Chapter 257: I am the King of Lions (Please subscribe)
In fact, Luo Yi was trying to scare these two natural disasters, mainly because some of the things he was going to do later would always affect the interests of some diehards.
He needs these two to stand on his side!
Luo Yi built this mage tower for Lilia, so of course he was willing to spend money and use connections.
The connections of the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, led him directly to a heavyweight in the mage world, who acted as a go-between and finally bought the finished product from a fourth-level mage.
What is the finished product?
This fourth-level mage had been waiting for a long time and had already prepared enough building materials. The only thing left was the final step of construction.
Loy bought all of these, shipped them over by sea, and assembled them in Lion Manor.
Previously, the ships that the Emden was escorting were all the materials for this wizard tower.
Even if it were revealed, no one would find fault with the value of a wizard tower and the deployment of ironclad ships for protection.
This matter was handled absolutely flawlessly!
Of course, building materials alone are not enough, and an entire construction team also comes along.
The leader was a fourth-order natural disaster, responsible for the placement of the element pool and the debugging of the magic circle.
The deputies are three extraordinary wizards, who are responsible for infrastructure, magic patterns and space expansion respectively.
Behind them, there is a team of three to ten mages, and the lowest level is second-level magician.
In other words, this group of mages has a total of twenty-five people, which can be considered quite impressive.
It is also this powerful lineup that ensures that this mage tower can be built within half a month, and its efficiency is beyond imagination.
Of course, having said that, this is also related to the Habsburg Empire's adoption of the concept of 'modular manufacturing'.
All those building materials have been processed, and the magic patterns engraved on every rock, every beam and pillar are all regular.
In this way, the actual construction process is similar to building blocks!
But even so, it is already the most advanced model. Other empires, even if they want to do so, do not have the ability!
Of course, you must not think that Luo Yi is bullying the weak and robbing people by force. Even the fourth-level mage who lost the mage tower happily accepted it.
There's no way around it, because every step of Roy's life has been led by Jintil!
What he did perfectly illustrates that the problem that money can't solve is not spending enough money!
Roy's generosity and wealth were not only known to the people of Auckland, but were also rumored in the magic world of the Habsburg Empire.
Of course, compared with his reputation for spending money, there is also his way of making money that almost turns everything into gold.
…
Because there was no routine notice when Luo Yi returned, naturally no one came to pick him up, but he didn't care.
After getting ashore, he found a carriage and headed to Lion Manor.
According to him, when he arrived at the manor, he naturally wanted to see Lilia first.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. Now it’s almost evening, we have to be intimate with each other. We can talk about everything tomorrow!
But in the end, he came back empty-handed because Lilia was still in the magic factory outside the city and had not returned yet.
The Mechanical Mage Tower has not been built yet, so she can only go to the magic factory outside the city to conduct her own experiments.
Therefore, Roy only met Butler Hoover, Intelligence Chief Ange, and Magic Machinery Chief Lord Shik Cruz.
However, Luo Yi didn't have to wait long before knights gathered in an endless stream.
For example, Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke, Vincent Ackerman, and even Knight Alan Wells, etc...
The number of people is increasing!
Almost all of them were nobles from Brussels and the Lion Knights who had retreated from the Frost Moon Canyon battlefield.
While Loy was looking for trouble with the Pirate King in the west, they were not idle either and had already withdrawn their troops back to Brussels.
In fact, most of them were staying in the military camp outside the city, and they came here spontaneously after hearing the news of Luo Yi's return.
By this point, everyone had already known that the pirate king Davis had been beheaded and the magic warship had become a trophy.
Then, the news spread out like a whirlwind.
As it was getting dark, the scene of cheering in unison as in the Siren Port did not appear, but it was inevitable that the entire city of Brussels would be plunged into a sea of carnival.
On the streets, in the shops, in the hotels, in the taverns...
Whether they were free citizens or merchants, knights or nobles, they all danced and sang.
Even bonfires were lit in several squares in the city, and people gathered around them, singing loudly.
They praise the greatness, strength, bravery, fearlessness and invincibility of the Lion King!
They long for the protection of the Lion King, praying that under the king's protection, they can live in peace and happiness until they die!
It should be said that they did not live a very comfortable life during this year.
Although the Raymond family belonged to the old nobility, the pride of the entire family made them not like to exploit the people, but instead they took the path of external expansion.
Land income and taxes only accounted for a small part of their income. The bulk of it came from the opened sea routes, perfume trade, etc.
Therefore, the people who receive flowers actually have a certain sense of happiness.
Count Carl Raymond is powerful externally, and none of the four marquises care about him. But internally, the people give him the nickname "The Benevolent Lion"!
However, ever since that incident, the Lion family suffered heavy losses and they have not had a single day of peace.
Even when a new earl took over, there was a constant stream of bad news.
It can be said that they all lived in fear, fearing that one day an army would attack Brussels and burn, kill and loot!
Until today, they heard the news that the new Lion King had won again.
The new earl, who was said to be just an illegitimate child and not even twenty years old, defeated the powerful Carlisle family and killed the rampant pirate king.
Until this moment, they finally knew that peaceful days had returned and they no longer had to fear those evil villains who were eyeing them covetously.
Because their lion king is already extremely powerful!
The gathering of knights and nobles made the Lion Manor seem a bit noisy, while the revelry of the subjects made the whole city of Brussels boil.
But Butler Hoover still showed the qualities that a butler of a noble family should have.
He first mobilized all the city guards in the city and sent them to various places to maintain basic public order.
When there are too many people, all kinds of accidents will occur, such as trampling, squeezing, fire, robbery, theft, smashing, etc.
These are all things to be prevented!
Of course, the city guards alone are not enough, so Butler Hoover specifically asked Ang to take action.
Nowadays, Ang has already unified the underground gangs in the entire city of Brussels. With his order, no one dares to cause trouble at night.
Or maybe, those who cause trouble will not see the sun tomorrow.
After finishing all this, he quickly mobilized manpower, prepared food, arranged maids, set up the venue, and found a band...
Although it was not perfect due to the tight schedule, an impromptu celebration banquet was still held for him.
In the Lion Manor, a huge bonfire was also lit in the open space, with cheerful music playing, and people could sing and dance to their heart's content.
The long tables around are filled with food. If you want to eat, just take it yourself.
At this moment, the nobles and knights no longer cared about decency or hierarchy.
They gathered in groups of three or five, chatting, bragging, arm wrestling, or taking off their shirts and wrestling directly on the open ground.
The winner will naturally receive cheers from everyone; the loser will not feel embarrassed.
At such moments, it seems that even the original barriers have disappeared.
Everyone recognizes that they are vassals and knights under the throne of the Lion King, and they are proud of it!
This atmosphere reached its peak only after Roy appeared on the scene.
Luo Yi walked in from the main gate and passed through the entire venue. Wherever he passed, people parted like waves, knelt on one knee, and lowered their proud heads.
No matter who they were, no matter how they had once viewed Loy, the illegitimate Earl, at this moment, they showed the utmost respect and loyalty.
If the previous allegiance ceremony was more formal than practical, then now it is true submission!
At this moment, Luo Yi walked in front of the crowd, turned around, and swept his eyes across, looking directly at everyone.
At this moment, [Lion King] was opened, [God's Sigh·Heartbeat of Giant Beast] was activated, and in the end these powers were used in [God's Sigh, Dragon's Might Blooms].
He just raised his hand and grasped the air!
The seemingly frail body let out an earth-shaking roar, as if announcing to this continent and this sky.
"I am the king of lions!"
At this moment, the heartbeat like a drum shook everyone's nerves, and the spreading air ripples made Loyi's figure distorted.
Everyone looked up, and it seemed that what they saw was no longer a person, but a terrifying giant beast with its eyes open, making its own voice.
It felt like the great Lion God had descended upon the earth!
At this moment, no one could describe the shock of the vassal states and knights. They raised their hands almost without hesitation, waved their right arms, and grasped the air.
"King of Lions!"
"King of Lions! King of Lions! King of Lions!"
In the corner,
The Iron Knight Phil and the Flame Sword Saint Otto got together.
Watching everyone cheering, Flame Sword Saint Otto couldn't help but say, "Our Patriarch is actually even better at stirring up the atmosphere than that old guy Karl. It's really, really..."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head to look without waiting for Iron Knight Phil's response.
Then he saw that Iron Knight Phil had not lowered his arm yet.
Iron Knight Phil seemed a little embarrassed and explained, "You know, I'm a knight by profession. It's normal for me to be unable to hold back in such a passionate scene!"
"Besides, don't you think?"
"What?"
"Our Lord Earl is so handsome!"
Not far away,
On the half-broken mage tower,
The Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, looked at the old wizard beside him and asked, "How is it?
Is this person still qualified to help the empire open up new opportunities abroad?"
The old wizard didn't say anything, but just narrowed his eyes slightly. After a long time, he slowly nodded.
In mid-air, the red dragon Virgil was also watching this scene. Although he still maintained his human form, his pupils had turned into golden dragon eyes.
The scene he saw was different, because, in his real eyes, it was the vast power of faith that was converging on Luo Yi.
"Little guy, you're really restless!"
As for Luo Yi, he did all this for a purpose, of course.
Deepening the respect of his vassals and knights for him was one thing, but more importantly, he had to use the power of these beliefs to take that step completely.
In Luo Yi's eyes, a line of text was constantly jumping on the attribute panel.
Until, [Lion King LV3 (99/100)]
I've revised it again and again, and it's a bit slow!
