From Wild Mage to Wizard King

Roland doesn't care much about Sinar's situation. Anyway, given the situation of the Baiyin Empire, unless the Baiyin Emperor and the Baiyin family die together, the Silver Empire will definitely be able to maintain stability.

As long as it's not a fast-forward version where the war breaks out and the princes compete for hegemony, then the internal fighting in the Silver Empire has nothing to do with the war committee. If it breaks down, it will only slightly affect the committee's foreign trade income.

And the impact is not necessarily bad. After all, even in times of war, the war committee's syrup and wine trade may decline, but the committee can still sell food and weapons and equipment at high prices to the war-torn Sinar countries.

By that time, the war fortune may be more than what can be earned from normal trade.

Moreover, with the smooth implementation of the war committee's economic plan, the proportion of foreign trade revenue to the war committee's income has been steadily declining. Even if foreign trade is completely cut off, the war committee will only develop at a slower pace and there will be no particularly big turmoil.

Of course, the most important point is that the foundation of the Silver Empire is still there. The seven silver families, the Pantheon, the Tower of Truth and the extraordinary army of the empire are the cornerstones of the stability of the Silver Empire. Before they all go wrong, the Silver Empire will be in chaos no matter how chaotic it is. Not going anywhere.

And although the war committee has a relatively friendly relationship with the border nobles of the Silver Empire, apart from them, other vassal states and the Silver family are very wary of the committee, and the war committee does not have the appropriate means to interfere with them. Infighting.

However, compared to the Silver Empire, which is full of foundation and still powerful, the Northland Kingdom is not that strong.

As an orc-led kingdom with a short history, the North Kingdom does not have the same background and back-up skills as the Silver Empire. The strongest force in the North Kingdom is basically every orc king, who is directly under the command of the royal family. The royal army supported by the entire country,

In addition, the Northland Kingdom does not have a stable government and a stable method of succession to the throne like the Silver Empire.

Every change of king in the Northland Kingdom is basically a river of blood. The smaller one is a palace coup, and the larger one is just a civil war.

And every civil war will destroy the government established by the previous Northland Kingdom.

Under this situation, the Northern Kingdom was unable to implement effective reforms at all. Once the old king died and the new king ascended the throne, all the policies that the old king had worked so hard to implement before would be turned into a piece of waste paper.

Just like the previous orc king, in order to reduce the excessive proportion of humans in the North Kingdom, the legal population of each human tribe was established, and a poll tax was also established to inhibit the reproduction rate of humans.

While he was alive, this policy could still be barely implemented. During the Luo months of his rule, the proportion of humans in the population of the Northland Kingdom also declined.

But after his death, his policy came to naught. In addition to the population tax that was still being collected, the population limit on human tribes was equivalent to nothing. Black households like Roland were constantly born.

In less than ten years, the proportion of humans in the Northland Kingdom that had finally fallen has increased again.

With the unstable political tradition of the Northern Kingdom, even if the Northern Kingdom has ruled the North for hundreds of years, it still cannot develop at all.

Although the environment in the North is indeed harsh, the harsh environment in the North has also given birth to treasures that are unique to the North. As long as you are willing to spend time and energy to develop them, the huge North is enough to support a big country.

But over the years, the Northland Kingdom has only developed from a loose tribal alliance into a feudal kingdom, and simply developed a dozen cities.

Although agriculture has developed a little, animal husbandry and safari still support the Northland Kingdom.

At the current level of development of the Northland Kingdom, the War Council only needs to dispatch two conventional legions to defeat and conquer it.

Compared to the Silver Empire, the Northland Kingdom is obviously easier to bully.

Moreover, the three factions in the Northland Kingdom that are currently capable of competing for the throne have extended an olive branch to the War Council. The War Council can use this to intervene in the subsequent civil war in the Northland Kingdom.

However, Roland does not have such big ambitions for the Northland Kingdom. Although the Northland is considered a good territory, it is completely dispensable for the War Council. The buffer zone, Donnar and Kos areas,

There is still a lot of more fertile land with more development value waiting for the committee.

Therefore, the War Committee does not have any territorial demands for the Northland. The Committee is simply greedy for their population.

Of course, the Executive Committee only covets the population of the North, and Roland also has another reason besides coveting the population, which is to combat and solve the cold disaster that will occur in the North in the future.

The cold disaster will not only destroy the Northland and turn it into a no-man's land, it will also have a profound impact on Xinar and Dongnar. The cold wind in the North will significantly reduce the average temperature of the two places, causing A series of threats.

Whether it is for the population of the Northland Kingdom or for the war committee to not be affected by the cold disaster in the future,

Roland couldn't let the cold disaster break out.

According to Roland's memory, there is a high probability that the king of the Northland Kingdom can last another four or five years, and the civil war in the Northland will most likely break out in full force in 1966 or 1967.

Not long after the end of the Civil War, around the year 72, a cold wind would sweep across the entire Northland, bringing a cold disaster that would end the Northland.

It is now 60 years, and Roland and the War Council still have about ten years to explore and stop the cold disaster.

Although Roland knew that the cold disaster was caused by the frost dwarves' misuse of inheritance, Roland did not know the specific circumstances.

Moreover, although he knew about the existence of frost dwarves and that they lived in the Dragon's Back Mountains in the North,

But where exactly it was, Roland didn't know.

Therefore, Roland still needs to send an exploration team to find their existence, understand their current situation, know the real cause of the cold disaster, and stop it from happening.

Taking various factors into consideration, under Roland's order, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began diplomatic negotiations with envoys from the three factions in the North.

After negotiations, the War Council, as the stronger party, reached a basic consensus with the three factions.

The War Council will maintain neutrality in the civil war and sign non-aggression pacts with all three factions.

The trade license for food and weapons and equipment is open to the three parties, allowing the three parties to purchase with loans first, and to attract and recruit extraordinary people within the War Council to participate in the civil war.

The three factions will allow the official neutral personnel of the War Council to set up refugee camps during the civil war to attract and recruit Northland refugees. At the same time, based on the ownership of the area where refugees are recruited, the loans of the factions that control the area will be converted and offset.

In addition, all three factions will grant official neutrals of the Commission access rights, allowing official neutrals of the Commission to freely enter and exit all demilitarized areas.

Although it failed to win over the war committee to support its own faction, getting the committee's promise of neutrality was not the best news for the three factions, but it was not the worst news either.

Moreover, they also received the loan and guarantee provided by the committee, so their trip was not in vain. Although the loan still had to be repaid, the committee allowed them to use their population to offset the debt, so this loan was no different from a self-imposed loan.

Although the three factions all know that the committee is greedy for their population, what does it matter? There are many untouchables in the North. Just like leeks, they will always grow again no matter how many times they are harvested. It is a good thing if they can be converted into money.

After reaching a basic consensus and treaty with the three factions of the North Kingdom, under Roland's order, the War Council also organized a caravan and exploration team to go to the North Kingdom.

Although the envoys from the three factions of the Northland Kingdom still stayed with Tianqi and tried to continue to win over the committee, without Roland's consent, no matter how they tried to win over, it was of no use.

Even if a faction is willing to cede territory to the committee, members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will politely refuse.

For Roland, before a civil war breaks out or the Frost Dwarf settlement is found, there is nothing left to pay attention to in the North Kingdom.

He also has to focus on improving his own strength and building and developing the committee.

According to the small amount of information about the cold disaster in Roland's memory, as well as the large amount of water that suddenly appeared in the north after the cold disaster,

Judging from the ice elemental life form, and combined with the situation of the resonance elemental realm during Roland's previous life-and-death battle with Kan'aozu, the cold disaster is most likely caused by the connection between the water elemental realm and the material world.

If we plan for the worst case scenario, Roland and the War Council may have to face the entire water elemental world.

Although Roland and the War Council are not invincible even against the entire Water Elemental World, if Roland can build one or two more legendary elements, then even against the entire Water Elemental World, the War Council will be able to relax a little more. Save more energy and money and spend it on development and people's livelihood.

Therefore, after completing the construction of the [activation] element, Roland turned his attention to [spirituality], which represented the variable.

In a sleeping city on the committee's side, Roland and Hela opened a shop here.

Roland closed his eyes and lay lazily on the chair. The warm sunshine shone on Roland through the window, while Hela beside him was holding a kettle and slowly feeding the flowers in the shop under the sunlight. Water the basin.

On the other side of the shop, the undead brought by Hela from the lower ranks to the present are also busy, moving debris, watering,

Clean the dirt, trim the flowers...

Almost all the sundries in the store are thrown to it.

At the door of the shop, the gray crow was also hanging on a wooden root. Under the sunlight, he yawned very humanely.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Roland, who was lying on the chair, raised his eyebrows slightly. The spirituality he had not yet completed was reminding him.

"We have guests."

As soon as Roland finished speaking, the wind chime rang at the door, and a girl opened the door of the shop and walked in.

"Welcome, guest, do you need anything?"

"I... came to buy flowers."

The girl glanced at the store and said softly.

After hearing that she was here to buy flowers, Hela also raised her head slightly and looked at the girl. However, she just glanced at it briefly, then lowered her head and continued watering.

Roland stood up, showed a professional smile, and said.

"Does the customer want to give flowers as gifts?"

"Well, the girl nodded, she pursed her lips and asked in a low voice.

"What would you recommend if I give it to an old friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a long time?"

"Huh? If it's a gift for a friend, lilies, sunflowers or campanula are all good choices."

Yes, the girl nodded slightly and responded somewhat casually.

She asked after hesitating for a while.

"...I have a friend, it's not me, it's about a friend of mine."

"I understand, you said."

Roland said with a smile on his face.

"I...that friend of mine wanted to take advantage of my other friend because of some things. Although she didn't do it in the end, my friend and my other friend already knew about this matter, so I'm worried ...My friend is worried that another friend of mine is angry about this.”

The girl said intermittently.

Roland was also listening silently, and then said.

"You mean, you want to take advantage of your friend because of some things. Although you haven't really taken advantage of your friend, now you want to be friends with him again, but you are worried that he is angry with you?"

"right."

The girl nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head and said emphatically.

"It's not about me, it's about my friends."

"I see."

Roland nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"If that's the case, I would recommend Violet. Now that you're back, why not consider being frank and maybe the other party will forgive you?"

After listening to Roland's words, the girl was silent for a while, nodded silently, and spoke softly.

"Okay, just Violet."

After answering, the girl came back to her senses and spoke emphatically.

"It's not me, it's my friend. I bought it for my friend. No, I bought it for my friend."

"I see."

Roland nodded slightly, and Hela who was beside him had also prepared a bouquet of violets and walked over.

At the same time, the skin-covered undead on the side also came over carrying a dessert box. Roland took the box and

Passed it over.

The girl took the violet from Hela's hand, looked at the dessert box handed over by Roland, and said hesitantly, "This is it?"

"A little giveaway, hope your friend and your other friend can get back together."

Roland smiled slightly and said.

"It's seven yuan in total. Our store supports food stamps and metal currency payments."

The girl nodded, took out the silver coins from the Silver Empire to pay, and left the shop with the violet and dessert.

Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Roland saw that the variables he saw through [Spirituality] were collapsing. The futures in which Vanya and Orit were at odds quickly disappeared, and the future of reconciliation between the two became certain.

, brought back a fourth-level spellcaster to the committee, and won.

As the variables changed, Roland's unfulfilled [spirituality] also improved slightly.
