MC's career as foreign lord

"Is this the place?" Compared to before, when they could only talk at the entrance or in some of the more dilapidated parts of the territory, the territory now has made a lot of progress. They have a lot of space in that high-rise building.

After all, there isn't any so-called "skyscraper" on this continent yet, which means that the floors Zhou Ren prepared are actually not very useful. The population in the territory is not as large as he imagined. Even with so many races combined, they can't even fill a single building.

Most of the floors are still vacant. Even though a high-rise building has already been used in the market for special operations, or what could be called a sales and investment building, there is still plenty of space for them to do other things.

It is precisely because of this that they have specially set up a floor for various receptions or residences for VIPs, which can also be considered as separating them from the public, so as not to cause any topics.

Or it can be said that in order to prevent these powerful professionals from having conflicts with ordinary people, even those merchants with lower levels and ordinary people of various races are arranged in another building, so there doesn't seem to be much of a problem now.

These visitors are also very calm, as if they have come not to an ordinary territory in the main world, but to a god kingdom of a Lord.

Especially after they saw Zhou Ren walk in, they subconsciously stood up from their seats. The two angels even spread their wings on their backs, which seemed a little cramped in this 5-meter-high floor.

And of course, this is not the end. The words of the two Seraphim made the people of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth present a little shocked.

"Your Excellency, we are here on the order of Lord Lathander to be your guards this time!" The words of the two angels shocked several people, including the Pope.

They may have heard of this man from their goddess, who doesn't want the position of a god, or even faith, but only needs such a platform, so they try to elevate him in their hearts.

After all, being able to know so much and even being able to contact various gods and even some supreme-level gods, so that their Church of Wealth did not receive any harassment from the positive forces during this preparation process, is such an incredible thing. You must know that in the events of other gods ascending, not to mention being harassed, even being directly destroyed is not uncommon.

But they never expected that this young man, who is only an ordinary person, has no energy fluctuations on his body, and even his psionic power is only a curse, not other things, but he is called "Your Excellency" by the two angels.

The word "Your Excellency" is never said for fun. All those who bear this word must pay the price for this word, because this is the pressure that only gods can bear, but the young man in front of him seems to be unremarkable.

"I thought an angel would take the initiative to come to me, it's a bit of a pity!" Zhou Ren said with a smile, but he didn't say where he regretted it, "Say hello to Lathander for me!"

His words confirmed his identity. If he didn't have a godhead, who would dare to call Lathander's name directly without any honorifics?

The two angels also seemed to think that what he said was okay. After nodding lightly, they stood behind him. Since the two of them said they were here to guard him, it was naturally impossible for them to do anything excessive.

Doing their job as guards is much more important than some other special events. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to the people of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. As expected, the old Pope is a woman, just like the Goddess of Wealth herself. She still prefers people of the same gender as herself.

At this time, they also quickly gathered their surprise. This is not the main purpose. There is no conflict between the two sides. After the surprise, they naturally have to make clear the cooperation between them.

"On behalf of the Goddess, greetings to Your Excellency!" The Pope's speed was not slow, and a smile had already appeared on her face at this time.

Zhou Ren sat down in a grand manner, sitting in the center of the room in the position of the master. Since they have already corrected their attitude, let's have a good talk.

"I remember that all the agreements between you and us have been signed, right? Even the gold coins have been made and delivered to you all after working overtime?" Zhou Ren said, taking the initiative from the start. After all, he is not here to wait for someone to question him.

Due to the change in the identities of the two parties, the female Pope's attitude was even more cautious than that of the bishop who came to find Zhou Ren at the beginning, "Your Excellency, we have brought the goddess's instructions. She wants us to have a real agreement with you!"

"What is a real agreement?" Zhou Ren was very curious. If this Goddess of Wealth really takes this opportunity to directly enter the powerful divine force, the allies should be those few powerful characters in the righteous camp. If there are no accidents, it should be Lathander, Corellon, and that not-so-famous God of Justice.

Moreover, since their area still has the coronation of the Dragon God, Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon God, will still join their camp without accident. Now that the entire Mount Celestia is almost standing behind him, what is there to fear?

"She hopes that when you hold up the kingdom of God, you can truly step onto the stage and be able to form an alliance with her!" The female Pope said such words, which made Zhou Ren laugh a little speechlessly.

"I am just an ordinary person now. Not to mention holding up the kingdom of God, maybe I won't even appear in this world after a hundred years, so why sign such a covenant?" He shook his head and was not ready to accept the other party's opinion.

This Goddess of Wealth seems to know a lot, but so what? He is not prepared to form an alliance with the other party, and naturally he is not prepared to send himself directly to the other party to be a target.

It's still the same sentence, an ancient god who has spent endless years, does not know how many backhands he has, or even has his own realm advantages among different high-level gods, even if he suddenly achieves a powerful divine force, most people will think it is his accumulation.

But once this matter is magnified to a new type of god that has not appeared for tens of thousands of years, it is completely different. This is even a special change, or even a more novel unique law, which means that all gods will… have a new opportunity to be promoted!

This is completely different from how the Goddess of Wealth relies on wealth or other authorities to advance, meaning that the authorities that had been completely squeezed clean by the gods are now thoroughly cracked. On the continent that had already been divided, there are now brand-new and completely unique new rights.

All the gods can rely on such power to go further!

When his own safety is not completely guaranteed, he certainly won't make such a mistake. People who make mistakes at ordinary times should already be dead at this time. Only cautious people can survive steadily in this dark forest-like environment.

So Zhou Ren's answer was, of course, an immediate refusal. In fact, he also had very legitimate reasons for refusing.

"So even though Waukeen has already talked to me, I still choose to refuse!" Zhou Ren said, looking at the female Pope with a strange gaze, "Instead of thinking about how to persuade me to agree, why don't you think about what you should do tomorrow?"

This is what the Church of the Goddess of Wealth needs to consider. Zhou Ren has built the framework and created the template of the entire world for them. If they still cannot form certain norms or scale through their own efforts at this time, then he can't help it.

Seeing that this lord was so determined, the female Pope naturally didn't have any particularly good solutions. They were just here to offer an opinion, but they didn't dare to say anything else.

To put it bluntly, for them, neither of these two is something that a mere Church of the Goddess of Wealth can handle. In other words, even if Zhou Ren is just a mortal now, judging from his tone of addressing the Goddess as if she were a colleague, they know he is not easy to provoke.

All churches deeply understand a truth: they will not participate in any battles between gods, even if it may only be a verbal conversation.

Because the gods themselves are capricious, they will not vent their anger on another god who is talking to them, but will vent their anger on you, the guy who joined in. After all, it is difficult to kill a god, but humans can be dealt with however you want.

"Your will!" They didn't say anything more. Leaving completely after conveying their own opinions was the best choice, otherwise, they might not even know how they died.

"Waukeen's idea is good, but she hasn't thought about what price they would have to pay if they really pushed me out," Zhou Ren shook his head and turned his gaze back to Mosa, wanting to see if his attendant had any good suggestions.

"I remember that you Redstone people have almost finished your research, right? I wonder if there are any Redstone machines that can be shown to them?"

Hearing Zhou Ren's words, Mosa raised his head in confusion. He remembered that his master had said that Redstone machines, which are based on Redstone, a substance with almost unlimited energy, should not be spread casually, otherwise, it would cause wars between various churches and gods throughout the continent, and that would be their fault.

"Master…" As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Ren knew what he was going to say, so he smiled and shook his head, indicating that his guess was actually wrong.

I don't want to make your research public, nor do I want to use this thing as a bargaining chip to release it. But we have to be prepared sooner or later. In case one day we completely fall out with the gods, these things can serve as our guarantee.

His words were very thorough, and Mosa immediately understood. Indeed, the agreement between humans and gods can never be complete. Perhaps they can go further with the elves, but the many gods on the continent may not think so.

"If we follow your words, we are actually fully prepared!" Mosa said, "Whenever you want to take action, we have the opportunity to do it!"

Zhou Ren nodded. His main purpose in making these preparations was just to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances, not for his own benefit, so at this time, it was just preparation.

The two continued to walk forward and soon left the reception hall, with the two Seraphim following them like shadows behind them.

"You guys go and rest first. I'll find you after the real opening tomorrow!" Zhou Ren said. With two angels behind him, it was actually not easy to officially start anything.

Whether the Lord of Dawn has good intentions or bad intentions, it doesn't matter. All he needs is the attitude of a world. Zhou Ren also understood this, so he didn't make any defenses or manipulations.

Anyway, it's just two more junglers. Maybe they can be used as two high-level combat forces at some point. These two angels are both true legends.

For the Church of Dawn, transferring two celestial beings to the main world without losing any of their attributes is a very difficult thing in itself. If the orcs want to attack tomorrow, maybe the two angels can give them more surprises.

"Yes!" Although they didn't find out anything, the two angels still left from behind them very steadily. Only then did Zhou Ren speak.

"I wonder if they will spread the news about what happened here. They definitely will, right? Otherwise, there would be no point in them coming here!"

"It seems that even among the gods of justice, there are people who disagree!" Mosa said. Neither of them was surprised by this. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a situation where two angels had to be forced into their ranks. With his understanding of Lathander, the Lord of Dawn would not do such an unwise thing.

"That's normal, but if everyone was like the Lord of Dawn, really for justice and not for other things, I would be a little puzzled!" Zhou Ren said. He thought of the sun god mentioned in the words, and wondered what these people were sending the ancient sun god down for?

In myths and legends, the relationship between the ancient sun god and the current Lord of Dawn is a bit like mother and son, but also a bit like companions. Anyway, at least the relationship is close enough. I wonder when she will arrive?

Zhou Ren covered his head. Why does he feel like he's only been slacking off for a day or two, and so many things have piled up on him? He still has to go find that little old man who he's been neglecting for the past few days.
