In Feige's opinion, the elves have very strange ideas. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and every inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood, so to obtain living space is either to pay money or to be prepared to make sacrifices in battle, and there is absolutely no saying a word and forcing your own elf compatriots to do it.

Increasing the population of Minas Ihir is actually a good thing, and there is still a lot of uncultivated land in the territory, which can only be abandoned without manpower. But increasing the population like this is absolutely vicious to the territory. The nobles who came in the previous wave of smuggling, with the pain of the conquest of their homeland, easily gained the sympathy of the local residents. Moreover, in the plan, Feige instructed Eddie to hold an event in the name of the newcomer, using the money of the "smuggling nobles" to buy some joy and integration, so that the situation would be more manageable.

What about the elves? Ready to come empty-handed? Directly changed the population structure of the entire territory at once? Fortunately, everyone knew that there was a good harvest this year, and every household had enough to eat, and the potato dough in the granary was still the most popular attraction to visit. In the event of a shortage of essential survival supplies, the scene will be absolutely ugly.

Feige looked at Dedelet, and could see that she was sad and uncomfortable at all times. He could understand her current mood, but it certainly wouldn't work like this. So Feiqi thought about it for a while, and felt that she still had to cheer up, so he said: "Didlet, you should take the initiative and not become a vassal of Elven Island. You are the lord of Minas Ihir, and the name of this place is yours, and you have to say it!"

"But this lord ......"

"You don't want to be a lord in the first place, you like to be a paladin who fights evil and destroys monsters, you like to help the weak, don't you? You prefer to act on your own rather than command others to do things, let alone be a ruler, don't you have such thoughts?"

Didrite squinted at the ceiling, nodding vigorously, then shaking her head vigorously. "No, Feige, you listen to me. I did think that way before, but then I realized that being a lord can also help people, and that keeping everyone fed is also fighting crime - you were right. It's just recently...... I felt very tired and even a little slack, and then I had problems in prayer, which was very frustrating. ”

"Is it sick?" Feige shook his head. The paladin's training has made them physically strong, and the divine power in them has made it difficult for the sick to get close. "When did it suddenly start like this?"

"It's been more than half a month. Didrite said, "I ...... How do you say good...... Feige, do you know that feeling of suddenly not wanting to do anything, suddenly feeling that life is meaningless, and that everything is in vain? Then, knowing that this negative thought was wrong, I meditated and prayed in my usual way. But I prayed but there was no answer, and my condition did not improve, as if the goddess did not want to pay attention to me. However, my magical abilities are still there, which means that the goddess has not given up on me. I'm trying to find the reason, but no matter how much I pray, it's useless, it's ...... Feiqi, you say, is there something I can't solve that I can't solve in the future, and I can't be a paladin in the future?"

"You can pull it down! How can it be so serious, you are also under a lot of mental pressure, and the troubles of the Elf Island cannot be resolved, resulting in some depression. Think about it, think about it, everything will be fine. ”

"Depression, but why doesn't the Goddess answer my prayers?"

"I guess she's too busy, right? I know she's been busy with a very important matter lately, which is important to the living beings of the entire Yongli Continent. Oh, don't look at me, I don't think it's time to make it public. All I can say is that even the Goddess of Truth Thunder needed to put all her energy into dealing with that. Fei Qi didn't want to reveal the Creator's destruction of the world and the Goddess's intention to stop him, lest it spread and cause panic. "According to my estimate, if the goddess doesn't respond, she must be too busy. Isn't there nothing wrong with your magic skills? If you're feeling depressed and can't lift your spirits, I've got something here that might come in handy. ”

Feige took the "Last Light of Hope" out of his pocket, and in the small transparent crystal bottle, the twinkling silver starlight combined with the soft white halo gave people a comfortable feeling. He put the bottle in Didlet's hand, "This is the little angel of the Holy Light who just took it down from the Goddess Divine Kingdom today, it was given by the Goddess, and it is called 'Light of Hope'. ”

Feige omitted the word "last", mainly because he didn't want to irritate the frustrated elf. The "Last Light of Hope" continued to glow in the elf's palm, and Didlet's eyes gradually lit up. She rubbed her fingers over the bottle and said, "It's too beautiful to put into words, even in Elven language......

"Is that an exaggeration?" Feige tilted his head to look, he had never seen the elf's exclamation on the crystal bottle. "Oh yes, the little angel of the Holy Light went to the Kingdom of God and said that there was a lot of change there. The reconstructed kingdom of God is now busy, and the saints and angels are not idle, which shows that the goddess must be busier. So, I think it's normal to have prayers that go unanswered. The goddess cares about us, and we should also care about the goddess, be considerate and considerate!"

"Is that what the little angels of the Light say? Oh, angels don't lie. But what about my previous emotions?"

"I pondered, it should be the Elven Island's approach that made you uncomfortable, felt hurt, and even felt betrayed. So, you start to wonder if it's the case elsewhere as well. ”

"When you say that, I get the most out of it...... Well, that's exactly how it should be, you're right. Didriet looked at the glowing crystal bottle in her hand and suddenly said, "Hey, how does this thing look like a holy relic in the history of the church? I remember seeing it...... I can't remember the text, but I still remember the illustrations. ”

"It's the holy relic of the church, and then it's dedicated to the goddess, and the goddess just gave it to me again. By the way, do you remember the book that says?"

Didrite shook her head, indicating that she didn't remember. "Feiqi, handing in a holy relic will allow you to earn the title of saint, although this Hope Crystal Vase has already been handed in once, but it is ......"

Feige swished and took the crystal bottle back. "More is better than less, you don't report this to the cardinal, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. Even if the Patriarch admits that this thing is mine, but if I am asked to put it on display somewhere, can I still refuse it? I still have this thing, it is very important! Moreover, saints can go to heaven, right? I have already gone up, so I don't want that reputation. ”

"Okay, I also think that since it was given to you by the goddess, you should dispose of it according to your ideas, and if you don't report it, you won't report it. But every now and then, can you lend me a look? I love that light. With Didrite finished, Feige shoved the crystal bottle into her hand again, much to her delight.

"Didlit, the goddess is busy, and so are the saints in the kingdom of God. When the little angel went up, he also saw Lord Kiplin, who was also in a hurry. I think that even the saints who are supposed to enjoy eternal rest are acting, and we mortals should be taking action. I've always believed that when you get busy and do something meaningful, the worries, the insecurity, and the self-doubt will gradually disappear!"

"You have a point. Back in the day, when I was an apprentice paladin, I was tired and half dead every day, but I never lost or doubted myself. At that time, Mr. Nathaniel gave me a lot of tasks, some of which I didn't really want to do, but ...... Yes, I don't want to do it, but those tasks are beneficial, and I shouldn't pick and choose. ”

Seeing that Didrite was completely perked up, Feige was much more relieved: "Paladins are up for the challenge, but they have never picked the power of the enemy. If you solve a problem, isn't it just a thousand elf immigrants? Accept it, and then find a way to solve it!"

"Hey, hey, you look so excited. Didrite finally smiled, and then said slowly, "Thank you, Feige. ”

"You're welcome, I'm willing to serve you. Feige scratched his head, "Okay, let's start taking on the challenge." A thousand elves is a lot for your territory, so you 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. ”

"Hmm...... Didlet, my first suggestion is how about you appointing Eddie as the treasurer of the realm? she's very good and familiar with the realm. What's more, she's human...... To tell you the truth, I'm a little confused about Elf Island's plan not to pay for it, so it's better to have someone you trust when it comes to money and materials. ”

"Eddie's ability is fine, but she's your subordinate, and you're willing to let her go independent?"

"Everyone is independent, of course I agree. Why, do you think the Hall family is practicing slavery?" Feige shook his head and said with a smile, "If Eddie can take care of the finances and logistics, then we can spare our hands to specialize in the placement of elves." My second suggestion is to set up a special area to house immigrants, whether humans or elves. In it, they have to learn the life skills of Minas Ishir, and if they can't support themselves through work, then they can't leave that area. ”

"I heard you right, this seems like a prison!"

"I'm sure you misheard. Feige explained: "Skill is not pressing, everyone has to have the ability to support themselves. I don't know what life is like on Elven Island, but on the mainland, the natural environment and human environment here form the way of life on the mainland. Minas Ihir is not thriving right now, only farms, villages, forests, and lakes, which also limit some specific skills. For example, the troubadour is not as good here as in the Holy Three Castle, and he certainly doesn't earn much money to support himself. The need for soldiers in the territory is also limited, so what if they can fight again? I'm not saying that their original skills are not good, but in this territory, they really need to have a choice. Besides, if an elf is already farming and fishing, he only needs to make sure he is proficient in the lingua franca and understands the laws of the territory before leaving. ”

"Ah...... Is there a need for some requirements for goddess beliefs?"

"Of course," the paladin thought very thoughtfully, and Feige naturally agreed: "Language, law, faith, and life skills, just focus on these four aspects." In the future, it doesn't matter how many immigrants come, what race they are, they all have to go through it all over again. As long as we don't treat everyone equally, I think we can at least eliminate a lot of misunderstandings and barriers. ”

Didley nodded. After becoming a lord, she gradually understood that elves and humans are kind, but they are always wary of each other. They both think that the other is a "scumbag who likes to stab in the back", and all are "untrustworthy, treacherous and cunning" - this is obviously not true. Perhaps Feige's new approach can do a relief.

In addition to bridging barriers and promoting integration, Feige thinks about a little more. The essential strength of a territory for development is the right education and an environment that can ensure that education can be carried out stably and safely. At present, the church is able to provide enough shelter for Minas Ithil, so Feige can concentrate on growing potatoes and opening a magic school. This transitional area is essentially a larger place to grow potatoes and learn, and the principle is in the same vein. When the magic school can provide enough teachers, can't it add a learning element to the transition zone?

There are so many applications for magic that will change the world, and Feige has always believed that. Magic improves the ability to protect oneself in the first place, which is the most basic and important. On top of this, the gas element rope can be used for building construction, and teleportation can be used for logistics......

More applications means more researchers, which of course helps to create more spell spells. It's like building a tall tower, only if the foundation is strong enough and the body is strong enough to rush higher. Even though Feige no longer has an urgent desire to return home, his expectations for magic have not changed.

The two of them set the general plan for the immigration of the Minas Ihir elves, and many specific plans were slowly considered when they were implemented, and problems were solved when encountered, and they continued to explore and gradually improve. Feige promised not to leave Minas Ithil for the rest of the year - unless Didrite sent him on another mission. So they set out together on the return journey after breakfast with Andrew the next day.

"She's really here to pick up Feige!" Andrew stroked his beard, thinking it was very interesting. The Xia Ni next to Feiqi seems to be quite quiet, and it doesn't hurt if she ends up with Feiqi. But on the other hand, if Didelit, the elven lord of Minas Ihir, is with Feiqi, then things will not be the same. Even Andrew, who is relatively politically dull, can see the significant implications of this incident.

"Shouldn't I tell my father? After all, as Minas Ihir prospered, Didlit's status among the elves will gradually rise, and she will most likely enter the elven council. If it is ...... to make this happen," Andrew thought about it, became more and more determined in his thoughts, and immediately went back to his study to write a letter.

In fact, Feige didn't have such thoughts, he was busy telling stories to Shanny, and he was not idle all the way, and he didn't "harass" Didlett at all. The carriage they used when they came couldn't continue to occupy it in a grand manner when it was next to Didlet, right? It seemed silly to go back empty, so the elven lord could only enter the cart with his mouth pouted, and secretly decided to completely seal the cart after he returned.

"Leave me alone for a while, don't harass me. Didwlett asked for "the last ray of hope" from Feige and put himself in the carriage. Her prayers remained unanswered, but she had no more self-doubt, so her mind was at peace. And when she looks at the "Last Light of Hope", she can always relive the joy and satisfaction of her soul when she was inspired by the goddess to become a paladin, and she can relive the feeling of confidence and hope for the future. With this feeling, I am not afraid of any difficulties ahead.

Several representatives of the Elven Isle Council of Elders were waiting for her reply in Minas Ihir. Originally, Didrite had a great headache when she thought of it, and her heart felt weak for a while, but now she won't. Feige implanted in her the belief that she would win, and inspired her to overcome difficulties. When Didriet is no longer plagued by negativity, she is still the leader of the Paladin.

Immediately after returning to the territory, she went to meet the representatives of the Council of Elders. Elven Island has many old rules, and one of them is that only elves are allowed to participate in the affairs of the council. If it weren't for this, Didriet would definitely take Feige with him to meet those guys.

"Those guys" - Dedewett would never have used that title before. However, as the lord of Minas Ihir, she felt it was her duty to prioritize the interests of Minas Ihir. She felt more and more that Fei Qi was right, when talking about territorial affairs, he should be a lord, and when he was talking about elf affairs, he should be an elf, and he should not be confused. The general policy can be based on feelings, but the specific details need to give priority to interests and reality.

The carriage continued toward Minas Ihir, while Feige swerved slightly, leaving Didlet's party and heading towards the School of Magic, the town of Hidden Treasure. To his delight, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the school, he saw from a distance that the two students were waving each other's arms with rune tracks, and they had already shown the prototype of a complete three-layer track! With the Matrix, you can definitely become a magician, and Feige didn't expect the progress to be so fast!

"The headmaster is here! the headmaster is back!" the students shouted and jumped. Seeing their excited looks, Fei Qi felt very relieved, it seems that he is still very popular!"The principal is back, add food!barbecue!Fried bamboo rat!Aunt Liz, you promised us!"

It turns out that the popular one is the bamboo rat...... Feige saw that they were all cooked, so he didn't care anymore. It's just that he saw a familiar and long-lost figure in the crowd. Goblin Friends wears patched but bells and whistles, and wears a small steel helmet with a giant lizard's head pinned to it. It is severely top-heavy, swaying and staggering when it walks, and must occasionally hold the head of a large lizard with its hand.

Fei Qi greeted him, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, are you okay?"

"Chief, you're neighing too!" the goblin fell backwards as soon as he threw his head back, but his neck was so tough that he actually supported it, and he regained his footing in an exaggerated C-shape. "Chief, I'm here to do the strengthening ritual, I'm going to be a monster hunter!"

"You're done?"

"Of course, Punpun is very powerful! Chief, you see, this is a petrified lizard monster killed by Punpun, Punpeng is going to use it for an enhancement ceremony!" The goblin strained his hands and took off his hat: "Instructor Kailie said that the chief must see the evidence of Punpun's victory before he can take it down!

"Thank you. Feige took the lizard's head with both hands, and his hands sank, and he almost fell. "Why is it so heavy? Looks like you've trained well. ”

"Of course, in the past, friends couldn't beat the petrified lizard!" the goblin jumped and jumped, and the corners of his mouth were about to touch his ears.

Feige grabbed the petrified lizard's head and noticed that something seemed to be dangling inside. He looked closely, and found that the head had been machined and combined with the steel helmet to become a new closed state, which was just right to hold things. He re-separated the lizard's head from the helmet, and found that it contained a full set of the main equipment for the enhancement ritual and the ritual manual!

There was a letter in the booklet, written by Kaellet, and Feige hurriedly opened it. The new content is simple, but it also scares Feige. Not long ago—the day Feige met the Dreadeater—the Icecrest Fortress was attacked. Under the siege of the monster hunters and the heavy blows of the Thunder Rune that guarded the fortress, the monster was mortally injured and fled to the depths of the Sunset Mountains. After four days of hunting, the monster hunters finally wiped out the monster once and for all. However, the Ice Peak Fortress was damaged, and the room for the enhancement ceremony, as well as the ceiling and floor of the entire two floors above it, collapsed, and needed to be repaired for a long time. Therefore, the enhancement ritual of Peng Peng can only let Fei Qi think of a way, after all, only Fei Qi will also use magic runes to call on the power of the goddess to enhance and transform.

"Are the people in the fortress all right? What kind of monster attacked?"

"Peng Peng was not there that day, he was patrolling outside, and he didn't see any monsters. They said it was a reptile with five long snake heads, all of which were different in color, which was very strange. Everyone was slightly injured, but they were fine. If Punk is there, then Pun Pun's helmet will be five heads, not one!"

"It's fine. Feige looked at the lizardhead and the enhancement ritual tools, and sighed, "What's going on lately, it's getting more and more peaceful?"
