Chapter 84: The Law of Accidents
After beating the generals in the army, while the nobles were still on the way to the royal capital, Hudson took the time to return to the mountain territory under the pretext of arranging territorial affairs.
There is no doubt that the handling of territorial affairs is fake, and the real purpose is to recover the ghost ship.
The kingdom released news to the outside world to encircle and suppress the ghost ship, but it was not the lake that made people, but really put it into action.
The great nobles of several coastal provinces joined forces and formed a crusade fleet. If Hudson hadn't handled military affairs in the royal capital, he would probably have been a member of the coalition army.
He, the dragon knight, was absent, and the Coslow family, which did not have a naval fleet, was naturally not qualified to participate in this kind of public welfare game.
As far as Hudson knew, the dark masters of the kingdom had rushed over to get a piece of the pie.
Among the major forces, there are not many dark eighth-order powerhouses, but there are not a few fifth, sixth, and seventh-order masters.
It is a risk for ordinary people to encounter an eighth-order ghost ship, but it is a rare opportunity for these dark powerhouses.
Even if it is the heart core of the ghost ship, without their share, the soul beads left after the ghost is destroyed are also a great supplement.
Greed is the original sin, and when the benefits are so great that people ignore the risks. Dark cultivators are particularly persistent in this regard, and taking a little risk in pursuit of power is nothing at all.
Count the days, and it's time for the coalition forces to do it. If it drags on any longer, when the news spreads, dark powerhouses from all over the continent will flock to it.
No one will give up the opportunity to break through the Holy Realm. When the time comes, it will be a battle of dragons and tigers, and the best choice is to start before everyone arrives and grab the heart core.
It doesn't matter if you can break through the Sanctuary smoothly, as long as you use the things, there will be no trouble.
It's a pity that they didn't think that Hudson, an irrelevant dragon knight, would also have to cut off his beard.
While everyone was busy looking for the ghost ship, Hudson had already found his target under the guidance of the ghost slave in his hand.
The strongest fortresses were broken through from within. With the help of the ghost spy in his hand, Hudson managed to beat the two ghost kings.
Although the remaining Ghost King resisted, he couldn't toss the waves at all in the face of the attack of the dragon and the bear.
After failing to coerce and lure, the three Ghost Kings were finally forced to sign a slave contract. Of course, it wasn't Hudson who was signed, but Bear Stearns and Maxim.
Rough methods will inevitably backfire, but under the absolute power gap, even if the three ghost kings want to rebel, they will have to wait until they break through the holy realm.
It's not that Hudson looks down on them, it's that the promotion of these alien beings is too bumpy. Throughout the history of the human race, there have only been a handful of scenes where Sanctuary-level ghost ships have appeared.
Even if they were able to break through the Sanctuary, the more talented Bear Stearns and Maxim would not be waiting for them in place, and there was almost no possibility of surpassing them.
Controlling the Ghost King is equivalent to controlling the Ghost Ship. Instead of letting them continue to move outside, they were ordered to go to the Misty Sea.
has caused such a big storm, and it is time to avoid the limelight.
No matter how powerful the encirclement and suppression fleet is, it has to be blind in the face of the vast fog. It just so happens that you can also look at Poison Dragon Island, and don't give the fish that slipped through the net a chance to leave.
……
In the Lord's Palace, little Franz, who was more than a year old, was already able to climb around with small steps.
For the safety of his son, many dangerous facilities in the lord's mansion have been specially handled.
Temporary fences were added to the ponds, water chestnuts were worn off rockeries, and water wells were covered......
The degree of caution was so high that Hudson was speechless. You must know that since the little one was born, there have been maids who take turns to take care of him day and night.
If this can happen, it will inevitably seem that he, the lord of the lord, is too wasteful.
Since ancient times, when the head of the family was strong, there were few accidents for future generations. Many of the heirs died young, most of them were infighting in the back house, and only a few were due to congenital deficiencies.
Hudson's status is in full swing, and all branches are very peaceful, and the Coslow family has not yet developed to the point where they need to fight in the back house.
Considering that he had no experience with children for the first time, he simply let Melissa toss.
It was said that this was the experience offered by Lord Redman, but Hudson was certain that his brothers had grown up with no such treatment.
If Franz wasn't young, Hudson would definitely have removed the maids around him, and a group of maids followed him every day, wouldn't it be a tragedy if he was trained to become Jia Baoyu?
However, this kind of good life is destined to be short-lived.
Generally speaking, the children of the great nobles began to read and write at the age of three, and from the age of five, they had to undergo basic training as knights.
Archery and horse archery, aristocratic etiquette, dealing with people, humanities and history...... At this age, all arrangements have to be made, and when you are older, you will have to get into politics.
Comparatively speaking, the children of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom have slightly less to learn, and the children of the great nobles in the central and southern regions still have to learn art.
"Hudson, you're going to be stationed in the royal capital next, do you want to take me and Franz with you?"
Greeted by Melissa's resentful eyes, Hudson didn't know how to answer for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he said slowly:
"The next royal capital will be a gathering place for wind and clouds, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find peace.
In the event that the situation deteriorates and the Mountain Territory is remote, we will be able to keep our own doors. ”
It's all true, and Hudson has no confidence that this war will be won. In essence, whether the Alpha Kingdom can win or not depends on the choice of the elves.
If they go all out into the war, the countries along the way will not be able to stop it at all, and even the Alpha Kingdom at its peak will not be able to hold back the three-front battle at that time.
To be precise, there is no force on the continent that can withstand the combined siege of the elves, orcs, and ancient relics.
Hudson's strategy for the kingdom was based entirely on the fact that the enemy came one by one.
It seems to be a battle to the death, but in fact it is more of an international game, betting on the determination of the elves to destroy the Alpha Kingdom at any cost.
"The situation is so grim, it's not ...... outside"
In the middle of her words, Melissa suddenly swallowed back. She clearly trusted Hudson's judgment more than the rumours from the outside world.
After three years of pregnancy, since the birth of little Franz, most of her energy has been focused on her son, and she has rarely cared about political issues.
In addition, the mountain territory is far away from the political center, and the energy of the lord's mansion is focused on farming, so there is no time to care about the international political situation.
In fact, this is also a limitation of talent origin.
At present, the descendants of the minor nobles who are serving in the mountain territory have been trained and trained by the acquired training, but their vision and thinking have not changed.
Politics in the eyes of the little aristocracy is a one-third of an acre of land at the door of one's own house, which is basically only at the county level, and it is all visionary to be able to take into account the province.
When "international politics" reaches their ears, it is all hearsay, and it is 108,000 miles away from the truth, and it is impossible to reach it at all.
The long-term habit of subconsciously believing that international politics has nothing to do with you determines that everyone prefers to talk about the things around them.
Hudson was also happy to see this happen.
Subordinates, it's better to be a worker with peace of mind than anything else, if you think too much, you won't be able to keep people.
Don't look at the pictures that are usually given to everyone, if someone really wants to go out and set up their own door, Lord Hudson's heart will also be uncomfortable.
It's not easy to cultivate a talent, if you are all restless, don't want to shine for the construction of the territory, and run out to start a business, who will work for him?
If they really broaden their horizons, the children of the nobles will find that if they want to make a career and follow the big nobles, it is far less cost-effective than going to the king.
Judging from the current situation, even if you go to the north to work hard, it is more promising than staying in the mountain territory to farm.
Of course, the risks and benefits are equal. There are more opportunities in the North, but there are also higher risks.
Theoretically, civilians have a chance to ascend to power, but that's just theory.
Unbeknownst to Hudson at other times, the kingdom had mobilized more than two million in the last orc invasion, and only seven civilians had become nobles.
The embarrassment is that these seven role models carefully erected by the kingdom are either distant side branches of the minor nobles or descendants of the declining nobles.
As the commander of the army, Hudson dared to guarantee that no one cheated.
In fact, these seven lucky ones want to operate, and they don't have enough connections to operate.
In essence, these seven lucky people are grassroots, except for reading a few words with their parents and having a little knowledge, they are no different from ordinary people, and they have not even completed the basic training of knights.
The probability of success is so low, it is completely caused by the unequal power, information, and resources in the hands.
Bringing a private army to the battlefield to seek military merits, and a lonely person leading the weapons issued by the kingdom as cannon fodder, the starting point gap is too great.
The most reliable way is to follow a certain big nobleman for several generations, accumulate enough connections and resources, mix a noble title, and then seek a fief.
This is the route planned by the great nobles for ordinary people, which seems simple and clear, but in fact it is a big pie that can be seen and touched.
The transition time in the middle is so long, the younger generations will either not go to school, as long as they go to the aristocratic lord's arrangement hall, they will inevitably be brainwashed and educated.
Including Hudson himself, if it weren't for the 500 private army that started that year, it would be difficult to cross the initial threshold.
The more cruel the truth, the more we need to draw cakes so that everyone can see that there is hope for the future.
The conscientious Lord Hudson promised everyone that as long as he "performs well" at work, he will definitely be able to solve the aristocratic treatment before retirement.
Of course, this is limited to fictitious titles, and not yet every manager has it.
If you want to get a fief, you have to make a great contribution. The specific standard is not there for the time being, anyway, it will definitely not be low, who let this be to cut meat from the lord's own territory?
In order to stabilize people's hearts, we can't let everyone's minds be too active.
Otherwise, if you hear that so-and-so has won a knighthood today, and tomorrow you will hear who has become a nobleman, and it will be difficult for everyone to work with peace of mind.
After all, no matter how low the probability, when the base is large enough, there will be no shortage of winners.
Most of the management of the mountain collar is somewhat basic, and the starting conditions are far better than those of pure grassroots.
If you go through too many baptisms of success, it is easy to have the illusion that I can do it.
This was the exact opposite of Hudson's policy to be pursued in the Kingdom's standing army.
In order to mobilize the combat enthusiasm of ordinary soldiers, even if there are no grassroots heroes, he will artificially create a few lucky ones.
If a few stimuli are not enough, then dozens, hundreds, so that everyone will continue to have role models around them.
Anyway, this is paid by the kingdom, and there is no need to cut meat from their own territory, and it doesn't hurt to have a bunch of small nobles, just play for quick success.
The difference in the thought of a big man is often a change of fate for ordinary people.
For a moment, Hudson seemed to realize something, and the whole person was immersed in it, but this state was fleeting.
But from the envious eyes of the dragon and the bear around him, he knew that this must be something amazing. It's a pity that the current cultivation realm is too shallow to grasp such a lofty thing.
"Hudson, what happened just now, why did Bear Stearns suddenly release the Guardian Enchantment, and even I was stopped outside?"
Melissa asked with concern.
"You have a little comprehension in cultivation, you can rest assured, this is a good thing."
As he spoke, Hudson gave Bear Stearns an approving look.
Warcraft with eyesight is different, and if someone disturbs and misses this opportunity, Hudson will have to regret his death.
It seemed that the comprehension time only lasted less than a quarter of an hour, but his intuition told him that just such an instant helped him save a lot of cultivation time.
"The dragon god is above, this is unreasonable!
A sixth-order great mage actually began to comprehend the law, and the talent of human beings is so against the sky, and he still doesn't let the dragon live? ”
Maxim said with a depressed expression.
It can be seen from his expression that he is very unhappy now.
Beginning to comprehend the rules, even if it is only a little scratch, means that Hudson has a high probability of being able to break through the Sanctuary.
The career of the working dragon is about to be extended.
Originally, he thought that after completing the contractual obligations one hundred and eighty years, he would be able to live the life of a free dragon again, but now it seems that he thought too simply.
Ignoring Maxim's thoughts, Hudson was left with only two words left in his mind: "law".
Unlike the natural races of dragons, they have their own laws in their own talents, and they can easily break through the Sanctuary when they become adults.
If humans want to break through the Sacred Realm, they need to comprehend the laws on their own. No one can say exactly how to comprehend and how much it needs to comprehend.
Being able to know the "laws" is the result of Hudson's erudition.
The growth path of each Sacred Domain powerhouse is different, and the laws they comprehend are also different. If you insist on summing up experience, that is talent.
All the information in Hudson's hands, the specific description of the law, is very vague.
Originally, he thought that someone was deliberately hiding, but now it seems that those Sanctuary powerhouses are similar to his current state, and he doesn't know what he understands.
If you can figure it out, you may be able to reach a higher realm.
"Bear Stearns, Maxim, how much do you know about the law?"
Human beings have a limited lifespan, and it is difficult to break through the holy realm, and the probability of being able to enter a higher level is even lower.
In contrast, it is still these long-lived races that are more dominant, and there are long years to study slowly.
"Let me tell you, there are many kinds of laws, mainly earth, fire, wind, water, light, darkness, and thunder, and they are the easiest to understand.
The six laws of fate, destruction, death, life, time, and space are relatively few understood.
There are also some special ones such as: the law of the dragon, the law of blood...... They were all born with them, and they basically have nothing to do with you humans.
No matter what kind of cultivation system it is, if you want to break through the holy realm, you can't fail to comprehend the law.
The specific law subdivision, you still have to study it after the Holy Domain!
The realization just now was purely accidental, don't take chance as ability, there is no benefit in knowing too much now.
If you don't reach the realm, it's easy to think crankily and comprehend the law as a rule, and if you don't pay attention, you will go astray. ”
Bear Stearns' tone made Hudson speechless. Obviously, I grew up with my bloodline talent, but I still made a look like I had a lot of experience.
However, Bear Stearns also has a reason to be arrogant, it is true that the Sanctuary Warcraft can have the strength of the Sanctuary when they become adults, but this specific time is uncertain.
Some Sacred Domain Demonic Beasts have just reached adulthood and have the strength of the Sacred Domain level; After some Sanctuary Demonic Beasts reach adulthood, they still need to spend a certain amount of time digesting the realm.
Before they digest and absorb it, they can only be regarded as pseudo-sanctuary.
The same problem exists among the dragons. After all, no matter how gifted a race is, it is inevitable that a few waste materials will be born.
The kind of dragons that spend hundreds or even thousands of years digesting the realm after adulthood are also not a few among the dragon family.
However, relying on the strength of his own talent, the dragon at the level of the pseudo-Terran Domain is still stronger than the ordinary Terran Sacred Domain.
Of course, this is without the help of external forces. The human body is nowhere near as good as Warcraft, but humans love to use tools.
For example, Hudson's Sword of Light is a good auxiliary weapon.
If the Knights of the Sanctuary had an artifact in their hands, it would not be impossible for them to slay the dragon.
"Hudson, don't listen to Bear Stearns' nonsense.
What you just comprehended is a bit like the law of fate, and almost all of the Earth Bears have comprehended the laws of the earth system, and there has never been a strong person in the fate system at all.
There is not much information about the law of fate, and there are not many records in his inheritance memory! ”
Maxim said disdainfully.
In terms of the number of strong people born, there is no race in the Aslant continent that can compare with the dragon race.
Although the Earth Bear clan is good, they are proper partial students. There are a lot of earth powerhouses, but the study of other laws depends on how many alternative bears they have born.
"No matter how few records you have, it's better than you, a dragon who has no inheritance memories!
It's all up to the female dragon to give you the knowledge of evil, I don't believe that she is so conscientious and handed over all the inheritance memories to you? ”
Bear Stearns, who pretended to be a failure, immediately sneered at each other.
He is quite experienced in this area, and how irresponsible his mother bear is, but Bear Stearns knows very well, and he doesn't believe how diligent the mother of dragons can be.
Maybe it was because he was trampled on a sore foot, and the red-faced Maxim looked at the bear cub angrily, if it weren't for the fact that he had lost too many times in front of him and had no confidence in his heart, he would have gone to invite the battle at this moment.
"Okay, you are all dragons and bears with identities, give me some attention."
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Hudson, who was about to be lively, took advantage of the situation to give both sides a step.
A similar bickering will come every three or five times. At first, he tried to resolve the conflict, but later found that it was purely useless.
The more mediation is conducted, the happier the two sides become, and in the end they simply don't bother to pay attention to it.
Anyway, it's noisy and noisy, and it's just a matter of time.
If the situation gets out of hand, Hudson will come out and hand the steps to both sides.
It's really unclear, then according to the general rules of the mainland, whoever has the big fist is justified.
Fighting and brawling is not without benefits, at least the fighting experience of dragons and bears is slowly rising.
……
After three days at home, Hudson returned to the royal capital.
The great nobles from all over the country have basically arrived, and even their daily social activities have increased.
Unlike the banquets of the court nobles, Hudson could not buy it at all, and now the people who came were all powerful people in various parts of the kingdom.
In order not to be cannon fodder, the local noble lord wants to have a good relationship with him, the boss; Hudson needs to work closely together on the battlefield, and he also needs to manage relationships.
Including the five dukes of the Northland, who have never dealt with them much, they are like friends who have not seen each other for many years. As for the previous contradictions, it seems to have disappeared with the wind.
What to think in the depths of the heart, no one knows. On the surface, everyone has implanted the theme of "unity" into every word and deed.
As the coach, Hudson is even more talking, and talking nonsense.
If it hadn't really happened, he wouldn't have known that he was so sociable.
