Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"No problem." Lind raised his hands and shook them. "Let's get to work."

Lind was not too concerned about their marriage. Firstly, in his opinion, getting married at the age of fourteen was still too severe. Secondly, now was not the time to care about such things.

Your life isn't even completely settled yet, so this is not the time to gossip about your colleagues' private lives.

But just because Lind doesn't care doesn't mean others don't care.

Elisa was just chatting and looked like she didn't care, but she was actually observing Lind's reaction carefully. It was obvious that her mother wanted her to marry Lind, and as her fourteenth birthday approached, her mother became more and more proactive.

Last night, Ilufa was even more direct in confronting Elisa, saying that he hoped they would get engaged and let Elisa marry Lind.

In this day and age, children's marriages are still arranged, let alone free love. Many couples may not have seen each other until their wedding night. Ilufa herself is an example.

As a daughter, especially a daughter of a noble family, Elisa had no right to decide her own marriage partner. But she was a mother after all, so Ilfa did not make her final decision.

"If you don't want to, you can tell me before I arrange a matchmaking with Lind. But Alisa, let me remind you that your father is not here now. I can still respect your idea, but when your father comes back..." Last night, Ilufa warned her daughter in a serious tone. "Think about it carefully."

The mother finally gave the choice to her daughter, to agree or refuse.

If it were my father, he would probably marry me to an old man I have never met for the sake of profit...

Elisa decided to answer with silence and marry Linde. Although Elisa was not very happy, she did not object. After all, Linde's excellence was obvious to all, and he perfectly met the requirements for a spouse that she and her mother had mentioned before.

And to put it bluntly, it is still a question whether Linde will agree, after all, there are too many potential competitors.

Even the most ignorant person could see the greedy look in the eyes of those female beastmen.

Lind didn't know what was going on in Elisa's mind. After he sat down, he started a new day's work.

"Sir Stanley, the director of the steel plant, reports that the experiment of using the Linde Magic Energy Machine to forge weapons has been successful. The production efficiency of weapons will be improved in the future."

"Miss Fran, I'm reporting that the first draft of the plan for establishing the Earth Mother Goddess Cult has been completed. The preliminary plan is here. Please review it."

"The experiment of making paper from tree bark was successful. The sample is placed here. Please give your approval on whether we should build a paper mill next."

As the two secretaries presented one thing after another, Linde began to work intensively. In fact, if he could, Linde really didn't want to do this, but there was no other way. If he didn't do it, no one else could.

Most of the news is good news. Territory construction is progressing steadily, and the problems that have arisen are not major and are still within the controllable range.

"How are the humans and the new beastmen getting along?" Lind asked.

"That's good. Although many new beastmen are dissatisfied with accepting commands from humans, as long as you tell them 'this is the mission of the Son of God', most of the new beastmen will obey." Efit replied.

The mission of the Son of God...

The hat of the Son of Mother Earth really can’t be taken off.

"Your Highness, the Son of God." As the work was going on in an orderly manner, Faith, the sow standing guard outside the tent, said through the door curtain. "Someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Lind asked.

"A dog."

"what?"

Linde walked out of the tent with a surprised look on his face, and then he realized that the other party was making a statement. A wolf beastman, kneeling on the ground with wounds all over his body.

"Your Highness, the Son of God!" The other party burst into tears when he saw Lind. "My tribe was massacred!"

Chapter 337 Religious Wars

Outside Lind's office tent, a wolf was kneeling on the ground in a mess, kowtowing to Lind repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.

The wolf beastmen were wearing simple animal skins and were dirty. Even from a distance of several meters, one could still smell the intoxicating body odor of the other party. This was a common situation among beastmen. They didn't take a bath for more than ten days, so it was normal for them to have a refreshing smell. The new beastmen were better, but the smell of the chaos beastmen was really something that people would stay away from.

By the way, Lind forced all the beastmen in the camp to take a bath at least once a week. Although there is still a long way to go to eliminate the body odor of the beastmen, it is a great improvement compared to before.

Compared to the stench, another smell attracted more attention. The smell of blood. This wolf beastman had a bloody smell on his body. Blood stains could be seen everywhere on his animal skin clothes. He was missing one ear, and judging from the fresh wound, it had just been cut off.

"Your Majesty the Beast King!" As soon as the other party saw Lind coming out, he cried even louder and shouted at the top of his lungs. "Everyone in my tribe has been killed!"

"My elderly father! Mother! And my two wives! And the unborn children in their bellies! And everyone in the tribe! They were all killed!" The wolf-beast man cried, his voice hoarse and full of sadness.

Linde listened to the other person's crying and screaming, his eyes widened, and his pupils dilated in shock. Although it was the first time he saw the other person and he didn't know what happened, the content of the other person's crying just now made Linde feel shocked from the bottom of his heart.

"Calm down first..." Linde was shocked by the other party's words. Not only Linde himself, but everyone around who heard the cry was shocked from the bottom of their hearts. In order to figure out what happened, Linde first advised the other party to calm down and explain what happened clearly.

“Calm down first… Forget it, come get someone who knows the soothing spell and help calm him down. He’ll go into shock first if he continues like this!” Seeing that the other party was about to faint from extreme sadness, Lind had no choice but to look up and shout to the people around him, hoping that someone would come.

"I'll do it." Soon, Cynthia, who came over after hearing the noise, responded. She quickly walked to the wolf beastman, took out her mace from her waist, and aimed it at the back of the wolf beastman's head.

Just when Lind was surprised and thought that Cynthia was going to use physical means to appease him, the one-eyed nun muttered unclear words, and the holy light emanated from the skull of the God-Emperor at the tail of the mace, shining on the head of the wolf beastman.

Under the shining of this sacred and dazzling holy light, the wolf beastman's excited emotions stabilized a little. He cried so violently and sobbed continuously.

“May the souls of your family return to the Golden Throne.” After comforting them with magic, Cynthia ended as usual.

"Ahem." A slightly hoarse and slightly charming voice came from the side. Fran, dressed in a nun's uniform, walked over with a cross on her forehead. "Sister of the Emperor, you have crossed the line. Forget about appeasement, but you want to return to the Golden Throne? Have you forgotten the agreement between us!?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but could you please take off your clothes first, respected Miss Shaman, the Mother Earth Goddess!" Cynthia narrowed her eyes and spoke word by word.

Religious issues have always been very difficult to deal with. In the world before time travel, different religions had different worldviews and logics, so it was almost impossible for them to convince each other. As a result, the only way for different religions to communicate was through physics.

The world without gods before the time travel was like this, so this world with gods is even more complicated. Although gods rarely directly intervene in the operation of various religious structures in the real world, when gods exist, believers of different gods, especially clergy, come into contact, even if they don't fight, they can't expect to get along.

This is particularly evident in the current New Dundalk Territory, where minor frictions occur between the Church of the Divine Emperor and the Church of the Mother Earth every now and then. If it were not for Lind, the son of the Mother Earth and the Chosen One of the Divine Emperor, mediating, the Holy War would have been fought several times.

In fact, the two have fought more than once.

"Okay, two beauties, please stop arguing." Seeing that there was a trend of religious war again, Lind quickly choked out the flames. "Sister Cynthia, please rest assured, Sister Fran... No, Fran's shaman costume is only temporary. The uniforms of the clergy of the Mother Earth have been designed and will be completed soon. After completion, Fran will no longer wear the nun's uniform of your church."

"Since you said so..." Cynthia curled her lips and stopped arguing. Although the war sisters were quite extreme in their beliefs, Cynthia would at least give Linde face.

Compared to the Divine Emperor Religion, the belief in the Earth Mother is very primitive, still at the level of primitive religion. In order to facilitate management, Linde intends to standardize the belief in the Earth Mother, and has obtained the Earth Mother's consent.

The matter of God came to an end for now. After all, this was not the focus now. After stopping the friction between the two sisters, Linde looked at the wolf beastman kneeling on the ground.

"Stand up first." Lind said to the other party.

"No! I dare not!" The wolf beastman shook his head in fear.

"...What's your name?" Considering the other party's current state and the obvious need for help from him, Linde hesitated for a moment and did not continue to insist that the other party stand up.

"My name is Tek, Your Majesty the Beast King." The wolf beastman replied.

"Well, Tyke, I deeply sympathize with your experience." Lind nodded. "I know this is a painful memory for you, but I need to know what happened."

"Also, I'm not the Beast King."

"Okay, Your Majesty the Beast King." The wolf beastman named Tek ignored Lind's last words. "About ten days ago, I went out to look for food for my family as usual. Since winter was approaching, food was not easy to find, so I ran a little far."

"After that, I finally caught a strong deer and brought the food home. Then I saw... saw..." When he said this, Tek began to tremble again, with a terrified expression.

Seeing that Tek was getting too excited again, Cynthia picked up the mace and was about to calm him down, but was stopped by Fran. Fran then took the staff with a sharpened end and cast a soothing spell.

"Thank you, honorable shaman." Tek calmed down a bit. "Then I saw a group of humans on horses slaughtering my tribe!"

Chapter 338 The Identity of the Murderer

Tyke was very emotional and nearly fainted several times while describing what happened. This was not surprising, after all, he witnessed the massacre of his family, all his relatives and friends died, including his wife and unborn child.

If possible, Linde didn't want him to recall this painful memory, but there was no way, Linde had to figure out what happened.

Then the answer made Lind stunned.

"What did you say!?" The unexpected answer made Lind stunned. "A human on a horse!?"

"Yes! Your Majesty the Beast King!" Tek affirmed, gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with deep hatred. "It was a group of humans who massacred my tribe!"

"I don't know how many of them there are, but there are a lot of them," Tyke continued. "The leaders are wearing white armor and riding tall horses, and the others are holding various weapons."

"They killed all the beastmen in the tribe! No matter they were old or young!" Tek clenched his fists in anger, lowered his head, and tears flowed down his cheeks. "I immediately rushed over and wanted to fight them, but..."

"My two wives saved me." After saying this, Tek raised his head again and looked at Lind with anger in his eyes. "My two wives were already fatally injured, but they used up their last bit of strength to hold back the man on the horse."

"'Go find His Majesty the Beast King! Avenge us! Don't die in vain!'" Tyke almost growled. "These are the last words of my two wives!"

When Tai Ke finished speaking, the whole place was silent.

The commotion here attracted a lot of onlookers, both humans and beastmen. After listening to what happened to Tek, everyone fell silent.

After a moment's silence, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Lind, the Beast King.

"Mr. Tyke." Linde took a deep breath. "First of all, I want to correct you. I am not the Beast King. Please don't hurt me."

"Second, tell me the other party's characteristics. If you want to take revenge, you must first find out the other party's identity."

"Yes! Your Majesty the Beast King! Thank you very much!" Tek kowtowed again excitedly.

"I already told you I'm not the Beast King!"

Although Lind repeatedly emphasized that he was not the Beast King, Tek seemed to have sensory aphasia. He could hear what Lind said but could not understand his meaning. He just could not understand this one sentence.

In fact, Lind knew that the new beastmen on Aiwozhen Island were treating him as the Beast King. The son of the Earth Mother Goddess, whose status was higher than that of the Chosen One, had beheaded the Beast King of the Chaos Beastmen on the island. If he couldn't be the Beast King, then who could be the Beast King?

As for Lind's race, it's not a beastman, it's a human. Is that a problem? As long as I can have a child with a beastman, it doesn't matter what race it is!

The identity of the Beast King was something Linde could not refuse even if he wanted to. Fran told Linde that Linde was actually the first Beast King of the new Beastmen since their appearance.

For the new beastmen on the island of Ivozhen, there is no two suns in the sky, and Lind is their only sun.

As long as Lind wants, almost all the new beastmen on the entire island of Ivozhen will be happy to do anything for Lind, including giving birth to small animals.

But on the other hand, the Beast King also has the duty and obligation to protect his subjects. Perhaps this is why Tek resolutely ignored Lind's denial that he was the Beast King.

In short, as long as Lind is still on Aiwozhen Island, he can never take off the hat of Beast King, just like the Son of God.

The matter of the Beast King was put aside for the time being. Regarding the characteristics of the attacker, Lind asked Tek for more details.

In addition to himself, Linde also called many relevant personnel over to listen together and brainstorm.

Soon, Taike described the attacker's various characteristics. Unlike before, Taike calmed down when describing the attacker's appearance. This was not because Taike was afraid, or because he forgot his hatred so quickly, but because he was calm after being extremely angry.

"Okay, thank you very much for the important information you provided." After about half an hour, Tek had almost finished explaining the characteristics of the attacker. "Go and have a rest. I will arrange a comfortable place for you to stay. We need to discuss the next steps."

"Well, thank you very much." Tyke nodded vigorously. "I have a request."

"What request?"

"I will kill the man who killed my wife myself." Tek said in a calm tone.

"Okay." Lind nodded lightly.

"Thank you for your kindness." Tek saluted with satisfaction, then turned and left the main tent under the guidance of the guards.

After Tek left, Lind looked at everyone.

"Okay, everyone has heard what Tek said," Lind said. "About ten days away from us, there is a tribe of wolf beastmen that was attacked by an unknown enemy. The entire tribe was slaughtered, and there are not many survivors."

"Mr. Teck has described the attacker's characteristics as well as he could. Who do you think he is?"

"They are humans, not Chaos Beastmen." The first to speak was the Sheep Beastmen Chieftain Benio. "After you killed Mara, the remaining Chaos Beastmen have been roaming around like wild beasts. It is impossible for them to organize an attack of this scale."

"They are very good at killing people." Little rabbit Judy tilted her head and thought. "They are experts in killing people."

"If they were humans, could they be the defenders of Dundalk and Wicklow?" Alyssa frowned. "After the city fell, they fled to the forest and became bandits?"

Everyone was analyzing the possible identities of the enemy. Human and professional soldier were the two most prominent features. Combining these two features, the most reasonable explanation was Elisa's inference.

But Lind keenly grasped a detail. While others were discussing, he was holding a wooden stick and drawing something on the ground.

"Master, are you drawing the pattern that Mr. Tek mentioned?" Efit keenly noticed what Lind was drawing on the ground.

"Yes." Lind nodded.

According to Tek's description, the attackers all had the same pattern on their clothes. According to Tek's description, it was a blood-red, standing monster with huge claws.

Because the description was too simple, especially the lack of clarity on the monster's appearance, no one else took it seriously, but Lind remembered it.

Soon, Lind drew a pattern on the ground and looked at it thoughtfully.

"What is this shield emblem!" Knight Winter was shocked when he saw the shield emblem.

"The Pruya family of Batoran..." Lind nodded slightly.
