This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 70 Mu Qi
"The king wants to knight me?"

Wearing a long robe, Zhou Li looked at Ah Zi in astonishment while holding a cup of wolfberry black tea, and asked with black lines all over his face, "Is he crazy?"

It's not to blame Zhou Li for losing his composure, after all, the last time the king's plot against him was exposed, Zhou Li had calculated him severely.It has not been three months since today, when the king suddenly convened a council to announce that he would be knighted, and invited him into the royal city to discuss the matter.You must know that being knighted in the Kingdom of Magnum is a very serious and important event.After all, the title of Magnum has real power, and the earl and above must be fiefs.

What surprised Zhou Li the most was that Magnum III wanted to make himself a duke.

Duke!

It was a marquis with a thousand years of money and a territory of hundreds of miles.A high-ranking nobleman who can exercise a veto power among the 66 members of the Upper Council.That is the title that veteran nobles pursued all their lives, and it is difficult for even the holy-level powerhouses to dream of it.

Now, the king wants to bestow the title of real power second only to Zhou Li, who just rode on his head.People who don't know think that the king wants to please the brave man.If anyone knew the inside story, they would think that the king had been controlled by Zhou Li long ago, and that he would do such a thing only after he became Zhou Li's slave.

"Destroy the wolf?"

Zhou Li frowned slightly, and said in thought: "It shouldn't be, this kind of stupid trick can only make him lose a lot of wealth and lose his territory at the same time. I don't know if he is a tiger, but he doesn't have wolves under his command. Those dogs How could you still have the courage to deal with me?"

"I do not know either."

Ah Zi helplessly spread her hands, she was also shocked after getting the news, she directly reported the matter to Zhou Li immediately, hoping that Zhou Li could see what was going on.But now it seems that Zhou Li doesn't understand what Magnum III is doing.

Just when the two were at a loss, a message was delivered to the two from Haiyin's carrier pigeon.It was a letter from the Ayer Chamber of Commerce. The content of the letter was very simple, only one sentence.

"The upper and lower parliaments have passed a vote to implement the Muqi Act and prepare to encroach on the Muqi Republic."

After seeing this briefing, Zhou Li's expression froze immediately, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.After burning the briefing, Zhou Li sneered and looked in the direction of the capital, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"It seems that this is trying to use me as a knife."

*************************************
The Muqi Republic, a standard small country template.

The territory is only one percent of the size of the Magnum Kingdom, and the population is even less than one thousandth of the Magnum Kingdom.The territory is rich in "burning charcoal" used to provide energy, and the mineral resources are also quite rich.The people of Muqi Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, creating a scene of paradise.At the same time, the Republic of Muqi has a completely pollution-free natural environment and the world-leading "Wanlin" scenic spot, which makes this small and beautiful country continuously rated as "Liveable Country" No.1.

However, in such a paradise-like country, the Muqi Republic has never developed its own magic technology. Even if it has charcoal, it does not have the ability to process charcoal into high-grade energy fuel.So far, the Muqi Republic cannot be called a developed country, and the reason is very simple, which can be summed up in one sentence.

It's too far from heaven, too close to Magnum.

As one of the few aborigines in the northern continent, the Muqi Republic was the first country to establish a republic system.But just when they acquired knowledge and assistance from the Eastern countries, the whole country was thriving.

Here comes Magnum.

With the advanced trade union system, tens of thousands of powerful professionals controlled the magic artillery to slaughter the "savages" in the entire northern continent.Although the Muqi Republic has become a country and is protected by the "Twelve Quarters" established by the Twelve Churches, Muqi, which has always advocated coexistence with nature, has never expanded its land and has always lived in the land they prayed to from nature. superior.

Therefore, Magnum directly bypassed the Muqi Republic and directly expanded its territory to the northernmost part of the Northern Continent in less than five years.Directly occupy 70.00% of the land in the North Continent that has never been reclaimed by humans.After fighting a war with the original suzerain country, Magnum directly established the country, and at the same time established "good" diplomatic relations with the Muqi Republic.

The good natural conditions and rich resources of the Muqi Republic itself made Magnum very greedy, but because of the existence of the twelve quarters, Magnum has never directly invaded the Muqi Republic.

However, those who are familiar with history know that the so-called inability to directly invade is just a weak fig leaf for a big country.Soon, Magnum used economic means to block Muqi's external technical channels, and the Eastern Kingdom had no choice but to help because the distance was too far away.Within a few years, the Muqi Republic, which was about to establish its own magic system, plummeted and the magic system collapsed.

"However, what the Magnum Kingdom didn't expect was that their cultural aggression was ineffective and even counterproductive in the Muqi Republic."

In the meeting room, everyone gathered around the round table. Ah Zi, who had been trying to mend the relationship between the two countries all night, had round eyes and a cute appearance in a white uniform, which caused ripples in Ling Hai's heart.

"Although the Muqi Republic has not established its own magical system, they have a well-established professional trade union. In the Muqi Republic, there is a profession that has the highest status."

Ah Zi paused, then she clicked on the whiteboard, and a badge symbol appeared on the whiteboard.The badge is not the familiar bow and arrow or long sword, but a portrait of a book in hand.Ah Zi pointed to the badge and said to everyone:

"This profession is called a teacher."

"Muqi Republic has a very high level of education, and any of their children enjoys free education from birth to 22 years old. And the teacher union in the Muqi Republic is the top level in the entire world. The teachers who come out of here, The worst is the gold level."

"Wow, is that awesome?"

Elma on the side let out a cry of surprise.You know, in this world, it is very difficult for non-combat professions to advance.

"That's it." Ah Zi nodded, then supported the frame of the mirror and continued: "What's even more powerful is that in the Muqi Republic, three teachers have reached the brilliant level, and one teacher has become a saint. These four are worthy It is said that the existence of Wushuang Guoshi hindered the Magnum Kingdom's plan to invade Muqi with culture, allowing Muqi to be preserved."

"Three brilliant-level teachers have become the Minister of Economy, Culture, and Political Affairs of the Muqi Republic. In addition to their daily work, they use the power of the teacher profession to teach the new generation of students and make them become Muqi. The mainstay of the Qi Republic. And that holy teacher is the prime minister of the Muqi Republic."

Zhou Li on the side stood up and said to everyone: "The prime minister gave up his name, so people call him Mr. Muqi. And Mr. Muqi rarely participates in politics. What he wants to do is to use the prime minister's The identity directly teaches the people of the Muqi Republic. To seek the righteous way, not to submit to power."

"Although these four people in Rangmuchi are poor, they all received a good education. Their cultural level is the highest in the world, and their moral level is even higher than that of Magnum. It can be said that it is the foundation of these four pillars. It exists and has preserved the Muqi Republic for more than a hundred years."

"Yet it was yesterday."

Ah Zi stood beside Zhou Li, like a father and daughter.She looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Muqi...seriously ill."
