Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 43 The Breath of Frost

In January 622, the battle known in history as the "Hurley Civil War" came to an end.

Since King Gaius I (Murphy) killed the head of the Hurley family in the imperial meeting, until the Hurley family announced their unconditional surrender, only five months of war have been experienced, and the country has recovered. Calm.

In this campaign, the whole army of the Kingdom's First Army and the reinforcements of the Duke of Jihua in the West became the main force of the king's army. Under the king's strategy, Hurley rushed back to the north.After the legendary "Battle of the Appearance of the Dragon", the Hurley family retreated steadily and was finally forced to surrender. While offering the iron treasury, they also unconditionally accepted all the conditions of the king.

The king deprived the Hurley family of their noble titles and titles, but kept their lives. He sentenced all family members to "treason" and ordered them to be imprisoned in the royal city for life.

After this battle, Gaius I, who had no sense of existence in the past, directly became the actual power controller of the kingdom due to the financial power of the Hurley family and the military support of the Eagle family, pushing his kingship to its peak. .

Moreover, the appearance of the giant dragon, and the legendary pre-war speech made his personal reputation the same for a while.

The voice of worshiping the king began to spread among the people, and the people spontaneously called Gaius I the "King of Glory".

This nickname was born, on the one hand, because he quelled the chaos so quickly, and the follow-up handling was perfect enough that the country was not disturbed by the civil strife, which made the citizens feel honored; Because his amazing beauty is also extremely topical, it is said that everyone who sees him claims to have seen "light".

After the war, of course came the stage of dividing the spoils.

Domestically speaking, the Eagles are the strongest supporters of the king, so of course they need to discuss it carefully; the Lions didn't participate in the whole process, and Murphy plans to give them a good beating in the future.

For foreign countries, in addition to the envoys sent by two countries to understand the situation and congratulate, of course there is also the Duke of Thistle who sent troops to aid.

The Duke of Thistle's real name is Constantine Goodyear, but he is actually very young, at the age of 28, he can be said to be a young hero.The reason why Murphy chose him to contact at the beginning was because he had actual military power in his hands, and because he was bold enough.

This man is aggressive, ambitious, and extremely noble. He is not only the nephew of the current monarch of the Western Kingdom, but also has a blood relationship with the monarch of the Eastern Kingdom.

——This matter may sound a bit bizarre, but the current monarch of the Western Kingdom is actually "imported" from the Eastern Kingdom, so the nobles on both sides are always closely related.

This also gave birth to the "Nobility Law", which is equivalent to one of the "International Conventions" in this world: Unless there is an accident on the battlefield, no nobles must be killed, and they must be raised with good food and drink, waiting for the enemy Redeem him back, maybe lead the army to beat himself in the next war...

Of course, if the entire country or family is destroyed and no one can redeem it, then the captive will lose his noble status.

Closer to home, Duke Thistle played a role in this war, but he didn't come for charity.

"According to the agreement, I have a share of the gold mine." Constantine smiled, "I believe His Majesty came here today to discuss this matter."

Murphy sat opposite him and asked him to taste Floda's specialty black tea.

Constantine has hereditary red hair and brown eyes, and freckles from an early illness, but that doesn't detract from his handsomeness.His nose bridge is high, his eye sockets are deep-set, his lips are full, and the corners of his mouth are always slightly upturned. His mental outlook is very confident and calm.

Murphy likes beautiful things, and said to him gently: "Of course. However, I hope to pay you in a special way."

Constantine: "Oh?"

"Although I don't care much about people's opinions, I still have to cover up. People can't think that I have sold the domestic gold mines to opponents in other countries." Murphy smiled, "So I hope more This reward is carried out in the form of a 'transaction'."

For tea, he wears a crystal half-mask today.

Konstantin was in an inappropriate moment of ecstasy as he bowed his head and blew gently.

Murphy took a sip of black tea and continued, "Of course I won't embarrass you. I will introduce a bill in the near future. In order to develop friendly trade relations with Valerius (Western Country), in the future, Valerius will hold The aristocrats with the 'gold purchase certificate' can directly trade gold with us, the price... the official agreement, each gram of gold is worth 260 watts. What do you think?"

The current market price is actually about 300 watts per gram of gold.

The Duke of Jihua thought in his heart: If such a policy is really introduced, then this so-called "certificate of gold purchase" is basically equivalent to a part of the mining right of the gold mine... Holding the certificate is equivalent to obtaining a steady stream of gold mines. Economic source, this is definitely huge profits!

"Then how do I obtain this certificate?" Constantine asked, licking his lips.

Murphy said: "Of course it's up to the Thistle family to decide. Being friendly with the Thistle family means being friendly with me and being friendly with Floda. Isn't that the case?"

Constantine smiled, his eyes seemed to be ignited with flames, he fixed his eyes on Murphy, and said, "I like this statement. I sincerely hope that we can meet again, His Majesty the King of Floda."

The next day, Duke Thistle set off for home.

Before leaving, they formally signed the "Gold Purchase Agreement", making Murphy's promise come into effect.At the same time, the agreement also stated the various terms of buying gold, and the total amount of gold that Floda used to export every year.

According to Murphy: "The gold mine has just resumed production, and we may not have a large amount of exports in a short time. However, you can rest assured that in the third year, the mine will definitely return to its original state." And write this article together went in.

He personally sent Lord Thistle out of the city.

The young and ambitious Constantine was riding on a horse, and when he turned around and saw Murphy standing on the city wall to see him off, he was in high spirits.He waved his horsewhip and said, "Wait for me!"

Murphy smiled and waved to him.

After the war is over, there are many things to do.

Murphy was still on his way back to the palace, so he was very busy.

He held meetings with his ministers successively to deal with the "inheritance" of the Hurley family, update the old bills, comfort the fallen soldiers, resettle the retired soldiers, fulfill the wartime promises, develop the newly unsealed gold mines, contact and appease Nobles from all over the world, the reorganization of the Imperial Council...there are too many things.

Especially when noble families from all over the world sent envoys to express their submission to the king again.Most of the people who came were noble children, which meant that the aristocrats had recognized the king's dominance and asked the heirs of the family to recognize them in advance.

To be honest, with Murphy's current face and bloodline, just looking at it is enough to pull up a political team with 100 points of loyalty.

On the third day, the loyal dog knight also woke up.

Exactly as what Murphy thought, the first thing he did when he woke up was to bow his head and confess his guilt, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I failed to protect the supplies as you entrusted me."

Murphy touched his golden hair and felt that it felt good.

And he couldn't be angry with the good-looking man at all, so he said kindly: "It's okay, if you fail this time, there will be another chance. It doesn't matter how many times, as long as you come back safely... "

The loyal dog was so moved that he looked at Murphy with tears in his eyes.

Murphy touched his paw again, and happily decided not to tell him the truth: the first shipment he escorted was originally arranged for Hurley's men to rob it!

Time flies so fast, ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Enoch came last time, he brought a math problem, which was not too difficult in terms of difficulty.Murphy knew at a glance that it was a pure algebra problem, so he solved it during dinner that night.

Ten days passed, Yinlong came to check the answer.

This time, he didn't turn into a dragon, but flew over with great fanfare, and he was probably about to be used by Murphy to vomit.

Retaining his human form, he was stopped before the king's guard of honor.Fortunately, Murphy had already told the guards. The guards recognized him as the legendary "silver-haired man" and went to report to Murphy in surprise.

Not long after, Murphy found a quiet place and cleared the scene again.

There were no other humans present, so Murphy personally brought tea and snacks, as well as two cubes of sugar, and said, "Have you eaten yet? What snacks do you like?"

Enoch said lightly, "What about your question?"

Tsk tsk, what an incomprehensible dragon.

Murphy was used to this man's cold face, so he passed a piece of paper in front of him, and made the black tea by himself.

Seeing the answer he gave, Enoch fell into deep thought.After a while, he said: "You have extended the integral calculus invented by Sir Isaac and derived a new formula - but why is it called 'Taylor series'?"

"Simple, because the man who invented him was named Brooke Taylor," Murphy said.

Enoch raised his head, staring at Murphy with lead gray eyes, and said, "I've never heard of such a mathematician among humans."

Murphy smiled and said, "This is human society and historical knowledge, aren't you not interested?"

Enoch fell silent, his pupils shrank slightly.

Murphy smiled and said: "Want to know? If you want to know, you can give me a scale. The one that has faded before is fine. I won't pick it. If you agree, I can not only give you knowledge about Taylor series, but also let me know." You live in my palace, you can discuss with me anytime~"

Enoch said, "You seem to be very interested in dragon scales."

"No, no, I'm very interested in you." Murphy said, crossing his hands on the table, resting his chin on the back of his hands, smiling innocently, "After all, you are so beautiful."
