Otherworld Qin

Chapter 512 539 Mercenary Rebellion
This is definitely the pinnacle work in the history of alchemy. Leaving aside such an exquisite design and craftsmanship, it is difficult to find a second copy of the material alone. Old Louis is salivating when he sees it. He really wants to snatch this golem for himself. But suddenly he thought of a question, and couldn't help muttering: "No, this puppet seems to be short of something," and then he began to think carefully.

But I heard Shengxuan say beside me: "Don't think about it, I'm missing a puppet heart." That is the core of a puppet, and if it lacks the core of a puppet, no matter how precise the puppet is, it will not be able to complete complex movements and cannot move. Golems are like scrap iron.

"How could he make such a mistake with his knowledge of alchemy and golems?" Old Louis thought to himself, but he couldn't think of a reason after all, so he could only ask, "You know that you lack the heart of golems?" , why didn't you refine it? Could it be that you don't have the right materials? Or is there another reason, and your armor is clearly a woman, you kid is not a princess who has taken a fancy to Omar, and intends to use it as a Dowry to ask for a kiss."

"And!" Sheng Xuan sneered at this, but as his eyes fell on the armor, his face suddenly became infinitely gentle, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, as if what he saw in his eyes was the woman in his heart, because The mask of the armor was made from the person in his memory, and that person was Huancai'er, but he didn't want to mention it to others.

"Hey! I said you must have someone in your heart." "I seem to have told you, haven't I?" Cheng Xuan seemed to be talking to himself, and then stopped talking, stepped forward to gently touch Looking at the armor, and then the light flashed, and he had already been accepted into the ring.

"What did you say? Hey, boy, don't go, come here and explain clearly, why don't you have a puppet heart, and who did you give it to when you refined it?" No matter how old Louis asked, Shengxuan just didn't care. He kept silent, but carefully adjusted the alchemy circle on the ground.

With the change of more than a dozen centers of the magic circle, the entire alchemy circle completely changed its appearance. After checking it was correct, he took out a large piece of refined iron, mixed with a small amount of mithril, and threw it into the circle.

After a flash of light, a whole hundred arrowheads appeared in front of the eyes. These peculiar arrowheads were half a foot long, with runes flashing on them. Old Louis' eyes popped when he saw it, and he cried out in shock: "This, this, this, Isn’t it the Demon Breaking Arrow? How could it have this shape?”

You must know that the various magic-breaking arrows that you have seen before are all refined individually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you must be a high-level mage or above to refine them. The requirements are very strict, so every magic-breaking arrow is very valuable.

Although Shengxuan's refinement still costs a lot of magic crystals, the energy of the magic crystals is more fully utilized. The most valuable thing is that the speed is shockingly fast. In just ten minutes, a hundred magic-breaking arrows have been formed. The people frantically sealed the arrowheads to prevent energy loss, and only then did they have the time to check the refining effect.

Looking at it this way, I was even more surprised. In the past, because the magic-breaking arrows pursued the effect of breaking the magic, there were only magic-breaking circles on the arrowheads. Now, because the magic circle can compress the runes to the minimum, this one The arrowhead has various effects such as sharpness, penetration, bleeding, tearing, acceleration, etc. at the same time.

Now it's time to test the power. Shengxuan took the bow and arrow from the guards in the mansion. Since he couldn't go out of the city, he simply tested it in the mansion. Let him frown slightly, because the arrowhead is too long, the whole arrow is a bit top-heavy, it seems that the tail feathers need to be adjusted, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced, but it will not affect the test shooting.

The place in the mansion is spacious, and it is hundreds of feet from the front hall to the backyard. Shengxuan set up a magic protective shield on the backyard wall, but it still feels unsafe. After all, this is the capital of the king with a dense population. The shield flew outside and hurt people, fearing that unnecessary trouble would be caused, so he fixed a few more stainless steel shields in the shield.

Standing on the roof of the front hall, aiming at the shield by the courtyard wall, the distance is a hundred feet, Sheng Xuan calmly pulled the bow into a full moon, and then let go of the finger, the arrow immediately turned into a flash of lightning and flew out.In an instant, there was a loud bang, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust was rolled up. The old Louis who was watching was frightened, and he flew out to hide.

Where the dust flew up, the magic protective cover was completely pierced, several stainless steel shields were completely torn, half of the courtyard wall had been turned into dust, and there was a terrifying deep pit on the ground, which was more than ten feet long.Is this still the effect of an arrow?Old Louis shrank his neck when he saw it. If the arrow was shot at him, it is unknown whether his puppet could block it.

Then his heart tightened, and he floated into the air, looking around nervously, for fear that the flying gravel and other objects would hurt civilians.At this moment, a guard came rushing over to report: "My lord, Your Majesty is calling urgently!"

This sentence immediately made old Louis look bitter: "The sufferer came to the door so soon?" Sheng Xuan also smiled bitterly, but he didn't believe it was because of this. Unless the king was nearby, how could he know so quickly? ?

"Why are you in such a hurry?" "I don't know, it's just that your majesty is calling urgently. The city lord should hurry up and change clothes to see you." Qiang, "Just now I was experimenting with the effect of a bow skill. I didn't expect it to be like this. Let's clean it up here. If you hurt someone, wait for a good word of comfort and pay accordingly." When the magic arrow was found, he said it was practicing martial arts.

Shengxuan went to see the king, and left old Louis to command the servants in the mansion to repair the courtyard wall. Looking at the shield that was torn like rags on the ground, he felt chills in his heart, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This little monster, made out It is also a monster, and it has such terrifying power, this speed, this killing, even the primary real world dare not take it hard."

If he knew that this kind of magic-breaking arrow was borrowed from the dragon-slaying thorn that Sheng Xuan had seen in the swamp, he would not be so surprised.After all, this is just a fixed target, and it is a close-range attack. How can the strong man stand there in a daze waiting to be shot?What's more, the dragon-slaying thorn has a tracking effect, which is incomparable to this kind of magic-breaking arrow.

Shengxuan went there quickly and came back quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky: "Hahaha, it's really God helping me. I didn't expect God to be so helpful and give me this great opportunity so soon." When Old Louis heard this, he rushed over and winked at him. The guards and servants in the mansion were all arranged by the royal family. Maybe these words would reach Nicholas' ears after a while.

"What's going on?" Old Louis was anxious. "The mercenary city is in chaos. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. The mercenary city is in chaos at this time, and the chaos is not small. Julio has no ability to suppress it. Once it expands, I am afraid that the entire western part of Omar will be destroyed." Falling into a split, His Majesty the King has no time to separate himself, so he has no choice but to let me quell the chaos. What he fears most is that Calais will take the opportunity to control the Mercenary City, and the loss outweighs the gain."

"How could this be? Isn't Julio watching over the Mercenary City all the time? Why did it suddenly become chaotic?" Old Louis was worried that this was a conspiracy. "I don't know the exact reason. I'll have to wait until I go back to see it. However, this time, His Majesty the King not only quelled the rebellion by means of thunder, but also strangled a large number of nobles who participated in the rebellion. He also made up his mind to abolish the principality. All duchies were abolished, some grand duke titles were permanently abolished, and only a few were able to retain titles, but their power was not as good as before.

The abolished principality will be divided into 53 provinces, and the king will appoint a governor to govern. Of course, the House of Representatives will be completely abolished, most of the members will be killed, and the rest will be demoted to common people.The royal family will set up temple branches in each province to be responsible for educating the people.In fact, I think part of it is to supervise the governor.The temple branch retains the guards, and Akari is responsible for the safety of the clergy, but in fact it is equivalent to hanging a sharp sword over the governor's head.

All nobles are not allowed to raise private troops, and the local garrison is only responsible for local stability. In this way, the provincial general only has the power of local security. If you want to mobilize the army, you must have a tiger charm and a handwritten letter from the king. As for when you need to mobilize, it depends on the legend of the temple. Confirmed by the news.This is also diluting the power of the governor, causing the governor to lose his military power and only be responsible for local political affairs.

In this way, it is equivalent to saying that the military and political power of the entire Omar is completely in the hands of the king, but Nicholas did not want to be an autocratic tyrant. While setting up provinces, he also set up academic institutions-National Colleges in various places. National Colleges allow discussion In terms of political affairs, the college has set up the post of teaching and administration, which has the right and obligation to listen to the opinions of the people and report them to the royal family.

Participating in politics with the people, although no one knows the specific effect, but this move has been supported by the vast majority, and those few dare not openly oppose it, because they are all degraded nobles.And this move has the intention of supervising the governor and the temple at the same time, so that the three parties can check each other, so no one dares to make a move.

This is just a change in the rights of the upper class. After that, the royal family also issued a series of land policies, which clearly stipulated that the land in the hands of princes and nobles at all levels should not exceed the corresponding title. Officials at all levels in the province distribute them to farmers for farming as appropriate, and the land tax is directly collected into the state.

"It seems to be a big move. I'm afraid that the nobles from all over the world hate the king so much that they have lost their inherent rights and wealth, but they dare not openly resist. I am afraid that the chaos in the mercenary city was instigated by these nobles. Once I'm afraid that nobles from all over the world will respond to the incident, no wonder he doesn't dare to send people to the mercenary city to put down the rebellion." Old Louis said in a low voice, "But this Nicholas is indeed a hero of a generation, and he would have such courage at this time. The introduction of the New Deal is tantamount to cutting out the flesh and treating the sores, which will greatly damage the vitality, but this will benefit the common people, so that the nobles who were originally superior will no longer dare to bully the people at will. The royal family has killed the nobles of the whole country. The hearts of the people, as long as they get through this hardship, Omar will really be strong in a few years."

Seeing that Shengxuan didn't talk to him, old Louis knew that he didn't want to discuss Oma's political affairs too much, so he asked, "When can we leave?" , but also to arrange for the vanguard to escort the supplies ahead of schedule, the documents issued by the royal family, as well as the authorization of the city lord, the military talisman, in short, a bunch of trivial matters." Sheng Xuan sighed.

"So the king still doesn't want to let you go, I'm afraid that if you let go, you will be wandering in the sea and have nowhere to go." Old Louis smiled. "You can't say that, who made us not have a mage in our hands? Didn't we ask him to go to him in the end?" "Even if you ask him again, you don't need to go in person, the city lord." Old Louis smiled happily, smiling A little dodgy.

In the past few days, Shengxuan has been running to the palace to bring back various documents. He also tested the king's attitude several times to see if he could borrow a mage, but the answer was still waiting, which made him feel a little disappointed, but After all, he no longer needs to be detained in the capital, which made him feel good.

This day finally came, the orc army was ready to go, 30 came and 20 when they returned, including more than [-] slaves who defected on the battlefield, but it is also a force that should not be underestimated.

Unexpectedly, the king brought all the ministers to see him off in person, and it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries, and Nicholas's eyes flickered, obviously very reluctant, which made Sheng Xuan feel a little bit moved.The team raised the banner newly customized by the mercenary city lord, and a golden leaf fluttered in the wind. The orcs marched into the distance with neat steps. Sheng Xuan couldn't help but look back at the capital and the temple on his horse. It is nostalgia, but a little confused.He didn't have the ambition of being a hegemon, but he was pushed to where he is today, but his heart will never change, at least he hasn't completely changed his heart yet, but the Omar royal family gave him a different feeling, maybe just a sense of belonging.

Thinking about what Nicholas had done to him, and thinking about the mansion in the city, it gave him a feeling of home. He couldn't help but feel glad that the chaos in the Mercenary City came in a timely manner. If it was a few months later, he might really be reluctant to leave. .

The feast of thousands of miles must be farewell, Nicholas insisted on sending ten miles, and then reluctantly said goodbye. Just when the king returned with his guards and Shengxuan was about to return to the team, Bienris suddenly rode forward and whispered in Shengxuan's ear He said, "Be careful with Julio, this fox family is definitely not as simple as you know." He stuffed a notebook, obviously it has been a few years.

Sheng Xuan was stunned by the result. Before he could ask anything, Bienris had already galloped away, leaving behind an old figure chasing after the dazzling Wang Qi.Old Louis came over to ask a few words, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The royal nephew is really well-intentioned. Knowing that you and Julio are considered friends, they still don't forget to plant a seed of doubt in your heart at this time. .”

This may be right or wrong, Shengxuan is not willing to comment on it, but he has a faint feeling in his heart that Bienris is right. Ever since he first entered the Grand Duke's mansion and saw the portrait of the ancestor of the Julio family on the wall, he There is a faint feeling that after so many years, this feeling has not disappeared, but has become more intense. This family is definitely not that simple, but it has never had the opportunity to understand the secret behind him.
