People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"I was just making a casual move at the time, and I didn't intend to really find out anything. Could it be that... Yelagund really cares so much about the statue?"

He smacked his lips, somewhat incredulous.

The statue refers to the Yelagund statue that Ernst had instructed and all parties had funded, built in the Silver Heart Lake using Rhine Life's modern technology. The construction plan for the statue had been drawn up, and the order had been sent to Rhine Life. Although Ernst hadn't seen Nastie in the office for a long time, when Ernst asked Christen, Christen responded:

"She has no objection."

Nasti: "Oh, yes, yes, I volunteered."

As expected, after falling in love with her job, the civil engineer got more and more work, and Lola (Aurora) and Anmer (Qingzhi) also got more work. The only comforting thing is that Christen, the boss, is quite practical. Although he asked his subordinates to work overtime, he did not miss out on the project payment, overtime pay, bonus commission, etc. He was so generous that Ernst envied him.

By the way, Kristen has been pretty busy lately, and is working on a whole new direction.

She made friends with Miss Miloqi Mingdeng, and they were working together to figure out how to send Safar to the sky. Christen preferred the plan of the Originium lifeforms peacefully passing through the barrier layer, but Miss Miloqi's plan was far beyond Ernst's expectations.

The petite Miss Dulin showed a courage that was totally inconsistent with her cute image. She insisted on using Safar as a drill to give the barrier a hard blow.

"My drill is a drill that can break through the sky!"

While making this declaration, she also resolutely proposed to Christen to use the resources and materials of Rhine Life, combined with her mecha technology, to create the "Drill Mecha" she had always dreamed of.

Christen said this idea was very creative and she, Wang Christen Duoyu, voted for it!

Damn rich people!

After taking a bite of Christen's lemon, Ernst began to think about the statue.

To be honest, he had also reviewed the design of the statue when he returned to Kjerag. He actually thought it was... okay?

Ernst was a typical pragmatist. Before the college entrance examination, he went to two temples that were said to be very spiritual under the guidance of his parents, burned two sticks of incense, and prayed for blessings. He had some idea of ​​what the golden statues of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas meant to ordinary people.

The face of the Yelagunda statue is actually...very Buddha-like.

Well, how should I put it? Ernst did not lie. He only took a glance at the portrait and felt his heart calm down instantly. His desires disappeared instantly, and the small waves of attraction to Vina and Daphne calmed down instantly.

That painting can really make people become Buddhist, as if they can look at the clouds and the wind lightly, and laugh at the blooming and falling of flowers. Isn't this Buddhist enough?

Ahem, Ernst didn't dare to say it too definitely. What if the great god Yelagund really minded this thing? Then the boomerang would hit him on the head.

Maybe the Terrans have a distorted aesthetic view of Bodhisattva?

Do they like "something a little bit 2D"?

Ernst was not sure now, but fortunately, he was not completely unsure.

The original purpose of building the statue was not only to appease the opinions of the local people of Kjerag towards foreign tourists, to publicize the benefits of modern technology, and to add a nice tourist surface building to Kjerag, but Ernst also had a less important purpose, which was to test Yaer's "elasticity".

Ernst actually doesn't care much about Yaer's true identity. Whether she is really the spokesperson or incarnation of the great god Yelagund or not, it doesn't affect Ernst's plans for the future.

The first citizen of Kjerag will always be [Yeragond]. If her name is Yaer, she will not enjoy those special rights. If she is [Yeragond], then she naturally can no longer use the identity of Yaer.

This is an invisible boundary.

But as the saying goes, human nature is curiosity, and deciphering the mystery will bring humans the purest joy. If possible, Ernst would like to give it a try to see how many faces Yaer has.

And this is a very good opportunity.

Taking advantage of the Yelagund statue incident, he went up the mountain as the prime minister and asked the opinions of the Manzhuyuan specialists. No matter whether the person to receive him was Enya or the elders who had been sidelined, Yaer would definitely show up. At that time, he could just observe her reaction.

If the identity can be confirmed, then the opinion of Lord Yelagunde should naturally be taken into consideration, and modifications to the statue are naturally a proposal that can be considered.

Ernst acted immediately. He found Holhayya, gave him a few simple instructions, and then set off for the mountain.

..........

Kjerag, Kalan Trade.

Enchiodis also plans to go up the mountain today.

Manzhuyuan was not a good place for him. As the patriarch of the three major families, he was the one who visited Manzhuyuan the least. Of course, this was due to his position as a reformist Snow Leopard, but some "personal grudges" also played a big role.

Simply put, something unexpected happened every time he went up the mountain.

Either he was accidentally hit on the head by the saint with a bell, or his coat was stained by the tea that the saint accidentally spilled, or he was ridiculed and ignored by the saint throughout the whole process.

Enthiotis was also helpless, and sometimes he really wanted to learn from Enya and Ernst. Personal grudges are personal grudges, and official business is official business. If you have any personal grudges or dissatisfaction, you can talk about them in private, but when we talk about official business, we should just deal with it in an official manner.

But Enya didn't care at all. She just maintained an attitude. No matter what Enchiodis said, she would neither admit nor deny it. If Enchiodis insisted on giving her an answer, she would say, "I will listen to our third brother."

Why don't you tell me and just trust the second brother's judgment?

Enchiodis was quite troubled by this. She was obviously the elder sister, but she was so ignorant. It was really...

Of course, as the one who caused the current confrontation, he has no right to say this.

And this time, he went up the mountain for something important to do.

Kalan Trade recently plans to expand its business scope, open up industry channels, explore new areas, grasp the pain points of the times, deeply understand the consumer psychology, and adopt a short, flat and fast approach to lay a solid foundation for the future diversified and multi-level development of Kalan Trade.

In layman's terms, they plan to imitate the "card drawing culture" that has been popular in Longmen recently and make some special souvenirs, such as pack animal blind boxes, special character cards, flashing medals and miniature signboards of scenic spots.

It is really inappropriate to keep selling "sacred stones (small stones)" in souvenir shops. Moreover, according to the current development speed of Kjerag's tourism industry, it won't be long before the partners of Manzhuyuan will be too busy just to consecrate the stones.

Kalan Trading still wants to be a conscientious enterprise and must do a good job of controlling the quality of goods. Products that are not consecrated will not be sold.

Enchiodis reasonably speculated that when these new products he conceived were put on the shelves, they would definitely be a big hit! By then, Kalan Trade would be able to reap another income!

As for why we have to go up the mountain to Manzhuyuan.

The reason is very simple. He intends to bite the bullet and discuss the copyright and endorsement fees with Enya. Fortunately, when arranging the promotion later, these products can be labeled as "Saint's Selection", "Saint's Careful Selection", "Saint herself is using it!" to increase exposure and sales.

Although Enya probably didn't understand these things, there were people around her who did. Rather than being tortured by Ernst, who Enya had called, and then taking the opportunity to get involved, he might as well prepare at the source and make the process watertight, thus cutting off Ernst's thoughts!

Brothers should settle accounts clearly, it won’t be shameful.

After putting on a warm coat, Enchiodis walked out of the office. He paused, turned back, and called the one who was still standing at the door during work hours:

"Cheong, come with me."

"Need protection? Afraid of getting a concussion from your sister?"

Mace laughed without hesitation. Enchiodis glared at her with a frown on his face:

"No, I was going to find you a set of clothes. Kjerag's."

Mace frowned: "What's the use?"

"It's pretty." Enthiotis said, and then he seemed to realize that he might have been misunderstood, and he immediately explained hastily, "Ernst said that Yelagund has recognized you as a Kjerag. Let me dress you in Kjerag's traditional clothing. Don't you want it?"

Mace was slightly startled, and a look of helplessness flashed across his face for a moment, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye, making Enthyotis somewhat doubt his own eyes.

"He's young, but he's got a lot of ideas." She muttered, then nodded, "Okay. Will you reimburse me?"

"Ernst proposed it, and he reimbursed it."

Chapter 242: My God is So Cute

Shelagh, Manzhuyuan.

As soon as Ernst arrived at Manzhuyuan, Enya came out and gave Ernst a big hug.

For some reason, Ernst always felt that Enya's strength had increased, and it seemed that more than just strength had increased.

Sometimes, for people who live together and see each other every day, subtle changes in her body may not be too noticeable. But for relatives like Ernst and Enya, who only see each other once in a while, Ernst only took a quick look and noticed the changes in Enya compared to before.

She is almost a whole circle older, in every way.

This is strange. Logically speaking, even I have already passed puberty, not to mention Enya who is slightly older than me. Could it be that the magic saint can also transform into a second stage?

After Ernst considered it for a while, he still didn't ask about it.

I should think that my saint sister has received some blessing from Yelagund. It can't be that I have finished all the work, so Manzhuyuan is too idle and has nothing to do but eat and sleep, so she has gained weight, right?

I'd better not tell anyone about the fact that I turned my sister into a useless person. Being talked about is a small matter, but it's really dangerous to easily attract a "natural shock" from a bell!

"Ernst, why did you think of Manzhuyuan?"

Releasing her hands, Enya smiled and pinched Ernst's face. After confirming that her brother had not lost weight due to the long journey, she nodded with satisfaction.

"If you have any questions, just ask me. As long as I can help you, I will definitely help you!"

Sister, why are you talking like a bear?

Ernst complained in his heart, but even so, he still felt warm in his heart.

If Ernst had two people in Kjerag who he could talk to about business with, Enthiotis was definitely not one of them. Old Biden had a lot of tricks in his head, and if he wasn't careful, Ernst would be fooled into a trap without knowing it. The most recent one was the fundraising for the statue. If it weren't for Fat Snake... ahem, Miss Quetzalcoatl discovered the problem in time and changed the plan, Ernst's plan would have let Enthiotis take the lion's share of the benefits.

These two people must be Actor and Enya.

In the former case, Brother Xiong has no tricks to play. Being straightforward and playing tricks with him may indeed bring benefits, but sometimes, it may be simpler and more effective to negotiate with him directly, present facts and reason.

As for the latter, Enya simply didn't want to play tricks with Ernst. Was she not smart? Ernst didn't think so. Enya had never lacked sufficient wisdom and courage. Just like in the Holy Stone Trial, she took out the most powerful thing she had as a saint who was sidelined - the right to interpret the oracle of Yelagund, and stabbed the elder in the back, buying enough time for Ernst to communicate with Yelagund.

Although she did not play any role in the final decisive persuasion of Yelagund, it is still undeniable that she only lacks strength, but not wisdom. Her trust in Ernst is enough to make him feel at ease in his rear when he is traveling outside.

Since his sister had spoken, Ernst did not elaborate and went straight to the point:

"I'm here about the statue."

As he spoke, he calmly turned his gaze to the head maid behind Enya.

Miss Yaer is the head maid of Manzhuyuan and also the "secretary" who serves the saint and assists her in chanting, praying, and a series of rituals. However, despite this, Ernst has felt more than once that Yaer is somewhat too close to Enya.

They were so close that they were like a mother who was afraid something might happen to her child. They were almost inseparable. Wherever you could see Enya, there would definitely be another Yaer within ten meters. This time was no exception.

Ernst had just opened his mouth when Enya hadn't replied yet. Ya'er's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to say:

"Right, right? Prime Minister Ernst also felt that there was something wrong with the statue, right?"

Actually, I think it’s okay.

Ernst naturally did not say this out loud.

He just looked at Yaer's reaction which was obviously a little extreme and she didn't realize it, and glanced at Enya beside her, who had an expression of being used to it and was a little speechless and holding her forehead, and he already had a plan in his mind.

How should I put it? He felt a bit like a clown.

He spent most of the day preparing the script, pondering over the lines countless times, and repeatedly thinking over it, trying to use every word effectively so as not to offend Yaer or Yelagund, while at the same time being able to test out the relationship between them. Finally, he mustered up the courage to come to Manzhuyuan, intending to show his skills!

It turned out that the other party didn't hide anything at all. His demeanor, movements, tone of voice, and the expression that was craving for recognition were all there.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yaer was almost "naked" when talking to Ernst.

It was like Cao Chong weighing an elephant, who spent a long time calculating math problems, trying to maximize his gains. But when it was Dabao's turn, he started by drinking first and then using his sword. He shouted, "Behind the natural barrier of the Yangtze River is the iron wall of Jiangdong!"

Click, it’s gone, highlighting that all the work was in vain.

This made Ernst a little confused. For a moment, he was not sure which floor Yaer was on.

But no matter what, Yaer must be connected to the great god Yelagund, and this connection must be extraordinary. Either he is a spokesperson controlled by a real behemoth, or he is the god himself.

Moreover, judging from her attitude, our dear Lord Yelagund really cares very, very, very much about that big statue.

Ernst was at a loss for words for a moment.

Why didn't you say it earlier? It's just a small matter, can't it be easily solved as long as you ask?

Ernst smiled and nodded. "Well, Miss Yaer and I have similar opinions. I think there is nothing wrong with the design of the sculpture, and the current plan is feasible. It's just that the details need to be slightly modified."

"Details?" Enya was a little puzzled. "I also know about the sculpture, but Actor said that they were directly commissioned by you to supervise the construction of the statue, so I didn't ask too much. Is there any problem with the details?"

The face of the statue does not quite match the aesthetics of Lord Yelagund.

Ernst complained in his heart. Of course, such words should not be spoken out. The great god Yelagund still has to save face. Otherwise, he would not have just left a message of "return quickly" and cosplayed Jiajing, leaving Ernst to guess "clouds in the sky and water in the bottle".

He could only say: "It's a matter of the face of Lord Yelagunde."

"Facial features?" Enya frowned. "Aktos provided Manzhuyuan with complete historical records. The face of the Yelagund statue is now presented in full accordance with the records. Why is there a problem? Is there an error in the classics?"

Ernst shrugged and explained:

"Sister, the classics were collected and preserved by Manzhuyuan and the Edweiss family, so there will naturally be no mistakes, but there will be deviations in the way we use the classics!"

"Let me give you an example. It has a green face and fangs, a single horn on its head, and is covered with bristles and iron hair. It is not afraid of wind, cold, snow, and often lives in groups, waiting for an opportunity to move. When it moves, the earth shakes and mountains shake, and no grass grows wherever it passes! What does this describe?"

Enya was stunned, thought for a moment, and guessed: "Mountain Snow Ghost?"

This description sounds scary. In Kjerag, the only well-known scary legend is the mountain snow ghost.

But Ernst shook his head.

Enya asked curiously, "What's the answer?"
