Master Tongtian

Chapter 377 How about you become the Duke? (33)

Rosen naturally knew a lot about Afu, the eldest sister.

The 42-star extraordinary archmage, the guardian spirit of Raging Wave City, the unfailing power, and the strongest person in the East.

A person who can decide the fate of the Eastern Territory with just one word cannot be ignored.

He immediately flew a new plane to the Snow-covered Mountains.

When they arrived at the mountain, they saw a woman who was half a head shorter than Afu, but her eyes were obviously sharper, and her expression and posture were much more charming.

In comparison, Afu looks like a simple female student who has not left campus yet, while this woman looks a bit like a queen who has experienced a prosperous life.

It's very powerful, high above the ground, extremely gorgeous, but also carries a poisonous sting.

In short, at first glance, you can tell that he has a character that is very difficult to fool.

Rosen immediately put away all his cleverness.

"Two saints, salute you."

Fertana laughed: "Okay, Rosen, don't be so prude, just be casual."

After saying that, she looked at Rosen carefully and was a little surprised:

"Boy, did you deceive the mermaid too?"

Upon hearing this, Afu was startled and her eyes widened.

"Rosen, you really came."

Rosen was very embarrassed and felt as if he had been stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and recovered quickly.

"She said she would give me Mermaid Tears, which would help me break through to the extraordinary. I was very excited. I didn't know what Mermaid Tears were at first, so I agreed in a daze."

"Who would have thought something like that?"

Upon hearing this, Afu immediately understood: "That is indeed irresistible, but is it really effective?"

The second half of the sentence was about Fertana.

Fertana nodded: "It's really effective, and it's probably one of the most effective things."

Afu was surprised: "Wouldn't that mermaid be coveted by countless people?"

Fertana smiled slightly: "It's not that simple."

"The mermaid's tears must be given by the mermaid themselves to be effective. The mermaid's tears taken by force are the most terrifying soul poison in the world. Not to mention humans, even gods will be finished if they drink it."

She looked at Rosen with great interest.

"That mermaid has been on the archipelago for more than three hundred years. How did you convince her to give it to you?"

Rosen didn't want to talk about it: "Can I keep it a secret?"

Filtana didn't gossip. She turned to her sister and said, "Afu, now he really has the possibility of being promoted to the extraordinary."

Afu was half happy and half worried: "Sister, let's get down to business."

Seeing her sister's expression, Fertana sighed inwardly and got back to the topic.

"The Eastern Territory is in chaos right now. As the highest guardian spirit of the Eastern Territory, I feel like driving a sailboat through a storm. There are stormy waves all around, but there seems to be light ahead."

"I'm afraid that if I don't do it right, not only will I not enter the light, but I will capsize the boat."

"So, I came to seek the advice of the sage."

Rosen spread his hands: "Sage, you think too highly of me. I don't have the ability."

Feiertana smiled and said: "Excessive modesty is not a virtue, Rosen."

He comforted me again: "You can say whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong."

In this case, Rosen wouldn't be polite.

"Sage, can you give us a detailed introduction to the situation in the Lower East Territory?"

Fertana shrugged: "Don't you know it very clearly? Maybe you know it better than me."

Rosen felt no complacency and said seriously: "Saint, this is different. You are looking down from the sky, but I sent a few mortals to collect some outlines. How can you be as comprehensive as you?"

"You're right."

Feltana began to introduce.

"The Duke owes a lot of money, not only to the common people, but also to the surrounding city lords. Each of the five major cities owes an average of about 20 million crowns."

Afu laughed when she heard this: "Delansis is really a talented person who spends money."

Ordinary people really can't spend so much money.

Fertana also laughed to herself.

"Speaking of which, he is still my grandson's grandson. It really makes me laugh and feel embarrassed at the same time."

Rosen didn't say anything sarcastic, he was truthful.

"It's not entirely the Duke's fault. The main reason is the ill-intentioned connivance of the major city lords."

Feltana nodded: "Indeed, but there are eternal existences coveted from the lower ones. If the upper ones can't even cope with this challenge, then they are not worthy of being the upper ones."

She continued to introduce the situation in the East.

"Because of your idea, the Duke began to confiscate the homes of wealthy families in Raging Waves City to pay off debts, which caused public resentment to boil. When he came to Master Raven, the accumulated resentment exploded."

"The Duke's subsequent response was even more messy, causing his prestige to drop to its lowest point."

"Currently, except for the most elite Thunder Guards who can still command, the rest of Raging Waves City no longer obeys the Duke's orders."

"In other words, he became a bare duke."

Rosen generally knew these: "What then?"

"Of course the bare Duke couldn't pay back the money, so the major city lords began to try to seize various properties and even land in Raging Wave City in the name of debt collection."

"Then, the Raging Waves City Mage Alliance appeared."

"The great mages of Raging Waves City, headed by Master Raven, have formed a new army composed of mages, warriors and new magical weapons invented by you, known as the Storm Alliance Army."

"And just half an hour ago, in the Sea Breeze Valley south of Raging Waves City, a battle broke out between the Storm Alliance Army and the Marine Legion from White Sand City."

"The two sides hit each other hard like a collision of tides."

"After the collision, more than half of the Marine Corps suffered casualties and had to make an emergency retreat."

"However, the Allied forces suffered no more than a hundred casualties. They pursued the victory all the way and finally captured the Sea Breeze Fortress that originally belonged to White Sand City."

Rosen was surprised: "Has it already been marked?"

This progress was much faster than he expected.

At the same time, he also felt that his firearms business was about to explode.

Fertana naturally knew what Rosen was thinking. She glared at Rosen with a smile and said cold words in a tactful tone.

"Young man, you are sucking the blood of the people from the East."

Rosen shook his head repeatedly: "Saint, I may indeed gain benefits from this battle, but from another perspective, the Golden Land has been at peace for a long time, and has long forgotten the horror of war, let alone how to fight."

"And the extraordinary chaos is right in front of us. It might not be a bad thing to sharpen our skills at this time, right?"

Afu was there to help Rosen: "Sister, you are right."

Fertana naturally knows this truth. What she is confused about is, what will the East Territory look like in the future?

She looked at Rosen and asked this question.

Rosen was actually confused.

Because this is a different world with gods and magic, completely different from the earth, and this is his first experience.

So according to the scientific research method, I first started to summarize the current situation in the East.

"So, the current situation in the East is that the Duke is hiding in Thunder Castle, the Storm Guards are almost paralyzed due to unpaid wages, and many of the soldiers have even joined the Storm Alliance Army."

"The major city lords plan to carve up Raging Waves City, but the Storm Alliance Army organized by the civil society of Raging Waves City replaces the Duke and fights against the major city lords."

Fertana nodded and added: "And you are lying on Dongjing's body, sucking blood!"

Rosen pointed in the direction of the Floating City Research Bureau at the foot of the mountain.

"The blood I sucked does not satisfy my selfish desires. I am trying to build a large floating city."

"It is precisely because of this that my divine punishment did not come."

Rosen was startled and immediately said: "Sage, if you feel that my approach has crossed the line, then I will change it immediately."

Fertana waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm scaring you. Father God said that mortals can decide on their own in matters of the mortal world. The Eastern Territory is also a mortal world, so naturally everyone can do what they want."

"You can suck blood, that's your ability, I have nothing to say."

In this case, Rosen continued his analysis.

"The ultimate purpose of all this is to promote the development of magic."

"Then, as long as it meets this purpose, we will support it secretly. If it doesn't, we will ignore it."

Fertana asked: "But what is consistent and what is not consistent?"

Rosen naturally thought about it.

"The East is densely populated and has countless talents, but its resources are limited, and most of the resources are occupied by the great nobles and lords."

"But many talented mages live in poverty and have to run around for a living, making it difficult to focus on their magic."

"It's both unfair and a huge waste of talent."

"So, I think the resources in the East must be reallocated."

"Those talented mages should receive more social resources so that they can truly focus their talents on magic."

Hearing this, Afu suddenly said: "Rosen, do those words you once said to Sharina still count?"

Rosen was startled and couldn't think of it for a moment: "What are you talking about?"

Afu repeated what she said that night.

"You said that if you became a Duke, you would vigorously promote magic education, greatly lower the threshold for civilians to become official magicians, and allow the territory to have as many magicians as possible."

"You said that as long as the Golden Land has a sufficient number of mages who are powerful enough and master the most advanced spells, it should be able to take care of the world without relying on gods."

Rosen immediately remembered what he and his comrade-in-arms Sharina were talking about in bed.

But at that time, it was Hu Kan, but now he has such ambition.

He is a golden baron and a god-given earl. He seems not that far away from the title of duke.

But it's just a seeming thing, because there is no Duke who is not the Son of God yet in the Golden Land.

Rosen didn't even think about becoming a duke himself.

He just wanted to push Heya Jiali to the position of duke, and then take care of the Eastern Territory as the duke's husband.

Fertana listened to Af's words, but fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she asked Afu: "Did Rosen do this in his own territory?"

Afu nodded: "I have been doing this, and the effect is not obvious yet. In twenty years, whether it is White Whale Island or the Crescent Territory, there will probably be a large number of new logic mages emerging."

"He even developed a pharmaceutical version of the potion of having many children. One bottle only costs 5 crowns, which completely solves the problem of mage having few children."

Fertana looked at Rosen, and a thought flashed through her heart.

"How about you become a duke?"

Rosen was shocked and immediately expressed his thoughts.

"No, this is not good. This is too contrary to tradition. Let Heyagali inherit. I will be the Duke's husband."

Fertana shook her head.

"Heya Jiali doesn't have the ability, nor does she have enough prestige. She can do it in normal times, but in this extraordinary period, she can't control the situation, let alone the big ship of the Eastern Territory."

After saying this, he also felt that it was unrealistic for Rosen to be the Duke.

Although he is capable, he is from the North, he is too young, and he is only a high-level mage.

If he becomes the Duke of the Eastern Territory, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the major cities in the Eastern Territory may have to change borders immediately.

As the Guardian Holy Spirit, she can of course use powerful means to intervene in the mortal world and push Rosen into power.

But this would greatly violate the Father's oracle, and the credibility of the separation of gods and mortals that had taken a hundred years to build would collapse in an instant.

So, her tone suddenly changed: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say this, and don't think about it."

Rosen immediately said: "Saint, don't worry."

"I have a very clear understanding of my abilities and status. At most, I want to be a duke's husband."

Fertana laughed: "If you really have the ability to push Heyagali to the top, then you should do it."

After communicating like this, her confusion eased a little.

But there is still some concern.

"I'm worried that the Eastern Territory will be too chaotic, causing too much damage to the existing material wealth, and greatly delaying the progress of building the Great Floating City."

"After all, time is running out."

Both Rosen and Afu knew which time this time was referring to.

Rosen smiled and said: "This is not simple. The oracle passed down the promise not to damage the workshop and not to kill the genius mage. Anyone who violates it will be punished by God."

"But Father God said not to interfere with the running of the mortal world."

"I think God's original intention is to promote the development of magic, as long as it conforms to this point."

"Obviously, killing a talented mage will greatly delay the development of magic. Destroying a precision equipment workshop is even more of a waste."

Feltana was lost in thought.

After a long time, she spoke.

"Rosen, your statement is very informative, but after all, this is the first time we have appeared in the Golden Land, so I am still a little unsure."

"I'm afraid something could go wrong and cause irreparable losses."

The matter was so big, and she had never experienced it before, that she, a strong person who was not confused, was a little confused and worried about gains and losses.

Of course, this confusion is not a confusion about one's own cultivation, but a confusion about the general trend of the world.

I just don’t know where the times will go.

But obviously, no one can give an answer.

Finally, Fertana said: "Let's wait and see for a year. When a clear trend emerges, I will make the final decision."

Rosen immediately and sincerely praised: "The saint is really wise."

Feltana naturally knew that Rosen's compliment was sincere and she was very happy.

She looked at Rosen with a look of pity.

"If you were born into a Duke's family, then I wouldn't think about anything. I would just let Drancis pass the throne to you and leave the Eastern Territory to you."

"such a pity."

Rosen smiled: "Sage, you are taking it easy by doing this, but you are pushing me into a pit of fire. It will take at least several years of intrigue before I can truly stand firm. This good time has been wasted."

"Hahaha, you are such a clear-headed young man."

"Then let them make trouble first."

After saying that, the golden light on her body flashed, and she was gone.

Only Rosen and Afu were left on the field.

After a moment of silence, Afu asked curiously: "Tell me, what exactly are mermaid tears?"

Rosen saw that she really wanted to know, so he gave a hint: "What our children drink every day."

Afu was startled: "Can I still have a baby if I don't have one?"

Rosen nodded: "But it doesn't happen at any time, it only happens when you feel happy. Hey, let's not talk about this anymore."

The more I talked, the more embarrassed I became.

Afu is still curious: "Can she stand you?"

Seeing how curious she was, Rosen simply pushed the question back to her.

"Didn't you say you couldn't stand it at first, but in the end you didn't come to me often?"

Afu's cheeks flushed red: "You are such a guy. I don't even know what to say about you."

Perhaps the strange words inspired her strange thoughts, but Rosen stayed for another half an hour before leaving the snow-covered mountain.

Returning to Beluga City, Rosen immediately started to make arrangements.

Just two things.

First, greatly expand the White Whale Legion, increasing its number to 10,000 people. Half of the Flying Legion has just been formed and launched directly.

Of the 30 aircraft originally planned to be delivered to the prince, ten will be given to the prince first, and the remaining 20 will be used for his own use. Anyway, there are still two months left, so it is completely late.

First, use it yourself. The 20 mid-level mages from the Northern Crescent Territory who are already in training will be put on the shelves immediately.

The mana wave detectors on the coastline had long been deployed, and they were all activated at this time.

"Young men, I just have one request. Without permission, not a single fly is allowed to come in within 20 meters of the island!"

If you want to be a neutral arms dealer, you must be strong enough, otherwise you will become the weapon arsenal of the strong.

"Yes, Lord!"

A group of young people were divided into two groups and worked day and night. Among them, the mage on the day shift excitedly flew the plane into the sky.

Second, gun manufacturing workshops work overtime to make weapons. The more work you do, the more you get, and the piece price triples.

With three times the salary, the weapon-making apprentices in the workshop worked like crazy, wishing they could have more hands.
