Empire of Mankind, penultimate day of 998, Imperial Capital, Great Council.

In a flash, Rand woke up in the palace of Padmila, and it had been several months, although it was abrupt, but when the train started, Willy and the other gods had already noticed that he had left Alivia with Hellyd's grudge.

Without the source of magic to take the initiative to do things, the magic tide can become smooth and predictable, and it can be said that Rand sacrificed himself to protect Alivia.

In the form of an oracle, Willy notified Wendy and Crane in time, which not only made Rand's sleep have an explanation to the outside world, but also enabled Cardinal, Arvinny, Huck and others to smoothly take over the affairs of the Galloping Horse Kingdom.

"Zhuqing, all the people of the empire, in the past 998 years, the entire empire has worked together to not only survive the rare magic tide in human history, but also explore many ancient ruins to help the elven civilization avoid the beast disaster......"

The emperor read the year-end speech on the high platform, and the nobles and legends on both sides all looked happy, rejoicing that they had survived the magic tide in the past year.

Rand...... After Your Majesty finishes speaking, do we want to shout long live? ”

Beside Rand, Daddy Huck Galloping asked in a whisper.

"No, you just follow the other nobles." Rand said with a smile.

On this day last year, he listened to the Emperor's speech in the Great Council with King Dusen White Owl, and two months ago, he had been crowned King of the Horse and King of the Khan, so today, he brought with him Haq, who had been awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and Ryan Gallop, who was the Duke of the Khanate.

"We'll have to go to the Tower of Purity in a moment, right?" Huck glanced across the seat and whispered, "Do you think Arvinni and Grua can find a place?" Shall we join them and then go over? ”

"Dad," Rand whispered, holding back a laugh, "Arvinny grew up in the Tower of Purity, and she knows the route, and even if she can't do it, she can take Grea with her." ”

"That's right," Huck nodded.

Thanks to the blessing of the surging magic power in the early stage of the demon tide, Yawenni and Gureya absorbed most of their respective demigod inheritances (Yawenni is from the legend of the Golden Begonia clan, and Gurea is from the remains of the demigod goblin Mogruk,), and continued to improve in the second half of the battle, and now they have touched the threshold of the legend, just waiting for the New Year to pass, and the Tower of Purity and the Red Dragon Rock will preside over the legendary promotion ceremony respectively.

Although they are still quasi-legends, the two have been elected to the Imperial Council of Legends, and today they can sit in the legendary area opposite the nobles.

"After an agreement with the Elven Clans, the Empire decided to build 5 cities in the Central Forest, establish a Dominion, and form the Knights of the Woodlands......"

When the Emperor said this, Rand could see that on the opposite seat, Arvinny almost jumped up with excitement.

When the tide of magic surged, the elven knights of Avenni and the expedition led by Huck were broken up into several teams to support different battlefields, and even during the half year that Rand was unconscious, they fought against the ebb and flow of the magic tide.

And after Rand's return, more and more magic furnaces not only stabilized the magic tide, but also allowed his subordinates to get closer to the water and get more opportunities to contact magic.

Today, Arvinne has an Elven Knighthood and a Woodland Knights, and Huck and Ryan have an Adventure Regiment and a Southern Knights respectively, all of which have reached a full strength of 200 people, and the main force of them are mid-level and above professionals.

In addition to their strength, their exploits are also extremely dazzling, and Huck has found 4 new ruins under Rand's guidance.

The two Knights of Avenni protected more than a dozen clans and relocated them to the vicinity of the newly discovered ruins.

These new elven cities have become the Empire's foothold in the Central Forest, and Avinni is the guardian of these clans.

Not only did more than a dozen clans provide Halkala with nearly 50 guardian trees with varying disabilities, but the constant attrition of the war also provided a large number of followers to this forest walker who healed the trees.

Throughout 998, Halkala healed and rehabilitated 70 guardian trees, more than 30 of which remained to join the various knighthoods under Rand's command.

And with the active participation of this mushroom soup sage, the mushroom farming industry in Rand is also shining, including Iowa, White Wolf City, salt mines, hot spring mountains, and even Xingtian City, Roseburg and Inumori City in Hinduker have built mushroom cultivation tunnels, and the production of magic mushrooms has been able to alleviate the shortage caused by the supply of devilfish in the southeast.

Rand was recalling when the emperor's speech sounded on the stage again: "Lords, in the past year, the empire has faced the disaster of the demon tide, the confrontation between land and sea, and internal pressure, but with the unity and cooperation of the nobles of the Great Council, mankind has once again overcome difficulties and strides towards the new millennium......

"Rand," Huck whispered suddenly, "Your Majesty just glanced at you, and it's all your credit!" ”

"It's not all mine, the whole empire has credit, and I'm more of a resource that goes where it should be," Rand said with a smile.

In just a few months of awakening, Rand has installed dozens of magic furnaces, which are not only tools for balancing the magic net, nor are they just the basis for issuing gold coins, but also the source of magic for magic workshops and magic plant cultivation.

In different regions, there is a relationship between specialty, raw materials and waste materials, such as the Kirislav magic wheat straw, which is transported to the Galloping Horse Plain for processing, and becomes a medium for the cultivation of magic fungus. The waste of demon fungi can be sent to be used as feed, and the produced demon rats and demon fish are sent to various parts of the empire, which not only quickly replace the gap of the southeast demon fish, but can even cultivate more high-level.

"Zhuqing, now that the demon tide has not completely ended, the challenge facing the empire is by no means only a battle of the demon tide, the uneven development, the excessive gathering of magic power to the high level, and the peeping from the ocean are all things that the entire human race must face squarely, I hope that Zhuqing will seize the opportunity in the crisis and enter a new and more glorious millennium with the empire!"

The emperor's speech received more applause than last year, if last year's restoration of order in the Galloping Horse Plain, the emergence of a new magic furnace in the empire and the royal family and the imperial capital are not very related, then this year, different regions in the empire have gradually established supporting industrial chains, organized joint knights, and even the sudden arrival of the magic tide, the effect is far better than those outrageous contracts of the Ministry of Finance.

After the speech, Rand took Huck and Ryan to the Tower of Purity to meet the Emperor as usual, and the Emperor's speech was still very brief, but after leaving, Rand heard a completely different feedback from last year.

"Rand, has His Majesty the Emperor given you an oracle?" As soon as he left the Tower of Innocence, Huck whispered, "He seemed to have asked me to hurry up and continue the strings, saying that you and Ryan are so old that they don't have any children, so let me work harder." ”

"Your Majesty has given me an oracle too," Ryan was still quite excited when he recalled, "Let me have the opportunity to attend more dinners in the Imperial Capital and communicate more with the young people of the Imperial Capital!" ”

"Your Majesty has a whole automatic answering machine?" Rand thought to himself, "Could it be that he has a painless oracle for every nobleman, probably the kind when he goes to see his elders in the New Year: study hard, get married early, have a baby early, eat more, etc." ”

"Your Majesty, His oracle is so down-to-earth!" Although he was complaining in his heart, Rand's mouth still responded.

Of course, the Emperor also issued a special oracle to Rand: "What about my leek dumplings?" You can't just give to the dead, can you? ”
