Alz's voice is refreshing and clear, which makes people feel calm.
After listening to his opening remarks, Zong Shen was somewhat impressed.
The tribunes were not pedantic absolute pacifists.
Peace is a derivative of war.
Cruel to say, absolute peace is unimaginable unless we live in a world with unlimited supplies.
In the normal main material world, war is a prerequisite for peace.
Only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can we usher in a precious period of peace.
It sounds cruel, but it's true.
Of course, the peace period may be long or short, depending on comprehensive factors.
Even powerful deterrence is an important part of it.
It’s not that there are no examples of lying down and making peace, it’s just that there are relatively few.
No one wants to gamble on small odds and leave their fate to others.
Therefore, wars and attacks have become a prerequisite for the development of people's livelihood.
These words made Zong Shen feel good.
What he worries most about is meeting those pedantic moral role model talents.
In this vast alien world, if you want to rise, you still need to have a more flexible moral bottom line.
"Welcome to join."
"The current territory needs a suitable tribune to join."
Tribune is an honorary title.
Although there are not many people who have won this honor in the history of the human kingdom, there are still some.
And Alz is considered an outstanding person in terms of reputation and reputation among the tribunes.
He was the son of serfs, and the lord to whom his parents belonged was assassinated when he was young.
Territory changed hands, and slaves as part of the property were no exception.
The new lord had a cruel temperament. After receiving the loot, he sold them to slave traders.
Shortly after falling into the hands of slave traders, Alz was separated from his parents.
While passing by a church in a small town, he was spotted by a Holy Light priest and bought it.
He became an intern pastor of the Holy Light Church and learned to read and write when he was twelve years old.
The life was quite fulfilling, and Alz almost thought that he had ushered in the dawn of life.
The priest had always coveted him.
Alz, who had a keen mind and noticed this, felt something was wrong.
But daily contact with the priest is indispensable.
Although after joining the religion, he regained his freedom.
But theoretically, as the buyer, the priest was indeed his owner.
Having this kind of relationship always makes people feel uncomfortable.
This lasted for less than two years, and one day when he was about to turn fourteen.
The priest, who looked very old, suddenly called him to go to the back mountain to listen to teachings at night.
This was a reason that Alz, as a trainee clergyman, simply could not refuse.
At night, the back mountain is cool and quiet. There is a large oak tree there. About one-third of the tree is carved into the shape of the Holy Light. It is regarded as an additional prayer place.
Due to its remote location, few people come here on weekdays.
When Arz arrived there, the priest had been waiting for a long time.
He finally showed his claws and planned to do evil to Alz.
The priest used the Holy Light spell to control Alz, making him unable to move and losing his ability to resist.
Just when the other party was about to commit an invasion, a flash of light suddenly fell from the sky.
This flash of light hit the priest who was approaching step by step.
The powerful light flow instantly vaporized his flesh and blood, and when the light disappeared, only a slightly rickety skeleton was left in place.
The person who saved Alz was an Oracle of Holy Light.
Oracles are far rarer and more powerful than gods' favored ones.
In terms of status, he is second only to the Son and the Saint.
This oracle has been famous for a long time and is called the glorious Alec.
Possessing semi-god-level strength and mastering the relatively pure power of the Holy Light.
Alec briefly appeared and released Arz from his restraints.
"I can vaguely see the glory of your future."
"Go on, get out of here and go to where you should go."
"The guidance of fate tells me that the place you want to go most is where your destiny will be in the future."
Glorious Alec appeared bathed in the holy light, and then quickly disappeared after speaking briefly.
His words made Alz thoughtful.
Where do you most want to go?
Undoubtedly it was the small collar where I once lived with my parents.
As a descendant of serfs, life is naturally difficult, but being with his family still makes him consider it his hometown.
After receiving Alec's revelation, he immediately chose to set off.
After many difficulties, he finally returned there, and in the next three years, he met several emerging descendants of the nobility. Finally, through a series of coincidences and various operations, a few young people occupied the place.
It only took a few hundred years for a kingdom and giant city to be built there.
Alec's civilian governance strategy was praised, and he himself responded to the call of the Holy Light and gained legendary level strength.
Therefore, the Alec in front of him is not only an outstanding internal affairs officer, but also a bishop-level powerhouse with the talent of Holy Light.
Although he later renounced any religious belief, his power of Holy Light continued unabated.
Some say that glorious Alec was his mentor, but no one dares to say that they know the truth.
When others asked this question, Alz just smiled and remained silent.
Only Zong Shen knew that this news was true.
Because the strategy module is showing Alz’s background in the form of subtitles.
"It seems that I really found a treasure this time."
Arz is both offensive and defensive. As a non-clergyman, you don’t have to worry about believing in the coming of gods.
At the same time, he can enjoy the convenience brought by the bishop-level holy light power he controls.
The power of the Holy Light is similar to all elemental powers. As long as you have the relevant talents, you can have a chance to master it even if you don't convert to the Holy Light Church.
It's just that those clergy who believe in the Lord of Holy Light have a much easier time grabbing the power of Holy Light, and can also obtain a state similar to blessing through various sacrificial rituals.
This principle is just like if you don’t believe in the God of Water, the God of Fire can still practice these two types of magic.
Zong Shen and Alz reached a ceremony of allegiance. This tribune from the early days of the founding of the country thousands of years ago was officially included in the territorial system and was subject to the framework of loyalty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alz bowed his head slightly in respect, and stood behind Zong Shen, like a waiter.
"I can feel the cry of the city."
"It suffered the trauma of war not too long ago."
He said suddenly, and Zong Shen, who sat back down, just nodded lightly.
He immediately picked up the map roll half spread out on the table and handed it to Alz, and explained smoothly.
"The giant city of Dagalisni is located in the eastern region of the Kingdom of Avalon."
"Belongs to the Cliff family."
"The ancestors of the Cliff family were once favored by King Arthur and had outstanding spellcasting talents."
Alz's former home, or rather the giant city he once built, is also within the territory of the Kingdom of Avalon.
Geographically, it is further north, even adjacent to the Kingdom of Swadia in the center of the continent.
And it was built in a different era than the giant city of Dagalisini.
Giant cities do not spring up after rain. Most of the construction history of each giant city takes thousands or even thousands of years. Therefore, Alz's achievement of building a giant city in only a few hundred years is worthy of praise.
Today, the giant city still uses the name of Alz—
——Bol Free City!
It enjoys permanent trade privileges, and was signed and recognized by all the kings of the year.
It is still in effect today.
As long as it does not touch the core interests of the current royal family, the agreement enjoyed by the Free City of Boer will not be invalidated.
To this day, the leaders of Liberty City are descendants of the families of Alz's partners.
Compared with others, Alz was considered lonely and never married or had children.
Until he encountered an accident and accepted the exchange of the lord system, at the cost of losing his freedom, he was temporarily sealed in a different dimension and waited for the lord's recruitment.
As a special recruitment scroll, the current Alz is also in peak condition, and his abilities have not been emasculated in the slightest.
He has long since put aside the past and is no longer attached to his past glory and status.
After hearing Zong Shen's words, Alz reached out and took the map scroll from Dagalisni, unfolded it with both hands, and examined it carefully.
There are some information notes that Zong Shen had left on it.
Including the total number of troops and population in the city, as well as some simple economic indicators.
"It's a bit militaristic."
"This garrison system is not good and will only increase the burden of development."
Alz just glanced at it and pointed out a problem.
This made Zong Shen a little unsure of how to answer.
Compared with the lords, the proportion of soldiers in the giant city of Dagalisni is very low.
However, the situations of the lords are different and cannot be compared at all.
"Yes, but times have changed."
"This is no longer the era of great development originally planned for the kingdom. The era is about to change, and war will become the main theme for a long time to come."
"As you said, a new civilization is being nurtured. Before that, the nutrients of blood and fire are also indispensable."
The current situation is different, and many things cannot be the same.
Facing the coming of a change of era, it is only right to resort to violence.
This explanation made Alz nod thoughtfully.
The era when he grew up can be regarded as the time when the contemporary human kingdom was reaching its peak.
But now all the countries in the mainland can be regarded as sunset.
The two eras are indeed completely different.
But soon, Alz shook his head again.
"It's a pity that they are not the protagonists of the era."
"Even if we go to war, it will be difficult to change our final destiny."
This statement clearly refers to Zong Shen's conquest.
"Yes, but although conquest is the main theme of the future, we still have to live a stable life in the future."
"My core territory needs you."
"There is already a huge population there, and everyone has shelter, food and clothing, but there are still many things that need to be improved."
"You will be appointed as the interior adjutant of the core territory."
Zong Shen made the decision directly.
Mariel is still the chief officer. Regardless of the gap in ability between the two, this is not the point.
The adjutant of the interior is considered the second-in-command. As long as Zong Shen is willing to open up his authority, it will not affect Alz's ability to perform.
Judging from the past experience provided by the strategy module, Alz is not the kind of guy who loves authority.
His pursuit of power is entirely to better utilize the abilities of the tribunes.
Otherwise, he would not have given up the Free City of Boer to his former partners.
With the reputation of the Tribune of Alz, even the king at that time had to give him some respect.
Asking for one or two huge city fiefs is not an excessive request.
To this day, there are still rumors about Alz's deeds, but the spread is far less than it was back then.
"I will comply with all your arrangements."
Alz has no requirements for positions or anything like that.
He knows the existence of the lord and what the change of era is.
Today, the Endless Continent is facing a new turning point, and it would be a good start to follow a powerful lord.
After all, for Alz, the present is his new life.
Calm and polite, this was Zong Shen's first impression of him.
Alz's eyes were determined, and it was difficult to see any mood swings in them.
But both the deeds he left behind and the nature of the tribune represent that Alz has a relatively lawful and kind heart.
This shows that he can control unnecessary empathy very well.
You must know that the Protector does not represent the Holy Mother.
Many times, Our Lady's decisions appear to be friendly to the general public, but will only cause side effects when actually implemented.
Strategy customization requires an overall view. Too much empathy is not a good thing, as it is easy to gain a small amount and lose a big one.
Because any emotion comes from subtle details.
Therefore, Zong Shen could tell at a glance that Alzi was definitely not the kind of virgin who had no sense of proportion.
His kindness is wise.
He nodded slightly as a response. Just when Zong Shen was about to take a look at this guy's attributes, Alz suddenly spoke again.
"Sir, how is the current situation in Bol Free City?"
This question made Zong Shen turn his head.
Finally, I saw some emotional fluctuations in Alz's eyes.
The flowing waves proved that he still remembered the city he created with his own hands.
When talking about this issue, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes.
Just now he had inquired about the simple information and current situation of the Free City of Boer.
It is still an important trading city in the northern region of the Kingdom of Avalon.
The scale is very large, and the level of trade is indeed very developed.
However, the development there was definitely not what Alz expected.
Telling the current situation may hurt the other party.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Zong Shen decided to tell the truth frankly.
"The Free City of Bol has developed very well and has been standing for thousands of years."
"It is a famous trading city in Avalon and even in the human kingdoms of the entire continent."
"but…"
"Most residents there are not doing well."
"Commerce created a lot of wealth and also led to rapid class differentiation."
"Some families control most of the wealth outflow."
"I guess this is not in line with your original goal of building the city."
Zong Shen said it more implicitly. He clicked until the end, believing that with just a few sentences, the other party would know what it meant.
Having said this, Alz understood instantly.
He frowned and moved his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something.
But after pondering for a while, he finally said nothing.
"No matter how good the policy is, it can't defeat the people's hearts." Zong Shen said at this time.
The city created by the tribunes will also deteriorate.
No one can guarantee whether future changes will be good or bad.
