From Wild Mage to Wizard King.

Chapter 431 Winter is coming
The original fertility ritual originated from the harpies.

As an intelligent race consisting only of females, the Harpies are unable to produce offspring through internal unions within the same race. Therefore, the extraordinary people of the Harpies developed the original breeding ritual to obtain a stable means of population reproduction.

It is also because of the gestation ceremony that the harpies now basically live habitually in deep mountains and forests, and rarely appear in human sight.

Of course, according to the research of archaeologists within the Harpy clan in later generations, before the birth of the gestation ceremony, the Harpies also relied on capturing males of other intelligent races and reproducing offspring through sexual intercourse, so they had a history of being active in the human world.

However, although the origin of the gestation ceremony came from the Harpies, due to the relatively low population and civilization level of the Harpies, their gestation ceremony only played a role in fertility.

Later, when the gestation ceremony fell into the hands of humans and elves, it was modified by human and elven spellcasters and combined with various secret techniques. The new gestation ceremony has achieved a qualitative improvement while retaining the basic function of reproduction.

The most important point is that the offspring of the gestation ceremony can stably inherit the talents of the stronger parent.

Moreover, in addition to this, the offspring may also inherit the talents of both parents at the same time, thus giving birth to a more powerful talent that combines the advantages of both parties. In addition, various mutations may also occur, and as long as the ritual materials are qualified, basically only benign mutations will occur.

The most important point is that the talents of extraordinary people will continue to improve with their promotion and sublimation. This means that the offspring born through the gestation ceremony may inherit the talents of their parents after promotion and sublimation from the beginning of their birth, and it will be easier for them to embark on the path of extraordinary people.

Of course, the gestation ceremony is not without its drawbacks. Each pregnancy consumes a lot of energy. Basically, the woman will be weak for one or two years after giving birth. After the weak period, if she wants to give birth again, she can at least recuperate for another seven or eight years.

Moreover, even the lowest level gestation ritual requires the consumption of a certain amount of extraordinary materials. Of course, this is not a big problem in the future when magic power is revived.

In later generations, with the large-scale promotion of the gestation ceremony and the revival of magic power, people's average talents, lifespans and comprehensive qualities are constantly improving, and the quality and quantity of extraordinary people are also getting higher and higher.

Of course, Roland originally just regarded this as a version adjustment made by the game officials to adapt to the average strength of the players, and just an excuse to swipe more high-level NPCs.

However, things are different now. Roland must vigorously promote this good thing that can steadily improve the average talent of the entire population.

Moreover, the conception ceremony has no requirements for race or gender, as long as there are two living people, which also helps the integration between different races.

The Pregnancy Support Act is a reform bill drafted to promote the pregnancy ceremony.

The current era is not the era of magic revival, and low-level extraordinary materials are completely worthless. Therefore, the low-level materials required for the gestation ceremony are not easily obtained by any ordinary person or low-level extraordinary person.

The Pregnancy Support Act was born as a result. In order to promote eugenics within the committee, the War Committee will provide each couple with one pregnancy ceremony free of charge. The second time will require half of the food coupons converted from extraordinary materials, and the third and subsequent times will require full food coupons.

At the same time, in order to avoid the leakage of the gestation ceremony, the gestation ceremony was arranged by official personnel.

In fact, even if it is only provided for free once or at half price once, the cost for the War Committee is extremely high. Therefore, the gestation ceremony needs to be applied for first and then approved by the committee.

Currently, the War Committee has only prepared extraordinary materials that can support ten thousand gestation rituals.

Roland had not thought that the people on the committee would quickly accept the conception ceremony as a new way of giving birth. Therefore, this bill was just to pave the way and let them know. It was estimated that there would not be many people who were really willing to try it in the first few years.

Therefore, this storage of extraordinary materials is sufficient.

Moreover, Roland also allocated a lot of Tears of the Moon Goddess to the Botanical Garden, asking the Wood Apostles to create a closed high-element environment. The cultivation fields for low-level extraordinary plants have been almost completed. In the worst two years, they will be able to produce low-level extraordinary materials continuously every year.

Looking at the Pregnancy Support Act, Roland glanced at Hela beside him.

"Ok?"

Hela also noticed Roland's gaze. She tilted her head slightly and smiled.

Roland pursed his lips slightly.

Looking at the bill, Roland also thought about the issue of his and Hela's offspring.

As the chairman, even if Roland did not intend to inherit the throne, if he had descendants, unless Roland suppressed him and did not allow him to participate in politics, he would most likely inherit Roland's position.

Therefore, Roland himself did not plan to have offspring, but he did not know what Hela thought.

"what happened?"

Hela put her hand on his shoulder and said curiously.

Roland came back to his senses, looked at the reform bill in his hand, and asked.

"What does Hela think about the issue of future generations?"

Since I don’t know what Hela thinks, just ask.

Hearing Roland's words, Hela was also stunned for a moment. She blinked, glanced at the reform bill in Roland's hand, and said hesitantly.

“Descendants.”

Hila tapped her face lightly with her right fingers and said after thinking for a while.

"It doesn't matter what I feel. It's okay to have a baby or not."

"I don't plan to have a baby, can you accept that?"

Roland spoke his mind directly.

Hela smiled and said.

"Of course."

Roland nodded slightly and signed and passed the pregnancy support bill.

After passing the reform bill that had been shelved for some time, Roland continued to handle government affairs and continued to understand what was happening in the committee during this period.

While Roland was forging the emblem at the Silver Forge, there was no major turmoil in the War Council except for the bloody incident in the Dawn Church.

The economic plan was still being implemented steadily, and the debate on the Internet was also maintaining its normal heat. Sinar and the Northland were like black holes, swallowing up all the sugar syrup that the War Council exported.

Moreover, due to the rapid development of the Commission's agriculture, the War Commission's brewing industry also gradually developed, and fine wine became the Commission's flagship export product.

The committee's annual foreign trade volume continued to set new records, and imports continued to rise. All the gold and silver obtained through trade were exchanged for various resources and shipped back to Donar.

As the War Council made steady progress, the political situation in the Silver Empire and the Northern Kingdom became increasingly bizarre.

In the Silver Empire, after the Ginza bloodshed, the Silver Emperor tried to win over the army but failed, especially after countless bodies of soldiers who were executed by puncture were pulled out of the temporary military camp in Ginza.

The furious Silver Emperor was completely helpless as the citizens of Ginza protected and resisted each other, as well as the joint obstruction of the Silver Family, and he could only find a scapegoat to execute.

A monarch who cannot even protect the soldiers who work for him will naturally not be welcomed by the army.

At the same time, his move of mobilizing troops to enter Ginza also angered some military generals who remained neutral. Although they did not directly side with the Silver Family, they also explicitly rejected the Silver Emperor's solicitation.

The Silver Emperor's influence in the army declined significantly, and as he was considered the culprit that caused hundreds of thousands of Sinar people to flee, he also lost the support of the people.

In addition, faced with the Silver Emperor revealing his weak state, the nobles and princes from all over the country also chose to stay away.

Faced with accountability from all sides, the Silver Emperor naturally chose to be tough. His intentions were good, but his subordinates failed to execute them properly.

Although not many people believe this.

If he had not been a legitimately elected Silver Emperor, and unlike the previous Silver Queen who had accidentally killed someone, the Silver Family would not have been able to force him to abdicate, and he might have stepped down long ago.

The Silver Family did not want to destroy the inheritance tradition, so they simply forced the Silver Emperor to retain the last bit of dignity and abdicate.

But the Silver Emperor was unwilling to do so. He seized the weaknesses of the Silver Families and shamelessly stayed on the throne.

The Silver Family was somewhat helpless in this regard.

As a high-level spellcaster, even if the Silver Family wanted to assassinate him, it would not be that easy and problems could easily occur.

But if they restricted the power of the Silver Emperor and made it impossible for his orders to be transmitted, it would be of no use. Even if they lost power, the Silver Emperor would still refuse to abdicate.

Even because the seal of the Silver Emperor is personally controlled by every Silver Emperor, all matters big and small in the Silver Empire, such as the enthronement of nobles, transfers of officials, and so on, require approval with the seal.

Relying on this point, he refused to sign any orders in order to threaten the Silver Families and ask them to return power. But how could the Silver Families, who had taken away power with great difficulty, return power?
Thus, the two sides were in a stalemate.

Under this stalemate, the operation of the Silver Empire also encountered problems. All the decrees for the inheritance of titles by descendants of nobles after their death could not be passed, vacant officials for various reasons could not be replaced, the imperial army could not be mobilized normally, and even the taxes paid by various places could not be formally collected, transported, stored and mobilized because of lack of permission.

In fact, because of the ongoing political struggle between the Silver Emperor and the Silver Family, the vassal states under the Silver Empire have become less honest.

The entire Silver Empire is becoming increasingly chaotic.

After the Silver Empire fell into chaos, the Inter Alliance, which was established on the ruins of the Inter Kingdom to the west of the Silver Empire, seized the opportunity of this chaos and marched north to attack and annex the scattered human kingdoms in the north.

In the past, whenever the Kingdom of Inter wanted to move north, the Silver Empire would deploy troops on the border to threaten it. But now, without the Silver Emperor's order, the imperial troops on the border can only watch as the Inter Alliance invades and annexes the human kingdom in the north.

In addition to the chaos in Sinnar, in the northern region, the political chaos in the Northern Kingdom has gradually surfaced.

At the end of November 1459, as the news that the Northern Orc King had fallen into a coma spread throughout the North, the core members of the humans, orcs, and orc factions in the Northern Kingdom had all returned to their respective bases.

After the orc king fell into a coma, many things that could not be done before can now be done openly.

The three parties eliminated dissidents in various places, recruited militias, created various accidents, firmly grasped their own territories in the hands of their factions, and secretly continued to recruit and train troops, collect and store food and supplies, and prepare for civil war.

At the same time, the three factions were constantly trying to win over the great nobles and the royal army who were still neutral in the country. In addition, they also turned their attention to the outside world, began to seek support from foreign forces, and offered various chips.

In today's world situation, the Moon Elves are indifferent to worldly affairs, and the Silver Empire is caught up in political infighting. The only one who can truly influence or even control the civil war in the North is undoubtedly the War Council, which is in a peaceful state with a stable political situation.

In response, the three factions tried to win over the vassal states within the Silver Empire, while also sending their envoys to seek the support of the committee.

The three factions are differentiated by the race of the prince they support, and the internal composition of the factions basically includes humans, orcs and orcs.

The wife of the Northern Orc King was a Northern human, so among his offspring there were humans, half-orcs, and orcs. The three best offspring among all happened to be humans, half-orcs, and orcs.

Therefore, the messengers sent by the three factions are all human messengers.

However, since Roland was not in Apocalypse when they came here, the committee did not give them a clear answer.

After entering 1460, minor frictions and military conflicts in the areas bordering the three factions had already begun as a prelude to the civil war.

However, although the orc king had fallen into a coma, the three factions still suppressed their impulses and did not start a civil war. Instead, they waited for someone to break the deadlock first.

Of course, the most important point is that the royal army, which is directly loyal to the orc king, has not yet made their choice.

Based on the princes' understanding of the king, he must have left a will for succession. Once he dies, the will will appear, and at that time, the royal army will most likely make their choice.

As a military force capable of influencing the situation of the civil war, their choice is crucial.

Before the civil war began, if the army made a choice and joined one faction, the other two sides could join forces to attack that faction, thereby eliminating the advantages brought by the royal army.

On the other hand, if the military made the choice after the civil war had begun, it would be easy for the army to catch everyone off guard if it suddenly entered the battlefield.

Therefore, before the royal army made its choice, the three factions endured, quietly accumulating strength, waiting for the final outbreak of the civil war.
