Chapter 415 Preparations before the Celebration
The Church of Knowledge has the confidence to provide free food and drinks to almost all the people in Ceylon.
They alone cannot provide such a large supply in just half a month.
The starting time is too short.
There is not enough time to accumulate wealth.
But the overall wealth of Ceylon is strong enough.
The amount of food needed to treat all the people in Ceylon to a big meal is nothing. As long as you want to buy it, you can definitely buy it.
The one who got this done was the Countess of Ceylon.
She acted as a matchmaker and contacted local merchants.
The Church of Knowledge used not traditional metal currency for payment, but destiny points!
The merchants responded very enthusiastically.
It was not resistance or disgust, but a warm welcome!
The kind of enthusiasm that almost couldn't wait!
When they heard that they could use destiny points to settle, they were overjoyed and agreed to it in a hurry. They were even willing to give a certain discount based on the market price in exchange for more shares.
If the Countess had not put pressure on them and allocated corresponding quotas to each merchant according to the scale of their industry, malicious competition would have broken out.
The reason why destiny points are so popular among merchants is simple.
Although this new currency is invisible and intangible, it does not have a universally recognized value like gold.
But it has unique value.
You can use destiny points to "indirectly" release divine arts!
This is something that gold coins may not be able to buy in the past.
Sometimes, there are only a few people in Ceylon who master a certain divine art, and the number of times it can be cast is limited. Once it is used up, it is used up.
Now, with destiny points as a reward, you can ask the knowledge-seeking believers who master the corresponding divine art to cast the art.
And the main feature is a large amount of fullness.
As long as you have a need, you can basically find a suitable candidate.
There is also something that even Nowen sighed about.
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
Originally, he did not intend to announce the matter of the [Resurrection] divine art, and of course, he did not intend to hide it.
However, as the news spread, the [Resurrection] divine art has become the anchor point of the value of destiny points in a sense.
"Become a believer of Norwen, and you can use magic with his blessing."
"Excluding the characteristic information record, the consumption of the magic of [Resurrection] is fixed, 100 life points per time."
Combined these two.
For people, life points equal life, more points equal more life!
The contribution ranking mechanism means that they will be blessed sooner or later.
Although I can't use magic now, I will be blessed like those knowledge-seeking believers in the future!
In this way, no one will complain about having too many life points.
Moreover - as the number of believers increases, the efficiency of [Perfect Permit] that Norwen can obtain is also gradually increasing.
In the dark cave, there are many areas in the shallow surface alone. Now the [Perfect Permit] that can be obtained every week is far more than 50 people, which is not enough to fill the gap.
After the incident of the Eternal Night Disaster, Norwen also understood.
Miracles are the best way to preach.
A miracle that attracts everyone's attention and makes people yearn for it has a huge effect.
If there was no upper limit on the number of believers, Norman could directly convert most of the ordinary people in Ceylon Territory into his believers.
Norman is currently maintaining the number of 50 people per week, mainly because he plans to wait for the right time to do a big one.
Increase believers, and further strengthen people's desire to join the church!
This celebration is a good opportunity!
...
Solved the food and drinks needed for the celebration.
Long before the announcement of the celebration, many of Norman's believers were busy transporting a large amount of materials needed for the celebration from all over Ceylon Territory to the Dawn City outside Chim Town.
The mountains of supplies are not a secret at all, so they simply announced in advance that there will be a big meal and free beer during the celebration.
Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of this grand event.
Just being able to eat and drink at the celebration makes them look forward to it more than the harvest festival in previous years!
The time of the harvest festival is in October, and it will come soon.
But the harvest festival event jointly organized by the king's power represented by the countess, the Church of the Radiant God and the Church of the Harvest has never provided similar benefits.
Free food is provided at the Harvest Festival to celebrate the blessings of the gods and the hard work of mortals in this year, but each person can only get a little bit, about less than half a mouthful.
The symbolic significance of the ceremony is far greater than its practical significance.
The reason why this festival is expected is that people have the custom of returning to their respective homes after the Harvest Festival to prepare a big meal to celebrate with their own conditions.
The big meal for the poor may be the long-lost fragrant bread, plus a large piece of bacon and delicious vegetable soup with oil and egg flowers floating in it.
The big meal for the rich and nobles will be more abundant.
But this big meal still has to be paid for by each person.
The celebration organized by the believers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge is different!
What's the difference between rich and poor!
Since we are going to hold a celebration, we should treat everyone equally and have a carnival together!
The celebration site is still the flat open space where people gathered to watch movies last time.
It's just that it has changed a lot now.
Last time, time was tight and conditions were limited, so everyone basically stood or sat on the ground, which was pure natural soil.
When Lancelot came again this time, the open space in front of him had completely changed!
The clean and tidy bluestone slabs were neatly laid out, and there was no need to worry about stepping deep and shallow in the muddy place.
The whole open space suddenly felt very formal!
Hundreds of long tables that were spliced and made in a hurry were neatly arranged on the west side of the open space!
Further away, hundreds of chefs who were temporarily recruited were already working in full swing.
Although they basically used the simplest cooking method, the ingredients were quite rich!
A large number of slaughtered cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks, tons of flour, and a large number of seasonal vegetables and fruits that were still fresh under the dual protection of magic and divine arts, piled up like a small mountain!
Before entering the celebration venue, the rich aroma of roasted whole cattle, mixed with the aroma of sauces and spices, had already drifted in the wind.
Just by smelling the smell, Lancelot felt that his stomach was already rumbling!
In order to attend the carnival tonight, Lancelot didn't eat much at noon. He just bought a thin pancake on the roadside to fill his stomach.
"The big meal is free and unlimited. It's really a super big meal!"
"Praise the Church of Seeking Knowledge! I love them so much!"
Others around him exclaimed.
Lancelot could even hear his subconscious "gulp" swallowing of saliva.
Originally, he expected that the big meal would be enough to fill his stomach. After all, so many people could eat for free. He was really afraid that this meal would bankrupt the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
As a result, the Church of Seeking Knowledge was so real!
A big meal is a big meal!
The kind that is not discounted at all!
...
There are 3 more chapters in the evening. The supplementary chapters and extra chapters depend on the time I finish writing. Sorry, I was busy watching the A-share market and wasted some time. I will resume the normal 5 chapters at 6 o'clock tomorrow!
PS: The A-share market has skyrocketed too much. Guozi ran away with a guilty conscience. I dare not wait. Is there anyone who understands the market to predict the trend after the National Day?
