Chapter 2: The Disposition of Nicholas
Speaker Nicholas looked satisfied.
"The city of pure white is ruined, so it's ...... Don't be the capital anymore! Nicholas said, "Rebuild the White City into a new autonomous city." When Errios was founded, the pure white city of 'Thales' was the economic and cultural capital, and the 'Empedocles' was the political capital, and it also opened up a half-plane for the legendary mages in Empedocles. How's it going? ”
"I'm very sorry," the Lord of the Cloud Wing said in a deep voice, "I just surveyed the 'Empedocles' half-plane, and there...... It's already burned! Although the half-plane itself was not damaged, most of the magic items and all the scrolls and files were burned! ”
"Who is it?"
"Based on the current situation, there is a more than ninety percent chance that it was the 'Lord of the Fog' who did it." The Lord of the Cloud Wing said respectfully.
"Fog ......" Nicholas had a faint evil aura in his eyes.
Lord of the Mist, the oldest legendary mage in Elrios, did not come to the White City. It is rumored that she has been "quietly waiting for her death", and even one more legendary spell will put her life in danger. But this time, Mist, who had always acted mysteriously, made his own judgment, and at the same time as Okad invaded the White City, he entered the half-plane of the legends, and transferred all the remaining treasures of Elrios, and destroyed everything that could not be transferred.
In this way, even if Okad captures Elrios, he will not be able to grasp the deepest secrets of Elrios' spell-casting art.
"List the Fog Hidden as a wanted criminal for Okad and New Errios," Nicholas instructed, "for the same crime as Friedrich of the Empire." ”
"Yes." Mr. Kim replied.
"Sham, Empedocles is just a small town, and you can rebuild the new city in that town as the only capital of Elrios, and the operation of the half-plane must be restored," Nicholas said, "and I Okad will contribute to the reconstruction of the White City." ”
"Your mercy!" Sham bowed his head and remained silent.
"You immediately tell the whole territory of Elrios, that you are the true chief mage of the whole of Elrios, the only ruler of all the territory of Elrios," Nicholas said softly, "Sham...... You have to think about how many of the nine remaining territories of Elrios will obey you? ”
The Tyles Territory, where the Pure White City is located, has been completely crippled and has no power to resist. As for the other territories, if they choose to be loyal to the old mage council of the Dharma Power that no longer exists, it will take a lot of effort from Feokad to pacify it.
"Fedorovich leads, willing to be ordered by Chief Sham." Behind the Lord of the Clouds, Lévy?? Fedorovich stepped forward. But he stood outside Yun Yong, ranking first among all those who surrendered.
"Willitas Collar ...... May I be at the command of Chief Sham," said a gray-eyed mage beside Lévy, "and I hope that Your Excellency the Speaker and the Chief will respect the traditions of my Willitas Lord." ”
"Hmm." Nicholas nodded in satisfaction.
These two territories are the great families that were feudal in the south of Elrios during the era of the Elrios Kingdom, and their patriarch has always served as the lord of these two territories, unlike other territories ruled by mages who hold public positions.
Now that these two families are willing to submit, it will be much easier for the Speaker to submit to the remaining territories of the French power. After all, even the two major families are willing to obey the puppet of Yun Yong, what are they afraid of?
"I will be here for the time being," said Nicholas, "Sham, King, from tomorrow you will inspect the parties and make them subordinate to the new Elrios. If you are not satisfied......"
He made a "chop" gesture. Sham, on the other hand, turned his head slightly and gave him a look behind him.
"My lord," a soft-voiced woman standing at the end of the crowd stood in the line, and a thick stack of papers appeared in her hand out of thin air, "here are all the detailed information of the officials of all levels in the major territories of the French State, including the 'Tyles Domain' and the family's hereditary Southern Three Domains. ”
"Oh?" Speaker Nicholas looked at the woman and frowned, but he couldn't remember the person's name.
In addition to public information, their personal personalities, family situations, and even their political secrets are all recorded here. This is part of it, if you need it, I ...... There's more. The woman's voice was as calm as water.
The representative of the Velitas Collar changed his face and stared at the woman with incredulous eyes. He recognized the woman as a senior faculty member of Solidar Academy, and it was very unusual for her to appear on such an occasion. No, she couldn't have gotten it on her own......
Who exactly?
Lévy, on the other hand, seemed calm. His turquoise eyes didn't even glance at the woman.
"Where did you get all this information?" Nicholas asked with interest.
"It's the Stewart family's vault. Stuart is greedy for power, and has been secretly collecting the handles of officials at all levels of the French power," said the governess, "and his daughter Wendy?? Stewart, before she leaves, let me pass this information on to you. Rather than destroying these things and handing them over to you and the newborn Elrios, she said, perhaps the old country could be brought back to life. ”
"Wendy?? Stewart? Nicholas looked surprised.
"She is Stewart's adopted daughter," said the governess, "and even his daughter has abandoned him, which shows that he has long since betrayed his relatives." ”
"I've heard of Wendy?? Stewart's name, her talent is not under those of the 'Golden Generation,'" said Sham, the Lord of the Clouds, "and although Wendy has fled now, since she is willing to contribute this information, it means that she may also be willing to use it for the new legal power." ”
"She does do a great job," said Nicholas, "unlike those who don't know the general idea. ”
"Yes." The female teacher's eyes lit up.
With Stewart's lifelong experience in politics, which of those Elrios officials are loyal, which are upright, and which are treacherous...... It's all clear. It can be said that it saved Kim and Sham a lot of trouble.
"The senseless resistance will soon be over." Mr. Kim said.
And Nicholas was clearly happy with how things were going.
Now, there is only one last conundrum left for the aftermath of Elrios......
"Eternal blood," Nicholas looked at Wei, "though I give you 'Morcha Norway,' there are still more than sixty thousand Errios soldiers there. Maybe they still want to do the Trapped Beast Fight...... Dealing with them is up to you. Lijie, you act with him, and I give you full authority to mobilize my Okadian army. ”
"Yes." Wei and Lijie were in a complicated mood, but they could only respectfully accept their orders.
Wei understands that this is a chance for Nicholas to give himself a chance to stand on his own.
But...... But he felt "hot".
"Nice to deal with! I don't want to...... It's up to legendary mages like me to do it. Nicholas said in a well-watered tone.
……
After everyone left.
Nicholas sat alone in place.
He stared at his left arm.
"It's trickier than expected." He smiled wryly.
The arm, which had just been repaired by the priest with a regeneration spell, took on a terrifying grayish-white color. Previously, Nicholas mostly kept his left arm in a position where it naturally drooped. Thankfully, no one was suspicious.
During the battle with the Emperor, this arm was directly severed. In order to maintain his fighting ability, Nicholas even resorted to necromancy to rejuvenate himself.
The price is severe.
Under the influence of the necromantic aura, the arm that could have been fully restored in three days would have taken at least three months to barely return to its original state at the moment. His physical fitness was also greatly challenged, and even he had to rely on alchemical drugs for sleep, and it was difficult for him to maintain perfect concentration in meditation.
This Okadian master, after all, is only flesh and blood.
He really wanted to train his subordinates...... But he didn't want to be aware of the fact that he was weak.
He must maintain his invincible image, and once everyone discovers that this powerful legendary mage will also be injured and weakened, more and more people will jump out and fight to weaken him even if they die. He also didn't want to casually mobilize other legendary spellcasters, lest they reveal a flaw: who knows when these people will betray him?
In desperation, Nicholas, the brutal beast, chose to hibernate for the time being.
Use political tactics to stabilize the opponent and wait for the next outbreak.
Even if it is not yet mature...... Nicholas thought silently, now, let Wei accumulate some experience.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
