539 Mercenary Rebellion

This is definitely the pinnacle of alchemy history, not to mention such an exquisite design and craftsmanship, it is difficult to find a second copy of the material alone, old Louis salivated at the corner of his mouth, and he really wanted to grab this puppet and take it for himself, but suddenly he thought of a question, and couldn't help muttering: "No, this puppet seems to have shortcomings," and then he began to think carefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But I heard Sheng Xuan say beside him: "Don't think about it, you lack a puppet heart." "That's the core of a puppet, and if it lacks a puppet, no matter how precise it is, it can't complete complex movements, and a puppet that can't move is like scrap metal.

"How could he make such a mistake with his knowledge of alchemy and puppets?" Old Louis wondered in his heart, but he couldn't think of a reason after all, so he could only ask: "You know that you lack the heart of a puppet, why didn't you refine it?" Could it be that you don't have the right materials? Or maybe there is another reason, and your armor is clearly a woman, you kid can't be a princess of Omar, and plan to use it as a bride price to ask for a marriage." ā€

"And!" Sheng Xuan scoffed at this, but as his eyes fell on the armor, his face suddenly became infinitely gentle, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, as if what he saw in his eyes was the woman in his heart, because the mask of the armor was refined by the person in his memory, and that person was Phantom Cai'er, but he didn't want to mention it to anyone.

"Hey, I said you kid must have someone in mind. "I seem to have told you, haven't I said it?" Sheng Xuan seemed to be talking to himself, and then he stopped talking, stepped forward and gently stroked the armor, and then the light flashed and he was already in the ring.

"What did you say? Hey, boy, don't go, come and make it clear, why don't you have the heart of a puppet, who did you refine it for?" No matter how old Louis asked, Sheng Xuan was unmoved, and always kept silent, but carefully adjusted the alchemy circle on the ground.

With the transformation of more than a dozen centers of the magic circle, the entire alchemy magic circle completely changed its appearance, and after checking that it was correct, he casually took out a large piece of refined iron, mixed with a small amount of Mithril and threw it into the magic circle.

After a flash of light, a whole hundred arrows appeared in front of him, these special arrows were half a foot long, and the runes on them flickered, and old Louis saw that his eyes suddenly burst out, and he exclaimed: "This, this, this, isn't it a demon-breaking arrow?

You must know that all the various demon-breaking arrows you have seen before are all single-arm refining, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you must be a high-level mage or above to refine, and the requirements are very strict, so each demon-breaking arrow is worth a lot of money.

Although Shengxuan's refining still costs a lot of magic crystals, the magic crystal energy is more fully utilized, and the most valuable thing is that the speed is outrageous, in just ten minutes, a hundred magic arrows have been formed, and the two of them hurriedly put the arrows on the seal, so as not to pass the energy, so that they have the heart to check the effect of refining.

This look is even more surprising, in the past, the Demon Breaking Arrow was only on the magic array due to the pursuit of the effect of breaking the demon, and now because the runes can be compressed to the minimum through the magic circle, this arrow is also fastened with sharp, penetrating, bleeding, tearing, accelerating and so on.

Now it's time to test the power, Sheng Xuan took the bow and arrow from the hands of the guards in the house, because he couldn't go out of the city, he simply tested it in the house, waved his hand to cut the original arrow into a suitable length, and pressed the newly refined arrowhead, he couldn't help frowning slightly, because the arrow was too long, the whole arrow was a little top-heavy, it seems that the tail feathers have to be adjusted, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced, but it will not affect the test shot.

The place in the house is spacious, from the front hall to the backyard, Sheng Xuan set up a magic shield on the backyard wall, but it still feels unsafe, after all, this is the royal capital, a densely populated place, in case this arrow penetrates the protective shield and flies outside to hurt people, just for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he fixed a few stainless steel shields in the protective cover.

Standing on the roof of the front hall, aiming at the shield by the courtyard wall, this distance is a hundred feet, Sheng Xuan calmly pulled the bow into a full moon, and then released his finger The arrow suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and flew out. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust rolled up, which frightened the old Louis who was watching next to him trembled and flew out.

Where the dust flew, the magic shield was completely penetrated, several stainless steel shields were torn apart, half of the courtyard wall had turned into dust, and a terrifying pit on the ground was more than enough. Is this still the effect of an arrow? Old Louis saw his neck shrink, and if the arrow was aimed at him, it was unknown whether his puppet would be able to stop it.

Then his heart tightened, and he floated into the air, nervously looking around, for fear that the flying rubble and other objects would hurt the civilians. At this moment, a guard suddenly rushed to report: "Lord of the city, Your Majesty is in a hurry!"

This sentence suddenly made Old Louie's face bitter: "The bitter lord came to the door so soon?" Sheng Xuan also smiled bitterly, but he didn't believe that it was because of this, unless the king was nearby, how could he know so quickly?

"What's so anxious?" "The subordinates don't know, but someone came to say that His Majesty is in a hurry, so the city lord should hurry up and change his clothes to meet him." "Okay, I'll clean up and go right away," Sheng Xuan pointed to the courtyard wall, "I just tested the effect of a bow martial art, but I didn't expect it to be like this, clean up here, if you hurt someone, you can wait for good words to comfort you, and pay as appropriate." "The mansion is full of royal eyeliner, and he doesn't want to be discovered by refining the Demon Breaking Arrow by himself, so he then said that he is practicing martial arts.

Sheng Xuan went to see the king, leaving old Louis to command the servants in the palace to repair the courtyard wall, looking at the torn shield like rags on the ground, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but mutter: "This little monster, the things that are refined are also monsters, it has such terrifying power, this speed, this killing, I am afraid that the primary real realm will not dare to be hard-connected." ā€

If he knew that this Demon Breaking Arrow was a reference to the dragon slaying thorn that Sheng Xuan had seen in the swamp before, he would not be so surprised. After all, this is only a fixed target, and it is a close-range attack, just ask that strong man will stand there stunned and wait to be shot? Not to mention that the dragon slayer spur has a tracking effect, which is incomparable to this kind of demon-breaking arrow.

Sheng Xuan went and came back quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahaha, God really helped me, I didn't expect God to help me so quickly, and give me this excellent opportunity so quickly." Old Louis heard this and hurried over, and winked at him, and the palace was full of guards and servants, all of whom were arranged by the royal family, and perhaps these words reached Nicholas's ears in a few moments.

"What the hell is going on?" said old Louie. "The mercenary city is in chaos, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, there was a mess in the mercenary city at this time, and the chaos is not small, Julio has no ability to suppress it, once it expands, I am afraid that the entire western part of Omar will fall into division, His Majesty the King has no time to separate, so he has to let me go to quell the chaos, what he is most afraid of is that Calais will take the opportunity to control the mercenary city, then it will be more than worth the loss. ā€

"How can this be? Isn't Mercenary City under Julio's watchful eye all the time?, how can it suddenly be chaotic?" Old Louis feared that this was a conspiracy. "I can't tell the specific reason, I won't know until I go back and see it, but this time His Majesty the King not only quelled the rebellion with thunder and strangled a large number of nobles who participated in the rebellion, but also made up his mind to abolish the principality, as if to abolish all the thirteen principalities, some grand dukedoms were permanently abolished, and only a few were able to retain the titles, but the power was also much less than before.

After the abolition, the duchy was to be divided into fifty-three provinces, which were to be governed by the king and appointed governors, and of course the parliament was abolished completely, and most of the members were exterminated, and the rest were reduced to commoners. The royal family would have a temple branch in each province to educate the populace. Actually, I think part of it is also to oversee the governor. The temple branch retains the guards, and Akari is responsible for the safety of the clergy, but in reality it is equivalent to hanging a sharp sword above the governor's head.

All the nobles were not allowed to raise private armies, and the local garrison was only responsible for local stability, so that the provincial generals only had the right to local security, and if they wanted to mobilize the army, they must have a tiger talisman and the king's handwriting, and when they needed to be transferred, it would depend on the news from the temple. This was also diluting the power of the Governor, so that the Governor lost his military power and was only responsible for local affairs.

In this way, it is equivalent to saying that the military and political power of the whole of Omar is completely in the hands of the king, but Nicholas did not want to be an autocratic tyrant, and at the same time established the provinces, he also set up institutions of study in various places - the national colleges, which allowed the discussion of political affairs, and the colleges established the office of the church, and had the right and duty to listen to the opinions of the people and report them to the royal family.

Although no one knows what the specific effect will be of participating in politics with the people, this measure has been supported by the vast majority, and those few dare not openly oppose it, because they are all degraded aristocrats. And this move also has the intention of supervising the governor and the temple, so that the three parties can contain each other, and presumably no one dares to move again.

This is only a change in the rights of the upper class, and then the royal family also ** a series of land policies, clearly ordering that the land in the hands of princes and nobles at all levels shall not exceed the corresponding title, and the local tyrants and chaebols must also dispose of the land in their hands according to the corresponding price, and the land will be nationalized, and the provincial officials at all levels will distribute it to the peasants for cultivation as appropriate, and the land tax will be directly nationalized.

"It seems to be a big move, the nobles everywhere are only afraid that they now hate the king, so that they lose their inherent rights and wealth, but they don't dare to openly resist, they are afraid that the rebellion in the mercenary city is instigated by these nobles, once the matter is big, I am afraid that the nobles from all over the country will respond, no wonder he does not dare to transfer people to the mercenary city to quell the rebellion. Old Louis said in a low voice, "But this Nicholas is really a generation of heroes, and he will have such courage to implement a new policy in this stall, which is equivalent to cutting off the flesh and curing sores will hurt the vitality, but in this way, the people have benefited, so that the nobles who were originally high in the sky no longer dare to oppress the people at will, the royal family is considered to have killed the nobles of the whole country and changed the hearts of the people, as long as they get through this difficulty, I am afraid that it will not take a few years, Omar will really become strong." ā€

Seeing that Shengxuan didn't talk, old Louis knew that he didn't want to discuss Omar's political affairs too much, so he asked, "When can we leave?" "I'm afraid it will take three or five days at the earliest, and the army must prepare military rations and equipment for the action, and arrange for the vanguard to escort the materials in advance, the passage documents issued by the royal family, as well as the authorization of the city lord, military charms, and a bunch of trivial matters. Sheng Xuan sighed.

"So the king still doesn't want to let you go, I'm afraid that if you let go, you will be a dragon swimming in the sea, and there will be nowhere to find it. Old Louis smiled. "I can't say that, who let us not have a mage in our hands? In the end, we didn't ask to go to him?" "Even if you ask him again, you don't need to go there yourself, the lord of the city. Old Louis smiled happily, and his smile was a little sly.

In the past few days, Sheng Xuan has been running to the palace to get back all kinds of documents, and he has also tested the king's attitude several times to see if he can borrow the mage, but the answer is still waiting, which makes him feel a little disappointed, but after all, he no longer has to be detained in the royal capital, which makes him feel very good.

The day finally came, and the orc army was ready to go, coming with 100,000 and returning with a full 300,000, including more than 200,000 slaves who had defected from the battlefield, but it was also a force to be reckoned with.

Unexpectedly, the king actually took his ministers to send him off in person, and inevitably exchanged pleasantries, and Nicholas's eyes flashed with water, obviously very reluctant, which made Shengxuan also feel a little nostalgic. The team raised the newly customized banner of the mercenary city lord, a golden leaf waved in the wind, the orcs drove into the distance with neat steps, Sheng Xuan rode on the horse and couldn't help but look back at the royal capital, look at the temple, the eyes were not nostalgia, but a little confused. He does not have the ambition of a hegemon, but he has been pushed to his current position, but his heart will never change, at least not completely changed now, and the royal family of Omar has given him a different feeling, maybe just a sense of belonging.

Thinking about what Nicholas had done to him, thinking about the mansion in the city, it gave him a sense of home, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart that the rebellion in Mercenary City had come in time, and if it was a few months later, maybe he would really be reluctant to leave.

Just when the king returned with the guards and Shengxuan planned to return to the team, Bienrees suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Shengxuan's ear: "Be careful Julio, this fox family is by no means as simple as you know." As he spoke, he stuffed a notebook, apparently for some years.

Sheng Xuan was stunned, and before he could ask anything, Bienrees had already ridden away, leaving an old back chasing the dazzling royal banner. Old Louis came over to ask a few words, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The royal uncle and nephew are really well-intentioned, knowing that you and Julio are friends, and they don't forget to plant a seed of doubt in your heart at this time." ā€

This may or may not be true, Sheng Xuan is reluctant to comment on it, but he has a faint feeling in his heart that what Bienris said is right, since he first entered the Grand Duke's Mansion and saw the portrait of the ancestor of the Julio family on the wall, he had a faint feeling, this feeling has not disappeared over the years, but has become more intense, this family is definitely not that simple, but has never had the opportunity to understand the secret behind him.
