Utopia

"Huh... Why is it so cold outside..."

"Oh? Sister Xinduo, you are finally back?"

"What do you mean by finally back... Could it be that I have forgotten my child..."

Although she was teased by her husband's sister, Xinduo, who had just returned from the local Black Dragon Temple, took off her coat and hung it on the pole-type clothes hanger, then took off her boots and ran to see her child.

"Hey... Brother Marong... You..."

"Don't look at me like that, okay? I... Thank you."

"Who asked you to say thank you like that... The child is getting more and more active as he grows up, and Brother Marong, this child, Ximu, seems to have the ability to absorb fire."

"You think so too?"

"Hey, you are his father, don't you know it best?"

Listening to the words of her adopted sister, who is also the godmother of her son Ximu, Gorman Marong, who had been busy all day, looked at Xinduo and Ximu, the mother and son.

Although he already knew his true life experience, Ximu, as the first child of him and Xinduo, was suspected to have some kind of magical power that could adjust the temperature of the outside world.

Therefore, Xin Duo went to the local temple today to negotiate with the temple priest.

Let me put it this way.

In fact, if it were me back then, the awakened earth magic power of Maron would mainly strengthen my physique, thereby reducing the chance of getting injured when I go out.

"I know. But you also understand that I, I don't want to send my son to the cult."

"Why? Do you know how much the neighbors next door envy Sister Xin Duo, the priest?"

"Envy her... well..."

"Alas. Brother, aren't you a bit wasteful? There are not many special quotas in the cult. If you don't want them, several neighbors next door are waiting!"

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at present, install the latest version. ]

"I..."

As his sister said, since Xin Duo is a member of the itinerant priests of the Secret Keeper Sect, the state religion of the Kingdom of Nigan, he and Xin Duo's children have the opportunity to become special education objects of the Secret Keeper Sect.

That is to say, his son, Gorman Shim, who has black hair, blue eyes and white skin similar to his mother but with certain differences, will be trained to be a professional priest.

At the same time, due to special provisions in the laws of the Kingdom of Negan, priests, as one of the few lifelong professions in the Kingdom of Negan, not only do not need to pay taxes, but also do not need to serve in the army, and can even enjoy special subsidies from the state.

Especially those who have made contributions to the Kingdom of Negan are qualified to leave their names in the history books of the kingdom - this is a major feature of the Kingdom of Negan. Even if the meritorious people written in the history books pass away, their descendants will have considerable reputation and become a famous family in the kingdom (that is, aristocrats in the traditional sense).

So including Xinduo, the members of the Gorman family are eager to send Shim to the temple to receive high-quality teaching to become a priest.

But Maron himself has some concerns. After all, the profession of priest... As far as he knows, there are one man and nine women. With such a ratio of men to women, Shim will really not become...

After all, if he stays with female members for a long time, will Shim have the problem of feminization? However, he also asked his grandmother Farah, who told him a lot without hesitation, and she wished that Shim could marry more wives in the future.

Obviously, his grandmother was a survivor who had witnessed the battle of Blackwater Town and the men in her family falling one after another in the flames of war. Since the secret of her life was revealed, this grandmother Farah even thought about whether the descendants of her two husbands could marry each other.

If not, Farah also has a sister Hermione, who has the same number of descendants as her two husbands.

Anyway, he looked at the moonlight outside, and he probably had no right to object.

I hope that his grandmother and Xinduo will not do anything weird to Shim.

As a father, he can't stand this.

At the same time, Abu Beanna, who was riding a four-legged mecha home, was demonstrating it to his wife, Princess Jiaqi, Queen Winnie and King Gru in the palace.

"Hmm... Trial Model No. 1 mecha, codenamed Scythe... Maximum height of three meters, maximum length of four legs spread out to five meters, load capacity of 3 kilograms..."

"Gru?"

"Although this Scythe mecha was never intended to be used as a military vehicle, it was purely used for mountain logistics transportation; but the manual here clearly states that the empty weight is 2.7 kilograms... Winnie, 3 kilograms..." Android and Apple are both available. 】Kilograms of load capacity..."

"What else do you want? I like this scythe mecha. Not to mention the mountains, it can also go through some small alleys in the city where normal vehicles are difficult to pass."

"Ah?"

"I say, don't always think about using it to fight. Our people are not dog-headed people, and they don't have the ability to shout and kill every day. But...if this one is shorter, smaller, and equipped with a stirrup..."

"This...Winnie, what era is it? Do you still want to see traditional cavalry?"

Listening to her parents' discussion, Princess Jiaqi, who brought her sisters and her daughter to watch her husband operate, thought that such a four-legged mecha should be used for another purpose, rescue.

Especially in places where ordinary vehicles are not useful, such a four-legged mecha can definitely be used to rescue the wounded.

The only thing is that no matter how fast or slow the four-legged mecha goes, the problem of bumps and undulations will definitely not be small.

And there is another point, she is a little afraid that this thing will easily fall into a pit and can't get out?

So, this is also an important reason why the Military Affairs Department has never liked walking mechas.

Yes.

Compared with the inherent concept of "pursuing absolute advancement" in the outside world, the Military Affairs Department is actually the most "unprogressive" organization in the Kingdom of Negan.

After all, the military expenditure of the Military Affairs Department is not transformed by magic. Every penny on it is paid by the people in taxes or the profits of a very small number of foreign trade income projects.

For this reason, the concept of being able to use it has long occupied a mainstream position in the Military Affairs Department of the Kingdom of Negan. The arms race is a thankless task. Even without other officials in Congress expressing their opinions, the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs will object.

Moreover, once the arms race begins, in addition to burning money on a large scale, the situation in the surrounding countries will inevitably become tense.

Especially the neighboring indigenous vassal states, they are now entering the era of reform.

This has led to the demise of the traditional feudal system implemented by the Kahn Empire, and also caused the ascetic church, which could have been the core of the empire's ideology, to face a major crisis...
