The tree elves should be regarded as the strangest group of dependents in the new empire - in fact, many times Sandora and I will forget that they are also a vassal race of the empire, and they belong to the same race as the New Eden Federation, the Civilized Community and other races.
The so-called "high-level Familia" who directly serve the Imperial High Command, directly execute the orders of the Imperial Royal Family and are qualified to station special envoys in the Shadow City, and what's more, they are rarer than any existing Familia - they are still
The "ancient bloodline" that has survived from the old empire to the present day.
Is this fact dramatic?
Tree elves were the most unqualified vassals in the old empire, with a short history and mediocre strength. Although they are not timid, most tree elves are a bit romantic - in fact, they are a gentle species that loves life and fraternity.
They had only fought large-scale battles when facing the abyss. Such a race was not even qualified to serve as cannon fodder on the front line in the old empire era, let alone gain any knowledge of the empire. If not for the sudden disaster, Harlan would not have been able to do so.
They had no choice but to hastily let the tree elves perform their last mission as a family. I am afraid that they would not be able to get into the eyes of the military dictators of the old empire. However, as history goes to this day, the tree elves who were once the least qualified
It seems that it is possible or maybe... to become the ancestor of all vassal races?
This is something I accidentally thought of while chatting with Sandora. In the past few days, tree elves have become a hot topic between her and me. We are both very interested in this race that stumbled over. Sandora saw
They can recall the time of the old empire and sigh, while I feel very surprised that there is such a weird thing like Green Calyx in this race that can make Lilina deflate.
From Shandora's habitual perspective, tree elves are not outstanding "children". They are not very warlike and have no military characteristics. Even the disaster tens of thousands of years ago wiped out their civilization.
Now the tree elves have no fighting ability at all, but neither Sandora nor I deny that the tree elves should have a place in the palace of the empire - they should get this qualification just based on their tens of thousands of years of hard work and perseverance.
Moreover, Lilina has truly found the value of the gentle tree elves: diplomacy and official duties.
The huge war machine of the Xiling Empire has really never had similar components. Even the new empire that 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 means of negotiation is to give you a contract, and then tell you with a serious expression that your only choice is to sign. Although their intentions are good, the Space and Time Administration still receives countless complaints every day.
Telephone - Therefore, the ravens have to find an average of three scorpions per person per day to relieve their mental stress. Their stress has dropped. But those scorpion sisters who are running rampant like powder barrels still don't want me to comfort them?
Well now, the tree elves will recruit the entire family to the Space-Time Management Bureau, 2.4 billion civil servants who are friendly and like to travel very much - Lilina suggested that I call them liaison officers, so let's call them liaison officers.
From now on, these gentle and people-friendly races will run in the macro-world network, and those tasks and orders that require personal presence will finally be completed by someone. And correspondingly, maybe we will liberate 2.4 billion imperial soldiers...
Well, I may have miscalculated the key points. There should not be that many. It seems that all the races in the macro world combined do not need so many liaison officers, even if there are several offices in each world now.
Unconsciously, it was more than a month ago, and the weather in winter was getting colder and colder. The mercury lamp began to molt - or she thought she might have to molt, but in fact every day she found her own feathers in the room. They were Lilina's.
I put it there secretly. I thought the competition between the two little girls was a good daily entertainment, so I didn’t remind Little Lantern. Now the tree elves have nothing to worry about. The elves who are eager to have a stable new home have taken root on the new Oasis planet.
, that newborn star system is still very crude, with only three planets, and only one of them has satellites. But compared to the old planet fortress where the system is aging and you can only enjoy the forest in dreams, it is already a comfortable place.
A little paradise. Misaka Biological Society and several other strange societies volunteered to build many ecological domes for the tree elves. When the environment of the new oasis was unstable, these domes were the safest walls. The tree elves built tall barriers in the domes.
Later, they built their new home in their own way: a completely independent architectural style, construction technology, and urban planning. These were all completed by themselves. Except for the necessary food and material supplies, we did not send a single soldier there.
Help. Sandora said that this is a very important process: the new home built by oneself is many 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
Home is very meaningful.
And more tree elves began to line up to sign up to join the Space-Time Management Bureau. After a complex review, they will obtain different levels of "civilian permissions" (this is a regulation. No matter who the junior employees of the Management Bureau are, they only have civilian permissions. After all, they
Many of the things we have to face are "lower worlds" that have not 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 Apostle, as long as the mothership is not used, it is considered civilian: their common people are counted from the imperial soldiers...), these newly appointed imperial envoys have temporarily determined three standard equipment:
The envoy's scepter represents the authority of the empire and the status of the ambassador; several imperial guards (it seems that they do not need to be carried with them in most missions), responsible for security work and so-called "violent missions"; and finally a Bible of the Goddess of Life, which represents the special envoy
At the same time, he is a believer in the goddess and possesses neutrality.
Hmm...a Bible of the Goddess of Life.
Just like the book I have in my hand now.
In the morning, Lu'e came to pester Lilina on time, and I got this little book from her. Also, by the way, Lu'e has been granted permission to visit the house at any time, or in other words, we have approved this
The tree elf girl serves as Lilina's personal "assistant", so she can live at home as long as she wants. Therefore, Lilina's dire days have already begun. The little girl acted like a fool, rolled around, pretended to cry, hung herself, and drank.
Pesticides, going back to my parents' house, basically using all kinds of methods, but it still can't change the decision that my sister and I made together. My sister's starting point is that Lilina, a child with abnormal psychology, urgently needs a normal person like Lucai.
To balance it out, my starting point is... Lily is infinitely good, and Lilina's deflated look is quite fun.
Green Calyx was one of the first tree elves to apply to join the Space-Time Administration Liaison Officer Team. When she heard that this team was established at Lilina's suggestion, she immediately took action. At least three-thirds of this soul
One of the girls marked by Lilina is a very powerful person. Under her influence, the three ravens registered by the person in charge of the Space and Time Administration almost went crazy - they were too busy.
Okay, let's continue talking about this Bible - after removing the strange watermarks like "Baidu Wenku" and xx- that occasionally appear on it, the editing is actually pretty good, and it is worthy of Lilina, who has a background in psychology.
This Bible is very carefully written, and the code of conduct set for believers can unconsciously make a person take the initiative to regard faith as a part of his soul. Moreover, there are many persuasive and even provocative stories in it: Ding Dang did not do well.
Lilina transformed all the stupid things into miracles and wrote them in the Bible. The only problem with this book is that after reading it for a while, I suddenly felt that it was not promoting the belief in the Star Realm Gods...
"The goddess is a close friend of King Xiling, so believers should regard loyalty to the empire as their belief in the goddess."
"At the end of that world, there is a goddess, the Holy Father (I'm glad she didn't write Holy Father here), the goddess shepherds the soul, and the Holy Father protects the peace of all believers. Therefore, all believers should believe in the goddess, and know that loyalty to the Holy Father is the only way to believe in the goddess.
Right path. Holy Father, Emperor of the Empire..."
"The existence of the divine religion lies in the empire. Because the Holy Father is on good terms with the Goddess, all the people are also on good terms with the Goddess, and 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 are barbarians from outside the country. They have no faith and no 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 belief in the goddess should
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 on behalf of the goddess. The goddess religion is an internal welfare of the citizens of the empire. Only the people of the empire can believe in the goddess - she completely turns belief in jingle and loyalty to the empire into
A concept!
"I said... why does this Bible look weird?" I raised the small book in my hand and said to Bingtis next to me.
Bingtis is also reading a book. This powerful female gangster actually likes quite quiet hobbies in her spare time: reading, writing, making garlands, and opening people's heads. Well, the last one doesn't count. In short, she
He was leaning on the deck chair on the balcony side by side with me, looking at his huge divine book, laughing and having fun while reading it.
"What are you looking at?" I didn't hear Bingtis's answer, only her silly smile, and I couldn't help but become curious.
"Divine Code," Bingtis raised the tome in his hand, "Tusalona's Insights from the Realms, Ten Thousand Years Issue."
Damn it, can you ask me what the Ten Thousand Years Magazine means?! Also, why would an entertainment magazine appear in such a serious thing as the "Sacred Code"?!
"Is this a Bible compiled by Lilina?" Bingtis took the small book in my hand and looked at it twice, then threw it over indifferently, "She seems to be spreading the Goddess Cult as part of the private culture of the empire.
, I already knew it.”
"As a star god, you don't have any ideas? According to this method of communication, the believers you will eventually cultivate don't even know the relationship between Ding Dong and the stars of the stars."
"So what's the matter? This method of preaching must have been approved by the above - these classics are registered in the God Realm. Our only purpose of recruiting believers is to make our work more convenient. The gods of the star field do not need believers to provide themselves with anything."
The power of faith', the gods of the star domain cannot get anything from the mortal world, so under normal circumstances, the priests under the gods of the star domain will point their faith to the management god of the local world when preaching. Regarding the world of star domain gods, it can be mentioned
But don’t mention it: It’s better not to mention it, and you can save the time to explain to low-level believers what star field is. Regarding Lilina and these bibles, I can only say that that girl is so good to you - she has long discovered that your empire is not at all
It is suitable for winning people's hearts, so you use another thing to help you tie the people."
I was in a daze for a moment, not knowing why Bingtis said this.
"A soldier who is fully armed and only knows how to execute and give orders, and a priest who has a pleasant smile and uses favors and garlands to attract people's hearts. When these two people are placed among civilians who just want to live a peaceful life, who can be more relatable?
?”
"...I seem to understand."
"That's the problem. Your emperor can indeed gather amazing power. You have recruited countless armies from many worlds, and they fight for you as 'servant armies'. But these have nothing to do with the common people and have nothing to do with your emperor.
**The only people who are grateful are those racial leaders, military leaders, combat heroes, and at least veterans who have escaped death on the battlefield. Only they can understand the importance of the empire to their own destiny. But what about the most ordinary common people? Well, just from the world
When they are rescued from the apocalypse, they may cheer for a few days. But when everything settles down, all they want is food, rice, oil and salt. Whoever can make them live comfortably is a good person. As for the war on the front line - then distance
They are too far away. So as the leader of the empire, when facing the vassal race, you are actually facing two parts at the same time. One part is your miscellaneous militiamen. Their minds are politicians, military strategists and great heroes.
, they like to deal with your soldiers, and the other part are the ordinary people in the ordinary world. They can't contact you, but every move you and your empire makes is involved in their daily lives, and their loyalty to you is unlimited.
It may be maintained by the army - you can't let them have the end of the world once a year on average and then lead the troops to save it, right? After all, the loyalty of ordinary people is maintained by food, clothing, housing and transportation. In this regard, the imperial soldiers cannot do it, so they have to rely on Lily.
Priests of Na: A life priest can do many things. They can make crops grow better. They can prevent children from getting sick, they can cure colds, coughs and diarrhea. They can even deliver babies with difficult labor: this is the loyalty of ordinary people.
Source. And what Lilina did was to convince them that this grace not only came from the goddess, but also from the emperor."
I was stunned for a moment by what Bingtis said, and then I was convinced.
"The child thought of this three years ago. The Xiling Apostles themselves have no civilian class from top to bottom. You can never rely on their guns to win the allegiance of the small citizens and farmers in the vassal world.
These most inconspicuous ordinary people are very important, because all your servant armies are selected from them. Once these grassroots people lose interest in the empire, your servant army is destined to only have one generation available, so Lilina
Using religion to ensure the dedication of the lowest level civilians to the empire - or even making up this kind of thing for this purpose." At this point, Bingtis pointed to the Bible of the Goddess of Life next to him, "The writing is too outrageous.
point."
After saying this, Bingtis stretched and turned to the room: "I go back and catch up on my half-afternoon nap. Come call me when the world ends."
I smiled sarcastically, feeling bitter in my heart: How could this female gangster know so much?
Okay, by the way, I am also a little touched by Lilina.
"Boss, boss!" At this moment, Lilina's voice suddenly came from behind me. I thought to myself, what a coincidence, so I turned my head to give this girl a long-lost hug, but before I could turn my head, I was greeted by a hug.
The black shadow stepped on his face and passed by, and then Lilina's voice came slowly, "Boss, get away quickly... Oh, I didn't avoid it."
I:"……"
"What on earth was that just now?"
It took me two full seconds to react, and I touched my face hurriedly. Fortunately, there seemed to be no dirt left behind. What was that just now - a black shadow stepped on my face at a fast speed?
I can't see clearly! You know, my eyes are super-strengthened 11-13 titanium alloy eyes that can see bullet trajectories. I didn't even see clearly what that black shadow was!
I just remember the fleeting touch of small paws and fur on my face, it seemed like a small animal?
"Cat, a black cat, just appeared suddenly."
Lilina ran over, and I was horrified to find that this girl's head was full of weeds, and her hair was as messy as Anweina's nest. What happened to this girl? Did Lu'e finally give up?
He tried to push Lilina through gentle methods, but both Lily and Lily were defeated?
"I had a fight with that cat," Lilina leaned on the balcony railing and looked out, trying to find the black shadow just now, "Tsk, it was just a little bit close, just a little bit close, I caught it.
!Xiaoxue, have you seen the cat?"
Lilina climbed out half of her body from the railing and shouted to the people below. I leaned over and took a look, and found my daughter who, like Lilina, had a chicken coop on her head and was covered in grass sticks. She was holding a huge net bag in the yard.
After going around in circles, he took the time to raise his head and answer Lilina: "No, it just passed in a flash. The prophecy screen was all flashing and flashing. It was so fast. It's not easy to catch it. Dad? Are you up there?"
"What on earth are you making a fuss about?" I asked loudly.
Xiaoxue put up a pergola and looked around while answering: "Catch the cat! Just now a black cat suddenly came in. Lilina went to pounce on it, but a fight broke out. Now Sister Deng and I are splitting up to contain it."
Catching a cat? The black shadow that ran past just now was indeed a cat? We thought Lilina was joking. I looked around in confusion, but couldn’t find any trace of the black shadow just now, and suddenly I felt horrified:
A cat, a cat that can fight with the Pope of the Cult of Life, that can escape from under my nose, and that even the daughter of the prophet can’t catch for a while!
Is this Nima still a cat?
At this moment, the mercury lamp suddenly flew down from upstairs and shouted: "Stupid, stupid, cat! The cat is under your feet!"
I was startled, looked down, and saw the so-called "cat", but...
It was a shadow printed on the ground. Yes, there was only a shadow in the shape of a cat...
