Through the short conversation, Roddy felt that she was actually a young mage without any scheming. Just like a PhD student in a university, people engaged in scientific research were often much simpler than those involved in human resources and administration.
Although he still had countless questions in his heart, she was now a 'subject' and not a prisoner, so there was no need to lock her up here for interrogation. So, Roddy gestured for Camilla to take Sylvia back to her room to rest. They would not do anything for the next few days and adapt to the current era.
After she left, Roddy leaned back in his chair and pondered silently.
Akasha looked down at her ring and said, "This feeling is too strange. Resurrecting the dead allows them to retain their consciousness when they were alive. This doesn't seem to be any different from the Awakened in Tasman. Roddy … Did I accidentally do something terrible? "
"The spell is only on the surface. I think this ring is very strange. It can kill the undead and resurrect the dead. What is that guy called Parnon doing? Could it be that he became a demigod who founded his own sect like Solomon? "
Roddy rubbed his eyebrows. "As for resurrection, it's not possible without sufficient verification. But don't try to use that spell for now … It'll be troublesome if you resurrect too many people. "
Although that was what he said, Roddy felt that it was not trouble but an opportunity.
*****
After the storm caused by the orcs gradually faded away, the palace of the Cullen royal family finally returned to its former peace.
Charles II took the time to go on their third summer hunt with the princes and princesses. The eldest prince had hunted a majestic elk, which made Charles II very happy. So, he held a large bonfire banquet in the palace at the edge of the hunting ground and invited several close ministers to participate.
The eldest prince was nineteen this year, the second prince was sixteen, and the two princesses were thirteen and ten years old respectively. Speaking of which, they rarely appeared in public and would only gather together on such occasions. The members of the royal family rarely participated in the aristocratic banquets because Charles II had always scoffed at banquets and dances. He never liked the various activities held in the mansions or castles. Instead, he preferred hunting gatherings with unique scenery. Of course, this was also to emulate the previous kings who had once conquered the entire country.
At the very least, a king who "liked to hunt in the wild" sounded tougher than a king who "indulged in drinking all day." Charles II liked to be described as' courageous' when others evaluated him. Every time he heard the nobles talking about the expansion of the kingdom's territory, he would participate in it in high spirits and obtain everyone's approval …
Years of guiding the country had given him unspeakable confidence. Therefore, when Milnor was preparing to attack Efta, Charles II felt that he could finally fulfill his long-cherished ambition. He was addicted to "expanding the territory" and controlling the entire country.
But to him, allowing a noble's influence to grow without restraint was definitely a risky thing to do. After Moore withdrew from the core circle of power, Charles II naturally realized that no one in the upper echelons dared to go against Milnor. Although Milnor did a good job, Charles II was very clear about the truth of the need for "balance" in politics. Therefore, at the dinner after the hunt, he warmly invited a few counts and talked about the current affairs of the country under the light of the bonfire.
"Count Duweiden, I haven't seen you go to the opera recently. Is there something else that delayed you? "
Charles II could be considered to have some attainments in the arts. Sometimes, he would even write some opera scripts or poems. It was not that he wanted to be cultured, but he really had some weight in the art circle. The theater was his most frequent entertainment place. When he felt like it, he would temporarily change the script and let the actors present the plot he wanted. This kind of thing had become a legend in the kingdom. Of course, this was the news that Charles II had heard.
"Your Majesty, the war has been very urgent recently. I have been busy with the relevant matters in the territory. These days, I finally have some clues. Being able to participate in the hunting really makes my mind relax a lot. After all, delicious venison is much better than boring numbers and annoying reports. "
Duweiden had a pointed chin and goatee. When he spoke, his eyes always looked at the ground. He was not tall, but his temper was quite famous in the noble circle. Among all the nobles who were based on interests, Duweiden was quite an "idealist". At least on many occasions, he had always publicly expressed his hope that the Kingdom of Karen would continue to prosper, and hoped to reform the law, agriculture, and even the system of the Academy of Magic.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was still courage to say it. The nobles of the feudal system were united by interests. Charles II was very clear about how many thoughts these so-called "loyal subordinates" had. Therefore, among this group of selfish fellows, Duweiden was very different. And it was precisely because of his standpoint that in recent years, this count had been excluded from the core of power by the other nobles. The cake was only so big. Who would take the initiative to let others take their cake?
Charles II was not a radical reformist. After all, in his view, the economic strength and military strength of the whole kingdom were slowly rising, and there was nothing that needed to be changed immediately. Besides, he also advocated "balance" and "stability". Duweiden's previous ideas did not suit his liking. Therefore, for a long time, Duweiden had been labeled as the kind of person who was "idle".
But now, Charles II had changed his mind. He invited Duweiden and a few other estranged nobles to the party, which was naturally a signal. Being able to mix in the core of power, the latter, of course, knew what this meant. They were all very happy.
"I heard that Count Duweiden is very considerate of the people. Not only does he care about current politics, but he also has a lot of research on agricultural production?"
Charles II was not an idiot. Before making any decision, he had done no less research than others. Therefore, even if it was just a few words, it always scratched an itch, which made Duweiden, who had been trying his best to show off, very excited.
"Your Majesty, I think agriculture is the foundation of the country. Only with enough food can we train a sufficient army. With more food, we can conquer more land."
