"Sure enough, it's them."

When Yin Eun saw Yingguang, Huijian and Ransom come to his lord's mansion, he thought to himself, 'Sure enough'. Sure enough, it was three of them old acquaintances.

To be honest, Yin En thought that these three would stay in the Xiahui Territory from the beginning, as Huaiguang to observe his own eyes, he was originally prepared, and even the observer position in the Chongling Sect was reserved for them, but in the end, these three people went to the Holy Mountain Headquarters for further study, and only came back two years later.

Actually, it's a fairly normal rhythm. Generally speaking, if an ordinary person takes over the territory, it will definitely take a year or two to establish authority before the next management and stability maintenance and related expansion and development work can be carried out...... In other words, during this time, the clergy are useless, and they will be dissatisfied with each other because of the struggle between clerical power and lordship.

Two years later, when Yin En sat firmly in the position of lord, and then came to accept Huaiguang's help and cooperation, it seemed much more amiable.

But who could have guessed how fast Yoon would progress? In two years, the entire territory has changed dramatically, and it is as incredible as changing a city.

Judging from the surprise on the faces of the three of them, they definitely saw many things beyond their imagination in Xiahui City.

"From now on, I will serve the people in your realm, Lord Earl."

"Let's take care of each other."

Sister Yingguang saluted Yin Eun one by one, and the two paladins also bowed slightly, Yin Eun accepted it calmly, and then led everyone to their seats with a smile.

The feast for the Huaiguang envoys was sumptuous with meats prepared in various ways, fruits and vegetables piled up in high air, butter bread, salads sprinkled with mustard and sweet sauces, and roast chicken wrapped in long leaves in a basket beside it, the juice spilling out of the cracks in the golden skin, giving off a rich fragrance.

Although it is hearty, it is not extravagant, Yin En doesn't like to eat that kind of taste, it may be better, but the price is more than ten times more expensive luxury food, he likes the word 'cost performance' very much.

At the dining table, he told Huaiguang about the natural disasters he had sorted out and the natural disasters he might have encountered.

For example, the 'Grand Duke of Thorin' and the possible 'Void Breed'.

For example, the plague of light in the distant heavens has nothing to do with the 'devil'.

"My brother Mahdi has communicated with Ryushima."

Yin Eun didn't feel the slightest guilt for lying, he said it very smoothly and naturally, not even the slightest fluctuation in his thinking: "The other dragon kings gave an 'maybe' answer, but there is no evidence at the moment. It's just that my prophetic hunch tells me that the plague of light is not a natural disaster, but a disaster that occurs only when someone destroys it. ”

“…… We'll make a determination in that regard. ”

The Archbishop takes this very seriously. She wasn't too tall, so she sat in a booster chair, but it didn't detract from her majesty: "The Holy Mountain has plans to communicate with Grand Duke Thorin, but the demons have something to do with the Scourge of Light...... This possibility is indeed beyond our expectations. ”

"Thank you very much for your advice."

"As a Terra who also lives on this land, it's my job."

Yin Eun said modestly.

In the next banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Yin Eun accurately grasped everyone's personality, constantly raised interesting topics, and kept the atmosphere at a level where everyone was very comfortable.

And in such a pleasant exchange, Yin Eun 'inadvertently' proposed that he had predicted a 'disaster' about the Xiahui Leader.

"I don't think it's a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster. I have many enemies, and each of them has the power to destroy half a city. ”

He said bluntly, "I don't mean that I hope Huaiguang can break his own principles and help me—I mainly want to know if the three priests who will remain in my territory will be able to protect the people from the aftermath of the battle at that time?" ”

"It would be better if we could cooperate with our medical staff to treat the injured."

On the surface, Yin Eun seems to just want Yingguang and others to express their position, but in fact, the content of his inquiry is far more than it seems.

Swearing and Tianyan glanced at each other, Archbishop Tianyan turned his head, and he said solemnly: "Man-made disasters or natural disasters need to be verified. Whatever the outcome, we will inform you that this is an agreement between the Prophets. ”

"As for protecting civilians who have nothing to do with fighting, that's what any person of conscience would do. However, even so, please understand that our clergy do not act as 'Huaiguang Church', but as local residents. ”

"That's enough."

Yoon Eun was very happy with this.

After all, he wasn't really sure if it was an attack from the Flying Flame Lands or the Elves' Pillars, or if it was just some super scourge...... It's not strange to come to this place of Terra, and you can't always think of problems on people.

Huaiguang, who specializes in reviewing natural disasters, is willing to try to judge for him, which can reduce the amount of calculation for him...... The willingness of the clergy to protect the 'healing team' is the greatest good news.

If everything really ends at the worst and the enemy causes great damage to Xiahui City, then the clergy who protect the healing team will find that the healing power of this team is far beyond everyone's imagination.

After that, Yoon's opponents will understand what 'kill first heals' means.

At the end of the feast, Yin En arranged a special accommodation for the envoys—a 40-storey residential building located on the east side of the city, around the commercial street, overlooking Xiahui Lake in the distance and facing Yinfeng.

This is one of Yin En's ideas for a 'residential building', and it is also a test of whether the construction team has the ability to build high-rise buildings.

The test results are very good, with the help of the soil sublimator and the iron man exoskeleton, the construction team is built fast and good, the quality is excellent, and even the interior decoration can be called a high-quality product, which proves that Xia Huiling is now not inferior to the international standard in civil engineering.

However, it has been proved that even the property management of residential buildings is more convenient, the arrangement of water, electricity, energy and various materials is simpler, and even the decoration has been arranged.

But for Xia Hui Lingren, as long as they can live in a single house, even if it is a small and dilapidated house, it is definitely better than living in a building.

After all......

"Adults must be right, I think this kind of building must be very comfortable to live in."

According to a survey of passers-by at the City Hall, almost 99 percent of them agreed that Yoon's residential buildings were so comfortable that they even tried to move in them, but then gave up.

The reason is simple.

"This building is also very tall—isn't it suddenly collapsed when a war starts?"

The pedestrian said bluntly: "Our territory is so good, I don't want to die so early." ”

That's it.

Since then, Yin has given up on replicating the high-rise buildings of Earth or pre-era civilizations in Terra...... Yes, it's stupid, but if the enemy sublimator doesn't have a hole in his head, he will definitely aim at this kind of extremely high-density building and bomb it indiscriminately.

You know, Terra is no better than the earth, and the war machine here doesn't matter what civilian buildings you don't have, it's better to fight civilian buildings, as long as the enemy army hides in the city, then even the city will be razed to the ground.

Reprimand? Jokes, the fight is the Terra World War that is aimed at the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, the bloody battlefield where there is no power of the fifth energy level that does not deserve to exist, who cares about condemnation - even ordinary people themselves don't think there is anything wrong with this, all they have to do is to suppress their sense of existence as much as possible, and then live.

So, since then, Yoon has been immersed in the study of underground settlements and shelter structures.

It was only then that he understood why there were so many 'labyrinths' in pre-era civilizations...... It's not that there are many dungeon mazes, but only the ruins of the dungeon have escaped the disaster of falling from the sky and can become a maze!

Following the staff of the city hall, the Huaiguang envoys settled in the welcome wine named 'Chongling Building', a high-rise building that was "worrying about safety".

Warm room, well decorated, simple but comfortable bedding...... These ordinary details moved this group of Huaiguang people.

"There doesn't seem to be any sign of anyone oppressing anyone in this territory they've built."

The other four clerics who split up with the three-man team were elite clerics from the Imperial Capital Cathedral under the command of the Oath-Archbishop, who traveled throughout Xiahui City in the course of their free movement, observing the operation of the construction site, the interaction between the street managers and the vendors, the patrol guards, and the alchemy workshop.

At the head of the group, a knightly clergyman wearing winged armor said: "The workers at the construction site did not have a 'slave foreman' to whip and reprimand. Even for the simplest of tasks, workers have an 'iron exoskeleton' as a tool, and the site is very strict with safety regulations (by Terra's standards), which is clearly at the forefront of workers' lives. ”

The second report was an old nun, about sixty years old, with a kind face and a serious tone: "The vendors also follow the rules unusually, and there is not even anyone littering in the whole shopping street, everyone will go to the special garbage cans to put the garbage in a proper manner......"

"This is very incredible, I even suspect that it is some kind of psychic brainwashing, but after observation, I found that Xia Hui led people to use the 'artificial soul' technology as in the intelligence, and there is no trace of brainwashing."

The old nun was a psychic who could see through a lot of truth with the green glow in her eyes: "And the managers of the town hall never 'reprimanded'. They just give advice, and the vast majority of vendors follow it. This is not right, because their hearts are obviously filled with the fear of some kind of 'punishment'......"

"We don't know the content of the punishment yet, but even by the harshest standards, the laws of Xia Hui Ling are not evil laws, or even the kindest good laws in the hundreds of cities I have walked."

"Even the people can be regarded as good citizens, but there is not even a single Diao people...... In the past, in this kind of city without Diao people, the lords relied on violent means to forcibly clear it, but Xiahui City did not."

"And that's not all."

A young seafarer said: "Because the leader of the guards of Xia Hui Ling, that Qingchao is also a seafarer, and the guards on the road are also willing to chat with me, I learned from them that although they patrol 24 hours a day, they are divided into three shifts, everyone only needs to work eight hours a day, and only need to work overtime at critical moments, and overtime must be paid." ”

"There must be overtime pay!"

The Sea Warrior emphasized, his tone extremely emotional: "Even we don't necessarily have overtime pay!" ”

"Becoming a Paladin means that you are volunteering for the Church." Archbishop Tianyan opened his eyes at this moment and reminded: "I will work overtime for four hours in the middle of the night every day, and I have not been paid overtime for more than thirty years. ”

"But you have free coffee every night!" "It's not overtime pay, it's bishop welfare."

The position class within Huaiguang obviously does not exist at all.

But there is also a sequence of generations and years.

"Alright."

The sworn archbishop raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.

From the moment he started, a halo of blue light had enveloped the room, preventing all information from being transmitted.

She looked around at everyone present and said, "So, our prophet lord is indeed as rumored to be, to recuperate manpower through technology, and when he gets resources, he uses some of them for ordinary people...... Someone similar but different from Yin Naga II? ”

"That's true."

Archbishop Tianyan had been pondering just now, but now he nodded as if he had fully understood, "The most crucial part of Xiahui City is the Alchemy Park - almost all of the extra wealth they have obtained has been sent there, and there is a steady stream of new technologies and wealth. ”

"The technology is good, Yin En Yinfeng has definitely mastered quite a lot of pre-era civilization technology, even if some parts are not good to use in today's high-source and high-spiritual energy environment, but with his talent comparable to that of a great master, he can definitely improve many new technologies.

"It's true, in my opinion, the technology of today's Xia Hui Leader is only inferior to the relics of the pre-era civilization like the imperial capital, and in another five or six years, I am afraid that there will be another nascent 'Heavenly Capital' or 'Mobile Royal Court' on this land."

Heaven is the main city of the capital of learning, and it is also the origin of its name. The Mobile Court is the mobile capital of the Heavenly Court, a steel fortress that crisscrosses the Great Plains of Terra and is a legacy of the pre-era civilization.

Speaking of this, Archbishop Tianyan paused, and after confirming that everyone was listening, he emphasized: "But the most important thing is this wealth, and Yin En has also distributed it all to all the people. ”

"If a lord does not oppress his people and does not receive wealth from them, then the problem is great. Don't forget, how the last lord of the Xia Hui Domain, Baron Lai'an, treated his people...... He is not oppressive on the surface, and he also gives money to everyone. ”

"What does Tianyan mean......" The knight of the Flying Wing Helmet muttered, "Earl Yinfeng is also using the Lords for experiments?" Indeed, he popularized artificial souls, and it would be strange if he didn't use that to conduct psionic experiments......"

"That's what I suspected at first."

Sister Yingguang coughed, as a party, she naturally had the right to speak: "But it turns out that Yin Eun Yinfeng did not conduct any involuntary experiments - there is a notice at the door of the laboratory to recruit experimenters, and the remuneration is quite attractive." ”

"If someone sells themselves for this money, then we can't say anything, not to mention that the contract of Xia Huiling's laboratory has 'guaranteed the life of the experimenter'."

Sister Dragonman said solemnly, "I don't think Yin En Yinfeng is a villain with a conspiracy like Baron Lai'an. On the contrary, we believe that Earl Yinfeng is indeed 'giving' at present, but this giving is not a free gift, but an 'investment'. ”

He sees his territory as a piece of farmland, which naturally takes time and money, as well as planting and fertilising, not to mention the time it takes to wait for the crops to grow...... If one step goes wrong, the gamble will fail. ”

"But Count Silverpeak dares to bet - he is a prophet, of course he dares to bet, and this is what makes him different from Yin Naga II."

This conclusion is the result of the exchange between Yingguang and Huijian and Ransom Light.

They believe that what Yin Eun is doing now in Xiahui Territory is essentially a big gamble - he is using enough resources to grow up quickly to cultivate the territory in turn, so that the territory can better feed him in the future.

It may last for more than ten years, but as long as he succeeds, ten years later, his power may be able to replace the 'Western Grand Duke' in the southwest of the empire and become the 'Southern Grand Duke' entrenched in the South Ridge.

This may be Yoon's true purpose.

To be honest, from this point of view, it is enough to prove that the quality of the priests of the Huaiguang Church has reached a rather terrifying point - they are keenly aware of everything that is wrong in Xiahui City, and the final conclusion is almost correct.

But it's a pity that the only thing they didn't expect was that Yin Eun's purpose was not the Grand Duke of Nan at all.

His aim is to conquer all of Terra.

Because there are hundreds of millions of mistakes in this place, the next inference is a thousand miles away.

"Then let's write a report like that."

The sworn archbishop could not have thought of this, she nodded slightly, and announced the end of this meeting: "I have to say that this city does give us a different feeling...... I remember the words of Count Yinfeng saying goodbye to us very clearly. ”

"Welcome to Xiahuiling, the birthplace of the new order. You'll be pleasantly surprised. ”

Slowly repeating Yin En's words, the archbishop smiled nonchalantly: "That's true. He is smarter than all those who have tried to go down this path in the past. ”

"Can he change the world?" Archbishop Tianyan asked, and all the other clerics turned their heads to look at the sworn archbishop.

"We don't care."

And the archbishop gave the same answer: "Humanity has chosen Yin Eun Yinfeng...... In that case, we won't care. ”

"Nope."

After thinking for a moment, the archbishop felt that his words might be wrong: "It was Yin Eun Yinfeng who chose the human race. ”

"That's the most important thing the First Knight and the White Folk of Port Harrison have ever done...... They tethered our Earl of Silverpeak...... Let 'he' be willing to be human. ”

"It's Terra's luck."

Meanwhile.

The top of the Xiahui Lord's Mansion.

The 'Earl of Yinfeng', who had long been identified by Huaiguang as 'choosing a human being', condescendingly overlooked his territory, and the silver-blue halo flowed in his eyes, like stars in the sky, staring indifferently.

Yoon Eun needs time. His influence will spread with the expansion of the Cult and the refinement of the Heart of Terra, and the initial alchemy industrial park will be established in the Gorge, where information terminals and a variety of standard parts will be mass-produced.

The artificial intelligence in the Shroud will gradually take over all the mining areas in the mountain people's territory through this mechanical hand, and spread from the Xiahui Territory to the entire 'Silver Peak Territory'.

At the same time, the 'first generation of Kasumi Leaders', who have experienced war, suffering, and despair in this land, are being 'brainwashed' by Yoon's endless information frenzy, through games, radio, newspapers, communications, television, and all kinds of means.

Yes, the human brain does not need to use psionic energy to brainwash at all, it only needs to be infused with enough information for people to become who they want to be.

A person who is loyal to 'happiness and peace', and a person who firmly believes that 'Ginbong Leader is the only light in this world' and 'Yoon Eun Ginbong is the only torch and direction in this world'.

Yoon wasn't lying. He was indeed such a man, and he believed it himself, far more than anyone else.

"Catastrophe...... Raid. I'm starting to understand the Defenders a little bit. ”

Standing alone on the shoulders of the cyclops, his long white hair swaying backwards in the wind, he whispered to himself, revealing an icy smile: "A disaster from the enemy, a defeat with room for counterattack, can unite everyone's hearts like never before, make everyone share the same hatred, and want to eat raw enemy flesh and drink enemy blood." ”

"At that time, after the trial of blood and fire, there will no longer be mountain people from the Empire in the Silver Peak Territory, only the Silver Peak people."

"Do you want it to happen?"

asked himself so, but Yin Eun had already answered.

A: Of course, 'no'.

Axel the Defender is nothing more than a mortal with little ability, a weak man who has no choice but to choose this path. His strength is strong, but his heart is always full of doubts, and he can't believe in his charm or his prestige.

He didn't believe that he was like Yin Naga II in his heyday, and the whole empire would obey his orders, so he had to resort to this tricky, almost sacrificial method.

With the blood and tears of the people and soldiers under his command, he forged the direction of the hearts of the people of the empire.

And Yoon Eun is different.

"I don't have to, I can win."

Closing his eyes, Yoon Eun suppressed his instinctive 'sane' choice, and he began to be a little glad that he had chosen the Fairy Heart...... If it weren't for Fairy Heart, he would have been more and more inclined to choose the 'theoretically optimal' future rather than believe in a 'better future' with a smaller probability.

Because a reasonable person will not make a judgment of 'believing in his own charm and prestige.'

The arrival of the Huaiguang Church envoys was only a prelude.

As time passed, one family after another, one force after another, the envoys either celibate or led the team.

They either scrutinized or looked at the city with curiosity, and then were amazed by the new look that was completely different from any other part of Terra, and began to observe.

Whether it's people or cities, architecture or planning, everything is so new and interesting for the other lords of this land...... Or it's uncomfortable.

Xia Hui Ling gradually became lively.

And the enemy, too, took action at this moment.
