069 The Emperor of Monrovia was generous
Elizabeth woke up the next day.
She rubbed her eyes as she sat up, then stared at her as if she didn't recognize Marika for a few seconds before her brain finally worked.
"Good morning – or good evening? Why are they all magic light sources? Elizabeth stretched and yawned.
Marika: "Good morning. We are now in the secret room of the Emperor's study in Monrovia. ”
Elizabeth muttered, "The Emperor's study room? When did this happen? Wait a minute, what about the war? What happened to the orcs? What about the necromancers? ”
Marika: "It's over, and along with the old days in Monrovia. ”
Elizabeth was full of question marks: "I expected the orc war to be over, so I thought before I fell asleep, if I woke up, the problem of the orcs would be solved by the king." What's going on in the old days of Monrovia? Is the king going to be emperor of the empire? ”
Marika: "No. It's just that the Emperor of Monrovia borrowed the tiger skin of the king - and the mage tower behind him this time, and confirmed the treason of the dukes, and washed their titles all. ”
Elizabeth's eyes widened: "All washed?" ”
"Yes, it's all washed." Marika nodded.
Elizabeth, who is also a child of the Duke's family, stammered: "Then this Monrovia is about to have a civil war, and other nobles will not watch the emperor take away their power like this." ”
Marika: "I think it will be in the future, but the Emperor has the support of all the big merchants and shadow thieves, and some nobles have joined the Emperor's side." For example, we had a previous relationship with Bradford Frontier. ”
Elizabeth was speechless: "What about his role?" I thought I'd never hear his name again. ”
"He married his daughter to a big merchant as a bridge between the nobles and the merchants of their faction who wanted to innovate, and it seems that he has been planning for a long time."
Elizabeth nodded: "Sure enough, the local powerful nobles are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”
"No, the dukes of the empire seem to be a little too fuel-efficient, and all in all, Monrovia looks like they can take this opportunity to get rid of the evils of the founding of the country until now. I don't know the details, after all, I've been watching you here, and all I just said was what they told me when they came back. ”
Elizabeth: "Did they come back after the fight?" ”
"Well, it's still here to spend the night, after all, there was quite chaos in the city last night, the team that hunted down the raiders and the standing soldiers of the dukes - oh, now it's time to call the private soldiers, and fight back and forth with the private soldiers. It's absolutely safe to spend the night here, as long as the door doesn't open inside, you can't get in from the outside. ”
Elizabeth nodded: "And where are they going now?" ”
"You can see the orcs outside the city from the city walls. Are you going to join everyone? ”
"Yes, I'm going to converge." Elizabeth stood up, only to realize that she was wearing pajamas.
Marika: "I'll change it for you." If you want to change your clothes, I've got it here. ”
As she spoke, Marika took out her dimensional bag.
Elizabeth asked suspiciously, "Why do you also have a dimensional bag?" ”
"When I killed the spy sent by the emperor before, I captured one." Marika replied, "That way I can use this dimensional bag for some of the essentials we both need when we travel, like your change of clothes, and spare whalebone bra braces and corsets." ”
Elizabeth stared at the dimensional bag: "Does the king know that you have this dimensional bag?" ”
"I didn't tell him, but he should understand, after all, his dimensional bag is powerful, but if we want to use it, we can only hold it and can't take it out, which is still quite inconvenient."
As she spoke, Marika took out a new dress from her dimensional pouch.
Marika: "How's it going?" This one is perfect for celebrating victory, and it's definitely fitting to wear it today. ”
Elizabeth nodded, then touched her stomach with both hands: "I'm going to suffer my waist again." ”
"You don't have to worry so much," said Marika, "your waist is very slender without strangulation." ”
Elizabeth thought of Nini's waist for a moment, and then Rosalie's waist - well, this is not a threat, but Nini's thin waist!
I can't forget that there is also a super-sized ultra-thin waist Xiaobai!
Elizabeth said resolutely: "You strangled me!" Pull it until you get into the smallest size! ”
Marika: "I don't want you to faint from suffocation. ”
"The upper part doesn't need to be so thin, but the belly must be thin!"
Marika stopped talking, but finally decided to follow the princess's wishes.
**
Time turned quickly, and by the time Elizabeth had climbed the wall, the sun had almost risen to the highest point of the day.
As soon as she got up to the city wall, she exclaimed: "How come! ”
Outside the city walls, in the fields of Monrovia, smoke billowed from it.
"The orcs are no longer suppressed by the overlord, and they immediately began to plunder." The king's voice came from afar, "You have finally woken up, our Sleeping Beauty Princess." Flint just urged me to learn from the fairy tale and wake you up with a kiss. ”
Elizabeth looked in surprise in the direction where the voice came from: "Then did you kiss?" ”
Next to her, Marika muttered, "How could he kiss." ”
Wang's voice floated from afar: "I don't think the intimate contact of the oral mucosa will do you any good to wake up, and you are just overdrawn, as long as you sleep enough, you will naturally wake up." ”
Marika: "Look. ”
Elizabeth smiled and walked briskly towards the king, asking as she went, "What is the oral mucosa?" Uh......"
Her steps slowed suddenly.
Because she finally noticed that next to Wang, Nini's maid outfit - it was still a miniskirt version of the maid outfit.
Although this dress is more than Nini's original elf wearing forest clothes, the covering area of the bottom has increased, but I don't know why it brings out Nini's beautiful legs more.
Elizabeth subconsciously checked her outfit before asking, "Why did Nini get a new dress?" ”
Wang: "It's a nice dress, isn't it?" Flint's wife made it from a lich's robe, which can withstand blunt damage, and I thought you had a protective bracer, so I put it on Nini. ”
Flint snorted and said, "She got it wrong and thought Nini was Elizabeth, so she made it like this based on her figure." As a result, only Nini can wear it now. ”
Elizabeth looked at Nini's maid's waist, touched herself again, and then asked unrelentingly, "Nini, ...... You wore a corset, right? ”
Nini: "No. The corset affects movement, and I don't think it's just me, Ms. Drow either. ”
Xiaobai lifted the short coat of his jacket with both hands, revealing his waist: "I don't wear it either!" ”
Elizabeth almost didn't stand still.
Marika hurriedly held her up, and then whispered, "Didn't you notice just now?" Originally, the dress was meant to be worn by you, but the dwarven tailor made a mistake. ”
Elizabeth: "Oh...... It seems to be. ”
She regained her footing and cleared her throat: "So, the orc's trouble is solved?" ”
"I'm not sure if it's a solution now." The king looked out of the city, "The orcs did not leave, although they did not build the siege engines, the unified command was finished, and the battle began immediately for the battle for the target of the raid. But you see, with so many orcs on the plains, it's definitely a problem. ”
Nini: "The good news is that the ballista position is no longer guarded by orcs, because all the orcs on the position have gone to raid, and the star chaser can set off now." ”
Wang nodded: "Yes, yes, this is what the elves observed with their own eyes. In fact, there was already a cargo ship to deliver futures this morning, and the orcs probably thought that the cargo ship could also be plundered, but after chasing the wolf for a while, they found that the ship was still running fast, so they gave up. ”
The wind is now in a direction suitable for the south, and the sails of the ship are running fast as soon as the sails are pulled.
Elizabeth was speechless: "That's right." ”
Her eyes were still glancing at Nini. The elves are originally good-looking, but the clothes on their bodies are very unpretentious, and the forest elves wear forest clothes except for the thighs that are much exposed, and there is basically nothing that can highlight the beauty.
But this maid costume is different, it is basically born to highlight the good figure of the elf.
The king noticed that Elizabeth had been looking at Nini and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Elizabeth: "What do you think of Nini now?" Only...... Do you want to her? ”
Wang: "I don't want to. It's amazing, I know she's more attractive after changing into a maid outfit, but I still don't have that desire. At the end of the battle yesterday, I landed with my face hitting her breast, but I didn't have that kind of thought. ”
Elizabeth was about to speak, when the mage excitedly announced, "So I think Nini has a good chance of becoming my love interest!" But I don't want to do business with her yet. ”
Elizabeth staggered, and it was Marika who held her up so that she wouldn't sit on the ground.
At this time, Xiaobai protested loudly: "I am against it!" Isn't that right? You don't want to grass how can she fall in love? ”
Wang looked at Xiaobai seriously: "Because my teacher said that love is a noble existence, which is free from low-level interests, and love can make both people better!" ”
Xiaobai: "Don't say such things I don't understand!" I don't know what makes the two of them better, love is to have children! You don't want to go to school, how can you have children? Do you rely on an eagle to get one? ”
The king put on a posture: "Don't tarnish my sacred imagination of love!" ”
"You are, don't complicate things inexplicably!" Saying that, Xiaobai also made a loud sound and entered the battle state.
At this time, Nini said: "Half-elf's words are not good for the child's future?" Both humans and elves will be discriminated against. ”
Flint: "You're right, it took a lot of effort for my old friend to be recognized and accepted. But if you have a child, take him directly into the Mage Tower, he will receive the best magical education from an early age, which is really enviable. ”
At this time, Wang also ended the argument with Xiaobai and joined the conversation: "First of all, there should be no precedent for giving birth to our Mage Tower, after all, everyone is so busy, where is it important to have children and explore the world."
"Secondly, because there is no precedent for childbearing, we have not been ...... since childhood."
Wang touched his chin: "Wait a minute, it seems that there is, that's me." I've been in the Mage Tower since I was a child, so could that child be like me? Isn't that a terrible thing? ”
Marika: "You know that yourself, huh?" ”
Wang: "Of course I do. There is no one in the Mage Tower who is stuck in the Eight Years and Three Rings like me. The third ring is a hurdle, and those who can come up are generally very fast to the sixth ring. It is very common for other brothers to spend eight years and ten years in the second ring. ”
Elizabeth interrupted the king: "Now the children don't matter, we have no reason to stay in Monrovia, do we?" When to set sail? ”
Wang: "You can set sail at any time." But you see, we just helped Monrovia solve such a big problem, so it's not appropriate to get some equipment, right? The Order we have to deal with is very strong, without the support of strong equipment, with our current highest four rings of spell casting ability, no play! ”
The rest of the Salvation Team looked at him with a "worthy of you" expression.
At that moment, from the side of the stairs where Elizabeth had just come up, a tired but excited voice came: "Of course you will be rewarded. It's not just a thank you for your contribution to this battle, but Monrovia is also willing to do our part to save the world. ”
Everyone followed the prestige, and just in time to see Emperor Bernal with a group of princes and princesses, as well as his old and new henchmen, the old and new Clover Knight Duke Connaught, and the new smuggler King Rhett, who was now Duke Brad.
And, of course, the Earl of Bradford, who now also wears the ribbon and medal representing the Duke's title, and by his side is the Earl Williams.
Although Williams, who contributed a lot, was only an earl, his wife was the duke's daughter.
And in the future Monrovia, the title will definitely not be as useful as before. The Emperor was already considering the establishment of a three-tier council of nobles, temple powers, and merchant burghers, which would have the Paladins of Typhon and the students of the Archmage of Mel's Nine Rings to oversee its operation.
Elizabeth looked at Bradford: "To be honest, I want to apologize for my previous rudeness. I didn't expect you to be such a far-sighted nobleman. ”
"What a foresight," the former Frontier smirked, "I just seized the opportunity at the right time." ”
Emperor Bernal cleared his throat and regained control of the conversation once more.
Bernal: "We're planning a big victory celebration tomorrow. ”
Elizabeth pointed to the burning earth outside: "Are you sure?" The orcs even lit the crops on the plains, and at this time ......"
Wang: "It's time for a big celebration to distract the residents. ”
Marika: "Whenever this happens, the king seems to be very knowledgeable about the world. ”
Wang: "It's just the art of war and media studies. Countless powers in history have summed up the right response at this time, and I just endorse it better. ”
Bernal laughed, "I find that I understand more and more Bruce Landon who wants to keep you as Prime Minister." But you probably don't care about a prime minister's position. ”
Wang: "Indeed. ”
Bernal: "What I'm going to give you at tomorrow's ceremony has been decided. You can go to our treasure trove today and find out if there's anything you like. In addition, after killing so many dukes, a total of three resurrection scrolls have been collected, and I can give them all to you. ”
Wang: "Only three?" ”
Bernal: "Three perfect resurrections. As for the imperfect resurrection, your pastor should have had it when he ascended to the next ring, shouldn't he? ”
The priest has a magic called "Resurrection of the Dead", and looking at the name, people will think that this is a magic technique to create the living dead such as zombies, but in fact, the effect is similar.
People who are resurrected with this spell, if the corpse is decomposed or something, the decay will remain, and the skin color is also the skin color of the dead, and it looks like a zombie.
Those who are pulled up by this spell must first use the restoration technique to repair the rotten position, then replenish the vitality, and finally recuperate for a month or two before returning to a radiant living person.
When Flint heard the Emperor's words, he immediately complained: "Don't be like this, Kailin's iron rooster, I don't know when I will be able to give me the five rings." ”
Wang: "You can try to throw yourself out of your armor again." ”
"Never mention this again, never!"
Bernal: "Anyway, go to the treasure trove and pick up equipment." Rosalie, you lead the way. ”
With the hem of her skirt in both hands, Rosalie saluted her father, then turned to smile at Wang.
**
The treasury of Monrovia looks bigger than Random City.
And this treasure trove doesn't have gold coins that look very eye-catching, but it's not that important.
Wang: "Where's the gold?" ”
Rosalie: "All at the Royal Mint, of course. Rest assured, when you leave tomorrow, the major chambers of commerce will definitely provide a lot of futures coupons and bills of exchange. These can be used as money throughout the Masunya River Basin.
"Gold coins are not necessary, because when you go to a new place, you have to exchange them for gold coins. Monrovia gold coins are not in circulation, and ordinary people will think that Monrovia gold coins are fake, and even if they think they are real, they don't know how much gold they can hold. ”
Wang: "I've read in books that it's called the early sprouts of the financial industry!" So who can handle these things? I'm not familiar with it! ”
"Me!" Elizabeth and Rosalie said together.
Then the two looked at each other, and a crackling electric light burst out between their eyes.
The king didn't care at all: "Then you come together!" Anyway, one of your professions is to shoot scorching rays, the other is to wash clothes, and the two accountants can ensure that they can rotate. ”
The king continued to wander around the treasury when he suddenly noticed a row of dimensional bags on a shelf.
"Hey!" He beckoned to everyone, "Do you think of this dimensional bag?" My dimensional bag is given to you, you can only hold it but not take it, Marika's dimensional bag made me realize that each of you must also have your own dimensional bag! ”
Flint immediately nodded: "Yes!" That way, I don't have to ask the mage brother for a pipe and tobacco every time I want to smoke. ”
Rosalie: "One for each person, then?" ”
Wang: "No, there may be people joining the team in the future, and I want to make this our team benefit." Gordrik, take it all! ”
Because the dimensional bag cannot be set with the dimensional bag, these dimensional bags still need to be held by one person.
Gao Trick took out a pocket he got out of nowhere, and put all the dimensional bags in his pocket at once.
Rosalie was dumbfounded: "Are you here to rob?" ”
Wang: "What are we doing?" It's savior! You Monrovia don't give generously for the salvation of the world, you have a problem! ”
Rosalie shut her mouth.
The king found something good again: "Wait a minute! There's a piece of leather armor for a strong man! Gao Trick, you don't want to run naked without armor anymore, try this! ”
Barbarians can wear armor, but they don't like to wear it, and the real macho men are all on a crotch cloth.
Therefore, Gao Trick is also the most injured in the whole team, and he is a big consumer of healing spells on the team.
In the face of the king's order, although the barbarian looked unhappy, he still came over and put on the leather armor.
Wang Daxi: "Very good, great! This leather armor, if it is according to the quantitative analysis standard of our mage tower, is at least +2. ”
Gao Trick looked at the leather armor on his body and shouted, "Hot!" ”
Wang: "It's better than you consume so much healing." Wear it. Let's see what else we have—"
Rosalie: "There's a very good piece of magical armor. ”
"Where?" Wang asked excitedly.
Without saying a word, Rosalie led him into the innermost part.
The king frowned when he saw the armor: "Full body armor? No one in our squad can wear it! Gortrek, you try this? ”
After speaking, he glanced at the barbarian's physique, and denied the idea himself: "Forget it, you can't wear it." ”
Rosalie: "This is the armor of the Founding Emperor Melward, and it is said that it successfully resisted the attacks of the various monsters entrenched in Minos. ”
Wang: "Okay, I know it's strong. Let's take it first. ”
"No one can wear it, and you can take it too?" Rosalie exclaimed.
Wang: "In the future we may have a paladin, he can wear it." ”
Rosalie: "You want to add a paladin to your squad configuration?" ”
Wang: "What's this, it's a little harder." ”
Rosalie held her forehead.
The king looked at her with blank eyes. Suddenly, as if he had noticed something good, he circled around Rosalie.
Wang: "I can take it for you to wear!" ”
"Me?" Rosalie exclaimed again, "What am I wearing it for?" ”
Wang: "Attract firepower." Since this armor is so powerful, it will definitely help you survive. And, you see, this armor is from Melward, and you're a Melward too, reasonable! Gautrek, take the armor! Help me put it in the dimensional bag! ”
Gortrek: "Good! ”
