Within one day after the royal family was completely wiped out, a statement signed by four border princes started from the Royal Capital of Arestle and was transmitted to all corners of the kingdom. The document was sent by the Blade of the Night and the soldiers of the princes. , even those remote mountain villages were not ignored.
The statement roughly describes what the royal family has done over the years, as well as the decision of the grand dukes to jointly exercise the power to re-elect the royal family. Now that the royal family has been resolved, the temporarily undecided positions are vacant, and a parliament composed of four border princes is temporarily acting. , commanding the entire Arestle.
This statement specifically mentioned the victims of those experiments, informing them that if they heard of the existence of this document and were still fleeing or hiding their existence at this moment, they could choose not to hide anymore. The four border agents The guild helps them.
The rest explains some general legal adjustments in the future. Among them, the adjustments to the rights of the nobility are particularly serious. It is clear that fixed industries will be retained, but there will no longer be any preferential treatments such as tax exemptions or even taxes. It will also be significantly adjusted according to the number of industries.
There is a faint hint of threat in and out of the words, so these guys who were once nobles and had privileges beyond ordinary residents should not be ignorant and do anything to protest for the reduction of privileges. What will happen to the royal family? Put it out there, do it one by one, and you won’t get used to this group of existences.
I wonder how those nobles feel about this. Are they glad that they have not been completely liquidated, or are they resenting the reduction of their rights?
But for ordinary residents, this is definitely a good thing to a certain extent. In the past, Arestle's legal provisions that were extremely biased towards the nobility left them basically without any status or rights in front of this group of nobles, except for hard power. Except for a few lucky people, generally speaking, it will be like that for the rest of their lives.
Within the Royal City of Aleister, the newsboys were running around the streets and alleys with the latest newspapers printed by the newspaper office, announcing the biggest news in recent days to people.
"The latest news, the unknown things that the royal family has done, the four princes co-leading the Alestra Council, the newly promulgated laws and regulations...!"
The shouts of the newsboy quickly attracted the attention of the residents on the street. Although they calmed down after confirming that the explosion of the palace was not an invasion by foreign enemies, they said it was a lie if they were not curious. Naturally, they were prepared to pay for a copy, and then they I found out that the newspapers for these two days are free of charge.
"The newspaper has said that the big news in the past few days has something to do with all of us. We all need it. This money will be treated as their request. I hope everyone will continue to support Wangcheng Daily in the future."
The newsboy's words completely eliminated the doubts of ordinary residents. Since it doesn't require money, what nonsense is there?
In this way, these newspapers that recorded the recent situation were quickly circulated to the hands of the residents of the Royal City, and a large number of the remaining ones were delivered to the towns in Arestle outside the Royal City via carriages. .net
The contents of these newspapers are not the same. After all, the residents of the Royal City saw the palace being bombed into the sky with their own eyes, but the rest of the Alestele people outside the Royal City may not know about it until they have to delay it for several days.
"The tax has been reduced. It's a good thing. Oh, you don't have to salute the nobles when you see them in the future. Well, it's better to wait for a while. I seem to have heard my father say something similar before, but the result is still the same now. It's not worth risking the possibility of being made difficult for just a salute... Oh? What's that saying?"
There were citizens who had finished their own business or simply the shopkeepers of relatively quiet shops, holding the latest daily newspaper and reading the content on it. While reading, they let out self-conscious sighs because of the content.
There is no such thing as the Internet in this world. If residents want to know about the major events that have happened, they must rely on word of mouth or these newspapers and the like. However, after all, these things are printed by humans, so they have some degree of authenticity. Can't say.
"..."
A sturdy middle-aged man who had just finished his porter job and returned to his residence in the city wall area fell into deep thought while looking at some news in the free newspaper in his hand. The content above was related to him, but his reason Telling him the authenticity of the content
It's really hard to confirm.
He put the newspapers he planned to take back to pad the table into his pocket and returned to his residence in the city wall area, a fairly spacious and neat wooden house built between dilapidated houses.
Taking out the key and pushing open the door, the middle-aged man handed the newspaper to the other two younger men who were eating baked potatoes and prepared to take over his work.
"Why do you have so much money to buy a newspaper?"
"It's free. Take a look here and find it somewhat believable."
"It's free and such a good thing, what are you looking for?"
When one of the young men raised his head to ask, the middle-aged man just pointed at some of the contents in the newspaper and asked him to read it and judge its credibility.
"..."
The young man's behavior was not much different from that of the middle-aged man before. He quickly fell silent after seeing that part of the newspaper, and the half-eaten baked potato in his hand was unconsciously put back on the plate.
"I can't say, I can't tell whether what is said here is true or false, but what is certain is that this is the first time in so many years that they have brought these things to the table, and it seems that we are not the only ones. these people."
"What do you think about what it says about me, the victims, going to find them?"
"...Uncle, it's hard to say. Do you remember why we came to the royal city? If they know our existence, they deliberately lure us out to clean it up at once."
"Do you think we are worthy of them spending so much time, directing and acting in such a big play?"
The middle-aged man asked lightly, and the young man fell silent. After coming to the royal city for so long, he realized how insignificant the power of people like him was. With average talents and insufficient resources, it was difficult to touch those existences.
Not to mention, let them pay for what they have done, otherwise they would not still live in this terrible walled area. Therefore, although what uncle said is simple, it is indeed correct.
"Oh, it said that the city wall area will be rebuilt. Let's see if it is true then. If it is true, then the previous content should also be true. We are not worthy of these calculations..."
The young man sighed, picked up the potatoes placed on the table and gnawed them clean. Then he picked up the cloth bag and walked out of the house with another young man who didn't speak. No matter what happened, the money for the meal must be earned back. , hungry and unable to do anything.
"We still need time to wait and see."
The middle-aged man held the newspaper, read the contents, and murmured to himself. The ever-burning flame in his chest actually lowered its temperature by a few points without even realizing it.
"Give them some time to wait and see. After all, the royal family has had the same attitude towards these existences for so many years. If these victims want to confirm and accept these changes, they have to be mentally prepared."
In the Seed of Eden space, Ciel held the newspaper in his hand and drank coffee on the table while chatting with Edward opposite about the victims of the royal family.
"Indeed, I hope they can believe in us sooner."
While Edward responded, he looked at this huge space. The size of the Seed of Eden had expanded to a much larger level than before, and the length, width and height of the cube space exceeded 100 meters. The things that can be accommodated can be said to be very exaggerated.
"Yes, what about the others? One is to accommodate those temporarily free people from the Night Church who have entered Aleister. We are not short of space now, but we are in short supply of people. Not only Aleister's original There is still a lot of undeveloped land in the country, and the land in Seventan can actually be used."
After drinking down the cup of coffee in his hand, Ciel continued to talk about Arestle's development after that.
"Yes, Severantan's previous distress was largely due to the bitter cold in their land and Aleister's premeditated blockade, which caused them to fall into a slow death process. In fact, that land of ice and snow There are quite a lot of minerals buried under it. These things can be used for the magic industry that Arestle is currently developing.
Up. "
"Nowadays, as long as we open a little way for the old Severant land from the Arestle side, it won't be too difficult to let that side develop slowly."
Edward nodded and drew a line on the map on the table with a pen, representing a road leading from Arestle to Severtan.
"You are an expert on those things in the ice and snow zone. Listen to you. It is definitely better to absorb people from the Night Church than to absorb refugees. After all, although there is no guarantee that every member is trustworthy, at least they have a certain basic knowledge."
"The rest are those giant dragons. Tsk tsk tsk. In theory, Aleister will be the first window for the dragons from Dragon Island to set foot on the mainland. This is all because of the professor and Wang Yu. , that group of incredibly powerful beings can also establish a connection with Aleister."
Charles said, smacking his lips, feeling that Arestle was indeed prospering. After the royal family was gone, many things suddenly became clear, and the feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds emerged spontaneously. And where did these things come from to a large extent, he Both Edward and I understand it very well.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it too. Then there is what Wang Yu said about Serin and the so-called "Utopia". He is currently studying the things left by Roland in the void. We should further confirm and confirm this matter. Be alert, have you gained anything? "
"There are some, right? If you connect the somewhat contradictory things that the royal family has done, and combine it with the information collected by the Night Blade's intelligence team from other kingdoms, you will find that these somewhat inexplicable things are not just Happened in Alestler."
"My father and the Grand Dukes already know about it, and they are also seeking relevant information."
"Um……"
At the same time, in the void, Wang Yu once again took Aviya to the material realm in the void, where the "secret" left by Roland was located.
"Let's try it."
Looking at the familiar fortress square in front of him, Wang Yu extended the power of the chariot. I wonder if he has the ability to break it open with his strength now?
"Um?"
With a slight sigh, Wang Yu felt that the information fed back by the power of the chariot had no effect at all. The power of the chariot could not act on this fortress. This kind of feedback would only appear in one case.
That is when facing the concept of "life", the power of the chariot will have no effect at this time, which means...
Is this fortress a living thing?
