Chapter 718: Another Heir (10,000 Words Chapter Asking for Subscription)
In the evening, the setting sun shines on the streets of Port Carlin, south of the mainland of Faerun, casting a golden veil over this historic ancient city.
The bustling crowds of people in the streets and markets, the hoarse cries of vendors, the haggling of merchants, and the laughter and scolding of customers in pubs, inns, restaurants, etc., all form a picture of prosperity.
As the second largest city in the West Coast Empire, as well as a cultural, educational, and political center, its importance cannot be overstated.
If the capital city of Ascatra is the heart of the empire, feeding the empire through economic, financial, trade, and manufacturing, then Port Carlin is the brain center.
All policy making, budgeting, official appointments, dismissals, rewards and punishments, repeal and promulgation of decrees, and deployment of the army are all done here.
Although many of the iconic buildings in Port Carlin, which can be called "heritage" for thousands of years, have been extensively damaged and forcibly demolished during the massive expansion and remodeling, the overall style has not changed.
In particular, the splendid royal palace, which was rebuilt and renovated after the restoration of Shane VII, is almost the same as during the Shane Dynasty.
This made countless Karin shirts involuntarily recall the glorious history and civilization that they almost ruled the entire west coast of the Faren continent in the past, and then they are full of a sense of identity and belonging to the current empire that has the royal blood of Shane through marriage.
After all, the current huge territory of the West Coast Empire is exactly what they have been longing for in their hearts but have not been able to achieve.
This alone makes the vast majority of proud Karin shirts support the legitimate right of the current Emperor Zuo Si and his descendants from the bottom of their hearts.
Not to mention a strong centralized government, an efficient and clean bureaucracy and judicial system, and rising incomes and living standards due to the widespread spread of knowledge, technology, and magic.
Some scholars have even declared that the existing rule and various institutions of the West Coast Empire are the most ideal and perfect, worthy of the name "the end of history", and that there will never be a surpassing it.
The age of giants and dragons, the civilization established by the elves in antiquity, the Nethrel Empire, and the Supreme Imasca Empire all had to stand aside in the face of the newly rising West Coast Empire.
As for the empire like Mulholland and Ense under theocracy, they are not even worthy of lifting shoes for the latter.
For this reason, they also compiled several books, and the academic circles of the entire Faren continent remembered fierce discussions and debates.
Facts have once again proved that Mu Qiang is human nature and instinct.
When you're strong enough, it's right to do whatever you do.
Even if there is a problem, someone will find reasons and excuses for you, and give reasonable explanations and various legal basis.
This ideology caters to the subtle sense of pride and superiority of the people of the Karin region and the entire West Coast Empire, and they gradually begin to develop an identity and cultural identity.
And recently, it was rumored that Queen Aisha gave birth to a god-like heir, which made everyone even more excited.
Both commoners and nobles alike anxiously awaited the official announcement from the royal family, as well as the gender and name of the heir.
Some cities have even prepared in advance to hold a grand celebration as soon as the information is announced, and then invite artists to make sculptures to commemorate the great occasion.
But what puzzled everyone was that so much time had passed, but the royal family had not moved at all, as if the prince or princess had not been born at all.
There were even rumors that the heir had died due to some accident.
But soon a scholar came forward to refute the rumors.
After all, it was a powerful god-like power, how could it die prematurely.
In short, the speculation of the outside world has already evolved into dozens of versions, so that people are not sure whether it is true or false.
Under normal circumstances, at this time, the cabinet or Queen Aisha should stand up and issue an official announcement to refute the rumors anyway.
But they obviously have a last resort.
The reason why no official announcement has been made until now is mainly because the little Anne that everyone saw at the beginning was first an energy mass that could not be touched, and then it was constantly changing in the form of humans, devils, dragons, etc.
Before her gender could be confirmed, she was taken away by the Goddess of Magic at Midnight.
Even Aisha, as a mother, doesn't know whether she has given birth to a son or a daughter, and she is not even sure what it is.
This leaves it to the outside world to speculate on how to announce the specific information of the heir to the empire.
Right now, the queen was lazily lying in a rocking chair, tasting fresh fruits flown in from the Northland, flipping through the ledgers and earnings reports in her hand, and after several minutes she asked without raising her head: "What is the total income of the royal family this quarter?" β
"Strip away all the expenses, and make a total of more than thirty million gold coins, Your Majesty. Interdimensional trading and magic-related operations account for more than 60 percent of this. β
The young maid with long black hair and a translucent sexy gauze skirt proudly reported a number that shocked and envied the rulers of most countries in the Faren Continent.
Because this is not the overall financial income of the West Coast Empire, it is only the income of the royal estate, even if it is completely squandered, there is no problem.
Being able to participate in the management of such a huge industry is an honor and a capital to boast about in the eyes of the vast majority of people.
Of course, the women who are qualified to enter the harem to serve the queen are basically from great nobles.
Since the Karin Shirt region is not monogamous, men can not only marry multiple wives, but also raise hundreds of concubines, so the number of children is quite staggering.
Some wealthy and powerful middle-aged and elderly men can even have more than triple-digit sons and daughters, as well as more grandchildren and granddaughters.
In order to follow the ancient tradition, and to bring their families closer to the royal family, many important ministers and nobles would try to send the youngest and most beautiful women of the family to the palace.
These well-educated, fair-skinned and beautiful young aristocratic women juggle both.
One of them is the role of the lady-in-waiting in front of her, which is to assist the royal family in managing their vast fortunes, and may occasionally have to sacrifice her beauty for espionage.
The other is to fulfill the emperor's own desires while acting as a secretary and clerical worker.
They are not beautiful vases in the traditional sense of the word, and they gain power by selling their bodies and their beauty.
Quite the opposite!
These women are truly aristocratic elites, with professional knowledge and skills, and they are also one of the few women who have had access to power in a male-dominated society in which the Karin shirt has been dominated for thousands of years.
The inhabitants of Port Carlin even gave them a very apt nickname - "Viper".
Although it looks beautiful and not very threatening, a single bite can be fatal.
And these women also gladly accepted the title of "viper", and even specially customized snake-shaped amulets to wear on their bodies to show their unique identity.
As an empress who likes to read and has been personally trained by Sean VII, it is naturally impossible for Aisha not to know the history and origin of the "Viper", and she also knows that it is one of the few forces that can be controlled by herself.
So she used some means to win over these young women to consolidate her position in the harem.
Although Zuo Si had not met other women in the palace so far, Aisha, who was accustomed to the herds of powerful male wives and concubines, had already begun to plan for a rainy day.
And a thorough grasp of the royal revenue is one of the most direct and effective means.
After all, although Her Majesty the Queen seems gentle, quiet and bookish, she is not a silly white sweet, and knows how to control power to the maximum extent within her husband's permission.
Although she does not interfere with the cabinet, the executive and the judicial system, she has firmly held the power of the harem in her own hands.
"As is customary, two-thirds of this money is to be sent to the education department, and the rest is saved for the salaries of the servants, the maintenance of the palace, and the purchase of household supplies. Also, remember to prepare some baby and toddler products, which may be used in the future. Aisha commanded without thinking.
"Baby products? What do you mean ......"
The maid clearly noticed something, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face.
After all, she was also present at the time of childbirth, and she was one of the very few people who knew the truth.
Aisha smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Don't think about it, I didn't get any exact information, I just wanted to fulfill my duties as a mother." β
The maid nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I see." However, according to tradition, both princes and princesses must begin to recruit attendants of the right age from among the nobles after birth. Do you think this is also on the agenda? β
"No, don't rush yet. After all, I don't even know if I'm giving birth to a man or a girl. Besides, I don't think that little guy needs any squire to keep him safe. Leave things like this to Soth. β
Aisha very simply rejected the other party's offer.
"As you wish!"
The maid put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply, then turned and disappeared into the corridor behind her with graceful steps.
Aisha, on the other hand, sat alone on the balcony and sighed at the distant scenery.
Obviously, out of mother's instinct, she now misses her child and longs to see him as soon as possible.
At this moment, a portal suddenly opened out of thin air.
Immediately following Zuo Si's figure, he appeared out of thin air, holding a girl who looked to be about three years old, wearing a purple princess dress, over-the-knee stockings, and small leather boots.
"This ...... This is?!! β
Ai Shaten suddenly stood up from his chair, didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and stepped barefoot on the cold marble floor, his face full of excitement and excitement.
"Her name is Anne and she is our daughter. Anne, this is your mother. β
After that, Zuo Si handed the little dot in his arms to his titular wife.
"Momβ"
As a god-like power, little Anne was obviously able to tell who was related to her, and immediately put on a cute appearance and begged for a hug.
"God willing! My dear darling! You don't know how much your mom misses you. β
Aisha's tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably, and she held her daughter in her arms and kept kissing.
After a while, her emotions gradually calmed down, wiped the tears on her face, raised her head and asked in a not very sure tone: "Anne was born not long ago, how can she grow up so fast?" What happened to her? β
"Uh...... This is a tricky thing to explain.
In fact, just yesterday she was a baby who didn't understand anything.
But after devouring a few gods from another plane, he suddenly grew up.
I shouldn't be sure if this is the result of devouring the gods, or if it's the result of her changing perception of herself.
But it's a good thing overall.
At least I don't have to worry about the damage and damage she might unconsciously cause. β
Zuo Si told what he knew and what he guessed.
After all, a baby suddenly becomes a three-year-old little Lori, which is not so easy for most ordinary people to accept.
"You mean, she's going to grow fast?"
Aisha's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zuo Si nodded first, then shook his head again: "No, I mean, her growth rate may not necessarily have anything to do with age.
Maybe in a few days or months, Anne will be eleven or twelve.
Maybe after a few hundred years, she will still maintain her current appearance.
And I must tell you that until Anne can fully control her power, I must take her with me just in case. β
Obviously, after solving a lot of troubles in the Theros space-time, Zuo Si immediately thought of bringing his daughter back to see Aisha as a mother, and by the way to confirm the status of his other heir.
"Well, I think I get what you mean. How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time? β
Aisha gently stroked her daughter's cute face with a hint of innocence, her eyes were full of strong reluctance, but she did not object.
She knew very well that little Anne would almost certainly be like her father, a powerful being with eternal life and the power of a god.
With his mortal status, he has no ability to raise and teach him, let alone deal with the aftermath when he is in trouble.
"Wellβprobably a few more days. In the meantime, Anne will be handed over to you first. Be careful, she's no ordinary child. β
As Zuo Si spoke, the little ancestor turned around and grimaced mischievously, and then began to inspect the furniture, ornaments, magical objects, sculptures, paintings and other works of art in the palace, as well as the precious ornamental plants and small animals in the courtyard outside.
Thanks to her self-awareness and independent thinking, she has now managed to break away from a pattern of behavior that is driven entirely by instinct.
The good thing is that 90 percent of the behavior becomes predictable, but the trouble is learning to disguise, deceive, and play tricks.
Although there were many restrictions set by Zuo Si and the three chapters of the covenant when he returned, it is a bit difficult to say whether he would really strictly abide by them.
Because so far, little Anne has not shown her tendency to inherit the blood of the Great Devil, but instead gives people a sense of eccentricity and elusiveness.
Hearing that she had been given time alone with her daughter, Aisha suddenly smiled with joy and hurriedly responded, "No problem, leave it to me." It just so happened that the cabinet ministers and the public could also take the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the imperial crown prince. Oh, by the way, what are you going to do with Anne's retinue and knights? β
Zuo Si replied bluntly: "Don't worry, I have prepared knights and guards for her." β
"Then I'm relieved. Come, my little darling, how about letting mom take you on a tour of this palace and then take you to eat something delicious? β
Aisha bent down to pick up her daughter, both in tone and attitude, full of doting.
"Okay! Okay! β
Little Anne applauded happily, not much different from a three-year-old child.
Soon, the mother and daughter disappeared into the labyrinthine palace with their servants in tow.
Zuo Si, who had been in a state of mental tension recently, also relaxed a little, and after a short pause, he activated the teleportation magic and went to the Cormier Kingdom.
β¦β¦
At this moment, in the royal palace of this ancient feudal state founded by man.
As the regent, the Iron Princess, Yalusel, is now lying on a large soft bed with her stomach upright, being examined by the priest while dealing with complex and tricky government affairs.
Due to the simultaneous death of the hero king and the eldest princess, the current Cormier kingdom can be said to be a standard internal and external trouble.
Removing the threat from the Northern Ghost City and Santil Fort, the group of gangs and aristocrats in the country, as well as the huge debts owed before, are enough to make it difficult for the royal family.
In particular, the council of the nobility, which had great power, provoked violent quarrels and disagreements almost every time it was convened.
If it had been before, Yalusail would have been impatient to try to force the troublemakers to submit to him by force.
But now, instead of showing the slightest impatience, she methodically uses her status as regent to win over those forces who were originally loyal to her father and sister.
Then, in exchange for inflating the social status of the merchant class, the fellows offered them an interest-free loan to put the military together to quell the civil unrest that had sparked before it was put down.
It didn't take long for the originally chaotic country to gradually restore order, and the royal capital finally fell completely under its control.
It can be said that a series of performances after Yalusail's return made everyone look at him with admiration.
Its political level and governance ability seem to have reached above the passing line, and can even be called excellent.
"Well, the regent's physical condition and fetus are fine, right?"
Karadnay, who had only just taken over the title of Archmage of the Royal Family, asked nervously.
As one of the very few people who knew the identity of the child's biological father, she was highly nervous about this matter, for fear of even the slightest accident.
"I'm sorry, but I can't confirm the condition of the fetus due to my limited capabilities. Because there is an invisible energy field that blocks all means of discovery. β
The bishop of the Mother Earth goddess, Celestia, had a helpless expression.
"What do you mean ......"
Karadenay undoubtedly guessed something, and her face changed slightly.
The bishop nodded slightly, "Yes."
If the father of this child is also that person, it is very likely that he will also be born with a natural god-like power.
Therefore, it is best to inform the other party immediately, otherwise unforeseen accidents may occur.
As far as I know, the last time I gave birth, it caused the magic net to get out of control and even collapse in the delivery room.
It was the presence of the goddess of magic that calmed the turmoil.
Otherwise, the archmages and legendary mages present will be sucked alive and die if they don't do it well. β
Hearing this, all the insiders in the room showed frightened expressions.
After all, the mere presence of the goddess of magic is enough to tell the gravity of the problem.
Moreover, the Cormier Kingdom is not a traditional magical powerhouse, although there is a well-known group of war mages, but the overall spellcasting level is not high.
Karadena didn't think he could handle such a situation.
Just as she was about to say something, Jarusel suddenly interrupted, "Okay, let's stop here for today." Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do this for me. β
"You're so gracious, it's my honor to serve the regent."
The bishop bowed humbly, and then followed the servant out of what was claimed to be the safest room in the kingdom of Cormier.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Karadenai couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought about what to do?"
Don't tell me you're going to drag it out.
By human standards, you're already very close to your due date.
If something goes wrong, there's nothing I can do. β
But Yalusail replied disapprenosingly: "There's no need to be so nervous, I'm sure Soth will arrive at that time." After all, with Aisha's experience, he should have realized that his heir would be very unusual. β
"And then? And how do you plan to deal with possible inheritance battles between your descendants and your nephews? Karadena asked without any disguise.
This is also a concern for all the nobles of the entire Cormier Kingdom, and a good handling will lead to a civil war over the succession to the throne.
Don't think it's a joke!
In traditional feudal states, the inheritance of nobility and the throne is an extension of property rights, and it is also the foundation for maintaining blood rule.
When a dispute arises, it can lead to a series of serious consequences.
In particular, Cormier's current situation of suspicion must be handled with extreme caution and decisiveness.
"I ...... I don't know what to do, so I'd better let him make a decision when Soth comes. β
Jalusail was particularly entangled in this matter.
After all, she was really a little unwilling to give up the throne that was close at hand, and she didn't think that her child would be willing to succumb to her nephew in the future.
But in the same way, she can't ruthlessly cut down the roots of the heirs left by her sister.
The only thing that can be done at the moment is to drag it out first, so that the nobles who are planning to take sides and political speculation to take the family to the next level will not dare to express themselves lightly.
"Damn! You look like you're going to give away the Cormier Kingdom. β
Karadena rolled her eyes angrily.
Yalusail asked rhetorically with a nonchalant expression, "So what?"
Anyway, this child has half of the blood of the Obeszir family in his body, and he is legally qualified to be the heir to the Cormier royal family.
And his father was the emperor of the West Coast Empire.
If he becomes king, he can definitely lead Cormier to become stronger and richer.
Maybe you can even directly pay off a large amount of debt.
After all, Soth won't ask his son for debts, right?
What's more, I can take the opportunity to extort a large amount of aid, and then we don't have to worry about a little money. β
Seeing the shameless appearance of his former friend, Karadena couldn't help but hold his forehead and complain, "You are really depraved, Yalusail Nakhakia Obaiszir. β
"Fallen? This is not a fall! It's about making the most of what you have to offer. What's more, I'm a woman, is there anything wrong with relying on my own man and father of children? β
There was a subtle hint of cunning in Yalusel's eyes.
Caladnay shook her head slightly: "No, of course there is no problem.
I just can't believe that the proud Iron Princess back then has become a different picture.
To be honest, I can't believe that the Emperor completely changed you in such a short period of time.
This is something that your father, Yasan IV, has not been able to do. β
"That's because the methods and techniques they use are completely different.
My father was always a simple preacher, but Soth made me a governor and experienced first-hand the process of running and governing.
He taught me that the essence of politics is to co-opt more people to become one's allies, and then to suppress the enemies of the minority, and then force them to make concessions and even reach a compromise.
So you can see that since I became regent, I've been trying to balance the forces and force some families to back down, but not to push them into a corner. β
As she spoke, Jalusail stamped several letters with the seal of the regent of the kingdom and threw them on the bedside table beside her.
The servant who was waiting by immediately picked up the letters and gave them to the messenger outside, who then delivered them to the designated person.
Just as the messenger galloped away on horseback, the room, which had been forbidden for all magical teleportation, suddenly experienced a violent spatial shock.
Karadena was the first to notice this, and the whole person instantly felt like a great enemy, and while sounding the alarm, he raised the most powerful magic item in his hand.
But after only a few seconds, she lifted the alarm, and her nerves were relaxed.
Because it was none other than Zuo Si who teleported after him.
"Welcome, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Karadena hurriedly bowed her head and curtsy, her hands trembling uncontrollably and slightly.
Because she controlled the magic enchantment of the palace, she could clearly feel the terrifying magical energy that the young man in front of her had unintentionally emitted, as well as the extremely complex and huge magical protection and mystery locks that surrounded her body.
Even the moment it appeared, it directly covered the protective barrier in the palace.
Although she had never seen the Goddess of Magic in person, Karadnay felt that even if the Goddess of Magic was there in person, it would be more than that.
"You don't seem to look good?"
Zuo Si looked at the princess lover lying on the bed with a big belly with interest.
"Of course. After all, I am now the regent of the Cormier Kingdom, and I have the same powers as the king. β
Jalusail held up his signet ring and shook it gently with a smile on his face.
"Why do you want to come back and be this regent? You should know that the kingdom of Cormier is a complete mess. β
Zuo Si walked straight to the side of the bed and lifted the quilt, and if no one else pressed his hand on the high bulging abdomen, he directly probed the fetus inside through divine power.
As a result, after passing through a strongly disturbing energy field, he noticed a large black shadow under arcane vision.
Not negative energy!
It's not even Shadow Energy!
It's pure darkness.
In the center of the darkness, a vague silhouette squirmed.
Undoubtedly, like little Anne, this child is also a life form that has no fixed form for the time being.
Yalusail brushed the hair hanging down from his ears and replied indifferently: "Because this country is the brainchild of my father and sister, I can't watch it decline or even divide and perish.
What's more, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Don't you want your children to be kings?
By the way, what happened to the baby in my belly? β
"Not bad, though it may not be what you think."
Zuo Si left a mark of his own on the bulging abdomen with his fingers.
This allows him to monitor the condition of the fetus in real time and be aware of the situation immediately during labor and when something unexpected happens.
"Just like Aisha's child?"
There was intense curiosity in Yalusel's eyes.
"Well, pretty much, but it's not the same.
Because Anne was born as a high-dimensional energy group, and then began to change back and forth between different forms.
It was only recently that she finally stabilized and became a girl who looked like she was about three years old.
Your child is a more abstract darkness.
I'm not sure what he would have been like when he was born.
But don't worry, I'll be back then. β
Zuo Si put the quilt back on, bent down and kissed the other party's forehead to express closeness and comfort.
"Darkness?!"
Caradnay keenly grasped a key word.
Zuo Si patiently explained: "How to put it, it's a bit like some kind of abstract shadow or shadow.
But we won't know exactly what it is until it is born.
Also, for safety reasons, I recommend keeping all casters away on the day of production.
An anti-magic area can be set up if necessary. β
"Understood, I'll arrange it."
Karadenai showed a thoughtful expression, and immediately followed up and asked, "Do you have any plans regarding the succession to the Cormier throne?" β
"Do you need to ask?"
Zuo Si raised his head and looked into the eyes of the young chief mage, releasing a slight sense of oppression.
Moment!
Kaladenay was sweating like rain, and he felt like he was panting like a mountain had been crushed on his head.
It took a full minute for this feeling of oppression to disappear, and she herself leaned against the wall without any image, swallowing and breathing, and finally asked with the fear in her heart: "What are you going to do with Yasan V, who is still a baby?" Kill him? β
"I'm not a demon, don't think I'm so cruel and bloodthirsty.
And there's no need to kill a baby who doesn't know anything.
When my child and Jalusail are born, it will be possible to send Ahsan V to another world of relative prosperity and safety, where he will spend his life in a very different capacity.
He will have a happy family, adoptive parents and siblings who are not related by blood but who treat him as his own.
How, are you still satisfied with the result? β
Zuo Si raised his hand and released an illusion spell, fully revealing his arrangement.
Seeing this scene, both Karadnay and Yalusail quickly relaxed a lot.
Because that's exactly what they can accept.
It is undoubtedly a very ideal state to be able to complete the alternation of royal power in such a bloodless way.
Karadnai was even more afraid that Zuo Si would change his mind, so he quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, just do as you say." Also, how long will it take for Yalusail to give birth? β
"I don't know. Because she was not carrying an ordinary human fetus, it was as little as a few weeks and as much as three or five months. This is based on the gestational period of Aisha, and it is difficult to say whether it is accurate or not. β
After a little thought, Zuo Si gave an approximate deadline.
"Do you want a name?"
Yalusail asked with a smile on his lips.
"Nope. I had to at least confirm the gender of the child before I could decide what name to choose. Of course, if you come up with a nice or meaningful name at that time, you can decide for yourself, and I'm still very open-minded in this regard. β
In saying this, Zuo Si showed a tolerance that was completely incommensurate with his tyrannical temperament.
While he's not technically the kind of person who has a hard time coming up with a name, he also has little interest in naming everything around him.
Especially when it comes to naming a child, he always feels that the mother who has contributed the most and suffered the most should actually have more say.
"Are you sure?"
Jalusail looked extremely surprised.
After all, although the Cormier Kingdom is relatively equal to men and women, and even women can inherit property and noble titles, it is still a typical patriarchal society in nature.
Matters such as choosing a name, unless it is a family member or a woman is the head of the family, it is basically decided by the man.
Zuo Si replied with a smile: "Yes, I'm very sure. And it's up to you to decide if this kid is going to inherit the Obeszir surname and become King of Cormir in the future. β
"Thank you so much! I now kind of understand why Yalusail is so obsessed with you. β
Apparently aware of what kind of political signal this meant, Karadenai hurriedly bent down and bowed in thanks.
"You're welcome. If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to ask, and I will be satisfied immediately. β
Zuo Si gave a promise straightforwardly.
"Can you forgive all the debts owed by the Cormier royal family?"
Yalusail asked in a half-joking tone.
"Absolutely. I can also give you an extra money order from the Temple of Vorkin, the goddess of wealth, worth five million gold coins, ready to be cashed at any time. β
As he spoke, Zuo Si directly used his divine power to create a bill of exchange with his own mark out of thin air and put it at the head of the bed.
With his current close alliance with Waukin, let alone a mere five million, even adding a few zeros would have no problem.
After all, there is the cash cow of the dark lord Grazt, and it is not possible to earn a mere five million gold coins in a day or two.
You know, the woman who wants to conceive his child, or the man who wants to get him pregnant, there are too many of them right now.
"Five...... Million?! β
Karadenay's eyes widened in disbelief.
Because of this money, many things that were not possible before can now be done with complete ease.
For example, we should reorganize our armaments, provide food for civilians who have lost their homes in the war, repair broken castles and fortresses, and put soldiers in better armor and armor.
"Don't be so surprised, money and every resource you can imagine is almost infinite to me.
The so-called wealth is nothing more than a string of meaningless monetized figures.
If you want, I can even instantly bring a piece of gold of the same volume as the continent of Faeron.
I also brought back some indestructible metal called vibranium.
You can try to craft some weapons or armor. β
Zuo Si casually took out hundreds of heavy vibranium ingots and piled them up in the room to form a small hill that emitted a ghostly light.
With the Cormier Kingdom actually falling under his control, there is naturally no need to hide it anymore, and can directly start strengthening the power of the royal family, so that those turtle nobles can have a good taste of what is called an autocratic iron fist.
Want to do something to weaken the power of the royal family?
Gain more power and political influence through private collusion?
If you're not afraid of death, try it!
Influenced by Zuo Si and advocating centralization, Yalusail was not the indecisive Yasan IV.
When she has enough military power, she really dares to raise the butcher's knife to uproot the entire aristocratic class, make the ancient families with a long history disappear forever, confiscate their property and land, and finally achieve the goal of permanently changing the feudal system of the Cormier Kingdom.
"Indestructible? You mean these metals have properties that are as hard as adamantite? β
Karadena picked up one of the pieces and cast a detection spell.
"No, vibranium is far harder than adamantite.
And it can absorb almost all the heat, energy, and kinetic energy.
In other words, you can use the armor it creates to fend off the Plastic's magical attacks.
I think an elite army wearing vibranium armor and armed with vibranium weapons and shields will definitely be enough to deal with most of the enemies inside and outside the Cormier Kingdom. β
With that, Zuo Si turned sideways and glanced at the amount of vibranium in the room.
According to his estimates, this was almost enough to arm an army of about 1,000 men that was nearly invulnerable.
In addition to the need for careful control of spells and directional spells, even when fighting giants and dragons, you can not fall behind.
