Although it was surrounded and intercepted by the natural church, it was always able to win some supporters on the mainland, whether it was in the city or in the countryside, there were always some of their supporters, and even had a tendency to grow for a time, but in the end, it was the natural church that united with the secular forces of many countries in the north and gradually declined, but with the power of the natural church, it still could not eradicate this force

The town of Balve, which had a large population and was quite prosperous, was inhabited not only by merchants, but also by miners and their families.

With the depletion of ore resources, this town also fell into decay for a time, and those who have the ability naturally have to go to other places to start a new life, and those who are not able can only suffer here. The town's shops were dwindling, and most of the merchants left, leaving only a dilapidated tavern, a grocery store, and some poorer townspeople.

But after the mountains of Brienia came under the command of Hathaway Cordillera, the lives of the townspeople began to change. The first is that the people of the town who have mining skills have become important, and the veins around the town are beginning to be exhausted, but there are still other places. In addition to this, the lord's palace sent people to guide the townspeople to open terraces, plant fruit trees, and even stone came in handy - that thing was originally a building material, and the stone in the mountains of Brinia was really good.

Although the town of Balwe has not yet regained its former prosperity, the standard of living of the townspeople has changed significantly, and the number of merchants in the town has gradually increased.

Some people say that poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, which is not completely unreasonable. After all, it is not surprising that people are poor and make any drastic actions, but the poor are also the most grateful, and it is precisely because they have suffered that they know how rare wealth is. They are even more grateful to those who have given them a life of abundance. So when Hathaway got out of the car and entered the town, she was warmly welcomed by the townspeople, and an old lady in her sixties even squeezed a large bowl of goat's milk and presented it to the young lord.

"Simple people. As she lifted the curtains and looked back, Hathaway sighed.

Behind their carriage. The people who had just talked to them. Still looking at their carriage, they were still waving their arms even though they were far away. Send them off.

Under the purple sun, the faces of those townspeople were sweaty, dirty, and so were their bodies, but that kind of bright smile, that kind of sincere respect. But it can't be disguised, it's so memorable and moving.

"yes. What these civilians want is very simple, they just want a stable life, as long as they can eat and dress warmly, they will be satisfied. Demia Piellen, who was sitting next to Hathaway, responded.

Although she is also a nobleman. But when I came to the Cordillera early, I also saw the poverty here, and my family background was not particularly poor. So I also have a lot of feelings about this.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the mountains of Brinia were very vast. It would take nearly a week just to patrol the land in a horse-drawn carriage.

Because they came out early, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and when they were about to leave the mountains of Briennia, the number of pedestrians began to increase.

These people were all people who rushed to the Gettysburg fortress, some were engaged in petty business, some were to buy things, and some were to visit relatives. Of course, there are also others who are rushing to other places. Although the northern part of the province of Cassef was not calm, for some unknown reason, the area around the fortress of Gettysburg was unusually calm, and the panic of the people had been suppressed for the time being, although there was still some worry. But this worry no longer affects daily life.

People are starting to live their lives as normal as before.

The only thing that has changed is. In the past, you may have traveled alone, but now, due to habitual problems, you often travel in a group. Even the mercenaries' business began to flourish.

The carriage in which Hathaway and Demia Piellen rode belonged to the kind of carriage that represented status, so the appearance was very ornate, and the carriage had the logo of the Marquis of Cordillera.

Although not many ordinary people know this kind of symbol, with the magnificence of this carriage and the eye-catching guard, it still makes many passers-by look sideways. And when some of the knowledgeable people recognized it as the Marquis de la Cordilera's procession, the passers-by were even more surprised.

Although in the Cordillera territory, those people often see Hathaway. However, the people of the other realms were very curious about the marquis, and it was in this near-onlooker situation that Hathaway's carriage drove past the most pedestrianized stretch of road.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so popular. Demia Pieren looked out.

"I think they're more curious. To be honest, they didn't know me, they didn't want to know me, they were just curious, and they were completely different from the simple townspeople. ”

"Ahead is the Gettysburg Fortress. ”

Demia Pieron suddenly turned to Hathaway and whispered, "Hathaway, you know that your aunt loves you the most, and you really don't want to be your aunt's daughter-in-law?"

"Auntie, I know you love me. But I ...... It really doesn't fit. A look of confusion flashed across Hathaway's face, but it quickly vanished.

Until now, she wasn't even sure what she was trying to reveal, and certainly couldn't make a clear judgment about her personal life.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Instead of getting angry, Demia Piellen looked at her with concern: "Hathaway, I know that your mother's death has caused you a great deal of confusion, but neither magic nor anything else is all there is to a woman. ”

"I'll think about it, auntie. Hathaway curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet one.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves ahead, and the pedestrians outside seemed to be restless.

Hathaway smiled, "Auntie, it's Connor who has come to greet us. ”

……

After attending to her official duties, Hathaway returned to her lodgings, rested for a while, changed into a casual robe, and went to her study, where Ilona summoned the man from the northern part of the province of Cassef.

Fast Robert knew that the lord did not want the inhabitants of the province of Cassef to go south in droves, and although the burgeoning Cordillera Territory needed a lot of skilled work, if all the people poured into the Cordillera Territory. That's a big problem...... Not to mention how the Cordillera Territory would settle them, Hathaway didn't want to leave a large area of no-man's land in the north of Casserf's province.

At first, Fast Robert didn't know what his lord's plan was for the land north of the province, whether he would just let it go or become a vassal dependent on the Cordillera, but the lord seemed to have made a decision on his trip, and his instructions for Fast Robert were much clearer.

Walking into the courtyard where the lord was temporarily staying, Fast Robert was like a docile lamb. There is no trace of the bravery with which he led the Resistance in battle.

The half-orc guards on both sides of the gate were still as fierce and shy. The splendid armor made the already very tall and mighty body even more majestic, and the giant axe spear of more than three meters paused on the ground to make people doubt whether the bluestone slab could withstand it, and the beast head and half mask covered half of the face of the half-orc guard. Only a pair of eerie strange eyes were revealed.

When you pass through the gate of the Lord's Palace, which is originally very spacious, you will feel overwhelmed by an invisible coercion.

Even for people like Fast Robert, who often come and go to the lord's mansion, the orc guards still never give up, and their fierce eyes always linger on Fast Robert for a long time before agreeing to the other party's entry into the mansion.

Fast Robert always had a sense of insignificance when he sat in front of him, even though he didn't look physically strong.

Compared to those orc guards. The lord's figure is nothing at all, but in front of the other party. Fast Robert has always had an unfathomable sense of awe, there are too many secrets hidden in the other person's body, and Fast Robert feels that he may not be able to guess the other person's thoughts for the rest of his life.

Lancaith stared thoughtfully out the window with his hands behind his back, when he had sent someone to summon him some time ago. This guy didn't know where he had gone, and he only came to see him now, but he looked at the other party's determined expression. I guess this guy is also very rewarding...... As for loyalty, Hathaway really didn't doubt it or.

"Fast Robert has met your lordship. I wish my lord a successful promotion!"

After kneeling on one knee, Fast Robert returned to his place, knowing that his lord did not attach much importance to these superficial things, and as long as his work could bring practical results to the territory, the lord did not mind these false courtesies.

"It's just a great magician, just starting ......"

Hathaway smiled faintly and turned around, "Don't talk about this person, what good news do you want to bring me?"

"Lord Lord, Fast Robert did not dare to live up to your expectations, and this trip was also somewhat rewarding in the northern region of the province of Casef. ”

Fast Robert never had to hide his emotions in front of the lord, and his brown eyes shone with pride, and he could see that he was also proud of the results of his trip.

"Oh, is the origin of Banmo's resistance clear?" Hathaway suddenly came to her senses.

In the Banmo region, there is also a resistance army, and the leader of this team is not only able to gain a foothold in the north of the complicated province of Casev, but also win the trust of the soldiers and civilians under his control, which is not expected by Hathaway, if that guy is really from the central government of the empire, then he will have to be careful to deal with it.

"Well, it's a bit of an eyebrow, this guy seems to be from an organization called the Guardians, and it's said that there is some kind of connection with the Church of Nature, and the specific connection, Fast Robert doesn't know very well. Fast Robert hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Guardian?" Hathaway's brow furrowed immediately.

The Guardian is no stranger to Hathaway, this is a secret society distributed throughout the Titan world, originated more than a thousand years ago in the natural church of some high-level dissidents, because of the natural church's various corrupt and dark dissatisfaction with the natural church to reform the natural church doctrine and canons and was finally ruled by the natural church inquisition to be heretical, several natural church high-level because of some of the ideas of the guardian were also hunted down, and finally angrily left the natural church and ran away, and some believers who originally supported the reform position established the guardian. However, this organization has been the primary target of the Inquisition of the Natural Church since its inception, and the pursuit and killing of these people is also the main work of the Inquisition, even more diligently than the pursuit of the dark line.

Most of the Guardians have good family backgrounds, and they are also quite famous people, most of them have good reputations in the local area, and most of them were ostensibly believers in the Natural Church before they were discovered, and it is precisely because of their obscure way of doing things that the Natural Church cannot eradicate this power, although it has gone through many generations, but it is still unable to do so.

"Are you sure?" Hathaway didn't ask much about the other source, Fast Robert's early results proved his own ability, but Hathaway wanted a more reliable answer to this question.

"I've done a check, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Fast Robert was very cautious in his words, but he was very confident in his tone.

Leaning back in her chair, Hathaway had already trusted the other party's judgment, and the book "The Gospel of Salvation" Comer had also browsed, which was Hathaway's mission book, and although Comer admired the good intentions of the book, he did not believe that it could be achieved, and did not believe that people could do it.

But those who believe in anger are willing to influence the world with their own deeds, they do not have any special institutions, and they do not force people to believe, but they practice their own pursuits with their own actions, and it seems that rescuing these refugees with a tragic fate is also likely to become their accumulation of good deeds.

Hathaway is not opposed to the purpose of the Guardians, nor is she opposed to them developing believers in their own territory, but now that they are directly intervening in the situation in Leon, they may hinder their own plans, which is not tolerated, but fortunately, they still have the initiative, and they will eventually find themselves due to the lack of food sources, and it seems that they still have to have some work to prepare.

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********

Either don't wear it!

A work mistake by the four gods of Fengyun and thunder and lightning led to the destruction of the body of the fourteen-year-old girl Shen Yueying, and what is even more excessive is that in order to prevent Hades from discovering their work mistakes, these four irresponsible guys actually tricked Moon Shadow into a place called the Amadeus Continent to be reborn.
