Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

The king generously gifted him a set of amazing battle robes! The quality of this robe is excellent, and its craftsmanship is even more ingenious. It is carefully shaped and refined from a whole piece of monster sea shark skin. This unique material gives it extraordinary toughness and durability.

It is worth mentioning that this set of combat robes has a physical resistance of up to 30%, which undoubtedly makes it indestructible on the battlefield. Such excellent protection ability is due to the strong support brought by the extremely strong material.

Looking at the six-piece set of this battle robe, each piece contains magical power. The most eye-catching one is the built-in wind shield, which is like an invisible protective barrier, which can effectively improve the stability of the user when staying in the air and gliding; in addition, there is also a wonderful spell called "Wind Magic", which allows the wearer to move as fast as the wind, greatly improving the speed of action...

Not only that, the matching sleeveless wild combat cape is also not to be underestimated. This cape is equipped with a variety of auxiliary formations, which is almost equivalent to a "second staff"! What's more surprising is that this cape also has energy storage function and powerful tornado skills. As long as there is sufficient energy supply, it can instantly release up to three powerful tornadoes, engulfing the enemy in the wind and showing unparalleled destructive power. Such a combination of equipment will undoubtedly greatly enhance the user's strength and advantage in battle.

"Thank you, Prince. This set of magic equipment is indeed a rare one. Thank you! I think I can wear it for the rest of my life."

"Of course. This is the ultimate protective suit. My father asked me to give it to you. I hope you can accomplish more merits with it! I also have high hopes for you..."

We came to another warehouse, which was full of royal collections of magic wands. It seemed that the king had spent a lot of money on it, and any one of them was priceless.

"Ms. Blainey, please!".

"Your Highness: This seems extremely expensive. Do you really want me to choose?"

"Haha! Miss, your suggestion can resolve the crisis of Shadowmoon City. No reward is too great. Take it! Even if you die one day, the empire will still take it back! After activation, no one else can use it except you. After you die, the empire will send people to your family to take it back."

"What if I'm not in the country or die on the battlefield, and the staff is taken away by the enemy?"

The prince’s face darkened instantly: “Then they will not be able to play a role again. Perhaps they can only regain their former strength after being found by the palace again... Grandpa Huang Taizu is a master of staff design. He collected magic materials with the whole country’s strength and made thousands of legendary staffs. He made great contributions in the founding war. Now more than half of them are lost, and there are fewer and fewer legendary staffs. Alas! Everything that rises must fall. The empire now faces internal and external troubles..."

"Your Highness, please change it to an ordinary one. This one is too precious. What if it is lost? I can't bear to take it into battle..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "I will be the new king in the future, but I am old. My father was king for fifty-one years. After he passes away, I will not be king for many days. My child will succeed to the throne. I hope Britney can assist the new king. This scepter is a symbol of friendship with you. You are welcome."

"Your Highness, why are you so pessimistic? Has he been the crown prince for too long and lacked the passion he once had?"

"Hahaha, this is outrageous, you know? I am too mediocre. The empire has always been supported by my father. He is willing to give up the throne at any time, but I know I am not up to the task, so I tell you the truth. Now I have a hidden illness, but I won't tell you. I hope to die soon. Then my son is more capable than me, let him succeed to the throne smoothly. This is the only thing I, the prince, can do for the empire. So I hope the girl can be loyal to my son..."

Looking at the prince's honest character, he is like a kind father. Although talent and qualifications cannot be forced, his heart of considering the overall situation is very sincere.

"Your Highness, I'll take the staff. When the new king ascends the throne, I will be his loyal guard..."

"Okay, I hope you'll keep your promise. The Southern Xinjiang trade route you lead is good, and you're building it regardless of cost. If all the princes do this, there's no need to worry about the empire not prospering. The royal family wants to do many things, but it just can't. There's no one to use, no money to donate, and it's getting harder and harder to collect taxes. The empire is stretched to its limits, so it seems the empire is getting old, just like a body that's out of control, and it's becoming more and more difficult to govern. You're a good young man who's willing to do practical things, so this prince has high hopes for you and hopes you'll assist the new monarch in the future..."

The prince knew Blaney's little trick, which was nothing more than tax evasion, especially commercial tax, which the royal family could not collect at all...

However, the benefit of this southern Xinjiang trade route is that it will attract people to gradually migrate to southern Xinjiang and settle down there. By then, the empire can issue a series of preferential policies. In time, after a hundred years of vicissitudes, the southern Xinjiang area will surely have dense villages, crisscrossed roads and water conservancy projects, and gradually develop into a human settlement area. In this way, the defense of southern Xinjiang will also become easier.

If there were people engaged in farming and production activities, the cost of maintaining troops would inevitably be reduced, and the combat effectiveness would be significantly improved. Because of this, Blaney's tax evasion inadvertently implicated national defense.

"It turns out that Your Highness knows everything. I feel deeply guilty! If so, why didn't the court build this trade road?"

The prince could not help but sigh: "Let's not talk about the huge amount of money required for now. Once it starts to make a profit, the royal family will probably be slandered and accused of competing with the people for interests. The fiefs coveted by those princes will inevitably include where the trade routes are. Haha! After all, the law allows individuals to have a certain degree of autonomy in choosing fiefs. The royal family cannot appear to be too stingy, so even if it invests huge sums of money to build trade routes, it will be difficult to recover the cost in the end. Instead, it will be divided and eaten up by them. The royal family is often constrained by these princes when doing things. Just because the monarch is not convenient to haggle with them, it is sometimes inevitable to fall into an extremely passive situation..."

The Crown Prince confessed that although he had insight into worldly affairs, he was not courageous enough and lacked the will to kill, so he could not govern the country. Therefore, he did not want to be the king, and wanted to pass the throne to his son Haiwuqi to start a new situation...

Blaney's investment in business is a private act of the nobles, and other nobles cannot say anything. Even if they are jealous, they dare not break the rules. If the rules are broken, they will be in trouble one day.

The nobles either oppressed the royal family from above or oppressed the common people from below. They were very united within the same class and used various means such as marriage and cooperation to consolidate their strength.

If the nobles fight among themselves, the royal family and the common people will deal with them. Moreover, the noble group is a small group of people, so how can they have a good ending?

However, this move is in line with national policy, so once the trade route is opened, preferential immigration policies will be issued, and this trade route will never lose money.

Therefore, the royal family condoned Blaney's tax evasion by using his identity as a military supplier. The tax evader did something that the royal family had always wanted to do. This is the point.

In other words, the royal family was fully aware of the princes' evil intentions and had seen all their tricks. If they really wanted to discipline them, they would not be able to escape.
