Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 845 - 845 473 The Descent of Divine Feathers2

Chapter 845: Chapter 473: The Descent of Divine Feathers_2 Chapter 845: Chapter 473: The Descent of Divine Feathers_2 First, they worshipped here and erected a Totem Column; so of the caven stayed while others ran back.

Before long, more caven were brought over by those who had run back, and soon, a tribe of caven erged at the first bend in the river.

They cut down trees, enclosed the river bend, hunted small animals, and gathered fruits and seeds, eating the fruits and carelessly scattering the seeds around the tribe.

Given ti, this area would beco a gathering place for life, with animals and plants thriving endlessly.

“You even provided them with fruit? Were those fruits quickened by you?” Negris couldn’t help but tease upon seeing the ripe fruits on the small tree.

“Yep, would you like so?” As the old tree spoke, a fruit also appeared on a nearby tree.

Negris cautiously slled it and even tasted it. It was sweet. Having been tricked by the old tree before, he ate it only after repeated checking and then had a bellyache all night.

The old tree’s explanation was that its digestive system was different from that of the caven, it was too delicate, which angered Negris into chasing the old tree and breathing dragon fire at it.

The caven’s departure from their safe caves also attracted natural enemies; a group of Bear Goblins from who-knows-where quietly approached and breached the tribe’s defenses under the cover of night.

Just as the Bear Goblins were about to drag the caven away for a barbecue, Ange and a few others ran out and gave the Bear Goblins a good beating, then exchanged so food for the caven and released them from the goblins’ clutches.

They returned the caven to their tribe by the river bend and helped to reinforce their defenses, building a six-ter-high wall.

The caven resud their lives there once again.

“Kvada, the little ones we’ve just nursed were almost wiped out,” Negris said with lingering fear.

These were just minor episodes along the path of reclamation. As the river extended, the environnt of the Southern Desert greatly improved, with the World Tree’s sensing extending as far as the plants reached.

With the increase in vegetation, the soil’s water retention also improved, and the desert quickly turned green.

When Anthony and his people arrived, they saw endless grasslands and neatly divided farmlands.

“This… I… Kvada—”, Anthony didn’t know what to say and swore involuntarily, as nothing else seed adequate to express his emotions.

He wondered if Ange really planned to grow thirty billion kilograms of grain and then exchange the entire Northern Wind Desert for it.

In these tis, there was peace across the Plane, with the Sorcerer Alliance and the Undead Empire entering a strategic stalemate. Anyone daring to disrupt the order would face retaliation from both sides. So, it wasn’t just wars that were avoided—even Thieves’ Groups kept a low profile.

rchants on the road marveled at this unprecedented period of safety; there were no robbery gangs, no need to travel in groups, and no need for rcenary escorts, saving them a great deal of cost.

Landlord nobles also saw the notices posted in the House of the Deceased and were shocked, promptly starting to refuse down paynts, fearing the prophecies ntioned above might happen.

A few die-hard partisans were still willing to take down paynts and expand production, but they found that both the Sorcerer Alliance and the Undead Empire had coincidentally done away with the practice of encouraging grain production with down paynts.

Because, those who feared the most what was prophesied in the notice were they themselves. If this continued, either farrs would suffer from declining grain prices, or there would be a decline in grain production leading to widespread famine.

In the House of the Deceased, no matter what ans the cloaked figures used, they couldn’t delete the notices posted with silver coins, unless they closed down the House of the Deceased.

But obviously, the cloaked figures didn’t have the authority to do that. Did the Council of the Undead have it? Not sure, but in any case, the notices remained posted.

After finding Ange, Anthony first reported the recent developnts, then said, “My Lord, we have completely gained the trust of Great Priest Monica. She has reported our situation to the high levels of the Sorcerer Alliance, and they’ve believed in our identity. From now on, we are the legitimate Church of Light on the surface.”

“What? Legitimate?” Negris was astonished. So quickly legitimate?

“Yes, we are the legitimate ones. The forr Church of Light that had no Pope, no Supre Holy Spirit, no God, only Archbishop Truk has been diplomatically downgraded. Now, the Sorcerer Alliance only recognizes as the Pope—Saint Anthony,” Anthony explained.

“…” Negris didn’t know what to say, as Anthony had already pulled off a similar feat on the Master Plane, doing so with great proficiency.

Back then, he had successfully made the Elves and Dwarves recognize only his Eastern Diocese, and eventually got the Western District to support him as well, effectively sidelining the curia.

But at that ti, he had the resources and manpower of the entire Eastern Diocese to mobilize, as well as Ange’s backing. So, achieving that was not so surprising. But what did he have now?

He had a gift for gab, the power of a demigod, the moral support of two Supre Holy Spirits, and then he settled the matter.

However, from the Sorcerer Alliance’s standpoint, who had control of the Church of Light on the surface didn’t really matter.

With more power on Anthony’s side, of course, they would recognize the stronger party. At least here, there were two Holy Spirits and a Pope, whereas the other only had an Archbishop.

It was probably beyond Archbishop Truk’s wildest dreams that his legitimacy would be snatched away without even having t the contenders.

“However, the Sorcerer Alliance also made a request. They have an important person who needs treatnt for baldness, hoping that we can perform it under absolute safety. They need to inspect and verify the entire treatnt process,” Anthony said.
