in the name of the queen

Chapter 173: You are out there, and you will not accept your fate
The division plan for the city-state of Vaal was introduced very quickly.

The city-state's fertile land on the west bank of the Rodinia River belongs to the Golden Kite Republic.

This land is indeed good, but its strategic position is inferior. It is across the river from the main city of Vaal City and belongs to a separate area.

Although it is not the best place, it is not the worst either. The representative of Jin Yuan Kingdom accepted it without much objection.

The Kingdom of Tyrol was assigned to the southern city area, the Sussex Empire was assigned to the northern city area and part of the docks, and the Vladimir Empire was assigned to the east city area and part of the docks.

The occupied areas of the Wende Empire were sandwiched between the Sussex and Vladimir occupied areas, and they were all relatively poor places.

The occupied areas were divided according to the strength of each country, and they had nothing to say.

All three major religions can open churches within the city to preach, but they cannot cross the border.

The Holy Spring of Light is naturally handed over to the Holy Palace of Light.

After the partition was completed, most countries were satisfied.

Sif declined politely but firmly.

After the international conference, representatives from various countries left one after another.

The empire spent money, but it was the governor who was sent abroad who benefited. Naturally, the empire's center was not happy.

The interests of the governors and the ministers of overseas affairs coincided with each other, but they conflicted with the local officials.

Colonial expansion can bring benefits to the empire, but it cannot override the empire.

The empire is too big.

Her reasons are good.

Behind every minister there are interest groups, and the interests of these groups are not consistent.

Prime Minister William had many things to do and could not leave the imperial capital for a long time. After the guests from various countries left, he also boarded the returning warship.

Before leaving, he visited Sif and tentatively asked Sif if she wanted to go back with him.

There are countless contradictions like this.

The Vaal City-State is not satisfied. Fortunately, the Vaal City-State has disappeared, so there is no need to care about their feelings.

Although she did not plan to go back, she still recognized William's work.

Not every colony was as prosperous and obedient as Bharat.

She wants to continue investigating her father's disappearance.

When Sif was in the imperial capital, everyone thought she was a troublemaker. When she left, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief, including him.

The empire is too huge, like a giant tree reaching into the sky, with all kinds of intertwined networks of interests.

After Sif left, William gradually realized the significance of the emperor's existence.

Like the Secretary of State for Overseas Affairs, he certainly wanted to expand more colonies. But the Home Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer don't think so.

Some places are rich in products, but the folk customs are fierce and the cost of maintaining the colony is high.

When leaving the Queen's Palace, William just sighed silently and said nothing.

Even a shrewd and capable minister like Prime Minister William cannot reconcile the relations between the parties.

It would be great if the Queen could return to the imperial capital.

Although the Queen is young, she is an orthodox emperor after all, and her appeal is extraordinary.

Not long after she came to Hansa, the three overseas provinces that originally had their own thoughts united. This was the appeal of the royal family.

Without the Queen in charge, many of William's ideas could not be implemented.

Mr. Prime Minister sighed and got on board.

When you are outside, you will not accept your fate.

We can't kidnap the queen back. If he really had this idea, the angry armies from the three provinces would immediately tear him to pieces.

Watching all the guests leave, Roland could finally close the door and take stock of his harvest.

In the small study, he locked the door and summoned the soul card.

The background color of the card of the main profession [Inheriter] turns purple.

Passing on the knowledge and abilities of the elves to the strong men of the clan can improve the achievements of the inheritors.

The elves have become extinct, and only Sif can accept the inheritance. As Sif's strength and realm continue to grow, Roland continues to benefit.

When Sif reaches the seventh level, he can achieve the hidden achievement and let the entire elven royal family jump up in level.

This is a rare and special achievement that allows him to be easily promoted. His main career advancement path is completely tied to Sif.

When Sif upgrades, he can follow her.

Somewhat opportunistic, but that's the rule.

When Sif is promoted, will there still be an elf royal family that has not been upgraded? No.

Roland's associate professional knight also got the opportunity to be promoted.

In the fierce battle with the golden tree demon, he risked his own life to protect the monarch, allowing the protected object to escape death, and directly activated the opportunity to be promoted to a special branch.

Roland didn't miss the opportunity.

His secondary profession has also reached level eight [Guardian].

The [Guardian] characteristic gives Roland strong vitality and defense, making his survivability a qualitative leap forward.

Only when you are alive can you have output. Roland is very satisfied with this promotion.

In addition, he also gains a special ability that can only be activated once a day, [Divine Blessing].

He can summon a sacred sanctuary to protect both himself and the person he is guarding.

Unless the sacred sanctuary is breached, both he and the person being protected are safe.

This special ability reminded Roland of the gift ring he got when shopping at the Magic Association.

The ring did its job and protected him from the attack of the tree demon.

Unfortunately, it is a disposable product. Although the ring is not broken, the magic stored in it is lost.

He was thinking about whether to go to the Magic Association to recharge the ring.

The advantage of the ring is that he does not need to judge the timing of release and can be activated passively.

Combined with [Holy Blessing], it can avoid fatal damage twice.

What to do if there is a third time?
Being able to encounter three fatal injuries in a short period of time shows that the strength gap with the enemy is too big.

Then we can only reopen it, otherwise what else can we do.

Roland stared at the soul card for a long time, then took back all the cards.

He knew that the soul card training system came from the Second Era. It was said to be a system studied by the King of Gods to help mortals absorb the power of the stars and practice.

With the end of the Second Era, soul cards have also undergone countless evolutions and finally formed the current system.

It is said that the end point of each series of cards, level zero, is the true god.

The three goddesses of the second era all followed the card training route.

They succeeded, but no one has since.

After all, the attack of the Divine Punishment Legion is too difficult to withstand.

Roland didn't think that far ahead.

Let’s be realistic, let’s talk about Macbeth and Sophia first.

Just when Roland was thinking about life, there was a knock on the door.

The special knocking technique produces alternate long and short sounds.

Roland was a little surprised. How could Alina come to her door in broad daylight?

When she opened the door, she saw Alina's excited expression.

"Roland, the direction of fate has changed!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, sit down and speak slowly."

Roland closed the door, poured a glass of water for Alina, motioned for her to sit down and said.

Alina couldn't hide her excitement and said softly: "Roland, you asked me to observe the fate of the people around you and then predict your fate. Just now, I saw that Sif's face was rosy and she looked good, so I re-observed her. Where destiny leads.”

"Her life was supposed to end in her twenties, but now it has changed!"

Roland raised his brows, and there was a hint of trembling in his calm voice.

"What are her chances of winning?"

Alina answered honestly, "I don't know."
