Chapter 76 Colossus

   Holy City, Bethlehem.

  As the civilian believers recruited by the church gradually arrived in Bethlehem under the supervision of various nobles and private soldiers, the colossal construction plan that the Holy See had been brewing for a long time was finally officially launched.

   The colossus of the God of Light is located on the mountain range north of Lateran Palace. If you look at it from a distance, it is natural and magnificent, but the difficulty of construction has also increased a lot because of the geographical location.

   A civilian believer who was escorted was divided into several different groups and carried out different tasks under the supervision of the soldiers of the Crusades.

   And fifty civilians from Idar, headed by Mike, were incorporated into the team of quarrying stone outside of Bethlehem.

The holy city of Bethlehem has no difference in the four seasons. It is known as the place where the **** of light descends. Almost three hundred and sixty-five days of the year are sunny and sunny. Although it is still spring, the air But it's already a little bit more dry and hot.

   Under the scorching sun, hundreds of civilians shirtless, under the supervision of the Crusade Army, excavated the rocks on the mountain.

   The construction of the colossus requires a lot of stones, so the workload of these civilians is actually extremely large.

   Every morning at five or six o'clock in the morning, he was called by the soldiers of the Crusade Army, and every night, he had to wait until the sky was completely dark at seven or eight o'clock before he could rest and eat.

   However, despite the high-intensity work, the church's food for these rock-digging civilians is so limited that many people can't fill their stomachs and can only work hungry.

   This also resulted in a number of civilians who collapsed due to heavy labor and fainted while excavating rocks.

   In fact, this is no wonder, after all... the life of ordinary people in this era is too hard, and lack of food and malnutrition are the most common appearances.

  So that the intensity of labor is enough to make their weak bodies completely collapse.

   In today's Norman Empire, this has almost formed a universal vicious circle.

   The weaker the civilians are, the more limited the area of ​​land they can cultivate, and the less the amount of food they can harvest each year.

   And the less food the civilians will fill their stomachs, they don’t have enough energy to cultivate...

   Coupled with the taxes and labor arbitrarily apportioned by the lords, and the payment of tithes, this made the already difficult lives of many civilian families in the Norman Empire even worse.

   So, just a few days of work made some civilians tired and sick.

   "Pop!" A Crusader soldier dropped the whip in his hand on the back of a civilian.

"Look at the speed of others! Look at yours again! You are building a colossus for the God of Light. No one can be lazy. Otherwise, the God will punish!" the soldier cursed, and then used Pointing to another group of people not far away: "Look at those Idars! Don't you feel ashamed?"

   That's right!

   Fifty civilian believers from Idar, headed by Mike, did not seem to be very strenuous when doing this kind of work, because they had accumulated enough experience when they built the sky garden.

   knows how to mine stone with less effort, and knows how to get a short break and adjustment between work.

   And since the ore that every civilian needs to excavate every day is a fixed amount, these civilians from Idar are often the first to get off work, and even the Patriarchal soldier who supervises their work can return earlier.

   When Mike finally completed the quota for the day and planned to return to the camp with the others, he finally noticed the beating and scolding on the other side.

   He listened from a distance, then frowned, and walked over...

   "Your Excellency Soldier..."

   Just as the soldier was about to wave the whip in his hand again, Mike's voice drifted from the side into the soldier's ears.

   The soldier turned his head and saw only one member of the group of Idars, Mike, who was looking at him with a smile beside him, while his right hand was making a cross on his chest.

   "What's the matter with you?" the Crusaders' soldier asked angrily.

   "The God of Light teaches us to be kind to people, not evil..." So Mike started his performance.

   The soldier of the Holy Cadet Army was taken aback for a moment, blushed, and then said a little annoyedly: "After finishing the work, go back to the camp. Don't get in the way here!"

   Mike quickly drew a cross on his chest with his right hand, and then said in a very sincere voice: "I am willing to complete the task he has not completed for him!"

What?

   This time, not only the soldier, but even the civilian who was being whipped, was bewildered.

   "You mean... would you like to dig rock for this guy?" the soldier asked incredulously.

   "Yes! The God of Light teaches us..."

   "Okay, then you can use this guy's tools to mine quickly!" the soldier said impatiently.

   Seeing Mike volunteering to help other civilians, the Idars present were all shocked!

Yes!

  They remembered that their Count Master once said that labor can redeem sins, in this case...

  If I help others to dig rocks, not only do I have to work hard, but I can also reduce the burden of others, then...Isn't this double atonement! Double happiness!

   So, this group of excited Idar civilians began to volunteer, very actively looking for unfinished work!

   The priests of the Missionaries of the Supervisor looked at each other~www.NovelMTL.com~ This is the first time they have seen such a strange thing.

   These people... are they crazy...

   But if these Idars are crazy, they can't.

Because the Idar people open their mouths and shut their mouths as "the **** of light tells us." Although some of the people of Idar have said what the **** of light has said, they have not even heard of the Holy Clerics who have been on duty in the holy city for a long time, but But I also had to admire these Idar believers' madness for the God of Light...

   That's right! In the eyes of many soldiers of the Crusade Army, these Idars who came to work here can no longer be described as the **** of light. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as crazy...

  So, also from this day, on construction sites outside the holy city of Bethlehem, stories about the Idars began to circulate quietly...
