"It's probably been the most I've ever seen you lie," said the Nightingeon, emerging from the mist after Tyro left.

“Who made the comer the high priest of the church,” Roland said, “how can we discern the lies of the other?”

"No, the sight around him has been swallowed up by the stone of God's punishment, and I can only see a cloud of darkness."

Unfortunately, the high priest could not be treated like a nobleman, Roland lamented.He put the two balls on the table, “You say, is this really as magical as they say?”

If you slow the pain, morphine can be done, as for making the soldiers powerful, it sounds like the effect of adrenal hormones, the problem is to extract these two substances to make a pill?The Church has this level of technology that should have conquered the world a long time ago.

Wait...Roland suddenly thought of a possibility, will it be related to magic?

“You can see the magic, can you?”He looked at the Nightingale, “Is there magic in these two balls?”

The Nightinge carefully observed the meeting, "You can't see the magic, but it's a bit like the stone of divine punishment."

“The stone of God’s punishment?”Roland tugged.

"Well," she nodded, "you have also seen the world under the mist, only black and white, but the darkness formed by the black and divine stone, which is more like a void, swallowing the world around it.I don't know how to describe that feeling..." The Nightingeer hesitated, "It's not so much black in the hole, it's nothing in it."

“Nothing?”

"Yes, nothingness," she nodded, "and the two balls are also marked with nothingness, but they are very subtle, and . . . not round, but like a black filaments flowing."

“Can these things affect your ability?”

The Nightinge caught the pellets, unfolded the fog, and quickly withdrew again, "which seemed to have no effect."

"It seems necessary to find a death row prisoner to try these two pills to try the effect," Roland carefully wrapped the pills in paper and put them in his arms.

"I didn't expect the church to look after you so much," the Nightinge said, sitting back at the prince's side.

“If the high priest had not worn the stone of divine punishment, I would bet nine out of ten words were a lie.”Roland skized, “The most important thing is that what they do and what they ask for is not right at all.”

“Why?”

“Look at what they want: more churches, more believers, a prince or king who has supported himself, and henceforth the divinely authorized propaganda of the king’s power.”A stable country is more conducive to them to develop believers and develop forces.Otherwise, in the event of war, churches and monasteries will be the target of looting by refugees and nobles.”

“But aren’t they just looking at you to bring a safe life to the people?”

"No," Roland shook his head, "stability comes from unity or balance, and even if the king eats and drinks every day, the people of the united country are better off than the refugees in the war."So it is not surprising that they supported the two princes, and it is not surprising that they supported the three princesses, and it is strange to come to support me, especially in the great victory of Jiaxia."

At this time, if the church fully supports Jiaxia, I am afraid that the Wangdu and the eastern front will be swallowed by her for less than half a year.By then, 70 percent of the land in the kingdom of Greyhead will be in the hands of the Queen of the Bizerba, and Roland thought that the pressure he faced would also increase significantly.Instead of helping the strong, choose the one who seems the weakest at the moment, it seems that the church’s decision is in its favor.However, assuming that they accept their support, the situation of the two kings of the gray castle will become more chaotic, and the direct result of the staged foreign version of the three countries is to make the population greatly reduced sharply, the rapid loss of wealth, the war spread to the whole country, and the unified date is delayed again and again.

What good is this for the church?Not to mention the expansion of believers, lest the churches built everywhere will be demolished.

"I don't understand your nobles' ideas, always bend around," sighed the Nightingeon.

"Well," said Roland, laughing, "except me."

“...” The witch narrowed her eyes and glared at the prince for a long time, “strange, why is this sentence true?”

Three days later, Roland finally emptied the castle and fortress library and returned to the town.

By the time the Redwater River approached the border town, the scene on both sides of the river had changed, and the open space burned by Anna across the town was busy, and many people were busy looking at the dress, and they should be the serfs that were shipped to the town first.On this side of the desperate mountains, many simple wooden sheds have been set up, and there are hidden activities in the wooden shed, and Roland speculates that those people are the families of the serfs.

These people were tied to the land for generations, and the children born were also serfs, and most of them lived a numb life because they could not see hope, and the tendency for them to work was not from the heart, but the whip and sleeves in the hands of the slaveholders.Low productivity is a great waste of human resources.

There is no doubt that slavery is the enemy of industrial production and belongs to a system that must be abolished.But Roland did not intend to turn them all into free people with a wave of his hand, but to provide a channel for them to see the hope of being promoted to free people because there is a precedent for the master to let the slaves out of slavery, and this compromise, even if it is transmitted, will not have much impact, and at best let other nobles feel that they are just a bad person.

When the time is ripe in the future, he will fully implement the abolition law, and the resistance will be much less.

The pier was packed with sailing boats, and it was clear that the tiny pier could no longer bear the pressure of such heavy transport.Fortunately, the small town number is shallow, and there is no need to land directly.It seems that the expansion of the dock also needs to be listed on the schedule, Roland thought.

When the men returned to the castle, he could not take a rest, and when he returned to the office, he immediately called Barov and asked him to report on the receiving of the supplies.

And the assistant minister was ready, drawing a roll of parchment from his pocket and spreading it on the big wooden table.

"Your Highness, what you brought back to the castle these days really frightened me," said that, the folds that spilled on his face had betrayed his mood, "and twelve apprentices to tossed them for a night, and counted all kinds of coins, a total of more than fourteen thousand golden dragons!"This is equivalent to the income of an ordinary town for a year!”

The Duke had probably spent more than twenty years, Roland thought, from the search, plundering and exploitation of the people of the West.Turn them into food, steel, and machines as soon as possible.“What about the gems, jewelry and handicrafts?”

"It's not time to calculate, but the conservative estimate is also about 10,000 golden dragons, if sent to the king to the auction, the price will be higher."Now they are all stored in the basement of your castle," Barovton said, "but in this case the room used to store food is not enough, and I suggest that you expand the castle area and add a warehouse to store other supplies."(Not yet completed.If you like this work, you are welcome to start the project, your support is my biggest motivation.
