Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

"So? In the end you chose my territory?"

If there were words on his face, Lind's face would be filled with speechlessness.

"What else? Wouldn't you be curious about how the offspring of your mother's first love is doing now?"

Tia was very calm and just spread her hands.

"That's true, but my family tree was destroyed along with my original territory, and this Luo Er is a first name, not a surname, right? Maybe it just happens to be pronounced the same way?"

"It's not impossible for a descendant of a fleeing prince to use his ancestor's name as his surname in order to hide his identity, right?"

Then Tia explained: "I saw it in a knight novel."

At this time, Reina also stood up with a shocked look on her face and said, "That makes sense!"

"No, no, no, why do you think that hiding one's identity would involve using one's ancestor's name as one's surname?"

"No way?"

The two asked at the same time.

For a moment, Lind wondered if he had made a mistake. After all, he was the time traveler, and the two opposite him were the local natives, although they did not look very reliable.

"Well, I originally thought it was unlikely, but after seeing you in person, I don't think so anymore."

After saying that, Tia also looked at Lind's appearance carefully.

Lena immediately hugged Linde's arm alertly.

"OK OK."

Lind waved his other hand, ending the farce.

"Anyway, it's been a thousand years, and I'm not interested in being a descendant of the old empire's prince, but I still want to welcome you, princess of the elven race."

Along with Tia came some rangers, most of whom were young elves who were full of curiosity about the things in the territory.

Especially the huge obelisk in the territory.

Since they were already here, Lind wanted to assign some work to these elves, such as the construction of this obelisk.

The elves are known as a magical race, so constructing mathematical arrays should be easy for them.

But the reality was completely different from what Lind thought.

Precisely because the elves are a magical race, they have absolutely no interest in the arcane arrays and magic triggers that allow everyone to use magic.

However, because they have a natural affinity for magic, the elves can often quickly point out the errors and omissions in the operation of magic in the Mathematical Array. However, these elves are very troubled when it comes to the construction and compilation of the Mathematical Array.

Elves are not good at using runes, or rather, they are not good at using magic tools. Although they can still learn slowly through their long lifespan, they are far from being able to use runes as easily as humans.

Linde stroked his chin and thought. The long lifespan, excellent magical affinity, emphasis on agreements and contracts, and belief in the God of Nature made the elves' lives very simple and plain. It seemed that the elves were born to be supervisors and maintenance personnel.

If there is a chance in the future, Lind even wants to hire some elves to help maintain the obelisk.

Out of courtesy, Lind still took the elves on a tour of the territory. Most of the elves still had a good impression of Lind. After all, after Lind conquered the western part of the North, he took the initiative to follow the contract between humans and elves.

It is rare to find such an honest human lord these days. Tia has come into contact with many humans who were very humble at the beginning, but once they gained power, they would immediately become hateful.

But Lind was different. Back when there was only one gray-collar in the territory, Tia had actually come into contact with Lind through the ranger who delivered magic stones. Lind gave people the impression that the more powerful he was, the more cautious he became.

The human side of the Giant God Mountain is now almost completely controlled by Lind. Lind can completely learn from the previous human lords and completely ignore the contract, paying less or not paying at all, and even the delivery of magic stones by the gray and white collars can be completely stopped. After all, Lind no longer needs the protection of the elves.

But Lind chose to find the ranger and redraft a contract. This was certainly not to continue being a sucker. After all, the territory under the Targon Mountains has been basically unified now, and there is no need to pay third-party fees to the elves. Therefore, this contract is more about the ruling on the trade between the two parties.

"Do you have special holidays in your territory?"

Tia followed Lind strolling on the streets of the territory. Today happened to be a day of prayer, and the streets were full of children running around in new clothes, while the adults gathered in the church for their weekly prayers.

"The human lords I've seen want to make their slaves work even when they sleep at night. This is not a joke. We have really seen your human alchemists research this kind of potion, but in the end it was abandoned because the cost was higher than that of a slave."

Is there still such medicine? I guess the capitalists in Lind's previous life would like it very much. After all, under industrialization, how expensive a bottle of medicine can be is still a question mark. However, Lind believes that proper rest can improve production efficiency. Even if it is just an ideal state, Lind is more willing to believe this theory.

"Even machines need maintenance, let alone humans. According to the Vatican, people should take a day off every once in a while to pray to the goddess, summarize their lives, and reflect on their sins."

Linde greeted the people on the road while answering Tia's questions.

"What about you? Did you take any time off?"

Tia stopped and looked at the church not far away.

"You have neither faith nor vacation, do you?"

Lind did not comment. In fact, the top leaders in the territory hardly ever took a vacation. High-level intellectuals in this era were still too scarce, and most of them were already lucky enough to be able to read, write and do arithmetic.

As a result, the power in the territory is now almost concentrated in the hands of a few people. Especially after Isa left, almost all the pressure from the grassroots fell on Caroline, although she seemed to have no objection and was even more excited...

But this is certainly not a long-term solution. Lind absorbed a large number of old aristocrats and religious figures to form a new bureaucracy and interest groups. But even if Lind has lowered the standards, there are still many old aristocrats who cannot complete the ideological transformation. Once they get power, they will be eager to restore their former status.

Now that the performance evaluation system has been officially implemented, those old nobles who wanted to take advantage of the situation may not be able to bear it anymore. It is said that many old nobles are preparing to move to the neighboring territories recently. Linde has chosen to turn a blind eye to them all. As long as the family property is left behind, everything will be fine.

In the end, most of the elves were assigned to assist in the work at the obelisk. After all, although they were not good at building and compiling mathematical arrays, the elves could help those professionals correct errors and verify calculations. What's more, most of the elves were very curious about this obelisk.

When Lind returned to the mansion, Reina came up to him, sniffed him, and asked, "Brother, are you really not a descendant of the old empire?"

Noticing the subtle change in address, Lind immediately consoled him, "If my family is really a descendant of the old empire, how could we end up like this? It's all Lucanus's nonsense."

"Then why do I always feel that the elves take special care of you? And why did they specially let that elf princess come to our territory?"

For some reason, Reina showed extraordinary insight in this regard.

"You have to explain it to me today. Come on, follow me into the house!"
