People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Chapter 493: Yelagund, the Role-Playing Lover

Kjerag, Holy Mountain of Kalan, Manju Monastery.

There are still two days until the Harvest Festival.

Ernst is getting busier and busier, and Enya is both happy and a little distressed about it.

In their whole family, Ernst was the only one who had been sensible since childhood and the one who caused the least trouble. Now he had become the leader of Kjerag and his status was no less than that of his sister. How could Enya not be pleased?

But she also felt that the burden of the three Kjerag tribes of one million people could not be carried by Ernst alone. The elders had to do something to help him.

"Elder? Enya, you sound like an old mother when you say that."

Yaer raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyebrows curved into a crescent, and she smiled and joked.

Enya pouted immediately:

"Of course I am the elder. Why can't my sister be considered the elder?"

"is it?"

Yaer shrugged pretentiously, as if to say "If you say so, then so it is."

In fact, in Yelagund's eyes, Enya is the child who needs more care. After all, the Saint Lady can't even cook for herself now, and she has to rely on the gods she believes in to help take care of her food and daily life. If she is thrown into the wild, she will probably be so hungry that she will catch Originium bugs and roast them to eat, right?

However, joking aside, seeing that Enya's face had already turned red, Ya'er did not intend to continue teasing her young saint. She clapped her hands and changed the subject with a smile:

"Okay, then what kind of harvest festival gift does our good sister Enya plan to prepare for Ernst?"

The Harvest Festival is a traditional festival of Kjerag. It was originally held by the Perlochi family, and later gradually evolved into a joint event of the three major families. It includes the Yelagund Festival similar to a temple fair, the Harvest Festival Gala, and the holy hunting ceremony of the three major families early the next morning. It can be said to be the most grand festival of Kjerag.

At the same time, there is a legend circulating in Kjerag that during the harvest festival party, friends, family, and lovers can exchange gifts with each other and receive the blessing of Yelagund.

This was not an impulse trap exaggerated by the over-promotion of modern consumerism, but one of Kjerag's true traditions. Ernst had received many gifts before, and had given many gifts. Enya, Enxia, ​​Latatos, Hulus, Yucatan, even Akhtos and the great elder who later fought him to the death, had exchanged gifts with Ernst when they were young.

Because it is tradition and part of Kjerag culture.

Ernst respects this tradition. Even though Kjerag is now open and integrated with the international community, many Kjerag people have begun to cater to the large number of Victorian and Colombian tourists and have started to hold activities related to their festivals. Ernst does not intend to let the Harvest Festival remain silent.

This should and must become a business card for Kjerag’s tourism culture, and it should and must preserve the characteristics and historical deposits of Kjerag’s culture, because this is the root of Kjerag, and one of the things that all Kjerag people value most.

In a small sense, this is for the development of Kjerag and to ensure that Kjerag's cultural background is not lost during the development.

In a broader sense, this is an effort to build a new identity of "Kjerag people" that transcends the racial identities of "Filin, Ursus, Zalak, and Fengti" as Ernst said in his speech at the Holy Hunting Ceremony at the beginning of the year.

Enya may not fully understand the ins and outs of it, but as a sister, she trusts Ernst enough and is willing to cooperate with Ernst's actions. Her plan is to take the lead in exchanging gifts during the Harvest Festival.

But Yaer's question still stumped her.

"Ya'er, isn't it because I really can't think of it that I came to ask you?"

Grabbing Yaer's sleeve, Enya asked with some embarrassment,

"Ernst has everything he needs now. I originally planned to knit him a piece of clothing, but Latatos said this was also her gift. I want to invite him to have a meal together, but I can't cook. Yaer, am I a bad sister?"

"No way, Enya."

Yaer waved her hand, her face becoming a little more serious.

"Do you think Ernst would care about this?"

"From what I know about Ernst, he would be very happy even if you just played a song for him with bells."

Yaer said:

"And if you really can't think of it, why don't you try and ask Yelagund for help?"

Yaer puffed out her chest and gave a confident suggestion:

"Look, the Saint of Manzhuyuan prayed to Yelagund for Shelag's Prime Minister. Isn't this a gift that is both suitable for your status and very meaningful?"

Enya was stunned.

She felt that there seemed to be something strange about this statement, but when she thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

It is true that Ernst is the Son of God, but he is very busy with work and usually only takes time out to go to Manzhu Temple to pray once every one or two months. During his time in Casimir, it is even more impossible for him to teleport back to burn incense to the great god Yelagund. Such behavior is undoubtedly unqualified for a Son of God.

But Enya is different. Enya lives in Manzhuyuan. As the current manager of Manzhuyuan, after Manzhuyuan announced that it would withdraw from the political affairs of Kjerag and completely transform into a religious institution, all her work is to study scriptures, pray to Yelagund, and learn knowledge from the outside world under the guidance of Grand Maester Muirses.

In other words, if the great god Yelagund is really displeased with Ernst's "ungodly" behavior, then the only person who can serve as a bond to repair this relationship is undoubtedly Enya.

But would Lord Yelagund really be displeased?

Although she had never seen the god who protected Kjerag with her own eyes, Enya felt that Yelagund, who was willing to rescue Ernst at the Trial of the Holy Stone, should not be a "small-minded" god, right?

Well... However, what Yaer said made sense. For a saint like her to pray for Ernst in exchange for the forgiveness and protection of the great god Yelagund was indeed what she could do at the moment. It was the most appropriate thing for her status and the most helpful thing for Ernst.

"But will Lord Yelagund agree?"

Enya said with some worry. And Yaer shook her head:

"He will definitely agree. After all, you two are His favorite children."

Enya frowned slightly and looked at Yaer with some doubt in her eyes.

She really wanted to ask Yaer, why are you so sure?

The mind of gods is always hard to guess, and Yelagund has also left a moody side in the history of Kjerag. For example, because of the impious behavior of a certain generation of Manju Temple, he did not respond to any prayers for hundreds of years. This situation was finally ended after Manju Temple sacrificed hundreds of saints. This incident was also recorded in the scriptures of Manju Temple and was considered to be one aspect of Yelagund's wrath.

The historical records do not record how unfaithful and distrustful the Manzhuyuan of that generation was, so Enya is unable to determine where Yelagund's bottom line is, and whether Ernst's actions have made Yelagund dissatisfied. Yaer's assertion is somewhat disrespectful to the great god Yelagund.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t really matter.

Because whether Yelagund was angry or not, Enya would defend Ernst.

If we talk about the impious, then she is actually the most impious person in Kjerag. After all, she was the one who blatantly tampered with the scriptures and doctrines at the Holy Stone Trial, and fabricated the will of Yelagund to save Ernst.

Between family and faith, she would definitely choose family.

Therefore, whether Yaer is respectful or disrespectful is actually not that important. What is important is that she did hit the point - she, as the saint, as the elder sister, can indeed use this method to help Ernst!

"In that case, let's do it!"

Nodding to Yaer, Enya picked up the "Yeragond Hymn" and the holy bell from the bedside table and went straight to the hall.

Yaer followed her with a smile, until she stood in front of the statue of Yelagund in Manzhuyuan, closed her eyes, and began to ring the holy bell while reciting the hymn of Yelagund. Then she kept moving and spoke softly:

"Is that Enya? What do you want from me?"

The sound is like towering mountains, carrying infinite majesty.

So fast!

Enya was shocked. This was the first time that Lord Yelagund had replied to her so quickly. It was as if he was answering messages right at the terminal!

Enya said quickly:

"Respected Lord Yelagund, your attendant Enya Shivaash greets you. I am here to confess to you on behalf of my brother. He is too busy with work to express his piety as a holy son in time, so he asked me to express his apology to you on his behalf."

"I got it."

Yaer nodded and blew a warm breeze gently into Enya's ears, calming her anxiety and restlessness.

"Please tell him I don't mind."

Enya nodded happily. Great God Yelagund was indeed very amiable. When he spoke, it seemed as if he was right next to my ear and I could even feel his breath!

"Is there anything else?" Yelagunde's voice sounded again, like a kind mother.

Enya became a little bolder and asked:

"Great God Yelagund, thank you for blessing Kjerag with another peaceful year. The harvest festival is coming. I want to know if you will watch this harvest festival?"

"of course."

Yaer nodded.

"Not only that, my friends and I will give you gifts."

You and your.......friends?

Are you referring to other gods?

While studying with Muerseth, Enya also learned about another name for gods like Yelagund on earth - [Giant]. But she didn't like this name. The word "Giant" emphasizes the beast, and Yelagund, who has protected Kjerag for thousands of years, is undoubtedly divine. Even though Muerseth said that Yelagund's age is probably much younger than those ancient giant beasts, the word "God" is still worthy of Him!

But she never knew that Yelagund was also connected with other gods?

Although she was a little confused, Enya immediately thanked her:

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, Lord Yelagund!"

The oppressive feeling lingering in the hall slowly dissipated. Enya opened her eyes, turned around, and excitedly grabbed Yaer's hand.

Yaer smiled and held those hands back:

"From the look on Lady Saint's face, are you satisfied with Yelagund's response?"

Enya nodded: "Yeah!"

Outside the door, Nian and Xi, who were about to come to Yelagunde, looked at each other and asked curiously:

"What's going on? Are Yelagund and the saint playing some kind of game?"

The [Time] that resided in the staff made by Nian and was held in their hands answered without any surprise:

"Don't ask. It's just Yelagund's little hobby."

Nian nodded with interest, turned his head, nudged Ernst's arm with his crutch, and looked at her curiously:

"Has He ever played this kind of game with you, Ernst?"

Ernst looked at her in horror, then quickly shook his head and said:

"Miss Nian, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Aren't those in the room Sister Enya and her head maid? Where did Lord Yelagund come from?"

Don't ask, don't ask.

As long as Yelagund does not admit that he has an incarnation named Yaer, Ernst will never admit that he knows Yaer's identity.

Not to mention this kind of problem that damages Yelagund's "great image", he really has to admire this old man.

You like to add fuel to the fire. If the great god Yelagund knew that I saw this scene, my life as the Son of God might be over, right?

I didn't see anything like Yelagund playing two roles secretly, or performing a "stage play" to amuse his own saint!

Chapter 494: Yaer: This question is quite complicated. I will write a paper for you.

Ernst came to Manzhuyuan for the Baiyujing project.

The Baiyujing Project, also known as the Sky City Project, is the core of the entire Kazdel Nation Building Plan. However, there are actually two very critical technical obstacles that have not been overcome in this plan.

The first is how to make a city fly and ensure that it does not disintegrate in the air.

The materials science of Terra is indeed magical. In Nasti's words, based on the model she built, this problem is not unsolvable, especially with the help of the two architectural masters, Mudstone and Nian. If the scientific materials cannot solve the problem, she can also use the mysterious Sarkaz witchcraft and the power of behemoths to make up for it. The only problem that must be considered is the state of the sky, which is very unfamiliar to the people of Terra.

After all, the sky is not like the ground. When building a city on the ground, you only need to consider material transportation, labor costs, and urban planning. But if the city is to be taken off, there are many more things to consider.

Ernst agreed to let Nastie rent an airship to conduct observations directly into the sky.

This requires Yelagund to create a flying airspace with smooth airflow in the sky.

The second, and most difficult to solve problem at present, is the energy needed for the entire Kazdelnia to fly in the sky.

Originium is indeed an efficient and clean energy source. There are two main types of Originium energy used by mobile cities in the Terran countries. One is the traditional one, which is powered by directly burning Originium mines. The scale of such mobile cities is generally small, and they mainly exist as satellite cities and wartime fortresses. The second type is like the one in the Great Knight Territory of Casimir, Kavaleriaki, which uses high-concentration liquefied Originium energy for energy supply. The supply of this energy is very sufficient, so that the Great Knight Territory can complete the joint deployment of four cities during the special tournament.

But no matter which of them, there is one problem that cannot be avoided - Originium.

Kjerag doesn't have that much Originium.

In Terra, there are generally two sources of Originium. One is to mine Originium veins. Terra has a total of three main Originium veins, divided into the Corosa main vein in the west, the Jingyu main vein in the east, and the Targan main vein in the south, which is the largest, has the highest output, and has the widest coverage. The Originium mined from these three main veins almost supplies the Originium consumption of the entire Terra, and there is no possibility of exhaustion so far. However, the Jingyu main vein in the east that passes through Da Yan and Ursus and the Rem Billiton in the south, and the Targan main vein in Iberia are not mentioned for the time being. Even the Corosa main vein that is closest to Kjerag is located in the west of Colombia. In other words, it is thousands of miles away from Kjerag.

Terra does not have a mature cross-border trade. The biggest problem that Kalan Trade faces when it wants to develop industry in Kjerag is the lack of source stones, which are the basis of the source stone industry. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Whether to spend a small amount of transportation fees from Columbia to import expensive source stones from the main vein of Corosa, or to take a long detour and spend a lot of money to import cheap source stones from the main vein of Targan from Rem Billiton, has always been a problem that troubled Kjerag.

Some people may ask, what is the second path?

It's a natural disaster.

Everything has its two sides, and natural disasters are no exception. After the brutal Originium Storm and the large number of natural disasters it caused, a large number of extremely pure Originium crystals are often born on the swept land. These Originium mines are another way for the Terra countries to obtain Originium.

But the risks of this route are also obvious. The high-purity Originium mines and the high Originium pollution environment of the mines after natural disasters will put miners who enter them at a high risk of contracting Ore Disease even if they are fully equipped with protective gear. Not to mention that most miners cannot get a decent set of protective gear.

Compared with the high import and transportation costs, the slight labor costs become less important.

This is the industrialization of cannibalism.
