"What do you think," Edith said back to the bed and sat down. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Bathroom?"

"I mean the new law. ”

"Uh......" Cole hesitated, "I'll write to my father tomorrow to tell my father about His Majesty's conditions, but I don't think he will agree." ”

"Really?" Edith couldn't deny.

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Cole was a little bolder, "I have also read the booklet given by His Majesty, let's not talk about whether the above content is true, the biggest nobleman used as an example is only the son of an earl, and now it is equivalent to a duke without a fief - seriously, if I were just a knight, I would definitely make the same choice." But his father is the rightful ruler of the northern realm, the Duke of Eternal Night City, and his status and power are far from the eldest son of this honeysuckle, once he agrees to His Majesty, it means that he will hand over the territory to others. This is not an uplift, but a real decline. ”

"That's a good point," Edith smiled and nodded, but before her brother could get happy, she continued, "but you overlooked. ”

"What?"

"That's where we can take those positions and powers. ”

Cole froze.

"You're obviously focused on the stories at the back of the manual, but I'm more concerned about the opening paragraph. Edith picked up the bedside pamphlet and flipped open the cover, "If that's what Your Majesty thinks...... I have to say it's very interesting. ”

"Feudal...... Cause?" Cole probed, "do you understand what it means?"

"It's just a coined word, and you can think of it as our current system, or you can call it aristocracy. ”

The younger brother looked confused.

Edith shook her head secretly, these things seem to be rather awkward at first glance, and seem inexplicable as a preface in the brochure, far less vivid than the examples that follow, but if you understand what it really means, you will find that this is the basis for Roland Wimbleton's decision to implement the new law.

It was the first time she had seen such a novel and thorough statement.

"Have you ever wondered why we divide the land among our knights and retainers?"

"That way they will be loyal to the Kant family," Cole muttered, "and they will be able to recruit more brave men to serve them." ”

"What if Father takes possession of all the Northland?" Edith asked.

"Do you mean that it all belongs to the family?" the younger brother shook his head after thinking for a moment, "Of course not, if they take possession of all the territories, the knights will leave the northern realm - they have no property, and they will definitely look for opportunities elsewhere, and the same is true for the minor nobles, so wouldn't it mean that there is only one nobleman in several towns?"

"Isn't it good?"

"Of course!" Cole blinked, as if he couldn't understand why his sister would ask such a simple question, "The northern border is so big, how can our family manage it, if Cliff City is attacked, the guards will set out from Eternal Night City, it will take about half a week just to get there, not including the time it takes to pass the news." Moreover, it is also very troublesome to collect taxes and grain, and we must not expect those untouchables to pay these things consciously. ”

"Therefore, in order to keep our own land, we continue to expand our vassals, which is ultimately caused by the needs of war and the limited ability to administer - which Your Majesty considers to be the main cause of the feudal system. Edith stroked the page, "However, the situation has changed now, and no matter how much we expand our ranks, we will not be able to stop His Majesty's thunderous blow, and his army has no rival in the entire kingdom. At the same time, His Majesty also firmly believed that a strong town hall could manage the affairs of the whole territory, and naturally there was no need to divide the land to the nobles. ”

"This ......" Cole opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

Roland Wimbledon believes that this is a historical necessity. She pointed to the last sentence of the opening sentence, "A fully functioning centralized government will inevitably replace the feudal aristocracy, because a unified management plan will make better use of the resources of the whole kingdom and exploit the potential of the people, so that the whole kingdom will burst into a powerful productive force, and the productive forces will determine which power will continue." ”

"Nonsense," cried Cole in a low voice, "what is productivity, and is it better than anyone else to farm? ten peasants can't beat a knight, and govern the whole country...... Where did he get so many people to take care of the taxes, and he had to entrust the nobles to do it? If those people could really collect the money, what difference would it be with now? The untouchables didn't care who was their king. ”

"I'm as curious as you are on this," Edith said, "but it is impossible for someone who can write such a statement to carry out this new law unprepared, don't you think?" she paused, "and we'll visit him again tomorrow, this time with me." ”

"So fast?" Cole was surprised, "don't you usually wait until the other party brings up your identity?"

"I can't wait for that time," Edith shrugged, "and don't write to my father just yet, you heard him say before you left that I'm going to make this mission." ”

"Could it be...... Do you want to promise Your Majesty?" he gasped, "Father will kill you!"

"Huh?"

"Uh...... No, I mean he's going to hate you," Cole reclaimed, "after all, the main reason he's letting you go is to keep his dukeship." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to convince," Edith said, raising an eyebrow, "since he's already given the terms, you'll have to let me bargain, right?"

The next day's trauma test reports were delivered to Roland's desk one by one.

The devil's body is not much stronger than that of a witch, and both guns and swords can cause fatal wounds, but probably due to the difference in physiology, toxins have little effect on damage.

For example, chlorine, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide do not affect the madness, and even if they do, they are caused by weakening the active ingredients of the red mist.

The same is true for Dream Water and Mad Pills, the former can't make it sleepy, and the latter can't make it react to madness.

As for the red mist, which was decomposed and turned into several gases and water, it was confirmed that some of them could be burned and emitted a foul odor, and some of them were nitrogen, and the rest of the composition was unknown. However, these should not be the necessities that the devil depends on to survive, mainly because of the subtle magic surging in the mist, which is why the red mist cannot be preserved for a long time.

In addition, when the temperature rises to 300 degrees, the red mist will accelerate its decomposition, and when it is close to 800 degrees, the fog will even burn.

Roland folded the report into a drawer, for now, in addition to the conventional hot weapons, fire is also a good choice to deal with the devil, at least in dispersing the red mist, the effect of high temperature is very significant, when attacking the enemy camp, a fire may be able to reverse the devil's situation in the home battle in an instant.
