Vinika's matter is over for the time being, and all Richard needs to do is be patient, and there may or may not be a follow-up. After all these years of wars and politics, he deeply understood the saying that most of the time coincidences mean conspiracy.

It's really infuriating that the magic soul is stolen, but there is no way to extract it now, if Nayu is there...... Richard shook his head vigorously and closed his eyes, allowing the shadow of quicksand to slowly disappear into the void. Richard forced himself to draw his attention back, and the whole incident was full of conspiracy and feeling, even if it was a coincidence, it was some kind of deliberate or artificial result. Perhaps only Vinika, who is in love, will think that Yiqiē is just an accident.

The couple who quietly entered the core area, the magic alarm that was blocked, the swordsman who came out under his insight was indeed only level twelve. Richard counted them one by one, and couldn't help but be amazed.

He didn't change the family seal authority that Gordon had set in the castle at the beginning, so Vinika, who is a direct descendant of Gordon and whose talent belongs to the first sequence, has the same bloodline authority as himself. However, who noticed this detail and took advantage of it.

Richard was sure that the magic soul was an accident, because even he couldn't have foreseen it, so what would be the original purpose of the other party. Thinking of Aceris who had been gone for a long time, there always seemed to be a pair of malicious eyes watching Akmund in the lingering haze.

Richard's train of thought turned back to Lucien, and apart from the untimely murderous intent at the beginning, the young poet's expression was not in the slightest mistake, showing full innocence, awe, and affection. It's just that a series of small movements of his body behind his back can't hide from Richard at all.

For a moment Richard just wanted to sneer, his intellectual talent clearly remembered the family banquet he attended when he first arrived in Faust. At that time, Vinica was Gordon's only adult daughter, with the right to choose her own partner, and like every young Akmund, she was ambitious and hungry for power, and now she would bet on her mother for a young poet of her rank. However, this is Vinika's own choice, and since she is an adult, she has to take responsibility for it.

For some reason, Richard suddenly thought of Raymond and the Grand Empress Leia, the scholar and mage of Fort Solomon is also a liar, and there is a way to tell it as if it is true, even the liar himself can deceive.

But Richard also found his own shortcomings in this incident, that is, how to manage the Akmund blood relatives. He had no experience in running a family, and he lacked people around him to remind him, so he did not realize that the internal system left by Gordon was no longer suitable for the era when he was in power. Then again, Akmund was busy expanding during the Gordon era, and it wasn't time to manage the interior.

In this respect, His Majesty Wuding Xià has set a good example, and although the empress's behavior is absurd and perverse, in fact the general direction is completely correct.

Richard did not make the biggest mistake of separating his adult siblings from their mothers after securing his position as patriarch. For in the aristocracy, this meant that they had the right to inherit from him, which was the same as that of his children.

In contrast, not changing the bloodline authority set by Gordon is simply an insignificant little leak, after all, there were only five people with this permission set at the time, Richard, Wallington, Winnington, Vinika, Daimei, Gordon's direct bloodline, and the first sequence of heirs in the eyes of everyone.

In addition, politically, Vinica is his sister rather than his daughter, so Richard is not very suitable for this kind of tough handling of the incident. But he doesn't have a similar talent under his command, only Oral is qualified. However, on the one hand, the bard now needs to break through the harsh environment of the guò plane war, and on the other hand, he is also one of the few lord-type talents under Richard who can stand alone.

It was only by this time that Richard realized how difficult it was to manage a wealthy family. War and plunder may be a fairly simple part of this, with more battles coming from outside the battlefield.

Richard rubbed his temples to end this reflection, and then began to arrange the follow-up affairs one by one, as if he had returned to the days when Deep Blue was studying and lived according to the schedule.

He first sent someone to give the post-80s Shaolin abbot Luo's funds, although he had already received reminders from many sources that it was not a good thing to rely too much on the Eternal Dragon Palace, but Richard had no choice at the moment.

At the same time, Richard also began a series of visits, in addition to Mensa, who he marked with a blood feud in his heart, even the Joseph family visited once. This visit, on the surface, did not have the slightest effect, but in fact it sent a rather important signal of Akmund's willingness to cooperate with the various families.

In the days that followed, Richard was busy reorganizing his strength and thinking about his next steps.

In addition, a responsibility that should be borne by a wealthy family is also officially placed in front of Richard, that is, the defense of the Peerless Battlefield. Since the end of the bloody battle in the City where the sun never sets, the Lords of the Holy Alliance, after a round of squabbles, have re-promulgated the guidelines for the joint defense of the Peerless Domain. The rights and obligations of the Faut families are strictly defined in the new guidelines, in which each floating island magnate is required to provide 10 standard feats per year.

An ordinary Daxodas Sanctuary is a standard combat achievement, and if it is of the level of a rat demon, it takes three to merge a single combat achievement. These feats don't seem too difficult, but according to the ratio of battle losses between the two sides in the Land of Dusk to three, a floating island giant means that it needs to bear the loss of three Sanctuary powerhouses. It's the time of the Land of Dusk, not the time of Norland.

Of course, there is not only one way to kill the enemy, but also the defense of the city, construction, supply and even transportation work have corresponding combat merits. Although these tasks are hard and trivial, they are better than safety.

In addition, the giants can also complete the task directly through the acquisition of military exploits. The current market is 100,000 gold coins for a little feat. This price has been stable for a long time. Many lone Sanctuary powerhouses will choose to resell the Daxodas they hunt to the wealthy in exchange for gold or resources. Of course, those valuable materials still belong to the powerhouses of the Holy Realm personally.

In the five years that Richard had been on the battlefield of the Peerless Realm, he had accumulated far more exploits than the limit of ten points a year. It's just that the validity period of the battle exploits is only two years, and after two years, it needs to be recalculated. This is also to prevent a strong person from entering the Land of Dusk to kill for a while, and then a certain family can get away with it for decades. So now, all the exploits that Richard saved for Akmund have expired, and they need to be accumulated again this year.

Richard counted the plane resources in his hand, and Faro, Green Forest, Rock Heights, Liujin Valley, and Hulan all had their own value. Except for Hulan's temporary inability to explore deeply, the rest of the planes have great value. After much consideration, Richard decided to put Farrow back in the first place in development.

Faro's situation has long been stable, but he can't pull out his hand to further develop it. And now that Richard has basically stabilized the situation in other planes, he can turn around and go all out to develop Faro. Faro's advantage lies in its vast plane, powerful power system, and the fact that almost every resource can be found here. The only hidden danger is that there is a doomsday mark here, and the Reaper can appear at any time.

Richard finally planned the distribution of troops in front of you, and the Rock Heights and the Flowing Gold Valley each placed thirty Constructed Knights as the main force of the guards, and also equipped them with a hundred Rank 12 Darkblade Knights as auxiliaries. This kind of force is not aggressive enough, but if it is only defensive, it is not a big problem.

The Green Forest was defended by Nereus and Agamemnon, and the guardian elves inside were almost crippled by Richard, so they probably couldn't make any waves for a short time. As for Hulan, there is still such a hidden danger as Long Xing in the plane, but if Semir is careful, with the cooperation of the troops, he can at least stabilize the situation and reduce the losses caused by Long Xing's harassment to a certain extent.

Finally, it is necessary to leave Ellijie with fifty knights in costume to stabilize the border between Dìng and the Holy Tree Dynasty. Richard told Ellie not to be busy with war all the time, but to find a way to improve her personal combat power.

Eventually, Richard decided to enter the Faro with one hundred and fifty mounted knights and all the followers he could mobilize. At the same time, Richard decided to recruit the powerhouses of the Sanctuary on a large scale, as well as the knights above the fourteenth level to prepare for the formation, and form a powerful peripheral legion as a supplement. Almost all the freedom fighters that Akmund was able to recruit were recruited by Richard, and now if he wanted to expand his army, the war potential was somewhat insufficient.

Just as Richard began to deploy troops and prepare to set off a wave of war in Faro, the royal family of the Holy Alliance seemed to be in a state of flux.

The day after Philip's funeral, Empress Wuding completed her enthronement ceremony. This enthronement ceremony is even simpler, it is just to gather representatives of various wealthy families to have lunch together. And the lunch is very simple, there are only two main dishes, and the wine is very ordinary, at most it is the level of the baron's family banquet. It has not been in decades before has the royal family held such a shabby lunch. But it was such a lunch, and the turbidity current, who had just taken up the position of chief manager, still had to charge a "meal fee" as a congratulatory gift for the enthronement of His Majesty.

The meal fee is just a formality, and everyone understands the purpose of the congratulatory gift, so they have expressed it. Richard looked at the attitude of the wealthy families before and after, and took a 300,000 gold coin in the middle as a congratulatory gift.

The lunch time was short, and the new Empress Wuding Xià only showed up for fifteen minutes before leaving the table. As soon as the empress left, the other wealthy heads naturally had no interest in staying, and left the table one after another. In this way, the entire enthronement ceremony ended, and the total before and after did not exceed half an hour, which was about the same time as Philip's funeral.
