 They built a new facility at Valliant.

 It was conceived in response to the inhabitants who have developed the habit of worshipping the ice-absorbing stone statues while I was back in the city of Fontana.

 For a while now, I have been thinking about what to do about the governance of this variant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to govern it properly.

 I have crossed the Daisetsuzan Mountains to the east, but the language is different here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 There were probably differences in customs, etc., which had not yet surfaced, and I felt that eventually there would be conflicts between the inhabitants here and the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

 And if someone with such different customs acted as a ruler, it would most likely not go well.

 Even if they succeeded, it would be very difficult.

 Then, what is the best way?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 If the emphasis is on not causing trouble, maybe it would be better to bring people from Fontana and let them live in the variant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 At least there will be less conflicts due to differences in customs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But realistically speaking, it is difficult to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 At least in the short term, it does not make much sense to bring people across the snowy mountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Because there is still land in the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 There is no merit to bring people all the way to such a remote and hard to reach place.

 So, I thought that it would be better for the variant to be governed loosely or indirectly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 In other words, instead of me directly managing this variant, Sura, who was originally the head of this village, would be in charge of the governance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 And I will give orders to Sura, or pay him a tribute in the form of taxes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I thought that would be better for now.

 But if we are going to do that, it would be necessary for Sula and the other inhabitants of this land to be willing to "pay tribute in the form of taxes".

 This can be achieved by winning the hearts and minds of the people, rather than by simply putting in place a physical violent mechanism to hold them down and force them to give up their money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 In other words, we wanted to make the hearts of the people to pay money to the object of their faith.

 So I built a new building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I built it around a statue of me on a Valkyrie that Paul had carved out of the ice-absorbing stone I had made to keep the cold out in the variant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It was built like a Greek temple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It was a windy structure with a number of cylindrical pillars and a roof on top of them, but with the ice-absorbing stone statue inside, the inside of the temple did not feel cold at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Visitors can enter through the entrance and walk up to the statue to worship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The aim of the project has succeeded for the time being, since the people who used to worship the statues are now more enthusiastic about it.

 Incidentally, this facility is not called a temple, but a Jizo.

<<< No, I have. I want Sura and the others to get the power and convince the people of the other villages living in the vicinity to join our side.

 I think I've been doing something crazy for a long time.

 But there was something I really needed to do, just in case.

 It is to increase our strength.

 What if Nadja, the leader of the Mercenaries of Marshel, continues to grow in strength even after being declared an enemy of God by the Church?

 Considering this, it is necessary for us to strengthen our forces as well.

 But it is difficult to do so within the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Because there is still opposition to naming all of Fontana's army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Rather, with the advent of Naja, the danger of unregulated naming has been recognized, and it cannot be done lightly.

 However, the benefit of the magic pass cannot be discarded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 It may not matter if Naja has the great magic of the Doren royal family, but still, the presence of someone with the power of the head of the family in her camp will have a great influence on her future survival.

 Therefore, I wanted to name as many people as possible and create a leader class.

 So, I set my sights on this place in the east, beyond the Daisetsuzan Mountains.

 This place is not under the influence of the church.

 In the Kingdom of Fontana and other noble lands, there are churches in every place, and they name everyone at a certain age, sucking magical power from all over the country.

 I have made the statue of the ice-absorbing stone into something special, and I have given it a name to those who offer their devotion to it.

 Thus, the inhabitants of the first village eastward across the snowy mountains, Sura and all the others, adults and children alike, were given the magic of Barca.

 Sura and his friends then used their magical powers to call on the other surrounding villages to join the variant.
