"You mean, because he has your place, you want to give him some color?" Alain looked at Percy in confusion, "Unreasonable, you're not that naΓ―ve. ”

Besides, they are not with their father, so what's wrong with having someone to accompany him? Should Percy give him a more convincing reason?

"You don't really think I've a crush on him, do you?" Percy's heart tightened.

"Of course not, I just can't see someone pestering you around you, but this time we did make a mistake, we were too underestimated." Alain narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had to say that neither Percy nor he had regarded a person who had not entered the legend as an opponent before.

So this time, he was impulsive.

"I don't know what your reason is, but this time it's my fault," Alain made an instant decision, "You can continue to be his teacher and triple the standard of training him." ”

"Alain, you're so good." Percy guiltily pushed him onto the bed and hugged him, rubbing Alain's forehead, "I actually want to sue you." ”

"Your Excellency Bei won't let you say that there must be a reason for him, but it's really hard for me to teach him a lesson." I didn't kill that kid this time, and I am sure that the things behind him are not over, but with Your Excellency Bei protecting him, I am not too arrogant.

"Actually, my approach is also very naΓ―ve." Percy pressed against Alain, listened to his heartbeat, and whispered, "But at least it will take a little time for me to figure it out." ”

Otherwise, if he doesn't do anything, he won't be able to get over it.

"For life." Alain hugged him with his backhand, "Percy, I'm actually scared, with you, I'm worried all the time." ”

"Why worry, what did I make you upset?" Percy looked up and took his hand.

"I always feel that you will regret it, I always feel that you are on the side of the light, and I left you as if I forcibly occupied you." Alain bit his lower lip, "Otherwise, let's move to the Holy City, anyway, now that Purgatory has been sealed, my father doesn't have to worry about my position." ”

"The Holy Light Brothers are not all inclusive." Percy shook her head slightly, "I know about my brother, and I don't want you to be in that situation like his wife." What are you worried about? Light is my faith, but you are my lover, not by your side, where do I go? ”

"You'll go back to your father......," Alain argued.

"I can't be by his side all the time, my father is of course my father, but Alain, the one who has accompanied me for the rest of my life is you." Percy clasped his fingers and pressed them against his face, "If the loss of purgatory upsets you, then let's grow together to resist all the uneasy forces, okay?" ”

Percy was indeed the one who knew him best, and Alain nodded vigorously.

Even if he hates the power of purgatory, Alan knows that without purgatory, he is just an ordinary legend here, and he has no power to protect Percy at all.

So I'm going to be strong, strong enough to be worthy of you.

"We had a lot of problems before." Percy kissed him on the cheek, "But if we're willing to fix it, it's not a problem." ”

"You've been cold lately, what's the reason for that?" Alain is a little sad, he hasn't felt anything hit him after grinding like this, is Percy too strong or is I no longer attractive?

"Although there are still important things to discuss later, if you do it, it will be delayed for a whole day." Percy pressed Alain's fumbled hand.

"But if you push me down, touch me and say nothing, I'll think about it." Alain showed a pitiful expression, a little aggrieved and about to cry, "Are you still blaming me for my impulsiveness this time, so you don't want to pay attention to me?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to do it, you don't want to button such a big hat......" Percy said helplessly, reaching out and pulling at the hem of his shirt.

"No, I want you to be willing, you are reluctant now, I will not force you." Alain buttoned his neckline and said firmly.

Percy gritted her teeth lightly, and really wanted to post a post in the anonymous area that "Wife's sixth sense is so annoying, it's really TM accurate" to vent her irritability.

"Tell me, what's important?" Alain can always skew the topic and back it up.

"Come and see this," Percy pulled a map he had drawn, hugged Alain to his lap, and pointed to a very large area for him, "This is the Wasteland of Despair where we are. ”

"I know that." Alain nodded, what was it about Percy that had a knot in his heart? In order to live happily, you must find out quietly.

"The Wasteland of Despair was the Plains of Hope, which was originally the famous grain producing area of the Enya world, but it became a desert because of the pollution of Purgatory, and now we have about ...... of arable land," Percy explained as he marked, and then saw Alain absent-minded.

So he stepped forward and knocked on the head.

"Huh? Oh, I'm listening, you go on and say how much area? Alain blinked and said seriously.

"182.91 million hectares." Percy pinched his chest and told him to be serious.

"No, this is nearly two million square kilometers...... "Alan is a little confused, a little too much, the area of the Enya world is about 10% larger than the earth, but 90% is the ocean, the area is like a flattened irregular "zigzag", surrounded by scattered and fragmented large and small island countries, the main species of the continent are all kinds of beasts, humans, dwarves, dogheads, ogres, elves, trolls, jackals......

But seriously, the number of human beings and other intelligent races is a minority, and in the thousands of years that purgatory has been opened, the big demons have basically been stuck in the holy city, and many of the small ones have scattered around the world, giving birth to new professions such as demon hunters, so it is actually far-fetched to say that humans are the masters of the world.

Purgatory used to occupy almost one-third of the continent's area, and now this area is nominally Alan's territory, but after all, after all, most of the forests and grasslands are unmanageable mountain wilderness, and only the flat cultivated land near the river in the middle is the most coveted.

"Are we really guarding it?" Alain was a little uneasy, "Otherwise, we'll give it to my father." ”

"Father doesn't look down on these, the Holy Light Church, as a foreign faith, occupies enough land, and Father doesn't want to make too much trouble with the local forces. We are kind of cronies who have been fostered, and we are used for transition. Percy carefully explained to Alain, "Actually, seriously, this world is really the main city of the North End now. ”

"I don't understand...... "Alain was serious this time, "you can be more detailed." ”

"The Holy Light North Zone refers to the entire magical side world of the North Zone World Community, not just a planet, our world is very barren, producing neither precious metals nor high-level creatures......"

"Isn't our world producing Mithril Adamantine?" They are all very valuable minerals in magic, how can there be hundreds of tons of each one a year, and the southern principality also relies on this to enter and exit the mage capital, Alain raised his hand suspiciously.

"Production refers to a large amount, and only one million tons per year can be regarded as a large amount." Percy recalled, regretfully, "Our mineral yields are not of high quality, so our kind of world is called a country place in the mage capital. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So? Alain, a redneck, shrugged, the land has no minerals, and this is not something that can be changed by man.

"Father moved the Holy Light North District here to fight Purgatory, and now the purgatory gap has been closed, so the elite of the Holy Light will begin to adjust to other places where it is needed, and the resources of the entire Holy Light North District will no longer be tilted, and the most important thing is that the local forces can no longer hold back to deal with the Holy City. That's why my father brought us up, he didn't want another force to guard against in the west. ”

"No, it's only been a long time. They crossed the river and demolished the bridge too quickly. Alain clenched his knuckles, feeling something missing from under the tips of his teeth, and a little like eating people.

"Of course, in the face of interests, morality must give way, whether it is the southern country, or other intelligent life, this new land is very coveted, purgatory has compressed too much of their living space over the years, we know that the growth of the population is far faster than the growth of food, there is purgatory when the population is consumed, it is not visible, now that purgatory is gone, other conflicts have emerged, and now our question is, how to deal with the current crisis." Percy tapped his fingertips on the place he had chosen, "Many people have come to our territory with food to clear the wasteland. ”

"Aren't they afraid that I'll eat them?" Alan narrowed his eyes slightly, it is true that when His Excellency Bei closed the purgatory, he destroyed many demons, but at that time, his subordinates were all in the main city, protected by the magic circle, and there was not much loss, this kind of problem of touching the territory, Alan could completely capture those people as slaves, and then eat and sell them if he wanted, which was completely reasonable and legal.

"They're just waiting for you to make a move, we're the remnants of Purgatory, and as long as we resist, they'll unite to take care of us."

"Then what to do, it is definitely useless to back down, you also said that in the face of interests, morality will always give in." Alan frowned, "If they are allowed to cultivate it at will, then the population of the territory will soon explode, and if they are allowed to merge with each other, the two of us will have to roll up and get out, and then go back to our father to gnaw at the old man - oh, it's still quite scary to think about." ”

Speaking of this, Alan was suddenly stunned, reacted, and showed a clear smile: "This can't be the reason why you bullied Nick, let his grades fail, you went up early to restore the position of the heir, I can't see that you still have a lot of thoughts." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Am I that kind of person in your eyes? Percy bit his ear, "But this problem is still very tricky, my temporary idea is to help the land reclamation, but the crops planted and the population cultivated must be arranged by us, and all the people's identification certificates will be issued, as for those who want to secretly find trouble, I will organize a special supervision of the manpower to clean them up." ”

"Isn't it, Percy, you still know how to work in intelligence?" Alain's eyes sparkled, and he almost popped out of adoring little stars.

"I know a little bit, after all, I've studied with Uncle Imi for a while, and they are the biggest experts in this business." Percy accepted the adoration of her lover with a reserved attitude, and decided to find some dark pastor to be her assistant after the discussion, and no one was their opponent in terms of brainwashing, hypnosis, mental control, subversion and destruction.

"Actually, I also have a little mention of yì." Alain looked at the land and whispered.

"Tell me about it." Percy pricked up her ears with interest.

"You know that the current settlers are all manor owners, and the serfs who led them here, although the freedmen also have them, but they are a minority after all...... It's not that the freedmen who can't survive will not leave their homeland, we can try to change it - the decree stipulates that the whole north is our estate, and ordinary people can get a piece of land without paying taxes, but this rule is only for families, and if there are more than ten people on the estate, then they must pay full taxes. ”

In this case, it would be difficult for the manor to appear, which would naturally be more conducive to their control of the land, and as for the little agricultural tax, Alain really didn't look down on such ordinary money, he valued the population and labor force more.

"It's not realistic," Percy explained to his lover who had never farmed, "and the heavy plough of the plough requires six oxen to pull it, and the average family can't produce six oxen at all, and the manor model at least allows them to get through the farming time quickly." ”

In order to explain more clearly, he drew a heavy plough pulled by six oxen on paper, and also drew a hard old man who was uncontrollable in his hard work.

"There's no problem with that." Alan reached out and drew a simple plough next to him, "This is called a curved plow, a cow can pull, simple and convenient and not easy to break, with this, you can solve a lot of problems." ”

Percy looked at him in surprise and felt that Alain was really too wise.

Alain accepted it without hesitation, thanking his high school history books and his own memory by the way.

"We can also provide farm tool rental, plant a large number of ordinary alchemy herbs I need, believe me, as long as the cost is reduced to the level that ordinary people can afford, the drug market is promising, although your magic is also very effective, but after all, it is expensive, and the market guarantee of special medicine scares you......"

"Honey, you're amazing! Let me reward you. ”

"I love this reward~"
