"Humph!"

Fei Wenlie XVIII's face was gloomy and he could wring it out of the water, this is the minister he relied on, what is the difference between it and the village woman in the vegetable market?!

Henry. Rodriguez and Sexter. After hearing the cold snort of Fei Wenlie XVIII, Tucker was frightened into a cold sweat, the crime of losing honor in front of the emperor can be big or small, and both of them were uneasy to ask the emperor for their guilt.

Frevinel XVIII leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, for the first time he felt that he was indeed old, and his energy was not as good as when he was in his youth, although the territory of the Otiga Empire still existed, but like its monarch, it was also beginning to grow old and weak.

"Your Majesty, it's not like there's no way." Marquis Abbe suddenly said aloud.

"Huh? Abbe, what can you do? "Fiwenlie XVIII was in good spirits.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Emperor had the Heidelberg Agreement with the great lords, and the empire respected the lord's right to tax, mine and garrison in the territory, but when the empire was invaded, the lord must be sent by the empire to meet the invaders, otherwise the title and territory will be revoked." Marquis Abbe said slowly.

When the eighteenth Emperor Fei Wenlie heard this, his face immediately showed a look of disappointment.

The Heidelberg Agreement did exist in the "Heidelberg Agreement", which was rumored at the time to be "rich and rich, do not forget each other", but the royal family knew that this was a compromise that had to be made in order to gain the support of the major lords. In fact, it is now in name only.

Henry. Rodrigo Period and Sexter. Tucker also had a disapproving look on his face, if those great lords were willing to abide by the original agreement. Where could the empire be in such a predicament?

"Your Majesty, I know how the lords treated the Heidelberg Accords. But the reason why these lords do not abide by the agreement is nothing more than ambition and profit, and if induced in an appropriate way, I believe that most lords will be interested. Marquis Abbe said calmly.

"Induce? Tell me about it, Abe. Fivinel XVIII said thoughtfully.

"How? Knighthood or Domain? "Henry. Rodriguez scoffed.

"There's nothing wrong with that, you can adapt to the person. If they are really able to reclaim the land occupied by the orcs, they can add the tax rights to that land for a period of time, and they can collect it, or they can be knighted for their military exploits. If there is disobedience. Those who refuse to send troops. It will be levied by the nearby lords, and their territories can be divided......" Abbe talked eloquently, as if he was confident.

Fivinlie XVIII's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to think again. And the eyes of the other ministers are a little complicated...... It's a really powerful tactic.

The lords despised imperial power. Some are instigated by ambition. Some want to protect themselves, and some are simply wallgrass, and the royal family has always had no way to deal with them. It is also a lack of powerful means. But the invasion of the Orc Empire did provide an opportunity for the royal family to make a name for themselves, whether they obeyed or not, they had the opportunity to weaken the lord. Of course, once the major lords are required to send troops according to the "Heidelberg Agreement", there will definitely be people who respond, whether it is loyalty or not, the royal family will definitely not mind supporting a new group of lords, and those disobedient lords are definitely targets...... All in all, this approach did little damage to the royal family.

……

New year.

On the first day of January 910, the purple sun rose from the east as usual, with the heartiness of the morning.

Outside the window, on a tall pine tree, several small birds fell with their wings and chirped non-stop. Some of the servants and maids had already started their busy day, and several teams of guards from the lord's mansion began to take over their posts.

Compared to the bustle of the outside world, Hathaway's room was very quiet at this time.

Ilona was standing outside the door like a doorman, the window was closed, and Hathaway was sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, her face cross-legged, her hands on her lap, palms up.

With the fluctuation of some kind of power emanating from her body, points of light continued to converge from all around her, and then, turned into a flowing light body, surrounding her body, constantly flowing.

A toy-like dagger appeared in front of her, seemingly harmless, but exuding a palpitating aura, the dagger hovering in front of Hathaway, the blade of the sword began to redden...... Finally, it turned into a sword-shaped flame, although it was not large, the temperature was very high, and even the birds outside the window let out an uneasy chirp and flapped their wings and flew away.

But soon, the flames on the short sword gradually disappeared, and it became an ordinary black sword body again, but a cold air began to appear in the room again, and gradually, the short sword turned blue, and the cold in the layer became heavier, and even the ground and walls were covered with a layer of frost, but Hathaway himself and the bed he sat on were not affected in the slightest......

"Strange, what kind of magic are you practicing?"

Compared to those birds that can leave at any time, Ilona who is guarding outside the room is obviously much more uncomfortable, she first feels the heat unbearable, and then a burst of cold, the alternation of cold and heat makes her feel very uncomfortable, and she has to use her fighting energy to resist, and two layers of silver bucket rings light up outside her body.

Pressing Irona's watch, Hathaway continued to practice in the room, and the flying sword had turned cyan at this time, turning into a blue light, flying around Hathaway's body.

Yuanyang Five Elements Sword, this is the real swordsmanship in that secret book, and it is only an introductory swordsmanship, compared to Hathaway's own ability to turn the flying knife technique into a swordfight, this sword technique is much more mysterious, Rao is Hathaway has been enlightened for a long time, and it is just a sword technique that can be cultivated with fire, water, and wood, the three major attributes.

About an hour later, the flying sword suddenly sank into Hathaway's body, and she slowly opened her eyes, observing her body, a pensive look on her face.

It's been a few days since she returned to the Lord's Palace, and after dealing with the backlog of official duties, she prepares to head to Perseus Castle.

In fact, with her current prestige, it is no longer very important whether she stays in Perseus Castle or not.

First, there are not many nobles in the territory who are dissatisfied with her...... After two purges, no one dared to oppose her, at least on the surface.

The second is that the Cordillera led a large number of immigrants, the population increased, the number of immigrants was greater than the number of aborigines, and the standard of living was also improving day by day, in contrast, although Fort Perseus was a symbol of the lordship, but it was not very important at this time.

However, according to the veteran's speculation, this Perseus Castle is very likely to be related to a certain component of the fairy garden, and Hathaway is naturally very interested, if it were not for the first time to solve the problem of pirates, she would have started to act a long time ago. So in the past two days, although she has not broken through or built a new spell model, she is really recuperating and preparing for entering Perseus Castle. (To be continued......)
