Chapter 5: The Merchant

The calendar has always been the closest science to nature for human beings, and it is used to measure time, judge climate, and so on according to the law of celestial changes.

Nine hundred and eighty-five years ago, the Council of the Seven Kings adopted a proposal for a unified calendar for mankind, called the Dawning Calendar.

In the 986th year of the dawn calendar, on the first day of spring, the palace of Angela.

It is a royal palace made up of five huge pyramid-like buildings.

The tallest and largest pyramid in the center is the main palace of Angela, which is topped with 30,000 crystals, which shine brightly in the sun, and can be seen even from the Tamir River, dozens of kilometers away.

The pyramid is dark gold, and the main body is 40 meters high, which is the tallest building in the Kingdom of Angela, symbolizing the supreme honor of Queen Angela.

The main palace is divided into seven floors, the highest is the bedroom of Queen Kslear III, the lower part is the queen's relatives, maids and supporting halls, and the lowest is where the queen handles daily affairs.

At the base of the pyramid, a dark river gushes out of the circle, which provides ample power to the underground mechanism of the elevator, and of course, the fountain in the square in front of the pyramid also benefits from this mechanical design, which is said to have been made by dwarven craftsmen.

The other four are all three-storey, but each has its own function, and the East Palace is inhabited by Queen Eve Ixlier's palace guard and the Kingdom Knights. The North Palace is the place where the ministers of the kingdom deal with government affairs, such as the Privy Council.

The West Palace is the Temple of the Mother Goddess, where in addition to the clergy, there is also the Order of the Mother Goddess.

Nangong is more complicated, the palace library, the stargazing platform, and the palace school are all here, and Mars also studied here, until now, of course, even if he doesn't go to the school, no one will look for trouble.

At this moment, in the Hall of Glory at the lowest level of the royal palace, Queen Kslear III sat on the golden throne, and her graceful posture added a touch of bright color to the slightly dull hall.

The ministers stood in the hall, quietly bowing their heads, waiting for the queen to speak.

"The Council of the Seven Kings, which takes place every five years, is taking place in the kingdom this time, do you ministers have anything to say?"

The queen's voice is very distinctive, loud and feminine, with a hint of royal majesty in the plain, especially her narrow eyes, with a touch of majesty between expectations.

The Council of the Seven Kings is a meeting between the kings of the seven kingdoms of mankind in the first month of summer every five years to plan for the future of mankind and reconcile some practical conflicts.

"Your Majesty, winter is coming to an end, spring plowing is imminent, and officials everywhere must also supervise serfs and freedmen to sow seeds, and I am afraid that there will be no manpower. ”

An old man dressed in fancy clothes said.

The queen frowned slightly, glanced at the old man, and instead looked at a nobleman sitting at the head of the courtiers, "Earl Walter, is it true that your Privy Council can't draw manpower?"

The Prime Minister, Walter Green, was an earl who served as the Queen's former Prime Minister and was in charge of the Privy Council, which was responsible for the day-to-day running of the kingdom, and the affairs of the kingdom were almost handed over to the Prime Minister except for major matters decided by the Queen.

However, the old prime minister is already seventy-three years old, which is rare in the position of former prime minister of Angela, which shows that Queen Kslier III relied on him.

Walter's hanging head slowly raised, opened a pair of old eyes, and suddenly a sharp gaze swept over the ministers, and the ministers couldn't help but stand up a lot straighter.

But the prime minister didn't care, and then stroked the queen's chest and saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although the kings of the other six countries will not come to the Council of the Seven Kings, all of them are the most important nobles of each country, and they represent the kings of a country......

The queen's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of satisfaction, this is her former prime minister, the consideration of the problem is not comparable to other officials, she is only forty years old now, the traces of time have not carved many traces on her face at all, she is still bright and stunning, the queen stood up and made a final decision.

"The Council of the Seven Kings is a very important matter for Angela and the royal family of Kslier, and this matter will be handed over to Walter for full discretion, and all arrangements will be prioritized by the Council of the Seven Kings!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The ministers immediately stroked their chests and agreed.

......

With the news of the meeting of the seven kings being held in the royal capital of Angela from the royal palace, the entire royal capital was completely boiling, and according to the specifications of the meeting of the seven kings, the preparation of the meeting of the seven kings means that there will be more job opportunities waiting for the freedmen of the royal capital.

Not only the freemen, but also the thieves are waiting for them. Of course, there are also some places related to life, such as casinos, brothels and so on, that should be renovated, and those who should reserve high-quality women are also stockpiled, waiting for the arrival of the missions of the six countries.

......

In the room, a quill floated above the desk, and on the white paper, Mars's name was written crookedly, and then fell to the side with a "snap".

At the desk, Mars exhaled lightly, this was the result of his three days of training, and it was already his limit to be able to barely write for an hour like this, and the magic power in his body would become almost exhausted.

Next, he needs to relax or fall asleep, and after twelve hours, his mana will fully recover.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and recuperate, the maid Maisie knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?"

Mars asked lightly, Mehi is a very caring maid, originally the personal maid of his mother Aldeer, after his mother died, he was left to Mars, and the maid generally did not disturb him except for delivering food.

Mehi still stood outside the door and said softly: "Your Highness, a Finlay merchant asked to see you, saying that he admired your talent and learning, and he came to see you, can you see it?"

"Finlay merchants?"

Mars was a little strange that a merchant admired his talents, and if he were a professor at the palace school, he would believe it, but a merchant was a little suspicious.

There is no doubt that Mars, who has read the 100,000 books of the palace library, has a great reputation in the court school, and he can cite scriptures on any topic, and the views he expounds are also convincing to those professors.

If Mars hadn't been a proton, he would have been hired as a court professor a long time ago.

However, Mars's ten years of hard study have also made him famous in Angela's academic circles, so to speak, his memory is very good, a 100-page book, he only needs to read it three times, he can remember everything, not to mention that he really has nothing else to do in the past ten years, except to read or read.

However, he has no bookish temperament at all, and perhaps Mars just sees reading as a pastime.

"It seems like I haven't seen a living person in a long time. ”

Mars whispered to himself, and then said, "Well, Guest!"
