Time went on, and the situation in Asturias changed dramatically.

The growing strife has succeeded in uniting the nobles of Asturias into a single front, even if this front is not yet strong, but the royal family has at least succeeded in attacking the power and influence of the Church of Light in its own country, and actually taking the Church's property and land for itself as an attraction point, so that the nobles of their own country in the battle on the different planes have temporarily united.

The Church did not completely turn Asturias around, but endured it, and in the struggle between the royal family and the Church for nearly a hundred years, it has gained the upper hand again and again.

It can be seen that Edward has been prepared for this matter for a long time, such as investigating the dirty behavior of the priest of the town church, which is certainly not a recent matter, and may have been secretly investigated a long time ago, just to wait for the future to be used.

Moreover, he turned harm into advantage, taking advantage of the loss in the holy war as an opportunity to make the large and small nobles of Asturias unite in a rare way.

Then he was bold enough to lift up the filth of the church and punish it in the name of justice.

After exposing the filth beneath the Church, even the devout believers will be in shock, and will be dissatisfied and confused by the Cathedral of Ralawan and even the Basilica of the Holy Cross.

At this time, the Church of Light was presiding over the plane holy war, and although he was angry about the knife stabbed in the back by Edward, he was helpless for the time being.

In this turmoil, the Ralawan Cathedral has been silent except for a messenger who was rejected by the royal family.

But no matter what the kingdom did to the church, even later, the nobles became more and more emboldened, and they successively charged several churches in their own cities, arrested the priests who were obviously traitors, tried them for crimes under the laws of the kingdom, and expelled the priests and bishops who did not commit crimes.

There was a joke about this period, which was that during that extraordinary period, the church of Ralawan was crowded with bright clergy, and when they walked in it, they would casually meet a bishop, while the others were priests as many as dogs, and priests crawled all over the floor.

But the royal family has never been able to do anything to the Church of Jolawan because there is no chance.

Cardinal Cameron probably guessed that Edward was hoping for him to strike back recklessly, and then wait for him with a bigger trap to deal an even heavier blow to the Church while the Holy Cross was temporarily unable to support.

So the church of Ralawan did not react violently except to take in the expelled clergy from other churches.

And Edward has no way to find the filth of the people in the church like he does with other churches, make it public, and then crack down.

In the end, the Church of Rawang is the regional center of the Church of Light in Asturias, and Cardinal Cameron himself is also a legendary powerhouse, but the cardinal's position is limited, so he has no chance to sit on it, but his own strength is something that the cardinal is quite afraid of.

In the past few years, the royal family has only been able to collect evidence of the crimes in those small churches, and it has not been able to penetrate Cameron's sight at all.

In fact, if it weren't for the Church's success in suppressing the Asturian royal family many times in the past hundred years, it would inevitably be a little complacent, and the contradictions with the Titanian royal family were also very deep and distracting, and Edward's plan might have aroused their alarm.

Therefore, in this battle, although the royal family prevailed for a while, the last bastion of the Cathedral of Jolawan still existed, stubbornly in the city of Sainte-Quentin still maintained a place within a boundary, silently proclaiming the influence of the church that had shrunk but not completely collapsed.

On the other hand, although the strategies and ideas that Solomon came up with are not very long, only half a year has passed, but they are also showing their effect step by step.

Edward's initial decision to embrace these strategies and proposals was due to various political considerations and the need to expand support in order to gain more support in times of difficulty with the church.

He lowered the threshold for some of the privileges and benefits belonging to the nobility, but at the same time confiscated the property and land of the church, giving the nobles the opportunity to make up for the losses, so that he could successfully extinguish the anger of the nobles and turn to support the crown.

For the nobles now had more fat in the hands of the Church than the one which the king had taken away from him, and that His Majesty had succeeded in setting an example, and he took the first bite of it.

In addition, Solomon's various changes have carefully avoided the greatest taboo of the nobles, their domains and titles.

Therefore, in the days to come, the changes proposed by Solomon can continue to go forward, rather than being stagnated by the contradiction between vested interests and reformers.

This kind of political method is not the same as the situation and steps that Solomon can take advantage of in the book of Jianyi.

Solomon did not know that Edward would combine his establishment with the confrontation with the Church to form a bureau, and he originally thought that Edward should use the royal family's arbitration power among the nobles to balance the contradictions among the nobles to implement these changes.

But in any case, it's just that the path is different, but the direction is still that direction.

In the first two months, only the merchants of the commodity exchange became the first merchants to participate in the plane trade because of their advance preparation and the matchmaking of the Solomins.

Soon, however, other brave merchants took the plunge, and Derek's use of the Sealed Chest as a "teleportation car" was too obvious to be kept out for long.

Two months later, other merchants imitated Derek and arrived at Yugudral.

With the beginning of trade, the alchemy studios of some high-level mages in the Academy of Magic received more and more deals regarding the customization of magic boxes.

Even the earliest Derek continued to order the Sealing Chest, and more boxes were needed to ship the goods.

And they made a somewhat strange request to the alchemists, that is, whether the inside of the custom-made magic sealing box could be humanized and as comfortable as their own bedroom.

This request was naturally rejected by the Academy of Magic, the magic box is not a real half-plane, it relies on the engraved space magic array to maintain the storage of the shrinking space, so every inch of the design and maintenance of the space storage magic array are carefully calculated.

It is not easy to increase the shrinkage area inside, you need to be familiar with the knowledge of space magic and magic array, if you want to transform it like a bedroom, even a high-level mage is not sure that it will not affect the magic array.

Of course, if you really want to do it, it's not completely impossible, but the cost will be so high that it will be unbearable, and the value of a legendary-level item is close to the legendary-level.

However, a magic sealing box that is close to the value of a legendary-level item does not even increase the volume of shrinkage space, just to be more comfortable, and Derek himself is difficult to bear.

It's not that they can't come up with the money, but it's better to take the money out to make such a comfortable demon sealing box, and it's better to listen to Solomon's investment in the magician's research on reducing the danger that needs to be borne when teleporting the magic array.

After all, even if the comfort chest is built, it still can't carry many more people, and if the teleportation threshold can be lowered, most merchants can teleport directly through guò.

So Derek and the others can only continue to endure the miserable Demon Sealing Box teleportation for the time being, and in order to load a few more people to save costs, but the more people, it is not very comfortable to be crowded in that box during the teleportation process.

Most often, they simply ignored the designer's limit on the optimal number of loads, and generally asked for three to five people.

They were seven or eight times as large as they could squeeze in, but luckily there was no sign of the passage of time that time, and before they could feel breathless, they had teleported to Yugudral.

If it is true that the inverted frieze encounters the passage of time, they will be stuck in the void where they have lost their judgment of time, then perhaps by the time the time the time lapse phenomenon is over and they arrive at their destination, most of them have already turned into corpses.

This is the businessman, who sometimes even risks his life as long as there is a profit.

In addition to these direct impacts on the Academy of Magic and the Wizards' Guild, the development of the plane trade also has direct benefits for the kingdom.

First of all, the income from teleportation fees, although this is not too much, but if the volume of trade continues to increase, and the number of times merchants travel back and forth between the two planes, this income will also increase.

And the royal family also hopes more and more that the threshold of the teleportation magic array can be really lowered, and it can be billed by the number of people like when transporting soldiers, rather than by the number of boxes as it is now, which is also the reason why Derek and they fought hard and risked the danger to squeeze in a sealed magic box, which can save the cost of teleportation, anyway, no matter how many people stay inside, the current billing model for merchants is to charge according to the number of sealed magic boxes.

If you can charge by the number of people like a teleportation soldier, not only will the income increase, but the construction of the teleportation magic circle will be relatively easier.

There are two basic modes of teleportation magic arrays, the first is the space gate mode, which forms a ring of light gates, which are usually used for the teleportation of creatures.

The other mode is usually used for very small-scale teleportation or the teleportation of fixed items, that is, the magic circle does not move in the middle of the magic array, and the magic circle automatically teleports.

Undoubtedly, the cost of the latter and the requirements for the teleportation magic array are higher, so if the threshold of the teleportation magic array is lowered to the point where creatures can directly pass through guò without the help of the protection of the magic sealing box, then the first mode can be used for teleportation instead of the latter.

The difference is like that between the mass channel and the VIP channel.

But for the royal family, the cost is different, but the fee can be the same, and the income minus the cost is equal to the profit, so it is very normal for the royal family to also hope that the threshold will be lowered.

Other revenues are also beginning to show their sights, such as tax revenues, which the royal family most wants.

Solomon's Jianyì was originally built to open up dimensional trade restrictions to merchants in exchange for the power to collect taxes from them.

But Edward understood better than Solomon the stubbornness of the idea that the king should live on his own, so he wisely did not fully follow Solomon's plan, and offered to collect taxes from the merchants at the beginning, even if the merchants guessed that pie would not fall from the sky, and waited for the king to bargain with the king at that time.

Edward played a bit of a trick by graciously getting people to arrive in Yugudral after paying the teleportation fee, and for the first few months he didn't mention the taxes.

But the time came when the merchants had been in the flow for two months, and several merchants were either attacked by Yugudral's army or robbed of their money by the soldiers of the Saxon kingdom.

Merchants began to realize that the plane trade could generate high profits by trading in things that were not available or in short supply in other planes, but the risks were also enormous, and they had to need the protection of the kingdom and the army more than at home.

At this point, Edward naturally offered the merchants to pay their taxes, and he would grant asylum.

In order to convince the merchants, Edward promised the merchants that the taxes paid by the merchants would be used by the merchants on the royal team of Yugudral, and that the income and expenditure could be regularly announced to the merchants.

It was also around this time that in the city of Santa Quentin in Asturias, Solomon began his real beginnings.

The royal family has finally announced that an internal auction will be held, and the auction objects will be the spatial coordinates of the four savage planes.
