Chapter 135: Currency
While Artis was calmly gathering his army in the north, he was in the south at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Beneath a huge defensive line, a handsome young king wearing a crown looked at the anxious messengers in front of him with a grim face.
"Your Majesty Hadi, under the impact of the demonic beasts that continue to pour out from the south, three of our seven defense lines in the southern region have been broken through at this time, and the remaining four defense lines are also about to collapse, and they are about to be unable to hold on. ”
A knight knelt down: "By now, there can be no more hesitation!"
Listening to the knight's return, Hardy's face turned pale.
He looked at the many ministers around him who knelt down at this time, and a sense of helplessness rose in his heart. But then, he looked in front of him, and the expedited orders that had been piled up like a mountain at this time, and the original hesitation slowly became firm at this moment.
Finally, he smiled bitterly, "Get ready, send someone to build the altar." ”
"Now, the situation is not something we can easily manage. Go and prepare for the sacrifice and invite our ancestral gods. ”
Hearing that he finally gave the order, everyone present was shocked, and the original worry about the situation at this time gradually disappeared and was replaced by an exhilaration.
After all, the royal court was established for a thousand years. The legend of Krya, the ancestral god of the royal court, has spread in this world and has supreme prestige. As long as you ask for it, you will definitely be able to salvage the situation at this time.
"But, Your Majesty, about the sacrifices used in the sacrifices. The knight who spoke first spoke suddenly, with a hesitant look on his face.
"Hey, wasn't there a rebellion of those nobles before, and they were imprisoned?"
Hadi had a grim look on his face: "You now go and order that the entire noble clan of those rebellious nobles be put to death as a sacrifice for blood sacrifices." ”
"Presumably, being able to die for the royal court is not a disappointing of their aristocratic status. ”
This is to take advantage of the opportunity to exterminate the rebels. Previously, because the eldest prince and the second prince suddenly stood up, a large number of nobles responded and rebelled against his rule. Now is the time for reckoning.
This method is very cruel. Listening to King Hadi's words, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts at this method of slaughtering the entire clan.
But it is a necessary means. Moreover, the death of this group of hostile nobles can also make room for this group of king's supporters, especially the large number of territories and titles vacated after the slaughter of these families, which is even more heartwarming.
So, with the order given, on that day, a large number of nobles were forcibly arrested among the countless city-states.
Not only the head of the family himself, but also his entire family, and even those branches that had left their ancestral homes were not spared, and they were arrested one by one and used as sacrifices.
A month later, Hardy stepped onto the altar and looked down.
With his order, a little bit of blood gradually soaked in the stone brick floor, and a corpse was sent into the center.
Faintly, Hardy's ears surrounded a crying and cursing, and wailing.
But listening to this, Hardy smiled coldly, not moved by this at all. It was only as the sacrifice began, and he walked to the altar.
"Fathers, bless your children. ”
This thought flashed through his mind, and then under the leadership of some sacrifices on the side, he silently completed the sacrifice.
When the last step of the sacrifice was completed, under the gaze of everyone, the place began to change.
A gust of wind suddenly blew up, sweeping the ground with blood. Then all the blood began to boil, gradually evaporated, and coalesced towards the center of the altar. At the same time, there was also blood light on the countless corpses, and then gradually withered, as if all the blood qi essence had been absorbed, turning into pure blood sacrifice power and condensing forward.
All the forces condensed, slowly converging into one place through a traction that ordinary people could not feel, nourishing one of the strong, majestic wills.
This will is strong, although there is a blood light on his body, but at the same time, there is also a strange brilliance, and a light of the world surrounds him.
"Huh?"
As the power of the blood sacrifice from outside gradually poured into his body, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Has the situation become so serious?"
As he woke up, a little of his will descended on the altar, and he quickly understood the current situation, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"That's fine. ”
He let out a long sigh, and then a great majesty began to permeate, as if an ancient king, awakened from a distant slumber, began to show his might.
"Such a huge majesty, is it Chrisa who has woken up!" In the imperial capital, countless powerhouses were terrified, sensing the power that almost shattered the sky, and they felt extremely terrifying for a while.
But in the next moment, the huge aura disappeared, and in an instant, it cut through the isolation of space, and Kris came to the Southern Regions.
He looked at the countless surging tides in front of him, with nostalgia and hatred in his eyes.
Suddenly, he no longer hesitated, and the powerful essence was unabashedly stimulated, and in an instant, a terrifying force erupted, and it was directly suppressed.
"Roar!"
At this moment, countless demon tides roared in the sky, with fear in their eyes, sensing that an irresistible force was attacking.
Among them, there are even third-level demonic beasts, roaring wildly in them, and their huge power almost shatters the earth.
However, none of this has done much. Under Chrisya's full blow, the land below was directly broken, and under the shroud of the powerful bloody realm, all the demonic beasts began to be corroded, and their bodies began to wither, leaving only a dried corpse. After that, as the last few powerful Demonic Beasts of the third level fell to the ground, the Demonic Tide on this piece of land was directly cleared.
・・・
It was only after a few months that news from the southern regions reached the principality of Adisus in the north.
"A few months ago, when the Demon Tide broke through the royal court's defense line, the king of the royal court, Hadi, brazenly launched a blood sacrifice and summoned the royal court's ancestral god Krya. Under the action of the ancestral god of the royal court, the demon tide in the southern region was directly suppressed, and then the royal court led the army to drive the remaining demon tide out of the southern region. ”
In front of Artis, a tall messenger spoke quietly, and Bill stood beside him.
Sure enough, in the face of this situation, Wang Tingzu God still took action. ”
Artis sighed, and then asked rhetorically, "What about the royal court, and what happened to the previous rebellion?"
"Because the king slaughtered most of the rebellious families before, and the royal court ancestor god took action. In the royal court, the eldest prince and the second prince, who had originally started the rebellion, have been isolated. Except for a few diehards, the rest of the nobles who originally supported them gave up their support and remained neutral. ”
The messenger continued.
Hearing this, Bill stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have been in contact with these rebels before, and in the name of some caravans and nobles, we have privately financed them. ”
"Well, well done. Artis nodded.
"But now, I'm afraid that the original funding is no longer enough. The longer they support it, the better it will be for us. After a while, he instructed Bill, who was beside him.
Hearing this, Bill nodded first, and then said, "But in this way, I'm afraid we will be exposed." There are also some strongholds that were previously operated in the south, which I am afraid will be scrapped. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Artis shook his head: "By now, they have no way out. Even if you know that it is we who have been funding them, what you should take is not to be accepted. ”
"Something else, how are you prepared now?" he asked rhetorically, then looked at Barton standing below.
Feeling his gaze, Barton walked up with a smile, with some excitement in his eyes, excitement: "Your Majesty, there are already preliminary results." ”
He ordered the guards to lift a chest up from below, and then took out a very shimmering coin from it.
"After years of research since His Majesty's order, the finished product has finally been produced. ”
Barton sighed, and then continued.
"This newly minted coin of ours is made from a mixture of several different metals and the divine power of the sacrifice, and is made with divine magic. Not only does it look gorgeous on the outside, but it is also very hard because of the blessing of divine magic, and it will never wear out in daily life unless it is deliberately damaged. ”
Artis took it and looked at it, then pressed slightly.
With the slight force of his palm, the coin in his hand suddenly began to deform, but it did not break directly.
He nodded in satisfaction.
You know, even if he doesn't use his strength. But as the reincarnation of a god, he himself is equivalent to an ancestral god. Being able to do so without being directly abolished in his hands is already very hard.
"What about the manufacturing costs?" he asked rhetorically after a moment.
"Very nice. Barton responded with some excitement: "Because the raw materials are just some metals that can be found everywhere, the production cost of these currencies is very low, although the use of magic is required in the production, but only the red robe sacrifice is enough." ”
"Moreover, not only is it easy to produce, but the output is also very high. In addition, because of the unique magic encryption used in it, if you don't understand the specific technique in advance, then unless it is a strong person of the level of the high priest, it can't be imitated. ”
"Even if the high priest wants to imitate it, because he doesn't understand the specific method, the output is definitely not high. ”
Hearing this, Artis nodded in satisfaction.
Originally, due to the coexistence of countless city-states on the land and the underdevelopment of commerce, almost every city-state had its own currency. This situation continued after the collapse of the major city-states, and to a certain extent, it also brought a lot of chaos.
Therefore, in order to change this situation, a few years ago, Artis ordered the development of a new currency, hoping to unify the domestic currency.
"Fortunately, although it doesn't have the same technology as in the previous life, it can still be made with the support of divine magic. ”
"Even, to a certain extent, the magic has to be done better. ”
Seeing the several currencies that Barton had put out in front of him, Artis thought silently in his heart.
"Your Majesty, what should be the names of these four currencies?" At this time, Barton in front of him looked at Artis and said.
Then, Artis lowered his head and pondered, thinking of his past life, and a bad taste welled up in his heart.
"Let's call it copper, silver, gold and amethyst, and the specific conversion ratio will be mentioned later. ”
Speaking of which, he looked at Barton and Bill in front of him and couldn't help but smile again.
