Chapter 56 The Problem of Inheritance
A whole group of attendants followed Richard, and every time he gave an order, one of his attendants would rush away and pass the order on, and when Richard walked all the way to his study, the whole Black Rose Castle moved, and everyone knew that the patriarch had returned.
When he sat down in the study, Richard had no mind to deal with the tall pile of papers on the table, his thoughts had now flown to the deep blue, and he wished to be able to teleport over immediately.
However, ultra-long-distance teleportation takes a long time to prepare, and this kind of giant magic circle usually needs to be sealed by professional means to prevent the loss of magic power, and the expensive ultra-long-range teleportation can only be afforded by Erijie and Goliath, who are themselves at the helm of a large branch family.
This time, because Richard's return was without warning, and it was extremely coincidental that he encountered the regular maintenance of the magic circle, everything was lying in the warehouse, and it would take at least a whole day for him to leave for the deep blue.
Of course, as a legendary mage, Richard still has several ways to travel quickly, but both the consumption and movement are too great, and he is now under the attention of the three major human empires, and he really can't act too casually.
But soon the communication magic array was ready, and Richard heard the voice of black gold again, but to Richard's surprise, the legendary mage had left the deep blue and went to explore the depths of the plane, not knowing when he would return.
Richard froze down, endured the anxiety and loss in his heart, and chatted with Black Gold for a while about the current situation of Deep Blue before cutting off the communication.
If Richard has a child, that is, Su Helen, Ellie Jie and Coco, Luo Qi has confirmed that she is still not pregnant, and Richard himself has a feeling that this child is most likely in the womb of a legendary mage.
But this matter can only be verified by him in person from Su Helen, with the xìng personality of the legendary mage, he will never say it, she has now gone to explore in the depths of the plane, and she can't be contacted, and she can only confirm it when she returns, but plane exploration is always accompanied by unpredictable risks, since Su Helen went, most likely she is not pregnant.
Richard stood there, quietly watching the light of the telecommunication magic array gradually dim, and at this moment, a strong throbbing suddenly appeared in his heart, as if a very precious thing had been shattered.
Richard's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he could barely suppress the mania and anxiety that surged in his heart, he felt that he had to do something to stop this from happening, but it was just a feeling, a mood, and Richard didn't even know what he needed to stop, how could he know what he should do now.
Again, fate instincts, but it was precisely because it always portended something that caused Richard to be deeply uneasy.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you. ”
Richard looked back and saw that the two magicians who maintained the communication circle were looking at him with some unease.
Richard quickly recovered and said, "I'm fine." He went back to his study.
Just then a squire mage walked in and loaded the latest information into the magic map.
Richard only glanced at the magic map, his eyebrows immediately furrowed, snorted, and asked, "What is Erijie doing in the Streamer Valley at this time, this is simply an idiot, she thinks she can fight that place." ”
The Streamer Valley is a tributary of the Holy River of the Church of Light, and two of the twelve saints of the God of Light were born in the Streamer Valley, which is close to the scope of the Holy Land, unlike the private territories of the nobles of the dynasty.
Even if Alyselle defeats the dynastic army and the Knights of the Church there, it is impossible to occupy the Streamer Valley for a long time, and the Church of Light will inevitably use all the strength of the Church to recover the Holy Land, and may not mind destroying Richard by the way, after all, everyone knows that Ellijie's suzerainty is Richard, and the relationship between the two is closer than that of ordinary leaders.
Hearing Richard's question, the squire mage looked very nervous, and hurriedly said, "Lord Earl said before leaving, this time it is not to occupy the territory, but to distract yourself. ”
"Breathe out and relax. Richard's brows furrowed even tighter, in his heart, he had always believed that every soldier was precious, and Richard would rather spend a lot of money on weapons and equipment than try his best to ensure the safety of his soldiers.
In Richard's view, as long as a soldier can survive, so many times after going to the battlefield will become a powerful veteran, Ellie's behavior is just to let these experienced soldiers die in vain, and, more importantly, since she dares to go to the battlefield, it means that she is not pregnant.
The only thing left is Coco thinking of this, and Richard naturally ruled out this idea, it can't be her, her body is too weak, so weak that even if she has a child, it is difficult to give birth.
In addition, there is a paradox in the bloodline inheritance, the stronger the parents, the higher the talent and greater the potential of the children born, and although ordinary women have a higher chance of having offspring, their children tend to become mediocre.
The old butler walked into the study at this time, and before Richard could speak, he took a step forward and said excitedly: "Young master, good news, Coco is pregnant." ”
"Who's Coco, you're talking about her. Richard looked stunned.
Although the lower the parent's strength, it is easier to have children, but that is not absolute, and a woman who is too weak will not be able to conceive a strong child because it is difficult to carry the claim of a strong baby.
Unfortunately, Coco can be classified as extremely weak, so this is also the reason why Richard didn't think about Coco at all, but the fate of playing tricks on people fell on her.
After confirming again, Richard leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh, although he was a little vaguely disappointed that Su Helen was not the first to be pregnant, but after all, the premonition was not wrong, he did have a child.
Now that Richard's mentality has gradually changed, he is aware of the instability hidden within the Akmund family, and without offspring, the problem of family succession cannot be solved, and the followers are not at ease.
If Richard is defeated and dies one day, who will give these huge inheritances to his brothers and sisters, or the side branches of the family such as Sauron, Goliath, and Ellie.
When Gordon died in battle on the Loki plane, Richard still occupied the floating island, albeit suddenly, and naturally received many of the riches left by Gordon, including members of the Thirteen Knights, such as the Dragon Mage and the Blood Paladin.
Although the process was tortuous and bloody, at least Richard has always firmly occupied the name of righteousness, so he can be protected by Philip, and is also recognized by the traditional aristocratic society, so that the enemies inside and outside his family have to fight him within the rules, which is a big guarantee for Richard to defeat internal and external troubles and rebuild the order of Akmund.
Anyway, no matter how weak the child Coco gave birth to, it was a continuation of his bloodline.
Richard pondered for a while, and said to the old butler: "Increase Coco's allowance, you can do it as much as you want, don't think about the expenses, be careful, her body is too weak, if you don't pay attention, the child is likely to die, so before the child is born, don't let her be tired, and don't let her be frightened and disturbed, if someone dares to be unfavorable to her, whether it is open or dark, no matter who the other party is, you don't have to be polite." ”
"Yes, young master. The old butler agreed.
As soon as the old butler left, a figure rushed in like the wind, and almost bumped into Richard before he could stop, and that charming face was none other than Neris.
"Richard, you're back. Nereus gasped, her chest rising and falling sharply, she didn't stop for a moment after receiving the news, and rushed back directly from the green forest plane.
"How's the situation in Midorimori? Richard asked with a smile.
"The development is very good, now we have pushed the forest back dozens of kilometers, tens of thousands of trees are cut down every day, and if necessary, we can continue to increase it, in addition, the Golden World Tree has grown to fifty meters high, if you have time, you must come and see it, it is spectacular"
Nereus spoke quickly, but the situation in the Green Forest Plane was indeed complicated, and the lecture lasted more than an hour.
In addition to the Golden World Tree, the brood clone has grown to the eighth order, perhaps because it is related to Richard, the Golden World Tree can actually be at peace with the brood clone, and even there are some complementary places in terms of ability.
In the event of an attack by an external enemy, the Brood Clone's battle unit will protect the World Tree, and the Golden World Tree will also use its unique coercion to suppress those low-level magical beasts, forcing them to stay away from their territory.
In terms of the entire life cycle, the first thousand years can be counted as the growth period of the Golden World Tree, but just now, it has forced the will of the forest to retreat hundreds of kilometers away, in this area, it is its territory, in terms of the scope covered by the will, the Golden World Tree is already comparable to the most mature tree of life, this is the difference in natural level.
As a place where battles have been fought, Neres is no stranger to the Green Forest.
Like the other planes, Richard's army was always well equipped and armed to the teeth, and this time Nereis went to the Green Forest with a full ten tons of fortified dwarven gunpowder, which, if used correctly, could blow up hundreds of thousands of the thickest ancient trees.
However, Nereus is not in a hurry to expand his territory, no matter how many trees are cut down now, the capacity of the plane passage is limited, and in the absence of star chrysalis, he can only transport a few hundred cubic meters of the most scarce wood back to Norland, and the rest of the felled wood can only be temporarily piled up around the forward base, so a whole eight hills have been piled up.
ps: I look at the backstage...... All right......
