Li You Ran slowly merged into the wall, and Ailington watched as he disappeared bit by bit from the surface of the wall! This feeling was too eerie. Until Li You Ran completely disappeared, Ailington wiped a cold sweat and said: "Come on! Hurry up villagers, the lord has something to announce."

  The bell in the fort has been rung, this is the only valuable thing left in Ellington's territory that hasn't been taken away to pay off debts. The villagers all gathered at the front of the fort under the summons of the bell tolling. Everyone was worried and uneasy, as the last time they were summoned, a third of the village population had decreased, those who went to war all died on the battlefield.

  Ellington stood proudly on the low castle tower, looking down at the villagers below with a haughty gaze. These were his possessions, but now he needed to use them to exchange for an even greater future.

  "My subjects, there is something very important that I want you to do now. Someone had asked you to sign up before and I already know about it. What I am saying is, regardless of whether you signed up or not! You must go, this is a promise I made as your lord. You will receive a generous reward of one meal per day. The famine has arrived, you must fight for the opportunity to survive on your own. Working is for your own sake, remember not to make mistakes, otherwise you will starve to death."

  Elington's order has come down, and everyone is in an uproar. Originally, several people wanted to sign up, but Li You Ran never showed up. They also said they were afraid of the lord pursuing them, after all, they are actually the lord's people and need to follow the lord's orders.

  Now that they have received the lord's orders, they can finally work for that person with peace of mind. It's just that until now, he still hasn't appeared, and it's unknown whether he will appear or not.

  Just when everyone thought so, Li You Ran descended from the sky, and Li You Ran, who slowly fell from the air, gave the villagers a great shock. They had always thought he was a businessman, but now it seems that's not the case.

  "Hello everyone, I think the lord has already told you my request, now please follow me, I'll take you to the place I've chosen, and you will build for me." Li You Ran's sudden appearance was really shocking to these people who had never left their village in their lives.

  Some people couldn't help but kneel down, constantly kowtowing and begging for his protection. The most ridiculous thing was that someone immediately knelt down and confessed to their daily crimes of stealing chickens and sneaking around, even blurting out things they had secretly looked at next door. The people around him looked at him with disdainful eyes, but he didn't care at all, only sincerely repenting.

  Li You Ran did not expect such a loss to occur, but what surprised him the most was that in the temple's main body, he saw thin white lines extending from the villagers' bodies and wrapping around the shadow's body. The transmission gate had dozens more white lines, and the person who confessed his sins was especially bright. If calculated by brightness, he was the most devout one!

  This discovery left Li You Ran speechless, he had just figured out what this white line was! It turned out to be Faith Energy, of course it wasn't just Faith Energy, all of this was thanks to the legacy of the Time Space God. The Temple of Time Space God was originally a manifestation of the Time Space God's divine power, possessing an autonomous function to absorb Faith Energy. Not only that, but any emotions related to Li You Ran, whether it be sadness or joy, hatred or anger, could all be absorbed by the Temple of Time Space God. Of course, Faith Energy was the only thing that could be completely absorbed, other things needed to be refined and purified through training before they could be used.

  But this situation is quite good for Li You Ran, at least her own strength will gradually increase after the temple absorbs the faith.

  "Get up, everyone! From now on, follow me and you won't go hungry again. On one condition: you must not betray me." What constitutes betrayal, Li You Ran didn't say, after all, the real master is still down there! Although he didn't say anything, and his body had a faint white line, it was intermittent and showed signs of turning red, which was the boundary of hatred. It's better to be less provocative.

  Erlington was indeed furious, although his fear of the law enforcers made him do nothing, but a sudden shock sowed in him a hatred for Li You Ran, after all he was the lord here, but the reaction of the people made him feel like he had been deprived of power.

  Erlington didn't speak up, fearing that his anger would be detected by the law enforcer, which not only meant he wouldn't get the white bread but might even be blasted into smithereens.

  Li You Ran also noticed the change in Airington's faith line, although it turned white again in an instant, but this was a very dangerous signal, Li You Ran had to guard against it, so he decided to take the initiative to attack.

  Leading the crowd, Li You Ran arrived at a small hill outside the village. Although it's not high, it has some height, and most importantly, there is a spring on top of the mountain, although it's not big, but enough for drinking. It can also be used to build a water storage pool or something.

  Many people come here but are at a loss for what to do. What's the point of coming here? It seems like there's nothing here, just a desolate mountain. Even if you want to farm, it's not possible!

  "It's here, Erlinton Knights! This is the hill I need, don't know if it's okay." Ken asked Li You Ran who had already given Erlinton a lot of face, and indeed after Li You Ran asked, the villagers looked at their lord with different eyes, able to trade with an existence as strong as God, and even ask for his opinion, indeed the lord was also blessed by God.

  At this time, Airington also felt the difference in the eyes of the people around him. The envious gaze was something he had never experienced before. Previously, everyone's gaze at him was either fearful or numb, and some even hated him. As for those who were more noble than him, there was only one thing in their eyes - contempt.

  Envy! Such a gaze actually appeared on his body, now he feels that being able to associate with Li You Ran doesn't seem bad either. Of course, this is just an instant feeling. Ailing nodded and agreed: "Since the Law Master likes it, naturally it can be taken away." He didn't dare not agree, if he didn't agree, maybe someone around him would take his life again.

  "It's actually the Lord of Laws! Indeed, he's quite formidable." The villagers thought to themselves, and then they saw that some commotion had already started among them. Especially that one who had just confessed his crimes with such relish, his eyes were almost bulging out - wasn't it just a slow reaction? He was on the verge of biting him, but seeing the lord agree, the villagers cheered.

  Of course, the content of their cheers was different. The one who repented was overjoyed that his heart's desire had finally been fulfilled, while most of the others were simply thrilled at the prospect of having enough to eat. Only two people were exceptions: Oak, who was just happy for the kind big brother who now owned his own land, even if it was barren and rocky; and the bread, whose delicious taste lingered on, though he had no idea whether he would ever get to enjoy it again.

  But John was excited, thinking that he had dealt with this powerful and mysterious person, perhaps he could gain some extra benefits, such as helping him manage the workers.

  "Great! It seems that this place is already mine, so next is to instruct you on what to do from now on. I want to build a castle of my own on the mountain, and your job is to help me build it." Li You Ran's words left everyone stunned. This mountain! It's all bare rock, building is possible, but there are no materials at all. Although stone can be quarried locally, for a castle, hollowing out this hill might work, but Master Law shouldn't like living in an underground city, right?

  Although many thoughts have arisen, no one dares to raise any objections or questions. It is believed that if something is done and problems arise later, the Venerable will discover them. However, if they are raised now, who knows whether the Venerable will be displeased? At that time, it would be oneself who suffers misfortune.

  Li You Ran didn't know what these people were thinking, he walked to the edge of an empty space and then opened it up, all the cement and sand inside poured out. After pouring everything out, Li You Ran spoke: "These are materials, there's still some that haven't been transported yet, use a little less for now, I'll go get more later. Later on, I will select one of you personally and teach them how to use these materials, let them lead you all in helping me build."

  Is this about choosing a leader? The crowd became agitated, everyone eagerly hoping to be chosen. If they become the leader, not to mention having great power, their status would be different from the start. Perhaps, no, it's not perhaps, but definitely, the treatment would also be greatly different. Moreover, it's clear that now is the time to learn a skill. You know that in this world, any technique, even just making horseshoes, is kept secret, and some people would rather let it die out than teach it to others.

  So when everyone knew it was going to be a competition, they all got excited and tried their best to impress Li You Ran, but unfortunately, he had already made his choice in his heart.

  "John! Come out." When Li You Ran called out John's name, the John in the crowd had a surprised look on his face. Although he was confident in himself, when he was really called upon, he couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement inside. Was this what it meant to be a foreman? As a mage worker! It was simply too honorable.

  "Master! John has arrived!, it's an honor for John to serve you." Cunning John, absolutely a person who climbs up as soon as he gets the opportunity, or maybe a monkey.

  Li You Ran was taken aback when John called out his own name, then smiled and continued to read out the next candidate without responding or objecting. Seeing Li You Ran's lack of reaction, John's face fell for a moment but he soon brightened up again, at least there was no objection! That meant he had a chance.
