Chapter 204 The King's Wishful Thinking

"Aren't you going?" Amber asked in surprise, "You are the king, why don't you go? Didn't Alexander all go?"

Is that Alexander a normal king?Didn't you notice that none of the other kings went?

Of course Cecil would not say this, but he just smiled and said, "I don't know magic and I don't know how to fight. What are you doing? Adding trouble? Besides, I want to live for a few more years. I finally crossed over. no?"

Amber patted Cecil's shoulder with deep empathy: "That's right, brother, but I feel that I finally have a second life, so of course I can't be as fearful as before. I haven't seen this kind of cold weapon battle yet, of course I have to see it!"

"Aren't your ministers and servants stopping you?" Cecil asked curiously.

"I can't stop it, let me tell you, that old man is really old and not dead because he is a demon, he has been thinking about how to consolidate the internal affairs all day long, this Gretel has several big families, no matter financial resources, talents, or whatever, they are all good, but the old man There is no way to not die, and I don’t know how he did it, his blood has a special effect on the children of these families, even if he yells at them, these people will listen even if they don’t want to.” Seeing Cecil’s confused face Forced, Amber said mysteriously, "Have you ever seen a kind of sheep? It is that it will involuntarily stiffen its body when it is stimulated. slaughter."

Cecil couldn't help but sigh: "Is this okay? Those families don't resist?"

"How to resist?" Amber patted his chest, "It's fused in the blood, and I can't resist. Let me tell you, these families have already used this method to test whether they are their own sons. Do you think it's funny? Since There is no way to resist, it is better to lie down and enjoy, those families have no choice but to follow this old immortal from generation to generation, anyway, the presence of old immortal can guarantee the prosperity and wealth of their family, and they are afraid that old immortal will replace them!"

Cecil smiled cooperatively: "What exactly is this effect? ​​Magic?"

"I don't know!" Amber shrugged his shoulders. "Anyway, I think it's quite miraculous. The old man has done this to many people. Many of the attendants around me are from generation to generation. It's probably because of this bloodline effect. Anyway, Gretel It feels like an airtight cocoon to me, and no one can escape."

Cecil shuddered at this description, so it seemed that the old monster had indeed made perfect preparations, and no one in Gretel could resist him. However, he never expected that it was himself who had the problem in the end What a great irony.

Cecil recalled Amber's words just now: "Do you know magic?"

"Yes." Amber came to his senses, gestured with his fingers for a long time, with strange words in his mouth, and after a while, a small fireball appeared in his palm, "Look, I think it's amazing too. "

"How does magic feel?" Cecil asked enviously.

"Well, how should I put it, anyway, it feels strange, like scratching shit." Amber frowned.

Cecil: "..."

"You won't, bro?"

"No, but my king cavalry is very powerful in magic."

"I envy you, brother, it's really uncomfortable to grab magic power, but magic is really easy to use."

Cecil laughed: "Haven't you ever thought of using magic to make some inventions?"

"I've thought about it!" Amber seemed to have found a confidant, "Oh, it's good to be on my own. I can't find anyone to say these things. Anyway, I also try to use magic to create some modern tools, such as a hair dryer. I want to make one , it turns out that there is no electricity, and there is a "breeze" in magic. Using "breeze" directly is not only comfortable but also has no noise. Think magic is much more convenient than modern tools? Anyway, except for no internet, I live more comfortably than the earth There are too many, it would be great if there is a network, I will study how to establish a network through magic in the future."

"Haven't you thought about building an industrial society?"

Amber waved her hand: "Hey, what are you doing so hard for? I asked, I am a human body, and I won't be old and immortal. I will die in a hundred years at most, no matter how terrible the flood is, anyway Just eat, drink, and be merry while I'm alive, and a whole country will bring disaster to me!"

Cecil had to admit that Amber's idea was very representative, not to mention anything else, what's so bad about directly enjoying the food and drinking hot food with the vested interest class of magic?On the other hand, with the title of king, he still has to go to the streets to dig out the sewers in the rainy season. He has not slept on a soft mattress, let alone various entertainment activities. Didn't he become a "no-demon class" after crossing over? Does he still have the courage and perseverance to hold up the banner of industry and unswervingly promote social change?

I don’t know, I really don’t know. If someone asked me about it, he would definitely say “surely”, but when he asked himself, he would only say “I don’t know”.

"Your Majesty." Langdon knocked on the open door and said, "The preparations for departure are complete."

Cecil's eyes immediately softened when he saw Langdon. Such a big "magic cat" was suffering by his side, what else could he not be satisfied with?If it doesn't work, Langdon can return to his original form and masturbate as much as he wants, and there are "fluffy eggs" to touch, what a joy!

Amber was still a little unwilling: "Brother, you really don't want to go?"

"No." Cecil shook his head, "Didn't I be sick a while ago? I just got better and I have to take care of myself." After speaking, he pretended to cough twice.

"That's fine, let's go." Amber cheered up, "Don't worry, we are our own people, and we will definitely take advantage of you on the battlefield."

Cecil had to be "moved" by the brother's optimism, and casually said a few nonsense that he must cooperate more in the future.

While walking, Amber suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Brother, the taste is quite strong."

"Huh?" Cecil asked inexplicably, "What flavor?"

"You king riders are more muscular than a man, not to mention your looks. You can hang yourself like this. It's hard for you."

Amber was about to shed tears of sympathy, and Cecil couldn't laugh or cry: "Isn't he handsome?"

"Handsome is handsome, but he's too manly!" Amber shook her little finger, "How can a man be so hard on a man?"

"Yeah, I'm also in a dilemma." Cecil said casually, a little curiously, "Do you think they all look like men? There is one, who is very tall, isn't it masculine and feminine?"

"Oh, that, I saw it." Amber nodded, "It does look a bit girly, but it's too fucking tall! I only reached my waist in front of him, it's scary! This guy must be two meters long, right? "

"Almost." Cecil smiled.

Amber is still about 16 years old now, and her height only reaches under Cecil's nose. She probably won't grow much taller in the future. She is the normal figure of an ordinary human in this world, and Cecil is an outlier.

The attendants and ministers of course tried their best to prevent Amber from coming to the battlefield in person. However, as he said, after a roar, these ministers stopped on the spot, motionless like wooden sculptures. Cecil could still see some people's fingers trembling, His expression twitched, but he couldn't move.

In the end, Amber triumphantly led the [-] standing troops who came through the temporary magic gate——Great’s background is indeed profound, and it is already magical to gather [-] standing troops in a few days, after all, it is not easy to transfer personnel here , not to mention supporting professional soldiers - this kind of emergency call perfectly reflects how powerful Gretel, a magical country with hundreds of years of experience, is.

"Can we afford it?" Cecil asked Russell secretly.

"I can't afford it." Russell said calmly and then hesitated, "However, Jory reported that the soldiers trained by your method are not bad. I think we can always keep a group of small-scale, high-quality soldiers in case of emergencies. Giving them good equipment and maximum support and freedom beyond what the average army needs should pay off very well.”

Cecil secretly gave Russell a thumbs up in his heart. In any case, the Gay Knights are still ahead of the local world in the field of thought, and they are invincible except for the Dragon Clan. The idea of ​​this special forces is quite feasible.

Langdon was riding on a Roman beast, which was sponsored by the Highgarden elves. The horns on his forehead were particularly large, and his body was stout, resembling the king of Roman beasts. This Roman beast even made an attacking posture, which is indeed extraordinary courage.

"I'm leaving, you should settle down at home." Langdon controlled the rein of the Roman beast and said softly, "Contact the parchment if you need anything."

"Got it." If it wasn't for Amber watching, Cecil would have liked to have an immediate kiss, but in order to create a bitter atmosphere, he held back, "Be careful outside."

"clear."

Regarding whether Cecil should go to the front line, Langdon directly said "absolutely impossible". After the last accreditation accident, he almost had a psychological shadow about Cecil's safety, not to mention the magic now. If it is invalid, once something happens or even gets sick, Cecil will be directly hanged.

Under such circumstances, Cecil didn't dare to act like a monster. He didn't dare to blow the wind, eat ice and stay up late in hot weather. He was really afraid that someone would accidentally get sick. He knew very well that only by paying attention to health can he and Langdon last forever. Dysentery could kill him, not to mention the hurdle of lifespan. After all the work, he couldn't do it until he had less than a few days with Langdon!

The army set out, and Cecil, like Wangfushi, didn't return to the city until the army disappeared on the horizon. Seeing the concrete floor quickly spread outside the city gate, he regained his spirits and shouted: "By the way, build an urn here. It needs to be bigger, it can accommodate at least 1 people, I want to make a market!"

Yuecheng itself is also a center of politics, culture and science and technology. Tongcheng is working hard towards an industrial city. Ebo gradually realizes the function of a transportation hub. Hotels appear one after another. The roads are getting wider and wider. Various entertainment and dining complexes Many people began to buy a second house in Ebo, and it was very cost-effective to collect rent or wait for the price increase.

As for the problem of land centralization, Cecil solved it in one sleep: due to the king's delay in showing up, the qualification certification of the king's cavalry failed—"Failure ass, my cat is a super legend", Cecil yelled like this— ——The Middle Kingdom was generally considered to be dying soon. After the robber mages began to destroy the highway and harass the city, the wealthy foreign businessmen who had annexed the Ebo land sold their cabbage at a big price, and the price was getting lower and lower every day. According to Cecil's instructions, Russell used the national treasury to buy them all and nationalized them.

After waking up, Cecil laughed so hard when he heard the news. He thought that these speculators might be making rumors to scare others into selling land at a low price and then merge it. Unexpectedly, they sold it like this, and some people even lost money. Yes, it is simply incomprehensible.

It was Russell who woke him up with one sentence: "If the Middle Kingdom is gone, the contract they took is nothing."

Cecil thought so too. Unlike on Earth, where the political geography is relatively stable, except for a few areas, a world war cannot be fought for a while. Even if there is a war, it is relatively rare for a country to disappear directly. Unlike here, it doesn't matter if this civilization is extinct today, and that country is over tomorrow. He still has the title of "Destroyer of Civilization" on his head, and he deeply feels that this title is becoming more and more real. ...

If the Middle Kingdom "closed down", the successor would definitely not recognize the businessman's contract with the Middle Kingdom, so it would be better to lose all money, and of course sell the goods directly.

"You see, it's actually good to have a good night's sleep." At that time, Cecil praised Langdon in this way, in exchange for a stare from the big cat.

Cecil quickly added many conditions to the lease of agricultural land, such as the leaser must be a permanent citizen of the Middle Kingdom, private subletting is not allowed, non-agricultural use is not allowed, there are regulations on where the fields can only be planted, and every year How much output must be achieved, etc., and at the same time further reduce the agricultural tax. He only has so many years of experience in this area, so let's hold his breath by touching the river bed.

When Moon City was busy launching the "Hundred Days of Hard Work" campaign, the two armies from the East and the Western Allied Forces joined forces in Crandall, a city near St. Benzie. Langdon was surprised to find that when he met Alexander Po was much "normal", that is, he didn't say much and was not overly lively, but the minister came forward after a normal greeting, which fit the appearance of a young king.

In the evening, Langdon told Cecil about this matter through the parchment, and he quickly got a reply: [He just does what he wants and is not mentally retarded. 】

Langdon couldn't help but laugh looking at the familiar handwriting on the parchment. It was the language of the extinct civilization he belonged to. There were probably no more than 100 users in the world. When he saw these words again from his loved one, he always Time was filled with emotion, staring at the text in a daze.

【Did you ask No. [-] Amber how he could beat that old monster? ] Cecil first sent the message. He actually has a contact tool, but out of respect for Langdon, he never contacted No. [-] privately.

[Because the old monster has been dealing with the souls of children, not the souls of adults. 】Langdon replied, 【Number [-] is just speculating that the strength of the soul will not increase with the passage of time. It can be seen from the succession record that the old monster has never chosen a son above sixteen. Because young children's souls are easier to deal with, so he can succeed many times. 】

【Then Amber really came by a coincidence, that little prince is also quite shrewd. 】

[Indeed, but it is also related to No. [-] spreading the traversal method everywhere. In order to verify the theory, it has been spreading for thousands of years, with little effect. 】

【...That's really hard work! 】

Langdon laughed out loud, and when he was about to continue chatting, he suddenly heard noises coming from outside the window. Because of the summer, many people sleep in the open air in this kind of army assembly place, and only important people like him can live temporarily. The qualifications of the houses, such as Alexander and Amber, have luxurious houses, and the quality is not as good as his mud house. However, there is a large open space outside his house, which is used by the accompanying merchants to do business.

This time Cecil agreed to participate in the war but would not ask for land. The new land along Maibeigu and Luofeng Mountains is enough for the Middle Kingdom to worry about, not to mention the vast prairie waiting to be included in the territory. No one cares about thousands of miles away. Interested in enclaves outside.

Since all the expenses of the Middle Kingdom are paid by themselves, they have won the qualification to do business with them. This kind of deal was negotiated in advance, and Alexander had promised it long ago. Unexpectedly, after Langdon went out, he heard "Why should I pay?" Such words.

"Our food is provided by you, His Majesty has already said that!" A man in a Rochester military uniform grabbed the collar of the barbecue stall owner and roared, "How dare you embezzle military expenses?!"

Langdon leaned forward calmly, ready to strike in case of bloodshed.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the barbecue stall was lifted off the ground and said calmly: "Your Majesty? Which Majesty? Did you just say that Your Majesty said it? Do you have an order? If you have the ability, you can send your Majesty Pull it out and say it!"

The merchants in the Middle Kingdom were booing one after another. For a while, the face of the Rochester soldier was flushed, and when he clenched his fist and was about to smash it, a familiar voice sounded: "What are you doing! Lawlessness!"

The Rochester soldiers stood at attention and bowed their heads to salute. Alexander's standard protagonist's face appeared in the darkness, and he said gently to the owner of the barbecue stall, "Isn't it scaring you?"

"No, Your Majesty." The barbecue stall owner straightened his collar and said calmly, "It's just that your subordinates don't pay for food. Did you not pay them?"

"My soldiers don't need wages!" Alexander proudly said, "I know what happened, and I won't let my proud soldiers go hungry no matter what. I'm treating guests tonight, and you can settle the bill with me afterwards."

"That's great, Your Majesty, you should settle the bill first. Our business here is paid first and then eaten." The barbecue stall owner nodded and bowed authentically, with a flattering expression, "What do you think?"

"Yes, yes." The businessmen shouted together, and they gathered around and held up the bills with smiling faces. At first glance, it did look like a dog's leg, but the eyes were green, like hungry wolves. Saw the fat sheep.

Alexander's smile was a bit stiff, and he looked at Wang Qi next to him after a while. This is a young guy. Unlike Tifa, he is less mature and more youthful. He nodded as soon as he received his gaze, and said to the boss They said, "I'll always be here, check me out."

The merchants applauded one after another, and the tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Every boss opened his voice and put on a posture to start selling. Even the boss who was threatened by his collar dragged the assailants one brother at a time, and shouted "Soldier of Losiers" Confused.

Alexander tossed off his cloak and left—it's hard for him to wear a cloak all the time in such hot weather—Langdon looked at it for a while, and then went back into the house after making sure he was all right. After waiting for a while, there were regular knocks on the door When the sound sounded, he opened a gap, and the young King Loser stepped in.

"Long time no see, teacher." The young Wang Qi said with a classic Wang Qi smile, "You look good."

"In a good mood." Langdon said briefly, tilting his head towards the door, "What is Alexander doing?"

"Buy people's hearts and create the false impression that the king has been wronged for you." The young Wang Qi said calmly, "After the last Maibeigu battle, many people in his army fled to the Central Kingdom."

"They're all disabled soldiers, aren't they?" Langdon frowned. "Lochel's subsidies for disabled soldiers are not very good."

"That's because the 'Golden Tax Officer' was able to make money when he was in office, but the lower-level soldiers and cannon fodder are not so good." The young Wang Qi smiled, "This part of the people is also the most away. life, but Alexander is not willing to understand. Besides, these people find that life is better there after they gain a foothold in the Middle Kingdom. Do you think they will publicize it to their relatives and friends? Instead of risking their lives for a possible lifetime It’s better to have a family and live together beautifully, isn’t it?”

Langdon sighed, "Big trees attract the wind."

"Alexander is already very alert." The young Wang Qi spread his hands, "I've been here for too short a time, and I'm still in the business stage, so there's nothing I can do."

"I know." Langdon said, "You have to be careful, Alexander is not as straightforward as he appears on the surface."

"I understand, I have read all the records left by Tifa." The young Wang Qi winked, "Teacher, everyone is leaving with everyone, do you want to come to make an appointment..."

"I have a king." Langdon smiled, "and I like him very much."

"Hey." The young Wang Qi curled his lips, "Teacher, you have also become old-fashioned. Isn't it a good tradition of Wang Qi to have an affair behind the king's back?"

"I didn't teach you that!" Langdon smiled and patted the student's shoulder, "Let's go, the merchants are going to be impatient."

After seeing off the young Wang Qi, Langdon lay back on the bed again, and saw that there were more than a dozen lines of messages on the parchment. At the end, Cecil's tone was already very anxious, and he responded with several lines in succession: [ What did you do? 】

【Well, sent away a student who wanted to seduce me. 】

【? ? ? 】
