"Gold...clown."

The golden clown looked at the creator in front of it, and suddenly felt joyful, and the dim pupils of the eyes lit up red, and this title deeply penetrated into the depths of his consciousness.

Chapter 31 Legacy

On the night when the golden clown was created, Ivan continued to study all aspects of it until dawn.

As a creation given life by Ivan, the loyalty of the golden clown is unquestionable, and he almost executes his orders as a mission, even if he destroys himself, he will follow immediately.Its energy circuit also inherits its advantages, and it can convert the light energy of nature into its own energy reserve, so it has a nearly infinite lifespan.

The basic material that makes up the golden clown's body was upgraded to form a peculiar metal material under the influence of light and dark forces.It looks like gold on the outside, but it is actually stronger than advanced alloys, with strong ductility and corrosion resistance.

And as long as Ivan increases the quality of the injected energy, the golden clown will also be strengthened accordingly. This growth is determined by the basic power of the two scriptures.Ivan's two scriptures are at the fourth level, and the energy quality of the golden clown is also at the fourth level in theory, but due to the disadvantages of physical performance and soul power, its overall ability is only equivalent to a third-level mechanic.

If Ivan's power can be upgraded to the fifth level in the future, the nature of the energy will also increase after the latter receives the power of light and darkness he bestowed, but it is impossible to truly reach the strength of the creator.

Generally speaking, this semi-mechanical life is quite perfect, it can be said that it has a part of the characteristics of Shenyuan metal.Although it is a mechanical body on the surface, the inner life system is self-contained, and it has self-awareness and learning ability. It can be said that it is a half-mechanical existence.

Ivan is very satisfied with such a subordinate, and intends to keep it by his side, as the leader of mechanical life, to help manage the future mechanical empire.

That's right, it's the Machine Empire!

With the help of the economic benefits brought by the development of the Menes Empire, he can rely on the resources of Hyperion to create a mechanical army that is completely loyal to him.With such a legion, Menis' military strength will also be greatly enhanced, and the defense work can be completely handed over to the mechanical legion that does not need military pay and pensions.When human technology flourishes, the number and intensity of mechanical life will increase, eventually becoming a dual empire where humans and mechanical life complement each other and coexist perfectly.

The number of mechanical legions does not need to be too large, as long as there are two thousand 'golden clowns', it is enough to flatten the entire Heberen star.

"By the way, golden clown, since you have inherited and absorbed the power of darkness I bestowed upon you...can you feel this power?" Ivan stretched out his left hand, clasped the palm upwards with five fingers, and released a trace of undigested nightmare breath .

"It is the foundational force that gives me spirituality, its nature has changed, but its origin is exactly the same. This force is to me a torch in the night, even if it is far away, as long as it appears, I can catch it immediately. .” The golden clown replied respectfully.

"That's good!"

Ivan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but patted its bald head: "In the future, the complete suppression of the evil disaster will definitely be due to your contributions!"

"Evil disaster? Us?" The golden clown tilted his head in confusion.

"The so-called demon disaster is the war waged by many evil creatures against the Menes Empire. In a word, it is my mortal enemy and your mortal enemy!" Yiwen looked at it kindly, and explained with great patience:

"In the face of such a large-scale enemy, of course many assistants like you are needed to assist in the battle, so I will create a lot of mechanical life. They are like brothers to you, and as the eldest son, you have the right to command them s right."

"I understand. I will do my best to destroy any existence that is your enemy." The golden clown nodded vigorously, his eyes burst into scarlet light.

"I look forward to your performance." Ivan cast an encouraging look, and at the same time, he was also thinking about raw materials.

The most difficult part for him to create a mechanical life form like the golden clown is the parts, after all, all the reserve materials have been consumed tonight.If you want to manufacture on a large scale, it is not practical to spend money to buy expensive finished products from the Federation. If you think about it carefully, you can only develop it yourself from scratch.If this is the case, it will undoubtedly consume a lot of energy. The government affairs of the Menesian Empire need a shrewd and capable agent to assist.

Naturally, this assistant is most suitable for Ellome.

Doing so will undoubtedly bring risks. Don't look at how honestly she is being dealt with by him now, once she breaks free from the shackles, she will inevitably stir up trouble.Even if she has no dissatisfaction, once she manages state affairs again, such a political signal will undoubtedly cause shocks in the government and the opposition.At that time, the political situation in the empire will definitely stabilize, and there will inevitably be undercurrents again. The conservative forces may collude with each other to drag her into the water forcibly-then openly repair the plank road and secretly hide the old warehouse, and when the time comes, they will rebel on a large scale.

Therefore, she cannot be allowed to take charge of the empire for the time being, at best she can only loosen the chain.

"It seems that I need to create a clone for myself." Ivan rubbed his chin with one hand and said to himself.

Ekhtaton City, Hall of King Quan.

When the ministers gathered at the meeting table again, they were surprised to find that there was an extra golden throne with a smaller size on the left side of the Sun Throne.After seeing this scene, the young nobles hadn't seen the situation clearly yet, but the veteran ministers who had experienced the era of King Akhenaten became excited.

Because before Ellerome monopolized the power, the Sun Kings of all dynasties were governed by two kings, and the smaller throne was prepared for the weaker side.Whoever sits on the weak side's seat means that his or her words are useless, and appearing in the Hall of King Quan is just a formality.

After King Psamtik committed suicide, Sun King Elulome and Sun King Ivan succeeded to the throne. The latter was just a puppet used to take the blame at that time, so he was directly emptied and never even met his officials.After a while, even the vice-seat was removed, and since then, Ellome has been completely domineering.

What happened next was standard self-inflicted.

After the incident known as the "Rainy Night Palace Change" in history, Elulome was ousted by King Yiwen with overwhelming force and was kept under house arrest in the palace.Since she removed the vice seat and was kicked out again, no one would propose to restore the vice seat for her.

But now that King Yiwen has suddenly resumed the vice seat, does it mean that the husband and wife have reconciled and intend to restore the co-ruling of two kings since ancient times! ?

Things are very possible!

After all, it was just a vice seat, and the queen's return was just a ceremony, and she had no chance to take power at all. It could only be said that it was a means for King Yiwen to show his generosity and kindness.

So, under the expectant eyes of the officials, the guard of honor of the Sun King passed through the mirror gallery, faced the officials, and stood side by side in front of the crosswalk between the meeting table and the sun ladder.After the guard of honor, two His Majesties wearing scorpion-tailed majesties and eagle-winged robes climbed up the steps one after the other, and sat on two Sun Thrones.

Although it sounds a bit disrespectful, at this moment, most of the people on the board are looking at the vice-chairman—silver-white hair, ice-cold silver-gray eyes, and an appearance more beautiful than poetry, this is beauty. The former Queen of Ness, the Sun King Ellome.

"This is my queen. Everyone here must know each other, so I won't introduce it." Ivan's calm voice made all the officials come back to their senses, and they focused their attention on him:

"According to the usual practice, my wife will serve as an auditor and accompany me here to handle government affairs."

What he said made the officials calm down, and it really restored the tradition since ancient times. The boring government affairs also seemed to become easier because of her.

"Distribute the silver dollars." Ivan ordered to the waiter beside him.

"Obey." The latter respectfully accepted the order, and then waved to the subordinates guarding the corridor door.

Soon, rows of court attendants holding wooden boxes walked quickly into the Palace of King Quan, and then opened the lid of the boxes, revealing exquisite silver coins, which were distributed in order of seats.

"This is a new coin minted by the Royal Bank. A new German coin is exchanged for an old German coin of the same weight. Please check if it is suitable? If so, the empire will only issue new coins in the future to replace the old German coins. Ben." Ivan held a new coin with a beautiful design in his hand, and said to the meeting table.

"His Majesty!"

Kaba, the financial officer on the seat of the Buzhen Courtyard, stood up, weighed the new coins in his hands, and asked solemnly:

"This new coin doesn't seem to be made of pure silver, does it? According to the price of silver, one old Deben can be exchanged for at least five such coins... Is the Royal Bank suspected of plundering private wealth!?"

After these words were uttered, the entire Palace of King Quan became quiet for an instant, even the slight sound of breathing stopped temporarily, and the whole space suddenly fell into a vortex of gloating.

Since the victory in the Demon Hunting War, the authority of King Yiwen has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the reformed methods of thunder are even more chilling.

Now there is actually a stunned young man standing up and confronting the god king, he is simply impatient, waiting to be dismissed from office!At this moment, everyone was waiting to see Ka Ba's good show, expecting that King Yi would say the familiar sentence—someone, drag him down!

However, a strange situation happened. King Yiwen was not angry, but patiently explained while holding the silver coin:

"What do you think money is? Where does the value of silver come from? That's because people believe that silver has such a value. In other words, as long as people believe in it, even a piece of paper can be used as silver."

"But I don't think the new German version has the value of replacing the old German version!" Kabbah's face turned blue nervously, but he still argued hard.

"Most people just believe it."

Ivan clenched the money in his hand, pinched it in his palm, and looked around calmly:

"When most of this year's new species have been distributed, they can be harvested every three months. The overall output can be said to have increased by a hundredfold. The output of food and vegetables has increased by a hundredfold, but the gold and silver produced every year in the empire will not happen. Changes, this is the standard money shortage. When the number of coins circulating in the market decreases and people don’t have enough coins, it will lead to a decline in purchasing power and affect prices to drop.”

"There is a lot of food, we should let it fall... let it fall." Kabbah's tone was not so confident at this time.

"You're right, but a normal fall in prices is to bring prices back to normal levels. However, a drop in prices caused by a money shortage will cause people to panic, make prices fall into a vicious circle, and curb people's enthusiasm for production. Even if there is a famine, do you want to see such a thing happen in the empire!?"
