"Number one hundred and thirty-seven!"

     In the trading market, on the huge rostrum, in front of tens of thousands of spectators below, the consul put his left hand into a transparent box full of notes, and after pulling out a note from the box, he directly Open the note and read the number on it aloud.

     Immediately, an excited voice sounded from below: "It's me, it's me, I'm hit, I'm hit..."

     Everyone immediately stretched their necks and looked around, and finally found the lucky guy who was hugging the people on the left and right and shouting in the westernmost corner.

     They couldn't help showing envious eyes, because looking at the man's clothes, he was clearly just like them, just an ordinary person.

     But now, he has become one of the eighty lucky ones.

     ——You must know that a bottle of holy water consecrated by the Pope can be sold for at least four hundred gold coins.

     Four hundred gold coins are enough to provide food and clothing for three generations of a family.

     Thinking of this, they immediately withdrew their gaze from the man and looked back at the stands.

     Seeing the consul put his hand into the lottery box again, they couldn't help but clenched their fists.

     "Bless the God of Light, you must draw me."

     "I must be selected, I must be selected, whether I can raise enough money to buy a house depends entirely on this time."

     ...

     Soon, the consul on the stage grabbed another note and read out the number on it.

     The audience immediately became lively again.

     And as the consul drew out more and more numbers, the atmosphere in the audience became more and more tense.

     Because there are more than a thousand people who have completed the task, but there are only 80 winners.

     So when the Consul finished reading the last number, not only did the previous cheers disappear, but instead there were continuous sighs.

     But even though they were disappointed, they quickly adjusted.

     "Although I didn't win the lottery, in the past two months, I have made a lot of money by purchasing grain from the village and transporting it to Casta City for sale."

     "It should be said that ninety-nine percent of the people who participated in this event made money. Although the vast majority of people may not make much, at least we can live a lot more comfortably this year."

     "That's right, thanks to Casta City for creating this opportunity for us."

     ...

     Hearing this, the consul laughed directly.

     Then he raised his hand and pressed down: "Quiet, please be quiet first."

     "First of all, let's congratulate the eighty lucky individuals," he said.

     "I also invite you to come to Casta City to participate in the holy water giving ceremony in seven days' time."

     Because the cardinal of the church has not arrived yet.

     Having said that, he paused, and the smile on his face grew wider: "Secondly, because the number of holy water is limited, for the 933 contestants who failed to win the prize, after the approval of the council, the owner of Casta City The government has decided to take out 1,866 gold coins from the tax money it has received from the trade market in the past two months, and cast them into 933 commemorative coins, and present them to you to show the city of Casta’s support. Your welcome."
