I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

"This... always feels very similar to Zhao Wang's style of handling things." Princess Changxi thought for a while and said.

"Isn't it because of this that King Zhao can live so comfortably? Although those rotten scholars secretly call him a rude barbarian, who dares to point at King Zhao's nose and yell? Those who were beaten in public at the Great Court last year were bruised and swollen. What about the rotten scholars? Isn’t it just a matter of course? If I hadn’t come forward to dissuade them, it is unknown whether those rotten scholars can get out of bed and walk around now.”

"Hehe... When I think of the expressions of those rotten scholars after the imperial brother fined King Zhao to compensate the medical expenses and nothing happened...hehe..." Princess Changxi couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"So, if we want to fight those hard-headed guys, we can't follow their rules." Tian Zihong narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Like those big nobles, how do they do with their fiefs? I, the emperor, can't even interfere, I can only collect some taxes that are like charity... Humph...

Forget it, those angry words are meaningless.All in all, there are reasons and evidence for what we do. At most, I will have more titles such as "unsatisfactory words" and "extravagant desires".It doesn't matter, the wealth of the royal family is enough for me to live in extravagance for a long time.What's more, we still have some industries in Shuguang City, um, shares, which is a lot of income.Enough for us to do many things. "

"Ruoxi understands."

Tian Zihong nodded slightly, and said, "Also, collect all the books from Dawn City, especially the teaching books related to magic technology. Nangong Xiao wants to choke us at the root. There are some things we can do, but we cannot pass After all, he is the only grandson of King Zhao, and King Zhao is our most important supporter. If there is an irreparable rift because of this, we will lose more than we gain.

In other words, we have to rely on our own efforts, select more students who develop ideas, and cultivate our own magic technology team.

The big wave of the magic industry caused by Nangong Xiao can no longer be contained, so we have to deal with it.

However, this is also a good thing, at least for our royal family.

In just over ten years, we will be able to carry out the reform step by step after the formation of the team. At that time, under the impact of the big wave of the magic industry, those big nobles will definitely be overwhelmed. At that time, our new army can be used as the main force in conventional warfare. The Temple of Worship can contain those strong men of the older generation, and if necessary, you can use your relationship with Nangong Xiao to draw in all of King Zhao's lineage, and then the big things will be settled. "

"Brother Huang, when you decisively let the goods of Aurora City enter the mainland of the empire, did you expect the consequences of the magic industry?"

"I didn't see it so clearly, but I have some clues. Today, under the impact of cheap goods in Dawn City, those traditional workshops are already showing signs of crumbling. Traditional workshops are absolutely no match for the magic industry. For a long time, the traditional Workshops are bound to disappear gradually. There will be a large number of craftsmen who have lost their livelihoods in the major aristocratic territories, and the number of people who live because of those traditional workshops is not small.

Those are the people of the empire. If those big nobles are only blinded by the huge benefits and cannot arrange the large-scale people who will inevitably appear without livelihood, then they will ignore the life and death of the people of the empire and will not complain when the time comes. As the emperor, I have to exercise the power to protect the country and the people. "

"Brother Huang, Ruoxi knows what to do." After Princess Changxi responded, she asked with a more serious expression, "Brother Huang, I heard that King Zhao still wants the Elf Empire to propose a marriage. This matter..."

Tian Zihong bowed his head and thought for a while, and finally said with distress, "If it really happens, a flat wife is indispensable, but I will wrong you."

"Ruoxi doesn't feel wronged, it's just that she is so blatantly married to other countries, sometimes a little..."

Tian Zihong shook his head, "The lack of heirs of the Nangong family is the best excuse, and Zhao Wang is very shrewd, he did not choose to marry the imperial dignitaries, but the elves who have been friends for generations. As for making me taboo. Heh, if King Zhao chooses to be married to King Chu or King Qi, it will be a real headache."

"...Too."

Seeing his sister nodded, Tianzihong said again, "Although I have never had direct contact with Nangong Xiao, all the signs in Shuguang City and Su Yiwei's information show that this person is very sensible and very good at manipulating people's hearts. Xi, don't use your cleverness on him, this kind of person can only be moved with emotion, otherwise whoever uses it will not know."

"Brother Huang..."

"Okay, let's go to rest, it's getting late. By the way, I have time to go to Dawn City. There are some things that you and I can't make a more intuitive judgment without seeing them with our own eyes."

Princess Changxi opened her mouth, and finally said, "...Brother Emperor, Ruoxi will find a chance to go."

"Ah."

Chapter 157 The Sorrow of a Weak Country

According to the common calendar in the mainland, at the beginning of October 3114, King Stantel relied on the new army who became more and more proficient in using magical weapons. After winning several battles, the defense line of the originally towering and accessible capital gradually stabilized.

In this regard, the king of Stentel——Luke Stentel, heaved a sigh of relief, and sent people to increase the purchase of magic weapons, and even thought about buying the manufacturing process of magic weapons from Dawn City, but As expected, it was declined.

Luke Stentel was not upset by this. After all, this magical weapon that can cause military revolution is a hen that can lay golden eggs infinitely. Who would be stupid enough to give it up.

Clever takeover?

Ah...

Luke Stentel said that he hadn't lived enough, and the orcs hadn't been driven out of the country, so he went to provoke the more powerful dragon people?What is that if it’s not courting death?

Luke Stentel is not that unwise, and now he puts all his thoughts on training new troops, securing the defense line, and waiting for reinforcements.

Once the reinforcements from the central human powers that are already on the way arrive, it will be time for a full-scale counterattack against the orcs!

But at this moment, news came that made Luke Stentel and the high-level officials of the kingdom unbelievable.

That is, the reinforcements from countries in the central part of the human race that were supposed to come at the appointment have all been stopped now. Some countries that have good relations with the Kingdom of Stantel have also brought messages, saying that they intend to rectify the army before discussing the issue of support. And some countries with average relations didn't even have an explanation, so they called back all the support troops who were already on the road.

In this regard, Luke Stentel and the nobles in the capital were a little confused.But soon, they received a piece of information, that is, those countries have sent envoy teams to Dawn City overtly and secretly, and it is self-evident what they want to do.

At this moment, Luke Stentel understands that these countries have seen the true military value of magic weapons, knowing that once they master magic weapons, it means they have the ability to reduce the dimensionality of traditional troops.

On this continent, there is no shortage of smart people at the top of any country. After the actual combat data of magic weapons spread, the top leaders of all countries can easily realize the value of magic weapons.

Magic weapons will completely break the original war mode.

Under such circumstances, once the pace of the new war mode is not kept up, the consequences will be disastrous.

In contrast to the two, the survival of the Kingdom of Stantel is simply out of the question.

Just like an abandoned child, the current Kingdom of Stentel can only face the attack of the orcs alone.

Even Luke Stantel had a premonition that those reinforcements from various countries who were already on the front line of the capital, except for a small number of personnel who stayed to observe the changes in the war, the rest would probably be recalled by various countries soon.

Faced with this situation, the great nobles were all worried, but Luke Stentel was different. The magical weapon gave him the confidence to face the orc army alone.

To drive the orcs out of the country, in Luke Stentel's view, it was only a matter of time.

As long as there is enough time for training, all the dozens of existing legions can be equipped with magical weapons and use them familiarly, then he does not shy away from orcs in regular battles.

Now he is even more worried that the Beast Emperor will completely lose control and use high-level combat power on Stentel. At that time, life and death will really be unpredictable.

In particular, the precedent of Eunkel City is there. Although there are many twists and turns, in the end, both parties have a tacit understanding not to be entangled in this matter. Responsibility, if you really want to be serious, it will definitely be Stantel who will suffer.

Because Stantel was simply taken out from the human race, and he couldn't beat the orc empire at all.Under the circumstances, as long as the Orc Empire makes some concessions and guarantees to the major forces on the mainland, the Kingdom of Stantel will be destroyed, or split into several duchies, and the central power of the human race is acceptable.

In essence, the role of the land of the Stentel Kingdom is a strategic buffer zone. As for whether this land is called Stentel, apart from Luke Stentel, for other forces, even some ambitious kingdoms For the great nobles, that really doesn't matter.

Although relying on magical weapons, the defense line of the capital is considered stable, but it is not these dispensable victories that really determine the fate of the Stantel Kingdom.

It is those great empires that can really decide everything.

This is the tragedy of a small country.

This afternoon, the preoccupied Luke Stentel finally waited until the return of the Archbishop Charle Duronda.

Seeing Char Duronda's mental atrophy, Luke Stentel asked a little uneasy, "What's wrong? Could it be that the expulsion of the abyss erosion failed? The Beast Emperor hasn't returned to normal?"

"My lord, it's going well. The Beast Emperor has returned to normal. That is, that group of damn shamans almost made a fool of our high priests. Hmph, this matter is not over." Charl Duronda snorted viciously. .

Dissatisfaction, even hatred, was not concealed, and the usual gentleness and kindness were gone, just like a clown.

Luke Stantel saw all these, nodded calmly on the surface, and said, "The orcs are despicable, and the strong men in the shaman hall are also orcs, so don't worry too much. My lord, it seems that there is nothing wrong with you." Loss, that's fine."

But I disdain it in my heart, and I still complain secretly, it's not your Holy Light Holy See who did it yourself, now the retribution of making enemies on all sides is coming.

"It's really not bad. Although our great leaders are a bit exhausted, they can slowly recover... It's just that I can't swallow this breath. Hmph."

Luke Stentel remained calm, but changed his mind, "Since the expulsion was successful, does the Beast Emperor have any intention of retreating?"

"King, as you said before, the Beast Emperor wants to sit down and realize that he has occupied the territory. The Shaman Palace pretends to be deaf and dumb, and the dragon people and elves, and even the dwarves and goblins keep silent about it. But fortunately, they didn't support the orcs explicitly, they just maintained an attitude of not getting involved, depending on the situation, we have to rely on ourselves if we want to regain the territory."

Luke Stentel sighed knowingly, and then said, "Do you know that the countries in the middle of the country sent reinforcements back?"

"What?! Isn't the reinforcements supposed to be entering the capital soon?" Char Duronda's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Luke Stentel also briefly explained the matter. After hearing this, Charle Duronda changed his face a little, and finally said.

"I didn't expect that kind of magic weapon to cause such a big change... King, please rest assured, the crusaders will arrive soon."

"That's good. But I hope that more high-level combat power will appear in the capital."

"Wang, you know, you can't do this."

"I know, I don't want to take the initiative to open a high-level battlefield." Luke Stentel said flatly, "It's just that the ruins of Eunker City are still there, and I'm worried that those despicable orcs will go crazy again. The presence of more high-level combat forces in the capital is just an insurance policy. Orcs are despicable. Didn't the Great Hierarch have learned before?

Besides, I already have the confidence to win the regular battle. As long as the high-level combat power does not enter the battlefield, I am sure to drive the orcs out within half a year.But the people in the occupied land need the protection of the Holy Light the most, and Stantel needs the shining of the Holy Light. "

After hesitating for a while, Charl Duronda said, "Is that so...I will truthfully report to the Grand Pope. If I just sit in the royal capital, the Holy See will not refuse."

"Go, my high priest, I hope you can bring me good news." Luke Stentel secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as long as the Holy See of the Holy Light continues to invest, the possibility of Stentel being abandoned will become less and less. Even smaller, after all, the influence of the Holy See of Holy Light in the countries in the middle of the human race is still very huge.

"King, please wait for the good news."

"Wait a minute." Charle Duronda was about to leave, but was stopped by Luke Stentel.

"king?"

"Invoke the influence of the Holy See in the human kingdom, whether it is a veiled warning or a request, tell the owner of Dawn City not to sell magical weapons to orcs. Don't forget, the owner of Dawn City is not a pure-blooded human race."

"King, I see."

......

In the administrative building of Dawn City, in Nangong Xiao's office, half lying on the sofa in the reception area, Nangong Xiao raised the document in his hand and said, "Asuna, give me the documents of the royal family members of the Kenyan Empire. material."

Not long after, Nangong Xiao brought over the information that Nangong Xiao wanted, but the person who sent it was not Asuna, but Sayuri, "Nangong Jun, here are the information you want."

Nangong Xiao was stunned, but turned over and sat up, glanced at the office, but did not see Asuna and Dongye, and looked suspiciously at Sayuri, who was dressed in a secretary's professional attire.

Sayuri smiled lightly and said, "Asuna went out with Dongye at noon, and I happened to be resting today, so Asuna asked me to come over to replace her and Dongye, and act as Nangong-kun's secretary for the time being."

Nangong Xiao nodded and asked, "Where did they go?"

Sayuri thought for a while, and said, "It seems that a rare boss suddenly appeared outside the Warcraft Mountains, and Asuna took Dongye to check the situation."

This kind of thing requires them to go there in person?

Nangong Xiao didn't ask this question, but said, "You have been traveling for a while, and you are out of the novice period. Are you still used to the life here?"

"Well, it's very good here. Except for some homesickness, everything else is very good, especially everyone's care. I really can't repay the many cares of Mr. Nangong and the president."

"Don't worry, since you are officially accepted as a member of the Holy Black Cat Knights, you are one of us. Helping each other is a matter of course." Nangong Xiao said so.

Sayuri smiled, but didn't answer.

It can be said so, but how could she not be grateful.

She is not Mengxin who crossed over on the first day, and she is quite clear about the lives of other qualified newcomers of the same period in Dawn City.Although Dawn City, as a safe zone, gives newcomers an extra place where they can rest in peace, but that’s all. The living expenses in Dawn City, the fear of hunting in the wild, and those who are irresponsible, or have no mercy The indifference of the veterans in the heart, let those newcomers of the same period, after getting out of the novice period, truly experience the hardships of going alone in a strange world.

In contrast, she has the care of Nangong Xiao and others, and she has received unimaginable help from the newcomers of the same period, whether it is in terms of life or security during hunting.

If those newcomers knew about her current situation, they would definitely be jealous to death.

However, Sayuri was somewhat puzzled and worried.She is not an ignorant teenage girl. She knows that no matter which world she is in, there is no love without a reason in the world.

She didn't know what she had that could make the members of the Holy Black Cat Knights look at her differently.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's "hometown" feelings?

Sayuri is not so naive, especially after seeing how fierce Kasumigaoka Shiyu offended many times because of a newcomer with a sperm on his brain, and finally directly killed him outside Dawn City, Sayuri understood that this young girl , is more sophisticated and vicious than her in many ways.

There may be feelings of 'citizenship', but how could this kind of thing affect a decisive person?

Because of this, Sayuri knew very well that the members of the Holy Black Cat Knights must have some unknown purpose for taking care of her newcomer in every possible way.It's just that Sayuri knows better that she is in a passive position, and being weak is the original sin. For now, she can only go along with the trend.

Chapter 158 Arrangement

When Nangong Xiao quickly flipped through the information on the members of the royal family of the Kenyan Empire, Sayuri remained silent, but made tea carefully, acting like a qualified secretary.

After the tea was served, Sayuri waited quietly aside.

Nangong Xiao looked at it for a while, but shook his head and said, "The main young minister is strong, basically relying on an old minister from the four dynasties to support him, showing signs of the twilight of the empire, no wonder the performance of the Kenyan Empire has been so low-key in the past ten years, It turned out to be internal instability. Sayuri, please take a look."

"Eh?"

While Sayuri was stunned, she took the document, but she didn't understand why she was asked to read it.

"Sit down, when there are no outsiders, there is no need to pay too much attention to those boring etiquette."

Listening to Nangong Xiao's words, Sayuri thought for a while, and then carefully sat down on the sofa beside her. She also had a rough understanding of this big boy's personality, and she really didn't care about these things.

In particular, the way of getting along with the Holy Black Cat Knights is quite casual. If she is too cautious, it will be difficult to integrate into this group.

At this time, Nangong Xiao held up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Aside from being qualified, is there anything else you want to do? After all, you can't go hunting all day long. I always think that combining work and rest is the best way." Good."

Suddenly being asked such a question, Sayuri was taken aback for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "If it's what I want to do, I really don't...Sorry, Nangong-jun, there is really no way to go back?"

Nangong Xiao said, "I know you miss your family, but unfortunately, no. At least you can be sure that there is no way to go back for the time being."

"That's it..." Sayuri smiled bitterly. Although she had guessed this for a long time, she couldn't help feeling disappointed after she got the exact answer.

Nangong Xiao said again, "Since I have nothing to do for the time being, let's act as my secretary with Asuna and the others. After all, sorting out those thousands of things is a waste of time and energy. It's a kind of patience, but Fuyuba is a guy who can't sit still, so it's not enough to make up for it, you can share Asuna's workload."

"That's...not a problem." Sayuri nodded after a pause, and also felt that this way was better, at least it would help her a little bit, and make her feel less hesitant.

"Well, look at those documents, I know you should be better at this than Asuna and the others, and you should be able to get started soon."

Sayuri blinked, hesitated, and asked, "I found that Nangong-kun really knows me very well, but I learned from Shiyu that we are not from the same world. I wonder if Nangong-kun can tell me. reason?"

"...ask Shi Yu, she thinks it's appropriate to tell you, she will say it, after all, it's not a big deal, but I hope you don't pay too much attention to it, because everything is different."

"Okay..." Sayuri opened her mouth, but she didn't say much in the end, she looked down at the documents.
