"Mr. Mullen, the god building in the city is almost completed. Lord Li Ran wants you to go and have a look at the site!"
Maren wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the wheat ears in his hand into the rattan basket aside, and raised his head from the golden wheat field.
Hey, it's that boy from Pine.
A quarter of an hour later, Mullen walked onto Central Avenue, with Trainee Administrative Officer Payne following behind him.
The freckles on Pine's face and short, rough hair make him still look like a half-grown child, but he has matured a lot since he has been studying next to Mullen.
After a while, the two arrived at the garrison.
Mullen took the budget report from Pine and looked at the building in front of him.
The Imperial Crossbow Training Tower consists of a guard tower and a wide shooting range, and the main building has been completed.
The Crusader Fortress next to it is also nearing completion.
After the construction is completed and the promotion ceremony is held, Starwind City will be able to recruit new divinely chosen warriors.

The logs from Huangmu Town are piled into hills here, and the iron ore mined from the mines is smelted into metal castings and piled in the material area waiting for use.
Dozens of human and dark elf craftsmen were busy on the huge stone Crusader fortress. They used simple devices made of logs and ropes to transport building materials up to the towering towers.
"Lord Li Ran! You are here!" Paine waved his arms.
Li Ran appeared from the street corner and walked towards them.
Mullen and Pine bowed at the same time.
Li Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mullen, and Consul Pine." He nodded to the two of them, "The construction period was extended by half a month than expected."
Malen said: "This is our mission. The dark elves have helped a lot. Now, the building is about to be completed. Please take the final step, Lord."
The last step is to upgrade the built ordinary buildings into divine buildings through the heart of the castle.
Li Ran nodded.
The craftsmen have completed the construction and have withdrawn from the building.
They walked cautiously past the lord and gathered spontaneously behind Maren.
Li Ran walked to the shooting range in front of the crossbow tower and stood there.
The human and elven craftsmen looked left and right with indifferent expressions, or looked at the lord who was about to speak in silence, as if these huge buildings built with painstaking efforts had nothing to do with them.
According to the established procedure, Li Ran gave a speech before completing the promotion ceremony.
He looked around at everyone and said loudly:
"Today, we have jointly built two huge military training facilities. They can not only serve our people and allow them to undergo military training, but also connect to the will of Elrath to allow the God of Light's chosen warriors to come to the world.
.”
"The person who created this building is not me alone, but every craftsman, logistics service staff, project manager, and God's chosen warrior who knows no blood or tears."
"Facing a powerful enemy, we will protect every life in Xingfeng Territory and every city and village here. To achieve this goal, we need to unite tightly like straw in a hemp rope!"
"As the lord, please allow me to express my gratitude and respect for your hard work."
Mullen straightened his body and stood at the front of the crowd with Pine.
He heard the craftsmen talking behind him:
"He said he thanked us?"
"Why should a lord thank his subjects? Isn't it an obligation to build a castle for the lord?"
"Although I don't know why, it sounds very comfortable, and I feel that all the hard work these days has been worth it."
Malen looked at Pine and found that the young man who had just been transferred from a bad hunter to a trainee consul was proudly standing up his chest and looking at the lord like a soldier receiving commendation.
After Li Ran finished speaking what he wanted to say, he connected to the heart of the castle in his consciousness.
Heart of the Castle: "My lord, the [Imperial Crossbow Training Tower] and [Crusader Fortress] are ready. Do you want to perform the upgrade ceremony?"
yes!
Heart of the Castle: "Please recite the following prayer and raise your right arm high to complete the ascension ceremony."
"O bright Elrath, your chosen ones summon your existence, please fix your eyes here, please pour your power into this, please send your warriors here."
"I, Starwind City Lord Li Ran, will lead the people of Asha to open up a path to light in the dark future."
"?"
"Did you write this?" Li Ran asked confused. He always thought that the heart of the castle was just a mechanical system, but now he had some doubts.
Heart of the Castle: "This is a common sacred word used by the priest of Elrath. You must recite a prayer and raise your right arm to complete the ascension ceremony."
In the eyes of others, the lord suddenly froze on the spot, his expression somewhat confused and anxious.
The scene froze for a while.
Pine asked Mullen:
"What's wrong, Lord? Could it be that we can't build it?"
Maren didn't understand either, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I don't know. If the building quality is not up to standard, we can renovate it."
Li Ran didn't know about people's weird speculations and slander. He was in the final negotiations with Castle Heart.
"I mean, is it possible that I only need to click a confirmation button to activate the god's building and complete the ascension ceremony?"
The heart of the castle's cold mechanical prompt sounded: "Absolutely impossible."
"Then, you and I each give in. I raise my right arm, but I don't say a prayer? Please help me and Miss Elrath to be accommodating."
The tone of the heart of the castle rose slightly: "Please remember that Elrath is the great goddess of light...Prayers are a necessary part of the ritual, please give up useless efforts."
After a long time, Li Ran sighed heavily.
There was silence in the square.
Li Ran has no way out.
Malen felt that a damp and cold air was gathering under the gloomy sky.
The moist monsoon wind from the north swept through the Dragon Calling Fjord, passed through the skeleton regiments marching silently in the wilderness, brushed against the neck of Eureka who was patrolling the defense, and made a circle on the spire of the tallest cathedral in Starwind City.
Finally, the wind gently lifted the corners of Li Ran's robe with the gryphon emblem on the outside of his armor.
He was once just a frustrated and unemployed ordinary person. At first, he only saw the Broken Star as a gold mining opportunity.
Later, I chose Elrath to fulfill a promise.
Later, it was the fear of destruction that drove him forward.
At this moment, all the past converge.
Li Ran opened his eyes and softly recited a prayer.
"O bright Elrath, your chosen ones summon your existence! Please fix your eyes here, please pour your power into this, please send your warriors here!"
His voice became louder and louder as the connection between the gods deepened, until it finally rumbled and resounded throughout the city!
"I, Starwind City Lord Li Ran, will lead the people of Asha to open up a path to light in the dark future!"
boom!
The vortex formed by the thick clouds surged suddenly, and beneath the vortex, a breath of high and majestic energy penetrating the sky and earth poured down, shaking the earth.
Li Ran is the center of the energy column. Elrath's divine power is poured into the city's veins through Li Ran, and is enriched in the Crusader Fortress and the Imperial Crossbow Training Tower, completing the transformation of the god's building.
On this day, residents inside and outside Starwind City witnessed the transformation ceremony of the gods' buildings, and heard the prayers of the lords to connect with the gods.
