"The rabbits of the Harwyns are not tasty, they are far worse than what you do. I don't know what spices he put in it, and I'm still uncomfortable. Feige rubbed his stomach and frowned at Shanny.

"I deserve a stomachache!" Xia Ni said angrily, "I got up in the morning, read Maxhers's secret report, and teleported away without saying a word, which scared me a lot. Not only that, but you're also eating outside. How do you know there's no poison in that food?"

"Am I poisoned......? When you say that, I feel a bit like poisoning. Feiqi rubbed his stomach, then took out the emblem of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder from his pocket, and used the magic runes to cast a spell to dispel poison. Ever since he had placed the Pit Excalibur on the Iron Throne, he had carried this golden emblem with him in place of the one on the hilt of the Excalibur when performing the Priest's Divine Spell.

"Hey, it's really poisoned! If I want to use a human body, I guess I'm already dead by this time!" Fei Qi cast several spells and paid a large mouthful of blood before vomiting out a mass of green and yellow things. His abdominal pain was immediately relieved and completely disappeared after a minute. "Who, when, and by what means did this poison? Damn it, how did you hide it from me?"

"If it's magical, I don't think anyone can hide it from you. But you are not an assassin with poison, if you don't understand or know, you naturally can't guard against it. "Shani called the guards and summoned the palace physicians to dispose of the filth in the house. "You're fine when you go out in the morning, but you start to feel bad as soon as you come back at noon. Since you don't have any wounds on your body, what did you eat in the morning?"

"Cookies in Harwin's room, a glass of wine from their estate, and a roast rabbit. I guess it's a rabbit!"

"Could it be that someone quickly poisoned me as I walked towards the rabbit?" Feige recalled, still in disbelief.

"In the future, you still have to take the guards and doctors with you when you go out, and follow the rules of the court. Although those rules are a bit cumbersome, after all, they were summed up after many deaths and injuries of rulers and their families, and there is wisdom in them. Besides, most of the tedious stuff falls on your guards, you just need to take them with you. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Feige nodded, picked up his cup and took a sip of water. The cool water slid down my throat and I felt much better than before.

Shani sighed. If it was the previous Feiqi, if he promised to do something, then Xia Ni was completely relieved. But now, as Fei Qi put more and more effort into the matter of unifying the entire Yongli Continent, he became more and more disobedient. That is, the day before yesterday, the Inner Court had just finished a meeting to assess and summarize the management pressure of the various working groups after the beginning of spring, and concluded that the pace of expansion of the empire must be temporarily stopped, at least until the autumn is unable to add new territories. Feige agreed at the meeting, but two days later he had a large city in his pocket.

Fortunately, this time it was merged through negotiations, and there was no war, and the impact was not bad, so Xia Ni did not criticize him. It is estimated that Feige didn't want Xia Ni to criticize him, so he consciously showed her the conditional surrender letter of the Harwin family, and especially pointed out the article in it that "the Magic Empire will complete the reception after the fall", defending that he did not violate the promise made at the inner court meeting. But Xia Ni knew very well in her heart that once she started looking for reasons and loopholes, she was ready to speak. With Feige's ingenuity, he could figure out the back door if he wanted to play with words.

"I've been poisoned this time, do you want to tell the Harwyn family?" said Feiqi, gargling with water again.

Was it to make the Harwyns pay? Shannie thought for a moment, and felt that this didn't quite fit Feige's style. "Are you worried about anything?"

"Harwyn is a good role model, and I'm worried that he will be used as a flag by those who oppose me. When he announced his surrender, he was bound to be the target of public criticism, and I warned him, but this poisoned guy was unsettling. How about sending a messenger to tell him to be careful?

Xia Ni shook her head: "Let's not talk about it." On the one hand, it is not clear who exactly poisoned it, and the Halwyns have not escaped suspicion. On the other hand, admitting that you are poisoned will affect your image as strong and invincible. This flaw that you have managed to reveal will attract a large number of Assassins. On the contrary, if you don't have anything, it's better from a security point of view. ”

"Well, I listen to you. But write a letter to Harwyn and tell him to be aware of the possible mishaps during the transition. By the way, urge him to send his three sons to Tawu Harbor City as soon as possible, so that he can catch up with the expansion training of the Hell Knights. ”

"The Knights of Hell are going to expand? I remember you weren't going to let them fight in the Second World?"

Feiqi nodded and explained to Xia Ni: "The Hell Knights are used to maintain the stability of the empire, and with the help of the teleportation array, they can strike at any location at any time and deal with all kinds of rebellions, so they must be few and fine. Battles in the Second World require ordinary warriors, even cannon fodder, but these warriors can also be trained by the Knights of Hell. Those who perform well stay to continue their training and complete the entire Hell Knight course. Those who are average, teach them how to understand orders and cooperate with each other, plus use some redressed magic guns, are enough to deal with the battles in the second world. ”

"Feige, I can't understand your arrangement. I always felt like you had other plans and plans that I didn't want to tell. Xia Ni narrowed her eyes and stared at Feiqi like a snake, "You don't want to tell me, do you want me to guess?"

Feige waved his hand, but said nothing. He didn't want to deceive Shani, so he could only build a wall with silence or quickly move the conversation to something else. But there is indeed a problem with such a method that can only be done, how could someone as sensitive as Xia Ni not find out. Even if you cover your ears and steal the bell, you have to steal when you need to steal, as long as you don't make a sound, so what does it matter if you block your ears?

Of course, this is just a quibble, but it is the only way for Feige to do it at the moment. He hid his real plans, ostensibly being a strong man who wanted to unify the world every day, handling external affairs in an aggressive way, and then constantly urging to strengthen domestic construction. The profits from the toy wands, the income from the Hell's Devil's Light Cannon are constantly being transferred to the mortal world, and the Levi Magic Empire is like a stimulant, coupled with Feige's constant whipping, and the production machines except for farming are starting to run at high speed.

The way the working group went directly to the countryside allowed Feiqi's power to reach down to the lowest level, and the teleportation array ensured that all kinds of material and manpower support could be quickly put in place, which allowed the empire to achieve unprecedented political governance efficiency. There are certainly pros and cons to this largely non-hierarchical approach, as with all other forms of governance, such as the fact that many trivial things that can't be solved at the working group level will come to the center of the empire, which will involve a lot of energy. But at the national level, it is not about whether it can be done the best, but "better" is very sufficient.

In the transition from farming to the magical industry, much of the day-to-day business is still in the countryside, right before the team's eyes. These things tend to have a peculiarity: they arise with the agricultural production cycle, and they also affect this long cycle in quarters and years, so they are not so urgent. Don't think that the lords, nobles, and knights of the past knew much about agricultural production, and their annual obligations were focused on fighting, and the affairs of the fields were almost solved by the farmers at the village level. The working group did a good job of reassuring, coordinating and calling for help in a timely manner in the fight against bandits, and the rest was not a big deal.

The magic industry is where new and troublesome things are constantly popping up, but fortunately this part is very concentrated. The industrial park adjacent to Tawu Harbor City is home to all the workshops related to magic production, and Feiqi and the Inner Court can directly manage them. Since the scale wasn't large enough, Feige's experience—including knowledge from the devil—helped a lot.

With this confidence, Feige's "Conscription Order for the Scarlet Meteor" has a greater effect - although there are still few responders, all kinds of reprimand letters are piled up in the room. This was already expected by Feige, and he just wanted everyone to think that his greatest hobby was to conquer the world, and let everyone build the ten magic towers along the Sunset Mountains as soon as possible in the time when everyone was afraid to be a bird because of his fighting power. Now let him attack those territories, and there is no problem in defeating them, but he really doesn't have rich management skills.

Cultivating managerial talent, like any talent, requires time, effort, population, and a lot of expense. The Empire's treasury has been overloaded and human resources have been tapped to the limit. The former can still survive on the devil's robbery, but the latter ......

The former principalities have been fighting for years, and so has Feinberg, so the current Levi Magic Empire is far inferior to those places where large-scale and prolonged battles have not taken place in terms of population and territory. For those people, Feige is also greedy, but the more greedy he is, the less impulsive he is. Although he can control the losses on the battlefield and win with his strong combat power, if he can't keep up with enough management skills, chaos will kill people.

Speaking of people, there was one thing that made Feige half angry. Harwyn agreed to send his three sons to Feige for training with the Knights of Hell, but only one of them came, and the other two were dragged to the Holy Three Castle halfway through. Fei Qi could see that the eldest son who came actually wanted to go to the Holy Three Castle in his heart, and the "Holy Hunters" over there were also recruiting new people, who could not only learn skills, but also learn divine arts at the same time, and also had corresponding levels in the church. It's just that if the three of them all go to the Holy Three Castle, then Stone Tower Town will definitely be leveled by Feiqi, so the eldest son, who is older, still decides to come over. He failed to bring his two younger brothers out under the rhetorical circumstances of the Priest of the Word and the Paladin, and he thought that he had come alone, how could it be regarded as an explanation.

He definitely couldn't tell Feige about this if he didn't persuade him, he only said that he was drunk, and then the three of them separated, and he barely escaped. This is not the first person to try to lie in front of Feige, but he is the first to be fully dressed, ruddy-faced, and imposing, and to say that he "struggled, struggled, and finally escaped".

"Write a letter to the archbishop and say that he is influencing my agreement with the Earl of Harwyn to send the two young men who had been drunk and taken away. Tell him clearly that the agreement will affect the fate of the Harwin family, and let him take back his outstretched hand for the sake of human life. A copy of the letter was also sent to the Earl of Harwin. Feige glanced at the young man standing in front of him, who was younger than himself and was already responsible for his words and actions. "Write down all the rhetoric they have drunk you with, remember as much as you want, sign your name and attach it to the letter. ”

Sam said yes, and then asked, "Your Majesty, what if the church says there are no two people?"

"I believe in the church, and if they say no, it probably doesn't. Feiqi changed his tone and said, "It is very likely that someone pretended to be a member of the church to carry out a kidnapping, and it was possible in the territory along the way. Send a group letter, it doesn't matter if there are dozens or hundreds, just tell them that if there are these two people, they will hand them over for the sake of the beloved son of Earl Harwin, so as not to affect the relationship between the empire and Harwin. Hundreds, if not thousands, of human lives, this is no joke. ”

Now the most anxious person should be Harwin, but he is not innocent, who told him that he can't control his own son? After enjoying the benefits, he must take responsibility, and he can run away with the people of the church, and leave an empire and his family aside, it is impossible to have no cause and effect. Feige wondered if the church "lobbyists" were using some kind of spell or something, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy.

Or, Harwyn knew about these things for a long time, and even single-handedly arranged everything, including poisoning. Although this idea has not been confirmed, it still takes root in Feige's heart, and from time to time he jumps out to show his presence.

Fortunately, Feige's sanity was not lost, he knew that these means that could not be put on the table jumped out now, and will continue to jump out in the future, and even more and more frequently, and the fundamental reason is that they have no means to put on the table. In the case of not being able to fight and not daring to fight hard, the economic blockade blockade, the political trouble, the use of rumors to ruin the image of the empire, plus the use of Feiqi's name to intimidate his own people and allies, in order to collect more money...... What else do they have to do?

As long as they join forces and drag the pastors of the church, they choose to die a slow death — another possibly a quick death. After the Empire's swing to the limit, the situation is now stable, so Feige focuses more on the Magic Tower and the Devil's Fortress in the Second World. Yaka was already arranging an attack on one of the fortresses of the Divine Crystal, and she had already made feints against several others to conceal her direct pursuit of the Divine Crystal. She has secretly amassed a large number of troops, and infiltration and reconnaissance are already underway, just waiting for the best time.

The devil's plan is well underway, and this is the perfect time for the "good guys" to come and cause trouble. As Feige sets his sights and energies on the Empire and the Second World, a team of three infiltrates Hell and gradually approaches his territory. They are made up of good and powerful mages, strong and powerful warlocks, and strong and good rangers.

None of the three Fei Qi knew or heard of them, but the old man was no stranger to them.
