With the fall of the city of Londinium and the destruction of the Senate, the war in the Garad continent seemed to have come to an end for the time being. However, various overt and covert struggles began again over territory, land, property, population, commerce and trade, etc.
The empire had gone through a great war and suffered the most serious loss of national power. Even though it had regained more than half of its western territory, the towns were ruined, the countryside was withered, the fields were barren, and the population was dispersed. Monsters were once again infested in many places, and it was unclear where they came from.
Anyone with a discerning eye can notice that the Great Londinium Empire is now in decline. Even if it defeats the Western Empire and the Senate, it will still have to rely on the troops and support from other countries.
Especially Vanua and Jarnod, they have been fighting against the empire for a long time, and they want to further carve up the empire's territory. The armies of various countries have not been disbanded yet, and if they want to march again, it will only be an order.
Fortunately, at this time, the Mutual Protection Alliance came forward and invited all countries to sign an armistice treaty in the city of Londinium, and advocated paying attention to post-war construction and allowing people to return home. What is even more rare is that the Mutual Protection Alliance actually returned the territory currently occupied to
empire.
Upon seeing this, the empire's top officials immediately expressed goodwill. Special Envoy Yeager personally went to reward the troops of the Mutual Protection Alliance, and designated a number of duty-free zones and embassy areas in many coastal cities and ports in the west for the Mutual Protection Alliance.
In addition to obtaining a large amount of commodities and materials through them, they were also invited to build local hospitals and train doctors and healers.
After this operation of the Mutual Protection Alliance and the Empire, although it was not an alliance, it still showed a clear attitude to Vanua and Jarnod.
Because the main foundation of the Mutual Protection Alliance is in the New World, their demands on the Galard Continent are mainly to dump goods and occupy trade interests, rather than occupying land across the ocean. The empire wants to restore its national strength as soon as possible, and is coveted by surrounding countries.
To gain a foothold, it is inevitable to reach cooperation with the Mutual Protection Alliance.
Who could have predicted that the relationship between the two sides, who were hostile just a few years ago, would improve to such an extent now? So much so that some outsiders speculated that the Mutual Protection Alliance and the top officials of the empire had actually already had a secret agreement.
After all, within the empire, the Senate was trying its best to target the independent Mutual Protection Alliance and the Kingdom of Ansel. But now that the Western Empire has been destroyed and the Senate nobles have disappeared, the Londinium Empire may not be an enemy to the Mutual Protection Alliance anymore.
At the same time, Queen Kayla appointed Yeager's special envoy to lead the signing of the peace treaty. Finally, after three months of bickering, spitting, throwing cups, throwing paper balls, and chopping off table corners, a document containing wax from various countries was finally issued.
The newly released peace treaty between India and China has established the current peace situation.
But compared to these, what the top leaders of various countries are more concerned about is probably the news of the reconstruction of the Magic Parliament.
The Eye of Mystery, which had been dormant for several years, reappeared, uncharacteristically lowering its stature, no longer solemnizing mages and advocating arcana, but instead inviting spellcasters from all systems to join the Magic Council.
From the priests of the Order of the Stars to the psykers of the Order of the Golden Flower; from the frostfire witches in the cold north to the dragonfire warlocks in the hot wasteland; from the gradually resurgent Emerald Ring Druids to the inheritance
The long-established church clergy...anyone can join the Magic Council as long as they are willing.
People who don't know the inside story all think that after several setbacks by the Eye of Mystery and Nazareth, as well as the growing mutual protection alliance, the Magic Council has to make reforms. In fact, the current reconstruction of the Magic Council is basically based on
Xuan Weizi pushed it forward, even under the guise of the "Yeager Special Envoy".
Those who knew the true situation were basically legendary casters, and they did not publicize it to the outside world. As for the reason why they kept silent, it is even less known.
"Teacher, was it really Oranso who was casting spells outside Londinium City?" Usetin stood on the terrace of a mansion and couldn't hide his surprise: "The situation at that time was just like..."
"It's like a god descending, isn't it?" Shadovan looked down at the lavishly decorated carriages heading to the Crystal Palace in the distance. It was once the palace where the imperial royal family lived and held banquets, and is now the exclusive office space for the Queen's envoys.
, there are countless envoys, dignitaries, and wealthy landowners from various countries who go to "visit" every day, so much so that even the queue to enter the Crystal Palace has become a business.
Usetin rubbed his fingers in embarrassment: "I just didn't expect that Olanso's own strength would reach this level. After the reconstruction of the Magic Council, he will probably be able to directly influence and control more than half of the forces."
"The Magic Council established after the war itself embodies power." Shadovan said: "And now it is not only Olanso who is powerful, but also the Star Order, the Emerald Ring, the Golden Flower Society, and the Pentagram.
The tower... He provides people with more directions, instead of just the mage path. Even if we don't agree with the reconstruction of the Magic Council, they can set up another one themselves. Olanso is trying to win us over."
Usetin sighed: "In this situation, our Mysterious Eye no longer dares to be his enemy."
"You'd better go to the Mutual Protection Alliance and take a look." Shadovan said: "Many of Olanso's ideas and plans have long been implemented in the Mutual Protection Alliance. He is right, the spell caster
We should rethink our relationship with ordinary people."
"But all of this must be advanced slowly under the leadership of Olanso." Usetin lowered his voice and said: "Aren't Nazarui and Heseken planning to target Olanso? With them,
Can the strength of the two of them defeat Olanso?"
"You have also seen the power that Olanso can use." Shadovan said: "When one person brings together everyone's thoughts, wishes, pursuits, and expectations, that is the power that can truly change the world. Unless Nazareth
He has to show another world, otherwise he has no chance of winning."
…
"Is it ready?" Wolf shouted toward the house.
I saw Lai Luo running out with a big backpack and asked: "Teacher, don't we stay in Londinium City for a while?"
"What? I like big cities and don't want to leave?" Wolf looked at the surrounding houses that were being rebuilt one after another. The roads were busy with traffic. The people living here seemed to have forgotten the tragic war a few months ago.
Lai Luo laughed. No matter how you say it, Londinium City is the former capital of the empire. Its prosperity is far from being comparable to that of the big cities in the New World. Even after the war, many luxurious buildings have been preserved.
Wolf and his berserker mercenaries were the first group of people to rush into the city of Londinium. After the war, they directly occupied a rich man's mansion as their base, and naturally they also searched for property.
After enjoying a stable life for several months, Wolf couldn't bear the comfort and ease and planned to leave here.
"I'm not used to it." Wolf said bluntly: "The peace here is completely false and fragile. If it hadn't been for your father's arrangement, several countries would have started the next war right away."
Lai Luo lowered his head and said nothing. He still remembered the scene when the nine-color glow shone on the city of Londinium. The extraordinary power to suppress earthquakes, cleanse the soul, and remove haze. Others did not know it, but Lai Luo had the instinct of blood.
He sensed that it was his father who took action.
There is no doubt that the nine-color glow falling from the sky was a key step in establishing the victory of the war. However, there are still different opinions and opinions on who caused the magical phenomenon.
Neither Wolf nor Lello were the ones who publicized this matter everywhere, and the Mutual Protection League did not come forward to clarify. In short, this matter became the biggest mystery at the moment.
"Teacher, where are we going next?" Lai Luo asked.
"I heard that there are many monsters in the empire, and there are many groups of bandits and bandits. There are many opportunities to make money." Wolf said: "By the way, I went back to see my hometown."
"Teacher's hometown?" Lai Luo asked excitedly.
Wolf sneered and said: "Don't have any expectations. My hometown was just an ordinary village back then. I wonder how many people are still alive now? Maybe there will only be ruins and weeds left."
Lai Luo said: "If this is the case, then build a hometown from scratch. I heard from the teacher that Chaidui Town used to be a remote and poor small village. Didn't it also become Evergreen City later?"
Wolf knocked Lello on the head: "That was your father's method and has nothing to do with me. Back then, I was just a shabby village chief who led a group of people to chop wood."
"But teacher, you are not the village chief you used to be." Lai Luo said.
These words awakened Wolf, and he took a deep breath: "That's right, I'll go back and take a look this time. I heard that the empire is also recruiting new people to return to reclamation. If I don't go back, I might end up letting those local tyrants and evil gentry
Occupied."
…
"Damn it! I didn't get much credit on the battlefield, and now everyone is impatiently asking for credit and reward! If I hadn't fought for it at the negotiation table, it's hard to say whether the empire could have maintained its current territory! You actually gave me a woman?
Do you want me to die faster?!"
In a large hall in the Crystal Palace, special envoy Yeager yelled and cursed, and glasses were thrown. A group of staff stood outside the door of the hall, looking at each other. No one dared to go in to dissuade him, especially an imperial noble who was waiting to see him.
His face turned blue and his chin trembled.
Now everyone inside and outside the empire knows that Special Envoy Yeager is deeply favored by Queen Kayla and is in great power. If there is any important matter, it is better to come to Lundinium City to visit Yeager than to visit Her Majesty the Queen in Dreihem City.
Special Envoy.
Special Envoy Yeager is a busy man. Unless he is a foreign envoy, other people can meet and talk with him in person, and it will cost a lot of money to deal with it. If he can get the promise and approval of Special Envoy Yeager, it will be a treasure trove of gold and silver at any cost.
The ground was smashed in. There was even a nobleman who brought several beautiful dancers, saying that they were dedicated to Special Envoy Yeager, but the Special Envoy took them out of the hall with his cane.
"Those guys don't even think about how Master Yeager made his fortune? How dare he have sex with women casually?"
The staff outside the palace began to whisper: "By the way, does Her Majesty the Queen really intend to marry Lord Yeager? Now that the Senate has been officially abolished, although there are still a few members of the royal family scattered outside, if Lord Yeager and the Queen
If your Majesty marries you, won't he be canonized as a prince?"
"I don't see any problem. When the empire was in crisis, it was Yeager-sama who turned the situation around. It's because Yeager-sama was reused that we, the people, have the opportunity to display our talents. It's better than those nobles who rely on blood!
"
"That's right! We will smash the head of anyone who dares to oppose Lord Yeager! We will trample them to the ground and put thousands of feet on them, so that he will never be able to stand up again!"
The staff were talking outside, while the incarnation of Xuan Weizi was holding an amethyst stone in the main hall. All kinds of yells and curses were created by spiritual energy. He seemed to be sitting in a chair in a daze, and his mind had already escaped into the wonderful realm of the Nine-turn Spirit Platform.

"By the way, are you sure you want to restore the empire's national power?" The Avatar asked: "I originally thought you were going to create some kind of offshore balancer, and maybe break the empire into six or seven pieces so that you can control it secretly."
Xuan Weizi himself said: "Whether the empire is divided or strong, we must first look at its internal causes. The nobles of the Senate themselves are the wealthy landlords within the empire. On the surface, our intervention is to destroy the western empire and abolish the Senate, but in essence
It also reshaped the empire.
Now that things have taken the first step, there is no need to go back to the past and canonize any more lords and nobles. We can directly organize the people into households and centralize power. What's more, the situation in Gallade Continent is more complicated, and there is no need to dismantle the empire.
Vanua and Jarnod will definitely not stop at what they have gained so far, and the warlords in the eastern part of the empire have not been truly recovered."
"What is this, peace for a generation?" the Avatar asked with a smile.
"I have never believed in the nonsense of 'creating peace for all generations.'" Xuan Weizi himself said: "Peace for one generation is already very rare, and long-term peace will also make people slack, indulgent, arrogant and arrogant."
"Not everyone has your level of cultivation." The incarnation shook his head: "By the way, what about Queen Kayla? I can't stay with her forever. And my power is getting bigger and bigger, and now I want to
It’s not easy to escape.”
Xuan Weizi himself smiled: "Prince Yeager, that's not a bad title either."
"You're such a person, you just don't let go of the meat in your mouth." The incarnation didn't know what Xuan Weizi meant, it was just to make Queen Kayla pregnant with his heir.
"Actually, once she successfully gives birth to an heir, 'Special Envoy Yeager' will be of little use." Xuan Weizi himself said.
The Avatar was stunned for a moment: "Is this woman so ruthless? I served her day and night, and worked so hard to win so many territories. Now I am training a group of hard-working officials for future appointment to various places. She is really
Are you and I regarded as breeding partners?"
Xuan Weizi himself said: "You used spiritual energy to cultivate her too smart, but you still let her retain her self-awareness. She still thinks you are useful. When you handle the matter, 'Master Yeager' will
It’s time to kill the head of the bed violently.”
The Avatar sighed: "This way of retreating after success is really fatal."
