Chapter 331 Kuru Snow City and Rose

After killing the near-god mammoths in Rune Calendar 121, the Republic finally stopped affecting the continent's climate for more than twenty years. The harsh environment in various regions also lost the support of the domain power behind it, so in

The curtain gradually came to an end with the devout prayers of the sects of gods.

Therefore, the gods issued a divine metaphor about virtue, saying that the "divine grace" would only be carried out to relieve the suffering in disaster years. At other times, believers need to strive for their own happiness through labor;

The angels under the throne of the gods provided simple and differentiated knowledge to various churches, allowing them to be popularized among believers, thus making "labor" once again become the main theme of the continent.

At the same time, under the watchful eye of the true God and the angels, the top leaders of each sect had to maintain their piety and integrity for a long time to avoid being punished by the supervisory angels of the divine realm.

Therefore, no matter whether this belief is illusory or not, no matter whether the gods and angels have selfish motives, but as far as the various races in the mainland are concerned, at least the believers at the bottom and middle level can no longer serve the powerful slave masters and the nobles of their own race.

Labor, from now on they only need to be responsible for their own lives.

Several years have passed since then, and the believers have ushered in real good weather and seen the dawn of a new life. They are grateful for the gift of God and live a life that is still a little hard but much happier and more stable than before.

.

At this point, the separation and ordering of the 130 True God churches has been completely stabilized in the north.

These sects have built their own communities based on faith. In addition to maintaining single-racial settlements in the countryside, there are scenes of multi-racial harmony and coexistence in various cities.

In the countryside, settlements in agricultural areas are naturally dominated by agricultural and animal husbandry production. Although most residents in the city are not engaged in field and pasture work, they are by no means completely idle like the powerful tribes such as the Rhineland in the past.

Production

Convenient rail transportation is both the foundation of one's existence and the foundation of development. Residents or travelers of all classes within it have turned inwards and outwards, forming a relatively stable supply and demand relationship, making each city no longer just one responsible for enclosing land.

Military camps and grain depots initially showed a life that was completely different from the past.

Generally speaking, the small citizens in the city will make a living by working in workshops in front of shops and back rooms. Especially after angels imparted various knowledge related to labor and production, many types of small workshops have sprung up in these years.

Emerging in endlessly;

Above the ordinary citizens, there are ordinary businessmen and ordinary merchants traveling to nearby cities. Together, they have weaved a business network that goes deep into every corner, and are necessary to maintain the vitality of the city;

Further up, there are municipal officials at all levels and their relatives, as well as medium and large-scale chambers of commerce that come and go from various sects. The former are responsible for managing the city and providing a stable environment, while the latter expand their own wealth while exchanging money with other parties.

its presence or absence;

Further up, there are priests at all levels who are extremely close to them, and divine warriors at all levels who are extremely close to them. Naturally, they are also the real holders of the right to speak in the city.

Northern Continent·Western Region·The above-ground kingdom of the God of Love and Beauty, 'Kurushe' is such a city located at the orbital hub. There are nearly 100,000 people from dozens to hundreds of different races living in it, and among them

90% are believers of the God of Love and Beauty at all levels.

With this city as the center, there are countless small and large settlements, and more people of various ethnic groups are scattered across the vast plains. With them as the center, farmland has been reclaimed and various buildings have been built.

Ranches and even a few mines are scattered here and there.

~~~~~~~~~~

In the early morning when the sun was about to rise, in a farming settlement outside Kuru Snow City, the antelope breeder Bati's family had a new day for them.

The beautiful Lady Antelope woke up leisurely from her sleep. She fanned her big, watery eyes with long eyelashes and stared blankly at the still dark roof of the masonry house. It wasn't until a moment later that her consciousness came out.

Wake up completely from the drowsiness

At this time, she rubbed her furry but somewhat harmonious cheeks, and gently stroked the dark and beautiful spiral horns on the top of her husband's head, and then carefully removed the hair that was pressed against her waist.

Hooves, and lightly turned out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.

Afterwards, Mrs. Antelope walked into the courtyard with her recurved legs, which were dark on the outside and light on the inside, and stepped on her small hooves. With some difficulty, she lifted two buckets of cold water from the well, and began to wash her body carefully.

, there are large and small water drops hanging between the hard and soft short hairs at this moment, showing some beautiful colorful colors under the reflection of the slightly lit morning glow.

After a while, she finished washing herself and was wiping her body gently with a short velvet cloth. She quickly shook it left and right a few times and smiled with satisfaction when she found that there were no more water droplets splashing out.

After that, Mrs. Antelope took out several different combs from the basket on the side of the well, and carefully combed the hard hair, soft hair, and fluff all over her body. After gradually making them straight and shiny,

Then he took out some neat clothes made of coarse cloth from the basket, put them on, and pulled out the conical tail that stood up and jumped up and down from the hole.

Immediately, she faced the morning sun that had risen halfway from the horizon, took a few deep breaths of the fresh morning air, then returned to the house, entered the prayer room, and knelt down respectfully in front of the shrine.

As the most devout believer in the family, Mrs. Antelope is truly grateful for the gift of God at this moment, thanking God for allowing her family to escape from the sufferings of the past and usher in the beautiful life that is beginning to show today.

"You are the embodiment of love and beauty. You are the light that shines during the day and the brilliance that lights up the night. All the gods in the sky fall under your skirt."

After praying, Mrs. Antelope, who was still kneeling, drew a simple divine emblem on her chest, then stood up, walked out of the prayer room and went outside the house, and began to take care of the bright red roses with thorns in the courtyard.

After watering and other processes were completed, she went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the family of five. At the same time, she also prepared a meal for her husband and eldest son to eat in the field at noon.

Turn on the fire and preheat the stove, and smoke rises from the roof of the small farmhouse.

Opening the double-row pocket on the front of her dress, she leaned over slightly and squeezed out a basin full of fresh milk. She kept most of it separately, and mixed the other half into the flour that had been ground yesterday, and mixed it with the flour that had been ground yesterday.

Two unfertilized eggs from the 'Jiyin Clan' were inserted into it.

After thinking about it, she reluctantly took out another one and punched it in. Then she kneaded the dough, seasoned it, and then carefully spread the batter on the preheated metal plate.

Almost ten more minutes passed during the busy period. When Mrs. Antelope's preparations were coming to an end, other noises began to be heard in the house outside the kitchen.

"Barty, little Stu, are you awake?"

"Ah~ I'm awake."

"Wake up, mom."

After these two vague responses, Mrs. Antelope took the pancakes that had been kept warm on the stove since they were made, a basket of fruits and vegetables, and some fresh milk in her hands, and then walked out of the kitchen Shiran.

, place them one by one on the dining table.

At this time, the other two upright antelopes, who were still somewhat sleepy-eyed, also entered the dining room, and sat down in a daze to prepare to eat.

This son looks very much like his father. If it weren't for the fact that the horns on his head are two-thirds shorter, the spiral pattern is lighter, and his height is much shorter, it would be impossible to tell the difference under the cover of his hair.

their differences from each other;

Of course, the antelope species itself does not have this recognition barrier, let alone the female antelope who is a lady and a mother.

Therefore, when she saw her eldest son stretching out his hand to grab food, she immediately slapped him on the hand.

"Stutta! You disobedient, dirty boy!"

"How many times have I said that the God of Beauty teaches us to be tidy and clean, why don't we wash our hands quickly!"

"Have you forgotten the morning prayer? Go quickly, otherwise there will be no food for you here."

Although she said this to Stutta, one of her beautiful eyes located on both sides of her cheeks was looking directly at her husband Bati.

"Go, go, wash your hands and pray, don't make your mother angry again!"

Smiling coquettishly at his wife, Big Barty pretended to scold his son and pulled him out of the dining room quickly.

"Huh, that's pretty much it~"

Mrs. Antelope rolled her eyes at the backs of the father and son, and then began to arrange the food on the table. She tried every means to arrange these foods, which were not considered rich in terms of category, into a more beautiful arrangement that would arouse appetite.

, he nodded his head until he was satisfied, and sat down while wagging his dexterous triangular short tail.

After that, another moment passed, and the father and son returned to the dining room after washing and praying.

~~~~~~~~~~

"I saved another large bottle. I have to sell it at the market today. It should be able to exchange for more God's Favor Coins than ordinary milk."

"Of course, after all, it tastes much better than the one produced by dairy animals. I actually don't want you to sell it~"

"Humph, what a fool! The next harvest is still many months away. If we don't sell it, what will we eat in the future?"

Although she said this, the swinging leaf-shaped pointed velvet ears and the constantly beating short tail seemed to indicate that Mrs. Antelope actually felt very benefited from her husband's praise, so she hummed again.

After two sounds, he continued to mutter,

"We are almost running out of eggs at home, so we have to buy some more. Since our eggs are a bit expensive, why don't we just buy ordinary poultry eggs this time?"

"Yeah, it's up to you to decide~ Praise the God of Beauty for giving me a good wife~"

"Also, we have to send those two little ones to a missionary school. We can't be like you two idiots who can't read either."

After saying this, she seemed to feel a little dissatisfied, and immediately emphasized angrily,

"You two are not studious. My sister's husband is running to apply for admission. What about you?"

"Stutta, did you hear that? Dad is old, you have to set an example for your younger brothers and sisters?"

"Ah?. Oh...Okay dad, I will learn, I will definitely learn."

After hearing this, Mrs. Antelope nodded slightly with satisfaction. In fact, while she was chattering, she never stopped moving her hands. She helped the father and son again and again to roll the washed vegetables into the pancakes and cut them into pieces.

good fruits, and then hand them over to these two strong laborers.

The father and son would occasionally respond with words of praise, but more often they would hum and eat without stopping. With their mouths that protrude more from the cheeks, they could basically eat a pancake roll in three bites, and then they would eagerly wait for Mrs. Antelope.

Hand out the next one, and send some free compliments in the meantime.

After finishing all the food on the table, the father and son finally felt full, so they picked up the wife's milk and drank it all in one gulp. They smacked their lips and said, "It tastes really good."

Only then did the female antelope stand up under the satisfied expression, and left the dining room with both recurved hooves.

By the time Mrs. Antelope simply cleared the table and carried the meal basket to the yard, father and son Batty and Stutta had already picked up the farm tools distributed by the church, and their son took the meal basket sent by his mother.

"It's hard for you to eat some cold food today." After carefully tucking the thick cloth that could have some insulation effect, Mrs. Antelope said with a little apology.

"It's okay, Mom, aren't you going to take your brothers and sisters into the city? Wouldn't it be nice for us to have cold food occasionally?"

"Haha, Stutta is right. In fact, it would be nice to have lunch. It's not like when I worked for the Rhine gentlemen in those years."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall some of his miserable life in the past, and Big Barty suddenly cursed viciously,

"These damn Rhinelanders, why won't the God of Beauty let them all go to ugly hell?"

"Okay, the mercy of the God of Beauty shines on all things. Let us forget those bad pasts and live a good life." Mrs. Antelope stepped forward, tidying up her husband's somewhat ruffled clothes and untying them softly.

"Okay, let's go then?"

"Goodbye mom~"

"Well, be careful on the road."

After sending away the father and son, Mrs. Antelope woke up the other two children who were still reluctant to wake up, helped them wash up hand by hand, prayed to the God of Beauty, and then looked at the children with a happy and warm smile.

Finished the meal bit by bit.

"Go and put on nice clothes, mom will take you to the city today~"

"Really!"

"Really!"

The speakers were two small antelopes, a male and a female, with young, light-colored down on their faces. One of them had no horns on its head, and the other only had two rows of three horns on its chest, which were very inconspicuous.

There are little bumps, and both of them still look like they haven't grown up yet.

"Of course, let's go~"

"Okay!"*2

Watching the twins jumping away with a smile, Mrs. Antelope returned to the kitchen again, opened the cold cellar buried in the ground, and with some difficulty took out a bottle that was about three meters deep and contained a milky white liquid.

, and carefully put it on the prepared cart aside.

As she pushed the car into the small courtyard, she whispered in the direction of the house,

"Mom is ready~ Where are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two little guys running out in clean and neat clothes. They cheered and came to their mother's side, ready to help her push the cart out of the courtyard.

After closing the door and locking it, looking at the courtyard which was not big but warm and beautiful enough, Mrs. Antelope felt a deep sense of satisfaction and gratitude in her heart. She was doing this out of habit and sincerely. At this moment

Praising in a low voice, 'Beautiful God is above';

Then, he took two happy little antelopes and rushed towards the market in the city that was open at any time.

~~~~~~~~

In the settlement where the Batty family was located, there were nearly fifty families living at this time, and most of them were blood compatriots from the same lowly servant clan. Later, they believed in the God of Beauty and vented their anger by killing the kneeling members of the clan.

After licking the 'noble ones' of the main clan, they had the life they have now.

At this time, all the male prime and sub-prime laborers had gone to the fields, so there were only some urchins and old men who were unable to work left in the settlement.

Among them, the former is running and playing happily. The clothes on his body are obviously freshly washed. They often become gray and dirty in a morning or even a shorter time. You can predict them at a glance.

How their mother, or eldest sister, would spank them in anger later in life.

The antelope species do not live long, and compared to those powerful tribes, their prime period is also very short in duration. After that, there is the old age when they are weaker than the powerful tribes, but they were almost invisible when life was hard in the past.

A few old men had now accumulated quite a lot of money in the settlement, and they were gathering together to bask in the sun and do their homework. When they saw Mrs. Antelope and her two children, they all laughed.

Hehehe said hello

"It's from Batty's house~ Good morning! Are you going to the market to sell milk?"

"Well, good morning, Uncle Tolan! Yes, I just filled up some."

"Hey! Litoto, Ferreira~ You two little guys are really strong."

"Haha, who made our big Barty and Stutta work hard?"

"Ashley wait a minute!"

Just as the female antelope was busy responding to these old uncles and aunties, a very familiar voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw her sister, who was a sibling of her own mother. She was holding a smaller bottle and looking towards her.

He jumped up and soon came to the front. He took his sister's hand and asked,

"Ashley, can this also help me get it to the market and sell it?"

"Then let's go together. Your baby has just been born, right? OK, I'll take it and sell it for you."

Mrs. Antelope first agreed with a smile, then took the bottle and put it into the stroller, and asked smoothly,

"Do I need to buy something for you, or do I just need divine grace coins?"

"If it's not troublesome, can you bring me some blue and black nuts?" My sister's expression was a little tired, and her speech was also a little weak. At this moment, she said with worry and gratitude, "Little Amir's

The body is a little weak, and the priest in the city diagnosed it as malnutrition. He asked me to add a little blue and black nut powder to the milk, saying that this would make the cub healthier."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If you bear with me for a long time, I believe everything will go smoothly after your eldest Amir passes the trainee priest examination. God bless you."

"Beautiful God. I think so too." The young mother responded with longing in her eyes as she imagined her husband wearing a priest's robe and how the family would become rich because of it.

~~~~~~

On both sides of the fairly flat paths in the countryside are patches of green farmland, with many farmers working hard in the midst of them;

Mrs. Antelope, who was carrying two children and pushing a cart, followed the group of travelers on the road, which were neither too many nor too few. After passing two small settlements where people of different races lived along the way, she looked at them from a distance.

We arrived at Kulu Snow City and the bright red dome of the central church protruding from the highest point of the city wall.

This city was actually only established a few years ago, but with the help of God's grace and the joint construction of extraordinary beings and people, it has become more beautiful and looks quite prosperous.

Kulu Snow City has built a roughly ring-shaped wall with the fortresses as its main axis. The church's emblem of thorns and roses is shining with sacred light between the walls. The large sea of ​​rose flowers planted outside the city looks dazzling and bright in the sunlight.

It is radiant and always exudes bursts of fragrance of suitable intensity.

The city has four main gates. Lady Antelope's settlement is located in the east of the city, so what she is facing at this time is naturally the east gate.

In the past, the city was a splendor that belonged entirely to the Rhine masters. Although the inferior species of slaves and servants built it at the cost of their own lives, they were actually not qualified to really take a look, let alone enter.

Did some small business

Therefore, Mrs. Antelope instinctively still had fear of the city. She hesitated at the door for a long time. It was not until she saw clearly that one of the soldiers on duty was from the Antelope species that she made mental preparations and walked towards

He walked towards the city gate and merged into the queue of travelers.

But her fear seemed unnecessary, because the guards at the door just looked at the various travelers coming and going, and then neither stopped them to ask questions, nor did they lift the doors to salute for inspection, so Mrs. Antelope

As always, it was easy to get into the city.

At this time, it was already morning, and there was a bit of noise in the city. Races of different heights and shapes were bustling in the streets, and shouts of hawking in the language of God's grace could not be heard without stopping.

However, the antelope species, who are naturally sensitive and timid, are not very adapted to this bustling life. In addition, she does not understand those divine words of grace, so the lady feels very nervous at this moment, and the two children

He was also grabbing the hem of her clothes and following closely behind her mother step by step;

"It's okay, don't be afraid. We are all believers in the God of Beauty. God of Beauty is above us, and God of Beauty bless us."

"Well, mom, we are not afraid, God bless you."

Comforting her child and herself, Mrs. Antelope lowered her head, held her heart in her hands, and walked quickly among the bustling walkers of different heights, to the beautiful houses on the roadside whose main color was bright red and pink.

The area where the market is located.

The two little antelopes have actually been here several times with their mother, but today they are still in the same curious and frightened mood. They half-closed their eyes and only dared to use their peripheral vision to watch the walkers on the road, and peeked at the people on both sides of the street.

Beautiful architecture

"Lito, can we move in here in the future?" the little male antelope asked in a voice that sounded like a mosquito's moan;

"I don't want me to stay in the settlement with mom and dad." After the little female antelope boldly responded, she asked in confusion, "Ferreira, do you want to live in the city?

?”

"I don't know. I kind of want to, but I'm also a little scared, but mom said we have to go to church and go to school. Doesn't that mean we have to go to the city?"

"Okay, then I will definitely accompany you."

"Well, have we agreed?"

"Well, we agreed that we will go to church and school together."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sister Alama, I've been talking about this for a long time, why haven't you shown up yet?"

Little Lena, who had been listening for a long time and failed to hear the 'mission' as expected, was pouting, shaking the arm of her new eldest sister, and asked reluctantly.

"Ah? Are Lady Antelope and Little Antelope boring?"

"Not really. They are quite interesting, but I want to hear you talk about missions, especially combat missions~" Alena on the other side emphasized, shaking her eldest sister's arm.

"It doesn't matter to me. The life of the antelope species is quite interesting." Facing Alama's questioning gaze, Shadi nodded and said, then shook her head and asked with a bit of confusion, "But what should I say?

, Sister, this story is as if you got into their home and saw and heard it with your own eyes?"

"Hey, don't worry about these details." Alama laughed and scratched her hair, and then responded to the little girls on both sides, "Right away, it's my turn to play, and I will look like a hero.

Oh~"
