Outside the conference room, the emperor's court guards were wearing sky blue uniforms, holding sticks, standing upright and straight. On the chest of the uniform, there was a black and white wings that surrounded each other and rotated, called "Bipopoles". Thunder Bai remembered this strange word, but what was the name of the soldier? It seemed that Canterlen Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
He couldn't remember the name of the soldier standing at the door in front of him, so Lei Tingbai had to vaguely pass by with his tongue. Fortunately, the guard saw her embarrassment and did not mind - it seemed that he must have called the wrong name. He reached out and pulled open the heavy wooden door and shouted in a loud voice: "Magic Consultant Miss Thunder Bai is here!"
"Sorry, I'll try to remember your name next time." Thunder Bai said to the guard in a low voice.
The soldier also lowered his voice and replied like a whisper: "Just call us guards directly. My name doesn't make me feel more proud of this position." Not only him, the guards on the other side of the door also nodded to express their agreement.
"Okay, thank you." Lei Tingbai stuck out his tongue and walked through the door. Since Feiqi became emperor, the title of magic consultant has been vacant for a long time. Until recently, the Magic Research Institute was established, Lei Tingbai took over this position. In the Magic Empire, several consultants of His Majesty the Emperor were at the highest level of power, and it was a surprise that Lei Tingbai was given this position. If it weren't for the strong confidence and Feiqi's constant encouragement - especially the constant encouragement - Lei Tingbai would not dare to accept it.
So far, there are only five consultants, among which Tron, a military consultant, only needs to obey the command and obey orders, and does not need to give any opinions, so it can only be considered half. With His Majesty the Emperor, the number of people in the power center is only five and a half, but he has to make decisions on the affairs of the entire empire. Hey, thinking about it, there are only twelve guards of Feiqi, just twice the power center. From the perspective of scarcity, the outside world... does have proud capital.
"Here, come here to sit here. I'll leave you some cookies baked by Shani and help me eat more." Feiqi saw Thunder Bai coming in and waved to her from afar. Since the inner court was very small, the meeting table was only the size of a family table, and it looked even more like when the food was placed.
Tron is not here today. In front of him, there is a silver plate with more than twenty suspiciously dark brown pieces, which exudes the strange smell of bolognese and fennel. "Don't worry, cookies are harmless, let's destroy it before we start working." Feiqi said: "Actually, when in the wild, Shani cooks very delicious. She is just not good at making cookies..."
"Luckily, I brought the space bag today." Shani laughed and stuffed most of the cookies in, just took the last piece and put it in her mouth. If the queen asks, she will at least answer the taste of the cookies.
Feiqi snorted, not stopping her from doing anything, and the others tacitly pretended not to see it. "Okay, you all come, then let's talk about the serious matter." Feiqi put a stack of papers full of runes on the table. "This is something I got back from the Second World, you can see."
Speaking of runes and spells, only Fitch and Shani could understand them. "Your Majesty, I'm a waste of time to see them." Goode raised his thick wrinkled eyelids and said, "What conspiracy are being prepared for in the Second World?"
"They are improving the teleportation array." Feiqi took out his old wand and waved it, depicting the posture of the Second World Apple nuclear main planet and the floating continent in the air. "This is the Second World. They have built a super strong teleportation array, and you can see that thing that looks like an eye. I call it the Blood Meteor Eye."
"Look big and stupid." Lei Tingbai knew everything, and she suddenly reached the point.
"They are improving this magic circle, these are the manuscripts I snatched from them." Feiqi rubbed his face as he said this, and his stiff expression seemed to have been injured for this action. "In the past, their magic circle was blocked by the floating continent and could only be used at a specific time. Now they want to correct this shortcoming and can activate blood-colored meteors at any time. The ideas and techniques they use in the improvement come from the strategic teleportation magic circle. They are copying my stuff!"
Lei Tingbai quickly looked through the notes in his hand, then nodded: "It's true, from the Second World..."
"I don't need you to testify for me!" Feiqi interrupted Thunder Bai's words and said, "What I want is to fight back, counter, and eliminate the enemies in the second world. If the blood-colored meteor occurs again, I can ensure that Tawugang City will not be lost, and I will definitely eliminate all the invaders, but before I complete these battles, will there still be innocent people dead? If I want to establish a unified and powerful empire, I must protect the people of the empire and eliminate the enemies of the empire! I want to attack the enemy and push the front line from Yongli Continent to the second world - this will be the slogan and flag of my founding."
Goode was shocked and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, I am forgiving, now is not the time to attack. Our..."
"So now is the time to wait for the beating?" Feiqi became more and more aggressive. He denied other people's opposition ten times faster than before. "Good, I know what you are worried about. It's just that the spring seeds are coming soon. The working group is under great pressure and the financial pressure is very high. It is not suitable to send young men into the military camp at this time - they can bring greater benefits in the fields and keep the empire stable and healthy development, right?"
"Uh...yes." Good's face turned red. Although he was robbed, he had to admit it in the face of facts.
"I didn't say that the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow or next week," Fitch said, pointing to the stack of notes on the table, "How do you think I brought these things? The casters in the Second World would rather die than protect their projects. I have fulfilled some of them. The progress of the enemy will definitely be affected, which gives us some time to prepare."
Goode finally found the opportunity and asked, "Just prepare if you have time... How much time does it have?"
"How do I know? Do you ask me to go to the places where the casters in the Second World are the most densely packed, the most tightly defended, and then spy out the progress of the project?" Feiqi waved his hand: "Good, you are very good at managing the treasury and maintaining loyalty, but war and magic are indeed not yours. We have to fight back against the current operations in the Second World, and the faster the better. After all, it is better to start first. If they complete the transformation of the teleportation array, they can make various monsters appear everywhere like our Hell Knights. Do you like the situation where the fields are set on fire?"
"Of course not! Your Majesty the Emperor." Goode said: "How do you fight back? Transfer the Knights of Hell to the Second World?"
"If the Knights' Order's size is five times larger, I can consider this suggestion." Feichi shook his head and suddenly said, "I want to start recruiting soldiers. It is not to recruit farmers who still want to plow the fields and craftsmen who want to work, but to recruit soldiers from all the nobles and knights in the world who are still alive."
"Good idea! Your Majesty is wise!" Minister of intelligence Mathers suddenly cheered loudly. "The Second World is the public enemy of all countries in Yongli Continent. Those rulers, nobles and knights cannot enjoy the peace that Your Majesty has won in vain! If they do not work, they lack the spirit of chivalrous spirit and fighting will, and are not worthy of being rulers. If they do work, they are following His Majesty's orders. It is good no matter how you look at it!"
Feiqi nodded with a smile, looking very useful. Goode wanted to splash cold water when he saw it, but he was repelled when he was doing the same thing, so he winked at Lei Tingbai and handed her the cold water basin.
"Your Majesty," Thunder Bai didn't have so many political ideas, she considered more about the causes and consequences. "If you give orders to the nobles of other countries, will it be considered as annexing their territory, and thus create more defense and friction?"
"I just want to annex them, there is no need to hide it." Feiqi waved his hand and said, "So what if I tell them openly? I will become the only ruler of the entire mundane world within three years. The best outcome of the existing nobles, knights and other rulers is to become war lords in the second world, and retain some of the power of command and rule in the process of fighting for me."
"This won't work." Eddie shook his head: "While depriving them of their existing land, they also have to drive them to fight. It is contrary to the basic principles to expand territory for those who have deprived them of their land..."
"If everything is based on the truth, magic shouldn't exist." Feiqi snorted coldly: "What's the difficulty of letting the toad fly to the sky to eat the swans. In the field of magic, it's actually more difficult to change the toads."
"It is evil to use magic to control and change other people's thoughts!" Lei Tingbai could no longer sit still, she jumped up and said.
"I want to conquer their land, and I will capture them all. Fighting for me is their only choice for leaving prison alive." Feiqi said: "Thunder White, I can give them a choice. Those who are willing to obey me will be better solved. If you have enough military achievements and service time, you can change to freedom. Those who are unwilling to obey me can choose whether to accept my magic transformation. My spells can eliminate all their resistance, disgust, and resistance to this order without affecting any other aspect. This allows them to get rid of their psychological burden and better complete the combat mission. If you have the opportunity to leave prison, you have the opportunity to gain freedom. How about it than staying in prison for a lifetime? Tell me, is this choice good or evil?"
"This... what do you say?" Lei Tingbai covered his mouth and quickly looked through the goddess' memory, but there was no direct answer. She ignored the embarrassment of standing alone and being watched by others, and finally said: "If they have other ways to get freedom from prison, that is kind! You just use not bad enough to compare with the most miserable thing, it is a quibble, it has nothing to do with good or evil!"
"Very well, it seems you admit that it has nothing to do with good and evil, so next time I say I am more patient when doing evil things, at least I can't open my mouth after seeing it clearly and thinking it through! You can't be a child forever." Feiqi reached out to sit down and said, "Finally speaking, I will definitely not raise prisoners of war in vain, and will let them work as much as they can. In the past, the nobles all established themselves on combat, horseback riding, fencing, and archery were training they would receive, and other labor skills... I don't think much of it. But I will teach them, whether they are farming or craftsmen, as long as they earn enough money to redeem themselves and swear to obey the laws of the empire, they can come out of prison - but in comparison, the battle will be faster. So you can all be satisfied, right?"
"Your Majesty, you are so kind, and you have also taught them the skills to survive after leaving the cell!" Mathers clapped, and almost blew a whistle. "They can earn money to support themselves, so they are not very willing to choose to be robbers. Which of the noble knights can't fight? It's just a useless arrogance, not accepting His Majesty's discipline! I want to deal with it..."
"Don't even think about it! How can those prisoners use it not where you should reach out." Feiqi spoke in a reprimanding tone. Mathers quickly apologized, but he did this on purpose. He was also sure that His Majesty the Emperor understood the truth, which was a tacit understanding. "Do you guys have any opinions? Is this arrangement OK?"
Execution of labor and abolishing abuse are the provisions in the Code, and no one can find any problems. Lei Tingbai still wants to be stubborn, but she also knows that this is just a child and parents, students and teachers, not what an important official in the inner court should do. "I have no objection. I just declare war on the whole world so bluntly and want to annex them. Isn't this a bit... arrogance?"
"If I hadn't been waiting for more working groups, I could have dealt with all the rulers within a year." Feiqi said that he wanted to lock them up, but made a beheading gesture, so no one was sure of His Majesty's remarks. "Our enemy has mobilized the power of a world, and I will do this, and as soon as possible! As soon as possible!"
"Okay, I will coordinate." Eddie came out to control the situation at this time to avoid Feiqi being too excited. She said: "Your Majesty, the task of preparing materials for the ten magic towers you assigned before has been basically completed. The stone, wood and metal of the building have been determined to ensure supply. However, the gap in the rune board is too large, and the Royal Magic Workshop has been filled with the production of toy wands, which may delay the progress."
Feiqi uttered, returned to the seat and closed his eyes and pursed his lips. In fact, this problem is easy to solve. He just takes the Shani Lingke to hell and then uses the devil to produce it. No matter how much the output is, Feiqi has more considerations.
"Thunder White, I want more magic craftsmen and greater runeboard production. This problem is left to the Magic Academy. There will be rewards for completing it, but it will not be completed..." Feiqi paused for a while. Everyone thought he wanted to impose severe punishment, but he would not expect him to let it go: "If it is not completed, there will be a backup plan. I will look for the Fallen Slave again."
The Empire's Code prohibits slavery, but it is aimed at the living. The fallen slaves who go to hell do not die in law, but in custom, people go to hell to die, so they can also be considered dead, which depends on what method of interpretation is used. Since the imperial system is adopted, the final right to interpret the law is in the hands of Fitch, and his words are the truth.
Thunder Bai could only nodded and agreed. Now there are seven people in the Magic Institute. Except for her and Liz, the head of the Treasure Female Tribe, they are all graduates from the Magic School, and their strength is still quite weak. However, few people are not an excuse. Even if you encounter difficulties, you must not give up without trying hard.
The Magic Institute is currently studying the honeycomb magic array. That is learning and cannot be considered a job. Solving the shortage of magic craftsmen is their first job, so it is even more important. Lei Tingbai secretly clenched his fists and cheered him up. Feiqi has given her ample allowance and has exempted her from the punishment of failure. What else can he ask for?
Chapter completed!
