Regarding Orlando's advice on how to govern the territory, Link gave him an idea - a staff member. Let Orlando recruit talented people from the public, post notices, and send them all over the country. Anyone who is willing can go to the capital Woran to attend an interview personally hosted by the Duke. It is not limited to men, women, young, and seniority. Curious boring people and bad-hearted destroyers are not allowed. The offender confiscates half a year's income punishment.

After the announcement was posted, many people came to take the exam. Among them, Orlando really found that there were some capable people. They were either scholars who were not talented or had worked under other nobles. Unfortunately, in today's world, few nobles have the ruling and willingness to let them show their skills.

After the invasion of the undead, the various princes, whose population had already decreased sharply, were more and more people abandoned their trap in their barren and hopeless hometowns because of the construction and effectiveness of the natural sect. The nobles who approached Esson and Kabaire were both shocked and angry about the loss of civilians. In the past, the large outflow of population was nothing more than natural disasters, but now it was completely absent. If it weren't for the long journey and the waiting and watching mentality, the refugees of several other princes also went to Krenberg. In addition to resenting the son of nature who caused such a result, some nobles also hated the initiator of the incident, believing that if it weren't for the overestimating Princess Falani, they would not have been unlucky.

On the issue of whether to accept refugees who had a criminal history, Orlando finally took the voting method. As the lord, he, the great priest of the Order camp, the representative of the Wood Elf, Bradley, who stayed in Worland, the son of nature in the neutral camp, and the nobles in the city, held a brief meeting.

Orlando's view is to absorb it first. It is not necessary for human traffickers to keep them out just because many of these people have been robbers, so that it will not benefit Krenberg or the natural sect.

The great priest was consistent with his views and agreed to accept refugees. Even if we put aside the Yingfeng Mountain where the wood elves were located, the remaining territory was still the largest among all the princes and the lords, and there was enough land to be distributed to them. The more people the more likely they would win when fighting against other princes and the undead.

Even the lord and the great priest agreed, and Bradley naturally would not object. Anyway, the activity range of the wood elves is limited to Eagle Peak Mountain and rarely goes out. In addition, many people believe in the natural sect and no longer over-deforesting as in the past. As long as humans do not take over, the two species will basically not have any conflict of interest.

Link didn't say anything, but he still resisted accepting the traitor in his heart, so he chose to abstain from the power.

This was far beyond everyone's expectations, including the nobles of the walk-through form, who thought he would choose to agree.

"Why?" Orlando asked.

"I don't trust them. Yesterday they would betray your fellow countrymen for themselves. Tomorrow they would betray you and Krenberg for themselves."

"You are mentally clean. Since you are willing to give Half Demon the opportunity to choose, why not give these people the opportunity to reform? In terms of the degree of danger and the intensity of the harm, Doyle alone is higher than all refugees. Why should he be so strict with homelessness and forced to do so?"

Faced with Orlando's accusations, Link admitted frankly that he was sometimes very emotional and deeply influenced by his growth experience. He was unbearable for his malicious behavior.

Alicina was silent. There were not many people willing to accept criticism from others. Not to mention generously admitting that she was wrong. The longer she spent time together, the more doubts he had about Link. What kind of environment could cultivate people like him?

Finally, Link voted again, and the nobles nodded when they saw the person in charge. There was no need for them to persist.

Fortunately, many cities were completely cleared by the dead, and there were enough places to accommodate refugees. Link pulled out some wind elements from the guardian land, and asked them to protect the temple built on the top of the Wolan Mountain City instead of the Wind Falcon, and dispatched the Wind Falcon Druids to other cities. Taking Wolan as a model, the construction of a new temple was not as effective as Wolan, but the corrosion of the corroded land. In this way, Link was not worried about not enough believers, but the lack of manpower. After all, the number of druids was limited, and even if one city was a single city, it was not enough to divide it.

After discussing with Kelly, Link decided to select relatively pious and reliable humans from the believers and let them take charge of related matters. The druids went to and inspected the temples, just like the temple of the past.

After breaking through the seal under the priest, Doyle's camp has been transformed into chaos. Even if Chenxi personally gives the seal, she will not be able to change back. What's more, Chenxi is a strict god, and will never allow rebellion, nor will she accept fallen believers. It can be said that from the moment the seal was broken, she was no longer the knight of Chenxi.

Losing the protection of divine power, Doyle only has pure hand-to-hand combat skills. When Link was busy building the first temple and rules of the Natural Sect, she did not want to be a burden and changed her warrior route and practiced hard every day. Link, who did not like close combat, always tried to avoid practicing as much as possible in his busy official duties. Without a suitable practice target, Doyle took the idea to the mercenaries and druids. Even the soldiers stationed near the mountain city were not spared, and she had challenged them as practice targets.

Alicina, who saw all this, found Link, who was thinking hard for the precepts specially set by believers.

Link was quite surprised by the appearance of Alicina. Since announcing that it would build a sect dedicated to the Four Pillar Gods, Alicina has begun to avoid suspicion and minimize the chance of meeting. If it weren't for anything important, she wouldn't have gone there in person.

"Is it convenient now? I want to talk to you."

There is also a druid in the room who helps organize the manuscripts. Link said that it is OK at any time. Are you planning to talk here and find another secluded place?

"Just here, it's not a secret that can't be told." Alicina sat on the chair opposite Link, "I want to talk to you about Doyle."

"What's wrong with her?" Because of the same consciousness, Link didn't want to think too much about her in his mind, so as not to worry Doyle.

"Did you pay attention to her current situation?"

Alicina's words made Link alert. What's going on?

"Nothing is wrong, I think she's very energetic."

"Now she is like a helpless orphan, with no close relatives or friends. Since you have taken the responsibility of guarding the seal, you must take good care of her."

Link was stunned. Doyle is so old and has grown up. I don’t need my care in life anymore, right?

Alicina sighed. After all, she was a man, and she was careless in this regard. "I want you to communicate more with her and enhance your feelings. Being in love with family can reduce the risk of her being possessed again."

Link then suddenly realized that the great priest of love wants me to play the role of "father". Am I that old? Both of them say this. Besides, Doyle is already past the best age for the stepfather and adopted daughter to cultivate feelings. In addition, she is arrogant, even if I am willing to try, what if she refuses to accept it? Besides, he doesn't even count his nominal father. After all, there is a difference between men and women. Too close to each other can easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

When he heard Link's idea, Alicina suggested that Doyle could no longer integrate into the Doyle family, so he might as well make a formal adoption to satisfy everyone's hearts and avoid rumors. The child has always longed for a real father.

Link was even more depressed when he heard this. This was not the first time he had heard such suggestions. It seemed that I would not get married and have children. I had to adopt them quickly so that no one would take care of my old age and strength in the future.

Alicina seemed a little surprised. "Why, do you have a partner you like? Are you planning to get married and have children? I have never heard of a natural son doing this before leaving office."

Link is really guilty and can't explain it clearly. He didn't mean that at all, right? But adoption can be considered. After all, he personally agreed to treat Doyle as a relative.

"Then let's just say that."

Alicina got up and walked out. Link was shocked. When did I agree? Hey!

As a result, the great priest found Orlando in the afternoon and said that he was a witness of the formal adoption.

As soon as he saw Link, Orlando, who had changed his original name, laughed, "You finally figured it out."

He had a calm face. Link didn't know what was better. Why do these people like to talk to themselves so much?

"If she is really a boy, I don't care. Are you walking around with such a young woman of marriageable age? " Orlando picked up the pen on Link's table and wrote it in a blank parchment.

Link leaned over and saw that it was a formal document that agreed to adoption. Orlando, who had received his eyes rolled, explained: "Even if he was no longer qualified to inherit, Doyle is a member of the Doyle family, and he must have the consent of the head of the family to adopt it."

"Tell me! Have you colluded in private?" Link didn't believe it was a temporary idea. Orlando, who was grabbed by clothes, pointed to the door and shouted, "She's here."

Taking advantage of the gap between their words, the great priest called Doyle again.

When Doyle, who was sweating profusely, he thought there was something important when he saw this scene, but he was caught off guard and heard Alicina say that she would be officially adopted as her adopted daughter.

Doyle's eyes swept towards Link. She didn't say anything, but her slightly nervous expression revealed her feelings.

When talking to the great priest in the morning, Link tried to minimize his mental activities. Doyle, who was busy with training, did not realize that the occasional thought that Link had appeared was to target himself.

He was uncomfortable being stared at Doyle's eyes, knowing that turning his head or looking away at this time would destroy the trust he had finally cultivated. Link nodded, "I didn't plan to be so formal, but Orlando said that it was not appropriate to bring a woman with a marriage right by his side. What do you mean? If you don't want to, just pretend that this matter has not been mentioned."

Doyle lowered her eyes and said nothing. Link immediately glared at Orlando. The great priest had just reached out and had no time to say the words of persuasion. Doyle nodded and agreed like a mosquito.

It's too late to regret it now. A daughter who is about the same height and age as hers! Link is extremely depressed. Should he adjust his appearance to make himself look older?

When everyone, including the druid, burst into laughter when they heard his self-talk.

Alicina also explained to Link that most magicians will use spells to delay appearance aging. It is quite common for parents and children to look at the same age. Only rural people and farmers who have never seen the world will make a fuss.

The adoption agreement drafted by Orlando was included in the archives of the Doyle family and the Morning Sect, and the last one was kept by Link himself. The official adoption just came to an end, and the servants came to report that it was Vaulet's messenger again, but they still indicated that they were looking for Link, the son of nature.

Orlando, who was also busy with official duties, left on the excuse. Alicena also followed her.

Link took the messenger's message stone, held down the communicable rune and connected to Sevis, who was far away in Vaulet.

"What's wrong this time?" Because of his mood, his tone was not very good.

As soon as Sevis opened his mouth, he asked Link to help him. After the Mirror Hall meeting, some of the refugees who had decided to settle in the new city had all gone to Krenberg, which was safer than Waolet's entry threshold. The Eastern Corps, protected by the son of nature, was safer. The dwarf has not come back yet, and he is almost a joke to the nobles.

Link had known that what he said in the Hall of Mirrors would cause civilians who were not guaranteed to migrate to Krenberg. Waolet was so close to the East Territory, so it was certain that someone would run away. However, Serves was Link's first human ally, and he did not want the alliance plan he had formulated himself to fail. In addition, the geographical location and itself of Waolet City were of great value, so he could not just give up.

"I will rush over as soon as possible."

Link's promise slightly calmed Thavis. Doyle glanced at the druids staring at him around and asked in his consciousness, [What should I do about the mission here? The sect has just been newly established and the system has not yet been improved. Kelly is not good at communicating with people. These druids who are biased against humanity alone are obviously not good.]

[I can't stay here all the time. No matter how much I hate humans, the druid will not do anything too outrageous to humans. Besides, Orlando is here. He is a half-elf and learns piano with the Wood Elf King. Even if he has been completely transformed into a human, the druid will still sell him some face.]

Link told the dinner that he was about to go to Waolet. Kyriel, who thought it would be the biggest obstacle, did not object, which more or less surprised Link.

"Is Earl Siniel crying to you again?" Without the constraints of the Elf King, Orlando returned to his usual tone, and always had some cynical words and actions. He had learned through the spider web about the recent situation of Vaulet. After the dwarf returned to the underground to seize the old land, the construction of Vaulet's new city also stopped. As soon as the Mirror Hall meeting was held, some people who were not optimistic about the expansion and alliance of the new city left and ran to Krenberg, who had a lower living threshold. The nobles who were not optimistic about the alliance with the Dwarfs, didn't know how to laugh at Sevis in private.

Link couldn't help but sigh. Since he came here, his sighs have increased day by day.

"I think he was born into a noble family and was somewhat capable of climbing to the position of the lord of the city. I didn't expect that he would ask me for help in such a small matter."

"Hey~ You're not going to make it difficult for him. The Esson leader is the youngest of the existing princes. The current duke is a waste who is not much more courageous than a rat. It's already quite independent that his son can withstand the pressure and form an alliance with you who had not become famous at that time." Orlando said a few good words for Sevis. He participated in the whole process of the alliance and knew what price Sevis paid.

If it weren't for the powerful strength of the Son of Nature and Malik's secret instruction, he wouldn't have dared to do such a thing alone. If Link didn't help, Orlando probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long, but he felt that there must be other forces behind this to disturb it.

Link thought so too. No matter how bad he was, he would not be so chaotic that Sevis would not hesitate to ask for help again and again. If Franny had not intentionally revenge, it would have been a bad choice for other nobles to take the blame. Hornheim had promised to make Vaulet independent and autonomous, and could not get Krenberg, and it would be a good choice to grab the strategically held Vaulet.

Thinking of this, the food in Link's mouth was like chewing wax. He put down the tableware and made the decision to set off overnight.

【Let's leave tonight? Wouldn't it be too hurrying?】

[Let's leave after dinner. Sevis has my law of causality and effect to protect him and will not die, but that law of causality does not guarantee that he will not be coerced or controlled by others. Hornheim has completely given up his control over Vaulet. If there is a riot in the inner city, there will be no movement on the outside.]

Doyle hurriedly stuffed the remaining food from the plate into his mouth and said in a speechless manner: "I'm full."

Alicina wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, "By the way, take me there too. It's time to go back after leaving Xindu for so long."

Orlando supported his head with his left hand and his right hand with wine to greet the three people who were about to leave, "Good luck, you all left, and I'm deserted."

Link turned his eyes to Kelly, who hadn't spoken until the beginning and the end, "I'll ask you here."

Because the pillar has a far-reaching influence and the chaotic situation, it is easy to recruit many believers. There are not many real difficulties in the creation so far, so he can leave with confidence.

Kyriel nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me." She also understood that Link was responsible for heavy responsibilities and could not just stay in one place.
Chapter completed!
