"It's not easy, you finally changed the color of your pet, and it's no longer pitch black. With a smile and a relaxed step, Shani entered through the garden entrance. "What kind of creature is this? If it's a dragon, it's too big, right?"

"It's not a pet, it's a child. Little Kim, whose full name is Kim Malygos. It has you and my bloodline traits in its body, plus I used magic to awaken his dragon energy. According to the habit of the dragons, since his first breath of energy and the last energy stimulation of birth came from me, he is my child, our child. Once again, Feige grabbed the dragon's wings with one hand, lifted him "shamelessly", and carried him to Shani. "At the moment he just has a first name, not a surname yet. When you decide on your mother's surname, pass that surname on to him. ”

"Our kids? That's great! But why keep my last name instead of your last name, Hall? Surprised and surprised, Xia Ni gently hugged the little dragon and held him in her arms like a reflex. The little golden dragon sniffed, probably smelling the smell of dragon blood, then curled up and closed his eyes comfortably.

"There's a lot of noise in the court, they're talking about the heir to the empire. It would be a complete waste of time to discuss this at this time, and if this dragon took Hall's last name, they would think that I was going to have this dragon as an heir. Considering the infinite lifespan of dragons, those people would have to go crazy, and it would take some of my energy. They are just blind and refuse to accept the fact that I also have an infinite lifespan. ”

"Your dragon form was very majestic just now! if you show them, you guess you'll die, right?"

"It's not a good thing for me to really die. Fei Qi glanced at Xiao Jin, and then told Xia Ni to be careful, especially to let Xiao Long understand how to control his power, and not to accidentally tear down the castle. The little dragon was pretending to hear it, turned over and yawned very unseemly, and kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep until the servant brought the food.

"First of all, he will be taught to read and control his own powers, and then he will learn magic runes. Feiqi touched the scales of the little dragon, and on the other side Xia Ni was tearing open the pieces of flesh and feeding them to the dragon one by one. "Xia Ni, learning magic is the only way for him to grow, don't relax, don't be deceived by his cute behavior. ”

"Giggles, he's licking my fingers, it's so itchy!" "Shani was having a good time, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Dragons live extremely long lives, and will not die of natural causes unless they encounter elemental dryness – or in the case of Golden's special case: the depletion of magic. Although the newborn dragon can speak, it is completely small and should focus on play first. This is what Shani longed for most when she spent her childhood on Elven Island.

When Feige saw this scene, he didn't understand the reason. He could have forced Xia Ni to agree, but there was really no need to be so nervous. The golden dragon egg is just a spice in Feiqi's life and not the core, and it is also not a key step in the plan to save the Yongli Continent, Xia Ni can deal with it however she wants, at most she feels a little pity for the little golden dragon. After all, once you develop a playful personality, it is too difficult to change it back.

"One more note: don't take Jin Jin to Alyssa until he is 20 meters long. She has the ability to turn Jin back into an ordinary golden dragon, and at the same time remove the kinship between the two of us and Jin. ”

"Would she do that?" said Shani, who immediately became alarmed.

Feige nodded: "Possibly." On the one hand, you can't underestimate the dragon's pursuit of the purity of their bloodline, and on the other hand, you have to consider her experience. In the case of being mutated and used for so many experiments, it is very likely that Alyssa pursues the ultimate in this regard, so there are some compulsive actions. ”

"Wait, what about the dragon egg she laid with Andrew?

"Yes, three dragons, indeed, but they are born with Andrew as their father. What has Alyssa been doing lately, do you know what?"

According to the letter, she was busy hatching eggs and rarely showed up every day, and it was basically Andrew who went to see her. ”

"That's good. As long as she wants to hatch the dragon eggs as soon as possible, she really likes Andrew. Feige nodded, and continued to talk about it. Xiao Jin on the side had a large piece of meat steak in his mouth, and he tilted his head slightly to secretly observe their expressions, like a child with a mind full of ghost ideas.

"Don't just eat and play, you little dragon," Feige held out his hand and placed it behind the dragon's ear, stroking the scales and muscles of that piece would make the dragon very comfortable. "You have to learn to protect your mother. If she can't fly, you take her to fly, and if someone comes to hurt her, you hurt the bad guy. You can go to my study to check out those books about magic and runes, and if you don't understand anything, you can also ask the black cat. Do you see it? It's hidden under the flowers over there. ”

Feige keeps his black cat pet protective of Shanny, who always habitually hides in the shadows or sheltered places, waiting for Shani to call. Whenever someone feels hostile to Shani, the black cat will appear, and Shani will pick it up, which happens from time to time when Shani is receiving some guests. Everyone thought it was Her Majesty's cat, but they didn't know that the cat could summon Feiqi and borrow Feiqi's mana to cast spells.

The black cat's hidden abilities are of little use to a dragon, and Kim can feel the slightest vibration while "hearing" the sound of energy fluctuations, so it is impossible to deceive the dragon's senses, whether visible or intangible. He stared at the cat, the cat stared at him, and the two creatures quickly separated from each other. Xiao Jin found out that he was relegated again, so he tried to bite the meat steak twice to vent some frustrated little emotions.

"Feige, am I thinking too much or do you really mean this: are you going to be away from me and Kim for a while?"

"Yes, I'm ready to do it in the Second World, a decisive battle that can decide the course of the situation. If this decisive battle is won, then there will not be a battle of the same scale and danger for a long time in the future, and the hope of Yongli Continent's salvation will also be increased by fifty percent. Feige knew that Shanny would be very worried, so he reached out and held her. "I need to completely concentrate on the preparation for this battle, this side of the Yongli Continent, the most important thing is you, I can only put it down for the time being. You are very important in my heart, and you can change my mind and my focus on the goal whenever you want to. ”

"How sure are you that you will win this battle?"

"The odds are all fake, and they can be manipulated. I can't say the odds right now, because that kind of behavior can change the odds and affect the direction of the situation. Feige licked his lips and gently squeezed Shani's hand. "There was no chance, I would have won. ”

Xia Ni took a deep breath, sank to the bottom of her lungs, and slowly exhaled. "Well, I believe that you will win, and I will also pray to the Goddess of Truth Thunder to fight for your victory. Well...... If you want to devote yourself to the decisive battle, do you have to deal with the emperor's work, so that you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Yes, I have three days to deal with the backlog, and after that it's all up to you. Feige blinked, looking like he was thinking, but he was just saying what he was ready to say. "Inform the ministers today, and tomorrow we will have a meeting to deal with the felons of this year. Beheading and pardoning are the power of the king. ”

Xia Ni nodded: "That's true, it won't be good if those prisoners are delayed until next year." ”

Spring, summer, autumn and winter cycle through four seasons, and the winter of slaughter is the last season suitable for execution before the arrival of the hopeful spring. On a day when people were reluctant to go out on the streets, Fitch brought up the condemned prisoners considered by the working group and the Inner Court, fed them, and then stood in the cold wind and waited. He first had to complete the communication with the important ministers, determine the main work for the next year, at least the focus of the work in the spring and summer, and then deal with the prisoners.

"The ten magic towers were completed ahead of schedule, saving the treasury a lot of money. "Treasurer Goode looks a lot older, he needs to hunch over when he speaks, and his breath is not very good. "Your Majesty, if this money is used for spring ploughing, then ......"

"No, there is enough input for spring ploughing, and I see that the input for seeds, farming tools and cattle has doubled. While it's okay to continue to invest more, the results won't be so good. Feige stepped down from the towering Iron Throne and walked over to Goode, holding out his hand on his back. "The important thing now is actually this. ”

Mana flowed from his palm and into Goode's body through his skin. The shape-shifting spell gave the old man a temporary troll-like rejuvenation, and his aging bones and scarred organs quickly recovered. In just a moment, Goode slowly straightened up, his chest straightened, and he spoke with more confidence. He took Feige's hand in both hands, kissed and thanked him.

"No, I'm just making you healthier, but I can't live longer. Magic can prolong life, but this kind of magic can only be used by one's own soul to act on the body, and it is useless to rely on others to cast it. Feige patted Goode lightly, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "So, in the Empire, the most important thing is magic. Once I have a balance, half of it goes to the magic school, and the other half goes into my magic tower. In next year's example, all of them will be invested in the Magic Tower, and it will be built as soon as possible. ”

Gude had to nod, originally this money was "saved" by the emperor, and the emperor should have the final say on how to use it.

"Your Majesty, I have another solution to increase investment in farmland. Thunder Bai unexpectedly raised his hand and said with a proud smile: "Your Majesty, the Magic Research Society has completed the construction of the Type 7 Peasant War Golem, it has fully met the design expectations, and the cost is very low, it is ......"

"Wait a minute, is the Golem you talking about the same potato Golem you used to show me?"

"Yes, the Potato Golem is Type 1, we have continued to improve it, and now it is Type 7, which is very useful. ”

I have to say that Fei Qi wants to applaud Thunder Bai's unremitting perseverance, the dirt golem that can grow potatoes on his body, the idea is very strange, and the technology is very difficult to implement. Feige would rather she design something like a magic tractor than spend time on a golem. "How much does a golem cost, and how many cows are working at work?"

"Four thousand gold coins a piece, much stronger than a cow. Well, the nature of their work is not the same, and it's not very easy to compare. ”

"The magic ...... of four thousand gold coins Can it still be called a golem, it's a toy. You don't really make a toy, do you?" Feiqi's mouth turned up slightly, and everyone knew it was a smile.

"Of course not, the Type 7 Farming War Golem is a very good ......"

"It doesn't matter. Feige waved his hand. "Four hundred thousand gold coins, as a special investment, whether you go to make or continue research, the Golem project is so much funded. You have to find a way to earn money and feed the project. Breaking even is the minimum requirement. Moreover, the most important work of the Magic Workshop and the Magic Research Society is still my Magic Tower. ”

"It's still a little little, but it's enough to get started. I believe that as long as we make achievements, Your Majesty will continue to invest more. Thunder White was obviously happy, and when he smiled, he showed more than eight teeth. "Your Majesty, since you paid for it, do you want to name the golem?"

"The Potato Golem is pretty good. The name of your Peasant War Golem is really awkward, it gives people the feeling of an agricultural military golem. I'm not very optimistic about the strength of your Golem, after all, it only costs 4,000, so let's call it a Potato Golem. ”

"That's the potato golem!" Thunder White didn't care what the name was, she only cared if she could complete the project.

There are many trivial things in the empire, but the economy and society of the empire as a whole are still not developed enough to accumulate to the point where change is about to occur, so "following the old system/tradition/habit" can solve most of the problems. Feige's main task was to put the Empire's resources into promising magical endeavors, rather than staying in the inefficient feudal agriculture and castle construction that had lost its historical status.

In the past, both kings and nobles could only vigorously loot peasants who had little oil and water, which made it difficult to develop basic agriculture. Coupled with the fact that they threw most of their already small money into castles, armour, weapons, horses, and knights, the whole society was in a cycle of inefficiency. After Feige appeared, the castle, armor and weapons, horses, and knights were all eliminated, and he was willing to spend money to improve the basic production, so now the overall efficiency has been continuously improved, and it can already support the newly created Golem manufacturing industry of Thunder White.

It's a kind of progress that Feige is happy about, so even if Thunder makes a toy, Feige will support it. At the same time, there will always be people who stand still outside of progress, and some who will even regress, and these will also need to be dealt with. The prisoners who stand outside waiting for the end are.

After the meeting of the inner court, Feige took everyone to see the prisoners. As in previous years, he personally asked each prisoner if he had really sinned and regretted it, and then observed the fluctuations in their souls. Although this is still a very subjective way of judging, in the imperial system, the emperor is the highest justice.

Three were pardoned for death, two of them remanded for a new trial, and the other was not punished by death and was detained and atoned for by labor. The remaining twelve were not guillotined, and Feige stopped the escort. When those people thought they were spared death, Feige said with a smile in a cold voice.

"Dig a long, shallow pit, I'm a little cold, light a fire. ”
