Western Fantasy: I can brush entries infinitely

Chapter 168 Merit Exchange
In the next few days, Victor often flattered Nidhogg and offered him various teas, drinks and other drinks for the Black Dragon King to taste.

Just waiting for that moment to come.

But Nidhogg, as the Black Dragon King, is almost an elemental body, and all substances entering his body will be digested.

Nothing like what he imagined would happen.

When Victor found out about this some time later, he owed Nancy a condition.

The war between the Kingdom of Carlo and the Kingdom of Nebonir intensified, with both sides fighting each other to the point of near-death.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, it has not affected Miracle City. It seems to be the only peaceful and pure land.

Foreign traders noticed this and drove their carriages to sell their goods, making Miracle City even more prosperous.

Although it has the name 'Miracle City', the businessmen who come and go prefer to call it - the city that never sleeps.

A city without night.

Such a name is more likely to spread among merchants, and even more distant countries are gradually hearing about it.

Traveling merchants from the Kazlant Empire also learned about this during their journey, and became extremely interested in going to see it.

Businessmen came here like sharks smelling the smell of blood, wanting to share their food.There were also some powerful and noble people who saw something hidden behind the scenes and acted extremely cautiously.

in the palace.

Another military meeting of ministers ended, and only the Crown Prince and His Majesty the King were left in the hall, and even the Prime Minister, the Marquis Nochis, left.

"Father, according to the intelligence coming in, the Nebonir Kingdom has received funding from neighboring kingdoms, and our frontline war is going unfavorably. Do you want the Balubek Kingdom to go to war in advance?"

Felix said solemnly, after becoming the crown prince, his demeanor became more calm, and he had a tendency to hide his edge.

Because of the 'Song of Sayah', the treasure of the Balubek Kingdom, a temporary alliance can be established between the two countries.

King Meredith said calmly: "No, it's just the beginning, we can't expose it."

Felix frowned. The discussion just now was for this purpose. If more funding could not be obtained, the entire Carlo Kingdom might fall within two years.

After all, it is the Nebonir Kingdom with a fifth-level sword master, and its background is not comparable to that of the Carlo Kingdom.

Thinking of what a certain minister in the parliament had just said, Felix suddenly raised his head and said: "Father, I am willing to marry. This is my responsibility as a member of the royal family."

Marriage can naturally gain support from the other kingdom, which is something that major kingdoms often do.

During the war, a kingdom was willing to marry a princess to the Kingdom of Carlo.

King Meredith glanced at him and chuckled: "You mean Price Kingdom?"

This is a small kingdom that is one country away from the Carlo Kingdom, and its national power is much worse than the previous Carlo Kingdom.

What the minister said before was that the princess of this kingdom wanted to marry Felix.

"Haha, the Kingdom of Price has nothing to do but send troops to help us. King Price just wants to raise our flag to resist the attack of the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan."

King Meredith made the point, much to the consternation of the Crown Prince.

Felix said: "Then I will write a reply later to reject Price Kingdom's marriage."

"No, you should say yes."

King Meredith shook her head, a gleam of wisdom flashing in her eyes.

"Okay, I will tell you that I will marry King Price's princess soon." Felix was silent for a moment and nodded.

"When did I say that you were the one to marry me?"

Hearing this, Felix was stunned. He seemed to see the cunning smile in his father's eyes, and couldn't help but said, "What do you want?"

"Marriage in the royal family is not that casual. Is a princess from a small kingdom worthy of marrying my son?"

King Meredith's tone was calm, but it revealed his scornful attitude. He continued: "Just find an heir from the Marquis family of similar age, and leave this matter to you."

Hearing this, Felix was shocked and immediately understood his father's intentions. Now that he was the crown prince, it was time to train loyal subordinates. The marriage of a princess of a country was the best 'candy' in his hands. At the same time, He is also cultivating his own power.

As for whether he would offend the Price Kingdom, King Meredith never worried, because he would leave the Price Kingdom no choice.

If you want to take advantage of the Carlo Kingdom, be prepared to be taken advantage of.

After discussing the marriage, the two discussed other serious matters, including Miracle City's finances and taxes.

Although the Arnold family does not need to pay taxes to the royal family, other nobles in the kingdom do.

The taxes collected due to the Miracle City factor alone account for one-third of the entire Carlo Kingdom's finances, and this proportion is even increasing over time.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Carlo has the confidence to go to war with the Kingdom of Nebonir.

In the middle of the conversation, King Meredith suddenly said: "When will you decide on your first heir?"

Felix's expression froze.

"The heir to the royal family is particularly important. As the crown prince, you should fulfill your duties, so be careful."

King Meredith said in a calm tone: "I don't care how many princesses you have, but your first boy must be the child of the Noches family, and the second boy you have with her needs to be adopted. To the Noches family.”

This is an agreement between the royal family and the Nochis family. The boys born to the royal family will become the heirs of the Nochis family. At that time, the Nochis family will become a ducal family with royal blood.

Today, Felix only knew this secret.

Then, his father's words shocked him all over, and his eyes looked incredulous.

"If you can't do it, then prepare yourself to destroy the Nochis family."

Felix's eyes widened, and he suddenly recalled that some time ago, Marquis Noches had intentionally or unintentionally asked him if he had the idea of ​​having an heir.

Seeing his changing expressions, King Meredith smiled and said, "No matter what the decision is, make preparations in advance."

After saying that, he waved his hand. Felix understood, bowed and left the hall.

"Being the crown prince is just the beginning. My son, you will meet more difficult people in the future."

Looking at Felix's leaving figure, King Meredith thought of his past self, and how it took him a long time to learn how to establish himself.

Slowly, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the cold throne in the lonely hall.

-

Knights of the Round Table Headquarters Building, in the Knights Hall.

Cliff, who was in the 10th seat, was playing with a short sword fondly. It disappeared in his left hand and then appeared in his right hand.

Repeatedly, it was a great time.

Just three days ago, Cliff was awarded the title of 'Shadow' Knight by the lord for his outstanding performance.

And given - the Holy Grail of Speed.

The effect of this holy grail is not only reflected on the road, but also has a more prominent effect on the reaction nerves.

After possessing the Holy Grail of Speed, Cliff could even go head-to-head with Anthony for more than ten rounds without losing.

You must know that Anthony has two purple entries, 'self-aiming' and 'weapon master' that are unsolvable in frontal combat.Other than using a force several times stronger than Anthony, there was nothing he could do to defeat him.

This shows the powerful properties of the Holy Grail of Speed.

Of course, it has such an effect because the Holy Grail of Speed ​​fits Cliff's abilities very well.

"Tch, there's nothing to show off."

At this time, Anthony, who was sitting not far away, spoke with a sour tone and glanced sideways at Cliff, who was having fun.

Hearing this, Cliff stopped, and instead of being angry, he smiled even more.

"It's really nothing to show off. It's just a reward from the lord, and I exchanged it for a treasure like this with a little merit."

Cliff said casually. The more he behaved like this, the more unhappy Anthony became. He only regretted that he used up his merit points too quickly and did not save them.

The cause of this incident is that Ron recently sent some items from his treasure house that he did not need but were of great use to the knights, and handed them over to Thomas to be placed in the knights to be exchanged for merit points.

For each entry item, Ron simply marked the instructions so that people can see it clearly and know the effect.

The dagger in Cliff's hand now is the weapon he has always been thinking about, and Ron also took it and put it in the Knights exchange room.

After Cliff learned about it, he immediately redeemed it for fear of being taken away by others.What surprised him was that the merit points required for redemption were exactly what he could afford. After obtaining the short sword, his merit points were zero.

He has the most merit points except Sig. He has no other hobbies but good food. This does not need to be exchanged for merit, and he can get some from Irene when he meets him.

Not long after, other members of the Knights of the Round Table came back. They went to the exchange room and exchanged their merit points for some items that were helpful to them.

Ibuprofen, who was left behind, lowered his head. He didn't find what he wanted most.If you think about it carefully, how could the lord put pants inside?

Nowadays, the requirements for ibuprofen are getting lower and lower. From the original full-body armor that can change the size to the current pants, in the end, it may only require a leaf that can be covered to transform into a giant orc.

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Anthony felt a toothache and regretted it again.

"Sig, what you are holding is the treasure hunting compass from that trip to the ancient ruins? Why did you choose this?"

Cliff glanced at everyone's exchanged items and compared them with his own, and his eyes suddenly stopped on Sig's hand.

Sig replied expressionlessly: "This is just right for me."

Everyone has long been accustomed to it. In order to control his emotions, Sig usually does not show any expression.

Cliff smiled: "It seems that the best thing is in my hands."

This is also true. The short sword in his hand has two very top entries, one purple and one blue.

——[Shadowless (Blue): Silent and invisible, hidden in the darkness]

——[Particle Cutting (Purple): Ignore defense]

Especially the second purple entry is similar to ibuprofen's [beating cattle across mountains] and should belong to the same rule.

"This is an extra reward given to you by the lord, so it is naturally the best. Otherwise, do you think you can redeem it with that little merit?"

Thomas sat back in his seat and spoke quietly, his words attracted everyone's attention.

Hearing this, Cliff was shocked and understood. The trace of pride gradually disappeared and his expression became calm.

Thomas looked at him and nodded silently, then continued: "I hope you will not disappoint the lord and that the weapon in your hand will not be covered in dust."

"Well, thank you Mr. Thomas for the reminder, I'll remember it." Cliff nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Thomas chuckled and said: "The lord mentioned to me casually that this dagger has huge potential. When your strength reaches a certain level, you can either improve the quality of the dagger, or it may be able to cut through space and separate the space. Kill the enemy in vain.”

Everyone is shocked, realizing that the dagger in Cliff's hand may be a stronger item than the Holy Grail.

Cliff's eyes lit up, and he thought about his ability. He didn't need to show his face, he could hurt people invisible by hiding in the shadows. It was scary!
-

As more and more traveling merchants came to Miracle City, bringing crops and food from elsewhere, Ron saw many vegetables and fruits he recognized.

For example: cabbage, radish, tomato, cucumber, cabbage, apple, pear, etc., and even a big pumpkin.

Some of it was left for the experts to plant in their own vegetable gardens, and the rest was ordered to be transported to the farmland in the second ring, where there was a planting garden specially provided for the lord's personal garden.

That is to say, Lana Village, the original exclusive vegetable supply village of the Baron Mansion, was now assigned a special duty by Joyce, serving only the lord alone and providing the highest quality grown food.

Seeing these familiar foods, Ron was filled with emotion.

"Master, why are you in a daze? Isn't it delicious? I just tasted it and it tastes good~"

Off to the side, Eileen noticed that Ron was holding a small fruit called a grape in a daze without saying a word. She was puzzled and suddenly asked.

As soon as he said the words, he realized that he had made a mistake. He immediately raised his right hand with the bracelet on it and stretched it out to Ron. While shaking it, he said quickly: "Master, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Ron: "."

Does she really believe it?

With this thought in his mind, his eyes fell on the bracelet on Irene's wrist and said: "Master, I am in a good mood today, so I won't punish you. I will teach you how to make a delicious dish called rice noodles."

As soon as these words came out, Erin's eyes lit up and she looked at the bracelet Ron gave her like a treasure.

The young master really did not lie to himself. With this bracelet, he would no longer be afraid of saying the wrong thing. Ron would not have thought of what feats Eileen would do next, or that he had already done something that he did not know about.

After writing down the recipe, Irene headed to her small kitchen with great interest. Ron had great trust in her ability to move. He would be able to taste the rice noodles made by Irene tomorrow at the latest.

The reason why I told you how to make 'rice noodles' is because I happened to have the ingredients to make it.

A few days later, the Knights.

The solemn voice spread throughout the hall and fell into the ears of all the knights. They looked at the young lord in the center with excitement and respect, as well as the strong knight kneeling in front of the young man.

"In the name of the head of the Arnold family, I grant you the title of Knight of the Great Prime Minister."

This time Ron was standing, one hand on the ibuprofen shoulder at just the right height.

Then he took out a Holy Grail and handed it over, saying: "This is the Holy Grail of Power. It best suits your abilities. I hope you can master it well."

"Yes, Lord Lord! I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

He lowered his head to take the ibuprofen with both hands. With his slight movements, the muscles all over his body tensed up, and his looming muscles could be seen through the knight's uniform. It was simply terrifying.

At the end of the investiture ceremony, Ron left in front of everyone, and Egbert followed suit.

The other Knights of the Round Table came forward to congratulate me. Ibuprofen stared at the rim of the Holy Grail of Power, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.

"Ibuprofen, you are a giant knight from today on. What are you looking at?"

Hearing someone talking to him, Ibuprofen came back to his senses and put away the Holy Grail of Power.

the other side.

Ron and Egbert had just left the gate of the Knights, and Eileen came in a hurry and said hurriedly: "Lord, there is a seemingly powerful businessman outside the mansion, and he seems to have treasures to dedicate to you! "

Ron was surprised. Without his summons, not many people could come to the door of the Baron Mansion alone.

"Let him in."
