Chapter 299: Confidence, suggestions and hidden dangers.
After a long while, Li Decai finally came out of his contemplative state.
"My plan is this." Li De then told everyone about his plan, as well as some information related to the original work.
After listening to Li De's plan, everyone understood what Li De relied on to be confident of obtaining the noble status and territory.
After all, the lord of Axel, Alexei Banes Aldap, had no children, only an adopted son who had no power or influence.
Under normal circumstances, this adopted son would definitely have the right to inherit the territory and title, but this would only be possible if Alderp died an innocent and normal death.
But Alderp had done so many evil things that if it weren't for the help of the slightly abnormal devil Duke Maxwell, his evil deeds would have been impossible to cover up.
But even if the Demon Duke Maxwell is there, as long as Reed is determined to attack him, he will definitely not be able to escape.
After all, he was just lucky enough to get a divine tool that could randomly summon monsters, and he himself was a piece of rubbish with no real ability.
Recovering this artifact and guiding him to tell the demon Duke Maxwell to terminate the contract would be enough to make him pay the price and go to hell.
"What do you think of this plan generally?" After saying this, Li De waited for everyone to digest it before asking.
After all, he would not blindly think that his plan was perfect, so after forming a team, Li De would always put forward his plan for everyone to discuss.
"Master, regarding the title and territory, I hope to have the right to make on the spot." Alexia spoke first.
"Alexia, isn't Sid's plan complete enough?" Claire asked with a little dissatisfaction.
“Lord Claire, there is indeed no loophole in the master’s plan, and the title of a baron is indeed within your reach, but facing a territory that is about to be ownerless, human greed may exceed your imagination.
Even if the nobles in the capital can't get it, it's still easy for them to do bad things. Only after balancing the demands of all parties can we ensure that we can get the title and territory. Don't forget, everyone, we are just ordinary people here.
I can't stop those who want to confer titles. After all, they saved the life of the prince who has the first right of succession, and it would be disheartening if I didn't reward him with a title. But the territory is another matter, so I do need enough authority to deal with those people without using force."
After listening to Alexia, Victoria on the side said with some dissatisfaction: "Can't we use pupil skills to solve these problems?"
"Victoria, you also heard how powerful the artifact sent by the goddess is. We have no way of knowing whether there are any artifacts that can restrain pupil skills among the belongings of the royal family or nobles.
Personally, I think that since we can negotiate, it is better not to use force even if it is a little troublesome. After all, we have no shortage of rejuvenation drugs, so why bother about it?" Alexia looked at Victoria and answered.
"Alexia, this matter is now fully under your control. I only care about the final result." Li De said immediately.
"Yes, Master. I will never let you down." Alexia nodded with a sweet smile.
"Is there anything else to add?" Li De continued to ask.
"Master, regarding the Inquisition, I think it is better not to set it up." This time it was Esdeath who spoke.
"Tell me what you think." Li De was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Master, you just said that the goddess will come down to the mortal world this time, and she will definitely be able to deal with the demon army that has been causing trouble for this area, and this continent will usher in the long-awaited peace. Without external threats, the top leaders of the Eris Cult will probably have time to spare.
The first to be hit would most likely be the Axis Cult that established the Inquisition. After all, the state religion of this kingdom is the Eris Cult, and once peace is restored, they will definitely target the expanding Axis Cult.
In addition, their beliefs are different, so aren't they heretics in each other's eyes? Without the Inquisition, the other party might not find an excuse for a while, but with the Inquisition as an excuse, the situation might not be the same. At that time, perhaps the goddess Eris would have to send down an oracle herself to stop it.
Although we will definitely have completed the task and left by then, since the master wants perfection, there is no need to leave such a fuse. Especially the Inquisition is not a good place, and true Axis believers can easily go to extremes.
My suggestion is to directly transform the territory's army into a Knights Guardian Order. This will not only ensure the force, but also reduce the risk of bloodshed with the Eris Order. It can be said that we can kill two birds with one stone." Esdeath gave her own suggestion.
In fact, the Inquisition proposed by Li De was mainly to perfect the structure of a church as much as possible, so he did not think too far-reachingly.
But Esdeath thought too much. After all, Reed's idea was to let her be in charge of the Inquisition before leaving.
If it weren't for this, there would be no need for Reed to bring Esdeath and Ibiki to this world.
That's why Esdeath had to express her own opinion.
After all, Li De's original intention was to complete the task better, not to leave a root of trouble for the Axis Cult.
"I didn't think it through enough, so I'll implement it according to your idea." Li De nodded and admitted.
After all, no matter how much Li De perfects the plan in a short period of time, it is impossible to make it foolproof.
After saying this, Li De looked at everyone again.
"Master, I have an extra question." This time it was Alexia who spoke.
"You ask!" Li De signaled Alexia to speak.
"It's about the Adventurer Card." Alexia said immediately.
"Alexia, we asked Bolick and Miyano Akemi to register with the Adventurer's Guild so that they could obtain the job of High Priest. But in reality, the Adventurer Cards may be less helpful to us than we thought.
You should know that the Adventurer Card that collects soul fragments by killing monsters can at most accumulate some points, allowing you to learn some skills, and that's all. If you feel that you don't have enough skills or magic, you can consider it.
Apart from these skills, the improvement of the Adventurer Card on oneself may be quite limited, and it may even be necessary to reach a certain level before you can feel it. So I personally don’t agree with people who don’t need skills or magic wasting time on this.”
Li De knew the purpose of Alexia's inquiry. After all, she had never stopped wanting to become stronger. It would be best if she could become stronger than the other dozen captains.
It is precisely because of this that Li De did not make any final statement.
After all, he also knew that with the ability to create clones or split bodies, everyone could find time to kill monsters.
Therefore, Li De would not force everyone to improve themselves. After all, the captain level is fine, and the other secondary contractors certainly don't have as much knowledge. It is completely possible to take the time to acquire more skills that are useful to themselves.
"Master, I understand!" Alexia nodded.
"So does anyone else have any suggestions?" Li De asked again.
But no one spoke this time. After all, the plan Li De made based on the plot was relatively perfect.
"Since there is no problem, let's take action. By the way, don't crowd in one place to register as adventurers." Li De said to everyone.
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
After answering, the group divided into four teams.
The first team was led by Victoria, who went to Axel with her team members, Miyano Akemi, Tsunade, and Shizune. The purpose was to capture the Axel branch of the Axis Cult, so as to facilitate subsequent missionary operations.
The second group was led by Alexia, who took Alice, Chelsea and Miyano Shiho to the royal capital to carry out the plan to obtain titles and territories.
As for Miyano Shiho, it was mainly to adjust the anti-aging drug. After all, the body structure of people in each world may not be the same, which requires Miyano Shiho to temporarily adjust the drug.
The third group was led by Esdeath. She took Suzuka, Ibiki and Mei Terumi to Alderp's mansion. Their first task was to find the summoning artifact and then get rid of Alderp.
As for after dealing with Alderp, it doesn't matter if Alexia hasn't got the title and territory yet. Alderp's subordinates can learn more about the effects of transformation and eye techniques, so there is no need to worry about the time difference in the plan.
The second task is to collect negative information about the Axel Eris Cult branch and prepare to launch a public opinion war to drive out the Eris Cult.
"What are we going to do?" The remaining Claire looked at everyone leaving, and then asked Reed.
"Let's go take a hot spring bath!" Li De replied with a smile.
"That's good!" Claire smiled immediately.
Then the two of them disappeared into the abandoned castle.
More than an hour later, in a hot spring hotel in Alcanretia, Li De, who had casually filled out the application for membership, sent away the fanatical missionaries of the Axis Order.
"It's really scary. No wonder people in this world don't want to have anything to do with the Axis Cult." After arriving in Alcanretia for an hour and going through countless waves of persuasion, even Claire showed an expression of lingering fear.
This sightseeing trip was really tiring and mentally stressful.
"This is just the beginning. If you don't fill out the application to join the church, there will be all kinds of continuous persuasion in the future, which will definitely drive you crazy." Sitting in the hot spring pool and admiring the sunset, Reed hugged Claire and smiled faintly.
"I don't know how Victoria will carry out her work. The Axis Cult's way of preaching is too easy to make people resist. It may be difficult for Axel to make a breakthrough." Claire couldn't help but ask.
This is not something Claire said nonsense. After all, in Suqing's world, ordinary people avoid the believers of the Axis Cult.
"Don't worry about that. Since Victoria has loaned Tsunade and Shizune over, it proves that she already has an idea. I guess she will probably start with free clinics and then progress step by step." Li De was not worried that Victoria would not be able to break the deadlock.
In his previous plans, except for Alexia's side where Li De had planned the action steps in detail, the others only had general directions and did not have too many details.
After all, Esdeath's main focus is on action, so Reed doesn't have to worry about it at all. Moreover, Reed doesn't believe that Esdeath will fail in two such simple tasks. The only thing that is uncertain is when she will send the good news.
As for Victoria, professional knowledge is required, so there is naturally no need for Li De to fill in the details.
After all, when it comes to missionary work, Victoria and her contractors are much more professional than Reed.
"Free medical consultation is indeed a good idea. After all, everyone likes to take advantage. By the way, Sid, should I register to become an adventurer?" Claire nodded and changed the subject.
"Sister, you decide for yourself. Anyway, I think the abilities most worth learning in this world are all from the great devils, but the adventurer cards probably can't learn the devil's abilities." Li De didn't give any suggestions, he just expressed his own opinion.
"With the devil?" Claire asked, slightly surprised.
"Well, for example, the ability of Maxwell, the demon duke currently summoned by Alderp, is to distort the truth of the world. Another example is Vanir, who can see through everything in the world. I think these abilities are definitely not something that can be copied by adventurer cards.
The skills that can be copied may have some learning value for the Stimulus Contractors, but for us, they are basically useless. After all, we have mastered enough skills at present, and we should spend our time on the research of more core laws. "Li De continued.
"That's right. There's really no need to register as an adventurer." Claire nodded.
In fact, with Claire's current strength, instead of wasting time learning some irrelevant magic or skills, it would be better to use this time to study the law of shadows.
Moreover, at present, whether it is Reed or Claire, the times when they actually take action are very few.
After all, when a battle is needed, the secondary contractors will rush to the front line, and even if the opponent's strength is not strong enough, there is no need for the captain-level figures to take action.
In this case, whether it is Reed or Claire, they should just focus on studying the laws. Why bother about those unimportant things?
While Reed was accompanying Claire to take a hot spring bath, Alexia also arrived at the royal capital with Alice and Miyano Shiho.
"Alexia, it's almost night. How about we find a place to rest first?" asked Miyano Shiho.
"Sister, please accompany Shiho to the best hotel to book a room." Alexia immediately said to Alice.
"Alexia, what about you?" Alice asked her sister.
"Chelsea and I are going to the Adventurer's Guild. It's a good time to find someone during meal time, right?" Alexia said with a smile.
