Regarding the salvation of the demon-stained people, Lux does not intend to announce it to the people of Forsbyro for the time being.
Although Forsbarrow is located in the north and has a more open atmosphere than Xiongdu, her rejection of those infected with demons remains the same as ever - under such circumstances, she cannot openly say, "These people come to the north to redeem themselves."
"The devil-infected person" and so on.
That's not being honest, that's seeking death.
Lux knew that it was harmless if the mage controlled his magic power, but the Forsbarrow people didn't know that, and they weren't willing to know.
In fact, after Lux told the story about Kalya rescuing Oren, even though she was already very prestigious among the soldiers, when the soldiers talked about it, they would only say "Occasionally there is a person among mages."
"Two good guys" will not make any substantial changes to the caster at all.
And Lux, who had just arrived and had just become the lord of Forsbarrow, could not make the people of Forsbarrow completely believe in her just because of a tax-free promise.
Preconceptions in people's hearts are like a huge mountain. Even Lux herself, as a spell caster, was still extremely wary of magic after being taught by Kalya.
Therefore, instead of persuading people to debate the scriptures, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the people of Fosbarrow do not know the identities of these "new immigrants" and let these demon-infected people do something that will be accepted by Fosbarrow.
"A group of potentially dangerous demoniacs" is hard to swallow.
But "a group of spellcasters who may be dangerous, but spent a winter building an artificial lake for us, and then plan to build roads for us" is completely different.
As a member of the Forsbarrow people, Sambol was naturally outside the scope of insiders. Faced with his persuasion, Lux could only say, "I have considered these, frozen soil construction and...
There is absolutely no problem in building a new city.”
Sambor was dubious about this.
From his point of view, His Excellency Count Laxana did not show any dissatisfaction, and he did not seem to be holding on to it. He seemed to be really confident in the project.
But where does faith come from?
Sambor couldn't figure this out no matter how hard he thought about it, and in the end he could only attribute this confidence to that seemingly majestic army.
If these soldiers were willing to fight all winter, maybe they could actually dig out a lake?
Then, just when Sambol took the initiative to say goodbye, Lux stopped him.
"It just so happens that you are here." Lux took out a stack of documents on the desktop and placed it in front of Sambor, "You are the president of the Forsbarrow Chamber of Commerce. It just so happens that I am here.
We are planning to normalize the Chamber of Commerce, Hunters Guild, Mining Guild and Herb Collection Guild in Fosbarrow. Here is a first draft for soliciting opinions. Please take a look at it first."
normalization?
First draft for comments?
Sambol blinked, obviously a little confused - he had traveled all over the country for many years, but he had never heard any of these words.
"It is to bring the Chamber of Commerce under the supervision of the Forsbarrow government." Lux had obviously anticipated the other party's doubts. "In the past, Forsbarrow had no lords, so everyone could only sign up for a group to keep warm. We discussed everything. Now I will do it."
Now, when we have meetings behind closed doors, you can’t help but take me with you, right?”
Although Lux had a smile on her face and seemed to be talking easily, Sambor still felt a thump in his heart when he heard this.
If you don’t collect taxes, are you targeting various guilds?
"Your Majesty the Earl." Thinking of this, Sam Bol's face showed a bit of a wry smile, "Forsbarrow is different from other places. The guild has a great reputation, but in fact, as you said, everyone is just
It’s just a group signing to keep warm. Except for the president, elders and the like, everyone talks about the unified price and so on. There are no membership fees in the guild..."
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Sambor, I'm not asking you to collect money." Lux shook her head when she heard this, "Just like what I said this morning, since I am Lord Forsbarrow, then I am Lord Fusbarrow."
Sparrow's own people, the guilds report to the group to keep warm, and I am naturally one of them - you should take a look at this first draft for soliciting opinions. I will send it to the presidents of several other guilds later.
In your hands, you all think about it carefully, and the day after tomorrow we will sit together and study how to do it."
"..."
When Sambor heard this, although he was still worried, he could only nod his head, then carefully put away the first draft of the solicitation for opinions, turned around and left Lux's temporary office.
……………………
As Sambor turned around and left, closing the office door, Lux finally collapsed on the table and rubbed her temples with her hands.
These days, Lux's life can only be described as exhausted.
Although Ogesha felt sorry for her daughter, she selected many "smart and capable" housekeepers and servants from the Crownguard family to accompany the team north, hoping to use these people to help Lux gain a foothold in Forsbarrow.
Objectively speaking, the people Ogesha selected are indeed talents, but unfortunately, they are not the talents Lux needs.
Some of these people are good at calculations, some are good at coordination, and some are proficient in etiquette. If they are used well, they should be more than enough to support the rule of a city.
But the problem is that the rule that Lux wants and the rule that these people are good at are not exactly the same thing.
In order to make the best use of these professionals, during the march, Lux took the lead and marched with the soldiers, pulling the colossus together. She also had one-on-one conversations with these professionals every day to understand their personalities and strengths.
Without Kalya by her side, she could only write down all this in a small notebook.
Coupled with the fact that he kept walking and had to give "lectures" to the soldiers at night, the journey from Xiongdu to Fosbello, Lux felt as if he was back in the Dasai Desert - but it was different from that time
The thing is, in the Dashai Desert, Lacus mainly studied and listened. Here, she wanted to speak and speak.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After arriving at Forsbarrow, although Lux did not need to march all day, the work she needed to face suddenly increased.
Why did Sambor's request for an audience wait from noon to evening?
Because after finishing her speech at noon, Lux kept turning to the present moment - and not just today, but every day in the past few days.
When Zaun was the leader, Lux was also very busy with her work, but at least Zaun was mostly workers and there was no army. Lux only had to work together with the prestigious foreman, so it was not too difficult to carry out the work.
But Forsbarrow is different.
After hurriedly reading the first draft of the socioeconomic survey, Lux first visited the Third Northern Army without stopping and reached an opinion with General Robles on the division of labor for northern defense issues.
Then, she ran to the new stronghold designated for the demon-stained ones, presided over the foundation laying ceremony, and drove the first wooden stake into the frozen soil that had gradually hardened.
After hurriedly returning to Forsbarrow, just when she was planning to take advantage of dinner time to summon the locals of Forsbarrow to learn more about the situation in Forsbarrow, Lux discovered the identities of those tax merchants.
, after some thinking, he decisively captured it and cut through the mess with a quick knife. He sent some soldiers to contact the Chamber of Commerce and notified the people of Forsbarrow to come and listen to the speech.
And because the chicken who killed the chicken to scare the monkeys bumped into him, Lux also revised the script of her speech.
On the next day, when the soldiers and chamber of commerce guys informed them to listen to the speech, and the housekeeper organized the merchant guys who were accompanying the team to start setting up the platform, Lux hurried to the demon-stained settlement as soon as she got up - as expected,
There was an incident of the demon-possessed person escaping last night.
In order to appease the emotions of the demon-stricken people, Lux spent a day showing off her magic in the camp, using actions to prove to these demon-stricken people that she was one of them, and she took them to Forsbarrow.
, to allow them to welcome a better tomorrow...
Everyone knows the identity of the person who climbed the peak of Lux.
But according to common knowledge, people who climb the mountain are not people infected with evil spirits.
Now that the march is over and the soldiers guarding the place are all outside the stronghold, Lux finally found a chance to communicate with these amazingly talented spellcasters.
Objectively speaking, Lux can be in her current situation not only because of Kalya's teachings, but also because of the origin of the Crownguard family. Therefore, it is not necessary for the demon-stained people to accept Lux as their own.
A simple thing.
If Lux's attitude is a little arrogant, I'm afraid someone will fall into the same extreme as Silas.
Therefore, she had to repeat the process of her summit redemption over and over again, and with Karya's prompts, she helped many spellcasters whose magic was on the verge of losing control to initially take control of their magic.
"Everyone has listened to my talk about history along the way, so you should all understand why the demon-stained people are excluded - for Demacia, magic is the source of pain, and the demon-stained people are the source of pain.
It is considered a destabilizing factor."
"But in my opinion, this is wrong. The demon-stained people are a group of people who have been wronged in Demacia. The demon-stained people are not a disaster, but a talent. The main reason why the demon-stained people are not recognized is that their magic power is out of control.
.”
"Fortunately, I have returned from the summit and now have a way to control this power. Now that we are in Forsbarrow, we can slowly learn to control this dangerous and powerful power, and prove to everyone with facts that dyeing
The devil is not original sin."
"..."
"..."
Lux knew that she would not be recognized by all the demon-possessed people in a short period of time, but through self-display and taking care of some demon-possessed people whose magic power was on the verge of losing control, she at least temporarily calmed the emotions of these demon-possessed people.
.
Then, according to the list provided by the demon searchers, Lux announced the charges of some of the demon-infected people, and in a manner similar to a public trial, these guys who relied on their magic power to deliberately break the law were picked out of the crowd and escorted to
Forsbarrow continues to serve his sentence.
After some operations, the people in this temporary camp finally calmed down.
After doing this, Lux left his little junior sister in this camp—along with Kalya.
On the one hand, this will allow Shyvana, who is an elemental dragon, to supervise these demon-infected people to prevent them from escaping or causing security incidents. On the other hand, it will allow Kalya to take the opportunity to examine their talents and prepare for the next junior level.
Preparing for magic school.
When night fell, Lux hurried back to Forsbarrow.
Today is the third day. On this day, Lux got up early to prepare a speech. Then she met with the person in charge of the caravan and the butler assigned by her mother. Then she and Ino discussed drafting this request.
Opinion draft.
Finally seeing Sambor leave the office with the draft for comments, Lux seemed to have been drained of all her strength and lay limply on the table.
We will go to the temporary camp in a while. Forsbarrow's speech here is over, and next is the speech to the devil-infected people at the temporary camp. At that time, the plan for the frozen soil construction will be officially announced.
Calculating the time, I'm afraid I will have to rest at the camp tonight.
Just when Lux was trying to empty her mind and let herself rest for a while, the office door was knocked again.
"Please come in."
Lux sat up straight in a fit of excitement, assuming the countenance's posture that was in line with society's expectations.
Then, she saw the smiling Ino.
The next moment, as Ino closed the door, Lux lay limply on her chair again, almost sliding to the ground.
"Let's have something to eat." Ino placed a tray in front of Lux, "I'm going to give a speech at the temporary camp later -"
Before she finished speaking, Lacus had already put the roasted beef into her mouth, tearing apart large pieces of bread and dipping them into the thick soup.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Ino smiled and shook his head, "Teacher Kalya said you were busy with business, so he specially equipped a mount for you."
Lux blinked in confusion - the movements of her mouth and hands did not stop at all.
"That frost dragon, Ivar." Ino looked at Lux who was doing her homework with great pleasure, "It is now your exclusive mount - but in order to hide it from others, it can only take off and land at night."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Okay, okay, let's eat your food. We'll talk after you finish eating. There's still enough time." Seeing Lux chewing like a hamster, Ino stood up and poured her a glass of water, "Teacher Kalya's over there
No problem, maybe when you come over, we will have another junior sister!"
Lux blinked.
"Also, Frey found me today." Ino continued, "She has been taking care of Sefiqa and is waiting for news about us and Vayne. She will go with us to the temporary camp tonight.
.”
"But isn't Vayne in the Shadow Realm?" Lux finally swallowed a large piece of bread and said reluctantly, "She doesn't want to see Vayne?"
"The entrance to the Shadow Realm has been closed." Ino shook his head, "So we have to ask Teacher Kalya if there is any way - and Sefiqa's condition does not seem to be quite right."
"What's wrong with Sefiqa?" Lux's eyes widened, "Is there a crack?"
