Hera Kingdom, a country road This path is a dirt road, usually it is better, when it rains, it will be muddy, and if it is sunny weather, the soil is dry, go faster, it is easy to shake up dust, if it is a fast horse to run through, for other passers-by, usually, people passing by this road will consciously light their steps, even if it is not for the sake of others, in order to breathe more freely, they will pay attention.

It was another sunny morning, and there were a lot of people walking around on this country road, because at noon the sun would show its scorching side, and people liked to travel before noon.

Talking, laughing, or chatting is one of the ways to relieve boredom on the road.

At this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the other side of the road, and then, several fast horses from far and near, almost grazing the bodies of these passers-by galloped by, because they were in a hurry, so that the horses galloped extremely fast, not only frightened some passers-by, but also brought up a large piece of dust.

"Ahh

"Phew, so much dirt, nothing to run so fast?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

While the dust is everywhere, there are not a few people who suffer.

This is the middle section of the two towns and villages, and at this time of the morning, there are many pedestrians walking on the road, so there are not a few people who choke on the dust.

"Phew, that's unlucky, who are these people?" A passer-by choked on the dust spat on the ground and said depressedly. "Shhhh The young man spoke in a particularly loud voice, and as soon as his words fell, an old man beside him immediately whispered persuasion.

"Royal knights?" Hearing this, the young man's cold sweat flowed down.

In the past, knights killed civilians only needed to pay compensation money, and did not need to be punished by justice, with the development of the times, the e-book uctxt

Even so, if you kill a civilian, it is impossible for the other party to resist the death.

The young man looked at the direction where the fast horses were going, and asked the old man next to him in some surprise: "This is the royal knights?" I rarely see them in normal times, let alone rush like this, what's the matter today? Running so fast, I don't even know how to hide on the road, is it ...... Something big is going to happen in the kingdom?"

The royal knights usually pay great attention to their appearance and demeanor, and rarely do they are so embarrassed and in a hurry.

Hearing the young man's question, the old man actually felt strange, and he said, "I'm also a little strange, what is the big thing that can make these knights who usually pay attention to etiquette and demeanor change?"

"Is there going to be a war?"

"Won't you?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he knows what a carpenter knows!"

"Then tell me why they were in such a hurry, and what news did they send?" Some of the pedestrians around them, after hearing their conversation, were also curious about what happened to the passing knights. And while these men were talking, the knights were already galloping far away.

"Captain, don't you have to rush like this, don't you have already asked the magician to send it with a magic letter? While galloping, a knight couldn't help but catch up with the man in front and asked loudly.

The sound of horses' hooves is too loud, and if the sound is small, the other party can't hear it at all.

"What do you know? The letter was sent, but it was in the form of a magic letter, but we knights and magicians are two systems, and the magic letter is just a quick report, and the official letterhead and official document are reported by us to the royal capital. Moreover, if it's just a magic letter and we don't convey it, then what else do we need to do in the future?" The knight at the front said coldly without turning his head.

"That's right...... We arrived when we arrived. ^^UC eBook_ Premiere" asked the knight nodded and said.

"Don't talk, everyone is urging me to move quickly, and I'll rest when I get to the place!"

"Yes!" Hearing the captain's order, all the knights shouted in unison, the horses' hooves were raised, the dust was flying, and all the knights hurried away.

The kingdom of Eske, the royal capital at this time, in the royal palace, everything is normal in the corridor, there is a red carpet, and a few steps apart, there is a lampstand.

It is said that there are 900 lamps in the entire palace, which can illuminate the entire palace.

The nobles in the palace chatted leisurely, and only the young attendants were respectful.

The nobles of the court do not have much territory, they are actually the talent pool raised by the royal family, maintaining the operation of the royal family, after hundreds of years, they have formed a huge scale, and of course, they have accumulated strong strength. Farther away, in a hall, where the nobles of the higher ranks chatted, and inside, where the king's office worked.

"Recently, there have been insect infestations in coastal countries!" The king read the document and sighed.

"Your Majesty, our Aske Kingdom is not very affected, and the situation in the royal realm is good, and there will not be much loss in all aspects of the harvest this year. A minister bowed.

"What about the counties?"

"The dukes, marquises, and counts, there has not yet been a report, and it is evident that the situation is still under control. The minister mentioned lightly, and did not say much.

Under the feudal system, the king only needs to manage his royal territory, in fact, most of the territory of each county is not under the jurisdiction of the king and the royal family, and it is also the business of the nobles in case of disaster.

The king nodded, said nothing, and went on with his work.

"Oh? After receiving a magical letter from below, the king took the letter from the hand of his attendant, carefully tore open the cover, unfolded its contents, and read it carefully.

Magical letters are indeed quick to receive, but they are not without their drawbacks.

The first is that it is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it, even if the intelligence agency of the royal family uses magic letters to deliver every document and message.

The second is to use magic to transmit, and the materials used have a certain *, and the number of words that can be passed over is a certain * every time.

It is precisely because of these two shortcomings that even though magic letters have existed for many years, they still have not been popularized, and magic letters will be used when sending urgent messages or documents, but when there is a lot of information, they still need to be delivered manually.

"You go down first. Looking at the attendants standing in front of him, the king waved his hand and let him go down, and at this time, there were only a few attendants and ministers in the main hall, standing far away, and the king bowed his head and began to read the letter.

At this glance, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was not that there was anything important, but just a change in the territory.

"It's just some new specialties coming!" The king murmured, a relaxed smile appearing, there was a new legend in the kingdom that kept him on the lookout.

"Your Majesty, what pleases you?" At this time, some of the nobles came in from outside, for they had been approved by the king to walk in the chamber, and today was the day when they had come to consult with the king about the latest matters of government, and the attendants outside did not communicate to the king, but they themselves went in.

As soon as I entered, I heard the king's laughter.

"It's nothing, someone reported to me, Tetashaw Ling, three new varieties of fruit have been cultivated, and they are on the market, it is said that the response is very good, do you want to order a few orders?" The king asked casually, right to pastime and rest.

"New varieties of fruit?" Several nobles looked at the king.

These nobles have very high titles, all above the earl, all of them are the king's old ministers, and they know the king's mind very well, at this time, it is rare to see the king so happy, so he said casually: "Your Majesty, the dragon fruit that came out last time was good, and this time there is a new variety?"

"Well, the lord of the Tertashaw Territory is His Royal Highness Luo Meng, the three new varieties that have recently come out, maybe they were cultivated after he entered the Holy Domain, it is said that these three fruits have a sweet taste, and they also have the effect of prolonging life when eaten often!" At this, the king smiled and said, "I am going to order some and taste them to see how it goes, and in a little time the details of these three fruits will be presented to me, and I will take a closer look." ”

"Then our family, we have to order some too. These nobles said casually, and after a few words, they turned to the topic: "Your Majesty, there is finally a formal decision on the issue of compensation for the last war. ”

The nobleman who spoke was slightly older.

"It's been five years, is there finally a verdict?" The king sighed and said, this is the battle against the elves, in which Prince Husenya was killed, followed by a large royal fleet.

"Your Majesty, by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest, the official verdict will be in your hands. The nobleman said softly, apparently understanding the king's feelings: "But the specific compensation has already come out, and I will tell you." ”

“...... Say it!"

"Obey the order, the three coastal kingdoms will pay compensation, first of all, financially, about 1.2 million pensions, in five years. ”

"The kingdom of Derbit, which is close to us, will cede to us a territory north of Mount Anlu, which is about a thousand square kilometers, and of course, it will also be compensated by other kingdoms. ”

"In terms of trade and tariffs, there are preferential practices. ”

After saying these three main words, the nobleman bowed his head slightly, and waited for the king's dispatch.

A thousand square kilometers is not small, and although it is relatively poor, the king smiled bitterly and said, "Count this territory, set aside a third, and give it to the meritorious men." ”

"Yes!" This nobleman has fulfilled his order, which is also the right word, and many court nobles are looking forward to the territory!

Although this kind of territory is very small, it is also a territory, with a territory, a noble family, it is worthy of its name, perhaps, in the future, it can become a rightful baron, a viscount!
