I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 260 Bolton

Jiujiu, that is, His Royal Highness Ann Cayman looked at the back of his teacher leaving, and bowed again.Although he knew that the teacher could not see his etiquette, it was his heartfelt respect for a scholar who had the courage to pursue the truth.Although this scholar was expelled from the city by the church in name because of his newly published academic theories, and he was no longer allowed to publish his theories to the public; but the world knows that the so-called expulsion from the city actually means that he will face the knights of the church. The regiment's crusade against heresy.And in the history of the Insector Empire, there has never been a heretic who can escape from the knights who have mastered the artifact. The fate of this scholar is doomed. Even with the protection of the most powerful nobles in the empire like the Cayman family, After all, in this matter, the teaching power still won the nobles represented by the royal power.

The city of Bourton has been governed by the Cayman family for hundreds of years.Houses, mud walls, and domed public buildings are separated by roads extending in all directions and scattered on the floodplains of rivers near the largest waterway in the empire.Most of the houses in the city have yards in which fungi or ferns grow luxuriantly, trimmed neatly and delicately by the owners of the yards.Residents in the city mostly like to stay in their yards and watch pets and children jumping and playing in their yards when they are not working. This is the daily leisure life of wealthy families in Bourton.

The north of Burton is sheltered by high mountains, and the [-]-meter-high mountain blocks the cold air from the north. Therefore, under the influence of the humid and hot atmospheric circulation in the south, even in the cold winter in other parts of the empire, the climate of Burton is comfortable and pleasant.It is one of the few commercial cities in the empire that is bustling all year round. Here you can always see desert traders rushing with swarms of insects, ocean brokers who arrived at the pier by boat with excited or unlucky faces, and Itinerant vendors hawking all the way along the streets and alleys, and most hotels or hotels invite singers to recite poems and songs of various styles from south to north.

This is a city with highly developed commerce. As one of the few megacities in the Insector Empire comparable to the capital of the king, and as the capital of the Cayman Family Dominion, it is undoubtedly the same as its owner—— Like the Mann family, it is an open, inclusive and confident city.

On the avenue out of the city, a group of frisky shipworms were hurriedly driven to the side of the road by the owner, but it was still inevitable that a few less obedient insects rushed into the oncoming solemn and luxurious team.Immediately, three knights riding Scream Worms rushed out from the team, and the metal spears in their hands slammed out, stringing these unlucky Shipp Worms on the tip of the spears and raised them high. Among them, the leading knight rode a Scream Worm The worm walked towards the frightened Shippworm owner who shrank back to the side of the road.

"Kou Jin, wait a minute." Just as the owner of Shipworm watched the tall knight walking towards him with anxiety, a voice came from the team.

Hearing this, the tall knight immediately straightened the reins, stopped his roaring insect and stopped.In the team, an aristocratic son in gorgeous metal armor came forward on a roaring bug surrounded by several other knights, only to hear him first say to the knight named Kou Jin: "Bulton is a An open city, this should be just an accident, so let’s forget about it. It can be seen that these shipworms are very active, and you have raised them well. Someone will pay you enough to send them home, Bulton Foreign traders like you are always welcome." The second half of the sentence he said was aimed at the shipworm owner.

After all, several knights returned to the team under his leadership, and the noble cavalry team resumed their original order and headed out of the city.The shipworm master still sat on the ground as if he hadn't recovered.The passer-by next to him laughed and said, "This is your first time visiting Bourton, isn't it?"

The owner of the Shipworm stood up with the support of others and nodded upon hearing the words, and replied: "Yes, I heard that the price of the Shipworm here is higher than that of other places, so I would rather travel a little longer to touch it. Try your luck instead of staying in the village and being exploited by those traders."

"Then you are lucky. Hurry up and drive the worms to the City Lord's Mansion. You must know that it was His Highness Ann Cayman who was talking to you just now." A passer-by smiled and reminded him kindly.

"It turned out to be that Highness?!" Master Shipwreck couldn't help but looked at the departing team again, not knowing whether he was lamenting his good luck, or surprised by the good temper of this great nobleman.

"Hurry up, this is Boulton, a city where everything is possible." A passer-by patted Shipworm's master on the shoulder, reminded him again, and then laughed and left with his friends.

Seeing that there was no more excitement, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only some young girls who were still staring at the distant cavaliers chatting excitedly, arguing about what kind of opposite sex this handsome Highness likes.The streets that had been congested due to this incident became unimpeded again, and here is Burton, a city full of opportunities and vitality.

In the Insector Empire, as long as there is a religious order, everyone knows that it is the Holy Sleeping Church, because this is the only religion that exists in the empire from beginning to end.They believe that because of the laziness and greed of the Insects, the true god who created life was so disappointed in people that he fell into a deep sleep and no longer cared for them.In order not to be abandoned by the true God, people must prove themselves with diligence, kindness and bravery, so as to wake up the dormant true God and gain the favor of the god again.

A large piece of land near the river in the southeast of Bulton City is St. Bolton Cathedral, the local seat of the Holy Sleep Church.St. Bolton's Cathedral is the tallest building in Bourton except the city lord's mansion. It is different from the mud-walled dome courtyard of ordinary folk buildings, and also different from the masonry dome castle style of noble mansions. All the churches in the Sekt Empire have a unified system of huge halls supported by tall stone pillars and brick walls and flat roofs.All the churches are exactly the same in appearance and layout of the rooms, the only difference is the size difference caused by the financial differences of the territorial churches.

Lianna's parents both passed away in an accident when she was very young. As an orphan, she was adopted by the orphanage of the Holy Sleep Church.The religious order has set up orphanages and nursing homes in large cities around the country, which are specially responsible for looking after the elderly and children who have no one to take care of them.

And Lianna, who grew up in the religious order since she was a child, has become the priestess of the religious order as soon as she has just grown up.Step Goddesses are members of the grassroots organization of the church, mainly composed of young women, and are directly under the management of bishops in various places.They usually go back and forth between the central cathedral and the surrounding villages and towns without churches. They specialize in helping civilians who cannot afford medical expenses to treat diseases, or handling matters related to the marriage and funeral of believers. The main force for spreading and maintaining the faith of believers.
