Waved back the maid who was in charge of changing clothes, Todd took the robe himself and began to put it on.

Huggins frowned as he watched the king's actions, opened his mouth, and said nothing in the end.

"Holy Acropolis is here for help? What happened?"

Huggins shook his head: "I don't know, they will talk about the details after they say they want to see you."

"The envoy of the Holy Acropolis, where do you live now?" Todd tugged at the cuffs of his clothes, feeling that the tailoring was a bit too tight.

Huggins listened to the loud voices outside the door, and said to Todd: "Today is not a good time to meet them. Listen, I am afraid that half of the residents of the city are gathered outside... As for the Holy Acropolis. A group of people, they rented a few peasant huts on the outskirts of Dongcheng..."

Hearing what Huggins said, Todd raised his head in amazement: "East City Suburbs? Peasant huts? Didn't you arrange a place for the envoy?"

"The mission of the Holy Acropolis is the first mission received by the Kingdom of Musi. How could we be negligent." Huggins seemed to think of something, and said with a wry smile: "Those people were arranged at Musi Cathedral. Church of the believers in here."

"Then why did they go to the immigration area?"

"The people in the Holy Acropolis just borrowed the residence, but refused our food. For the first two days, they still ate at their own expense in the city. Later they changed to buy vegetables and cook by themselves. In the end, they simply moved out of the city. Lived in a shack outside the city."

Todd has a strange look on his face.

Seeing his expression, Hudgens didn't simply play mystery, but directly said: "Holy Acropolis advocates military power and despise agriculture, industry and commerce. The subjects there are not as rich as our country."

"This time, their envoys miscalculated the prices of Twilight City, which caused a rapid shortage of funds. As a last resort, they had to live in immigration areas with relatively low prices."

Todd's eyes were straight when he heard it. He did not expect that a country's envoy actually moved to the suburbs to save money.

Thinking of this, Todd suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran to the changing room of the large bath, and from the old clothes he had changed, he found out the "tyrant" that Leviathan had given him.

Seeing the amber-like spherical object, Huggins looked at it for a long time, but didn't see what it was, so he asked, "Your Majesty, is this?"

Todd put the "tyrant" in his pocket carefully, and whispered, "This is a treasure that can change the entire world..."

The freshly cleaned and renewed King Musi, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the bath, it became the focus of everyone's point of view.

The people stood on both sides of the far street, cheering loudly in the direction where Todd appeared.

The soldiers lined up in a line and acted as a human wall to maintain the order of the scene for the king.

Officials gathered near the gate, watching carefully the king who hadn't appeared in public for half a year.

Todd looked at the people around him, including Cumberland, Emerson, Terrence, Joe, Raglan, Mary, who he knew well, and many faces he was quite strange to.

Cumberland stared at Todd with a bad look. In the words he said, he seemed to suppress his emotions: "Your Majesty, since your bath is over, it is time for everyone to sit down and hold a meeting. You can just share it. What's seen and heard during this time!"

After speaking, Cumberland came to Todd's side involuntarily, half-pushing and half-pulling the latter into the carriage, and the crowd slowly walked out along the avenue.

The Kingdom Council is no longer placed in the headquarters of the Knights, but instead held in the half-built palace.

Looking at the conference hall in front of him that was wide enough to be used as a basketball game, Todd sitting on the throne, sincerely admired: "It's really a magnificent project!"

Huggins squatted down and said in the ear of the king: "The construction of this castle condenses the power of the entire Muxi Kingdom. From design to planning, from greening to painting, every brick and tile here is for all residents. The result of voluntary labor."

Todd nodded vigorously.

The people gathered in the hall are all core members of the kingdom. Cumberland first said, he bluntly said: "Your Majesty, let us save the process of exchanging each other. These people here have a common doubt in their hearts. In the past six months, what did you do when you left the entire kingdom behind?!"

Todd scratched his head. He knew that he would definitely answer this question when he came back this time, but he also knew that no matter how he answered, it was not a satisfactory answer.

He turned his face to Emerson: "Do you remember that we discussed a topic-the limit of kingdom expansion?"

Seeing Emerson sinking into contemplation, Todd said to everyone: "When the kingdom's territory is expanded to a certain limit, if it wants to continue to expand, it will inevitably increase the administrative cost greatly, leading to the lack of information between the central and local governments. symmetry."

"Under the current environment, there are also solutions, one is to move the capital, change the administrative coverage circle, the other is to change the way of information communication, improve the efficiency of communication between the superior and the subordinate, and the last way is to establish a puppet regime."

Todd then focused on the relationship between the Ulster Kingdom, the Connaught Kingdom, and the southern tribes, and briefly talked about some major events recently born in the North.

After hearing Todd's words, Cumberland pondered for a moment, and then said: "In other words, your Majesty, during this time, you have cultivated a puppet regime among the southern tribes in the barbarian territory?"

Emerson took the words of the old knight and continued: "And this regime controls a considerable number of gladiators, and has a strong appeal among the barbarian tribes?"

Cumberland thought about it, but still asked uncertainly: "Is the leader of this puppet regime reliable? Can he really surrender to the Kingdom of Muxi? Will not be out of control?"

Todd nodded without hesitation.

The leader of the other puppet regime is Todd himself. He really can't say such things, otherwise he would have to explain why he should use other people's identity.

Cumberland rubbed his chin with the palm of his hand: "If your Majesty is so confident in controlling the puppet regime, then this power is definitely good news for the kingdom."

Emerson went on to say: "I agree with ~lightnovelpub.net~ With this force as a buffer zone, we can attack the northern barbarians, have a certain ability to prevent them, and when necessary, we can fight against the barbarians. The banner holds the attention of the church. The kingdom should try its best to ensure the safety and development of this power."

Seeing Todd's triumphant appearance, Cumberland squeezed his temples with a headache: "Your Majesty, the things that haven't been returned for half a year, come to an end. Right now, the North Island Civil War and the Holy Acropolis Mission are the most important at the moment. The former affects the kingdom’s maritime trade routes and economic security, while the latter decides whether Twilight City will have an additional ally or a new enemy."

Cumberland turned his gaze to Todd and asked, "Your Majesty, which problem do you want to solve first?"

Todd made a fist with his right hand, supported his chin, thought for a long time, and said: "Notify the envoys of the Holy Acropolis, the next night. I will entertain them in the palace."
