Chapter 7: The Maid Master has thirty seconds left to reach the battlefield

Since the great war eight hundred years ago, the gods have had their lowest periods, because there is no longer a distance between the gods and mortals, and when the gods fall into mortal earth, they are no longer gods believed in by mortals, and even in the eyes of some people, they are some obstacles.

In the era of Xinyang's loss, the goddess of love made a bad decision and pushed herself into the 'abyss' from which she will never recover—she said that she would spend the night with one of the believers who contributed the highest contribution to the church every year, regardless of whether he was male or female, or what race.

This stupidity caused the believers to lose respect for her, and to look at her like a prostitute, and within ten years, her priesthood and personality were completely distorted, and the church became an unknown cult.

At that time, many churches of good gods were troubled by the development of the church and the loss of believers, and the cult of the goddess of love became the best target for them to attack in groups—this was not a vicious plan that had been planned for a long time, but just a coincidence.

The gods killed the goddess of love, helped her clean up the church, and helped her rebuild a church, and after that, a new goddess of love was born, and the gods gained a lot from it, and the most exciting thing for them was the return of a large number of believers!

Since then, people have regained faith in the gods, and the kingdom of Kolo, which had been in power again, was suppressed, and Emperor Andrei II, who had received the help of the Church, put down the rebellion, and the power of the Church entered the kingdom of Kolo at this time.

No matter what the mages say, they don't have anything to do with the gods and the church.

The Arcane Empire has fallen, and the last Arcanist has been expelled from the world of Assatom, and the gods do not supervise the Kolo Kingdom but they have no power left, and when the believers return in large numbers, the gods have regained their strength, and naturally have to supervise this 'Mage Country'.

There are naturally churches in the Sadwind Territory, the God of War, the God of Light, the God of Protection, the God of Knowledge, etc., among which many temples are located in Wende City, and the central city of Wende City is northern, which is the temple area.

It is not difficult to deal with the believers of these gods, as long as it is the church of the good gods, it is generally not too difficult to deal with, but considering the identity of Cervantes and Serena's own identity, the church that should not be difficult to deal with has become a difficult task.

Cervantes is the 'evil' black dragon, the maid is a mage, if you want to deal with these churches, it will be even more difficult, no matter how good the relationship between some bishops and the former Duke of Sorrowful Wind is, the identity of the black dragon and the maid will always make them have some mustard.

However, the church is not allowed to hold power except in the major holy cities, and the church cannot affect the replacement of lords and the succession of titles.

After crossing this hurdle, there is still the difficulty of the lords, and I don't know if they will be able to accept that their lord is an 'evil' black dragon?

These were all things that Serena needed to consider, because the dragon knew that a lot of money needed to be spent except for some money, so he had a trouble...... Even if she didn't make a fuss, it was impossible for that stupid dragon (maid's words) to manage a dukedom, and in the end, the Sad Wind Leader still had to fall into her hands, and the stupid dragon was just a puppet.

The knights have already shown their attitude, although the nobles have an ambiguous attitude, but now that the matter of Cervantes' succession to the title has been settled, no matter how much they complain, they can't change the facts, after all, the benchmark of their behavior is 'elegance', if they lose face, how can they mix?

The lord hid in the room and did not come out, and the head maid went into the study to work...... This scene is bizarre and harmonious, and many people can feel as if something is wrong, but they can't say it.

After all...... After all, their lord is a black dragon! Compared to the lord appointed by the previous duke, the head maid and mage advisor who seems to act elegantly and steadily is more reliable.

Edith watched 'Sister Serena' sit in the seat where her father used to sit in a black and white maid outfit to deal with all the things in the territory, and she felt inexplicably harmonious, as if she should have been sitting there in the first place.

Edith was appointed by the maid as a secretary, and Serena knew very well that she had to make Edith grow up, in addition to Lady Molly's request, but also because although the stupid dragon was rightfully inherited from the Sorrowful Wind Leader, it was a black dragon after all, and she knew the xenophobia of humans very well, whether it was for the sake of the future or for something else, she had to make Edith grow.

Now she keeps Edith by her side just so that she can learn and practice the truth, and ordinary teaching can't make Edith grow up quickly.

Serena rubbed her wrist, sure enough, she was still not used to quills, anyway, she had to make a pen after a while, the arcane pen was similar to the fountain pen, but the arcanist did not think about making the arcane pen into a civilian item, so until now, the mage nobles still use troublesome quill pens.

The biggest problem of a territory is still the financial problem, and the financial problem is always the biggest problem at any time.

The soldiers' gratuities, pensions and many materials need to be paid for by the lord himself, but this is still close to the Black Forest, and there are often monsters or powerful beasts running out, so the financial problems in the Sadwind Territory are mainly in the military expenses.

Originally, when the previous Duke of Sadness had just come here to rebuild the Sorrowful Wind Territory, no matter how short of money the royal family was, there would be an allocation every year, even if the Sadness Wind Territory was in ruins at that time, it did not have any troubles in military spending.

After more than 200 years, there was a poor and extravagant king in the Kingdom of Kolo, in order to build a 'more majestic and magnificent' palace, he cut off the appropriation for various reasons, and later the Duke of Grief entered the palace with a sword and 'admonished' the kings of that generation, so that the Kingdom of Kolo did not collapse.

Although the successor king revived the kingdom of Kolo, there were too many messes left by the previous generation, and Duke Sad Wind took the initiative to cut off the appropriation and let the king spend all the money elsewhere, but he took a team of knights into the Black Forest, killed a lot of monsters, and exchanged the precious materials on those monsters for money to survive that difficult time.

The family history of the Sad Wind family was recorded by her, and it was written by her through the dictation of the dying old duke and Lady Molly, and it was indeed a legendary history.

The old duke's ancestors were commoners for three generations, his father was an adventurer, he became an adventurer attracted by his father's adventure story, and the legendary journey along the way made him a powerful man, and later met Krylov I, who helped him put down the rebellion and became the duke of the Sad Wind Territory.

Because of its proximity to the outskirts of the Black Forest, the Grim Wind Territory has only nobles below the earl level except for the Duke.

Only a mage of the orthodox school can become a nobleman, and such a mage does not like to take risks, nor is it rare to be excited, so naturally he will not come to this dangerous place where war may occur at any time.

The old duke alone held up the entire sad wind collar, but when the old duke died, many problems erupted.

According to Lady Molly's words, not only the rotten nobles, but even the eloquent His Majesty Krylov III wanted to take the benefits of the Sadwind Lord, even if the Black Forest continued to expand, it didn't matter, because the kingdom of Kolo was about to be dragged down by those nobles, and if he wanted to save the country, he needed more money to recruit troops.

If the old duke is still around, he will definitely cut down on his clothes and come up with some money to support Krylov III, but the problem is that the Sad Wind Leader is also running out of money.

At this time, Serena must find a way to generate income, no matter how much she throttles, it will not make the Sorrowful Wind Collar richer, and throttling means reducing the benefits of the Sorrowful Wind Collar, which is the last thing she can do at this time, so she has to open source!

If she were only a native of this world, maybe she wouldn't have done anything about it, but she has fused souls from Earth and a system that claims to be the 'Book of Wisdom' and has 'endless knowledge'.

After a moment of silence, Serena beckoned to her secretary: "Edith, come here, I want to give you an important task on behalf of the current Duke of Sorrowful Wind." ”

Immediately, Edith was overjoyed: "Yes, Sister Serena!"
