The continent of Faya is home to many races, many of which exist as nations. Estia interacts most with humans, but as for other races, she doesn't usually interact with them because they are far from the Netherworld Dragon Abyss.
Therefore, apart from humans, most other races have a neutral or indifferent attitude towards the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, which is much better than the high level of hostility from the Kingdom of Fania.
Based on the principle of proximity, Estia first set out to improve relations with the Kingdom of Fania. However, she was not a particularly good strategist or diplomat, and faced with this situation, she could only ask for help from others.
Fortunately, Estia has excellent connections. The monster girls of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss are powerful and have considerable influence in their respective tribes.
The goal required for the quest to become a demigod is all living beings, including intelligent monster races.
First, send the demon girls from the Netherworld Dragon Abyss back to their tribes to lobby and give speeches, along with gifts from Estia as a gesture of goodwill. This will strengthen the relationship between the leaders of both sides.
As for the ordinary members in the middle and lower ranks, there is no need to worry. As long as the two forces establish a friendly relationship, then from the official to the public, they will promote a positive image of Estia. Over time, more and more people will develop a favorable impression of her.
Fortunately, Ling didn't play word games and didn't make half of the creatures on the continent develop the kind of "affection" that comes with love for Estia. If that were the case, Estia would have given up on the mission on the spot.
If we were to quantify the favorability here, a favorability score greater than 30 would be considered as having goodwill towards her. Currently, most Fania people have negative favorability towards Estia, and the negative scores are quite large.
Regarding improving relations, everyone in the Dark Abyss offered their suggestions, and in the end, Esther chose the one she thought was most suitable—providing assistance.
First, she needs to change the perception that the Netherworld Dragon Abyss and the Kingdom of Fania are sworn enemies. Let bygones be bygones. She will assure the Kingdom of Fania that the monsters of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss will no longer attack the Fania people in the future, and will even take the initiative to help them build their homes and improve their lives.
To be honest, the Kingdom of Fania is already a vassal state, so there is no need to plunder the wealth of a vassal. However, most ordinary people do not realize this. They only know that the former monsters have expressed their friendship and have actually begun to provide them with assistance.
Unless they are humans with a blood feud with monsters, the rest of the humans will change their attitude towards monsters, and the rulers of the Kingdom of Fania will also take the initiative to spread goodwill and gradually change people's impressions.
To demonstrate that she has truly "turned over a new leaf," Esther will personally perform in human cities in the future, showing her sincerity through her actions.
She doesn't need humans to worship her; she only needs them to have a good impression of her. In other words, when people mention Estia, they don't think of a destructive dragon, but rather a friendly dragon girl.
For Esther, if it weren't for the mission given by the system, she would never have allowed her monsters to attack humans. After all, she was a dignified dragon princess and one of the strongest on the continent. It would be truly shameful to have her subordinates rob those defenseless human farmers and merchants.
It seems that Ling no longer issues her weekly missions to cause destruction. I don't know if it's because the Kingdom of Fania has become a vassal state. In any case, it's a good thing. Estia can completely refrain from robbing humans and even spend money on human countries.
Plan ① – The Fania Kingdom Revitalization Plan is about to be implemented!
In order to become a demigod, Esther went all out, and she had already accepted the idea that money was just an external thing.
Yesterday's snow only lasted a short time, and with the passing of this morning's warm sunshine, there was no trace of snow left.
As Estya pondered her favorability rating among the various races, she casually asked Ye Qingxian when she saw her approaching, "Little Ye, how much favorability do you have towards me?"
"Affection level? There's no such thing."
"Huh? Don't you have feelings for me?"
"No, that's not true. Actually, my feelings for you have reached an unprecedented level."
Love is complicated. There are many couples in this world who don't make it to the end, and many couples whose feelings fade over time. But Ye Qingxian is not like that. Her feelings for Esther will only grow deeper with time.
Because of her childhood illness, Ye Qingxian has a love for life that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Similarly, she is a very easily satisfied girl with a very simple yet unwavering definition of happiness.
"Xiao Ye, although your profession is Star Crystal Dragon Knight, you've never actually ridden a dragon, have you?"
Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
The silver dragon girl smiled meaningfully, walked up to Ye Qingxian, touched her cheek with her hand, and said softly, "Would you like to ride me? Ride on my back and fly in the sky."
"Would you let me ride? Isn't it a bit too early now...?"
“It’s too early now,” Esther replied, “but I can give this to you as a reward.”
"award?"
"Hmm, you can't just sit idly by while we're implementing the Fania Kingdom revitalization plan."
Estia presented her "Ye Qingxian Development Plan".
"A nurturing/development plan?"
"Yeah, Xiao Ye, you're only level 100. Even a random flower on the roadside is stronger than you."
“If you are referring to Miss Anawin, then I agree with you.”
"Don't change the subject. Anyway, you need to reach level 150 before the training program ends!"
"Level 150? But my level cap is 100..."
"It is indeed level 100, but it cannot stay at level 100 forever. There will definitely be a way to break through the limit."
"Well."
“And I know you already have your own methods.” Estia’s expression seemed to know everything. “Have you joined some organization?”
This statement greatly surprised Ye Qingxian. How did Esther know?
Then she suddenly remembered that she had talked to Yunia on the roof that day. For dragons, the sound of a conversation at that distance should be audible, right?
Previously, at Yunia's invitation, Ye Qingxian joined the Star Crystal Hunter Guild, which is roughly equivalent to a professional guild for this class.
Although Ye Qingxian hadn't been there yet, she knew that there was a high chance she would find ways to improve her strength and gain more knowledge about the profession.
Section 231, Chapter 217: Xiaoye's Development Plan
"Okay, I'll pack up and head over to the guild."
Ye Qingxian decided to leave now. Anyway, her level had reached the limit, and she didn't lack star crystals to sustain her life for a while. Besides, she couldn't help Asteria anyway, so she might as well do something more meaningful.
Her birthday was coming soon, and she decided to tell Estia after returning from the Star Crystal Hunter Guild. Her mother would also log on to celebrate her birthday then. She had already made a promise to spend her most important eighteenth birthday in the game.
For this young girl who spends all her time at home due to illness, almost all her friends are on the continent of Faya, which is her undisputed "second world".
"Where is that guild you mentioned located?" Esther asked.
"Uh……"
Ye Qingxian hesitated for a few seconds. Yunia had told her not to tell Esther about these things, but now that Esther already knew about the guild, she had no need to hide the guild's location.
Estia was her lover, and she couldn't bring herself to deceive him, so she told Ye Qingxian the location of the Star Crystal Hunter Guild.
Esther nodded repeatedly as she listened, and finally told Xiao Ye, "I'm increasingly realizing the importance of the Ye Qingxian development plan."
Why are you suddenly saying this?
"Because you're so naive. I didn't actually know anything about guilds. I was just trying to trick you into telling me the whole time."
"What!?"
"I'm not kidding you, I've always thought that since it's a profession, then this profession must have a professional guild."
"..."
Ye Qingxian never expected that she would be so stupid. A few casual words from Esther had led her to expose the existence of Yunia and the Calamity Hunter Guild.
No, that's not right. Estia shouldn't know anything about Yunia. She hadn't told her, and if Yunia hadn't overheard the conversation on the rooftop that night, then she probably wouldn't know anything about it.
Ultimately, Ye Qingxian decided to temporarily conceal Yunia's situation from Estia, and if she saw Yunia after going to the guild this time, she planned to ask her why she was keeping it from Estia.
"However, the reason why Xiao Ye wants to tell me everything is because of her trust in me."
Estia lunged forward and pulled Ye Qingxian into her arms, hugging her tightly: "Don't worry, Xiao Ye, I won't do anything to betray you. I will always love you."
"I would never do anything to betray you."
If Ye Qingxian discovers that Yunia and the others are doing things that are harmful to Esther, she will immediately distance herself from them and tell Esther everything she knows.
"Be careful on the road. Although you can be resurrected, don't be careless."
"Don't worry, you can use the friend system to communicate if you need anything."
"In that case, let's set off. I don't know what Princess Fania wants from me."
Estia was actually quite busy; after finishing her own tasks, she also had to prepare a birthday surprise for someone.
That person was the one she loved most in the world, and he was right in front of her.
Looking at Ye Qingxian's face, Esther was already imagining the surprised expression on Ye Qingxian's face when she received the birthday gift.
After watching Ye Qingxian leave, Esther headed to Lilith's house. Choosing this place as the meeting point was actually a bit awkward, but Lilith had already taken Anstella home when she arrived.
Now, this human and succubus friend, who grew up together, have reached the level of lovers.
Lilith did approach the young Anstella to extract information, but the principle of love growing over time applies to any race. After so many years of living together, the succubus Lilith, who thought herself a cold-blooded animal, developed feelings for her.
dong dong dong~
She knocked gently on the door, not knowing what the person inside was doing. A long time passed without anyone coming out, until Esther became a little impatient and was about to barge in to check on them when Anstella finally opened the door.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled. What she and Lilith did was unknown.
"Anstella, what brings you here? Or are you using this as an excuse to see Lilith?"
"Of course I came to see you. I can tell which is more important, business or personal matters."
Anstella quickly explained Estella's purpose: the current state of public opinion in the Kingdom of Fania.
The Kingdom of Fania is a feudal state where the royal family has the right to rule the entire kingdom, and all land and people belong to the royal family as "property," but the specifics depend on the level of centralization of power in the country.
The Fania royal family has always enjoyed a good reputation among the people, but this time, becoming a vassal of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss has caused great chaos in the kingdom. If the royal family does not provide a reasonable explanation, then the public support they have built up over the years will vanish in an instant.
The problem now is that there is no reasonable explanation. It can't be that Anstella was so eager to save her father and mother that she directly promised Estella that she could ask for anything.
The consequence of telling the truth would only be to disappoint the people and cause many who do not want to become vassals of monsters to raise the banner of resistance, which would then turn into a civil war in the kingdom.
After listening to Anstella's story, Estella asked, "Do you want to back out?"
"No, we will not go back on our word. We will never take back what we have said. The Fania royal family has always been committed to integrity."
"So you've come to me seeking help? Let me make this clear first: I have no knowledge of human monarchy and the art of governance, and cannot offer any effective advice."
"Actually, I've already thought of a method... I just want to wait for your approval."
"Oh? What method?"
Estella was somewhat interested. She knew that the Fania royal family was facing a lot of problems. What kind of solution had Estella come up with?
"Could you sever the vassal relationship? Of course, only in name; the Fania royal family will still be loyal to you. But by doing so, you can give our people an explanation."
"Oh? Lift you from vassalage? Then what should be used to bind you?"
“We can form an alliance on the surface, so that we still belong to the same camp and our relationship will not be hostile.”
"An alliance?"
"Hmm... On the surface it's an alliance, but in reality we still obey your orders."
