Thirty-eight bridge piles stand in the river, like a comb to separate the water flow. However, only bridge piles do not meet the conditions for passage. Feiqi clearly can allow the water element to complete the entire project, but he did not choose to do so.
"The Knights of Hell will protect a construction team to come here to complete the bridge deck. The working group that is entering will coordinate their relationship with the local people. The construction team will use local labor as much as possible and pay with gold coins. I plan to complete the construction of the bridge from next spring to summer."
Obviously, this is to air its control directly to Qiaodu City and completely clear out the influence of the Marce family. Feiqi had just announced this decision, and a huge roar came: the castle that was hollowed out by the flood finally collapsed. It looked down at this river that brought countless wealth to the Marce family for a lifetime, but eventually fell in, then was dismembered, taken away, and wiped away the traces.
The old nobles looked at the castle and thoughtful. One of them had an idea and raised his hand high and shouted to Fitch: "His Majesty the Emperor, the natural disasters encountered here are sympathetic. I am willing to pay a portion of the money for the construction and restoration of the bridge. In the future, we will be part of the empire. As long as the empire is good, we will be fine!"
Feiqi smiled rarely. Although this smile was fleeting, it was indeed a very obvious signal: this emperor also had a way to please. The nobles were racking their brains and thinking about other effective means. Feiqi waved to get them closer.
"Magic can be used in war. No one on this continent can block my attack, but this is far from the whole purpose of magic. Magic is the power to change the world, and construction has always been the biggest change to the world. It is a human activity that is more consistent in history than war. If you choose to join the empire, you cannot think that it is to avoid the gunfire of the Knights of the Hell, or when this empire falls, there is a chance to divide a piece of meat from the corpse. For your own interests, maintain this hard-won stable environment, so that you can have the opportunity to build and develop."
"As long as I don't fall, the biggest threat in the empire is a small group of bandits, and the guards can deal with them. The Knights of Hell don't bother with this kind of devil. How much price did you have to pay to achieve this effect in your territory? At the same time, you have to worry about whether your caravan will be in the neighboring land. Will it be bad there? That era has passed."
"Let your children who can read and read words and calculate and learn magic, or join the Second World Conquest Army to learn new combat methods, and these are the future. Those old ideas immersed in the past will always be vulnerable under the impact of the torrent of the new era."
As soon as the words were finished, the castle collapsed again, completely declaring that it had no value for restoration. Perhaps the Marce family could still find something valuable from the remaining ruins, but their most valuable part had completely disappeared.
Is Bridge City important? It is quite important, but this importance is only reflected in geographical location. Feichi's space spell allows him to ignore the geography to the greatest extent, while Monta Marce is still looking at this from the perspective of the old era, and as always, he estimates the advantages given to them by the geography.
The population that has gathered here cannot be measured by space spells. The camps built here naturally have sufficient human resources and material supplies, and of course it will be better than the assembly ground established in a desert. But this is still not the reason why Feiqi went through a lot of trouble in Qiaodu City. The reason actually has nothing to do with Qiaodu City, it only has two people.
After returning to Tawugang City and finally completing the lengthy ceremony, Sheila and Langdon were called to the study by Feiqi. "The matter that was handed over to you has finally come to an end, and your position as a negotiator has also disappeared at the same time. For your performance during this period, you should be rewarded and you should be punished."
Langdon frowned and looked at Sheila, and the girl just sighed slightly. Feige ignored these expressions and said directly: "The fundamental reason why those old nobles were willing to surrender was that they could not defeat me. They would either be conquered or surrender early to leave a decent and future, so there was no possibility of them continuing to maintain it, so your contribution was not that great, and this was still my victory."
"But you didn't find out that the son Monta Marce brought with him was fake. What have you been doing in his family for so long? Haven't you figured out the situation of his next generation? Are the handsome men and beautiful women sent by the old nobles fascinated? That Monta dared to wave his sword at me at the surrender conference. Why? Are the fake sons and fake daughters unable to bind his hands and feet? This negotiation was forcibly asked them to incorporate, otherwise they would die. What did you arrange for them to be like a spring breeze, laughing and hilarious, looking indifferent? If it weren't for taking care of you two and maintaining your 'hard-earned achievements', he would have been blown into pieces on the spot! Kill a chicken to show those monkeys."
Feichi stood up, a huge black shadow rose from behind him, covering the walls and ceiling, absorbing the light of the fireplace and chandeliers, immersing the entire room in a horror atmosphere. His voice was like an erupting volcano, with the momentum of destroying everything, and directly slapped the faces of the two young men.
"Get out! Go home, the politics of the empire has nothing to do with you. You don't know the right way, and you don't understand the power of the empire's sword. If you lean over, you may also hit the road of the empire's chariots and then be crushed to pieces! Get out, get out of here!"
Sheila was frightened and sobbed in a low voice. Langdon pulled her up with his trembling hands, and the two staggered away from the room. Their slightly embarrassed and pitiful look was seen by many people, and then spread quickly. So, even though they returned to the family, even though they were still Feige's younger brother and sister, they could not enter the management circle of the empire again.
Various rumors spread in Tawugang City, some of which were fueled by Feiqi's instruction. In the spring, the current patriarch of the Hall family, Kant Hall, who was Feiqi's father, announced that he would go to a warmer place to retire, so the whole family began to move away. They threw the residence in Tawugang City directly to Feiqi, and did not return to their former territory, nor went to the Lighthouse to take charge. Instead, they went south to the seaside, took a small old manor in the local area, and began to live a self-isolation life.
The Hall family is not short of money, at least not money for living. Therefore, their seclusion is considered a declaration of separation from His Majesty the Emperor and no longer participating in imperial affairs. Since Feich's family had no actual positions in the imperial political circle, the knights who were originally under the Count had served Feich for a long time and were not affected, so everyone found that the empire was still very stable.
There must be some dissatisfaction. Kante Hall's "Earl" expressed his clear statement that he did not want to see Feich again. The original words were: "Let him live with his throne!" His Majesty the Emperor was also very determined. He really stopped contacting the family and did not try to retain the old ministers who wanted to resign. As long as he could hand over the work, he would leave as long as he could. As a result, several old ministers of the Earl of the Hall family were also turned away after returning. Kante Hall did not want to get involved in political affairs at all, so he drove these people away. Feich ignored the past and invited them back, but was still in his original position.
After a while, everyone understood that the division of the Hall family was a foregone conclusion. But the result was clear, but the reason? Was it just for the two young people to make mistakes in dealing with the Marce family? Not only them, but many other nobles were deceived and planned a engagement with several young people introduced by Monta. Of course, no matter who they saw in Tawugang City, they believed that the person who could marry in the end would definitely be a real person. Monta Marce would not dare to forge his family to deceive for the rest of his life. Everyone can understand the reason why he was afraid of the emperor and did not dare to bring his real family. This matter was originally not a big deal, but it was exposed. Who can still have a light on his face in this matter?
The sword that cuts on the emperor's shoulder is also a big problem. Even if the emperor's hair is not injured, according to custom, this kind of thing should be at least one sword and one sword. Let Fitch Hall cut Monta Marce with one sword? No one believes that Monta can survive.
So he died and committed suicide in a depressed manner. Many people said he was frightened, but Feiqi knew very well that Monta saw the Knights of Hell, the working group and the construction team in Qiaodu City, and completed control in less than a winter, replacing their family's three hundred years of status. This is the main reason for the depression to die.
In any case, the pace of the empire's expansion was not hindered at all, and there was no force that could affect the expansion in the foreseeable period. Although the empire still had problems in all aspects such as economy, construction, education, etc., it was extremely stable and unshakable in politics and military. In addition, it was under sufficient importance to food production and did not have military force, so it was impossible to get into chaos.
This winter announced that the empire would unify the Yongli continent in a short time. An emperor who could turn the territory distance to zero through space teleportation is qualified to rule all land. It is obvious that the empire needs a large number of management talents and should produce a strong bureaucratic class. However, the emperor did not open his arms to the old nobles, and all places still adopt the working group model. Only those who study through magic schools and at least master basic magic abilities can enter the working group and become the core.
The Revi Magic Empire will definitely be a mage empire, and the next ruler will also emerge from the mage. This is a consensus. Just like all empires, the issue of heirs is the most concerned issue of the ruling and management classes, and everyone hopes to stabilize their current status. However, His Majesty the Emperor has never thought about this issue at all, has never mentioned it on any occasion, and has never even participated in related topic discussions. The current strength of the empire is entirely due to the emperor's strong ability. The next emperor, even the son of Feiqi, cannot guarantee the continuation of the empire if he is not strong enough.
So before spring came, a voice began to appear in the empire: the next emperor of the magic empire might come from a magic school. The most powerful and most prestigious mage would be the heirs of the empire. This voice made more people want to enter the magic school, thus making the quality of students here unprecedentedly good.
Feiqi didn't care about the heir because the heir was contrary to his plan. Anything that was not in line with his plan must be abandoned - unless it was related to Shani. After three months, Shani collected enough blood and quality, and her snake hair was forced to peel off, and she changed her short hair style for the first time in her life.
With these things, Feiqi came to the Devil Fortress on the floating continent of the Second World. Three Deep Demons and Eight Horned Demons had gathered here, and was preparing to launch a second impact under the command of Yaka - an attack on the second divine crystal storage point.
After detailed investigation, the second storage point did not have any god-like enemies, but was full of necromancers, which were also difficult opponents. The Creator and Mutation conducted so many experiments on creating creatures, created a large number of corpses, and gathered into a paradise for the undead. Since the situation of the last two storage points has not been understood, it is not a good thing to keep other deep culprits staying for a long time, so Yaka decided to promote the second impact.
"Just do it, I'm optimistic about your action this time." Feiqi appeared in the Devil's Fortress in the appearance of a contract demon. He didn't want to stay for a long time or command again, but was determined to try to find Shani's relatives. "You are busy with your affairs, don't worry about me. When you encounter problems, use the teleportation gem to come back. I can give you more opportunities, it's nothing."
Hearing this, Yaka was a little sad, but she had no other choice but to restore her reputation and trust with her own victory. Feichi waved her hand at her, and headed lightly to the core of the Devil Fortress. There, the Magic View Great Prophecy Scheme was waiting for him.
The magic array is designed to monitor and find divine crystals. Generally, the devil cannot modify it, but it is not difficult for Fitch. He used Shani's blood and body tissue as the basis to find things of homologous and similarity in the entire Second World, and conducted a full twelve hours of continuous spell casting. After continuous excavation, he captured the clearest signal on a floating road without air, water and creatures.
It was a floating continent of ships, covered by rocks as a whole, like a hard bone pulled out from the depths of the earth. There were no cracks, gaps or passages entering the interior on it, so the devils always believed that there was no internal structure. There was no air on it, which also limited the time the devil was active on it. In short, this was a big stone that even the devil did not have the idea of ​​greed.
Exploring it is like exploring space, which is not an easy thing - even with magic. Feiqi can use space spells to lock an area, save air, form an oxygen mask, and prolong his activity time. However, considering that the signal position determined by the Great Prophecy is inside the rock, he has another method: to transmit it directly to the rock.
He opened the teleportation channel, dug a hole in the rock by replacing it, then kept the continuous connection between the two sides, and then used the wind-making spell to continuously blow the wind inward. So, there was a hole filled with breathable air inside the ship-shaped floating continent, and Feiqi walked in and continued to dig down as usual.
The hard and thick rock layer was very strong, and some thin fine gold mines were mixed in the cracks of the rock, and the ground-digging insects could not chew on it. Only by casting a spell to turn them into mud and then transporting them to the other side of the space passage could Feiqi continue to move forward. After two hundred meters of digging, mixed soil suddenly appeared in the rock, and then the soil became more and more, and there were fewer and fewer rocks, and a large amount of humus accumulated. Not long after this, when Feiqi saw the plant root system, he dug through the soil layer and drilled out like a mole.
