Chapter 829 thriving
&Nbsp; ‘Endless ambition and (desire) hope are indeed the driving force supporting the development of civilization. I hope Stephen can create a miracle. But Maztec was not as vulnerable as the American Indians, otherwise the gods would have swarmed like a group of sharks smelling blood. ‘&Nbsp; Looking at the two men of the ‘Kestrel’ mercenary group gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, Henry squinted his eyes and muttered to himself. Although he also longed for someone to replicate the conquest of South America by Spain on Earth, it was obviously impossible. Since the elves used super magic to completely tear the entire continent apart, each continent has formed a unique cultural circle. With a sufficient population, they have enshrined their own belief systems and gods, among them The animistic beliefs of the Maztec continent are the most difficult. People there believe that everything is anim, human souls, trees, stones, rivers, mountains, animals, mountains, lakes, etc. This also means that there are a large number of spirits in the primitive tropical rain forest. They are neither gods or divine creatures, but also different from ordinary magic creatures. It is called the spirit life of the soul. Generally speaking, which tribe regards these creatures as totems and beliefs, then these creatures provide protection to the tribe. A few powerful ones can also grant some spell-like abilities, so they want to invade purely in a large area. He was looking for death. Even the guardian **** Heim, who has medium power, found his power to be inadequate after plundering several large tribes, so he gave up his plan to continue expanding, and the six-member council of Amn had no plans to expand at all. , Only guarding a small colony, gaining huge wealth through trade. Henry is not sure whether his plan to acquire labor will be successful, but since the initial investment is small, he doesn’t mind trying it. Anyway, it fails and there is little loss. Just when he stood in place to think about the gains and losses. The old butler did not know when he appeared behind him, and lowered his voice to remind him: ‘You should go in and see the child. Don’t let Miss Doris wait too long at this time. Otherwise she will be very lost. ‘&Nbsp; ‘Hehe, you’re right. I didn’t expect that I would have three children before I was 30 years old. You know, Shikoudi is pregnant again. If nothing happens, she will give birth to a second child at this time next year. ‘Henry has a smile on his face. ‘Really? ! ‘The serious expression on the old butler’s face was instantly replaced by joy, and he hurriedly bent down and bowed deeply. ‘Then my waist congratulates you. The prosperous descendants are the manifestation of the prosperity of the family. Only when the direct blood relatives of the Angome family take root in this land, your rule will be as stable as a rock. ‘&Nbsp; As an old man deeply influenced by traditional feudal thoughts. He has already regarded himself as a member of the Angome family, and is always considering the Henrys and his wife. There is absolutely no doubt about his loyalty. In Faerun Continent, solid rule by blood and marriage is a common practice in all kingdoms. They draw most of the powerful factions to themselves by marrying the women of the great domestic aristocracy, and the royal princesses are used as a bargaining chip for the exchange of interests to promote those ambitious merchants, adventurers and mercenaries who want to enter the circle of nobility. Regiment leader. Because these guys usually do not have a good background, they can get a princess as their wife, so their status will instantly become noble, and no one will dare to laugh at their lowly pedigree. The royal family can also obtain a loyal servant. Betrayal is unlikely to occur within at least three generations. After so many years of edification, Henry has known this set a long time ago, just smiled and shook his head. Turning around and pushing the door open and walking into the room, he did not say his disdain for this system. In his view, this kind of rule based on a fragile balance is not stable at all, and the filthiness of those noble complexes is even more numerous. If someone can come up with enough benefits , Then they will disintegrate on their own from within immediately, and they will fall apart in a short time. Just like the tyranny **** Benn said in the doctrine, only power in this world is the truth. When a tyrant has more than 90% of the rights, even if the whole country complains and the people are not full, they dare not resist. Can only endure and obey silently, because resistance means death. In the face of a powerful army, the so-called ‘the vast ocean of people’s war’ is nothing but a joke. Only a fool would believe that unarmed civilians can defeat a regular army armed to the teeth. Of course, if some elites also join in, then the nature is completely different. For this reason, nearly a quarter of the rulers in the entire Faerun continent regard Bann as their patron saint and vigorously support his church, even if the **** of tyranny has fallen. After so many years, his mortal church not only has not shrunk, but has grown. Henry does not intend to be a tyrant, but he does not want to be constrained by the future formation of aristocratic alliances, so the dictator is his position. In fact, dictatorship itself does not mean evil. Many dictators have brought great benefits to ordinary people, and they can also lead the country to get rid of poverty, poverty, and prosperity. In essence, their camp should be lawful and neutral, not all of them are supporters of tyranny as in the rumors. After entering the room, Henry saw Doris lying on the bed with a happy smile and maternal atmosphere, as well as the baby boy who had been washed clean. The female shaman from Maztec stayed quietly in the corner, staring at the baby with both eyes, the piety and fanaticism on her face could even be felt by the servants get. As for the freckled face of Eleanor, she is showing off the reward she has just received to her own lady, and her twittering is like a lark, which arouses the envy of other servants. She was still a child when she was young, and she didn’t understand the truth of not revealing money at all. The old butler following discovered this situation and immediately whispered:’According to tradition, you should give some rewards to the servants, and at the same time prepare to hold a banquet to celebrate the birth of a family member. New members. ‘&Nbsp; Henry nodded lightly: ‘Since there are conventional rules, follow them. For the mansion, including the chef and gardener, 50 gold coins per person. As for the banquet, wait until Doris recovers. All expenses are directly deducted from my name. ‘&Nbsp; ‘Understood, I promise to do it beautifully. Let everyone feel your generosity and joy. ‘&Nbsp; The butler bowed meticulously after speaking, and then beckoned to all the servants present, leading everyone to evacuate. He understood that the two of them must have a lot to say at this time. Some secrets may be involved, so take the initiative to clear the scene. In just a few seconds. Only three adults and a newly born baby were left in the house that was packed with people. Maybe the relationship has just experienced a blood collapse, Doris looked a little excited when Henry appeared, tears have been rolling in her eyes, one hand is holding her child tightly, for fear of hearing What bad news. In the mainland of Faerun, the nobles often take illegitimate children from their biological mothers and train them to become fighters, mages, and scholars needed by the family according to their own wishes, so she seems very tension. ‘Relax. You risked your life to give birth to this child, and no one can take him away from you. ‘&Nbsp; Henry came to the head of the bed and gently kissed the little (lover)’s forehead comfortingly. He saw the young mother’s worries at a glance, and immediately gave a guarantee, after all, emotional instability of women after childbirth is a taboo. Hearing these words, Doris relaxed instantly, her face regained a smile: ‘Thank you, I have been worried that you will hand him over to the king to raise him. Now give this little guy a name. See how strong and cute he is, he must be a handsome prince when he grows up. ‘&Nbsp; Like all mothers, she is full of doting for her children. The brilliance of maternity is vividly manifested at this moment. Looking at his baby son, Henry thought about it for half a minute, smiled and asked: ‘how do you think Wade? ‘&Nbsp; ‘Wade? ‘Doris underestimated in a low voice. Then he nodded happily. ‘Very good, then he will be called by this name from now on. ‘ After that, she leaned over and stroked the little guy’s head, muttering to herself: “My child, Dad gave you a good name. From now on you will be called Wade is out. ‘&Nbsp; The intimacy of the young and beautiful mother and the baby instantly made Henry feel a little warm. He put the box in his hand on the bed, grabbed his son’s little hand, and carefully checked the baby’s body for any hidden dangers. Doris noticed the exquisitely crafted forehead box and asked curiously: ‘What’s in it? A gift? ‘&Nbsp; ’Kestrel’s Regiment Commander Stephen asked me to pass it on to you. Open it and take a look, I believe it must be valuable. ‘Speaking, Henry showed a playful smile on his face. Although he has not opened it. But to distinguish it from the weight, ten of them* are things like jewelry. ‘Stephen? ‘Doris frowned and began to think hard. Obviously, he was not impressed by this person. But fortunately, she was still young and her memory was still at its peak, and her face quickly showed a suddenly realized expression. ‘Ah, remember it! A few days ago, a servant said that a man named Stephen took a letter of introduction and said that he wanted to see me. The time seemed to be today. ‘&Nbsp; Henry smiled and nodded: ‘Yes, I met him at the door just now, and some deals have been made, so you can accept this gift. ‘&Nbsp; Like all the women who received gifts, Doris was excited to unpack, and when the box was opened, it released a bright light. I saw this one-foot-square box filled with gems of various colors of different sizes. Although they are still rough stones that have not been cut and polished, they are still enough to make the heartbeat of those who see it speed up. ‘this! ! This is too expensive! ‘Doris’ hands are shaking at the moment. As an aristocratic woman she knows very well that when someone gives a great gift, she must ask for something, so she suddenly became a little flustered, I don’t know if she should accept it. . ‘Hehe, these things are specialties from the Maztec mainland, not as valuable as you think. I bet that Stephen’s call fee will not exceed five hundred gold coins. Right, the soul shaman from another continent? ‘&Nbsp; Speaking, Henry turned around and looked at Kakasimma with a meaningful look, and at the same time released an aura of horror. He could feel that the soul of the oil-painted woman in front of him was very special, as if it had been connected to another world, that was weird and mysterious. (To be continued)
