Chapter 222 Sleepy Moonlight
After the war, the faith of the people of Fluke was shaken to some extent. In addition to Freya's final defeat by the demons, it was also due to the incitement of Ymir's Doomsday Cult.
Although most people have regained stability, Richard still has a chance. The Twilight Cult has taken root in Fluke. If the Fluke government does not interfere and the Goddess of Autumn appears less and less in Fluke, the number of believers will increase. The Twilight Cult has another mission when it comes to Fluke, which is to repay the Doomsday Cult. After all, the Doomsday Cult also made some contribution to Richard's victory. After receiving the help of identification, it is necessary to repay them, so Richard's thank you gift to them is to destroy them. Now Fluke belongs to Richard, and they have lost their original value.
In addition to ordinary people, speculators also took action. Since the windmills were destroyed, production in various places had problems. Merchants took the opportunity to stockpile a large amount of food and planned to sell it at a high price. Richard naturally did not miss these opportunities. The merchants' stocks were collected by Richard in the name of military expenses. The merchants who resisted were also dealt with, their property was confiscated, and their positions were given to the merchants of the Iron Wheel.
Freya and Richard discussed some other issues related to Fluke's stability, and finally reached a compromise. Freya and Richard agreed that Richard would harm Fluke's people, and Freya would help Richard get the mainland. However, when shaking hands, Richard saw that Freya's eyes revealed the fact of distrust. Richard had seen this kind of eyes on a female, who later became Richard's meat dragon. If Freya still behaves like this in the future, the day when she becomes Richard's meat god will not be far away. Fina put
the newly made cakes on the table. After talking about Fluke's future, Richard ate the cakes and asked the questions he had always wanted to know.
"Freya, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Your Martyrs have outstanding concealment ability. Is this unit able to have such outstanding ability because of you?"
The Martyrs have brought them great trouble since Richard invaded. By the end of the war, more than a hundred non-commissioned officers had been lost to them, and the highest-ranking officer was a military corps staff officer. Their concealment ability is outstanding. Richard can only find them within ten meters. This ability is impossible for ordinary humans to display.
Sure enough, Freya nodded: "Yes, I call this spell 'Sleeping Moonlight'. This spell can make the martyrs hide for a long time or even completely conceal their breath."
"A whole army? The power of the goddess is really extraordinary."
Freya said humbly: "No, it's not just my power. If there are no believers with firm faith, this magic will not have this effect."
"Oh?" Richard tilted his head. Do the powers of the goddess and the believers complement each other? Richard seemed to have touched a trace of the origin of the goddess's power. Richard looked at Freya and silently thought to himself that it was a pity that Freya would definitely not tell him about the power.
"Can your martyrs still be used now?"
"No." Freya was a little sad. "They all committed suicide the moment I was defeated."
"Tsk, what a pity." If there were martyrs operating in secret, it would be more convenient for Richard to control this place. Except for Valeera, no one else in Richard's secret troops had such stealth skills. These people did not disgrace their own name. After being defeated by the demons, they defended the sect with their lives.
Since the martyrs can no longer be used, what effect will this spell have on other people? Richard pointed at himself and said, "How effective will your 'Sleepy Moonlight' magic be on me?"
"Not at all!" Freya said decisively, "People like you who don't believe in the goddess at all cannot receive the goddess' blessing. It won't work for even a minute!"
Richard didn't work at first. Freya used it on Richard once, and then on an ordinary Fluke soldier. Richard finally believed that the "Sleepy Moonlight" had no effect on an outsider like himself.
After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Richard stood up and opened the window, looking at the vast golden plain outside and enjoying the cool breeze blowing in. Looking at the windmill in the distance, the construction workers of Gazruvi are now on their way to Fluke. I believe that it won't be long before Fluke will regain its former prosperity. Although it took a lot of effort to take over this country, it was all worth it.
"Hey, Freya."
"What?"
Richard looked up: "We're holding a celebration banquet tonight, come and fill my glass."
Freya frowned: "Don't you have Fina?"
"I want you, what do you think?"
"..." Freya didn't answer.
Richard pointed at her and said: "Dress up nicely tonight, don't embarrass me."
Looking at Richard who was walking out, Freya's eyes were a little angry, but now she was not qualified to refuse Richard.
The celebration banquet in the evening also invited representatives from all walks of life in Fluke. In the eyes of the local dignitaries, Freya was like a waitress who respectfully filled Richard's glass with wine. Everyone had new ideas in their hearts as Richard touched them all over.
"Primathis, can I sit here?"
The banquet was still going on, and Richard took Freya out of the banquet hall. The people attending the banquet were all relaxing and chatting with familiar people, and Diluka was no exception.
Primathis smiled: "Please sit down, what can I do for you?"
Diluka smiled: "Now the only thing that has not been taken down in Yggdelsilu is the Divine Realm, and Richard is getting closer and closer to victory. I want to get to know him better, and you can spend more time with him."
Primathis saw through her thoughts at a glance: "Are you worried that Richard will break his promise? Don't worry, since he has promised you, as long as you follow the agreement, he will not violate the contract."
Diluka smiled awkwardly, and Primathis continued: " To be honest, I don't know much more about Richard than you do, and I haven't been with them for very long, just a few years."
Diluka asked, "What about the stories during these years?"
Primadis took a sip of wine, sighed and said, "There's nothing to talk about, it's not necessarily more exciting than the war in Yggdrasil. Why don't we talk about Rocky. We were just talking about this."
Primadis pointed to Fina on the side, Diluka thought about it and accepted the suggestion.
"Come on, Fina, please start from the beginning."
"Okay." Fina leaned sideways and began to tell the story of her and Rocky...
