The Land of Wind, where Sand Hidden Village is located, although it has the largest land area among the five major countries, it is the poorest one in them.

In the final analysis, it is because most of the so-called land is desert.

There is no effective output other than the ability to provide more sand when the wind blows, making the dust storm bigger.

So much so that the entire country's economy depends on foreign trade.

Although rice cannot grow in the sand, there are abundant mineral reserves underneath.

Exporting ore in exchange for grain from surrounding countries is the practice of the Land of Winds.

Bartering itself is not a big deal, but bad is bad in the country of the wind, there is no bargaining power at all.

Can I not want your family's ore for a month, can you go a month without eating?

Therefore, the ore of the country of wind is often forced to be sold at a low price, and the grain that can be exchanged for is less and less.

"The industrial structure of this place is too thin, right?"

After Kimura Lingren decided to go to Sand Hidden to do some big construction, he embarked on a journey to the Land of Wind.

Along the way, he walked and looked and found that the country's population was all concentrated in the ore industry.

At the bottom are the miners who mine, who can only rely on selling hard and desperately struggle near the subsistence line.

Further up are the people engaged in ore smelting.

It's better than working hard, starving, but you need to endure the heat of the stove all day, and life is no better.

Further up, there are skilled trades like blacksmiths.

Because there is a certain threshold, the income is relatively considerable, and it is not a problem to feed a family.

If you also make ninja tools such as kunu shurikens and do business with ninjas, you can jump to the middle of society and become the envy of everyone.

Of course, the profession at the top of the chain of contempt has to be a ninja.

As long as you come up with a few random tasks, you can earn the money that ordinary people can earn in a few months.

What the? You say ninjas can die in missions at any time?

In the Land of the Wind, this is not a problem at all.

High income and high risk inevitably coexist, and even if he dies in battle, Shayin will pay a large pension.

Anyway, it is better to die in battle than to die of starvation.

"In case something goes wrong with the ore, I'm afraid the whole country will have to finish playing together."

Ore is a non-renewable resource, there will always be a day when it is finished, and this day is not too far away in Kimura's opinion.

Although Shayin Village deliberately concealed it, Kimura Ling Ren can still see some clues based on the declining ore trading volume every year.

Coupled with his observations along the way, he found that many of the original mines had been abandoned.

The towns built with mines at their core have also become particularly depressed.

For example, the town where Kimura Lingren is now located.

A few years ago, the mines here were not fully drained.

The streets of the town are full of people, foreign merchants have goods, local ores are in demand, and the market is a lively scene every day.

Everyone's life is not to say that it is thriving, but also has a hope.

But after a few years, the mine was hollowed out, and the miners suddenly lost their source of income.

They had to leave their homes and seek a living elsewhere.

As a result, the houses on both sides of the street were vacant and were not maintained for many years.

It had basically collapsed half under the erosion of wind and sand, and now walking down the street, if not for the occasional few people passing by, Kimura Ling thought that he had come to some ruins.

At this moment, a thin middle-aged man spoke to Kimura Lingren.

"Young man, do you want to know about the evangelical church?"

The middle-aged man handed Kimura Rinto a leaflet, and taking advantage of his opportunity to stretch out his hand, Kimura Lingto saw that two of his fingers were broken.

Judging from the scars on his hands, the middle-aged man should have been a miner here before.

You can lose your finger in an accident.

"Evangelical?"

In order to obtain more realistic information, Kimura Rinto used the Transfiguration Technique to perform a round of disguise.

If you look yellow and thin, and wear clothes full of holes and patches, you can perfectly integrate with the villagers here.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally caught a fish.

Evangelicalism, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is a vest of a cult.

"That's right, as long as you join our church, you can receive a bowl of white porridge for free every day!"

"Not only can it quench the heat and thirst, but it can also fill the stomach."

"After that, for every person who joins the church, he will receive an extra bowl every day."

"If you perform well, you can even eat meat!"

The middle-aged man was very excited, and his eyes lit up when he mentioned meat, as if he had eaten it.

But after listening to this set of words, Kimura Lingren immediately thought of another thing: pyramid schemes.

It seems that the cult has a thorough grasp of the weaknesses of human nature!

"But... Didn't the village entrance post a notice saying not to join a church of unknown origin? "

That's right, Shayin Village, which has been infested by evil gods, has implemented a series of control measures throughout the territory.

Even in such remote towns, notices are posted.

However, middle-aged people are obviously dismissive of the so-called notice.

"What if you stick it? How can those ninja adults have time to take care of us little civilians?

"Instead of worrying about being discovered, it's better to worry about starving to death one day."

"Don't hesitate young man, young people like you are exactly what our church needs!"

"If you perform well, you may be able to become a senior believer."

"I heard..." The

middle-aged man moved out the larger cakes in order to lure Kimura Lingren into joining.

"High believers can be blessed by the true God, and everyone has a bread tree that bears fruit three times a day!"

"Then you can eat sweet and delicious white bread every day!"

There is no bread tree, but there is another tree that can hang people to dream, or do you want to experience it?

Kimura Lingren complained madly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to agree and nodded.

"Okay, I'll join."

The middle-aged man saw that he had finally turned to a new person to enter the teaching, and from today onwards, he would be able to drink two bowls of white porridge a day, and his face was also happy.

Under his leadership, Kimura Lingren came to the stronghold of the cult here.

The stronghold is hidden in an underground cave, which should have been discovered by workers who had previously mined here.

The cave underwent some simple transformations, with words carved into the walls.

Kimura Lingren looked at it a few times and did not continue to look at it, they were all "cannibalistic" words, which should be the teachings of the cult.

At this time, it was dinner time, and a long line formed on the side of the cave.

They all held bowls in their hands and waited for the people at the end of the line to give alms of white porridge.

Kimura Lingren looked at the situation of these people in line, and most of them were chanting words in their mouths, as if they were carrying something.

Because even after joining the church, porridge is not taken for nothing, and often the person who gives porridge will ask you a word from the teachings.

Only if you answer the next sentence will you be eligible to drink porridge.

In this way, even if you just pretend to believe at first, under years of brainwashing, you will unknowingly become their believer.

The people queuing here are basically not the first time to come, so the speed of giving porridge is fast.

After a while, Kimura Lingren ranked second, and before him was the middle-aged man who brought him into the group.

"Lord Messenger, the latter is the new person I brought, according to the rules, now I can receive two bowls of white porridge a day."

"Can you give me two bowls at a time now, I've been hungry lately."

A bowl of porridge can only sustain life at most, and the cult uses this way to hang you and make you try your best to pull people.

So the middle-aged man pulled to the "off line", and he asked for two bowls at once, hoping to eat a full meal.

"Okay."

Seeing that there was fresh blood joining, the porridge giver also readily agreed.

The middle-aged man wants to get two bowls of porridge, one bowl in the left hand and one bowl in the right hand, and the people around him are not envious.

"Young people do not be afraid, as long as they join our evangelical religion, we are a family."

"I don't have a hard time for you, as long as you say the first sentence of our teachings, this bowl of porridge is yours."

"Come on, you should have seen it on the wall at the entrance of the cave just now, right?"

Faced with the porridge giver's good manners, Kimura Lingren took a deep breath and slowly replied:

"I'm sorry, I'm a policeman."

"Huh?"

The porridge giver obviously didn't understand it, and there is no word police in this world.

Fortunately, Kimura reacted quickly, even if it was localized.

"I'm sorry, I'm a ninja."
