240. Long
In the imperial capital, the tallest building is the Tower of Purity, almost a kilometer; The second tallest building is the Gyeonggi Tower, which is more than 700 meters high, and it is the gathering place of the traditional legendary families and the Magister family in the imperial capital.
The 50th floor of the Gyeonggi Tower is the exclusive room of the Imperial Prime Minister Demigod Mitroa Shendu, a demigod of the same age as the Empire, who discovered the mystery of ascending to the gods long before the Emperor, and is now only a line away from the gods.
Today, his room was very lively, and several of the most important legends and demigods outside the Imperial Capital Pure Tower were in this room, including Colomville Gyeonggi, the patron god of the Imperial Capital, Louis Shendu, the president of the Imperial Capital Academy, William Hill Gyeonggi, Grand Master of the Imperial Capital Knights, and Hanfei Apopbi, the Chief Civil Servant of the Empire.
Before the Legendary Path was explored by the Tower of Purity, the Empire would establish relatively uniform surnames for the demigods, for example, the Shendu surname meant that the demigod became a demigod in the sequence of Imperial Bureaucrats, and the Gyeonggi surname referred to the nature of the Imperial Capital's territory, but after the discovery of the Legendary Path, these surname rules were abolished.
Compared to the previous demigods with the surnames of Imperial Capital and Gyeonggi, the legendary lawmaker Han Fei is only a junior, but no demigod can ignore his ability to interpret the legal documents of the Empire.
"Demigods, allow me to pay my respects to you," Han Fei took the lead in saluting, "Your Majesty has decided to convene a special debate meeting of the Council as soon as possible to discuss the ownership and border issues of Night Qicheng, Lord Prime Minister, do you really support the border blockade of the two kingdoms against the Marquis of Fiat Gallope?" ”
The legendary lawmaker never talks nonsense when facing the Imperial Prime Minister or his own family.
"Of course, they have the right to manage their own borders, Chief Han Fei, our empire has to act according to the law, even Your Majesty and I can't force the two kingdoms," Mitroa said with a smile, "What's more, that Fiat hasn't done anything over the years, either suppressing the galloping horse branch of the Dragon Kingdom, or deducting coastal defense funds and galloping horse funds, and even quietly marrying the sea monster, he thought that His Majesty and His Majesty were talking about the edict to the church 300 years ago?" ”
"However, Prime Minister, if you refuse to return to the plains from the main branch of the Galloping Horse Family, then you have to give up the position of a middle-level knight in the Night Qi City, isn't this not conducive to the defense on the plain?" Colomwell Gyeonggi said with some apprehension.
"You've all seen the recent battle report, he's just a low rank, but at least he's a reliable nobleman, that Fiat is a golden knight, has he done anything reliable? It was promoted to a high level by relying on the subsidy and bloodline of the Tower of Purity, and then what? Live every day. Mitroa had a very bad impression of Fiat Galloping Horse, "Besides, there is nothing wrong with not letting Fiat enter the plain, tens of thousands of people from large and small clans of the entire Galloping Horse family have gone to the entire plain, and the position in Night Qicheng is not enough for them to divide up." ”
"I've heard that in the morning, the cardinals of the Temple Alliance almost fought over the division of the various temples in Night Qi City," Luis, the principal of the Imperial Capital Academy, said suddenly, and the room suddenly became a lot more relaxed.
"Those guys who have just been pure for a few hundred years, will they plan to restore the witchcraft there?"
"It's hard to say, I remember that the Plains of the Galloping Horse were not within the scope of the Reformation," Louiston paused, "and then the cardinals will have to go to the City of Night Kirk!" ”
Telling jokes about another organization within one organization is always the most agreeable thing, especially if two organizations have been working together and opposing each other for thousands of years.
"Okay, we're nobles, we can't be as greedy as those priests," Mitroa suddenly turned the subject back to Night Qicheng, "Fiat Galloping Horse is a talented fellow, all he thinks about every day is to rely on his so-called bloodline inheritance to plunder the Empire's subsidies and other family wealth, such a person in charge of Night Qicheng will only be a disaster for the entire empire." ”
"However, that Rand Galloping Horse Knight, the current level is indeed too low to inherit the position of Archon of Night Qi City," Han Fei added, "But I heard that he has a magic goblin at home, and it is estimated that it will not be too difficult to break through the high-level knight, and we can control the start time of the council after he is promoted to a high level, so that he can rightfully inherit Night Qi City." ”
"If you really want him to be in charge of Night Qicheng, I'm afraid you'll have to help him a little more and find him some high-grade potions" Colomwell lowered his head and thought, "But why would you want a high-level knight to be in charge of Night Qicheng?" Even if he has military exploits, the empire can come forward and find him a border the size of an earldom in the southeast."
"Of course, Cromwell, but in that case, the Empire would have to find a high-rank, even legendary, consul for Night Kirk, so how could such an archon come from?"
"I'm afraid it's still the Tower of Innocence? Or on the Red Dragon Rock, right? ”
"That's right, there are dozens of legends in the Tower of Purity, hundreds of them in the Red Dragon Rock, they have carved up the Galloping Horse Kingdom, what else do we have to do?" The Prime Minister smiled and said, "But if we want to get involved, it's not cost-free, we have to think about how to support them against the orcs." ”
"It's simple, Captain William Hill, you will declare a city defense maintenance fee to the city hall tomorrow, and replace the giant crossbow on the existing imperial capital city wall" Cromwell was quick and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
"Replacement of the Greatbow? Didn't our giant crossbow just be replaced in 20 years? William Hill didn't understand, "According to the current lifespan, it can be used for decades!" ”
"Just because it's new, you can only support the western frontier if you replace it," Cromwell smiled.
"Ah, by the way," William Hill was no less thoughtful than Cromwell once he had been taught, "I remember that there was still a batch of scrapped armaments in the four warehouses outside the city, Louis, you should go find some apprentices to draw some magic patterns as practice." ”
The old armor in your warehouse, the unscrupulous students under his command, the wandering knights of this house, the idle mages of that family, when the legends start to gather together, you can always find a lot of armaments by scraping the corners, and now it's up to the person in charge of the accounting.
"Demigods, I think our imperial capital is ready to support the front line of the Galloping Horse Plain, but the current Night Qicheng may not have enough repayment ability in a short period of time" Han Fei stood up at the right time, "If it is only armament, I think the interest part of the Galloping Horse Fund is enough to pay off." ”
"But what if, the Night Qi City is surrounded by beasts, and it needs the army and legends of the imperial capital?" William Hill asked.
"Fortunately, more than 300 years ago, there was a contract between the Galloping Horse and the Imperial Treasury Department, the Empire was to provide the Galloping Horse with a large amount of defense materials and services, and the Galloping Horse could mortgage their mineral mining rights. But I think it's okay if they use some territory and the right to appoint and remove them as collateral......"
Red Dragon Rock, Tower of Purity, Holy City of the Temple Alliance, Tower of Gyeonggi, Kirislav, Southeast Kingdom, Southern Kingdom, Eastern Island, every place with legends is carefully calculating, how many high-level and how many legends can be accommodated in Night Qi City and the Galloping Horse Plain, how can they let their own heirs go to Night Qi City, and how can they not let other families monopolize it.
Rand could not have imagined that a day chosen by Tanya at random would cause huge waves throughout the empire and cause long reverberations.
