After Becoming The Tyrant

"This way, please, Your Majesty."

Warden Metzl led the king respectfully.He was a young lad, and this was the first time he had seen Legrand's most distinguished figure, his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Metzl Prison is located in the capital, and the environment is much better than the Moen Tower where the Duke of Buckingham was once imprisoned.Although the air is a bit turbid, at least it is clean—of course, it must be due to temporary overtime work.

After the "talent" that the king wanted to see was found by the Gru family, they were escorted to the capital prison of Mezl Castle.

That's right, the capital prison.

Because these guys are more or less carrying so many crimes.They are all guys who deal with evil characters such as devils and witches in the eyes of ordinary people.Some of these people were accused of committing "corpse molesting", some were accused of worshiping witches, and some were accused of preparing poisonous potions...

After all, they were the ones who deserved to be burned at the stake.

"Get up! Slackers and bastards!"

The warden led the king all the way to the innermost cell. Along the way, the young man who wished to stand up like a ruler saw the situation in the old room, and his face immediately became gloomy.

He stepped forward quickly, yelling, trying to clean up the situation before the king saw it.

But the king had seen clearly what was going on in the cell.

There were seven people in total. They were gathered in a large prison cell. Some were lazily leaning against the wall, some were curled up and lying on the cold floor, and some were facing the wall in a contemplative look... It looked like There seems to be some problem with all the nerves.

"His Majesty."

The Chief of Internal Affairs reminded in a low voice.

"The offenses they are charged with include insanity, likely in exchange for nefarious forces."

The king himself, who sold his soul to the devil, made a single note, without comment.

"Open the door."

The steward resignedly carried out the king's capricious orders.

After General Sheen chose to be loyal to the king a few days ago, the negotiating mission returned to Mezl Castle smoothly.

The head of internal affairs was almost speechless the first time he saw the king. He knelt on the ground and his lips trembled for a long time, but no one could understand what he said.In the end, it was the king who had no expression on his face and asked him to go away to deal with the affairs accumulated in the palace during this period.

——My dear Mr. Steward, Mr. Duke has been handling trivial matters for you for too long. You know what you should do.

—Yes, Your Majesty.

The gratification of the Chief of Internal Affairs lasted only a few days before he was defeated by the king's various outlandish demands.

Lord!Your Majesty actually wants to come to such a dirty place in person.

The head of internal affairs felt a familiar, faint powerlessness.

The cell door opened, and the men in shackles stood up under the warden's whip.The king looked at them, and they looked at the notorious tyrant.They restrained their arrogance a little bit. Geniuses—or lunatics—always have certain intuitions about their own kind.

They could vaguely sense that the young king who had stepped into the prison carried a similarly dangerous aura.

The chief of internal affairs of the Kingdom extended his hand, and the chief of internal affairs handed over several files to him.

"I'm glad to see you here instead of at the stake." The king smiled and opened the files. "I think you must think that you must die, right?"

"Are you willing to let us live?"

A tall and thin middle-aged man in sackcloth spoke.

The king noticed that his fingers were thin and long.

"A person who feels that he is bound to die can be so calm? Gentlemen, with their talents and willingness to dedicate their lives to science, maybe poets of later generations will write a few more hymns for you?" The king matched the file with others, "Oh, Mr. Jacob, you have dissected the neighbors who were just buried three times... My God, why are you obsessed with your neighbors? Wouldn't it be better to exchange corpses in the wilderness?"

"Because they had just been buried and their bodies had not yet decayed, the blood vessel structure could be seen more clearly."

Speaking of this, the face of the middle-aged man known as "Jacob" was full of fanaticism.

"Oh, so you were last accused of killing your landlady's wife."

"I didn't kill her!" The crazy anatomist was angry, "She was already dead at that time! But I think blood can still circulate in the blood vessels when a person just died... Hateful, just a little bit! Just a little bit I will be able to draw a complete picture of the blood circulation in the heart."

"So when the landlady's son arrived, he saw you leaning over his mother. Poor man, he fainted immediately when he saw his mother being disembowelled."

said the king flatly.

"His mother is dead, and life science will continue to develop." The crazy anatomist replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, the warden turned pale and almost spat out.The head of internal affairs glanced at the king, guessing what His Majesty meant, and let him go out first.

"Okay, you were thrown into prison as a matter of course." The king flipped through the files, "The next...you are accused of killing the carpenter's daughter. Mr. Apothecary."

"I was saving her. I think there are things that can affect human life in places that we can't see with the naked eye... The ointment that the damn stupid doctor used to treat her is worse than a stinky gutter Dirty! Look at what he boiled the ointment with - newborn puppies, lily oil, turpentine and earthworms[1] . . . . ?” The pharmacist was eloquent and swearing.

"So you sneaked into Miss Elijah's room, threw away her ointment, and tried to give her a potion?"

"Yes, I was saving her."

The pharmacist stressed.

"Well, you've been convicted of murder as well as rape. Come on, next fine gentleman."

In the process of the head of internal affairs getting more and more ugly, and more and more wanting to beg the king to throw these guys to the stake, the king finished questioning everyone one by one.

These seven people are:

An anatomist obsessed with dissecting his neighbors, a pharmacist who hates all idiots, a doctor who tries to cut open a human brain with a knife, two chemists who team up to study gunpowder and start a fire, a man who tries to make a The architect, the townspeople, who built houses according to his wishes, the king thought he should cooperate with the two chemists, one for persuasion and the other for setting fires.

The last one is an astrologer - which is really rare.

According to what the king learned from the former Templars, the astrologers should all have defected to the Holy Court.

But when the king turned it over and found that he used the cross as a measuring tool, he understood why this guy didn't dare to cross the abyss.

After searching the entire area directly under Legrand, only seven people were found. According to the king's thinking, this is still too few.

However, the "talents" that the Grew family was looking for far exceeded this number, but after being screened out by the Duke of Buckingham at the request of the king, there were only seven people left.

The others were thrown to the guillotine.

"You're all amazing."

The king closed the file and praised him sincerely.

"In every way. Shall I say genius and madman always go hand in hand, gentlemen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

The apothecary accepted the king's compliment without hesitation.

Judging from the expressions of the others, they also seemed to feel that they deserved it.

The king applauded them: "Excellent, gentlemen. So, one question, are you willing to prove to the world that you are geniuses and not lunatics?"

"What do you mean?"

The architect, who was still trying to keep himself tidy even in prison, asked—his obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness seemed to be quite serious.

"It's a very simple thing." The king said briskly, "I'm a little interested in the 'truth' that you speak of. Now that you have a chance to live, it is to prove to me that what you insist on is correct... How? Do you think you are right or wrong?"

"Truth does not lie, the goddess of knowledge and wisdom enlightens me."

The architect replied categorically - he is still a heretic.

"Then, soon you will be taken out of here, and you will have bright and spacious rooms - laboratories, as you say. You can dissect as many corpses as you want, and you can get any minerals you want. Minerals...but how do you prove to me the truth of your ideas?"

The king raised his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

He was good-looking and dignified, like a bastard who could throw countless gold pounds into the water and listen to it.

"That's it," the king said in a deliberative tone, "a really accurate map of human anatomy, a report on what the microbes that cause disease are, an adequate and feasible city plan-I need it to change Those messy sewage systems, a piece of gunpowder that can at least make you escape, a celestial diagram. How about it, gentlemen, are you fools or geniuses?"

In the king's contemptuous and mocking tone, seven people accepted the king's challenge.

The king glanced at the steward.

The steward called the warden in and told him they would be taken away later.

"I hope your research goes well."

The king said goodbye to the seven "geniuses" with a smile.

"After all... if you lose, you will really dedicate your life to science."

There was something wicked in his smile.

Afterwards, the seven men who were brought out of the prison understood the meaning of the king's last words.

They arrived at a house of astonishing size, but the house was tightly sealed off by the Royal Guards.The most important thing is——

At the main entrance of the house, there is a row of burning frames.

Seven, one not more and one not less.

........................

On the way to the residence of the seven "geniuses", they passed the tower of Mezl Castle.

The Duke of Buckingham and Queen Eleanor sit in the tower of the palace.The two looked down from the high window and saw this scene.

Eleanor's current identity is the chief guard of the palace hidden in the dark - this is not the Duke of Buckingham's personal revenge, but her own choice in the end.She can't walk into the light right now, so she is willing to stand in the shadows and guard her child.

After they had passed, the two returned to sit at the table in the tower.

The Duke of Buckingham speaks to the Queen Mother about the King's visit to prison.

The Queen Mother Eleanor sat opposite the Duke of Buckingham, watching a knife in her hand.

The arc knife that the king once used to kill Grand Duke Grace.

The Duke of Buckingham got it from the King, as she requested.

The Queen Mother gently stroked the handle of the knife, and saw the Duke of Buckingham's complex expression - he was used to seeing this man's crazy appearance, or the previous violent and bloody appearance.

"His iron cavalry will whip up strong winds, his ships will weave a net, he will shake the world, and he will be the king of the world." The queen slowly drew out the long knife, she stared at the blade, each sentence, with a loud voice, "You don't have to tell me what he did, you just need to tell me what he needs."

She had watched her child die in front of her face time and time again, and there was nothing she could do about it.

But now everything is different.

She was able to overcome thorns and thorns for her child, and she was able to shield her child from wind and rain. She was finally able to stretch out her shoulders, and when he had fully grown up, she could support him in the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

So what about taking in a few lunatics?

Those lunatics don't obey orders, so she will use the heads of those lunatics to test the knife.

Her child, everything he does is justified.

………………

"I don't quite understand, Your Majesty." The Chief of Internal Affairs followed the king and walked in the prison. "What do you plan to ask them to do?"

"I intend for them to form an Academy of Sciences."

said the king.

He took a few steps forward and found that the head of housekeeping hadn't followed.He turned his head and found that the head of internal affairs was looking at him with an extremely strange expression.

"Are you serious?"

Although it was considered offensive, the head of internal affairs couldn't help but ask.

Lord, look what are those guys? !An Academy of Sciences made up of lunatics and perverts?What Academy of Sciences is that?Academy of Mad Men?

The Academy of Madman Science has not yet been established, and the Chief of Internal Affairs feels that he is going crazy first.His thinking and His Majesty's thinking seem to be completely different from Legrand's territory.

"Don't be so nervous." The king didn't seem to see the collapsed expression of the Chief of Internal Affairs. "It's just an attempt. If they can't prove that they are geniuses rather than lunatics, then they can only start from the Royal Academy."

What to buy?To destroy the group of old pedants?

The Chief of Internal Affairs seemed to have seen the scene of the tragedy befalling the Royal Academy.

In fact, the king originally wanted to start with the Royal Academy.

The Black Death was just a few months away, and the king hadn't pinned all his hopes on the devil.And even if the devil can really solve this disaster, what about the next time?Relying on external forces will only lead to more serious consequences.What the king hopes is to prevent and solve these problems from the root cause.

This is not an easy task, it takes time, courage and trying.

The king can know some general directions, but he is a king, not a doctor or a sex researcher. Naturally, he can't do everything by himself, and there are more things to do than studying one or two human body structures. The king decides.

To use an analogy, Legrand is like a huge ship. The king is the one who decides the course of the ship. What he needs to do is to make macro changes and controls, decide which old things on the ship should be replaced, and the direction of the ship. How to adjust.As for how to replace the more subtle screws, how to specifically build a replacement board...that needs to be done by the people below.

Knowing what to do and what not to do is a qualified king.

During the conversation, the king and the steward went to another cell.

The guy held there caught the King's attention—his room looked extraordinarily comfortable.

"That's Dunady Goros."

The Chief of Internal Affairs noticed the king's gaze and explained.

"Guros... I remember that he is the president of the Brotherhood of the Five-Port Alliance, and the current Five-Port Alliance seems to be headed by him." The king stood in front of the cell, looking at the guy inside on the comfortably laid straw Fell asleep, "Is this his son?"

"The illegitimate son. It was he who robbed the royal merchant ship last time."

The Chief of Internal Affairs was just about to call out for the Warden, to reprimand him.

The king stopped the steward and walked straight ahead.Giving and accepting bribes is normal in prisons. As the oldest member of the Cinque Port Alliance, the Guros family naturally has the ample financial strength to reach out to Metzl's prison, and it is useless to reprimand a warden.

"Your Majesty, the five-port alliance has not been peaceful recently." The Chief of Internal Affairs followed the king, "Do you want to warn them?"

"On the contrary." The king smiled meaningfully. "I hope they can do something."

"Are you..." The Chief of Internal Affairs looked at the king carefully, "Are you forcing them on purpose?"

"If there's no excuse there's no reason to clean up, is there?"

the king asked back.

Of course, the king deliberately left the five-port alliance open.

Don't forget how poor the royal family is. If the Five-Port Alliance is willing to cooperate 100% with the king's next reforms, then it's not a bad idea.However, this is impossible. The five-port alliance has existed for too long. They were dazzled by the glory of the past, and even more so fascinated by the huge benefits that they lost their minds.

"Aren't you worried that they will link up with other nobles and cause new turmoil?"

The head of housekeeping ventured to speak out and voiced his concerns.

After returning to the Rose Palace, he suddenly found that there were more people loyal to the king.This gave the loyal Chief of Internal Affairs, who regarded himself as the king's first subordinate, a rare sense of crisis.For this reason, he was as busy as a spinning top during this period of time, not only filling in the vacancy of his absence from the life of the palace, but also actively paying attention to all the news of Legrand right now.

The King's preparations before the Great Cleansing during this period are naturally within his focus.

The Chief of Internal Affairs is worried that if there is any change in this joint five-port alliance, it will cause a chain reaction.

"No. It's not like that, Mr. Steward." The king didn't get angry, he continued to walk along the cold stone road, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "The Five-Port Alliance has been rooted in the southeast for too long, they are too arrogant, So much so that they forgot their initial caution. They even forgot to share a sip of the soup with the others.”

"Look."

The king chuckled.

"If the Five-Port Alliance is in trouble, there will be more people who are trying to replace it, not those who will help it in a timely manner. There are too many people who are eyeing such a big piece of fat."

There was a hideous irony in the king's words.

He sees many things so clearly that he always speaks with a careless feeling.

"Contact Angel." The king calmly ordered, "They have been poor for a long time, and they want to get involved in this matter even more."

There are many mountains in the Anger State, which means that they have rich forest resources. If the king is willing to bid and relax some terms for them in some aspects, he will be very happy to provide the king with buildings if he wants to come to the Anger State. The wood needed by the castle can even serve as an escort.

"You sound like you're ready."

The head of internal affairs was a little startled, and couldn't help but exclaim.

The king reached an agreement with the Angle State before the civil strife was quelled. At that time, the king only borrowed the cavalry from the Angle State.But who would have thought that the king might have set his sights on the timber resources of the Angor Mountains as early as that time?

The king smiled.

A pledge of allegiance, a quelling of a war, and a cavalry, all you want to exchange from the king for the status enjoyed by the free people?Don't get me wrong, the king is not so generous. Before General Edmund of Angor State reminded the king of the contract, the king was already thinking about how to obtain greater benefits from Angor State.

The knight commander's familiarity with Angor State was the basis for the king's plan.

Facts have proved that the king's early thinking was not in vain, and it is not in use now?

The king walked up the cold stone steps of the prison step by step.

He wore exquisite black boots, which were inlaid with gorgeous gemstones, and as the king walked, the gemstones on both sides shone with splendor.The king took every step firmly and powerfully. Looking at his back from behind, it was like a blade that was always moving forward.

"In January, the merchant ships of the Five-Port Alliance refused to accept the search of the Governor of Customs."

"In February, wool was smuggled in the secondary cities of the Five-Port Alliance."

"In March, the Guros family of the Five-Port Alliance ordered ships to attack passing ships."

"In April, Shildshire merchant ships were detained for not lowering their flags while passing through the port of Kothsoia."[2]

……

"In September, the Cinque Port Alliance teamed up with Grice to smuggle Gulundi heavy cavalry."

"In October, the Five-Port Alliance joins the Rose Change."

The king's voice grew colder, his tone steady, but fury simmered beneath the calm ice.

The Five-Port Alliance may not know what they have accomplished-they have completely killed a king with a surprisingly good memory.Everything they did, pen and pen, the king remembered clearly.

"The uncrowned king of sea and commerce?"

The king gave a low laugh.

There is something chilling in the laughter.

With a clear sound, the black boots stepped on the last step. The king raised his head, his gaze swept across the thick snow-covered ground, and the cold wind howled.

"In my land, how can there be a second emperor?"

The king stepped up the last step without hesitation, and he stepped out of the shadows.The sun fell on him all at once,

The cold wind howled, and the king's eyebrows and eyes were illuminated with dazzling light.

The scarlet royal robe proclaims the iron-blooded emperor's determination.

The throne of the Qiangwei family stands on the land of Legrand, so there can only be one will and one voice on the land of Legrand, and then only one flag can be hoisted on the ships traveling to and from the Abyss Strait.

Grand Duke Grace tried to set foot on the throne, eventually staining the king's robes with blood.

Now, the king is determined to sink the old ship of the Five Ports Alliance, the "uncrowned king of the sea", into the abyss.

The throne cannot be challenged!

Congratulations to the little king for having a cross-generational... crazy science academy(?)
