Chapter 374: Why don't you become a duke? (3/3)

About the eldest sister Afu, Rosen naturally has a very good understanding.

42-star transcendent archmage, the guardian spirit of Angry Waves City, the power of not being lost, and the strongest person in the East.

The existence that can determine the fate of the East with a single word cannot be neglected.

He immediately flew a new plane to the Snow Cover Mountain.

When I arrived at the mountain, I saw a woman who was half a head shorter than Afu, but her eyes were obviously sharp, and her expression and posture were also charming.

In contrast, Afu is like a simple schoolgirl who has not yet stepped out of the campus, and this woman is a bit like a queen who has read a prosperous life.

It is very imposing, high, showy, but with a stinger.

In short, at first glance, you can see that it is the kind of character that is very difficult to fool.

Rosen immediately put away all his Karakuri thoughts.

"Two Sages, salute you."

Scarletana laughed, "Okay, Rosen, don't be so serious, just be casual."

After speaking, she looked at Lawson carefully again, and was suddenly a little surprised: .

"Boy, that mermaid was also tricked by you?"

As soon as she heard this, Afu was stunned, and her eyes widened.

"Rosen, you're really here."

Rosen was very embarrassed, and he felt a sense of shame of being stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and quickly eased up.

"She said she wanted to give me mermaid tears, which could help me break through the extraordinary, and I was very excited. At first, I didn't know what mermaid tears were, so I agreed in a daze. ”

"Who would have thought that would be like that?"

As soon as she heard this, Afu immediately understood: "That's really impossible to refuse, but is it really effective?"

The second half of the sentence is to ask Scarletana.

Scarletana nodded, "It really works, and it's probably one of the most effective."

Afu was taken aback: "Wouldn't that mermaid be coveted by countless people?"

Scarletana smiled slightly, "It's not that simple."

"The mermaid's tears must be given by the mermaid themselves to be effective. The mermaid tears that are forced to be taken are the most terrible soul poison in the world. Not to mention people, God will be finished if he drinks it. ”

She was very interested in looking at Rosen.

"That mermaid has been in the archipelago for more than 300 years, how did you convince her to take the initiative to give it to you?"

Rosen didn't want to talk about it: "Can I keep it a secret?"

Philtana didn't gossip, turned to her sister and said, "Afu, now he really has the possibility of being promoted to extraordinary."

Afu was half happy and half worried: "Sister, let's get down to business."

Seeing her sister's demeanor, Scarletana sighed secretly in her heart and got to the point.

"The East is in chaos right now, and I am the supreme guardian spirit of the East, and I have the feeling of driving a sailboat through the storm, surrounded by stormy waves, but there seems to be light ahead."

"I was afraid that one would not get it right, but instead of entering the light, I overturned the ship."

"So, I've come to seek the advice of the sage."

Rosen stretched out his hands: "Sage, you think too highly of me, I don't have the ability to do this."

Scarlet Tana smiled, "Being overly modest is not a virtue, Rosen."

He comforted him again: "You can say whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you say something wrong."

In that case, Rosen is not welcome.

"Sage, can you tell us more about the situation in the Lower East?"

Scarletana shrugged her shoulders, "Don't you know very well?" Maybe you know better than I do. ”

Rosen was not complacent, and said seriously: "Sage, this is not the same, you are looking down from the sky, but I am sending a few mortals to collect some outlines, how can you be so comprehensive?" ”

"You're right, right?"

Fertana began to introduce.

"The duke owes a lot of money, not only to the commoners, but also to the surrounding city lords. The five major cities, on average, owe about 20 million kroner each. ”

Ave laughed when she heard this: "Delencis is really a talent who spends money. ”

The average person really can't spend that much money.

Scarletana laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Speaking of which, he's still my grandson's grandson, which makes me feel both laughing and ashamed."

Rosen didn't say anything sarcastic, he was realistic.

"You can't blame the duke entirely, a big reason is the ill-intentioned connivance of the major city lords."

Filtana nodded: "Yes, indeed, but the covetousness from the lower ranks exists for eternity, and if the superior cannot even cope with this challenge, then he is not worthy of being the superior." ”

She went on to describe the situation in the East.

"Because of your idea, the Duke began to raid the homes of the wealthy families of Nutao City to pay off the arrears, which caused the people's resentment to boil, so much so that when they arrived at Master Raven's place, the accumulated resentment exploded at once."

"The subsequent duke's response was even more messy, causing his prestige to drop to the lowest point."

"At present, except for the most elite Thunder Guard, which can still command, the rest of Angry Waves City no longer obeys the Duke's orders."

"That is, to become a bare-bones duke."

These Rosen roughly know: "And then? ”

"Of course, the Duke of Guang Pole can't repay the money, so the major city lords began to try to encroach on all kinds of property and even land in Nutao City in the name of debt collection."

"Then, the Angry Waves Mage Alliance will appear."

"The Archmages of Raging Waves City, led by Master Raven, have formed a new army of mages, warriors, and new magic weapons invented by you, known as the Storm Alliance."

"And just half an hour ago, in the Sea Breeze Valley south of Angry Waves City, a major battle broke out between the Storm Alliance Army and the Ocean Legion from White Sands City."

"The two sides collided like a colliding tide."

"Under the collision, more than half of the casualties of the Ocean Legion had to retreat urgently."

"And the alliance army suffered no more than 100 casualties, and pursued all the way to victory, and finally captured the Sea Breeze Fortress that originally belonged to Baisha City."

Rosen was taken aback: "Is it already hit?" ”

It was going a lot faster than he expected.

At the same time, I also feel that his firearms business is about to explode.

Scarletana naturally knew what Rosen was thinking, glared at Rosen with a smile, and said cold words in a tactful tone.

"Young man, you're sucking the blood of the people of the East."

Rosen shook his head repeatedly: "Sage, I may indeed benefit from this battle, but from another point of view, the Golden Land has been peaceful for a long time, and I have long forgotten the tragedy of the war, let alone how to fight. ”

"And the transcendent chaos is just around the corner, and it may not be a bad thing to sharpen your edge at this time, right?"

Afu gave Rosen a helping voice on the side: "Eldest sister, that's right. ”

Scarletana naturally knows this, and what she is confused about is what the future Eastside should look like?

She looked at Rosen and asked the question.

Lawson is actually confused.

Because this is a different world with gods and mana, it is completely different from the earth, and it is the first time he has experienced it.

Therefore, in accordance with the method of scientific research, I first began to summarize the current situation in the eastern border.

"Well, the current situation in the East is that the Duke is shrinking into Thunder Castle, the Storm Guardian is almost paralyzed due to salary arrears, and many of these warriors have even switched to the Storm Alliance."

"The major city lords plan to divide the city of Angry Waves, but the Storm Alliance of the civil organization of the city of Angry Waves is fighting against the major city lords instead of the duke."

Scarletana nodded, and added, "And you guy, you're lying on the East Border and sucking blood!" ”

Rosen pointed in the direction of the Great Floating City Research Bureau at the foot of the mountain.

"The blood I sucked didn't satisfy my selfish desires, I was trying to build a big floating city."

"That's why my divine punishment hasn't come."

Rosen was startled and immediately said, "Sage, if you think my approach has crossed the line, then I will change it immediately." ”

Scarletana waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll scare you, Father God said that mortal things are self-determined by mortals, and the eastern realm is also mortal, so naturally everyone has their own ability." ”

"You can suck blood, that's your ability, and I have nothing to say."

In that case, Rosen continued to analyze.

"The ultimate purpose of all this is to promote the development of magic."

Then, as long as it serves this purpose, it is secretly supported. If it doesn't meet it, ignore it. ”

Scarletana asked, "But what is conformity, and what is not?" ”

Rosen naturally thought about it.

"The eastern territory is densely populated and has countless talents, but its resources are limited, and most of the resources are occupied by the great nobles and lords."

"And many talented mages have a hard life, and they have to run around to make a living, and it is difficult for them to concentrate on their spells."

"It's not fair, it's a huge waste of talent."

"So, I think, resources in the East have to be redistributed."

"Those talented and gifted mages deserve more social resources, so that they can truly focus their talents on magic."

Hearing this, Afu suddenly said, "Rosen, do the words you once said to Xia Lina still count?" ”

Lawson was stunned for a moment, and didn't think for a while: "What are you talking about?" ”

Afu repeated the words of that night.

"You said that if you become a duke, you will vigorously promote magic education, greatly lower the threshold for civilians to become official mages, and let the territory have as many mages as possible."

"You said that as long as the Golden Land has a sufficient number of powerful and powerful mages who have mastered the most advanced spells, then they should be able to take care of the world without relying on gods."

Rosen immediately remembered that it was him and his comrade-in-arms Xia Lina talking nonsense in bed.

But it was Hu Kan at the time, but at the moment he has a trace of ambition.

He is a golden baron, and he is also a god-given earl, and the distance from the duke's throne does not seem to be far away.

But it only seems that there is no duke who is not a god son in the land of gold.

Rosen didn't think about being a duke himself.

He just wanted to put Heya Jiali as a duke, and then take care of the east as the duke's husband.

Scarletana listened to Aph's words, but fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she opened her mouth and asked Afu, "Did Lawson do this in his own territory?" ”

Afu nodded: "I've been doing this, and now the effect is not obvious, in the next twenty years, whether it is Moby Dick Island or the Crescent Moon Territory, it is estimated that a large number of new logic mages will emerge." ”

"He even developed a potion version of the multi-son potion, which only costs 5 crowns per bottle, which completely solves the problem of the mage's few."

Scarletana looked at Rosen, and a thought flashed through her heart.

"Why don't you become a duke?"

Rosen was shocked in his heart and immediately spoke his mind.

"No, it's not good, it's too unconventional. Let Heyagari inherit it, and I will be the duke's husband. ”

Scarletana shook her head.

"Heya Jiali doesn't have this ability, and she doesn't have enough prestige, so she can naturally do it in normal times, but in this extraordinary period, she can't control the situation, let alone the big ship in the east."

After saying this, he also felt that it was unrealistic to let Rosen be a duke.

Although he has the ability, he is a native of the North, and he is too young, and he is only a high-level mage himself.

If he becomes the Duke of the East, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the major cities in the East may have to change borders immediately.

As the guardian spirit, she can of course use strong means to interfere in the mortal world and push Rosen to the throne.

But this is a great violation of the oracle of the Father, and the credibility of the separation of gods and mortals, which had taken a hundred years to build, would also collapse in an instant.

So, her tone suddenly changed: "Forget it, I haven't said this, don't think about it." ”

Rosen immediately said, "Sage rest assured."

"I have a very clear understanding of my abilities and status, and at most I want to be a duke husband."

Scarletana laughed, "If you really have the ability to put Heyagari on the throne, then you should be." ”

After communicating like this, her confusion eased a little.

But there are still some worries.

"I'm worried that the eastern frontier is too chaotic and will cause too much damage to the existing material wealth, so that the progress of building the Great Floating City will be greatly delayed."

"After all, time is running out."

Both Rosen and Ave understand which time this time refers to.

Rosen smiled: "This is not simple, pass down the oracle, agree not to destroy the workshop, not to kill the genius mage, whoever violates it will be punished by God."

"But God the Father says not to interfere with the workings of the mortal world."

"I think God's intention is to promote the development of magic, as long as it meets that."

"Obviously, killing a genius mage will greatly slow down the development of the spell. Destroying a precision equipment workshop is a huge waste. ”

Philtana fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she spoke.

"Rosen, your statement is very referential, but after all, the current situation is the first time it has appeared in the golden land, and I am still a little unsure."

"I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so that there will be irreparable losses."

The thing is so big that she has never experienced it, so that she, a strong person who is not confused, is a little confused, and she suffers from gains and losses.

Of course, this confusion is not a confusion about one's own cultivation, but a confusion about the general trend of the world.

I don't know where the times will go.

But obviously, no one can give an answer.

Eventually, Scartana said, "Let's just look at it for a year, and then I'll make a final decision when there is a clear trend." ”

Rosen immediately praised from the bottom of his heart: "The Sage is truly wise."

Philtana naturally knew that Rosen's praise was sincere, and she was very happy.

She looked at Rosen with a look of pity.

"If you are born in the Duke's house, then I don't want to do anything, just let Delance pass the throne to you, and I will hand over the eastern border to you to toss."

"It's a pity."

Rosen smiled: "Sage, you did it easily, but you pushed me into the fire pit." It will take me at least a few years of intrigue to really get on my feet, and this good time is wasted. ”

"Hahaha, you're such a sober boy."

"Then let them make trouble first."

After speaking, the golden light flashed on her body, and the person was already gone.

Only Rosen and Afu were left on the field.

After a moment of silence, Afu asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, what is the mermaid's tears?"

Seeing that she really wanted to know, Rosen gave a hint: "What our children drink every day."

Afu was stunned: "Will there be a child if you don't give birth?"

Lawson nodded: "But it's not always there, it's only when it's pleasant. Hey, let's not talk about that. ”

The more you talk about it, the more embarrassing it becomes.

Afu is still curious: "Can she stand you?"

Seeing that she was so curious, Rosen simply pushed the question back to her.

"Didn't you say you couldn't stand it at first, but you didn't come to me often?"

Afu's cheeks flushed: "You guy, really. . . I don't even know what to say about you. ”

Perhaps it was the strange words that inspired her to have strange thoughts, but Lawson stayed for another half an hour before leaving the Snow Cover Mountain.

Back in Moby Dick City, Lawson immediately drove up to make arrangements.

Just two things.

First, greatly expand the Moby Dick Legion, increase the number by 10,000, and just form half of the flying legion and go directly to the horse.

The original plan was to deliver the prince's 30 planes, but first 10 were given, and the remaining 20 were used by their own use, anyway, the deadline was still two months, and it was completely in time.

Use it yourself first, and the 20 mid-level mages from the Crescent Territory of the Northern Realm who are already training will directly rush to the shelves.

The mana wave detectors on the coastline had already been arranged, and they were all activated at this time.

"Boys, just one request, without permission, not a single fly is allowed to fly in within 20 meters of the island!"

If you want to neutralize arms dealers, you must be tough enough, otherwise you will become the arsenal of the strong.

"Yes, lord!"

A group of young people split into two groups and worked day and night shifts, with the day mage excitedly flying the plane into the sky.

Second, the gunsmithing workshops worked overtime to make weapons, and the price of the piece tripled.

Under three times the salary, the refining apprentices in the workshop are simply like crazy, and they can't wait for one more pair of hands to come out.
