Banner of the Evil God

Hopes successfully became a student majoring in mineral processing at New Oriental Technical School. In the next few years, he will learn a lot of things, understand the knowledge of various minerals, learn various means of distinguishing the quality of minerals, and eventually become an expert who can pick out fine products from a pile of ores.

There are more than a dozen people who have entered this major like him, most of whom are dwarves, a few are humans, and there are also a few orcs, but there is only one orc like him who comes from outside the Republic.

Those orcs are very young, and they are a generation born and raised in the Republic. They are very curious about the scenery outside the Republic, and they are full of yearning for the vast prairie, the hometown of the orcs. When talking with Hopes, they have expressed more than once that they want to go to the prairie to trace their roots and find the footprints of their ancestors to see how their ancestors lived.

Hopes seriously advised them to give up this idea. Apart from anything else, the fact that they are orcs but do not believe in the orc gods constitutes a felony on the prairie. If they encounter a more radical tribe, they may be killed directly as a sacrifice to the gods.

"Ah? Killing people as sacrifices? Are the orc gods so cruel? Oh my God! Then I'd better not go!" Sri, a half-orc from the Republic, was surprised. This half-leopard man is a cooking enthusiast, especially good at making rice balls and steamed buns, but he doesn't really want to be a chef, but longs to travel all over the world and see all kinds of scenery.

The reason why he chose to learn mineral processing technology is that he plans to be an explorer in the future and look for mineral deposits everywhere.

Most of the half-orcs in the Republic are like him, with simple ideas and easy lives. They are not really stupid, but they usually live in a friendly environment and grow up with the kindness of their family and neighbors and friends since childhood, so they really can't imagine that there are places in the world where they will become sinners or even lose their lives just because they don't believe in a certain god.

Hopps really envied their innocence. Although he is not very old, he is definitely not an ignorant rookie. In what kind of environment should he grow up to have such a personality and way of thinking? He can understand it with a little thought.

On the prairie, even the pure-blooded nobles who came from powerful tribes were usually full of calculations and disputes. Many people were full of vicious or cunning thoughts at a young age, and there were many people whose hands were stained with blood.

As for the ordinary civilians, they were even more miserable and embarrassed. They had to work hard every day to hone themselves, just to make a name for themselves in the wars that seemed to be commonplace, or at least to survive.

Countries often envy the fact that almost all the orcs were soldiers, but how many people can truly understand the bitterness behind "all the people are soldiers"?

In comparison, the Northwest Republic is just like the legendary kingdom of God, full of peace and joy.

Although he has not lived here for a long time, Hops feels that he has fallen deeply in love with this place. Even if he cannot become an excellent ore dressing craftsman in the future, even if he lives by doing odd jobs, he will live here for a long time.

Maybe... it would be nice to live here for a lifetime.

Just when Hops was living a dull student life, some half-orc refugees from the Orc Empire set off a big ripple in the Northwest Republic.

They believe that they are believers of the orc gods and should worship the gods no matter where they are, so they demanded to build altars for the orc gods in several settlements.

To be honest, this matter is not a big deal, but when Mrs. Tig brought it up at the high-level meeting, Sui Xiong, who was always gentle, became furious.

"Today we want to build an altar, tomorrow it will be a temple, the day after tomorrow it will be a requirement to establish a food supply system that suits their habits, and then it will be to exclude other people's eating habits, and then exclude other people's culture and traditions..." His face was cold, and he exuded a murderous intent, "In the end, it's probably either to believe in the orc gods like them, or to be killed, right?"

"I tell you, I will never allow this situation!"

The high-level officials of the Republic did not expect him to oppose it so fiercely, and they could not help but look at each other.

"Your Majesty... are you taking the problem too seriously?" Mrs. Tig was stunned and asked hesitantly.

"Serious?" Sui Xiong sneered, "Has anyone of you lived in the Orc Empire?"

"I lived there for a while." Leon said, "You know, the Western Wasteland. The situation there is generally okay... Although the power of the Orc gods is indeed huge, pushing other temples to the margins of society, no matter what, at least the other temples are still there."

"The Western Wasteland is because adventurers of various tribes gather there. They are rough and fierce, and they can draw their swords and kill the whole family if they disagree with each other - you yourself were like that in the past! No matter how fierce the orcs are, you can't be cruel to them." Sui Xiong sighed, "But our republic is different. Here are all good people who abide by the law. Many people have never stained their hands with blood since they were young, and have never even held a knife. They look at people and things, mostly like to look at them from a good perspective... But those orcs are not like this! If they are allowed to toss here, the situation will really be very bad!"

Leon nodded slightly, understanding what Sui Xiong meant.

In the Northwest Republic, the common people are not weak. As descendants of pioneers, they are very brave and strong. But they are generally kind to others. If this kindness is exploited, it is easy for those malicious forces to grow and become a cancer of the country and society.

"So, Your Majesty, how do you think we should deal with it?" he asked, "Reject their request, or force them to convert?"

Sui Xiong was silent for a while and sighed.

"I haven't thought about it yet... Do you have any good ideas?"

"I think your Majesty should not come forward in this matter, just let us come forward." Gerard said, "Your status is high. If you come forward, this matter will become a big deal."

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment. When he heard this report, he immediately subconsciously thought of some things before the crossing, and naturally took the problem very seriously.

But... imagine carefully, it seems, it seems, maybe... even in the world before the crossing, like himself, the absolute top of a country, do you really need to worry and be nervous about such problems?

"It seems... I really don't need to show up..."

"Yeah, in fact, there's no need for someone at the level of the Grand Consul to show up. Just send a Consul to severely reprimand them and that's it." Xuehua still used her painting method to increase her persuasiveness. She drew a group of small ants, chirping and talking, and then a huge fist fell from the sky, with a cross next to it; then she drew the same group of small ants, and a big dog came over, spitting and spraying them all over the place, and a check mark next to it.

Sui Xiong looked at the painting and couldn't help laughing.

"You are right, I reacted too strongly. I'll leave it to you to figure out a solution. Anyway, don't give those guys a chance to get even further!"

"Yes, sir!" Several voices answered in unison.

For today's third chapter, I always count the early morning as the day's. So when there is another chapter at night, of course it will be counted as today's.

By the way, you can only vote for two monthly tickets every day. If you don't vote now, it will be too late to vote tomorrow night!
