Chapter 70 First Citizen

William found it on the second day he passed through I don’t seem to need sleep anymore.

The powerful spirit strength makes it difficult for him to feel mentally exhausted. Even if he reads historical documents at a high intensity for several days, the mental burden on him is only a few yawns.

The only time he felt a little tired was when he was testing the upper limit of his magic power, and after renovating the underground training range of Offa University dozens of times with various magics, He finally felt a little sleepy.

But also to the extent that it was completely eliminated after a few minutes of meditation.

Later, he asked Vincent and the others and learned that basically after the spirit strength reaches the Master Level, the requirement for sleep can be replaced by meditation.

Before crossing over, William was a night owl. It was not until the middle-aged body began to take it any longer that he gradually improved and adjusted his own work and rest time. Now, with such innate talent, Then he won’t make it hard.

After finishing the ceremony-related work, William worked with Vincent for a few days to deal with the administrative issues of Rose Palace, which was basically in a semi-paralyzed state, allowing the government to operate gradually. Back on track, and things after that Vincent is easy to get started.

After all, when the wave of undead strikes, Vincent has naturally taken over the leadership of the armed forces of all parties in Thorn City, plus he is the strongest in Thorn City on the surface. After Duke Simon was declared “missing”, it was natural for him, the chief advisor, to serve as the “interim” leader.

Of course, there is also the issue of dealing with the last family members of Simon Ward.

Mrs. Simon died of typhoid at an early age. The only descendant of the Walder surname is Simon’s son, who was previously in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in Thorn City, and that person was before William went to Holy Tomb. , I told Vincent to remember to control it immediately after the tide of undead recedes.

William also went to the secret dungeon to get in touch with him in person, and determined that the other party was a wine skin and rice bag, with nothing special except drinking and playing with women.

at first William is still very strange, why Simon, who can endure the layout for more than 20 years, enough to be called a formidable person, can teach such a textbook hedonistic son of rich parents.

But then he suddenly realized that since Simon planned to obtain the authority of Death God Vera through the King-Rebel ceremony, he had not thought about the heir at all. Instead of teaching his child a bunch of domination tricks that he won’t use until his death, it’s better to let him live a life in a drunken stupor, a place like the Chamber of Commerce, where he can lie down and collect money.

I just pity those who think that he is the only child of the duke, and he will surely succeed him in the future, so he keeps flattering his ministers.

And there were some disagreements between William and Vincent over the treatment of Walder’s final bloodline.

William meant that it would be better to have no trouble in the future, but Vincent wanted to give the other party some money and let him disappear incognito like his father.

But in the end, William agreed with Vincent’s solution.

“Thank you for your kindness, I thought you would insist on this matter.”

Vincent said this doubtfully while sighed in relief.

He didn’t know that William’s approach was the safest and most trouble-free solution, but if he really wanted him to erase the last bloodline of his old friend in this world, he really couldn’t do it.

But William hearing this was the head to say:

“Benevolence? No, I just suddenly figured it out, there must be a lot of people deep in one’s heart in this palace now. People who don’t agree with your rule, and there will be more of them in the future with the promulgation of the New Deal. It’s too troublesome to jump out one by one when the time comes, and I definitely don’t have that much energy to put here, so it’s better Leaving such a banner, when the time comes, wait for them to jump out and solve it once and for all.”

In this world, there is no means of educating and screening management talents, basically the way to become a manager There are only two – bloodline and martial power, of course, more often these two are the two sides of the same coin. Therefore, even if the current management methods of the courtiers and nobles are extremely inefficient in William’s view, he has to admit that they are the most experienced group of people at present, at least the current basic order still needs to be maintained by them.

And there must be a lot of people with their own crooked thoughts among these people, and how to screen them all out is also a big problem. Although William can now work 24 hours a day, he doesn’t want to spend his time on such a high investment and low return.

So instead of actively screening, it is better to wait for them to jump out.

After listening to the other party’s words, Vincent felt that cold sweat broke out on his back, he hesitated and said:

“If he really wants to remain anonymous…”

p>

“Then he can really live a stable life, and he will never even die from being framed by others.” The gray robe fatty fades away.

And the [Nether Soul] that no one can see except William himself, floating tightly behind him.

As long as he is not besieged by more than three Legendary magic casters, he is basically 100% safe.

William thought of this, looked away from the Nether Soul who was carrying an invisible sickle, and then he looked towards Vincent and said:

“But I can do anything to him. At that point, I am deeply skeptical, so it is recommended that you prepare accordingly. But don’t worry, when the time comes, you won’t be asked to do it yourself.”

He said with some comfort. patted Vincent’s shoulder, then walked down the stairs of the city wall.

Vincent was also silent. If things were as Lord William said, that was the only choice even he could make.

Hopefully not…

At this time, William, who was halfway down the stairs, suddenly turned his head and said to Vincent, who was in deep thought:

“Yes. Now, since that person has been sent away, have you thought about your new title? It’s always impossible to issue orders in the name of chief advisor or regent, right? That will make you more and more passive in your future work. Yes.”

“But you neither wanted me to call myself the Duke of Thorns, and you rejected the offer to be crowned King of Blackwater. I really can’t think of a better title for a while.”

Vincent said strangely.

The reluctance to continue to inherit the title of Duke of Thorns is understandable, after all, this title to be conferred by the Riel royal family itself represents the rule of the empire. But this person is obviously a hero from the era of the Seven Kingdoms hegemony a thousand years ago, but for some reason he seems to be deeply disgusted by titles such as “king”.

“Uh… yeah, I’ll think about it…”

The other party replies.

Then the man stood on the stairs and thought for a while, during which Vincent vaguely heard him muttering several words that he did not understand.

After a while, he asked, “You are now calling the adults who live in the city with registered household registration information citizens, right?”

Vincent nodded .

“How about a new title instead of First Citizen?”

Strange title.

But it seems…that’s a very suitable choice? Neither appear arrogant nor appear to be taking the guise of someone else’s power.

Vincent pondered the title carefully, and then the more he thought about it, the more suitable he felt.

Whether it is for the nobles in Rose Palace today, or for the hundreds of thousands of residents of Thorn City, will not make people feel too unacceptable.

At least not a violent bounce.

If he were to directly crown himself the Blackwater King now, there would be no small conflict. And if you can’t calm down quickly, it may directly lead to a civil war.

“Lord Judge, I think this should be fine, no, there should be no better choice than this at the moment.”

Hearing his own words, the man’s face changed. Suddenly there was a smile that seemed to have succeeded.

“That’s good, that’s good.”

The other party turned around and continued down the stairs.

Vincent subconsciously asked:

“Sir, where are you going next?”

The other party replied :

” Going to church, it’s time to deal with the trouble of borrowing things.”

Thanks to Branch Lord for the reward from aioer, thank you very much! ! !
