The weather today cannot be said to be good. Although it did not rain, the continuous dark clouds obscured the blue sky, making it a bit gloomy.
However, the weather has no emotions, whether it is bright or dark, it is all given by people.
At least the weather today is bad, but everyone in the Luen family looks happy and happy.
A grand celebration is being held in Loen Palace.
"Your Majesty, it's time to prepare to ascend the throne." Qiao, wearing a gorgeous white witch robe, said to Jennifer beside him.
The girl was dressed up today, and the complicated custom-made platinum robe made her young face look more majestic and charming, like a rose blooming in spring.
In the golden palace, all the officials bowed their heads and stood in silence, and the honor guard tightened their grip on the spears in their hands.
Jennifer took a breath and walked toward the golden throne.
boom!
Bang bang bang!
The witchcraft salute roared, and under the golden light as bright as the stars, Colin placed a triangular laurel crown symbolizing royal power on Jennifer in front of the throne.
It was his intention to make Jennifer king.
He needs someone to manage the mundane affairs of the Kingdom of Loen, or the entire Tilaimei Plain.
This is an important position that requires a trustworthy and capable person.
After much thought, Jennifer is the best candidate.
This girl left a good impression on him, and if she becomes the queen, the Luen family behind her will naturally assist her in management.
As a family that has ruled this land for thousands of years, Colin doesn't think there is anyone more suitable for this position than them.
As for Instructor Altbould and Senior Sister Lillian, he has more important things to entrust to them.
…
After the celebration.
Colin finally had time to count the gifts he had received during this period.
Managing the Tilaimei Plain is important, but in this world where power belongs to oneself, strength is the top priority.
Not to mention that it is now a period of war, no one knows what the future will bring, and there is no room for any relaxation.
Although there are many gifts, unfortunately after counting, only two things are useful to him who is currently in the third level.
One is a knowledge crystal presented by Leopold, the leader of the Tin Sage School, which contains a third-level combined witchcraft called "Lava".
The other was the last gift Noins gave him when he left. It was a flying witchcraft tool called Silver Stream. It consumes very little magic power when cruising, but its speed can reach 1.5 times the speed of sound - about three times faster than ordinary ones.
The first-level wizards fly faster, and can also burst out at a speed of about Mach 3 in a short period of time, which is very useful whether they are rushing or escaping.
The Silver Stream is a ball of silvery light with an indefinite shape. It can be stored as a silver pendant at ordinary times. When used, it will directly cover Colin's body, and then elongate into a fusiform shape like a spaceship, carrying the user forward.
After a brief trial, Colin thanked Noins again in his heart, put away the silver stream, and examined the combined witchcraft - lava - given by Leopold.
The name of this witchcraft is simple, but it is a combined witchcraft with both offense and defense.
When attacking, it can erupt like a volcano, ejecting a scorching red stream. When defending, it can condense a layer of flowing lava around the body for defense. It has extremely strong defensive capabilities against elemental attacks, especially fire attacks.
I don’t know if Leopold made the selection carefully, but this witchcraft is obviously very suitable for Colin today.
For Colin, who is now a member of Parliament, there is no need to worry about knowledge related to meditation, but witchcraft and the like still require parliamentary points to be redeemed.
The way to obtain Supreme Council points is not much different from the way to obtain contribution points in the school. It can be through completing council tasks or turning in knowledge.
Of course, the prerequisite must be a member of the Supreme Council.
It is usually very difficult for non-members to obtain parliamentary points. It is only during times of war like this that they can obtain some by killing followers of gods.
If Colin had been a member of Parliament from the beginning, his contribution would definitely not be lacking points now.
But he was just a hybrid wizard, and all his previous contributions were exhausted after he was given the status of a Supreme Councilor.
So after the awarding ceremony, Colin suddenly found that he did not have enough points to exchange for third-level witchcraft.
In fact, a long time ago on Gupil Island, he actually snatched the emblems of many god believers from Margaret.
That could be redeemed for Supreme Council points, but because of the death of Margaret, those divine emblems had already been destroyed by him.
But even if he keeps it until now, I'm afraid he can't exchange it hastily... Colin knows that his current position is hard-earned, and he doesn't want to leave anything for those pure-blood families to attack.
So after searching for all the knowledge on witchcraft and witchcraft that he could hand over, Colin finally managed to scrape together enough contribution points to exchange for a third-level witchcraft.
After careful consideration, he exchanged for a spiritual witchcraft called Glorious Strong Wall, which also took into account both defense and attack.
But the main reason why Colin chose it is actually that it can enhance the resistance to dirty words.
And this is crucial for future plans.
After taking stock of his situation, Colin did not delay and came to Loen Palace again.
The celebration of Jennifer's coronation swept away the sadness brought by yesterday's funeral, and the palace was decorated with lights and colors, giving a cheerful look.
However, the situation outside the palace, which was separated by a wall, was miserable. Just during the distance that Colin flew from the wizard tower to the palace, he saw at least five serfs kneeling on the street begging.
The impact of farmland pollution has gradually appeared throughout the Tireme Plain.
…
"The Sidney family is planning to leave the Tilaimei Plain?" Colin frowned.
Arriving at the Queen's study, Jennifer first reported a piece of news to him.
"Yes, just now Harris asked me to tell you about this." Jennifer continued.
After pondering for a moment, Colin considered: "The Sidney family can leave if they want.
But tell him that all properties and all family wealth must be kept, otherwise he will continue to be prosecuted for usurping the throne."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The place managed by the members is not the real territory after all, so the nobles and even ordinary people living in the management area have the right to leave and move elsewhere at any time. This is decided by the Supreme Council
Of course, Colin can't change the rules.
However, he has reasons to restrict the Sidney family, which tried to usurp the throne just yesterday, from leaving.
But there is no point in doing so. Even if the entire Sidney family is imprisoned, it is just a waste of manpower and food.
As for forcing them to stay and work... Colin was more worried about them causing trouble.
He couldn't use these traditional wizarding nobles for his next plan, so he might as well use it to clear up the wealth of the Sidney family.
What's more, although the councilor has great power, it doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants, and he can't turn Harris, a second-level wizard, into his slave.
"All the wealth?" Jennifer was stunned for a moment.
"When I let them leave, the only things I took with me were food rations for up to a week, clothing and other necessities."
Colin doesn't think this is a harsh condition.
As long as Harris is a smart man, he should know that he is kind enough. Compared with the Sidney family and him as a second-level wizard, those wealth are really nothing.
"Okay, get ready. While it's still early, I'll take you to inspect the entire Tireme Plain."
The matter of the Sidney family will be dealt with here for the time being, Colin continued.
"Okay." Jennifer was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded without any hesitation.
Qiao, who was wearing a black robe, stood quietly behind her like a silent shadow. Seeing this scene, she still couldn't help but sigh.
This inspection of the Tireme Plain may take half a day to return, but it may also take several days. Before coming, Colin had already told Atbold and Lilian that after Joe finished informing the Loen family, the three of them would
Set off immediately.
In the long stream of silver, Colin's face was as calm as a statue, while Jennifer and Joe sat quietly behind him.
No matter what he does, understanding is the first step, and managing the Tilaimei Plain is no exception. He urgently needs to understand the current situation of the entire plain.
About five minutes later, they arrived at their first destination—the Kingdom of Beth.
There are seven kingdoms in the entire Tilaimei Plain. The Kingdom of Loen is located in the center, and the other six smaller kingdoms are evenly distributed around it.
Borai is a kingdom located southeast of the Loen Kingdom and is also the nearest kingdom.
It was still afternoon and the weather was a bit muggy.
The stone brick square in the center of Xinnan City, the capital of the Bolai Kingdom, was crowded with people dressed in rags. It was completely dark. The sour smell of sweat mixed with foot odor, and the smell of fermented feces and urine hit your face, making you feel sick.
King Matt of Bethlehem stood on the high platform at the front of the square. He was facing the stench and loudly comforted the serfs in front of him. Sweat soon fell from his forehead.
At this moment, Colin fell from the sky, not only startling Matt, but also the real controller of Bo Lai behind Matt - the second-level wizard Cook.
Although the seven kingdoms are now independent of each other, earlier, they were all ruled by the Loen family, and each king had a communication ring tower to communicate with each other.
It's just that under the attack of the gods, all the communication ring towers have been destroyed and have not been repaired, so there is no warning for Colin's arrival this time.
Colin didn't waste any time, showed the Ring of Tilaime in his hand, and asked in a deep voice:
"How is this going?"
Matt was still a little confused, but Cook behind him had already recognized the ring and quickly bowed and greeted:
"Good afternoon, noble Lord of Tireme."
"We are distributing porridge to the serfs."
Pie porridge... Colin turned around, as if thinking of something, and pointed at Jennifer next to him and said:
"This is the queen of the Loen Kingdom. From now on, your six countries will continue to be under the control of the Loen Kingdom."
"……yes."
Cook looked at the girl in front of him and was stunned for a moment, but he still lowered his head and took Matt next to him to say hello to the future queen.
Jennifer accepted the salutes of the two men calmly and behaved gracefully without any embarrassment.
The shadow-like Qiao behind her remained silent, but there were mixed feelings in her heart.
When Uncle Erwin was still alive... his biggest wish, apart from recovering the heritage of the Loen family, was to make the Six Nations surrender again.
But such a wish can now be easily realized.
"What exactly happened to these serfs?" Colin continued to ask.
It stands to reason that in the face of his arrival, the serfs in the audience would at least raise their heads and take a few glances, but in fact they did not pay any attention to the changes on the high platform.
Everyone was staring straight ahead, with only the knights delivering porridge in their eyes.
So much so that the Porridge Knights, who had their backs to the high platform, had not yet discovered what had happened on the platform.
"The farmland was polluted, and the nobles no longer wanted to bear the burden of feeding the serfs, so they drove them out." Matt answered first and couldn't help but sigh.
】
"Yes, sir, these serfs had several riots a few days ago, and many slaves died." Cook added.
Colin said silently, in fact, similar things happened in the Kingdom of Loen.
The nobles of the Tireme Plains basically relied on farmland for their livelihood, so they kept a large number of serfs in their hands.
In the past, it was easy to say that there were plenty of fields and plenty of food, and raising these serfs was no more than a trivial matter.
But now the farmland is destroyed, and there is no hope of recovery for a while.
Food became more and more precious, and raising these serfs would become a money-losing business. Many nobles were no longer willing to engage in these money-losing "businesses".
"Do you plan to keep giving out porridge like this?"
"I don't know, sir... we are just taking it one step at a time." Matt sighed.
Everyone knows that serving porridge like this is just a temporary measure, but what else can be done?
Are the nobles prohibited from driving away their serfs?
If such an order were given, news of various accidental deaths of serfs would come the next day.
Of course, there was one more thing Matt didn't say.
In fact, they still hold on to a hope - if they can wait until the day when the new Lord of Tireme arrives, this problem may be solved by him.
Colin continued to look at the audience.
Although most of the serfs were lethargic and dirty, at least they were not so emaciated that they were barely alive.
Colin also keenly noticed that when the knights delivering porridge encountered serfs with children, they would deliberately get more.
"Well done." Colin turned around and praised, but there was a haze in his heart.
The Kingdom of Beth was in such a situation, and the other five countries in similar situations were probably also facing the same problem.
The Kingdom of Beth chose to give out porridge, but this may not be the case for other kingdoms.
Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt a sense of urgency. After pondering for a moment, he continued to say to Jennifer and Jennifer:
"Let's go to the next kingdom."
'Are you leaving now?'
Matt and Matt were stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.
"Continue to give porridge and try to ensure that the serfs do not starve to death."
"Also, since the summer is hot, be careful to prevent the spread of diseases among the serfs."
However, in the light of the silver stream, Colin's voice suddenly came.
"Yes!" Matt and Cook nodded quickly.
Looking at each other, a faint hope seemed to be born in their hearts...
