Agnes was silent.

Just because she doesn't have the title of Justice doesn't mean she has no bottom line.

It’s okay not to want this kind of self-deceiving victory.

What's more, the residents are not fools.One side is to distribute food in one go, and the other side is to solve the food problem from the root. Is there any need to ask who to choose?

Missionaries cannot cross the river, but ordinary people can.

If there is enough food over there and more crops can be grown in the fields, the people here will vote with their feet and the water will flow directly to the other side of the river.

"The Holy See of Light is full of talents, but few of them know how to farm. We are clergy, not farmers. Even if we ask for help, we can't compare to Ruit. What to do with food, we can't ask them for it."

Agnes murmured quietly.

The clergy's prejudice against agriculture and farmers is not surprising.They are noble servants of the goddess, how could they lower themselves to farm the land.

In the world of Tiamat, farmers are at the bottom of the food chain.

Even farmers don’t want their sons to continue to be farmers.They would do whatever they could to send their children to missionary schools or to apprenticeships in shops to learn trades.

Clergy are the top of the food chain.

They are well-dressed, have noble status, can talk and laugh with nobles, and are standard people.

Although Yanis is approachable, it is unrealistic to expect her to change her fixed views.

Roland never planned to make any reforms in the other world.

If the productivity cannot reach the level of hard work, it is nothing more than water without a source.

He did not refute Yanis's view. After all, his identity here was that of a nobleman, not the son of a farmer.

"Why not?"

He said it half-jokingly.

"Huh? Ruit can't possibly send us food! Although he is honest, he is not a fool."

Agnes's eyes widened, almost thinking that Roland was here to amuse her.

But thinking that Roland was not this kind of person, he endured and waited for the next step.

"Of course Ruyter won't give us food, but merchants can. If we use the money we earn from this land to buy food, it won't be a shame."

"Of course not, but there is nothing here."

Agnes glanced at Roland and lowered her voice and said:

"Although it is rude to say this, your territory is the poorest viscounty I have ever seen, bar none. There are no resources here, no markets, no merchants. Even if there are merchants, we will never come. Where to make money?”

"industry!"

Roland said calmly: "The Holy Temple of Light has many subordinate factories. How many clergy do you have? How big is the demand for these people's clothing, equipment, and weapons? As long as you find a way to set up a factory here, let the residents here work in the factory. , they can have enough to eat.”

Yanis looked at Roland with suspicious eyes and said faintly: "You say that, aren't you afraid that I will think that you want to take this opportunity to strengthen your own strength?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, because that's what I think."

Roland's eyes were magnanimous, but his words were shameless.

Agnes was very angry with Roland.

I have seen shameless, never seen such shameless.

Agnes never dreamed that Roland would be so embarrassed as to open his mouth, but she couldn't stop him.

She held it in for a long time and couldn't figure out how to refute.

Seeing Yanis' dumbfounded expression, Roland said calmly: "Don't look at me like that. I'm not taking advantage of you for nothing. Put the production factory here, and I guarantee you won't regret it."

"Okay, tell me, what are the advantages of opening a factory here? Don't tell me that there are people here. Three-legged monsters are hard to find, and two-legged people are everywhere. The investment in opening a factory is huge, so why are you losing money? Explain to the senior management?"

"Of course there are advantages!"

Roland said calmly: "Minhausen has the most hardworking people."

"People in other places are also very hardworking." Yanis did not give in at all.

She couldn't afford to lose in the missionary race, and she couldn't afford to lose in opening a factory.If she loses the competition, her promotion will be postponed at most, and if the factory loses money, she will be deprived of her position or even imprisoned.

The Holy Temple of Light is a super organization that serves 10 people. To maintain such an organization requires a huge amount of wealth.

When it comes to money, there's no such thing as small matters.

Although Agnes has the title of saint, the saints of the Holy Temple of Light are not valuable. There are at least dozens of girls similar to her.

As long as the image and temperament are good and the strength is acceptable, a young and pure girl can wear the title of saint to serve the divine court.

These mass-produced saints use their good image to travel around to earn reputation for the Holy Court. After making enough achievements, they will be awarded various levels of bishops.

Compared with saints, they have a more popular name outside, "Daughters of Light."

Agnes is very powerful and has more power and resources than ordinary saints.

She does have the power to mobilize resources to set up a factory in Baron Münhausen, but she must be responsible for the factory's profits.

If the factory fails to turn a profit within three years, she will have to bear full responsibility.

Want to gamble?

Just when she was hesitating, Roland said calmly: "The people of Minhausen have an advantage, they are cultured. The family of the former baron has a huge collection of books, and some of the less important books were used to build a public library, and they also hired Teachers teach the baronies. Not many baronies have public schools."

"The people of Münhausen have a tradition of attaching great importance to education. The adult illiteracy rate here is less than 30%. With a little training, they can do most technical jobs."

Yanis's expression relaxed instantly.

You should mention such a huge advantage earlier.

Education is a luxury in this day and age.She originally thought that a poor place like Münhausen was full of illiterate people, but who knew it had such favorable conditions.

Uneducated farmers can only do hard work, but educated residents can become skilled workers.

This gap is too big.

Yanis made the decision without hesitation.

Bet!

Without building a factory here, there was no chance of winning the missionary race.

The first defeat in a hundred years would nail her to the pillar of shame and she would never be able to get over it.

She had to gamble.

"In this case, I have no reason to refuse. I plan to build a clothing factory here to provide clothing for the surrounding dioceses. Unfortunately, the workers I hired are busy building the church, so the progress of the factory will be slower."

Roland said with a smile: "I have a suggestion, let locals do the factory construction. This can increase their sense of belonging to the factory, and they can get money as early as possible during the construction process. This year's winter food will not be a problem. "

“How can they not yearn for the bright future when they have enough to eat, clothing and clothing to earn money?”

Although Roland's selfishness was obvious, Yanis still agreed.

Roland was not seeking personal gain for himself, but for the benefit of the territorial residents, which made it easier for her to accept.

At least for the moment, their interests were completely aligned.

Chapter 35 Eye of the Storm

Roland's secret advice and Yanis's big gamble quickly reversed the situation in this competition.

Although the Forest Brotherhood still leads in the number of missions, Ruyter is keenly aware of the changes in his opponents.

He also has people under his command who are good at snooping for intelligence.

They can transform into coyotes, puppies, or even birds, sneak across the Yser River, and detect intelligence on the other side.

The stipulation of the competition is that missionaries are not allowed to cross the Yser River to preach, and intelligence personnel are not included in this.Both parties acquiesce in this behavior, which also shows the other party that they are magnanimous and not afraid of supervision.

Ruit is an honest man, but not pedantic.

As long as the rules allow, he will also use tactics and means.

When he learned that Yanis was building a garment factory in Fort Drau, he was silent for a full minute.

He couldn't understand why Yanis was so obsessed with winning. To him, the missionary competition was just a game.

In the past hundred years, the Brotherhood has lost more than 20 games to the Holy Temple of Light and more than 30 games to the Holy Temple of Darkness in missionary competitions. Is it so unpleasant for him to win once?

The Brotherhood's performance in past competitions has been described as repeated defeats at best, and at worst, repeated defeats.

Maybe it's because they stayed in the forest for a long time and ate too much vegetarian food. Most of the brothers in the fraternity have an easy-going attitude and don't pay much attention to victory or defeat. They basically just let it happen.

Their conditions for preaching are somewhat harsh, and they don't require just anyone to believe in the religion.

Only believers who live on the edge of the forest and whose ideas are close to theirs will be attracted.

I finally had a chance to win, and I was about to break the centuries-old legend of the Brotherhood, but this guy Yanis failed?

Ruit frowned, and when he was thinking about whether to raise the stakes, a cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Big man, why are you in a daze again? Today's work is done, I have to go home, Master Roland's knowledge class will be here later."

Ruit woke up suddenly, just in time to see Granny carrying a giant ax waving goodbye to him.

He seemed to have made up his mind and said with a smile: "Miss Granny, walk slowly. Please tell Lord Roland, I sincerely invite him to come to my place for inspection tomorrow."

Granny nodded, wiped her sweat without asking any questions, picked up the ax and left.

Looking at her strong figure and straight back, Luit narrowed his eyes.

The barbarian berserker, a legendary combat profession that has disappeared, will actually appear in Roland's territory.

The water in Barony Münhausen was deeper than he imagined.

Berserkers are a rare warrior profession. They are thick-skinned and extremely lethal, and are not afraid of debuffs. They are terrifying war machines.

Among the berserkers, the barbarian berserkers are extremely rare existences.

According to the records in the "Book of Savagery", only pure barbarians have a slight chance of becoming barbarian berserkers.

To put it simply, only those who are considered simple-minded among the barbarians can become barbarian berserkers.

They are not fools, but they are almost insulated from knowledge and magic.

In return, they are extremely talented in combat.

They cannot use fighting spirit, but can easily resist the erosion of witchcraft, hexes and status spells.

Granny has yet to awaken to her true power.

If she could fully awaken, it would be a magician's nightmare.The awakened barbarian berserker can enter a magic immune state through multiple blood rages.

Facing a rampaging war machine that was not affected by magic, the magician wanted to die.

The last recorded awakened barbarian berserker was in the late Chaos Era of the previous era.

After entering the Annihilation Era, this hidden profession seemed to disappear from the world and never appeared again.

It is naturally unusual to reappear now.

As an observer of nature, any abnormality will arouse Luit's vigilance.

He is not disgusted with the barbarian mad warriors, but is keenly aware of the changes in the situation.

The Age of Annihilation has begun in 1453. Although the structure of Tiamat's world has been changing, it is only a change of power in the mortal regime.

Empire X turning into Empire Y was just an ordinary dynasty change and had minimal impact on the Brotherhood.

But the return of the barbarian mad warrior to the human world is different.

Of course he wouldn't care if it was just a Granny, but that was just the beginning.

When he walked out of the forest, he thought that dealing with Roland's declaration of war was just a formality.

He himself is of quasi-level [-] strength, and the five great druids who are traveling with him are all of level [-] or quasi-level [-] strength.

This combination can kill a duke easily, and it is easy to deal with the little baron.

However, after arriving in Münhausen, he realized that something didn't seem right.

The Barony of Minhausen only has [-] residents and a dozen soldiers, but it has gathered many heavyweights.

Egilina is a star sorcerer of the Star Gazing Club, the youngest and most talented star sorcerer.

Ruyter didn't know astrology, but he knew stargazing would.
