Chapter 35 Achievement

Everything was as Gawain expected.

News from the South would make kings and nobles nervous, and with a warning from a resurrected ancient, the tension might rise to the level of a little panic - but that's it.

Those who have not experienced the magic tide and cannot imagine the magic tide will not react too much to these news that are limited to words, even if Gawain brings some swords and armors that have been corroded by the power of the elements. Corroborating evidence, it is impossible for them to make a higher-level response.

After all, although there are not many "abnormal natural phenomena" that can cause swords and armor to be corrupted by magic power, it is not impossible. They cannot be used as iron evidence that the magic tide is about to make a comeback - in fact, even Gawain himself is only based on memory. The data made some bold speculations, and he didn't dare to pat his chest and say that the end of the world was coming.

Francis II's response was not wrong. He could not put the entire kingdom into a state of combat readiness because of these sudden news. Even if he wanted to, the bloated and backward aristocratic system would not allow him to do so. And even if the magic tide does come, it would be unwise to prepare the country for war now - the monsters and the surge of magic in the south are just a sign, not even the vanguard of the magic tide, the real magic tide may be It won't show up until months, maybe even years later (if it's going to happen), and until then, it's all smooth sailing.

When the weather is calm and no evidence can be found to ask for national combat readiness, if it was the Moen family in its heyday, it might be able to do it, but today's Second Dynasty... has no such appeal.

Francis II even ordered the Duke of the East not to move.

A resurrected founding grand duke may be full of weight in terms of prestige, but if he wants to use this prestige to interfere with the order of the kingdom today, it would be a bit too much thinking. At this point, Gawain is very clear, he knows that he is The right to speak here is actually a scepter of flowers - splendid and gorgeous but without power, the foundation of the Cecil family is gone, no land, no soldiers and no soldiers, and even the travel expenses to the royal capital are shared with others Borrowed, this is an embarrassing situation for the always pragmatic aristocratic circle.

So Gawain held down Rebecca, who was still trying to speak, and looked at the king on the opposite side: "We have sent a message and issued a warning. As for the follow-up specific response, it is your business."

"We will definitely take your warning seriously," Duchess Victoria Wilder said in a cool voice. "All investigations will be launched immediately after this meeting, and you will be informed as soon as possible."

"Investigate... that's the only way to go," Gawain nodded and changed the conversation, "Then this is the end of the matter. Now let's talk about the private affairs of the Cecil family."

This time, the atmosphere was really tense in an instant.

"Relax, don't look like 'the old ancestor jumped out of the coffin and asked to cash out the paper money that was burned over the years'," Gawain smiled and waved his hand, and then found that no one could understand his cold joke...

Good TM embarrassing.

"I know what happened a hundred years ago, and frankly, I also really want to kill that unworthy descendant," Gao Wen twitched his cheeks and cut to the chase, "So I have no intention of overturning the verdict on this matter, I I just came here to get back something that should belong to me personally."

Francis II and several archdukes looked at each other, and the expressions on everyone's faces were more or less relaxed - Gawain took the initiative to talk about the earth-shaking event a hundred years ago, which made them feel relieved. tone. After all, on this sensitive topic, anyone who takes the initiative to speak is a psychological pressure that can make the blood pressure soar to two hundred. It is really relieved that this living ancestor can be so sympathetic to the younger generation.

But after a sigh of relief, they raised their hearts again: what would be those things that belonged to Gawain Cecil?

All things belong to the lord—that is the rule of the nobility,

Everything in the Cecil family in the past, including fiefs, vassals, titles, etc., was Gawain Cecil's personal property. What did he mean?

Everyone tensed their muscles where others were not paying attention, only Francis II glanced at Gawain calmly, and nodded slightly calmly.

"Don't be nervous, most of the things I have during my lifetime have already been passed on to my children. The unworthy descendants have destroyed all those things, and I can't force them back," Gao Wen laughed, "What I mean is Parts that cannot be inherited, such as... my right to pioneer."

The great nobles and advisors looked at each other, and then these learned and well-educated gentlemen and ladies immediately thought of the ancient and sacred pioneering decree.

It is a glorious commemoration of the second pioneering, a proof of human beings struggling to survive in a desperate situation, a swearing oath by mortals in front of nature, and even today, it is still part of the basic code of the four major kingdoms - a There will no longer be a chance to take effect, but no one dares to speak out about the repeal of the decree.

The original version of the pioneering decree was even individually inscribed on platinum plates and enshrined in the temples of every human kingdom.

But everyone keeps it as a souvenir! It is used to act as a coercion for future generations! It means that he has inherited the orthodoxy!

Why does this suddenly take effect again? !

But in addition to being shocked, the expressions on everyone's faces hide a trace of sincere relaxation, and this little change in expression did not escape Gao Wen's eyes.

So he also relaxed and began to discuss with the people present about the permanent development right.

Gawain believed that this matter would not be too difficult.

Compared with a living ancestor who has returned to the world to ask for the cash that was burned in the past, and by the way to ask him for the vast fief that was so vast that it was almost a country within a country, a mere amount of permanent development right is nothing at all. Although it sounds bluffing, it will not affect the vital interests of anyone on the scene, and if it does not affect their own interests, every noble (including the king himself) will be quite talkative.

And this is also the result of Gao Wen's deliberate promotion.

He kept a high profile along the way, spreading all kinds of news, and even when he entered the capital, he even took out the flags that were 700 years ago. Inducing everyone's thinking - making them think that this living ancestor is aiming to reverse the case for the Cecil family and get back all the family fiefs, so everyone will make a response plan under this premise and do a good job How to be prepared to fight with each other to keep your existing interests.

However, Gawain's goal was only to permanently develop the right.

This gap is basically equivalent to going out to buy a watch, the original price is 860,000, and the discount is 25%-it feels like a huge bargain.

Can't even help but suspect that the watch is fake.

But even if the twenty-five-dollar watch is fake, the ancestor is also true. If he really just wants a permanent development right... Then what else is there to say?

Good, good, give, give, hurry up and take your old man's development right to open up the wasteland, don't come back.jpg.

If Gawain did not have any foreshadowing before, and he proposed permanent development rights from the beginning, maybe things would not go so smoothly. The greedy nature of the nobles would make them want to make a fortune even in this kind of thing, but with so many It is much easier to talk about development rights.

The kings and dukes present agreed that the right to develop the right itself should be recognized without much discussion. It must be recognized even if it is not recognized, because it was not only the Ansu country that signed the right of development at the time. In fact, the four major human kingdoms and All ethnic groups and countries bordering the four major kingdoms have also recognized this decree and promised that the decree will take effect permanently, and these "common witnesses" include elves from the Silver Empire in the extreme south of the continent...

Those god-given, and especially alive elves.

Those guys with an average life expectancy of more than 3,000 years and who are extremely strict and honest are notoriously stubborn, and it was precisely because of this that the elf was one of the witnesses when the permanent development decree was signed: the monarchs of the four kingdoms The statute is more solemn and more credible, and even a copy of the Elvish language was specially written and handed over to the Silver Empire for safekeeping.

Although everyone knows that the first generation of pioneering knights cannot live forever, but human beings have to write such a decree with a "permanent" label, and let a long-lived race be a witness. This is probably a quirk of human beings. ...

Anyway, the representative of the elf at that time brought the copy back to the country while talking about "human beings are really weird", and then the queen of the elf happily stamped the copy on the copy - in a blink of an eye, seven hundred years passed. The elf queen who is still a hairy girl who has just ascended the throne. Now... still the elf queen...

She can clearly remember the stamp she made in the past, don't you admit that you have a try?

Anyway, Gawain mentioned that if Ansu did not recognize the right to develop, he would take his family around half of the continent to go to the Silver Empire. Anyway, there are still undeveloped areas around the forest of the elves, and there are many of the elves. An acquaintance, I will definitely get along well with the Cecil family...

The founding father of his own country was run on at home and could not survive. He dragged his family and led his family to live in a tree in an alien territory. If this news spreads out, do you want to lose face?

Therefore, all the people present agreed that the right to develop should still be retained, but where to develop it... this is something to be discussed.

"There is no wasteland where people can live in the kingdom, and every inch of land has its owner," the king's former prime minister, Aiden Alfred, stood up. This calm man was Francis II's right-hand man. Knowing the current situation of the entire kingdom, "Besides the kingdom, there are very few wastelands in the border areas with other countries, and some are dead places where life is cut off - such as the buffer zone of the wasteland of Gondor. Your Excellency, where do you plan to open up? ?"

Gawain waved his hand: "Bring the map."

When the map was presented, Gawain glanced at it and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Even if the world has convenient magic, auxiliary abilities such as eagle eye, forest perception, and surveying can help people draw maps, but the map in front of them is still rough, and even there are no small problems in the scale.

Compared with the "satellite perspective" in my mind, it is simply graffiti.

Perhaps it is precisely because magic is too convenient that it affects the development of many things?

Gawain thought so, and completed the comparison with the accurate map in his mind, then he pointed his finger to an area on the rough map: "I'll start from here."

It was a mountain range that bordered the border between the Gondor Wastes and Typhon.

Dark Mountains.
