Chapter 534: Chapter 428: Trading Life for the Continuation of Civilization_3 Chapter 534: Chapter 428: Trading Life for the Continuation of Civilization_3 “Has our domain caught fire…?” a new employee wondered as he gazed at the massive flames shooting up into the sky over the land.

It was the first time he had ever seen a fire that burned over a hundred meters in height…

“Guess what our company is called?”

“Bonfire Shelter…”

“So a bonfire is pretty normal then.”

Lifecoach Kawaii-many’s inexpensively acquired disciple, Professor Cute Cuddle, rolled her eyes: “Hurry back to register, or next time you come it will be random again…”

As she spoke, she glanced at the others in the group, some riding horses, trailing slowly behind.

Hundreds of people.

It’s said that they were the second batch of envoys from other churches, and in terms of strength, they were much greater than the previous ones…

Moreover, there were knight legions, various churches, all gathered together.

And just now, in searching for people, they encountered each other, and then the other party actively offered help, expressing some goodwill, so they proceeded together.

“That’s it over there.” She reminded those people.

“Thank you for guiding us, miss…” said an elderly man in armor with a nod of his head.

Afterward, his gaze fell upon that cluster of bonfires, feeling deeply shocked. However, noticing the small church beneath the bonfire, and on the church, the sun symbol composed of a circle and various lengths of lines surrounding the circle, his face revealed a hint of strangeness…

He glanced aside to the church officials who were dressed in plain white edged with gold, walking alongside.

“Tsk… If I’m not mistaken, Bishop, isn’t this the ‘Church of Light’? Are you here for this? To take it back?” he said tauntingly.

However, upon hearing his words, the old bishop acted as if he hadn’t seen anything and didn’t say a word.

Of course, they were not here for this thing but wanted to find out the “Bonfire” Church’s attitude.

He had heard that the “Saintess” might have already made contact with these people.

He wanted to clarify their stance—surely they weren’t about to perform another purge of the godly side?

After all, typically a saint would just occasionally exercise their authority, getting them to cooperate with some tasks, but they normally do their own things, without contacting other powers. The only exception would be when the “Holy Light Court” was on the wrong path, and they would contact others.

So… hearing that the “Saintess” might have made contact with “Bonfire,” they couldn’t help but ponder deeply if they had once again strayed from the right path…

But thinking it over, it seemed they had not.

The saint of this generation seemed to be destined to resolve various natural disasters and provide aid to the displaced, rather than sorting out their issues.

Nevertheless, even if the “Light” Church’s bishop knew that it was probably not their fault, he couldn’t help but personally come to understand the situation, seeking peace of mind.

Of course, if there was indeed a mistake that could be corrected, there was no need for confrontational approaches right off the bat…

What issue couldn’t be resolved through proper communication?

The current “Church of Light” was much more open-minded than the former “Holy Light Court.”

They wouldn’t continue down the wrong path even when knowing their mistake.

‘Oh saints…’ he couldn’t help feeling emotional in his heart.

He admired these people from the bottom of his heart because they were indeed some pure and idealistic individuals.

Moreover…

So far, each saint that appeared over hundreds of years had not had a good end, and almost without exception eventually died a shattered death due to their mission.

This generation…

He feared that one day they too would fall amidst some great catastrophe, sacrificing their lives to prolong the world.

Then, only after several or even many years later, when the natural disasters finally subsided, might someone find their already decayed and only slightly intact skeleton from the scene of the disaster.

These bones would then be collected and stored in the holy mountain of the “Light” faith, serving as a kind of kindling.

And when some catastrophe erupted in the future, shedding the dust, they would emit their final radiance…

While contemplating, he sighed deeply, gazing at the domain, dismounted, and walked towards it, leading the horse by the reins.

…

Above the domain, a “Bonfire People’s Supply and Marketing Cooperative” had opened.

Yeager, who had just moved bricks for half the day and then taken half the day off, stood with many others outside the door, casting curious glances at this supermarket set up by prominent figures.

It was said to be a sort of shop where one could purchase goods to enrich their lives.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped inside, where various flavors of instant noodles were on display, along with many other items he had seen and some he had not…

“A pack of instant noodles only costs 0.02 Points?”

Yeager stopped in front of a shelf stacked with green-packaged instant noodles—

Nowadays, a person could typically earn about 0.04 Points worth of… wages each day.

Yeager still found this term somewhat new; giving money to the displaced was something he had never seen before.

That is to say, aside from their three meals a day, could they still earn enough for an additional day’s meal?

This… was a level of welfare that the slaves had never even imagined.

After looking around, Yeager stopped in front of a pack of chocolate sweets, which he recognized.

In previous brick-moving competitions, whomever achieved first place would receive three pieces as a reward.

They had a strong scent, were sweet, and tasted very good.

Perhaps even nobles may not have had the chance to taste them.

Yeager clearly wanted to buy them, but after looking at the price, he hesitated.

It was the most expensive item in the coop, valued at 0.5 Points!

“0.5 Points could buy more than thirty packs of instant noodles, and it’s almost a third of my recent commendation income.”

Yeager silently calculated his finances and considered giving up, but thinking of his family soon to arrive, he decided against it…

However, at that moment, an employee approached with a certain smile:

“Actually, I think you might consider an installment payment plan.”

“Installment?”

“Yes, that is, you don’t have to pay all the money at once. For example, for this box of Fédel chocolate, you only need to pay every seven days, and each time you only need to give 0.1 Points. Continue for six weeks, and in this way, when you make the purchase, you won’t have to worry about any burden…”

The employee spoke with a smile beaming across his face.
