Whether you like it or not, the old days will eventually pass away.
But the memories of the past will still exist, and they will always remain in your heart.
Carey felt that way at the moment.
Standing in front of his manor, he basked in the sun lazily.
At the edge of the sky, the faint sunlight shone down and shone on his body, adding a little warmth to his whole body.
But even in such a warm season, Kaili still showed a little melancholy on his face.
"Are you getting old after all?"
Carey sighed softly, and this thought flashed through his mind.
At this moment, it has been more than ten years since the Naduo Kingdom was established.
The Kingdom of Naduo was built on the remains of the Kingdom of Kutu, and its initial territory was the size of the Kingdom of Kutu in the past.
It wasn't until the establishment of the Naduo Kingdom for a period of time that the Kutu Kingdom slowly opened up to the outside world under the leadership of King Kailin, and grew into a well-deserved overlord.
And all of this should be attributed to the King of Kutu Kingdom, His Majesty Kailin known as the King of Knights.
Kailin Nadeau, this is a name that was rarely known by people in the past few decades, but its reputation has become more and more prominent in the past few decades.
He was brave and good at fighting, and he defeated a large number of enemy troops with weak forces more than once. He even defeated 100,000 rebel troops head-on under the King City of Kutu with an army of less than 10,000.
That battle established the foundation of the Kingdom of Nador, and also established the status of Kaelin knights.
In the following decades, with the expansion of the Naduo Kingdom, the reputation of the Knight King spread far and wide, and even spread to the entire continent.
Carey is proud of Kaelin as a friend.
From the present point of view, his life can be regarded as mediocre, at least compared to those geniuses, he actually does not have any extraordinary talents, but he was born in a prominent and noble family, so many people looked at him with high regard.
And the most correct choice he has made in his life is to become friends with the young knight king back then.
Kailin, this is Carey's lifelong friend and his best friend.
In the battle when the King of Knights entered Kutu, he was the one who opened the gate of Kutu, opened the way for the King of Knights to enter Kutu, and laid the foundation for the future.
And after Cavalier King Kailin ascended to the top, he also got rich rewards for it.
A large number of territories originally belonging to the Kutu royal family were divided and finally handed over to him.
Although it is said that a large number of nobles have benefited from this move, there is no doubt that, as the best friend of the King of Knights, Carey must be allocated the most elite territory.
In the days that followed, Carey also worked under his former best friend, working hard to contribute to the nascent Kingdom of Nado, making the country more prosperous slowly.
They succeeded in doing everything they had promised.
With their efforts, the entire Naduo Kingdom became prosperous at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just over ten years, while the Kingdom of Naduo expanded outwards, the country also prospered rapidly.
The population began to grow continuously. With the efforts of the King of Knights, the major pillar industries also developed rapidly, which not only absorbed a large number of labor force, but also attracted a steady stream of outside businessmen.
Merchant exchanges, population multiplication, and relatively peaceful policies all lead to the tone of peaceful development of the entire Naduo Kingdom.
Everything is so beautiful.
Here, I have to mention the kindness of the King of Knights.
Compared with all the kings in the past, the King of Knights is kind.
After he became king, he re-enacted the law, not only changed many unreasonable rules, but also canceled many punishments.
In the current Naduo Kingdom, there is no death penalty anymore.
The most serious punishment is to degrade people into slaves and become absenteeism in the future.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, the kindness of the Knight King, and on the other hand, it is also out of development considerations.
In this era of backward productivity, in this case, many jobs are actually quite dangerous.
For example, in mining and road construction, the death rate is very high.
Using those who have committed serious crimes to do these dangerous things is just a waste utilization, which not only gives these people a way out, but also saves others from doing such dangerous things.
In the final analysis, after experiencing all kinds of turmoil in the past, the population in the Naduo Kingdom is still insufficient at this moment, so how can it be consumed so easily
Looking at it from the perspective of Chen Heng as a time traveler, those movements are the death penalty, which is undoubtedly too heavy, and it is also a serious waste of manpower.
To create so many death row prisoners for various reasons every year, it is better to use these prisoner waste.
But in the eyes of others, this is a manifestation of kindness.
The great King of Knights mercifully pardoned those wicked people who committed the most crimes, allowing them to have a way to survive, and also benefiting many families, so that they no longer have to engage in those dangerous jobs. What is it if it is not kindness
In order to better implement this policy, in the following years, the King of Knights took back several privileges of many lords.
The first thing he got back was the power to appoint and remove the personnel of the various lords and the power to use lynching.
In the past, the lords of various places were basically the local emperors in their own territories, who had all the powers in the territories.
They can freely appoint and remove officials within their territory, use lynching, and even dispose of all caravans passing through their territory without authorization.
Raping women and killing civilians is just a common thing in the eyes of the lords.
And now, the King of Knights has taken back this part of his power.
From then on, the appointment and removal of officials of the lords must be approved by the king, and even some key positions must be filled by people sent by the king.
As for the power to lynch, that too was abolished.
At least in name, the future lords no longer have the right to act against the citizens of their own territory without authorization.
As soon as these measures come out, they will naturally trigger a backlash.
The lords who had just settled down within a few years began to riot one after another.
Many people even staged a rebellion again, attempting to push the King of Knights down and support the members of the former Kutu royal family to come to power.
However, this is what the King of Knights expected.
In the past few years, in order to quickly calm down the situation and preserve vitality, the King of Knights conferred a large number of lords.
Seriously speaking, this is a kind of helpless move, just a stopgap measure.
Many of the canonized lords were not Chen Heng's own subordinates, but those nobles who had already mastered a lot of strength.
Naturally, it is impossible for these people to be of one mind with Chen Heng.
Moreover, their strength is too strong, and they must be weakened as much as possible, and the territories they hold are also brought into the hands of the kingdom.
So after recuperating for a few years, Chen Heng made a decisive move.
As soon as several measures were taken, a large number of nobles launched a rebellion.
For a moment, it seemed that most of the Naduo Kingdom had raised the flag of rebellion.
Everything seems to go back to the chaotic era.
For that time, Carey has some nostalgia.
He still remembers the scene at that time.
A large number of nobles rebelled, and as a close friend of the Knight King, he naturally stood firmly on the side of the Knight King.
It wasn't just him, Kurdeau, who was in the Northland and was canonized as the Duke of the Northland by the King of Knights, also stood firmly by Kailin's side.
In the entire Naduo Kingdom, the two of them are the strongest supporters of the Knight King.
They firmly believed in the King of Knights and stood firmly by his side.
The King's Guard, this is what people at that time called them for their loyalty.
After that, they fought with the King of Knights.
In just over half a year, the rebellion was quelled.
All rebellious nobles were suppressed.
But this time, the King of Knights was no longer merciful.
But all rebellious nobles were directly deprived of their territories and all their properties were confiscated.
To put it bluntly, except for one life, they basically have nothing left.
As for those lords who upheld neutrality in the war and did not take action or support the Knight King, they were also unlucky.
As neutrals, their fate was not as miserable as that of the rebels. At any rate, they retained some of their territory and strength, but the most essence of the territory was basically deprived.
There were even many neutral lords whose territories inherited by the entire family were completely deprived, and then transferred to other barren places.
The entire Nador Kingdom is unified again.
And compared to the previous one, this time the unity will be greatly strengthened in terms of cohesion.
After all, the previous time, in order to quickly complete the task of replacing the Kutu royal family, the King of Knights did not touch the cheese of those hereditary nobles, but tolerated them, thus only retaining a unified country in name.
But this time, except for a few places, the whole country is under the direct control of the royal family, so naturally there is no problem.
Even a few places without direct jurisdiction, such as the territory of Kaili and Kurudo, have completed reforms in cooperation, and many of them have been appointed and dismissed by the royal family.
Everything passed again.
After this turmoil, the Naduo Kingdom once again ushered in great development.
Carey stood in front of his manor, thinking of that time with some nostalgia.
It was the happiest time of his life.
He followed behind the King of Knights on horseback, conquered cities and territories with him, and contributed to each country.
It's a pity that his strength is still weak.
Compared to Kurudo, who had already awakened the Seed of Life and was already a real knight, he was not even considered a knight apprentice, so he had an accident in a battle and was shot in the chest by an arrow.
That time, he nearly died.
Fortunately, the King of Knights found out in time and rescued him with his own life energy.
But after that, his body became weaker and weaker, and he could no longer continue to fight.
And now, he is even older.
Counting his age, Kailin is already in his early fifties.
He wasn't a knight, and he had been wounded before, so he looked like an old man at the moment.
However, he still pays attention to the news from all directions.
"I heard that Princess Vinal has been in a coma for a long time?"
Under the sun, he looked at his child and asked.
Although the King of Knights has been a king for a long time, for people like Kaili who survived from the previous era, they still prefer to call Venal a princess.
"Yes."
Kaili's eldest son opened his mouth and responded seriously: "It is said that Princess Weiner has been in a coma several times, and this time she has not woken up for several months."
"If the king hadn't used the power in his body to hang him forcibly, I'm afraid Her Royal Highness the queen would have died."
"well."
Carey let out a long sigh.
He was no stranger to this situation, on the contrary, he felt very familiar with it.
That was the case for Vinal's sister, Oliman, and her father, who had exactly the same symptoms.
And now, the same goes for Vinal.
Perhaps, this is the blood disease of the Kutu royal family, which often occurs among members of the royal family, so that it has become what it is now.
"Send me to the palace."
He thought for a while, and finally said, "I want to see His Majesty and the Queen."
If ordinary people want to enter the palace, they will naturally have to go through various troublesome procedures before they are finally allowed to enter.
But as the best friend of the King of Knights, Carey naturally doesn't need to be so troublesome.
So he just gave a brief notification and went in directly.
Walking into the palace and arriving at a familiar palace, a strong smell of medicine came from it, which made people unconscious.
That was the case with Carey.
Sensing the smell around him, he frowned subconsciously before he saw the situation around him clearly.
This is an extraordinarily spacious palace, with exquisite decorations all over the place, but under the exquisite magnificence, there is also a sense of warmth, just like an ordinary girl's room.
This is the residence of the Knight King and Vinal, but now, it has become the exclusive palace of Vinal.
Walking in, Kaili found that the King of Knights was already there.
After many years, Wei Naer, who was still a little girl back then, has already become an old man.
Although she was not very old, the onset of the strange disease on her body tortured her so much that she was aging very quickly, and she looked like an old man from the outside.
At this moment, Vinal was lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep and was temporarily unable to wake up.
The King of Knights stood aside, looking a little tired.
It seemed really exhausting for him, a great knight, to show his appearance like this.
Carey had inquired beforehand, and already knew that the King of Knights hadn't closed his eyes for three full days.
Because the illness on Vinal's body came on very suddenly, in order to suppress Vinal's illness and maintain her life, he has been standing here for the past three days, injecting his own life into Vinal's body Energy, in order to maintain Venal's life.
After three days, even a great knight would feel tired.
"Carrie, you're here."
A gentle voice came from the side.
