Chapter 274: The Truth
"Alas, I was careless!" the Third Emperor Uncle Primo calmed down for a while before telling the story.
It turned out that he was indeed careless, the old king of the Iwu Kingdom is almost seventy years old this year, and he has been a king for more than thirty years.
It has only been more than ten years since Primo has been guarding the kingdom of Iwu, and during these ten years, the old king has always been very kind to him, and has never embarrassed him.
And Primo also has a good affection for the old king, the two are more than twenty years apart, and they have always treated the old king with the attitude of an elder.
The old king was not only good to Primo, but also very gentle to others, and no one from the royal palace to the people would say a bad word about the old king.
Therefore, in the kingdom of Iwu, the old king has high prestige, and he is also like Frandi teaches Glenn to help many suffering civilians during the blizzard season.
Since ancient times, the Igo Kingdom has been nicknamed "Mountain Pimple", but you can imagine how barren it is, and there is not much land that can be cultivated in the entire kingdom, and as long as the weather is not beautiful, there will be famine.
However, there are a lot of minerals in the kingdom, and for so many years, various minerals have been used to exchange food for the Central Empire and the Kunmo Kingdom.
However, due to the problem of roads, the amount of food that can be exchanged for each year is very small, and it can only be used as some supplements.
In the past ten years, the Kunmo Kingdom, which is the breadbasket of mankind, has been in turmoil, and the Central Empire has increased the amount of grain demanded from the Kunmo Kingdom, so the Yiwu Kingdom has received less and less food from the Kunmo Kingdom.
Because the old king has always been very generous to the commoners, the royal family has not had much savings over the years, resulting in more and more in recent years.
With such a situation in the Yiwu Kingdom, naturally those nobles were not comfortable, and they returned to the Central Empire with money, at least the Central Empire was relatively stable and could eat a full meal.
The nobles are almost gone, and even those who remain are only slightly better off than the common people, which leads to a large shortage of various official positions and soldiers in the kingdom.
The old king was not impressed, although there were no nobles, but there were still many commoners, and he vigorously promoted some educated people among the commoners to official positions, and the kingdom's army was almost entirely civilian.
So don't look at the Three Emperor Uncles who have been in the Yiwu Kingdom for so many years, but they don't have any power, on the contrary, the Three Emperor Uncles also have a lot of respect for the old king, and feel that the old king is very good at doing this, which can make the Yiwu Kingdom very united.
But after all, the old king is getting older and older every year, and just a few months ago, the old king has become ill, and even the energy to deal with government affairs has been lost.
Don't look at the old king's prestige in the Yiwu Kingdom, but he has a son who is not angry.
Tracy was the only son of the old king when he was almost fifty years old, and the only heir, and no one dared to disobey him since he was a child, which caused him to be irascible and murderous.
When he was a child, he was fine, but when he grew up, the bad things he did were simply unspeakable, but everyone tolerated him in the face of the old king, and covered up the facts for him in front of the old king.
This fueled his unruliness even more, and after the old king was bedridden, he even said nothing to Yiwu.
No matter how unbearable this prince is, it is a fact that he and the old king are biological father and son, and the officials and soldiers are as sincere to him as they are to the old king.
So the third emperor uncle sadly found that after the old king fell seriously ill, he lost the right to speak, and he was just wearing the hat of a prison country, but he couldn't do anything.
Everyone, including the stewards and servants of the prison palace of the Iwu kingdom, were loyal to the old king, but he was like an outsider in his own house.
Even the letter sent by Gülen to the Third Emperor Uncle was intercepted by the eldest prince, and he insisted that the letter was fake, which made the Third Emperor Uncle also suspicious.
If it weren't for his insistence that a magician be hired to test the location crystal, as stated in the letter, Flandy probably wouldn't have opened the portal to the kingdom of Iwu.
......
After everything was clarified, the people present were embarrassed, and it was also a kind of sadness that such a good king should have such an indisputable son.
Flandi let out a sigh of relief, he had been worried about if another Warcraft King had taken control of the Igo Kingdom.
Listening to the narrative of the Third Emperor Uncle, it seems that it is just the eldest prince's own doing, and it has nothing to do with Warcraft.
Since there was no demonic beast to provoke it, Flandi did not continue to investigate, and after setting up the portal from the teleportation hall to the Igo Kingdom, he returned to the magic tower.
He has never been involved in political affairs, firstly, because of his identity as a magician, and secondly, as long as he participates in political affairs, he has become a subordinate relationship with Gülen, and he can never be greater than Gülen, which may cause a rift in the relationship between the two.
At most, it was some suggestions, and it was Gülen who took the idea. Such a detached identity is actually more free and easy, and it will be more valued.
When Glenn returned to the Magic Tower in the evening, he had a smile on his face that could not be concealed.
"Flandie, do you know? There are a lot of ores that have been mined in the Iwu Kingdom, and with the establishment of the portal, you don't have to worry about ores anymore!"
"Oh? How many?"
"Many, many, it's just a massive, I can't count how many years of accumulation, it used to be just limited by the problem of the road, and it couldn't be transported, but now it's okay, I'm going to change the location of the portal and send it directly to the mine!"
In the afternoon, Flandi only set up a portal in the palace of Iwu to facilitate the passage of the upper echelons.
Since Gülen wants to change the location of the portal, Flandy agrees, after all, it is just to let the high-level walk more, and now that the portal is restricted by the space magic seed, it is better to give priority to practicality.
"Then I'll go and change it tomorrow and see how many mines you mentioned. ”
"Okay, Uncle Sanhuang just said very, very much, I don't know the specific number, it's just right for you to help me take a look. ”
The matter was settled, and the next morning, Flandy went to the teleportation hall.
Since the portal of the Iwu Kingdom is to be sent to the mine, the portal on this side must also be changed to the corresponding position.
Smelting ore is a matter for the Ministry of Engineering, so Flendy dismantles the portal in the teleportation hall and waves open the portal to the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
There's his positioning crystal here, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences is within the range of the Ministry of Engineering, so it's the closest distance.
After arriving at the office building of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of Industry, Dean, was waiting for him here.
Probably yesterday after the council had been discussed, Minister Dean took Flandy to a clearing where the portal was to be set up.
"Excuse me, Frandy. Minister Dean said politely.
"It's not a hassle, it's just a gesture, it's nothing. Frandy said as he set up the portal.
He'd already set up a lot of portals, so it would take a while to set them up.
Together with Minister Dean, a few officials, and some people from the Ministry of Works, there were more than twenty people in total, and they passed through the portal and came to the palace of the Iwu Kingdom.
The eldest prince didn't know what was going on, only the Third Emperor Uncle was waiting for them here.
After the ceremony, Flandy dismantled the portal that had just been set up yesterday, and the Third Emperor sent several officials from the Iwu Kingdom to lead them to the mine.
There are no magic cars here, even these people from the Ministry of Works, with people sent by the Yiwu Kingdom, there are a total of thirty, riding more than a dozen carriages, out of the royal capital, rushing to the mine.
These officials already knew what happened yesterday, and the eldest prince had not returned to the Yiwu Kingdom until now, so even if it was the appointment of the Third Emperor Uncle, they were very cold to Flandi and the others. Along the way, both sides barely said a word.
But Flandi didn't care, he hid a positioning crystal in the underground of the palace when he came today, even if something bad happened to the Iwu Kingdom and smashed the portal, he could bring someone over at any time.
The road from the palace to the mine is relatively long, the speed of the carriage is not fast, and the kingdom of Yiwu really lives up to the title of "mountain lump", just left the royal capital for more than ten miles, and entered the mountains.
