Chapter 420 The First Meeting
In the conference room, no one except Qiushui Yuexian and Drunken Qianzhan knew Raphael's true identity, but since King Broken Bones allowed this stranger to listen in, the officials of the Kingdom of Death all sat back in their seats.
This once again allowed Qiu Shui to invite Yuexian and Jiu Zui Qianzhan to see Helot's control over the newly established country. He was not a puppet introduced by the Zhanlan Association, but truly possessed the authority and power that a king should have.
Soon the attendant brought a chair and placed it next to the wall of the conference room at Helot's signal.
After Raphael sat down, he stopped talking.
The door to the conference room was closed and various defensive restrictions were opened.
"Thank you to the friends of the Azure Society for trusting me and electing me as the first king of the Kingdom of Death. However, I have an agreement with Master Laem. I don't have much time to manage this country. Therefore, when I am away, all the people in the Kingdom of Death will The affairs are under the sole responsibility of Master Laem.
Do you have any objections? ”
All the azure mages knew about this agreement between Broken Bones and Master Laem, so no one had any objections.
Then Helot said: "Master La'em will now preside over this meeting."
Master Laem stood up and saluted Helot, then handed over a manuscript he wrote in the dungeon, and said: "This is the reorganization plan of the Azure Association that Mondorali and I discussed...
Now that the Zhanlan Association has established a country, it must transform from a secret association into an open organization. Some of the systems of the previous association obviously cannot be applied to the current association.
…”
Helot read the manuscript, and after listening to Laem's idea of reorganizing the Azure Society, he expressed his thoughts: "In the past, the Azure Society spent a lot of people and resources on hiding, liaising, and launching rebellions. Now it is being reorganized. The Azure Society really needs to cut off unnecessary structures and shift its focus to the study of death and the cultivation of necromancers.
My suggestion is to be more thorough. The name Zhanlan Association has a strong underground flavor. It is better to change the "association" to "college". ”
The association turns into an academy!
Such a major change obviously confused the blue mages present.
But academies are indeed more formal than societies.
But even changing their names made the blue mages feel a little resistant.
Herot's purpose in controlling the Azure Society is to let it join his own magical scientific research system.
Therefore, he explained patiently: "What we want to study cannot be done by one person in one house, nor can it be completed by a small group of people. It is like the city being built, which requires countless people and countless resources. Together, reasonable coordination and planning are needed to create a great city
This is a very, very large project, and it will take several generations, or even dozens of blue mages, to complete.
The Azure Master needs to be passed down and his research results need to be passed on to the next generation of Azure Masters for further completion. This requires a large-scale academy, which integrates the functions of inheritance and research to ensure that our research has enough suitable blue mages at any stage. ”
After listening to Helot's explanation, Master Azure's mind immediately became clear.
When Laem looked back at his idea of reorganizing the Azure Association, he found that it still had not gone beyond the original framework of the association. Although there are great improvements, compared to the idea of the academy proposed by King Bonebreaker, it is still too conservative.
Other azure mages are very interested in establishing an academy.
Master Laem asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any detailed ideas for Azure Academy?"
"There are some..." The idea was ready for Helot. After all, he had the Royal Academy of the Glory Oath Empire as a reference, so he described the idea of Azure Academy based on the appearance of the Royal Academy.
The blue mages' eyes lit up when they heard about this advanced academic academy, wishing that there was such an academy now.
Master Laem even said: "Can I not be the king's first assistant and be the dean of Zhanlan Academy?"
Mondorali was unwilling: "I am now the president of the reorganized Zhanlan Association. I should be the president of Zhanlan Academy!"
When Master Laem saw that Mondor was trying to compete with him, he hurriedly said: "You are an assassin, how can you be the dean of the academy?"
"I can be the president, why can't I be the dean?"
At this time, Frank intervened: "I am the Minister of Magic of the Kingdom. Should I also hold the post of Dean of Azure Academy?"
Master Laem said: "I think Your Majesty knows who is the most suitable candidate for the president of Azure Academy."
Laem, Mondorali, and Frank looked at Helot together.
It seems that there is no objection to the reorganization of Zhanlan Association into Zhanlan Academy.
Helot said: "The academy is so big that it cannot have only one dean. Master La'em, you don't need to resign as the king's chief assistant. There is no suitable person to replace you now. You can also serve as the dean of Azure Academy, Mondo Rally and Frank are the deputy deans, and you coordinate your respective work
We must also do a good job in publicity to let more Zhanlan Masters know about Zhanlan Academy and be willing to work in our academy. ”
The Zhanlan Club in Scorched Earth City took the lead in founding the country, which was a painful blow to the Zhanlan Club, and some Zhanlan mages would inevitably be attracted to it.
But for the head office, it is not a blow to the bottom of the pot.
If Zhanlan Academy is established, it will be a fatal attack on the headquarters.
Just look at the reaction of the Azure Mages at the meeting, and see how Raem, Mondorali, and Frank even sacrificed their face to be the dean of the academy, and you will know how attractive the Azure Academy is to the Azure Mages.
Moreover, due to the change of name and functional specialization of Zhanlan Academy, it is decided that Zhanlan mages who will defect to the academy in the future will be relatively pure and come for faith. After a period of screening, the original Zhanlan Association will be completely reduced to an underground organization that only provides intelligence and assassination. Without the support of faith, it would be impossible to maintain such a large blue association. It will continue to split, continue to suffer from internal friction, and continue to weaken.
Never see the light of day again!
Master Laem, Mondorali, and Frank have all become the deans of Azure Academy, and they are all satisfied.
The meeting moves on to the next topic.
It was still proposed by Master Laem.
"Although the establishment of the Kingdom of Death has been supported by some undead, most of the undead will regard it as an offense against the undead by living beings, and even regard the founding of the country as an invasion by living beings against the undead.
We are now under the protection of Her Majesty Queen Dorothea, and it seems safe. I think this safety is only temporary. There will inevitably be powerful undead attacks on our country one day in the future, and perhaps such attacks will become the norm.
We should form an army to protect our country..."
Master Laem took out another manuscript and presented it to Helot. The name is to establish an army to protect the Kingdom of Death, but the real purpose is to expand the territory of the Kingdom of Death as much as possible while the decaying wilderness is plunged into war.
With sufficient strategic depth and resources, we can better defend the Kingdom of Death.
There is nothing wrong with this logic.
Helot read Master La'em's proposal carefully.
The current conventional military strength of the Kingdom of Death is mainly the strength of the old cemetery. It belongs to the direct rule of the king. Master Laem has not overstepped the control. This part is the king's army.
There is also a part of the military force that was divided after the reorganization of the Zhanlan Association.
In the past, the Azure Society trained many assassins and full-time fighting mages in order to fight. Now that the Blue Association is undergoing transformation, Master Laem has separated some assassins and battle mages during the reorganization. The academic association should be purer.
This group of personnel is not suitable for research, and of course they cannot be dismissed just like this.
Since the capital and territory of the Kingdom of Death are separate, the land of the past will definitely face direct attack and destruction from powerful undead in the future. This makes it necessary to form an army specifically to deal with such high-end military confrontations.
They not only protect the capital, but also the safety of the king.
Master Ra'em named this army "The King's Guard".
And nominated Bresini as the commander of the King's Guard. In addition to the personnel separated from the reorganization of the Azure Society, some undead heroes were added to the members.
Helot had no objection to this proposal. As a king, he really needed a king's guard to expand his appearance.
The territory part of the proposal needs to be discussed with Dorotea, which is why Helot invited her to attend this meeting.
In the old days, the main force of the cemetery's army followed Dorotea to conquer the city. I used to be your subordinate, so of course all the land I conquered belongs to you. Now that you and I are crowned kings on the same day, part of the land we conquer in the future must be given to the Kingdom of Death.
"Of course I will give you a portion." Dorotea was very generous.
In her understanding, she was going to become one of the seven rulers of the Land of Death, the ruler of the rotten wilderness. Shouldn't she give such a large territory to whomever she wanted?
The territorial issue that so many countries fought for life and death was solved just like this!
The next proposal is how to govern the newly established country. The corresponding departments need to be established and the positions of responsible personnel need to be appointed. Commerce, taxation, food supply, manufacturing, housing rationing...
Many issues that the undead do not need to consider are issues that must be solved for the living.
Fortunately, Helot does not need to solve these problems personally. Master Laem is more concerned about governing this country than he is.
But there are some things that Master Laem cannot deal with... namely the players.
Master Laem can see the collision of planes, so of course he knows what kind of energy the player has. What's more, Broken Bones is also a player. When the planes collide and reach the stage of material exchange, the Kingdom of Death will inevitably communicate with the player world.
In that conflict that is enough to destroy the plane, what position should the Kingdom of Death stand in facing the complex player world?
Behind the Shanhai Fengshen Guild is one of the top powers in the player world, and the country represented by the Yamata Orochi Guild is also considered a powerful country. Although they have not yet had the concept of plane collision, they have already thought of the end. The country founded by a player must have extraordinary significance to them. Inviting them to participate in this meeting is to let the country behind them see the power controlled by His Majesty Boneshatter.
Of course Qiushui Yuexian and Jiuzui Qianzhan saw it, and so did the viewers in their live broadcast room.
Now Broken Bones only has a small territory, but the hard power he possesses determines that he will not only have this small territory in the future.
In particular, the decision of Zhanlan Association to reorganize and establish Zhanlan Academy allowed viewers in the live broadcast room to see the potential of the Kingdom of Death.
"Technology is the primary productive force!"
The Shanhai Conferred Gods Guild believes that the starry sky was created by the Zhanlan Association for Broken Bones. When the more professional Zhanlan Academy comes into operation, it will definitely be able to provide corresponding magical support for the "Wukong Project".
The audience members of the Yamata no Orochi Guild wiped the cold sweat from their heads.
Fortunately, she and Zui Zui Qianzhan reached a timely reconciliation. She never expected that the broken bones that she had been staring at would be the first to found a nation in the game world. And it is not a weak and small country, but a powerful country with the potential to compete for hegemony.
Qian Zhan will be our princess from now on, and she must seize every opportunity to cooperate with Broken Bones.
The Shanhai Fengshen Guild and the Yamata no Orochi Guild proposed a new cooperation plan at the same time, and Qiu Shui invited Yuexian and Jiu Zui Qianzhan to hand it over to Hailot. At the same time, we hope to submit credentials to each other and establish formal diplomatic relations.
Helot's attitude is: "Things in the game should be solved in the game! I don't like to add political factors to it. The relationship between players is more convenient."
Although Helot refused to establish diplomatic relations, he accepted all the benefits given by the two guilds.
Don’t give it up in vain. The Kingdom of Death has just been established and there is a shortage of money everywhere.
The meeting continued under the auspices of Master Ra'em, and the participants actively discussed various trivial but very important matters.
As the king, Herot seemed very leisurely. He even asked the attendant to bring red wine, and he and Dorothea sat down on a chair by the wall and started drinking again.
Who would have thought that Raphael would move a chair over and sit down, so Herot had to ask the attendant to add another wine glass.
Dorotea poured wine for Raphael: "You... are very strange. You are obviously not a necromancer. How come you came to the land of death! Are you taking refuge?"
Raphael was very surprised while holding the wine glass: "You guessed it right, I came here to take refuge."
"Of course you guessed it right. Instead of seeking refuge, which living being is willing to come to the land of death? No matter who your enemy is, as long as you are a friend of Broken Bones, you are my friend, Dorothea. From now on, I will protect you...drink!"
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!" Raphael's playful smile showed no hint of the consciousness of a supreme angel. He clinked glasses with Dorothea and Herot, drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then released a soundproof barrier, saying: "I am a plane smuggler who specializes in selling specialties from heaven. Now I have a batch of star iron stones in my hand. Are you interested?"
Dorothea smiled and said: "You will get drunk with just one glass of wine. Selling specialties from heaven? Do you regard me as a fool, or do you regard the angels as a fool?"
Raphael said: "If you don't believe that I can smuggle specialties from paradise, you can ask Bone Broken Bones."
Dorotea turned to Herot and asked: "Does your friend like to lie very much?"
Herot drank wine and replied: "He didn't lie, he can indeed smuggle out the specialties of paradise."
