When Laing heard the news, he was inspecting the Muxilon Firearms Factory with the knights and nobles.
The Muxilon Firearms Factory was funded by Laing in his capacity as Duke of Muxilon. With the Nur providing technical guidance, Nur students as the technical backbone, and the Church of the Nymphs in the Lake and the Church of Impartial Goddess Valentina as the supervision, an entire area in the city of Muxilon was designated as the location for the factory. It took several months to transport the advanced technology and equipment from Nur and Brunswick, and after a long time, the factory was finally ready to start.
The main firearms produced by the Muxilon Firearms Factory were the classic short-barreled muskets, the standard long-barreled muskets used by the Gun Squad, the revolving muskets used by the Nur Elite Gun Squad, and the long-range sniper muskets.
Throwing weapons were the most famous grenades and incendiary bombs. Of course, there was also the molotov cocktail that His Majesty Laing provided guidance. Laing named it the "Molotov cocktail". Although no one understood why he used the name Kislöw, it was proven that the Molotov cocktail was simple to make and powerful, making it a rare weapon of war.
The main types of cannons were the mortar cannons and giant cannons. The dwarves had provided them with the Accordion Cannon technology, while the flame cannons were still too advanced for human technology. Currently, the gun factories lacked the equipment to produce flame cannons. Or rather, even Nur couldn't produce such a powerful weapon. However, the Muxilon Gun Factory already had the technology to produce magic crystal cannons.
Chief Engineer Laing had the ability to produce the Hellstorm rocket launcher, but he needed some time to provide technical guidance and improve the equipment, so Laing didn't let him come out to meet people. The people who came to visit the Muxilon Firearms Factory were mostly knights, nobles, and merchants. They gathered around Laing and listened to his stories when he was young.
"What about this engineering drawing? I used the quill pen to absorb the ink, but the ink would overflow easily. It would directly cause the drawing to have to be redrawn. This efficiency, effectiveness."
"But it's different now. Look at the dwarves' technology, it's really good."
"This thing you made for me, I'm so excited."
Laing was only halfway through his inspection when a servant came with the latest news. "Your Majesty, bad news?"
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? " Seeing how anxious the servant was, Laing could only signal for everyone to continue and let the servant go outside to talk to him.
The servant truthfully told Laing the news of the Marvel Parliament's destruction.
Ryan nodded and asked for more details. After confirming that Veronica and Theresa were fine, he nodded and said, "You may leave."
There wasn't any excitement, anger, sadness, or sadness that he had expected. At this moment, Ryan found that there was only peace in his heart.
There was even a hint of joy.
The Knight King could naturally infer that in this situation, Veronica, Theresa, and Aurora had no other choice. Their only choice was to bring the remnants of the Garland Council to his side.
He didn't need to spend any effort to receive all of the Marvel Blue Council's inheritance and use it for himself.
The King was even a little happy when he thought of this, but he was soon surprised by his own thoughts and thinking circuit. How could he be so indifferent to the death of thousands of witches?
Laing suddenly realized that a certain thought and a certain profound philosophy had changed after becoming king. It had turned the hot-blooded and impulsive Nord Sledgehammer into the current Knight King. The current Laing began to understand necessary evil, and he began to understand the so-called "Macado Thinking".
Had the Seal Bearer's power and psionic energy seeped into his soul unknowingly? Or was that his nature?
He didn't know. He really didn't know. Laing knew very well that he was no longer himself from the moment he received power from the Emperor and Macardo's last psionic energy was injected into his body.
He now understood why the Emperor and Marcador wanted to purge the Thunder Warriors. Why they used the original bodies but also restrained and guarded against them. Why the original bodies worshipped and loved the Emperor in the beginning but chose to betray him in the end.
"Well, at least Veronica and Teresa are fine. At least I'm irreplaceable." Laing tried to convince himself, but he soon gave up. To the Marvel Blue Council, the only people he cared about were Veronica and Teresa. Aurora counted as half a person, and the only reason he cared about her was because Saint Wizards were extremely rare. If he found one, he would capture one.
As for the things Aurora did, did she think that Laing didn't know about it? Laing knew about it, but he was more tolerant of a Saint Wizard. It was normal for a Saint Wizard to have all kinds of quirks and problems, and the nobles were used to it. Every Saint Wizard had their own quirks, including Morgiana, Olica, and naturally Aurora. As for Veronica, although she didn't have many quirks, that was because Laing had protected her well, and Veronica also had quirks.
So why did he tolerate Aurora's quirks even though he knew that she was a bit pretentious? That was because it wasn't just her quirks, but the entire Wizard System's quirks! Which Wizard wouldn't be pretentious? Cernus Gehrman had already blown up a Wizard Tower and sent three provincial legions to Obean Island. Gert was always using fake gold to scam people. Gregg Matak was covered in dirt and grease, and he liked to live in Roc and Griffin's Nest. He basically ignored any orders other than fighting evil. Nur's Black Lady Elspeth liked to do all kinds of death magic research, and it made the whole of Nur City panic.
As for Morgiana, well … Before she was with Laing, she was a bad-tempered person. She was the first choice of the Lake Fairy, and she didn't listen to anyone. After she was with Laing, she became much better. But now, she was very clingy. Especially clingy to Laing. Morgiana would work with Laing when she was free, and she often asked Laing to take her to the Holy Grail Tower in the Lake Fairy Tower to stay for a day or two.
Besides, even if it was the geno prototype, how many people could be like Kirriman, who could see the big picture and almost have no flaws?
Hmm, liking the Spirit was not a flaw, Laing thought, stroking his chin.
Hating the Emperor and Macado was also not a problem.
Thinking about it this way, only Kirriman and I had no flaws.
"Your Majesty, the queen asked me to ask you if the inspection should continue?" Davu, the deputy commander of the Old Guard, came in front of Knight King, who was in a daze, and asked respectfully, "Lady Suria is waiting for you."
"Of course, continue." Laing nodded, indicating that the inspection should continue. He calmed himself down.
It would take at least one or two months for Veronica and Teresa to return to Brittany. Now, Laing had a lot of time to arrange everything. There was no rush, but Laing had already made up his mind.
If the remaining forces of the Garland Council wanted to use Laing's power to rebuild the council, they could.
But it had to be Veronica, and only Veronica could be the new speaker.
She had to submit completely.
Next, Laing inspected the remaining parts of Muxilon's gun factory. Nur's chief engineer, Maybach, and another famous Nur engineer, Benz, agreed to stay there for two months to provide technical guidance. Of course, all of this was expensive. Laing had to pay double the salary, but everyone thought it was worth it.
That night, Laing took his wife, Suria, and his maid, Olica, to stay in Muxilon's new palace.
It was already late at night, and Muxilon was quite quiet at night. Only the muddy and bubbling waters of the Grismori River flowed along the entire city. The Old Guard escorted the king to the new palace that was under construction.
Merovin Castle had been given to his flag bearer, Armand, by Laing. The Knight King had chosen another location to build a new palace in Muxilon. Since Muxilon's interior was now empty and there were not many residents, Laing easily obtained a large piece of land to build his new palace. He had taken 50 hectares of land in Muxilon to build the new palace, but now …
"Your Majesty, this is your new palace? It's quite unique. " Su Liya stretched out her beautiful black foot that was wearing a pair of milky white irises and rhinestone heels. She teased her husband playfully.
So far, only about three hectares of land had been built in Muxilon's palace. There were only three buildings that could be used: the main hall, the side hall, and the garden mansion. There were only 50 rooms that could be used.
"No matter how small a place is, it's still home," Laing said casually. He knew that Suria was joking.
"Wherever you are, that's home ~ My champion ~" Sulia's face was flushed red. She said coquettishly, and even threw a flirtatious glance at Clayon.
Laing understood. He pulled the goddess who had taken over his wife's body into the bedroom of the palace. "Anyway, let's go back to the room first. Do you have any new information for me?"
"Can't I look for you if there's no new information?" The Lake Fairy held Laing's arm, and Olica followed behind them. The three of them entered the room together. Olica gestured to the Old Guard outside, indicating that they could leave.
The bedroom in the new palace had an obvious high-precision and baroque style, and the colors were bright and rich. The bedroom was not very big, and the colors inside were also very simple. The walls were painted with irises and golden cups, and along with the bright divine light, the Goddess of the Lake appeared in the room. Today, the goddess was wearing a light grey pleated dress with winter fox and cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-cherry-
"Suria, why didn't you bring little Devenhill with you this time?" The Lake Fairy held Suria's arm and giggled. "You're not a qualified mother!"
"Mother has her own private space, and Devenhill wants his own space too." Suria was not as clingy as many people thought her to be. Most of the time, she just did her duty as a mother. She preferred to have some private space.
"Hey, I'm also Devenhill's mother. I just went to see him. This guy is playing on the swing with little Frey Derick and his sister Ream in the castle. He's having a lot of fun." The Lake Fairy proudly put her hands on her hips. The goddess was obviously eager to show Laing that she had done her duty as a mother. "Laing, you can't say that I'm not a good mother, okay?"
"You only see your child once every one or two months. You're really a cruel mother," Laing complained. The Knight King pulled a chair and sat down. "Madam, what's the matter? Every time you show up, there must be something important, right? "
"Yes, I have a few things to tell you this time. The first is that our wedding is scheduled for October this year, the day of the Lake Fairy," the Lake Fairy said with a smile. "I've already prepared everything. You can just pick one person. We'll do it simply. Everything will be simple, and don't let too many people know."
"Okay." Laing nodded slowly. The king's eyes were a little nostalgic. He had no objections. "I understand."
"Second, when do you plan to go to Ossouin to steal the Scroll of Incantation?" Lilith held Laing's hand with one hand and Suria's with the other. The Lake Fairy was very serious when she talked about business. "If you've decided, then do it as soon as possible. No one knows what Suria is thinking."
"Now we have to wait for Fulgen to come. I'm not strong enough to accomplish this feat, and neither is Fulgen." Laing rubbed his chin. The Knight King thought carefully. "My idea is that it's best if we have a dignified excuse to enter Ossouin. It would be even better if we have an official invitation from Gao Jing. Lilith, can you get Tegris to help us?"
"You want to get Tegris to do it again?" The Lake Fairy thought for a while and reluctantly agreed. "Okay, I'll go talk to Tegris about this. But I have to emphasize that Tegris is only the supreme mage of the White Tower Council of Mages. The highest authority in Ossouin is held by the Phoenix King Finnuba and the Eternal Queen Alariel. The Eternal Queen usually doesn't care about this, but Finnuba and the war council appointed by Finnuba, Tyrion, must agree. Or at least find a way to get the Prince of Kaldor and Azarion the Ruthless to agree. Only these two in the war council have the ability to challenge Tyrion."
"Well, my lady, you should talk to Tegris first. It's best if we can do something so that the arrogant Gao Jing will take the initiative to invite us. Then we'll have an excuse to go to Ossouin openly," Suria agreed.
"Us?" Laing focused his attention on Suria. She wouldn't want to go to Ossouin with him, right?
The Celestial Maiden in the lake rolled her green eyes and deliberately interrupted Ryan's thoughts. "Apart from that, there are three other things that I want to tell you."
"Yes, my lady," Laing held the Lake Fairy's and Suria's hands, and the three of them held hands together.
"The third thing is, the Sea Gate Ironclad you ordered has been launched. Bellegar has also finally settled the matters at hand. He sent his own son, Solgrin Ironhammer, and more than 40 bearded dwarves to board the ship and prepare to go to Brittania with you to settle accounts with the merchants of Marlin Castle." The Lake Fairy said the third thing, "The Supreme King Solgrin's messengers will arrive in the capital of the Empire soon to deliver the Supreme King's questions."
"The dwarves' concept of time is really … I suspect that the Marlin merchants have almost forgotten about this matter," Laing complained.
"The fourth thing is that your brother Fulgen has successfully found my Sunfire Amulet. He also successfully created an illusion to make Count Noktras in the maelstrom of the graveyard think that everything was Assur's doing. His phoenix coat of arms and the name of the phoenix guards are indeed very similar to Gao Jing's." The Lake Fairy then complained, "I'm very happy that you found the Sunfire Amulet. Remember to return it to me when you're done with it."
"I'll think about it." Laing smiled mischievously.
"As for the fifth thing … The warriors you cultivated under the lake of Lily Island have begun to mature. Even if I did my best, five out of ten people still died under the impact of the 666 psionic waves you released. Now, only five boys are left … or rather, adult males who have passed your standards."
"Five, is it?" Laing nodded solemnly.
There was one last procedure left for these five original Cast Grey Knights.
Implantation surgery.
