Super Dimensional Pirates in Pirates

People across the country gathered in squares and in front of televisions to watch Eric's New Year's message:

"In the past two years, we have witnessed milestone events in the history of this country!"

"Found the country!"

"reform!"

“Comprehensive construction!”

Eric, who was speaking on the high platform, paused and looked down at the people looking up, as well as Morgans, who was recording the video below.

"We are marching proudly on the great road of making the people prosperous and the country strong!"

"The establishment of schools allows every child to have books to read!"

"Tch!" Eric seemed to hear countless boys and girls smacking their lips in their hearts, scolding themselves.

"Publicizing hospitals allows every patient to receive treatment, and medical treatment is no longer a privilege for certain people!"

Many patients and their families who received treatment were moved to tears and shouted loudly for Eric: "Oh!"

"Control the pollution of land and rivers so that everyone can have enough to eat and no longer have to worry about drinking clean water!"

"Oh oh oh!!" This time, the crowd burst into even louder shouts.

"Our country is getting better every day and every second!"

"If anyone wants to ruin this..."

Before Eric could finish speaking, many people raised their fists angrily and shouted: "Beat them!"

"Beat them!"

Morgans listened and thought to himself: 'The hearts and minds of the Chinese people are all focused on Eric...'

'His Majesty the Emperor has a subordinate who is good at controlling people's hearts...'

"..." (I'm not good at writing compositions, and I'm not very good at writing speeches. I can't embarrass Zhang Liang, so I'll use ellipses instead)

Eric first summarized the achievements of the past year, then thanked the people for their labor and dedication, which made them happy, and then announced this year's development plan.

As for the tax standards, notices were posted a month ago. The tax rates are differentiated based on personal income. The tax rate for ordinary people is not very high. This country has not yet produced wealthy businessmen, and no one needs to pay the highest tax rate.

"The New Year has arrived, and our troops are currently in the cold North Sea, defending the country's territory and honor!"

"Medical staff and public officials are also working conscientiously at their posts, ready to respond to emergencies that may come at any time."

"I want to say this: Thank you for your hard work!"

"Let us face the future hand in hand and realize national peace and prosperity together!"

"Hua Hua Hua"

The people in the audience and the audience in front of the TV applauded enthusiastically. At least this speech touched their hearts. No ruler before would not care about their group of weeds growing on the roadside.

This speech was broadcast live, not only for the mainland of China, but also for some newly occupied Beihai areas.

Of course, these newly occupied sites also enjoy a two-year tax exemption policy.

"Alas..." King Fosak sighed.

Prince Bores said worriedly: "Father."

"I'm afraid we will also lose our throne in the future and become ordinary citizens..."

"..." Prince Bores knew it well and did not answer directly, but the old king could see from his face that this was the case.

"Aren't you unwilling to give in?" the old king asked: "Our family is obviously superior..."

Prince Bores said slowly: "You will die."

"The kings and nobles of the more than 20 participating countries were all executed by His Majesty Eric in public."

All the old king's words were stuck in his throat. After a long silence, he lowered his head: "Is there no other way?"

"Civil service examination." Prince Bores said in a calm tone: "This is the policy of selecting officials of China State. I knew it a year ago."

Then he took out a few books and said: "I have studied in advance..."

"..." The old king twitched the corners of his mouth, and after a long while he said: "I am an old man who is about to die, so I won't take the exam."

"Father, please think about the good news." Prince Bores advised: "The Dawn Pirates have not confiscated our family's wealth..."

"Other than losing some status privileges, we haven't lost much."

"We will soon have the same status as those common people!" The old king knocked on the armrest in displeasure: "Isn't this a loss of too much?"

"We don't need to continue to pay that expensive heavenly gold." Bores continued: "The newly occupied area will be tax-free for two years. After two years, taxes will only be collected based on the income of that year."

"I did some calculations and found out that the taxes we need to pay are less than one-sixth of the gold in heaven!"

"Furthermore, in order to ensure regional stability, the positions of some officials in charge of people's livelihood will not change much."

"...I'm getting old too." The old king sighed and said, "I can only rely on you from now on."

"I will." Prince Bores nodded in agreement.

"Well..." Prince Bores hesitated for a moment, then said: "Father, can I manage some family members of the clan?"

"What's wrong?"

"Some members of the royal family are still doing things that tarnish the family's reputation. If these things are heard by Governor Zhuge Liang or even His Majesty Eric, I am afraid that the entire family will be implicated."

"Hmph!" The old king snorted heavily and said bitterly: "Don't show mercy, punish me severely! It's already this time, and you're still causing trouble everywhere."

Prince Bores took the order and said: "Yes."

…

The speech was over, followed by the parade and other events. Zhang Liang, Yu Qian and other ministers adhered to their posts. Most members of the Dawn Pirates also took advantage of the festival to play around and relax, leaving only a few people staying in their temporary residence.

"Eric, are you really His Majesty the Emperor?" Dolly opened her eyes wide and looked at Eric carefully.

"Is this still false?" Eric asked doubtfully: "By the way, wasn't someone calling me Your Majesty before? Didn't you hear it?"

"I thought you liked the title Your Majesty, and someone else added it later." Dolly stuck out her tongue and asked curiously:

"Eric, aren't you a pirate? How could you become the emperor?"

Eric said proudly: "I defeated the original king of this country and took this country back."

"What... so boring."

"Haha" Kuangsan smiled softly, glanced at Eric and said, "Actually, Eric has something to hide from you."

"Huh?" Dolly immediately turned to look at Kuang San, and Eric also showed doubts in his eyes.

Kuang San covered his mouth and smiled: "Eric convinced the princess of this country to sleep."

"Sleep...take...?" Dolly tilted her head, her forehead covered with question marks.

"Yes, persuasion." Eric said quickly, speaking at a speed that did not allow anyone to interrupt: "We defeated the pirates who occupied this country, and then discussed it with Princess Hiyori. In the end, she chose to abdicate and let me rule this country.

"

Dolly sighed: "Princess Hihe is so generous."

"Because she understands that she cannot protect this country on her own." Scathach ruthlessly revealed the truth.

"..."

"The world of adults is very complicated, and it is full of intrigues. Don't believe what is happening in front of you, but think more about the truth behind the incident." Kuang San touched Dolly's head and gave it to the innocent clone.

a lesson.

Dolly sniffed, and the white paper was stained with a layer of ink.

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Sir Eric?"

As soon as she heard it, she knew it was Hiyori's voice. Eric called her in: "Hiyori, come in."

"Yes." Hiyori pushed open the door and walked over with her legs.

Dolly greeted politely: "Hello, Princess Hiyori."

"Hello Dolly." Hiyori responded with a smile, then turned to look at Eric: "Sir Eric, Mr. Morgans is preparing to leave China."

"Leaving so soon? Is he in a hurry?"

"Mr. Morgans seems to want to go back and write a report as soon as possible. He wants to publish the grand event of the Kingdom of China in the newspaper."

Eric warned: "Oh... tell him not to write unnecessary content."

"Yes." Hiyori agreed softly, then turned around and left the room. Hiyori's somewhat unnatural walking movements naturally caught the eyes of Kurumi and Scathach, who had sharp eyes.

"Ala, ala," the corners of Kuang San's eyes curved, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.

Scathach suddenly asked: "Eric, you have been fooling around in the powder pile lately, how is your marksmanship practice going? You haven't fallen behind, right?"

"..." Eric did not answer because he knew that no matter what he answered, he would be trained by Scala.

The answer is good, Scathach will say I want to check it out.

The answer is normal, Scathach will use combat to push himself.

If the answer is not good, Scathach will use "love" lash.

"Why don't we start on the first day of the new year?" Kuang San temporarily sided with Eric.

"The enemy does not take into account time and holidays." Scathach insisted.

"That's right." Kuang San was immediately convinced.

Eric shouted in his heart: 'Hold on a little longer, Kuang San!'

"If you can beat me in marksmanship..." Scathach pursed his lips and showed a charming smile: "I can grant you a wish."

Eric immediately stood up and said calmly: "I'm fine, let's go to the training ground now."

"..." Kuang San's eyes immediately turned evil.

Dolly also became energetic. She obviously didn't pay attention to the secret confrontation between the adults. She clapped her hands and said, "I want to see it too!"

"By the way, what would Eric wish for?"

"Children, please don't interfere in adult matters."

"I'm not young!" Dolly puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"Dolly, come and see if you want." Kuang San said, "I also want you to see the world's top combat power."

"Okay!" Doli, whose health was gradually improving, followed the three of them with a little jump.

…

Eric's marksmanship alone was no match for Scathach's superb marksmanship. At the end of the fight, the two of them unleashed their full strength and fought until darkness fell.

Scathach used his shadow to possess him to enhance his physical fitness; Eric transformed into a human-dragon form and controlled wind, fire, thunder and lightning, which opened Dolly's eyes.

Eric pressed the fire-pointed gun against Scathach's chin and said condescendingly: "I won."

Scathach raised his eyebrows: "What? You want to do things on the spot?"

"Ahem" Eric coughed, retracted his spear, and pulled up Scathach who was lying on the ground: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I lost." Scathach frankly accepted his defeat.

Then, in a voice that only two people could hear, she invited in a low voice: "Would you like to come to my room tonight?"

Celtic women are really tough...

Eric shook his head and replied: "I will beat you with marksmanship."

"By then, you will recognize me more."

"..." Scathach pursed his lips and chuckled: "This is not easy to do."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Eric said confidently: "Haven't you already seen the future?"

"Ha" Scathach chuckled: "Then I'll wait for you to defeat me with your marksmanship."

[Scathach’s favorability has increased slightly, but the bond level remains unchanged]

Then Scathach picked up the magic spear and walked away heroically.

"Is this good?" Kuang San curled his lips in displeasure: "I've obviously got it all."

"A proud female warrior, let you play with her as you please?"

"It is precisely because Scathach is arrogant that I have to meet her conditions to defeat her."

"Huh huh" Kuang San tilted his head arrogantly, not looking at Eric.

Dolly asked like a curious baby: "What are you talking about?"

"..." Neither of them made a sound.

Dolly grabbed Eric's arm and shook it hard twice: "Don't ignore me!"

"It's getting dark..." Eric looked up at the setting sun and asked Dolly: "Aren't you going shopping? Heitong must have invited you, right?"

"There are too many people on the street..." Dolly lowered her head: "I'm not used to it."

"This is what festivals will look like." Kuang San took Dolly's hand and said, "Shall we go together?"

"Will Eric come too?" Dolly asked anxiously.

"Yeah." Eric also took Dolly's other hand.

[Dolly's favorability has increased, the bond level has increased from 2 (close friend) to 3 (trusted friend), and 2 bond points have been gained]

"Looks like mom and dad..." Dolly said happily.

"I don't have a daughter as old as you."

"I'm not that old."

Eric and Kuang San said one after the other.

However, Dolly was not sad. She bent her legs and her entire body weight hung on Eric and Kuangsan's hands.

"You said..." Eric and Kuang San looked at each other: "Will our children also play like this?"

Kuang San replied duplicitously: "Who wants to give you a child?"

"Kursan, are you going to have a baby?" Dolly stared at Kuangsan's belly excitedly.

"No." Kuang San raised his hand and gave Doli a stir-fried chestnut.

Dolly covered her forehead and squatted on the ground pretending to cry.

Eric bent down and asked, "Dolly, do you want lots of sisters?"

"Yeah!" Dolly nodded vigorously: "I want to be a sister!"

"Okay." Eric blinked: "You will become a sister to many people."

"Eric..." Dolly opened her eyes wide: "Do you have many women outside?"

"..." Eric couldn't take a breath and almost suffocated to death.
