Chapter 987 The Crunch of the Goddess and the Crucial Moment of the Empress

Baudouin took some people behind him, and these people scattered into the hall and chatted with the prisoners.

The prisoners were respectful, but when these people turned around, they looked at their backs with contempt and disdain.

These people were originally one of them. For various reasons, of course, the prerequisite is to kneel and lick sincerely. They have changed from prisoners to "royal alchemists".

During this time, Baudouin, accompanied by his granddaughter, inspected the entire area.

In the area of ​​the Emperor's Castle, there are not only underwater halls and warehouses, but also large-scale docks, pools, and gardens on the water.Although the entire area is also placed under the enchantment of the Emperor's Castle, there is another layer of ocean affinity enchantment that separates it from other parts of the Emperor's Castle.

This place was originally used to entertain the storm ocean sea spirits, and there are huge pipeline connections in various places, which are used as roads for sea spirits to travel to and from various places.However, Hailing rarely came here. Those mermaids don't like places full of artificial buildings, and it would be very uncomfortable to be in them, so this place has been idle for a long time, and the pipes have not been filled with seawater but are empty.

Since last year, another group of people has settled here, specializing in the mysteries of the alchemy stone.

The royal magicians of the Dawn Empire have long discovered the special features of the alchemy stone, but they have not had suitable research methods and cannot find a way to do it.

Now with the magic particle technology, coupled with the ideas of Chilian micro-magic theory, the queen ordered the alchemists in the empire to gather here secretly, and let them crack the mystery of the alchemy stone.The double barrier here can shield the alchemy stone from interference from other forces, making it suitable for use as a research site.

Most of the alchemists are unbelievers. The alchemists who went to Chilian established the Alchemist Commune, which became the shining beacon that all alchemists yearned for. The alchemists here were suspected, and they were treated like prisoners.

Only a few alchemists who are willing to believe in the goddess of order have become official researchers, but they have lost the ability to activate the alchemy stone and can only act as supervisors.

This matter was originally under the supervision of the Minister of Internal Affairs Brintto, and the level of importance was not high.But recently, Her Majesty the Queen has been asking more and more frequently about the progress of the research. Two months ago, this department was simply separated and handed over to Baudouin for direct management, and the hand of order took over the security work. This made Baudouin feel faint guessed.

After confirming that there is no problem with the defense, and getting the progress of the research from the supervisor, Baudouin returned to the standby area at the bottom of the Emperor's Castle.As expected, he soon received the Queen's call.

Through the hand of order and the order divine power network terminals all over the Emperor's Castle, as well as the monitoring function of the protective barrier, the Queen knows everything inside the Emperor's Castle.After confirming that he has completed the inspection, invite him to report.

After all, the queen can only look at the superficial situation and cannot understand the specific details, and she should not only talk to him about the things here.

In the gourd-shaped study, Baudouin bowed deeply to the queen, who was dressed in casual clothes and whose appearance and temperament hadn't changed at all from three or four years ago.

Now in the empire, from government officials to church clergy, from legionary officers and soldiers to ordinary civilians, no one has mentioned that this empress is not the former empress, at least physically.For them, the Empress has never changed.

In the past three or four years, the empress has continued to promote the construction of the Church of Order, allowing the church to penetrate into every corner of the territory and every level of society. Even the Thieves Guild of the old era has hidden church members.

Through the expansion of the Church of Order, the dominance of the Aurora Empire has been further enhanced. In 1230, the Dawn Empire conducted the first census in the history of Finn World, and confirmed that there were more than 7000 million "orderly and intelligent creatures" in the empire, including humans, half-breeds, half-elves, halflings, goblins, and dragonmen. .Although there are many races included in the statistics for the first time, which makes the final figure look very scary, but only counting the human population, it is more than 5000 million.

The Dawn Empire firmly controls nearly [-] million intelligent beings through the church, the government, and the legion, gathering unimaginable wealth and power from them. Of course, most of them have been used in the Heavenly Mountain repair project.

For a clergyman like Baudouin, the queen's greatest achievement was her successful rule over the power of magicians.

The upper level wooed forces such as Simberna and Mosmoot to appease the traditional and powerful families such as Hathaway Gordon, and the lower level used various projects of the empire to support the Zhentarim Society, opposing these upper-level magician forces.Then promote the "democratization" of the Mage Association, and dig out the most important magic patent committee to be supervised by the empire. As a result, the power of magicians will become more and more divided, and it will be difficult to fight against the will of the empire as they did in the past.

The more obvious sign is that the original joint communication network became nameless because the backbone was replaced by the order communication network dominated by the Church of Order.Although magicians can still communicate secretly through private communication tools, they can no longer conduct large-scale, convenient and fast communication through the joint communication network.

Now the empress continues to pay attention to various news from thousands of nodes through the network of order and with the will bestowed by her gods, and can penetrate into the grassroots of the empire at any time.

Even the most stubborn subjects of the empire, not many people doubted the Queen's authenticity.

Most people don't have much experience of these changes in the empire, but the Queen's focus on urban and rural cleanliness, public security, and culture allows the subjects to see a ruler who is strict but still cares about the most basic well-being of the subjects.Occasional outings, inspections, and news of playing speed games with the regent Prince Jon gave the subjects a deep impression of being a mortal.

Of course, these "subjects" are at least residents who have certain assets, or have extraordinary powers, and do not need to go to the Church of Order labor camps, mines, and workshops to earn a living.

"The Goddess' Heaven Mountain repair project has reached a critical moment..."

The queen waved her hand to show off, and said in a crisp and dignified voice: "The Chilian first made a big move in the inner plane, and now it is making troubles in the main plane. It must be a harbinger of a crazy counterattack."

"Today I received the exact news that Leviit, the king of sea beasts in Ocean of Storms, was killed by the Hunter Commune of the Red Federation. The Sea Spirit Conference has collapsed, and the sea valleys are fighting each other, and they are in a mess. The strange thing is that the sea snake king didn't show up either. Is something wrong with that guy?"

The queen shook her head and sighed: "In the past, I didn't pay much attention to Hai Ling. Looking at the development of Chilian, it seems that they have little power over Hai Ling. I didn't expect them to hide so deeply."

Bodu listened quietly, there was not much anger on the empress's beautiful face, either she was already angry, or things had not deteriorated enough to make the empress angry.

The thought of "this empress is just a clone of the goddess, there is no need to be angry" slipped through his heart without leaving any trace.

"Hai Ling, Benuin, the United Kingdom of Storms, the Kingdom of Lizardmen, the Half-Elves... The Red Federation is setting fires everywhere. This is a very old-fashioned way of concealing their eyes. They just don't know where their real goals are."

The Empress frowned slightly: "Xiaohong is a mindless person who only knows how to bluff and fight. Li Qi is an unhappy person who always likes to tangle with meaningless details. He also insists on playing tricks on things that can be confronted head-on. Talk about low cost and zero casualties. The idea of ​​the two of them getting together is really elusive."

"There are still hidden dangers on Hathaway's side, and the situation is not very optimistic. The goddess needs us to firmly stabilize the situation on the main plane, but I don't know how to proceed."

"Baudouin, what do you think?"

Baudouin kept his waist straight, and said what he had thought a long time ago: "The more this is the case, the less we can show weakness to the enemy! The empire should be more active, and put strong pressure on the Red Federation and the Empire of Will to let them put away Small tricks. If they already have some evil plans, they can force them to reveal their true colors in advance!"

The queen smiled and sent him information: "Most people think the same as you, but have you calculated how much resources are needed to do so? If you haven't, you can take a look."

Baudouin took it and took a breath when he saw only a few of them.

"The size of the empire is too large, and the opponent is not weak. To exert sufficient pressure, we must arm a large number of floating fleets and legions, reserve war materials, and mobilize manpower from various fields."

"This will seriously affect the repair work of Mount Paradise. This kind of delay is intolerable to the Goddess..."

Baudouin's thoughts were not so obvious. He continued: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about borrowing... the power of magicians? The development of magic technology has always made them eager to move. In the empire, they have no room for expansion." , only externally can they mobilize their power to the maximum."

The queen nodded: "I have thought about this too. Today the Zhentarim lost the match with the Red Federation again, but the gap is much smaller than last time. They are celebrating. This is just the morale level. From an economic point of view, they I hate the smuggling trade of the Red Federation the most, and they have spontaneously organized a banning team, releasing their mad dogs to bite the Red Federation, and it should be effective."

She then sighed: "But once this hole is opened, the magician will definitely work harder to squeeze the civilians. I am not only worried that the subjects of the empire will suffer from this, but also worried that they will expand and give birth to more ideas."

Baudouin insisted on his own proposition: "As long as Her Majesty repairs Mount Paradise and allows eternal order to descend on Fern, these changes will be nothing."

The queen smiled gratifiedly: "Yes, I think so too, it's rare that you support my idea."

This is a bit forced to be wise, but it makes Baudouin very pleased. This shows that Her Majesty's humanity is full, and she is very protective of her face.

"Well, we have to do something," said the Empress. "I actually have a plan for a full-scale war, but I have to wait until the goddess has repaired Mount Paradise."

"You first sort out the resources that the three northern countries can mobilize. To oppress the Red Federation and the Empire of Will, magicians alone are not enough, and we can't let the magicians act freely. We must be prepared for a big fight."

In addition to presiding over the affairs of the Church of Order, Baudouin's other work focused on the governance of the three northern countries and the research on alchemy stones, which are unknown things.These are either the basic disks prepared by the queen or even the goddess on the main plane, or the secrets directly related to the god level. Baudouin's trust is not comparable to those of Brinto.

Then the queen asked about the progress of the research. After Baudouin made a report, the queen pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "This is very close to Her Majesty's expectation. Go ahead, remember this is very important, don't relax."

Baudouin finally couldn't bear to ask: "Your Majesty, I heard some... wild speculations from researchers. Is the alchemy stone really related to the power of dawn?"

The queen shook her head: "Only the goddess knows about this, so I might as well tell you that this part is missing in the repair project of Tiantang Mountain, so the goddess is particularly concerned."

Baudouin apologized in fear, and then left the study.

When Baudouin left, the Queen's body swayed slightly, her eyes glowed with blazing light, and all the expressions on her face disappeared, revealing an inhuman divine aura.

Just like the two servers are synchronizing information, the light is also flickering in a certain rhythm, and the information and its corresponding data are running in parallel like a torrent.

"The dawn has revealed its true colors in front of me, but I can't accept their arrangements unilaterally. This requires mortals to thoroughly analyze the power of dawn in the main position, to see what kind of power this kind of power has on the soul of mortals. Influence."

"Only by confirming this, can we determine whether the repair project of Mount Paradise can be completed and whether the eternal order can come."

"It's very different from what I've known from Kayla before. Aurora has hoodwinked the truth of the world, at least to Kym and Kayla, and me. That's why I have a hard time believing them. The situation at the god level may be different. There are drastic changes, and the main plane needs to be more stable."

"I also sensed several strange power fluctuations at the level of the Kingdom of God. Some of them are fluctuations outside the world, which are very strange but should have nothing to do with this world. Some of them are changes within the world, and one of them is related to Hathaway. - Ted, I also feel that the unknown but familiar god will accompany her, which is a very bad omen, and I must solve her problems through me as soon as possible."

"For me, my existence is indispensable, especially at such a critical moment. I have no time to cultivate another mortal interface like me, everything must be careful."

The flickering stopped, the queen blinked, and a calm and calm expression appeared on her face again.

She activated the crystal and said to the crystal, "Summon Gordon-Ted."

　Sorry for the poor schedule adjustment, the update time fluctuates a bit...

　　Trying to eliminate the errors in the... umm...
