Broad World

The adjustment of a country’s policy is never a trivial matter, especially involving all aspects of interest. Only through mutual mediation can civil strife be avoided. Hawke and Corey were very busy in the next few days. They even ate and slept in the office. They didn't relax until they worked out a feasible plan.

As for Henry, after setting up the task, he plunged into the mage tower, conducted a comprehensive inspection of his body, and then developed and solidified a few spells that could make the body work again.

Ever since he felt the true sense of time stillness, he has a new understanding of this abstract concept that exists around everything. Therefore, through the combination of time magic and necromancy spells, the digestive system is restored to function, and at the same time Also invented several very interesting new spells.

The first is the nine-level magic "Time Shuttle". It allows the caster to temporarily have the power to adjust his time, ten seconds forward or ten seconds backward, and the damage received or caused during this period will be retained, and will be reflected when the time axis reaches the specified position.

The second is the sixth-level spell "Retrospect in Time". It was specially invented by Henry to heal his body. It can restore the target to before the injury by reversing time, and it can also be used to repair precious magical creations. Since the effect of this spell is permanent, mastering the timing in actual combat will definitely surprise the opponent.

The third is the eight-level magic "Slow Seal". Create a deceleration time stream with a radius of about seven meters, so that the speed of the creatures entering the range, whether it is movement, speech, or brain thinking, is reduced to one-third of the original. Very effective against enemies who like group fights.

The fourth is the magic that makes the body work. It's called "the body of the living dead." It is an out-and-out legendary spell. It can completely restore a corpse to its pre-mortem state. The heartbeat, body temperature, and internal organs are all the same as a living person, but there is no soul, and it can only survive by biological instinct like a walking dead.

Henry, who was immersed in the study of magic, quickly forgot the passage of time. It was not until two days before the coronation ceremony that he was dragged out by Shikoudi, who came from Angkor Island. Otherwise, he might simply miss this important ceremony.

No way, almost everyone knew how zealous the wizards were when they were doing magic research, and even important officials like Hawke and Corey didn't dare to disturb them. Not to mention other people.

More than two months of sleepless research did not make Henry feel a little tired. On the contrary, he regained his physiological functions with the help of spells and could enjoy the same life as normal people again. When he followed his wife out of the Mage Tower, he was instantly taken aback by the sight in front of him.

I saw a large crowd of people dressed as aristocrats kneeling in front of the door. Among them, there were men and women, old and young, and the number was about 30. All of them bowed their heads, and seemed to have been here for a while.

"This is..." Henry turned his head to look at his wife in confusion.

Shikodi smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at me, I just arrived today, and I don't know what's going on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene, the bishop of Hienworth Church, greeted him with sweating profusely and shouted: "Your Majesty. They are all cities of Beldask, Dongxing City, Ilyaba, Asblewin and The leaders of the surrounding villages and towns have come here to show you their loyalty."

"That's it. I really didn't expect your diplomatic skills to be so good, you persuaded all the towns to obey the rule of the kingdom in such a short period of time." Henry complimented the greedy bishop while quietly turning his thumb up ruby. Tucked into the opponent's palms calmly, the whole process was quite concealed, only Shikoudi, who was standing by the side, could see clearly.

"It is my honor to be able to serve you such a generous majesty. After all, for the nobles, negotiation is the best way to solve the problem. Our blood is so noble, and once it is damaged, it will not be good." Eugene Red light bowed and said.

Since he saw the size and color of the gemstones, the whole person has become very excited, his mouth is like honey, he just picks it up nicely, saying that he doesn't know how to throw things like ethics and shame into that corner. The flattering was even one after another, even Shikoudi couldn't stand it.

However, these were drizzle to Henry, who had seen the faces of earth politicians. He kept a polite smile from beginning to end, and nodded from time to time. After more than ten minutes, the two men stopped unsatisfied.

As for the guys who were kneeling on the ground, they were cold all over by the howling north wind. Some even had a little purple lips, but no one dared to act rashly.

As the elite class in this world, there are no fools at all among them. They all know that this is an obvious dismissal. After all, the nobles who surrendered as the last moment will suffer some difficulties, but in order to ensure the continuation of the family, Can only endure with gritted teeth.

Altagos has planted the seeds of fear in all towns along the way. All the rulers understand what kind of disaster such a huge brown dragon can cause. The ordinary army has lost its meaning in front of it. Very wisely chose to surrender.

Glancing at the noble representative who was still trembling on the ground, Eugene reminded with a smile: "Your Majesty, maybe you should entertain your courtiers. They are the cornerstone of the kingdom's stability."

"Of course, but before that, I have to confirm whether these foundation stones are strong, otherwise it will be very troublesome if they collapse." Henry said with a pun.

He didn't believe in the loyalty of these guys who were forced to take refuge in the situation, so he planned to gradually divide, win over, attack, and weaken these non-subordinate forces after the country stabilized, until they knew who was the real master of this land.

"Your Majesty, please give us a chance to prove our loyalty." A noble representative who was kneeling on the ground called out loudly.

"Hehe, don't worry, there will be such a chance in the future." Henry's mouth turned up slightly and said this meaningful sentence. "Because you were still active in the end, I decided to ensure that your property and territory are not violated. At the same time, you will retain your noble status. But the title... I am afraid there is only the lowest level of knight.

After hearing this promise. Everyone present involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the property and noble status are preserved, few people would naively think that they can still retain their previous titles.

You should know that the aristocratic system in the West Hartland region is notoriously chaotic. Except for a few large cities, such as the Baldur’s Gate, basically the noble titles in small places are self-proclaimed and cannot be obtained from other countries. Recognition.

One of the most famous jokes is that there is a village called Dagger Beach in the south of Deep Water City. There are less than a thousand residents in it, but the ruler Pyle? A fifth-level human warrior actually claimed to be a duke, which made people laugh out loud.

Henry couldn't control other places, but he never allowed similar situations to happen under his rule. In his eyes, a person is awarded as much credit as he has done, and the title of a nobleman must match his own strength, otherwise he can only get merciless ridicule.

According to the intelligence provided by Robert, one-third of the thirty people in front of him call themselves dukes, one-third call themselves earls, and all the rest are barons. As for the total number of troops they can mobilize, no more than five thousand people are combined. Even if it was spread out in every city, it was almost a thousand years old, and Altagos only had to spray a few breaths of dragon in the air. The entire army can collapse in an instant.

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Your Majesty the Great King. On behalf of all the residents of the four cities of Beldasque, Donghang City, Ilyaba, and Asbrevin, we swear to obey your rule and are willing to assume the obligations of the nobility. Obey the laws of the kingdom and become your most loyal subject..."

More than 30 nobles took out the book of allegiance that had been prepared for thousands of words and read it out loud, and then cut their fingers with a knife to let the blood drip on the lower right, and finally covered their family crest, the whole The allegiance ceremony is over.

Looking at the thick pile of parchment in his hand, Henry showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, I accept your allegiance. Now everyone is coming to the ducal mansion. I just plan to hold a grand event this evening. Banquet, let everyone get to know each other by the way."

"It's a great honor to be invited by you, and we will definitely participate on time." After saying that the nobles bowed deeply and then turned and left with the help of their servants. After kneeling in the ice and snow for so long, their bodies were long gone. Stiff ones have difficulty even walking.

Bishop Eugene also left after a few chats and returned to his residence. In a blink of an eye, only the husband and wife were left in front of the originally lively mage tower.

"My dear, congratulations on finally unifying West Hartland, and I am about to become a queen soon." Shikoudi whispered with the excitement in his heart after everyone walked away. She couldn't believe that her childhood dream could still be realized, and she was not over thirty years old, at least she could enjoy the envy and jealous eyes of countless women for decades.

Henry kissed his wife's cheek lightly, and said ambitiously: "No, this is just the beginning. Look at it, I will make the Kingdom of West Hartland the strongest of the entire continent, and even the strongest main plane. The largest and most influential country, and our family will also become extremely prominent."

His goal is to build a magical empire like Netheril and Imaskar that even the gods are amazed by. How can UU reading www.uukānshu.com be satisfied with an ordinary kingdom, at least to reach the summer The level of the En empire, and more floating cities have to be built.

Of course, this is not easy, especially when the technology of Misera's nuclear manufacturing is completely lost.

But Henry believes that things are man-made. After all, there is magical energy everywhere in this world. As long as he can find a way to absorb and utilize it, one day he can also create something similar. But before that, it’s not bad to use nuclear energy to create a copycat game. Anyway, Borken knows the magic structure of "Uttern Floatation" and "Kronomancer Gravity Reversal", so I can just improve it a little bit. Works.

Shikodi squeezed her husband's hand and nodded firmly: "Although I don't know exactly what you are going to do, I will always stand behind you and support you."

"Thank you, that's enough to have you. Let's go back, let's go back and see how the children are doing by the way." Henry took his wife's hand and walked towards the Ducal Palace, even in the winter. The cold wind could not stop his burning ambition. (To be continued...)
