Several days later, Assistant Priest Zayne from the Tempest Church finally arrived at the mining area, with a solemn expression, methodically conducting careful inspections and purification rituals.
The mine owners, who were usually out of sight to the laborers, as well as their attendants were extremely subservient in front of Zayne, like bugs that could be squashed at any moment, even speaking incoherently.
Many people even knelt before Priest Zayne, believing the priest to be the spokesperson of the gods, and that they ought to bow to the great Tempest Priest.
Assistant Priest Zayne paid no mind to the thoughts of the common folk.
"Hmm, the matter is basically resolved," he said solemnly, claiming that the malevolent spirits that had once resided in the mining area had been completely expelled by him.
Chris didn't know whether his claim was true or false, but at least it succeeded in soothing people's hearts, and no one dared voice any objections.
