Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 284 Territory and Governance

In the slightly dim room of the castle.

Moon stood quietly, and the sounds coming from outside faintly penetrated his ears.

“We just want to see the Son of God.”

"How is Shenzi's injury? We can go find some herbs, no matter how difficult it is."

"Master Shenzi won't abandon us, right?"

When Moon heard what the islanders and the evangelical church members said outside, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He turned to look at Zalan and Hailan Great Wizard in disbelief:
“We became the rulers of Andros?”

The great wizard Hai Lan's face was filled with excitement, and his cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement.

“Yes, but the islanders consider you the ruler, High Priest!”

The voice of the Great Witch Hailan trembled slightly, full of respect and gratitude for Moon.

For three thousand years, the tribal wizards have been sinking deeper and deeper into depravity, as if they were trapped in an endless quagmire.

But now, all this has changed because of the young high priest in front of him.

Before coming, the Great Star Wizard had told him that this would be the first step for the tribal wizards to return to glory.

At that time, the great wizard Hai Lan still had doubts in his heart.

But when he saw the islanders outside's full respect for the tribal wizard, the doubts in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace.

The great witch Hai Lan now firmly believes that the curse on the tribe may have really begun to be eliminated.

The source of all these changes is the young high priest in front of him.

"No."

Zalan's voice broke the excitement of the great wizard Hailan.

His expression was calm, in stark contrast to the excitement of the Great Witch Hailan.

Noticing that both people in the room were looking at him, Zalan calmly unfolded the archipelago chart he brought and spread it on the table.

"To be precise, Moon is now the ruler of Andros and Solman."

Zalan said as he stretched out his finger.

Another island on the chart was clicked - Solman Island.

That was the first island Moon set foot on when he first arrived in the Vina Islands.

Once upon a time, this place was firmly controlled by the Faithless. The Bailey family was originally here, and later moved to Xingjin Island.

Now, as the tribal wizards wiped out the faithless, this land naturally became Moon's new territory.

"Yes, that's right! Now half of the Vena Islands are under the name of the High Priest!"

Great Wizard Hailan looked at the sea chart, his eyes full of surprise and relief.

Originally, I only thought I could gain some victory in the confrontation with the Faithless, but I didn't expect to gain such a vast land.

Moon looked at the chart quietly without saying a word.

Before setting out, he had never imagined that he would own such a vast territory.

Now, thanks to the unreserved trust of the islanders outside and the firm support of the Evangelical Church, all this has become possible.

Seeing that Moon was silent, Zalan and the great wizard Hailan looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

"High Priest, I know you have always dreamed of building a magic school, but these territories were conquered by us with great effort."

The great wizard Hai Lan couldn't help but speak.

There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

However, before he could finish his words, Moon raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't worry, Great Witch. I won't give away what I've obtained without reason. I'm just not ready yet."

Moon's voice was steady and firm.

Before setting off, although he was the high priest of Xingjin Island, his influence was limited to the tribal wizards on the island.

Even if a magic school is built, its impact will only be on the small Xingjin Island.

And now, tribal wizards are about to occupy half of the Vena Islands.

This area of ​​land is almost the size of Scotland.

The sudden and huge change made Moon both surprised and worried.

After all, the Great Witch Hailan said that he was the real ruler of these places, but Moon had never thought about how to take on the role of ruler.

Are we going to impose high-pressure rule here like the Faithless, making the islanders live in fear?
Or, like some spellcasters, simply station troops there and let the islanders govern themselves?

Both options made Moon a little hesitant.

Perhaps seeing Moon's doubts, Zalan coughed lightly and broke the silence.

“Some things do come unexpectedly, but I think you should always have a good example to learn from.”

Zalan's words made Moon's heart move.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Moon only told two people about his journey to another world, one was Zalan and the other was his uncle Neil.

Zalan knew more details, especially after he brought back many books from another world.

Zalan learned from these books that there were also ordinary people living in that world.

There are many countries and tribes, and according to the book, people there seem to live better than here.

What Zalan wanted Moon to learn from was naturally the society of ordinary people in another world.

“Is this really possible? I’m worried I won’t be able to handle it.”

Moon frowned, a look of worry on his face.

He knew in his heart that he not only had to learn magic, but also had to pass on what he learned to the young wizards.

Now he has to transform this continent again. All these things make him nervous and worried that he won't have enough time.

"Don't worry, we've already understood most of the books you brought back, and this isn't just your problem."

Zalan explained patiently, and then spoke to Moon in detail about how to govern a place and manage an army.

According to him, what Moon needs to do is to set a clear goal and a detailed plan.

He doesn't need to do the specific execution work himself.

Moon's most important task is to identify problems in the governance process and propose solutions in a timely manner.

After all, only Moon had experienced these things personally.

“Oh, maybe that’s feasible.”

Moon nodded slightly, the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he became more determined.

He knew very well that no matter which world it was, outstanding talents were as numerous as the stars in the night sky.

What he has to do now is to discover and make full use of these talents.

In fact, before this, Moon had a dream in his heart.

That is to make this world a world where wizards and ordinary people can live in harmony.

Unlike the other world, where wizards could only hide and were full of fear of Muggles.

Now, he finally has the opportunity to realize this dream and conduct an experiment that will change the world.

After deciding to accept the new territories of the two islands, Moon, Zalan and the great wizard Hailan sat around the table and seriously considered the specific personnel arrangements.

Each island must be garrisoned by a wizard of exceptional strength.

This is not only to prevent possible escape of unbelievers, but also to protect the legal rights of tribal wizards on the island, while also dealing with the covetousness of spellcasters.

Of course, at this stage, tribal wizards will definitely not initiate a war, but they are not afraid of war either.

After all, tribal wizards with flying brooms can communicate with each other more conveniently.

Once an island is attacked, they can get the news in a very short time and quickly go to provide support.

This alone is enough to deter the caster from acting rashly.

After some discussion, Moon decided to let Lu Shaman stay on Andrews Island temporarily, while Han Shaman went to Solman Island.

When it comes to governing ordinary people, ordinary people should still be the priority.

But Moon had never considered these two candidates before. After all, he had mostly focused on magic.

"Or let the leader of the Star Tribe go to Solman Island."

The Great Wizard Hailan made a suggestion.

The patriarch of the Xingmang tribe is Ben's father, who led Moon to Xingjin Island.

This clan leader is on Xingjin Island and is usually responsible for dealing with foreign merchants. He is quite capable.

As the island closest to the mainland, Solman Island has extremely developed commercial activities and needs such a capable person to take charge.

“As for Andros, Alberto Suárez can stay.”

After determining the ownership of an island, Zalan also put forward his own suggestions.

"Is it the injured young general?"

Since the breakthrough of the [Memory Recall] magic, Moon's memory ability has been greatly improved.

Just by hearing the name, he could quickly recall the young man who was carried by the guards and boarded the Thorn with them to the Vena Islands.

"Yes, he has experience in commanding the military, and his family has had conflicts with the Federation."

As a federal veteran, Zalan thinks much more deeply than Moon.

Although the tribe had already taken over two islands, he was very clear about the style of federal soldiers.

Having the Suarez family govern here can effectively prevent federal spellcasters.

"Okay, but what about the lower-level and mid-level management staff? We can't just rely on these four people."

“The Evangelical congregation.”

Great Witch Hailan and Zalan said almost at the same time.

The two high-ranking officials of Xingjin Island both took a fancy to this new church that believed in Moon.

Especially after this war, they found that these people were not only very loyal to Moon.

Moreover, the doctrines preached are very consistent with the ideas of the Xingjin Island tribe.

Equality, freedom, and mutual help.

Using the gospel church members can not only help govern the place, but also play a role in rallying people's hearts.

In the eyes of the two senior officials, this is the most important weapon to regain new territory.

“Okay, now that you’ve made up your mind, let’s do it this way.”

After a moment's thought, Moon made a decision.

He doesn't need to worry too much about the rest of the things.

"Now that the territorial issue has been decided, High Priest, would you like to go and see the giant turtle?"

“Giant turtle? What happened to it?”

Moon was a little confused.

He knew that the Great Wizard Hailan was talking about the crystal-shell turtle among the high-ranking members of the Faithless.

However, according to the character of the great wizard Hai Lan.

This giant crystal-shell turtle should be in the pile of materials now, but he couldn't even see the shadow of its shell.

"High Priest, I never thought that guy's shell was so hard."

Great Witch Hailan explained with a wry smile.

After the tribal wizard entered the castle, he wanted to dismantle the giant turtle and take its materials back to make medicine or study alchemy.

But unexpectedly, the giant turtle's shell was extremely hard, and it had retracted all its limbs, making it impossible to attack.

The giant turtle slept for three days because it absorbed the spore powder thrown by Moon.

He just woke up this morning, and then ignored any attacks from wizards, leisurely hid in the pool in the center of the castle, and refused to come out again.
