Chapter 680: Choice
For players, building territories is arguably the part they have been exposed to the most since the beginning of the game.
However, building a territory is not so easy.
It's like many sand table building games, most players build coffins, and only a few big guys can build castles and fly planes. The work of territorial construction is more cumbersome, Duanmu Huai remembers that the enduring topic of territorial construction in the original forum is about the topic of territorial construction, of course, most people like the agricultural world and the garden world, and some people like to build nests or forge the world.
It's just one thing to like it, and it's another thing to make it.
Fortunately, there are many players who have graduated from urban management majors, and they can not only create a perfectly circular territory, but also create blueprints to sell to other playersβββ which is somewhat relieved for many players.
After all, most people belong to the level of a sandbox house that can only build a coffin, or at most a ventilated coffin, and if you let them plan a city, it will really kill them.
Of course, Duanmu Huai in the game world has no chance for this kind of thing, or most soul walker players don't care about this, their combat power all comes from the fragmented world and soul cards, so there is no need to engage in conscription planets, agricultural planets or forging planets like other professions.
The soul walker pays attention to a noble essence is not much more expensive, and your conscription planet has millions of soldiers, and it is estimated that the combat effectiveness is not as strong as my team.
Of course, on the other hand, it doesn't hurt if someone dies a million, but if you die one, you have to cry to death.
But Duanmu Huai is naturally not in the mood to play any city skyline, Stefal also sells city blueprints, many times players really can't go to Stefal to buy a blueprint to build the same, what Chinese, Japanese, European, and the kind of fantasy style that players talk about the most.
Well, the reason why I say it is relish is because the blueprints of fantasy-style cities are almost all carved out of a mold, which is basically a circular city wall on the outside, divided into four areas inside, and then put the royal city in the middle to finish. In fact, the royal city of another world in many anime games is also like this, so that players complain about whether these authors are all made with the same template.........
Duanmu Huai didn't use this common template, after all, he also had to think about aesthetics, so Duanmu Huai bought a blueprint for the construction of a city called Ilusil from Stefael.
The city was chosen because it was also Gothic like the Inquisition, and the city was full of Gothic minarets, buildings and churches. And the Inquisition Court is such an organization in the final analysis, and Duanmu Huai feels that Ilusil is still quite representative.
After all, this territory is the face of the Inquisition, and Duanmu Huai also wants others to see the majesty of the Inquisitionβββ strictly speaking, the Inquisition is not a good angel or a messenger of justice like Tyre or Thom, once it is found that it is related to the evil god, it will immediately turn into the most terrifying blade and completely destroy everything.
So the sense of oppression is far more important than affinity.
Duanmu Huai has come to this day, it is pure imperial style, steel, skulls and churches are his symbols, and he does not plan to change it. And the Gothic church is really beautiful and atmospheric, and it looks very comfortable.
After Duanmu Huai threw the blueprint to the Night Guard, he left it alone, and the next thing was what the advisors and Night Watch had to do. He is a great inquisitor, and he can't spend his time every day on how to repair the wall.
So after Duanmu Huai determined the general development plan of the territory, he returned to Luminusβββ thank goodness, this time at least he didn't have to climb out of Aurelia's bathroom again.
And by his side, only Ogis remained.
However, not long after Duanmu Huai came to Luminas, he was arrested.
"Where have you been these days?"
The black-haired maid grabbed Duanmu Huai with an unhappy look.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has been sending people to look for you, but you can't find it."
"Drink the flower wine."
"Flower wine? What kind of wine do you want to drink in the palace differently? β
"Hehehe, I'm afraid the palace won't provide it."
Seeing that the black-haired maid looked silly, Duanmu Huai stopped teasing her.
"Okay, let's just say anything, could it be that my reward has been approved?"
"This ..............."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the black-haired maid's face changed.
"No, not really, but ........."
"If you have something to say, you can say it."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Recently, the conflict between us and the Duchy of Levion has intensified, and His Majesty has ordered Her Royal Highness the Princess to go and investigate it herself........."
"Isn't your princess not on good terms with the king?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai directly put a question mark, where is there such a thing? The people have just returned to the dynasty in triumph, and you don't even have a reward on your hind feet, so you send them out again, and the friction between the countries is not that the two countries are at war, as for letting the princess go out in person? It's only been a few days?
"Of course not!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's disrespectful inquiry, the black-haired maid hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.
"Actually, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty had a good relationship in the past, but since Her Majesty fell ill......... Just ........."
The black-haired maid looked unspeakable, and Duanmu Huai was not interested in these royal family ethics dramas.
"That's none of my business, so what does Aurelia want me to do?"
"Because this situation has something to do with sea monsters."
"What the hell is a sea monster?"
I have to say that hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and the black-haired maid hurriedly explained.
"Our country and the Duchy of Levion have always been across the sea, and the exchanges between the two sides are through the Silent Sea, but during this time, there were sea monsters attacking merchant ships in the Silent Sea, and many ships were sunk because of the sea monsters, and many people were killed and injured."
"But what does that have to do with you? You raised the sea monster? β
"How is that possible? But the sea monster only attacked the ships of the Duchy of Levion, not the ships of our Luminus, so ......... The Duchy of Revion asked us for an explanation. β
"So that Alzheimer's sent Aurelia away?"
Duanmu Huai smiled and nodded.
"Well, if you think about it carefully, the naval battle is good, even if you lose, forget it, if you win the battle, the ship will sink, and most of the time in the sea will end up drowning. It's easy to explain, and what happened on the ship, even if others know, they can't spread it, right? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ What do you mean? β
The black-haired maid frowned and stared at Duanmu Huai dissatisfied.
"You say this as if His Majesty intends to kill Her Royal Highness........."
"Isn't it? I don't believe it, it's so urgent, you have to go to Aurelia, or is there no one else for you Luminas? β
"This ......... Of course not ........."
There are many princesses around Duanmu Huai, and he also knows about the situation in a similar world.
Basically, there are two types of princesses.
One is a real power like An, don't look at her fishing in school all day long, but she is qualified to approve government affairs, and many kings' government affairs are basically approved by An. She is only eight years old, and she is the strongest magic princess in Manalia, except for a little bit of jumping out sometimes, she basically has no defects.
The other is like Gurella, who has the name of a princess, but other than that, it's basically a vase. Ann in Manalia was able to directly order the legion to act, and Grua was probably not listened to by many people in Regnes. When others call her Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is considered to give her face.
Aurelia is basically a princess in the former category, but the problem is that she is still a princess.
To put it simply, if the king did not die violently, she could not resist the king.
Hey, why didn't you go directly to the throne and kill that old fool with a sword when you went back?
Isn't that a remake of a classic?
"You don't believe it? It's easy to prove it. β
Duanmu Huai sneered and looked at the black-haired maid.
"In this case, you go back and tell Aurelia that she propose to the king that I be in charge of investigating the matter, and if you are not at ease, you can send a trustworthy person to follow me, and Aurelia can also vouch for herself. When the time comes, you will see if His Majesty the King nods or not. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ How do I think you're doing something........."
After listening to Duanmu Huai's taunt, the black-haired maid stomped her foot, and then she thought uneasily for a moment.
"I see, I'll pass it on to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Duanmu Huai didn't go to the palace, so he didn't know what the black-haired maid conveyed, but when he saw Aurelia with a cold face and the black-haired maid who also lowered her head in front of him the next morning, Duanmu Huai almost guessed the process.
"Hehehe, how does it feel to be framed by your father?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ It wasn't my father's idea. β
In the face of Duanmu Huai's taunt, Aurelia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
"It was Christ's idea, that suspicious man manipulated his father, that's why he ..............."
"It doesn't matter."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"The question is, what do you want to do now? Obediently follow his words and run into the sea to fish for sea monsters? β
"Is there any other way?"
"Of course."
Hearing Aurelia's rhetorical question, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"If you enter the palace now and kill the man who manipulated the king, won't there be nothing left?"
"Huh?"
I have to say that Duanmu Huai's proposal suddenly surprised Aurelia.
"But......... If it weren't for him, my father would have died long ago........."
"As far as I can see, he's no different from the living dead now."
Duanmu Huai looked very calm.
"An old fool with a slurred tongue, it is a crime against the entire nation of Luminus to let him sit on the throne. Think about it, Your Highness Aurelia, how many of those soldiers in the Northland Fortress died because of your father's stupid decisions? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, Aurelia didn't answer right away, but gritted her teeth.
"There is no eternity in royal power, Your Highness the Princess."
Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at Aurelia.
"Do you want to watch this country go down? After all, one day, his life will come to an end, and you'......... Will be crowned king. β
Saying this, the corners of Duanmu Huai's mouth curled slightly.
"Are you going to choose your father, or the country?"
