Chapter 198: Spring in Bracada
The serfs of Bracada felt that life had been a little better lately.
Not only did the councillors cut the amount of taxes and offerings, but they even reduced the heavy labor that had to be done each autumn.
At this time of year, they were either digging in the ground with their faces to the loess and their backs to the sky, or carrying huge stones under towering walls or deep caves.
But this autumn, they were surprised to find that there was a surplus of grain in their rice barn, in addition to providing food and clothing for the family and seeds to be planted next year, they were actually surplus enough to make a glass of ale wine from a dilapidated steamer.
This was simply unthinkable in the past.
It is said that His Majesty the Great Checker-Magnus personally issued this decree to celebrate the miracle that fluttered above the Holy Crown.
It was a spaceship so beautiful that it was impossible to look at it directly, and I don't know which old man had the whimsical idea to use a huge balloon to lift a battleship made of gold-plated all over it.
In order to keep the ship from falling, His Majesty Magnus personally used his supreme mana to ignite the Eternal Flame underneath the huge balloon.
But in any case, the change is huge and gratifying.
The barbarian named Tanan has been making trouble for so many years, doesn't he just want to eat a full meal, and now he doesn't have to do anything, and great happiness has fallen from the sky, so it seems that the barbarian is really stupid.
Why do you have to make a fuss about things that you can honestly wait for? Even raising an army to make an enemy of His Majesty Magnus, and in the end it is not a complete defeat, can the bitter fruit of defeat be more delicious than this sour ale?
For this order, the serfs all over the country were grateful to Dade, and for this reason they even ignored the requirements of the reduction order, and spontaneously went to the town hall or the slave owner to hand over all the surplus grain.
His Majesty Magnus was so merciful to his people, and how could we be so greedy for this small profit that we would reduce our offerings to the Wizard King?
The old people often say that the most important thing to be a human being is to learn to be grateful, and judging by the gentle smiling faces of municipal officials and slave owners when they received food and offerings, this must be true.
The Titans testified that these old men had never been so kind.
The world of the poor is like this, and the world of the rich and noble is even more like a sea of warblers singing and dancing.
The crimson carpet stretched from the royal palace of the Holy Crown City to Naga Square, and the commoners and vendors along the streets laughed and laughed, and the bonfires of banquets in the mansions of the nobles and the rich continued all night long.
The warlocks developed a large cylinder, which was mixed with charcoal, saltpeter, and a black powder, covered with brightly colored pieces of paper, and lit with a thin thread, and then erupted like a fairy scattering flowers, and at night, many beautiful flames could be drawn in the night sky.
His Majesty Tommagnus was blessed that even the untouchables living in the slums and the slaves in the mines had the privilege of enjoying this beauty.
"Your Majesty, the miracle has been accomplished, and from now on the land of Bracada will be blessed by the gods forever, whether it is taxes, population, or the growth of the soldiers in the barracks, it will be greatly improved, and your prestige will also fly like a spaceship in the sky of the Antaglisi continent. ”
Brandon knelt under the throne, but chanted like a bard in the square, his slightly trembling shoulders revealing his inner ecstasy.
He led the excavation of the miracle, which lasted several months and bulldozed several hill dwarf tribes, before he finally fulfilled the instructions of His Majesty the Wizard King.
As soon as he thought of the reward that might come later, he immediately felt that the gloom of the defeats he had eaten under Tanan in the past had been swept away.
His Majesty Magnus was so majestic that even when he was simply standing, he was filled with a legendary majesty.
And in comparison, although His Majesty Oros is sitting on the throne, the bright red robe is much inferior.
"You're doing a great job. ”
As soon as Magnus spoke, the entire palace was immediately filled with a spring breeze, and the flickering elemental spirits pulled branches out of the surrounding air like grass seeds, making all the mages present feel a kind of soul-to-soul admiration, which was the caster's spontaneous worship of the existence standing at the pinnacle of magic.
It can be seen that His Majesty is in a very good mood now, the last time he felt this way, Bran registered that he seemed to have just been promoted to the Grand Mage of the court, and now that many years have passed, His Majesty's face is still the same, but he has begun to pull out white threads even from his beard.
"What do you think I should reward them?"
Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears nervously, but no one dared to respond, everyone knew who this sentence was asking for, because of the loving and pitying tone in the words.
There is only one person in the world who can be treated so gently by His Majesty Magnus - His Majesty Oros.
Unlike most of the legends circulating on the mainland, Bracada's top bracade all knew that His Majesty Oros was not a puppet of His Majesty Magnus, on the contrary, His Majesty Magnus, who was easily ignorant of the world, gave His Majesty Oros great freedom and power, and even the war with the barbarians was decided by His Majesty Oros.
Sometimes Brandon looked at the handsome and beautiful non-human face on the throne and was jealous, UU read the book .net But like all the nobles of Bracada, he also kept silent with interest.
Not to mention the favor of His Majesty Magnus, His Majesty Oros himself has the magic power of a seventeenth-level red-robed archmage, except for His Majesty Magnus, who is divine and majestic and cannot be offended, even the Titan Giant has to bow his proud head in front of him.
"Look, I'm a little tired. Olos said lightly with his hand on his forehead, he didn't seem to be in high spirits.
"What's wrong? Did you fail to attack the eighteenth-layer magic net?"
Magnus grasped his wrist with concern, and a soft light blue light covered Oros's body like a thin veil, and the people below quickly buried their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe when they looked at their noses and noses.
Oros withdrew his palm.
"Didn't the treasure merchants roaming the continent appear in the Holy Crown City, let them pick their favorite ones at will, and the library of the Magic Guild can also be opened. ”
As if knowing that Magnus didn't like these trifles, Euros finally made an arrangement.
"But. ”
Hearing these two words, everyone was shocked, obviously someone was going to be unlucky.
"Brandon, you can only choose one of them, because you haven't given me an account of Tanan's affairs until now. ”
Magnus smiled, and he looked at the young man on the throne with a childlike look of affection.
"Go ahead, so be it. ”
When Magnus gently waved the wide sleeves of the sacred robes, everyone left the palace backwards with their heads bowed without squinting, until the tall staircase completely blocked the portico of the palace, and they dared to turn around in the setting sun.
Of course, except for the chief archmage of the court, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
