"Teacher Charles, maybe I'm too stupid and only saw the surface. If I were Cameron, I would choose the third option! Even if it means death, I should not let myself and my family be humiliated." After thinking about it, Xiuya tried to use more appropriate words.
“Hehe…! Young Master, you are different from us. Your growth is a long process so you don’t have to be so anxious.”
"Each choice will lead to an unknown future, but there is one thing I think you should remember well, young master."
"Teacher Charles, please give me some guidance!" Xiu Ya asked respectfully.
"Young Master, a person or a family only has a chance if they survive. Even if some people applaud you for being angry, it is a very foolish choice."
"When people are alive, there is endless hope. Dead people cannot see this opportunity. So Cameron chose the second option not just because he wanted to stay alive."
"What's more, we want to protect the Stephens family. Sometimes it takes more courage to survive than to die heroically." Charles said seriously.
"Teacher Charles, why do you say that it takes more courage to survive than to die?"
"You need to slowly understand these questions, young master, but with your wisdom you will soon have the answers!" Charles walked to the Magic Butterfly car, looked behind him, and walked into the car with a smile.
Destruction is always easier than construction, and cities destroyed by war in various places began to be rebuilt.
On the tenth day after Charles returned to Maple Leaf Territory, Cameron issued orders in his capacity as Emperor Kurma.
He first listed his own deeds. He felt that he was not capable enough to govern the huge empire, so he passed the position of emperor to his favorite Xuya Xingchen.
Under Charles's instruction, Xuya refused three times before finally accepting the golden staff representing the imperial authority.
As Xiuya took over the golden staff, the Maple Leaf Leader also cheered.
Preparations for Xuya's accession to the throne began in full swing, but before the ceremony, everyone got into an argument over the choice of the imperial capital.
After some consideration, Anna came up with a feasible solution: the new empire would have two capitals.
The original imperial capital, Stephens City, still retains its functions as an imperial capital, but Maple Leaf Territory will also serve as the second imperial capital to share some of Stephens City's functions.
Xuya's coronation ceremony will be held in the Stephens Imperial City, although he will perform it again in the Duke's Castle of Maple Leaf Territory.
The ceremony in Stephens City was not fancy, but it was solemn.
Various local forces sent important figures to watch the ceremony, and Sophia also brought Lin Xingchen's four disciples to set foot in the main world for the first time.
Xuya accepted the coronation held by Cameron with a serious face, and then publicly announced that the Stephens family was the first-class duke of the new empire.
The fiefdom is also a very nice place, where the ancestors of the Stephens family are buried.
The rewarding part that followed was the moment everyone had been looking forward to for a long time. As a servant of the Star Clan, Barry took over the job of reading out the merit book.
Although Barry's hair was gray now, he was still in good health. He read out each name with full energy.
The person whose name he calls out will surely stand up excitedly and welcome the enthronement ceremony that Xuya will hold for him with the most respectful etiquette.
The first person to be canonized was Charles. The moment he heard Barry read out his name, the fat guy was so excited that he almost died on the spot.
Charles led his children and grandchildren to kneel on one knee in front of Xuya, and waited for Barry to finish reading out the series of merits before finally being canonized.
The honor of a third-class duke inheriting the title of first-class marquis is the greatest courtesy for this human trafficker, and it is also what this human trafficker has longed for all his life.
The second is Albert, the slave who led the Maple Leaf Army in battles across the country. He was dressed in a neat military uniform, although the white hair on his temples made him look a little old.
However, his abilities and character won the respect of everyone in Maple Leaf Territory, and the rewards of Honorary Second-Class Duke and Hereditary First-Class Marquis were the greatest recognition of his abilities.
Next is Anasta, a woman who suffered a lot in her youth but her fate changed dramatically after she met Lin Xingchen.
She accepted the title with her daughter Alice. The title of third-class duke and hereditary first-class marquis was the best reward for her silent contribution to the internal operations of Maple Leaf Territory.
Because Anasta has only one daughter, Alice, she will be the only heir.
The fourth person to be canonized was Roy, the woman who followed Evelyn to Maple Leaf Territory and made sacrifices for it. She was also rewarded with a hereditary earldom.
The fifth person to be independently canonized was Danny from the grassland. He was the one who received the highest reward among all the people canonized this time.
The honorary first-class duke was promoted to hereditary third-class duke, and the entire Kelete grassland became his fiefdom.
After that, some people who had made contributions to Maple Leaf Territory and members of the Fantastic Adventure Group, captain of Lin Xingchen, were also rewarded as hereditary earls.
Although some titles are not high, it is easy for them to get opportunities to be promoted to higher positions. The reason why they are not given such high titles all at once is to deal with the embarrassing situation of having no more titles to be given in the future.
After much discussion, the new empire was named after the maple leaf and was officially known as the Maple Leaf Empire.
With the establishment of the Maple Leaf Empire, officials originally belonging to Kurma also joined in, and construction suddenly became everyone's mainstream.
After watching Xuya's coronation ceremony, Sophia, Blake and others had a heart-to-heart talk with Anna and others for the first time.
Sophia and Jia returned to the demon world with smiles on their faces, and the content was naturally in line with their expectations.
Lin Xingchen knew nothing about these questions because he had been brought into a mysterious place of cultivation by the world consciousness.
This story begins after the extraterritorial demon minotaur was killed, and Kahn was forced to sacrifice the minotaur's consciousness to the world consciousness.
The world spirit that was trapped in self-evolution soon found Lin Xingchen who was practicing, because it saw many surprising and terrifying things in the consciousness of the extraterritorial demon.
It learned a lot from his spiritual consciousness, some of which were like a drunkard seeing fine wine.
But now, because he was deeply trapped in evolution, he could not communicate with Lin Xingchen for a long time. After a brief exchange, the world consciousness brought Lin Xingchen to the core of the world.
