Don't take away my human rights.
Chapter 253 The Lanchi Clan is Taking Root and Sprouting in the Empire

Inside the majestic sanctuary, the churchgoers sat quietly, listening to the Precursor's explanation.

Bathed in divine light, the clergyman, revered as the Precursor, wore a silver robe. He stood calmly at the forefront of the sanctuary, unveiling mysteries to the clergy. His voice and every word seemed like harmonies transmitted from heaven, spreading like waves throughout the space, bringing deep comfort.

During his discourse, he would sometimes slightly raise his arm, inciting a clamorous cheer throughout the sanctuary. At other times, he would gently place his index finger to his lips, encouraging people to feel with their hearts rather than communicate with words.

From beginning to end, his gaze was so warm. Whenever he looked at the churchgoers, he gave them the greatest encouragement and support. Even those sitting in the last row could feel the love and concern contained in his eyes.

In less than an hour, the sermon was over.

The Precursor bowed slightly, as if expressing gratitude to every colleague present.

And all the churchgoers returned the same respectful bow.

He slowly left the lectern and stepped down from the platform. Each step seemed like ceremonial music praising the truth. His figure gradually disappeared in the colorful light and shadows, but the surging emotions he left with the clergy lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time, making their eyes burn with passion, involuntarily falling into this illusory state.

After the Precursor left the sanctuary, the silver-armored clergyman, originally responsible for governing the town, quickly followed and walked beside him.

"Lord Precursor, the work of reclaiming the mountain forests behind the town, expanding the city, building public service facilities, tourist facilities, and repairing and widening the roads between neighboring towns is already underway."

The silver-armored clergyman handed over a report.

"Very good, benefiting the present and benefiting the future. The fame of the Batian Church will not only be sung in the near future, but perhaps thousands of years later, people will still revere and commemorate us as gods."

Lanchi took the document and praised.

During the day, he worked as a tutor at Viscount Francis's house, and in the afternoon, he would come to the temple to guide the clergymen of the Batian branch.

Every day was fulfilling and real.

In this town where the average cultivation level was low, with the help of Cat Boss's Nian Dongli (telekinesis) magic, he could easily come to this temple without being discovered by anyone. Besides, very few residents would come near the temple.

"For this great goal, we will fight until our last breath."

The silver-armored clergyman bowed piously.

Although the town residents did not completely trust them, at least in terms of attitude, they had noticed a clear change in the residents of the town.

From the carefully concealed disgust and fear, it had gradually turned into vigilance mixed with a little curiosity.

"Until our last breath."

Lanchi also returned the same salute.

They emphasized equality and fought together for the same goal and belief.

In Lilom City, the fishing and aquaculture industries were already very mature, but most of the unique fish species were only produced and sold locally, and the cost of transporting them to other places was too high.

Fortunately, the town itself had excellent and unique scenery, and it could also create semi-natural hot springs. The mountain forests in the back could also be turned into a pure natural park, which could be developed into a large tourist city.

The silver-armored clergyman showed the reconstruction design drawings personally planned by Lanchi to Viscount Francis. After the Viscount was amazed, he had no way to refuse and could only authorize the silver-armored clergyman to start construction.

Now many residents in the north were planning to move south. According to the fourth-quarter report of the Southwest Province last year, the population was indeed on the rise, so Lilom City not only had the potential to attract tourists, but also had the potential to attract a large number of new residents.

After the initial completion, they would take the most critical step: using the channels of the Batian branch in the Southwest Province to fully promote this dreamy coastal city. If the momentum was good, they could further expand and create a virtuous cycle.
