Chapter 325: Wangcheng
A small, old-looking old boat floated on the river, and in front of it was a large black fish with only a little body exposed, which was unique to Emmen's fish cart, similar to a horse-drawn cart on land.
Claudia, a majestic warrior, acted as a charioteer, moving steadily forward.
At Edward's suggestion, Earl Byrne and others abandoned the idea of using a horned eagle to transport the Poverty Ring directly from the air to the royal city.
The poverty ring is not yet mature, and even it does not have a fully solidified and materialized body, it still needs to absorb enough "poverty" in order to grow and solidify itself.
As a result, at Edward's suggestion, the Rooks, Earl Byrne, and others re-planned the route back to the royal city of Emmen, passing through as many towns as possible while maintaining speed.
The journey lasted for six days, and every day the owl carrying the letter went back and forth between the royal capital and the boat. At the same time, because of Edward's opinion, the poverty ring was constantly filled, and after six days, the poverty ring completely stabilized itself, and the ring began to quietly change from black to silver gray.
Along the way, Edward, one of the entourages who escorted the ring, saw a lot because he had to pass through as many towns as possible.
Emmen's truest condition was presented to Edward as it was.
After seeing so much, Edward only had one emotion, the ordinary people of Emmen are really bitter!
The drawings that the old nobles had brought out to protest against Edward and the Cult of Ancient Ya were not fake, they were all true. It really made Edward's heart ache even more, and at the same time, he became more and more disgusted with the great nobles of Emmen who did not want to make progress and were bent on their own ambitions and disregarded the people's livelihood.
"Emmen needs to change." Edward sighed as he looked back at the distant village, the last one before reaching the city of King Emmen.
However, although it is close to the royal city, this small village called "Moen", the villagers are still extremely poor, in Emmen, the resources are centralized and integrated and then divided equally according to the title and the size of the village and town, Emmen does not prosper trade, although there is a general equivalent of Emmen coins, but to be honest, Emmen coins are not very circulating, although it was promulgated by the kingdom, but when the time comes, Emmen coins of the same price are not as good as a piece of cloth.
Baron Ruka, who was sitting next to Edward and had been educated by his wife Claudia, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it does need to change, and Emmen has no future now." ”
Earl Byrne, who was sitting not far from Edward, frowned slightly, although his strength was weak, but Edward and Ruka's communication obviously did not hide it, and he lowered his voice and whispered about it, and the two were communicating brightly, and Earl Byrne naturally heard it.
"Your thoughts are wrong, you have to believe in the kingdom, believe in His Majesty, what we are practicing now is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Kingdom of Emmen for thousands of years, as long as there are gods, everything will be better in Emmen, you see, the poverty ring has appeared, which means that it is now the last dark time before the dawn of Emmen, and our plan will succeed!"
As a staunch supporter of the "Kingdom Project", Earl Byrne looked at Ruka, who had gone astray, and couldn't help but speak up.
Ruka, who has long been refreshed by his wife's three views, is naturally not something that Count Byrne can say and move with a casual persuasion, Ruka looked at Count Byrne calmly, and there was no fear of a lower nobleman seeing a superior nobleman in his eyes, he was very calm and even a little indifferent.
Ruka shook his head lightly and said, "Pin everything on a god who is still uncertain whether it will be born or not?" I'm sorry, but I'd rather believe in myself than believe in the unknown. ”
Claudia, who has seen far beyond ordinary people, has a lot to say to her husband Ruca, emphasizing that Emmen wants to "save herself" and completely pin her hopes on a god who is not sure if it will be born, which is stupid.
The people of Emmen have hands and feet, and they are decent human resources, and Emmen can't support so many people, so in the name of the kingdom, send a team of manpower to work in other kingdoms, so that some people can get rich first, and when these people return to Emmen, they will become rich with Emmen.
This is the most feasible plan for Claudia and Ruka to negotiate a strong country.
However, in general, this is the conjecture of the two, after all, they were once just a baroness, managing an ordinary small city of Emmen, with a low status and no right to speak, and they can only talk about the national policy when they are fine.
"Kaka, well said!"
Earl Byrne shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, Claudia's cheer came from the boat.
Hearing this, Count Byrne thought for a moment and then sighed and shook his head, the daughter of Count Stein, Claudia is a famous outlier in the kingdom, because of her own strength, according to rumors, even His Majesty the King has received Claudia, but even in the face of the king's persuasion, Claudia did not change her mind.
Claudia left the royal city after a deep conversation with the king.
According to rumors, Claudia even scolded the king.
One says the other is "unrepentant" and the other is "ignorant...... It's also thanks to Claudia that she's a talent, otherwise there would have been no such person in the kingdom for a long time, of course, this may also be related to the king's dogleg distress about the price of hiring a killer, for the Emmen Kingdom, Claudia is really strong!
Assassins and assassins charge very much, mercenaries are relatively cheap, and the mercenary circle is very large.
But, for Claudia, that's a different story.
In the mercenary circle, Claudia actually has a backstage, and her teacher and the mercenary group where her teacher belongs are her backstage.
Teacher Claudia's mercenary group is a well-known existence in the entire mercenary world, and almost all mercenary groups will sell each other a face, so naturally, no one wants to take on the black job of killing Claudia.
It is rumored that Claudia is a reserve member of the mercenary group, and her level is quite high, so once the matter of killing Claudia is found out, the mercenary group that takes over the black work will be in great trouble, and it is not impossible to be hunted down and killed directly on the blacklist of the other mercenary group!
Earl Byrne didn't bother to care about the pair of baroness with broken brains, he looked back at Edward behind him, and reminded: "Your Excellency Edward, the royal city is coming soon, and before that, I will ask you again, don't cast magic in the royal city." ”
Edward glanced at Earl Byrne, nodded lightly under the other party's gaze, and then smiled casually, and said, "Don't worry, I'm just here to have a look, you see, don't I even bring a single person, Dylan and Andre Those grumpy guys, I stayed in Jiaen Village, and I came to Wangcheng alone this time." ”
