Starfall 837, Northern Empire, Moldavia.

In April, the weather was cold and sunny, and the bell struck thirteen times. In the sound of the church bells, Priest breathed in the cold air of the North for a long time, and returned to this land after a month and a half of absence, he stood in front of the tall keel gate of South Moldavia, looking up at the buildings in the city that were taller than the city walls, his eyes were dazed.

"Good guys, is this still Moldalvey?" Priest muttered.

In just a month and a half away, the changes in Moldavia have already made this Champion Academy intern, a member of the experimental team of the Northern Empire's Foreign Development Department, feel a little strange, although he has lived in Moldavia for less than half a year, but just a few months are enough for Priest to regard the Northland as his second home.

And the truth is just as he thought, Moldavia has changed dramatically.

In the southern outer city, the magic energy factories are still in production, they are spewing gray-white mist in the atmosphere, and the newly added purification circle is running at full power, purifying most of the condensed magic dust. The factory is towering, like a hill to ordinary people, and even taller than these giants are the teaching building of the Champion Academy and the headquarters of the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

The new headquarters of the Northland Chamber of Commerce is a huge black rectangular building, it is about 80 meters high, 40 meters long, and 30 wide, as a whole, it is not so much a building as a huge rock block, without any decoration and carving, the surface of the building is completely composed of black rock, and on its wide four walls, there are four huge screens.

This is the LCD screen, has it begun to be popularized - I have already walked into the city and found the headquarters of the Northland Chamber of Commerce for the first time, where some beautiful pictures are playing, and elegant melodies are also coming from the magic circle, Priest listened to the soothing piano music, and did not be like the passers-by around, from time to time, he was not unfamiliar with this thing, in the one and a half months of training in the plateau base of the Ministry of Foreign Development, Priest often used this strange alchemy creation.

In fact, in addition to this thing, he also saw a lot of novelties in the training base that he would never have touched - magic nets, point exchange systems, single-person flying devices, special magic armor, and all kinds of wonderful alchemy creations - LCD screens are just the most ordinary of them, and the biggest function is to create long-distance communication screens, or like now, play some videos for everyone and put a little business.

"I'm finally going home."

Crossing the trade zone where the Chamber of Commerce is located, Priest walked towards the residential area around the industrial zone, that is, his home in Moldavia, and looking at the familiar street scenery around him, the man couldn't help but sigh softly: "Although it is only a little more than a month...... But it always feels like a long time has passed. ”

Priest's life has changed dramatically since Starfall 837 when he joined Wintercastle Academy and was invited to join the Empire's Department of External Development.

After a week of basic systematic teaching and training at the Champion Academy, Priest already had a basic understanding of the supernatural powers such as magic fighting energy, and then he was quickly transferred to the training base in the East Balter Plateau along with several students who were also invited. Here, they will have a month of intense workouts, as well as targeted talent development and development.

A month, to be honest, is only thirty days, and Priest, who heard the news at the beginning, even frowned - what can you do in a month? Is this really training and not a trip to the highlands? You know, whether it's holy light or magic, fighting qi or martial arts, they all need a long time to sharpen before they can achieve something, and lo and behold, which of those great mages and chief priests who have achieved fame and achievement are under forty? And those famous warriors, who have not been through a hundred battles?

In a month, you can train one apprentice at most. Priest did think so at the time, and thirty minutes later, he knew he was wrong.

The high-intensity training he understood was completely different from the high-intensity training that the adult understood and designed.

All in all, a month and a half of hell training is over, and Priest feels like he's been reborn - he's learned to fight in hand-to-hand fights with Silver Storm Bears, he's learned how to make traps, light fires, stealth reconnaissance, and build improvised shelters, Priest has learned 81 ways to survive in the wild, he's memorized and integrated a lot of knowledge about the other world, and he remembers reciting it while running a twelve-kilometer sprint. 100 Simple Tips for Identifying Edible Plants Based on Life Force' All the details of the book, in the last week of a real survival internship, Priest even learned how to build an entire small base of exploration in the wilderness empty-handed.

Now Priest, even if he is thrown to any place in Microf with his empty hands, he can survive smoothly and comfortably, but even so, all this is just the foundation, because his goal is not to survive in this comfortable hometown, but to leave his homeland, go to the void, and explore a different world that has nothing in common with the Microf world.

And the same is true of the entire Department of External Exploration.

Now, of course, it seems that compared to the changes in Priest's life, the whole of Moldavia – or rather, the whole world – is no less than the changes in his life.

[Now insert a piece of news: Eastern Province, Lord Glaire, Yasin Glaire was deprived of his title and domain, according to the Imperial Noble Court, the former Count Glare was killed on the spot on suspicion of human trafficking, abuse, torture and killing of civilians, and performing cult rituals, which is the highest-ranking nobleman currently involved in the case. 】

[The censors are carrying out a large-scale search and arrest operation in Glaire with the local garrison, and more than 120 people involved in the case have been arrested, and the organization has carried out activities such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, cult sacrifices, and illegal dissemination of unidentified alchemy creations in the local area, which is the fourth large-scale underworld force to be eradicated this month. 】

The melodious piano sound suddenly stopped, and on the headquarters of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, which had been funded by the imperial family, the four huge LCD screens quickly changed, and a female censor with a good face and a calm tone read the manuscript to the screen solemnly, and the magic array spread her voice throughout half the city, and almost everyone who was not busy with work in her hands could hear her clear words.

The news ended soon, the LCD screen continued to play beautiful scenery pictures and music, the original piano had a violin ensemble at this time, and the passers-by who had stopped on the street and listened to the news also talked with the people around them with emotion.

"Good catch! Good kill! All the traffickers are going to die! ”

"It's been a lot more peaceful recently, my relatives in the east contacted me some time ago, saying that the original gangs have disappeared, there is no majesty, life is much better, and they are ready to invite me to go over for a turn!"

"No, it's been a thousand arrests...... There are also a lot of nobles, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is really doing it, not a joke! ”

"Needless to say? I don't know who it was, but it was an earl, and he was killed on the spot...... Was it cold before? ”

"I remember, Lord Lord, seems to be ......"

"Can this be compared?"

Although they are still a little uncomfortable, there is no doubt that the inhabitants of Moldavia are not the first time to watch this kind of news, at this time they are just ordinary lamenting the various drastic changes that have taken place in the empire, but they do not think about what kind of secrets are hidden after these seemingly ordinary severe blows - ordinary people do not care about this, they can only see that the empire is scraping the abscesses from the body from top to bottom, and the life of ordinary people is becoming easier.

Hearing the news, Priest, who was almost back home, couldn't help but stop, he turned his head to look at the huge LCD screen behind him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It's cool.

To be honest, Priest, who originally lived in the south of the empire, really didn't have a good impression of the nobles, and in the land where the Black Forest monsters attacked the human towns in the market, basically all the nobles lived in fortified castles and fortresses, and those people enjoyed a comfortable life with the legions stationed in the big cities.

Aside from collecting taxes, Priest and his family had never crossed paths with these nobles, and even during the Dragon Calamity, not many people came to lead them to the Vault...... This kind of aristocracy, in fact, is not bad, because they just ignore their own people and enjoy their own luxury, and in more territories, the noble lords have all the rights over the people, they are the gods of those ordinary people, who can oppress and exploit these commoners who are already difficult to make ends meet.

It's not that he hates the rich, Priest just likes the feeling that justice is being done - of course, not everyone thinks so, even in the Ministry of Foreign Development, there are many people who express their dissatisfaction with this kind of treatment that is too harsh compared to the past, they feel that the emperor's power is too great, the censorship is too strict and too fast, Israel and his noble court almost ignore all the privileges of the nobles, they even ignore the law, The honorable people were arrested in their mansions without any evidence.

All of them were insecure, they felt that their freedom and dignity were being oppressed, and they objected to this simple and crude 'atrocity', saying that if it continued, the whole empire would become the Emperor's command, and Israel would become the greatest and worst dictator.

And the men scoffed at it.

Freedom, dignity? First of all, people have to survive before they can think about such things—and only with freedom and dignity can others oppress them. The vast majority of low-level civilians in the empire have no conditions for freedom and self-esteem at all, they are oppressed by gangsters, oppressed by nobles, walking in the wilderness, and worrying about the attack of demonic beasts, they are already very difficult to live, how can they consider these?

If His Majesty the Emperor can make sure that all the low-level commoners can live well, with freedom and dignity – then why can't such atrocities be committed? Why not? If a ruler can eradicate all inequality and darkness, if he can expel all the dirty atrocities and oppression from ordinary people's lives, if he can eradicate the monster from the roads of the major cities, and if he can make all the civilians have enough to eat and live a worry-free life, then there is no doubt that he has the right to dictatorship and the right to carry out such 'atrocities'.

He even had the right to ask people to worship him.

Speaking of this, Priest couldn't help but look to the southwest of heaven and earth, he raised his head, and looked at the sky—at the far end of the sky, a hazy space was flickering, as if covered in boiling water vapor, and a vague white light flashed in it...... It is the boundless heavens, the abode of the gods.

More than a week has passed since the spectacular vision of the Celestial Realm descending into the world, and most of the people who used to talk about these things have now closed their mouths, and under the propaganda called 'news' broadcast on LCD screens in major cities, even illiterate peasants know that the gods have done their best to prevent the Celestial Realm from falling abruptly into the world, and at this time they are in need of rest, and the Celestial Realm is slowly but completely integrating into this world. And because of the divine fluctuations that swept through the world that day, many people who did not believe in God have recently begun to go to church and pray to those holy emblems.

The world has changed...... Although he can't feel it yet, Priest knows that this is only a prelude, when the gods leave their abode, the celestial realm is completely integrated into the world, and when the entire empire is cleared, the ancient world of Mycrove will be revitalized.

This was indeed an exciting future, Priest couldn't help but start to think about it, but soon, he suppressed his thoughts, now was not the time to think about it—the questions were too big for him to worry about, and even if he did, it was something that only their lord needed to think about.

Regardless, in this world of supernatural powers, he just had to be himself.

Now, Priest was standing in front of an ordinary two-story hut, and the man froze, then took out the key and opened the door.

"I'm back."

He said with suppressed excitement.

Soon, another voice of surprise, but joy from the bottom of my heart, came from inside the room:

"You're back, brother!"

"You're back, Joshua?" "Master, you're back!" X3

Almost at the same time, in the inner city of Moldavia, the lord's mansion sounded the surprised whisper of the artificial intelligence girl, and then there was the helpless complaint that the Shenji siblings and the black dragon had long been accustomed to.

"Hmm."

A man's voice sounded from the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, and he held a ball of light that was constantly 'jingling and jingling', as if he wanted to pounce on the head of a certain black dragon girl, and said calmly, "I'm back." ”
