Chapter 567 Showing Weakness and Relics (5000 Chapters Offered)
A few days later, the palace held a second meeting.
This time, Shia's proposal was about the arrangement of lords. A total of twelve lords were killed in the Dark Moon Crusade. Except for four hereditary lords with confirmed heirs, the remaining eight territories were ownerless and needed to be arranged immediately.
Candidate.
Shia proposed that two small territories near Chiyou and Bai Ling be merged into two large territories respectively as a reward. A medium-sized territory would be awarded to Joseph who has been lurking around Joseph for many years and has made great contributions to the Dark Moon.
The hero behind the scenes is Royce. For the remaining two medium-sized territories and four small territories, the elder family and the royal family will come up with plans to discuss and determine the candidate for the lord.
As expected, Angele and other veteran families expressed opposition to this proposal. The four major territories are already very large and their power is too expanded. For the long-term interests of the empire, they need to be controlled as much as possible instead of allowing them to grow further. Rewards can be considered
Property or treasures, but territory must not be let go.
This opinion is quite sufficient, and it is indeed in the interests of the empire. However, the "four major territories" proposed by Angele include Dark Moon and Blue Melt, which actually secretly block Shia.
The rewards for these two territories were proposed at one time, and with the treasury deposits left by Obsidian, if the so-called material rewards were to be cashed in, it is very likely that Shia herself would have to pay for herself.
Angele's methods are quite sophisticated, holding high the banner of putting the overall situation first, making full use of the rules, and quietly weakening the emperor's decision-making privileges. Shia is now the empress of the empire, and her first priority is to focus on the overall interests of the empire. If she insists on going her own way, then she would originally
Some of the elder families and members of the royal family who are watching will re-evaluate her in their hearts. There will definitely be more opponents and her prestige will further decline.
The new queen of Shia was just at a time when her foundation was not stable. Even with the support of the Toro family, she was still weak. In this case, she did not have many choices. In the end, the rewards for the two territories were changed to material rewards.
, the lords of the seven territories were divided between the royal family and the senatorial family. Royce became one of the candidates for the smallest territory due to Shia's struggle, and it was also a "concession" made by the senatorial family to Her Majesty the Queen.
Many people could see the displeasure in Shia's eyes, and more importantly, helplessness.
After the meeting, Old Cowan of the Toro family stayed alone and reported some of the circumstances of the last elders meeting to Shia.
"Although the Sword of the Fallen Angel gained everyone's support for His Majesty's ascension to the throne, many members of the royal family and elder families have expressed doubts about His Majesty's ability. Many people are still in the observation stage. Master Feng Saka became the head tool maker.
Alliance is a good long-term move. However, His Majesty wants to open up the existing situation through Princess Square. I am afraid that there will be great difficulties. The business structure of the imperial capital is relatively fixed. In order to prevent the interests from being divided, those families will unite to boycott the Princess.
"Fang, I'm afraid then..."
Shia shook her head: "I know everything you said. What I can tell you is that Master Feng Saka and Princess Fang have another role. It doesn't matter if those branches are suppressed, excluded, or even closed down. At the next meeting
, I will once again raise the issue of the establishment of the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Military Affairs and the establishment of the left and right prime ministers. What is certain is that my proposal to give up a position for the elder family members will definitely be rejected by strong opposition. By then, the response from the Toro family will be fierce.
Some, making my failure more real."
Old Cowan was stunned. He quickly responded: "Your Majesty wants to show weakness on purpose? But if you do this, your Majesty must carefully weigh the gains and losses. If this continues, I'm afraid your Majesty's prestige will..."
"The Toro family is the first family to turn to me. In the days to come, your experience and the strength of the Toro family will become one of my trusted arms. I hope to listen to your advice more." Shia.
A glint flashed in his eyes, "But in this current environment, there are some key things that I cannot disclose for the time being. You just need to follow them. Do you understand?"
Old Cowan looked at Shia's determined eyes and felt much more at ease in his heart. He bowed deeply: "I understand."
As expected, in the next two meetings, Shia suffered another setback, and the intensity of decision-making began to become more tactful. In many places, the interests of the elder family were taken into consideration. For Angelie and others, this
This is a good signal. After all, Shia is the queen. The original intention of the Angell family was not to drive Shia out of power, but to maintain the power and influence of the elder family, so they also showed appropriate submission and concessions.
, Royce's appointment was approved and he became the owner of that small territory.
The territory Royce obtained is called Green Shade. It is relatively small in area, with dangerous terrain and poor soil. It is located to the north of Chiyou. In addition to Chiyou, it is also bordered by several small and medium-sized territories. To put it nicely, it belongs to each territory.
An important buffer zone, to put it bluntly, the development space has been restricted to death. However, this does not affect Royce's joy and gratitude at all. The glory of the Kunda family shines again at this moment, not just the restoration of a surname.
Royce knew very well the real reason why he could become a lord, and he felt very lucky for his decision to surrender at Lanbo Lake. This was the most correct choice he had made in his life.
In Chen Rui's initial stage, both Royce and Arloux were important chess pieces to deal with Joseph. However, as Chen Rui's strength grew and the number of Dark Moon talents increased, he and Arloux
The role he played was getting smaller and smaller. However, after Shia ascended the throne, Chen Rui did not forget his servant, who had no much value. In his hands, the Kunda family not only restored its reputation, but also shone even brighter. Luo
Yisi secretly made up his mind to make some achievements and repay his master's kindness.
With the permission of the mistress Athena, Royce returned to the Dark Moon from Red Nether, and then left the Dark Moon with his wife Vasasha, his best friend Araux and some confidants, heading for the Green Shade Territory.
In the Imperial Capital, in addition to the original Youyue Pavilion in the southern suburbs, which is still being renovated and renovated, four new Princess Fang branches have opened in the city. However, many shops around immediately began to sell products similar to Princess Fang, with lower prices, and used
Various means were used to seize customers. For a time, Princess Fang was in an extremely difficult situation and could not make ends meet.
When Dark Moon Princess Shop first opened, the novelty products created a craze, but then quickly cooled down under the control of other merchants. Today’s princess (the eldest princess) has become the queen, and Princess Shop also represents to a certain extent
Your Majesty the Queen, but there are business circles and rules for doing business. The rules of this circle are also that the strong are respected. If you lose your competitiveness and just rely on the power of the Queen to gain a foothold, even if you can get temporary benefits, it will not last long.
, and Shia will also lose more people's hearts. The gain outweighs the loss.
General George's troops withdrew from the imperial capital and returned to garrison at Warlock Fortress. Sikali also withdrew part of his troops. What this move conveyed made Angelie and others more confident and gave them a good feeling that the situation was under control.
During the period of Shia's game with the elder family, Chen Rui did not stay in the imperial capital. He just found a guard of similar stature who put on a mask and cloak to replace him and appeared next to Shia from time to time. This is the benefit of the masked man.
Anyway, no one knows the true identity of "Agulie".
The place Chen Rui went to was the Bailing territory. There were many good things here. He couldn't take them away last time, so he finally had his hands free this time. The Medusa tribe has been on standby in Bailing City to accompany him to solve the problem of "Xikali".
"The lantern spirit has returned to the underground ruins of the Loeb mining area.
Chen Rui rode a bipedal flying dragon and flew directly to the Loeb Mining Area. Last time, under his instruction, Sikali ordered the suspension of mining in the Loeb Mining Area on the pretext of the disaster of Warcraft, and closed the area around the mining area to facilitate the lanterns.
Acting. Chen Rui encountered no obstacles along the way and went straight to the underground ruins of the Loeb mining area.
This relic of the ancient alchemical civilization is actually a mobile mechanical castle. Unlike before he left, many damaged parts of the castle have been repaired to a certain extent, and crystal lights are shining everywhere, like countless bright gems.
"Master!" Ginny and Jinsha led the lanterns to salute Chen Rui. Ginny once gave her life as the key to open the ruins. When Chen Rui left, he left behind a large number of spiritual fruits, which were converted into top-level energy.
Essence, Ginny and others were also resurrected. Not only that, there were more than 2,000 resurrected djinn. Including Ginny and Jinsha, there were 72 Demon King-level golden-eyed djinn.
There are 830 silver-eyed lanterns at the demon king level, and 1,300 black-eyed lanterns at the high-level demon level.
The Demon King-level lanterns do not have domain power. However, they have long-range energy attacks and special force fields similar to the domain. This force field can also be used in combination. The more people there are, the more powerful it is. Chen Rui has seen it in a fantasy world.
Due to the extreme lack of energy, when Ginny and others competed with Medusa for the Snake Blood Fruit, they could only use physical combat and magic talents, and were unable to use these energy-consuming special attacks. Now with the top energy essence provided by Chen Rui, it seems that
From a poor man with insufficient food and clothing to a millionaire in one fell swoop, he can naturally exert his strongest power.
So many lanterns are a very powerful force. More than 70 demon emperor-level lanterns, if taken at the right time, are enough to kill ordinary demon emperors, not to mention that there are crystal beasts in the ruins.
Equipped with terrifying war machines such as War Dolls and Crystal Behemoths.
There are also a large number of crystal beasts, constructed war puppets and crystal behemoths in the ruins. However, the damage is relatively serious. The crystal beasts and crystal behemoths are basically unusable. There are a few complete bodies of the constructed war puppets. After replenishing energy, they have been destroyed.
It can be used normally, but the attributes of the lantern itself conflict with the constructed battle, so it cannot be used as a pilot.
Chen Rui frowned for a moment and asked Ginny beside him: "Can you repair these crystal beasts or war partners?"
Ginny shook her head: "The djinn does not have this ability. Even if his heart lantern is damaged and he is about to die, he cannot repair it if he wants to downgrade it."
Chen Rui showed a look of regret. It seemed that he could only leave it to Turtnis for research, or a large number of senior goblin warriors would be needed as assistants.
"Master, why not create spirit attendants? With them, the crystal behemoth may be a little more troublesome, but the crystal beast and the constructed war puppet should not be a problem."
Ginny's next words made Chen Rui's eyes light up with hope, "Elf attendant?"
"Master is the inheritor of civilization, but he doesn't know about the elf attendants?" Ginny looked curious.
Due to the devouring, the memory Chen Rui obtained was very incomplete. He had indeed never heard of it. He changed his mind and replied: "You should have heard Jin Sha say that after receiving the inheritance, I fought with the powerful enemy underground.
After a battle, although he was defeated in the end, the inherited memory was also affected by this. Part of it is blurred, and many things cannot be remembered. Now tell me about the spirit attendant."
Ginny did not doubt anything, and replied respectfully: "In the alchemical civilization, the crystal behemoth is the great guardian, guarding the entire fortress; the constructed war partner is equivalent to a war weapon, and people can use it to exert power beyond their own, and drive
The stronger the spiritual power of the owner, the greater the power of the war partner; the crystal beast is equivalent to a guard, protecting the safety of the owner; we lanterns are magicians on the battlefield, and are maids who dedicate everything to the owner in life; as for the spirit attendants
They are the lowest servants. They have no fighting power and cannot leave the restricted area of the castle, but they have special abilities of repair and manufacturing. If a large number of spirit servants can be created, coupled with the top energy essence provided by the master, it will not only be the crystal beasts but also the others.
The whole castle can be put into operation again."
Chen Rui was overjoyed, but then showed doubts: "Then how to make the spirit attendant?"
"Now there is a large amount of top-level energy essence, which is enough to activate the city's central life crystal and control the entire domain castle. Then only need to provide energy to create a large number of spirit attendants."
"The entire Moving Castle is a realm. The authority I have is only to know this knowledge. The rest depends on the inherited memory of the owner."
Realm of the realm? This is not the first time that Chen Rui has heard this word. He has heard it several times from Satan. It should be the mystery of the realm that transcends the realm of the Demon Emperor. It is probably the prototype of the Kingdom of God.
According to Ginny, this moving castle turned out to be a realm? Chen Rui thought of Satan's Sercorid Mountain, and he vaguely understood something in his heart. It's just that the so-called "inherited memory" is just a cover for seizing the body, Deng Rui
The spirits don't seem to know this. The semi-god-level soul that failed to seize the body was eventually swallowed up by Chen Rui, and now most of the power remains in the star that has not been digested. After all, Chen Rui, the inheritor
It doesn't live up to its name. It can even be said to be the enemy of the entire castle. I don't know if it can truly control the entire castle. It may be dangerous.
Spirit attendants, crystal beasts, constructed golems, crystal behemoths... and this huge and powerful realm, no matter what, you must give it a try.
"Ginny, please take me to the central life crystal now."
"As you command. Master."
Ginny led Chen Rui all the way to a large palace, which was very similar to the palace in the main city that Chen Rui had seen in the fantasy world. Walking into the palace, through the spiral staircases, in a huge underground room
Former Ginny stopped: "Master, before you activate the central life crystal, I can only send it here. Inside is the control center of the main city."
"You go down first." Chen Rui nodded, and Ginny bowed and left.
This huge room had no door, but there was only a faint light coming from inside, making it look mysterious. Chen Rui took a deep breath and walked in.
As soon as he approached the entrance of the room, he felt a powerful mental wave coming, which seemed to be terrifyingly aggressive. Once there was any change, the entire soul of the person might be wiped out. Chen Rui hesitated for a moment and continued to walk forward.
The mental fluctuations became more and more terrifying, each step forward would increase by one point. Even Chen Rui's current mental power level of S+ felt trembling in his heart, as if he was walking towards the abyss of death step by step.
Chen Rui's consciousness began to blur under that kind of oppression, and his five senses gradually lost their function, but his body still moved forward resolutely with the support of his will and almost instinctive movements.
He couldn't see or hear clearly what dangers lay ahead, he just kept moving forward.
In the process of progress, Chen Rui felt that thousands of thoughts wrapped around him and penetrated directly into his soul. The super system continued to transform it into spiritual energy. However, the speed and intensity of the penetration were extremely powerful, and the speed of transformation was faintly following.
If it cannot penetrate as fast as it can, if it continues like this, the whole soul may be in danger of collapse.
Could it be another cheating attempt to seize the body? Chen Rui felt like he had been deceived and was about to try to escape. At this moment, the soul power stored in the "Hua Xing" began to fluctuate. Logically speaking, unless the power in the Hua Xing
Chen Rui absorbed it himself or passed it on to the object of his love through dual cultivation, otherwise it would not change automatically. Now this situation should be influenced by external ideas.
The soul power in Hua Xing fluctuated more and more violently, resonating with foreign ideas. With a thought, Chen Rui penetrated his own spiritual power into these soul powers. If it was "inherited" at that time, it would definitely not be possible.
He arrived, but now these soul powers are already in his pocket, which is equivalent to the food in the refrigerator. He can open it and enjoy it at any time, so there is no problem.
The demigod soul power that wrapped Chen Rui's mental power could not be restrained at last, and it continued to surge out under the attraction of powerful thoughts from the outside world. Although the soul power stored in the star was huge, the surging speed still made Chen Rui
Secretly shocked. Fortunately, the attraction quickly weakened, and the lost soul power miraculously returned to the body, and there was something more, which seemed to be some kind of spiritual imprint, blended with one's own spiritual power.
.
Before Chen Rui could react, the whole room lit up and changed into something else.
The entire huge room seemed boundless, and seemed to be an independent space. The ground was made of unknown metal, and there were strange facilities everywhere. In the center was a huge crystal, and two golden round platforms were suspended on the ceiling and the ground.
It seems to be connected to heaven and earth, with all kinds of strange symbols flashing around it.
The crystal gave off a soft purple light, and a soft female voice spoke: "The power of the soul matches 100%, and the spiritual imprint has been added. Welcome, my master."
Why does it look like an intelligent computer system? Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had traveled through time again and came to a science fiction world.
