In Feiqi's opinion, the idea of ​​the elves is very strange. There is no problem with relocating tribes to the mainland, but you can't think that you don't have to pay any price, right? There is no free lunch in the world, and every inch of mountains and rivers is blood, so you either need to pay money or prepare to sacrifice in battle. You will definitely not say a word and force your elves to do it.
Increasing the population of Minas Ishir is actually a good thing. At present, the territory still has a large amount of uncultivated land, and it can only be abandoned without manpower. However, increasing the population like this is absolutely vicious to the territory. The aristocrats who smuggled in the previous wave brought the pain of their family and country conquering, and it was easy to gain the sympathy of the local residents. Moreover, in the plan, Fitch instructed Eddie to hold events in the name of newcomers and use the money of the "smuggling aristocrats" to buy some joy and integration, so that the situation is more controllable.
Where is the elves? Are you ready to come empty-handed? It changed the population structure ratio of the entire territory in an instant? Fortunately, everyone knows that the harvest is good this year, and each household has enough to eat it first. The potato dough in the grain warehouse is still the most popular tourist attraction. Once a shortage of necessary survival materials occurs, the scene will definitely be ugly.
Feich looked at Diderit and could see her sad face and was always in a state of discomfort. He could understand her current emotions, but it would definitely not work. So Feich thought about it and felt that she had to cheer her up, so she said, "Diderit, you should take the initiative and not become a vassal of the Elf Island. You are the lord of Minas Ishir. The name of this place is yours, and you have to say the final word!"
"But this lord..."
"Nothing but! You don't want to be a lord, you like to be a paladin who fights evil and destroys monsters, you like to help the weak, right? You prefer to act on your own rather than direct others to do things, let alone be a ruler. Do you have this idea?"
Diderit looked at the ceiling with his eyes slanted, first nodding hard, but then shook his head vigorously. "No, Feichi, listen to me. I did think that before, but later I found that being a lord can also help people, and letting everyone have enough is also a crime to fight against crime - you said it was right. But recently... I felt very tired and even a little lazy, and then I encountered problems in prayer, which made me very frustrated."
"Are you sick?" Feiqi shook his head. The Paladin's training made them strong, and the sacred power filled with the body made it difficult for the disease to get close to him. "When did this suddenly start?"
"It's almost half a month." Didlit said, "I... how can I say it well... Feiqi, do you know the feeling of suddenly not wanting to do anything, suddenly feeling that life is meaningless, and everything I do is useless? These feelings suddenly emerge. Then, I also knew that this negative thought was wrong, so I meditated and prayed according to my usual methods. But I prayed but didn't get a response, and my situation did not improve, just like the goddess didn't want to pay attention to me. However, my magical powers are still there, which means that the goddess has not given up on me. I tried hard to find the reason, but no matter how I prayed, it was useless. This... Feiqi, do you think, do I have any problems that I can't solve, and I will gradually be unable to be a paladin in the future?"
"You can't help it! It's not that serious. You are just under great mental pressure and cannot resolve the worries of the Elf Island, which leads to a little depression. If you want to open it, everything will be fine."
"Depressed? But why doesn't the goddess respond to my prayers?"
"I guess she's too busy to get busy? I know she's been busy with a very important thing recently, which is very important to the creatures in the entire Yongli Continent. Oh, don't look at me, I think it's not the time to make this public. I can only say that even the Goddess of Truth needs to put out all her energy to deal with that." Feiqi didn't want to reveal the fact that the Creator destroyed the world and the Goddess was preparing to stop him, so as not to cause panic after it spread. "According to my estimate, if the Goddess does not respond, he must be too busy. Isn't your magic a problem? That means you're actually fine. If you feel depressed and can't lift your spirit, I have something here that might come in handy."
Feiqi took out the "Last Light of Hope" from his pocket. In the transparent small crystal bottle, the twinkling silver starlight combined with the soft white halo, giving people a comfortable and comfortable feeling. He put the bottle in Diderit's hand, "This is what the little angel of Hope just took from the Kingdom of Gods today. It was given by the goddess, called "Light of Hope".
Feiqi omitted the three words "last" because he did not want to stimulate the elf who was depressed. "The Last Light of Hope" kept glowing in the elf's palms, and Didrit's eyes gradually lit up. She gently stroked the bottle with her fingers and said, "This light is so beautiful that it is hard to describe in words, even the elf's words..."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Feiqi tilted his head and looked. He had never seen the elves' sigh on the crystal bottle. "Oh, by the way, the little angel of Holy Light went to the Kingdom of God and said that there was a lot of changes there. The Kingdom of God after the reconstruction is now busy, and the saints and angels are not idle, which means that the goddess must be busier. So, I think it is normal for me to get a response if there is a prayer. The goddess cares about us, and we should also care about the goddess, be considerate and considerate!"
"Did the little Angel of Holy Light say that? Oh, the angel will not lie. But what about my previous emotions?"
"I'm thinking about it. It's probably because the Elf Island practice makes you uncomfortable, feel hurt, or even feel betrayed. So, you start to wonder if this is the case elsewhere."
"As soon as you say this, I fully understand... Well, it should be like this, you analyzed it correctly." Diderit looked at the luminous crystal bottle in his hand and suddenly said, "Hey, why does this thing look like a holy object in the hymn of the church's history? I remember I've seen it once... I can't remember the words, but I still have an impression of the illustrations."
"It is the holy object of the church and then dedicated to the goddess. Isn't the goddess just now giving it to me again. By the way, do you still remember the record in that book?"
Diderit shook his head and said he didn't remember it. "Feich, handing in a sacred object will allow you to get the title of saint. Although this hope crystal bottle has been handed over once, but..."
Feiqi took the crystal bottle back with a whoosh. "It's better to have less than more things. Don't report this to the sect master, otherwise there will be a lot of disputes. Even if the sect master admits that this thing is mine, can I still refuse it if I ask me to put it in a certain place for exhibition? I still use this thing, it's very important! And, the saints can go to heaven, right? I have already gone there, so I don't want that reputation."
"Okay, I also think that since it was given to you by the goddess, let's deal with it according to your ideas. If you don't report it, don't report it. But from time to time, can you lend me a look? I like that light very much." After Didlit said that, Feiqi stuffed the crystal bottle into her hand again, which moved her very much.
"Didrit, the goddess is busy, and the saints in the kingdom of God are busy. After the little angel went up, he saw Lord Kipling, and he was in a hurry. I think even the saints who should have enjoyed eternal rest are acting, and we mortals should act more. I have always believed that when you are busy and do something meaningful, the troubles, anxiety, and self-doubt will gradually disappear!"
"What you said makes sense. Think back, when I was an apprentice of Paladin, I was exhausted every day, but I never lost or doubted myself. At that time, Teacher Nathaniel assigned me many tasks, and some of them that I didn't want to do, but... Yes, although I didn't want to do it, those tasks were beneficial, and I shouldn't be picky."
Seeing that Diderit was completely cheered up, Feiqi felt much more relieved: "The Paladin is going to meet the challenge, but he never had the right to choose the enemy. If he encounters a problem, he will solve it. Isn't it just a thousand elves immigrants? After taking it, he will find a way to solve it!"
"Hehe, you look so excited." Diderit finally smiled, and then slowly said, "Thank you, Feich."
"You're welcome, I'm willing to serve you." Feiqi scratched his head: "Okay, we should start to meet the challenge next. A thousand elves are a lot of people in your territory, so we have to have a plan. Does Eddie know about this? Has she ever said anything?"
"I asked her and she said it was beyond her ability and needed your advice."
"Well...Didrit, my first suggestion is how about you appoint Eddie as the financial officer of the territory? She has a good ability and is very familiar with the situation of the territory. More importantly, she is a human... To be honest, I don't understand the plan of Elf Island not wanting to pay, so it's better to have a trusted person in terms of money and materials."
"Eddie's ability is fine, but she is your subordinate. Are you willing to let her be independent?"
"Everyone is independent, of course I agree. Why, do you think the Hall family is practicing slavery?" Feiqi shook his head and smiled. "If Eddie can manage finances and logistics well, then we can take advantage of the elves' placement. My second suggestion is to set up a special area to accommodate immigrants, whether humans or elves. They want to learn Minas Ishir's life skills. If they can't support themselves by work, they can't leave that area."
"I heard it right, it seems like a prison!"
"I'm sure you heard it wrong." Feiqi explained: "If you don't have any skills, everyone must have the serious ability to support themselves. I don't know what life is like on Elf Island, but on the mainland, the natural and human environment here form the lifestyle of the mainland. Minas Ishir is not prosperous now, only pastoral, countryside, forest and lake, which also limits some specific skills. For example, the minstrel is not as good as the Holy Trinity Castle here, and it will definitely not earn much money to support themselves. The territory's demand for soldiers is also limited, so what if it can be fought? I'm not saying that they were not good at their original skills, but in this territory, they really need to make choices. Besides, if an elf would farm and fish, then he only needs to make sure that he is proficient in the common language and understand the laws of the territorial area to leave."
"Ah... Do you need some requirements in the goddess's belief?"
"Of course," the Paladin thought very carefully. Feiqi naturally agreed: "Language, law, belief, and life skills, focus on these four aspects. In the future, no matter how many immigrants come to and what race, you must experience them all. As long as you treat everyone equally and not specialize, I think at least it can eliminate a lot of misunderstandings and barriers."
Dideri nodded. After becoming the lord, she gradually realized that both elves and humans are kind, but they are always on guard against each other. They all think that the other is a "despicable villain who likes to stab the knife in the back" and is all "no credit, treacherous and cunning" - this is obviously inconsistent with the facts. Perhaps this new method of Fitch can play a role in alleviating it.
In addition to eliminating barriers and promoting integration, Feiqi wants to think more. If a territory wants to develop, the most essential force is correct education and an environment that can ensure that education can continue to proceed stably and safely. At present, the church can provide enough shelter for Minas Ishir, so Feiqi can concentrate on growing potatoes and opening a magic school. This immigration transition zone is essentially a larger place to grow potatoes and learn, which is in line with the principles. When the magic school can provide enough teachers, can't we add a learning content to the transition zone?
Magic has too many application scenarios that will change the world. Feiqi has always believed in this. Magic can first improve the ability to protect itself, which is the most basic and important. On this, the qi element rope can be used in construction, and the teleportation technique can be used in logistics...
More applications mean more researchers will be generated, which of course will help create more spells and spells. It is like building a tower, where only the foundation is strong enough and the body is strong enough to rush higher. Even if Fitch no longer has the urgent desire to go home now, his expectations in magic have not changed.
The two of them decided on the general plan for the Minas Ishir elves immigration. Many specific plans were slowly considered when they were implemented, and when they encountered problems, they continued to explore and gradually made progress. Feiqi promised that he would not leave Minas Ishir for the next period of time - unless Diderit sent him to complete a certain task. So they embarked on the return journey together after breakfast with Andrew the next day.
"She really came to pick up Feich!" Andrew touched his beard and found this very interesting. The Shani beside Feich looked quite quiet, and it would be no harm if she was with Feich in the end. But on the other hand, if the elf lord Diderit of Minas Ishir was with Feich, then things would be different. Even the relatively politically slow Andrew could see the significant impact of this matter.
"Should you say something to your father? After all, as Minas Ishir gradually prospers, Diderit's position among the elves will gradually increase, and he may enter the elves' council. If this matter is facilitated..." Andrew thought about it, became more and more determined, and immediately went back to the study to write a letter.
In fact, Feiqi didn't have such an idea. He was busy telling stories to Shani. He was not idle all the way and didn't "harasse" Didrit. The carriage they used when they came, they couldn't continue to occupy it openly when they were next to Didrit, right? It seemed stupid to go back to the empty car, so the elf lord could only pout and enter the car, and secretly decided to seal the car completely after going back.
"Let me be alone and don't harass me." Diderit asked for the "Last Light of Hope" from Feich and put her in the carriage. Her prayers were still not answered, but she no longer doubted herself, so her mind could be calm. When she looked at the "Last Light of Hope", she could always relive the joy and satisfaction of her spiritual when she was inspired by the goddess to become a paladin, and could relive the feeling of full confidence and hope for the future. With this feeling, she would not be afraid of any difficulties ahead.
Several representatives of the Elders' Council of Elves were waiting for her reply in Minas Ishir. Originally, when Diedlit thought of this, she felt very distressed and felt relieved, but now she would not. Feiqi implanted her with the belief of winning and inspired the fighting spirit to overcome difficulties. When Diedlit no longer was troubled by negative emotions, she was still the leader of the Paladin who was brave enough to move forward.
After returning to the territory, she immediately went to meet with the representatives of the Elders Council. There are many old rules in the Elf Island, and only the elves are allowed to participate in the matters of the Council. Without this, Diderit would definitely take Feich to meet those guys.
"Those guys" - Diderit would never have used this title before. However, as the lord of Minas Ishir, she felt that she had the responsibility to give priority to Minas Ishir's interests. She felt increasingly that Feiqi was right. When talking about territorial matters, she should be the lord, and when talking about elves, she should be the elves and not be confused. The general policy can be based on emotions, but specific details need to be given priority to interests and reality.
The carriage continued to move towards Minas Ishir, and Feiqi turned slightly, left Didlit's team, and headed towards the Magic School, which is the Treasure Town. What made him happy was that as soon as he stepped into the school gate, he saw two students waving their arms from afar, and the prototype of the complete three-layer track had already appeared! If the rune track could be completed, the magic matrix would not be difficult next, and it could even be said to be natural. With the matrix, you will definitely become a magician. Feiqi did not expect the progress would be so fast!
"The principal is here! The principal is here!" The students shouted and jumped up. Seeing their excited appearance, Feiqi felt very pleased. It seemed that he was still very popular! "The principal is here, add a meal! Barbecue! Fried bamboo rats! Aunt Liz, you promised us!"
It turned out that the popular one was the bamboo rat... Feiqi stopped caring about it because they were all familiar and long-lost figure in the crowd. The goblin friend was wearing patched but fancy clothes, and was tilted and wrinkled with a small steel helmet with a huge lizard head nailed to it. It was in a serious head heavy, staggering and staggering as he walked, and he had to hold the big lizard head with his hands from time to time.
Feiqi greeted him, "Long time no see you, how are you?"
"Chief, you are very good at hissing!" The goblin fell backwards as soon as he raised his head, but his neck was very tough and actually supported it, and he stood firm again in an exaggerated C-shaped shape. "Chief, I'll do the strengthening ceremony, I'm going to become a monster hunter hissing!"
"You've finished the training? Did Instructor Kelly agree?"
"Of course, Pengpeng is very powerful! Chief, look, this is the petrified lizard monster that Pengpeng killed independently. Pengpeng needs to use it to enhance the ritual hiss!" The goblin took off his hat with both hands: "Instructor Kelly said that the chief must see the evidence of Pengpeng's victory before he can take it down! Hiss for you!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Feiqi took the lizard's head with both hands, and his hands sank, almost staggering and falling. "Why is it so heavy? It seems that you have indeed trained well."
"Of course, my friend could not kill the petrified lizard in the past!" The goblin jumped and jumped, and his happy mouth was almost pressed against his ears.
Feiqi took the petrified lizard head and found something shaking inside. He observed carefully and found that the head had been processed and combined with the steel helmet to form a new closed state, which could be filled with things. He separated the lizard head and helmet again, and found that it actually contained a complete set of main equipment for the enhancement ceremony and the ritual manual!
There was a letter in the manual, written by Kaire, and Feiqi quickly opened it. The new content was very simple, but it also scared Feiqi. Not long ago, the day Feiqi encountered the Fear-Devouring Giant, the Ice Peak Fortress was attacked. Under the siege of the monster hunters and the heavy blow of the Thunder Runes of the guarding fortress, the monster was seriously injured and fled to the depths of the Sunset Mountains. After four consecutive days of hunting, the monster hunters finally completely eliminated the monster. However, the Ice Peak Fortress was damaged, and the room of the enhancement ceremony and the two floors of the ceiling and floor above it collapsed, which needed to be repaired for a long time. Therefore, the enhancement ceremony of Pengpeng could only make Feiqi find a way. After all, only Feiqi could use the magic rune to call the power of the goddess to enhance and transform.
"Are the people in the fortress okay? What monster attacked?"
"Pengpeng was not here that day, and was patrolling outside. He didn't see monsters. They said it was a reptile beast with five long snake heads. Their heads were all different in color and very weird. Everyone was slightly injured, and it was okay. If Pengpeng was there, then Pengpeng would have five heads on his helmet, not one! "
Chapter completed!
