"Fourth update. I heard the double monthly votes will only start on the 29th. I'm confused …"
"Princess," Stephanie said to Rex seriously. Stephanie said to Rex seriously, "I regret that I wasn't by His Majesty Charnak's side when he died. I don't know if His Majesty's ability will appear on you. So, unless you defeat the Cloud Flow people, I will only become your personal mage. Before that, I will only protect this city. "
"Thank you, Master." Rex didn't say much. Stephanie was willing to protect this city because of her father. If not, with Stephanie's age and ability, she could be the top among the royal mages. In Holy Rock City, the resources of the royal mages were much better than with him.
"Mm, go and receive the gift. The one who came is Count Kant's son. He asked to come." Stephanie wasn't an envoy. She sent Rex away and meditated in the Magic Tower.
After leaving the Magic Tower, Rex saw Salin. Salin said to Rex, "Lace, the White Bone Magic Stone Cannons sent by the Cloud Flow people are all damaged. They can't be repaired."
"I knew it. The Cloud Flow people aren't idiots. Of course they would destroy the weapons if they sent gifts to provoke us. Otherwise, these 200 White Bone Magic Stone Cannons would be good to put on the city walls."
"But I kept their spatial boxes. 200 of them. It's not bad as a gift." Salin smiled.
"What about the magical beasts? Don't tell me you killed them too? "After Rex and Salin decided to get married, they didn't keep their distance and etiquette like before. They even started joking with Salin now. Salin was a greedy person. Rex knew this very well.
"Of course not. They're all low-level magical beasts. There's no magic core to take even if they were killed." At this point, Salin changed the topic. "Lace, I want to kill those 200 soldiers. I'm afraid there are some strong people hidden among them. Even though I've personally checked it out, we still have to be careful. On the day of our wedding, Cloud Flow will launch an attack. If one or two people with strange skills sneak in and cause trouble in the city, we'll be in a mess and lose face in front of all the envoys. "
"Are they all under control?"
"All under control. I asked Trish to keep an eye on them."
"We can't kill them. They are ambassadors. Do you have any good ideas?" Rex was also wary of this matter. However, they were here to deliver gifts. Killing these people or chasing them out of the city would be a problem. She was a legitimate member of the royal family and a legitimate mage, so she didn't know how to deal with it.
"Send those laborers away. I'll think of a way to deal with the remaining two hundred." Salin did not want to be troubled by this matter, but after observing with his Elemental Eye, he did not find anything wrong with these two hundred people.
"What is it?"
"This is our own country, we should set the rules ourselves. Their clothes don't conform to the rules, so I've sent someone to the White Bone Castle to have them custom-made. The Winged Skeleton will change their clothes, and all their personal belongings will be temporarily kept by me. "
"That's also a solution." Rex shook his head helplessly, and said, "Come with me to see my brother's present."
Emperor Ojarvis's gift was sent directly to the palace. Along with the envoy group, there were also two bannermen from the royal swordsman battalion. These two elite soldiers from the bannermen battalion simply stayed in Daliang City and did not leave. Ojarvis knew what Rex needed, but he could not mobilize the troops from the four towns, so he could only transfer people from the royal swordsman battalion to Rex. The soldiers from the royal swordsman battalion were all loyal to the old emperor. Ojarvis was relieved to send them to Rex.
In the envoy group was a young noble. He was originally an officer in West Town, and Rex had gotten the Grizzly Bear from him.
"Scott? Freo, how's your father? "Rex greeted the young noble with a smile.
"Your Highness, my father is fine. He's already entered the House of Lords." Scott did not expect Rex to remember his name clearly. Even if a mage knew memory magic, it meant that when Rex met him back then, he was not perfunctory. He was glad for his decision.
"You're here because you don't plan to go back, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I also brought two hundred soldiers with me. My father gave them to me."
"Count Kant still remembers me. Hey … Scott, have you been officially decorated?"
"Your Highness, I'm a third-rank baron in the empire now, the lowest rank," Scott answered, embarrassed.
Rex smiled and said, "It's okay. Come to me and be a first-rank baron. We're going to war soon, so keep your soldiers with you. I'll arrange a position for you later."
"Thank you, Your Highness. My father also hopes that I can go to war and fight."
"I know that the Freo family is rewarded through war. Your father is very competitive, so of course he wants you to become famous through your achievements. Scott, come and meet Her Highness Salin. "
Scott bowed in a proper noble etiquette and said, "Your Highness, Scott Freo is willing to protect you and the princess. I'll be loyal to you and the princess for the rest of my life. "
The understanding that Nania had taught him quickly appeared in Salin's mind. He put his hand on Scott's shoulder and said, "The Metatlin family accepts your loyalty."
Scott was trying to be clever and express his loyalty to Salin, but Rex only smiled. The Freo family had a deep relationship with her father. Even if Scott did not do this, she would still value him. Because Scott didn't have soldiers with him, but military instructors of the empire. She even knew two of them. This was her younger brother's trick. She and Salin now had more than 20 million citizens. There were not enough instructors to train the soldiers. In the battle of Galoulan, Rex even had to use war as a substitute for training.
Following Scott to the courtyard where the gifts were placed, Salin saw that the three connected courtyards were all filled. Apart from the Magic Tower, there were no tall buildings in Rex's palace. The courtyards were not small, and could be filled with three. One could imagine how much Ojarvis had spent.
The standard two-meter-tall space boxes were stacked ten times high. There were only narrow passageways between the boxes. Rex felt dizzy when she saw the space boxes all over the courtyard. It seemed that Ojarvis had opened at least one large warehouse and transported the things inside.
"Scott, give me the list." Rex saw that there were so many space boxes, and she could not open them one by one. She even doubted that the warehouse in the palace could hold everything.
"Your Highness, the list is here." Scott handed over a thick list and said, "Your Highness, you should prepare to build a few magic warehouses as soon as possible. I heard that the amount of food sent by Sacred Rock City this time is shocking. The prince ordered half of it to be sent to Kushui Prefecture. Even if it's only half … "
"I understand." Rex didn't really want to mention his uncle. He could be of use to deal with the Cloud Flow people now. The resources had just arrived, and he had to personally ask for help from Salin. He had painstakingly risked being assassinated and flew to Metatlin City with just one wizard.
Where were you then, uncle?
Receiving the list, Rex called for someone to make arrangements for Scott and his bodyguards to stay in the palace. She also arranged for her mages to supervise the construction of the magic warehouses. Qin Yinren had always built these things underground. Great Liang City had good geological conditions, so it was easy to build warehouses without the help of large-scale magic.
Rex and Salin returned to the sixth floor of the Magic Tower. Seeing that the level-seven Magic Shooter was helplessly doing experiments, Rex said embarrassedly, "Glatini, Master Stephanie is here.
The level-seven mage smiled bitterly. "How can I complain? She even taught me a spell before chasing me down. She's already very respectful."
"I will build a Magic Tower for her as soon as possible."
"How about I go to the Magic Tower outside the city first? It's very safe with the master here. "The Magic Shooter asked for Rex's opinion.
"No need. You can stay on the sixth floor. The master might even give you some pointers. This is your chance. I won't stay in the Magic Tower for now. "
"Your Highness, what about your safety?"
"Do you see that little building?" Rex pointed at a six-story building in the distance. It used to be a stargazing platform and a historical building in Great Liang City.
Glatini nodded. Rex said, "The person who shot the assassin lives upstairs. With her here, the entire palace is within her attack range."
"Then I'm relieved." Glatini nodded. He had arrived at the last moment when Salin was attacked and saw Eleanor's stunning arrow. Although he did not know that it was an arrow of elves, he felt a terrifying aura. He could even tell that if he was the one who was shot, he would already be dead.
There were many powerful people around Prince Salin, and he and Rex were both top-notch level-six mages. Glatini no longer worried about Rex's safety. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to think about the spell Stephanie had taught him.
Rex pulled Salin away quietly. After walking out of the Magic Tower, she said to Salin, "You see, mages are always like this. Suddenly, they want to train, so they start."
"It's the same for us. Grace, the assassin did not die. You must be careful. Why don't you stay with Eleanor for now? "
"Alright, let's go. Let's see what my brother gave me first." As the two were talking, an apprentice came to report that a few more noble families had come to give gifts. The caravan had already arrived at the north gate.
From noon until dusk, Rex received dozens of gifts from the nobles before returning to Eleanor's small building. The courtyard was filled with flowering trees. It was already autumn, and a few trees were full of fruits, giving off a pleasant fragrance.
Salin had 200 bodyguards, and they all lived in this six-story building. The topmost floor was where Elena lived.
Rex did not go upstairs. She dismissed the guards and mages behind her and pulled Salin to sit under a fragrant tree. Under the moonlight, she opened the list of gifts from King Ojarvis.
