The head guard narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. His feelings were as if it was stored in the forest on a snowy night, with countless and indescribable changes - thousands of feelings.

Snowy nights are definitely not a suitable place to live. If you have the means and ability, you will definitely move out of here.

This is the situation since the first grand duke who appeared in Xueye. It has never changed at all. There is a way but the ability but no choice to leave?

Apart from the Grand Duke of Xueye, only these followers and descendants of the guards who followed the first Grand Duke back then.

It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but that I can’t give up this honor.

After all, from the beginning of obtaining the "Opening Certificate" to the establishment of the Snow Night Castle, they put in all their efforts in nearly two generations - the first Snow Night Lord, who had the power of a great wizard, passed away in just five years of reign, and the people who followed him passed away at an earlier time.

The second Grand Duke of Xueye was obviously not as powerful as his father. He was already old when he was promoted. Even if he did his best to serve the Snow Night Castle, he was just too willing but not enough. He also passed the throne to the third Grand Duke of Xueye for less than three years, and passed away in the same year.

In less than ten years, three grand dukes were replaced.

For other places, this is simply incredible, but it is regarded as common sense on snowy nights - after all, when the first snowy night grandpa applied for a "certificate of opening up", everyone was not optimistic about him and the places he chose; in fact, it proved that it was indeed the case.

But, similarly, if it is really a good territory, how could the first generation of Snow Night Duke have any affairs?

You should know that in the century since the founding of the Wizarding Dynasty, one-half of the land in Lorrant had their own masters.

As for the rest?

It is either like a snowy night and the environment is harsh, or because there are too many ferocious beasts, it is not suitable for living at all.

Therefore, every snowy Lord Duke is heartbroken when he leaves. But there is no reason to stop him - as a lord, you cannot provide a comfortable and safe living environment for the order, so you cannot make the people contribute your obligations.

Rights and obligations are always mutual!

Even if some wizard nobles didn't care in their hearts, they still followed the rules on the surface - because this was the first wizard emperor. The rule set by His Majesty Hull.

No one dared to object to this.

What's more, every Grand Duke of Xueye is known for his kindness and kindness. It is obviously impossible for such a lord to do something that he wants to do without his heart.

However, it is precisely because of such kindness, kindness, and morality that every Da Gong of Xueye is not short of followers.

Just like this Lord Eke, as the chief guard of the Grand Duke of Snow Ye, his family has served in the Grand Duke of Snow Ye for more than five generations. Although it cannot be traced back to the fifth Grand Duke of Snow Ye. However, from the sixth term to the eleventh Grand Duke of Snow Ye are all served by their family.

Therefore, this guard chief has absolutely known Xue Ye, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has seen the thousands of changes in Xue Ye - from the lonely inner castle, which is less than a thousand people, to the current outer castle, complete villages and towns, with a population of 50,000. This change has been participated in.

So, he knew very well how much each Grand Duke of Xueye had paid.

In fact, every snowy night grand duke does not live long. Compared with their respective strengths, they are even short-lived. The reason for this is nothing more than overwork. Just imagine a person who often does not rest for several weeks, and all the problems are not so difficult to confirm.

The tenth Grand Duke of Xueye died at the age of forty, a man's golden age.

The eleventh Grand Duke of Xueye succeeded to the throne when he was twelve years old, and began to control the entire Duchy of Xueye at an unbelievable young age. Although he was an adult at the age of sixteen in the Wizarding Dynasty, there was still four years between the age of twelve and the age of sixteen, and even... he was just a child.

However, it was such a child that did not collapse and separate the Duchy of Snow Night, but was still thriving.

Most people think this is a genius and are recognized by people.

However, only the chief guards and a few would understand what their grand duke had paid for the Snow Night Principality - reviewing all documents all night, and seizing all the time to learn everything that could serve the Snow Night without any private time; if it weren't for him and Hodza who had strictly stipulated the rest time.

I'm afraid their grand duke will be the shortest-lived Grand Duke of Snowy Night.

They think that their grandfather has done a good job, and it is already good enough for both the grandfather’s age and ability.

However, even so, some "criminals" for no reason always come to their young grand duke.

The so-called "king (grand duke) assembly" will always point the finger at their grand duke and start to find fault in all aspects.

The head guard knew very well that this was just that those great dukes wanted to have some fun in a boring life.

But it was precisely because of this that he became even more angry.

Because, for the other party, it is just a fun thing, but for them, it is a real insult!

However, such insults will inevitably not last for a long time, because... they have an opportunity that other principalities cannot imagine, or a genius!

As the chief guard of the Grand Duke, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, but he highly praised the "Master Qiao"; he praised this "genius" more than once in public, and no one who heard it opposed it, and he praised it in unison.

Because, this "Master Qiao" not only selflessly took out his own improved potion as bargaining chips to open up the business path of Xueye, but also allowed the initiative of this business path to be always in the hands of Xueye. When he thought of the ugly faces of those merchants when he went to buy food before the winter of previous years, and the humble and flattering appearance of those merchants now.

The guard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but nothing should be left behind!

Although it is not necessary to hold grudges as a man, the guard has a very good memory when facing those hateful merchants - buying food in a place requires only one-half or even less, and they not only need to spend more, but also face various contempt.

‘Oh, it’s the poor guys on the snowy night again!’

‘Damn, they always show up on time every winter!’

‘I heard that their female grandfather didn’t even have a dress!’

...

Every time I recall such words, the chief guard's inner anger will be even more.

Therefore, when Master Qiao suggested that he had to obtain the "qualification" if he wanted to buy potions from him, and defined this "qualification" as food, medicinal materials, etc., the chief guard gave a very accurate quantity without hesitation. As a snow night man, the chief guard knew everything around him better than Master Qiao.

Of course. The discussion that day did not only talk about this, but also the extension from here - for example: how to use a better environment to attract more people.

Whether it is a snowy night or other principalities, population is always the most important.

Therefore, the porter's "welfare" was brought out like this - only when outsiders see the different side of snowy night can they gain more recognition.

And this recognition will undoubtedly be a wonderful beginning.

All the people involved in the discussion were very clear about this, but what everyone did not expect was that it would take a long time for them to have a successful plan, and it actually appeared so early—

"What did you say?"

Even though he had experienced countless battles, the chief guard still took a deep breath at this time. He eased his inner excitement and asked as calmly as possible in his tone.

"Old, lord, do you accept free people here?"

The newcomer in the caravan looked at the big man in front of him and asked again; however, compared to blurting out impulsively before, he became a little trembling when he came to his senses this time - he was already a little regretful of his impulse. You know, every master is very busy, how could he take care of him, a poor boy?

Maybe you will get a whip?

The newcomer in the caravan thought to himself in frustration.

"Do you know anything? If you know any of iron, weaving, potions, brewing, etc., you can become a free citizen of Snow Night after review... But if you can't do anything, you must serve in the Snow Night militia for six months free of charge and participate in the expansion of Snow Night Castle in the next year and the next year - the latter can receive wages."

After calming down the excitement in his heart, he returned to normal, and immediately asked according to the results of the negotiation that day.

This was the result of the discussion between the 'Master Qiao' and their grandfather. He and Hocha listened throughout the whole process and had no objection to this - after all, there are no shortage of hunters in the snowy night, and there are also some pharmacists, but there are very few talents in ironwork, weaving, brewing, etc., and they are almost extinct.

Purchasing ironware, cloth, wine, etc. from outside is also a big expense on snowy nights.

Therefore, if such talents can be won over, Xueye's finances will inevitably be much better.

As for the expansion of the Snow Night Castle?

It is understandable that more people must need larger places.

"I, I will brew!"

The whip that he didn't expect was on the contrary a series of conditions for moving in. After being slightly stunned, the newcomer in the caravan immediately said happily, and even his words became stuttering.

"Well, brew? Go to the third house on your left. If the test passes, then you will be a snowman!"

The head guard glanced at the young man in front of him, then pointed to the house in the distance and said, with an extra expectation in his tone - in the snowy climate, alcoholic drinks are always available on snowy nights. Even if the bowman is a ban, the sharpshooter will drink a little bit.

"Okay, lord!"

The young man in the caravan saluted and then ran quickly towards the house.

About ten minutes later, there was a burst of applause in the house - congratulations.

Hearing this, when applause, the guard's chief's mouth couldn't help but curl up - the immigrant population that exceeded the expected time, and was also a young man who could make a living.

All this is so wonderful!

The guard let out a long sigh. Then, he couldn't help but shouted loudly in his heart: "Praise our great Master Qiao!"

...

【The Power of Faith+1】

Just as the head guard was sincerely praising Ye Qi's pseudonym, a beating appeared in Ye Qi's system column, which made Ye Qi, who had just completed the production of potions, unable to help but squint his eyes.

Using potions to expand your reputation and seek corresponding benefits for snowy nights was originally Ye Qi's plan.

However, the emergence of the power of faith surprised Ye Qi.

This kind of faith power, which is very similar to the power of the royal power, appeared at the celebration banquet two weeks ago, and this appearance really scared Ye Qi.

Because once the fluctuation of the power of faith occurs, he will definitely be targeted in this era when gods and demons dance together.

However, there was no movement afterwards.

The speculation did not appear, which made Ye Qi experiment several times and negate the original speculation, and more and new speculations appeared.

The gods cannot discover the power of faith related to the royal power at all?

Or... it is impossible to discover the very subtle power of royal belief!

The first guess was quickly added to the second one by Ye Qi when he thought of the original "Emperor" Delpa.

Everything that followed seemed to indicate the correctness of one's own guess.

However, even so, Ye Qi was carefully 'exploring' all changes around him - since such an irreversible thing had happened, so worrying and fearing was not Ye Qi's way. What he needed was a more proactive approach, and the exploration of magic eyes around him was the first thing to be arranged.
