Chapter 1209 A Good Father Will Have a Good Son

This castle knight defense line did play an effective role during the peak period of the Kingdom of Tesser.

When small-scale monsters came, the lords who watched each other could destroy them.

When the large-scale monster army, the lords who were waiting for help were like nails nailed there, so that they could not let go until the royal army came to help.

When the royal family fell into weakness, when the monsters attacked on a large scale, those local lords could not wait for reinforcements and would be swallowed up one after another. Nottburg was the one that lasted longer, not because of its strong strength, but because of its good geographical advantage, it was closer to the inland, and it was guarded by two rivers. In the end, it was forced to evacuate all the people.

Now Gavin solved it directly from the root. With the guard of this group of high mountain races, those monster races could not reproduce and thrive in the mountains.

If it cannot form a scale, it will naturally not cause trouble.

This matter is not just as simple as reducing war disasters. The Marching Mountains are the source of the Asji River. There are seven or eight tributaries flowing out of the mountains and converging together. The river network crosses and makes up for a lot of fertile land.

Because of frequent invasions, this place was either forced to abandon or had no chance to be cultivated.

As long as the safety of the Marching Mountains is ensured, it will definitely become a fertile land for human life. Not only can a large number of territories be established, but at least two or three large cities can be born.

"There is one thing I must make clear in advance." Gavin said slowly, "Both the City of the Earth and the Goliath Legion are in the initial stage of construction. If you want to see results, you still need a lot of investment."

He strived for legal status for Kaylissa, of course, not just for a name, but for actual benefits.

As a border fortress, especially a mountain city with little output, the City of the Earth not only does not need to pay taxes to the kingdom, but also has to draw a lot of economic assistance and military expenses from the kingdom.

Originally, this task was Zalanda's.

Since they want to play the political game, then don't think of taking advantage without vomiting blood.

The current situation is very much like raising your own children with other people's money.

If Hared is a short-sighted person, Gavin will really worry about whether he will accept it.

Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all. His Royal Highness is smart enough and should be able to recognize the value of the City of Earth. He will actively persuade the four dukes to support the development and construction of this mountain city.

Sure enough.

Prince Hared said repeatedly: "I will regard the construction of the City of Earth as a top priority. After the establishment of the ruling council, it will be the first proposal."

"That's good, you continue." Gavin retreated behind Zalanda again, ready to enter the state of cold-eyed observation again.

"Wait..." Prince Hared took the opportunity to ask, "I plan to invite the Archdruid of Moss Stone City and Lord Raymond of Retaven to join the ruling council. What do you think?"

After a brief contact, he keenly perceived a fact.

This road demigod is the real core of this force, and the Lord of Zalanda is just an agent who is pushed to the stage.

If you want to really accomplish something, you still need to get his tacit consent and approval.

"You should not consult me ​​about this matter, but ask them and the six-member council of the Kingdom of Amn for their opinions!" Gavin's attitude this time is completely opposite to that of the City of Earth.

Because there is no benefit to be gained.

Whether it is Moss Stone City or Retaven, they are both mature cities, and they are also located on the main trade routes. Joining the ruling council requires paying taxes to the royal family.

Gavin did not say it firmly, everything ultimately depends on interests.

If the status quo is more beneficial, there is naturally no need to join it.

The ruling council does not play a democratic vote. If you get more votes, you can pass it, and if you get fewer votes, you can veto it.

In the end, it depends on the strength of both parties.

Just relying on Zalanda and Kaylissa to complete the checks and balances on the four dukes, and vice versa.

"Hehe..."

The crisp laughter of a baby interrupted what Prince Hared was about to say. Everyone looked over and saw an incredible scene.

A pink, chubby baby girl was crawling on the ceiling like a spider.

"There is a peeper." The barrel knight who had been guarding Prince Hared was the first to react and slapped his shield armor heavily.

The roaring face made of various gems seemed to come alive, and it roared, and a wave of air that seemed to be real flew towards the baby girl.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a haunted scene.

In their eyes, it is commonplace. They have witnessed more terrifying and weird situations than this.

"Stop!" Gavin and Zalanda shouted at the same time.

Especially Gavin, his actions were much faster than his voice.

His figure flashed, and he blocked the air wave with his back. His battle armor was on his body, and his body size doubled.

Boom!

The roaring air blast hit Gavin uncontrollably and flew forward.

He completely ignored it, his eyes focused on the baby girl on the roof.

He stretched out his arms and reached out to hug her, ready to protect her in his arms.

But just before the touch, the baby girl laughed again, her figure flashed, and the next second she appeared in another corner of the house.

"Damn!" Gavin couldn't help but cursed, and changed his moves, protecting his head with both hands and curling up as much as possible.

Boom! Crack!

The next moment, he hit the roof heavily. The terrifying force behind him pushed him like a cannonball, and he hit a big hole and flew out.

Zalanda, who was a little slow to react, also took off and flew towards the baby girl, opening his arms and calling, "Celiana, mommy, hug me!"

"Hold... hold me..." The baby girl stopped crawling around, her figure flashed again, and appeared directly in Zalanda's arms.

Seeing this scene, Prince Hared and the others were completely confused, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

Is this baby girl not some kind of evil spirit, but the daughter of the Lord of Zalanda?

This is a bit unbelievable, completely breaking their cognition.

Kaelissa gave a positive answer on the side: "Yes, she is one of the daughters of Lord Road Builder and Lord Zalanda.

The daughter of a demigod is indeed extraordinary. She has awakened her spell-like abilities only half a month after birth. She can not only perform spider walk, but also use flash and short-distance teleportation!"

The beautiful eyes of the Goliath Queen showed undisguised admiration. Lord Gavin is indeed extraordinary, and even his daughter is extraordinary.

Thinking about it carefully, it is normal.

Even a newly born baby dragon can hunt tigers and lions.

The two sides are not of the same species, and are not even in the same class.

Who wouldn't want to have such a child?

Kaelissa's body and mind are releasing signals of desire. It is the instinct of all creatures to reproduce stronger offspring.

"One of the daughters of Lord Road Builder and Lord Zalanda?" Prince Hared and Helena's eyes flickered, especially the former.

A strong sense of loss came to his heart involuntarily.

Although the contact time was not long, he had fully appreciated the charm of Zalanda. This was simply his perfect choice for the queen - whether from her governance philosophy or the power she now possessed.

If the two could get married, it would definitely be a match made in heaven. They would definitely be able to suppress the four dukes and firmly control the entire Kingdom of Tesser.

But this plan was strangled in the cradle before it was put into action.

Pursuing a demigod woman by himself would only bring disaster to himself and his kingdom.

And the appearance of the baby girl was too coincidental.

Could it be that this demigod of the road noticed his little thoughts and was declaring his sovereignty in this way?

Prince Hared could not help but think about it. The coincidence was indeed a bit too much.

The other party was a demigod. He should be extremely sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere and should not be unaware of it.

"It's bad, the third young lady is missing."

"Hurry up and report to the Lord of the City."

"Guards, quickly seal off the Lord of the City's Mansion."

There was a commotion outside. Apparently, the nannies had discovered that one of the little princesses they were looking after was missing.

"Attacked, attacked, attacked, the Lord of the City's Mansion was attacked, where are the guards?"

The situation where Gavin smashed the roof of the Council Hall was like poking a hornet's nest. The whole Lord of the City was boiling. There were heavy footsteps everywhere, accompanied by the friction of armor.

"Remove the alarm, it's just a misunderstanding, Celiana is here." Gavin's huge shadow appeared right above the Council Hall, telling the guards that he was guarding here.

As for the main body, it had flashed and flashed back to the Council Hall, appearing beside Zalanda.

Although he was directly blasted out by the roaring attack, Gavin was spotless at this moment and did not suffer any damage at all.

Although the attack of the Barrel Knight was good, Gavin was more evil now.

Just now, it seemed that he used his body to block, but in fact, he had three layers of shields on his body.

The outermost layer was a divine shield, the middle was a battle armor, and the inner layer had a powerful damage reduction that came with the body of a demigod.

The roar attack did not break the defense at all.

The Barrel Knight immediately bowed and apologized: "Sorry, I just changed your daughter into a monster..."

"It's okay." Gavin waved his hand and said, "This is also related to our poor care. We knew that they were a little different from ordinary babies, but we didn't give them the corresponding special care."

The situation just now was purely accidental. These little guys just showed more vitality than ordinary babies before, and they were much ahead in all aspects. For example, they would laugh on the first day, turn over on the second day, crawl on the third day, and babble on the fourth day.

I never thought that they would activate spell-like abilities, and they were so high-level.

Spider Walk and Flash are only second- and third-ring spells, while Short-distance Teleport is a fifth-ring spell.

"Thank you for your generosity, Sir Road Builder." Barrel Knight bowed again to express his gratitude, being extremely humble.

Because the attack just now was enough to test the opponent's background.

The opponent was a genuine demigod.

Although he was the weakest god, he stood at the top of the pyramid in the mortal world, looking down on all living beings, and was not an easy target to provoke.

"Let's stop here today." Gavin took the opportunity to issue an order to expel him, "The rest of the matter will be discussed in the formal parliament after you have completely established the ruling parliament."

"Then I won't bother you." Prince Hared said very tactfully, "I hope to see you again in the formal parliament and listen to your teachings."

"Let's talk about it later." Gavin did not make any promises.

He and Zalanda have a faith connection, so if she is involved, he doesn't need to waste time.

Unless she needs him to come out to calm the situation, like now.

Prince Hared is used to Gavin's attitude. All gods are like this. The other party is definitely reasonable, and humanity still has an absolute upper hand. If those gods have the upper hand, he is afraid that he will not even have the chance to see the other party.

After a few more greetings, Prince Hared and his party activated the teleportation spell and left here, preparing to implement the next step of their plan.

Although they did not get a promise from Gavin, it does not mean that they gave up the idea of ​​​​Ramos Stone City and Retawen City to join the game. This is not only to strengthen the power of the Kingdom of Tethyr, but also to divide the power of Zalanda.

They are also going to drag the elves of the Wildas Forest and the halflings and dwarves of the Samis Hills into the ruling council.

However, the beautiful diplomat Helena tried her best, but she was facing a wall everywhere.

In Retaven, she didn't meet Lord Raymond at all. It was said that he had taken a convoy of thousands of trucks to the capital of the Kingdom of Amn, Askatra, to do business, and his return date was uncertain.

In the Wildas Forest, she couldn't get in. She circled over the forest for a long time, but didn't see an elf, nor the legendary forest plain, let alone the crown of the forest.

In Moss Stone City, she met the archdruid Imelwen, but only got a neutral answer. As a city connecting the Kingdom of Tethyr and the Kingdom of Amn, if they showed too much political inclination, they would easily be targeted by the other party. Maintaining neutrality was the best way.

The most enthusiastic attitude belonged to the halflings and dwarves in the Samis Hills, who gave her the highest standard of reception, but when it came to the substantive issues, they were vague and didn't give a positive response at all.

After asking around, I learned that they also expected Zalanda to help build the Dasavi Highway, connecting the Wildas Forest, Samis Hills and the city of Dalauma, which would be the future of their territory.

At this moment, the beautiful diplomat finally realized that the stability of the alliance between Zalanda and these allies was far beyond their expectations.

Because what binds both parties is never a simple promise, but interests, absolute interests.

Unless they can give more than this interest, it is possible to alienate them, otherwise they will be in step with the Lord of Zalanda and share honor and disgrace.

It is a completely impossible task to compete with a territory protected by a road demigod in road construction.

After some discussion, they reached a consensus and conclusion that these territories can only be regarded as territories of influence radiation of the Lord of Zalanda.

When considering the power of Zalanda, they must also be counted.

No, not only here, but also the Colossus City and Blood Gorge City far away in the Giant Plains. Gavin built there, and it is difficult for external forces to penetrate there. It is like being in the fog of war. Prince Hared and his men have very limited knowledge of the war potential and products there.

They only know that Colossus City seems to have endless dwarf steel ingots, and Blood Gorge City has endless livestock to sell. The daily transaction amount exceeds 100,000 gold coins, which can cover the annual tax of some small villages and towns.

In short, the more they know about Zalanda, the heavier Prince Hared and his men feel, and the more they understand the four dukes.

In the confrontation with the opponent, they fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, not just because of their own incompetence, but because their opponents were too evil and too powerful.

Even if they join forces with the four dukes, they may not be able to completely suppress her.

If they want to revive the royal family of Tethyr, there is a long way to go.

These are all later stories. After sending Prince Hared and the others away, Gavin's mind was completely focused on his daughter.

Gavin took Celiana from Zalanda's arms, raised her high, and proudly said: "She is worthy of being my daughter. She has inherited some of my divine abilities..."

Any power can be traced, including heredity.

Celiana's teleportation ability naturally comes from his road divinity. Even the aura is exactly the same, so that it can be mistaken for the real thing, and he can't detect her teleportation.

"Hehe..." Celiana was amused and giggled, waving her chubby little hands in the air.

Although she has awakened extraordinary powers, in essence, she is still just a baby who has just turned half a month old, and many of her behaviors are instinctive.

For example, when she teleported into the council hall earlier, it was probably because she was attracted by Gavin's previous use of teleportation power and ran to find her parents.

Zalanda had already raised his legs and walked out, reminding: "I wonder if those two little guys have also awakened their powers."

"Let's go and take a look." Gavin treated his little daughter like a toy, letting her lie on his arm.

He was no longer as flustered as when he first came into contact with them. These little girls were much tougher than he thought.

The more he tormented them, the more they liked it.

The third girl, Celiana, also treated Gavin's hand as a toy, kicking her chubby little hands and feet back and forth, as if she was treading water, having a lot of fun.

"Thank the gods for blessing, the third lady is fine..."

"We failed to take good care of the third lady, please punish us, Lord Mayor!"

"It's just that we watched the third lady disappear from our sight..."

In the nursery, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

Gavin and Zalanda entered the room one after the other, and the maids knelt on the ground, many of them crying.

Losing your own little master is definitely a serious crime.

At the least, you will be fined and lose your job, and at the worst, your life will be in danger.

Looking at Celiana lying on Gavin's arm, many people were relieved, at least there was no irreversible consequence.

Zalanda waved his hands and said, "This matter is not your fault, all of you get up."

"The Lord of the City is merciful." All the maids praised in unison.

"Where are the eldest and second young ladies?" Zalanda asked. (End of this chapter)
