Chapter 309 Whoosh
Shani wore a crimson velvet dress, which, according to Countess Marjory Hall, was able to bring good luck to an engaged woman. She held Midnight on her waist and gently stroked the cat's head with one hand, and said something in her mouth. With the kitten's purring gasps and Shanny's spell, Feige is summoned to both in a puff of smoke.
"You look so good in this dress. Feige knew he was coming back later than he was scheduled to return, and his strong survival instinct made his mouth feel like honey. "The main thing is that you are in good shape, and any kind of clothes can show extra beauty. If you have time, make me a dress that I can wear. So that I'll still be able to get my hands dirty when we show up together. ”
"Well, that's a good point, but hopefully you didn't learn this from the devil in hell. Shani held the cat up to Feiqi: "I was shaking all over my body for the first few days before midnight, and I didn't know what was going on, which made us very worried. ”
A few days ago, Feige took the black cat and scratched its little chin lightly, watching it squint in comfort. Midnight's soul is one with him, a few days ago it should have been the time when Feige transformed into a mind demon, and that time he advanced to become a high-level demon, and the soul fire was reorganized in strengthening, completely eliminating the hidden dangers left over from rebirth. The change in the soul also affects Midnight, which is probably the reason for its wailing.
"I look pretty healthy now, and I don't seem to worry. If something like this happens again, let's talk about it, it's no problem now. Feige said to Shani, "How are you doing these days?"
"Fortunately, the Countess came to see me every day. It is estimated that the queen's due date is approaching, and she is thinking about the child she will give birth to all day long, so she also urges me to get married and have children. She was a little unhappy that you weren't in the palace all day, and if she said a few words to you, you would have to listen with a good attitude. ”
"Thanks for the early warning. Fei Qi understands that not only is his mother not a little dissatisfied with his elusiveness, but perhaps Xia Ni feels the same way. "Hell is settled, and the fork in the road demon that has been bothering me has become a prisoner, and he can't make any waves. I've set up a teleportation array in Hell so that it will be easier to return later, and I won't need to stay there for a long time. I'm sure I'll be at the palace or at Summer's Manor during this time, and I'll be with you every night. ”
"I take your word for it, but I also need to pray that not too many emergencies don't happen to you. Xia Ni sighed, and then said, "But my plan to stay in the capital may not come true. His Majesty the King is ready to send you to the front. ”
On the front line, who are you fighting again? Feige hopes that it is the nobles who are in rebellion in the territory or the separatist forces in the name of restoration in the territory of Feinberg. The more these nobles popped up, the larger the area under the direct administration of the king after the fight, and the more centralized power became. Even if it were all used to grow potatoes, it would be better than a plate of loose sand.
"It's the lighthouse leader, and the king ordered the preparations for war. ”
As soon as Xia Ni said this, Fei Qi immediately understood, it turned out that it was still for the church's exemplary leadership. "Is there an attitude on the side of the Holy Three Castle? did you reject my proposal to become a lord?"
"You should ask the details when you meet His Majesty the King, I can't inquire about the situation of the Imperial Council for you. Shani walked next to Feige and said, "Nothing but the lighthouse collar. The School of Magic and the Knights of Hell are doing well, and they are training under the leadership of Tron while repairing the school building and grounds. I asked Sam Janji to train with him, and whether or not he became a Knight of Hell, it was always good to learn more. It's just that he complained that his feet were rotten after running all day. ”
"Hurt my foot? I'll go to Andrew first, and then ...... Forget it, this is a harvest horn, I'll give it to you directly. The drink served with it has the effect of healing physical injuries, and it is more cost-effective to use it for minor or minor injuries than to ask a priest for treatment. ”
"Feige, why is this good thing in hell? Shouldn't it be that the Church of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder is better at treating this kind of thing?"
"Just because a goddess is good doesn't mean the church is good at it. Okay, to the Red Tower, I'm going to find Andrew. Wherever he sends me, I'll come to you in a moment. You take Midnight with me, and I'll know where you are. ”
Shani snorted, her fingers sliding lightly over Feiqi's arm, and slowly walked away. Midnight obediently followed her, and after taking two steps, he looked back at Feiqi, as if to ask him to hurry to finish his work and find him.
This cat is really good. Feige watched as Shane walked to the end of the hallway and waved her hand as she turned, allowing the waiter to lead him to the king's study.
Andrew liked to meet the minister in his study, so it was cleaned up concisely and cleanly, with a rich smell of smoke mixed with a faint scent of ink. The incense here comes from the Holy Three Castle and is said to have the power to ward off evil. This may be true, because Feige doesn't like the smell of the smoke.
"Is it okay to open the windows often to let in the air? The smell of smoke is great, and there is not a single one of the ministers who come here who does not wear perfume. The only good thing here is that it can make the best hunting dogs spin. ”
Andrew looked up from the pile of letters and smiled at Feige. "As soon as you hear this kind of thing for the king to do this and that, then it must be you. The other ministers either didn't say anything, or only praised the rich aroma. He shook the bell at his hand and told the servant to open the window to breathe. "The smell has a refreshing effect and I don't feel so sleepy. You know, I didn't like to read these words since I was a child. If you come and take a look at the font, it looks really beautiful, but you need to keep your eyes open to know what's written in it. ”
"I'll see. Fitch walked past two rows of empty soft couches to Andrew's oak desk, and took a letter from him that smelled faintly scented of flowers. "It's not easy to practice Shure fonts to this extent. As for what is written in it...... It is roughly a change of flowers to wish the prince or princess a smooth birth, good health, long live the king, and so on. ”
"Alas, this is basically the content of the letters nowadays, and everyone thinks that their words are novel, but in fact they are all repetitive. However, this is the heart of the nobles everywhere, and we can't ignore it. Andrew patted the thick stack of letters on the left side of his desk: "Look, there are so many more." I need to spend a lot of time every day working on letters. ”
"It's not going to go on like this, and we need to make a change. Feige and the other servants opened the window, took a hard breath of the autumn breeze blowing in from outside, and slowly exhaled it. "You are the king, just give the order. ”
"What kind of order? Do you want them to send letters? Then the nobles will have to blow up the nest, and it is estimated that all of them will come to the palace to meet me, and the long queue outside the study is much more troublesome than these letters. ”
"You ask them to report important things in plain language, control the length of the report, and tell them that the simpler and more readable the letter will come first. Greetings' credit is also enveloped and will only be processed after reading the important events. Penalties are imposed for the wrong use of font, length, and letters, and the number of errors tolerated varies from title to title. In short, it is necessary to avoid this kind of fatigue and attrition tactics for the king. ”
"This method is feasible, I will ask the legal counsel, Count Matt, to consult and issue a detailed decree to send it. Andrew waved his hand to let the servants out, but was stopped by Feige.
"Don't worry, get me something to eat, I haven't eaten in almost a week. Don't care about the hot or cold, just eat enough and take more. Feige then sat down across from Andrew, "Don't mind, I'm really hungry." Nothing in this world is more important than surviving with a full stomach. ”
"What are you talking about, still thinking about growing potatoes?" Andrew frowned slightly, and put his finger on his temple and said, "Eddie has planted a lot of it, but it's not much worse than when he was in Minas Ithil. After all, the United Kingdom is a place where kings and nobles govern together, and even good things cannot be forced too much. But when we see the harvest, next year will definitely be fine. ”
"Disobedient aristocrats are a burden, and those who don't grow potatoes well are either disloyal or incompetent. ”
"I can't say that, I'm the new king, and they have to have a process of adaptation. And it's understandable that when faced with new things, some are conservative and hesitant, and some things are not done well. Andrew smiled and persuaded, "There's nothing wrong with your kind of request being put on the battlefield and used to manage paladins, but you can't treat nobles like that." ”
"Well, growing potatoes is not the same as war, you're right. Oh, my food is coming. ”
The servants who could serve by the king's side were very discerning. It was clear that the king wanted to talk to the Wizard Advisor about something important and didn't want anyone else to be present. At this time, it is necessary to prepare the food as quickly as possible, and then disappear as quickly as possible, and the king must not be allowed to wait too long. In a hurry, the servants could only bring ready-made things, such as bread, cheese, wine, olive oil, ham, sausages, and some fresh berries. Feige glanced at it, expressed satisfaction, and asked them all to step down.
"You're going to talk about the lighthouse collar, right? You say, I'll process the food first. Fitch cuts the ham with a knife, lights a flame in the palm of his hand, and prepares to stuff it into slices of bread and add other toppings to make a simple sandwich. "You say!"
"Prepare a few for me too - your hands won't burn out, will they?" Andrew cleared his throat after ordering food, "You guessed right, the United Kingdom's relationship with the church is getting more and more strained because of the Lighthouse Collar affair. According to the information that Mercers received from there, it is very likely that Archbishop Don de Mipp will choose to be tough. So according to our original plan, we had to prepare for war before the church. Oh, can't you put an extra slice of ham? Don't be so stingy. ”
"Then you're in charge of cutting. Don't you have a metal plate here? Hehe, this silver tray for tea sets is good, although it is not as good as an iron plate, but it is better than the palm of your hand. Fitch heated the tray with a magic flame, fried the fat ham with oil, and began to heat the sausage. Served with wine and white bread dipped in olive oil, the King's Study became a dining room.
"This time the front line is led by my father, and you go to help him deal with spell-related matters. He asked you to set up a teleportation station for him and solve the problem of logistical supply. He arranged this job, and I didn't want you to make this trip. Andrew swallowed the contents of his mouth, rinsed it with wine, and said, "Since I don't know when the confrontation will end, and I have to listen to my father's command when I go there, I know you don't like that atmosphere." I'll find a reason to call you back every once in a while to meet with Shanny, how about that?"
"Not very good. Why don't you call the Count back to meet the Countess?" Feige rolled his eyes, "You better not give your father such a mistake that can be seen through at a glance, and then the training will not outweigh the loss." ”
"Oh, there's a risk. So you're not going to come back halfway?"
"Do I need to figure out how to come back if I want to come back?" Feige blinked, "I can come back with a whoosh, and no one will find out." Before I go, I have to ask: under what circumstances can I get into a fight with the church?"
"Don't take the initiative to fight with the church under any circumstances, the whole action is a pressure. Feige, you come up with this plan, you know what the end goal is, don't really make it into a war. Cardinal ......"
In an instant, Andrew remembered the Holy Three Castle again, where he learned to become a paladin. At that time, the grace of the goddess shone on the white dome of the castle, and everyone was bathed in the light of justice and honor. At that time, Andrew had no doubts in his heart, only a firm conviction, and he felt that every command of the church was exactly what he wanted, and every action made him fully feel that his wish was being fulfilled.
"What Don Miep did may have been necessary, but it wasn't right – and I did. Andrew shook his head, "Feige, if they have to be a lighthouse leader, then ......"
"If you lose your Lighthouse Territory, you're likely to face frequent rebellions everywhere, especially in the Feinberg area. Feige interrupted Andrew's words and said directly: "Even if we can't predict the future, rebellion and division are not a sure thing, but I can always say that this time the cardinal has no reason to lead the lighthouse back." Because it's wrong, it's not reasonable, that's what follows. You can not want interests, but can you not be reasonable? Andrew, my father is on the front line, and there are many soldiers on the front line, you must not be cowardly in the back!"
"I'm just trying to fix this matter as little as possible. Andrew tapped the table lightly with his fist: "I told my father that the front line was handed over to him, and if something urgent happened it was under his command." Feiqi, you are observant and have many means, you help me go to the front line and watch, don't let people use spells or other methods to intensify the contradictions between the two sides in the direction of war. ”
"Oh, I see, my main job is to prevent people from sowing discord and fishing in troubled waters. Feiqi nodded: "Okay, I'll do this next." But you also have to be careful, the easiest place to provoke is not the front, but the court. ”
"Aren't you able to come back with a whoosh? You're so capable, both sides are watching!"
Fei Qi narrowed his eyes, his lips were shriveled, and said, "I didn't expect you to be good at digging pits!"
