Lord Ostia, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

“It will take at least three months.”

“……I can’t help you, I can’t do it, goodbye!”

When Gladys heard this number, she wanted to turn around and leave on the spot. There was no other way. She could handle a population of one million. How many people were there in the Earth Mother Church? Including her as the bishop, there were only over ten thousand people, and that was not counting those shallow believers.

Tens of millions of people? One person has to be responsible for the food supply of thousands of people. Who can bear it?

Chapter 439: Give money? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

“It’s not just you. Eos will be responsible for the refugees’ expenses while they are in their territory.”

Knowing that the legal loli in front of him had misunderstood, Odis quickly opened his mouth to explain. Well, of course he knew that even if he sold all the Mother Earth Cults, he probably wouldn’t be able to collect so much.

If all this food could be sent directly to the North, Odis would have dared to conquer the entire continent two years ago.

Well, that’s what happens when ignorance is fearless.

Of course, if you really want to do it, it may not be impossible. After all, in the military, how can you know that you can’t defeat someone if you haven’t fought him before? Temple calculations and the like can only be used as a reference.

Odis, who had taken a trip to the mythological version of the Three Kingdoms, knew very well how powerful the brave warriors were.

Hearing what Odis said, Gladys breathed a sigh of relief. If she were asked to provide food for tens of millions of people for several months, she could show Odis what suicide by slitting her throat was like today.

“Just the Holy Kingdom part?”

“Of course not only that. I plan to purchase food without a limit.” When Odis said this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Gladys: “You also said that the Earth Mother Goddess Church is the largest food seller on this continent. You can do this, right?”

“Wait, you mean acquisition? Paying for it?”

This made Odis’s forehead pop up with black lines. What do you mean by paying? When did I say I wouldn’t pay? You were so nervous just now because you were afraid that I wouldn’t pay?

“Of course, we in the North don’t lack money, but we lack supplies.”

“That’s fine. As long as the money is in place, food won’t be a problem.”

“Okay, let’s go then!”

“Where?”

“Of course it’s the Pope’s Palace. Otherwise, is it your home?”

Odis smiled noncommittally. The Earth Mother Cult is interesting. The largest food seller in the entire continent… It can be said that it controls the food problem of the entire continent. Such a sect… is really scary.

In this world, no one should know better than Odis what happens when people are extremely hungry.

That will be a force that sweeps over everything. Nobles? Monsters? Gods?

Everything will be swallowed up.

Kings, princes, generals, and ministers? It’s nothing but a joke. The people of the world are the soil for the existence of gods. Without faith in gods, they will be pulled down from the sky.

However, in this world, such a sect can only be considered second-rate… It’s quite funny.

Gladys didn’t react at first. She was stunned for more than ten seconds before she approached Odysseus. She didn’t understand why Odysseus was so polite to the Earth Mother Cult. Other kings never paid for food.

After talking with Gladys for a while here, the Pope over there is probably already prepared.

He had always wanted to see how prosperous the Holy Kingdom’s capital, Westram, was. It was a place blessed by the gods and a place where the gods were worshipped. Believers of almost all gods gathered here.

When Odis first came here, he had great expectations for this place. If there is a comparison, it is probably like a rural child who has never been to a big city and his yearning for Beijing.

The Holy City Advanced School of Magic and Martial Arts… the place Odis had always dreamed of going to. But when he looked back, he realized that once missed, it was missed. Although it was a pity, there was no need to look back.

Actually, Gladys had prepared a means of transportation, and it was quite luxurious, but the problem was that Odis simply walked out… The bishop lady of the Mother Earth opened her mouth, but finally closed it.

She is here to do the reception, and guests are given priority.

Of course, there is a little bit of revenge in this. Just like most airports need to be built in the suburbs, the parking lot of this Asian dragon carriage is also on the edge of the holy city. If you want to walk from here to the Pope’s Palace, it is not so easy to walk just by legs.

“This is where most of the cult members live. It’s considered a residential area for civilians.”

Odis nodded slightly, watching the civilians around him greet Gladys, and he felt a little more favorable towards this legal loli bishop. In this world, the nobles who can mingle with the civilians are generally considered to have good character.

“They all greeted you. It seems you have a good reputation in this area?”

“There’s nothing we can do. The Earth Mother Goddess is rarely believed in by nobles, and even fewer officials are willing to believe in her. Merchants worship the Goddess Woking more. If we want to preach, we can only choose among the common people.”

“I don’t really understand why they don’t believe in the Mother Goddess. She is so great.”

Gladys spread her hands helplessly, her big eyes filled with equally big doubts.

Odis did not say anything about this question. He thought to himself that the requirements for believing in your Earth Mother Church are not high for a lay believer, but if you want to become a formal member and priest of the church, you need to remain absolutely neutral as much as possible. In this case, which official would be willing to believe? Absolute neutrality means that you cannot rely on anyone. How can they make progress?

Who would be willing to do something that has no benefits? Even if you were Odis, he wouldn’t be willing to do it.

“See that particularly tall statue? Oh, it’s the one holding a sword.”

“That is Tyr, the god of justice. Most of the paladins under Eleonora are his followers. Before Eleonora took over the Inquisition, the Inquisition was controlled by the Triumvirate of Justice.”

“Are you curious about why the famous God of Justice has only one hand and one blind eye?”

“Mr. Odis, here, here. Do you want to try this? This is a good thing that is only available in the civilian area. If the nobles go there, no one will rush over to sell it, and the nobles won’t eat it either.”

“The timing is fine. The Pope will send me a signal when he’s ready.”

“Compared to the Noble District, I prefer this place. The Mother Goddess of the Earth loves every living being equally. The Mother Goddess is tolerant, and all things are naturally Her children.”

“Also, we will distribute some food to those refugees, slaves, and the like.”

“Are you asking whether the slaves’ food will be stolen? Don’t worry, even the tax collectors dare not take away the food, because it is a gift from the gods. If anyone dares to prevent those believers from feeling the Mother Goddess’s gift, I will beat their heads off!”

Gladys kept chattering along the way about various places in the holy city. To Odis, she felt more like a little girl than an elderly woman.

Could it be that this woman’s body has not grown, and her mind has also stopped?
