Chapter 263: A Cup of Wine
Abigail was gone, but her golden amber eyes were shining as she went. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xia He began to deal with official business, using his divine sense to scan all the documents in his absence.
Cape Stormwind is now free of commerce, but has opened up some agriculture. Among the ruins, the ruins have been demolished, and a large number of magic lamps have been installed on the top of the space, and a layer of earth has been laid underneath to create artificial farmland.
However, these were not approved by Xia He, and as for the goblin ruins, Xia He originally planned to develop them after they were completely settled.
Now that Lynch is still attacking Dragon Island, whether this place can be affected by the war or not, Xia He has not yet scored.
Fortunately, the entrance to the ruins was originally underground, and the secret room was a space of its own, and the people sent by the empire would not destroy the ruins.
In addition to cultivating farmland, the people who came from the Arcane Empire entered the secret room many times to explore the secrets inside.
Of course, Xia He didn't allow this kind of thing to happen, so he had to control Storm Point, and he couldn't let people count it casually in the future.
In fact, the Academys of the Empire are usually also established outside the ruins, and the more powerful the Academy, the more elaborate the location and the more valuable the ruins they have.
Xia He couldn't bear the endless temptations of these nobles and reaped the benefits of himself.
It is true that he has no talent for governance, but the team on the imperial capital is already good, and he can use it directly when he is transferred back to Storm Corner.
The most important thing in the Arcane Empire is talent, and too many people have not met it.
This has something to do with the education of the Arcane Empire, the entire empire is full of various academies, many of which are the same as Metatrin, will reduce tuition fees, and some academies, as long as your qualifications can, are willing to train you with money.
After so many years of accumulation, illiterate people in the empire were rare, which was a very rare phenomenon in a society that had not eliminated the aristocracy and slaves.
Night soon fell, and Xia He beckoned his people to the Lord's Mansion.
The lord's mansion was brightly lit, and yesterday day, the people sent by Freya were building buildings, and a wide hall was erected directly, and the seats in the front were Xia He's, and there were four rows of tables on each side, without chairs, and a cushion was given behind the table.
On each low table was a note with a name written on it.
When Xia He sat down, he glanced at both sides, more than 300 tables, not yet full, and they were more than a hundred years away.
Someone outside locked up the halls, and Su Lie's knight put away the note on the empty table and handed it to Su Xue.
Su Xue walked out of the side door, which was also closed, and the outside was locked.
Next to Xia He, Freya and Su Qi sat on the side, and Abigail sat on the side. Su Lie wore heavy armor and stood in the depths of the main hall. Xia He glanced at the wine utensils on the table and smiled.
He poured himself a glass of wine, raised it, and said to the people in the main hall: "Everyone, for the sake of the empire. ”
Glinsky and the leaders muttered in their hearts, what does this mean? But the lords all raised their glasses, and they could not stand still, so they poured themselves wine and raised the silver cups in their hands.
"For the Empire!"
Xia He drank the wine down, and then turned the wine glass upside down, and not a drop of residual wine fell.
The people in the hall had no choice but to learn from Xia He and drink all the wine in the cup.
Xia He put down his wine glass and said, "This time I came back, there is only one thing, and that is to make you all loyal to me, and I will not be responsible for what happened before." ”
Immediately, a loud voice shouted: "Lord Lord, what you said is not right, we are all loyal to the Empire!"
Xia He frowned, the person who spoke was far away from him, that is to say, the status of this person was lower among the officials appointed by the empire.
"Su Lie. ”
"In. ”
"Go and get the other man's head back. ”
"Yes. ”
Su Lie came from the depths of the main hall, and Glinsky was shocked, he watched the tall military general walk down from Xia He's side, walk through the hall, and come to the person who opposed Xia He.
The man got up, was grabbed by Su Lie's hair, pulled out the short sword from his waist, and waved it casually.
A head was lifted by Su Lie in his hand, and the corpse fell to the ground in a dull manner, blood flowing everywhere.
Su Lie carried the head, walked back to Xia He, lifted the head, and put it on the table in front of Xia He.
Xia He nodded and said, "The laws of the empire, my territory, is my biggest, even if Your Majesty comes, you can't overstep your authority to manage my people." The person who does things for me must be loyal to me first, and now, do you still have any doubts?"
Glinski never imagined that Asra would be such a means of dealing with it.
He thought of a lot of rhetoric, and he did Andre's death seamlessly, even if he had to take responsibility, he was also a substitute for the dead.
He heard that Xia He was going to ask about the case, and he was not worried.
"If there is no doubt, this magic contract will be signed. Xia He said, took out a stack of magic contracts, put them on the table, Su Qi waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward, took the magic contract, and distributed it from table to table.
"Asla, are you trying to kill us all!" said Baroness Marlene angrily.
Macbeth laughed next to her and said, "Marlene, what are you talking about, I have been loyal to the lord, even if you all die, it will not be killed." ”
"Macbeth!" Baron Pete pointed at him, shocked and angry.
"I don't know if you're all dead, but those who refuse to come today are doomed. Macbeth was happy, and the angry eyes of the others fell on him, and he enjoyed it very much.
Xia He smiled: "I don't have much time, to put it simply, the person who killed Andre will definitely not survive." When you sign the contract, don't forget to write on the back who killed him. If the name is wrong, sorry, I don't need someone who is against the yang. ”
"My lord, I don't know who Andre is!" an official stood up angrily.
"You don't know, what do I want you for?" Before Xia He's words fell, Su Qi suddenly raised his hand and released an ice pick, which turned around in the air, and with a pop, it penetrated into the official's eyebrows.
"Now everyone knows who Andre is, right?" Su Qi's voice was cold, echoing in the hall.
Glinsky's face was like ashes, and he wanted to resist, but Su Lie had just walked in front of him, and the momentum he released was powerful, and he was clearly a warrior of the epic realm.
"Also, who attacked my Feathered Serpent yesterday, come out now, and you can avoid death. Su Qi added.
There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one spoke.
"What a bunch of tough guys, well, let's start with Glinsky. Xia He said, waving his hand, this time Su Lie was followed by fifty heavily armored warriors, and ten magicians in black robes.
"Asla, you are so mad, Your Majesty will not let you go!" Glinsky knew that he would not be spared, and took out a scroll to be released.
However, he suddenly found that the magic power in his body was not controlled at all, and there was also a problem with his mental power, and the scroll could not be expanded at all when he was pinched in his hand.
Wine is poisonous!
But I have clearly done a toxin detection, why didn't I find it?
Xia He sneered, the plague curse of the goddess of doom was not poison at all, but it was more terrifying than any poison. Taoist priests are familiar with this thing, and they have all practiced the method of coping. If there is no Taoist method, at least it will be a legend to resist the attack of the plague curse.
"Macbeth has written to ask His Majesty to send some more people, and if Your Majesty is angry, at most he will not send anyone to come, Glinsky, if you tell me who has bought you behind your back, I can make your death more pleasant. ”
The hoplite dragged Glinsky to Xia He's table.
"Asla, you can't die well!" Glinsky knew he couldn't live, but he stiffened up, scolding angrily with his neck.
Freya smiled beside her, "My lord, I like this kind of person the most, I can play for a longer time." ”
More than a dozen feathered snakes flew out of her sleeve and pounced on Glinsky's body, biting with their sharp teeth. The strength in Glinsky's body dissipated, and he couldn't even roll, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood were blurred, and only screams remained.
He was still trying to curse something, but a feathered snake bit him on the throat, and the throat was torn off, and all he could do was make a ho-ho sound.
Xia He looked at Glinsky, who could only twitch, and said with a smile: "You officials who do government affairs always think that you have power in your hands. But I don't know where the power comes from. In Cape Storm, the power comes from me, and the reason why you have someone to buy it is because someone wants to share my power, why should I put up with it?"
Freya emitted a black light that silently sparked behind Glinsky's head and collected his soul.
A magician of this level will confess if he can't last more than one round in the Ten Hall Seals. The adults said that they would clean him up slowly, so let him play a few more rounds.
"Asla, if I'm going to die......"
Before Marlene could finish speaking, a soldier stepped forward, lifted her up from her seat, and threw her in front of Xia He.
Baron Pete quickly grabbed the knife on the table and slashed it off his finger with all his might, using his own blood to write his name on the magic contract.
"You are not a hereditary nobleman, and when you die, you will disappear, and you will not even have anyone to avenge you. Xia He said to the baroness.
"Hahahaha! Asla, you don't know who's behind me!"
From Freya's sleeve, several more feathered serpents flew out and pounced on Marlene.
Freya smiled: "You look so ugly, you must not be Your Majesty behind you, if it is not Your Majesty, what is there to be afraid of?"
In the main hall, there were more than sixty people who hurried to follow Baron Pete's example, and the rest of them all had important relatives in the empire, controlled by others, although they were afraid of death, they did not dare to easily take refuge in Asla.
They are still lucky, and now here at Stormstorm Point, they are busy with Lynch's war and need government officials. If they were all killed, the war would have been seriously affected.
Abigail frowned, looking at everything in front of him, Asra was cruel, from beginning to end, nothing happened to her. As for the question of whether the Empire would expel the temple or not, which she feared, did not happen at all.
With a glass of wine, the blood mage disintegrated the combat power of these people, and then took it at will.
This is what Asra is talking about power, authority and power, it's terrifying!
Even if someone wasn't poisoned, Su Lie and his armor warriors, plus a group of magicians from the Temple of Doom, would be enough to kill those who resisted on the spot.
