The people of the natural church say that they have no desires and no desires. But in reality, they have been infiltrating the divine power into the royal power. They not only want to capture the faith of human beings, but also want to gain the right to rule human society, so although many countries have adopted a policy of cooperating with the natural church on the one hand, relying on the strength of the church to obtain help, on the other hand, they also prevent the expansion of the power of the church.

However, the natural church rarely directly dismantles the royal power by force, they adopt the method of supporting puppets, or creating religious incidents, and the target is called heresy, conducting religious trials, and realizing the transformation of divine power and royal power.

Hathaway did not stop the various sects from entering the Cordillera Territory...... You must know that the races of the Cordillera are more complex, and the normal residents living in the towns include humans, dwarves, half-elves, barbarians, and half-orcs, and the gods they believe in are different. At the same time, people of different professions may also believe in different gods, and this time, various temples are diverse.

It can be said that the Cordillera collar is where the faith is most complicated, and Hathaway is in order to regulate the ...... In other words, it is to limit the power of the major churches, and many regulations have been made, the most important of which is not to restrict them from recruiting believers, but to control the sale and purchase of land.

In the Cordillera Territory, it is extremely difficult to obtain land, and generally speaking, Hathaway may reward large sums of gold carats, houses (small estates), etc., but rarely divide the territory. Because of this method of separation, sooner or later, the lord will have no land to divide, and even like the current Otiga Empire, the lord has become a big trouble for the royal family.

As a predominantly agricultural country, if you want to gain economic strength, land is one of the important ways, and this way was strangled by Hathaway, so that Ulliman was helpless. This time the invasion of the underground race seems to be a good opportunity.

The ensuing scene is a bit funny, as both men abandon their identities and begin to negotiate as if they were bargaining. The Cordillera needs a priest of the natural church, as well as a large amount of supplies; The Church of Nature wanted to acquire the right to garrison, the right to buy and sell land, high-quality wheat seeds, magic rifles, and the technology of making explosive grenades and tear gas......

What a big appetite!

Hathaway sneered in her heart, she wanted to get help from the Natural Church, but it didn't mean that she had to get help from the church, so she was-for-tat in the negotiations...... The emergence of the new weapons of the Cordillera City Defence Force has attracted a lot of attention. Alchemy was not her exclusive secret method, and although those people did not know the process of crafting weapons such as magic rifles, it did not prevent them from imitating them.

However, to the surprise of many alchemists, the magic guns they designed were either not powerful enough or too expensive...... Don't doubt the magical civilization of this world, in the era when the magical civilization was at its most prosperous thousands of years ago, an army was embarrassed to go to the battlefield if it was not equipped with magic crystal cannons.

At that time, the continent was rich in magical elements and resources. Many magic weapons are effortless to use, and even magicians are mass-produced. As the god of war, the magic crystal cannon is certainly incomparable, but the magic crystal consumed is also quite terrifying, and there are extremely strict requirements for the specifications of the magic crystal.

With the rise and fall of magical civilizations, many magic techniques have been lost, and although all major empires have magic crystal cannons, they are more often intimidating than used...... As soon as the cannon sounds, there are tens of thousands of magic crystals!

Even a powerful empire can't afford to resist the continuous attack of the magic crystal cannon. Therefore, Hathaway's magic rifle is definitely different, she uses methods that no one has thought of before, even with a small amount of crushed magic crystal powder, she can exert a huge amount of energy. So even though many people can understand the principle, it is very difficult to copy it exactly the same. The same is true for exploding bombs, tear gas, and incendiary bombs, and the same incendiary or explosive agent will have different power because it comes from different alchemists. Hathaway's alchemy comes from the oldest elves, and with her way of thinking that is different from this world, how can it be so easy to imitate?

Therefore, even if there was an improved gun model, Hathaway would not have announced the manufacturing technology of the old model, and Ulliman's request would not have been realized. After repeated consultations and almost a day, the two sides finally finalized the details of the cooperation.

The Cordillera Territory set aside a camp for the Knights of the Natural Church, and provided the Church with a quantity of magic rifles and ammunition at a discounted price; In order to support the war between the Cordillera Leader and the underground race, the Natural Church will send two brigades of the Unicorn Knights to the Cordillera Territory, 500 low- and middle-level priests will join the Cordillera City Defense Battle Sequence, and at the same time promote a 20-person escort team to join the Lord's Guard to protect Hathaway's safety, and the Natural Church will mobilize a batch of war materials to provide the Cordillera Leader for free......

Judging from the content of the agreement, it seems that Hathaway took advantage of it, but it is not. All along, the Church of Nature has been trying to get more people into the Cordillera Territory, trying to mentally control the commoners and nobles. Hathaway was afraid that ordinary people would be brainwashed by these cultists, so she imposed many restrictions. However, restrictions alone are not enough, and the truth that blocking is better than unblocking has long been summed up by the ancestors of the Chinese.

The Titan world is a theistic world, and if Hathaway preaches any atheism, she will be burned at the stake by all the gods first...... Even if she could escape, she would probably have to hide in the fairy garden or that demon plane for the rest of her life. As a result, she adopted a pluralistic religious policy to avoid the monopoly of one religion. secondly, in the form of a farm organization, she often emphasized the influence of the lord and the individual on their present life in her daily life, and downplayed the sacrosanct influence of divine power in their minds; Eventually, she set up a school and adopted a base-like training method, although it was to instill faith, but it actually sent God to the altar and implicitly brainwashed those teenagers, and this education method made it impossible for those religions to interfere.

The agreement was negotiated, but to be honest, it was not a happy one, and as soon as Hathaway left, Ulliman's face became gloomy. If it weren't for this special period, he would have wanted to arrest Hathaway or solve it directly.

After pacing around the office, he ordered a copy of the agreement to be sent to Heidelberg as quickly as possible. Sandos called to the office.

"Your Excellency, what do you command?" Carey. Sandos asked respectfully.

"A wartime agreement was just signed with the Marquis of Bell. According to the agreement, the church will send a team of 20 knights to protect her, and I want to send you to this matter, are you willing? Uliman asked.

"I do!" Carey. Sandos replied very firmly.

"Good."

A smile appeared on Ulliman's face: "Your Excellency Santos, after joining Marquis Bell's guard, you must obey her command. However, you have another task. ”

"Your Excellency, what is your mission?"

"I want you to pay attention to her words and actions......" Ulliman's voice gradually lowered, almost a whisper.

……

Hathaway was on her way back to Perseusburg at this time.

It's almost December, the trees are dropping their leaves, the ground is full of fallen leaves, and the horse-drawn carriages pass by the road, driving the fallen leaves around the horses' hooves and wheels.

After leaving the city, the already busy road gradually became quieter, and occasionally you could see some adventurers or a few carriages, and after seeing Hathaway and his party, they all respectfully stepped aside...... In the Cordillera Collar, there are really not many people who don't know the Hathaway family coat of arms.

Although the carriage was moving fast, Hathaway didn't feel the slightest jolt - that's the benefit of the magic carriage. She looked out through the window, the occasional leaf whirling and falling, and in the field beside the road, the wheat that had already set ears was heavy on its head, and there was a green smell in the air...... Hathaway's heart suddenly became a little nervous, if a war broke out in the territory, I don't know how many fields would be destroyed and how many families would be destroyed.

At this moment, Hathaway really wanted to ask God to worship Buddha and not let war break out in the Cordillera Plateau.

Soon, Perseusburg came into view, and the driving horse let out a long neigh, as if it knew that its destination had arrived, and ran more briskly.

On the walls of the castle, there were soldiers on duty, and they all saw Hathaway's carriage coming, and their faces showed happy expressions.

"Your Excellency is back! Your Lord is back! The soldiers hurriedly went down to the city to open the door, and at the same time sent a report inside.

By the time the carriage approached the castle, the gate had already been opened. Will came out with the men and waited.

"Grandpa Bruno, why did you come out in person?" Seeing the old butler greet him at the gate of the castle, Hathaway hurriedly ordered a stop, and then got out of the carriage.

"Hehe, it's too comfortable in this castle to stay, so I ran out with these little monkeys." Bruno. Will said waitingly.

After being promoted to the Golden Warrior, his spirit and spirit also changed greatly, he looked like he was ten years younger, the hair that was already gray on his head had become more black and white, and his waist was straightened.

The two of them walked all the way to the castle, Hathaway inquired about the situation in the castle as she went, and when they came to the bottom of the mage's tower, the old butler took his leave.

"Your Excellency!" A cheerful voice came from the front.

Hathaway turned her head and saw Jessica standing in front of the door, looking at her with joy on her face.

"Jessica, well done!" Seeing the tiredness on the girl's face, Hathaway smiled. R1152
