After paying homage to Crownpis, just as Melifis expected, Crownpis wanted to go shopping, but it was just a private visit incognito. She specially picked up a set of Alice's uniform from the Goblin Temple.
Crounpis pretended to be the pre-sequence Alice, who usually treated Merriface with respect, and took Merriface out of the Goblin Temple located at the original site of Sophis Cathedral, taking a casual look at a few
See the nuns and priests standing guard or communicating with visitors.
"Merry, I haven't visited the empire for so many years. I feel that the average level of the temple's clergy has dropped a lot?" Cronpis asked casually.
Melphis seemed a little nervous and hurriedly replied: "This... there is nothing we can do. After all, the temple has taken over all the functions of the temple. Many of the work and chores related to infrastructure are more suitable for ordinary humans to do."
"So, what about those monks? They don't seem to be of a high level, but there are a lot of them, and they also have the most basic weapons?"
"Ah, yes, but there is absolutely no waste of resources. They are all doing work in the fire brigade and clinic. Although it is difficult to train as a professional magic caster, the popularity of zero-level magic has also increased."
Merriface immediately answered the answer she had prepared for a long time. Although it was not her duty, she thought that this was probably what it felt like to chat with her superiors.
By the way, the word "fire brigade" naturally comes from time travellers.
"Oh, it has magic power. Are you interested in this?" Crownpis took out a black key and said, "Injecting a small amount of magic power can generate a sword blade. You only need to carry the hilt, which is very convenient. It is not easy to imitate.
It’s difficult.”
"Well, I will discuss it with everyone when we get back." Melphis was also a little interested. Seeing that Crounpis didn't seem to show off the gadget, she took the black key and stuffed it into her collar silently.
As we walked, we left the large square in front of the temple and stepped onto the street.
"Oh, has it been replaced with a stone road?" Stepping on the street that used to be a dirt road more than ten years ago, Crounpis was amazed. The place where the imperial capital used stone roads was originally only a part, but it was still full.
Splicing small pieces of slate together has become so popular now, but still using a large whole piece of slate?
"Yes, this is a huge stone slab that was mined and cut by hiring strong ogres and trolls. All the blessings of Lord Tokraunpisi, if you hadn't conquered all the demihuman areas on the east and west sides of the empire, we would have been
It's difficult for humans to set foot in mountainous areas and build quarries, so it's difficult for us to do this." Melissa clasped her hands together and said with a smile.
"Employment? Is the issue of eating habits not hurtful to feelings?" Crownpis tilted her head. She remembered that although she acknowledged their relationship, she still did not advocate this equal approach to avoid racial conflicts.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you give them a meal of meat, they will be willing to work for half a day and will not attack anyone. Just in time, look--" Merriface pointed to the side of the street--
Just then, an ogre who stood out among the crowd was walking by carrying a bundle of logs. People around him would actively avoid him but there was no sense of fear. Children's laughter could still be heard on the street.
Continuing to move forward, I once again saw a snake and a demon passing by.
"Have you not seen the undead?" Crounpis thought of a question and asked.
"Ah..." Meliphis scratched her head, "There are some problems that really can't be solved, but now the utilization rate of the undead has indeed increased, but they are all working in factories, workshops and farmland, and the undead passing by on the streets appear.
The accident will be difficult to explain."
"Factories, workshops and farmland? What about the ownership of the immortals?"
"It belongs to the magic caster who has the right to control it. The user must pay regular fees to the owner. If the corpse of an empire resident is used, the family members will also be entitled to a share. This will also help promote the empire residents to change their view of the undead." Melly
Faith stated calmly and confidently.
"Oh, that's really good." The last one was really good in Claudius's eyes.
"Are there any negative questions?" Crownpiss asked.
"No, everyone is living very well under the brilliance of Lord Crownpiss." Melphis said in a flattering tone.
"real?"
"Haha, we can guarantee that the people's overall living standards and cultural level have improved. After all, the undead and others have shared some of the mechanical work, so that the gaps in other jobs have been filled. The undead do not need wages and the goblins' medical expenses have been reduced, which allows us to
The finances of the temple and the empire have been able to increase a lot of investment in education funds, so the people's working ability and income generation have also improved. If you must ask about the living standards of some inferior creatures who must exist in the eyes of the people to seek a sense of superiority, then
There's nothing I can do about it," Merriface joked.
"Yeah, that's right. But even if humans and outsiders can live in harmony, doesn't it feel like the mercenaries and adventurers have been robbed of their jobs?" Cronpith questioned sarcastically.
"Haha, there is no problem. Among the mercenaries and adventurers who have lost their jobs, those who can hold temple positions have been brought back to the temple or the state as much as possible. Of course, we have tried our best to prevent these strong humans from flowing into the kingdom and theocracy.
Yes." Meliphis continued to state confidently.
"Really, that's good." Everyone seemed to have done what Crownpis was worried about. She didn't believe that Melphis still dared to lie to her. At most, it was a matter of whether the execution was up to standard.
“So, how about a luxury series that further improves people’s living standards?”
"Luxury goods, huh?" Melphis rolled her eyes, "How could that kind of thing be given to civilians for no reason? But, hehehehe——"
"It's not allowed to tell people off."
"Then, why don't you go to the store that we opened six years ago when we started to implement the 'luxury goods rationing system'?" Melphis gently held Kroenpis's little hand and strode towards the store.
Walk forward, just like you did when you were classmates in the past.
What makes Crownpiss a little confused is that Merriface did not step into the grandly decorated place on the street, but walked into the alley invisibly and got into the inconspicuous small shop - opposite
In the dark corner.
If Crounpis was a ruler in the conventional sense, she would be furious. Fortunately, no matter how strong she was, she was just a goblin.
After some time, a civilian who was dressed in ordinary clothes and fairly neatly entered the shop secretly, like a spy, making people wonder if this was a liaison station.
"Oh, Mr. Hurd." The shopkeeper who was wiping the countertop greeted the man. He seemed to be a regular customer.
"Boss, I want some potatoes and potato flour..." Hurd said, leaning slightly towards the shop owner, "I heard that the potato flour you have here is like that-"
Needless to say, the shop owner understood. The old customer in front of him was preparing to break the laws of the empire secretly...
