Chapter 40: Order (Part 1)

  Later, Fang Xin organized the Houtu Church for the first time. Isadore Hagetti, as the only person on the scene who had a good understanding of magic and divine power, possessed knowledge and wisdom that spanned centuries. Of course, he saw more deeply and clearly than everyone else.

  Faith and support are only temporary flames. If they cannot be effectively organized, arranged into programs such as logging, firewood, ignition, stove, and ash handling, the flames will only burn continuously for a while, burning down the forest, leaving only ash in the end.

  Therefore, organizing a church at the first opportunity to control this flame and turn it into an institution is indeed the best solution. If we consider the situation at that time, it was the only choice.

  Han Ni Te is now indeed surrounded by a halo of savior, but in the secular world, he is still a knight, and his power, at least nominally, is still bestowed by the noble parliament. Now, when the halo is dazzling, no one dares to disobey for the time being, but what if the halo fades?

  Moreover, divine right was never the only option; Isidore of Seville may not have heard of the phrase "name rectius, verbum rectius", but he had a similar understanding.

  Fang Xin immediately organized the Houtu Church at the first time, and controlled a certain organization for the first time. This organization must become his backing, and then use this as a fulcrum to start establishing military and political institutions.

  If he is allowed to continue like this, a new world will be born - the birth of scriptures, the descent of miracles, the establishment of churches, the founding of nations, and after several centuries, this world will advance towards the level of light.

  Although all of this takes time, if the start is not interrupted, it will become a fait accompli. Isidore Haight knew that he was the only person in the room who could see this future, and perhaps even Hannett himself did not fully understand - what profound significance his decision would have in the long river of history of this world.

  Feeling the power of light spreading constantly, Isardor Hagt tightened his staff, his gaze fixed on the distant Earl's Castle. It was time, he muttered incantations and disappeared from his room...

  Although it was only ten days, Fang Xin and Ellie felt as if they had been reborn and reunited after a long separation.

  "Hello, dear Ellie." Fang Xin greeted her, and as for the other five nobles, Cheeky Leigh Viscount, Hab Dabs Baron, Eddy Derrick Baron, Colborne Taverner Baron, and Everard Beadell Hereditary Knight, he basically just nodded to them.

  "Hannit, I never thought we'd meet under such circumstances." Elly's expression was complex. In just ten short days, the situation had turned upside down and now all power rested in his hands: "What do you plan to do now?"

  For the past ten days, six nobles had to rush over, but at the same time, they couldn't even see Fang Xin. The authority of the past was useless, and Ye Ying's camp drove them away mercilessly, treating them like servants.

  This undoubtedly made the originally fearful nobles even more angry and furious, the nobles cursed, connecting with former soldiers and knights, but the result of this connection made their hearts cool down.

  Although the soldiers and peasants have recovered from their shock, they have undergone a revolutionary change; while still retaining some degree of awe for the nobility, to try to command them to oppose Hannibal's deliverer would be simply ridiculous.

  Even the knightly class has thoroughly disintegrated and is no longer a reliable force, even if sympathetic to the nobility, they do not dare stand with them at this time.

  After being neglected for ten days and having a thorough vent, these nobles finally calmed down.

  Seeing the nobles calm down one by one, Fang Xin smiled. This cold treatment was indeed one of the basic rights of the superior. Anyway, the colder the treatment, the better some things were handled. He pulled the bell and a middle-aged butler came forward: "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

  "Let's have a feast for all you gentlemen!"

  "Yes, sir."

  Not much time had passed before the butler and two footmen behind him pushed a small cart over, on which were placed delicate pastries and silver tea sets, with two silver teapots in the center.

  A beautiful tablecloth was spread on the table, and then the butler divided the silver plates, cut the pastries into seven portions, placed them in front of each person, took out the silver teapot, poured it into the silver tea set, and suddenly a wave of milk tea fragrance came rushing towards them.

  With an extremely elegant movement, he sat down and said, "Please, everyone, take a seat."

  This display instantly made all the nobles look at each other in dismay, and their sense of superiority vanished. In fact, under these economic conditions, such food was too luxurious, even they didn't have this kind of etiquette and luxury.

  Although they already knew that this Hani people were not the same as those Hani people, the elegant movements and temperament of the person in front of them made them deeply understand this point for the first time.

  Ellie was the first to sit down, and then everyone else followed suit. At least on the surface, the atmosphere was still okay.

  However, breakfast soon came to an end. In fact, although the food was exquisite and the milk tea was fragrant, except for Fang Xin, no one else could eat much, and everyone was preoccupied with their thoughts.

  By the time Fang Xin stood up, these nobles were already somewhat impatient.

  Fang Xing led them to the second floor balcony, where there was not a speck of fog in this space. The sunlight was dazzling and seemed to be the existence of a temple. The entire castle was shrouded in an enormous power, so that for a brief ten days, the garden was full of vitality.

  Everyone sat down, and Fang Xin said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the previous conflicts, I don't want to say anything, but I think you are all wise people, anger, shouting, entanglement is meaningless, I think we should face the future."

  "My origin, I'm sure you all understand by now. I hope that I and you don't have to engage in a fundamental conflict, because if we do, I will feel deeply regretful - it would mean bloodshed, it would mean death. My arrival represents the will of the Goddess, and during this time, if anyone blasphemes against the divine, I will ruthlessly erase him and his family from existence. You should know that I now possess this power."

  Fang Xin said, looking around at the four of them, and indeed felt the shock in their hearts: "What I want to do is establish order. I'm not very interested in territory, but this is a necessary process. Now is the time to build a unified country."

  "Hannit, do you want to be king?" Elly asked at this time.

  "No, the territory here is still insufficient for a king. What I want to establish is a grand duchy. You can call me Grand Duke Hanniet Adin Likoek." Fang Xin said calmly.

  "Great Duke of Likoek!" This means that Fang Xin still recognizes himself as a member of the Likoek family, although who is in charge has been reversed, but Eli and her family will still gain great benefits. Suddenly, she fell silent.

  "What shall we get?" said Cheklee Ree, Baron.

  "Except for Eli's direct recovery of the viscount, everyone's title will be promoted one rank after the war, and they will also receive a territory area that matches their title. Of course, it is impossible to have so many vassals now, but everyone should understand that if we win the war and gain peace, the population will naturally multiply in the future, and after several generations, you will own a rich territory." Fang Xin said with a promise.
