I can’t accept more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should keep it for yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that I don’t want to use it, but that I can’t,” Gaven replied, summoning his combat armor and holding the Golden Mask up to his face, “What do you think, is there still room for it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I have a piece of equipment similar in function to this one, one that is compatible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the strength of his combat armor, Gaven now had to consider compatibility when searching for new equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you can’t use it, you can give it to others in your realm,” Zalanda said, still reluctant to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she felt she already owed Gaven too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among them, no one can really bring out the true power of this mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s most useful to you, big sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think of it as a loan from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you don’t need it anymore, or if I do, I’ll come to you for it,” Gaven said, insisting on putting it in Zalanda’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Zalanda still wanted to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven was already by her side, whispering in a voice only she could hear, “Do you really want me to publicly declare that I’m sure I fell for big sister the moment I saw her charge into battle after taking off her mask?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the attributes, this mask belongs to no one but you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zalanda had always had a special fondness for masks since her youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew that helmets offered far greater protection than masks, she never managed to change this bad habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there’s no denying the inspiring sight of her in a mask, with blue ribbons tied into a bow atop her flaming red hair, leading the charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dreams of midnight, this image had motivated Gaven countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so much said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zalanda were to refuse again, Gaven might pull another stunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blushing, she said, “Then I’ll use it for now, and give it back to you when you need it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you waiting for?” Gaven said impatiently, “Put it on and let us see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Zalanda gave Gaven a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a mask, a perfectly normal piece of equipment, but after what Gaven had just suggested, it seemed to have taken on a different nature, almost like an item of intimate apparel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven made a face and mimed with his mouth, the threat clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zalanda glared at him again but ultimately decided to yield, moving to place the Golden Mask against her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it touched her skin, the Golden Mask began to wriggle and change, quickly adjusting itself to fit Zalanda perfectly, clinging firmly to her face even without any straps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a feature common to most magic items; they could adjust to their users to enhance compatibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stunning beauty of Zalanda’s face, when half-concealed by the Golden Mask, not only didn’t diminish her beauty but added a sense of allure as if only partially revealing a musical instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze would inevitably fall upon her beautifully curved, full lips, coupled with her straight nose, inciting curiosity about her unveiled beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was generally robust, but her eyebrows and eyes were very feminine, especially her eyebrows, which with a subtle movement and the fluid look in her eyes, could give one the impression of conveying emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a female leader, this appearance certainly made her approachable, yet it also lacked a certain dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Golden Mask, this deficiency was completely compensated for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beauty was now commingled with authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two traits that didn’t seem to match were merged seamlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer to her, the more pronounced this feeling became, and not just because of her aura; the effect of the magic intimidation aura played a part as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Gaven looked, the more he liked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suited the mask much better than he ever could, and he even felt an itch to spar with her up close and personal if the setting were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zalanda seemed to catch what Gaven was thinking, her eyes growing soft and watery, adding a hint of springtime to her authority, emanating charm and full of queenly grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne, observant as a fox, shifted her gaze back and forth between Gaven and Zalanda several times, understanding everything in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had felt earlier that there was something special between Lord Gaven and this woman, and now it seemed she was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Gaven was no ordinary man; in just a few days, he had managed to bring back a quasi-legendary capable of casting ninth-level spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if Lady Virginia is aware of this matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne’s mind raced, but her expression remained unchanged as she asked, “Lord, what are your plans for those mercenaries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After confiscating all their weapons and equipment, I’ll disperse them and put them to work at the construction sites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they don’t try to disrupt order or escape, they will enjoy the same treatment as the Tesser immigrants,” Gaven didn’t harbor much prejudice against these mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just a group of fence-sitters who worked for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Gaven turned to the Dog Demon and said, “Expand the ranks of the wild wolves, place a pack around the construction sites, and execute any escapees on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given free rein, the Dog Demon could recruit thousands of wild wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But considering they were wild animals with a lack of organizational discipline, having too many could cause significant damage to the local ecological balance, and collective maintenance would consume too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Gaven typically maintained a team of around three hundred wild wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were led by Zuo Langs with a certain level of intelligence and roamed freely around the Yewen Channel and the new villages, serving as mobile sentries and a first line of expendable defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using them to supervise the mercenary captives couldn’t be more suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with such a large number and them being on the construction sites, even with strict supervision, there were bound to be loopholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine their horror when they realize, upon fleeing into the wilderness, that hundreds of wild wolves are awaiting them there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few chickens are killed, the remaining monkeys will behave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you command.” Whether it was Daphne or the Dog Demon, they immediately understood Gaven’s intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And implementing it did not pose any psychological barriers; that was the advantage of being from an evil alignment—they only cared about practicality, as for whether or not their conscience would pain them, could that even be eaten?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, not only those from evil alignments but even those from good alignments rarely raised objections, as this was the most suitable course of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of mercenary captives was too great, and even when counting the demi-humans, Gaven’s population was merely on par with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor could he simply let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kill them would be to easily earn a bad reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to use them as strong labor forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zalanda added from the side, “Merely using force may not be enough to motivate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they are mercenaries, loyalty is undoubtedly scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We might as well hire them with money and make them work for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not short on funds right now, and a combined approach should yield better results.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “That makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I oversimplified the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could potentially be future lieges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we could find a way to keep them, it wouldn’t just be a matter of thousands of lieges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be thousands of families, and that requires meticulous planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s cool them off for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make a trip down there myself tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Gaven thought of several ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t just any immigrants, and the strategies for dealing with them had to be differentiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary immigrants received both kindness and severity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, severity needed to outweigh kindness, at least initially, followed by subtly changing their mindset later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they see a future full of unlimited possibilities here, they will unhesitatingly join the pursuit of a better life—this is the core principle for all mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they establish their homes here, with something to guard, they are no longer mercenaries, but warriors defending their homelands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many new settlements in the wilderness were established by mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven turned to Daphne and continued, “Is there a way to extract some of the memories I need from the Red Dragon corpse, to create something like a Memory Crystal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is, but it requires a clear focus because a person’s memory is vast, especially that of a Giant Dragon,” Daphne replied, “also, the necessary casting materials will need to be prepared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ones who attacked the East Road Caravan and everything related to this, I’m interested in all of their memories, the more extracted the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>List the casting materials for me, and I’ll prepare them,” Gaven’s expression revealed his uncontrollable delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there was a way, that was all he feared—having no solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne nodded and said, “Besides that, I’ll need the power of Ms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Estelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m not mistaken, the Red Dragon Wraith she previously controlled with music wasn’t just a mere manor power; if we have a Dragon Soul to assist, the effect will be much better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Gaven nodded in agreement, “make a list of the tools needed for dealing with the Red Dragon corpse and give it to me as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you command.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weizemay Manor was destined to have a sleepless night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they didn’t need to personally count the Gold Coins and equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magic Equipment obtained just now were only of some unique abilities within the Dragon’s Nest, not all there was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were at least a dozen or more Magic Weapons of the likes of +1, +2, and +3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same number of Magic Armors up to +3 were also present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these Magic Equipments, originating from the guards of the East Road Caravans, weren’t of the highest quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if used by the manor’s guards, they were extremely practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The equipment stripped from the mercenaries consisted mostly of ordinary gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrays of Magic Equipment, though not as numerous as those in the Dragon’s Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they all had worn Magic Equipment, they wouldn’t have ended up as mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Gaven had the gear but lacked the population, so he refrained from using them for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>",2109,"2026-06-06T12:33:11.059Z",1,"novelbin.me","b86eb5b9c5e9996b55dc4af3d7f8d4dd20d3fbd72ed07048fb5a02ce3474cf39","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-427","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-425",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
