, and in the upper middle was the word "100".

Reina explained: "Destiny points."

"This is the currency that can be circulated in the Church of Knowledge and the future new city of Chim. Currently, 100 Life Points can be exchanged for approximately 1 gold coin."

Seeing the real gold coins, Johnson's suspicion and nervousness faded a lot.

If the value of the Destiny Points is true, then the other party is equivalent to paying out 4 gold coins as a deposit at one time!
This is a huge commission for him!
The deposit alone will ensure that the whole family will have no worries about food and drink for more than a year to come.

"What are you going to ask me to do?"

If I can get the final payment, it would not be too much to open this shop and live off it for three years!

Reina smiled and said, "Design the building according to the requirements and go to the site to use divine magic to help with the construction."

"According to our rules, Mr. Wayne will be responsible for reviewing the orders applied for by architects."

"The corresponding order you applied for has been issued, which is considered as acceptance of the commission, and you can collect the corresponding deposit immediately."

"After the construction task is completed, the balance will be paid immediately."

"By the way, we have prepared 500 gold coins as a deposit in advance, as well as the corresponding destiny points."

“As long as the architect is competent enough, it’s up to him to make as much as he can.”

After listening to Lena's description, Johnson started to think secretly in his mind.

The gold coins paid to the architects will not be fake!
He was not a heretic, he just accepted the other party's commission.

Legally speaking, there will be absolutely no problem with this.

The risks he has to take are those beyond the legal scope, those invisible issues.

For example, in terms of stance.

Johnson had to admit that his position was wavering.

Because the construction market in Ceylon City has been quite bad in recent years.

As the number of commissions decreased and the market was sluggish, his income also dropped significantly. When luck was bad, he even had to borrow money to maintain his family's expenses, and his life was very tight.

Right now there is an opportunity for him to make a lot of money.

He was indeed a little hard to refuse.

Moreover - if the other party is really as they described, they can also solve the disaster that even the Glorious God Church cannot solve.

By that time, the Glowing God Cult would probably not be able to go against the will of the people and drive away the heroes who solved the disaster.

……

As if to confirm what Reina said.

Johnson is still struggling.

The sky outside is getting bright!
The same point in time.

On the other side of Ceylon City, the main force of believers led by Pete got the "Illusion Core" gem, and the eternal night came to an end.

This scene stunned Johnson who rushed to the window to check the situation!

"You did it?!"

"The eternal night is over?!"

What the other party said is true.

This so-called heretical church is not bragging at all!

After saying "The Eternal Night Disaster will soon be over."

How many minutes has it been?
The sky really brightened up again!
The previous feeling of depression and heaviness also disappeared!
Reina smiled happily.

By coincidence, Pete accidentally cooperated beautifully with her.

At the stage where persuasiveness was most needed, there just happened to be a very convincing "evidence".

Johnson's position was changed.

"I've accepted your commission!"
