At the beginning, he was purely on a whim, but after deducing, he suddenly thought that in this era of extremely barren culture and entertainment, in addition to the hard power of various industries, the country's prosperity can also be done if there is an opportunity in terms of cultural strength.

Even if you don't have time to do it seriously, at least, simply copy a few copies from the blue star through the black book, and it doesn't take much to test the spiritual taste of the people of this era, which is actually of great significance for mastering the national spiritual outlook of this era.

Literature is a very important thing for the ruling class, otherwise why were the literati so popular in the first place in the Republic?

"Who is like a pen, three thousand Mauser soldiers. "Who wrote it?

3,000 guns at the top of a pen, do you really think it's just a beautiful word?

……

Anyway, these things won't cost much energy, and the main thing is that they won't cost much money, so Zhang Xun feels that he can think about it more, but he is not in a hurry.

Just as he pondered this, suddenly a new message arrived on his desk.

"The North's Emissary has arrived?"

Zhang Xun frowned, thinking about how this messenger came together.

At first, it was the envoy of peace talks in the west, then Duran in the east, and now there is the envoy from the north.

"Where has the messenger been?" he asked, and the answer he got was clear: he had not yet entered the royal capital, but was in a small town north of the royal capital.

Advance notification is also a proper implication.

"That's ......" Zhang Xun glanced at the hourglass in the room, tacitly calculated the time, and he still had some time to stay, so he made a decision.

"Invite a few ministers to come over, hurry up, let's have a meeting!"

……

Regarding the arrival of the envoy from the north, the Ying Yang courtiers were really a little confused.

Unlike the allies of the East, the North has always been a model of self-concern.

There is a lot of snow in the north, so I am used to sweeping in front of my own door.

There are stones under the snow, so in the impression of the people of the Five Kingdoms, the people of the north are very much like stones, silent and powerful.

The unique climate is also one of the reasons for the reticence of the people of the North.

In some ways, the traditional Yingyang people, who are accustomed to mining, have some qualities similar to those of the northerners.

Especially in temperament, even if you ignore the relatively stocky and tall stature of the people of the North, they have a high degree of similarity with the Yingyang people.

Therefore, for such a kingdom, it is a strange thing to take the initiative to communicate with the outside world.

It is worth paying attention to.

Quickly summoned several important ministers who were still in the royal capital, and Zhang Xun opened the meeting in the main hall.

"According to what we know now, I think it's likely that the people from the north came here this time to seek the assistance of Eagle Yang's alchemist. ”

In the main hall, a brown-haired middle-aged man spoke.

He is Yingyang's liaison envoy to the north, and most of the communication affairs with the northern kingdom are entrusted to him, and this time he also returned with the northern envoy.

"Oh? ”

"Yes. The man said, "Presumably Your Majesty and the ministers still remember the news of the retirement of the 'Thor' of the northern generation last year, and just a few months ago, the new generation of 'Thor' in the north has also appeared, but after the new Thor succeeded, there was an accident, and it is said that there was some problem with Thor's hammer." ”

Hearing him talk about this, several ministers looked thoughtful.

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows, and some memories of Luke appeared in his mind at the right time.

The "God of Thunder" mentioned here is not a real god, and it was said before that the people of the North believe in the God of Thunder, but there are actually some inaccuracies here.

In the unique beliefs of the North, the highest deity should actually be a vague "god of the north".

It's just that because it's too ethereal, it's more like a symbol.

It's like God as people often say, not the Jade Emperor.

In contrast, the religious organizations of the North, known as the Wilderness Sacrifices, used the god of thunder instead of the people's beliefs.

According to the legend of the North, the gods of the North refer to the gods of the earth further north of the Kingdom of the North, that is, the fundamental direction of the migration of the Five Kingdoms thousands of years ago.

The ethereal northern gods will select the most brave warriors of each generation among the people of the north, and give him a part of the power of the gods, so that the warriors who have obtained a part of the divine power will be named "thunder gods" and will also become the guardians of the northern kingdom.

This guardian is not high, but will still be under the command of the king of the north, and the title of this thunder god is like a title similar to "the first warrior of the tribe" if it is put it bluntly.

It has little religious significance, but it is an object of worship for northerners.

In general, it is a rather peculiar thing.

After each generation of "Thor" has passed the golden age, the power has decreased, and it will retire and be replaced by a newly-chosen younger person, and the power from the gods will be transferred to the new master.

In a world of magic, there are indeed some strange magical powers.

Zhang Xun is not surprised by these.

As for Thor's hammer, it is the weapon of each generation of Thor, and it is also something similar to the king's scepter crown and the like, symbolizing orthodoxy, and part of Thor's power is also hidden in it.

"It's kind of like an enchanted weapon. ”

Zhang Xun gave Thor's hammer a definition in his heart.

"What the hell is wrong with Mjolnir?" he asked.

"As far as I know, the hammer of Thor has been used many times in combat due to its age, and it has been used many times in battles over the past hundred years, resulting in some damage to the hammer itself. ”

"Damaged, worn, broken?"

"Probably, I haven't seen it either, after all. The envoy of Eagle Yang in the Northern Kingdom paused and continued, "The people of the North are conservative and too lazy to communicate with other countries, so after the problem with Thor's hammer, it seems that they took a long time to repair, and you all know that although the alchemy level of the people in the north is not as good as our Eagle Yang, it is only second only to us. ”

"However, maybe they have encountered an insurmountable difficulty, I got the news that it was not repaired, so it is very likely that the northerners came to visit this time to use the power of our alchemist to repair Thor's hammer. ”

After a pause, he added: "After all...... His Majesty's new metallurgical technology had already gained a great reputation in all five countries, and it was not surprising that the people of the north wanted to come and ask for help. ”

This analysis is well-founded, and all the ministers can't help but nod.

Zhang Xun asked their opinions, and they all felt that it was possible.

Among them, the words of the governor of the royal capital were particularly simple: "For those stubborn people in the north, only when they encounter a problem like this that they really can't solve themselves, will they think of asking for help from other countries!"

Zhang Xun nodded, thinking that if he came for this, he could help them, and he wouldn't help them for free anyway.

A group of people discussed for a while, and calculated that the northerners would arrive in the royal capital tomorrow, so they decided to talk about it at that time.

When the ministers left, and there was not much of an hourglass left in the hall, Zhang Xun suddenly stopped the last prime minister to leave.

"By the way, I forgot to mention just now, what is the profile of the new generation of Thor in the North? ”

Zhang Xun asked.

Unlike the magicians who can only make some strange props, the "Thor" in the north is a person who really exerts that kind of magical mysterious power in battle, which is probably equivalent to the strongest single combat power in the five countries, Zhang Xun is also very curious about how strong he can be, for example...... Can you stop the bullets?

The prime minister, who had already turned around, squinted his eyes and thought about it when he heard this, and said helplessly: "The minister has a limited understanding of this matter, and only knows the name of the new generation of Thor." ”

"What's your name?"

“…… Thor, well, it's called Thor. ”

Zhang Xun touched his chin, and his eyes deepened.

Thor Thor?

I always feel ...... It's a weird name.
