Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

It felt like seeing a cream cake.

No way? System, are you playing with me?

There were beads of sweat on Locke's forehead, and he wanted to run away, but found that Rhaenys was already standing beside him.

"Locke, what are you going to do?"

"Director, I want to go to the bathroom."

"Hold it in."

Rhaenys said with a cold face. Like Eileen, she could easily recognize lies.

Locke could only bite the bullet and stand beside Rhaenys, but his hand had already reached out to Sigurd.

I hope Sigurd can change places with him.

The unknowing Sigurd stood between him and Rhaenys, giving Locke a little more sense of security.

At this time, the square in the West District was already occupied by workers. Most of them were workers who had lost their jobs due to the closure of the refinery. Some of them had found unreasonable jobs, and some had become homeless, beggars, and criminals.

At this moment, they watched quietly as Her Majesty the Queen walked up to the memorial platform in the center of the square.

Since every year during the Festival of Life, a grand memorial ceremony is held at the memorial platform. The memorial platform is kept spotless, and the memorial platform is the highest place in the square. Only by standing here can everyone see it.

People from the Life Church lit the four flint pillars on the memorial platform, and the green flames rose up, forming a 2-meter-high flame mirror.

The figure of Her Majesty Queen Katerina was reflected in the mirror, which surprised Locke.

In this day and age, there are even projectors.

Even people on the edge of the square can see the Queen and hear her voice through these four flame mirrors.

People are marveling at the miracles of Life Church.

The people of the Mechanicus Church are quite disdainful of this kind of trivial skills.

For the sake of Her Majesty the Queen, people from both churches are trying to coexist peacefully.

But only on this special occasion.

Katerina looked at the crowd of people. Most of them were wearing gray clothes, like an endless gray sea. Gray is the main color in the West District. Even if Life's Day is coming, they don't have any extra money to buy more. Green clothes.

She took a deep breath. Even the air in the West District was much turbid than that in the East District.

Katerina's eyes unconsciously fell on Locke, but she quickly took them back.

Although she didn't know why, the investigator named Locke Belmont became more and more pleasing to her eyes, but she still had business to do now.

"Hello everyone, I am Queen Katerina."

Katerina waved to everyone.

The workers looked at her numbly and did not respond as enthusiastically as the people of the East End and the citizens of Trey Bridge District.

The reason is also very simple, because those people are well-fed and well-fed under the Queen's rule, and they are naturally grateful to the Queen, while the people here are either struggling with food and clothing, or fighting against disease and death.

Locke was not surprised by their reaction. They did not throw rotten eggs on the stage, which was considered a sign of respect for the royal family.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that they regard even rotten eggs as cherished food.

Katerina bowed deeply to everyone,

"I'm very sorry that the new Alchemy Bill has caused you to lose your jobs, but I will not amend the Alchemy Bill because it is related to your life safety and the safety of the entire West District."

Various sounds immediately erupted in the square.

If it weren't for the guards and police officers who blocked the way, some workers might have rushed forward excitedly.

"Your Majesty the Queen, don't you want us to live?"

"We resolutely resist the Alchemy Act, we want to survive! We want to survive!"

"We want to work, we want to work!"

The workers who were stopped by the sheriff shouted excitedly.

They are not afraid of being beaten to death on the spot by the sheriff or guards, because they have spent all their savings after losing their jobs, and they will die sooner or later.

Katerina was neither intimidated by the workers' aura nor showed any paranoia or arrogance. Instead, she said in a calm tone,

"I know that many of you have lost your jobs due to the closure of illegal alchemy factories, and many families are facing huge challenges. I am standing here today just to solve your problems, so please listen to me patiently. ”

The crowd gradually quieted down. They looked at the beautiful Queen Katerina and suddenly felt that she had a calm and self-defeating temperament.

"I know you feel that the East Side and the West Side are two different worlds, and there are many injustices. Why can the nobles and capitalists spend so much money, but you have to suffer from hunger and cold, and losing your job means your life will fall into the abyss? Become the most despicable person A homeless man or a beggar?

“Why can’t you just go into the East End and pay expensive fares to cross the Trey Bridge?

"Why are you born inferior? Members of Congress took your votes to power but began to alienate you, despise you, and enact various tax bills to exploit and oppress you?

"Why is it that the Tumen Kingdom seems to be rich, but you are born in the imperial capital that everyone envies, but you live a life that is worse than that of a dog?"

Katerina successfully resonated with the majority of West End citizens and unemployed workers, and their eyes changed from numbness to anger.

Someone in the crowd shouted,

"Yes! Unfair! So unfair!"

Locke had a vague feeling of something bad. He watched more and more workers gathering around him, and the number of people gathered in the West End Square changed from thousands to tens of thousands. Even the buildings in the entire area were filled with people. , the density of the crowd made Locke unable to help but feel shocked.

This was the first time he saw so many people. The gray shadows now had their own faces, their own expressions, and their own emotions.

If their anger could crystallize into substance, Locke believes Kothark will suffer a tsunami of immeasurable damage.

"There are many injustices in this world. We cannot choose our birth, and many people cannot even choose their future. I am standing here today just to give you a chance to choose your future!"

Katerina realized that everyone's emotions had been brought to a climax, so she said loudly,

"All unemployed workers, I am willing to take responsibility for your future, and I will give you two paths now."

"First, choose to join the alchemy factory officially established by the Alchemy Church, but you need to sign a life-long work contract. You must work 12 hours a day, with a monthly salary of 2,000 meters. Contribute to the construction of the kingdom, and you will become the screws of the kingdom.

"Second, join the army of Yorkshire and Linhai County in the north and become an honorable soldier. Each recruit can receive a monthly salary of 4,000 gold grams, and after the soldier's death, his family can receive a compensation of 50 gold grams. , your relatives who are sick can enjoy free treatment at the hospital, and the travel expenses to the north will also be reimbursed by the kingdom.

"I will promulgate the "New Military Law" today to allow the army in Yorkshire and Linhai County in the north to absorb more people. As long as you are willing, the door of the army will be open for you.

"I know that many people think that you have become a burden to the kingdom because you have lost your job and have become homeless or refugees. But I want to tell these people that you are not a burden, you are the pillars of the kingdom. You are young and powerful. You should contribute to the kingdom, and the kingdom is willing to pay for your survival. You will become the glory of the kingdom and show your value in the north! "

Katerina's speech was very inflammatory, especially what she said about the conscription treatment, which was three times better than the previous military service treatment, which moved people's hearts.

Plus, she didn’t look down on these poor workers, but praised them as the backbone of the kingdom, bringing tears to their eyes.

Their faces no longer had numb expressions, and their eyes regained their brilliance, full of yearning for future life.

Locke felt that it would be a pity not to engage in MLM due to Katerina's eloquence, but as a queen, how could she possibly value a MLM organization?

Between becoming an ordinary alchemist and joining the army in the north, the latter obviously offers better treatment.

Moreover, once a war breaks out, there is still an opportunity to make achievements and change classes.

Even if there is no war, the salary is much higher than that of ordinary people. The most important thing is that the queen promises free medical treatment for their relatives when they are sick, and a large pension after death.

"Your Majesty the Queen, I am a girl, can I join the army?"

A clear voice sounded from the crowd.

Katerina looked at the girl who was speaking. She was dirty, but her eyes were bright.

"Yes! There are special female military camps in York County and Linhai County. They will accept you. Every girl who wants to be a soldier is the pride of our Tumen Kingdom. You are as worthy of respect as the men."

The girl wiped her tears excitedly and cried.

The crowd was boiling again, but this time it was no longer anger, but positive feedback of high passion.

They raised their hands excitedly and shouted,

"Praise to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!!!"

"Long live the Kingdom of Tumen, long live Kosolk!"

"God bless the world, God bless the world!"

The tsunami of sound waves formed by cheers and shouts resounded throughout Kosolk, and the west and east districts seemed to be connected together.

When the people in the West District were heard shouting, the people in the East District also spontaneously followed suit and shouted,

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

Locke was immersed in the sound and frowned slightly.

Taking advantage of Compass Drinking Water Company's mistakes, which led to the contamination of water sources in the West District, the Dolan family intervened in Baker Grain Company, took back the grain pricing power, and purchased large quantities of stored grain at low prices.

The Weiner suicide incident was used as a trigger to drag down news tycoon Bill Harper and Congressman Bowman Bister and take back the right of public opinion.

The enactment of the Alchemy Act caused a large number of workers to lose their jobs.

Restricting the export of grain and livestock products to Ellenborough intensified the conflict between the two countries.

Now that the "New Military Law" has been promulgated to absorb this group of unemployed workers, it will not only increase the military strength, but also win the hearts and minds of the people, turning the old aristocratic parties that have been making small moves behind the scenes to promote the labor movement into clowns.

Basically every step is preparation for war.

They are linked together, step by step, no step is redundant, and they even make clever use of the opponent's layout.

Now there is only one trigger left to transfer domestic conflicts abroad and trigger a war.

Locke believed that the thoughtful witch Katerina must have made arrangements.

This kind of layout and arrangement is really scary to think about.

So is her real purpose really just to start a war?

Eileen once said that witches can gain strength from disasters.

Katerina, did you start the war for power?

Or is it just pure, wanting to expand the kingdom's territory and let the kingdom evolve into an empire?

Locke raised his head and his eyes met with Katerina's.

Chapter 163, The Secret Peeper

Katerina saw Locke's inquiring eyes and curiosity appeared in her eyes.

Locke lowered his head, realizing that time was getting more and more urgent, he fully released his hearing and heard various voices in the crowd.

"Long live Her Majesty!"

"Praise Her Majesty."

"The great Queen is really sent by the goddess to save us, Eric, we are saved, our future is saved."

"Great, we don't have to become homeless."

"We can continue to be together in the army and save our family."

"Yes, Jerry, we are going to join the army in the North together, we will have love and bread."...

[Sharp hearing +1]

"Go back and tell Lord Duke Frull that Her Majesty's new recruits bill must not be passed."

"It's too late to stop it now, right? Everyone heard it."

"Damn, Her Majesty actually kept this trick . ”…

[Sharp hearing +1]

“It’s the Queen, Her Majesty, Mom, I saw Her Majesty, I’m going to the North, I’m going to the North.”

“Simon, go ahead, go ahead, if you don’t go to the North you’ll be beaten to death by your brother.”

“Ah? Why does my brother want to kill me?”

“If you don’t climb into your sister-in-law’s bed at night, how can your brother bear to beat you to death?”…

[Sharp hearing +1]

“Her Majesty is simply the incarnation of a goddess, I want to kiss her instep, and I’m willing to pay the price of my life for it.”

“You’re really wishful thinking, if Her Majesty lets you kiss her instep, I’m willing to kiss your butt.”

“You’ve been coveting me for a long time, right?”…
