Chapter 512 Extra 15 Years Later
Gods are dead, but life must go on.
In fact, instead of thinking about the fall of the gods, the people of Idar are more concerned about the rise and fall of stocks on the Idar Royal Exchange and are more willing to care about how many new stores have opened on Troy Avenue.
Whether in times of stalemate or after the war subsided, the Idar people have always lived a good life under the protection of the Idar army.
The fall of the holy city of Bethlehem removed the biggest obstacle to the advancement of the new empire.
The reality of the fall of the gods and the powerful and invincible combat capability of the Idar army also enabled the empire, which had been entrenched in the eastern part of the continent, to take over the legacy left by the church at an astonishing speed.
If this were a game, then the Idar Empire, which swallowed up so much land, would undoubtedly suffer a penalty for over-expansion that would be difficult to ignore.
Of course, this is indeed the reality.
But at this moment, in this land, or in this world, the Idar people are no longer afraid of any enemies.
Not only do they have a powerful army and a united people, they also have a young emperor who leads them to victory.
…
Fifteen years later, Merlin DC.
The cool sea breeze whistled, and the waves seemed to be calling the surging waves in the distance, urging them to hit the embankment on the shore, splashing up flying waves.
Angel, who had just stepped out of the cabin, couldn't help but shrink his neck and quickly wrapped his new coat tightly around him.
The coat's lining is made of soft, conformable cashmere, a material prized throughout the empire from the province of Padilla.
But even so, facing the biting cold winter wind, it took him a long time before he felt a warmth from the inside out.
"Is this... the Merlin Special Zone..."
Ange blew his nose and muttered to himself.
As a young man of only sixteen, this was actually his first time leaving his hometown, the Province of Padilla.
Since the demise of the gods' regrets, the mutants that were wreaking havoc in various places in the Lost Land have completely lost the possibility of continuous birth, and gradually died out under the siege of Idar's army.
As one of the most important components of the Idar Empire, the Padilla Province located on the coast of the Lost Land has developed rapidly in the past few decades and has become a bridgehead for the Idar Empire to overlook the Lost Land.
Therefore, the popularization of education, the construction of medical and health services, and even the development of magical industrialization... these policies from the upper echelons of the empire have been well implemented in every corner of the Padililla Province.
It was precisely because of this that Ang was able to obtain the qualification to study at Idar Public University with his excellent grades and the titles of "Outstanding Student of Padilla Province" and "First Prize in Merlin Mathematical Competition".
That is the university with the longest history and the most profound heritage in the Idar Empire!
Just a few days after receiving the admission notice, Ang couldn't wait to say goodbye to his family and set foot on this land on the other side of the ocean.
The light emitted from the top of the lighthouse is particularly conspicuous in the evening sky, guiding the countless ships traveling to and from the port.
The area outside the Idar Royal Exchange was filled with people talking and joking, and the arguments and noise even drowned out the waves hitting the rocks.
The Elizabeth Tower was vaguely visible in the evening mist, and the Venetian Arsenal in the distance seemed to show off to the world the size and strength of the Idar naval fleet.
At a glance, there are lights from thousands of houses and the hustle and bustle of traffic.
After decades of development, not only the main coastal road outside the dock, but the entire Merlin Special District has taken on a completely different look.
Ang's family has always subscribed to the Idar Daily, and he often curls up in his bed before going to bed and fantasizes about the prosperity of Idar.
But newspapers, books and other people's descriptions are far less intuitive than being there in person.
Just the sight of the magic cars that were extremely rare in Padililla Province made Ang feel a little hesitant and nervous.
The Idar Empire already has more than just Benedict as a car brand.
During the past decade of peace, in addition to Benedict, an ultra-luxury brand exclusively for officials of the Idar Empire and the Stuart family, other car brands specifically targeting wealthy people and small businessmen have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
So, when Angel turned his gaze to the wide road that had just been renovated, he saw a row of magic cars slowly driving along the signs on the ground under the magic street lights.
As the largest and busiest port city in the empire, Merlin District is worthy of its status as the economic center of Idar.
Even though the night falls quietly in the evening, the whole city still shows endless vitality.
"I thought the road was wide enough when it was built, but I didn't expect it to be jammed all day long..."
The passers-by's casual complaints made Ang's nervous face quietly reveal a smile of relief.
Yes, how long has it been since the fall of the church? The Idar Empire has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
Magical lamps have entered thousands of households, and the water supply system that extends to every house is jaw-dropping. The changes brought about by these magical technologies have been integrated into the lives of the vast majority of Idar people.
Looking at the prosperity before his eyes, Angel suddenly recalled the words he had read in the Idar Daily - "The main contradiction currently facing the Idar Empire is the contradiction between the Idar people's growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate development."
Even though the development of Padilla Province is lagging behind now, these gaps will be made up soon! Thinking of this, Ange clenched his fists with confidence.
after all……
I am now living in the best era. The new empire has the youngest emperor and the most united leadership group, so... nothing is impossible!
Emperor Bruno Stuart of Idar and the Idar Council, headed by Chief Executive Ford, have never forgotten their goals and vows.
As an ambitious young man who has received a complete education, Ang is well aware of the amazing changes that have taken place on the land beneath his feet in just a few decades.
It was at this moment that Ange finally made up his mind. After completing his studies at Idar Public University, he would participate in the "Idar Citizen Volunteer Service Overseas Province" program to contribute to the development of Padilla Province and the entire Lost Land! "We all have a bright future!"
Ange took a deep breath, and under the flickering lights, he strode into the bustling crowd with his head held high.
…
Compared to the prosperous and bustling Merlin District, the city of Idar, located on the eastern foot of the Almis Mountains, is less impetuous and more solemn.
Railways and roads from all directions converge in this city, and merchants traveling to and from various provinces stop in this city.
Every day, countless travelers from all over the empire arrive in this land. They first marvel at the grandeur and majesty of this imperial capital, and then, full of expectations for the future, devote themselves to the construction of the empire.
The bright and clear moonlight spread over the vast land and also poured into the Idar Palace in the center of the city.
"Your Majesty, you can't bully me, an old man in his seventies, like this..."
Old Ford sat at the table with a helpless look on his face, staring at the young emperor who was busy feasting in front of him.
Since the end of the war, the Idar Council, headed by old Ford, has taken on most of the imperial affairs.
No matter who wanted to ask the Emperor's opinion, most people would get the same reply - go ask the State Council.
So Bruno was relieved, but the officials of the State Council were all very busy.
“Slurp…”
Bruno swallowed a piece of the still slightly warm crispy roast suckling pig with gusto, and said earnestly: "Ah, isn't this all because of my heavy trust in you! You know, among all the people around me, the one I trust the most is you!"
Old Ford raised his eyebrows, his face full of despair: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being frank, you have said this to at least dozens of people..."
Thinking back to those days, whenever he heard this compliment from Bruno, his heart would be filled with excitement as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
But he never expected that almost every Idar official who had met the Majesty in front of him was awarded the title of "the most trusted person", and its prevalence was comparable to the good guy card.
"The more capable you are, the more work you should do. You have the most experience and your ability to handle government affairs is obvious to all. Naturally, you should take on more tasks." Bruno personally handed the fish soup in front of him to Old Ford and said:
"The empire's territory is becoming more and more vast, and the population and grain are increasing. If I make all the decisions, mistakes are bound to occur. Some policies can only be truly implemented through the handling of the State Council and the supervision of the House of Representatives."
"Then you can't just do nothing!" Old Ford said with a wry smile.
"How can that be possible?"
Bruno shook his head righteously, pointed at the fish soup in Old Ford's hand and said, "I have been so busy these days. In order to show my concern for the people's livelihood, I even went to the river to fish today. The fish in front of you was caught with great difficulty!"
"..." Old Ford: "The State Council is so busy every day that it doesn't even have time to eat, but you have time to go fishing..."
“Of course it’s more than just fishing!”
Bruno waved his hand, feeling that the topic could not be continued.
Before his rebirth, he was a genuine 996 worker. He only wanted to enjoy a shameless aristocratic life in another world, but the threats from outside always made him work hard.
Now, seeing the fall of the Church of Light and the Idar Empire getting back on track, Bruno naturally couldn't lock himself in the study and work day and night.
So, his expression finally became serious, and he simply changed the subject: "Although I don't often deal with government affairs, the direction of the empire depends on me. Idar Public University submitted a brand new project yesterday, which is about portable magic communication tools."
"You mean... this project has the possibility of success?" Old Ford frowned as he flipped through the documents presented by his attendant.
"Whether it can succeed or not can only be known after trying, but I think this proposal has great potential!" With a vision that transcends the times, Bruno certainly understands the pros and cons of this idea.
His current attitude towards the imperial government can basically be described as "letting go, but not completely." At least, he will certainly not easily throw aside a decision like this that could affect the future of the empire.
after all……
The brighter the prospects of the Idar Empire, the more relaxed my children and grandchildren will be.
Bruno today is no longer the energetic young man who was urged to get married and have children by his subordinates all day long. Over the past few years, Rhea has given birth to a son and two daughters for him, which has multiplied the number of people in the Stuart family several times.
The moon is bright in the sky and the night is dark.
When Bruno and Old Ford finally decided on the wonders that the Idar Empire would build in the third "Five-Year Plan"...
A short and fat figure suddenly rushed into the hall, shouting.
Looking closely, it was obviously a human cub riding on a young animal.
As if it had noticed Bruno's gaze, the little griffin being ridden by the human cub tilted its head, blinked its slightly innocent eyes, and finally realized that it had come to the wrong place.
Seeing this, the human cub riding on the griffin followed suit, tilted his head, blinked, and shouted weakly to Bruno:
"Daddy——"

PS:
The new book is expected to be released after the postgraduate entrance examination (if everything goes well).
I have also sorted out and summarized the problems encountered in the writing process of this book, and I hope to tell you a more attractive story in the next book.
The subject matter of the new book will most likely be fantasy, or it may be fictional history, and there is a small chance that it will continue Western fantasy.
But no matter what the subject matter is, the core thread of the new book will still revolve around farming and development. If you have any ideas, please leave a message.
In short, carry out the farming cause to the end!
