239 Brooke Act

Green River Valley.

The night gradually thickened, and the clouds were churning outside the window, just like the situation in the principality at this time.

Onisha flipped through the papers on the table, her brow furrowed slightly, and she sighed for a long time. He is still a little naΓ―ve, and it seems that the current An Lan is gradually getting out of his control.

When the once passionate heart gradually became quiet, the reality of real indifference finally tore off its mask of hypocrisy. Especially after this tragic war, the army that had been loyal to her was badly damaged, and the power of the noble alliance had completely exceeded the strength in her hands.

She's at a real disadvantage, and it looks like there's little chance of a reversal.

All this is not unimaginable, when the Duchy of Anlan was annexed, the Church of Light almost slaughtered the entire royal family in order to eradicate the cornerstone of Anlan and consolidate its rule, which also means that the power of the royal family, which was originally rooted for thousands of years, was almost uprooted.

Onessa, who happened not to be in the Green River Valley at the time, became the only surviving lineage. Later, with the help of the power of the Fire Demon King Banargomo, she rebuilt the "Fire Demon Knights" full of hatred and took revenge on the Holy See of Light. Onisha, who had already made up her mind to die, never had any thoughts of returning to the country at all. But when the "Path of the Lightwalker" was opened, Herseus's reminder was like a light that illuminated her gloomy heart, and the possibility of recovering her country could not be suppressed in her heart, like a small flame, gradually burning into boundless enthusiasm.

With this enthusiasm and the prestige established in the process of leading the Flame Demon Knights to revenge, Oneisha, who has an orthodox identity, ascended to the top and shouted, just as the Church of Light had no time to take care of the internal and external troubles, and the Principality of Anlan was finally re-established. This allowed Oneisha's fame to be unparalleled in the country for a while, reaching a new peak, but even at that time. The inner sorrow has never been eliminated.

Under the immense fame, the power in Onesha's hands did not match it. The aftermath of the slaughter of the royal family slowly became apparent, and Onesha even fell into an embarrassing situation where no one was available in political affairs, and the great nobles who had retained their strength in the upheaval took control of the major positions in the upper echelons of the principality, in fact, vacating His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of the Green River Valley.

There are only armies from the lower classes and the "Knights of the Fire". is her most powerful help. These soldiers, who had fought with her since the early days of the restoration of the country, supported him unconditionally, and it was very difficult for the nobles to infiltrate him.

But at this time, the new army of light invaded on a large scale, and the Duchy of Anlan was forced to fight. Although Innedir eventually had no choice but to retreat, the principality also got a rare respite. However, when the external threat was temporarily eliminated, the forces within the duchy began to stir up again, and her army was greatly damaged in the war. Finally, the power to suppress the nobility was completely lost.

"Every time I hold a court meeting, the nobles will meet again in the palace of the Marquis of Borriello?" Onissa muttered the information in her hand and sighed under her breath, she continued to turn the page, staring at the list presented by the Intelligence Division, which covered almost all the important departments under her command, it was simply shocking.

However, this is to be expected. Onesha glanced out the window, where the tall, silent Knights of the Firefiend were on duty. In order to prepare for a possible coup d'Γ©tat. She had rehabilitated her most elite and reliable force back to the Green River Valley.

"Their power has infiltrated the newly recruited army...... she flipped through the next document, and quickly skimmed through the information recorded in it, and the slender Emei never stretched.

The bad news came one after another, and she finally let go and threw the dense pages back on her desk.

"Information on the Herseus Valley?" Ornessa raised an eyebrow with a lilac document seal at the bottom. Reached out and took it. The order in which the documents are placed shows that this information is not of great importance, and in fact, there has been no news from Allegri for a long time, after all, he will not be his enemy.

"It's been so good...... I don't know what the valley has become now......" Onisha carefully read the unimportant document. "However, how do I remember, Allegri shouldn't have this kind of governing talent, it shouldn't be Dios and Illo......" Her gaze quickly searched, and finally froze into a ridiculous expression, "Chief Archon Andrei?...... You're really good at recycling. ”

But she forgot that back then, she also relied on the governing ability of this "waste" very much.

Looking at the papers scattered on the desk, Onisha was stunned for a moment, shook her head with a wry smile, and stood up.

"No matter what...... "Anlan's archduchess whispered hatefully, "if they force me like this again, I will join the team and go to Allegri, it will not be any worse than Andrei's treatment......"

Herseus Valley.

In the mage's quarters, Allegri, who rarely had a day of leisure, walked on the clean stone path, looking left and right with curiosity on his face.

This magical town was built by his own hands, but almost no one knows him on the streets. As a great magician, Allegri could never teach an apprentice magician how to solidify spells. Every Thursday, he would find time to personally mentor mages above the intermediate level, as well as a small number of excellent beginner mages. As for magic apprentices and general beginner mages, Brooke arranged for some middle and high-level mages to teach classes, giving them certain magical resources and money as a reward.

On weekdays, there are also many sympathies between the same levels in the town for the mages to exchange difficult questions with each other. Higher-ranking mages sometimes get involved, instructing these juniors to break through bottlenecks. This up-and-coming town is an inclusive, open and thriving city.

Surrounded by a number of young magic apprentices hurrying around with heavy magic books in their arms. As they walked, they talked to each other in twos and threes, and even argued with each other about the correctness and falsehood of a certain magic formula, arguing until their ears were red and their necks were thick. On both sides of the street, Allegri's planned magic shops are gradually opening, and many rudimentary magic resources such as blank scrolls, potion materials, and even magic crystals can be seen, and when the town slowly develops, these shops will also be opened to private people......

The corners of Allegri's mouth curled slightly, such a sight made his heart feel very satisfied and gratified, and when he looked up and saw that the corner was the mage's reception, Allegri turned around and walked in.

"You're here to declare...... Huh, Teacher, why are you here?" Brooke stood up, and the other clerks beside him stood up with respectful faces. It was not yet the time for the "Flywheel" caravan carriage to arrive, so there happened to be no magicians in the reception area to attend to business, and it seemed a little empty.

"I'll just take a look, it's all about you," Allegri asked, waving his hand kindly as he sat down across from Brooke, "how's the whole going?"

"The peak period has passed, and the number of magicians who have applied for review has dropped significantly these days," Brooke took out the statistical table and introduced, "At present, there are 3,562 people in the settlement, of which about 400 are formal magicians, 200 are in the magic production profession, about 1,400 are magic apprentices, and the rest are the families of magicians. ”

"Now the number is more than I expected, but as long as there are still people coming, the reception will be preserved," Allegri mused, "In the future, this place can be transformed into a management and service organization for magicians, and we will clarify the functions of the institution with Andrei, and it will be officially established these days." ”

"Okay," Brooke nodded and hesitated, "By the way, teacher, I still have a few small issues on my side that need to be decided at your discretion. ”

"You say. Allegri put down the form and looked up.

"First of all, there is the issue of the mage's family, there is no limit to the number now, I am afraid that the town will be overcrowded in the future, teacher, you see?" Brooke asked.

"So be it...... Formal mages can carry two, and magic apprentices can only bring one," Allegri thought to the side, "There are no restrictions on mages and production professions above the middle level for the time being, which can be regarded as an incentive. I remember that the last time I gave a lecture, there were only sixty or seventy middle and high-level mages, so it was harmless, and I could raise the standard as appropriate in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll have this rule published in a moment, and I'll follow the rules in the future," Brooke continued, "There's another problem, there are some mid-to-high-level magicians and production professions who have applied to establish magic laboratories, but there may be some security risks in them...... So I'm not too afraid to approve it. ”

"Magic Laboratory?" Allegri nodded, this is indeed a necessity for the combination of theory and practice for mages above the middle level, he pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from the current number of middle and high-level mages in the town, this kind of demand should not be much, we are on the periphery of the town...... A number of public laboratories were set up on the north side of the forbidden area and made available for their use. ”

"Okay," Brooke breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "that's the last question, I personally feel that it is necessary to restrict the use of high-level and above spells in the town, so as not to cause accidental injury, after all, these spells are too harmful." ”

"Hmm...... You're really thoughtful," Allegri was stunned for a moment, he hadn't even thought about this question, "You reminded me that a clear bill is the guarantee for the smooth development of the town, and magicians are also people, and the handling of affairs needs a definite standard." We're going to do it right away. ”

"I don't know what I'm talking about, but I really want to call you Mayor Brooke right now......" Allegri stood up with a smile and exclaimed, "I decided to engrave this bill into a stone slab and display it in the central square of the town, so that everyone can act according to it...... And because of the dedication you put into the development of the town, we call it ...... Brooke Act. (To be continued......)
