Chapter 1001 Late News (Part 1)

The Kingdom of Hera, a country road

This path is a dirt road, which is better in normal times. When it rains, it will become muddy. If it is sunny and the soil is dry and you walk faster, it will easily cause dust to rise. If you run by quickly, it will definitely be a disaster for other passers-by.

In normal times, people passing by this road will consciously relax their steps. Even if they don’t think about others and can breathe more easily, they will pay attention.

On this morning, it was another sunny day. There were many people walking on this country road because the sun would show its vicious side at noon, and people like to travel before noon.

Talking and laughing, or chatting are all ways to relieve boredom on the road.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the other end of the road. Then, several fast horses almost rushed past the bodies of these passers-by because they were in a hurry to rush, so the horses were galloping very fast, which not only scared some passers-by, but also brought a large area of ​​dust.

"Ah---Snee! Ah-Snee! How do these guys rush to the road?"

"Bah! So much rustic! Is it okay to run so fast?"

"Ahem cough cough..."

While dust spreads everywhere, there are many people who suffer.

This is another section of the road between two villages and towns. At this morning, there were many pedestrians walking on the road, so there were many people choking by the dust.

"Bah! This is so unlucky! Who are these people?" A passerby choked by dust spit on the ground and said depressedly.

"Shh! Speak quietly, young man, those people who have just passed by are all royal knights. If they hear your words, you will be miserable!" The young man spoke in a particularly loud voice. As soon as he finished speaking, an old man next to him immediately persuaded him in a low voice.

"Royal Knight?" Hearing this, the young man's cold sweat broke out.

In the past, knights only needed to compensate for killing civilians and did not need to be punished by judicial punishment. With the development of the times, the law gradually became comprehensive and relatively fair.

Even so, killing a civilian will not be able to pay the death of the other party.

The young man looked at the direction of the fast horses going away and asked the old man next to him in surprise: "Is this the royal knight? I rarely see them, let alone say that I am rushing like this. What's wrong today? I ran so fast that I didn't even know how to hide on the road. Could it be... something big is going to happen in the kingdom?"

The royal knights usually pay great attention to their appearance and demeanor, and rarely have such a hurried time.

When the old man heard the young man’s question, he actually felt strange. He said, “I’m also a little surprised. What big thing happened to make these knights who usually pay attention to etiquette and demeanor change their appearance?”

"Is it going to fight?"

"No way? We're going to fight again?"

"Don't listen to him, he, a carpenter, knows what!"

"Then tell me why they were so in a hurry? What news did they send?" After hearing their conversation, some pedestrians around were also curious about what the knights passed by were encountering.

And while these people were talking, these knights were already running far away.

"Captain, don't you have to hurry like this, right? Didn't the message be sent by the magician with a magic letter? Why do we have to go there again?" As he was speeding, a knight couldn't help but catch up with the person in front and asked loudly.

The sound of horse hooves is too loud, and if the sound is low, the other party can't hear it at all.

"What do you know? The letter was sent out, but it was used in the magic letter method. But we knights and magicians have two systems. The magic letter is just a quick report, the official letter and official documents are reported to the king capital. Moreover, if we just send magic letters and we don't convey them, then what else do we have to do in the future?" The knight in front said coldly without turning his head.

"What we said is... it's only when we arrive that we are officially delivering the document." The knight who asked the question nodded and said.

"Don't talk anymore. Everyone urges me to go quickly and rest when you get to the place!"

"Yes!" Hearing the captain's order, all the knights shouted in unison, the horse's hooves were raised, and the dust was flying, and the knights rushed to the road.

Kingdom of Esk, capital

At this time, everything is normal in the palace

There was a red carpet in the corridor, and a few steps away, there was a lampstand.

It is said that there are six hundred lamps in the entire palace, which can brighten the entire palace.

The nobles in the palace were chatting leisurely, and only the young attendants were respectful.

The palace nobles did not have much territory. They were actually a talent pool supported by the royal family and maintained the operation of the royal family. After hundreds of years, they had formed a huge scale and of course they also accumulated strong strength.

Further away, there was a hall where more advanced nobles were chatting, and inside it was the king's office place.

"Recently, there are all insect pests in the coastal countries!" The king reviewed the documents and sighed.

"Your Majesty, our Kingdom of Esk is not affected by the disaster, and the royal territories are in good condition. There will be no big losses in all aspects of the harvest this year." A minister said with a bow.

"Where are the counties?"

"The dukes, marquis, and counts have not reported it yet. It is obvious that the situation is still under control." The minister mentioned lightly, without saying much.

Under the feudal system, the king only needs to manage his royal territory. In fact, most of the territories of each county are not under the jurisdiction of the king and the royal family, and it is also a matter for the nobles when encountering disasters.

The king nodded, said nothing, and continued to work.

"Oh? Is there any movement in Tetashaul again?" After receiving a magic letter from the layers of reports below, the king took the letter from the servant, carefully tore open the cover, unfolded the contents, and read it carefully.

The magic letter does appear to be very fast in receiving speed, but it is not without shortcomings.

The first thing is that it is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. Even the royal intelligence agencies cannot afford it if every document and every message is delivered by magic letters.

Secondly, it is transmitted by magic, and the materials used have certain restrictions. The number of words that can be transmitted is always limited.

It is precisely because of these two shortcomings that magic letters have been around for many years, but they still have not been popularized. When sending emergency messages or documents, magic letters will be used, but when there is a lot of information, they still need to be handed over.

"You go down first." Looking at the attendant standing in front of you, the king waved his hand and asked him to go down. At this time, there were only a few attendants and ministers in the hall. They stood far away. The king lowered his head and began to read the letter.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that there was anything important, but that he was just reporting a change in the territory.

"It turns out that only some new specialties have come out!" The king murmured, a relaxed smile appeared. There was a new legend in the kingdom that kept him paying attention.

"Your Majesty, what makes you happy?" At this time, several nobles came in from outside, because they had obtained the approval of the king and could walk freely in the hall of deliberations. Today is the date when they came to discuss the latest government affairs with the king. The servants outside did not report to the king, and they came in themselves.

As soon as I came in, I heard the king's laughter.

"Nothing, someone reported to me. Tetashaul has cultivated three new varieties of fruits and has been launched. It is said that the response is very good. Do you want to order a few orders?" the king asked casually, just for entertainment and rest.

"New variety of fruit?" Several nobles looked at the king.

These nobles are all very high in titles, all above the earls, and are old ministers of the king. They know the king's thoughts very well. At this time, it is rare to see the king so happy, so they casually said: "Your Majesty, the dragon fruit we released last time is good, has a new variety been released this time?"

"Well, the lord of the lord of Tetasha is His Highness Romon. The three new varieties recently were cultivated after he entered the sacred realm. It is said that these three fruits have sweet tastes, and they often eat them and have the effect of prolonging life!" Speaking of this, the king said with a smile: "I plan to order some, taste them, and see what they are like. In a while, detailed information about these three fruits will be submitted here. I will take a closer look."

"Then our family will also order some." These nobles said casually, and after a few words, they turned to the main topic: "Your Majesty, there has finally been a formal decision on the compensation issue for the last war."

The nobleman who spoke was slightly older.

"It's been five years, is there a final decision?" The king sighed and said, "What he said was the resistance to the battle of the elves. In this battle, Prince Xiusenya died in battle, followed by a large number of royal fleets.

"Your Majesty, the official decision will come to you the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." The nobleman said softly, apparently understanding the king's mood: "But the specific compensation has been released, I will report it to you."

“…Say it!”

"As per the order, the three coastal kingdoms will compensate, first of all, there is about one million and two million pensions, which will be compensated in five years."

"The Kingdom of Derbyt is close to our country and will ced a territory north of Mount Anlu to us, with about a thousand square kilometers. Of course, it will also receive compensation from other kingdoms."

“In terms of trade and tariffs, preferential treatment is implemented.”

After these three main points, the nobleman lowered his head slightly and waited for the king's order.

One thousand square kilometers is not small, although there is relatively poor, the king smiled bitterly and said, "Calculate this territory, draw one third of it, and reward it to the meritorious ministers."

"Abide by the order!" This nobleman responded to his order, which is also a definite word. Many palace nobles are looking forward to their territory!

Although this type of territory is very small, it is also a territory. With territory, a noble family will become worthy of its reputation. Perhaps, in the future, it can become a legitimate baron and viscount!
