Chapter 608: Guests and Hosts Enjoying (1 Shift/4 Shifts Only)
Through a brief conversation, Luo Di felt that she was actually a young mage with little scheming, just like a graduate doctor in a university, and people engaged in scientific research were often much simpler than those engaged in personnel administration. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he still had countless questions to ask in his heart, the other party was now considered a "leader" rather than a prisoner, and there was no need to be locked up and interrogated. So Roddy motioned for Camilla to take Sylvia back to the room to rest, and then do nothing for the next few days and adapt to the current era.
After the other party was gone, Roddy leaned back in his chair and was silent in thought.
Akasha looked down at her ring and exclaimed, "It's a strange feeling. Resurrect the dead and keep them conscious of their pre-mortem life. This doesn't seem to be any different from the 'awakened' of the Tasman? Did I do something terrible unintentionally?"
"Spells are just appearances, I think this ring is very strange, it can kill the dead and resurrect the dead, what the hell is that guy named Parnon doing? Could it be that he has become a demigod of the founding sect like Solomon?"
Luo Di rubbed his eyebrows: "As for the resurrection or something, it is not valid without full verification." But you haven't been trying to use that spell lately... In case there are too many resurrections, it is really difficult to deal with. ”
That being said, Roddy felt in his heart that this was not a trouble, but an opportunity.
After the turmoil caused by the orcs faded away, the royal palace of Karen finally returned to its former peace.
Charles II took the time to go out with the princes and princesses on his third summer safari. The eldest prince was so pleased with the hunt of a majestic elk that Charles II held a bonfire feast in the palace on the edge of the hunting grounds, with several close ministers to participate.
The eldest prince is nineteen this year, the second prince is sixteen, and the two princesses are thirteen and ten years old, and they rarely appear in public, and only on such occasions do they get together. The royal family seldom took part in the aristocratic banquets, for Charles II always scoffed at banquets and balls, and never liked the events held in such mansions or castles, preferring the unique scenery of wild hunting dinners - of course, this is also to emulate the kings who pioneered the territory and conquered the whole country.
At least one king who "likes to hunt in the wild" sounds tougher than a king who "indulges in drinking all day". Charles II liked to be described as "bloody" when others commented on him, and every time he heard a kind of nobleman talk about the expansion of the kingdom's territory, he would participate in it with high spirits, and then everyone agreed...
The years of guidance have given him an indescribable self-confidence, so when Mirno is ready to attack Ivotard, Charles II feels that he can finally use his long-held ambition today, and get past the addiction of "expanding the territory" and controlling the whole country.
However, for him, it is definitely a risky thing to let the power of a nobleman grow wild without checking. After Moore withdrew from the inner circle of power, it was natural for Charles II to find that no one at the top dared to contradict Mirno. Although things were well done with Mirno, Charles II was well aware of the truth that politics needed to be "balanced". Therefore, at the dinner party after the hunt, he warmly invited several counts to talk about the current state affairs by the light of the campfire.
"Count Duvedon, I haven't seen you go to the opera lately, is there something else delayed?"
Charles II is also a little accomplished in art, and sometimes he will write some opera scripts or poems by himself, not because he is vassal, but he can really have weight in the art circle. The theatre was his most frequented entertainment venue, and when he was in the mood, he would change the script on the fly to allow the actors to present the plot they wanted, and that was the kind of thing that became a topic of conversation in the kingdom - of course, this was what Charles II heard.
"Your Majesty, the war has been tight recently, and I have been busy with related matters in the territory, and I have only a few clues. It's a lot easier to be part of a safari, because delicious venison is much better than boring numbers and annoying reports. ”
With a pointed chin and a goatee, and his eyes always fixed on the ground when he spoke, Du Weiden was not tall, but his temper was quite famous in aristocratic circles - among all the nobles who were based on profit, Du Weiden was an outlier with a rather "idealistic" meaning. At least he had always been open on many occasions about his desire for the kingdom of Karen to remain strong, and his desire to reform the system of law, agriculture, and even the Academy of Magic.
Whether it's true or not, it's courage to dare to say that. The feudal aristocracy was united by interests, and Charles II knew very well how careful these so-called "loyal subordinates" were, so among a group of selfish fellows, Duvedon seemed to be very different - and it was precisely because of his position that the count had been excluded from the core of power by other nobles in recent years: the cake was so big, who would take the initiative to let others take their own cake?
Charles II was not a radical reformer. After all, in his opinion, the economic strength and military strength of the entire kingdom are slowly rising, and there is nothing in it that needs to be changed immediately, and he also advocates "balance" and "stability".
But now Charles II has changed his mind, and he invites Duvedon and several other nobles who are more distant from Mirno, to a party, which is naturally a signal. The latter can mingle in the inner circle, and of course they know what it means, and they are all smiling and happy.
"I heard that Count Duverden was very sympathetic to the people's feelings, and not only cared about current affairs, but also studied agricultural production?"
Charles II is not a straw bale, and he does no less than anyone else before making any decisions. Therefore, even if there are only a few words, they can always scratch the itch, which makes Du Weiden, who already wants to perform hard, excited.
"Back to Your Majesty, I think that agriculture is fundamental to the country, enough food can raise enough troops, and more food can we conquer more land. ”
This opening remark was also addressed to Charles II's appetite, who laughed and said, "Rightfully spoken! My soldiers will have more strength to conquer when they are well fed!" (To be continued.) )
