Hops successfully became a student in the mineral processing major of New Oriental Technical School. In the next few years, he will learn a lot, learn about various minerals, learn various means to distinguish the quality of minerals, and eventually become an expert who can select high-quality products from a pile of ores.

There were more than a dozen people who entered this profession like him, most of whom were dwarves, a few were humans, and a few orcs, but there were only one orcs like him who came from outside the Republic.

Those orcs were very young, a generation born and raised in the Republic. They were very curious about the scenery outside the Republic, and were full of yearning for the orcs' hometown and the vast prairie. When talking to Hops, they expressed more than once that they had the opportunity to go to the prairie to search for the ancient times, find the footprints of their ancestors, and see how their ancestors lived.

Hops seriously advised them to give up this idea. Not to mention anything else, just being half-orcs but not believing in orcs and gods is a serious crime on the prairie. When encountering a more extreme tribe, they may be killed directly as a sacrifice to the gods.

"Ah? Killing as a sacrifice? Orcs and gods are so cruel? Oh my god! Then I'd better not go!" The half-orc Sri from the Republic was surprised. This mixed-race man with half-leopard blood was a cooking enthusiast, especially good at cooking balls, steamed buns, etc., but he didn't want to really become a chef, but he yearned for walking around the world and seeing various scenery.

The reason why he chose to learn ore dressing technology was to be an explorer in the future and search for mineral deposits everywhere.

Most of the orcs in the Republic are like him, with simple ideas and easy life. They are not really stupid, they just live in a friendly environment and have grown up with the kindness of their family and neighbors since childhood, so they really cannot imagine that there will be places in the world where they will become sinners and may even die just because they do not believe in a certain god.

Hops is really envious of their innocence and simplicity. Although he is not old, he is definitely not an ignorant rookie. In what kind of environment should he grow up to have such a personality and way of thinking? He will be useless after thinking for a moment.

On the prairie, even those pure-blooded nobles from powerful tribes are usually full of calculating and disputes. Many people are full of vicious or cunning thoughts at a young age, and their hands are covered with blood.

As for those ordinary civilians, they are even more difficult and difficult, and they have to work hard to train themselves, just to make a name for themselves in the common wars that Sikong is common, or at least to survive.

All countries often envy orcs who are soldiers of almost all the people, but how many people can truly understand the bitterness behind "all the people are soldiers"?

In contrast, the Northwest Republic is like the legendary kingdom of gods, full of peace and joy.

Although I haven't lived here for a long time, Hops feels that he has fallen in love with this place. Even if he can't become an excellent miner in the future, even if he lives on odd jobs, he will live here for a long time.

Maybe... it's good to live here for a lifetime.

Just as Hops was living a dull student life with peace of mind, some orc refugees from the Orc Empire caused quite a few ripples in the Northwest Republic.

They believed that they were believers of the orc gods and should worship the gods no matter where they were, so they asked to build altars for the orc gods in several settlements.

To be honest, this matter was not big, but when Mrs. Teague brought it up at the high-level meeting, Sui Xiong, who had always been gentle, was furious.

"The altar is to be built today, and the temple is tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is required to establish a dietary supply system that meets their habits. In the future, it is to exclude other people's dietary habits, and then exclude other people's culture and traditions..." His face was cold, and his body showed a murderous intent, "In the end, it was probably either to believe in orcs and gods like them, or they were killed, right?"

"I tell you, I will never allow this situation!"

The top leaders of the Republic did not expect that he would object so fiercely, and could not help but look at each other.

"Your Majesty... are you taking the problem too seriously?" Mrs. Tiger was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"Serious?" Sui Xiong sneered, "Has anyone ever lived in the Orc Empire?"

"I have lived there for a while," said Leon. "You know, Xihuang. The situation there is generally OK... Although the power of the orcs is indeed very large, excluding other temples to the edge of society, no matter what, other temples are still there."

"That's because adventurers from all races gathered. They are rough and fierce. They can draw their swords to cut off the whole family if they disagree. You are not the case back then! No matter how fierce the orcs are, they can't be cruel to them." Sui Xiong sighed, "But our Republic is different. We are all good people who abide by the law. Many people have never had any blood in their hands since they were young and have never even taken a knife. They look at people and things, and most of them like to look at them from a good perspective... But those orcs are not like this! If they are tormenting here, the situation will be really bad!"

Leon nodded slightly and understood Sui Xiong's meaning.

In the Northwest Republic, the people are not weak. As descendants of pioneers, they are very brave and strong. However, they are generally full of kindness to others. If this kindness is used, it will easily lead those malicious forces to grow and become a cancer for the country and society.

"So, your majesty, what do you think should be done?" he asked. "Reject their request or force conversion?"

Sui Xiong was silent for a while and sighed.

"I haven't figured it out yet... do you have any good ideas?"

"I don't think you should come forward, your Majesty, just let us come forward," said Gerald. "You have a high status. If you come forward, this matter will become a big deal."

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment. When he heard this report, he immediately subconsciously thought of some things before the time travel, and naturally took the problem seriously.

But... Imagine carefully, it seems, maybe... even in the world before traveling through time, do you really need to worry and nervous about such issues?

"It seems... I don't need to come forward..."

"Yes, in fact, there is no need for people of the Great Consul level to come forward and send a consul to scold them. Just scold them strictly and be done." Xuehua still used her painting method to increase her persuasion. She drew a group of small ants, chattering and wondering what she was saying. Then a huge fist from the sky hit her and made a fork next to her; then she drew the same group of small ants, a big dog came over, spitting and spitting them around, and placing a hook next to her.

Sui Xiong looked at the painting and couldn't help laughing.

"You are right, because I'm too fierce. Let's leave this to you to find a way. In short, don't give those guys a chance to get more aggressive!"

"As for order!" Several voices answered in unison.
