Can't I develop my own character?

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's what it is."

"Why not?"

"It's nothing... Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll take care of it."

Ryan was shocked because he thought Casradi was going to check his bank card. There was indeed not much money in the treasury and it could not withstand an inspection.

However, he still has a way to pay the pension.

Moreover, this pension should indeed be issued, otherwise the people's morale will be shaken, and it will probably not be so easy to recruit new soldiers in the future.

Civilians are not fools. They want to be soldiers because they can have food to eat, but they want to be soldiers and die. They say it is for honor and for the empire. They are just working at the bottom level. What honor can you give them?

It’s better to use some real money.

"Your Highness, do you have any money on you?" Ryan asked.

Although Casradi was puzzled, he still said, "If we pool our resources, we can still come up with four or five hundred gold coins."

"That's one thousand gold coins."

"Huh? What do you want to do?"

"Give money." Ryan said with a smile, "I'll hold a fundraising event later and invite the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city. Your Highness will just have to show up and put in a thousand gold coins in front of everyone. This money will be used to pay pensions, but I estimate there will be some left over, and the extra money will continue to be used to build the city defense army."

Casila blinked, a little confused. Using the money raised to pay out pensions? Were they really willing to do that? And where would she get a thousand gold coins?

"Your money will be returned to you when the time comes, and we will keep the nobles' money."

"what."

Casradi understood.

She suddenly felt dumbfounded.

"Ryan, you are a genius."

...

The money of the common people was returned in full, and the money of the nobles was divided into 30% and 70%. Although Casradi was not considered a commoner, as a princess she was not actually rich.

When it comes to wealth, the rich are still the nobles and wealthy businessmen!

As long as Casradi takes the lead, even if the nobles are unwilling, they will pay money in order to curry favor with the princess.

And the more Casladi paid, the more they got. Conservatively speaking, it should not be a problem to collect several thousand gold coins this time.

Although Berman City is not big, there are many wealthy businessmen. For example, Jack's family is in the mineral business and they really have a mine at home.

The border is in chaos, and things like minerals, medicinal materials, food, etc. are in great demand. The minerals are used to make weapons and equipment, so there is never a need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Rich businessmen have their own desires. Although they are rich, they have no power. If they want to squeeze into the aristocratic circle, they must seize every opportunity.

After leaving the castle, Ryan quickly began planning to hold a fundraising party... Um, a party, don't you want to attend the party? Come on, I'll give you the most expensive meal!

As long as he engraved Casradi's name on it, Ryan would not be afraid that people would not come.

If you don’t come, you will be disrespectful to the princess. I have sent out the invitations, do you dare not come?

the other side.

Shortly after the princess rescue plan came to an end, in the distant headquarters of Janus Gate, on a dark and desolate grassland, a blood moon hung high in the sky, shadows were everywhere, and the air was filled with an ominous atmosphere.

Uh-huh! ~

Lin Qi's figure appeared on the hillside. She looked around and then rushed in one direction.

In her personal status, there was a line of words displayed: [Lin Qi.lv30]

Chapter 68 Lin Qi's Third-Level Job Change! The Otherworld and the Gilded Group [6k5]

Ever since Lin Qi was taken to the Gate of Janus, Ryan would go online every day to take a look and then leave him alone after making sure there was nothing special.

It’s not that he doesn’t love his wife anymore, it’s just that he doesn’t understand the internal mechanism of the Janus Gate.

Ryan came to a conclusion that for things that you don't understand, the effect of AI AFK will usually be better than manual operation.

So Ryan followed this conclusion and let Lin Qi stay alive. Nothing would go wrong anyway with the High Priestess Leah leading him.

In general, he checked the idle records from time to time these days. The Gate of Janus is not an imperial force, so there are not so many palace fighting plots.

However, there is a stricter "hierarchy" system here than in the Empire. People with higher positions enjoy everything, and what they say is the holy scripture, the will of Janus. People with lower positions must be humble and listen to teachings.

Under this system, the atmosphere was certainly not pleasant, and the entire headquarters palace was filled with a solemn atmosphere inside and outside.

There was no debauchery, no laughter, only the occasional ringing of bells and the chanting of scriptures. Apart from that, there were prayers in the cathedral and various "God's words".

If Ryan were to evaluate it, this is indeed a place that cannot be faulted at all. The only purpose here is 'Janus's will is supreme', and the hierarchy built around the belief in Janus strictly controls the entire Janus Gate.

To be honest, if someone has a short temper and lives in a place like this, they would probably go crazy.

However, this system also has its advantages. If you want to climb up, you don't need to use all kinds of connections like the imperial nobles. You just need to prove that you have enough talent.

Otherwise, 'Lin Qi' wouldn't be so valued by Leah. If it were a cool novel, there would have been villains trying to strangle the protagonist in the cradle... although these villains basically just came to give experience in the end.

Having said that, because the Gate of Janus has been developed for such a long time, the talent requirements are also extremely high. Only those who are at the fourth level of age like Leah can become a high priest. If it were the Fire Covenant, she would have been raised by the headquarters long ago.

However, Lin Qi's talent is naturally beyond doubt. There is no other Silent Sister in the entire Janus Gate. She received an audience with the contemporary Pope on the second day after arriving here.

Although no specific benefits were promised, this treatment was indeed unique in the Janus Gate.

Therefore, Lin Qi is in a very good situation here. She has High Priestess Leah serving her and the Pope backing her up. Who would bother to mess with her?

And her talent is enough for her to participate in this year's Saint election.

But it was still early, so Lin Qi just stayed there peacefully, fighting monsters, leveling up, and shopping. He lived a much better life than Xia Li and Wei Nei.

The headquarters of the Gate of Janus is located in the city of Sangro in the center of the continent. It is a large city with a population of three million, and almost all of its residents are believers who have a fanatical belief in Janus.

The entire city is completely controlled by the Gate of Janus, and every year the supplies and talents delivered from the major branch churches will also gather here.

After thousands of years of development, although the Gate of Janus has never participated in the struggle for continental hegemony, its influence is unmatched by any other country.

Ryan has watched the development of Janus' Gate several times. His conclusion is that the Vatican is a behemoth and has the potential to become a classic villain. However, so far everything is thriving and no problems have been found.

But... the strict system, the strict hierarchy, the fanatical belief, all these factors combined made Ryan always feel that it was a bit too rigid, as if the entire Janus Gate was a huge operating machine.

Are you happy? Oh Janus, personal desires will only lead to corruption, give up this terrible idea.

'Lin Qi' was not interested in the affairs of the Janus Gate. What she was doing now was what all the ascetics and paladins often did - cleaning up the other world.

The power of the Outer Gods has cast a shadow on this world, breaking the barrier between reality and illusion. In order to prevent this power from polluting the real world and preventing demons from reappearing on earth, the Gate of Janus is responsible for the important task of clearing the power of the Outer Gods - this is the explanation from High Priestess Leah.

The Outer Gods are Droclodes, the God of Blood, Morathi, the Lord of Trickery, Rodyte, the Goddess of Desire, Maeve, the Spirit of Chaos, and Hera, the Goddess of Death.

Their power becomes stronger through the sacrifices and faith of their believers, so the Janus Gate has been committed to eliminating paganism and reducing the influence of foreign gods... To put it bluntly, it is to fight for the faith of their own gods, even though they claim to eliminate the harm caused by foreign gods.

Ryan only found out later that the exclusive copy in the game was actually the other world.

However, these otherworlds are different from barriers. They exist in the "cracks" created by the collision of reality and divine power, and are filled with countless monsters born from the power of foreign gods.

For example, the evil spirits that Lin Qi killed after changing his job were the ones who broke through the cracks and came into the world.

However, the inner world that can produce monsters is not found everywhere, otherwise the continent of Rhea would have been in chaos long ago. It must be said that the Janus Gate's efforts to eliminate paganism have indeed made important contributions to the people of the world.

At least the world is not in chaos, right?

The headquarters of the Gate of Janus possesses a method of entering the inner world. They also periodically dispatch paladins and ascetics into the inner world to eliminate monsters in order to reduce the influence of the power of the outer gods and the probability of monsters breaking through the cracks and appearing in the world.

At this moment, the place where Lin Qi was located was an inner world polluted by the power of foreign gods.

An ancient and desolate atmosphere fills the land.

The blood moon hangs high.

The smell of 'war' permeated every corner, and the air was filled with a visibly turbid pollution. The earth was soaked in blood red. On the grasslands, fighting and shouting became the main theme of the chaotic space.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

This is two monster armies fighting each other. Although they have human body shape, they look extremely hideous and terrifying. Some have horns on their heads, some have wings behind them, and their skin is bright red. They look more like "demons" than humans.

Lin Qi stood at a distance and watched for a while, and when the fighting reached its most intense level, she suddenly moved.

Swish!

The girl in gray nun's clothes was quick and impulsive, with movements as agile as a ferocious leopard. She rushed into the battlefield, swept through the chaotic crowd, and finally locked her target on a huge demon.

This demon was over three meters tall and extremely strong. Two sharp fangs protruded from its ferocious face. In his hand, he held a thick stick, smashing the enemy's head into a pulp with it.

[Demon Had of Chaos Space.lv33]

Big blood-red characters were written above his head.

Lin Qi instantly thrust out his dagger and stabbed it into the demon's heart.

The demon's health dropped sharply.

"What a foul smell! It's the damned lackey of Janus!" The demon Had roared angrily, "The Blood God's gift, the Blood God's gift, use your blood to sacrifice to the Blood God!"

boom! boom! boom!

The big stick hit him three times in a row, but Lin Qi dodged it successfully each time. Just as Had was about to chase him, the demon suddenly rushed out from the shadows and almost knocked him out with an uppercut.

Had took a few steps back and shook his head. Before he could come to his senses, the demon's fists came at him like a rainstorm.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...

Had was beaten back repeatedly, and Lin Qi took the opportunity to attack him, stabbing him with the knife again and again.

I have to say that the Silent Sister profession is indeed suitable for single combat. Single combat is two against one. The speed of the demon spirit is too fast and ordinary people can't handle it at all.

Before long, Had's health bar was half gone.

Roar!

"Great Blood God, grant me strength!"

Had broke free from the two men and roared to the sky.

The next second, a group of demons behind him who looked like 'priests' raised their withered staffs and chanted strange spells that were incomprehensible.

The power of the chant turned into blood red and descended in the air. The turbidity floating in the air quickly gathered towards Hader, forming flowing blood lines on his body.

The aura of Hader became stronger and stronger, and his body became bigger and bigger.

shuh~

'Lin Qi's' forbidden magic field is released.

The gray area quickly spread outward, and the chanting of the priests shrouded in the area suddenly stopped. The expressions on their faces froze instantly, as if someone had strangled them by the neck, and blood flowed from their facial features.

At the same time, the blood-red power on Had's body was extinguished with a puff, and he was also attacked by the backlash of magic power. Not only did his health drop a lot, but he even fell into a stuck state where his spell casting was interrupted.

The demon spirit continued to attack, swinging out fists like a rainstorm.

Its only attack skill now is continuous punching. As long as the attack is not interrupted, it can punch faster and faster. Unfortunately, the monster cannot learn combo skills, otherwise it will be invincible.

Finally, the demon Had fell to the ground under the combined attack of Lin Qi and the demon spirit.

【You killed the demon elite: 22/30. 】

Bang~~

A large ball of light burst out from Had's body.

'Lin Qi' swept his hand and stuffed all the things into the backpack. The next second, the magic spirit wrapped around him and blessed him, and he went into full power!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, a group of demons followed her.

Some of them held guns, some held bows and arrows, and some flapped their wings and flew up, angrily attacking Lin Qi, the guy who killed their boss.

With such a large group of demons, even a fourth-level transcendent would feel scalp-tingling, let alone a third-level one.

But Lin Qi was obviously used to this. She dodged the attacks while running for her life, and had no intention of stopping to fight the opponent. After all, this was her job transfer task. Otherwise, who would have nothing better to do than to stir up a hornet's nest?

After about half an hour, Lin Qi bypassed the mountains, passed through the forest, and finally got rid of the group of crazy demons.

Open your backpack and check your loot.
