Fortunately, Aini always had to give a discount to listen to her words, and Yi Ming quickly figured out that the so-called territory was just another new task assigned by the Academy Council to herself and others: Since the Undead Forest (the name will be changed sooner or later) has been confirmed to be able to live in, it will be urgent to build a fortress defense and stronghold immediately. So the Academy Council decided that the investigation team led by Yi Ming and him would build a stronghold here first... Of course, it is naturally impossible to let them be idle.

Starting from scratch, Aini also brought a coordinate this time. According to the positioning of this coordinate, the magicians of the academy can use teleportation magic to transport fifty retired soldiers, as well as some military supplies and food, but they can only end here. The next thing can only be done by Yiming and the others themselves. However, according to Aini, when this mission is over and a new leader arrives, the Academy Council will reward Earl Iming and Viscount Meyeri.

This shows from another aspect how powerful the Academy's Council is, and what kind of aristocratic title is, you don't need to get the consent of the royal family.

Of course, according to Yi Ming's opinion, this title is not worth anything at all, just like the honorary visiting professors in his own world, it just sounds more majestic.

Aini did not deny his idea, which shows that what Yi Ming thought was not too far away. Even if he slaughtered a dragon and explored a way, he would not be able to get a legitimate title in any country. Moreover, neither Yi Ming nor Mealie wanted to serve the Leah Empire all the time. They fought against almost all the ruling classes in that world for six years. Although most of it was because of the necessity, the two of them were still a little disgusted with the tools of state rule. If it were not for the fact that this world was completely unrestrained to those who were psychics like them, they would not have chosen to follow the orders of a ruling class to do things.

Different concepts influenced the choices of the two.

In the original world, people like Yi Ming were equivalent to monsters, and they were only afraid and panic. Even if they were willing to communicate with the ruling class, and became their help, so what? Their power was not something that humans could control. Once the emperor and the ministers were in power, when the new rulers came to power and the old center left, everyone would have suspicion about them. Every ruling class wanted them and hoped that they would only use it for their own purposes.

This is certainly impossible.

Even if Yiming and the others are willing to serve a ruler, their fate will not change. They are "different" and this cannot be changed. Everyone who receives their help will be excited, but at the same time, his enemies will regard Yiming and others as the number one thorn in their eyes. If they are ordinary people, they can still seek protection and support. However, even if "anomies" like them really seek help from others, there will not be many people to help them. Even those who have been helped by them will be busy clearing their relationship with them, because the entire society will not accept the existence of "anomies".

"Stop thinking, you are not humans at all!"

This is what a leader of an organization who tried to secretly destroy Yiming and others said. From then on, Yiming knew that any compromise with human society itself would be of no effect. If you want to survive, then you can only fight to the end.

But in this world, they are at least not "unique". Although strictly speaking, their abilities are still far from the so-called "talent" in this world, at least those who have this ability are recognized in this world.

This is also why Yi Ming did not strongly dislike the academy order.

However, due to the various dark stories I have seen in the officialdom before, Yi Ming does not want to have too deep interactions with the ruling class of a country. Some things will not change no matter which world they go to. The Federation and the Empire are confronting, the Academy and the Royal Family are confronting, and according to Marian, even the Heyan Tower within the academy is also confronting the Tower of Heaven. Even if the "different" feature is thrown away, various interests are really troublesome, and you will fall into a trap that will never be restored by accident. Therefore, Yi Ming does not want to go too deep. From his perspective, the tasks assigned are as long as they are completed, and there is no need to fail, but you should not do it too outstanding. So this is why Yi Ming even tries to minimize his responsibilities in killing dragons. He does not want to be regarded as a monster that is quaint.

So Yi Ming didn't want to be a temporary lord so much, although in his opinion, this mission gave him a more like the leader of the land reclamation.

"Don't do things too perfectly, and don't do things too badly. It doesn't matter if you fail once or twice occasionally. Anyway, just don't let them fall in love with you."

Yiming finally determined his course of action.

When Aini asked to take Lita away, only Marian showed some hesitation. She was born in a political family and felt something was wrong, but Yiming quickly stopped Marian's inquiry with her eyes. As for Lita, she did not raise doubts, but was very happy about it. For her, staying here was a waste of time. She had poor strength and was useless. It was better to go back to study in the Dark Tower earlier. However, when Aini asked her to cancel the contract with Yiming and Mealee, Lita still hesitated.

But in the end, she did not object to Aini's suggestion.

"O Magic Spirit who complies with the contract, I ask you to leave and terminate the execution of this contract in the name of singing and control."

Accompanied by the lazy voice of Aini's voice, the magic circle floating beside the three of them shattered in an instant, and then turned into several flashes, shot into the air without direction, disappearing. Yiming and Mealli felt their power, but did not find anything abnormal. Lita's face looked a little strange, but in the end she didn't say anything. Perhaps, what Mealli said to her that night had already played a very important role.

“I will work hard.”

Before Aini and Lita disappeared, Lita solemnly assured the two of them.

"I will never disappoint my brothers and sisters!"

Hope so.

Of course Yi Ming would not be stupid enough to say this sentence to hit Little Lita's confidence.

As a result, Aini came this time, except for a few empty words, some manpower and necessary equipment materials, there was nothing big about it... What did she do when she came here?

Looking at the fifty soldiers in armor in front of him, Yi Ming seemed to be unable to do anything other than sighing and shaking his head. He is currently the temporary lord of the Undead Forest. To put it bluntly, he is just the "predecessor" who planted trees and later took advantage of the shade. Fortunately, Aini also ordered Marian, Elinoa and Belloga to help him - since the last time, Yi Ming has discovered that the magic of this world is no longer just a weapon of mass destruction.

“First of all, we need a road.”

Yi Ming pointed to the map in front of him. This was an old-fashioned map of the empire. The original pale tone of the Undead Forest has been painted green. Yi Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to a point below the map.

"We need to build a road so that we can transport food, convey information, and even facilitate the influx of people. Although it looks like a fortress, it is not a real fortress. It is obvious that the college hopes to use it as an outpost for rebuilding this forest. So our goal is to build, not a military station."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Elinoa couldn't help but ask, but Yiming did not answer her question, but raised her head and glanced at Marien.

"Because if we garrison now, we will give others a tribute. Miss Alinoa, generally speaking, in areas where the border is not determined, the first place to garrison is the territorial border of this country. Do we want to turn this place into a military sentinel?" As he said, Marian reached out and drew a line on the map of the Forest of the Dead, which was exactly one-third of the position. "If we really garrison here, then other countries are at least qualified to compete for the right of two-thirds of the land. We must not allow them to have a tribute in such a place."

In politics, Marian knows much more than Elinoa, and Elinoa is obviously more like a traditional knight.

“So we need a road first to welcome more immigrants.”

Yi Ming continued to talk, while Mealie looked at the map with interest, not knowing what she was thinking about again.

"The most important thing at the moment is to open up the surrounding land so that they can live in places. To put it bluntly, it is to open up land... but there are only fifty soldiers, and it is not easy to do these things well."

"Leave it to me, Yiming."

Marien suddenly spoke, which made Yi Ming stunned.

"Leave it to you?"

"certainly."

Marien raised her chest proudly, as if she was very proud.

"I will let you see clearly where the essence of elf magic lies."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Seeing Marien say this, Yiming nodded, which made Marien who was originally talking about the next one unsustainable.

"As for those mice..."

Yi Ming gently tapped the table, and a trace of danger flashed through his smile.
