Release that Witch Chapter 868: Black Pearl
This feels ... wonderful.
Edith take a deep breath, taste the **** smell in the air.
And the fear that spread in the hearts of everyone.
The encirclement is shrinking rapidly. The so-called resistance lasted only a short period of time and was broken by God Punishment Witches's unacceptable offensive. In these Taqila survivor eyes, noble, which is the highest in the weekdays, is no different from ordinary people. As long as they have no ability, they are all mortal bodies, and they will not have the slightest hesitant when they start.
But instead of killing for themselves at this moment, they were directed by another mortal. She is also confident that under the influence of that mortal, these God Punishment Witchess will also follow their own command line affairs.
Even if she is the same, she is just a mortal.
This is the charm of power.
Combining interests, goals, desires, and thirsts through people-to-people contact and negotiation forms a peculiar order through which even mortals can control far more powerful forces than themselves .
"Your Majesty, the screening is complete." When the last person fell, "No. 76" Felice dropped the gaping sword and turned to report to Roland.
The corpses of more than sixty people lie in a pile, and the blood flowing out has condensed into dark red masses, which look like hot wax under the light of the campfire.
The crow and sparrow at the scene were silent. All the alive noble had pale faces, clenched their teeth and dared not speak out, for fear of becoming the next body. As for the three "swingers", they have collapsed to the ground and trembled.
If she asked the same question again now, she would know what the other party would be answer, even without Nightingale.
With fear, loyalty is guaranteed.
Of course, none of the excluded noble is the innocent person --. During the first half of the banquet, Isabella has completely erased the God Punishment Stone worn by them. Under the lie identification of Nightingale, it is said that they have no intention of reading problem.
Their biggest mistake is to overestimate themselves.
Dominated a place, in charge of thousands of large nobles who died and died, still looked vulnerable to higher levels of power. So far after the war, half of fief around Scarlet Water will be swept away. In contrast, her adventures in calculating the two great families in Eternal Night City are not worth mentioning.
Fortunately, this plan finally achieved the perfect result. Your Majesty gave her enough trust. From witch to Taqila survivor, every step was performed as planned according to her arrangement. Even the five questions and answers were not changed. Was approved.
The only episode is the glass that was thrown last.
She does n’t know why Your Majesty must use wine cup as a hand signal. According to common sense, this step is purely redundant. The cup-throwing action is difficult to be seen by all guards at the same time, and the cracking sound is easily covered up. It is puzzling to have to prepare drinks in advance. But looking at the effect after working, it unexpectedly added a sense of mystery to him, and in conjunction with the theory of mind reading, the deterrent effect was further enhanced.
Probably this is the level that the king can understand.
Edith suppressed the excitement and licked his lips.
Choose to work for Roland Wimbledon is really the right choice.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at King, hoping to share this joy with him, but found that the expectation on the latter's face had disappeared without a trace, and her eyes even revealed a faint rejection and Get bored.
"Is there another banquet room in the villa?" Roland asked with a calm voice.
"Just right next door," Delta Earl swallowed.
"Let everyone go, I have something to say," he nodded. "As for these insurgents, you can ask your men to count it once, and give me a list, tonight."
"Yes ... Yes, Your Majesty!"
"In addition, open the doors and windows, and dispose of the corpse as soon as possible. This rust smell really appetites."
"I'll send someone to do it!"
So that's it, Pearl of the Northern Lands suddenly realized that His Majesty The King is not expecting this killing. What he expects is that after these noble exits, they can leave a smooth decree and Scarlet Water -- controlled by City Hall. For onlookers, the deterrent power of escorting mines is obviously No pile of corpses came effectively. But as far as the killing is concerned, he can't say how much he likes it, even the **** atmosphere in the hall makes him repulsive.
The sense of pleasure before disappeared a lot, Edith after he realized this was a little hesitant ...
Are your plans too much?
Perhaps it is better to kill half on the spot.
After all, if the displayed preferences are too different from those of the superior, it will easily cause the other party to feel resentment. In that case, her path of power will probably be more bumpy.
After everyone moved to the next hall, Roland's tight brows finally stretched out. He cleared his throat and opened his mouth loudly. "Don't worry, only the rebels will be severely punished. Now the rebellion is calm. The top priority is to restore the order of Scarlet Water, and this requires your assistance and cooperation. "
"Your Majesty ask!"
nobles kneeled down simultaneously .
Roland nodded with satisfaction. "Get up, this is also the first task given to you. After fief belongs to King, the original boundary has no meaning. I need you to focus on Scarlet Water City. -- is not only a residence, but also Including freemen, serfs and livestock in fief. "
"But ... Your Majesty, if you move everyone around, Scarlet Water City simply does not have enough food to feed them," Delta Earl insisted, "even if you arrange these people into the field, nearby is not so More farmland is available for cultivation. If forced to drive away, I am afraid that it will cause famine and riots ... "
"First of all, you will switch to another type of wheat called" Golden No. 2 "this year. The yield is nearly ten times that of ordinary wheat ears. Secondly, the population that cannot live can be transferred to Western Region, no matter how many, I will accept it correctly. "
There was a sound of breathlessness at the scene.
"Ten or ten times?"
"Is there such a wheat?"
"But our citizen ..."
"After reclaiming fief, those people will naturally no longer have your citizen. Their decision to stay will be their own decision." Roland interrupted, "the land utilization rate was too low before, the population was scattered, and the area was tens of thousands of acres. The number of autonomous territories is only a few thousand people, which is extremely inconvenient for policy implementation. Therefore, it is necessary to shrink in a big city. I know you are confused about the change, but Neverwinter City is just after such a rectification, It ’s like today ’s bustling appearance. I do n’t know what to do. It does n’t matter, someone will teach you how to profit from the change. ”
"Teach ... us?" Delta Earl said.
"Yes, the City Hall officials trained by Neverwinter City themselves. They will form a management department, replacing the previous position of feudal lord, and governing various regions for me. You can choose joining among them to obtain power and status, but salary compensation will be greatly affected Restrictions. You can also look for opportunities to become part of large-scale production. There is no upper limit on the wealth you can obtain, and you must not interfere in the decree. Instead, you must comply with it and complete every task that City Hall confesses. "Roland Said, "Don't worry, this core management system will be set up tomorrow. You can learn more about it before you make a decision, but remember that no matter which direction you choose, your achievements will far exceed the value of a fief. . "
After one hour, nobles slowly dispersed.
Roland released a long breath, "So Scarlet Water City won it."
"Then there are Silver Light City and the old Kingdom Capital --, but the latter has been cleaned up again, and only a simple placement manager is required." Edith replied.
"I don't know how the other way is going," he looked out of the window. At this time, the moon had risen into the sky, and the silent lake surface was like a silver light. "If there is no accident, Iron Axe should also be tomorrow. Can get under Golden Harvest City. "
"Uh ... probably," Edith thought for a moment, remembering the words she had talked to Iron Axe before set off, and thinking about the look of Roland today, she suddenly felt a little confused.
"I hope everything goes well," Roland shrugged, "you go back to Adviser Department first, there is still a lot of work tonight."
According to the plan, after getting the list of insurgents, First Army will go side by side that night and clean up its territory as quickly as possible, which is why the army stationed outside the city.
"Yes ..." Edith was absent-minded, "Subordinates retired first."
"Yes," just as she walked to the entrance of the hall, Roland called her again, "very wonderful trick, good job."
Well done ... good?
Is that so? Your Majesty doesn't really care about all that she does?
At that moment, Pearl of the Northern Lands felt an unprecedented satisfaction.
This is what happened. She suddenly understood her direction on the road of power. It was up to her to carry out these plans and tricks that Your Majesty was unwilling to touch.
And this is exactly what she is good at.
Edith bowed his head, gave him a gift, and walked silently into the night.
