Warlord: King of All Clans

Brother DeWitt's vision clearly surpassed that of his colleagues, as he was able to help his competitors make stained glass windows.

Even if this was scheming, Leo wouldn't mind too much, at least it meant that the other party was a smart person.

However, the warning still needs to be given. Leo asked casually, "I've only been away for a few months, how come my Olivia has become the Goddess of Holy Light? Won't the God of Holy Light blame me?"

Brother Dewitt was a smart man. He immediately stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "Sir Mondo, this is indeed my suggestion, but it is not out of any selfish motive."

"During this period, the Hewan Territory lost your Excellency's presence, and a large number of refugees poured in, causing chaos. The officials of the Hewan Territory lacked effective methods to appease them. I made this suggestion because I saw that Madam Olivia was exhausted from running around all day."

"Mrs. Olivia is favored by the Holy Light because it is God's will. Saving sentient beings and cleansing people's hearts is the right way. There is nothing wrong with it."

Leo stared at Brother DeWitt, who looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and had to admit that he was right.

Olivia is just a country girl. Her management skills were improved slowly by managing the villagers. It is normal that her management level cannot keep up with the development speed of Hewan.

Perhaps many years later, she will be a capable female lord, but now, she was still a village cadre a year ago, and you cannot expect her to grow into a county party secretary in a year.

It would be a problem if you had the useful Holy Light but didn't use it at this time.

So Leo stopped looking for trouble and asked in a friendly manner, "I heard that you like the cubs in River Bay very much? Do you often substitute for classes at River Bay Elementary School?"

Brother Dewitt nodded. "Yes, I like them very much. The children here are very smart. Well, including the Kobold cubs and Orc cubs that you adopted, they are all very interesting."

Leo smiled in his heart: Of course, the kobold cubs in the river bay kept saying "The Light is with you", which made you feel soft.

So he suggested: "Why don't you take over as the vice principal of Hewan Primary School for me, specializing in teaching Holy Light doctrine and folk beliefs."

Brother Dewitt understood what Leo said and nodded seriously, "Master Mondo, believe me, I will teach you well."

Leo patted Brother DeWitt's shoulder with satisfaction, then turned and left. "Do a good job. I'm counting on you."

The servant boy beside him watched Leo's departing back and whispered to his master, "Sure enough, just like everyone else's evaluation, Lord Mondo is really stupid. He obviously doesn't like the Holy Light doctrine, but he still lets you teach!"

Brother Dewitt smiled faintly and said, "How can you say that such a powerful person has no brains?"

Ordinary local lords only see the way to make money and do not even realize the importance of faith, let alone perceive the hidden threats in it at the first time.

Leo made it very clear that his courses were the teachings of the Holy Light and folk beliefs!

In other words, if his teachings on the Holy Light and the folk beliefs of the North cannot coexist harmoniously, then he is incompetent.

At that time, the lord will decide whether to keep the Holy Light Church in the river bend.

However, Brother DeWitt is originally from the North and is not opposed to the beliefs of his northern ancestors. If he can perfectly integrate them with the teachings of the Holy Light, it will be of great help to his missionary work.

It was a big challenge, but Brother DeWitt felt it suited his needs.

Leo has always believed in one truth: professional matters should be left to professionals.

He still doesn't even know the specific content of the Holy Light Doctrine, nor can he remember the names of the 100 sons of the God of War. It is simply empty talk to ask him to handle the religious conflicts in Hewan by himself.

But it would be a good idea to leave it to Brother Dewitt, a northerner who is well versed in the teachings of the Holy Light and a rare wise man.

He could understand what Leo said. In order to save the Holy Light Church that he had worked so hard for, he could only study the scriptures and find a reasonable explanation for Leo.

And through Brother DeWitt's conversation and his behavior after arriving at the river bend, Leo judged that he was a true believer of the Holy Light Sect.

Unlike general believers, devout believers, and fanatical believers, true believers are true believers, and they do not practice the doctrine just because they think it suits them or is profitable.

Brother DeWitt truly regards the Holy Light Doctrine as his own belief, and he studies it, applies it, and spreads it, rather than simply taking advantage of it.

He felt that Olivia had awakened the holy light and could use this power to comfort the refugees and benefit the people, so he made the suggestion.

This was an open conspiracy. Even though Leo knew that the Holy Light believers would expand, he had no way to criticize it.

Such people are the real core of a sect's development and growth.

After dealing with religious conflicts, Leo also has to deal with racial conflicts.

While the River Reach Territory was expanding rapidly, Fraser's Kobold Valley was not relaxing.

The current population of the Gnoll Valley remains at around one thousand, but that’s not all.

Near the saltpeter mine in the west, Fraser built a new kobold settlement modeled after the Riverbend town.

There are more than 500 dog-headed people in this settlement. In addition to collecting and planting antler cassava, they mainly mine rock salt, gypsum and saltpeter.

In the abandoned ogre tower, Fesa led the kobold craftsmen to renovate the tower, and then stationed three hundred kobolds there to specialize in making cement, glass, dyes and gunpowder.

These small workshops all have a certain degree of environmental pollution, and even Fraser knows how to place them far away.

Before they knew it, the Gnoll Tribe not only produced a large amount of pig iron ingots, rock salt, and cement, but also glass fragments, glassware, and dyes.

However, the quality of the dyes produced by the kobolds is not guaranteed. Some do not fade for three to five months, some melt when exposed to water, and some even damage the fabric.

Some dyes are of poor quality when used for cloth, but produce outstanding results when used for painting walls; some dyes are of bright colors when used for hair, but can cause hair loss.

Normal people are not willing to use these dyes, and only wealthy lords are willing to try them one by one.

After finding a dye with stable properties, he invested it in his own workshop to produce colorful fabrics and ceramics, and then sold them to Isenpol at ten times the price.

The kobold caravans traveled back and forth between the four settlements in the river bend, happily selling their products and never asking the price.

Of course, their target is the industry of the River Bay Lord's Mansion, and foreign merchants have not yet obtained the qualifications to trade with the kobolds.

But at the same time, it also brought back a lot of human bad habits.

Originally, Leo was also very curious about what kind of human bad habits the kobolds could pick up, until he saw several dogs gathered on the side of the road to roll dice. A kobold lost all his bone-shaped biscuits and stood in the middle of the road crying.

Because Frasa was addicted to studying and couldn't extricate herself, she lost control of the ogres. After the poisonous dogs in River Bay, gambling dogs also appeared!

In addition, there are the sweet talk, deception, plunder, and laziness that humans are good at.

So it cannot be said to be a racial conflict, it can only be said that the kobolds and humans get along too harmoniously!
