Chapter 1337 Lorraine 25
Louis glanced up unintentionally and saw a deity pouring tea for Tan You. The little guy's mind went blank. It was always believers who devoutly worshipped and revered deities; when had a deity ever offered services to humans on their own initiative?
Eldest sister, you are indeed extraordinary!
Time flies, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner. Of course, there is no such thing as the Spring Festival in this world. Tan You has no intention of promoting the local festival in this Western fantasy world. She simply sent her guards to deliver New Year's gifts to all the races in the territory on this day.
The benefits are very simple, mainly consisting of local specialties that you can freely claim in the future, such as unharvested sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, sorghum, and other crops.
As clan leaders, they naturally received other gifts as well. For example, the undead clan received a handwritten book of necromancy spells by Tan You. She had once been a necromancer herself, and although her spells were different from those here, they could still serve as a reference, right?
The Dark Elf race received a sapling of a mutated fruit tree.
The dwarfs received a scroll of alchemy notes from a Western fantasy world.
The fairy clan's New Year's gift consists of seeds of several different varieties of flowers.
The orc race, on the other hand, provided diagrams for making handicrafts from wool and cotton.
……
The Dragon Clan... Tan You from the Dragon Clan sent over ginger candy, carefully prepared by the cook.
After exchanging New Year's gifts, Tan You's lord's manor also received corresponding return gifts. However, the free territory was barren, and everyone's return gifts were all small items. Tan You did not feel neglected because of this, but instead had everyone register and put them into the storeroom.
The new year has passed, and spring is fast approaching. After the snow melts, the weather warms up. Freedom Lane seems to have come alive completely; the grass has sprouted, and there are even some common wild vegetables among them.
Correspondingly, the content in the air has also changed, this time to the types of wild vegetables and 108 ways to eat them.
The beauty system found its value here, diligently acting as a projectionist every day. Watching its people learn new knowledge through the screen and apply it in practice, the beauty system felt it could do this job for a lifetime.
By the end of April, the crops in the territory had ripened one after another, with sweet potatoes being the first to be harvested.
Tan You stood atop the high building, her spiritual energy spreading out, watching her people in her territory rejoice and see them harvest their grain. Seeing their surplus provisions, a slight smile crept onto Tan You's lips.
Tartarus whispered, "My decay has stopped."
Tan You: "This proves that what we did was right."
Tartarus looked at the busy races within his territory and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, what we're doing is the right thing. So this is what building a civilization is all about; before, it could only be called plunder."
Tan You smiled but remained silent. Of course, the civilization of one's own country is to build a new civilization, and this will never change no matter where one goes.
As the sweet potatoes were harvested, the crops in the territory ripened one after another. While everyone celebrated the successful harvest, the beauty system began to teach everyone about meticulous farming techniques, including rice seedling cultivation and transplanting.
At the same time, there were also improvements to various agricultural tools.
This time, Tan You no longer needed to intervene in the entire Freedom Territory. Everyone saw the benefits and began to improve their lives on their own.
Tan You secretly felt that now that things had come to this point, it was time for her to retire gracefully.
Tartarus refused to let him go: "You can't just abandon me like this. I'll set up a teleportation array for you so you can travel freely between Silent Hill and Freedom."
"Go check out Silent Hill when you have time, but focus on Freedom Territory first."
Tan You thought about it and didn't refuse: "Okay, now that the rice has been transplanted, shall we go to Silent Hill to explore? I wonder how the captain of the guard is doing with the construction of Silent Hill."
The former Dubot family's chief guard, Gade, took ten million gold coins from Tan You. Half a year has passed, and who knows what he's been up to in Silent Hill. Tan You is truly looking forward to it.
silent Hill.
A vortex suddenly appeared, growing larger and larger until it was as tall as a person. At the same time, the vortex's rotation gradually slowed down. Finally, it came to a complete stop, transforming into the shape of an archway.
Suddenly, two figures emerged side by side from within the archway: one tall and muscular, the other slender and graceful. Following them out of the vortex, a flying object the size of a sparrow flew out from another archway.
Then there was a small child, with a long, thin black snake wrapped around his neck.
The newcomers were Tan You, Tartarus, Chris, Louis, and Jormungandr.
Looking around Silent Hill, Tan You remarked, "The ecology of Silent Hill is better than that of Freedom, and the air is much fresher. In Freedom, you can still smell the scent of death in the air these days."
Tartarus replied irritably, "Of course. My abyss is a place where all the filth in the world is gathered. It will take a long time to completely cleanse it."
Tan You thought about the time she had spent in the previous world and offered Tartarus a perfunctory consolation: "It was only a short twenty or thirty years. In the long life of a god, it was nothing more than a fleeting moment."
Tartarus was indeed in no hurry; as Tan You said, it was simply a matter of taking it slow and steady.
The commotion in the valley quickly alerted the people who were working, and Gade, the current head of the Houston family's guards, rushed over upon hearing the news. Upon seeing Tan You and Tartarus, he immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Deity; Greetings, Your Lordship."
"Greetings, Lord Chris; greetings, Head of the Family."
Yes, some people may only be 7 years old at the New Year, but they are already the heads of a family. I'm talking about Louis. Although this head of the family currently only has one captain of the guard.
This head guard was poached from another family.
But so what?
Louis smiled warmly, "No need for formalities. Your elder sister and the deity have come to inspect Silent Hill. Please report to your elder sister on the family's situation during this time."
Tan You raised her hand slightly: "Have him report to you. You are the head of the Houston family."
Tan You's goal was to cultivate Louis's authority over the Houston family from this moment on, thus giving Louis deeper control over the family. As for herself, she genuinely didn't have that much of a desire for power.
Seeing Louis and Tan You's identical smiles, Tartarus chuckled softly, "This kid has already captured three-tenths of your essence."
"He looks like a smiling tiger."
Tan You was displeased: "Am I a smiling tiger? I'm very easygoing, don't ruin my reputation."
Tartarus chuckled: "You just arrived in the Free Territory and you've already taken care of Phoenix and Theodore with a smile."
"I've never seen you angry; you're always smiling."
Tan You: "Isn't it good to make money through harmony? The more capable you are, the better you can control your temper."
“For example, you have always been very peaceful since I met you.”
