The next morning, a drizzle of cattle fell like smoke and fog over the sky.

The transparent rain fell, filling the air with a moist earthy fragrance. The laurel and holly trees are washed by this, and they become more and more green, upright, and vibrant, and endearing.

The well-carved royal garden has a different style in the rain.

The dripping sound of the water accumulated in the treetops falls into the pond like a string, and a perfect circle of ripples ripples. The goldfish seemed to be unable to withstand the dampness and emerged from the water, leaving a series of pearl-like bubbles.

Qiqiu had gone completely crazy in the rain, and his black hair was wet into wisps and stuck to his body, and he couldn't care about restraint. Scurrying through the bushes, dirty as a mud monkey.

Gunther, who was as strong as an ox, wore a tuxedo, silk gloves were spotless like snow, straight and serious, and silently held up a black umbrella.

"It's a bit cool when it rains. The lord stood under the umbrella and let out a sigh of relief, turning into a white mist dragon and slowly drifting away.

This slightly cold morning was perfect for waking up his sleepy and sleepy spirit.

"Whew, yes. Bédrick let out a long breath.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but his cynical temperament has been much more restrained. He wears a pair of delicate gold wire flat glasses and his hair is neatly combed.

Although the face is still the same face, it gives people more than a sense of earth-shattering. At first glance this morning, if it weren't for the guidance of the palace butler, Richard would not have recognized it.

In fact, it was not only him, but Béderick almost couldn't help but ask who this brother was. Regardless of the large and striking aperture on the back of his head, the Alpine Fort Lord has changed just as much.

Migrate qi and nourish the body. Or to put it in layman's terms, experience shapes a person's temperament.

In charge of the life and death of tens of thousands of people, worrying about the fate of all mankind, and competing with the ancient overlord Titans, all of this made Richard invisibly calm a lot, and Yuanyu Yuezhi had a faint sense of majesty.

As a child of the royal family, Béderick has seen and heard enough. As soon as he saw the aperture and the circular sigil on his forehead, he understood everything, and the thief smiled and asked him when he planned to marry Yeyu.

Richard then described in detail the whole process of his screwing.

Bédric paused for a long time and laughed, "Actually, I met Ms. Yeyu a few times when I was very young, and I still call her Auntie." It's a good thing you didn't make it, otherwise it would be a little weird for buddy to become an uncle. ”

"I don't know if the dragons she promised to support Pompeii are still counting. The lord whistled.

"After all, the undead are the common enemy of all life, and Lady Yeyu should not be stumbling in this regard. "But she must hate you." ”

"Don't talk about that. Richard grinned, "It's about to be crowned, how does it feel?"

"Don't mention it. Baderick took a deep breath, "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be king, especially at this time of disaster." But everyone told me that there was no escape. ”

"yes, eventful. "My lord, I don't know what to say.

The coronation was also a gathering of all parties, with a series of informal meetings already held in private.

It's a pity that he was about to face a terrifying enemy like the Evil Titan, and the imaginary situation of uniting and fighting the enemy did not appear at all.

He had just learned that Pompeii and San Jose had not yet reached a formal cooperation agreement despite a spatial rift at the border. is just a verbal agreement to help each other, and the effect is basically equivalent to a piece of paper.

According to the grapevine, this was at the behest of His Majesty Nero in San Jose.

Earlier, when he heard Buckland introduce the creation of the Academy of Magic, Richard thought that Nero might be a British master, but now he has decided that he is a pure fool, otherwise it is impossible to make mistakes on major issues of right and wrong.

To be honest, even Richard himself was a little disheartened in the face of this situation. A plate of scattered human beings, no matter how you look at it, can't be optimistic.

"Beware of those pointy-eared elven kingdoms. "Bederick pursed his lips in anguish, and it took a long time before he said, "They are desperately trying to win the recognition of the nations, but they are not willing to make any promises." Uncle Schmidt said that this behavior was not normal. ”

"And last year's grain harvest was poor, and even if the harvest is okay this year, the military food reserves will definitely be very tight. He spread his hands, "Report to me everywhere, but what can I do, San Jose doesn't want to export even a grain of grain now." ”

"Damn, you can only rely on yourself when it comes to landslides. The lord shook his fist viciously, and the rain curtain was stagnant, "I'll think of a way to deal with the military rations." Anyway, you can definitely eat it, so don't ask about the specifics. ”

Ever since he discovered that the Titans were plotting against this world, Richard had never reported any fantasies. It may seem like a bit of a fuss to others, but he is always ready to fight a world war!

It was a super-scale that has never been seen since the birth of human civilization!

All the so-called wars of the past were as ridiculous as a child's house. It is absolutely impossible to win this war with a small mountain fort alone, so it is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united as much as possible and look at the problem from a holistic perspective.

If there is really no way to integrate all intelligent life, at least Richard will never allow the collapse of Pompeii, which is his bottom line.

"What about the ordnance?" Bederick's eyes lit up, "I've heard that the Ordnance of Alpine Fort occasionally flows to the market, and it can fetch a sky-high price. ”

"I still have the second-hand bandit weapons seized in my storehouse, do you?" Richard gave him a disdainful look, "You should now proceed with the centralized registration of blacksmiths throughout the country, and even better to unify the training, integrate the high-quality minerals of the country, and establish a larger workshop." For the whole of Pompeii, a stable supply of a large number of qualified ordnance is far more meaningful than a few divine weapons. ”

"Do you think I don't want to?" Bédrick suddenly deflated, "It's too difficult to do this - high-quality minerals are owned by owners, and absolutely no one will be willing to give up such a big profit for nothing, if I really dare to forcibly nationalize them, the next day they dare to rebel or not? ”

"Hmph. The lord smiled meaningfully.

He knew, of course, that the ability of new systems to replace old ones often did not depend on whether they were more efficient or smarter. It depends on whether the new vested interests can overthrow the old people in the struggle.

This is why a polity or a state often behaves stupidly in the face of catastrophes.

"Don't be afraid to kill when necessary. Killing people now is so that they can save more people in the future. ”
