Blood of Mercury

As night fell, Faens' royal court was already full of people.

It was a scene like a grand dinner party, but compared to the dinner party, the atmosphere seemed too tense.

Only a very few people accompany Rollnes to dinner. Several people approached him nervously, and were immediately pulled away by the people behind him.

The ministers gathered together to discuss something, and some nobles with only false names were even squeezed out of the door. The white-bearded old man, the high-spirited young general, and some nobles in expensive animal skins quarreled.

"Your Majesty, while there are not many monsters coming up from the big crack now, hurry up and dispatch the Third Legion to exterminate them! Those monsters are underground, and it will be too late!"

"Nonsense! It's just a bunch of monsters. Wouldn't it be a joke if we called the regular army, Farah?"

"That's right, some of us in Farah are good men who are good at hunting, and those stupid monsters are completely unorganized. Although they rushed up from the seal?? It's not enough to be a beast wave..."

"Yeah, isn't it the same as the beast tide. It's just a different type of monsters from the usual ones. Don't be so nervous."

"But the ancient books..."

"Haha, Marquis Cosmo, you've been too nervous this time. You can't believe this old proverb. You taught me."

"No, I swear in the name of Lodakhan, this time is definitely different..."

"Wait! This sentence can't be said nonsense"

"...No, the Marquis is right. I don't feel too good."

"What's not so good, can they still form an army? Besides. Even if they really form an army, they are just a group of brainless monsters. Can they be more powerful than the Titan army?"

On one side, the nobles and ministers were arguing fiercely, while on the other side Rornes just sat in her seat. Slowly chewing the food, watching the farce absent-mindedly.

The young King of the Mountains did not have the same handsomeness or beauty as the rulers of other nations. He is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, his eyes are not big, his cheeks are flushed and he has a big rosacea. His body has a lot of muscles that are not beautiful, but it gives the illusion of being full of fat. , looks like a small potato from a distance.

Because of his image, some people who are not familiar with him even think that Rolnis has dwarf blood in him, and those who hate him call him "Dwarf King" and "That Old Dwarf" in private.

And Rollnis does have the arrogance and fiery temper that are unique to dwarves. And they are completely dismissive of these rumors, and they are too lazy to refute them, so such rumors have even been taken seriously in some areas. This even led to many jokes.

One of the most famous jokes is that not long after Rornes ascended the throne, a traveling druid from Caral, a rather talented bard, wanted to come to Farraro to write a biography of Rornes.

But after he went to Ferraro to look around the country, he wrote in Rornes' biography: "A irascible but wise king, it is believed that this king, who is not very burly, is flowing with A quarter of wrought iron dwarven blood."

after that. Farraro's dwarf king quickly became a big joke and a quarter of that number was just too subtle. Regardless of their appearance, the average height of a half-dwarf is 1.3 to 1.4 meters, while the previous king was a burly mountain man who was more than two meters tall, and he was born with divine power, and the blood of the mountain elders was flowing on his body. Endurance is endless.

If the late king really had a half-dwarf princess...cough.

The picture was too beautiful to look at.

Many people don't understand why a strong and burly old king can give birth to such a descendant as Rornis. To this day, there are still people who usurp the throne because Rornis is the royal blood of the King of the Mountains stolen using the bloodline-stealing ritual.

The name Rornis means "wise and wise" in the language of the mountain people, but no one would ever believe that the king really had a wise mind.

In the three years since he took office. He did almost nothing but maintained the policies of the previous king and continued them as they were. This makes those who expect him to implement drastic changes after he takes office. The enthusiasm of the revolutionary people gradually faded. Getting disappointed with him too.

In addition to the "Dwarf King", which is often used by foreigners, some ministers and nobles of Fararo prefer to call him "The Fool King".

But from the perspective of God. Actually Rollins did nothing wrong.

Fara Ruo has neither faced any crisis nor encountered any big opportunity, but just developed in a slow and flat way. From Rolnis' point of view, maintaining the status quo is already a pretty good choice.

A lot of things are like that, getting worse and worse. Maintaining the status quo will at least guarantee progress.

Since there is still room for progress and room for development, Farraro has not fallen into a deadlock, and there is no need for any form of reform.

Rather, Rollnis himself knew that he had obvious deficiencies in talent compared to his father. But what is valuable about him is that he is soberly aware of this, so he is very smart not to move anything, and everything remains the status quo. Not in the reform of the nobles and the common people who do not understand anything. What changes have really been made in the call for reform.

Rollnis is not as silly as he appears to be.

He can make seemingly big changes in insignificant places, but he has not shaken the fundamental reform. At the same time, he can also give some small benefits to the people, but that's all he can do.

The life force and will of the previous king was too tenacious. While he was tormented by some mysterious curse, his muscles withered, his teeth lost, his hair gray, and he could only swing in bed, he still managed to get everything sorted out before his only son took the throne.

But everyone knows that this is what the ancestors did. This kind of wisdom to realize what will happen in the future, how to deal with it, and what kind of counterattack will be faced, etc., makes the mountain people worship the wisdom of the previous king even more.

After the previous king held his last breath and worked continuously for more than 20 hours, now if Farah really has no problems left...

As long as Rornis honestly walks down the road paved by the previous king, although he will never leave a wise name in history, if nothing happens, Fara Ruo will be on the throne more than his father. much stronger.

Rollnis didn't move, but it showed his wisdom.

After three years of succession, not to mention the Titans, even within Ferraro, few people know the trump card of Rornis.

On the other hand, if Rolnis does any reforms but does not achieve very good results, then the people will naturally feel disappointed after comparing his talents with the previous king, and then they will be disappointed with Rornis. of disrespect.

If compared vertically, Rollnes can also be ranked first among the previous kings of the mountain people. But he really has no room to play.

"Is it planted underground..."

Rornis leaned lazily on his seat, holding a half roasted roast chicken in his right hand~www.wuxiaspot.com~ squinting and thinking about something, it looked like it was In general.

He is not as ignorant of underground species as these people.

After his good friend Rice, who he almost regarded as his own younger brother, was deceived by the Brain Eater in the City of Fortune, Rollnis asked his teacher to check the information on the underground seed.

It took him half a month to get this information from his teacher. At that time he was startled and realized the danger of these things.

Now, Rollnis is a little fortunate that he did not ignore Rice's opinion and went to learn about the underground species. Otherwise, he will really treat the underground seed as a monster like those guys who are no different from stupid pigs.

And now...

Rollnis tore a big mouthful of chicken and chewed it slowly.

Now, the disaster that is about to be caused by the invasion of underground monsters is about to become an opportunity for him to stand out. (To be continued.)
