The explosion in the back garden of the palace of Xiuen Zhelai spread throughout the entire royal city in less than a day and a night.

Rumors began to spread in the streets that the king had angered the gods and had been punished by heaven.

But no matter how the rumors spread in the city, today is still the happiest day for Maurice III.

Because yesterday he finally witnessed the power of the legendary god!

And now Maurice III has a map of the Far South in front of him, on which Maurice III yesterday was still having a headache to defend against the next invasion of the Far South Empire.

Today, Maurice III was thrilled to look at the route of this map, and he had the illusion that he could hold the whole world in his hands in the next second.

Nancy walked into the palace hall at this time, she has always gotten up very early, she rarely got in bed today, and returned to her bed again after a year, Nancy naturally had to roll a few times and get up again.

However, as soon as Nancy walked into the main hall, he saw his own father looking at the map of the Far South Continent and showing a somewhat creepy smile.

"Father, you are not thinking about conquering the world, are you?" Nancy walked to the Far South map in the center of the main hall and directly pierced what Maurice III was thinking in his heart.

"My daughter, don't you think you have that god-given power..."

"I made the black powder! It's not a gods-given, it's a recipe given to me by a man named Lucheng! Nancy slapped her hands on the table and corrected her own father's statement.

Nancy really suspects that this dad of hers was blown up yesterday, or that he has been completely stupid since his mother's death.

"That Lord Lucheng is..."

"He's a soldier from a country called the Celestial Empire! Not some God's creation! These are all things that can be explained by science! ”

Nancy didn't have time to tell her father this, the explosion was so powerful that Maurice III's hearing was damaged by the explosion, and today he seems to have recovered.

"Branch... Learn? "Maurice III heard a strange word, which Nancy said in Chinese.

"A general term for a body of knowledge, I don't know how to explain it to you, father."

Nancy took off her glasses on the bridge of her nose as she said this, yesterday's explosion left a crack in her spectacle lens, and Nancy was very distressed every time she saw it.

"Then don't explain, my daughter, how many of those black particles can you make?"

Maurice III did not want to care about these issues that seemed insignificant to him.

"White flame stone can be collected in the soil of Torii Island, but after collecting it, it needs to be purified, and if there are enough materials and manpower, it can be produced no matter how much it is."

Nancy had been researching the geography of her country last night, and the white flame stone, which was the source of saltpeter, had found another way to buy it from the alchemist merchants.

It was an island inhabited by a large number of seabirds, and the soil of the island was mixed with a large amount of bird droppings, which accumulated over time and caused the roots of the trees to form 'hoarfrost'.

These 'hoarfrosts' are exactly what Nancy needs.

"I'll send someone to collect it, as long as there are enough black particles......"

"Father, you can't win the Far Southern Empire." Nancy ruthlessly destroys her father's grand wish: "Barrels of explosives made of black powder are too small to be effective in actual combat, and we need another tool to maximize the power of black powder." ”

"Tools?"

"We'll talk about how to make it later, father... Who is our enemy now? ”

Nancy is now here to convince her father to cooperate with the Celestial Empire.

"The Far Southern Empire, there is also a possible Blood Crystal Beast Disaster in the future."

Maurice III was still thinking about it, the Blood Crystal Beast Plague had almost destroyed the entire Scarlet, and no one knew if the Kingdom of Xiuen Zhelai would become the second Scarley.

"Father, there is also famine and cold..."

It was only after Nancy returned to her home country that she realized how backward she really was.

It took her half a month to return to Wangcheng, and along the way, Nancy passed by many villages and... I saw a lot of corpses frozen to death in the wilderness.

Not to mention these small villages, in a small town of a certain size, it is normal for civilians to starve in the face of this cold winter.

"Famine? Nancy: We still have a lot of food in reserve, and the fire in the fireplace is still burning, so where is the famine and the cold? Maurice III did not understand what Nancy was saying.

"Indeed... That is true. Nancy was stunned for a moment in the face of this answer, she could not be like Elena, who had to save civilians even if she did not have enough to eat.

The living conditions of the low-level commoners were just a bargaining chip for Nancy to negotiate with her father, but Maurice III didn't seem to care if the commoners could be fed. It should be said that under the threat of the Far Southern Empire, he was not in the mood to care about these at all.

Maurice III now only wanted to strengthen the country's military power against the invasion of those enemies.

"Father, I have been with the Celestial Empire... The country that taught me about black powder has been contacted, and they are willing to give us help! Nancy directly stated the purpose of her coming to the main hall, "As long as you can get their help, whether it is the threat of the Far Southern Empire or the Blood Crystal Beast, it will not be a problem!" ”

And famine and cold ... Nancy added to herself.

"And what do they want?" Maurice III asked.

Yesterday, when Nancy was making gunpowder, she had already told Maurice III how much the country called the Celestial Empire was... Incredible.

"The core of the leyline... Energy. ”

Nancy's voice was uncertain, and she looked at Maurice III with some caution, and she had the impression that any king who mentioned that people from other countries needed the core of the leyline would immediately enter a state of rage.

Because this demand is a challenge to their authority!

"My daughter, if it is gold nuggets and jewelry, I can provide it to you, but this request is a matter of life and death for our country." Maurice III was not angry, but sounded a little helpless in his voice, perhaps in his eyes Nancy's request was close to his own daughter's vexatiousness.

"Father, I didn't ask you to directly agree to their request, you can send someone you trust to their camp... Communicate. Nancy paused at this point, "Or you can go there yourself, where are there weapons far more powerful than black powder." ”

"I'll go and get in touch with the gods myself, Nancy, you just have to tell me where the great ones are."

Maurice III has been 'brainwashed' to a hopelessly high degree by the canons of various gods, in his eyes... The strangers who gave her this knowledge were the messengers of God.
