Chapter 42 Past Events in the Western Region
"Form... form a cult?" Miss Rabbit was a little dumbfounded, "Yes, but I am a believer of the Silver Moon Goddess, and most people in the Western Region also believe in the Silver Moon Goddess like me. I'm afraid you and your Saturday are here. It’s hard to recruit believers.”
"This is my business." Li Yu said, "You just need to give me some necessary cooperation when necessary."
"…………"
The girl's expression was tangled, and she was caught in the battle between heaven and man.
She was not trying to scare Li Yu. The belief in the Silver Moon Goddess in the Western Territory has been around for a long time, even before the establishment of the empire. Before the angry lion Alexander led his troops to conquer here, the people living on this land Most of them are already believers of the Silver Moon Goddess.
It is said that the battle known as the Blood Dragon's Wail was very brutal at one time, with numerous casualties on both sides. In the end, Alexander's side was able to win, except because the head of the Figuerola family at the time, Count Philip "Snowclaw", led thousands of miles to help. In addition, it is also related to the defection of Silver Moon Church.
The latter spread among believers the various evil deeds committed by the Enriquez family when they ruled the Western Territory, causing the Enriquez family to quickly lose the support of the people. After that, they encountered great difficulties in recruiting troops and collecting food and grass. , the morale of the army also dropped again and again.
Count Philip made a prompt decision after arriving. He only rested for half a day before leading his troops to attack Dragon Flame City, the home of the Enriquez family. The two sides fought bloody battles under the city for seven days before Count Philip broke through the city gate and captured Dragon Flame City.
Afterwards, the count ordered that all members of the Enriquez family in the city, regardless of age or gender, be killed. When the news reached the front line, João, the head of the Enriquez family, collapsed directly, and his army was also defeated by Alexandro. .
The Enriquez family, which had ruled the Western Territory for thousands of years, was wiped out.
But for the ultimate victor of this war, the threat has not completely disappeared.
The Enriquez family has been operating here for many years and has many followers and countless allies, both overt and covert.
Following João's defeat, many of these people chose to lurk temporarily, ostensibly swearing allegiance to the empire, but secretly waiting for the return of the true king of the West.
On the other hand, although the Enriquez family suffered a disaster, their bloodline was not completely cut off. These remaining remnants raised their flags of rebellion one after another, gathered their remaining soldiers, and raided and plundered everywhere.
Coupled with the connivance of local noble lords, they turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior, and even deliberately leaked the whereabouts of the imperial troops who came to counter the rebellion to those "robbers".
As a result, the Western Territory was in a mess at that time. The common people were in danger and could hardly engage in production. The famine that soon appeared further aggravated the turmoil here.
In order to completely pacify the Western Territory, dismantle the huge influence of the Enriquez family on this land, and eliminate the "Kings of the Western Territory" scattered all over the country, Alexander changed the title of Philip who shined in "The Wail of the Blood Dragon" For the Marquis.
He and the Figuerola family behind him were ordered to stay in the west forever for generations and defend the empire's borders.
The ancestors of the Arias family also came here with Marquis Philippe at that time and became the masters of the green field.
It is said that neither Marquis Philip nor the ancestor of the Arias family believed in the Silver Moon Goddess at the beginning.
They were all believers of Solona, the God of Winter. However, because of the huge influence of the Silver Moon Goddess Pisiya on this land, they all eventually followed the local customs and converted to the Silver Moon Goddess.
The Silver Moon Church was undoubtedly very satisfied with this result and reciprocated the favor. In the following hundreds of years, it has also been strongly supporting the rule of the Figuerola family and their vassals on this land.
Therefore, for noble lords like Ilea, what to believe in is never a simple question of who the soul should belong to, it is a serious and complex political issue.
Miss Rabbit frowned in place for a long time, then looked at Li Yu and said pitifully, "If...I mean if, I can't agree to your request for the time being, you won't be able to do it from now on either." Any more advice? ”
"That's not the case," Li Yu said, "Anyway, I won't leave Luye for a while. If you have any questions, you can still come and ask me."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Then... let me think about it again."
"Well, sure."
That's how it is when talking about projects. Never expect that the first version of the plan will be adopted by the customer and then make money at the speed of light. Party A may not be able to find such a fairy in a few years.
Most of them are still like Miss Rabbit, hesitant, shopping around, and still unable to make up their mind.
But anyway, no one is bidding with Li Yu now, so there is no need for him to be anxious. As long as we can figure out the core demands of girls, it will be a matter of time to win this order.
Before this, Li Yu had no reason to interrupt the good communication channel that the two parties had finally established.
After all, he didn't care about being prostituted by Ilea.
A good business is never just about how much one party makes, but about how both parties get what they need. Everyone gets what they want. Based on common interests, they will naturally tend to get closer to each other.
By the time you realize this, it's often impossible to separate, and the relationship becomes unbreakable.
Although Miss Rabbit didn't say anything, she could tell that she was very happy after hearing Li Yu's answer. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she felt more comfortable even paying.
She asked Fausto to go to the warehouse to get a bag of gold coins and give it to Half-face. The latter opened it and counted it, and found that there were twenty-three coins in it, one more than the agreed number.
"Oh, I can't tell that you, a stingy rabbit, can be generous sometimes." Ban Lian said with emotion, "Seeing how hard I have been along the way, you even gave me an extra gold lion as a reward."
"That's not a reward, it's the salary from your new job." The girl said, "I want to hire you for a while. Don't worry, the job this time is very simple, just stand beside me."
Half-face heard the words and sneered, "You want to buy me as your guard for a gold lion? Are you dreaming."
"It's not a guard," Ilea explained patiently, "I said, just standing still, pretending, and scaring those people with evil intentions. You know, I just became a lord, and I am young, so maybe Some people will want to take advantage of me. When the time comes and you slap me there and show the bad face you are showing me now, they will not dare to be bold. "
"…………"
"One gold coin for seven days, and another one every seven days. It's all paid in cash, including food and accommodation, and the time will never exceed a month. The salary is very generous, and there is no need to fight or kill, and there is no danger. , if you miss it, you won’t be able to find such an easy money-making opportunity in the future.”
This time it was Jude's turn to look confused. After a while, he cursed, "Damn it, how on earth do you do it? You hit my bottom line every time!" (End of Chapter)
