() The Kingdom of Saxony, located in the far north, in addition to resisting the plundering of the Og barbarians from the south, the harsh natural environment has caused the frozen soil to be unable to be effectively cultivated. Food has also been a huge problem that has always plagued the Kingdom of Saxony. Every year, Saxony The kingdoms all receive material assistance from various countries, and the Kingdom of Belrama secretly embezzles materials, forcing the Kingdom of Saxony to mine some ores and forest resources for food trade.
The large population loss caused by annual wars, and the backwardness and lack of technology make it impossible for the Kingdom of Saxony, which has a large amount of mineral resources, to effectively mine. The old King Rodland also understands the situation of his country. Not only are neighboring countries coveting the mineral resources of the Kingdom of Saxony, Even the profit-seeking businessmen in Ziyou City are eyeing this. If it weren't for the fact that other countries were afraid of the invasion of the Og barbarians from the south, the Kingdom of Saxony might have already broken out into a competition for resources with its neighboring countries.
"The location covered by the Kingdom of Saxony is very special, and it happens to be an important passage into and out of the Mist Forest." Schneizel's projection said calmly: "My Lord Yalin has two requirements. The first point only requires Saxony. The kingdom has become a barrier, a barrier that prevents mortal mortals from entering the Mist Forest, and in return I can assure you that the annual raids southward by the Og barbarians will forever be a thing of the past.”
Rodlan looked thoughtful, and the Saxon ministers in the room also talked quietly.
"Lord Schneizel! Can you tell me what the ancient god's second request is?"
Schneizel from the projection clock showed an enigmatic smile: "The second point is that the Kingdom of Saxony helps our lord guide the fleeing elves or dwarves into the forest of mist, and our lord will give them shelter! And in return I The food needs of the Kingdom of Saxony can be guaranteed to be consumed throughout the year, and the Kingdom of Saxony can immediately get rid of the embarrassing situation of being restricted by others on food issues. "
A city with a total population of about 7,000 can supply the food consumption of an entire country. This is usually considered to be a fantasy, but Yalin is very confident about it. When playing real-time strategy or strategy games in his previous life, Yalin's habit was always to initially develop the economy in large quantities, especially focusing on food production, making his country strong, expanding territory, suppressing technology, exporting culture, and plundering trade. Yalin prefers to do these things without stopping to build troops and fight, and he never tires of it.
After coming to this different world and getting the summoning system, Yalin made a mistake, which was to use too much soul energy to summon the dragon. It was like building advanced troops at the beginning of the game, only to find that he had no resources to build the most basic ones. Like farmers. In order to make up for the disadvantages in the early stages of development, Yalin can only rely on material energy to quickly build. Compared with the fixed recovery of soul energy every day, the biggest advantage of material energy is that it can directly convert various collected materials into energy. After the construction of lumberyards, farms, and various mines, through statistical comparison, the amount of food produced in the farms is much higher than the consumption of the entire city, and the conversion loss rate is also the lowest.
For this reason, Yalin built a large number of farms and raised the level of each farm to level ten. Farms built using the summoning system can harvest once every three months, and the grain output is so high that it can be harvested in one harvest. It is enough to supply the consumption of two million people. Although more than half of the harvested food is converted into material energy by Yalin, a large part of it is also stored in the newly built warehouses in Ulduar City. These warehouses have 'time eternal'. With the special effect of freezing, as long as non-living creatures are placed in it, it can stay fresh forever. If an agreement can be reached with the Kingdom of Saxony, Yalin can consider continuing to build more farms depending on the situation. Anyway, the city of Ulduar, which is close to the Mist Forest, is most in need of land.
For the Kingdom of Saxony, the two agreements proposed by Schneizel are very tempting. The first one can help the Kingdom of Saxony solve the problem of the Og barbarians once and for all, and the second one can help the Kingdom of Saxony solve the food problem. No longer controlled by others. These two matters have always been the problems that the ancestors of the Kingdom of Saxony most wanted to solve. However, the situation has changed now. The large number of high-priced mineral resources discovered in the Kingdom of Saxony have made neighboring countries look covetously. However, the invasion of the Kingdom of Saxony has led to Og The return of the barbarians to the south of the continent has become a taboo that no country dares to violate. Resisting the invasion of the Og barbarians has become an important opportunity for the Kingdom of Saxony to maintain peace.
"Excuse me, I have a question. The ancient god Yalin is willing to provide protection to the elves and dwarves. Can the ancient god grant this protection to me, the Kingdom of Saxony?" Rodlan asked cautiously and tentatively. Once the Og barbarians do not If they continue to plunder southward, the Kingdom of Saxony will lose its life-saving talisman. Using the power of the gods to resist external invasion has become something that the old king of Rodland has to consider.
The embarrassing dilemma faced by the Og barbarians in the Kingdom of Saxony has been considered by Yalin and Schneizel. Schneizel, who knew what the old king was thinking, said with a confident smile: "His Majesty Yalin has no regard for the struggle for secular power. My interest in granting asylum to elves and dwarves is only because of the 'private' grudges between some gods and His Majesty Yalin. I think Your Majesty the King is not interested in this."
Schneizel's understatement made everyone in the room chatter uneasily.
That’s right! The old King Rodland is indeed not interested, and the entire Kingdom of Saxony is not qualified to be interested. Personal grudges between gods, God knows what a terrible thing it is. The magician Gretel has begun to work hard to recall the gods worshiped by elves or dwarves, and is trying to use this small amount of information to roughly deduce the identity of the ancient god named Yalin.
"I am very clear about the situation facing the Kingdom of Saxony. His Majesty Yalin hopes that the Kingdom of Saxony will become a barrier to prevent mortals from entering the Forest of Mist. Naturally, he does not want the Kingdom of Saxony to fall into war." Schneizel's projection tapped lightly with his fingers. Desktop: "His Majesty Yalin can stop the blizzard near the Mist Forest area in the southern part of the continent. It stops for a while every summer┉┉Your Majesty the King, I think you should understand what I mean."
The old king of Rodlan was enlightened. Not only the old king, but also the hint in Schneizel's words, Duke Maurice and the court mage Gretel knew very well that the ancient god Yalin could use blizzards to block the Og barbarians in the In the far north, and in the southern part of the continent near Bellica Fortress, it is possible to give the illusion that the blizzard has stopped. At that time, the Kingdom of Saxony will only need to cooperate in a fake show of resisting the Og people. Countries in the continent will still think that the snowstorm has stopped. As usual, the Og people took advantage of the blizzard to go south to plunder every year.
Being able to control weather changes regionally, if it could really be done to this extent, even if the ancient god Yalin said that he was not a god, no one would believe it. Gretel showed a wry smile. The ancient god awakened in the Yarnold Mountains. I really don't know whether it brought opportunities or disasters to the Kingdom of Saxony.

In the city of Ulduar, Yalin, Didier and others were sitting aside and watching the negotiations between Schneizel and the Kingdom of Saxony with great interest. It must be said that this kind of verbal negotiation is sometimes better than real swords and guns. The battle is even more exciting, and one has to admire Schneizel's excellent mind and negotiation skills. He is worthy of being the first prime minister of the Holy Britannia Empire in the world of "Lelouch of the Rebellion".
The first face-to-face preliminary negotiation quickly made progress. The old king had already expressed his interest in the first request, but the old king still had to discuss the details with his ministers. The second request made the old king quite embarrassed. The elves, dwarves, orcs and other demihumans in the eastern part of the continent were constantly rioting and fleeing with the support and planning of the western holy capital. This also made Ziyou City This is the thing that slave traders hate the most. If the Kingdom of Saxony intervenes in this matter and guides the fleeing elves and dwarves into the Forest of Mist, it will definitely offend Ziyou City and the Western Holy Capital at the same time. No matter who these two forces are, the Kingdom of Saxony can easily offend now.
guide!
guide!
It just needs guidance rather than direct intervention. If it can be done more secretly, although this request is very risky, it is not impossible. Being able to get the food given by the ancient gods and get rid of the situation of being controlled by others forever may be for the Kingdom of Saxony. This is also something to try.
"Thank you Schneizel for your hard work!"
The first round of negotiations was temporarily over. Old King Rodlan said that he would need to discuss the matter, and the two parties also agreed to continue negotiations after a week. Yalin is very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation. Schneizel took full control of the negotiation process. Next, it depends on what choice the Kingdom of Saxony will make. However, Yalin's diplomatic negotiations are only half-baked. The apprentice could also see that the Kingdom of Saxony did not have many options.
"Your Majesty Yalin! This is what I should do as a minister." Schneizel saluted gracefully. After four hours of long negotiations, he did not show any feeling of fatigue at all. Instead, he seemed to enjoy it. It's like a battle between languages.
"It's really embarrassing. As a king, I can only provide much help to a bystander. It seems that I still have a lot to learn from you, Schneizel." Yalin smiled shyly.
Schneizel said earnestly: "Your Majesty Yalin! This is inevitable. As a god, you naturally cannot expose yourself too much. What a god needs most is an absolute sense of mystery. Facing the unknown mystery Human beings will always be in awe and fear of it, and it is precisely because of fear and awe that absolute obedience can be brought about. So since your Majesty has chosen this path, you only need to give orders, and we, the ministers, will help you complete every step! Order."
Yalin nodded in agreement and said: "I understand Schneizel, mystery is the most effective and simplest way to make humans fearful."
All fears ultimately come from human beings' own hearts, from human beings' fear of unknown things that they cannot understand. In the world where Yalin lived in his previous life, the gods in every mythological system would be vague in description, making it impossible to find out the truth. It is precisely because of these ambiguities that the lofty status of these gods in people's hearts has been established. In addition to the reason why people in this world fear ghosts and gods, there is another reason called fear.
The purpose of gods is to give people a vague concept┉┉┉
Gods just want to appear unreasonable┉┉┉
Gods are meant to make people fear┉┉┉
The gods want to appear to regard all things as ants┉┉┉
Only in this way can the gods make mortals fear and surrender forever. On the contrary, it can only make mortals have the idea of killing gods!
