Chapter 284
Three days later, the carpenter arrived at the dilapidated church as promised with his men. Although he had been prepared, he couldn't help sweating when he saw the building that looked like a ruin.
It would be better to tear it down and rebuild it. What's more, there is nothing to renovate.
Although he was resentful, there was nothing to say. After all, Elena was an important customer. For the sake of the reward, he should shut up and work honestly.
The carpenter came over with a group of men and set up a temporary residence outside the church. Obviously, they planned to live nearby before the completion of the work.
Listening to the sound of ping-pong, the children poked their heads out. They had never seen such a scene in their lives. Although they had never heard of similar arrangements, they subconsciously felt that things were going to change.
Facing the hard-working carpenters, Weiwei was also very hospitable. She provided all the meals for the day to ensure the nutrition of everyone.
The carpenters praised Weiwei's craftsmanship, and the food in the orphanage was amazing. Every meal had some meat instead of hard-to-chew black bread, and the combination of meat and vegetables was nutritionally balanced.
Weiwei also took into account that carpenters would sweat a lot when doing heavy work, so she added heavy oil and salt, which can be said to be quite in line with their appetite.
Many young carpenter apprentices have already said that they don't want to go back, and the food they eat with their own masters is not as good as being orphans here.
And there is a gentle and considerate beautiful girl like Weiwei to be pleasing to the eyes. The environment is really different when compared horizontally.
Those who said these words were naturally criticized by Bruce. After all, it was too rude and showed no respect for his master.
Elena has a way to kill time, that is, sitting on the grass outside the church, leaning against a tree to supervise the carpenters' renovation.
It's not that he doesn't trust Bruce and his apprentices, but he simply likes the feeling of watching the old church get better little by little.
Anyway, there is nothing to do normally, and staying in the house will only be caught by the two sisters as a toy.
Kalina is as sticky to Elaina as always, sleeping soundly on Elaina's thighs, her soft and cute face collapsed into a ball, making people can't help but touch her head.
The feeling of emptying the brain is unexpectedly addictive. Although it is just a daze, this kind of comfortable life makes Elaina enjoy it very much.
It makes him feel that it would be good if it could go on forever. He doesn't need to do anything, just blow the wind outdoors and spend his days leisurely every day.
Unfortunately, such a plain life seems to be unable to apply to him. Such days have not lasted long, and a group of uninvited guests come here.
From a distance, a group of clergy in white robes are walking slowly, chanting incomprehensible prayers, obviously belonging to the Church of the God of Light.
Elaina noticed the other party at the first time, and his brows couldn't help but frown. It can be said that the other party's arrival is not very unexpected, and he more or less expected it.
After all, this dilapidated church once belonged to the Church of Light, but it was abandoned for some reason, and the old nun who stayed was also expelled from the Church of Light, and it became a completely ownerless place.
In order to use this place as a place to adopt orphans, the old nun spent her life savings to buy the land here, which made this orphanage barely established.
Although she no longer has a position in the Church of Light, the old nun is still a loyal believer of the God of Light. Her lifelong dream is to see the church renovated so that the orphans she adopted can live a better life.
Now Elaina is undoubtedly realizing the dream of the deceased old nun, but the act of renovating the old church will definitely attract the attention of the Church of Light.
There are many signs that the Church of Light has the idea of monopolizing faith, using various means to win over believers, and taking back all the things related to the Church of Light.
No one cared about the dilapidated church before, but it was nothing more than the Church of Light deciding that it would be meaningless to take back this ruined building.
After getting it back, they have to find a way to renovate it. There is no need to spread the doctrine in the poor South City District, after all, it cannot bring them enough benefits.
Now that Irina has spent a lot of money to start the renovation, such a big renovation will inevitably reach the ears of the Church of Light.
With a crooked mind, they immediately sent people from the church branch in the North City District, with the purpose of taking control of this broken church again. Since someone is repairing it for them "free of charge", they are not unwilling to send people to guard it.
"Masters, you have worked so hard to rebuild the church. The God of Light will definitely thank you for your work if he is alive.What I have done will surely bless you to live in the light in the future. "
The old man, a high-ranking clergyman who took the lead, said with the look of a host. Those who didn't know would think that this church belonged to him. They found these carpenters to renovate the church.
Obviously, the carpenters were also stunned. They were just working. Why did a large group of strangers suddenly appear and talk to them like this?
Looking at the other party's iconic robes of the Church of Light, they didn't know how to react for a while. Not many people dared to go against the Church of Light.
Seeing this, Elena patted Kalina in her arms and asked her to hide alone. After all, Kalina was different from Elena. Kalina is a pure-blooded white dragon, and he doesn't know if these charlatans from the Church of Light will see anything.
Although she didn't want to be separated from Elena, in order not to cause trouble for him, Kalina still hid in the woods in the distance.
The remote old church has nothing good, except that it is remote enough. There are many places to hide nearby, so there is no need to worry about being easily found.
After Kalina walked away, Elena stood up from the shade of the tree, walked to the believers of the Church of Light and blocked them in the middle.
"You continue to work, I will receive the guests. "
Waving his hand to signal the carpenters to continue working, Elena set his sights on the old priest who was obviously the leader.
The holy light on the other party was very strong, especially compared with other ordinary priests. One could tell at a glance how deep his foundation was.
But Elena, who was also sensitive to the holy light and loved by the holy light, felt very strange. The other party's holy light made him feel very uncomfortable, just like pure white milk mixed with some sewage. These holy lights gave people a feeling of impurity.
As a person who mastered the holy light, Elena found it difficult to feel close to the other party. On the contrary, Elena instinctively rejected these so-called orthodox believers of the God of Light.
