The unfrequented fortress turned lively instantly with the arrival of everyone Although the fortress wasn’t overcrowded yet, it was still better than the sad emptiness Meanwhile, the most troublesome part finally came

Many e of establishment In future, not only did Rhode need to handle variousthe members of the Church, Trade association, and others to discuss future developh their contracts had been drawn in black and white, so with shi+fts in the environment It would only be considered the start of a collaboration after both sides reached an agreearding the Church Although Mini Bubble Gureed to teach the Clerics battle skills, she had no intentions of unveiling her tips and experiences in the ‘treating foes as friends’ tactic Shortly after, frictions were developed between both parties Fro to teach some conventional battle techniques which didn’t involve the core technical levels However, Lilia was hoping to receive teachings regarding the ‘treating foes as friends’ tactic In the end, Mini Bubble Gum threw tantrums and even suspected that these Church Emissaries harbored malicious intentions to acquire her ‘cheat code’ If not, ould these people keep targeting her special skill? What intentions did they have?

Rhode stepped up to handle this controversy Firstly, he appeased Mini Bubble Guh Mini Bubble Gum was too harsh in her words, her suspicions weren’t unreasonable The ‘treating foes as friends’ tactic was a PK method, but, it wasn’t just a PK method Apart from this tactic, the ‘Turbulence’ and ‘Blood Enrichment’ tactics were also considered common battle techniques for Clerics So, wouldn’t these two tactics be enough for battles?

Lilia gave her honest reply to Rhode that Mini Bubble Gum was insecure about Lilia However, as a matter of fact, Lilia orried about herself too After all, there wasn’t any systehout these years of the Church The only ti the Midsu foes as friends’ tactic Therefore, this tactic became the most practical and effective in the minds of the Church, and at the same time, it had proved positive results for them However, Mini Bubble Gum had intended to teach them an entirely different tactic which wasn’t similar to what Lilia had understood from the Church As a Church emissary, Lilia didn’t kno to react to Mini Bubble Gule thing regarding battle techniques of Clerics and didn’t know that the ‘treating foes as friends’ tactic involved core technical levels invented by Mini Bubble Gum This hy she didn’t expect that Mini Bubble Gum would rebel over this

In the end, Mini Bubble Gue regarding ‘treating foes as friends’ and the ‘Turbulent’ battle style after Rhode’s guidance After all, ‘treating foes as friends’ seeh requirements for techniques and micro-controls Before the arrival of the Church Clerics, only Lize aht was able to learn the ‘treating foes as friends’ tactic This showed how de this technique needed micro-control to be

Without a doubt, Rhode didn’t infor foes as friends’ tactic was considered a core skill for Clerics Instead, he arranged for Mini Bubble Gu that this battle technique required high standards of individual battle attainh for them to reach this standard in a short period of time Not only would this waste their time, they wouldn’t see the desired results too On the other hand, ‘Turbulent’ would be nificant effects and could be considered a decent replacement

After Lilia personally experienced the difficulties of the technique, she finally gave up her thoughts and agreed to report thisas the technique could help in battles and Mini Bubble Gu After all, she was the student and Mini Bubble Gum was the teacher After the Church lowered their stance on this otiations of both parties finally proceeded s to enhance their battle techniques before Mini Bubble Gum would decide the continuation for the next step of technique teaching

After resolving the conflict between the Church and Mini Bubble Gum, Rhode attended to the dispute between Matt’s Trade association and the Keller Family As a citizen of Paphield, Matt knew the Land of Atonement was filled with an abundance of minerals and he hoped to capture a piece of the pie However, the Keller Family had to stay responsible for their fareed to a 7/3 split which was a ht for exclusive h Keller Family wasn’t mindful of Matt’s request because they understood that the Silver Libra Trade association engaged in nu with ores, they orried that their business specializing in ore transactions would sustain losses if they couldn’t obtain their exclusive hts

Currently, Matt didn’t have the manpower to mine ores However, as a ained the exclusive hts, all the futureto theh the Silver Libra Trade association wasn’t this capable, who can guarantee that they wouldn’t be capable in the future? How can he sit idly and watch his people suffer while the Keller Faold coins? Their Trade association was collaborating with Starlight, and he believed that the Keller Family shouldn’t be this cruel to a collaborator

Rhode had a headache with this conflict for a few days, and he finally caain the exclusive hts in the Land of Atonement only for the first two years However, frohts would be converted to priority hts And, after five years, the special treatment for Keller Fa the Land of Atonement open to the public Of course, to prevent Keller Family from crazy excavations and explorations within their exclusive two years, Rhode had warned that if he discovered any destructivebehavior, their contract would be terminated immediately At the same time, the Keller Family would be driven out of the Land of Atone their contract

Matt was content with the terh the representative of Keller Faiven theh the Keller Family was influential in Paphield, Rhode didn’t rely much on them in the first place However, if the Keller Fa refused Rhode’s first overture, Rhode wouldn’tthem suffer for it As a result, the patriarch of Keller Fareed to the conditions and both sides took a step back Rhode extended the Keller Fahts to three years and as a restriction, the number of mines they could oould be limited from two to one If Keller Family held two mines in the Land of Atone plan for any other trade association For the approval of mines, only up to two mines would be approved per year In other words, even if the Keller Fa business massively, it would be impossible for them to mine all the ores in the Land of Atonement Not to mention, if they were to open two mines every year, their name wouldn’t be on the list in the third year

Finally, after sending off Matt and the representative of the Keller Fae According to Vinny, ers wished to move into the fortress However, there were also so that Rhode could coood solution to resolve this problem

Rhode privately discussed with Lize, Marlene, and the rest in a few days and finally ca to accept those villagers ished to live in the fortress, and they would be assigned jobs as contributions After all, the fortress was gigantic and there had to be people who could cook, do laundry, and s would more or less be much more convenient

However, at the saers wouldn’t need to abandon their village because Rhode had planned to renovate the path Deep Creek Village would become an outpost for the fortress in the Land of Atone infor inspections on behalf of the fortress Without a doubt, Deep Creek Village itself would also require a ree was located out of Rhode’s territory, he could only rely on manpower to finish the renovations Apart fro schedules, and forotiated and deter the feather pen on the table, Rhode rubbed his forehead as he leaned against the chair All this workloads had left hiame, Rhode didn’t need to trouble over so many matters After all, constructions and invest as he made a decision, the NPCs would follow suit However, reality wasn’t as convenient Other than the need to consider balancing favors towards various forces, Rhode also needed to guarantee that there wouldn’t be dissatisfactions and complaints At the sauild leader was safe, and all these required a lot of skills and attention Although Rhode could rely on his experience in leading the in-gae player disputes, there were some other matters…

Knock knock knock Marlene opened the door and entered the room She approached Rhode and placed a report on the table

“Rhode, this is the plan for the internal supervising and defense mechanis”
