In the Name of the Queen

The division plan of the Val city-state was introduced very quickly.

The fertile land on the west bank of the Rodinia River in the city-state belongs to the Golden Kite Republic.

This land is indeed good, but its strategic position is poor. It is across the river from the main city of Val and belongs to a separate area.

Although it is not the best place, it is not the worst either. The representatives of the Golden Kite Kingdom accepted it without much objection.

The Kingdom of Tyrol was divided into the South City District, the Sussex Empire was divided into the North City District and part of the docks, and the Vladimir Empire was divided into the East City District and part of the docks.

The occupied areas of the Wend Empire are sandwiched between the Sussex and Vladimir occupied areas, and they are all relatively poor places.

The occupied areas are divided according to the strength of each country, and they have nothing to say.

The three major religions can open temples and preach in the city, but they cannot cross the border.

The Holy Spring of Light is naturally handed over to the Court of Light.

After the division, most countries are very satisfied.

The Val city-state is not satisfied, but fortunately the Val city-state has disappeared, so they don’t have to care about their feelings.

After the international conference ended, representatives from various countries left one after another.

Prime Minister William was busy with many things and could not leave the imperial capital for a long time. After the guests from various countries left, he also boarded the returning warship.

Before leaving, he visited Sif and tentatively asked Sif if she wanted to go back with him.

Sif politely and firmly refused.

Her reasons were sufficient.

She wanted to continue investigating the disappearance of her father.

Although she did not plan to go back, she still affirmed William's work.

When leaving the Queen's Palace, William just sighed silently and said nothing.

When Sif was in the imperial capital, everyone thought she was a vase who liked to make trouble. When she left, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief, including him.

After Sif left, William gradually realized the significance of the emperor's existence.

The empire is too big.

There are interest groups behind each minister, and the interests of these groups are not consistent.

Like the Minister of Overseas Affairs, he certainly hopes to expand more colonies. But the Home Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer do not think so.

Colonial expansion can bring benefits to the empire, but it cannot override the empire.

Not every colony can be as rich and obedient as Barat.

Some places are rich in resources, but the people are tough, and it costs a lot to maintain colonies.

The empire spent money, but the governors who were sent abroad benefited, and the imperial center was naturally not happy.

The governors shared the interests of the minister of overseas affairs, but had conflicts with local officials.

There were countless conflicts like this.

The empire was too big, like a tree that reached the sky, with various interest networks intertwined.

Even a shrewd and capable minister like Prime Minister William could not reconcile the relations between the parties.

It would be great if the queen could return to the imperial capital.

Although the queen was young, she was an orthodox emperor after all, and her appeal was extraordinary.

Not long after she came to Hansa, the three overseas provinces, which had their own thoughts, united. This was the appeal of the royal family.

Without the queen, many of William's ideas could not be implemented.

Mr. Prime Minister sighed and boarded the ship.

When the king is away, the generals are not subject to orders.

You can't tie the queen back. If he really has such an idea, the angry troops of the three provinces will tear him apart immediately.

After watching all the guests leave, Roland can finally close the door and take stock of his gains.

In the small study, he locked the door and summoned the soul card.

The background color of the main occupation [Inheritor] card turned purple.

Passing the knowledge and abilities of the elves to the strong people of the same tribe can improve the achievements of the inheritors.

The elves have become extinct, and only Sif can accept the inheritance. As Sif's strength and realm continue to grow, Roland is also constantly benefiting.

When Sif is promoted to the seventh level, he can achieve hidden achievements and let all the elf royal family leap to a higher level.

This is a rare special achievement that can make him easily promoted.

His main occupation promotion path is completely tied to Sif.

When Sif is promoted, he can follow.

It's a bit opportunistic, but this is the rule.

When Sif is promoted, will there still be elf royals who have not been upgraded? No.

Roland's secondary occupation knight also got the opportunity to be promoted.

In the fierce battle with the golden tree demon, he risked his life to protect the monarch, allowing the protected object to escape death and directly activate the opportunity to be promoted to a special branch.

Roland did not miss the opportunity.

His secondary occupation also reached the eighth level [Guardian].

The [Guardian] feature gave Roland strong vitality and defense, which made his survivability a qualitative leap.

Only when he is alive can he output, and Roland is very satisfied with this promotion.

In addition, he also obtained a special ability that can only be activated once a day, [Divine Protection].

He can summon the Holy Sanctuary to protect himself and the protected object at the same time.

Unless the Holy Sanctuary is broken, he and the protected object are safe.

This special ability reminded Roland of the gift ring he got when shopping at the Magic Association.

This ring played its due role and protected him from the attack of the tree demon.

Unfortunately, it is a one-time product. Although the ring did not break, the stored magic disappeared.

He was thinking about whether to go to the Magic Association to recharge the ring.

The advantage of the ring is that he does not need to judge the release time, and it can be activated passively.

It can avoid fatal damage twice in combination with [Divine Protection].

What if there is a third time?

Being able to suffer three fatal injuries in a short period of time shows that the gap between the strength and the enemy is too large.

Then we can only restart, what else can we do.

Roland stared at the soul card for a long time and took back all the cards.

He knew that the soul card cultivation system came from the Second Age. It was said that it was a system studied by the King of Gods to help mortals absorb the power of the stars for cultivation.

With the end of the Second Age, the soul card also underwent countless evolutions and finally formed the current system.

It is said that the end point of each series of cards, rank zero, is the true god.

The three goddesses of the Second Age all took the card cultivation route.

They succeeded, but no one succeeded since then.

After all, the attack of the God Punishment Legion is too difficult to resist.

Roland didn't think that far.

Be realistic, let's get past Macbeth and Sophia first.

Just as Roland was thinking about life, there was a knock on the door.

The special knocking technique made a long and short sound.

Roland was a little surprised. Why would Alina come to the door in broad daylight?

When he opened the door, he saw Alina's excited expression.

"Roland, the direction of fate has changed!"

"Don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly."

Roland closed the door, poured a glass of water for Alina, and motioned her to sit down and talk.

Alina couldn't hide her excitement and whispered: "Roland, you asked me to observe the fate of the people around you and then calculate the direction of your fate. Just now, I saw that Sif had a ruddy complexion and looked good, so I re-observed the direction of her fate."

"Her life was supposed to end in her twenties, but now it has changed!"

Roland raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more trembling in his pretended calm voice.

"What are her chances of winning?"

Alina answered honestly, "I don't know."
