Chapter 1022, Human Leader
Chapter 1022, Human Leader
Wu Heng had never heard of the Week of Courage, but he understood what it meant.
Some customs of the Yeke Kingdom are named after something or other.
It's like a festival in the modern world.
After a quick thought, I decided that appearing at such an important occasion, coupled with some publicity, would be of some help in the collection of faith.
At the same time, the participation of a leader of an association in such an official event also deepened the relationship between Wu Heng and the Kingdom of Yeko, while consolidating Brittany's position.
It's a harmless thing.
"Will it last a week?"
Brittany smiled and said, "It won't take that long. You can just show up at the opening and we'll take care of the rest."
Wu Heng nodded, "Okay, I'll be there when the time comes."
"Really? That's great!" Brittany said in surprise, then she sat up again, holding her belly, and continued, "Then take Sister Shannella with you. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her."
"I'll ask Shannara's opinion later. She's an elder and we wouldn't dare to agree on her behalf." Wu Heng said jokingly.
"You are such a joke, sir."
Wu Heng also smiled and instructed: "You guys should arrange the Week of Courage as normal. Don't tell anyone about what I'm going to do, to avoid any problems."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone and will wait for you to come over." Brittany agreed immediately.
The main topic was over, and the two continued to talk about recent events in the kingdom and some of the difficulties they faced after becoming queen.
After chatting for a while and finding nothing new to talk about, I hung up the phone.
……
After ending the call.
Wu Heng was still sitting in the chair, thinking about things.
According to the reports from Wenmansha and Brittany, the construction of churches in various places is going smoothly.
Development is indeed going well, especially the Kingdom of Yeko, which has begun to expand into secondary towns.
But the problems that followed were also obvious: the number of priests could no longer keep up with the speed of expansion.
It is impossible to have only one priest in a church. The main churches need at least three to five priests, and some nuns as well.
"It looks like we need to recruit another group of wood elves and sky foxes to join us."
As for the 'Week of Courage' mentioned by Brittany, he was very interested.
In this world without a modern education system, each country has its own unique way of selecting talent.
It just so happened that the association had added a new 'Membership Code' to restrict Treasure Island.
You can also train high-level professionals for Treasure Island through the Week of Courage.
Of course, this matter still needs to be kept confidential.
To avoid any problems.
As he pondered in his mind, he thought of Slater, the deacon of Blackrock Town.
I picked up my phone and dialed the other person's number, chatting to keep in touch.
Compared to the Kingdom of Yeko and the City of Rentam, Black Stone Town is just a town-level city, which is more peaceful and safe.
The big events that happened in the city were always the arrival of one or two wanted criminals of around level 10, so she left her with a level 18 skeleton servant.
In the past, wanted criminals were no different from being sent to die.
After chatting with Slater, I chatted with Yuri for a while.
He promised her that once Treasure Island was safe, he would transfer her to the association on Treasure Island.
After finishing the conversation, he hung up the phone.
Opened the door and walked out.
……
At dusk, everyone went to the restaurant.
The centerpiece of the dining table was replaced with a gorgeous vase containing a few bluebells.
The vase should be a gift from the Chamber of Commerce representatives this morning.
Every time someone comes to give a gift, the decorations in the house are changed.
Several people sat down at the dining table.
Wu Heng picked up a piece of fried cod and said softly, "We also need to increase the number of priests and nuns."
Shannella looked up and asked, "How many more people are needed?"
The church added staff, and since wood elves were used in the beginning, Shannara has been in charge all along.
"We should recruit more this time, as the cathedral has just been built." Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's prepare for about 100 people."
"Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow." Shannara agreed.
Then, Wu Heng continued, "Brittany called and wanted us to attend the Week of Courage next month."
Shannella had obviously heard of the Week of Courage and said, "If the Council of Elders releases the results ahead of time, I can go and take a look."
Wu Heng nodded.
Philippa put down her glass and said, "Brittany didn't invite me? I was the one who protected her in Netalai!"
While Brittany governed Nettale, Shannella and Philippa stayed there to accompany her.
Shannella was responsible for assisting her in management, while Philippa was responsible for the security of the city and the mobilization of naval troops.
Moreover, Philippa's personality makes her get along well with everyone and she has good relationships with everyone.
"I mentioned you and also asked how you've been doing lately?" Wu Heng said with a smile.
"That's what I said!" Philippa said, crossing her legs. "Then take me to see it. I haven't even heard of the Week of Courage!"
"You are the commander of the navy now. Who will command the fleet when you leave?" Wu Heng looked at her.
"There's not even a pirate in the Emerald Sea right now. I'm so bored." Philippa walked out of her seat, hugged his head and acted like a spoiled child. "Take me with you, please..."
The rest of the people at the table looked over here with a smile.
"You still have oil on your lips." Wu Heng pushed her head which was leaning towards him, "We'll see when the time comes. If there's nothing wrong, I'll take you there."
"Yeah!" Philippa clenched her fist and kissed him on the face.
Wu Heng wiped the oil off his face and said, "Before you leave, don't tell anyone about this, including Millicent. Talk to her before you leave."
"I'm the most tight-lipped person, don't worry." Philippa said seriously.
After that, everyone ate their meal in peace.
After dinner, we went to the training room for training together.
As it gets dark, I go back to my room to rest.
……
The next day, zombie world.
Outside the window, the sky was gray and a little gloomy.
Wu Heng sat in front of the surveillance camera with his mobile phone on the stand in front of him, and was having a video call with Li Yahong.
"The matter of the Chosen One has been approved by the Dawn Alliance." Li Yahong said calmly. The sound of the printer printing paper could still be heard on the phone. "From today on, each base will publicize this matter in the capacity of the Chosen One and the global leader of mankind. The Dawn Alliance will broadcast it in a loop on the public frequency band."
Wu Heng's eyebrows twitched slightly.
This matter has been going on for more than half a month, and it was finally implemented today.
According to his calculations about the alliance meeting, it would actually take longer, but the facts were obviously faster than he thought.
"How was the negotiation done? Are other bases willing to accept this?" Wu Heng was still a little curious about how Qi Hancai had negotiated this.
Li Yahong smiled with some pride, "You underestimate your own prestige. The global base was able to quickly get out of the predicament. The contribution of Yama Palace was witnessed by everyone. Food, medicine, daily necessities, and later serum, no one else is qualified to be the leader of mankind."
Forehead…….
Having said that, I can guess what Qi Hancai said during the negotiation.
From the perspective of the entire situation, without Yama Palace opening its market to the world to meet the exchange of food and daily necessities, it will take at least 5 to 10 years for the various bases to return to their current situation.
Not to mention establishing the Dawn Alliance, it is even a question whether we can see the dawn.
Moreover, even if the Dawn Alliance does not recognize this contribution, the survivors from all over the world are witnesses.
"How many people are left in the world now?" Wu Heng continued to ask.
Li Yahong looked through the data and said, "The 20 million people counted are the number of bases that can be contacted. If we include some isolated bases that cannot contact the outside world, the number should be more than 50 million."
When Wu Heng heard this number, his eyes narrowed.
The vaguely recorded population before the apocalypse was over 80 billion. Now it has dropped to such a drastic level, which really fits the term apocalypse.
Wu Heng did not answer immediately. The empress floated aside and said, "If you can transform it into faith, it will be enough for you to break through the heroic stage."
In another world, a town-level city has a population of several thousand, so 20 million is an extremely exaggerated number.
Glinda floated on the other side, "The identity of a human leader is more like that of a king, which only makes people feel awe. The faith you need now is not enough for just being a leader. You still need to preach in the form of a church."
After a brief pause, he continued, "Train a group of priests at the base and have them provide some relief to the other bases while passing on the teachings."
Unlike the Empress, Glenda is already very familiar with the lifestyle of the people here.
Moreover, after reading many books here, I also know the difference between this world and the other world.
"It would be great if our priest could also use the Holy Word. It would be quite intimidating." Xiaoxiao also added.
After listening to the opinions of several ghosts, Wu Heng looked back at his phone and said, "Human leader, what is your propaganda method?"
Li Yahong pointed her mobile phone at the computer screen, which displayed the promotional plan: the forum had a column titled "The Chosen One Who Saves the World" at the top, and the radio program had a column called "Voice of the Leader".
"At present, there are only these two methods. If necessary, we can add more forum topics and radio programs." Li Yahong said, putting the phone back.
When the ghost does not possess the doll, the collector cannot capture any sound.
Therefore, Li Yahong could not hear what the ghost beside her just said.
Wu Heng continued, "Human leaders are one aspect, and I plan to promote it in the form of a church."
Li Yahong frowned, "Ah? The Sun Cult?"
When I mention the church, I subconsciously think of the Sun Cult that was destroyed two days ago.
"I named our formal church Lingqi Church. It is a church that can bring enlightenment to people and lead them out of difficulties." Wu Heng said softly.
"What do you want to do?" Li Yahong asked directly.
Li Yahong never understood Wu Heng's arrangement, but I supported it.
Just like when I was still in Xiaodong Repair Shop, I didn’t understand his strange arrangements, but every outrageous decision had a very good ending after being implemented.
It has come to this point step by step, and Yama Palace has become the world's largest base.
The host of the Dawn Alliance.
I don’t know how many survivors envied the life in Yama Palace, and those people who followed me at the beginning also started a normal life, got married and had children, and their lives were not much different from before.
"I plan to select a group of suitable candidates in the base to serve as priests of the Lingqi Church, who will be responsible for going to various bases to spread the doctrine." Wu Heng said directly.
Li Yahong nodded, "Are there any requirements for the candidates?"
"Younger, better at expressing himself, and he won't betray our base." Wu Heng thought as he stated his request.
"I'll go select people later. How many people do you need?" Li Yahong continued to ask.
Wu Heng said to the phone, "Let's recruit fifty people first! Once these people are familiar with the doctrine, they can continue to teach new priests."
"Okay!" Li Yahong agreed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then do we still need to keep the pinned title in the forum and the Leader's Voice program on the radio station?"
"Keep it for now." Wu Heng said.
Li Yahong nodded again, "Then I'll go select someone first. You'd better talk to Qi Hancai to see if there are any problems with her."
"Row!"
The two hung up the phone.
The room fell silent again.
The queen said softly, "Why don't you take down those bases? There aren't even any professionals in this world, so we won't have to go through so much trouble then."
Xiao Xiao flew over and said as if explaining science: "Aunt, there are many powerful weapons in this world. If missiles fly around, the remaining population will be wiped out."
"You are exaggerating," said the queen.
Granda said seriously, "There are indeed such weapons. In fact, if Wu Heng wants to do this, it will not be a problem to kill the leaders of these large bases. We can help him do it, but it should not be necessary. At least at the moment, the various bases are still willing to cooperate with the Yama Palace."
Wu Heng also nodded, "If there is a base that prevents the transmission of the doctrine, we will consider taking over their base."
The queen just felt that no one was on her side, so she simply nodded and said, "Just think about it. I'm just giving you a suggestion."
……
Wu Heng continued to dial Qi Hancai's number. After two rings, the call was connected, and Qi Hancai's smiling voice came from the other end, "Lord Chosen One.
"Doesn't this name sound better than the original King Yama?" Wu Heng also joked.
Qi Hancai said: "Why do I feel that King Yama is more powerful? If anyone disobeys, he will cross his name out of the Book of Life and Death."
Xiao Xiao, who was explaining to the Empress what a missile was, quickly flew over and corrected her, saying, "It's crossed out. It means infinite lifespan. You said it wrong."
Wu Heng corrected, "We said in our little story that crossing out a name means infinite lifespan. You are wrong."
"Really? Then maybe I remembered it wrong." Qi Hancai said.
"I have something serious to tell you about the promotion of human leaders in various bases." Wu Heng got to the point.
Qi Hancai also became serious, "You say!"
Then, Wu Heng repeated in detail what he had discussed with Li Yahong.
Qi Hancai listened carefully and frowned, "You mean, while promoting human leaders, we should also arrange for priests to promote church doctrines?"
"Yes, that's basically what I mean." Wu Heng nodded.
Qi Hancai was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you think it would be easier for the representatives of the various bases to accept you if you come over and attend the Dawn Conference?"
