Chapter 31: Rolnis
As night fell, the royal court of Faennes was already packed.
It was like a grand dinner, but the atmosphere was too tense compared to the dinner.
Only a handful of people were eating with Rolnes. A few people approached him with nervous expressions, and they were immediately pulled away by the people behind him.
The ministers got together to talk about something, and some nobles with only false names were even pushed out of the door. The white-bearded old man, the high-spirited young general, and some nobles in expensive animal skins quarreled.
"Your Majesty, while there are not many monsters coming up from the Great Rift now, quickly dispatch the Third Legion to destroy them! Those are underground monsters, and it's too late! β
"Nonsense! It's just a bunch of monsters, if we call in the regular army, wouldn't it be a joke? β
"That's it, if we Farah have good men who are good hunters, those stupid monsters are completely unorganized, although they rush up from near the seal in a scattered way, but it is okay to be a tide of beasts......"
"yes, isn't it just like the beast tide? It's just that the types of monsters you usually deal with are different, so don't be so nervous. β
"But the ancient books ......"
"Haha, Marquis of Kazmo, you've been too nervous this time. Books can't be trusted, this old man's proverb was taught to me, or did you teach me. β
"No, I swear in the name of Lorda Khan that this time the situation will definitely be different......"
"Wait! You can't talk nonsenseβ"
ββ¦β¦ No, the Marquis is right. I don't feel good either. β
"What's not so good about them, they can still be corrected into an army? Besides. Even if they actually formed a legion, a bunch of brainless monsters. Can it be more powerful than the Titan army? β
On one side, the nobles and ministers quarreled fiercely, while on the other side, Ronise simply sat in her seat. Slowly chewing his food, he watched the farce absentmindedly.
The young king of the mountain people did not have the same handsome or beautiful countenance as the rulers of other countries. He is only a little more than 1.6 meters tall, his eyes are not big, his cheeks are red and he has a big rosacea, and his muscles are unexpectedly quite numerous, but they give people the illusion of being full of fat, and he looks like a small potato from a distance.
Because of his image, some people who are not familiar with him even think that Rolnis has dwarven blood in him, and those who hate him privately call him "the dwarf king" and "that old dwarf".
And Rolnis does have the arrogance and fiery temper that is characteristic of dwarves. And completely dismissive of these rumors, they don't bother to refute them at all, so such rumors have even been taken seriously in some areas. This even led to many jokes.
One of the most famous jokes is that shortly after Rolnes succeeded to the throne, a traveling druid from Carral, a rather talented bard, wanted to come to Faraj to write a biography of Rolnis.
But after he had traveled around the country of Fararo, he wrote in his biography of Rolnis: "A irascible but wise king, who is believed to be not very large, with a quarter of the blood of a wrought iron dwarf in his veins. β
After that. The dwarven king of Fararu soon became a big joke - the number of quarters was too subtle. Regardless of appearance - the average height of a semi-dwarf is 1.3 to 1.4 meters, and the first king is a burly mountain man who is more than two meters tall, and he is born with divine powers, and he still has the blood of the mountain people elders flowing on his body. Endurance is endless.
If the first king really had a half-dwarf princess...... Cough.
The picture was too beautiful to look at.
Many people don't understand why a strong and burly former king could give birth to a descendant like Rolnis. Until now, there are still people who usurp the throne because Ronnis used the bloodline to steal the royal blood of the King of the Mountain People using the bloodline stealing ritual.
The name Rolnis means "wise and wise" in the language of the hill people, but no one would have believed that the king really had a wise mind.
In the three years since he came to power. He did almost nothing, but maintained the policies of the previous king and continued it as usual. This makes those who expect him to make drastic changes when he takes the throne. The enthusiasm of the revolutionary people gradually faded. He gradually became disappointed in him.
In addition to the "Dwarf King", which is often referred to by foreigners, some of the ministers and nobles of Fararu prefer to call him "Fool King".
But the words from God's point of view. Actually, Rolnes really did nothing wrong.
Fararow did not face any crisis or major opportunities, but just developed slowly and plainly. From Rolnes' point of view, maintaining the status quo is already a pretty good option.
A lot of things are like that, and the more you change, the worse it gets. If the status quo is maintained, progress can at least be guaranteed.
Since there is still room for progress and development, and Fararow is not at an impasse, there is no need for any form of reform.
It is better to say that Rolnis himself knows that he has obvious shortcomings in talent compared to his father. But the value of him is that he is clearly aware of this, so he is very smart not to move anything, and everything remains the status quo. And not in the reform of the aristocracy and the common people who did not understand anything. What has really changed in the call for revolution.
Rolnis is not as stupid as he appears.
He could have done something that didn't matter, and what seemed like a big change, but it didn't shake the fundamentals. At the same time, he can give the people some small benefits - but that's all he can do.
The vitality and will of the former king were too tenacious. While he was tormented by some mysterious curse, his muscles withered, his teeth went out, his hair was gray, and he could only swing in bed, he was still able to deal with all the problems before his only son succeeded to the throne.
But everyone knows that this was done by the previous king. This kind of wisdom of realizing what will happen in the future, how to deal with it, what kind of counterattack will be faced, and so on, makes the mountain people worship the wisdom of the previous king even more.
After the first king held on to his last breath and worked continuously for more than twenty hours, there was really no problem left for Farah now......
As long as Rolnis honestly follows the path laid for him by his predecessors, although he will never leave a name of wisdom in history, if nothing happens, Farrath will be much stronger than his father reigned.
Rolnis did not move anything, but showed his wisdom.
After three years on the throne, let alone a Titan, even within Farajo, few people know Rolnis's hole cards.
On the other hand, if Rolnis did not achieve very good results in any of his reforms, then the populace would naturally become disappointed after comparing his talents with those of his predecessors, and then disrespect for Rolnes.
If we compare it longitudinally, Rolnis is also at the top of the mountain people's kings. But he really didn't have room to play.
"Is it planted underground......
Rolnis leaned lazily in his seat, holding half of a roasted roasted roast chicken in his right hand, his small eyes squinting and thinking about something, as if he had lost his mind.
He wasn't as ignorant of underground species as these people.
After his good friend, Les, who almost regarded himself as his own brother, was deceived by the Brain Eater in the City of Fortune, Rolnis asked his teacher to check the information on the underground seeds.
It took him half a month to get this information from his teacher. He was startled and realized the danger of these things.
Now, Rolnis was glad that he hadn't ignored Rice's advice and went to learn about the underground species. Otherwise, he'd really treat the underground as a monster like those guys who are no different from stupid pigs.
And now......
Rolnis tore a large mouthful of chicken and chewed slowly.
Now, this impending catastrophe caused by the invasion of underground monsters will become an opportunity for himself to stand by himself. (To be continued.) )
