Chapter 073: Seeing and Hearing in the Northern Country - Talking about Ancient Things

After several months of trekking, George and his party finally arrived at the capital of the Snow King, Frost City.

Legend has it that Frost City was built with the help of giants, and the city was so large that it was full of towering buildings, and even George, who was rarely impressed by the outside world, had to sigh at the ingenuity of the craftsmen of the northern country, what kind of craftsmen could complete such a magnificent building!

The group went to the palace to meet the ruling priest, that is, the queen of the Drifting Snow Country.

For the first time, George learned that the Drifting Snow Country was originally ruled by sacrifices, and it seems that this country is shrouded in a veil of mystery!

Norcentaugh arranged for George to rest at the embassy, and then went to the statecraft to ask for a statecraft and report on the results of his trip to the Twin Cities.

George had a very boring life all the way, and after arriving in Frost City, he couldn't be idle, so he discussed with Dujenev to go to the suburbs to fight, this time George learned to be a thief, and asked Dujetav to release intermediate magic, hoping to replicate the other party's magic.

Dujetav used a black fire chain of feet, one kick at a foot on George's lower abdomen, George held his breath and resisted, occasionally threw out a few explosive bullets to attack Dujetaf, but they were all flexibly dodged by the other party, Dujetav took a flexible step to attack George from different directions, George deliberately did not dodge, so that the opponent's attack fell on him, Dujetav suddenly took a side step, drilled under George's lower abdomen, and then launched a flaming fist with a flick of his fist.

The tremendous force blasted George out of the air, and caused George to roll on the ground several times, George got up and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, shouting, "I wiped it!" This attack is so fast that he doesn't even have time to react. ”

Dujetav smiled: "Your kid's body is really resistant to beatings, and you can still stand up after being hit by my Bombardment Fist, how can a melee mage be better than a long-range mage?"

George laughed and said, "Uncle, you are bullying me for not knowing high-level defense magic, and when I have the opportunity to learn advanced defense magic, can you break through my defense when you see it?"

Dujetav waved his hand and said: "Boy, don't brag, I'll take you to the library right now and give you the opportunity to learn advanced defense techniques, it's not that I underestimate you, advanced defense skills can't be learned in a while, and whether you can defend against my attacks after learning it is still two words!"

George thought to himself, not only did he reproduce the Black Fire Serial Foot, but he also used the agitation method to let the other party take him to learn advanced magic, and this wave was a sure success.

George rushed headlong into the library and didn't come out, and Dujetaver had access to two forbidden spells or four advanced spells.

George chose to look up 2 forbidden spells.

Magic Reflex: Theoretically, this forbidden technique can reflect two percent of the opponent's attack, and it is not intended to be a chicken rib forbidden technique, and the reflection effect is too low, and no one has ever learned it. George regarded it as a treasure, and it may not be powerful to learn this forbidden technique by himself, but if Tina can learn this forbidden technique, she may be able to reflect fifty percent of the opponent's damage, which is a spell worth learning.

Titan Gun: Legend has it that this is not a forbidden technique that humans can use, but someone forcibly changed this forbidden technique so that this forbidden technique can be mastered by humans, but the result is that it is very time-consuming and laborious to master, and the power after release is pitiful, it is called a forbidden technique, but the power is not much stronger than the fire bomb. This kind of boring forbidden art is not cared for at all.

George quickly memorized the contents of the two forbidden spells, and spent the rest of his time reading ancient books.

George found a book of ancient secrets, which recorded a counterinsurgency war in the time of the King of York, a rebel family after being defeated by the Imperial forces several times, sacrificed to the elven goddess and called for the help of the elven goddess, but these ghosts sent a god to summon the world-destroying demons, and the world-destroying demons destroyed all living things in their field of vision...

George notices two terms that he currently knows:

The rebels of the Isis family and the magic crystal weapons, the descendants of the rebels of the year actually survived and established the Black Diamond Kingdom.

It seems that the connection between the Isis family and the Capet family is not only the relationship between monarchs and ministers, but also some kind of mysterious relationship that is hidden in the fog of history, and the magic crystal actually comes from the demonic beasts living on the icy holy mountain, and these demonic beasts contain magic crystals in their bodies, which can be used to make all kinds of magic wands after hunting and taking them out. But George knew that these magic crystals were still the raw materials for making mecha puppets and elemental charging cannons, but at present, he was the only one in the world who secretly hid one, and he never saw anyone else use it, so it seemed to be a taboo-like existence.

George imagined how large a magic crystal could be made of a mecha puppet to produce such a large magic crystal, but in fact, George didn't know the ancient process, and the magic crystal of the mecha puppet was spliced together by multiple magic crystals, not a whole magic crystal.

George also found that all the records about the Demon of Destruction had been deliberately hidden, what the Demon of Destruction looked like, what weapons did it use, and what kind of damage it could cause, but George did not give up and kept looking for historical records related to it.

Ten days later, the statecraft summoned George.

George came to an office full of various official documents, and a middle-aged woman was constantly reviewing official documents, frowning and then thoughtfully rejecting them.

Henna looked up at George, and said, "Hello Duke George, it's a pleasure to meet you, thank you for being able to come to the Snow Drifter in person, Norcentaugh has told me something about you, and I am very interested in it, and I very much hope to have a short exchange with you." ”

George said: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I am amazed that the Queen of your country is so diligent, and I hope that my visit will not delay your work. ”

Henna said: "Duke George makes you laugh, although I am so busy every day, but the country has not improved, I believe you have also seen along the way, the nobles and warlords everywhere are too big to lose, the national life is miserable, I can't change all this." ”

George said: "Your Majesty, you are too modest, I have traveled all the way, the Drifting Snow Country is very stable, the number of thieves is scarce, not large-scale, compared to other countries, your rule has been very effective. ”

Henna sighed: "Duke George, the reason why I am so honest with you is not to complain, but to hope that the current situation will change, and I hope that under my rule, the country will become richer and stronger, instead of gradually being corrupted by the aristocracy." ”

George said: "Thank you very much for your honesty, in fact, I have very little experience in governing the country, and many of my ideas are not mature, but I prefer to believe in laws and institutions, if the country can establish a complete legal system and strictly abide by it, then the foundation of the country will be greatly improved, and the future construction will be easier." ”

Henna said thoughtfully: "Duke George, most of them think that only by managing the nobility well can the country be governed well, but you have put forward a new proposition, so that everyone regardless of status and status, abide by the same law, that is a difficult thing!"

George smiled: "Yes, at present, all countries are run by aristocrats, so if you want to break this situation, the only way to break this situation is to establish a new state and then fundamentally establish a legal foundation, and then gradually assimilate the surrounding countries, which is very difficult to achieve in theory." ”

Henna smiled: "How easy is it, I'm afraid that this kind of transformation will not be achieved in hundreds of years, who can change the world with the power of one country?"

George and Hena chatted for a long time, and Henna said: "Duke George, in fact, I invite you to come this time, there is one more thing, I hope you can join the Drifting Snow Country, I will appoint you as the Duke of the Drifting Snow Country, and then govern the area around Amesvalon, all personnel appointments and military forces are not familiar, all you are free to control."

George said, "Your Majesty, your terms are very generous, so what do you hope for in return?"

Henna smiled, "It's fun to communicate with smart people, and I hope you can continue to expand, encroach on the lands of the Black Diamond Kingdom and the Giant Elephant Kingdom, and share your successful governance experience with me." “

George smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you may think highly of me, I am just a little land of Amesvalon, how can I have the strength to confront two great powers?"

Henna smiled: "Duke George, others may not know yet, but our secret agents have learned that Budavis and the surrounding cities have been secretly controlled by you, if you connect the land of Budavis and Ammesvalon, then your land is more than half of the former Da Yu country, such a powerful strength is still so modest, I think Duke George is plotting a broader land, right?"

George was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the right agent to be able to find out such a secret thing, and said embarrassedly: "Okay, Your Majesty, I don't want everyone to fight endlessly every day, I just hope to end the troubled times as soon as possible and let everyone live a good life, and in the troubled times, if you want the other party to be obedient, you can only kill and kill, which is indeed a helpless thing." “

Henna said: "I don't care what method you use, as long as you can annex other countries, I will support you, you may not know, the position of governing the country is elected by the high priest, not hereditary, if Duke George has the ability to change the pattern of the world, then the position of the ruling sacrifice can also be done by you!"

George hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't laugh, I'd better manage my one-third of an acre of land first, I don't dare to think about things that are too far away!"

Henna and George chatted for a while, but Henna continued to attend to her official business, while George returned to the embassy and waited for a reply from Norcentaugh.

In the evening, Taaff told George that he would leave for the Frost Sanctuary the next day to meet the High Priest.

The architecture of the Frost and Snow Sanctuary is very majestic, standing on top of the high mountains and rolling into the clouds, and in a sacred and majestic hall, George meets the legendary high priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess Cult.

A plainly dressed woman wrapped in a cloak looked up at the main peak, hidden at the top of the mountains, where the goddess of ice and snow abode, who had never appeared in the world, but only conveyed the will of the goddess through oracles.

It had been many years since the oracle had been issued, and the priestess felt that she was lost and could not find her way. George's appearance gave the High Priest a glimmer of opportunity to change the situation in the world, and she wanted to see the boy for herself.

When the high priest turned his head and lifted his cloak to reveal his face, George was stunned and speechless for a long time... Finally held back a few words: "Frost and Snow Goddess?"

The high priest saw that George looked at him in surprise as if he had met each other, and asked, "Duke George, have you seen me in one another?"

George found that the appearance of the high priest was actually the same as the statue of the goddess he saw in the dark forest back then, but he couldn't tell the matter of the dark forest, after all, there were a lot of secrets involved, George hurriedly interrupted: "The high priest's face is majestic and mysterious, at first glance, he was actually suppressed by you, forgive me." ”

In fact, each high priest will gradually become the same after officially succeeding to the throne, and it is also a sign of blessing and recognition by the goddess of frost and snow, which is unknown to everyone except the high priest, and it is a secret that only the high priest knows. Others can only get a general idea of what they look like, but they don't know what is going on.

The high priest knew in his heart that it would not be so simple, and it might involve some secrets, but it was difficult for him to break it, and he would send someone to secretly investigate.

The high priest smiled and said, "Duke George, the purpose of inviting you here this time is very simple, since the disintegration of the York Empire, the world has experienced hundreds of years of war, and the people are not living. Seriously against the will of the goddess of frost and snow, I hope someone can find a way to end this troubled world. ”

George said: "High Priest, to be honest, I didn't have the ambition to fight for the world before, I was just an ordinary person who wanted to spend the rest of my life in peace, and I was inadvertently affected by the war, and led a group of brothers to start fighting in this troubled world, just to find a way to live." On this road of no return, I found a lot of shortcomings in governing the country, and the wrong way of governing, although I don't have a suitable way to change it now, but I hope to change the situation around me in a people-oriented way, and I don't know what kind of effect it will achieve in the end. ”

The High Priest thought for a moment and said, "I encourage you to try, and I hope you succeed, after all, your intentions are very good, but as far as I know, there were some wise monarchs in ancient times, but in the end, their way of ruling was not passed on. ”

George said: "I think that no matter how virtuous the monarch is, it is only for a while, and what is needed to govern the world is a code that can be passed down for generations, and everyone governs the country in strict accordance with the code, so even if a country perishes, then the successor country can also govern the country according to the code, and the world will gradually unify, and the troubled times will slowly end." ”

The high priest asked, "Are you confident that you can do it? Can you write a code of law that will be passed down from generation to generation?"

George smirked: "I don't have confidence, but I will keep trying for the sake of my brothers and friends!"

The high priest looked at George carefully and said, "Duke George, I hope you can adhere to your ideals and realize it, as long as you insist on your approach, our Ice and Snow Goddess Church will send people to secretly support you!"

George performed a standard aristocratic salute and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your trust and support, but I believe that I will use my own hands to accomplish my ideals, and will not rely on the strength of others!"

The high priest smiled: "Duke George, you are too worried, what we need is not a puppet, but someone who can realize the ideal!"

George thought to himself, it's not a puppet to blame! How can there be a free lunch in the world? Will people support themselves in vain? I'm afraid that if you support it, it will become someone else's territory...

After some conversation, the High Priest and George had a good conversation, and it was not until the evening that George followed Northentaff back to the royal capital, and the Sanctuary was not allowed to let men stay overnight.

After George left, the high priest waved his hand into the shadows of the temple, and from the shadows appeared a little girl, who was only eight or nine years old, but with the composure and wisdom of an adult in her eyes.

The High Priest said, "Terina, from today onwards, you have to study George's military strategy and statecraft more, and then create a set of our own statecraft. In the future, you will take over the position of governing the country and sacrificing the world, and in the future, it will be our Snow Country that will finally unify the world!

The girl replied in a weak childish voice, "Yes, High Priestess, I will dedicate the rest of my life to fulfill the will of the Goddess of Frost and Snow!"

On the way back, Norcentaaff gave George a scroll, the Blade of High-Grade Magic Ice.

George asked, "Uncle, why did you give me such a valuable gift?

Norcentaaff smiled: "Don't forget, Tina's Guenla magic challenge with me is not over yet, it is just suspended, and the Guenla challenge will not end, and there will be a result in the end." ”

George froze in place, and then scolded angrily: "You bad old man is very bad, Tina can't beat you at all, I've been deceived by you here, and now you say this kind of thing again!"

Norcentaugh spread his hands and said, "I'll give you a month to prepare, and then you'll have your own destiny!"

George said angrily, "A month, a year is not enough! I'll go and prepare now, I have to find a way to deal with you." ”

Northen Taff laughed, patted George on the shoulder, and then disappeared into the white horizon with a few jumps.
