Heaven’s Intention

Kingdom of Hera, a certain country road. This road is a dirt road. It is usually better. When it rains, it will be muddy. If the weather is sunny, the soil will dry out and you can walk faster. , it is easy to stir up dust, if a fast horse gallops past, it will definitely be a disaster for other passers-by. Ye^zi~you~you

Normally, people who pass by this road will consciously take their steps lightly, even if they are not thinking about others, they will pay attention to breathing more freely for themselves.

This morning, it was another sunny day. There were many people walking on this country road, because the sun would show its sinister side at noon, and people like to go out before noon.

Talking and laughing, or chatting, is one of the ways to relieve boredom on the road.

At this moment, a rush of horseshoes suddenly came from the other side of the road. Immediately, several fast horses came from far to near, almost passing by the bodies of these passers-by. Because they were in a hurry, the horses The Mercedes-Benz's speed was extremely fast, which not only shocked some passers-by, but also brought up a large cloud of dust.

Ah-choo! Ah-choo! How did these guys make it on their way?

Bah! So much dirt! Is it okay to run so fast?

Cough cough cough...

While the dust is everywhere, there are not a few people who suffer.

Here is the middle road between two villages and towns. At this time of the morning, there are many pedestrians walking on the road, so there are not a few people who are choked by the dust.

Bah! This is too bad luck! Who are these people? A passerby who was choked by dust spat on the ground and said depressedly.

Hush! Keep your voice down, young man. Those people who passed by just now are all royal knights. Let them hear your words, and you will be miserable! The young man's voice was especially loud. An old man next to him immediately persuaded in a low voice.

Royal knight? Hearing this, the young man broke into cold sweat.

In the past, knights who killed civilians only needed to pay compensation and did not need to be punished by justice. With the development of the times, the law has gradually become comprehensive and relatively fair. Ye^zi~you$youm

Even so, it is impossible for the other party to kill a civilian if he kills them.

The young man looked at the direction where the fast horses were going away, and asked the old man next to him in surprise: Is this the royal knight? I seldom see them.

Not to mention rushing like this, what happened today? Running so fast, no one even knows to hide on the road. Could it be... that something big is going to happen in the kingdom?

Royal knights usually pay great attention to their appearance and demeanor, and rarely are they in such a hurry.

Hearing the young man's question, the old man was also surprised. He said, I'm also a little surprised. What happened to change the appearance of these knights who usually pay attention to etiquette?

Is there going to be a war?

No way? Another war?

Don't listen to his nonsense, what does he know as a carpenter!

Then tell me, why are they in such a hurry? What news are they sending? After hearing their conversation, some pedestrians around were also curious about what happened to the passing knights. .

While these people were talking, these knights had already galloped a long way.

Captain, don't you need to hurry? Hasn't the news been sent by the magician with a magic letter? Why do we need to run again? While speeding, a knight couldn't help but catch up with the person in front, and asked loudly .

The sound of horseshoes was too loud, and if the sound was low, the other party would not be able to hear it at all.

What do you know? The letter is sent out, but it is in the form of a magic letter. But we knights and magicians are two systems. The magic letter is just a quick report. The official letterhead and official documents are reported to the capital by us. .And, if it’s just a magic letter, if we don’t convey it, then what will we do in the future?” The knight in the front said coldly without turning his head.

It's true...we'll be officially handing over the document when we arrive. ^^Yezi*yoyo_starting the knight who asked the question nodded and said.

Stop talking, everyone urge me to go fast, and rest when I get there!

Yes! Hearing the captain's order, all the knights shouted in unison, the horseshoes were raised, dust was flying, and all the knights hurried on their way.

Esk Kingdom, the king's capital, at this time, in the palace, there is a red carpet on the normal corridor, and there are lampstands a few steps away.

It is said that there are 600 lamps in the whole palace, which can illuminate the whole palace brightly.

The nobles in the palace chatted leisurely, and only the young attendants served respectfully.

The court nobles do not have much territory. They are actually the talent pool raised by the royal family, maintaining the operation of the royal family. After hundreds of years, they have formed a huge scale, and of course they have accumulated strong strength.

Further away, in a hall, more senior nobles were chatting, and inside was the king's office.

Recently, all the coastal countries are plagued by insects! The king commented on the document and said with emotion.

Your Majesty, our Kingdom of Esk has not been severely affected by the disaster, and the royal territory is in good condition. This year's harvest in all aspects will not cause too much loss. A minister bowed and said.

What about the counties?

The dukes, marquises, and earls haven't reported yet, so it's clear that the situation is still under control. The minister said lightly, without saying too much.

Under the enfeoffment system, the king only needs to manage his own royal territory. In fact, most of the territories of the counties are not under the jurisdiction of the king and the royal family, and disasters are also the responsibility of the nobles.

The king nodded and continued to work without saying anything.

Oh? Is there any movement in Tetashaw again? After receiving a magic letter reported from below, the king took the letter from his attendants, carefully tore open the cover, and unfolded the contents inside. , read it carefully.

The magic letter is indeed very fast in receiving speed, but it is not without flaws.

First of all, it is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. Even the royal family's intelligence agencies can't afford it if every document and every message is sent by magic letter.

The second is to use magic to transfer, and the materials used have a certain limit, and the number of words that can be transmitted has a certain limit each time.

It is precisely because of these two shortcomings that the magic letter has not been popularized even though it has existed for many years. When sending urgent messages or documents, magic letters are used, but when there are many materials, manual work is still required. transfer.

You go down first. Looking at the servant standing in front of him, the king waved his hand and let him go down. At this moment, there were only a few servants and ministers in the hall standing far away. The king lowered his head and began to read the letter. .

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't anything serious, he was just reporting a change in the territory.

So it's just that some new special products have come out! The king murmured, showing a relaxed smile. There was a new legend in the kingdom, which attracted his attention all the time.

Your Majesty, what makes you happy? At this time, several nobles came in from the outside, because they had been approved by the king to walk freely in the meeting hall, and today they came to discuss the latest government affairs with the king. On this date, the attendants outside did not report to the king, they entered by themselves.

As soon as he entered, he heard the king's laughter.

It's nothing, someone reported to me that Tertashaw collar has bred three new varieties of fruit, and they are on the market. It is said that the response is very good. Do you want to place a few orders? the king asked casually, right as a pastime and a rest .

A new variety of fruit? Several nobles looked at the king.

These aristocrats all have high titles, above earls, and are veterans of the king. They know the king's mind very well. It is rare to see the king so happy at this time, so they said casually: Your Majesty, the dragon fruit that was released last time Not bad, is there a new variety this time?

Well, the lord of Tetashaw is His Royal Highness Romon. The three new varieties that have been released recently may have been cultivated by him after he entered the sanctuary. It is said that these three fruits taste sweet and have the effect of prolonging life if eaten regularly! Speaking of this, the king said with a smile: I plan to order some, taste it, and see how it is. After a while, detailed information about these three fruits will be presented. I want to take a closer look. Look.

Then our family needs to order some. These nobles said casually, and after a few words, they turned to the main topic: Your Majesty, there is finally a formal decision on the issue of compensation for the last war. gone.

The nobleman who spoke was slightly older.

It's been five years. Has there finally been a decision? The king sighed, and said, this is the battle against the elves. In this battle, Prince Xiu Senya died in battle, followed by a large number of royal fleets .

Your Majesty, the official decision will be in your hands by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest. The nobleman said softly, obviously understanding the king's feelings: But the specific compensation has already been released, and I will report it to you.

... Tell me!

As ordered, the three coastal kingdoms will all compensate. First of all, in terms of funds, there will be about 1.2 million pensions, and the compensation will be paid in five years.

The Kingdom of Derby is close to our country, and will cede to us a piece of territory north of Mount Anlu, covering about 1,000 square kilometers. Of course, it will also receive compensation from other kingdoms.

In terms of trade and tariffs, there are preferences.

After finishing these three main points, the nobleman lowered his head a little and waited for the king's orders.

A thousand square kilometers is not small. Although it is relatively poor there, the king smiled wryly and said: Let's count this territory, set aside a third of it, and reward the meritorious ministers.

Obey! The nobleman complied, and this is a proper word. Many court nobles are looking forward to the territory!

Although this kind of territory is small, it is still a territory. With a territory, a noble family is worthy of the name. Maybe, in the future, it can become a legitimate baron or viscount!
