Roddy, who had a strong physique, finally fell asleep in Akasha's arms. He was relaxed, his mind was empty, and in the end, his body was almost emptied … In short, when he opened his eyes again, the sunlight outside the window was already at the foot of the bed.
It was almost 11 o 'clock in the morning.
Rody stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds. He then realized that his arms were holding a warm body and his palms were holding a soft part of the body. He blinked, but didn't move, for fear of waking up Akasha, who was tired after a night.
After taking a step from a boy to a man, Roddy found that his mentality immediately changed. At least in the aspect of "consideration", he was much more considerate than before. However, Akasha was obviously almost asleep. When she woke up, she naturally turned around and nestled in his arms. She looked at Roddy with sleepy eyes, as if to confirm that she was not dreaming.
With her voluptuous body in his arms, Roddy felt that his body was a little out of control again. What happened to his body being emptied? How could it recover so quickly?
Fortunately, Akasha was really a little tired, so she didn't dare to continue doing anything excessive. It took a lot of willpower for Roddy to get up from the bed. He really understood the concept of "from now on, the king will not have morning court". Akasha was like a new daughter-in-law. Even though she had passed this hurdle, she was still a little shy when Roddy helped her put on her clothes. However, she had a kind of stability that came with settling the matter, and the inadvertent intimacy was even more natural.
Of course, when she showed her affection in thin clothes, it made Roddy feel a little uncontrollable, and he almost did it on the spot. After washing up, Roddy could be said to be refreshed, and his mood was good. He even walked with vigor. Akasha was now at level 28. Her healing spell was no different from usual, but there was a little more flirtatious in her eyes.
When he walked to the dining room, lunch was already served by the servants. Camilla, Naifei, Natha, and Merinsera were all sitting at their seats. Merinsera raised her eyebrows and snorted, "You've worked hard. Are you tired? Hurry up and eat. "
These words made Roddy cough twice, and Akasha, who was beside him, suddenly blushed. But Naiffy obviously did not understand what she meant. Camilla was holding the bread in a bad mood, with a few pieces of parchment beside her hand. She looked like she was "busy with politics".
Natha lowered her head and drank the soup as usual.
"Today's dishes are pretty good! I'm starving. "
Roddy casually sat down. He glanced at the listless Camilla and asked curiously, "What's wrong? You didn't sleep well? "
"Mom spent the whole night reading letters. I made her stay up all night."
Naifei added, but Camilla glared at her. Naifei did not say anything. The latter picked up the parchment beside him and handed it to Roddy. "This is the first edition of the newspaper that was made according to your request. Take a look."
Roddy didn't dare to say anything when he saw the obvious dark circles under her eyes. He picked up the newspaper and began to read it.
This large piece of parchment had an area of two A4 sheets. Because there was not a lot of papermaking at the moment, there was only one fold. There was no such thing as "printing" in this continent, so Roddy asked Camilla to find a craftsman to mimeograph the movable type printing. Because Bringa was similar to English in that they were both alphabetic languages, it was much easier than Chinese printing. With the help of the mages from the Magic Research Department, the matter was completely settled in two days.
The headline of the newspaper was black and bold. It read, "Great Victory in Eiffta, Ten Thousand Orcs Beheaded!" The following content was an objective description of the process of the war, the result, the number of casualties, the number of captives, and the fact that the Orcs had escaped. It took up the entire first page. Flipping to the next content, it briefly described the few tax reduction policies that Eiffta had implemented. At the same time, it also made a series of explanations and comparisons about the crops irrigated by Elson's "artificial rainfall".
After that was the headline, "Bergen Territory Suffered Heavy Losses, Year's Food Production Worrying". The content briefly described the names of the towns that the Orcs had attacked. It also stated that the central region of the Kingdom of Karen had been severely damaged by the Orcs, and that there was an urgent need for industrial restructuring to restore productivity. Otherwise, there would be famine when winter came.
It was reasonable and well-founded. Everything that she wanted to express was written down. Roddy drank a cup of milk in satisfaction and praised, "Well written! Publish it according to this page. The next one will be out in a week. But it's too troublesome to let you do everything. This will be an industry in the future. We need to hire an editor to keep an eye on it. Look at those bards or nobles' butlers. If there are any suitable ones, just hire them to set up 'Karen's Times' newspaper … "
"Okay."
Camilla nodded and lowered her head to eat.
Roddy shut his mouth awkwardly. Beside him, Melinthera rolled her eyes. "I haven't seen Houdini for a few days. Where has he been?"
"He's in a hurry to choose a port. When the meeting in Holier is over, we'll go there directly to find him."
Roddy finished his meal in a few mouthfuls. Before he left, he said to Akasha, "I have something for you later. Come to the Magic Tower in an hour."
"Oh, okay."
Akasha smiled like a flower. She was the complete opposite of Camilla, who had her eyes lowered.
Roddy had originally planned to go to Holier in the afternoon. But before he left, he felt that there was something he had to do in advance.
After the Undead Slayer was upgraded to the highest level, it provided a skill called [Undead Sacrifice]. The effect was to shatter, condense, and re-condense the souls of undead creatures into socketed crystals.
Back then, Augustine's incarnation disguised itself as an Orc and fought with him. After losing, the Soul Crystal was sealed by Roddy for safekeeping. Now that he had this skill, Roddy was very curious about what it could refine.
When he walked up to the Pasha Magic Tower, the mages going in and out of the tower all greeted the mayor. Looking out from the Magic Tower, he could see the soldiers and Teflins training in the military camp. There were more than 50 Teflins in the army. Clearly, Roddy had done a good job of teaching those lazy guys a lesson. According to the [Map Bar], Nora and the other five Teflins with special skills were not training at the moment. Instead, they were attending classes in the newly established "Elson Central Intelligence Agency." They were working hard to learn the language and customs of the Kingdom of Karen.
The first thing he had to do in the next few days was to organize the functions of the intelligence department and gradually send orders to the various offices in Pasha. Nothing could be rushed, but with a framework, everything could be built slowly.
Roddy estimated that it would take at least half a year for the economy to recover after the war. But with the Karen Royal Family watching, he had to solve this problem first.
"Anyway, it's much easier than going to war …"
He muttered to himself and walked into the lab. He took out the Soul Fragment that was stored in the enchantment and then activated the [Undead Sacrifice] on the test bench.
The Soul Fragment originally contained the consciousness of Augustine's incarnation, but when Roddy's hands emitted a grayish-white light, the Soul Fragment trembled slightly, indicating that it was afraid. He did not hesitate at all. During the process of casting the spell, he directly tore the Soul Fragment into energy fragments, then recombined and crystallized …
This spell was cast automatically under the guidance of the system. Roddy did not understand how advanced what he had just done was. He reached out and picked up the crystallized crystal that looked like a transparent diamond. He opened the Status Bar and observed its attributes:
[Will of the Bone Throne]
