Chapter 450 Any Evil Will Be Brought to Justice

Raymond often thought that if he had not participated in the election for the king on a whim, but continued to be a simple bone craftsman, his life would definitely not have so many troubles.

However, the king also has the happiness of the king.

After becoming the king, Raymond has a most significant benefit, he can first call for a large number of resources. At least he can do this before stepping down.

When he concentrates on developing various tools, he will get long-lost happiness.

Raymond has no experience in governing the country, but as a senior craftsman, he is good at trying to make new tools and devices.

Occupation affects people's tendencies.

Just like the previous king Chesak, he always shows a tough style unique to the army, and everything must be carried out exactly as planned.

Raymond wants to use the craftsman's method to change the face of the kingdom, to make planting, grazing, transportation, and storage easy and convenient.

He made a tool.

Raymond named this thing Kenya.

In the traditional farming of the Resurrection Kingdom, plowing requires a fork-shaped bone plow, which is dragged by farmers or bone horses to loosen and crush the soil.

The plow teeth are a V-shaped plow with many bone forks fixed on it, and its appearance is like the dense teeth in a wolf's mouth.

Using the plow teeth, plowing becomes easier and more efficient.

After repeated tests in the farmland, it is proved that the plow teeth are indeed quite effective.

"The king is a genius!"

"The great Majesty Raymond!"

"The king of reclamation! This is the king we dream of!"

...

This invention reversed the negative image of Raymond's previous broken promise. He was praised and supported by the skeleton ancestors. He was no longer afraid of cow dung when he went out, and there were cheers for him everywhere.

Raymond finally straightened his back.

But among the praises, there was a different questioning voice.

Although the voice was not loud, it sounded harsh among the pile of praises.

"Isn't this too troublesome?"

The little Duke Baron asked.

He watched Raymond's invention and experimentation throughout the process. Baron's residence was placed next to the palace. He lived in seclusion and rarely went to many places.

Baron said frankly that there was still room for improvement in Ken Ya.

Raymond was a little unhappy.

You can say that I am not a good king, but you cannot question my craftsmanship.

In the royal city, Raymond is one of the best craftsmen!

So he said with a straight face: "I will give you materials, manpower and time, and you will improve it. This is your opportunity to show your ability, grasp it yourself, and do it yourself."

The goblin noble hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

It took three months before and after, and Baron completed the transformation of Ken Ya.

The new Ken Ya was towed by the long-tailed truck brought by Baron, and a row of bone wheels with plows were installed at the back. The car acted as traction power in the front, and the bone wheels assembled from bones in the back rolled on the ground, and the plows could act on the land at the same time.

The improved Ken Ya has a larger coverage area, is easy to operate, and does not require skilled riders. As long as you learn a little, anyone can drive a long-tailed truck.

This transformation has added a lot of details.

First of all, the long-tail truck was added.

The Resurrection Kingdom has been trading with the Twin Snake Empire for hundreds of years, and Raymond is no stranger to the long-tail truck.

This vehicle is like a big ant, with a metal sphere on the front with four to six thick iron pipes and two low-quality crystals on the front.

When running, the crystal on the front of the long-tail truck will emit light, like two weird eyes.

In Baron's words: "That is a warning crystal, which is very important. If the crystal flashes green, it means the car is normal. If it flashes red... it's best to jump out of the car and run away immediately, which means the car may explode at any time."

The body design is related to the character of the goblins of the Twin Snake Empire.

They are keen on finding new things, crazy inventors and shrewd businessmen, and the props and devices they make have a common feature: high practicality, but easy to break.

Raymond was puzzled: "Why not make a better quality device?"

"Because if the quality is too good, people can use a product for a long time, and it will be difficult to sell new products. Only when people keep buying can the goblins make a profit." Baron answered honestly.

"I see, the goblin merchants are really calculating."

Raymond sighed.

"But in fact, it is very difficult to make a particularly good device. Your Majesty, you are an experienced craftsman. I can see that you have a lot of insights into making various things. You should also know that making things that are good and cheap is a very high standard."

"In the engineering college, the teachers also said that the higher the quality of the tools, the more difficult it is to get proportional to the effort..."

Raymond agreed with this.

It is not difficult to make a skeleton dog, as long as there are enough bones and it can run.

But it is much more difficult to make a bone horse. Not only must the balance of the wide body be considered, but also the bone horse needs to have a certain load-bearing capacity. In addition, its weight must be reduced as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the four legs...

And to go a step further, it is even more difficult to make a monster with bones.

Previously, it took dozens of senior craftsmen to work together to make [Bone Charles], which took a lot of time and failed many times before it was barely completed. The cost of the entire project is very high, and it is impossible to make more than a few.

Manufacturing equipment is like this. If you want to improve performance and quality a little bit, you may need to pay several times or even dozens of times the effort and hardship.

Baron continued: "The power of the long-tail truck is goblin gunpowder."

"Goblin gunpowder is a very unstable fuel and power source, but it can bring powerful power after ignition. Many devices of goblin technology are supported by goblin gunpowder."

"The core of goblin gunpowder is the reaction of omnipotent stone with charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter. The explosion produced is difficult to balance, so it is usually wrapped in a sturdy and durable metal cauldron to avoid hurting people."

"Goblin gunpowder is stimulated to produce continuous explosions, and the iron rod on the cauldron is stimulated to drive and pull out power..."

After listening to Baron's detailed introduction, Raymond learned about goblin technology for the first time.

Goblin technology wants mass production, usability and cheapness. These three elements are the most important.

Although goblin gunpowder often causes casualties, if the profit is high enough, then these are not a problem.

On the other hand, since the goblin technology itself does not pursue precision and perfection, as long as it can be used, it is more about immediate use and practicality. So Baron does master the production methods of [Long Tail Truck] and [Goblin Gunpowder], just like most goblin engineers.

"Sulfur should be available near the volcano, but unfortunately, I don't know where the most demanded saltpeter is. It seems that it will be difficult for the kingdom to replicate the long tail truck." Raymond was a little regretful.

"Ah? Why is there a shortage of saltpeter?"

The goblin's eyes showed confusion: "Aren't you trading with the Iron Felt Federation? The dwarves in that world have the most saltpeter mines in the entire civilization chain."

Raymond asked the diplomat next to him: "Do we trade saltpeter with the Iron Felt Federation?"

"Your Majesty, we did not conduct this transaction. The main trade between the kingdom and the Iron Felt Federation is various metal tool products."

After the rise of the Resurrection Kingdom, in addition to the Twin Snake Empire of the main civilization, apostles from other civilization chain worlds also came to visit one after another and established some trade relations with this side.

Raymond has been in office for a short time and does not know much about these things in the past.

He only knew that the Iron Felt Federation was a world dominated by dwarves, and it seemed that it did not get along well with the goblin world of the Twin Snake Empire. The Iron Felt Federation imported crops and meat from the Resurrection Kingdom to solve the problem of insufficient food there.

Therefore, the Twin Snake Empire also warned the Resurrection Kingdom, but was ignored.

With the support of God Yao, the kings of all generations have a tough attitude towards the outside world.

Especially after the emergence of the Dog City, the messengers of the gods valued the Resurrection Kingdom even more, and God Yao officially became one of the masters here. The Twin Snake Empire lost its upper-level advantages and support and could only sanction and threaten at the trade level.

In the past hundred years, the Resurrection Kingdom has long been self-sufficient and no longer looks at the face of the empire. In addition, it has gradually established trade relations with other civilizations, and the influence of the Twin Snake Empire on the kingdom has continued to weaken.

The Iron Duke sent his second son to the Resurrection Kingdom to ask for asylum because it was difficult for the Twin Snake Empire to extend its tentacles here.

After thinking it through, Raymond told the diplomat: "Write it down. For subsequent transactions with the Ironclad Federation, saltpeter must be on our list."

"Go on, Baron, tell me about your improvements."

The goblin nodded: "Okay, now we can do a comparative experiment..."

After field testing, the new type of plowing teeth plowed three times the area of ​​the old type of plowing teeth at the same time.

Raymond readily admitted: "I lost, you made something better! You are indeed an excellent craftsman and engineer! An amazing invention!"

"Your Majesty, I relied on the existing technical advantages of goblin technology."

Baron showed a rare humility among goblins: "In fact, the improvements I made are nothing more than a reset of the goblin technology on the plowing teeth, which is not a personal creation."

Raymond felt that Baron seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.

He patted the young duke's thin shoulder: "Before, goblins gave people the impression of arrogance and pride, but you, Baron, are a rare humble person among them."

"This is because of my father's request."

Baron smiled awkwardly: "I have been timid and cowardly since I was a child. My father told me to remember to be humble and low-key, and not to argue with my brother. Because I am the second son, the title will not fall on my shoulders. He trained me as a goblin engineer and always let me focus on knowledge and engineering technology..."

Raymond was even more delighted when he heard it.

It turned out that the Iron Duke deliberately trained him in this way to avoid him and his brother from competing for the title, which also left Baron a way out.

This accidental encounter can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Baron, you should do your research here well. The kingdom will not treat you unfairly. When the empire is stable in the future, we will send you back and support you."

"Thank you very much."

In the next few years, various materials were sent to the royal city, and Baron led the bone craftsmen to make long-tail trucks one by one.

The new type of reclamation teeth began to spread slowly among farmers, more farmland was reclaimed, and the yield of crops reached new peaks year after year.

This young goblin from the empire gradually gained the love and respect of the white-bone ancestors. Everyone began to call him the Duke of Harvest, and people waved to him enthusiastically wherever he went.

"My Lord Duke! Are you here to inspect the farm again today?"

"Ah, don't say that, I just came to see how the crops are growing."

"Is the Duke considering a new invention on the ranch? Please remember to conduct experiments in our ranch. We are always waiting for your visit!"

"sure."

"Hello, Duke of Harvest, it's a nice day today, I wish you a nice day!"

"Hello, and I wish you all the best!"

Although he is not a noble of the kingdom, everyone calls him that.

…

Six years after Balon came to the kingdom, bad news came from the empire.

Duke Todd died of food poisoning.

The poisoner was one of Duke Todd's mistresses. After the Duke's death, the poisoner also committed suicide.

This poisoning case is suspicious at every turn, but no one cares about the real murderer and the reason. More importantly, the title of Iron Duke and this large duchy.

The Emperor of the Empire believed that the Iron Duke's death was suspicious. In order to prevent unrest and unrest in the Duchy, the Empire took charge of the entire Duchy until the true cause was investigated.

At the same time, the empire sent envoys to the Resurrection Kingdom.

The envoy asked Balon to go to the imperial capital to meet the emperor, to cooperate in the investigation of the death of his brother Todd, to clear himself of the suspicion, and to restore order in the duchy with the help and guidance of the empire.

…

Ironically, the visitor from the Empire was Boone who had placed Balon here.

"The Resurrection Empire has always stated that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and the world, so presumably the king will not interfere if I bring Duke Baron back to the empire, right?"

Boone still had that lukewarm attitude.

Raymond looked at Baron beside him.

Balon lowered his head, making his already short body even thinner, as if he was completely enveloped by the shadow cast by Boone.

An oppressive dullness filled the palace.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Boon glanced at the short goblin: "Duke, let's go."

Baron followed Boone like a marionette.

Before leaving the palace gate, he turned back and bowed to Raymond: "Thank you for your care over the past few years, Your Majesty the King, I will remember your kindness."

He turned around, his young back looking stooped and small.

"Wait a moment."

Raymond suddenly said: "Feric Baron, do you want to stay in this country?"

The goblin stiffened.

"King, please don't do those unnecessary things." Boon turned his head and warned.

"If you want to stay, then tell me loudly that you want to stay. Then you are a citizen of the Resurrection Kingdom, and no one can take you away by force in any name."

Raymond looked at the goblin's stiff back: "Tell me, Ferric Baron, do you want to stay?"

"King, please respect yourself."

Boon's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "My patience with you is limited."

"Tell me louder."

Raymond walked forward slowly: "Tell me, are you willing to stay in this country and become the respected Duke of Harvest here, or go back and accept the mercy of the empire."

"..."

Baron's back undulated violently, and his body trembled slightly. Finally, he turned his face, with snot hanging from his long pointed nose and his eyes red.

"I think……"

"Duke." Boone looked down at the short goblin: "This is your destiny."

"..."

Raymond walked slowly towards the door: "I don't believe in fate, and the gods never announce everyone's fate. The oracle of Lord Yao said that heroic legends and epics are created from scratch. Just like this kingdom, no one has ever been optimistic about it since its birth. "

"But so what? We love it ourselves, we work hard for it, we cultivate farmland, we raise livestock, we are skeletal ancestors with no potential, but we have made it this far."

"Even the great God Yao has been kind to our efforts and sent scholars from the Yao tribe to support our country. If there are miracles created through hard work in this world, then our miracles are not over yet."

"When no one else believes in you, you must believe in yourself without hesitation and practice your ideals. No matter how difficult the road is, you must move forward. This is the only path for a hero."

"Don't cry, don't be afraid, answer me like a warrior."

Raymond shouted loudly: "I ask you in the name of the king, Ferric Baron, do you want to stay?"

"think!"

The goblin's chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't help crying: "I want to stay, I want to stay in the Resurrection Kingdom! I don't want to be imprisoned, used as a puppet, or turned into a walking zombie, I want to stay!"

"good very good!"

Raymond raised the bone scepter in his hand: "Feric Baron, I declare that from today on, you are a citizen of the Resurrection Kingdom and enjoy all the treatment and protection of the kingdom. Come on, come to me."

The goblin lowered his head and ran to Raymond's side.

Raymond said in a deep voice: "Now, Lord Apostle, please leave my country. You have no right to take him away!"

Wisps of purple smoke emerged from Boon's body, and he raised his hand and pointed lightly: "King, you may have made a mistake... I am not asking for your opinion, I am just informing you."

The bone scepter shattered into pieces at the far end of his fingers.

Raymond blocked Balon behind him and pulled out the bone sword from his waist.

The next second, Raymond was grabbed by Boone's throat and lifted off the ground.

"It seems like there has to be a new king here." Boone said with a smile.

Raymond swung his shuriken sword and slashed at the enemy's head.

Snapped--

The bone sword broke into two pieces.

Just as Boone punched Raymond's skull, he was suddenly knocked away by the huge force, breaking two stone pillars next to him, and his burly body fell into the thick wall.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late."

A figure in black appeared beside Raymond. He had a face like a bear and a cat, but his small eyes revealed a cunning.

"Your Majesty's performance is really admirable. You are the king we need. No one can offend our king here."

The wise insect looked at Boone who came out of the wall, and his eyes suddenly became cold: "Trying to assassinate the king, this foreign force is becoming more and more rampant."

"Tell me, which god sent you? Why do you want to provoke a dispute between the empire and the kingdom? What is your purpose? What is your relationship with the foreign attack on the Twin Snake Empire before?"

This made Boone stunned: "What do you mean? Don't talk nonsense!"

"If you refuse to surrender, then you will not surrender."

The wise insect grinned and moved his arms , showing the tip of his claws: "A mere LV50 rookie, he really doesn't know how to write death. Or is this world too comfortable, even such a character can show off his power."

"Assassinating the king, attempting to overthrow the kingdom's regime, provoking the confrontation between the kingdom and the empire, and even the disagreement between Lord Yao and Lord Messenger... Really vicious."

Boone's eyes suddenly widened: "Don't talk nonsense, slandering people!"

He suddenly realized that something was wrong: "What are you going to do? You dare to kill me? I am the apostle of God! You actually want to offend the power of God for a secular king? Or is this what God Yao wants?"

"Bold! How dare you offend God."

A voice sounded in the air.

Mao Cao slowly appeared beside Raymond, she looked down at Boone in the distance: "Blasters, die."

The wise insect turned into a ball of black light and enveloped Boone.

Soon, Boone fell to the ground in a pool of blood, and was dragged out by the wise insect.

Baron, who witnessed everything, was stunned: "This... this..."

He said a little anxiously: "Your Majesty, is this how the Resurrection Kingdom does things? The apostle was executed like this... Won't there be any trouble?"

"Don't worry."

Raymond looked calm: "Our country welcomes all friends to join us, and we are not afraid to face any evil forces. Any evil will be brought to justice. This is the courage that Lord Yao has given us."

Having said that, he was actually panicking just now. He was completely facing the enemy apostle head-on with a temper - although Raymond knew in his heart that Maocao would definitely take action to defend the interests of the kingdom, which was to safeguard the interests of Lord Yao.

Now he thinks about it and is afraid.

I was careless.

I was almost sent to the Tomb of the Skeleton King in advance.

"It's a pity for my scepter. I like that scepter very much. It's not easy to find such a handy bone..." Raymond's eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy.

The goblin Baron looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

At this moment, Raymond suddenly felt a huge force descending on him.

"This is... the gift of Lord Yao!"

He quickly knelt on the ground and expressed sincere gratitude for the blessing given by the god.

After a moment, Raymond came back to his senses from the wonderful warmth.

He clearly felt a kind of sublimation of power in the divine revelation... This power is... [leading by example]?

As long as I can do it, everyone will follow?

Maocao walked to Raymond's side.

The cat lady apostle smiled at him: "It is a blessing for the people to have your majesty in charge of the country. The kingdom will surely be famous in the world within a hundred years! In the future, please give me more advice."

Raymond said timidly.

He was full of bitterness in his heart.

Originally, Raymond was going to propose abdication in the next few days. The position of king is really not so easy to sit.

Just now, he had a face-to-face confrontation with the apostle, and there was also a part of him that wanted to let go of himself before leaving office and leave a good story of the kingdom... Not everyone has the opportunity to confront an apostle head-on.

But who knows.

The apostle was killed.

For him, the safest place in the Resurrection Kingdom is the throne behind him. Lady Cat Grass and the others will do their best to protect the king's safety, but if a white bone craftsman disappears... they probably won't care much.

The king's career must continue.

Not only must it continue, but it must be done with all its heart and soul, so as not to be dismissed.

Raymond sighed to the sky.

Originally, I just wanted to retire safely from the position of king, but now I am completely unable to move because of the Twin Snake Empire, and I must work hard on state affairs until I die...

There is indeed a reason why kings of all generations hate the Twin Snake Empire.

The declining Twin Snake Empire is the empire that everyone likes to see.

Raymond fell into deep thought.

So, is there any way to help this huge empire accelerate this process?

Thanks: It's really hard to name it, and support 500 starting coins.
