"Your Excellency Dear Archbishop Mackintosh, it is with great great emotion that I am writing to you, mainly to report on the development of the exemplary leader Minas Ihir, and to receive the support of the Patriarch......"

Feige succeeded the deceased Kipling as the presiding priest of the Icepeak Fortress, which was completely unexpected. The entire Ice Peak Fortress accepted this calmly, and even the rhythm of life did not change. Previously, they received orders from the Holy Body to carry out patrols and destroy monsters, but now they were replaced by Minas Ihir.

And so things get interesting: Feige manages the Icepeak Fortress as the presiding priest, and he also works as the chief advisor to Minas Ishir's territory, and part of the consultant's job is to deal with matters related to the Icepeak Fortress, so Feige manages himself, and the Icepeak Fortress becomes his "territory" in disguise.

A castle with a magical rune array for protection, and the terrain is dangerous and impregnable. As long as Feige doesn't make serious mistakes, such as blaspheming the goddess or serious violations of the teachings, he is the presiding pastor for life. In fact, there is no precedent for such a young presiding priest, but he can be summoned by the goddess to the kingdom of God, and he also captured the internal traitor and degenerate Qitana, and the Holy Body Priest had to make an exception.

"As mentioned above, the development of the territory is going well, and the relationship between the elven inhabitants and the human inhabitants will also improve in the near future, and harmony and prosperity are just around the corner. But at the same time, the situation at the Icecrest Fortress is not optimistic, the lack of maintenance and manpower has been going on for many years, and I pray day and night that the Holy Word Priest will help......"

After the Ice Peak Fortress belonged to Minas Ihir, it was simultaneously transferred from the Holy Body Sect to the Holy Word Sect, after all, the daily affairs of the entire Model Territory were managed by the Holy Word. Unless one or both of the two nations next door, the Principality of Aria and Feinberg, go mad together and decide to attack the Holy Lords and the Exemplars, then the Celestial Body will retake the Exemplars' armed forces and then join the Inquisitors of the Sacred Heart against foreign enemies.

"The Icepeak Fortress raises its own bricks and wood, and will also serve Minas Ihir to get paid for destroying evil monsters to cover the money spent on repairs. We hope that the Nexus will be able to provide the spell materials needed to maintain the rune circle, including holy water, holy ink, and some spell equipment (see attached table)......"

Budgeting for superiors is a must-have skill for every software developer, and a passionate and touching request can greatly increase the success rate.

"Asking the Priest for supplies all the time isn't a long-term solution, so Minas Ishil wants to have his own spell item crafting workshop so that he can share some of the production pressure. Consult the Counsellor to consider the formulation, craftsmanship and artisan's ...... as appropriate"

Feige reckoned that this requirement would be difficult to pass, because there was no historical precedent and the church had always been rigid. The production of spell items, especially spell inks used to draw rune arrays, special additives used to be mixed into metal solutions to enhance the passage of mana, etc., these are things that have always been produced at the cardinal level, could they be placed in a small territory?

However, I don't care if I approve it or not, I will write it down first, what if it happens?" "If you don't write it anyway, you won't approve it, and you won't be tired of writing a few more sentences, right?"

Xia Ni nodded, frowning at the words that Feige had bitten like snakes and reptiles, and then carefully rewrote them in a beautiful and neat font. She had always wondered why Feiqi's runes were so good, but the lingua franca was ...... It can't be said to be unsightly, it can only be said to be a beginner's level.

"My lord, is there a mistake here for thirty liters of spell ink? ”

"That's right, that's it, that's right. Fei Qi glanced at it and said, "I estimate that I will use about twenty liters this time, and even if I save more, I will need fifteen liters, so I have to write thirty liters." ”

Thirty liters of ink is held in a relatively large container, about three barrels, and so many spell inks will basically be used to draw spatial passage circles, connecting mortal worlds, hell and abysses, and establishing tripartite passages, so Feige gave it a simple and understandable name: Three Barrels Circle.

This is by far the largest magic circle Fei Qi has created himself, and its scale has even surpassed the defensive magic circle of the Ice Peak Fortress, and it is close to the Great Prophecy of Divine Vision. Moreover, the Great Prophecy focuses on coverage, and most of its functions are repetitive long-distance communication and mana transmission, while the three-barrel circle does not need to consider these, but instead concentrates protection, traps, and stability as much as possible. Higher rune density and multi-layered structure are the hallmarks of the three-barrel circle.

That's right, Feige was building a circle rune in three dimensions for the first time, and that was the experience he gained from solving the puzzle of the Goddess's Magic Seal. People in this world are accustomed to recording information on flat paper, so the spread of rune knowledge must also eventually fall on the flat surface. They didn't have a spatial mapping tool, nor did they invent the "triple view", so they didn't start exploring the application of rune stacking.

Stacking runes perpendicular to the plane can be a very reliable way to increase the density of runes, and can even be used to construct spell execution structures such as buses, stars, or multi-loop rings to cope with a variety of situations. However, this stacking also makes the rune circle much more difficult to process, since the runes eventually have to be attached to a substance in the form of ink, and this substance, or base, must be made strictly in accordance with the three-dimensional method. Feige is nostalgic for the era of 3D printing, and multi-axis machine tools are also beyond the existence of today's artifacts. However, he only has "hands" at hand to use, and whether it is engraving or molding, it requires exquisite craftsmanship as the foundation. Feige is very self-aware and doesn't have that much craftsmanship, so he only chooses stacked runes as a last resort, or when it is very necessary.

"After the processing level is improved, the stacked runes can exert their full strength. Alas, the difficulty of large-scale integration is not in design, but in manufacturing capacity!"

How can it be possible to make the key parts of the circle by hand without skill. Feige also tried to ask the carpenter in the town of Collingwood to help, but the carpenter was not only good at making all kinds of planks, but also good at making wheels, and the product was very simple. The people of the town want furniture mainly by themselves, or they just give up......

Several of the elves can carve, and their weapon grips and shields are made by themselves. However, the elves' learning ability is indeed worse than that of humans, and Feige told him the three views for a long time, but the elves still said that they could not understand. It's not that they're stupid, it's that elves have a bad habit of understanding new knowledge and always connecting it with what they've learned, just like they have to find ancestors for new knowledge. Only by finding their ancestors, and then smoothing down all the next eight generations, will they think that the new knowledge is correct and have a way to learn. For the new idea that suddenly popped up, the elf lacked a pragmatic mindset of "just use it, whether it's theoretically right or not".

In the end, Fei Qi still had to create the various materials of the three barrels of magic circle by himself, so that the speed could not be fast. Luckily, Minas Ihir wasn't fast-paced overall, and he didn't have that many urgent things to deal with immediately. It's not bad to have a dull life, at least you can polish your work with your heart, at least you can continue to study magic, and at least you can work hard to improve your mana.

Everything is happening in an orderly manner. A second batch of potatoes was planted, including twelve elven farmers, who began to plant on the semi-barren land. Didrite also had her own cleverness, and she sought out the druids among the elves who were particularly fond of nature, and persuaded them to settle down. Eighty percent of the land is used to grow potatoes, and the remaining two percent will see if we can transplant plants from Elven Island.

"And what do they eat?" Feige asked.

"I've hoarded so many potatoes, I have to eat them, right? Now the potato cakes are very delicious, and they are gradually accepted. Didrite handed a piece of golden hard cake to Feige, "Ah, try it." It's shelf-stable and tastes good, and I've set out to get the elves to find a way to make it into the biscuits. ”

Feige also couldn't figure out how Edmond Bear made potato dough into hard cakes, anyway, he was a magical person, and it was not surprising that he could accomplish magical things. The potato hard cake is firm and very tough, and the texture is a bit like a thick pot cake, with a slightly sweet taste. However, the most amazing function of this hard cake is that after soaking in hot water, it can be turned into semi-hard mashed potatoes, which can already be scooped and eaten with a spoon, and the satiety ability is greatly improved. Served with some boiled leaves and minced meat, it's already the best on-the-go meal you can eat in the wild. Not only Didlet, but even Feige is optimistic about its future.

The concept of a "food processing plant" is novel, but the business model is not difficult to understand. In this era, the world is inaccessible, so the carrying and storage of food is always a big problem. Feige wants to build a shelf-stable food workshop with potato crackers as the core, and maybe there will be canned food and something like that in the future. Whether it is kept for his own territory or sold as a commodity to Aria and Feinberg, who are at war, it should still be very marketable. Moreover, Minas Ishil is in the deepest part of the model realm, and he is not afraid of any evil intentions of Aria and Feinberg. Neither of them had the strength or stupidity to attack the Church territory, so Fitch had no fear that they would force himself not to supply the other side of the war.

This is still a plan on paper, and the real implementation will have to wait at least until Minas Ihir's own food problem can be solved. Don't forget, this may also be tasked with migrating the elves, and agriculture must continue to develop.

"Now that we have the second crop of potato cakes, we can start building water conservancy in the winter. Feige suggested to Didlet: "Whoever comes to dredge the waterways, the hash browns are sent by the territory, and the same is true for the construction of roads in the future." We don't have enough money to earn gold and silver coins now, but food is money, and money that can grow from the land is essentially the same. It's good to dig waterways, build reservoirs, and even try to build lakes for fish farming. There is so much snow in the Sunset Mountains in winter, and it all turns into floods and flows directly into the sea in the spring, which is too wasteful. ”

"How should I fix it? You have a plan, right?"

"My lord, I'm the chief advisor, not the chief jack-of-all-trades. I will definitely do the things I know, such as magic and purifying potatoes, and I can't be strong enough for things that I can't, right? Find people from the people, and those elves, it takes a hundred years from birth to adulthood, and in such a long life, you may know something about repairing rivers. ”

"So your main job is to come up with ideas?"

"I can't take your job, can I?" lord. "Feige always finds a way to convince people at this time. "By the way, did the thieves catch it? Last week, when Tron passed by, he said that you were in trouble, and your opponent was very difficult?"

"Yes, it's very difficult, and they're still at large. We spotted them several times, and on one occasion even wounded one of them, but we were unable to catch them. Speaking of which, the last time you called me back, it was the closest we got to our goal. Didlet's brows furrowed, and she shook her head slowly: "How can there be such a cunning enemy? Our only result is that they have not had a chance to commit crimes recently, but it is always a troublesome thing to fail to catch them." ”

"If that's the case, things get weird. Feige scratched his head: "Those guys are so powerful, why should they stay in Minas Ihir? Is there something here that makes them reluctant to leave? Ordinary thieves don't do this, and the opponent we face is likely to have other identities." ”

"You mean the destruction of the Reborn Sect?"

"With this possibility, I think you can ask the Inquisitor of the Sacred Heart to help. If the Monster Hunters, Demon Hunters, and Inquisitors, plus the Paladins, Elven Rangers, and Goddess Priests, are all together unable to deal with those people, then we're going to have to get the angels to come down. ”

"Not really. If an angel could come down to solve the problem, then Minas Ithil would be a shame this time. Didriet thought for a moment: "No, this matter can't be delayed, just ask for help, anyway, it's not the first letter asking for help." Haven't you answered the request you sent to Archbishop Mackintosh?"

"I guess he's having a headache right now, after all, I don't want a lot of things. Didlet, you should also know that Mackintosh takes the elves' prophecies very seriously, so he has been trying to get the elves to come to the continent. So although he is the archbishop of the Church, he is also under pressure from the Church, especially on the human side. So, give him more time!"

"I understand. Although his ears are not pointed, his heart is indeed elf. Of course, first and foremost, the goddess's. ”

Feige looked at Didlet, hesitating to tell her the truth behind Bishop Nathaniel's death. Due to the fact that Archbishop Mackintosh's confessional ritual had failed, and the black hedron walls cut off the message to the heavenly realm, Feige was completely unrestricted by the requirement for the confession priest to keep it secret, and even if he spoke out, he would not be punished by the goddess, but he could not have predicted Didlet's reaction next.

As a paladin, she will definitely not engage in assassination and revenge, but she can go against Mackintosh, such as letting the elves of the territory return to the elven island, completely breaking Mackintosh's elven immigration plan. What kind of ripple effect will occur next is difficult to predict, but it will certainly have an impact on Feige's development. Speaking of which, paladins are more unpredictable than killers in many cases......

"Lord Lord, Archbishop Mackintosh must be trying to help, no matter what. If he makes a mistake or does something wrong, let's be more patient and give him a chance to correct it. Educating and training archbishops sounds interesting!"

"More interesting than educating and cultivating a lord?" Dededrite chuckled, then looked at Feiqi's somewhat embarrassed expression, and said, "Feiqi, do you think that you are particularly smart, so you like to use your twenties-year-old mind to surpass the two-hundred-year-old elves, and prove that you are smart through this method?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Feige neither admitted nor denied, slickly avoiding the question. I have to say that it is quite interesting to educate and raise female elves who are almost ten times the age of oneself, and this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen on Earth. Seeing others accept their new knowledge, and then improve the world around them step by step, so that everyone's life develops in a better direction, can get great satisfaction in the process.

"Alright, you can continue to enjoy the chief consultant, I still have a lot of things to do. Now I have to ask for help to catch the thieves, and I have to dig rivers in the winter...... But one thing you are right, there is no need to build a castle this year, and the development of our territory, at least in the field, is far stronger than other territories. Next year's inspection and evaluation should be able to have a good result......"

"It's really a toss-up to inspect and evaluate. Feige sighed, but he could only reluctantly accept the toss.

"If you get a high score, there will be a reward for the Sect, probably in the form of appropriations or weapons? I can't guess right now. ”

What else can it be, nine times out of ten, it tells you where there are mines in your territory...... Feige had already seen the mystery — or the reward — so he didn't care so much about the rating.

Maybe I couldn't stand the chatter, and just said about the rating reward, the half-dwarf Mom, who had been out for a long time, came back. The sound of his heavy footsteps sounded from the stairs, and the anxiety in his heart could be heard from far away. With a flick of his finger, Feige opened the door early, just as Mohm rushed in.

"Feige! Ah, Lord Lord! Rats! Many, big fat mice! more than ants!"
