Chapter 597
In the bustling hustle, Afandila was like a child who had just obtained a new toy . With an excited smile on his face, he kept trying to cast various sorcery techniques as he walked on the white clouds and left the temple surrounded by the Wizard Li warriors .
"Your Majesty, congratulations . You finally harvested your first most valuable 'seed,'" Charlot looked at the receding figure of the old man who seemed to have regained a new life and looked at Zhang Lisheng with a mixed expression before speaking in a low voice, "With him, your faith in the mainland can finally take root now . "
"This is indeed a happy event, Charlot," Zhang Lisheng smiled . "But there already are high priests among the mainland slaves on Wizard Li Island…"
"That's different, Your Majesty," Charlot interrupted the young man's words, something that he rarely did, "No matter how strong spellcasting power your former mainland followers possess and how high their social status is, they can't make any big impact on the people in Sea Haines City at all . However, a miraculous story like how a lowly poor citizen who had been living in Sea Haines City for several decades has suddenly miraculously obtained the power of casting spells and become a distinguished high priest because of his devout faith, then it would be completely different . This is a complete reversal!"
"I hope so, Charlot," When Zhang Lisheng heard these words, a happy smile spread across his face . He looked up to the sky through the large square door of the temple, and whispered softly, or more like a mutter to himself .
The hardest thing in this world was to make the first breakthrough . The following events had indeed verified Charlot's speculation .
The news of a mad old man living in poverty had miraculously obtained the power of spellcasting and had risen to become the god's high priest that even the barbarian chief warriors respected because of his piety towards the Wizard Li's god spread out one by one through words of mouth . Under the deliberate manipulation of Zhang Lisheng, the second, third, and more mainland high priests, began to appear in a short time in Sea Haines City and the nearby city-states .
Along with the emergence of high priests, the cities began to expand, more and more mainlanders were convinced that the barbarian god was a true god who could grant mighty power to his believers . The hundreds of millions of people who initially had no choice but to go to the temple every morning to pray under the threat of swords and sabers of Wizard Li's warriors slowly began to become conscious of doing so . There was no more prolonged hatred on their faces but was replaced with more awe and submission .
When the seeds of faith were planted in the heart, they soon flowered and sprouted . Gradually, the pet phrase of "Oh my god!" people would say when they were in shock, or to swear and curse, had changed to become "In the name of Wizard Li!" In just a short span of several dozens of days, the foundation of Zhang Lisheng's ruling on one-fifth of the mainland had really started to show signs of being rooted .
At the beginning when the new order was formed, Zhang Lisheng seized the opportunity to successively make several necessary orders to delineate the administrative areas of the enemy, erase the previous concept of the state, and succinctly divided the territory with a system of two city ranks of 'big' and 'small . ' He also shared the land equally to the farmers, lifted forced labor and curfew, and determined the tax ratio .
Not only that, but he also forced all children between the ages of six to fifteen years old to enter school to learn how to write . The schools needed to be integrated with the temple as well .
He even constructed spacious roads in the new ruling land of the mainland, established civilian air routes connecting the Wizard Li Archipelago to various destinations, uniting all of his territories together . At once, he caused a series of changes in the entire Green Leaf Mainland…
In Rhilo Garden, a group of waterfowls flapped their wings and charged into the water surface of a rippling blue-green lake before flying back to the blue sky drenched in water after capturing several small fishes .
In a meeting room of a unique-shaped mansion several hundred meters long that had a dome as its top, a sturdy middle-aged man with raised eyebrows, square nose, big mouth, and a face that was as majestic as a male lion stood in agitation in front of a floor-to-ceiling window inlaid with transparent crystal watching the flying birds in the distance . Sardonically, he snarled, "Even the cormorant eagles also know how to seize the opportunity when the lake fish has just surfaced to attack before they manage to get to swim happily . We've already spent a whole month in vain and watch the Hellfire barbarians slowly set up their ruling after capturing various states like Kattaman and Vanasu! Don't tell me that the kings and prime ministers in the Green Leaf Mainland don't even have the wisdom and courage of a few birds?"
In the meeting room, many of the most influential people could only smile in embarrassment or just cast a sidelong look at somewhere else expressionlessly, in the face of the strong position of the king without a crown of the entire civilized world . Only an elder sitting on a sofa in a dark corner whose whole body was hidden in the shadows said with hatred, "Dear respectful Highness Hoffe, I do not lack in wisdom and courage, but your two imperial guards had just defeated Fran's 25 regiments, the Unihorn and Black Dragon Claws were on the battlefield, so we no longer have the strength to carry out a large-scale part . Well, unless Yassen exempts the war reparations and allows me to use my treasury to recruit new troops . . . "
"Dear King of Fran, who once bragged about being as great as the sun illuminating the Gaia World, do you only know how to hide in a dark corner and tear up your promises?" That strong middle-aged man abruptly turned and looked sharply at the corner of the house and sneered coldly . "How pathetic!"
