Magic Apprentice

In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, the ones with the most power are not His Majesty the Emperor, nor the Prime Minister, nor the leaders of foreign nobles, but those women, those upper-class ladies who can call the wind and rain and influence the Kaoqi government.

Because they can command their husbands and their sons like a majestic general commands his soldiers.

In addition, these noble ladies have absolutely no factions. Maybe their husbands are political enemies who fight to the death in the court, but they are probably good sisters who often hold balls together.

For these noble ladies, power and status are nothing at all, so they never participate in the battles of men.In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, if a minister loses power in the court, then he is very likely to be sent to a very remote place to take up a very small official position.

But unless their wives are willing to endure hardships with them, otherwise, they can stay comfortably in the capital and still go in and out of the court and high social circles all day long.

The father of the concubine chosen by His Majesty the fourth emperor of the Kaoqi Kingdom was a small postal official (a postal officer who was a marquis) in a small mountain village on the border of Kaoqi. This poor nobleman has always been He was allowed to return to the capital after his grandson was born.

It is precisely because of this that the political situation of the Kaoqi Kingdom is relatively stable.

Although the struggle between the emperor and foreign vassals was fierce, it was not cruel, and the loser only lost face and power.

The stability and prosperity of the Kaoqi Kingdom, the mutual checks and balances between the emperor and the foreign vassals are one reason, and the huge and strong power network established by those women from generation to generation also played a huge role.

For these women, politics is definitely not something they are interested in, and they will never intervene in these things that should be in charge of men.However, there are exceptions, and if there is something that interests them in the boring stuff of politics, these women will also intervene.

At that time, their strength will be truly displayed in front of people.At least this kind of power can make the person concerned extremely headache.

Because this kind of power is not only extremely powerful but also ubiquitous and pervasive.

Obviously, Hercules III is now facing enormous pressure.

This great pressure comes from his mother, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager.

Faced with this pressure, His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat powerless to resist.The brilliant political methods he used in the past are completely useless in the face of this kind of power.These women who don't care about political affairs are not interested in the usual set of politics at all. They absolutely don't know how to compromise with each other, give in, or bypass conflicts by reaching other agreements.

They just want you to confront their problem and fix it.

However, that huge problem is definitely not something that His Majesty the Emperor of the world can solve.Perhaps the gods can change all of this, but he absolutely does not have the ability. "Mother, as far as I know, hasn't that young lady already accepted Hagrid's engagement ring? There shouldn't be any problems between them!" Still know how to use this method.

"Hmm, what's an engagement ring?"

The empress dowager obviously scoffed at this answer: "Don't say it's an engagement, even if it's a marriage, nothing can be confirmed at all, it's just a formality."

"How could such a thing happen? Impossible, marriage is sacred, who would make fun of such a sacred thing?" His Majesty the Emperor decided to continue to play dumb.

"Only you men think about things like this, like a promise, a ceremony can change everything, and you can have everything."

Speaking of this, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager paused for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Didn't Haigeello's father think so? It means everything is perfect.

"But, in the end?? Didn't he die under Sally's knife in the end? At that time, Sally's stomach already contained Haigeello. Think about it, even after pregnancy, it still can't represent anything. , do you think that an engagement ring can tie that young lady's heart?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I think exactly the same as Sally, and several other people think the same way, not to mention engagement, even marriage, or even having a child in my stomach, even if that Miss gave birth to the child, before the child grows up, you still have to be vigilant at all times.”

Hearing what his mother said, Hercules III had a terrible headache.He would rather be really stupid now than sit here and receive the Queen Mother's advice.

What's more, I have to endure it so hard not to show a smile. It seems that I don't have that kind of strong sedative with me, so it's really not suitable to talk about Enleco.

As long as it was related to this guy, he was either shocked to death, or couldn't help laughing until he went crazy.

These women really figured it out.Engagement doesn't count, but marriage as soon as possible.Getting married is not enough, you have to get pregnant immediately, and you have to give birth to a child as soon as possible.

This guy Enleco has great powers, I don't know if he has the ability to solve these problems.Hercules III murmured to himself, these women got together to study for a long time, and nine out of ten they wanted to plan their own wedding.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the ground with his eyes level, and he was still pretending to be stupid, because he really had no other choice but this move.

He had already scolded the big bear Kobe Leo in his heart.

Why is this guy making such a fuss?

It's good now, harming others and yourself, and even yourself, the emperor!Even set himself on fire, things are so bad that they can't be prevaricated at all!

His Majesty the emperor even thought about telling the queen mother all the inside information, and made everything clear, so that he would not have to bear such heavy pressure.

However, before he could open his mouth, His Majesty the Empress Dowager had already said: "Emperor, I will make it clear to you. In this royal wedding, you and Milinda will make a pair, and Somiret's position will be further consolidated and stabilized." After that, just as you said, let Kobe Leo Ching really get his wish. .

"Although Somiret likes to play tricks, he has no ambition to take your place. As long as you make him feel stable, as long as you trust him like the former emperor trusted the old prime minister Ross, Somiret's talent will definitely help you Govern the country well." And Heigero and that Miss Feinasia are also a good pair. Heigero represents all the foreign nobles anyway, not to mention, he is the child of Saili after all. Sally has a lot of affection with the common people. The way Haigeello himself practiced in Kasna was more or less influenced by Sally. He will help you realize your wish. Think about it, as long as he I fully support you, can those foreign nobles still oppose? This is much better than you have a strategy but no confidence?

"What's more, that Miss Feinasia is Kobe Leoqing's niece, and the two of them are a pair, and the court is not united? In addition, this lady has already become a distant figure in people's minds in Chengdaville. A figure surpassing her uncle, Haigeello's only shortcoming is that he was not loved by the people. The two of them make up for each other, and they can definitely play an inestimable role in promoting change.

"I've made up my mind a long time ago. Let Haigeello be your best man and that lady be Milinda's maid of honor. After your engagement ceremony is over, you will announce on the spot that the two of them will make a sacred oath together. Then, you announced the new set of personnel appointments and dismissals you had thought up, and in the public, that lady had already accepted Hagrid's ring, and her uncle Kobe Leo was also watching the ceremony, there was absolutely no room for evasion , strike while the iron is hot, finalize the matter, and then wait for the wedding to take place.

"During this period, this young lady let her live with Milinda in the palace. If she lived outside, she would not be guaranteed to run away. However, it is not convenient to live in Hagrid's house, and she will feel restrained. , This was originally against her wishes, so it would be perfect for her to live in the palace, and two temporary palaces could be built for her and Milinda in the imperial garden. This is also to prevent the young lady from escaping.

"I heard that the young lady and the little magician Sophie worked together to cast forbidden spells beyond imagination. Haigeello and Suomiret were completely defeated by this trick. I don't want to be here The same thing happened with Vedsk.

"I remember your father once mentioned that the altar in the imperial garden is actually a magic circle. It has a function, that is, it can disable all magic within a certain range. He talked to me about this When we were in the magic circle, it was just chatting, and I can’t remember what happened after many years, so you’re talking about it, isn’t it?”

"Well, there is indeed such a saying. Under the altar in the imperial garden, there is a terrible undead devil suppressed. That altar is indeed a magic circle. It can drain the magic power and dissipate it into the air. Within the range of the magic circle, Inside, no magician can use magic, but no one knows how to control this magic circle." Hercules III frowned and thought for a while.

In fact, he never thought of using the magic circle left over from ancient times. Instead, he was reminded by the queen mother that he thought of such a super powerful cage for magicians.

"Isn't that enough? Since someone can create this altar, someone can use that altar. It's not appropriate for Kobe Leo to handle this matter. Let's see if there are other powerful people in our Kaoqi And the right candidate is fine as long as it is not related to that young lady or that little magician Sophie." The Queen Mother asked.

"this??"

Herkors pondered for a while, and no one knew better than him the super magician possessed by the Kaoqi Kingdom.

The great wizard Kobe Leo and the chief priest Meron are all well-known super magicians.

There is also a trod beside Haigeello.

Sommeret also had a Drakes beside him.Although these two people are unknown, they are both figures with the strength of super magicians.

In addition, Enleco has to be counted.

Among these few people, Enleco himself is obviously an absolutely inappropriate candidate.Kobe Leo and Meron have a close relationship with Enleco, and they cannot be entrusted to them either.Originally, the most suitable candidate was the evil mage next to Haigeello.

However, according to Milinda, when they were in Strayer County, the evil mage and Enleco got along quite well, and they had a deep friendship. In addition, the evil mage always gave people a mysterious feeling.

In fact, this evil mage is completely different from Draeks. Draeks was hired from an extremely remote mountainous area to assist Somyrette after Somyrette took power, but Trod was in Hagrid. When Elo was very young, he intentionally got close to Haige Elo, who was still quite young at the time.

The most peculiar thing is that Trod is, in a sense, Higero's teacher. Although he doesn't know swordsmanship, he is Higero's first teacher in swordsmanship.It is precisely because of his guidance that Haigeello did not make detours in the practice of swordsmanship, and finally reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

On the one hand, this is because of Haigeello's talent. He is the only one among all the paladins who has no formal master's teaching, but can rely on the martial arts experience left by his ancestors and practice hard to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. .

However, Trod laid a solid foundation for Haigello in the early years and led him in the right direction, which is the key.

Trod contributed a lot to Haigeello's achievement.

This is really weird, Trod is definitely an incomprehensible guy.What's more, according to Milinda's description, at the most critical moment in Chengdaweier, Trod left Haigeello's side.

It was when Haigeello needed to rely on him the most that he left Haigeello's side.

It is precisely because of this that Milinda was able to achieve a comprehensive victory, otherwise, the final outcome would be difficult to predict.

However, looking back and thinking about this matter carefully, I always feel that Trod seemed to deliberately take the opportunity to avoid all this at that time.This evil mage is too mysterious to be guessed. .

With these possibilities ruled out, the only option is Drakes next to Somyret.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said, "I already have a suitable candidate in my heart."

"I don't worry about that. You should arrange it as soon as possible. I made an appointment with some ladies in the afternoon and asked them to bring the clothes patterns. The things designed by those craftsmen are always unsatisfactory. The old tailor used to Alright, I’m absolutely relieved to hand over the old tailor’s wedding dresses for you and Heigero, but those people now don’t want to talk about them.” The empress dowager said regretfully .

"Yeah, that old tailor is definitely a talent. It's a pity that I didn't realize it before. During the time when the little magician Sophie was on his tour to Darville, that old tailor made a huge contribution. It can be said that there is no old tailor There is no such situation today, in Strell County, his prestige is extremely high, even above Milinda." Hercules III said.

"Hey, that's good, call him back quickly, don't you need a right-hand man now? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have him help, and with Somiret in charge of court affairs?" "Unfortunately, He was already dead, he was already dead when the blood fox thieves attacked." His Majesty the Emperor said regretfully.

"Oh, really? It's such a pity, what a nice person, by the way, you have to show something, the old tailor has served us for so many years, and at the end of the day, he has helped you so much, you have to What do you mean?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Yes, according to the queen mother's will, I think it is appropriate to posthumously give him the title of nobility?" Hercules III asked, what kind of title he wanted the queen mother to give.

After all, for a commoner to become a high-ranking nobleman, he will face great pressure as the emperor. If the empress dowager speaks, which courtier would dare to talk?

Unexpectedly, the queen mother obviously did not agree with what Hercules III said, she shook her head and said, "Hey, you people only know how to reward with titles and official positions, is it useful? You can even give him one Duke Dangdang, can that old tailor enjoy himself in heaven?

"It's still the same sentence, people's hearts are more important than anything else. The love between a man and a woman is all about grasping each other's heart. If a courtier wants to make a career, he must also grasp people's hearts, Hagrid. Ello and Sommeret know how to grasp the hearts of most important officials in the court and those nobles from other vassal states, "Although Kobe Leo didn't do it deliberately, he firmly grasped the hearts of the common people, and at the same time won I have lost your trust, but you, the emperor, only know how to control the people with rewards? You have to try to control the hearts of the courtiers and the people!

"Think about it, in terms of talent, you are much better than your father, and you have Haigeello and Suomilet under your command, both of them are better than the old prime minister Ross, plus Kobe Lee Ao Qing is deeply respected by the people, but why is your reputation far less grand than your father's? Why is the situation before it so much more chaotic than when your father was in power?

"Because you like to use tricks to win people over, and you like to reward people with titles and official positions. You give people the impression that you are an overly rational and emotionless monarch, and a shrewd but impersonal emperor. Your subjects and subjects Of course, I will only fear you, not love you.

"Think with your heart, is it possible to honor a deceased old man by conferring a knighthood? If, as you said, this old man is respected and loved by so many people, would you What will they think of those people who respect and love the elderly? Will they turn to respect and love you because of this? Or will they just regard you as a just emperor?"

Hearing the Empress Dowager say such words that he had never heard before, and also never thought about, Hercules III was stunned for a moment.

He never thought that such a brilliant opinion would come from the mouth of the queen mother who had never expressed any political opinions in her life.

Although, these opinions are mixed with too much emotional color, and even compare the love between men and women with politics. Hold him firmly.

However, most of the insights are completely correct, and they have never occurred to me.

Once again, the Supreme Realized that he knew too little about the people he was most familiar with.Perhaps, the real wise man is by his side, but he has never discovered it.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his noble head and said very sincerely: "Yes, my lord, I will sincerely make that old man's contribution to the Kaoqi Kingdom be recognized by Kaoqi generations to come." It will be firmly remembered by future generations." Seeing that her son had understood everything, the Empress Dowager leaned on the reclining chair peacefully and said, "Emperor, I know that you are better than your father. Now that you understand, You're sure to do a better job than anyone else, just go about your business."

Hercules III hastily agreed, and respectfully withdrew from the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

After leaving the gate of the bedroom, he walked towards the gate of the palace without looking back, and the guards waiting outside the palace quickly summoned the guarding holy knight on duty.

His Majesty the Emperor is leaving the palace.

The season of late autumn did not cast any desolate color on the lawn in front of Sommeret's mansion.

The lawn is still so green, neat and level, just like the prime minister who lives here.

According to the usual practice, Sommeret got up from bed around three o'clock in the afternoon.

For a person who has slept all day, there must be nothing left in the stomach.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's "breakfast" is always extremely rich.

The change in the situation apparently did not affect his appetite.Although he has actually been imprisoned now, and cannot take a step out of the mansion without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, but he obviously did not take all this to heart.

Although he couldn't go out, it didn't mean that the news was blocked, and it didn't mean that he couldn't get in touch with the outside world. .

In fact, the intelligence network he had worked so hard for many years really showed its value at this time.

In that small reception room, which is exquisitely decorated and full of rare treasures, there are piles of information from various sources.

Now Somiret, who has been temporarily deprived of all official positions, has time to analyze the information carefully.

After this setback, Sommeret discovered that he had missed so many important things before.

I used to be self-righteous and thought that being cautious was my virtue, and being resourceful was my specialty. It seemed that this was all an illusion.

This time, completely losing to his own sister was undoubtedly a powerful dose of sobriety for him.For this fiasco, Sommeret is not very depressed, at least he thinks that he has discovered a lot of things in this fiasco, at least he knows where his weaknesses are.

In fact, I am not the only one who knows this.

After returning to the capital, Drakes, who had never left her side, actually asked for leave. He needed to go to a far away place to find some information, some information that could make him stronger.

It seems that Drakes has always been brooding over the fiasco of Cheng Daweier under the cooperation of the little beauty and the little magician Sophie, and it can be seen that this time he has made up his mind.

I remember that he once told himself that he had a way to become the most powerful magician in the world, but that way was extremely dangerous and the chance of success was very slim.

Although, when these words were said, the most powerful magician recognized in the world was the great magician Kobe Leo, but now it is obvious that this big stupid bear is no longer the strongest magician, that Enlai Ke and his teacher, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of the Kingdom of Sophie are obviously much more powerful than Ko than Leo, and even Drakes is not sure if she is strong enough to fight against these two guys after gaining power.But Dracus had no choice but to take risks.When he was in Daweier, he had no room to fight back under the shroud of the forbidden curse, and he was simply slaughtered.

Dracus would never be reconciled to this, so he would rather risk his life.Besides Drakes, another guy who closed his house and focused on improving his strength was Haigeello.

It seems that being defeated by his sister's sword is definitely a huge stimulus for this guy.

Haigeello was originally a proud and arrogant guy, and he had always been smooth sailing and had never met an opponent. Now, losing miserably at the hands of a woman may be enough for him.

Although losing to Milinda, it is not the first time.

However, it was just a joke before, and he didn't really pay attention to the game of hunting for beauty. If it comes to swordsmanship, he is absolutely sure of winning.

It's a pity that this time, it was obvious that the last things that could be proud of were smashed by the younger sister. This was the real heavy blow for Haigeello.What's more, although Drace suffered a disastrous defeat, at least he still knows how to make himself stronger.

For Haigeello, it is almost impossible to surpass Milinda.

Of course, it is not absolutely hopeless, there are at least two ways to make him stronger.

He can ask Milinda or the little magician Sophie for help.Since Milinda was able to practice both magic and martial arts, there was no reason why he couldn't.However, Melinda would be so generous to teach him a skill that she was so lucky to acquire?

As an older brother, he knew a lot about his sister's character and temper.

As for the little magician Sophie││this love rival he hated to the bone, how could Haigeello ask him for advice?

Haigeello was not a broad-minded guy in the first place.

Therefore, during these days, Haigeello must have been quite distressed as he buried himself in thinking about ways to improve his sword skills at home. After all, superhuman strength is unlikely to be obtained through hard thinking.Luck, combined with proper guidance, is the key to success.

But obviously luck is never good for this family.Especially when things are related to women, luck is extremely bad.Just as Sommeret cleared his mind and wanted to focus on the information on the table, suddenly the door of the lounge opened.

Sommeret didn't even need to look up to be sure that it was Haigeello.

Because, the only ones who could break into his mansion without notification were Haigeello, his sister Milinda, and His Majesty the Emperor.

But Milinda is always sneaky every time, she prefers to enter the room through the secret door, which has something to do with her melancholy character.

As for His Majesty the Emperor, he always knocked on the door before entering. It was not because of politeness, but because the Supreme wanted the people in the room to notice the arrival of his great man.

Only Haigeello would rush in without making a sound.

"Why did you come to me? Could it be that you have found a way to break through the bottleneck of swordsmanship?" Somiret asked without raising his head.He didn't ask Haigeello how he left his mansion without His Majesty's will.Because Haigeello would never obey anyone's orders when he was impulsive.

He didn't ask him why the guards outside didn't stop him. For a paladin, unless Milinda stood outside the door, it would be impossible for others to stop him.

But Sommeret never thought that it was not Hegeelo who answered this question.

His Majesty's voice came from the door: "Hagero didn't want to come, but I forced him to come to you."

Somiret raised his head in surprise and glanced at the king.

Whether it is Hercules III or Haigeello, they never pay attention to politeness in the small living room of Sommeret.

The two found a chair and sat down.

Somiret also didn't express anything, he didn't even clean up the delicious food on the table, and looked at His Majesty the Emperor curiously while eating breakfast by himself.

Hercules III has long been used to this, and there is not only one such example in Vedsk.Although Kobe Leo is loyal, he is also a guy who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette.The two of them are famous in Vedsk while eating and receiving guests. .

"Why are you here?" Sommeret asked.

"Come and see you two! I'm going to marry your sister, come and see my uncle, it makes sense!" Hercules III said.

"The three of us haven't been together like this for a long time." Sommeret said with a sigh.

"Yes, I miss those days very much." Hercules III said with emotion.

"Are you here to persuade them to surrender?" Sommeret asked.

His Majesty the Emperor took a look at Suomilet and Haigeello, but Haigeello remained silent from the beginning to the end.

"It's not a persuasion, I'm here to compromise with the two of you."

Hercules III thought for a long time, and it was better to get to the point of negotiation first.

Sommeret and Haigeello knew themselves quite well, and they suddenly became very concerned about others, which would definitely make them suspicious.

"Compromise?" Sommeret obviously didn't expect this to happen, and Hagrid was also extremely surprised.

"Yes, I do want to compromise with you, and of course I also hope to get your compromise." Hercules III said.

"You have already won, you have won completely. The foreign domain that was originally monolithic, but now you forcefully pry it off. Stryer County and the surrounding counties must follow you. In addition, the prosperity of Stryer County has made some other The remote and impoverished counties have been shaken. Haigello and I didn't pay much attention to them before, which seems to be a great mistake.

"Even if they don't take refuge in your side, as long as they stand on the sidelines and wait and see, it is tantamount to your victory. The foreign vassals that cannot be united are not foreign vassals, but local nobles with selfish intentions, right? ?

"In the imperial court, you probably have pretty much arranged the layout. Originally, those people under me were those who could see the wind. The reason why they stood on the side of me and Haigeello was because Haigeello had the support of the foreign domain. Huo Da. But now the situation is reversed, they were able to rely on me at the beginning, and now they can also support you, isn’t it?” Somiret said. "You are right. According to what you said, I did win, but that is definitely not the victory I need. You should be very clear about how valuable the two of you are to me."

"Hahaha, now you have someone who is much stronger than the two of us. My precious sister surpassed me as an elder brother in strategy, and her swordsmanship is better than Haigeello. She is not enough to assist you? What's more No matter in terms of ability or strength, the little magician Sophie is far behind the two of us, do we still need the two of us to get in the way?" Somiret said.

"Yes, Milinda is very strong. She has many advantages over the two of you. The most important point is that she knows how to use people. Her subordinates are much stronger than the two of you. You admit that. Is it? And, compared to the two of you, she knows how to buy people's hearts better, and I'm not wrong." Hercules III knew that everything he said was deeply in the hearts of Sommeret and Hagrid Facts that are clear and will never be denied, only facts are the most powerful evidence!

"However, there are things that Milinda can't do. After all, she is a woman. It is difficult for a woman to establish her prestige. She is very popular in Chengdaville, but she still needs to use my name to subdue those Nobles, as for Enleco, alas! If only he were a Kaoqi, or, if he was greedy for wealth, or even a womanizer.

"However, he is nothing. In a sense, he is the same person as Kobe Leo. Fortunately, Kobe Leo is from Kaoqi, but, unfortunately, Enleco is not. You can imagine , Was Kobe Leo bought by other countries?

"Although you and Kobe Leo are enemies in terms of political opinions, you will never doubt his loyalty. What about Enleco? Although I hold him in high regard, I can't change the fact that he is a Sophie. What I worry about is his talent. He can turn a remote and poor county full of contradictions between nobles and commoners into a paradise on earth. I really have no reason to doubt that he has no ability to transform any country into the strongest in the world. big country."

"Are you afraid that he will flee back to the Kingdom of Sophie?" Hagrid asked suddenly. "That's the luckiest thing for Kaoqi." Sommeret said, apparently he had already thought about everything His Majesty was worried about. "I want to negotiate a deal with you two." Hercules III said softly, "I hope you two can come back to help me. I have never needed the help of you two more than now, Sommeret , I need you to help me manage the government, and I plan to fully implement everything that has been established in Chengdaville.

"However, you should know that what I'm good at is finding talents, and handing over the most suitable jobs to them, and Milinda is obviously not suitable for this complicated job, which requires a fine and tight mind, There is no one more suitable than you, Sommeret, and you are the one who knows and cares the most about what happened in Stryl County.

"Although the perspective and angle of view are completely different from ours, but isn't there such a famous saying? - The enemy knows yourself far better than you.

Therefore, you can be said to be the person who has studied this change most clearly and meticulously. What's more, no one understands the original situation of the imperial court better than you. If you are responsible for implementing the change, you will definitely be more suitable than anyone else .

"As for Haigeello, you should know what it means for the blood fox to easily defeat the local legion in Stryl County? The knights of the Kaoqi Kingdom do not seem to be as powerful as they appear on the surface. I need a team that is truly invincible. Invincible corps, therefore, those knights who have a large number of foreign domains but have no airs will all be disbanded and reorganized into a powerful army with unified command. I want you to train and command this army. At the same time , I want to hand over the Holy Knights to you, so that the most powerful army in the Kaoqi Kingdom can reveal its true value."

"Control of the Holy Knights?"

Haigeello was taken aback, and even Suomilet didn't expect that the emperor had made such a great determination and cost. .

The Holy Knights have always been the personal guards of Kaoqi emperors, and have an unshakable status.The control of the Holy Knights is in the hands of the emperor himself. Unless the emperor authorizes, no one can mobilize this completely independent and strongest army.

The Holy Knights have always been the most important weight in the hands of Emperor Kaoqi. "Yes, not only the Holy Knights, Kobe Leo has long been tired of his position as the Prime Minister of the Interior. He has tried to resign from this position to me several times, but he has not been able to do so. Now, I plan to fulfill him, the Prime Minister of the Interior. I plan to hand over the position of minister to Milinda, but the queen can't be busy with official duties all day long. The real responsibility, I plan to let you, the elder brother, pick it up, and Kobe Leo can be responsible for training the magic corps. "In addition, the country's finances must be managed together. The treasury is not just for tax collection. Sommeret, you have to help me completely remodel Kaoqi's financial bureau. Enleco has no experience in this regard. No achievements have been made, and no solution has been figured out.

"However, for us, this is the basic lifeblood, and it must be careful and meticulous. If you can help me sort out a sound and effective financial system, Somiret, I will follow the promises made by His Majesty Emperor Xin Luoan and the ministers back then. As you said, your family can receive [-]% of the national tax revenue from generation to generation, which is a reward for your great contribution." Hercules III further said.

"Are you really planning to disband everything? The independent armies of each clan, the independent finances of each clan, the holy knights commanded by the emperor himself, all of these, these traditions that have been practiced in the Kaoqi Kingdom for hundreds of years, are all overthrown?" Suomi said. Rhett asked suspiciously.

Because everything that Hercules III said had already exceeded his original expectations.

Originally, he just thought that His Majesty the Emperor planned to take back the real power, and then firmly controlled the legions of the various vassals in his own hands, just like what the previous emperor had done in his early years.In fact, the power is concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and then dispersed to the hands of foreign nobles. This has already happened several times in the history of Kaoqi.

This is not surprising at first, once a strong emperor comes to power, it is inevitable to take back power.

At the beginning, Sommeret only thought that the emperor just wanted to use what happened in Strell County as an opportunity to divide the foreign forces.

At the same time, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and the Freemasonry restricted the economy of the Foreign Domain so that he had enough power and funds to realize his ambitious plan.

However, it is clear that what Hercules III is planning in his mind is a more ambitious plan.

He actually intends to overthrow the centuries-old tradition of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and actually intends to build a kingdom that has never existed on the basis of the whimsical genius of that little magician.

Sommeret had never heard of such a country, and never even thought that such a country would be possible to operate normally.

What has happened in Strell County may be quite exciting and quite attractive, but Sommeret only regards it as a brief period built by a genius relying on personal charm and the efforts of a few beloved people. of brilliance.In history, such brilliance has also appeared many times.

However, it is an extremely crazy thing to turn this moment of glory into a system that is implemented across the country.

Has His Majesty the Emperor gone crazy?Sommeret couldn't imagine it.

However, he knew at least one thing, His Majesty the Emperor really needed him and Haigeello to help him realize his dream.

It seems that this is not a conspiracy, the emperor came to compromise with them.

Sommeret secretly estimated the benefits he could get from it. One percent of the tax was not a small sum.

Although Somiret is not a greedy person, it is still impossible for him to completely ignore such a large amount of wealth.

What's more, for him, maybe this is a good opportunity to make a comeback.

According to what His Majesty the Emperor said, after being reinstated, his position will be more consolidated, his power will be even greater, and even the only political enemy will disappear from his eyes.

Although it is inevitable to lose the support of the foreign nobles, under the current situation, the role that those foreign nobles can play is extremely limited.Perhaps, a temporary mutual compromise is quite appropriate for myself.It's just that I don't know what Hagrid is thinking.

Although Somiret has already been tempted, he is quite clear that only by forming a strong alliance with Haigeello can he be foolproof and invincible.He turned his head and glanced at Haigeello.

Haigeello was completely unmoved by what the emperor said.

For him, what he is most concerned about now is how to solve the bottleneck that restricts his swordsmanship so that he can further improve.

The fact that he was defeated by Milinda's sword has always made him brood, and he can't let go.

Milinda's swordsmanship has entered a whole new level, for her there is no longer any bottleneck preventing her from improving her strength.

After practicing both magic and martial arts, Milinda was able to use magic to make up for the strength that was difficult to further improve after the sword skill reached the limit.

What's more, after the combination of swordsmanship and magic, it will produce completely unimaginable brand-new offensive skills, and this kind of skills cannot be defended at all by the original swordsmanship.

In that fiasco, Haigeello had fully experienced how far a paladin could use this skill.That kind of power is invincible and irresistible to ordinary paladins.However, it is simply impossible for me to learn magic again.The magic knight named Kate was originally a magician, and after being instructed by Gao Ming, he was able to achieve both magic and martial arts.

However, this is absolutely not feasible for myself.

I have never had a talent for magic, otherwise Trod would not have let me learn swordsmanship back then. Trod is definitely a super magician, and he would never be unwilling to teach himself.

Therefore, Haigeello can be sure that Milinda has received special instructions from the nasty little magician Sophie, and can use the power of magic without learning magic. .

There was nothing Trod could do in this regard, and he couldn't even guess what kind of means Milinda used to do all this.

The only one who could answer his own questions, besides Milinda, was the little magician Sophie.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Milinda, who finally surpassed herself, to tell herself the secret of becoming stronger.And that little magician was originally his natural enemy, and getting power from him was probably nothing more than wishful thinking.

Apart from increasing his strength, Haigeello didn't want to think about anything. What would happen to the foreign nobles and the court was none of his business at all.

Therefore, although he knew what Sommeret meant, he still didn't say a word.Hercules III couldn't be more clear about what Haigeello was thinking in his heart. He was most worried about Sommeret's refusal to take the bait, but he was not worried about Haigeello.

I saw the Supreme turned his head and said to Haige Luo: "His Majesty the Empress Dowager summoned me today, and she gave me a decree that I will not allow me to shirk. On the engagement ceremony between me and Milinda, you will serve as My best man, and Mi Linda's bridesmaid must be Kobe Leo's niece, Miss Fenasia, this decision is unquestionable.

"And another unquestionable decree is that after Milinda and I get engaged, it will be your turn to get engaged to that young lady. With everyone's blessings, the engagement will be presided over by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. Kobe Leo and May Long is the witness, and all the nobles of the Kaoqi Kingdom are watching the ceremony. "After the engagement, the lady will temporarily live in the palace. You understand, she lives in the palace, not Kobe Leo's home." , not in any embassy, ​​but in the palace, until the day of the wedding, you will be my best man, and at the same time a lucky bridegroom blessed by all, what do you think?"

As Hercules III expected, Haigeello's eyes immediately glowed with excitement. For him, there was nothing more tempting than this.

"The empress dowager really promulgated such a decree?"

The majestic commander-in-chief's voice was obviously trembling at this moment.

"Yes, if you still have doubts, you can immediately go to the palace and ask the empress dowager face to face. Let me tell you, the empress dowager has considered everything clearly for you. The empress dowager and your mother have already anticipated all possible occurrences Because of the unexpected accident, I even thought that the young lady ran away with a certain lover and escaped overnight, so I planned to let her live in the palace."

His Majesty the Emperor knew that at this time, he should be emotional, and let this stubborn guy know how much the Empress Dowager thought of him, so as to hold his heart tightly. "The palace? That lady is a magician, a very powerful magician. What's more, there is a little forbidden spell mage who is even stronger outside the palace. I don't think the security of the palace can stop such two powerful The magician fled."

His Majesty the Emperor obviously guessed that Haigeello had such doubts, he said with a smile: "Don't forget, there is an altar in the palace, you and Suomilet must know what is sealed in that altar.

"That altar is the crystallization of ancient magic civilization. It can create a space where magic cannot be used at all. In this space, no clever magician can cast magic, because they can't condense enough magic power at all. However, the method of using that altar has not been handed down, but there are so many powerful super magicians in Vedsk, it should not be difficult to find the correct method of using that magic circle." Hearing Herkors After the third generation said this, Haigeello and Suomilet all understood.

Haigeello jumped up from the chair excitedly and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask Trod immediately, he will definitely have a solution."
