Compared with the city-state era of the past, the current West and North Lands are an incomparably better era, without the orcs and trolls that infest the wilderness, farmers can cultivate and cultivate the fields with peace of mind, and the nobles do not need to put on armor and are always vigilant against the invasion of wilderness monsters.

Although the killing and strife are still not far from this world, the expansion of the scope of existence, the development of industry, and the progress of civilization have allowed more civilians to enter the era of slavery.

Although because of the centralization of the kingdom, the noble lords gradually lost the right to take the life and death of the territory and the people, but the current kingdom, after all, the territory is stable, the order is stable, although the war still exists, but there is no longer that kind of endless disasters.

The aristocracy also had a rare time to enjoy the glory, so most of the nobles began to abandon the old and old-fashioned style, leaving the dark castles and remote countryside, and living in cities full of wealth and civilization, enjoying the comfort and luxury brought by civilization and commercial progress.

Although the pace of reform of the Kingdom of West Hartland is not as fast as that of the New World and the Red Dragon Empire, it is also a region that has been transformed extremely quickly in the Old World, which has always been conservative.

Because of the efforts of the two generations of kings of West Hartland, the trade routes were widened, cities were built, commerce was encouraged, and the magnificent Mosenhai Palace was built, and the nobles were summoned to the court, which greatly weakened the influence of the nobles on their own territories and greatly strengthened the authority and power of the royal family.

Now the younger generation of nobles in the kingdom has also abandoned most of the conservative and old-fashioned customs of the kingdom, and has begun to yearn for and imitate the fashionable fashion of the New World and the southern countries. All kinds of new things, such as balls, parties, salons, concerts, etc., are also popular in the kingdom of Rain.

Although Shi Ji is older than most ordinary humans, she still retains the heart of a young man. And unlike the ambitious Divine Son like the Seven Sisters, although Shi Ji has the divinity bestowed by her sister, she is still an ordinary mortal in mind.

She doesn't like work and has little interest in building a vast empire. The reason why she is sitting in the king's seat now is also because it is her sister's order, and she prefers to be lazy, listen to music, and live an idle and comfortable life than as a queen, constantly working on all kinds of things in the kingdom.

Shi Ji likes to hold an intimate salon every morning to talk about poetry, fairy tales, fables and other literary arts with her close aristocratic ladies, and also exchange ideas about the latest popular music and opera.

Of course, as a king, prom socializing was one of her jobs in itself. So sometimes in the afternoon or evening, a wider range of salons will be held, in addition to the ladies of the court and the magnates of the kingdom come to participate, often also receive some celebrities and scholars, together to appreciate oil paintings, sculptures, music and other artistic crystallization, the atmosphere is relaxed, in addition to talking about art, but also play cards or casual chat. Because of Shi Ji and the other participants, this salon was naturally regarded as the highest social salon of the kingdom's court.

The large living room is brightly lit, and the row of floor-to-ceiling windows in the front hall not only let in fresh air, but also bright sunlight.

The layout of the living room is exquisite and warm, more than 20 sofas, or two groups, or three groups, are placed in various corners of the hall, and in the middle of each group of sofas, a small table is placed for guests to place items or big cards to play. And all the sofas are circled in a circle, and each group faces the center of the living room. In the center of the living room, there is a small open space that can be used as a small dance floor and for speeches to be recited.

On the large sofa in the main seat of the living room, there is a beautiful Shi Ji, she is wearing a small silver crown, her golden bun is hanging down gently, her soft eyes are narrowly slit, with a delicate and delicate nose, a quiet and elegant temperament arises spontaneously.

Beside Shi Ji, there was a court lady holding a scroll of poetry, reciting it softly in a soft and melodious voice.

Shi Ji gently half leaned on the sofa, supported her jaw with her hands, and her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly with the ups and downs of the story, obviously listening very attentively.

On the sofa around Shi Ji, there were naturally more than twenty aristocratic ladies, dressed noblely and elegantly, listening attentively with the most elegant posture that suited them.

And just as Shi Ji was leisurely enjoying her leisure time, a young woman in a court dress walked in. She had light blue hair and a delicate face, her white skin was as lustrous as the silver moon, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing an elegant arc. And all the girls who saw her hurriedly showed respectful expressions and got up to greet her.

"Lord Lifar!"

It was Dugufeng's butler back then, and now Shi Ji's chief female court official Lifar Yinyue came in.

When Shi Ji saw Lifar's arrival, a depressed look suddenly appeared on her face, which meant that her leisure time for today was coming to an end.

"Your Majesty, there are five things on your important agenda today, the first thing is that you want to meet with the mission from Am, although the church has mastered a large part of Am's organization and faith, but there are still many things to do to merge this region with the Kingdom of West Hartland...... Secondly, I would like to inspect the Holy Lily Academy of Magic, and today is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Academy......"

As Shi Ji's chief court official, Lifar Silver Moon is undoubtedly very responsible, she walked up to Shi Ji and explained today's itinerary one by one.

"Hey, there's so much to deal with today!"

Shi Ji sighed and said rather depressedly. She just traveled to Heavenly Mountain with her sister, and she stole a little bit for a while, but she didn't expect to find so many backlogs when she turned around, which was really depressing.

"Your Majesty, if you could spend some of your leisure time on official business, there wouldn't be so many things to deal with today!"

Lifar Yinyue said with a serious face. As a vampire, time has not left any traces on her, she is still as young and beautiful as sixty years ago, but since she became Shi Ji's chief female official and assisted her in handling the affairs of the entire kingdom, she was pushed over by the lazy Shi Ji and had to bury her head in the complicated and trivial affairs of the kingdom, which made her who also likes to spend a leisurely life very depressed.

"Ann, Ann! Lifar, you are so capable, of course I am relieved! ”

Being stared at by Lifar Yinyue's somewhat resentful eyes, Shi Ji couldn't help but laugh a little weakly, and then learned the usual tone of her sister and said, "Haha, you do something, I don't worry!" With Lifar here, I can relax! ”

"Your Highness, shirking responsibility is not the responsibility that a king should have!"

Lifar Yinyue strained her face, stared at Shi Ji and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Am's envoy has arrived and is waiting for your reception, please be prepared!" ”

"Alright! All right! ”

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Shi Ji had to sigh, stood up, and announced, "Okay, that's all for today's study!" You can take a break and talk about opera, music or some morning tea......"

"Oh! I'm a little sleepy just now, and I'm thinking about a cup of coffee or something ......else," a noble lady who was sitting closer to me raised her feather folding fan to cover her mouth, and smiled softly.

"Yes! Perhaps, we can talk about Master Ferrona's "Don in the Moonlight" later, or ......" another aristocratic girl also said with a smile.

Faced with Her Majesty's order, the ladies of the nobles smiled kindly, and they rose one after another to salute Her Majesty, but walked together to the side hall to enjoy refreshments and morning tea.

After the noble ladies left, Shi Ji also got up and moved to a formal meeting room, where she went back and forth to meet Am's envoy.

The Silver Hall, with its long marble staircase and high circular dome. The entire hall was shrouded in a faint silvery-white glow at any given time, a metal-like cold light that came from the Lord of Slaughter. This place is the holy place of the Lord of Slaughter, and this hall is also the place of refuge that is directly watched by the Lord of Slaughter.

In the center of the hall, the focus of the cold and sacred silver-white light is a silver throne, and behind the throne is a lotus statue of countless sword blades arranged - this is the most famous silver sword seat in the Killing Sanctuary, which is said to be directly connected to the throne of God in the kingdom of God.

Shi Ji sat on the throne, waiting for the arrival of the messenger of Am, and on either side of the throne stood the palace guards, maids, and a few magicians - although there could be no successful assassination on the Silver Sword Throne, which was directly under the direct attention of the gods, there was still the necessary security to be there as the king's dependence.

Slightly to Shi Ji's surprise, this time Am's envoy turned out to be an acquaintance Shi Ji knew.

"Greetings to you, Your Highness, Daughter of the Murdering God!"

Walking in was a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes and snow-white skin. She was none other than Ms. Ville Loren.

"Silent Blade" Lady Veria Roland, who was one of the powerhouses of the Amm Shadow Thieves Guild, was in the turmoil set off by the Son of Baal at the beginning, and the Shadow Thieves Guild itself participated in it and suffered a big blow, and Ms. Veria Roland took the opportunity to expand her influence and dominated the Shadow Thieves Six Council in one fell swoop!

Now, the shadow thief led by His Excellency the "Silent Blade" is one of the most powerful forces in the Amm region, so it is not surprising that she has become Amm's envoy this time.
