The return to the sword castle was not a sudden idea. In fact, he had considered the possibility of a return when he left. After all, his participation in the kidnapping of Little Lanster may not be discovered. The reason why he chose to escape was due to his cautious nature, and on the other hand, it was because he needed time to study and master the power of the old books.

In his initial plan, he hid outside for a while, mastered the power of the book and then considered whether to go back, and by that time he had already had an answer to whether he was discovered.

He originally thought he would have to stay for a year or two, but the news brought by Captain Edward gave him the possibility of returning early. At the same time, if he wanted to refine magical energy and build the kind of alchemy instruments in the wizard's memory, it also required a lot of equipment and instruments to be bought in big cities.

Nordforson is absolutely impossible, and Norim may not be able to buy it all. With Sean's understanding of the world, only Sword Castle can meet his needs. This academic and industrial center of the Brighton Kingdom, as long as he has money, he can get almost everything he needs.

"Then we can go together, just the way." Aegsha said with a smile, with a hint of ambiguity on her face, "Will you stay tonight?"

Sean smiled slightly, "This is my honor."

That night, Sean stayed at Aegsha's house for a night. He woke up from Aegsha's arms in the morning. He felt that the fatigue of this adventure had finally recovered completely.

After breakfast, Sean returned to his mansion with a refreshing breath.

His relationship with Aegsha is very subtle. He has more and more lovers, **, and friends, but not all of them. Both of them are not too explicit. After all, there is not much love between them. Aegsha is not the kind of little woman who is attached to men, and Sean is not the kind of person who opens his harem without any brains. He is not disgusted with the current relationship, so he has no intention of changing.

When she got home, Sean couldn't help but think about more things.

Originally, the return to the sword castle was just a plan in his mind, but after he told Aegsha, things became imminent. It was already mid-January, and the snow was about to melt in more than a month. He had to prepare for his return home before leaving. If there was anything that had not been done, he needed to do it quickly.

He is preparing to conduct two or three summoning rituals before returning, and there are several summoning spells that can be tested just during this time.

There is also the issue of aftermath that needs to be considered. The coal balls may be brought back, but they will definitely not be able to take them back on Wednesday.

In fact, even if it was a coal ball, Sean was still considering it. After experiencing the adventure, the ferocious hunting dog had grown up completely and looked like a wolf's characteristic and fierce appearance.

In the Sword Castle where there is no prey, it is not necessarily a wise thing to tame such a hound.

However, this matter does not need to be too complicated. The real trouble is Wednesday.

During lunch, Sean raised the topic on the dining table.

"On Wednesday, I may be planning to leave here in a month or two. I'm afraid I can't take you with me. Do you want to stay or let me send you back to your original world?"

He was eating his supper on a small table Wednesday. Since he started eating human food, Sean arranged a small dining table for him and brought him a meal for every meal.

Wednesday was very proud of this and showed off in front of other short goblins.

Moreover, it pays quite attention to the sense of ritual. Every time I eat with a knife and fork, I feel meticulous as if I am attending a king's banquet.

Hearing Sean's words, the movements of eating on Wednesday became significantly stiffer.

"If possible, of course I don't want to return to my original world on Wednesday. Please allow me to stay. Master. I can guard this house for you. I can definitely become an excellent housekeeper."

Hearing his tone, even with a little panic, Sean couldn't help but wonder: "Don't you miss your original world? As far as I know, the distant country is a world full of 'fantasy and magical power'. Isn't living there a wonderful thing?"

Wednesday shook his head, "For those who possess the 'magic power of magic' - of course every second, but for us short goblins it's a completely different story."

Those human adventurers like to practice swords the most. They don’t care what the difference between us and ordinary goblins, and the beasts in the forest like to fill our stomachs.

Magicians will capture short goblins for cruel experiments, and even the elves will drive us around like pests. You must know that even the rats in the forest can tolerate sharp ears.

The life we ​​live is simply indescribable. During the day, we can only hide in the tree hole and hide in the dark, hoping not to be discovered. Even if we are scattered, we will be scared to death. Sometimes we have to fight with badgers, foxes, and cloches to seize ownership of the tree hole.

The only food to eat is acorns, so we usually live in oak holes, but this brings up a safety issue, and it’s easy to find us for those who want to catch or hunt down dwarf goblins…”

Listening to Wednesday's description, Sean couldn't help but feel a little moved. This is a miserable life.

However, it is a miracle that the short goblin is so miserable that he can survive the extinction.

"Why don't you resist?"

A very vivid expression was revealed on Wednesday. The meaning of this expression is quite rich. [How do you ask us to resist? We are so weak and have no choice but to lie down and die equally. Don’t forget that the enemies we face have ‘magical magical power’]

Sean thought to himself, so it seems that he can't send them back in this way. At least he has done so much work for him, so it's too unauthentic to do it like this.

"Okay, then you guys stay. I'll arrange for a friend to take care of you, but you'd better not run around and try to stay in Oak Valley."

The friend Sean mentioned was naturally Ragna. Ragna had even seen the devil and gods. He asked him to look at the short goblin and think that he would not scare him.

On Wednesday, I hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, great master - um, I have another request, I hope you can think about it a little."

"explain."

"If I need to manage other short goblins, maybe the master can give me a certificate as a substitute for your great authority, so that I can justify them to obey orders, and at the same time, I will not forget to remind them who they are loyal to."

‘A alternative to great authority…’

Sean began to ponder after hearing Wednesday's words.

But he thought of what Ragna said yesterday that the collection of the power of faith requires a symbolic object, a crown, a throne, a scepter, and so on.

Sean is planning to try it out, maybe he can start collecting it from these short goblins. After all, short goblins are also smart creatures, and they can more or less contribute some of their faith power, right?

The key is that they are god-like beings to them, and they should be the most suitable solution. Unfortunately, the number is a little smaller. Even if the seven short goblins are all fanatical and pious, they may not contribute much faith.

"No problem, I will give you this certificate, but it may take some time. I have to think carefully about what to use."

When he gave it to him in the evening, Sean designed this "symbol thing" in front of the fireplace.

All religious beliefs have almost similar things. To put it bluntly, they are simplified versions of the statue of god. After all, the faith of believers requires a goal, and God itself is a very abstract thing. The statue of god is too bulky and you can't carry a statue of god with you.

This requires some substitutes like Buddhist beads and crosses, and they can also be used as ornaments.

This is what Sean is planning to design.

His clergy is the sun god, so it is best to have the symbol of the sun, and also add certain characteristics of his own.

This reminded him of the past myths and movie games.

There are not many beliefs about the sun in various myths and legends, Xihe, Apollo, Helios, Ra, Gwyn...

Sean took out the paper and pen, and drew a picture on the paper while assuming the association.

A man raised his hands high, and over his head, a scorching sun was hanging high.

The man's appearance is hidden in the sun, and he can be seen vaguely similar to Sean.

The name of this painting is [Praise the Sun].

Looking at the painting in front of him, Shawn shook his head, no, it's too complicated.

Such patterns are OK as paintings, but if printed on objects, it is difficult to ensure recognition.

He started drawing again, this time it was much simpler. The painting was a circle symbolizing the sun, with patterns symbolizing flames and light around it, and inside the sun was a human face. In order to see, the person was Sean, he also added a flame-shaped scar on his face.

After finishing the drawing, I looked at it and it was still too complicated. There was a human face on the sun, and the style seemed a bit curious.

Most importantly, this kind of painting is easily linked to religious beliefs, and if it is spread in Brighton, it is simply seeking death.

He picked up the brush again, and this time he decided to simplify the painting as much as possible.

The sun is round, golden, and yellow.

There is no need for fire and flames. There should be a human face on it, but it is best not to have any characteristics. At the same time, it should be as simple as possible. He drew two black dots as his eyes, and then drew a curved mouth. After looking at it, he felt it was a bit too smooth, so he added two forks to the corner of his mouth, making the face look like he was smiling.

Hey, why do you look so familiar? It seems like the kind of smiling emoticons that are common on the Internet.

But it's good that the simpler the pattern, the easier it is to conceal it. This pattern is not associated with religious beliefs, and it is just right.

And I can completely spread it as a commodity logo, but I don’t know if I can gain the power of faith in this way?

Maybe you can make a fuss about products and you should sell something that can be associated with the sun, such as stoves, kerosene, oil lamps, etc.

Adding a slogan as a propaganda slogan, such as "Praise the Sun" or "Long Live the Light", etc., its function is similar to Amitabha or Hallelujah.

He wasn't sure if he could gain the power of faith like this, but he had to try it out before he knew it.

The next morning, Sean handed over the symbolic thing he had prepared to Wednesday.

It was a badge transformed from gold coins. A cute smiling face was carved on the round gold coins, which looked very friendly.

"Wednesday, this is my symbol. If you wear it, you will be my believer, my follower, and my relative. You will exercise your power on my behalf, guard this mansion for me, and rule the other dwarf goblins for me, and I will use this thing to authorize you."

Wednesday's face was solemn, with a look of excitement and trembling.
Chapter completed!
