Terence added, "Yes, I agree! If in the end it turns out that the exam-based selection of officials is not a viable method, are we going to dismiss all the people who are hired?! That would cause a huge mess!"
After arguing with the two elderly people for a long time, Todd ultimately failed to persuade them.
Just as Todd was losing interest, a servant brought him a letter.
Upon opening it, I saw that the handwriting was elegant and the signature was Ritchie.
The letter contained only a short paragraph.
"Your Majesty, when you see this letter, please call upon my soul."
Thinking back to that day, after completing the 'soul link' with Rachel, the other party said goodbye and left the room, and hasn't appeared in the past few days.
Todd didn't know what Rachel wanted to do, but he still entered the soul space and began calling for the latter to enter.
Soon, Rachel appeared in the research institute.
She first looked at her hands and feet, then muttered to herself, "Looks like there's no problem."
Todd was somewhat confused.
Rachel turned on the computer and zoomed in on the map of the "Shadow Kingdom" from her memory onto the screen.
“If you want to enter the ‘Land of Shadows,’ going east and then north is indeed a difficult and dangerous journey.” Rachel pointed to the red cross on the screen: “Not only is the journey long, but you may also encounter barbarians and churches along the way.”
Todd knew she had something to say next, so he remained silent.
Rachel pointed to the west of Twilight City: "But I've thought of a new route these past few days."
"A new route?"
Rachel clearly uttered a single word: "The sea."
Todd was taken aback.
“From Twilight City westward, we’ll cross the Rapids Strait, then head north across the Sea of Mist, then east across the Ice Plains, and finally south into the waters of the ‘Shadow Kingdom.’” Rachel’s eyes were firm as she said in a deep voice, “If we had a fast ship, we could reach our destination in just one month, and we could perfectly avoid enemy forces.”
Todd frowned as he looked at the flight path map on the screen: "Leaving aside the dangers of the journey for now, what will happen to the Kingdom of Muxi while I'm gone? The kingdom's political structure is still incomplete, and the king's prolonged absence will plunge this city, which we've worked so hard to build, into chaos and disorder!"
Rachel's face broke into the 'fox smile' that Todd hadn't seen in a long time: "Your Majesty, guess where I am right now?"
Seeing the other person's puzzled expression, Rachel revealed the answer: "Silver Ring City, I've been traveling on horseback these past few days. It turns out that no matter how far the distance, you can summon the person you want to enter your 'heaven'."
Todd's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "You mean..."
"That's right. You can meet, talk, and make decisions with kingdom officials at any time while traveling. Simply put, you can manage your kingdom remotely!"
