quicksilver blood

Chapter 334 Rawlness
As soon as night fell, the royal court of Falaro was already full of people.

It was a scene like a grand dinner party, but compared to a dinner party, the atmosphere seemed too tense.

Only a handful of people were eating with Rolnis.A few people approached him nervously, but were immediately pulled away by the people behind them.

The ministers got together to discuss something, and some nobles with only false names were even pushed out of the door.An old man with a white beard, a high-spirited young general, and some nobles dressed in expensive animal skins quarreled together.

"Your Majesty, while there are not many monsters coming up from the big crack, hurry up and dispatch the third army to wipe them out! Those monsters are underground monsters, and it will be too late!"

"Nonsense! It's just a bunch of monsters. Wouldn't it be a joke if we call the regular army?"

"That's right, we in Farala have good men who are good at hunting. Those stupid monsters are completely unorganized. Although they rushed up from the seal, they can be treated as a wave of beasts..."

"That's right, isn't it the same as the beast tide? It's just that the types of monsters you deal with are different from the usual ones. Don't be so nervous."

"But in the ancient books..."

"Haha, Marquis Kasmo, you are too nervous this time. You can't believe all the old proverbs you taught me."

"No, I swear on the name of Loda Khan, this situation will definitely be different..."

"Wait! You can't say this nonsense—"

"...No, Lord Marquis is right. I don't feel good either."

"What's not so good, can they still form an army? Besides, even if they really form a legion, just a group of mindless monsters, can they still be more powerful than the Titans' army?"

On one side the nobles and ministers were arguing fiercely, while on the other side Rolnis just sat in her seat, chewing her food slowly, watching the farce absently.

This young mountain king is not as handsome or beautiful as the rulers of other countries.He is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, with small eyes, red cheeks and a big rosacea. He has surprisingly many muscles that are not graceful, but they give people the illusion of being full of fat. From a distance it looks like a small potato.

Because of his image, some people who were not familiar with him even thought that Rolnis had dwarf blood in him, and those who hated him called him "the dwarf king" and "that old dwarf" in private.

Moreover, Rolnis did have the arrogance and fiery temper unique to dwarves, and he completely dismissed these rumors, not bothering to refute them, so such rumors have even been taken seriously in some areas.This even sparked many jokes.

One of the most famous jokes is that shortly after Rohrniss took the throne, a traveling druid from Caral and a very talented bard wanted to come to Fararo and planned to write a biography for Rohrniss.

But after he visited all over the country of Farajo, he wrote in the biography of Rolnis: "A violent but wise king. A quarter of a wrought-iron dwarf blood."

After that, the Dwarf King of Falaro quickly became a big joke--a quarter is too delicate a number.Regardless of appearance—the average height of a semi-dwarf is 1.3 to 1.4 meters, while the former king is a burly mountain man with a height of more than two meters.

If the former king really had a half-dwarf princess... Cough.

The picture was too beautiful to look directly at.

Many people don't understand why the strong and burly king can give birth to offspring like Rolnis.Until now, some people still think that Rolnis is a thief who used the blood-stealing ritual to steal the royal blood of the king of the mountain people to usurp the throne.

The name Rolnis means "wise and wise" in the language of the mountain people, but no one would ever believe that this king really had a wise heart.

In the three years since he came to power, he has done almost nothing, but only maintained the policy of the former king and continued it as usual.This makes those who expect him to implement drastic reforms after he takes office.The enthusiasm of the people in Ge gradually faded, and they gradually became disappointed in him.

In addition to the titles often used by foreigners such as "King of the Dwarves", some ministers and nobles of Fararu prefer to call him "The Foolish King".

But looking at it from the perspective of God, Rolnis really did nothing wrong.

Farajo neither faced any crisis nor encountered any big opportunities, but just developed slowly and flatly.From Rohrness's point of view, maintaining the status quo is already a very good choice.

This is the case with many things, the more they change, the worse they get.If we maintain the status quo, we can at least ensure progress.

Since there is still room for improvement and room for development, and Farajo is not deadlocked, there is no need for any form of reform at all.

Rather, Rolnis himself knew that he was obviously lacking in talent compared to his father.But what makes him valuable is that he is soberly aware of this, so he is very smart not to move anything, and everything remains as it is.It's not about the nobles and common people who don't understand anything.What changes are really being made amid the voices of revolution.

Rohrness was not as stupid as he appeared.

He can carry out reforms that seem to have changed a lot in some insignificant places, but they have not shaken the fundamental reforms.At the same time, he can also give some small benefits to the people-but that's all he can do.

The late king's vitality and will were too tenacious.When he was tortured by some mysterious curse, his muscles withered, his teeth fell out, his hair was gray, and he could only sway on the bed, he still managed to deal with all the problems before his only son took the throne.

But everyone knows that this was done by the previous king.This kind of wisdom of realizing what will happen in the future, how to deal with it, and what kind of counterattack they will face before they are alive makes the mountain people worship the wisdom of the king even more.

After the former king held his last breath and worked continuously for more than 20 hours, if Fala really has no problems left...

As long as Rolnis honestly walks along the road paved for him by the previous king, although he will never leave a name of wisdom in history, if nothing happens, Fararo will be on the throne better than his father Time is much stronger.

Lornis didn't move at all, which proved his wisdom.

Three years after taking the throne, not to mention the Titans, even within Fararu, few people knew about Rolness's trump card.

On the other hand, if Rolnis did not achieve very good results after carrying out any reforms, then the people would naturally feel disappointed after comparing his talents with those of the previous kings, and then they would be disappointed with Rolnis. disrespectful.

If compared vertically, Rolness can also be ranked at the front among the previous kings of the mountain people.But he really had no room for improvement.

"Grow it underground..."

Rolnis was lazily leaning on his seat, holding half a roasted chicken that was charred and oily in his right hand, his narrow eyes were squinted thinking about something, he seemed to be distracted.

He is not as ignorant of subterranean species as these people are.

After his good friend, Les, whom he almost regarded as his own brother, was deceived by the brain-eating monster in the city of wealth, Rolnis asked his teacher to check the information on underground planting.

It took half a month before he got this information from his teacher.At that time, he was taken aback, and at the same time realized the danger of these things.

Now, Rolnis is somewhat thankful that he did not ignore Rice's opinion and went to learn about underground species.Otherwise, he would really regard the underground species as a monster like those guys who are no different from stupid pigs.

And now...

Rolnis tore a big mouthful of chicken, chewing slowly.

Now, this disaster that is about to be triggered by the invasion of underground monsters will become an opportunity for him to stand up.
