Night had just fallen, and the royal court of Farnes was already crowded with people.
It was a scene like a grand dinner party, but compared to a dinner party, the atmosphere was too tense.
Only a handful of people were eating with Lornis. A few people approached him nervously, but were immediately pulled away by the people behind them.
The ministers gathered together to talk about something, and some nobles with only nominal names were even pushed out of the door. The old man with a white beard, the high-spirited young general and some nobles wearing expensive animal skins quarreled.
"Your Majesty, while there are not many monsters coming up from the big crack, quickly dispatch the third legion to destroy them! Those are monsters underground, and it will be too late!"
"Nonsense! It's just a bunch of monsters. Wouldn't it be a joke for us Farah to call in the regular army?"
"That's right, we in Fararu are good men who are good at hunting. Those stupid monsters are completely unorganized. Although they rushed up from the vicinity of the seal in scattered pieces, they can just be treated as a tide of beasts..."
"Yes, isn't it just like the beast tide? It's just that the types of monsters we usually deal with are different. Don't be so nervous."
"But in ancient books..."
"Haha, Marquis Casmo, you are too nervous this time. You taught me the proverb of the elders that you should never believe in a book."
"No, I swear on the name of Loda Khan that this time the situation will definitely be different..."
"Wait! You can't say this nonsense——"
"...No, the Marquis is right. I don't feel good either."
"What's not so good, can they form an army? Besides, even if they really form an army, they are just a bunch of mindless monsters. How can they be more powerful than the Titans' army?"
On one side, the nobles and ministers were arguing fiercely, while on the other side, Lornes just sat in her seat, chewing her food slowly and watching the farce absentmindedly.
This young king of the mountain people is not as handsome or beautiful as the rulers of other countries. He is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, has small eyes, red cheeks and a big rosacea.
There are surprisingly many muscles with not graceful lines, but they give people the illusion of being full of fat. From a distance, they look like a small potato.
Because of his image, some people who are not familiar with him even think that Rolness has the blood of dwarves. People who hate him privately call him "the dwarf king" and "that old dwarf".
Moreover, Rolness does have the arrogance and fiery temper unique to dwarves. He also completely dismissed these rumors and did not bother to refute them. Therefore, such rumors have even been taken seriously in some areas. This has even caused many
joke.
One of the most famous jokes is that not long after Lornis took the throne, a traveling druid from Karar and a quite talented bard wanted to come to Fararu in order to write a biography of Lornis.
But after he went around the country to search for Falaro, he wrote in the biography of Rolness: "A violent but wise king. People believe that this king who is not a burly figure has a lot of blood flowing from him."
One quarter of wrought iron dwarven blood."
After that, Fararu's Dwarf King quickly became a big joke - the number one quarter is too subtle. Regardless of appearance - the average height of a semi-dwarf is one meter three to one meter four, and
The late king was a burly mountain man more than two meters tall. He was born with supernatural powers and had the blood of the mountain elders flowing in his body. He had endless endurance.
If the late king really had a half-dwarf princess... cough.
The picture was too beautiful to look directly at.
Many people don't understand why the strong and burly former king could give birth to a descendant like Lornis. To this day, there are still people who use the blood-stealing ritual to steal the royal blood of the mountain people king to usurp the throne.
The name Lornis means "wise and wise" in the language of the mountain people, but no one would ever believe that this king really had a wise mind.
In the three years since he took office, he has done almost nothing. He has only maintained the policies of the previous king and continued them as usual. This has gradually weakened the enthusiasm of the people who expected him to implement drastic reforms after taking office.
I gradually became disappointed with him.
In addition to the titles often used by foreigners such as "King of the Dwarves", some ministers and nobles of Fararor prefer to call him "The Foolish King".
But looking at it from God's perspective, Rollness actually did nothing wrong.
Fararu has neither faced any crisis nor encountered any big opportunities. It has just been developing slowly and mediocrely. From Rolness' point of view, maintaining the status quo is already a very good choice.
This is the case with many things. The more you change, the worse it gets. If you maintain the status quo, you can at least ensure progress.
Since there is still room for progress and development, Faraj has not reached a deadlock, and there is no need to carry out any form of reform.
Rather, Lornis himself knows that he is obviously deficient in talent compared to his father. But what is valuable about him is that he is clearly aware of this, so he is very smart and does nothing.
, everything maintains the status quo, instead of actually making any changes in response to the calls for reform from those ignorant nobles and people.
Rollness is not as stupid as he appears.
He can carry out reforms that may seem like big changes in some insignificant places, but will not shake the fundamentals. At the same time, he can also bring some minor benefits to the people - but that's all he can do.
The late king's vitality and will were too tenacious. When he was tortured by some mysterious curse, his muscles withered, his teeth fell out, his hair turned gray, and he could only sway on the bed, he was still able to hold on to his only son's successor.
All problems were solved before.
But everyone knew that this was done by the late king. This wisdom of realizing what would happen in the future, how to deal with it, what counterattacks would be faced, etc. before his death made the mountain people worship the wisdom of the late king even more.
After the late king held on for his last breath and worked continuously for more than twenty hours, now Farah really has no problems left...
As long as Lornis continues to follow the path paved by the late king honestly, although he will never leave a wise name in history, if nothing unexpected happens, Fararu will reign longer than his father.
Much stronger now.
Lornis didn't move anything, which proved his wisdom.
Three years after taking the throne, not to mention the Titans, even within Fararu, few people knew about Lorneth's trump card.
On the other hand, if Rolness carries out any reforms but does not achieve very good results, then the people will naturally feel disappointed after comparing his talents with those of the previous kings, and then they will be disappointed with Rolness.
disrespectful.
If compared vertically, Rolness can be ranked at the front among the previous kings of the mountain people. But he really has no room for improvement.
"Grow it underground..."
Lornis lazily leaned on his seat, holding half a roasted chicken with a burnt aroma and oil in his right hand. He narrowed his eyes and thought about something, looking like he was distracted.
He doesn't understand underground species like these people.
After his good friend Les, whom he almost regarded as his biological brother, was deceived by the brain-eating demon in the City of Fortune, Rollness asked his teacher to look up information on underground species.
It took him half a month to get this information from his teacher. At that time, he was shocked and realized the danger of these things.
Now, Rolness is somewhat glad that he did not ignore Les's opinion and learn about the underground species. Otherwise, he would really think of the underground species as monsters like those guys who are no different from stupid pigs.
And now...
Lornis took a big mouthful of chicken and chewed it slowly.
Now, this upcoming disaster caused by the invasion of underground monsters will become an opportunity for you to establish your own power. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
