Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
**Wintery Empire Reputation:** 2,085,142+ (When people talk about the King of Winter, they will definitely mention the maid who is inseparable from him. Starting today, a legend about the Goddess of Life will be added to her. People praise the King of Winter’s good fortune while also celebrating the Goddess of Life’s revival.)
**Demi-human Faction Reputation:** 20,697+ (Hey! Do you know that after the first Goddess of Life disappeared, we practically gave up on believing in life? But now, we have witnessed the Goddess of Life herself reviving before our very eyes! In Winter Fort!)
**Other Faction Reputation:** 4.75 million+ (The return of the Goddess of Life has attracted significant attention from many.)
“Master, your gaze is very strange.”
Loli, faintly radiating divine light, extended a small hand and poked Xi Wei’s waist.
At this moment, Xi Wei’s eyes were just like those of someone who had found a great treasure—his breathing was rapid, and his eyes shot out golden light.
“I don’t know if my gaze is strange or not, but I know I’m invincible.”
With Loli’s protective characteristic, he simply couldn’t die! He had been a little apprehensive about Kalun Kaya’s alchemical puppets before. Now, why should he be scared? He could just charge headfirst into battle, as he couldn’t die!
“Master, you can only not die below the Demigod level, so you don’t need to get so excited…”
Seeing Xi Wei so happy, Loli also smiled shyly, her eyes filled with sweetness. She didn’t have many emotional fluctuations about becoming a god; it felt like everything happened naturally. Whatever Xi Wei asked her to do, she would do it, and she somehow ended up like this. Moreover, even though she was now a bona fide goddess, her identity hadn’t changed. She was still Xi Wei’s little maid. The personal little maid came first, the Winter City maid ensemble was second, and the Goddess of Life was third.
“Demigod? There aren’t many Demigods in the main material plane… The clones of the Four Archangels are already top-tier existences… Kalun Kaya’s super alchemical puppet barely counts as one. What else? The King of Andor? The Naga Empress? They’re all trash!”
If it weren’t for maintaining the dignity of the King of Winter, Xi Wei might have really gone to the balcony and laughed heartily at the sun three times.
The news of Loli becoming the Goddess of Life quickly spread throughout the Wintery Empire, even reaching Karari and Medon. With the deliberate efforts of the two proxy kings, the previously turbulent countries quickly stabilized. Some petty individuals who had intended to cause trouble were terrified, and at the same time, the amount of faith power Xi Wei received daily naturally increased.
To celebrate the birth of the Goddess of Life.
The King of Winter announced a day off for all cities in the Wintery Empire, and three days off for the royal city of Winter City. During the holiday period, lords were not allowed to order workers to participate in work. If work was absolutely necessary, they had to be paid double. Later, Xi Wei learned that this holiday actually made the workers in various cities work even harder for a day, all for the sake of double wages, which left him amused.
In addition, a grand banquet was held in Winter Fort, the Succubus Cafe in Most City was half-priced for a limited time, the “Touch My Belly” theater troupe offered free performances for a month, and newspapers were distributed for free for a week. The entire Wintery Empire was filled with joy and celebration.
…
Three days later.
A dilapidated carriage entered the Eagle Territory and arrived at a small town on the border of a territory.
“Your Highness, Princess, we have entered the Eagle Territory. We are expected to arrive at Winter City this afternoon. You can get out to clean yourselves up. I’ll go find rooms for you.”
The middle-aged scout said to those inside the carriage. This was an envoy from the Andor Empire, consisting of only three people. The former scout, Marco, and two imperial princesses, Sina and Winnie. Sina was the elder sister, but she was petite, with a rather cute appearance and a lively personality. She had already squeezed out of the carriage first, curiously looking around. Winnie was the younger sister, standing at 1.7 meters tall, with a voluptuous figure and a graceful physique. However, her expression was a little cold, with a hint of aloofness that kept others at a distance. She followed behind her sister, her eyes red, and her face bore a few black handprints from Sina.
“Is this the Wintery Empire?”
Sina looked at the bustling crowd in the small town, her eyes gradually becoming a little lost. As imperial princesses, they had learned etiquette from a young age and also understood their position very well. To put it nicely, they were the most noble daughters of the empire; to put it bluntly, they were the prettiest gifts in the king’s hands, gifts meant for others. Now, she and her sister Winnie were being bundled up and sent to the King of Winter, their purpose being simply to obtain aid from the Wintery Empire. The air in the small town was fresh, not at all like the expected situation where there was no place to stand, and the ground was covered with human and horse manure. Moreover, the farmers here didn’t look sallow and thin; their eyes were clear and lively, and they always wore warm smiles on their faces.
“Charge—!”
A yelp accompanied by the sound of hooves rolled in. Sina, holding Winnie’s hand, saw a squadron of heavily armored knights emerge from around a corner of the small town. The knight at the forefront held a sheepskin scroll in his arms. The surrounding pedestrians voluntarily made way. Although the road was wide, these knights still voluntarily slowed down, and slowly approached the notice board. At this moment, the town residents nearby, whether they were selling vegetables, gutting fish, hunters carrying bows and arrows, tailors with half-finished clothes, or children playing knight fighting games… they all swarmed to the notice board like sharks smelling blood.
“A decree from Your Majesty Winter!”
The heavily armored knight at the forefront held up the sheepskin scroll and announced loudly: “To celebrate the birth of the Goddess of Life, Your Majesty Winter intends to build a Temple of Life in Winter City. We are now recruiting 20 skilled craftsmen and 1,000 ordinary workers. Those with construction experience are preferred. The requirements are that they must be physically capable, have no criminal record, and be male. Strong women are also acceptable. Wages will be tripled compared to normal construction workers.”
After speaking, the knight affixed the sheepskin scroll to the notice board, then turned and said, “We will stay here for two days. Additionally, mages are also welcome to join the construction team. Compensation will be negotiated and will definitely satisfy you… Oh, right, the registration location is outside the Town Mayor’s Residence. If you have any questions, you can come and ask.” They didn’t hold much hope for mages. Mages were rare creatures in the Wintery Empire, but they still mentioned it, just in case they encountered one. With that, the knight pushed through the stunned crowd, mounted his horse, and left. These heavily armored knights exuded an imposing aura. Many farmers and workers didn’t understand and dared not ask any further questions, nor did they dare to stop them. But it wasn’t a problem. Very soon, someone invited a bard. Reading once cost one copper coin, and explaining it cost five copper coins. The bards here could make a living just by reading these announcements with the crowdfunding from farmers and workers.
