Chapter 410: Balance and System
Henry had been grinding with the two knights at the gate of the temple for more than twenty minutes, and finally he couldn't see them turn their faces and drive people away...... Reading the latest and most complete novels, I have to say that the etiquette and endurance of these guys are really impeccable, and they don't even show a trace of disgust. He could only bow slightly with regret in thanks, and then went straight back to the Alatan Mansion.
As soon as he entered the gate, the dog in the yard began to bark wildly, and in a short time everyone was arguing. Kogan rushed out in his pajamas and carrying an axe, but he didn't have to walk a few steps before he saw Henry, and a pungent stench hit his face. He couldn't help pinching his nose and cursing loudly: "Oh! Damn it! Did you fall into a? ”
"I can't help it, I've been walking around the sewers for most of the night, and I can't help but get a little dirty." Henry shrugged his shoulders helplessly. At first, he couldn't help but want to vomit, but after a long time, he got used to it. To be honest, humans are really one of the most adaptable species in the world, and they can block out such a disgusting smell in such a short period of time.
At this time, Viconia also came out of the door and frowned and asked, "No wonder all the dogs are barking, it really stinks to death." Aren't you deciphering the Nexera scrolls? How did you get to the sewers? ”
Henry sighed slightly and explained, "You think I'm willing to go into the smelly sewers?" It's not about preparing for the next target, the Half-Lich. Its name is Congus, and it is currently under seal. But don't worry, I've fixed this. It's getting late, so let's go back to sleep, and we'll have to temporarily add exorcism to your weapons early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it won't be able to deal any damage to the Half-Lich at all. ”
"Okay. But I'd better take a shower right away. Otherwise, it won't be long before the whole house will be filled with this pungent smell. Viconia smiled playfully and turned to walk back into the house. She obviously didn't care what she had done, she just wanted to take a chance to see Henry's embarrassment.
"I think it's time for you to take a shower, too. You must know that this smell is really not ordinarily unpleasant, and I am afraid that these dogs will not be quiet without washing them. The dwarven warrior yawned and returned to his room.
Looking at the faces of the servants around him who were holding their breath, Henry smiled bitterly and shook his head and laughed at himself: "As you wish, go take a bath right away." Come out, Fed, I know you're around the corner. ”
As soon as the words fell. Fede crept out of the shadows. She asked with a look of disbelief: "My stealth skills are absolutely fine, how did you show up?" ”
"Now? No, no, no, I'm guessing. With such a loud bark, even an unresponsive guy like Kogan got up, and as an alert assassin you couldn't possibly still be sleeping. But I really didn't expect you to jump from the window on the second floor. ”
Speaking of which, Henry looked up and down at the demon-descended elf, who usually seemed cautious. I really didn't see how she reacted at some point was really crazy enough, you must know that the second floor here is not the lowest residential building on the earth, the first floor is at least six to eight meters. Coupled with being barefoot in pajamas, ordinary people are afraid that they can break their legs.
Feder shook his tail with a look of realization. "Oh. I understand. You've got a good brain, and you're a clever mage. Since it's okay, I'll go to bed, good night. ”
After she finished speaking, she followed the carving on the exterior wall like a gecko, and climbed up to the windowsill on the second floor in a few clicks.
The servant standing in the courtyard was stunned. They were all thinking in their hearts: what kind of guests these hosts invited, dark elves, and rude dwarves, that little girl seemed harmless, but the skill of climbing the wall with one hand just now was probably practiced by frequent burglary.
Normally, a big nobleman of Henry's level should often hold banquets to get closer to other nobles and big businessmen. Not to mention that the people who enter and leave the mansion are celebrities, at least they must know basic etiquette. But now it's good, it has directly become the base camp of the adventure team. Not to mention etiquette, these guys are directly grabbed by hand when eating.
But Henry himself didn't care. Anyway, with his current status, he doesn't need to be too involved with the local nobles at all. After all, legendary spellcasters, dukes, dragon slayer warriors, masked mages at the highest level, and the behind-the-scenes controllers of half of the underground forces, no matter which of these identities are taken out, they can calm the scene, and there are no unsightly people looking for trouble.
If he really contacted each other as actively as ordinary nobles, I am afraid that those people in the Council of Six would not even be able to sleep well. It is important to know that the liaison between the nobles generally means a private alliance, which is a political force that should not be underestimated. Once it is formed, it is not impossible to overthrow the current regime, especially now that Am's system is a bit like the embryonic stage of capitalism, the impact on the traditional farming aristocracy is a bit large, so the dissatisfaction and trouble caused are also very large.
In England, where sheep ate people, the aristocracy drove out all the peasants and tenants on the land, planted pasture and began to raise sheep, in order to get more profits. Am's current state is similar, and countless nobles see the benefits of trade and want to run their own domains.
However, the farmers of the Great 6 of Faeron are much more powerful than those on Earth. Although they have little power to fight back against monsters, they will definitely organize armed riots against nobles, and they will also ask adventurers, holy warriors, rangers, and priests of the good gods for help, in short, no one can touch Lao Tzu's land. It can be said that the reason why the southern region is still maintaining a backward tenant system is all thanks to these armed people, and of course, the nosy adventurers and holy warriors.
If it weren't for them, they might have entered a capitalist society long ago. After all, the entire Big 6 only has the most business environment here, and after such a long time of accumulation, as long as the six-member council can be ruthless, with Am's superior geographical location, it will definitely become the most powerful country in the West University 6.
But it's a pity, what the Council is best at is playing balance and harmony, and the three main gods enshrined in the temple area are the best embodiment, Taros, the god of storms (evil camp), Haim, the god of guardians (neutral camp), and Loshanda, the lord of dawn (good camp), it can be said that no matter which one is missing, the other two have to fight, but the three together form a good check on each other, so that the temple has a strong strength but can only be trapped in such a small place and dare not leave.
In addition to this, they also entrusted the Knights of the Most Zealous Heart to deal with the conflict between the nobles and the commoners. Everyone knows that the Paladin is the embodiment of order and goodness, and in general, when performing such tasks, they can only be adjusted as much as possible, and both sides are advised to take a step back. Because the noble lords represented order, and the oppressed commoners represented goodness, the fall of the paladin to either side meant that there was a risk of depravity.
Henry bet that the Council did this on purpose, both to ensure that there would be no major chaos and to limit the strength of the Knights. You must know that every year, many newcomers drive themselves crazy because of this kind of task, and finally choose to fall without hesitation. The fallen paladins were a potential threat in some way, and the Order had to disperse their forces to deal with these problems.
These practices can be said to be linked one after another, closely linked to form a set of mutual constraints. Although relative stability is ensured, most of the strength is basically lost in internal friction. Even so, the country is still very powerful on the surface, at least much stronger than the Baldur's Gate region in the north.
That's why Henry went to great lengths to mess up Am. With enough money, an abundant population, a masked mage guild, a shadow thief guild, and a knight order, it can be said that there is basically nothing lacking, and as long as a strong leader appears, the country can be turned upside down in an instant.
He would never allow such a strong neighbor to appear around his territory, so a moderate weakening would be a very good option. After all, the Tassel in the south also needs to be on guard, so after the civil strife in Am, he can intervene appropriately and transform it into a vassal state that is strictly dependent on the north economically and militarily.
Almost all the powerful countries on the planet do this, and Henry is also learning and selling. Just as he was lying in the bath and quietly thinking about how he could fool Nalya into a glorious-stirrer, uh, no, he should be called a reformer, suddenly the bathroom door opened.
In the hazy mist, a slender figure slowly emerged, and it turned out to be Viconia. I saw her deliberately slow down, taking off her silk nightgown with (seductive) movements as she walked, and asked with a smile: "I think you haven't come out after washing here for a long time, it's a silent invitation, right?" ”
"Of course, it's a pleasure to bathe with a charming lady." As he spoke, Henry stood up and saluted slightly, and his little brother also stood up to salute.
Viconia couldn't help but sneer when she saw this action: "Haha! It's nice to talk about, but I'm not just here to take a shower. ”
"I'm ready for everything else, and I can start at any time as long as you give me the order." Henry leaned in.
The two men kissed each other first, then began to caress each other's sensitive parts, and at the same time, their bodies began to rub back and forth. After a few minutes, Viconia panted and said, "I'm already burning, what are you waiting for, let's get down to business." I promised that you could take the initiative today, whatever you wanted. ”
Henry gently licked the pointed ears of the black beauty in his arms and whispered, "As you wish!" My lady! With a hard push behind his back, the little brother finally entered the warm and humid cave. The intense stimulation caused Viconia to let out a (high) high-pitched moan, and then the two collided violently, and a "pop" sound produced by the impact of the skin sounded.
