"New policies? You're asking me if I support them or not? Of course, I support it. Let me tell you clearly, you media shouldn't always try to create big news, especially when it comes to someone like me who has been through hundreds of battles. These tricks are useless. Do you know Wendill Gero from the Eagle Crown? I was chatting with him two days ago … "
[Brother, you can't say anymore. If you do, you'll be attacked from another dimension!]
Even without his younger sister's warning, Rorschach still felt an inexplicable sense of danger and chose to shut up.
Rorschach finally managed to get rid of the reporters from the other teaching journals. He buried his head in the side door of the Adventurer's Association.
Although he was a member of the 20-member board of directors, he was almost surrounded by his peers who were looking for news just by showing his face.
Now that the Eagle Crown and the Radiance Scroll had gone overboard, the all-pervasive media loved this kind of big scene.
Although they were obviously sly and cunning, Rorschach's ability to keep his words to himself was well-known far and wide. The moment he appeared, he became the main target of the media.
These unscrupulous media were all hoping that Rorschach would reveal some juicy news. It would be best if he revealed some complaints and dissatisfaction as ammunition for tomorrow's headlines. They didn't expect Rorschach to say such things.
"Support? Are you telling the truth? Right now, more than 90% of the adventurers and more than 40% of the citizens are complaining. You still support them? Are you joking? "
At that time, Rorschach shrugged and didn't say anything else … If he did, he might really say something that he shouldn't have.
"I really support them. They'll reach this stage sooner or later anyway. It's better to get the pain over with."
He really couldn't say anything else. The interview had to end here.
Rorschach didn't lie in his words. He really did support the implementation of these integration plans. That was because this was the only way to integrate Vila Nova Dônia and unite all the churches into a single divine system.
There was a famous joke in Vila Nova Dônia about the mayor of the mascot city who was always killed.
This might be an interesting conversation between the people before and after a meal, but if it was used in the political power of a region or city, it would be a disaster.
Vila Nova Dônia had no administrative structure. To put it bluntly, there was no government.
Perhaps this sounded like a joke, but it was the reality in front of the citizens. The city was built by the churches together, and they were the true owners of the city. Due to the fact that the ownership of the city was too scattered, they could only form a collective body like a board of directors or parliament.
As for the House of Representatives and the board of directors, it would be fine if you wanted them to come up with some bills or drafts, criticize certain things, or even impeach certain individuals. However, if you wanted them to carry out their daily administrative duties while doing local infrastructure projects to serve the citizens … well, let the nobles off the hook. They were far more eloquent than the nobles.
There was a city lord's castle, but it was nothing more than a decoration. Any city lord who really wanted to establish a government would become a former city lord … Yep, one could add "former city lord who wanted to take power" to the front. Most people could even add a black frame to their pictures.
However, even in the city-states where merchants were self-governing, there were merchant guilds that kept their word. A snake couldn't move without a leader. If a city didn't even have an administrative structure, it would be like a person without a brain. Their limbs would be completely free, and they would do whatever they wanted. It would be fine for them to instinctively twitch a few times, but if they wanted to learn, exercise, and so on, they would have to act like walking corpses.
That was then, and this was now. Back then, nobody wanted someone to step up and become the leader. But now, due to the pressure from the outside world (the Child of Nature, Griffin, and the griffins), an administrative structure had to be established.
Even though Rorschach didn't see the deeper parts of the plan, he could guess that the next step would be for the current city lord to step up and establish a temporary government structure. At the same time, they would also prepare mercenary groups, allied armies, and so on.
Of course, there would also be a tax department and a public security department. Finance, administration, public security, and the military were all pillars of a political power.
Perhaps due to the special structure of the city, these departments, organizations, and mercenary groups were naturally disabled and would be subject to various restrictions and restrictions in various aspects. But at the very least, they had to exist in order for many things to be carried out.
For example, the reality was that the citizens currently didn't have medical insurance, social security, or injury insurance. Perhaps the local citizens didn't even have the concept of these, but that didn't mean that they could always fool around like this. Mercenary groups and church personnel had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in this regard.
For example, the current diplomatic relations with Cape Town were formed by a few large churches temporarily sending people over and then bringing back the signed diplomatic agreements. Those who went last time might not be able to go next time. Every exchange was like a riddle, and whether or not the previous agreements were recognized was really a problem.
For example … there were too many things. A city (or a faction) didn't have a government. Many things that seemed natural and natural couldn't be carried out at all.
Previously, when the faction was newly established, the situation wasn't complicated. The "baby" instinctively crying and complaining of hunger was enough. Now, with a population of a million people, and the hostile and neutral factions outside, and the possibility of organizing expeditions to no man's land in the future, it was really a bit difficult to carry out a mega baby state.
At this stage, it was absolutely necessary for public authority to exist.
Originally, this should have been a gradual process. But now, in order to seize the initiative, several churches hurriedly sped up the process. Naturally, many problems were exposed.
Rorschach truly hadn't lied about the current situation. Not only did he support the current situation, he supported it even more than the current situation of stable development.
"Ha, there's going to be something fun to watch next spring."
Griffin, the griffin, and the Son of Nature had spent a large amount of money to buy the right to enter the Holy Land. They weren't just shareholders waiting for their dividends.
When they arrived next spring, they would see that the believers had already been split up, the new government was already in operation, the various department heads had already been confirmed, and even the free adventurers were under the control of the Holy Land Association … Did they really think that the level 7 churches were easy to bully?
Conflicts stemmed from conflicts of interest. Even if there weren't any conflicts, Rorschach could help create some. Wasn't it a necessary skill for a professional media outlet to fan the flames?
In the overall situation, unification was a great thing. It was a path that had to be taken. But if the large churches finished their negotiations with peace, would there still be room for the small and medium churches to survive? At that time, they would all become vassals.
"Go ahead and cause trouble. The more trouble you cause, the better our harvest next year will be."
Rorschach was smiling as he stood in the main hall of the Holy Land Association. His mind was filled with unspeakable evil intentions.
Since he was so busy with work, he naturally hadn't "entered" the Holy Land Association through the "back door" just to stare blankly into space.
On the side of the main hall, there was a long line of people waiting outside the main hall. That was the line for the adventurers' qualifications.
A few days ago, a new law had been introduced. Now, all adventurers in Vila Nova Dônia were required to register. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to receive any missions. This meant that they wouldn't be able to be hired by any organization. They would only be able to work for free.
This seemingly "bored" law was actually the foundational reason for the establishment of the Holy Land Association.
Every warrior would have to register here. Their basic combat strength, job class, special traits, specialties, and past experiences would all be recorded. In that case, they would also become potential combat strength in Vila Nova Dônia's database.
Rorschach had come here for two things. The first was to complete the registration of his church's members. This had just been completed. As one of the top ten members of the twenty-person board of directors, the Holy Land Association would definitely give him some face.
There was no need to line up. Not all of his subordinates were present. Including the new Ariel, all the descenders had already completed their registration. And, the registration information was quite ridiculous. For example, the information stated that Isabella was a Blood Tribe warrior, Rorschach was a Ranger Lord, and Archmage was a Warrior Monk … That didn't seem right, but since Archmage Rorschach repeatedly said that "this information is fake," then it really was written that way.
The skills and abilities listed in the information were also all sorts of nonsense. Things like "Expert Shave Your Head" and "Expert Who Eats Grapes But Doesn't Spit Out Grape Skin" were all over the place. Apart from the power levels, the information on the surface was completely meaningless to the church's experts. After all, they already had employers, so there was no need for them to accept missions outside. Only by revealing less personal information would they be able to live longer.
The second thing was to check the registered information and see if there were any idle experts who could be hired.
Since the Holy Land Association had already established a talent database, they naturally had to use it as soon as possible. What would happen if they were hired by others?
Rorschach's thinking was very realistic. While the large churches were still in a terrible state of affairs, and the small churches were anxiously trying their best to recruit believers, the Game Church, who was one step ahead, was currently rolling a snowball bigger and bigger.
"Let's look at the information on those who are rank 4 and above. I also want those who are rank 3 and below 25 years old. Forget about those who belong to churches … No, if there are churches, then let me know. Maybe they're unhappy and are preparing to transfer."
