Chapter 263: A glass of wine
Abigail left, but when she left, her golden amber-like eyes were shining.
Xia He began to handle official duties and used his spiritual sense to scan all the documents when he was away.
There is no business in Storm Point now, but some agriculture has been opened. Among the ruins, the ruins have been demolished, and a large number of magic lamps are installed on the top of the space, and soil layers are laid below to artificially create farmland.
However, these were not allowed by Xia He. Regarding the goblin ruins, Xia He originally planned to completely stabilize and then develop them.
Now Lynch is still attacking Dragon Island. Xia He has not yet decided whether this place can be affected by the war.
Fortunately, the entrance to the ruins was originally underground, and the secret room formed its own space. People sent by the Empire would not destroy the ruins.
In addition to reclaiming farmland, people from the Arcane Empire entered the secret room many times to explore the secrets inside.
Of course, Xia He did not allow such things to happen, so he had to control the Storm and could not be included in it casually in the future.
In fact, the imperial academies are usually built outside the ruins. The stronger the academies, the more particular the location is, and the higher the value of the ruins they have.
Xia He couldn't stand the endless temptations of these nobles and gain benefits from him.
I do have no talent for governance, but the team in the imperial capital is already good, so I can use it directly if I transfer it back to Storm Corner.
The Arcane Empire is most lacking in talents, and too many people are unacceptable.
This is related to the education of the Arcane Empire. The entire empire is full of various academies. Many academies, like Metattering, will reduce tuition fees. Some academies, as long as you have the qualifications, are willing to train you even if you pay for it.
With so many years of accumulation, it is rare for people from the empire to be illiterate, which is a very rare phenomenon in a society where aristocrats and slaves have not yet been eliminated.
The night soon came, and Xia He greeted his people and came to the lord's mansion.
The lord's mansion was brightly lit. Yesterday, the people sent by Freya were building buildings. A large hall was directly raised. The front seats were from Xiahe. There were four rows of tables on both sides, and there were no chairs. A cushion was given behind the table.
There was a note on each low table with a name written on it.
When Xia He sat down, he looked at the two sides. There were more than 300 tables, but they were not full of people, and they looked like they were just over 100 years old.
Someone outside locked the hall, and Su Lie's knight put away the notes on the empty table and handed them over to Su Xue.
Su Xue walked out of the side door, and the side door was also closed and locked outside.
Next to Xia He, Freya and Su Qi were sitting, and Abigail was standing in the depths of the hall wearing heavy armor. Xia He glanced at the wine utensils on the table and smiled.
He poured himself a glass of wine, raised it, and said to the people in the hall: "Everyone, for the Empire."
The people led by Glinsky muttered in their hearts, what does this mean? But the lord raised their glasses, and they couldn't watch them, so they had to pour themselves wine and raise the silver cup in their hands.
"For the Empire!"
Xia He drank the wine in one go, then turned the wine glass over, and no drop of the remaining wine fell.
The people in the hall had to learn from Xia He and drink all the wine in their glasses.
Xia He put down his wine glass and said, "I have only one thing when I come back this time, that is, I will let you all be loyal to me. I will not blame what happened before."
Immediately one person shouted: "Lord, you are wrong, we are all loyal to the empire!"
Xia He frowned. The person who spoke was far away from him, that is to say, the status of this person was lower among the officials appointed by the empire.
"Su Lie."
"exist."
"Go and get someone else's head."
"yes."
Su Lie walked from the depths of the hall, and Greensky was shocked. He watched the tall general walk down by Xia He, pass through the hall, and come to the person who opposed Xia He.
The man stood up, Su Lie grabbed his hair, pulled out the short sword from his waist, and waved it casually.
Su Lie brought a head into his hand, and the body fell to the ground dullly, with blood flowing.
Su Lie carried the head, walked back to Xia He, raised the head and placed it on the table in front of Xia He.
Xia He nodded and said, "The law of the empire and my territory is the largest. Even if His Holiness is over, he cannot override his authority to manage my people. Of course, those who do things for me must be loyal to me first. Now, are there any questions?"
Greensky never expected that Asra would be the way to deal with it.
He thought about many words, and he did Andrei's death perfectly. Even if he had to take responsibility, there would be scapegoats.
He heard that Xia He was going to ask about the case, but he was not worried.
"If you have no doubts, just sign this magic contract." Xia He said, taking out a stack of magic contracts and put them on the table. Su Qi waved his hand, and a soldier came forward, held the magic contract, and distributed it one by one.
"Asla, are you going to kill all of us?" Baron Marin said angrily.
Macbeth laughed beside her and said, "Marlene, what are you saying? I have been loyal to Lord Lord. Even if you are all dead, it is not considered to be killed."
"Macbeth!" Baron Pit pointed at him, shocked and angry.
"I don't know if you are all dead, but those who refuse to come today are dead." Macbeth felt happy, and the angry eyes of the others fell on him, but he enjoyed it very much.
Xia He smiled and said, "I don't have much time. To put it simply, the person who killed Andre will definitely not be able to survive. When you sign the contract, don't forget to write on the back who killed him. If the name is wrong, I'm sorry, I don't need someone who lip service."
"Lord, I don't know who Andre is!" An official stood up angrily.
"You don't know, what use I want you?" Before Xia He finished speaking, Su Qi suddenly raised his hand and released an ice cone. The ice cone turned around in the air, and with a puff, it penetrated into the official's eyebrows.
"Now do you know who Andre is?" Su Qi's voice was cold and echoed in the hall.
Greensky's face was ashes. He wanted to resist, but Su Lie had just walked past him and released a powerful aura. He was clearly a warrior in the epic realm.
"Also, who attacked my feather snake yesterday? Now, you can avoid death." Su Qi added.
There was a dead silence in the hall and no one spoke.
"What a bunch of hard bones, then, let's start with Greensky." Xia He said, waved his hand. This time, Su Lie was followed by fifty heavy armored warriors, and ten magicians wearing black robes.
"Asla, you are so crazy. Your Majesty will not let you go!" Greensky knew that he was not immune, so he took out a scroll and was about to release it.
But he suddenly realized that the magic power in his body was not controlled at all, and there was also a problem with his mental power. The scroll could not be expanded in his hand.
There is poison in the wine!
But I clearly have done toxin detection, so why didn’t I find it?
Xia He sneered that the plague curse of the Goddess of the Goddess of Doom is not considered poison at all, but it is more terrifying than any poison. Taoists are familiar with this thing and have practiced the method of coping. If there is no Taoist method, at least legends must be able to withstand the attack of the plague curse.
"Macbeth has written a letter and asked His Majesty to send some more people. If His Majesty is angry, at most he will not send anyone here. Greensky, if you tell me, who has bought you behind your back, I can make you die more happy."
The heavy armored warrior dragged Greensky to Xiahe's table.
"Asla, you must die a bad death!" Greensky knew that he could not survive, so he became hard and cursed with his neck.
Freya smiled beside her and said, "Sir, I like this kind of person the most. I can play with him for a longer time."
More than a dozen feathered snakes flew out from her sleeves, pounced on Greensky, and bit them with sharp teeth. The power of Greensky dissipated and could not even roll. In the blink of an eye, blood was blurred and only screams were left.
He wanted to curse something else, a feathered snake bit his throat, and his throat was torn apart, and he could only make a horrible sound.
Xia He looked at Greensky who could only twitch and smiled: "You government officials always think that they have power in their hands. But they don't know where power comes from. In Storm Corner, power comes from me. The reason why you have someone to buy it is because someone wants to share my power. Why should I tolerate it?"
Freya emitted a black light, quietly behind Greensky's head, and took his soul away.
A magician of this level will be confessed if he can't last for one round in the Ten Palace Seal. The adult said he would deal with him slowly, so let him play a few more rounds.
"Asla, if I die..."
Before Marlin could finish her words, a soldier came forward, lifted her from her seat, and threw her in front of Xia He.
Baron Pete quickly grabbed the knife on the table, cut it hard on his fingers, and used his blood to drop his name on the magic contract.
"You are not a hereditary nobleman. After you die, you will disappear, and there is not even a person to avenge you." Xia He said to the baron.
"Hahahaha! Asla, you don't know who is behind me!"
Several more feathered snakes flew out from Freya's sleeves and pounced on Marlene.
Freya smiled and said, "You are so ugly. You must not be your Majesty behind you. If you are not your Majesty, what's there to be afraid of?"
In the hall, more than 60 people quickly followed Baron Pete, and the rest had important relatives in the empire and were controlled by others. Although they were afraid of death, they did not dare to surrender to Asra easily.
They were still lucky. Now Storm Corner is busy with Lynch's war and needs government officials. If they are all killed, the war will inevitably be seriously affected.
Abigail frowned and looked at everything in front of him. Asra's methods were so cruel that she had nothing to do with her from beginning to end. The question about whether the Empire would expel the temple did not happen at all.
The Blood Mage used a glass of wine to disintegrate the combat power of these people and then grasped them at will.
This is what Asra said about power? Power and power are indeed terrifying!
