Chapter 695 - 482
Indeed, it was too fast, compared to the past extensive construction methods, the new construction method using prefabricated panels and modularization to accelerate progress, boasted a construction speed far beyond the past.
Had it been a person of the Master of Wisdom, they would have understood all this at a mere glance, but unfortunately, this was a Divine Envoy of the Noble God. Although he was a Sage, he was not one for pioneering. Even though he often delved deep, he was utterly clueless and powerless when it came to the new knowledge stemming from the past.
Therefore, Malin took the time to introduce the process once more, and then the Sage finally grasped it—he certainly wasn’t foolish, he simply lacked that last step to understanding.
The Church’s matters in the Shepherd region weren’t yet over when the God of Commerce stirred, as the Bishop of the grand diocese in the Farole region had already taken his place. After visiting the new pastures, he immediately turned to recommend the young people from the local Rongma to Malin.
For such a sensible Church, Malin, of course, would not refuse. After accepting these young people, Malin had the group’s side start a remedial class, letting the Apprentices who had followed Malin in the early years (who were mostly in charge now) to re-educate these youngsters.
Once the teaching was complete, there were plenty of positions in Malin’s Farole layout waiting for them to shine.
The two parties discussed further cooperation, and the old Bishop left very satisfied. Malin provided an escort for part of the way—by now, most of these smaller churches understood Malin’s character of respecting the old and loving the young, and those who were sent were elders who had weathered storms and would not act arrogantly due to their age.
The results were good, in their eyes, Malin also preferred doing business with such perceptive people.
So when a small church like that of the God of Fishermen came along, Malin still greeted the elderly High Priest with a smile—this Deity was too weak, and Malin had never heard of him before. It was Matilda who confirmed there indeed was such a deity; otherwise, Malin would have thought someone might be trying to pull a scam at his doorstep.
According to the old High Priest, the Church of the God of Fishermen had reached the brink of life and death—the last Bishop had died of illness, and now the entire Church was devoid of any Bishops; even High Priests like him numbered fewer than three, with only two small dioceses left in the entire Western Human World, one in the South of Farole and another in the Western province of Sydney.
It was the cruel God of the Sea who had seized the divine position from the God of Fishermen.
