An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

Cedric knocked on the table lightly, "It takes time to refine artifacts."

Hearing Cedric's words, the two paladins breathed a sigh of relief. Refining artifacts takes time, especially third-level artifacts. It took Tyr, the God of Justice, 30 years to forge them. This is still... There is a prototype of an artifact.

But as long as Cedric didn't refuse, the purpose of their trip would have been achieved.

The paladins left the city lord's palace with a satisfied mood. Cedric turned around and threw the Eye of Tyr into the shadow projected by Cedric. After a while, the Eye of Tyr was spat out again.

It seems that this is not the action of the god Shenoh, but the overture of the Nordic god Odin. Of course, it is not ruled out that Odin and the god God join forces, but since the back-country boss has re-established the Eye of Tyr, Spit it out, at least it proves that there is no problem with this material.

Cedric put everything away. It would take a lot of effort to refine two artifacts, even if they were just prototypes.

And when alchemy has reached his level, he can already use the right time, place, and people to reduce the difficulty of alchemy and improve the quality of alchemy.

There just happened to be such an opportunity recently. The New Year is coming soon, and it is also a new year for Dawn City. At that time, all the temples in Dawn City will receive divine grace, and at the same time, the energy and spirit of everyone in the entire city will reach its peak, and As the owner of this city, Cedric was prepared to forge the artifact at that time with the help of the right time, place and people.

At the same time, as the New Year approaches, things in Dawn City have become busier and busier.

First of all, in terms of population, the original Cresto City had a floating population of more than , but now if you include the three newly built military towns, the new Dawn City already has a population of more than one million, and the new population is The number is still increasing exponentially.

If the Eight-leaf Master Organization hadn't used all its tower spirits, the entire administrative system of Dawn City would have collapsed under such huge population pressure.

With the help of the tower spirit, it is equivalent to the help of artificial intelligence that transcends the times, so it is possible to maintain the stability of the current administrative system.

The harsh winter and the possible orc invasion next year did not make Dawn City deserted. On the contrary, due to the strong promotions of merchants at the end of the year, the temperature of the entire city rose a lot.

There is no shortage of opportunities in Dawn City, and naturally there is no shortage of gold coins. The mercenaries and merchants of the middle and lower classes, the nobles and powerful extraordinary people of the upper class all came to Dawn City for various reasons. At the same time, these people also contributed to Dawn City. Brought massive resources.

In the next two days, Cedric lived among various piles of documents. He was still the city lord and was not a true god separated from the world. Therefore, he needed to answer the greetings of the monarchs of the Flanaess region and the diplomatic envoys of some powerful countries. I must also receive him in person.

This is a etiquette between countries. Even if Mo Mo is his designated administrator, he cannot complete the matter on his behalf, otherwise the other party will feel offended.

If Dawn City wants to live a prosperous life in the future, it cannot do without the help of the human society in the Flanaess region. Otherwise, if it wants to fight the entire Orc Empire with the power of one city, even if it can win, it will be a miserable victory. This is something Cedric is not willing to do. have witnessed.

In the formal reception room.

Delenn, the third prince of the Arthur Empire, was the first to salute Cedric, "Thank you for creating such a great creation as the Ascension Academy Research Realm, Your Majesty Cedric Diggory Alkin."

Cedric glanced at the people following Delen, including military generals, diplomats, and reincarnators from the Iron Fist Adventure Group. He said, "Thank you for visiting Dawn City on behalf of the Arthur Empire."

After the two sides met, they conducted a formal discussion, which mainly included the Arthur Empire's willingness to send a main battle force of people from the direction of the Altyn Mountains in the war against the orcs in Dawn City. Help Dawn City defend against orc attacks.

The Arthur Empire is the core belief area of ​​the sun god Pelor, and it is also the most powerful human empire in the Flanaess region, so it is not surprising that it is willing to help Dawn City defend against the orcs.

As for the compensation for Arthur's empire's troop dispatch, Mo Mo has already made a plan for Cedric.

As a city lord who also has the status of a saint, Cedric has a major advantage, that is, after the two parties have generally reached an agreement, he does not need to continue to bargain with Delen on some minor details.

The state visit between the two parties ended within an hour, and in the private interview afterwards, Delen expressed his private request, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being presumptuous. In this operation, I hope to serve as Dawn A senior general in the city.”

Cedric put down his tea cup with a vague smile.

Although under the influence of Pelor's Church, the Arthur Empire will come forward to help Dawn City resist the orcs, after all, the Arthur Empire is not Pelor's Theocracy, and this help actually has a lot of room for maneuver.

Conservative nobles generally believe that there is no substantial benefit in helping a distant Dawn City to resist the orcs, and if they really send troops, they may face the risk of defeat, so the help plan they provide is very watery. .

The third prince in front of him united with the general of the young faction in the country, and with the help of the Pelor Church, he overwhelmed the voices of the conservatives, and this led to the strong and direct military assistance from the Arthur Empire to Dawn City. Therefore, on the personal side, Dawn City owes Delen a favor.

Now Delenn made his request and looked at Cedric with some anxiety. After all, letting the heir of another country command his own army was taboo everywhere.

However, Delenn can only place his hope on Cedric now. He wants to achieve military merit, wants to become a hero for humans to resist the orcs, and wants to use this merit to fight for the inheritance of the empire. This is the only way to go.

Because he instigated the empire to send troops this time, the conservatives were naturally very dissatisfied with him. He had no influence whatsoever on the empire's military command over the orcs.

Cedric looked at Delenn for a second or two, "Of course, after all, you are now a citizen of Dawn City."

In this world, multiple national identities are generally recognized. Just like Cedric's previous life in Europe, the king of one country can be a noble of another country.

Of course, for a powerful heir to an empire like Delenn, ordinary countries would never hand over any military command to him. This is no different from seeking death, but for Cedric, this problem does not exist. In addition to being a mortal ruler, he is also a saint walking in the world. As long as Delen does not surpass himself in strength, he will naturally not have other thoughts.
