Raymond often thinks that if he hadn't been running for king on a whim, and had continued to be a simple bone craftsman, his life would never have been so troubled.

However, the king also has the joy of a king.

After becoming king, Raymond had one of the most significant benefits, he was able to access a lot of resources first. At least until he steps down, he can do so.

When he concentrates on developing tools, he gets long-lost happiness.

Raymond had little knowledge of how to govern the country, but as a skilled craftsman, he was adept at experimenting with new tools and devices.

Occupation affects a person's inclinations.

Like the previous king, Cessac, he always exuded a kind of toughness characteristic of the army, and everything had to go exactly according to plan.

Raymond wanted to change the face of the kingdom by using the methods of craftsmen, to make planting, grazing, transportation, and storage easier and more convenient.

He made a tool.

Raymond named the thing Kenya.

In the traditional farming of the Resurrection Kingdom, ploughing requires a bone plough in the form of a fork, which is dragged by a farmer or a bone horse to loosen and break the soil.

The ken tooth is a V-shaped plough with many bone forks attached to it, and it looks like the dense teeth in a wolf's mouth.

Ploughing is easier and more efficient with Keng.

After repeated tests in the field, it has been proved that the reclamation is indeed quite effective.

"The king is a genius!"

"Marvelous Raymond Your Majesty!"

"The King of Farming! This is the king of our dreams! ”

……

This invention reversed the negative image of Raymond who had broken his promise, and he was praised and embraced by the Bone Ancestors, and he was no longer afraid of cow dung when he went out, and cheers were heard everywhere for him.

Raymond finally straightened his back.

But in the midst of all the praise, there is a different question.

Although the voice is not loud, it seems harsh in a bunch of praises.

"Isn't that too much trouble?"

Little Duke Baron asked.

He watched Raymond's inventions and experiments throughout. Balon's dwelling was located next to the royal palace, and he lived in a secluded place where he could not go on a regular basis.

Baron bluntly said that there is still room for improvement.

Raymond was a little upset.

You can say I'm not a good king, but you can't question my craftsmanship.

In the Intraroyal City, Raymond is one of the best craftsmen!

So he said with a straight face: "I will give you materials, manpower and time, and you will improve." This is your chance to show what you can do, take it for yourself, and do it yourself. ”

The goblin nobles hesitated, but finally agreed.

It took three months to complete the renovation of Kenya.

The new Kenya was towed by a long-tail truck brought by Baron, and a row of bone wheels with plows mounted on the back. The car acts as a traction power in the front, and the bone wheel assembled by the white bones in the back rolls on the ground, and the plough can act on the land at the same time.

The improved Kenya covers a larger area, is easy to operate, does not require a skilled rider, and anyone can drive a long-tail truck with a little learning.

This renovation has added a lot of details.

The first is the addition of long-tail wagons.

The Resurrection Kingdom has been trading with the Twin Serpent Empire for hundreds of years, and Raymond is no stranger to long-tail wagons.

The vehicle resembled a large ant, with a metal ball on the front with four to six thick iron pipes on it and two low-quality crystals in the front.

When galloping, the crystal on the front of the long-tail truck glows, like two weird eyes.

In Baron's words: "That's the warning crystal, it's very important. If the crystal flashes green, it means that the car is normal, and if it flashes red...... It's best to jump out of the car and run away immediately, as the car could explode at any moment. ”

The design of the car body is related to the personality of the goblin clan of the Twin Snake Empire.

Keen on finding new things, they are crazy inventors and shrewd businessmen, and the props and contraptions they create have one thing in common: they are practical, but they are prone to breakage.

Raymond was puzzled: "Why not make a better quality device?" ”

"Because if the quality is too good, everyone can use one product for a long time, and it will be difficult to sell new products. Only if everyone keeps buying, the goblin clan will be profitable. Baron replied honestly.

"I see, the goblin merchant is indeed very good."

Raymond sighed.

"But it's actually very difficult to make a particularly good device. Your Majesty is an experienced craftsman, and I can see that you are very knowledgeable about making all kinds of things, and you should know that the standard of making things that are good and cheap is very high. ”

"In the School of Engineering, teachers also say that the higher the quality of the tools, the more difficult it is to be proportional to the effort and the gain......

Raymond agreed.

It's not hard to make a skeleton dog, as long as you have enough bones and make sure it can run.

However, it is much more difficult to build a bone horse, not only to take into account the balance of the wide body, but also to take into account the fact that the bone horse needs to have a certain weight-bearing capacity, in addition to reducing its weight as much as possible and reducing the pressure on its four legs......

And to take it a step further, it is even more difficult to build a monster out of white bones.

In the past, it took dozens of senior craftsmen to work together to make [White Bone Charles], and it took a lot of time and many failures before it was barely completed. The cost of the whole project is very high, and it is impossible to make a few more pieces.

Manufacturing equipment is like this, if you want to improve the performance and quality a little bit, it may take several times or even dozens of times the effort and hardship.

Baron continued: "The power of the long-tail wagon is goblin gunpowder. ”

"Goblin gunpowder is a very unstable fuel and power source, but it can bring great power after ignition, and many devices of goblin technology are supported by goblin gunpowder."

"At the heart of goblin gunpowder is the reaction of toticrum stone with charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter. The resulting explosions are difficult to balance, so they are usually wrapped in a sturdy metal ball kettle to avoid injuring people. ”

"The goblin gunpowder is stimulated to explode continuously, and by activating the iron rod on the ball cauldron, the traction force is ......"

After listening to Baron's detailed introduction, Raymond learned about Goblin Technology for the first time.

What Goblin Technology wants is mass production, usability, and cheapness, and these three elements are the most important.

Although goblin gunpowder often causes casualties, if the profit is high enough, then these are not a problem.

On the other hand, since GNOME technology itself does not pursue precision and perfection, as long as it can be used, it pays more attention to ready-to-use and practical. So Baron does have the mastery of how to make the [Longtail Wagon] and [Goblin Gunpowder], just like most Goblin Engineers.

"Sulphur should be found near the volcano, but unfortunately the saltpeter that is most in demand is not known where. It will be difficult for the kingdom to reproduce the long-tail wagon. Raymond had some regrets.

"Huh? Why is there a shortage of saltpeter? ”

The goblin's eyes showed puzzlement: "Aren't you trading with the Felt Federation?" The dwarves of that world have the most saltpeter mines in the entire chain of civilizations. ”

Raymond asked the diplomat next to him, "Do we have a saltpeter deal with the Felt Federation?" ”

"Your Majesty, we did not make this transaction. The kingdom's main trade with the Metal Felt Federation was the finished metal tools of all kinds. ”

After the rise of the Resurrection Kingdom, in addition to the Twin Snake Empire of the main civilization, the apostles from other civilization chain worlds also came to visit one after another, and established some trade contacts with this side.

Raymond has only been in office for a short time and doesn't know much about these pasts.

He only knew that the Felt Federation was a world dominated by dwarves, and it didn't seem to deal well with the goblin world of the Twin Snake Empire. The Felt Federation imports crops and meat from the Resurrection Kingdom to solve the problem of food shortages there.

As a result, the Twin Serpents also warned about the Resurrection Kingdom, but they were ignored.

Backed by the god Yao, the kings of previous dynasties had a tougher attitude towards the outside world.

Especially after the appearance of the dog city, the messengers of the gods even looked at the repeated living kingdom, and Yao God officially became one of the masters here. The Twin Snake Empire has lost its upper echelons of superiority and support, and can only sanction and threaten at the trade level.

In the past hundred years, the Resurrection Kingdom has long since completed its self-sufficiency, completely no longer looking at the face of the empire, and gradually established trade with other civilizations, the influence of the Twin Snake Empire on the kingdom has continued to weaken.

The Iron Duke sent his second son to the Resurrection Kingdom to ask for refuge, also because it was difficult for the Twin Snake Empire to reach its tentacles here.

Before and after thinking about it, Raymond told the diplomat: "Write it down, for the follow-up deal with the Ironclad Federation, we must have saltpeter in our list." ”

"Go on, Baron, and talk about your improvements."

The goblin nodded: "Okay, now you can compare the experiments......"

After field tests, the plough area of the new type of reclamation was 3 times that of the old type of reclamation at the same time.

Raymond readily admitted, "I lost, you made something better!" You are indeed a wonderful craftsman and engineer! Amazing invention! ”

"Your Majesty, I rely on the existing technical advantages of Goblin Technology."

Baron showed a rare humility in the goblins: "Actually, the improvement I made was nothing more than a reset of the goblin technology to Kenya, which is not a personal creation. ”

Raymond felt that Baron seemed to be a lot more pleasing to the eye.

He patted the little duke's thin shoulder: "The goblins used to give people the impression of arrogance and arrogance, but Balon, you are a rare humble person among them. ”

"It was because of my father's request."

Baron smiled a little awkwardly: "I have been timid and cowardly since I was a child, and my father told me to remember to be modest and low-key, and not to argue with my brother." Because I am the second son, the title will not fall on my shoulders, he has trained me as a goblin engineer, and has always allowed me to focus on knowledge and engineering technology......"

Raymond was even more overjoyed to hear it.

It turned out that Duke Tie deliberately cultivated in this way to prevent him from competing with his brother for the title, which could be regarded as leaving a way for Baron to live.

This mistake can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Balon, you should do research here, the kingdom will not treat you badly, and when the empire is stable in the future, we will send you back and give you support."

"Thank you very much."

Over the next few years, various materials were sent to the royal city, and Baron led the bone artisans to build one long-tail wagon after another.

The new type of reclamation began to spread in the hands of farmers, more farmland was reclaimed, and crop yields reached new peaks every year.

This young goblin from the empire gradually gained the love and respect of the ancestors of the White Bones, and everyone began to call him Duke of Harvest, and people waved to him warmly wherever he went.

"Lord Duke! Visiting the farm again today? ”

"Ah, don't say that, I'm just here to see how the crops are growing."

"Is the Duke thinking about a new invention of the ranch? Be sure to do experiments on our farm, we're always waiting for you! ”

"Definitely, definitely."

"Hello Duke Harvest, today is a good day, I wish you a pleasant day!"

"Hello and all the best!"

Although he is not a nobleman of the kingdom, everyone calls him that.

……

In the sixth year of Baron's arrival in the kingdom, bad news came from the empire.

Duke Todd died of food poisoning.

The poisoner was a mistress of Duke Todd. After the death of the duke, the poisoner also committed suicide.

The poisoning case was suspicious at every turn, but no one cared about the real killer and why. What's more, the title of Duke of Iron and this large area of dukedom.

The Emperor considered the death of the Iron Duke suspicious, and in order to prevent turmoil and turmoil in the dukedom, the entire dukedom was managed by the Empire until the cause was investigated.

At the same time, the Empire sent emissaries to the Kingdom of the Resurrection.

The envoy asked Baron to go to the imperial capital to meet the emperor, cooperate with the investigation of the death of his brother Todd, and clear his suspicions, and then restore order in the dukedom with the help and guidance of the empire.

……

Ironically, the Empire is the same Boone who had placed Baron on this side.

"The Resurrection Empire has always stated that it does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and the world, so presumably if I bring Duke Baron back to the Empire, the king will not interfere, right?"

Boone was still in that lukewarm manner.

Raymond looked at Baron on the side.

Baron lowered his head, making his already diminutive body even thinner, as if completely shrouded in the shadow cast by Boone.

A depressed sense of dullness filled the palace.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Boone glanced at the dwarf goblin, "Duke, let's go." ”

Baron followed Boone like a marionette.

Before leaving the palace gate, he turned back to Raymond and bowed: "Thank you for taking care of you all these years, Your Majesty, I will remember your kindness." ”

He turned, and the young figure looked stray and small.

"Wait a minute."

Raymond suddenly spoke up: "Ferrick Baron, do you want to stay in this country?" ”

The goblin stiffened.

"King, please don't do anything senseless." Boone turned his head and spoke in warning.

"If you want to stay, then tell me out loud, say, you want to stay. Then you are a citizen of the Resurrection Kingdom, and no one can forcibly take you away under any name. ”

Raymond looked at the goblin's stiff back, "Tell me, Ferick Baron, do you want to stay?" ”

"King, please respect yourself."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Boone's eyes: "My patience with you is limited. ”

"Tell me out loud."

Raymond slowly walked forward: "Tell me, would you like to stay in this country and become the respected Duke of Harvest here, or go back and be at the mercy of the Empire." ”

“……”

Baron's back sundulled violently, his body trembling slightly, and finally he turned his face, snot hanging from under his long pointed nose, and his eyes were red.

"I want to ......"

"Duke." Boone looked down at the dwarf goblin: "This is your fate. ”

“……”

Raymond Ang paced slowly and walked towards the door: "I don't believe in fate, and the gods never declare everyone's fate. The oracle of Lord Yaoshen said that the legends and epics of heroes were created from nothing, and just like this kingdom, no one has ever looked at it since its birth. ”

"But so what? We love it ourselves, we work hard for it, we open up farmland, we raise livestock, we are white bone ancestors with no potential, but we have come to this day. ”

"Even the great god Yao has also sent down the grace of our endeavor, sending scholars of the Yao nationality to support our country, if there is a miracle in this world that depends on hard work, then the miracle that belongs to us is not over."

"When everyone doesn't believe in you, you must not hesitate to believe in yourself, practice your ideals, and move forward even if this road is difficult, this is the only way for a hero."

"Don't weep, don't be afraid, answer me like a warrior."

Raymond shouted, "I ask you, in the name of the king, Ferick Baron, do you want to stay?" ”

"Yes!"

The goblin's chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't help but cry: "I want to stay, I want to stay in the resurrection kingdom!" I don't want to be imprisoned, I don't want to be a puppet, I don't want to be a walking corpse, I want to stay! ”

"Good, good!"

Raymond raised the bone scepter in his hand: "Ferick Baron, I declare that from this day forward, you are a citizen of the Resurrection Kingdom, enjoying all the benefits and protections of the Kingdom. Come, come to me. ”

The goblin ran all the way to Raymond with his head down.

Raymond said in a deep voice, "Now, Lord Apostle, I beg you to leave my people. You have no right to take him away! ”

Wisps of purple smoke and dust came out of Boone's body, and he raised his hand and pointed lightly: "King, I'm afraid you've made a mistake...... I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm just informing you. ”

The Bone Scepter shattered in pieces at the distal end of his finger.

Raymond held Baron behind him and drew his bone sword from his waist.

The next second, Raymond was grabbed by Boone's throat and off the ground.

"Looks like there's going to be another king here." Boone said with a smile.

Raymond wields his shuriken and slashes at his foe's head.

Smack-

The bone sword shattered into two.

At the moment when Boone smashed his fist into Raymond's skull, his whole body was suddenly knocked away by a huge force, breaking the stone pillars on the side in two consecutive pieces, and his burly body fell into the thick wall.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for being late."

A black-clad figure appeared beside Raymond, with a bear-like face and a cunning look in his small eyes.

"His Majesty's performance is truly admirable, you are the king we need, and no one can offend our king here."

Zhiworm looked at Boone who came out of the wall on the side, and his gaze instantly became cold: "Trying to assassinate the king, this foreign force is becoming more and more rampant. ”

"Tell me, which god sent you? Why provoke disputes between empires and kingdoms? What is your purpose? What do you have to do with the foreign attacks on the Twin Serpent Empire before? ”

This remark made Boone stunned: "What do you mean?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

"If you don't want to be caught, then you will not surrender to death."

The corners of the insect's mouth grinned, moved his arms, and showed the tips of his claws: "A mere LV50 rookie, I really don't know how to write death." It's still too comfortable in the world here, and even such a character can show off his might. ”

"Assassinate the king, in a vain attempt to subvert the kingdom's power, provoke the kingdom and the empire to oppose each other, and even the disagreement between the Lord Yaoshen and the Messenger...... It's really vicious. ”

Boone's eyes widened suddenly: "Don't talk nonsense, blood spews!" ”

He suddenly realized that something was wrong: "What are you going to do?" You dare to kill me? I am an apostle of the gods! How do you want to offend Kamui for a secular king? Or is this what Yao God means? ”

"Bold! Dare to offend the gods. ”

A voice rang out in the air.

Catgrass slowly appeared beside Raymond, and she stared at Boone in the distance: "Blasphemer, deserve death." ”

The Wise Worm turned into a cloud of black light and enveloped Boone.

Soon, Boone collapsed on the ground in a pool of blood, and was dragged out by the Wise Worm.

Baron, who witnessed everything, was dumbfounded: "This ...... This ......"

He said with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, is this the work of the Resurrection Kingdom?" And so the apostle put him to death...... Won't there be trouble? ”

"Don't worry."

Raymond looked calm: "My country welcomes all friends to join, and we are not afraid to face any underworld forces." Any evil will be brought to justice, and this is the courage that Lord Yao God has given us. ”

Having said that, he was actually panicking in his heart just now. It was entirely with a temper from above that he confronted the enemy apostle head-on—although Raymond knew in his heart that Catgrass would definitely take action to defend the interests of the kingdom, that is, to protect the interests of Yaoshen.

Now that he thinks about it, he was scared for a while.

Careless.

I was almost sent to the Skeletron Tomb in advance.

"It's a pity for my scepter, I like it very much, it's not easy to find such a handy bone......" A hint of melancholy flashed in Raymond's eyes.

The goblin Baron looked like he wanted to say something.

At this moment, Raymond suddenly felt a huge force descending on him.

"This is...... Yaoshen-sama's gift! ”

He quickly knelt on the ground and thanked the gods for their favor.

It was only after a moment that Raymond came back to his senses of wonderful warmth.

I clearly felt a sublimation of power in the revelation...... ...... is this power [leading by example]?

As long as I can do it, everyone will follow?

Catgrass walked over to Raymond's side.

The Catwoman Apostle smiled at him: "It is really a blessing for the people to have His Majesty in charge of the country, and the kingdom will definitely be famous in all directions within a hundred years!" In the future, please give me a lot of advice. ”

Raymond was submissive.

His heart was full of bitterness.

Originally, Raymond was going to propose to abdicate in the next few days, and the king was really not so easy to sit on.

He had just come face to face with the apostles, and some of them were about to leave their former ego, leaving behind a kingdom story...... Not everyone has the opportunity to confront an apostle head-on.

But who knows.

The apostle was directly killed.

For oneself, the safest place in the resurrection kingdom right now is the throne behind you. Catgrass Lady will do everything in their power to keep the king safe, but if a bone artisan goes missing...... I probably don't particularly care about it.

The king's career has to go on.

Not only must it continue, but it must also be done with all its strength and not to be dismissed.

Raymond looked up to the sky and sighed.

Originally, I only wanted to retire safely from the king's position, but now I am completely immobilized by the Twin Serpent Empire, and I must work tirelessly until I die......

There is indeed a reason why the kings of the past have been extremely disgusted with the Twin Snake Empire.

The declining Twin Snake Empire is the empire that everyone likes to see.

Raymond fell into deep thought.

So, is there anything we can do to help this vast empire speed up this process?

Thanks: It's hard to get a name, it's really hard to support 500 starting coins.
