"King Charlie." A government official, with a stack of parchment in his hand, cautiously approached as if carrying some kind of time bomb.

"Say it." Charlie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he found a comfortable sitting position on the throne, and the corners of his mouth were outlined, "It looks very important, so let's talk quickly." ”

The king is the nominal supreme ruler and has the right to interfere in all the internal affairs of the country. Of course, this is only in name, and it is an indisputable fact that the power of the king has been greatly weakened in essence, both openly and covertly.

But for Charlie, everyone doesn't know what this madman is going to do. Until now, he has not issued a series of decrees that will tear the whole country apart, and everyone is grateful to him.

"After the implementation of the Orc Act, cases of orcs hurting people became more and more frequent."

"Well," Charlie nodded thoughtfully, "they'll just get used to it." ”

"But, look, Your Majesty." The officer took two steps forward and handed the parchment in his hand to King Charles, "Obviously, the orc crime rate has decreased before...... I don't know why it has suddenly skyrocketed recently! ”

The official pointed to the table in front of him, and the very intuitive bar chart showed that the orc crime rate had soared by two thousand percent in the past week! It's even higher than the crime rate before the decree was issued!

"So, can the Orc Management Division handle this?"

"Your Majesty, what's even more strange is that whenever the orcs finish their errands, they don't know why they disappear! Out of thin air! ”

"What do you mean?" Charlie frowned, faintly irritated in his heart, "They're just gone?" Gone? ”

"Nope! They clearly have a purpose in targeting us...... Several parties have shown that the appearance of the orcs who robbed and did miscellaneous work was actually repeated! ”

"Then why can't you catch it......" Charlie's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

"We don't know yet...... It's just that now it is necessary to ask Your Majesty to let go of the Brotherhood's manpower and strengthen the defense. ”

"Isn't there a security department?"

"Security Division......" the official smiled awkwardly, "with little effect...... Because most things happen so suddenly, it's like a blitzkrieg. ”

Charlie patted the throne, but a hideous smile appeared on his face: "So...... I see, we have to do more to get to the bottom of it. ”

Orcs...... This creature that only wastes resources......

Charlie waved his hand so that the official could return to duty, and there was a sharp killing intent in his eyes.

At this time, in the warm and airy Poserona Palace, Marshall was still practicing how to swing a sword with William.

There are still three or four days left, and it is time to go out and practice. Marshall heard from William that this time they were going to escort a magical item from the Vatican all the way to the Orc District, Shura.

Charlie already knew the specifics, and he just nodded in agreement and didn't say anything more.

"Princess...... It's time to take a break. ”

Now Marshall has made greater progress, and I don't know why, maybe it is because of the lack of tendons in his brain, and it is difficult for Marshall to feel the tiredness coming out of his body now. As long as she doesn't tear her muscles, she can continue to practice so boring and monotonous.

"Whew...... ......"Marshall's body didn't become too strong because of the practice, but he was slimmer and leaner.

Her current body contains an indescribable, inexplicable power, perhaps the result of these few days of exercise.

Marshall skillfully took the tossed towel, spread out the bundled golden single ponytail, took a long breath of relief, and carefully wiped the sweat from his body.

This was the time for small talk, but not much, and William couldn't say much to the poor man.

A thousand words reach the throat, but there are no words...... It's really a frustrating thing.

As for the matter of winter and summer, both of them tacitly kept silent, as if they were maintaining a wonderful balance, and if they did, it would probably not turn out so well.

"Shura...... Well, where? Marshall pursed her lips, a twinkle in her eyes indicating her concern for the matter.

"Next to the [Star Metropolis] Firabi, but you have to pass through the [Land of Desire] halfway through, Sisg."

"The Land of Desire?" Marshall muttered quietly, "Lust...... ...... place"

"Sisg is the backbone of the Yaris monetary system, because most of the gold and silver ore in the country is produced in this place." William handed Marshall a bottle of light salt water and urged her to drink it, "Compared to the [Star Metropolis], the situation in the [Land of Desire] is much more chaotic, after all, everyone wants to make a big profit here, and there are many bandits. ”

"Yes......" Marshall's eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's an opportunity," William whispered, "and an opportunity for us to really communicate with each other." ”

Marshall's eyes lit up, and he quickly and panickedly concealed the excitement in his eyes, pursed his lips, and nodded.

"Huh...... What a sin......" William smiled, "I will lay a good foundation for you in these two years, and after that, I will go to the knight academy in Yaris to practice." ”

Marshall just nodded, and then a sincere and bright smile bloomed.

"Thank you."

"Taking you out this time is also to give you a glimpse of the real world in the outside world." William continued, "That Evuni guy won't let you out while he's alive...... You're a good girl......"

"You're going to make it." William pinched the [Golden Rose] in his hand and whispered.

The Lady King...... Not bad either.

"So, in the Orc Zone, will we meet the orcs?"

"Of course, we'll also meet some when we're escorting items." William had hired a group of orcs in advance, mainly the large carnivores, so that they could act as bodyguards.

In his opinion, the only strength of orcs is that they have rough skin and thick flesh, and they are infinitely powerful. And also...... Eat a lot......

When the time comes, they will disguise themselves as a caravan and pull several shipments.

Well, it's definitely not like he's trying to make some extra money.

......

Time flies, and the magic sun on the swing swings up and down.

It's the evening of the Merlin Sanctuary in spring, and the flowers are flying in the sky.

King Charles was seated in a wooden house, looking at Cheney, who was a little nervous in front of him, with a playful expression.

"How's the experiment going?"

Cheney hooked his fingers, his face was stern, and finally he had the courage to speak.

"Now that there is some progress, we can use incomplete life techniques to graft some of the characteristics of runic creatures onto human bodies."

"Oh?" Charlie bowed his head, crossed his hands, and rested on his chest, "So, what kind of effect will it have?" ”

"A fundamental increase in the level of mana...... But...... It may cause the human body to undergo a deeper semi-demonic nature, leading to confusion of consciousness. ”

"So that means there won't be any side effects other than going crazy, right?"

"Also, the subject's flesh changes depending on the nature of the runic creature...... There will be a huge change in bodily functions, for example, you can crush stones with your bare hands, and so on. ”

"Hehe......" Charlie smiled, "I think it's good, it's okay to be crazy, after all, I'm crazy enough." ”

He actually said that he was ......

"Anyway," a playful smile appeared on Charlie's lips, "where's your [Perfect Vessel]?" ”

Really......

Cheney's breathing suddenly became a little flustered.

The "Old Man of the Primordial" says that he will eventually get his mind on Merlin.

What is even more puzzling is that the Presbyterians actually passed a compromise proposal.

"As long as Merlin is handed over, we can continue our plan. Abandoning the pawn to protect the car is the best way, since one is successful, there will be a second. ”

Cheney countered that King Charles might swallow Merlin, but the answer was that they had the World Tree.

"So, when can I get my first graft on me? I'm looking forward to it. Charlie's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth upturned.

"Very, very soon......"

He seemed to be completely insane.

"How many years does the [Perfect Vessel] have to mature?" Charlie stood up and said casually.

"And ...... Almost thirteen years. ”

"I can afford to wait. By then, Yaris should have undergone some drastic changes. ”

Cheney was about to stand up, but when he heard this, his heart shook slightly.

Immediately, she squeezed out a smile and watched King Charles walk down the wooden house that belonged to the Presbyterian Church alone.

I don't know what happened to Sheldon......

Cheney was secretly worried, but finally sighed, shook his head and walked away.
