Chapter 0271: Sixty-four years old
Grand Duke of the Danube and Duke of the Long Chain of Islands, the newest title of Aldington, at the Royal Palace of Carthage, Gaisarik announced that the long chain of islands of the Kingdom of Vandal-Alain would be granted to Aldington, which together are half the size of the Grand Duchy of the Danube.
Moreover, the long and narrow island chain is an important place connecting the northern and southern continents, and every year the trade tax alone is enough to eat a mouthful of oil, even if the trade is now withered due to the war.
Originally, there were three earl families here, but unfortunately they were wiped out by the knights of the Holy Baierlan Empire before they could run, one count was killed in battle, and two counts delivered.
So the long and narrow chain of islands became borderlands, and was generously gifted to Aldington by King Gaisarik and canonized as a duke.
In his mind, Aldington already had two sons, and his grandson was the eldest son, and it would be better to compete for the position of Grand Duke of the Danube in the future, and if not, he could also come over and inherit the position of Duke of the long and narrow island chain, in short, he would make a lot of money.
The Civil War ended abruptly with the intervention of the Amber Dragon.
But the situation in the southern continent is still the last link, that is, the Teutonic Kingdom of Erwuzai, which originally had the support of the Gallic Empire, and the Teutonic Kingdom jumped up and down, very cheerful.
As a result, the Gallic Empire retreated, and the Teutonic kingdom was dumbfounded.
The radicals in the Triple Alliance believed that the Teutonic kingdom should be exterminated and the territory of the Teutonic kingdom should be divided. It's just that the Gallic Empire and the Holy Baierland Empire both announced their protection of the Teutonic Kingdom at the first time, threatening that if the Triple Alliance divides up the Teutonic Kingdom, they will go south again.
The Triple Alliance was no longer so afraid of the threat of the two empires, but the three kings still asked Aldington for his opinion.
Without Aldington, it would not be easy to carve up the Teutonic kingdom.
However, Aldington gave a surprising answer: "I'm tired of worldly warfare, and you decide, I'm not going to do it myself." ”
A conversation with the Amber Dragon made him feel detached, and he had jumped out of the Rafa continent.
He is a man who wants to become a demigod, and when he really becomes a demigod, what he said in the Rafah continent is a holy decree, and there is no need to think about any continental hegemony. Moreover, the Rafah continent is too large, and it is difficult to maintain unity after unification, which is like forcibly uniting the earth into one country.
Then when the country is unified, the internal provinces and cities, how to fight and how to fight.
It is simply impossible to develop in peace and harmony.
The general trend of the world is that if you join for a long time, you will divide it, and if you divide it for a long time, it will not make much sense to forcibly reunify it once. As long as Aldington achieves demigodship, he can rule the world, and if his descendants have the ability, they can naturally follow his footsteps and continue to rule the Rafah continent, if they don't have the ability, they obviously can't maintain their power.
Seeing Aldington's resolute tone, although the three kings were disappointed, they did not force it - they no longer had the confidence to force Aldington to do anything.
Of course, the Triple Alliance did not do nothing, they gathered the Knights, forced the old king of the Teutonic kingdom to abdicate, let the prince succeed to the throne, signed a contract to accept the supervision of the Triple Alliance, and from now on, the Teutonic kingdom must follow in the footsteps of the Triple Alliance.
And so it goes.
After the situation on the continent was completely stabilized, Aldington began to concentrate on cultivation, and he wandered around the Rafa continent while exploring the power of the illusionary light.
Before you know it, twenty years have passed.
Although Aldington is strong, his fertility has not been delayed, and in addition to his eldest son Oscar and second son Olympic, he has gained two more women and a boy.
Now the eldest son, Oscar, has reached adulthood, went to the long and narrow island chain, and inherited the position of the Grand Duke of the Pearl Sea - the Grand Duke of the Pearl Sea was formed by the merger of the Duke of the Long and Narrow Island and the Duke of the Spear of Suebi, and Oscar's father-in-law was the Duke of the Spear among the Suebi, and he had only one daughter, so he gave his title and territory to Oscar.
Eventually, under Aldington's instigation, the two dukes merged to form what is now the Grand Duchy of the Pearl Sea.
The second son, Olympiad, also reached adulthood and inherited the title of Grand Duchy of the Danube.
To Aldington's pity, although the eldest son and the second son can be called geniuses, and have awakened the power of thunder and the power of ice respectively, the gap is still obvious compared to himself back then - the biggest difference should be that there is no golden finger and the height is restricted.
The two daughters have also become more and more prominent, and they are sought after by royal families of various countries, and even the heirs of the two empires have come to ask for marriage.
Even though Aldington has rarely been seen in the eyes of the world during these twenty years, stories about him have long been spread across the continent of Rafa, and many people insist that if anyone can break through the demigods, it is Aldington. Even if he can't break through, Aldington is invincible.
Such a powerful dragon knight can live for at least two hundred years.
Now Aldington is only in his forties, that is to say, he can still call the wind and rain for more than 150 years, and whoever marries his daughter will be stable for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry, first of all, follow their own choice, even if it's just a poor boy." Aldington is not blindly pursuing any wealthy marriages for her daughter's marriage.
The right person is important, but love can also be considered - at his level, it is enough for his daughter to pursue love.
Of course, parents still need to be gatekeepers.
Furthermore.
Princess Gal Gadot also bore Aldington a third son, whom he named Ultron. Ultron, who was already nine years old, was carefully identified and found out that he did not have the conditions to cultivate Dou Qi. Aldington also regrets this, he is classified as the strongest person in the world, and he can't change his personal physique.
So he decided to send Ultron to the Hall of Manifestation, ready to see if he was like cultivating the priest system or cultivating the magician system, in short, he would not let Ultron be mediocre.
The knighthood is also ready early, Duke Cronoke.
This is the title of Duke Aurelor who has been promoted to Dragon Knight, because his two elder brothers have been assigned to the Grand Dukeship, Aurenor decided to pass on his duke position to Ultron.
That's it.
Another twenty years have passed.
At the age of sixty-four, Aldington finally mastered the power of illusion and spied into the shackles of this world, and then, he came to the Sea of Mists to meet the Divine Amber Magic Dragon.
"Here you are, Aldington."
"Yes, are you ready for the contract, Amber?"
"Come on, come on, I can't wait, but have you really thought about it?" The Amber Dragon looked at Aldington with wide eyes, "Once you choose to break through the demigods, the Dark Star will soon rise into the sky, the Misty Giant will awaken from its slumber, and the world may be destroyed again." ”
"Then I'll come back later, and I won't delay these decades." With that, Aldington turned and flew away.
The amber dragon was stunned for a long time before rolling its eyes, then sinking into the lake and continuing to sleep.
