Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

In a few words, Bryan explained clearly what happened in the Shilan Empire.

In the past two years, there have been many religious wars within the Shilan Empire. In the end, the Church of Chaos won, occupied the capital, and became the state religion.Those who do not believe in the Church of Chaos will be expelled from the country.After the king was deposed, he retired to a city called Fertana.Last October, the king assembled the remaining priests and combat units of the Church of Light to attack the capital, but was defeated by the new king supported by the Church of Chaos.

During that time, the Northern Alliance was struggling against the beast hordes.The Stone Orchid Empire was blessed with a superior geographical environment, and the beast tide had little impact on the Stone Orchid Empire. However, such an environment did not prevent the Northern Alliance from war.

After that battle ended, the king died in the war, and the Church of Light collapsed completely.The remaining Illuminati fled one after another, and because Brian was far away from the capital and Feltana, his mountain village was isolated from the outside world, so the flames of war did not spread here.After Brian got the news from his previous contacts, he decisively decided to leave the Shilan Empire, a place of right and wrong.

If the Shilan Empire had become a land of blood and fire, and the people were displaced and miserable, nearly three-tenths of the people in the entire Shilan Empire would have died, and men and priests accounted for the majority.

This number is even more shocking than the number of people who died in the beast tide.

"The Church of Chaos didn't stop there. According to the news, they are spreading their faith around, and the Northern Alliance is also one of their goals." Bryan said: "The only way they preach is war. Before that, it is estimated that they have I have been preparing for a long time.”

The Kansero Mountains between the Shilan Empire and the Northern Alliance are a natural barrier, and the territories between them are not connected, so the news spread very slowly.Noah and Aldrich walked this road back then, even if they traveled lightly, it took quite a bit of time to cross the Kansero Mountains and reach Coldwind City.Naturally, one can imagine how many difficulties and obstacles Brain led those hundreds of people through.Brian didn't say a word about this experience, only saying: "The biggest problem now is that those people have nowhere to settle. And they can't always live in the Kansero Mountains. Most of them are missionaries .”

Priests and disciplinary knights basically died in the battle, only the missionaries were usually scattered all over the place, and the news was more well-informed.And the missionaries who usually travel north and south are better at surviving in the wild, but if they encounter fighters from the Church of Chaos, they won't be able to escape.

Bryan looked at Aldrich, and said one more sentence: "The Church of Light and the Church of War are also hostile. The Northern Alliance will not allow people from the Church of Light to stay here."

Noah said softly. In the early years of the Church of Light, because of its strength and extreme arrogance, it became hostile to all surrounding countries and churches. The specific situation can be seen from the destruction of the Neilbrooke Empire. .

He secretly squeezed Aldrich's hand behind his back, and said to Brian: "Godfather, if you are the only one, I can arrange it no matter what, but the others are indeed a big trouble."

Bryan understands very well that in this era of sparse population, more than 100 people are not a small number, and they can even form an army. No matter where they appear, they will attract attention.Moreover, there are more than 100 people, and the property spent on food, drink, and lodging is also a headache. It does not mean that you can afford it if you can afford it.If Noah agreed straight away, he would feel unreliable instead.

"I need to discuss it with Aldridge." Noah said, "You can rest here first, this kind of thing can't be rushed."

Blaine nodded, so Aldridge ordered his attendants to wait on Blaine, and then he looked at Evelia, who said, "Let me talk to Lord Blaine here."

Noah and Aldrich walked into the inner room, and Aldrich sat down and was quiet for a while.

Noah didn't urge him, but stayed silent with him.

After a long while, Aldrich said: "Noah, you are right, history is a cycle... Today's Shilan Empire, what the Church of Light experienced is exactly what the Neilbrooke Empire and the Church of Huihuan experienced."

Noah asked gently: "What do you think?"

Aldridge looked at him deeply, touched his lips lightly, and uttered short words: "I feel the joy of revenge."

After he finished speaking, he took a breath, then buried his head, covered his face with his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Noah walked over and squatted in front of him, looked up at him, and said, "It's okay..."

There is no empire that can last forever, and there is no church that can never be defeated.When Noah was still in the Shilan Empire, he thought that such a church of light would be defeated one day. It might be the church of chaos, or it might experience its own internal disintegration and reform.

It seems that the Illuminati Church has finally gone down a more tragic path.

Aldrich quickly recovered from the complicated emotions: "What are you going to do? Let them go to the ark?"

"That's the best way," Noah said.The Ark is a secret base that belongs to them alone, and it is rich in resources and has a vast area. It is no problem for more than 100 people to live there.There is still George there, and it is very easy to manipulate and order them.

Aldridge was very resistant, it was a place that belonged to him and Noah, but he wanted to accept a group of believers from the Church of Illuminati.

It happened to be the Church of Light!

It happened to be the Church of Light that had destroyed his life!

"Noah, I'm sorry, I'm still..." Aldrich frowned painfully, avoiding Noah's sight: "If it's Godfather Blaine alone, I can accept it no matter what, but those believers... between them Among them, the person who may kill my parents and brothers with his own hands..."

Noah pressed his trembling hand and said solemnly: "I understand, Odd, you feel pain for this. So no matter what decision you make, I will not blame you, Odd, you know, I always have I want to say something to you."

Aldrich trembled slightly, and Noah firmly turned his head over so that he could look directly at him.

"You are very important to me. Without you, I will be alone in this world, and my soul will have no place to rest. But even so, I have my own ideas and persistence, and I have things that I must do even if I leave you .I believe you too, Odd. Your past has shaped your will and your spirit. It is not something that can be thrown away at will. I don't want you to forget them, but I hope that even with those pasts, you can Had a great time."

"Odd, you have things you want to do, and some of them run counter to mine, don't you?"

"For example, when you hear that the Church of Chaos is about to fight, you have already thought about how to deal with this upcoming war, prepare in advance, fight a war of attrition, enclose land and cultivate fields, take advantage of the terrain, avoid casualties, and extend the front line, Wartime alliance...instead of leaving this mess and leaving with me."

Aldrich wanted to refute, but under Noah's gaze, he said sorry softly.

After Bryan revealed the plan of the Church of Chaos, Aldridge was planning how to deal with this war almost instantly. He even thought of using this inevitable war to completely integrate the Northern Alliance and build a stable and unified regime... Noah What he said coincided with him.

Noah laughed instead: "There is nothing to be sorry about this kind of thing. You are Odd. I like your kindness, admire your courage, respect your responsibilities, and appreciate everything you have done for me. Are you willing to tell me these I will accept it, and this will not affect my continued liking for you."

Aldrich's eyes widened suddenly, and he shrank back subconsciously. His ears and neck were all red in an instant. He turned his head sideways, not daring to meet Noah's eyes.

"So what about you? Odd." He heard Noah's voice, which was close at hand.

"I think so too." Aldridge replied seriously.

"Then I'll be honest with you about what I think." Noah said, "I'll take them all to the ark, because there's something I really want to do that the missionaries just happen to be able to do." .”

Aldrich asked, "What?"

Noah said word by word: "Religious reform."

Aldrich turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

"Of course, it may develop into a war in the end." Noah said: "We all know that all of this is a cycle. The Church of Light today is the Church of the Loop yesterday. And the Church of Chaos tomorrow will also repeat the light The mistakes of the church. Because any existence has a cycle, from birth, to growth, to full bloom, and finally to death. The only thing we can do is to find opportunities for change and the direction of progress in this cycle.”

"The nature of the church remains the same, and it will always be the pope and the high-level exploitation of the lower. Now the timing is just right, the Shilan Empire is already a piece of sand, and the Northern Alliance values ​​​​freedom and desire. Merchants are attacking the ancient aristocratic class. When the ideas of the Shilan Empire and the Northern Alliance collide, they will have new ideas."

"We can limit the power of the church, let people act according to the law rather than the doctrine, expand secular power, and return the land from the church to the farmers..." Noah said: "This is not something I can do alone, I need your help, you, Julian, Evelia...and the eloquent missionaries."

Aldrich asked worriedly: "But will Father Blaine agree to help you, and those missionaries?"

"I will find a way." Noah held his hand: "So, you do your thing, and I will do mine. We can compromise and help each other, if you want..."

"...I am willing." Aldridge buried his head deeply, and kissed his fingertips lightly: "I am always willing."

The author has something to say:

Hey, it was Noah who confessed first?

In fact, after clarifying his feelings, Noah is indeed more honest and proactive than Aldridge!In the future, he will boldly say that he loves you on the bed, so cool (?) and so on, but Aldrich only dares to say such things secretly after he falls asleep.
