"Please!!! I'm only 4 years old! Please spare me!" Rhine wailed in his heart.
(There is one more update, also from the underworld. I will burst out again on Saturday and Sunday, after all, I still owe 3 more updates.)
Chapter 156: The Capricious Aunt
"Is what she said true or false?" Victoria looked at Rhine seriously.
"Are you trying to say that you lied to me?" Natasha looked at Rhine seriously.
"This...that..." Looking at Natasha's pure eyes, Rhine was too embarrassed to deny it.
"Alas." Victoria seemed to have seen Rhine's dilemma and stopped being aggressive.
"I'm sorry, aunt, I disappoint you."
"It seems to be true. But auntie said she won't interfere in your life, so auntie won't oppose you, but auntie still has something to say to you..."
"You really make your aunt proud! Come on, let your future daughter-in-law call you aunt!"
"I never thought that my pig could get the chance to become the president of the Magic Unification Association. I never expected it in my dreams!" Victoria patted Rhine's shoulder excitedly.
She is not Rhine's biological parent, nor is she an ignorant relative. What reason does she have to stand up and oppose Rhine's love?
"Ah...?" Rhine was stunned by his aunt's sudden change of expression.
"What's with that expression on your face? You don't think your aunt is one of those evil aunts in fairy tales, do you?"
"Don't worry, your aunt is very open-minded. Not to mention Natasha, if you can pick up a few other legendary witches, not only will your aunt not be angry, but she will support you with both hands!" While speaking, Victoria pushed the Dawn Witch forward and signaled to her with her eyes, "My child's conditions are so good, why don't you consider it?"
"Ah~ This salad is so delicious. I'll get some more." Maria, the Witch of Peace, quickly found an excuse to leave, fearing that she would eat the melon.
"Boy, I am very interested in you, but you are too young. Come back to me when you grow up." Scarlet Witch left after saying this.
"Why are you looking at me? You don't think I'm interested in a little brat, do you? No way, absolutely not!" The Dawn Witch shook her head and ran away, fearing that Rhine would fall in love with her. All she could think about was how to reject Rhine.
"I'm reserving a seat for my daughter," Solena said directly.
"Aunt, what are you talking about?" Rhine said with a dark face.
"There's nothing to be shy about. Your future is not destined to be with only one or two outstanding women by your side. Your aunt only hopes that you can take every relationship seriously, cherish everyone around you, and don't let them down or hurt them." Victoria entered the admonishing mode like a mother who was worried about her son.
"Stop! Aunt, you're talking too far ahead! Don't forget that I'm only 4 years old now!"
"Oh, yes, you are only 4 years old now?! It's all because of your disguise that I feel like my child has grown up." Looking at Rhine's resolute face and height that is taller than herself, Victoria couldn't help but complain.
"I'm sorry, President. My child is still young and doesn't care what he says. Don't take what he says to heart. If you really like him, you might as well wait for him for ten years. If he proposes to you again ten years later, I will bless you. But now, as an elder, I will not approve of your relationship." Victoria's face changed quickly.
"It's okay. I can wait for 10 years." After saying this, Natasha left in a leisurely manner.
"It seems like you really got her? Tell your aunt how you managed to win over this virgin." Victoria gossiped.
"Aunt, just listen to her nonsense. She has lost hope in life because she has lived for too long. She wants the new and exciting life I can bring her when we are together. You don't think she really likes a little brat like me, do you? She will leave after a few years when she gets tired of playing."
"Indeed, for someone like her who has lived for hundreds of years, you, the protagonist of the era, is like a poison with fatal attraction. If it weren't for Leona's birth that restored color to my world, perhaps I would be attracted to you." Solena joked.
"You can't do anything rash, you two are not suitable for each other." Victoria said warily.
"Who do you think I am?" Solena said speechlessly. She was already old, not a "little girl" like Natasha who had never experienced love.
"Oh, I almost forgot to ask you. Little Rhine, how did you end up here? And how did you get involved with the president of the Magical Unification Association?"
"It's a long story, to make it short. I discovered a secret realm in the Free City. While exploring, I accidentally triggered the secret realm's defense mechanism, which resulted in an attack comparable to a divine attack. In the end, it was Natasha who came to help me clean up the mess. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done."
"She followed me because I looked exactly like the first president, and she wanted to find out what was going on. As for why I was here, it was because I had to pass by here on my way home, and Natasha said that this country owed her a debt, and if I could help her get it back, she would give me half of it."
Rhine slightly modified the content. It cannot be said that the series of consequences were caused by my molesting your daughter.
"I see. Are you going home?" Although Victoria knew that the "Prince" of Rhine would not stay long when she learned of his identity, she did not expect that the time of separation would come so soon.
"No, I was just a little worried about my mother so I went back secretly. I won't give up easily until I have enough strength."
"Well, you must be careful. When it comes to the Empire's problems, even a legend may not be able to escape unscathed. But don't face any difficulties alone, you still have your aunt to support you!"
"I don't know what's going on, but I can help you if you need me. After all, I plan to marry Leona to you."
After chatting about family matters, Victoria and Solena left the Kingdom of Solcière together. After all, my aunt was not alone now, and my uncle was still waiting for her in the neighboring country. As for Solena, she was of course the friend that my aunt had told my uncle about when they parted ways.
The Peace Witch and the Scarlet Witch also left the Kingdom of Solcie that night. They were only invited by their old friends to come and help, and had no intention of intervening in the conflict between the Magical Integration Association and the Kingdom of Solcie.
Besides, since the president of the Magic Unification Association is already here, there is basically nothing for anyone else to do.
Late at night, a night owl flew into the room where Rhine was, left a space ring and left.
After Rhine put on the ring and injected his spiritual power into it, he found that it contained documents about the agreement between the Kingdom of Solcie and the Heroic Witch four hundred years ago.
Early the next morning, Rhine came to the palace again as a representative of the Magical Integration Association, but this time he did not come to attend the banquet, but to collect a debt.
His intended target was never gold coins, but a coastal city.
(Let me briefly talk about the layout of Rhine. The Free City-State area is a talent training base, the Kingdom of Solcie is an intelligence base and a place to provide financial support, and the next lawless land is the first territory of Rhine in the true sense.
Once the layout is completed, Penichesia will enter a period of development, during which the story will be transferred to the Kingdom of Elfriden. I have actually wanted to write this volume for a long time! But there is no way, if the basic foundation is not laid well in the front, many things in the back cannot be unfolded.
Next I will have a small outburst, 10 more chapters, so please vote for me! )
Chapter 157 I'm not a devil either
"We lost yesterday's academic exchange conference without a doubt."
"I just don't know what price Mr. Wiseman wants our country to pay in order to appease the anger of the Magic Unification Association?"
It was not the king who spoke, but an old man who looked venerable and respectable.
It seems that they also know that what they did will anger the Magical Unification Association, and they took the initiative to mention compensation.
"Didn't you read the conditions written on the invitation letter?"
"First, hand over the research findings of the Kingdom of Solcie in the field of magic over the past four hundred years. Second, let the Magic Unification Association settle in the Ministry of Magic."
Rhine held up two fingers to everyone.
"We can accept the first point, but the second point... I'm afraid we can't meet the requirements of the Magic Unification Association."
"Because the Kingdom of Solcie is a country with complete sovereignty, and the Ministry of Magic is the most powerful administrative agency in the Kingdom of Solcie besides the king. Its jurisdiction covers many important areas such as education, military, culture, people's livelihood, etc."
"If the Magic Unification Association sends people to the Ministry of Magic, your organization will be suspected of violating the "non-interference in each other's internal affairs" treaty signed by the world's dominant forces. This move will inevitably put the Magic Unification Association at a disadvantage in its international status, and will be condemned by other world dominant forces."
"So for the sake of your organization's reputation, we are willing to replace the second point with other conditions."
The old man had an expression that said, "It's not that we don't want to, but we are concerned about the reputation of your Magical Unification Association."
But what he said was indeed right. In this world, there does exist the principle of "non-interference in each other's internal affairs" jointly promulgated by the major world hegemonic forces.
The content is that no world hegemonic power has the right to interfere in other countries directly or indirectly for any reason, or to interfere in the internal and foreign affairs of other countries under any pretext, or to force other countries to accept their own will, political system, ideology and beliefs by any means.
On the surface, this treaty announced to the world the neutrality of the world's hegemonic forces, indicating that although they have power above that of any country, they will not interfere with the development of any country.
In reality, it is a shackle used by the world's dominant forces to check and balance each other, especially targeting the behemoth that is the church.
Because the church's influence on the Penician continent is so great that it is even greater than the influence of the church at its peak in medieval Europe.
If the church is allowed to develop without restrictions, there will probably be a world with one superpower and many strong countries, which is a situation that other world hegemonic forces do not want to see.
In terms of strength and background, two or three world-dominant forces may not be able to suppress the church, but if all the world-dominant forces unite, even the all-powerful church will have to retreat.
It can be said that if it were not for the principle of "non-interference in each other's internal affairs", more than one-third of the countries on the mainland would probably be directly or indirectly controlled by the church.
Although the church can still easily influence a country's will, due to the principle of "non-interference in each other's internal affairs", unless there is a country that is really not afraid of death and provokes this behemoth, such as massacring believers, the church will not easily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. (At least not openly.)
Similarly, world-leading forces such as the Assassin's Guild, the Warrior Association, the Kendo Alliance, the Adventurer's Guild, the Mercenary Association, the Magic Integration Association, etc. are also restricted by this treaty.
Therefore, what the other representative said was correct. If the Magic Unification Association really sent people to the Magic Province of the Kingdom of Solcie, it would indeed be considered a violation of the principle of "non-interference in each other's internal affairs."
However, this non-interference is principled.
That is under the premise that other forces or countries do not harm the interests of the world's hegemonic forces.
"Although what you said makes sense, do you believe that even if the Magic Unification Association destroyed the Kingdom of Solcie, other world hegemons would not say anything?"
"After all, the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs is based on the premise that other countries or organizations do not interfere with the world's hegemonic forces."
"If any country or organization attempts to challenge the authority of the world's hegemonic power, we have unlimited right to self-defense and counterattack."
"According to incomplete statistics from the Magical Unification Association, your country has poached at least 800 talents from us over the years, if not 1,000. Many of your technological breakthroughs are the result of these people, right?"
"Don't say that the Magical Unification Association is heartless. If any other world-leading power was fleeced like this, you would have been destroyed long ago."
Rhine said mercilessly.
"Okay, just tell me your conditions. I've already told them that you have no intention of taking over the Kingdom of Solcie." Looking at the two parties arguing, the Golden Witch couldn't stand it anymore.
"Wow, sis, it's really hard for me to have fun if you sell me out like this." Rhine complained.
"Change the conditions. As long as it's not too excessive, I'll agree to it on their behalf." The Golden Witch directly took over the work of the opposing delegation.
"Can you make the decision?"
"No, but if they don't agree, then I will have no choice but to resign. If it weren't for my friendship with the royal family over the years, I really wouldn't want to get involved in this matter."
"Then I'll have to ask for a huge sum, so that you can follow me in the future." Rhine began to poach people in front of everyone in the Kingdom of Solcière.
"Follow you? Can you afford to support me? You should know that my magic is quite special and requires a large amount of gold, often calculated by tons." The Golden Witch said bluntly.
Today, the Golden Witch has already reached the pinnacle of legend, and her domain is transforming into the divine domain. Unlike Natasha's confusion, the Golden Witch has a clear goal, because like Rhine, she is on the path of creating her own magic system.
Once she successfully builds her ideal kingdom of God, the "Golden City", she will most likely become the first witch in the world to break through the realm of God.
(In fact, the peak of Legend can directly break through to the Divine Realm. It is better to say that there is no such realm as the Half-Step Divine Realm. It is only because the Divine Realm is actually the foundation of the Kingdom of God that the term Half-Step Divine Realm came into being.)
"What? Are you looking down on me? It's just gold, isn't it? As long as you follow me, I guarantee you'll have endless supply of gold." Rhine patted his chest and promised.
Do you know why gold can become the "universal currency of the universe"?
Because gold is not only one of the most precious elements on Earth, it is also very rare in the universe, with a content of only 0.6 parts per billion.
In most film and television works, gold is a very precious metal no matter which planet or alien world it is in, and the world where Rhine is now is no exception.
This is because gold is not created by the planets themselves. Planets themselves do not have the ability to create gold.
The element gold needs to be synthesized in an extremely high temperature and high pressure environment, and there are currently only two ways to form it.
One is the death of super-large stars. Stars that have existed since the beginning of the universe and are hundreds of times more massive than the sun will end their lives in an extremely gorgeous supernova explosion at the last moment of their lives, and gold is born. Another is the collision of two neutron stars merging, which will also throw out a large amount of gold. (Without considering magic.)
Although gold is rare throughout the universe, it is readily available to players.
Not only can they purchase large amounts of gold at low prices from players in the infinite world, after all, gold itself is very cheap in the main god space. If they don't mind losing money, they can even directly melt the gold coins exchanged for world coins.
"You know alchemy?" the Golden Witch asked in surprise.
"Of course you will. As long as you follow me, I will refine as much as you want." Looking at the somewhat tempted Golden Witch, Rhine added fuel to the fire.
"Ahem... Lord Wiseman, don't worry about the gold. The Golden Witch and our royal family have established a deep partnership for hundreds of years. Our Solcie Kingdom can still provide the gold she needs."
"Mr. Wiseman, please tell me your conditions."
Seeing that his legendary witch was about to be poached, the king, who had been pretending to be mute, quickly spoke up.
"I want two port cities on the southern coast of your kingdom."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. You should know that the Kingdom of Solcie is a maritime country, and port cities are very important to maritime countries. It can be said that half of the fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Solcie comes from maritime trade."
Before the king even opened his mouth, the ministers below became excited.
Because there are only four port cities in the Kingdom of Solcière, Rhine will take away half of them at once.
"Two cities are too many. I can only give you one. I'm counting on them to make money to support me." said the Golden Witch.
"One at a time, but I want the biggest one." Rhine took out the map and drew a circle in the south of the Kingdom of Solcie as if he was prepared. (Red.)
"No, this city has the largest trading port in the Kingdom of Solcie." The Golden Witch shook her head and pointed to the small trading port next door. "This is for you."
"Deal." Rhine said cheerfully.
"So straightforward?" The Golden Witch was stunned, and everyone present was stunned.
The Kingdom of Solcie was already prepared to bleed heavily this time, but they didn't expect that they could solve the problem with just a small city? You know, using a small city to calm the anger of the Magical Integration Association, they won't lose out anyway.
What's more, the city was only built in the last ten years or so, and its scale of development is not too large. The attached port has a throughput of only one-fourth of other ports and one-tenth of the largest port. Even if it is abandoned, it will not cause any pain to the kingdom.
Rhine also felt that he had made a profit, because he had only thought of renting it for fifty or a hundred years and then returning it, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly give him a city. No, it was given to the Magical Integration Association, and he was just managing it on behalf of them.
"Of course, there is more to it than that. I hope that the Magic Unification Association will have absolute control over this city, and the Kingdom of Solcie must not interfere with the development of this city in any way. Otherwise, the Magic Unification Association will regard this as a provocation to the association."
