The tree elves should be regarded as the strangest group of family members in the new empire—in fact, Sandora and I often forget that they are also a vassal race of the empire, and they belong to the same race as the New Eden Federation and the civilized community. The so-called "senior family members" who directly serve the Imperial High Command, directly carry out the orders of the imperial family, and are qualified to be permanent envoys in Shadow City. What's more rare than any existing family members is that they are still from the old empire. The "ancient blood" that survived the era.
Is this fact fraught with drama
The tree elves were the least qualified vassals in the old empire era, with a short history and mediocre strength. Although they are not afraid of fighting, most of the tree elves are a bit romantic—in fact, they are a gentle species that love life and fraternity. There was only a large-scale battle against the abyss. Such a race was not even qualified to serve as cannon fodder on the front lines in the old empire era, let alone gain a little knowledge of the empire. If it were not for the sudden disaster, Harlan would not have won The choice is to let the tree elves perform the last mission as a family member in a hurry. I'm afraid they won't be able to get into the eyes of the military dictators of the old empire. However, today in history, the tree elves who used to have the most junior qualifications seem to have maybe or maybe...become the old predecessors of all vassal races
This is something I happened to think of when I was chatting with Sandora. The tree elves have become a hot topic between me and her these days. We are all interested in this race that stumbled over. Sandora sighed because she could recall the time of the old empire when she saw them, but I felt very surprised that there was such a strange flower as the green calyx in this race that could make Lilina deflated.
Look at it from Sandora's habitual eyes. Tree elves are not good "children". They are not very warlike and have no military characteristics. Even the disaster tens of thousands of years ago cut their civilization in half, and now the tree elves have no fighting ability at all. However, neither Sandora nor I deny that the tree elves deserve a place in the palace of the empire—they deserve this qualification based on their tens of thousands of years of hard work and perseverance. Moreover, Liliana has actually found the value of the tree elves, a gentle race: diplomacy and public affairs.
The huge war machine of the Xiling Empire has never had similar components. Even the new empire, which appears in the image of salvation, lacks the ability to communicate softly with ordinary races at the grassroots level. There are no qualified diplomats among the Xiling apostles. —Their only negotiating tool is to give you a contract and then tell you with a serious face that your only option is to sign. Although their intentions are good, the Space-Time Management Bureau still receives countless complaint calls every day because of this—the ravens have to find three scorpion provocations per person on average every day to relieve their mental pressure. Their pressure has dropped, but why don't I appease those Sister Scorpions who ran away like a gunpowder keg
it's good now. The tree elves added the whole family to the Space-Time Administration, 2.4 billion civil servants who are friendly and like to travel—Lìlina suggested that I call them Liaison Officers, so let's call them Liaison Officers, these gentle people-friendly races From now on, we will be running in the macro world network, those tasks and orders that require personnel to be present will finally be completed by someone, and correspondingly, perhaps we will liberate 2.4 billion imperial soldiers...
Hmm, I may have miscalculated in a crucial place. There shouldn't be so many. All the races in the macro world don't seem to need so many liaison officers, even if there are several offices in each world.
Before she knew it, it had been more than a month, and the weather in winter was getting colder and colder, and the mercury lamp began to molt—or she felt that she might have to molt. But in fact, the feathers she finds in the room every day are secretly put there by Lilina. I think the rivalry between the two little girls is a good daily entertainment, so I didn't remind Xiaodeng. Now the tree elves have nothing to worry about, and the elves who desperately want a stable new home have taken root on the new oasis star. The star system that was born is still very simple, with only three planets, and only one of them has Satellite, but compared to the old planet fortress whose system is aging and can only enjoy the forest in dreams, it is already a cozy little paradise. The Misaka Biological Society and several other strange associations volunteered to build many ecological domes for the tree elves. When the environment of the new oasis was unstable, these domes were the safest enclosures. The tree elves used their own The way to build a new home: completely independent architectural style, construction technology, and urban planning, these are all done by themselves, except for the necessary food and supplies, we did not send a soldier to help. Sandora said that this is a very important process: a new home built by oneself is several times more meaningful than a god-given colonial ball, especially for a race that has been wandering for tens of thousands of years, building a stable home by oneself is of great significance.
And more tree elves started queuing up to sign up to join the Space-Time Administration. After a complicated review, they will get different levels of "civilian authority" (this is a rule, no matter who the junior staff of the authority are, they only have civil authority. After all, they Many of the things we have to face are the "bottom worlds" that haven't even flown out of the solar system. For those worlds, an ambassador from another world who can mobilize star destroying weapons is too scary, and in most cases, civilian authority is more than enough, because I heard that in the logic of the Xiling Apostles, as long as the mothership is not used, it is considered civilian use: their common people are counted from the imperial soldiers...), these newly appointed imperial envoys have temporarily determined three standard equipment: envoy rights Staff, representing the authority of the empire and the status of ambassadors; several imperial guards (it seems that they do not need to be brought with them in most missions), responsible for security work and so-called "violent missions"; the last is a Bible of the Goddess of Life, representing the special envoy and Goddess followers, with neutrality.
Hmm... a bible taught by the Goddess of Life.
It's like I have this book in my hand now.
In the morning, Lue came to pester Lilina on time, and I got this little book from her. Also by the way. Now Lue has been granted permission to come to the house as a guest at any time, or in other words, we have recognized this tree elf girl as Lilina's personal "assistant", so she can live at home as long as she wants. Therefore, Lilina's life in dire straits had already begun, and the little girl was splashing and rolling about it. Pretend to cry and hang himself. Drinking pesticides, going back to my mother's house, basically tried everything, but still can't change the decision made by me and my sister. My elder sister's starting point is that Lilina, a child with abnormal psychology, urgently needs a normal person like Lue to balance it out, and my starting point is... Lily is infinitely good, and Lilina's shriveled appearance is very funny.
Lue was one of the first tree elves who applied to join the liaison officer team of the Space-Time Administration. When she heard that the team was established under Liliana's suggestion, she immediately acted. At least three points of this soul One of the girls with the imprint of lìlìna is a character with strong action. Under her influence, the three ravens registered by the person in charge of the Space-Time Administration almost went crazy—they were too busy.
Well, let’s continue to talk about this Bible now—after removing the strange watermarks such as “Baidu Wenku” and XX Novels that occasionally appear on it, the editing is actually pretty good. The Bible is very well-written, and the code of conduct set for believers can unconsciously make a person actively regard faith as part of the soul, and there are many convincing and even provocative stories in it: Ding Dong has done a lot All the stupid things were beautified by Lilina into miracles and written in the Bible. The only problem with this book is that. After watching it for a while, I suddenly felt that this was not promoting belief in the Starfield Protoss...
"The goddess is the close friend of King Xiling, so all believers should regard loyalty to the empire as their belief in the goddess."
"At the end of the world, there is a goddess, the Holy Father (I'm glad she didn't write about the Holy Father here), the Goddess shepherds the soul. The Holy Father protects the peace of the believers, so all believers should believe in the Goddess, and they are familiar with the only one who believes in the Goddess who is loyal to the Holy Father The right way. The Holy Father, the Emperor of the Empire..."
"The existence of divine religion lies in the empire. Because the holy father and the goddess are friendly, all the people are also friendly with the goddess, so that there are many believers. Therefore, the goddess has teachings. Those who believe in God must be the people of the holy father, not the sons of the holy father. The people, on the other hand, are barbarians from outside the country, who have no faith or virtue, and cannot join the religion."
These sentences are rare in the entire Bible, but they are all at the end of each chapter, that is to say, the only conclusion that every believer gets after praying according to the prayer is: the empire and the goddess are one, and the belief in the goddess should be The actual action taken is to be loyal to the emperor. The emperor himself is not a god, but the emperor is responsible for accepting allegiance for the goddess. The goddess religion is the internal welfare of the citizens of the empire. Only the people of the empire can believe in the goddess—she completely turns the belief in jingle and allegiance to the empire into one concept!
"I said... why does this Bible look weird?" I raised the little book in my hand and said to Bingtis next to me.
Bingtis is also reading, this imposing female hooligan, in fact, in her free time, she likes quite quiet hobbies: reading, writing, weaving huā rings, and opening people's heads, um, the last one doesn't count, anyway, She was leaning on the balcony chair next to me, looking at her incomparably huge book of gods, laughing foolishly while reading it.
"What are you looking at?" I didn't hear Bingtis's answer, only heard her smirk, and I couldn't help being curious.
"Divine Code" Bingtis raised the tome in his hand, ""The World's Experience in Tusalona", Wannian Magazine."
Fuck, can I ask what the Wannian Magazine means? ! In addition, why is there an entertainment magazine in something as serious as "God's Code"? !
"This is the bible compiled by Lilina?" Bingtis took the little book in my hand and glanced at it, then threw it over indifferently. "She seems to spread the Goddess Cult as part of the private culture of the empire. I already knew."
"As a god of the star field, you don't have any ideas? According to this method of communication, the believers who are finally cultivated don't even know the relationship between Ding Dong and the gods of the star field."
"So what's the matter? This method of preaching must have been approved by the above-these classics have been recorded in the God Realm. The only purpose of recruiting believers is to facilitate work. The star field gods do not need believers to provide themselves with any 'belief' The gods of the star field can't get anything from the mortal world, so under normal circumstances, the priests under the star field gods will point their faith to the management god of the local world when preaching. About the Starfield God Realm, you can mention it or not: it's better not to mention it, and you can save explaining what a Starfield is to low-level believers. Regarding the bibles of Lilina, I can only say that that girl is very kind to you—she has long since discovered that your empire is not suitable for winning people's hearts, so she used another thing to help you tie the people. "
I was suddenly a little dazed. I don't know why Bingtis made such a statement.
"A soldier who is fully armed and can only execute orders and give orders, and a priest who has a smile on his face. He uses favors and hua rings to attract people's hearts. These two people are placed in the pile of civilians who just want to live in peace. Who can have more Affinity?"
"... I seem to understand."
"This is the problem. Your empire can indeed gather amazing power. You have recruited countless armies from many worlds. They serve as 'servants' to fight for you, but these have nothing to do with the common people, but to your empire. **The only ones who are grateful to Dade are those racial leaders, military leaders, and battle heroes. At the very least, they are veterans who survived on the battlefield. Only they can understand the importance of the empire to their own destiny. When they are rescued from the doomsday, they may cheer for a few days, but when everything settles down, what they think about is food, rice, oil and salt. Whoever makes them live comfortably is a good person. As for the battle on the front line—that’s far from them. It’s too far away. So as the leader of the empire, when facing the vassal races, you are actually facing two parts at the same time. One part is your motley militia, whose minds are politicians. Military strategists, great heroes, They like to deal with your soldiers, and the other part is the ordinary people in the ordinary world. They can't touch you, but every move of you and your empire involves their daily life. Their loyalty to you is impossible. Relying on the army to maintain it - you can't let them end the world once a year on average, and then lead the troops to rescue them yourself? After all, the loyalty of ordinary people is still maintained by basic necessities of life. In this regard, the imperial soldiers can't do it, it depends on Liliana Priests: A life priest can do many things. They can make crops grow better, keep children from getting sick, cure colds, coughs and diarrhea, and even deliver babies with dystocia: this is the source of loyalty of the common people. And what Liliana did was to convince them that this kind of grace not only came from the goddess, but also from the emperor."
I was taken aback by what Bingtis said, and then I was completely convinced.
"That child thought of today as early as three years ago. The Apostles of Xiling themselves have no civilian class from top to bottom. You will never be able to rely on their guns to win the allegiance of the small citizens and peasants in the vassal world. These most inconspicuous ordinary people are very important, because all your servants are selected from them. Once these grassroots people lose interest in the empire, your servants are doomed to be available for only one generation, so Liliana Using religion to ensure the dedication of the lowest level civilians to the empire—even making up such things for this purpose.” Speaking of this, Bingtis pointed to the Bible of the Goddess of Life next to it, “The writing is too outrageous.”
After saying this, Bingtis stretched her waist, turned her head and walked towards the room: "I will go back and take a half-afternoon sleep, and call me when the end of the world comes."
I smiled embarrassingly, and my heart was filled with bitterness: How can this female hooligan know so much
Well, by the way, there is also a little touch for Lilina.
"Boss, boss!" At this moment, Lilina's voice suddenly came from behind me. I thought it was a coincidence, so I turned my head to give this girl a long-lost hug. The black shadow stepped on the face, and then Lilina's voice came over slowly, "Boss, dodge quickly... oh, I didn't dodge."
I:"… "
"What the hell was that just now?"
It took me two full seconds to react, and I touched my face in a hurry. Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any dirt left. What was it just now—a black shadow stepped on my face at a high speed. I can't even see clearly! You must know that my eyes can see the super-enhanced bullet trajectory plus 11-chasing 13-titanium alloy eyes. I didn't even see what that black shadow was!
Just remember the momentary touch of tiny paws and furry on your face, it seems like a small animal
"The cat, a black cat, just appeared suddenly."
lìlìna ran over, and I was horrified to find that this girl's head was covered with weeds, and her hair was messed up like Anwena's nest. What happened to this girl? Could it be that Lue finally gave up gentle means and tried to push Liliana, but the Lily couple both lost
"I had a fight with that cat." Lilina lay on the balcony railing and looked out, trying to find the black shadow just now, "Cut, I almost caught it! Xiao Xue, have you seen the cat?"
Lìlina climbed out half of the railing and shouted to the bottom, I leaned over to look, and found my daughter, who was wearing a chicken nest and covered in grass sticks like Lilina, was holding a huge net bag in the courtyard Going around in circles, she raised her head and answered Lilina when she had time: "No, it just passed by in a flash. The prophecy screen is full of flashes. It's so fast. It's not easy to catch it. Hey Dad? Are you on it?"
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked loudly.
Xiaoxue looked around while setting up the awning with her hands and replied: "Catch the cat! A black cat rushed in just now, and Lilina went to pounce on it, and a fight broke out. Now Miss Deng and I are splitting up to surround it."
Catch the cat? The black shadow that ran past just now was really a cat? We thought Liliana was joking. I looked around in bewilderment, but I couldn't find any trace of the black shadow just now. Suddenly, I felt terrified: a cat, one can fight with the Pope of the God of Life, and it can run from under my nose In the past, the cat that even the Prophet's Daughter could not catch for a while!
Is this Nima a cat
At this moment, the mercury lamp suddenly flew down from upstairs and shouted loudly: "Idiot, idiot, cat! The cat is underfoot!"
I was surprised, looked down, and sure enough, I saw the so-called "cat". However...
It was a shadow imprinted on the ground. Yes, only a shadow in the shape of a cat...
