Vol 2 Chapter 1068: Rebirth Plan (2 in 1)

Martha was surprised by Heliga's actions. She looked at the things in her hands, and at the young man's expression, an incredible look.
This is really...
This is really...unrealistic.
If the above plan can really be realized... just thinking about it, Martha feels dizzy. But after that, she felt a deep sense of unreality.
The most important thing is that in Heliga's plan, there is one that Martha could not even think of-to "restore" the salted land of Northumbria to normal.
"This...how can it be done?" Martha asked blankly-if this kind of technology really existed, the Northumbrians would definitely get it at all costs. The problem is that it is a huge salt layer that occupies one-fifth of Northumbria and has an average depth of several hundred sub-moments. If it weren’t for the ground veins buried deep in the ground to successfully block partial salinization, then stay Most of the place there is already a spherical salt pile.
However, even so, it has already affected the huge changes in the entire topography. How to dig these things away? Where do you want to ship it to? It says...
""The Heart of Red Mountain"? What it is? Martha took a closer look, "Using the power of the "Heart of Red Mountain" to blast a fault there, or trigger an earthquake, isolate the original half-angle territory of northern Northumbria into an island, and then prioritize its geographical use. Advantage, transport the remaining salt away and throw it into the northern sea of ​​sacredness..." Martha looked at the serious thing written on it, and felt absurd for a while, "This, this is impossible..."
"The Heart of Red Mountain" is something that is not with me yet. "Heliga said, "But I can guarantee that it will be in my hands soon. It has enough energy to achieve what I want that day. Compared with that incident, I think I need to confess some imperial secrets with you. I think about it...Let’s start with the "Lion Battle". "

""Great power"..."Curse"...? "Although Martha was perplexed by unfamiliar terms one after another, she also roughly understood what happened. Although she had never heard of such words as goblin and witch before, she But for some reason, she instinctively believed in this. Therefore, she continued: "And you said that the empire's previous attitude towards Northumbria was because the "Salt Pile" was also related to this matter? "
"This is my speculation... But I think it should be the same. There are countless pieces of information that can prove this." Helija nodded, "And I don't know how it is connected. The important thing is that I can come up with something in a very short period of time to prove that I have not lied to you. At that time, you will not feel that everything I said before is lied to you."
"what?"
""Grey Riding God" you have already seen. "Cang", it shouldn't take long. Heliga smiled, "Remember what I just said, the "Scarlet Riding God" called the Thousand Hand Warrior? It is now locked under the ground of Heimdall Palace. Back then, the Scarlet Devil, who was sealed by the witch at the time, was about to wake up. "
"It's the one suppressed by the Lionheart Emperor and the Saintess..." Martha hesitated, "Could it be that you want to give that guy to..."
"Since no one can control him, why don't I try it? Although this ceremony has nothing to do with me so far, but I want to forcefully join in, and no one will think there is anything. Right." Heliga said of course, "It's just that we can't do it right now... That thing is the descendant of the thief-hearted pseudo-emperor, who is now the mastermind and leader of the nobles in the civil war of the empire, and it was planned by Duke Kane. Woke up, he still wanted to personally manipulate that guy to accomplish what his ancestors did not do... It’s just that I’m going to steal the fruits of victory from him. Although he probably couldn’t drive that riding at all, Can only do useless work."
"You went to the western part of the empire to find a chance to get close to him, so as to find a chance to steal "Fei" from him? "Martha understands," But what are you going to do? "
"Vita said that only a strong enough spiritual field is needed to awaken the riding god’s trial system. Generally speaking, starters need some companions to complete this trial, but since Vita said that Klow can solve it by himself Of course, I won't have a problem with this question. As for the weird curse on "Fei", Vita also said that the power in me can suppress it. In any case, it is worth a try. You don't believe the above things now, and I can't force you, but if I can come back with "Fei", you will listen to my opinion more or less? "
"This..." Martha hesitated-she didn't want to believe the boy's plan. It’s just that she has worked a lot for the things in her hometown, and she has seen many things, and therefore she doesn’t believe that anyone can change this place—not to mention that the teenagers who seem to be able to do have no connection with this place at all. It is really hard to believe.
However, it now appears that things in the empire are indeed not that simple-Martha is inevitably hesitating in her heart: If it continues, she will not usher in any changes. Why not take this opportunity to take a gamble? At least, the boy in front of him, what has been shown in the civil war of the empire so far, has given Martha a little understanding of why the church should adopt such a cautious attitude towards him.
"Well...At that time, I will listen to you. If you can convince me then, I will join your plan." Martha finally nodded, "However, I am still very Curious, what do you want me to do for you?"
"It's very simple...For the current autonomous prefecture, even if it lacks one-fifth of the fertile soil, there are still a certain amount of natural resources in the eastern and southern regions of the autonomous prefecture. If there is assistance from the empire and the Republic, If there is enough struggle of its own, it is not impossible to restore Northumbria to a normal standard of living. But the problem is that the imperial government’s attitude is very stubborn, which makes Northumbria practically ineffective. The long-term rescue. Those countries that have tried to assist you when the Principality’s extinction occurred, such as Remi Filia, Lehmann and Libel-later, also because of the "North Hunter" Rampant and incompetent autonomous state governments have withdrawn support for Northumbria. Heliga looked at Martha, who had already lowered her head at this time, "Although I can understand their last resort, you have to admit that for those countries, the existence of hunters is unnecessary, even All harm but no benefit. In such a country, in any case, it is impossible for the Northumbria Autonomous State Government, which cannot control the domestic residents to become the executioners of their residents, to look good. "
"I know...I don't resent these countries." Martha nodded stiffly and slowly, "What's more, among those who work hard for their hometown, there have also been many indulging in life after becoming a hunter. Having fun from burning, killing and looting, I completely forgot why I came out...These people have indeed left a lot of bad marks in many countries and were criticized by the local population..."
"And for Northumbria, the friendly relations between these countries are very important." Heliga nodded and followed Martha's words, "On the one hand, your hometown is experiencing After the previous major collapse, the country’s industrial system collapsed rapidly. Although there were natural resources, it did not form any stable industrial chain. A large number of young and middle-aged laborers left the country, which also caused the country’s successor weakness and gradually evolved into Now this situation. However, now is the critical moment for ushering in change...The empire that has always had a huge force on Northumbria is now undergoing a critical reshuffle stage. The previous empire targeted Northumbria. Leah’s various policies are likely to change when His Royal Highness Olibat gains sufficient influence-I have sought his support. In this case, the country of Northumbria The reshaping of the image will become a big problem and the most critical step-do you know what it is?"
"...It's the integration of the "Northern Hunter" group, right? "Martha said slowly.
"Well. They are on the entire continent, and they are basically incompatible. If they can solve the problem of "the hunting soldiers of the north", they can even take a few key steps and make effective restrictions different from the previous autonomous state governments. It will be able to win the initial goodwill of the mainland countries. Helijia nodded, "In addition, if a large number of "Northern Hunters" returns to government management, it will not only provide the country with a strong standing army, but also supplement the young and middle-aged labor force that is currently in short supply. In this way, huge natural resources can also be exploited, and the country can begin to function. "
"But... the attitudes of other countries will be instantly reversed because of this, and will they be so friendly to Northumbria? Even the leaders of those countries are people of insight and can see how Northumbria is today. The situation is largely caused by the empire..." Martha also has her own worries-she knows Heliga's thinking is correct, but she doesn't think the previous problems can be wiped out all at once.
"Yeah... So, this is the second key part of the plan. Northumbria will experience several turbulences and catastrophes on the entire continent after this. As long as you can show convincing in these events The performance of, can be driven by the atmosphere, in one fell swoop to reverse the goodwill of the entire continent towards Northumbria. If other countries open markets to your hometown, establish equal trade relations, and there is capital inflow-the situation You can also get a huge relief."
"but……"
"This kind of change will definitely happen, and it will be in the last few years." Heliga said categorically. "Whether it is an association, a church, or the various undercurrents hidden under the outside of this world, it is clearly stated. So, what I, or you and I need to do together, is to do all the things that can be done so far, and then try to push things in the direction that is beneficial to us. For now, I have convinced about Master Guru, the technical backbone of the former association, is responsible for the technical work. In terms of funding and political support from the empire, I have the ally of His Royal Highness Oribat, and I have successfully included the family of the Duke of El Barea in Kruchen State. The sphere of influence. If His Royal Highness acts properly, maybe even Nautia will be able to provide some necessary help at that time, especially in industry. Oh, yes, Libel is also likely to join in. , Because Liber’s high-level officials have a good personal relationship with His Royal Highness, and they even have a vague preference for the Empire rather than the Republic."
"..." Reminiscent of general rumors, it is difficult for Martha to deny this fact-if both Heliga and Olibate are willing to continue working hard for this...
"That's why I said that when I get the "Fei", you can understand if I am serious, or just talk casually, just want to deceive your trust. Of course, this plan will inevitably go through a stage of misunderstanding and friction with the people of your hometown...Although political means can be suppressed through violence, as long as the result is good, no one will say anything, just say This is an inevitable power trick of politicians...but I don't want to see the residents of Northumbria suffer any more. I hope I can try my best to solve the problem peacefully... Therefore, this is where your help is most needed. "
"...Then... I think about it." Martha was only half-believing what Heliga said before, but these words really came to her heart. No one wants a stable, peaceful, and prosperous hometown more than she does-isn't this the direction she has been working hard on?
If Heliga really has other ideas, why should he tell himself? Although this sounds very sad, but-Martha looked at the young man who quietly placed the prepared wreath on the wooden sign at the entrance of the village, silently lowered his head, thinking like this-if he really didn't care, he would not There is no need to involve yourself. With his strength and hands-on ability, he really wanted to act like Martha, and he couldn't stop it.
So... why don't you just trust him for the time being, and then make some effort on this premise?
"By the way, Martha... what are the names of the two elder brothers in your hometown who are hunting soldiers and the source of the entire village's income?" Heliga suddenly remembered something, and asked after the silence was over.
