Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"You were... in the convoy that fled with me?" Lind pretended to reminisce.

"Eh? You really don't remember?" The other party pouted in dissatisfaction. "Let me remind you, on the ship."

"Remember, you came here on the same boat with me." Lind smiled. "Efit, right?"

"Correct answer~" The girl named Efit snapped her fingers cheerfully.

Before the other party reminded him, Lind remembered that he had met the other party on the ship from the Holy Empire to Ivozhen Island.

At that time, because he had not traveled through time, the original Lind was still on the boat, so it took Lind a while to recall.

I remember her because of her beautiful appearance and the small interactions they had. When on the ship, Efit was targeted by gangsters because of her outstanding appearance. Efit was alone without any relatives or friends, so she fell into danger. It was Lind who couldn't stand it and took the initiative to stand up and rescue Efit.

"Thank you so much for that time." Efit laughed heartily. "I didn't expect you to be the Earl's man."

Lin De smiled and didn't respond, but it was not surprising that she thought so.

"Can we begin?" After a brief reminiscing, it was time to get down to business.

"Yeah." Efit nodded obediently, then stood up straight opposite Lind.

"Name."

"Efit Blaine."

"age."

"Thirteen years old. And it's very rude to ask a lady her age."

"Profession."

"Prisoner." Efit's mouth twitched. "The crime is brewing and selling bootleg liquor and not paying taxes."

Compared with other prisoners who simply could not pay taxes, Efit's crimes were much more diverse.

"Can you brew wine?" Linde's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Yes~" Efit nodded proudly. "My family has been making moonshine since my grandfather. I am the third generation. Let me tell you, the moonshine I make is of top quality. Even those dwarfs in the mountains love it."

"Also, I can read, do math, and manage supplies." Efit added. "After my parents died, I ran my family's tavern on my own, and it was well managed. If I hadn't been caught selling bootleg liquor by accident, I would have built a bigger store by now."

The more Linde listened, the brighter his eyes became. He could brew wine, read, do math, and even manage materials. He was a very important talent at this stage. Among the other fifty people, only four could read, and one of them was at the level of how are you.

Compared with her skills, her outstanding appearance is insignificant.

Of course, words are not enough, so to be on the safe side, Lind asked her to demonstrate it on the spot. She first wrote a few sentences specified by Lind, and then did some simple math problems mentally to make sure that she was telling the truth.

Moreover, the technology of winemaking cannot be ignored. In addition to drinking, wine has many uses.

Talent, rare talent, must not be let go.

If I get a chance I must talk to Ilufa and ask her to come over and be my secretary.

Soon, the registration of all the information was completed, including the four new beastmen, the Minotaur sisters, Schnee, and Thrall. Linde was a little hesitant about whether to register their information, but in the end they all came forward on their own initiative.

There were also many problems when registering new beastmen. For example, Katie wrote that they were good at killing people, Kitama was good at producing milk, and Thrall had shaman skills. Schnee simply didn't understand what Linde said, and didn't know what they were good at or what their profession was. She couldn't even tell how old she was this year.

In the end, Lind had no choice but to write "cute mascot" on his skill, and he didn't know if other people could understand it.

You can't just write "fart", right?

The registration of information of more than fifty people was completed very quickly. At the end, Lind even wrote his own information, which surprised Ilufa.

"Are you going to write your own too?" Ilufa looked puzzled.

"Yes." Linde said as a matter of course. "Am I also a member of the construction camp?"

Seeing Linde write his message, Ilufa and Elisa looked at each other, and Ilufa picked up the pen and wrote his own message.

Seeing that her mother had finished writing, Alyssa followed suit and filled in her own information.

They were nobles, and their names could not be written together with those of commoners. They had subconsciously thought so, but when they saw Lind write his own name, they followed suit.

After all the registrations were completed, all the information was summarized here by Lind, and everyone's situation was clear at a glance.

Everyone has what skills and can do what, and everything is collected. In this way, when assigning tasks, the efficiency of personnel allocation will be increased exponentially.

After a preliminary look at the personnel list, at first glance, they were all prisoners, but their skills were quite wide-ranging. Most of them were listed as farmers, but there were also carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, miners, hunters, tailors, etc. These were all valuable technicians, and Lind even saw one listed as a prostitute.

It is indeed the profession with the longest history.

However, these technical jobs are of no use for the time being. The priority now is to build the camp. Moreover, as long as the ships of the Holy Empire arrive in time, this camp will not need these technical jobs to work.

Soon, based on this list, Lind quickly divided everyone into different work teams, responsible for different tasks, and appointed a team leader for each work team, giving priority to those who could read.

After the division of labor was completed, with Ilufa's order, everyone started working, some cutting trees, some clearing the land, some digging drainage ditches, some fetching water, and the whole camp was now in order, unlike the previous mess.

Looking at everyone busy at work, Lind couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

Chapter 55: Being Targeted by the Evil God

Looking at all the people who started to build the camp in an orderly manner under Lind's plan, a sense of heroism rose from my heart.

Farming! Farming!

This scene reminded Linde of the farming novels he had read before traveling through time.

For various reasons, the protagonist builds territories, explores technology trees, and eventually creates a powerful country that stands at the top of the world.

Romantic, this is how Lind feels.

Make an analogy with a game called Savage... Civilization 6 that I played before traveling through time. Now it’s basically all about immigration and city building.

Since the first sprout of life underwater... No, not that long ago.

You built many cities with stone and witnessed the rise and fall of early empires... This is about the same. The Holy Empire in my memory seems to be the level of civilization from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance, if we ignore the unscientific magic and various gods.

The Dundalk settlers came from the Holy Empire, so the camp they built now should belong to the civilization of the Holy Empire. What are the characteristics of the civilization of the Holy Empire? What are the special buildings and special units? Who is the leader? What are the preferences?

A series of random thoughts made Lind's mind run wild like a wild horse.

Shake your head and put all these trivial things behind you.

Standing on the stone and looking at the busy territory, Linde suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the things before the time travel.

Mobile phones, the internet, computers, notebooks, and black silk stockings, these things, are not available in this world. Although there is magic, it is obviously not enough to let you play a game of Civilization VI or Europa Universalis 6.

If we start from this camp and develop civilization, how long will it take to create black silk?

He tilted his head to look at Ilfa beside him, the beautiful Countess, who was looking at him with admiration.

"Linde, your method is very useful." Ilufa touched Linde's little head lovingly. "I really want to be your mother."

Kitama, who was clearing weeds on the ground, instinctively raised his head and looked at Ilufa with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Efit, who was assigned to count the supplies on the carriage, secretly looked at Lind with a playful smile on his face.

The next moment, Lind seemed to see the camp in front of him changing rapidly.

A camp sprang up from the ground, and then the camp changed at a very fast speed, becoming larger and larger, and finally turned into a huge city.

After the city was built, it expanded to the entire Ivojin Island, and eventually unified the entire Ivojin Island, establishing an independent and powerful kingdom.

After the kingdom was established, the one who ascended the throne was not Ilufa, nor her husband whom she had never met, but herself!

Since the establishment of the camp, the kingdom has grown to such a scale, all thanks to Lind. The people are not calling for their lord, but Lind, and even call for Lind to be the king.

Ilufa followed the will of the people and gave up the throne to Linde by marrying him off. In the grand palace hall, Linde sat on the king's throne, and the bride team led by Ilufa walked towards him. In the team were Alisa, Katie, Kitama, Schnee, Efit, and a bunch of beauties he had never seen before.

It was this scene that woke Linde up.

I shook my head vigorously, and the hallucination was swept away, leaving the camp still under construction in front of me.

(Evil God!!) Lind shouted in his heart with gritted teeth. He knew that this was the work of the Evil God again.

(Hehe~) The evil god's ethereal laughter full of temptation sounded in my mind. (Boy~ you have a strong will~ I just don't know how many times you can resist temptation?)

(Mother Earth Goddess!) Lind knew that his own will alone could not completely expel the influence of this bitch, so he immediately called upon another god.

(I'm here. I was a little busy just now.) Soon, the voice of the Earth Mother Goddess sounded. (I... why are you here again!?)

(I can be wherever I want to be, and you, old woman, have no right to interfere!) The Mother Goddess of Earth discovered the Evil God, and the Evil God said to Shen Qi in a spoiled tone.

(Help me drive her away!) Linde shouted to the Earth Mother.

(Hehe~ Xiao Linde~ Let’s do this for now. We have plenty of time. We can play slowly later~) The voice of the Evil God became farther and farther away until it dissipated like smoke.

(Linde, are you okay?) After the God of Evil left, the Mother Goddess of Earth asked with concern.

(It's fine for now, but I can't say for sure in the future.) Lind said with lingering fear. (I don't have the confidence that I can survive every time.)

The previous experience made Lind look down on the so-called evil god. So what if it was an evil god? He was still easily rejected by him.

But what happened just now sounded a wake-up call for Linde. Not to mention the other evil gods, the attack of the evil god was really too terrifying.

People have desires, and desires are one of the driving forces that keep people alive, but everything has its limits. Once desires exceed a certain limit, it will be difficult to resist them by willpower alone.

The reason why drug addiction is difficult to quit is that the sensory stimulation is too intense, far beyond the limit of will.

Lind admitted that the illusion of the evil god just now made him shamefully tempted. He could still resist it this time, but if it continued to happen in the future, he would be tempted. After all, it was impossible for a person to keep his emotions stable all the time, and there would always be unstable lows.

(I can help you reach the Whisper of the God of Evil, but I can't pay attention to you every moment.) Mother Earth said apologetically.

(Is there a way to completely expel the influence of the evil god?) Lind asked. (Is it not possible even though I have your stigmata on me?)

Without belief in God, God cannot exert more influence on believers, but He can still exert a certain degree of basic influence, which people cannot refuse. Therefore, there is still a faint feeling left in Lind's lower abdomen.

It's like a mark on your body that is difficult to get rid of.

(Completely expel the evil god's faith?) Mother Earth thought about it. (There is a way, but... I'm afraid it's not very realistic.)

(Let me tell you about it first.)

(Let the God of Sin put the holy marks on you.) Mother Earth Goddess replied. (The holy marks and divine power of the God of the same origin are mutually exclusive. The influence of two Gods of the same origin cannot exist on the same individual at the same time. I am the God of the Plague, and you are already my chosen one. Therefore, as long as you do not convert to the God of Plague, the God of Plague cannot release his power directly on you.)

(I understand. In other words, as long as the God of Evil's co-origin God places her holy marks on me, I can completely get rid of the God of Evil's harassment, right?) Lin De suddenly realized. (Then the matter is simple. Who is the God of Evil's co-origin God? Can you introduce her to me? Is she free now?)

(That’s the problem.) Mother Earth said with a wry smile. (The evil gods have no co-origin gods.)

(ah?)

(Except for the Plague God, the Chaos Evil God has no co-origin god.)

Chapter 56: Slacking off

In this world, belief in God is a very important component, and the entire society is filled with a strong religious atmosphere, much like the European Middle Ages on Earth.

Religion permeates every aspect of people's lives and is everywhere. Not only humans, but almost all known intelligent races believe in some gods, as if they will die if they don't believe in gods. Not only intelligent races, but also less intelligent races generally believe in some gods, such as Chaos Beastmen who believe in Chaos Evil Gods.

In addition to seeking peace of mind, the most important function of belief in God is to resist the temptation of other gods. Believing in a certain god is equivalent to worshipping a certain pier, and being protected by the god. But believing in a certain god does not mean that you will not be tempted by the blessings of other gods, just like the boss of other gangs and societies offering a price to recruit people.

Suddenly I feel that gods snatching believers is similar to gangsters snatching territory...

In short, a devout belief in a certain god cannot completely prevent the evil god from tempting you. Whether you can hold yourself back in the end depends on your own will and the importance you attach to the god you believe in.

If God values ​​you enough, he will help you drive out evil spirits. If not, it all depends on how firm your own faith is.

But exceptions always exist. Gods of the same origin can protect believers from being harassed by evil gods of the same origin. As long as believers do not commit suicide, the Mother Goddess of the Earth can protect her believers from being harassed by the God of Plague.

Then among the four gods of chaos, only the God of Plague has a corresponding god of the same origin.

(The evil god has no co-origin god!?) Lind said in surprise.

(Not only the God of Evil, the God of Blood and the God of Weirdness also have no common god.) Mother Goddess of Earth said regretfully.

This is troublesome. I have been targeted by the evil god. If I keep having these hallucinations, I will fall into his trap sooner or later.

In fact, I almost fell for it just now. If the brides had worn black stockings in the last scene, I might have really fallen for it.

(How did the homologous god come into being?) Lind asked.

(The division of faith.) Mother Earth Goddess replied. (This is just my own speculation. In order to give birth to the same god, believers need to be divided.)

(For example, I was born in the great war more than four hundred years ago. In that war, the Chaos Beastmen, who were mainly herbivorous, were unwilling to die for the evil god. In addition, they instinctively loved nature, and finally split off from me.)

(If you want the other three evil gods to give birth to gods of the same origin, I guess you need to do something similar.)

It is indeed very troublesome, not just ordinary trouble.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. The current situation is that I'm being targeted by the evil god.

The Mother Goddess of Earth can help him drive away the evil god, but it is impossible for the Mother Goddess of Earth to pay attention to him all the time. Unless he actively calls her, it will be difficult for the Mother Goddess of Earth to realize that she is being entangled by the evil god.

As I said, I can resist temptation again and again, but I cannot guarantee that I can resist all temptations forever. After all, people change.
