Chapter 70 First Citizen

  William found that he didn't seem to need to sleep the day after he crossed over.

  The powerful mental power made it difficult for him to feel mentally exhausted. Even if he read historical documents at a high intensity for several days, the mental burden on him was only a few yawns.

The only time that made him feel a little tired was when he was testing the upper limit of his magic power. After renovating the underground training range of Austrian University with various magics dozens of times, he finally felt the slightest bit of relief. sleepy.

   But it is also to the extent that it is completely eliminated after a few minutes of meditation.

   Later, he asked Vincent and others and learned that basically after the spiritual power reaches the master level, the requirement for sleep can be replaced by meditation.

  Before crossing over, William was a night owl, and it was not until his body gradually became unbearable in his middle-aged age that he gradually improved and adjusted his own work and rest time. Now that he has such talent, he will not give it back.

After finishing the hand and tail work related to the ceremony, William worked with Vincent for a few days to deal with the administrative issues of the Rose Palace, which was basically a semi-paralyzed state, so that the operation of the government gradually returned to the right track. It was easy for Vincent to get started.

After all, when the wave of undead struck, Vincent had naturally taken over the leadership of the armed forces of all parties in the entire City of Thorns, and he was the strongest magic caster on the bright side of the City of Thorns. After Duke Simon was declared "missing", it was natural for him, the chief advisor, to serve as the "interim" leader.

   Of course, it still involves the handling of the last family members of Simon Ward.

Mrs. Simon died of typhoid in the early years. The only descendant of the Wald surname is Simon's son. He was in charge of the Origin Silver Chamber of Commerce in the City of Thorns. Before William went to the Holy Sepulchre, that person instructed Vincent to remember. Control the tide as soon as the undead tide subsides.

   Later, William also went to the secret dungeon to contact him personally, and determined that the other party was a wine bag and rice bag, and there was nothing special except drinking and playing with women.

   William was very strange at the beginning, why Simon, who can endure the layout for more than 20 years, enough to be called a hero, would teach such a textbook-style dude.

   But then he suddenly realized that since Simon planned to obtain the authority of the Death God Vera through the Wang Kou ceremony, he had never thought about the heir. Instead of teaching his child a bunch of **** tricks that he will never use in the future, it is better to let him live a life of drunkenness in a place like the Origin Quality Silver Merchant Association where he can lie down and collect money.

   just pitied those who thought that as the only child of the duke, he would surely succeed the throne in the future, so he kept flattering his ministers.

   There were some differences between William and Vincent on the handling of the last bloodline of Walder.

  William means that it is better to have no future troubles, but Vincent hopes to give the other party some money and let him disappear incognito like his father.

   But in the end, William agreed with Vincent's solution.

   "Thank you for your kindness, I thought you would insist on this matter."

  Vincent said this questioningly while heaving a sigh of relief.

   He didn't know that William's approach was the safest and most trouble-free plan, but if he really wanted him to wipe out the last blood of his old friend from this world, he really couldn't do it.

   But when William heard the words, he shook his head and said:

"Benevolence? No, I just suddenly realized that there must be a lot of people in this palace who don't agree with your rule in their hearts, and with the promulgation of the New Deal in the future, there will be more of these people. When the time comes, a It's too troublesome to jump out after that, and I definitely don't have that much energy to put it here, so it's better to leave such a banner, and then wait for them to jump out and solve it once and for all."

   There is no means of educating and screening management talents in this world. Basically, there are only two ways to become a manager - bloodline and force. Of course, more often these two are the two sides of the same coin. Therefore, even if the current management methods of those courtiers and nobles are extremely inefficient in William's view, he has to admit that they are the most experienced group of people at present, at least the current basic order still needs to be maintained by them.

   And among these people, there must be a lot of people with their own crooked thoughts, and how to screen them all out is also a big problem. Although William can now work twenty-four hours a day, he doesn't want to spend his time on such a high investment and low return.

   So instead of taking the initiative to screen, it is better to wait for them to jump out.

   After listening to the other party's words, Vincent felt that cold sweat broke out on his back, he hesitated and said:

   "If he really wants to remain anonymous..."

   "Then he can really live a stable life, and he will never even die from being framed by others."

  William said and looked outside the city of thorns, the fat man in gray robe who was riding on the black horse gradually away.

   and the [Death Ghost] that no one can see except William himself.

   As long as he is not besieged by more than three legendary magic casters, his safety can basically be guaranteed 100%.

  William thought of this, took his eyes away from the ghost with an invisible sickle, and then he looked at Vincent and said:

   "But I'm deeply skeptical that he can do that, so I suggest you prepare accordingly. But don't worry, you won't be asked to do it yourself."

   As he said, he patted Vincent on the shoulder with some comfort, and then walked down the stairs of the city wall.

   In this regard, Vincent was also silent. If things are really as Lord William said, then even he can only make that choice.

  Hopefully not…

   At this time, William, who was halfway down the stairs, suddenly turned his head and said to Vincent, who was in deep thought:

"By the way, since you've already sent that person away, have you thought about your new title? It's impossible to always issue orders in the name of chief advisor or the hand of the regent, right? That will make your future work worse. more and more passive."

   "But you didn't want me to call myself the Duke of Thorns, and you also rejected the proposal to be crowned King of Blackwater. For a while, I really can't think of a better title."

   Vincent said strangely.

It is understandable that    is unwilling to continue to inherit the title of Duke of Thorns. After all, this title to be conferred by the Royal Family of Riel itself represents the rule of the empire. But this person is obviously a hero from the era of the Seven Kingdoms hegemony a thousand years ago, but for some reason he seems to be deeply disgusted by titles such as "king".

   "Uh... yeah, let me think about it..."

   The other party replied.

   Then the man stood on the stairs and thought for a while, during which Vincent vaguely heard him muttering several words that he did not understand.

   After a while, he asked, "You are also calling the adults who have registered household registration information in the city a citizen, right?"

   Vincent nodded.

   "Why don't the new title be called First Citizen?"

   Weird title.

   But it seems like… this is a very suitable choice? Neither appear arrogant nor appear to be taking the guise of someone else's power.

  Vincent thought about the title carefully, and then the more he thought about it, the more suitable he felt.

   Whether it is for the nobles in the Rose Palace today, or for the hundreds of thousands of residents of the City of Thorns, it will not make people feel too unacceptable.

   At least it won't cause a violent rebound.

  If he directly crowned himself the king of black water now, there would be no small conflicts. And if you can't calm down quickly, it may directly lead to a civil war.

   "Lord Judge, I think this should be no problem, no, there should be no better choice than this right now."

   Hearing his own words, a smile suddenly appeared on the man's face, as if he had succeeded in thinking.

   "That's fine, that's fine."

   The other party turned around with a smile and continued to walk down the stairs.

   Vincent asked subconsciously:

   "Sir, where are you going next?"

   The other party replied:

   "Going to church, it's time to deal with the trouble of borrowing things."

   Thanks to the rudder master who gave the reward to aioer, thank you very much! !
