In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Gangster?

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow. Things seemed to have finally entered a familiar territory for him—well, a part of that familiar territory.

Although he had no prior experience with this field, many of his teachers had offered important opinions on it.

Because of his clean family background and his single-minded focus on learning musical instruments, without getting involved in other things, many teachers were willing to chat with him during breaks in class.

After all, with the Spark buff activated, his learning speed was indeed too fast. He could learn something instantly, understand it immediately, and remember it perfectly. If he were to keep teaching, he probably would have mastered all their skills in no time.

Teachers like Professor Xu, who thought of sending him abroad to perform on a bigger stage, are still a minority.

"Didn't you just say you were worried that there were too many people in the army, and that putting them in the city would cause problems?" Lu Mingfei tapped the table. "See, isn't this the solution?"

"Organize retired soldiers specifically to combat these gangs and pickpockets. Firstly, it solves the issue of troop reduction; secondly, it improves social order. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

The prince frowned and offered his next suggestion: "But these gangs... the smaller ones are alright, but those that really grow big and dominate a city are often backed by a noble family."

"Wouldn't doing this provoke them?"

"—What I mean is, doing this will provoke a furious backlash from them and have other negative consequences..."

"Who will they affect?" Lu Mingfei blinked and asked in return, "To cause a bad influence on society? Society is not just a society of nobles. If they want to cause trouble like this, they also have to pay attention to the feelings of the Holy Church and the Royal Family."

"Call on the army to oppose you? Do they really have that much influence in the army? If you select a squad of paladins from the Holy Church to join the army, the soldiers will naturally know who is on their side."

"Opposition to your policies within the government? That's the old king's problem. Although we've never met, I think he certainly doesn't want the nobles to take control of the government, after all, this is his country."

"Or... should we clash?"

As he spoke these words, the prince's smile grew wider and wider, until he finally couldn't hold back when he heard the word "fire merger":

"Fire? That's the thing I'm least afraid of." He gently raised his hand, and light gathered between his fingers.

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up—he had seen this starting gesture before, during yesterday's Halloween game.

This is the first step before the Paladin's signature spell, Holy Slash. After gathering light, it can unleash boundless power with a simple swing of the hand.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei felt relieved. A person with evil intentions cannot connect with the Holy Light and become a holy warrior; in any case, this prince genuinely wanted his country and people to become better.

What he said today may not all be implemented, but in any case, it will not be used in areas that harm the people.

"—Oh, there's one more thing." The prince tapped the table and continued, "The police are used to target gangs, so what about the fire department? What's the fire department for?"

"Speaking of fire safety, we have to mention factories..."

……

As we spread the wisdom of our planet—including production order, safety regulations, and protective measures—time quietly slipped from afternoon into night, and it was time for Halloween games again.

Lu Mingfei decided not to go back. Instead, he stayed at the prince's place to organize his equipment and carry his cards—his card holder was always by his side—and prepared to enter the Halloween alternate dimension.

"In that case..." The prince took out a card from his pocket. "Here, take this."

"This is a card I made as practice when I was studying the card-making process. Don't be fooled by its appearance, this is an extremely rare field card. Since I started learning card making, I have made a lot of other cards, but I have only made this one field card."

"You can keep it, or you can refine it. Well, you can come to me if you want to refine it, since religious materials and venues are indeed hard to find, and I can help."

Lu Mingfei picked up the card out of curiosity and began to study it.

Its card depicts a city, with numerous spires, domes, and crosses visible at a glance, but hardly any walls or windows.

City on the Mountain Top

[Attributes: Holy, Just] [Type: Special Location]

[Effect: The pilgrim's destination, the chosen one descends]

[The Pilgrim's Destination: Use this card to randomly summon two Pilgrims every ten turns. The Pilgrims will obey your commands, and each Pilgrim has a different fighting style.]

【Chosen One: Select a unit with the 【Justice】 or 【Holy】 attribute, promote it to the Chosen One, granting it attack/defense/mana bonuses and additional spell damage bonuses】

Hmm... By the way, isn't it said that 'the transmission of knowledge through channels' is prohibited?

Oh, the prohibition on the transmission of knowledge means that people who learn this knowledge shouldn't be allowed to pull off amazing feats without anyone to cover for them. Princes, of course, fall into the category of those who have someone to cover for them, so it's fine...

"A pilgrim is roughly equivalent to a regular level one or two magical spirit, depending on their type," the prince explained enthusiastically.

"Based on my experiments, there are three types of pilgrims:"

"The Sargent Guard is capable of throwing axes for ranged attacks; they are at level one."

"Hospital Knight, capable of healing injured companions in their spare time, is also a Level 1 Knight."

"A single Companion Knight is at Level 1, but if there are other Companion Knights or heavily armored cavalry around, they can be considered Level 2."

"Perhaps we'll see even more pilgrims after the ascension? Who knows?"

Lu Mingfei nodded, stroking the cards.

He was no longer the same person he used to be, so naturally he understood the meaning behind those words—'Only one field card was ever made,' meaning the prince would remember that he gave this card to Lu Mingfei; 'Come find me when you want to upgrade it,' meaning he hoped Lu Mingfei would take the initiative to go to the Holy Land in two years.

What's the purpose of going to the Holy Land? Perhaps they've discovered problems in the implementation of policies during this period and are seeking his solutions; or perhaps the policies have indeed been very effective, and they hope Lu Mingfei can provide some further advice.

The final sentence, "Who can say for sure?", is an incredibly clear reminder:

He couldn't openly deploy more people, so he hoped Lu Mingfei could be more cautious and not attract the attention of the nobles before he had grown up.

Beyond being a paladin, he was indeed a professional prince...
