Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"Mom and Lind wanted to talk about something," Alisa explained. "Mom said they might talk until late, and I was feeling a little unwell, so I came here."

"Talk about things? Talking until late!?" Efit opened his eyes wide.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Elisa looked at Efit strangely.

A beautiful boy and a beautiful wife who has separated from her husband are alone in a room late at night. Miss, what's wrong? ?

As the saying goes, hardships make people mature early, and this is true for both Elisa and Efit, but the degree of precocity varies from person to person. At least Elisa has no intention of thinking in that direction at all.

Seeing Elisa's bewildered look, Efit knew that this little girl had no vigilance at all. "Miss, how did you stay clean in the dirty and chaotic aristocratic circle?"

After opening his mouth, Efit said nothing in the end, and silently helped Elisa prepare her sleeping supplies.

During this process, Elisa discovered that Efit was always uneasy and seemed to be troubled, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Or maybe she just happens to be feeling uncomfortable during those few days every month?

After the bed was prepared, the two went to sleep. Before going to bed, Efit asked, "What did your mother talk about with Lind?"

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with my aunt." Alyssa said uncertainly. "You saw it too, my aunt almost got into a fight with Lind."

"On one side are the combat nuns who believe in the Emperor of God, and on the other side are... the son of the Mother Earth who claims not to believe in any god. It's not surprising that there would be a conflict." Elisa said with a wry smile.

"Aren't you worried?" Efit asked.

"Of course I'm worried, but I believe my mother will handle it." Alyssa was confident about this.

"Then...if they really fight, who will you help?" There was a strange flash in Efit's eyes.

"Ah?" Elisa was stunned. "Are they really fighting? No, they definitely won't."

"What if? I mean what if," Efit insisted.

"No ifs! I'm going to sleep!"

"You're going to tell me or not! If you don't, I'll tickle you!"

"What are you doing! Get out of here! Stop! Ah! It's going to leak out!"

In the sixth dream, while the two girls were playing an intimate bedtime game, the atmosphere in the main tent between Ilufa and Linde was much more serious.

"Madam, please tell me what you want to say. Please forgive me for being so rude, but I am very tired now and need to rest. Please keep your words brief." Linde said tiredly.

"It's okay. This tent is big enough. Alisa has gone to sleep with the kid Efit. If you're tired, just go to sleep. It's okay." Ilfa said with a bad look.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Linde laughed dryly. "You are already married, leaving a man here..."

"Oh?" Illufa crossed her arms and crossed her legs. "What will happen?"

"That...this..."

"You are so young! How can there be so many messed up things in your head!" Illufa scolded. "You are only twelve years old! What's wrong with being with me!? Do you really think you are an adult!?"

"Sorry..." Lind lowered his head in shame, forgetting that his current body was only twelve years old.

"Really..." Illufa pouted, trying to control the unnatural blush on her face. "Tell me, where did these thirty or so new beastmen come from?"

"Just like before, I came here to preach." Lind explained. "I asked Fran to take us to investigate the Chaos Beastmen she mentioned, and then we found that they were besieging a tribe of New Beastmen. Then I took advantage of the chaos to capture a few of them and transformed them into New Beastmen to increase our strength."

Lind spoke out the words he had prepared long ago. When they found the group of Chaos Beastmen, their attention was focused on the tribe of the New Beastmen, and they didn't notice their existence at all, so Lind ordered to capture a few Chaos Beastmen and bring them back to preach on the spot.

The Chaos Beastmen were originally unorganized and undisciplined, and their attention was all attracted by the camp of the new Beastmen. They didn't even notice that a few of them disappeared in the end, so they kept repeating this process. In the end, they captured thirty Chaos Beastmen and then transformed them all into new Beastmen.

"Although Fenrir looks silly, he is actually the alpha wolf and has the ability to be the leader of this pack of wolves, so I let Fenrir be the wolf king of this group of new beastmen." Linde concluded. "In short, ma'am, don't worry, they won't cause any trouble."

"Okay, next question." Illufa asked with sharp eyes. "Why did you suddenly convert so many new beastmen?"

Chapter 109 Don't Leave Tonight

"Ah?" Linde looked confused at Ilfa's question.

"Don't play dumb." Illufa said solemnly. "You suddenly transformed so many new beastmen. Was it intentional?"

Lind has the ability to transform Chaos Beastmen into new Beastmen. This is the power bestowed upon Lind by the Mother Earth.

Although he was not a believer of the Earth Mother, Ilufa could see that the power that the Earth Mother bestowed on Lind was of a very high level. For believers, the power bestowed by the gods was also different, some were high and some were low. There was no doubt that the power that the Earth Mother bestowed on Lind was of a very high level.

Being able to convert the enemy's believers into his own people and make them obey his orders after a round of physical preaching is something that even many of the chosen ones cannot do.

Maybe Lind really is a being with a higher status than the Chosen One, that is, the Son of God.

But this son of God flatly denied that he believed in the Mother Earth...

Rebellion period?

Ilufa didn't worry too much about Linde's identity, but Linde's ability to transform all the Chaos Beastmen into his own people was very powerful. As long as Linde wanted, he could step by step turn all the Chaos Beastmen on the entire Ivozhen Island into his subordinates and become the Beast King himself.

Not to mention the new beastmen that already exist, for the new beastmen transformed from the chaos beastmen, Lind's power as the son of the Mother Earth is unlimited.

However, because Lind had no intention of becoming a Beast King, and the camp's endurance was limited, Lind had always lacked enthusiasm for transforming Chaos Beastmen. The only few times he had transformed were when the other side came to him. But today, Lind suddenly transformed thirty in one go.

Even a fool could see that there was a problem, let alone Ilfa who was not a fool.

"You suddenly transformed so many new beastmen, exactly thirty of them." Illufa looked at Lind scrutinizingly, tapping his arm with his fingers. "Is it because of the Battle Sisters?"

"If you simply brought back so many new beastmen, I could still think that you did it on impulse, but the number is exactly the same as the number of battle sisters..."

Not only did they transform back into so many new Beastmen at once, but their number was the same as the Sisters of Battle. It was almost as if "I'm targeting the Sisters of Battle" was written on their faces.

Having said that, Linde couldn't play dumb any longer. Linde sighed and said in a serious tone, "Madam, you are also from the Holy Empire. You also know how the Holy Emperor Church treats the Beastmen, right?"

Beastmen are found in every corner of the world. It can be said that wherever there are forests, there are likely to be Beastmen. And in the vast undeveloped forests within the Holy Empire, there are countless Beastmen hidden.

Except for Aiwozhen Island, all the beastmen in other places are Chaos Beastmen. Lind has confirmed this with the Mother Goddess of Earth. As for the Chaos Beastmen, the typical followers of Chaos, the Divine Emperor Church and even the entire Holy Empire have only one word to deal with: kill. The only difference is how to kill.

Of course, Lind would have no objection to this, but if this approach was applied to the new beastmen...

"The existence of the New Beastmen is not known to most people. At least when I was in the Holy Empire, I never heard of the New Beastmen." Lind put his hands together, crossing his fingers. "I'm worried that the group of battle sisters will use the same method they used on the Chaos Beastmen on the New Beastmen."

"No." Ilfa shook her head immediately. "I have already explained it in detail to Shanoya, and she has promised me that she will not attack the new beastmen in the camp."

"But what about her subordinates?" Lind asked seriously. "Can Shanoya really control all her subordinates? In the name of so-called faith, they do extreme things. Haven't we seen this kind of thing often?"

"Madam, you are older than me. You should know more about apostasy than I do, right?" Linde looked at Ilufa with burning eyes.

The Apostasy Incident was one of the three major civil wars in the history of the Holy Empire. The cause of the incident was a large-scale rebellion by a group of fanatical followers of the Divine Emperor Church who were dissatisfied with the Empire's tolerance of other religions. In that incident, a large number of fanatics shouted "For the Divine Emperor!", making the country established by the Divine Emperor full of vitality and almost splitting the Holy Empire.

"Madam, you are Shanoya's sister-in-law. Of course she will listen to you, at least on the surface." Linde said seriously. "But, if her men burn me in the name of the Emperor, what will you do?"

"After all, in name, I am the son of the Earth Mother." Linde said with a deep look in his eyes. "Shanoa almost beat Schnee to death. With this precedent, I can't let her sword hang over my head."

The Mother Goddess of Earth is neither on the blacklist nor on the whitelist of the Holy Empire. For such a god with an ambiguous positioning, no matter what the Divine Emperor Church does to them, nothing will happen to them.

Moreover, in the eyes of some fanatical followers of the Divine Emperor Church, even the gods on the whitelist are abominable heretics who must be purified with fire.

"And, it's not just for myself, it's for you too." After talking about himself, Linde turned the topic to Ilufa. "Right now, the strongest fighting force in the camp is undoubtedly the group of battle nuns of the Divine Emperor Church. Madam, you don't want to be sidelined by the Divine Emperor Church, right?"

After saying that, Lind lowered his head, ready to face Ilfa's scolding, because this was no different from provoking the relationship between Ilfa and Shanoya.

After hearing these words, Ilufa's eyes sparkled.

At such a young age, he already knows the importance of the military, knows that power comes from the military, and knows how to rally the troops to balance power at the first opportunity...

This kid! I absolutely cannot let him go! Alyssa, help me!

While Linde lowered his head, Ilufa tried his best to control his expression. When Linde raised his head again, Ilufa had regained his calm expression.

"Okay, I accept this reason." Ilufa said calmly. "But next time, before you convert so many new beastmen, please consult with me in advance."

"I will."

"Also, were you few able to deal with so many Chaos Beastmen?" Ilfa asked curiously.

"Of course not all of them." Linde scratched his head, yawned, and rubbed his tired eyes. "Um... Madam, it's already late, can we talk tomorrow?"

"Indeed." Illufa nodded. It was already late. "Let's stop here for today."

"Where are you going?" Just as Linde stood up to leave, Ilufa stopped him. "Don't leave tonight, just sleep here with me."

Chapter 110 Building a Church

It was already very late when Lind returned. Due to the lack of lighting, there was no concept of nightlife in this world. Once it got dark, there was nothing to do but sleep.

One of them is a sport.

In short, in this camp where everything is scarce, even the lamp oil has to be used sparingly. If the clouds in the sky are denser and block the moonlight, it will be pitch dark.

Then early the next morning, many people in the camp discovered that Lind had walked out of Ilufa's tent.

As the saying goes, if you are well fed, you will think about sex. If you don't even have enough food, you will have no motivation to work. Although life in the camp was hard, the food supply was always sufficient. Linde also knew that you must eat enough to have the strength to work. Therefore, although food was tight, Linde tried his best not to let the serfs starve.

After eating, the gossipy souls in some people began to wander, especially when they saw Linde walking out of Ilufa's tent with a tired look.

One is a handsome boy who is not yet an adult, and the other is a lonely wife whose husband is away.

What a classic combination!

Some people with rich imagination have their thoughts flying to the sun, that is, the sun.

Although their thoughts were full of energy, they were not brave enough to speak out their inner thoughts. Therefore, as usual, after Linde arranged and assigned today's work, all the serfs began a new day of work.

The camp suddenly had sixty more people, and the number of mouths to feed nearly doubled. As the labor force increased, the resources needed also doubled, and both the new beastmen and the battle sisters consumed more resources than ordinary people.

Needless to say, the new beastmen are active and eat a lot. Just by looking at the weight they carry, you can imagine that the battle sisters must have a lot of appetite. There is no need to worry about the meals of the battle sisters for the time being, because they also brought some food and supplies. Although the ship ran aground, all the supplies were taken down.

Through Ilufa, Lind learned about the food reserves of the battle sisters. Because they left in a hurry and had no plan to stay on Ivozhen Island for a long time, the battle sisters did not carry much supplies. If they only consumed them themselves, they could only last about a month.

One month later, we still have to find a way to solve the food problem for these combat nuns.

It takes a month to harvest the crops blessed by the Mother Earth. Due to lack of experience, it is hard to say how much can be harvested. In order to maintain sufficient water supply, Elisa was assigned by Lind to use magic to water the farmland every day.

Asking a magician to water the land with magic every day, the magicians of the entire Holy Empire would be so surprised that their eyes would pop out and they would say "I can't afford it". This is no longer a luxury, and under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that a magician would be willing to condescend to do such a "lowly" job, no matter how much money is offered.

Rather than watering the fields every day, most magicians would rather take half the money or even less and go to the nobles' banquets to set off fireworks or perform other low-level magic to entertain the nobles whose faces are covered with lead powder.

Elisa didn't object to spraying water on the farmland every day. It was work, and spraying water was also work. She didn't think it was a lowly job. Besides, she was also very clear about the importance of food. Even if she took a step back, this wasn't the Holy Empire, and her annoying classmates weren't here. No one would laugh at her for this.

Letting the precious magicians be sprinklers was just a rights measure, after all, the food problem was the most urgent thing right now. Without black silk, people would only lose some happiness, but without food, they would die. But letting the magicians spray water every day was indeed a waste, when there were obviously more things they could do, so the construction of a waterwheel was also put on the agenda.

Then, Lind sighed deeply, there was not enough iron!

Although the waterwheel is mainly made of wood, some parts need to be made of iron. In today's camp, all metals are in serious shortage, and many metal tools are used sparingly and made do with what they can.

Without iron, there's no way you can have a steam engine. Without a steam engine or something similar, there's no way you can even think about building a technology tree.

Although the camp was still in its infancy, lacking everything and with a lot of problems to be solved, Linde always kept the steam engine in mind. Linde still clearly remembered the convenient and developed industrial society before the time travel.

No matter which aspect, this world is far behind. Take drinking water for example. All drinking water comes from the rivers in the arms. Lind has seen the corpses of wild animals flowing down the river more than once.

Human civilization has been around for thousands of years, but the real technological explosion lasted only a hundred or two hundred years, which is the Industrial Revolution. In order to trigger the Industrial Revolution, a powerful power machine that is universal, reliable, and simple in principle must be developed.

Whether it is to increase his strength to protect himself or to make himself live more comfortably, Lind needs this thing.

Of course, general power components represented by steam engines are only part of the Industrial Revolution, and Linde also remembers other needs. However, no matter which model is adopted, the first problem that needs to be solved must be the agricultural problem.

There are suddenly one more mouth to feed in the camp. The battle nuns can solve their own food problems within a month. Although the number of new beastmen has increased, it also means more hunting, so the food problem can be solved for the time being.

In order to maintain irrigation, the construction of irrigation canals has also been put on the agenda. After all, as an important worker... a magic apprentice, there are still many areas where Elisa needs to shine.

The local farmers knew how to dig canals, but they didn't know how to build water wheels. Linde also didn't know how agricultural technology in this world developed. Based on Linde's descriptions and diagrams, the carpenters quickly understood what Linde meant and began to build.

In addition to the canals and water wheels, another problem that gave Lind a headache was the planning of new facilities for the camp.

"We need to build a church here." Shanoya told Lind about her needs in the main tent of Ilufa. "The keel of the ship has been damaged and cannot be repaired. We cannot go back in a short time, so we want to build a church."

"My sister-in-law said that you are the person in charge of the camp construction, and all the land use in the camp requires your approval, so I hope you can agree, Sir Lind."

The atmosphere between Linde and Shanoya was still a bit tense, after all, they had a big fight.

But if you want to build a church...

Chapter 111: Treat Everyone Equally

When Lind learned that a group of combat nuns and clergymen came from the Holy Empire, and that the ship they were on was completely destroyed and could not be repaired, he had expected this to happen.

Build a church.

The level of civilization in this world is very similar to that of the European Middle Ages in the previous life, at least in human society. As the original owner was not yet an adult, he knew very little about the societies of other races. When it comes to the Middle Ages, although castles and knights are often the most prominent labels, religion actually has the greatest impact on society.

The religions in this world also have a huge influence, and because gods really do appear, the influence is even greater than in the previous life, to the point where religious sites have to be built before a city is even built.

"I observed the camp here and found that there are no churches or monasteries here." Shanoya expressed her thoughts. "This is a serious problem. Without churches or monasteries, the glory of the Emperor cannot spread here, and the people will be confused and fall into the abyss of chaos."
