Chapter 393: Father-in-law, Take Care of the Stalls and Give It to Me (5/5)
Angry Waves, Thundering Castle.
Duke Storm Delance stood alone in the golden hall, his eyes fixed on the lightning spear suspended motionless in the center of the hall.
This is actually a bone spear, which is sharpened from the bones of the peak powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, and the shape is just a large sewing needle, which is not good-looking at all.
But its modest appearance is so powerful that everyone ignores it.
It hovered at a height of about 1 meter, and from time to time thin pieces of blue lightning would spawn and annihilate in the void in the air around the tip and body of the spear.
Anyone who has eyes knows that this thing must contain terrible power when they see such a vision.
Dralicis was a little sad because he felt like he was going to lose the artifact soon.
Whether his daughter inherits the title, or that northern boy inherits, this spear has nothing to do with him.
Just as he was staring at the artifact, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the main hall, followed by a familiar voice from behind him: "Lord Duke, the Count of the Islands is here, coming from heaven." ”
This is his most loyal Thunder Guard, the rank 9 peak Grand Samurai Wren. Denan.
He was a very serious and old-fashioned person, and he didn't have any expression on his face except Mu Ran, at least not in the past ten years.
But now, there was a hint of horror on this wooden and almost rigid face.
Delance didn't understand: "Isn't it normal for him to fly in the sky as a mage?" ”
"No, no, no, it's not that I'm flying in the sky, I'm sitting on a disc that is bigger than the Lord of the Sea!"
"Floating City?!"
Delance was stunned for a moment: "Was he get it out so quickly?" ”
Counting the time, it's only less than eight months, right?
He quickly turned around, took a few big strides, and rushed to the 20-meter-high door of the golden hall, and then saw the huge flying object in the sky that was slowly approaching.
With a diameter of more than 150 semimi, it is disc-shaped, flat at the bottom of the ball, dark gray throughout, and has a dense and neat hole on the lower sphere.
It is indeed much larger than the Lord of the Sea, and when it is suspended at an altitude of about 600 meters and flies on the surface of the Bilang River at a speed that is neither fast nor slow, it makes people feel a terrifying momentum.
It doesn't feel like a great power that mortals can grasp.
At this moment, the entire Angry Waves City was alarmed, and countless people rushed out of their homes, climbed to a high place with a wide field of vision, and looked at the behemoth that went up the river.
On both sides of the Bilang River, there are even denser spectators, from the peddlers and pawns to the masters and ministers, who can't keep calm.
Shock, horror, apprehension, terror, all kinds of emotions enveloped the city of angry waves, condensed as if it were a real thing.
Desis looked at it in amazement, both shocked and envious in his heart.
If he could save some money, didn't mess things up, and then invested all his money in this floating city, then the one standing on the floating city and crossing the city of angry waves at this moment is him Lances.
Surely countless people will look up to him, and his fame will surely spread throughout the Golden Land.
What a pity!
After a while, the Floating City came to the vicinity of the Thundering Castle, and three figures floated down above the Floating City, quickly flying towards the Thundering Castle.
There are three people, namely Rosen, Heya Gari, and the Duchess.
The three of them also saw Delance, so they quickly floated towards the door of the golden hall, and after a while, they landed at the door of the golden hall.
"Father~"
"Father-in-law~"
"Deran~"
The three of them greeted the Duke separately.
Delance's frustration calmed down a little, and although he didn't make the Floating City, at least it still belonged to Duke Storm's family.
The glory of the family is naturally also his glory.
It's a little frustrating, but it's better than nothing.
So, Delance held his head high and raised the old man's shelf.
"Rosen, have the legions of the rebellious lords been defeated?"
"It has been defeated, and all the rebellious lords and families have been imprisoned, just waiting for the judgment of the father-in-law."
Drancis breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a thought flashed through his mind: 'Now I finally don't have to pay back.' ’
Debt-free, light.
So a smile appeared on his face: "You did a very good job." ”
Just wanted to praise a few words, and remembered the conversation in the night, so his face became gloomy again: "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"Forcing me to make a resignation announcement? Shall I make way for you? ”
Lawson spread his hands: "Father-in-law, there are many people here, let's go into the hall and talk, right?" ”
"Okay, then go into the temple and say."
The four of them entered the golden hall together.
Arriving in the center of the main hall, standing around the various artworks created by countless masters, Delance walked straight to the lightning spear in the center of the main hall.
He had to hold the artifact to speak confidently.
But as soon as he walked five meters away from the artifact, a light flashed around the artifact, and a woman appeared.
This person was about 1.65 meters, with a delicate face, a round and delicate figure, and a clean and simple over-the-knee silk dress, like a female apprentice studying at the Storm Magic Academy.
But the thick dark golden hair and dark golden eyes clearly indicated the identity of his identity as a god son, and the momentum that inadvertently leaked on his body made Delance feel very palpitated.
Of course, Dralicis knew the other party, and immediately saluted respectfully: "Holy Cletana, I salute you." ”
Scarletana reached out and grabbed the lightning spear, danced lightly with one hand a few times, and smiled: "Deran~ My children and grandchildren, there is no need to hold the weapon in your hand when the family talks. ”
As soon as he heard this, Delance 'chuckled' in his heart, and suddenly felt very bad: "Ancestor, you don't support me either, you want to pass on the family title to an outsider?!" ”
Scarletana sighed softly, "I don't want to, but who told you not to be angry?" ”
Derland Seaston looked depressed, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart: "Ancestor, it is indeed a great honor for Rosen to build the Floating City. ”
"But he has just violated tradition and arrested the big lords of the cities in the east, and if the major cities don't have those big lords, they will definitely fall into chaos quickly."
"At this time, only I, the rightful Duke of Storm, have the ability to end the chaos in the major cities."
Scarletana smiled and asked, "How are you going to end the chaos?" ”
"Of course, it is to select the second-level noble families in the major cities, glorify one of them, and make him the new great lord."
Scarletana looked disappointed: "After such a busy circle, hasn't anything changed?" ”
Delance was stunned: "Then what else can you do?" Let all the cities belong to the City of Angry Waves? ”
He shook his head again and again: "Ancestor, this can't be done at all. ”
"Because what happened in another city will take several days, or even more than half a month, to be transmitted back to Angry Waves City, and my order will be transmitted back again, and a month will pass, which will only lead to greater chaos."
"The only way to do this is to delegate power to the new lord and let him manage it on his behalf, and if something happens, hold the lord accountable."
Scarlet Tana smiled faintly: "Delan~ These truths, don't I understand your ancestors, do you want to teach them again?" ”
Although he was laughing, his tone was not cold, but Delance heard a hint of impatience in it.
He was suddenly terrified in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what should I do?" ”
Scarletana looked at Rosen, "You come on." ”
Rosen took a step forward: "There is no longer a need for a Great Lord in the East, and the major cities will be integrated into a single unit, all ruled by Duke Storm and his ministers. ”
"As for the problem of poor communication of information, there is a ready-made solution, which is to use planes to transport emergency information back and forth."
Delance was stunned: "Airplane. Isn't this thing expensive? Can it be used as a letter? ”
Rosen smiled: "Father-in-law, so far, I have sold 80 planes, and my own planes on Moby Dick Island have reached 120, as long as 10 are allocated for sending letters, won't it solve the problem of information delay?" ”
A plane would take off from Red Rock City, which is the farthest away from Angry Waves City, and it would take up to 1 hour to arrive, while if it was Baisha City, 500 meters away, it would not even take half an hour.
Desis was shocked when he heard this: "So, you want to be the only king of the East?" ”
Rosen shook his head: "No, it's just that the East Realm is more closely united." ”
"But to really govern the Eastern Frontier well, we must not only rely on the Duke of Storm, but also rely on the help of countless outstanding talents in government departments at all levels. And if you want the eastern realm to develop better, you need the joint efforts of countless mages. ”
Delance smiled coldly.
"Your idea is naturally good, but the reason why tradition is tradition is because there are countless supporters among the people, and if you forcibly change the tradition, it will definitely cause a tsunami of resistance among the people."
"When the time comes, how will you rule a group of uncooperative people? Are you putting your gun to their heads to force them to obey? ”
Rosen naturally knew this truth, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Father-in-law, the real stakes are at stake, and it is actually only those lords and nobles who are resolutely opposed to changing traditions. The big lords are gone, and there are still small lords, and they naturally have to desperately protect their interests. ”
"But as long as these little lords don't exist, then there will be no resistance, and there will be support from countless civilians."
Desis was stunned: "How could the little lord not?" ”
Rosen smiled slightly: "Naturally, you didn't get it, father-in-law." ”
Delance was startled and shook his head repeatedly.
"Me? I'm not going to do such a bad thing! ”
didn't think about it, but Lawson got serious.
"Father-in-law, the big lord is openly rebellious and has been deprived of his glory by you, but the big lord dares to rebel, but he needs the support of the little lord, are these little lords innocent?"
Delance nodded: "Of course they are guilty. ”
"Therefore, the father-in-law might as well take this opportunity to come to a complete liquidation and uproot the old forces. The resistance to change is gone. ”
Hearing this, Delance finally understood: "Are you going to let me be this wicked man, and when I destroy the old forces, you will naturally succeed to the throne?" ”
"Father-in-law is wise."
Deses was furious: "You are shrewd, I won't do it!" ”
Scarletana spoke: "No, Deran, you have to do it!" ”
Delance was on the verge of crying.
"Ancestor, this is too much of a bully!"
Scarletana said seriously: "You made the situation the way it is, so you have to be responsible for the end." ”
Delance was helpless, but still very unwilling.
"Okay, then even if I finish cleaning up the wicked people and destroying all the old forces in the east, why did he ascend to the throne?"
"I know you're going to say that he built the Floating City, but the Floating City is a force of force. If you can ascend to the throne by force alone, will someone with stronger force become a duke in the future? ”
"Besides, even if it's force, it's just mortal force, is the god afraid of this?"
"Even if it is passed on to Carrie, why should you give the title to a person with a foreign surname?"
Scarletana smiled faintly, "Don't struggle, Deran, Davolence has agreed." ”
Delance's heart was shocked: "Why?!" ”
"Because he broke through the master's cliff at the age of 17, and because he discovered the basic logical law of mana, and according to this law, he created this floating city in the new era."
"And this is just the beginning, in the future, we will build a real transcendent floating city to fight against the legendary dragon!"
"I'll just ask you, do you know any of these?"
"No, you won't, you'll only spend money!"
Damnesis was dumbfounded when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Rosen: "You are already an archmage?" ”
Rosen smiled slightly: "I'm lucky to be promoted." ”
Delance's mood was suddenly very complicated, and he subconsciously looked at his daughter Heya Jiali, his face was full of disappointment: "Jiali, I invested at least six million kroner in you, why haven't you been promoted?" ”
If her daughter could be promoted to a master earlier, she would be able to gather a huge reputation in the mage world, and the debt crisis might not have erupted.
Heya Jiali looked embarrassed: "Father, there are many people who have not been promoted, and I am not the only one!" ”
Delance was startled, and then became furious: "You dare to speak to me like this now?!" ”
His impression of his daughter is very well-behaved, he does whatever he says, and never talks back to him, but now she has completely changed.
Heya Jiali hid behind Rosen: "Father, I am now a man with a husband. What kind of ability is yelling at me, you have the ability to yell at my husband? ”
Delance glanced at Lawson and wanted to roar, but he didn't have the confidence.
Rosen immediately reassured: "Father-in-law, hurry up and get started, when you're done, I still have to integrate the resources of the Eastern Realm and study the Transcendent Floating City." ”
"After all, time is running out until the Transcendental Chaos."
Delance shook again: "Transcendent chaos. Ancestor, really? ”
"Really, so you have to be capable."
Delances sighed and was convinced.
"Alright, I'll be the wicked man."
The Duchess, who had been silent, spoke, "Delan, I'll do it with you." ”
Descis's mind was relieved, "Thank you, Jira. ”
Although he lost his title, he at least had a lady who loved him.
The Duchess sighed: "I'm mainly afraid that you'll mess things up again." ”
Desis received another blow to the heart.
