North of Orchid Garden, Crescent City.

From Lanting to Saishang, there is a vast grassland, and after the grassland, there is the Gobi and the endless snow field. Crescent City is further north than the original location of Oasis City, which is the end of the Gobi. It is divided into grasslands and hills from Lanting City, and Crescent City is surrounded by the Gobi on one side and snowfields on the back.

Fortunately, although it has been out of the imperial territory and is the far north of the Lanhe Empire, it is not the far north of this world, and the god of love still allows the hope of human continuation to exist here.

Crescent City is built next to Crescent Valley, and standing on the valley, you can see the endless Gobi and the snow-white snowfield behind it. Xu Lingling stood beside the newly built temple on the valley and continued to chant the rules of the gods.

The choice to build the city here in the first place means that the new Holy Church no longer has the intention of coming to the world, and Xu Lingling does not want to become a person like the Pope and bring ruin and death to the world.

Xu Lingling has gone farther and more upright than the Pope in Shinto, she is a saint who serves the gods wholeheartedly, a pious preacher, and a guardian of Shinto in the world. Her divine power has easily surpassed that of the Pope back then, and now Crescent City is like a divine land under the blessing of her divine power.

Any crops can be grown in the valley, and it is completely unaffected by the harsh climate of the Gobi, and the melting snow water from the snow fields can also meet the daily needs of the believers. Coupled with Zhao Fu's support, many materials that are difficult to produce in Crescent City can be completely supplied, and although the current Crescent City is sparsely populated, the sacred and peaceful meaning in it is not inferior to the Oasis City when it was at its peak.

All thanks to that temple built over the valley.

"Holy Maiden, the news from Lan Ting's side has come." A nun, also dressed in white robes, stood outside the temple and spoke inside.

This temple is the most central part of the entire Crescent City, and it is also the supreme temple of the Neo-Holy Religion. After Xu Lingling heard this, with a wave of her hand, the snow-white runes that bloomed around her returned to the stone wall of the temple, and the stone temple dimmed.

Xu Lingling came out of the temple, just like an ordinary good-looking girl.

"How?" Xu Lingling asked with some expectation.

"That's good news." The nun replied.

Xie Xiyan also temporarily lived in Lanting City after learning that the vast empire was torn apart, and he knew that now was also an opportunity for the New Holy Sect. Although the New Church was no longer able to interfere with the secular world under the leadership of Xu Lingling, and a large number of Templars were curtailed, salvation remained an important slogan and creed of the New Holy Church. Xie Xiyan knew that Xu Lingling would not abandon these displaced people, and that a large part of these millions of refugees would become the most solid followers of the New Holy Sect.

This is a major event related to the development of the New Holy Sect, although he is the messenger of the New Holy Sect, but the original purpose is only to ask Zhao Fu for some manpower to speed up the construction of the New Holy Sect, these people do not matter whether they are condemned prisoners or beggars, as long as they are laborers, the New Holy Sect is very welcome.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fu happened to accept a large number of refugees here, this number was far higher than the most optimistic estimate of Xie Xiyan and others, and Xie Xiyan had no way to make a decision immediately about this kind of thing, so he could only send the news back to Crescent City and let Xu Lingling decide.

The nun respectfully handed over Xie Xiyan's letter, and after Xu Lingling read it, she asked, "Holy woman, how should you reply?" ”

Xu Lingling frowned, as if she was distressed by this matter, and then she smiled: "I'll go to Lanting in person." ”

Within two days, Xu Lingling's car arrived at Lanting, much faster than Xie Xiyan expected. This was also thanks to Xu Lingling's superb divine power, and the time it took to travel thousands of miles under her divine power blessed horses was greatly shortened.

"You're here." Zhao Fu hosted a banquet in the town guard mansion to receive Xu Lingling.

"I've seen the Holy Maiden." Xie Xiyan made a knightly salute on the side.

"The resettlement of refugees is a big deal, and we have to take it seriously." Xu Lingling went straight to the point.

"How many people can you accept over there?" Zhao Fu didn't hate Xu Lingling's attitude, he asked.

Xu Lingling shook his head and said: "The number of people is not a problem, the Gobi is very large, and the grassland is also very wide, even if you relocate the people of the entire Lanhe Empire, it will not be a problem." ”

"So what do you think is the problem?" Zhao Fu asked.

"The hearts of the people." Xu Lingling pointed out that the problem is the most critical. These refugees were not followers of the Protestant Holy Religion, but were to migrate to the depths of the Gobi, not the former territory of the Lanhe Empire. The reason why the refugees are willing to take refuge in the northwest is inseparable from the strong military strength that Zhao Fu currently has in the northwest, but the most important point is that this is still the territory of the Lanhe Empire.

Yes, Lin Haoyan wantonly divided the feudal capital before his death, and even the imperial capital was sealed out (but the feudal king who was sealed in the imperial capital quickly returned the imperial capital to Lin Sixing), but only the northwest did not move a bit, so in terms of reputation, the northwest under the jurisdiction of Zhao Fu is the most orthodox inheritance of the Lanhe Empire. Of course, after Lin Sixing ascended to the throne, because of his Lin royal bloodline, the imperial capital was still the political and economic center of the people of the Lanhe Empire, but it was still difficult to hide that the northwest was one of the orthodoxy of the Lanhe Empire in the eyes of the people.

The current situation is that the Zhao family is a great rebellion, and the imperial capital Lin Sixing continues the name of the Lanhe Empire with the blood of the Lin royal family, while Zhao Fu, who sits in the northwest, still insists on calling the northwest the northwest jurisdiction of the Lanhe Empire. Zhao Fu was neither independent nor opposed to the movement of people, and openly accepted refugees in such a time of war.

Of course, the eyes of the people cannot be bright, but at this moment, even the blind can see who cares about them. For a while, Zhao Fu's prestige reached a peak again, and even Lin Haoyan's reputation became better, and many people began to miss the stable life and low taxes during Lin Haoyan's reign.

Therefore, if these refugees are forcibly relocated to the Gobi, let alone the Gobi, I am afraid that something will happen before Lanting reaches the grassland. These people took refuge in the northwest jurisdiction of the Lanhe Empire, not to eat sand on the Gobi.

"Indeed...... So what to do? Zhao Fu nodded, what Xu Lingling said was not unreasonable, although he knew that the current Crescent City was indeed not inferior to any city in the Lanhe Empire, and it was definitely a holy place on earth, but he couldn't convince millions of refugees to believe it.

"That's why I'm here." Xu Lingling smiled, she patted her chest and said, "Just leave this kind of thing to me!" ”

Zhao Fu looked at the confident Xu Lingling, and an inexplicable sense of trust came to his heart, and he nodded and agreed.
