"What do you think," Edith went back to the bed and sat down.
"A bathroom?"
"I mean the new law."
"Uh..." Cole looked hesitant, "I will write a letter tomorrow to tell my father the conditions that His Majesty made, but I don't think he will agree."
"Really?" Edith couldn't deny it.
Seeing that she did not deny it, Cole became a little more courageous, "I have also read the booklet given by Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether the content above is true or not, the largest nobleman used as an example is only an earl Son, now it is equivalent to a duke without a fief. To be honest, if I were just a knight, I would definitely make the same choice. But my father is the rightful ruler of the North, the Duke of Evernight City, whose status and power are related to this name. Honeysuckle's eldest son is far away, once you agree to His Majesty, it means handing over the territory to others. This is not an improvement, but a real decline."
"That's right," Edith smiled and nodded, but before her brother was happy, she continued, "But you overlooked a point."
"what?"
"That's where we can take those positions and powers."
Cole looked stiff.
"You obviously paid attention to the stories at the back of the brochure, but I paid more attention to the opening paragraph." Edith picked up the brochure by the bedside and opened the cover, "If this is His Majesty's idea... no Not to mention interesting.”
"The feudal... cause?" Cole probed. "Do you understand what it means?"
"It's just a coined word. You can understand it as our current system, or you can call it aristocrats."
The younger brother looked puzzled.
Edith shook her head secretly. At first glance, these contents seemed rather awkward, and it seemed inexplicable to put them in the brochure as the opening paragraph. . Wimbledon decided to implement the basis of the new law.
It was the first time she had seen such a novel and thorough statement.
"Have you ever thought about why we should assign the land to our knights and retainers?"
"That way they'll be loyal to the Kant family," Cole muttered, "and they'll be able to recruit more brave men to serve."
"What if my father took all the Northland?" Edith asked.
"Do you mean to belong to the family?" The younger brother thought for a while and shook his head, "Of course not, if they occupy all the territory, the knights will leave the north and they will have no property, so they will definitely go elsewhere to find opportunities, little nobles. The same is true, doesn’t that mean that there are only Kant family nobles in several towns?”
"Is it not good?"
"Of course!" Cole blinked, seeming to wonder why his sister would ask such a simple question, "The north is so big, how can we manage it alone, if the cliff city is attacked, the guards will start from the eternal night. It takes about half a week just to get there from the city, and that doesn’t include the time to pass the news. Moreover, collecting taxes and grains is also very troublesome. We can’t expect those untouchables to pay these things voluntarily.”
"So in order to keep our own land, we continue to expand our vassals. In the final analysis, it is caused by the needs of war and limited management capabilities. This is also the main reason why His Majesty believes that the feudal system." Edith caressed the page, "However, the situation has changed now. No matter how we expand our team, we cannot stop His Majesty's Thunder Strike. His army has no rivals in the entire kingdom. At the same time, His Majesty also firmly believes that a powerful city hall can manage the affairs of the whole territory. Naturally, there is no need to assign land to nobles."
"This..." Cole opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
"Roland Wimbledon believes that this is the inevitability of history." She pointed to the last sentence of the opening paragraph, "A fully functional centralized government will inevitably replace the enfeoffed nobles, because unified management planning can make better use of resources throughout the territory and excavate The potential of the people, so that the entire kingdom burst into a powerful productive force, and the productive force is the determinant of which side of the power can survive."
"Bullshit," Cole whispered, "what's the productivity, who can farm the land better than anyone else? Ten farmers can't beat a knight, and manage the country... How can he get so many people to be responsible for tax matters? Entrust the nobles to do it? If those people can really receive the money, what is the difference from now? The pariahs don’t care who is their king.”
"I'm as curious as you are at this point," Edith said, raising the corners of her mouth, "but someone who can write this can't be unprepared to implement this new law, don't you think?" She After a pause, "We'll visit him again tomorrow, this time for me."
"So soon?" Cole was surprised. "Don't you usually wait until the other party mentions your identity before revealing it?"
"I can't wait for that time," Edith shrugged. "Besides, don't write to your father. You heard him say before you leave. This time the mission is up to me."
"Could it be... You want to promise Your Majesty?" He gasped, "Father will kill you!"
"Um?"
"Uh… no, I mean he'll hate you," Cole retorted. "After all, his main purpose for sending you there was to keep his dukeship."
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to convince," Edith raised her eyebrows. "Since he has already given the conditions, he must let me bargain, right?"
*****************
The next day's trauma test reports were delivered to Roland's desk one by one.
The body of the devil is not much stronger than that of the witch. Whether it is firearms or swords, it can be fatally wounded, but probably due to the difference in physiological structure, the damage effect of toxins is very small.
For example, chlorine, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide will not affect the madman. Even if it does, it will be caused by weakening the active ingredients of the red mist.
The same is true for Dreamland Water and Kuanghua Pill. The former cannot make it drowsy, and the latter cannot make it maddening.
As for the red fog after it was decomposed, it turned into several kinds of gases and water. After testing by Kemo Strell, it was confirmed that some of them could burn and emit a foul odor, and some of them were nitrogen gas, and the rest of the ingredients were unknown. However, these should not be the necessities for the devil to survive, mainly because of the subtle magic power 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 fog will accelerate the decomposition, and when it is close to 800 degrees, the fog will even burn.
Roland folded the report into the drawer. From the current point of view, in addition to conventional hot weapons, flames are also a good choice for dealing with demons. At least in dispelling red fog, the effect of high temperature is very significant. When attacking the enemy camp, a large fire may It can instantly reverse the devil's situation in home games.
