After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

Roland understood that Janice was building momentum for him.

He didn't object.

If Oro and Hansa were merged, the territory he now owns would definitely be enough to form an empire, but it is not necessary.

He walked forward slowly and accepted the grand welcome from Janice and others, greeting everyone with a cheerful face.

Finally, he came to Janice and hugged her tightly without saying a word.

She assumed the duties of acting king while Roland was away, made minor repairs without violating the strategic layout, managed the country in an orderly manner, and even found an excuse for war to seize new territories in two provinces.

Her existence is also Roland's greatest confidence in implementing the monarch offline system.

Janice worked very hard, and Roland had no way to repay her but to give her a tight hug.

Janice didn't expect Roland to give her a warm hug in public. Her cheeks blushed and she was about to push Roland away when she suddenly remembered that she was Roland's wife now and there was no need to hide anything.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm arms with firm strength, without saying anything.

Actions speak louder than words.

After a moment's silence, Melanie took the lead in applauding them. The welcoming officials and soldiers and civilians instantly came to their senses and burst into warm applause.

As the applause rang out, Janice could no longer ignore the people around her. She twisted her body slightly and slid out of Roland's arms like a fish.

She did not casually hold Roland's hand, but walked towards Melanie.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way, sister."

“You’re the one who’s really working hard.”

Meilan smiled gently. She took Janice's hand and put it into Roland's palm, then stood on the other side of Roland.

Amid cheers and applause, Roland was in the middle, and the three of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards the new royal city which was already mostly built, facing the sunshine.

At the city gate, a carriage pulled by four one-horned white horses was ready. The three of them got on the carriage amid the cheers of the crowd and waved to the welcoming crowd at the window.

The cheers gradually subsided until the carriage entered the palace.

Roland looked at Janice's thin face and was about to say something but stopped abruptly.

"Roland, please tell me if I did something wrong. It would be too tiring if we have to guess each other's thoughts."

Janice saw Roland's hesitation and just said it out loud.

It made sense to say that there was no harm in it. Since his beloved wife was so frank, Roland smiled and said:

"You did a great job. I couldn't do it better myself."

"Are you making such a big show this time to pave the way for building an empire?"

Yani looked at Roland without avoiding the question and nodded seriously.

Roland hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Our foundation is too shallow and we are expanding too fast."

He raised his hand to stop Janice from explaining, and said in a deep voice: "Before I went to the Kingdom of Oro, I also thought that we should lay the foundation of the empire in one go, but I changed my mind in the Kingdom of Hansa."

"King Aesop of Hansa offered his loyalty to me and would rather give up his throne than live in peace."

Janice had already received a copy of the negotiation minutes and joint announcement and knew the inside story.

She nodded and praised: "Mr. Aesop is a wise man who understands the overall situation. He will not regret this decision."

"Do you know who will be the happiest when this news gets out?"

Janice said without hesitation: "Of course it's you. One more kingdom, one step closer to the empire."

"I am indeed happy, but there are people who are ten times happier than me."

"Of course it's Sister Meilan and me."

Janice pulled Meilan up with her.

"There are people who are happier than you."

Janice thought of Roland's marriage to the Oro Kingdom and murmured softly, "I don't think the Oro sisters will be happier than us."

The tone was calm, but the sour taste was overwhelming.

Roland smiled and held the hands of his two beloved wives tightly. "How can they compare to you? We met when we were little, and we went through life and death together, and built the current foundation together. Without you, there would be no Gracia today."

Although these words are a bit corny and a bit flattering, they are all facts.

Feeling Roland's sincerity, Janice's only trace of sadness disappeared. She smiled and approached Roland in a blind spot where Melanice could not see her, biting her earring and whispering softly:

"Who is the happiest then?"

"The common people of the Hansa Kingdom."

Janice was stunned.

She could never have imagined this would be the answer.

Roland said in a deep voice: "You can't imagine the joy that the Hansa people are crying for peace."

He described several stories of ordinary Hansa people celebrating peace, which moved Janice.

Roland was right. The benefits and glory of war belonged to kings, politicians, generals, and businessmen.

The lower class people like to fight, maybe they have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Looking at Janice's thoughtful expression, Roland said earnestly:

"Today, for the sake of grandeur, you organized at least 300,000 people to line the streets to welcome you."

“The activity is good, but don’t do it next time.”

Janice didn't like what she heard. She raised her head and said loudly, "Roland, you are different from other rulers. These people are grateful to you and come to greet you voluntarily."

"Voluntary? I don't think so."

Roland half-jokingly teased, "An event with hundreds of thousands of people participating must have at least been rehearsed a few times to achieve the effect today."

Janice did not refute. After at least three intensive rehearsals and many team drills, Roland's words were very accurate, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

“Do you think they would rather eat hotpot and sing at home or rehearse in the scorching sun?”

Of course, Janice could have continued to be stubborn, but she chose to remain silent.

She was willing to do so because Roland was her true love. And those ordinary people were not familiar with Roland.

They respected Roland, even worshipped him fanatically, but they all had their own jobs and families.

The small family is more important to them.

She murmured to herself somewhat disappointedly: "I understand."

"It's good if you understand."

Roland held up three fingers, his eyes determined.

"Three years, let the people rest, let us become stronger, and let the trade system work."

"Three years of dormancy is to make a better move three years later."

"Our crazy expansion over the past year has alerted the three empires and multinational organizations. If we continue to wage war, perhaps they will unite to strangle us."

“Take away the maybe.”

Janice sighed and said, "In recent months, the Holy Essen Empire and the Lisenburg Empire have signed a mutual defense treaty. Although they claim that it is targeting goblins and orcs, it actually includes us as well."

"You can always see the essence through the phenomenon. I am not as good as you in this aspect."

Faced with his beloved wife's sincere praise, Roland felt a little embarrassed.

He wasn't actually that powerful. Words like over-expansion penalty and encirclement just flashed through his mind.

Everything needs to be done with a balance and cannot be too extreme, and the same applies to the expansion of national strength.

He was already a little tired. How could those ordinary soldiers hold on?

Let's all take a break.

Janice accepted Roland's arrangement and asked with a smile, "Three years is not a short time. What are your plans?"

“I want to work with you to create the next generation!”

Seeing Melanice and Janice's cheeks flushed instantly, he quickly left kiss marks on the faces of his two beloved wives.

Holding them in his arms, one on each side, Roland turned his gaze toward the towering World Tree in the north.

The World Tree is also growing, and is much taller than at the beginning of the year.

Before enjoying a good life with his wives, he has to go see the World Tree.

He wants to take Feng Ling and Sandra back.

They had been hanging on the tree for too long and it was time to go home.

Volume 228: City of Freedom: Chapter : Can you even take the blame for this?

The towering World Tree is right there, quietly gazing at the human city not far away.

It doesn't understand the joys and sorrows of human beings, but it can clearly feel that the two little guys hanging on the tree are a little restless.

According to human time calculation, each alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter is called a year.

The world tree does not have annual rings, as the unit of time called year is too small for them.

These two little guys are already upset after only being dead for a year. It turns out that their bloodline is not pure.

If they can sleep peacefully in the fruit, not only will their strength improve by leaps and bounds, they will even have the opportunity to become the seeds of the World Tree and become new life forms capable of photosynthesis.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hold on.

They will probably leave in a few days at most.

After all, the fragile human body cannot compare to the powerful ancient trees.

Just as the Resurrection World Tree was being dragged down by the fragile human bodies of the two talented girls, it suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.

A familiar breath came.

It's Roland.

Thinking of Roland, it felt somewhat complicated.

It was hard to say that it liked Roland; it was a resistance from the depths of its soul.

It is the World Tree, a powerful being who has just broken through to become a demigod. How could it have such emotions towards a fifth-level human?

Despite this resistance, it was also very aware of everything Roland had done for it.

Without Roland, there would be no revival.

What Roland did for it surpassed any human companion before.

Even the Elf Emperors of the Fifth Age were far inferior to him.

This complex feeling made it always feel distant from Roland, which was far less natural than with other elves and druids.

He had been away for more than half a year and finally came back and finally came to see it.

"Su Sheng, I'm back."

"It looks like you've gained a lot from this trip. It seems like you can break through to the sixth level at any time. Why don't you break through immediately?"

"There's no need to rush. I still have a lot of things to do."

For example, leaving behind a few heirs in the mortal world with his beloved wives.

After breaking through the sixth level, he is still himself, but he is fundamentally different.

For example, it is basically impossible to leave offspring.

Roland looked up at the World Tree and asked, "Is there any way for you to connect with other World Trees?"

"Why do you ask?"

The World Tree is very curious.

"It's nothing, the World Tree of Oro Kingdom appeared."

"You mean prosperity?!" There was nine out of ten points of astonishment in the voice of the World Tree.

The Prosperous World Tree is the weakest of all the world trees.
