The head of the guard squinted his eyes at the young man in front of him, and the emotion in his heart was like a storage in the forest on a snowy night, with countless and indescribable changes—a myriad of feelings.

Snowy night is definitely not a suitable place to live, if there is a way and ability, it will definitely move out of here.

This is the situation since the first grand duke appeared on a snowy night, and it has not changed at all, and the people who have the means and abilities but do not choose to leave?

Except for the Grand Duke of Snow Night, there are only the descendants of their retinue and guards who followed the first Grand Duke back then.

It's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't give up this honor.

After all, from the time they got the 'Pioneer Certificate' to the establishment of the Snow Night Castle, they paid almost two generations of all their efforts - the first Grand Duke of Snow Night, who had the strength of a great wizard, died after only five years in power, and those who followed him died much earlier.

And the second Grand Duke of Snow Night obviously did not have the strength of his father, and he was already dying of old age when he ascended the throne, even if he did his best to serve Snow Night Castle, he was just more than willing to do but not have enough strength, and he also reigned for less than three years, and passed the throne to the third Grand Duke of Snow Night; and died in the same year.

In less than ten years, three Grand Dukes have been replaced.

This would have been inconceivable to the rest of the world, but it was taken for granted on a snowy night - after all, when the first Grand Duke of Snowy Night applied for a 'Permit to Pioneer', no one looked favorably on him or the place he had chosen, and in fact, it was.

But, again, if it's really a good territory. Where else is there anything about the first Snow Night Grand Duke?

Know the way. In the hundred years since the founding of the Wizarding Dynasty. One-half of the entire land of Lorante has its own owner.

As for the rest?

Either the climate and environment are as harsh as a snowy night, or because there are too many fierce beasts, it is not suitable for habitation at all.

Therefore, for anyone's departure, every Grand Duke of Snow Night is saddened, but there is no reason to stop it in the slightest - as a lord, you can't provide a comfortable and safe living environment for the leader, so you can't make the people contribute their obligations.

Rights and Obligations. It's always mutual!

Even if some wizard nobles and lords don't care in their hearts, they still follow it on the surface - because this is the rule set by the first wizard emperor, His Majesty Huel.

No one dared to oppose this.

What's more, every Grand Duke of Snow Night is known for his kindness and kindness, and it is obviously impossible for such a lord to do anything without his heart.

However, it is precisely because of such kindness and kindness. and follow the morality, so that every snowy night Grand Duke by his side. There is no shortage of followers.

Just like this Lord Ike, as the chief of guard of the Grand Duke of Snow Night, his family has served Snow Night for more than five generations, although it cannot be traced back to before the fifth Snow Night Grand Duke, but from the sixth to the current eleventh Snow Night Grand Duke, they are all served by their family.

Therefore, the chief of the guard definitely understands the snowy night, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has seen the thousands of changes in the snowy night - from the lonely inner fort with less than a thousand people, to the current outer fort with complete villages and towns, and the population has reached 50,000, such changes, the captain of the guard's family has participated in it.

Therefore, he understands very well how much each Snow Night Grand Duke has paid.

In fact, each Grand Duke of Snow Night does not live long, and even short-lived compared to their respective strengths, and the reason for this is nothing more than overwork - imagine a person who regularly does not rest for weeks in a row, and all the problems are not so difficult to identify.

The 10th Grand Duke of Snowy Night died at the age of forty, the golden age of a man.

The eleventh Grand Duke of Snow Night succeeded to the throne when he was twelve years old, and began to rule the entire Snow Night Principality at an unbelievably immature age - although sixteen years old in the wizarding dynasty was considered an adult, there was still a four-year gap between the age of twelve and the age of sixteen, and even ...... It's just a kid at all.

However, it is such a child that has not collapsed and separated the Principality of Snow Night, on the contrary, it is still thriving.

Most people think it's a genius and it's recognized.

However, only a few of them, including the chief of the guard, would understand what their Grand Duke had done for the Principality of Snowy Night—reading all the documents all night, seizing all the time to learn everything that could serve the Snowy Night, without any personal time; If it weren't for the fact that he and Hoxha had a hard time to rest.

I'm afraid that their Grand Duke will be the shortest-lived Grand Duke of Snowy Night.

They think that their Grand Duke has done well enough, both in terms of his age and ability, he is already good enough.

But, even so, some gratuitous 'reproaches' always befell their young Grand Duke.

The so-called 'assembly of kings' would every time point the finger at their grand duke, and start to find fault in all aspects.

The chief of the guard knew very well that this was just the Grand Duke's desire to have some fun in the boring life.

But it was precisely because of this that he became even more angry.

Because, for the other party, it's just fun, but for them, it's a real insult!

However, such an insult will certainly not last, because ...... They have an opportunity, or a 'genius', that no other principality can imagine!

As the chief of the guard of the Grand Duke, he had always been cautious in his words and deeds, but he had great respect for the 'Master Joe', and more than once he had praised the 'genius' in public, and all who heard it did not object to it, and they all sang the praises in unison.

Because, this 'Master Qiao' not only selflessly took out his improved potion as a bargaining chip to open up the trade route of Xueye, but also let the initiative of this trade route always be in the hands of Xueye - when he thought of the ugly faces of those merchants when he went to buy grain before the winter came. And the lowly and flattering appearance now.

The head of the guard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. But. Everything that should be there is no one missing!

As a man, he should not hold grudges, but in the face of those hateful merchants, the captain of the guard had a pretty good memory—it only cost them half the price of food to buy food, and they not only had to pay more for it, but they even needed to be treated with all kinds of contempt.

'Oops. It's the poor ghosts of a snowy night again! ’

'Damn, they always show up on time every winter! ’

'I heard that their grand duchess didn't even have a skirt!' ’

……

Every time such words are recalled, the anger in the head of the guard increases a little more.

Therefore, when 'Master Qiao' proposed that if he wanted to buy potions from him, he must obtain 'qualifications', and after defining this 'qualifications' as food, medicinal herbs, etc., the head guard did not hesitate to give a fairly accurate amount - as a snowy night man, the head guard of course knows everything around him better than 'Master Qiao'.

Of course, the deliberations of that day. And that's not all, but there's also an extension from here – for example: how to attract more people with a better environment.

Whether it's a snowy night. In other principalities, population is always the most important.

Therefore, the porter's 'welfare' was put forward in this way - only by letting outsiders see a different side of the snowy night could it be possible to gain more recognition.

And this recognition will undoubtedly be a beautiful beginning.

All those involved in the deliberations were well aware of this, but what everyone did not expect was that the plan that they expected to take a long time to succeed would appear so early—

"What did you say?"

Even after countless battles, at this time, the head of the guard still took a deep breath, eased the excitement in his heart, and asked in as calm his tone as possible.

"Sir, sir, do you accept freedmen here?"

The newcomer of the caravan looked at the big man in front of him and asked again; However, compared to blurting out under the impulse before, this time he came back to his senses, but he became a little trembling - he already regretted his impulsiveness a little, you must know that every big man is very busy, how can he take care of him as a poor boy.

Maybe a whip, right?

The newcomer to the caravan thought with dismay.

"What would you do? If you know any of the following, such as iron, weaving, potion, brewing, etc., you can become a free citizen of Snowy Nights after being reviewed...... However, if you don't know anything, you'll have to serve for six months unpaid in the Snowy Night's militia and participate in the expansion of Snowy Night's Fort next year and the following two summers, the latter of which will be paid. ”

After calming down the excitement in his heart, he returned to his normal chief of guard, and immediately inquired according to the results of that day's deliberations.

It was the result of a consultation between the 'Master Joe' and their Grand Duke, and he and Hoxha had been in the audience for the whole time, and there was not the slightest objection to this—after all, there was no shortage of hunters and some apothecaries in the snowy nights, but there were very few or even almost extinct talents for ironsmithing, weaving, brewing, and so on.

Buying ironware, cloth, and wine is also a big expense for snowy nights.

Therefore, if such talents can be recruited, then Xueye's finances will inevitably be much better.

As for the expansion of Snowy Night Fort?

With more population, there is a need for bigger places, and this is understandable.

"I—I'll brew!"

There was no expected whip, but a series of conditions for check-in, and the newcomer of the caravan was slightly stunned, and immediately said with joy, and even his words became stammering.

"Hmm, brewing? Go to the third house on your left, and if you pass the test, then you are a snowy night! ”

The head of the guard glanced at the young man in front of him, and then pointed to the house in the distance and said, with a little more expectation in his tone - in the icy and snowy climate, alcohol and drinks are a common necessity on snowy nights, even if the bow operator and marksman have an explicit prohibition, they will drink a little.

"What a shame, sir!"

The young men of the caravan saluted, and then ran quickly towards the house.

And about ten minutes later, in that house, there was a round of applause—a round of applause.

Applause when you hear this. The head of the guard couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth - the immigrant population that had exceeded the expected time. And also a young man who can brew.

It's all so wonderful!

The head of the guard let out a long sigh. Then, I couldn't help but shout loudly in my heart: "Praise our great Master Joe!" ”

……

【Power of Faith +1】

Just when the chief guard sincerely praised Ye Qi's pseudonym, a beating appeared in Ye Qi's system bar, which made Ye Qi, who had just completed a potion production, couldn't help but squint.

Expanding his reputation with potions and seeking corresponding benefits for Xue Ye was originally Ye Qi's plan.

However, the power of faith emerged. But Ye Qi was a little surprised.

This kind of power of faith, which is very similar to the power of kingship faith, appeared at the celebration banquet two weeks ago, and this appearance really scared Ye Qi.

Because, once the fluctuation of the power of faith appears, then in this era of gods and demons dancing together, he will definitely be targeted.

However, there was no movement at all after that.

The guessed scenario did not appear, and after several experiments, Ye Qi denied the original guess. More and new speculations have emerged.

The gods could not discover the power of faith in kingship?

Or rather...... You can't find the slightest power of kingship!

The first speculation arises when reminiscent of the original 'Great' Delpa. Soon it was added to the second by Ye Qi.

And everything after that seems to show that his guess is correct.

However, even so, Ye Qi is cautiously 'probing' all the changes around him - since such an irreversible thing has happened, then worrying and being scared is not Ye Qi's approach, what he needs is a more proactive approach, and the exploration of the surrounding magic eyes is the first thing to arrange.

After all, as a participant, he can't change history.

But...... The fall of the gods is true history!

And he doesn't mind repeating that history; However, correspondingly, it is absolutely impossible to start a war on Snow Night and Lorante, and the impact of the immortal level battle is enough to destroy the country.

Since Ye Qi is unwilling to change history, then he needs to choose a battlefield.

Under the premise of not being able to enter the land of the gods' conquest, Ye Qi undoubtedly has only one choice - the Endless Sea!

The vast expanse of the sea is undoubtedly an ideal place for battle.

Once the magic eye notices that something is wrong, Ye Qi will immediately attract the gods that may appear there.

However, from now on, everything is calm.

And after putting aside these worries, the harvest of the power of faith is still very good—from the tenth day onwards, Ye Qi has increased the power of faith by nearly five hundred almost every day.

For the population of a snowy night, that's pretty good.

Ordinary theocratic beliefs are one out of a hundred.

And the belief in kingship is one out of ten.

And Ye Qi is undoubtedly quite special, in most cases he meets the rules of kingship belief - for all this, Ye Qi is summed up in the special specialty [King's Potential].

However, sometimes, it is not explained by the [King's Potential].

Because, as for the ratio of the power of faith to one, he has not heard of it anywhere.

It was as if in the Thousand Swamp District, the occasional occurrence of such exaggerated proportions was enough to make Ye Qi tremble—therefore, he couldn't ask for more advice in the face of his contract companions.

Such a secret is almost the same as the existence of the system.

It all needs Ye Qi to bury himself in the bottom of his heart, and he can't let people know the truth.

"We must enter the land of the gods as soon as possible!"

Ye Qi watched the power of faith increase every day, but his heart became more and more urgent to enter the land of the gods' conquest; After all, it is only in the place where the gods appear at that moment and participate in the war, and he uses the power of faith to transform into existing combat power, so that it will not be noticeable.

After all, if you hide a leaf, the best place to hide it is in the forest.

It's just that Ye Qi knows very well that he still needs time to brew; At the very least, it will only be possible if his potion spreads around and everything in the Principality of Snowy Night is built effectively.

As for now?

Naturally, it is necessary to wait.

It's not just about waiting for the announcement to be broadcast, it's also about waiting for the rewards from the top of the wizarding dynasty.

With the strength he showed to kill that Sea Clan powerhouse, Ye Qi believed that the Wizarding Dynasty would show something - like some of the cats that appeared in the supreme government, they would not appear at all in the Wizarding Dynasty.

After all, powerful wizards really have too many ways to find the truth.

Therefore, as long as you are a clear-headed person, you will never do such a bastard thing.

And just when Ye Qi was thinking about it, a burst of calls rang out-

"Master Joe, Master Joe......"

The Grand Duke of Snowy Night looked at his thoughtful advisor with some helplessness.

After two weeks of getting along, the female archduke accepted the young wizard master more and more, not only because of the other party's strength and outstanding ability, but also because the other party did not hesitate to take out his potion as the cornerstone of the development of the snowy night - for some wizards' broom self-cherishment, or ...... It's a tradition.

The Grand Duchess knows it.

Therefore, for Ye Qi's gratitude, it is obvious.

It's just that for this consultant with the title of 'genius', the female archduke also has quite helplessness, such as: this appearance of being distracted from time to time.

You know, they're in class right now!

As a teacher, the party is distracted, which is absolutely unforgivable if it is placed elsewhere; At worst, the statement will be damaged, or at worst, it will be questioned and ruined.

However, the Grand Duchess would never be embarrassed by an advisor worthy of her gratitude.

"Master Qiao, we're in class!"

Although it will not be embarrassing, but out of kindness, the reminder of the Grand Duchess is still necessary.
