Master Tongtian

Chapter 396 Father-in-law, take care of the stall and give it to me (55)

Raging Wave City, Thunder Castle.

Storm Duke Drancis stood alone in the golden hall, his eyes staring at the motionless lightning spear suspended in the center of the hall.

This is actually a bone spear, ground out of the bones of a peak Immortal Realm expert. The shape is just like a large sewing needle, which is not pretty at all.

But its powerful power makes everyone ignore its simple appearance.

It was suspended at a height of about 1 meter, and from time to time in the air around the spear tip and body, fine blue lightning would be generated and annihilated in the void.

As long as anyone with eyes sees such a vision, they will know that this thing must contain terrible power.

Delances was a little sad because he felt that he would lose this artifact soon.

Whether his daughter inherits the title or that boy from the north, this spear has nothing to do with him.

Just as he was focusing on the artifact, there were rapid footsteps outside the hall, followed closely by a familiar voice from behind: "Your Majesty, the Earl of the Islands is here, coming from the sky."

This is his most loyal Thunder Guard, level 9 peak warrior Ren Denan.

He is a very serious and old-fashioned man, with no expression other than dullness on his face, at least not in the past ten years.

But now, there was a trace of horror on this face that was so dull that it was almost rigid.

Delances didn't understand: "He is a mage flying in the sky. Isn't it normal to fly in the sky?"

"No, no, no, I'm not flying in the sky, I'm sitting on a disk bigger than the Lord of the Ocean!"

"Floating City?!"

Delances was stunned for a moment: "Did he get it out so quickly?"

Calculating the time, it’s only less than eight months, right?

He quickly turned around, took a few long steps, and rushed to the 20-meter-high door of the golden hall. Then he saw the huge flying object slowly approaching in the sky.

It is more than 150 centimeters in diameter, disc-shaped, with a flat lower ball and a dark gray body. There are densely packed and neat holes on the lower ball.

It is indeed much larger than the Lord of the Ocean. When it is suspended at a height of about 600 meters and flies on the blue wave river at a neither fast nor slow speed, it makes people feel a frightening momentum.

It feels like this is not a power that mortals can master.

At this moment, the entire city of Raging Waves was alarmed. Countless people rushed out of their homes, climbed to a high place with a wide view, and looked at the behemoth rising up the river.

Both sides of the Bilang River were filled with dense crowds of spectators, ranging from traffickers and footmen to masters and ministers, all of whom could not remain calm.

Shock, horror, anxiety, terror, all kinds of emotions enveloped Raging Wave City, and they condensed as if they were real objects.

Delances stared blankly, feeling both shocked and envious in his heart.

If he could save some money, not screw up, and invest all his money in this floating city, then it would be him, Drancis, who is standing on the floating city and traveling through the Raging Waves City.

Countless people will definitely look up to him, and his reputation will spread quickly throughout the Golden Land.

such a pity!

After a while, the floating city arrived near Thunder Castle. Three figures floated down from the floating city and quickly flew towards Thunder Castle.

There are three people, namely Rosen, Heya Jiali, and the Duchess.

The three of them also saw Drancis, and quickly floated towards the door of the golden hall. After a while, they landed at the door of the golden hall.

"Father~"

"Father-in-law~"

"Delan~"

The three of them greeted the Duke separately.

Drancis's disappointed mood calmed down a little. Although he did not create the floating city, at least it still belonged to the Storm Duke's family.

The family's glory is naturally his glory.

Although it's a little uncomfortable, it's better than nothing.

So, Delances held his head high and acted like his father-in-law.

"Rosen, have those rebel lords' legions been defeated?"

"We have been defeated. All the rebellious lords and their families have been imprisoned and are waiting for the trial of my father-in-law."

Delances felt greatly relieved, and a thought flashed through his mind: ‘Now I finally don’t have to pay back the money. ’

Debt-free and light.

Then a smile appeared on his face: "You did a very good job."

Just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he remembered the conversation he had at night, and his face darkened again: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"Are you forcing me to announce my resignation? Can I make way for you?"

Rosen spread his hands and said, "Father-in-law, there are many people here, so why don't we go into the palace to talk?"

"Okay, then let's go into the palace and talk."

The four of them entered the golden hall together.

Arriving at the center of the hall, standing around various works of art created by countless masters, Drancis walked straight towards the Lightning Spear in the center of the hall.

He has to hold the artifact to speak confidently.

But as soon as he walked five meters away from the artifact, a light flashed around the artifact, and a woman appeared.

This person was about 1.65 meters tall, with a pretty face and a round and delicate figure. She was wearing a clean and simple knee-length silk dress. She looked like a female apprentice studying at the Storm Magic Academy.

However, his thick long dark golden hair and dark golden eyes clearly showed his identity as the Son of God, and the aura he inadvertently leaked from his body made Delances feel very palpitated.

Of course Drancis knew the other party and immediately saluted respectfully: "Saint Fertana, I salute you."

Fertana reached out and grabbed the Lightning Spear, waved it lightly with one hand a few times, and said with a smile: "Delan~ My descendants, there is no need to hold the weapon in your hand when talking as a family."

Upon hearing this, Delances' heart thumped, and he suddenly felt something was wrong: "Ancestor, you don't support me and want to pass on the family title to an outsider?!"

Fertana sighed softly: "I don't want to either, but who told you not to live up to expectations?"

Drances suddenly looked dejected, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart: "Ancestor, Rosen built the floating city. It is indeed a huge honor."

"But he also just violated tradition and arrested the big lords of the cities in the Eastern Territory. Without those big lords, the major cities will definitely fall into chaos quickly."

"At this time, only I, the legitimate Storm Duke, have the ability to end the chaos in major cities."

Fertana smiled slightly and asked, "How do you plan to end the chaos?"

"Of course, we should select the second-level noble families in major cities, honor one of them, and make him the new great lord."

Fertana looked disappointed: "After working so hard, doesn't it mean that nothing has changed?"

Delances was startled: "What else can we do? Let all the cities return to Raging Wave City?"

He shook his head repeatedly: "Ancestor, this is simply not possible."

"Because it takes several days or even more than half a month for what happened in another city to be transmitted back to Raging Wave City. If my order is transmitted back again, and a month has passed, it will only lead to greater chaos. "

"The safest way is to delegate power to the new lord and let him manage it on his behalf. If something goes wrong, hold the lord accountable."

Fertana smiled faintly: "Delan~ Do I, your ancestor, don't understand these principles, so do I need you to teach them again?"

Although he was smiling and his tone was not cold, Delances could hear a trace of impatience from it.

He suddenly felt panic in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do?"

Fertana looked at Rosen: "Tell me."

Rosen took a step forward: "The Eastern Territory no longer needs great lords. The major cities will be integrated into a whole, all ruled by the Duke of Storm and his ministers."

"As for the problem of poor information communication, there is currently a ready-made solution, which is to use aircraft to transport emergency information back and forth."

Delances was startled: "Isn't an airplane very expensive? Can it be used as a trustworthy thing?"

Rosen smiled: "Father-in-law, so far, I have sold 80 aircraft, and the number of aircraft I use on Beluga Island for my own use has reached 120. As long as 10 are allocated for delivering letters, the problem of delayed information will be solved. Is there a problem?"

A plane taking off from Hongyan City, which is the farthest place from Nutao City, will arrive in one hour at most, but if it is Baisha City, which is 500 meters away, it will not even take half an hour.

Delances was horrified when he heard this: "So, you want to be the only king of the East?"

Rosen shook his head: "No, it just brought the Eastern Territory closer together."

"But to truly govern the Eastern Territory, we must not only rely on the Duke of Storms, but also rely on the help of countless outstanding talents from government departments at all levels. And if we want the Eastern Territory to develop better, we need the joint efforts of countless mages."

Delances smiled coldly.

"Of course your idea is good, but the reason why tradition is tradition is because it has countless supporters among the people. If you forcefully change the tradition, it will definitely cause a tsunami of resistance among the people."

"When the time comes, how will you rule a group of uncooperative people? Are you going to put your gun to their heads and force them to obey?"

Rosen naturally knew this truth, and he had already thought of countermeasures.

"Father-in-law, those who have real interests at stake and are firmly opposed to changing the tradition are actually only the lords and nobles. The big lord is gone, and there are still small lords. Naturally, they have to work hard to protect their own interests."

"But as long as these small lords no longer exist, there will be no resistance, and instead they will get the support of countless civilians."

Delances was startled: "Why is there no little lord?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Of course it was you, father-in-law, who did it."

Delances was startled and shook his head repeatedly.

"Me? I wouldn't do such a bad thing!"

Unexpectedly, Rosen became serious.

"Father-in-law, the big lord rebelled openly and has been deprived of his glory by you. But the big lord dares to rebel, but he needs the support of the small lords. Are these small lords innocent?"

Drances nodded: "Of course they are guilty."

"So, it's better for my father-in-law to take this opportunity to conduct a thorough reckoning and uproot the old forces. Then the resistance to change will be completely gone."

Hearing this, Delances finally understood: "You want me to be the villain, and after I destroy the old forces, you will naturally succeed to the throne?"

"My father-in-law is wise."

Delances was furious: "You are very smart, I won't do it!"

Fertana said: "No, Delan, you have to do it!"

Drances almost cried.

"Ancestor, this is too bullying!"

Fertana said seriously: "You are the one who caused the situation to become like this, so you have to be responsible for ending it."

Drances was helpless, but still very unwilling.

"Okay, then even if I take care of the bad guys and destroy all the old forces in the East, why does he ascend to the throne?"

"I know you are going to say that he built the Floating City, but the Floating City is about force. If one can rise to power by force alone, then in the future someone with stronger force will appear, can he also become a duke?"

"Besides, even if it's force, it's just mortal force. Is God afraid of this?"

"It's okay to pass it on to Jiali. Why should we give the title to a person with a foreign surname?"

Fertana smiled lightly: "Stop struggling, Delan, Davorens has agreed."

Delances was shocked: "Why?!"

"Because he broke through the master cliff at the age of 17, and because he discovered the basic logical laws of mana, and based on these laws, he created this new era floating city."

"And this is just the beginning. In the future, we will build a truly extraordinary floating city to fight against the legendary dragon!"

"I'm just asking you, do you know these?"

"No, you can't, you can only spend money!"

Delances was dumbfounded when he heard this, and turned to look at Rosen: "You are already an Archmage?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "I'm lucky to be promoted."

Delances suddenly felt very complicated. He subconsciously looked at his daughter Heya Jiali, with disappointment on his face: " Jiali, I have invested at least six million crowns in you, why haven't you been promoted yet?"

If my daughter could be promoted to master early, she would be able to gather a huge reputation in the mage world, and the debt crisis might not break out.

Heya Jiali looked embarrassed and annoyed: "Father, there are many people who have not been promoted, and I am not the only one!"

Delances was startled and immediately became furious: "How dare you speak to me like that now?!"

In his impression, his daughter was very well-behaved. She would do whatever he said and would never talk back to him. But now her appearance has completely changed.

Heya Jiali hid behind Rosen: "Father, I have a husband now. What's the point of yelling at me? Do you have the ability to yell at my husband?"

Delances glanced at Rosen and wanted to yell, but he didn't have the confidence.

Rosen immediately comforted him: "Father-in-law, start working quickly. After you finish, I still have to integrate the resources of the East and research the extraordinary floating city."

"After all, there is not much time left before the extraordinary chaos."

Drancis was shocked again: "Extraordinary Chaos. Ancestor, is it true?"

"Really, so you must be capable."

Delances sighed, completely convinced.

"Okay, I'll be the villain."

The Duchess, who had been silent, said: "Delan, let me do it with you."

Delances felt much relieved: "Thank you, Gila."

Although he lost his title, at least he still had a wife who loved him.

The Duchess sighed: "I'm mainly afraid that you'll mess things up again."

"."

Drances suffered another psychological blow.
