Chapter 608
Through a brief conversation, Rody felt that she was actually a young mage with no intentions, just like a postgraduate doctor in a university. People who are engaged in scientific research are often much simpler than those who engage in personnel and administration.
Although he still has countless questions in his heart, but the other party is now considered a "leader" rather than a prisoner, and there is no need to hold him here for interrogation. So Rody signaled Camilla to take Sylvia back to the room to rest first, do nothing for the past few days, and adapt to the current era.
After the other party left, Rody leaned back on the chair, meditating silently.
Akasha looked down at her ring, and said: "This feeling is too strange. Resurrect the dead and keep them alive. This seems to be no different from those 'awakened ones' in Tasman? Roddy...I Did you accidentally do something terrible?"
"Spells are just appearances. I think this ring is very strange. It can not only kill the undead, but also resurrect the dead. What does that guy named Parnon do? Could it be that he became a demigod like Solomon? ?”
Rody rubbed the center of his brows: "As for the resurrection, it is not valid without sufficient verification. But you should not try to use that spell recently... If there are too many resurrections, it will be really difficult to deal with."
That being said, Roddy felt that this was not a trouble, but an opportunity.
*****
After the turmoil brought by the orcs gradually faded away, the palace of the Karen royal family finally returned to its former peace.
Charles II took the time to go out with the princes and princesses for the third summer safari. The eldest prince hunted a majestic elk, which made Charles II very happy, so he held a large-scale bonfire banquet in the palace on the edge of the hunting ground, and invited several close officials to participate.
The eldest prince is nineteen this year, the second prince is sixteen, and the two princesses are thirteen and ten years old. Speaking of which, they rarely appear in public, and only get together on such occasions. Members of the royal family rarely participated in the noble banquets on weekdays, because Charles II always sneered at banquets and dances, and never liked all kinds of activities held in such mansions or castles, but preferred wild hunting dinners with unique scenery. Of course, this It is also to imitate the former kings who once opened up the territory and conquered the entire country.
At least a king who "likes to hunt in the wild" sounds tougher than a king who "indulges in drinking parties all day long". Charles II likes others to add the description of "bloody" when evaluating himself. Every time he hears a nobleman talk about the expansion of the kingdom's territory, he will participate in it with high spirits, and then get everyone's approval...
Years of pointing Jiangshan gave him indescribable self-confidence,
So today, when Mirno is preparing to attack Efta, Charles II feels that he can finally display his long-standing ambition today, and experience the addiction of "opening up the territory" and controlling the entire country.
However, for him, it is absolutely risky to allow the power of a nobleman to grow wildly without restraint. After Moore withdrew from the core power circle, Charles II naturally found that no one at the top level dared to speak against Milnor. While Milnor was doing well, Charles II was well aware of the truth that politics required "balance". Therefore, at the dinner party after the hunting, he invited several earls with enthusiasm, and chatted about the current state affairs by the light of the bonfire.
"Count Duveden, haven't I seen you go to the opera recently? Could it be that something else has delayed you?"
Charles II was also quite accomplished in art, and sometimes he would write some opera scripts or poems by himself, which was not arty, but could really have weight in the art circle. The theater is the place of entertainment he often goes to. When he wants to, he will temporarily change the script to let the actors present the plot they want. This kind of thing has become a good talk in the kingdom. Of course, this is what Charles II heard. received news.
"Your Majesty, the war has been tense recently. I have been busy with related matters in the territory. I have some clues these days. Being able to participate in the safari really relaxes my mind a lot. After all, delicious venison is much better than boring numbers and annoying reports. gone."
Du Weideng has a pointed chin and a goatee. He always likes to stare at the ground when he talks. He is not tall, but his temper is well-known in the aristocratic circle. "Idealism" means heterogeneity. At least he has always made public on many occasions that he hopes that the Karen Kingdom will be strong and prosperous, and that he hopes to reform the law, agriculture, and even the system of the Academy of Magic.
Whether it is true or not, it is courage to dare to say so. The nobles in the feudal system are all combined by interests. Charles II is very aware of how careful these so-called "loyal subordinates" are, so among a group of selfish guys, Du Weideng looks very different precisely because His position, in recent years, this earl has been excluded from the core of power by other nobles: the cake is so big, who would take the initiative to let others share their cake?
Charles II was not a radical reformer. After all, in his view, the economic and military strength of the entire kingdom is slowly rising, and there is nothing in it that needs to be changed immediately, and he also advocates "balance" and "stability". That set of ideas did not suit him, so the other party has long been the type of person who has been labeled as "idle".
But now Charles II has changed his mind. He invited Du Weideng and several other nobles who were more distant from Milnor to the party, which naturally expressed a signal. The latter are able to hang out in the inner circle, of course they know what it means, they are all smiling, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.
"I heard that Earl Duveden is very sympathetic to the people's sentiments. He not only cares about current affairs, but also has a lot of research on agricultural production?"
Charles II was no idiot, he did as much homework as anyone else before making any decision. Therefore, even a few words can always scratch the itch, which made Du Weideng, who wanted to do his best, very excited.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I think that agriculture is related to the foundation of the country. Only enough food can cultivate enough troops. With more food, we can conquer more land."
This opening remark was also specifically addressed to Charles II's appetite, and the latter laughed naturally when he heard it: "It makes sense! My soldiers have enough to eat, so they have more strength to conquer!"
