Chapter 6: Arthur's Kingdom

When Athena woke up from her sleep, it was already noon, the sun was gently shining through the window, and the white quilt and gray curtains exuded a warm atmosphere. Thinking of everything that happened last night, it didn't feel real, and as soon as she wanted to get up, she felt so painful all over her body, which made her immediately sober understand that this was not a dream.

Suddenly there was a charming aroma, and Athena immediately felt that she was desperately hungry, she hadn't eaten anything last night, and after such strenuous exercise, hunger was inevitable. He put on his clothes and reluctantly got up, moving in the direction where the smell came.

Arthur was happily busy, humming a song that Athena had never heard before, and he didn't know what language it was. Arthur is now cooking a dish, as he had done in his previous life. This was an idea he had for a long time, but due to his size, he had not been able to do so, and now he could finally practice the cooking skills that had been abandoned for twenty years, and the aroma came from the pot.

"You're awake, how was your sleep last night" Arthur suddenly turned his head and smiled at Athena who was standing by the door, at this time she was worried about her eyebrows, her long hair was casually scattered, and her short coat could not cover her plump and straight legs, exuding a seductive and pure beauty.

Athena was startled by Arthur's sudden turn and was overwhelmed by surprise. Under his scrutinizing gaze, he couldn't help but want to cover the exposed Chunguang, but he remembered everything that happened last night, and he gave up this kind of action in a dejected manner.

"I'm hungry, come and try my cooking!" Arthur greeted warmly, and the diner is undoubtedly the most important thing for a chef.

Athena couldn't find a trace of guilt on Arthur's face despite her best efforts. Even the dark aura that emanated from last night was gone, and now Arthur was simply wearing a white shirt and a handsome face full of easy-going smiles, which was simply a model of sunny youth.

In the end, the appetite overcame the hesitation and fear in his heart, and he was hugged by Arthur to the table, munching on the dishes on the table, but never saying a word to Arthur. The hut was still the same hut, but it was no longer as dark and terrifying as last night, and even a little cozy, and Athena almost wanted to dig into the yard to see if the bodies were still there.

Maybe it was because she was hungry, and the delicious food made her almost swallow her tongue, Arthur ate some and stopped, and then kept looking at her, admiring in his heart that it was a beauty and indeed a beauty.

Suddenly, a voice came from the courtyard, "President, Vice President, please come over." ”

"Well, tell him I'll be there soon" Arthur replied simply, and said to Athena in front of him: "Clean up here, forget it, let's wait for me to come back, you go and rest, I may come back later, don't leave this room." "Just walk out.

Athena was surprised and didn't know what to do, so she sat down in her chair in a daze, and then tears flowed down her face, and finally she cried out loud.

Arthur followed the thieves outside to the bottom of the hill, a carriage was already waiting, King sat in the coachman's seat and saluted and greeted Arthur with a smile: "Head, how was last night?" ”

"Yay. Arthur simply sat down in the driver's seat, leaving the thieves with him a little overwhelmed.

"You sit in the back. Arthur casually ordered, he hadn't seen the city yet.

The thief did not dare to disobey and opened the door and sat in the carriage, while Arthur and King laughed and drove the carriage, and the horses walked with light steps into Saint-Rolle, Arthur's new domain.

St. Rolle as the sub-city of St. Åran, here along the continent's longest River of Tears, is an important material distribution center, from all over the kingdom from all over the continuous transport of various production and living materials from the wharf here into the Saint-Åland royal capital not far from here is also Saint-Åland City, which also ensures the prosperity of Saint-Åland, the capital of nearly a million people, this world is a megacity, tens of thousands of years of civilization, mysterious magic, and the creation of a huge production capacity, as far as the most basic food problem is concerned, hundreds of generations of druids use spells to improve seeds, and the yield is even higher than that of the earth, although the continuous wars have limited the rise of the population, but the kingdom of St. Åland has also been at peace for a long time.

Arthur and King sat in the carriage and freely watched the shops on both sides of the street. In this world, all kinds of industry and commerce have flourished, and all kinds of classes have been formed. Several large chambers of commerce have formed states, purchased several large cities, and set up councils to rule the entire kingdom. Although there will be bankrupt peasants who should become thieves, it is difficult for a so-called revolution to occur in this world, because one high power can kill hundreds of civilians, and all the power is undoubtedly made up of various higher classes, and even if they can make a revolution, it is only another group of high classes.

All in all, this is a world of gods and demons, and people cannot develop completely according to their own will. Arthur had never thought of any science and technology in this world, not to mention the difference in many rules of physics and chemistry, even if he could really succeed, could an aircraft carrier help him have even a little more combat power in the face of a demigod who shuttled between planes at will? and it was likely to face the wrath of the real gods and demons because of the destruction of many existing interests. At that time, it was really a catastrophe.

Enjoying his life and improving his strength is what Arthur wants to do most and should do now.

Soon arriving at Macgee's mansion, several attendants were busy opening the carriage, completely ignoring the two "coachmen". It wasn't until the people in the carriage stood respectfully in front of Arthur that they were dumbfounded. Arthur didn't care, after all, it was his own choice, and people just did what they had to do, and there was no such thing as a dog looking down on people.

Mark soon came out to greet him, and he spent a morning counting McGee's property, and then it was up to Arthur to decide what to do with them, although Arthur used a charm spell to ask directly from McGee's mouth during the confession, but the number on the newspaper also made Arthur feel admired: McGee is so good at fishing. But now these things are naturally cheaper Arthur. Although Bloodthorn's share and Hyde's share are naturally indispensable, the rest also makes Arthur very satisfied.

Then it was a busy afternoon, with Arthur sitting in his new office (Macgee's mansion Arthur had decided to dispose of, after all, as a thief's guild, keeping a low profile was just a gesture, but it would help them to save them a lot of trouble), listening to the reports of his leaders, and accepting the audience of various people. Chiefly some of the local chamber of commerce representatives, Arthur assured them that the cost of security would not increase, and might even decrease, and everyone was undoubtedly very satisfied. One of the more special ones was the sheriff of Saint-Roll, who personally opened the door for him, which surprised him a little, after all, Arthur had more power than him in this city.

What Arthur wanted to build was a very traditional union of thieves, with a clear class hierarchy and clear power. Each boss controls different areas and reports directly to his superiors, which can be somewhat bureaucratic, but simple and orderly, and easy to control. And Arthur wants to use the proportion of "business" such as casinos, brothels, and black markets to reduce the investment in theft and looting, so as to obtain a more stable income, which requires the help of local merchants and sheriffs. And this is very good for the order of the whole city, which the official ruling class of these cities naturally likes very much. Since there are some things that cannot be destroyed, then a stable and orderly organization is necessary.

When Arthur returned to the hut, it was already night, although Mark had prepared the most comfortable accommodation for him in the city, Arthur still preferred the cabin in the suburbs, which made him think of Aven, of the home of this world, in Bloodthorn because of the needs of work, he could not leave Thorn Mountain, Arthur was already thinking about when to go back to see.

Moreover, the dwelling in the wilderness was more in line with Arthur's taste and the needs of the druids, and there were many experiments that could not be carried out in densely populated places. The purge is not over yet, according to Arthur's requirements, even after the purge is over, there will be new corpses to be transported to wherever in the future, flesh and blood is the favorite fertilizer of all plants, and it is also a necessity for many aggressive plants, especially demonic plants, but in Bloodthorn there are no such conditions, and now that there is an opportunity, Arthur will naturally not let it go.

After all, these things can bring him strength, and in this world, strength is undoubtedly the most important.
