I Will Be The Crowned King

Latest website: Although I still can't completely believe the "friendship" of Ian Clemens and others, at least their attitude makes Anson very satisfied, and he can trust the Harold Foundation with confidence.

Whether this organization can deceive the Crecy family and the Faithless Knights, Anson doesn't care. He only intends to use this organization as a special fishing agency to draw out all kinds of potential threats against the Rune family and the Storm Division.

No matter what you do, there is a price to pay, and the fruit of victory may well be the beginning of the next crisis—and Anson knows this all too well.

In order to survive, he chose to become a spellcaster; in order to receive allowances, he jumped left and right between the black mage and the archbishop, and was finally exiled to the new world for the independent and uninterrupted military power...

In order to take advantage of the rebellion of the imperial colonies, he tried his best to instigate liberals everywhere, and finally successfully established the Free Confederation. He also introduced a large amount of new capital from the mainland, and established a steel factory, a salt factory, a printing factory, a textile factory... …

Since it has attracted foreign capital, it has to let them share the cake of power while making investment; since it advocates independence and freedom, it is not particularly surprising that there are voices against the mainland and longing for independence under my own rule. matter.

Therefore, the birth of the Harold Foundation is inevitable. Even if Anson forcibly disbands them now, all members hanged on the masts of the port ships to show the public will not help, it will only make the next "Harold Foundation" born. Stealth, more united, stronger.

Killing can't solve the problem - the imperial army massacred in Sail City, massacred in Grey Pigeon Castle, killed the colonies outside Black Reef Harbor almost to the point of extinction, and failed to completely extinguish the fire of resistance.

Instead of perfectly re-enacting the stupid things that the Empire has done, it is better to "captivate" these opponents and keep Ian Clemens in a controllable state; cooperate with them when necessary, let the local Understand how difficult it is for Stormmasters to manage colonies.

As for the real president and Harold's widow, they are no longer in Beluga Harbor.

The former, through the sincere persuasion of An Sen’s knowledge and reason, fully realized that compared with his family and his own life, his career is not worth mentioning; New President", handing over the management of the foundation to His Excellency "Kolo Musk".

For such a sensible collaborator, Anson arranged a position for him at the Legion Farm, and the treatment was at the same level as the head of the regiment. He was mainly responsible for the writing work that did not need to go out-it was also a way to find a helper for his adjutant.

And Harold's widow... This lady actually has no interest in the "Harold Foundation" at all. She was forced out by a group of good-hearted people who talk about themselves, resulting in her mental health not being normal. .

Anson understood the poor widow's situation, and privately sponsored two ferry tickets—she and her son—plus a thousand gold coins for travel and resettlement expenses, to return to the mainland and find a suitable place to live in North Harbor.

So far, he has completely completed the overall control of the Harold Foundation from the inside to the outside, and has completely placed the liberals of Beluga Harbor under the control of the headquarters and the Rune family.

Soon, the three of Ian Clemens used the foundation's practical actions to prove their "friendship" to Anson

Less than a week after that carefully planned meeting, rumors of "Speaker Harold is actually alive" and "a conspiracy between the Knights of the Faithless and Chancellor Mason Weitzler" quickly spread. The streets and alleys of Beluga Harbour.

Unlike the previous rapid spread through newspapers, this time the news was spread through pubs and various parties, usually starting with "I'll tell you a secret", followed by "Don't tell anyone" or "Never. Say it" at the end.

The effect is amazing.

All kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods who were originally hidden in the dark, were very unfriendly to the mainland, and opposed the management of the garrison army, came to the surface one after another, and came to the door in various ways, hoping to reach a cooperation with the foundation and jointly resist the "cruel oppression" of the mainland against the colonies. .

Frustrated workshop owners and farm owners in previous reforms, merchants engaged in ocean and colonial trade, and ill-conceived pioneer colonies... With the efforts of the Foundation, all kinds of people quickly gathered on the side of "Speaker Harold". Around the flag, in addition to relying on the Rune family and the garrison, it became the second force in Moby Dick.

The demands are also very simple: reduce control, reduce restrictions, the army cannot freely enter and leave the city, and the commander of the garrison should not interfere too much with the management of the colony.

All in all, the less restrictions and supervision, the better, and at the same time, we must strive for the right to "negotiate taxes" with the mainland, and we can no longer let the mainland exploit the colonies wantonly as in the past.

And Anson Bach, who was regarded as a "local representative" and the main object of resistance by them, described his mood at the moment in one sentence, that is, relaxed and happy.

No matter what angle of analysis, it is a happy thing to be able to turn these originally wild opposition into domestic pets; especially, it can also take the responsibility of distracting the Cressey family and monitoring some small gangsters. Functions of gangs and Old God organizations.

After all, destroying the foundation that the Crecy family relies on to control the Faithless Knights is indeed a heavy blow to Fair Cresci, but it is also equivalent to releasing at least two-digit unrestricted, extremely good at infiltration and assassination work It is also a hidden danger to the security of the colony.

And a proposal like "tax negotiation" that involves a large number of interested groups is just to reach a consensus within the Beluga Harbor colony, let alone come up with a feasible plan; during the period, various negotiations, wrangling, wooing, buying... If they want to succeed for at least a few months, Anson has a way to make them fall short and start over.

Although it is impossible to eliminate the opposition, it can use various methods to make the actions against itself go to waste, or it is completely different from the hope at the beginning, or even the opposite... The parliamentary system is indeed an excellent system that can satisfy everyone.

With such a happy mood, Anson Bach, who actively founded the New World Company while learning magic spells, waited for Talia, who returned late at the end of October and the beginning of November.

"woo woo woo woo----"

Boiling hot water poured out milky white water vapor from the spout, and a whistle-like sound echoed in every corner of the living room.

Gently snapping his fingers, An Sen, who had extinguished the fire with [Gathering Flame], put away his pocket watch, and took the coffee beans he had just ground by himself from the side.

Only by learning it by yourself do you realize that making a pot of coffee is not as easy as it seems.

From the simplest warm cup to steaming and brewing, in just two minutes, there are at least ten major steps and dozens of details that need to be carefully controlled: the thickness of the ground coffee beans, how to avoid brewing The coffee becomes cold when brewing, the water temperature and water injection method before steaming, too high, it will be bitter and too low, and it will be dull, and to what extent do you need to warm the cup to prevent the coffee from becoming sour...

Even the roasting degree of the coffee beans itself, whether to add milk and sugar cubes, and how much to add, which involves the taster's personal taste, are so unimaginable that a pot of boiling water is sublimated to the level of art.

But when a cup of coffee is born that is fragrant and mellow, slightly sweet but not bitter, exudes a warm milky fragrance and has a beautiful latte, you will know that two minutes plus at least fifty hours of hard study is definitely worth it.

"thanks."

Sitting on the sofa, Talia said softly, took the coffee cup with both hands, and the smile on her face was full of happiness: "Dear Anson, this is really a surprise."

"you are welcome."

Anson chuckled lightly and placed the other two cups of coffee on the coffee table with a table cushion: "It should be me who should be thanked. Please participate in the Supreme Council of Grey Pigeon Castle instead."

"It's just my fiancée's job." The girl took a sip of her coffee and narrowed her eyes with two crescent moons. "Not to mention, this can also increase the influence of the Rune family in the new world, which is killing two birds with one stone."

"Oh? Sounds like the meeting went well."

"Or in other words, as long as there is no speech from Sir Louis Bernard, it is very smooth."

"How?" An Sen was interested, but his eyes were a little erratic.

"Sir Louis Bernard, he... seems to have a certain misunderstanding of the Free Confederacy, and regards the Supreme Council as a coercive institution that can really influence the Free Confederacy."

Although it was well concealed, Anson could still hear some complaints and a little bit of irony from her: "This naive lord of knights seems to really think that the Confederacy alone can accomplish many great things. ."

"So in the end, whether it was to prevent the Storm Division from interfering with the Free Confederacy, or to form a real 'Confederate Legion', it was rejected by everyone; so that in the end, as long as he spoke at the stage, everyone acquiesced that it was not at all. Realistic."

Well, I can already imagine the hoarseness and grief and despair of the young master... An Sen, who nodded slightly, said in his heart.

"Other than that, everything went well, and Talia also talked for a long time with that Miss Paulina Frey, ready to support her to become the first consul of the Free Confederacy—that is, the king or speaker of the Confederacy."

Taking another sip of coffee, the girl's face showed a somewhat surprised expression: "It tastes really good, dear Anson, you must have practiced for a long time, right?"

"Where, it's just a sudden interest." An Sen shook his head, but there was already a faint self-satisfaction in his eyes:

"I've found that by making coffee, I can exercise my concentration in rubbing magic, I can also train myself to control time and certain details, and it can be used as an additional entertainment and pastime."

"The speed of your progress is always astonishing, and each parting brings more surprises to Talia." The girl praised unreservedly:

"Speaking of magic, Talia just happens to have some new discoveries to share with Anson. It is about the progress in St. Isaac's previous notes on how to master the three magics at the same time."

"Oh?"

Anson adjusted his sitting position and his expression became focused.

"It turns out that Isaac Rand's idea of ​​'mastering the three major magics at the same time' should really come from the New World - at least the source." Talia said softly:

"Does Anson have any impressions of the first night in Baker Village?"

This should refer to the fireball that fell from the sky and was easily 'killed' by Baker... An Sen nodded slightly, and glanced to the side again:

"Of course there is. It should be Miss Freya who released the fireball at that time, right?"

"Exactly."

Talia nodded slightly: "According to what she said, her magic was not only forcibly offset by being 'distorted' by a more powerful force, but also completely wiped out from the spiritual level."

"Spirit level?"

"This is an extremely powerful black magic technique. For those black mages who have mastered some of the principles of conjuration magic, they can 'erase' the magic prepared by a conjurer by reading their minds. The opponent's armament." The girl explained:

"In other words, Baker, who was a conjurer at the time, used two kinds of magic at the same time during one attack; and in subsequent battles, he also showed the ability of blood magic."

"And the reason for all this is the founder of the 'Baker Family', Norula."

"In some incomprehensible way, she mastered the three major magics at the same time, and successfully reached the level of 'blasphemy mage'; but because the three powers are almost equal and conflict with each other, she has to spread the power out - that is, Anson I met Lord Baker, eldest son Nora, and Lady Camille."

"The three puppets created by Norula are responsible for controlling the power of one kind of magic, and when needed, they can also concentrate the power of the other two into the body of one of the puppets; it is precisely through this constant adjustment of the balance that In this way, Nolula has mastered the three major magics at the same time, reaching a state of almost 'immortality'."

"Of course, she also paid for it - the three puppets she created had independent consciousness because of the magic itself~www.readwn.com~ and her thirst for 'family', trying to get rid of her all the time control, and eventually even imprisoned her in turn."

"But even so, her method still has a lot to learn from, and it proves that mastering the three major magics at the same time is not an illusory imagination, but a real possible reality."

Talia paused slightly and looked at Anson, whose expression became more and more abnormal: "Any questions?"

"Uh, could it be something else?"

"Of course, please don't be restrained."

"Nothing else, just..." Taking a deep breath, An Sen forced a smile on his stiff face, pointing to the figure on the sofa next to him:

"Who is she?"

"Oh, she." Talia smiled gently:

"She is Norula."
