Chapter 58 Planning for the Future
Getting married is a big event for anyone.
With the busy work of Duke Dana and Howard and the deliberate assistance of the emperor, the wedding of Andrew and Han Yue went smoothly. During this period, the two also participated in the affairs of the wedding and found it very interesting. However, they were the parties involved after all, and they still had to listen to their elders in many matters.
On the wedding day, guests gathered. Almost all the nobles of the imperial capital came to congratulate. Those below the rank of earl could only attend the banquet outside the palace. It was not that Andrew was too arrogant, but there were too many people.
In addition to the royal family and nobles, the strong men from the Holy Land who watched the duel that day were also present. Among them, Bart and Augustine specially presented a valuable gift. At the beginning, they and Baird threatened Andrew together. Now, Baird was killed by Andrew with a single blow. The two were also worried, fearing that Andrew would pursue the matter again.
Andrew accepted the thank-you gift and laughed it off. To him, the two were no longer rivals. After killing the culprit Baird, his anger had subsided, and there was no need to kill again. Everyone was in the same Yulan Continent, and it was not easy to cultivate to the Holy Land.
What surprised Andrew the most was that he unexpectedly saw Baru at the wedding.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Andrew personally welcomed Baru to his house. Howard and others were also very happy to see him. It had been six years since they left the Cree tribe. In this prosperous imperial capital, the simple family often thought of their life on the grassland.
"Who was that barbarian just now? Why did the Duke come to greet him in person?" someone nearby was discussing.
"I don't know. But judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be an important person." Another person was a little angry. As a noble, he could not enter the mansion, let alone be welcomed by Andrew. A lowly barbarian actually received such treatment!
"You two, it seems that you still don't understand the Duke's experience." A smiling noble said, "The Duke was born in the frontier and lived in the grassland for three years. I think the man just now must be the Duke's friend in the grassland. The Duke has achieved success but still remembers his old friends. I really admire his character!"
"Yes, yes..." Everyone in the group rushed to agree, not caring whether Andrew could hear them or not, and they just kept flattering him.
The wedding lasted a whole day, and after the guests left, Howard and others left the space for Andrew and Hanyue.
"August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every festive occasion makes me miss my loved ones more..." Andrew suddenly became a little bored. He looked at the bright moon in the sky in the yard, his thoughts drifting far away.
In this world, every plane has the sun, moon and stars. However, the moon here does not wax or wane, but is round every day.
Hanyue walked over to him, hugged his arm and leaned against him.
"Andrew, today is our wedding, are you unhappy?" Han Yue asked worriedly.
Andrew turned back and kissed her forehead. "What are you thinking about? Being able to marry you is the blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes. How can I not be happy? It's just that I suddenly thought of something."
"What's the matter?" Han Yue became interested.
Andrew smiled and said, "You are always so curious about everything. However, these things are a bit of a spoiler, so let's not talk about them. Yue'er..."
Hanyue was very smart. She saw that he really didn't want to talk and didn't force him.
"what happened?"
Andrew looked at her rosy cheeks, and his heart was burning. Under the moonlight, Hanyue was so beautiful and moving. Wearing the white wedding dress, Hanyue seemed to have become a holy angel.
"Yue'er, let's go back to the house..." Andrew picked her up amid Han Yue's exclamation and whispered, "Every moment is worth a thousand gold, we can't waste this time!"
Han Yue also understood what was going to happen next, and looked into his eyes infatuatedly...
A night of tenderness, no need to elaborate...
After dinner, Andrew went to the palace.
"Hey, you just got married, Andrew, how come you have time to come to the palace?" The emperor saw him and teased him. Andrew had only been to the palace once before, when Adonis introduced him. After that, he never came again.
Andrew smiled embarrassedly. With his strength and status, there were not many people who could tease him, and the emperor was one of them. Although Andrew also admitted that the other party's behavior was deliberate, no one could deny that the emperor had great goodwill towards Andrew from the beginning and provided a lot of help. This was what an elder did.
Andrew was grateful to an elder who had shown him kindness.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to ask for something!"
The emperor was even happier. Over the past few years, he had come to understand Andrew's character. This boy was extremely talented and had a strong character. His biggest weakness was that he valued feelings, both towards his family and friends. Yesterday, the barbarian received treatment that even the Duke and the Saint Domain strongmen did not receive, which fully demonstrated this point.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it!" The emperor did not hesitate.
Andrew said: "It's not a big deal. According to the rules of the empire, a duke can establish a principality..."
The emperor nodded. Now, the entire Yulan Continent formally belongs to the Yulan Empire. With the Great Priest, the strongest man in the human race, in charge, no force dares to be an enemy of the Yulan Empire. However, this unification is only a formal unification. In fact, the Yulan Empire does not have the energy to manage the entire continent.
Due to the existence of the Monster Mountain Range, the Magnolia Empire's control over the eastern territories was not strong. Otherwise, there would not have been the birth of the Puang Empire, the Holy Alliance, and the Dark Alliance. However, the Magnolia Empire had extremely strong control over the west of the Monster Mountain Range. This situation was not broken until the appearance of the God of War.
In order to rule this vast area, the Yulan Empire implemented a feudal system. According to the noble hierarchy, those above the earl basically have territories, and some viscounts with family backgrounds also have territories, such as Viscount Frey, whose territory is near Baihe City. There are also some great nobles who are very important to the empire, such as dukes and princes, who can establish countries. Dukes can establish duchies, and princes can establish kingdoms.
The emperor was not worried that these countries would break away from the control of the empire. Not to mention the high priest, just the strong men in the holy realm, any one of them sent by the empire could easily destroy a principality.
This is the world of the strong, and the state is built on them. The state depends on the strong, not the strong on the state.
"You want to establish a principality?" The emperor said, "With your status and strength, it is enough to establish a principality. However, if you want a rich territory, it may be a bit difficult. Now, the core territories of the empire have been divided up."
Andrew knew that the emperor was telling the truth.
"Your Majesty, I have no special requirements for the territory. Why don't you give me the Territory of Chaos, and I will establish a kingdom there."
The Territory of Chaos? The emperor was confused. It was a barren land, close to the Dark Forest and the Sunset Mountains on the other side. It was threatened by monsters. The land was barren and the population was small. Although the area was vast, it had almost no potential for development.
"Andrew, let's put it this way. There are large tracts of territory in the east that have not yet been divided. Some places there are richer than those in the west. Why don't you establish a country there?"
Andrew was really touched. The emperor's words were sincere. The east was too far away for the empire to effectively control. The nobles there were very independent. In order to curb this phenomenon, the empire had secretly banned the enfeoffment of nobles in the east. Unexpectedly, the emperor made an exception for him...
"No need, Your Majesty. I will choose the Territory of Chaos. In fact, I am not very interested in founding a country. I chose it for cultivation. Moreover, I need to provide a better environment for my family..."
The emperor saw that he was not lying, so he agreed. Soon, the vast Territory of Chaos became Andrew's territory. When the news spread, it caused a lot of discussion among people.
Andrew did not lie, he chose the Territory of Chaos for cultivation. However, he had some other plans...
"It took thirteen years to build a holy land. My plan from the beginning is now going to be implemented!"
After leaving the palace, Andrew was full of confidence.
Others don't know the benefits of Chaos Territory, but Andrew knows it clearly. Chaos Territory is close to Dark Forest and even closer to Beirut, so Andrew will have more opportunities to show himself. In addition, Beirut's three children, Purple Rat King, often move around here. If Andrew can make friends with them, his plan will be successful.
Furthermore, the Territory of Chaos was where Beirut had practiced before. There was not only a magic crystal mine here, but also a small plane space opened up by Beirut himself. This was a holy place for practitioners, where the magic elements were very dense. In addition to the seven elements of earth, water, wind, fire, light, darkness, and thunder, there were also four supreme energies: destiny, life, destruction, and death...
How could Andrew, who knew this place, give it up?
In addition to these, Andrew has another guess.
"The Azure Dragon Ring was dropped after the Azure Dragon died. Beirut naturally looked down on this broken artifact. Later, somehow, the Azure Dragon Ring was obtained by Derin Cowart. Beirut collected the corpses of the four sacred beasts in the small plane space. It should not have been many years since this happened. The small plane space is in the Chaos Territory. Doesn't this mean that there is a high probability that the Azure Dragon Ring will be in the Chaos Territory at this time?"
