Chapter 458 Stage Play
"His Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound, and he will defeat the enemy's conspiracy again!"
"The second world is extremely rampant, and assassination of villains everywhere!"
"The emperor blocks disaster for me, I serve the emperor - the Hell Knights recruit warriors again, kill to the second world, and avenge the blood-colored meteor's revenge!"
Feiqi used the soul power stored in the territory to supplement the consumption of the ink of the mind. After repairing the body of the contract demon, he returned to Yongli Continent, directly turning the rumor that "the emperor was split in half" into a joke. He and Shani appeared hand in hand on the balcony of the palace, waved to the crowd in Tawugang City, and no one dared to question his powerful strength. Then, through this incident, he asked the Minister of Intelligence Mathers and the Director of Interior Eddie to conduct large-scale publicity through the channels of the minstrel and the working group.
He immediately became a living legend.
People in Yongli mainland grew up listening to legendary stories, and all envy those powerful and representatives of various beautiful qualities. However, most of the legends in the past were in books, and in the books of the church, which overlapped with the saints and the friends of the saints, and were exactly the same as the tombstones. Only the dead saints in the Church of the Goddess of Truth need to be concluding those who can write them into the storybook.
Because Feiqi was the only one who refused the goddess' invitation and successfully left the kingdom of God to return to the world, he was the only one who became a saint alive. Later, he resisted the blood-colored meteor, defeated the Terasquin monster alone, and survived the death of being sneak attacked by the enemy and his belly and chest torn apart. These deeds made him very consistent with the legend. Therefore, various legendary images that the church has erected for thousands of years have been slowly placed on Feiqi.
This is not that Feiqi wants to take the attack, but that people need, hope, and expect Feiqi to have all the legendary abilities to give himself a sense of security.
At present, it can be said that among all the kings and other rulers in Yongli Continent, Feichi's prestige is the highest ever. So those ministers can be very happy, and Feichi rarely smiles on his face, but he doesn't agree. The people in Yongli Continent rely too much on others to save, including gods, church pastors, legends, heroes and righteous knights. Their souls put their hopes outside themselves, which is of no benefit.
If you hope for others, the soul can only emit a weak power of faith, but it is less than the entire power of a soul.
Feiqi knew that this was not good, but he was a vested interest, so he remained silent. The benefits of increasing prestige for him were obvious. The subjects of the empire were more united and obedient, and he also formed a strong pressure on the outside with his invincible image. This time he did not need to visit the door, and many letters of surrender and joining the empire were already sent to the palace through various channels.
"There must be a special department to take charge of this matter. The pressure on the working group is already very high, and Eddie is too tired." Feiqi thought for a long time and found that he did not have a strong enough and trustworthy helper.
"Who can I call back?" Feiqi thought for a while, but couldn't find the point. Although he dominated the entire empire and was the strongest legend in people's hearts, his talent in spells and spells is not the ability to discover talents.
The important officials of the inner court in the empire were old acquaintances. Feiqi knew what they were good at and had already established trust. Most of the remaining candidates were left by Andrew's time, or recommended by his father. As an emperor, he only had to observe the general character of these people by observing the soul, and by asking questions and reviewing the answers, ensuring that they did not deceive themselves. He had no energy to do this from the selection of talents from below.
"Shani, if there is no important thing in the afternoon, follow me home." Fitch said to Shani. "It's not the one in Shaki Manor, but to meet my father. You prepare for it."
Shani was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression on her face, and then nodded.
Feichi rarely goes home. He spends most of his time in the palace and occasionally accompanys Shani to Shaki Manor to relax. Shani thought about it. Since he met Feichi, he can count the number of times he went to the Hall family manor with one hand.
However, Shanny has been there many times, mainly to visit the Countess Hall and tell them about Feich's busy work at the moment, so that they can understand it. In fact, this kind of thing is unnecessary. With teleportation, wouldn't she go back as long as she has a few more minutes of free time? Shanny knew that her Fitch was not exactly the Fitch of the Countess Hall family, but he didn't need to alienate his relationship with the Hall family!
"Do you need to prepare something special?" Shani put down the "General History of the Nobles in the Yongli Continent" in her hand, raised her head and asked.
Feiqi thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to prepare anymore, let's go now. Sam, you don't have to follow us, we will be back in the evening. Tell the guards to take a break, there is no need to mobilize the troops to come."
He took Shani's hand, took two steps forward, and then walked through the space passage to the Earl Manor. Since Feich canceled all noble titles and treatments within the empire, there is no actual class division of Duke, Marquis, Bozinan. Earl Kante Hall was very dissatisfied with this policy, but he was angry that he had no place to post it, so he changed the name of the manor, which was called "Earl Manor".
One of the tasks of the Imperial Working Group was to prevent these former nobles from secretly forming rebels, but no matter how they investigated, they dared not find out where His Majesty the Emperor's father. So the name was preserved and hung at the iron gate at the entrance.
When he came last time, Feiqi melted the two bronze characters "Earl" with one finger, and then another piece of iron was added here. Feiqi didn't say anything after he knew it. This time he teleported it directly to the house and did not waste his mana and money at home.
"He was fishing in the pond, and Landon and Sheila were with him." Feich swept the manor with his detection magic, and then patted Shani's hand. "I have something to say to him, and I won't be with you for the time being."
"Okay, I'll go see my mother, and then call your younger brother and sister over." Shani let go of Feichi's arm. She was about to leave, but Feichi was pulled.
"Andrew's wife Carroll is with my mother, but I didn't see Delmond. You go and ask what's going on, how is Delmond doing in the territory."
Shani nodded, and while asking the servant to inform him, she walked in as she was familiar with the memory.
Since he was seriously injured and dying, and was forced to be rescued by Feiqi with the evil power of hell, Kante Hall "Earl" lost the protection of the divine power from the Kingdom of God and became a weak old man. He had to step down all his posts and enter a retirement life.
Fishing does not consume much physical energy, allows thoughts to float freely, and can pass the time, so it became Earl Hall's new hobby. There was only one small pond in the yard, but for his hobby, it was also expanded, and two canals were built to specifically move the living water from the river flowing through Tawugang City. After the iron fence and fishing net were arranged, the Earl's fishing pond was built.
Every day, as long as the weather allows, he wears a linen shirt—or switches to thick fur in cold weather—and comes here to pass the time with a huge straw hat and a small fishing rod. His third son, Landon and daughter Sheila sometimes accompany him, but he always urges these two people to do their own things and not waste time on him, the old man.
When the count frowned when he saw Feiqi coming from a distance, he frowned and was in a good mood. "You two should leave quickly, otherwise your brother will show his face again."
The wisdom that the old man gained from his life was very precious. As he expected, Feiqi walked forward for a while and stopped, and pointed a cold face at his younger brother and sister until they left the Count and walked quickly towards the mansion. After they left, Feiqi came to his father, moved a chair and sat down, and looked at the fish float floating on the water with his eyes.
"Are you unwilling to talk to them now? You are no longer a child, but as an imperial emperor, you are more arrogant."
"I have nothing to say. If education works, you would have succeeded long ago." Feiqi's face was expressionless, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him. "Father, I will not waste your time and mood in fishing, so I asked directly: Are there anyone in your pocket? I need talents who can handle the work related to surrendering aristocrats."
"It's gone, please find someone else. I've given the people in my hand first and then all of them. Now all that is left is the old comrades living in this manor. They have no ability except fighting and eating and drinking, just to eat and wait for death like me." The count picked up the fishing rod, the hook was empty, and the elf who took the bait and shook his tail, and slid into the depths with a slight sound.
Fitch hooked his finger and the gray-black fish was grabbed by the magical hand and lifted it away from the water. It struggled hard, but the scales that were usually slippery and were ineffective, and its invisible hand would not slip at all. It was soon thrown into the bucket beside it, and it was flapping alone in protesting the injustice of its own destiny.
"This kind of fish is not delicious, just throw it back." The Count glanced at him and sighed, then said to Fitch while putting new bait on the hook: "If you want talents, why don't you let them both try it."
"They two? They will only surprise me." Feiqi shook his head. He said nothing good, but only brought surprises to show that there is nothing to expect. Anything that is normal can be made even if it is made. But then he thought, if this matter is screwed up by them, there will still be many things to use. So Feiqi suddenly changed his mind: "Okay, if you no one recommends it, let them try it. At least the emperor's younger brother and sister can already represent the attitude of the empire and go to talk to those guys."
After Fitch said that, he stood up and left. "Wait!" The Count threw down the fishing rod and asked anxiously: "Do you want to make trouble? I feel that you want them to fail in the matter that they are responsible for, and then concentrate on implementing the countermeasures after the failure, and pull your younger brother and sister out and sacrifice them?"
"I won't sacrifice them, you can rest assured that."
"I'm even more worried when you say this." Kant Hall coughed twice, and then said, "You look very much like Aria back then. Every time he talked about conquering Feinberg, he had such a cold expression, no emotion at all. Their Aria family imprinted the conquering Feinberg and establishing a kingdom in their blood. Even if they could no longer get joy and sense of accomplishment from it, and although they were tired of it, they still launched attacks again and again. You are now as if you have lost your feelings, just doing something very cruelly. Domination of the whole world and conquering the second world has become your obsession, just like Feinberg was like Grand Duke Aria, right?"
"Yes, it's absolutely right." Feiqi admitted directly, which made the count completely unexpected. The son said to his father: "I am very clear about my state and analyzed its pros and cons. The current state is very necessary on the road to achieving the goal. Your recommendation gave me a new idea: instead of sending diplomats who I cannot confirm the result, it is better to send two of them, so that I can prepare early. Anyway, let them surrender or I hit them, the result will be the same, and the process will be basically the same."
"You are too arrogant, there is no benefit in this way."
Feiqi did not admit or refute, and he turned back: "There is no noble class in the empire. You are also arrogant and have no benefits at all with the title of earl."
"Fart! My earl has been fought back with real military merits. The victory I achieved in command and personal combat is enough to promote a civilian to an earl, twice! And my title of Templar, how many competitors have I defeated before I stand out from the training of the church? Why do you take away what I earned with my own hands?"
"You know what it is." Feiqi squatted down, took out the fish from the bucket, and threw it into the water. "If the fish had intelligence, would it laugh loudly because of escaping from death, or would it ask me why? But then again, can he understand the reason for what, and what does it have to do with me?"
"Feich, you have been the smartest since childhood, but it is easy to go on a wrong path. If you go right, you can build a powerful magic empire and hope to unify the entire Yongli continent. But if you go wrong, the harm you can cause is equally great." The count said: "I heard that you have become a living legend now, which is more worrying than the previous identity of a saint. Have you really thought about what you want? Have you thought about where to take the Hall family?"
Feiqi hummed twice, looked at the direction of the manor mansion, and saw through the window that his younger brother and sister were looking at this side. He moved his step, turned his back to them, and then said, "Father, if they don't do well enough, it means they don't have the ability. You might as well take them to retire with you, and don't appear in the political circle of the empire to cause trouble for me. He lacks ability and is weak, and has only one dead end. My enemies can split me from the inside out, and these two cannot survive at all."
"I understand." Earl Hall said: "If it works for you, it can't actually survive, right?"
