People in Terra, governing a weird little country

At least, if nothing unexpected happens, relying on the orders they have signed during this period, they will no longer have to worry about bankruptcy in the short term.

Kal'tsit was very happy about this. This was probably the happiest thing for her during this period, apart from the fact that Terran humans had finally taken the first step in exploring the starry sky. Moreover, compared to the various accidents that caused her to suffer cardiac and respiratory arrest during the exploration of the starry sky, signing some purchase orders, setting up some offices, and helping to deal with some infected people were so safe that they touched her.

However, she was moved, but Manfred was not so moved.

As a new generation of Sarkaz, Manfred had indeed not experienced the era when the Sarkaz were conquered by the Four-Nation Alliance organized by Kal'tsit. His memory of Kazdel was only the skeleton of the mobile city that the Military Committee slowly pieced together by picking up garbage all over the earth. However, that thing had just been built for less than two days when a civil war broke out in Kazdel, and it was also beaten to pieces.

It takes a long time to build a civilization, but only a few days to destroy it.

Tracy did not hide it. He knew very well that the fundamental cause of the civil war was the disagreement between Tracy and Theresa. But Kelsey was the direct cause.

The powder keg is there and will explode sooner or later. Does that mean the person who lit the fire is innocent?

He has no good feelings towards Kal'tsit.

But under Kjerag's protection, he couldn't do anything about Kal'tsit and Rhodes Island.

Manfred could only keep this matter in mind, and report the intelligence to Teresis after returning to Londinium, and let the general make the decision. As for Hedley, let him stay in Kjerag.

He seemed to be having a good time here. The Kjerag kids all called him "Uncle One-Eyed", "Teacher with a Weird Temper", and "He Dalei".

Manfred could understand the first one, but he didn't understand the next two.

I asked the people in Kjerag, and they said that it was because Hedley would always be suddenly moved by the scene in the middle of a lecture, and would start sighing and looking regretful, so the children thought he had a "weird temper", and He Dalei was his alias in Kjerag.

Life is quite interesting.

Looking at Hedley's back, Manfred raised a bitter smile.

If there were no war, would the Sarkaz live like this?

Maybe, the reason why he joined the Military Committee was to create such a tomorrow for the Sarkaz?

Perhaps he was sensitive to Manfred's gaze, or perhaps he had simply reached his destination. Hedley stopped in front of Ernst's door, turned around and reminded him:

"Ernst actually doesn't have that much prejudice against the Sarkaz. As long as you remember not to threaten Kjerag or offend Yelagund, he's easy to talk to."

Ursula waved her hand, somewhat amused: "Hedley, when you were in Kazdel before, you weren't so fussy."

"We just left to get back our things. As long as he returns them to us as we agreed, we won't say anything more."

Manfred also nodded, agreeing with Ursula's statement.

When they first entered Kjerag, they were unlucky and were caught by a muscular Caprini woman with terrifying fighting power.

Although Manfred had tried to reduce his movements as much as possible in that hasty encounter, the mace was not easy to deal with. After a fight, he did not dare to use his full strength and failed to gain any advantage, and was even discovered.

Later, under Ernst's request and Hedley's lobbying, the two had to "voluntarily" surrender their weapons. Manfred hid the Root of Tikaz and handed over his sword, while Ursula had her pocket watch taken away.

The Root of Tikaz was a secret weapon given to him by Tresis. This thing was integrated into the blood of the Sarkaz and could only be activated by injecting blood. It looked no different from a bead and was easy to hide. The saber was not precious. The Sarkaz who occupied the Londinium Industrial Zone could forge a new one at any time. The only thing he had to take away was Ursula's pocket watch.

It was one of the fragments of the [Time] behemoth, a genuine [artifact].

Behemoths are immortal. Level 2 behemoths that master the [rules] will break into pieces after they "die". When a whale falls, everything comes to life. Behemoths with multiple laws can split into multiple fragments of behemoths with single laws. Theoretically, if the fragments of behemoths are gathered together, they can be resurrected. However, behemoths with a single law cannot be divided after death, and can only split the single law into several artifacts.

The [Fire Giant] split into [Sacred Artifact Levatin], and the [Time] monster split into [Lock and Key] and [Time Pocket Watch]. One has the power of [Subjective Time Slowdown], and the other has the ability of [Time and Space Jump].

In Londinium, it was with the help of this little-known artifact that Tresis was able to gather his troops under the noses of the dukes without being discovered.

The reason why the Grand Dukes of Victoria, including the Duke of Caster and the Duke of Windermere, felt that the Sarkaz were nothing more than a bunch of loose sand was largely because they were just an isolated city with only a few thousand soldiers brought into the city as mercenaries. Under the surveillance of various intelligence personnel, they had no ability to expand their scale, so they were not to be feared at all.

Little did they know that just when they were complacently thinking that as long as the time was right, they could send out a few high-speed warships to surround Londinium and fire a few shots to make the Sarkaz lose their armor and flee in panic, the size of the Sarkaz in the city was constantly growing. The Scavenger King, who is the oldest among the current Sarkaz kings, has even begun to summon the entire Scavenger army.

Once their troops are assembled, they will not be able to be dealt with by just a few high-speed warships.

The key item to turn the situation around is undoubtedly that magical weapon.

Manfred was not worried that Ernst would forcibly keep the pocket watch. After all, he probably couldn't use it.

[Timeline] The giant beast was killed by the Blood Demon Lord, so some of the gold coins he exploded fell into the hands of Sarkaz. And with the pride of the giant beast, of course, he would not listen to anyone.

The Blood Demon Lord killed him, and his strength was recognized by him, so he could be used by the Sarkaz. And Ernst, what was his basis? The behemoth didn't care about the Ten Thousand Nations or the summit. He didn't buy into that.

In His hand, it was just an ordinary pocket watch.

Hedley knocked on the door, and from inside came Ravshini's somewhat low voice: "Come in."

The three men pushed the door open and walked into the room, where Ernst was looking at a report in his hand.

That was a report submitted by Kjerag on several construction sites that were waiting to be built, and the main content was the lack of manpower.

The people from Rhine Life left, and the construction speed of Kjerag slowed down. According to the contract, Nastie did train a lot of skilled workers for Ernst, but for a country, these people are far from enough.

Even if each of these skilled workers were to become a contractor and be in charge of a construction site, it would not be enough.

There are not enough skilled workers and basic labor force.

Currently, the only city in Kjerag with a high level of development is Tukarim, but Kjerag is more than just this one place.

There are still many settlements in the Shivaash territory. They can now take the circular train to Tukarim for trade, but what about places further away? What about the territories of Perlochi and Bruntao?

The development is still too slow. It would be better to speed it up and make people run faster.

Ultimately, the biggest reason is the lack of labor, or in other words, the lack of qualified labor.

He felt that it was time to bring up the issue that he had discussed with Holhayya and Kal'tsit some time ago.

As it happened, just as he was thinking about this question, Hedley arrived with Manfred and the really big... ahem, Ursula.

Of course Ernst knew what these two people were here for.

"Are you leaving? Did Chairman Tracy urge you?"

Manfred shook his head: "It's just that the goal has been achieved, so there is naturally no need to stay here for long."

"But before we leave, we want to take back the things we left with you."

Ernst nodded, stood up, took out a large box from the cabinet behind him, and asked:

"How do you feel after being in Kjerag for over a month?"

Seeing Ernst open the box, take out the sword and pocket watch, and put them on the table, Ursula's expression relaxed a little and her tone became more relaxed:

"Not bad. It's rare to walk down the street without being called a demon guy."

"I haven't received any reports of you causing trouble." Ernst nodded, "It's not like the Sarkaz can't coexist peacefully."

"Unfortunately, not everyone thinks so." Manfred walked forward, picked up his sword, checked it, then held the [Chronograph Pocket Watch] and felt the power flowing in it.

Yes, no problem, it's original.

Although it seems that there is a lack of spirituality, it is not a big deal and this has happened before.

[Timeline] The behemoth is a very special behemoth. What makes it special is that it is extremely lazy. If you don't communicate with it for a month and ask it to work, it is entirely possible that it will fall asleep.

As long as it is authentic, there is no problem. Just wake it up when the time comes.

Ernst did not switch.

Manfred had thought that as a Sarkaz, he might be routinely hacked, but he was still a little surprised that Ernst really didn't do that.

He pursed his lips and uttered something that seemed to come from his heart:

"Not all Sarkaz are disloyal."

"So, Mr. Ernst, whether you believe this or not, just take it as my extra words."

"Be careful Kal'tsit."

Ernst nodded without commenting.

Manfred tied his sword back around his waist, handed the pocket watch to Ursula, nodded slightly to Ernst, and turned to leave the office.

Looking at his back, Ernst nodded thoughtfully.

Kal'tsit, you have such a bad reputation. Even the Sarkaz are wary of you.

What will happen next? Will the King of Hell ask you to toast him and have a tattoo of you on his body?

Hedley wanted to say goodbye and leave, but just as he was about to leave, Ernst suddenly called out to him:

"He Dalei, wait a moment."

"Prime Minister Ernst?" Hedley turned around and looked at the smile on Ernst's face. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

Ernst smiled, rubbed his hands, and asked:

"It's okay, don't be nervous, you have done a good job this time, I won't do anything to you."

"Later, you can go find Xinteleya and ask her to take you to Manzhuyuan to find my sister. Ask her to give you a name from the great god Yelagund."

Hedley was slightly startled.

Of course he knew what this meant.

The great god Yelagund is the patron saint of Kjerag, and Manjuyuan is a religious institution of Kjerag. Although it is basically only responsible for religious affairs now, after living in Kjerag for so long, Hedley still knows that Manjuyuan has a hidden function.

Register your household registration.

Kjerag used to have four household registers: the population of each territory counted by the three major families, and the general register of Manzhuyuan. After Ernst's unified government of Snowland was established, the general register of Manzhuyuan was used as the main one, and the major families made corrections and additions to create an official population register.

The Manzhuyuan and the Kjerag government each have a copy of this thing. In addition to the newborns of Kjerag who are automatically registered, other foreigners who want to join Kjerag must go to the Manzhuyuan, report to Yelagund, and obtain his approval.

This is both the last process and the last test.

It's not easy to lie in front of God.

Even though the great god Yelagund does not require every Kjerag person to believe in him, like Vina and Holhaiya, it is the most basic requirement that they cannot harbor any ill will towards Kjerag.

And Ernst asked him to go to Manzhuyuan and ask Enya to report to Yelagund on his behalf, which meant that he had already passed the test of the Kjerag government!

Ernst is willing to carry the flag for him!

As everyone knows, the great god Yelagund treats every Kjerag equally, but some are more equal than others. He has basically never refused Ernst's request.

Therefore, this basically means that as long as Hedley is willing, he can officially become a Kjerag from a stateless mercenary.

Hedley was a little stunned, while Ernst shrugged:

"Of course, I won't force you. If you don't want to, I can just give you a regular teaching qualification."

"I..." Hedley opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have two more people... They are still somewhere else, so..."

"Bring family with you?" Even Ernst was stunned.

My goodness, I didn’t realize that a one-eyed man with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you actually has a family?

Hedley blushed and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, no... It was my comrade when I was a mercenary. And a child we picked up."

"If possible, I would like to find an opportunity to take them over. But that child... is a little crazy."

Even with Hedley's education level, he couldn't find any adjectives to describe W's character, so he could only summarize it this way.

Ernst rolled his eyes and said, "Alright then. We'll talk about this later. If Lord Yelagund doesn't have any objections, I can make the decision and arrange everything."

After he finished speaking, he paused, gave a sweet date, and the next step was naturally to make a request.

"But, Hedley, I have something else to ask you."

Hedley immediately said: "Please speak."

Hey, you're all useful.

Ernst smiled and said, "That's right. I want to ask you if you know any other Sarkaz people?"

"Of course, I don't want those troublesome rioters. But if you have fellow Sarkaz who have a skill like you and want to stay away from war and live a peaceful and stable life, Kjerag will be happy to open a door for them."

"They can start as temporary workers like you. I will arrange for someone to assess them. As long as they pass the review period, Kjerag will grant them citizenship."

Ernst paused and emphasized:

"I hope you can think about it carefully and select it carefully. The number of places is limited, and there won't be many such opportunities."

He did lack a lot of labor, but things are scarce and valuable, and he would not attract all insects to Kjerag. If he gave a few places like this at a time, it would be competitive, right?

Chapter 352 Mud Rock: Why don’t you just call my name?

Kazdel, Scar Market.

Terran historians called the first city built by the Far Drifters the First Kazdel. Legend has it that the ruins of the First Kazdel are located in the wilderness of southern Colombia today. It is majestic and magnificent, and is the home of demons.
