Archduke Vivien Leigh's expedition fleet has disappeared into the sky, but Downton still stands on the same spot, looking deeply into the distance covered by the sunset, not knowing what he is thinking.
"Although you have lost one sister, there is another one. You have left Elaine in Saint Laurent for so long and you haven't even visited her?"
Homer tried to distract Downton. After all, parting is always sad, especially for an emotional person like him.
Even though Celes told Downton to visit her, Homer knew that they might never have the chance to see her again in this life.
The Banshee Grand Duke was very generous and allowed Downton to send foreign students to Scholomance College for further study. It was not only the most famous university in the Deathrattle Continent, but also a household name in all planes, ranking among the top ten universities in all planes.
Downton refused because he knew that once these elite overseas students left, they would never come back. Grand Duke Vivien Leigh had many ways to retain them.
Because of the existence of Borusna Underground City, Downton could secretly build a portal to the Deathrattle Continent, but after careful consideration, he gave up.
"Thankfully you didn't do it, otherwise you would be a traitor to the Western Continent!"
Homer warned Downton very seriously that with Downton's current strength, there was no way he could defend the underground city. The undead clan would probably develop their power in that underground city first, and then use it as a springboard to conquer the Western Territory.
"Am I that stupid?" Downton rolled his eyes and returned to the important topic, "Have you seen those battleship drawings? Are they productive?"
"Do you think it's a joke that the Deathrattle Continent is called the main plane? Their magic civilization, magical technology, and even the production process of materials are several generations higher than those of the Western Continent. Building warships is a comprehensive process. Although Vivien Leigh
The Grand Duke was very generous. In addition to the battleship blueprints, he also gave him relevant technical blueprints, but with the current level of magic industry technology in Delankfurt, it will take at least thirty years to copy it!"
Homer announced the year, which was like a basin of cold water pouring down Downton's heart.
"Aren't those technical drawings turned into waste paper?"
Downton was disappointed.
"No way. If you marry Sissi and use Bavaria's industrial strength, I believe you can successfully imitate it soon. Moreover, the technological innovation it brings will also increase Lombardy's national power and influence!"
Homer suggested.
"How many years will it take?"
After Downton asked, he felt that doing so seemed disrespectful to Sissi.
"If you go all out to tackle the problem, it will take at least five years!" Homer persuaded, "Sissi is a good girl, and you shouldn't waste time on Charlotte who doesn't love you!"
"Let's talk about it later, I'll write a script first!"
Downton scratched his hair irritably and turned to leave.
The Archduke Vivien Leigh gave away so many things. It was not without request. Downton had to give away a novel of no less than 500,000 words every year. A script would be fine, but the quality should not be lower than The Cathedral of Notre Dame.
After Heinrich left, Downton, with the support of several major empires, was elected as the first Speaker of NATO without any suspense.
NATO is the policy platform led by Heinrich, and it is the means for him to realize his own plan, let alone Downton. Even the empires did not know what to do, so they adopted a cold treatment. The representatives went back to their homes as if it had never happened.
passed this meeting.
"I have helped you repair the wounds on the soul fruit. The next step is to recuperate." After checking Downton's physical condition, Saint Lily advised, "Stop meditating and practicing and rest for a while. Haste makes waste!"
"
"Well!" Downton hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I activated the divine word last time, but now I can't say it!"
"Haha, isn't this normal? If you mastered the word of God proficiently for the first time, you would be called a freak!" Saint Lily teased.
"ah?"
Downton was stunned.
"You can activate the Divine Word at the scepter level and feel the power of the law. You are already a genius among geniuses. What else do you want? Even if you are a legend, you cannot use the Divine Word at will!"
Holy Lily explained that any magical energy in this world forms a cycle. The greater the power obtained, the greater the price paid. To activate the divine word, the burden on the body is too great, and sometimes it will directly cause the body to collapse, so every time it is used
The word of God is to risk your life again.
"Why?"
Downton was confused.
Saint Lily shook her head and did not answer. Of course she knew that Downton was not asking about God's words, but asking herself why she told him this. You must know that these are one person's insights and experiences, which are precious and will not be spread easily. After all,
A genius with outstanding combat intelligence like Downton could very well guess the weakness of the saint from between the lines.
"I'm leaving. If you go to Paris, the royal city of Saint Laurent, you might as well go to the ruins of the Holy Court. It might be of some benefit to you!"
Saint Lily turned and left.
"Why?"
Downton grabbed Lily's wrist. As expected, the tentacles were so delicate that people wanted to hold her in his arms.
"Did you know? You are the first man I have met in ten years!"
Saint Lily chuckled, but Downton read a strong sense of hostility from it. At this moment, the Saint was not angry but was powerful, and her powerful aura suddenly broke out.
"Feel sorry!"
Downton let go, "I just really want to know, why should a saint help me? It can't be because I'm handsome, right?"
"Are you cooler than Heinrich?"
Saint Lily asked back, making Downton couldn't help but smile bitterly. That man was a man who made women want to offer themselves up for a pillow.
"Don't think too much. A friend asked me to help you. Remember to go to the Holy Court Ruins!" Saint Lily left. After walking for a while, she couldn't help but look back. "Originally, I just wanted to help my friend, but I didn't expect that there would be someone else.
Extra bonus, Heavenly Flame Soul Tree? Tsk tsk, Downton, you really have a lot of good things that make people jealous!"
Now that the Rosicky brothers and sisters are gone, Downton has no intention of helping Xueman anymore. What's more, the royal family members don't want to see him at all and are always on guard, fearing that he will take over his nest.
"Did you really give it to me?"
Sissi ran around on the deck, admiring this undead-style battleship, and asked in surprise.
"Um!"
Not to mention that Sissi had given Downton a Supreme Lord of the Rings worth 30 billion gold coins. Even if he didn't have it, he had long wanted to repay her, but he just didn't have the gift before.
"Forget it. I understand your point of view, but the warships should go back. You need the air force to deter neighboring countries now!"
Sissi touched the side of the ship and refused. As the second most beloved princess, she naturally had an exclusive battleship. It was just not as huge and domineering as this one. After all, the undead battleship was used for war.
"Take it!" Downton smiled, "I'm going back too, and after finishing my official duties, I'll go to Paris to visit my sister!"
"I have to go home too. If you have time, remember to visit me!"
As the coming-of-age ceremony was about to be held, Sissi's schedule became intensive. As a princess, she also had her own responsibilities. It was precisely because of her father's favor that she redoubled her efforts and did not want to let him down.
"good!"
When he came to Xueman, Downton was worried about being regarded as the leader and causing trouble. He didn't even dare to sit on the flagship. Now it's okay. He is holding the title of Speaker of NATO, quasi-prince of Bavaria, and the first rising star in the north. His air fleet has never stopped.
Departing from the Royal City, we sailed toward Delankfurt in a majestic manner.
This is a demonstration. It is a declaration of force. He wants to let the neighboring countries know that Frankfurt has risen under his leadership, and they must either choose to lie dormant or choose to perish!
"If you do this, it is very likely that they will unite against you!"
Chadley stood on the deck, feeling the winter north wind, and sighed.
It was a chaotic journey. Downton deliberately chose the route right above those cities. Every time he flew over one, he could see the panicked citizens fleeing below. How could these small countries have any air force?
, can only watch helplessly, and then pray, hoping that the battleship will not attack.
Chadley didn't need to look to know that these city lords didn't need to sleep peacefully until they figured out the origin of the fleet.
Downton smiled and did not answer.
"But if I were you, I would do the same thing. It's so majestic!"
After all, Chadley is a young man at heart, and he also likes to enjoy the pleasure of battleships passing by and surrender from all sides.
Jackson, who was standing behind, curled his lips. The master was not that superficial. He was deliberately showing off his muscles to frighten those countries and then unite to attack him.
Nowadays, Frankfurt is in great need of war, and Downton wants to stand on the moral high ground, so he can only use subtle provocations to let the other party take the lead in launching a war.
"We must annex as many countries as possible and expand our territory before Heinrich regains the position of NATO Speaker!"
Downton looked down at this vast land, gripped the railing tightly, his eyes were fiery, he wanted to plant his battle flag all over the north.
When the citizens of the Royal City saw battleships appearing in the sky, they were a little panicked, but they did not flee home because their own airships also took off, especially the Ancient Spear, which was like a whale shark breaking through the waves.
He faced the opponent without showing any signs of weakness.
"Notify all citizens in the city, don't panic, the Duke of Downton's fleet has returned!"
The battleship's loudspeakers broadcast announcements to reassure citizens.
The citizens were stunned for a moment, and then they waved their arms toward the fleet in the sky and burst into loud cheers.
"Lord Downton is so powerful, he has brought back another fleet!"
"I heard that he got the position of NATO leader. In addition to Sissi, there are two imperial princesses who like him!"
“Is our country about to become second-rate?”
The citizens were talking a lot and their faces were full of excitement.
Under the guidance of Downton, Abagon has been controlling public opinion and trying to create a personality cult. Of course, Downton's record is also very brilliant. War dividends, social stability, and salary increases have greatly improved the lives of the people.
In fact, the citizens don't care who the person in power is or whether he is a good person, as long as they can have a few more gold coins in their pockets and buy more meat for their families, they will support him. Therefore, Downton's prestige has skyrocketed!
If war breaks out again, there is no need for Downton to issue a national mobilization order. Those men will spontaneously take up weapons and go to the battlefield. (To be continued...)
