The King's Follower [Rebirth]

The members of the royal family waited another hour before dispersing.Although it is a big event for Prince Edward to return to the capital to visit the king and queen, the king has other important national affairs to deal with, and he cannot waste an afternoon here. Besides, there will be a family dinner in the evening, and then continue his father's work. It's not too late to be kind and filial.

Edward stood behind the queen and saw the king off together, before leaving the parlor under the watchful eyes of other royal family members.Before leaving, Edward turned his head subconsciously, looked towards the team of his illegitimate siblings, and met William's eyes without any surprise.When the little orc saw him turn his head, he immediately showed a bright but somewhat shy smile.Edward felt soft in his heart, and returned a smile before continuing to move forward.

The queen took Edward's hand and smiled kindly all the way, until she entered her room, she immediately sank down, quickly shook off Edward's hand, and sat down angrily on the chair in front of the fireplace with her skirt .The queen's servants carefully arranged the afternoon tea and snacks, and then quietly exited the room.

"'Dear brother,'" the queen imitated Edward's tone, "how did I not know that I bore you a brother again?"

Edward didn't speak, and sat down in front of the queen in silence, neither apologizing nor justifying his actions.He knew that the queen just wanted to vent. No matter what he said, he would be caught and reprimanded. It would be better to listen quietly and save some energy.

The queen sneered: "Are you trying to please your father by getting on good terms with that little bastard William? Oh my god, see your identity clearly, you are the crown prince, Cuthbert's future king, you don't need Ingratiate yourself with anyone! You're embarrassing me by groveling like this!"

Edward lowered his eyes, looking at the intricate patterns on the carpet.He could see that the queen was just a bluff from embarrassment. She was a queen who was not worthy of the name and had no confidence. However, the king's different view of William and William's talent far surpassed all members of the royal family made her feel a huge crisis.The king has always been one-sided. He is an extremely tough and stubborn person. If William really becomes an eighth-level silver dragon in the future and makes some military achievements, coupled with the support of the king, he will be fully qualified to compete with Edward for the throne.

In his last life, Edward didn't understand why the queen was so anxious. He only felt that he was the legitimate crown prince. William was born illegally, and it was impossible for him to inherit the throne.Besides, his father loved him deeply, so how could he possibly pass on the throne to others?And now, he could finally understand where the queen's seemingly exaggerated worries came from.

The queen taunted William and his mother with almost no words or sentences that might belittle her identity, the absurdity of the king, and Edward's incompetence and failure to live up to expectations. The crackling sound was especially forceful in the last few times, and the fan was broken within a few blows.Turning his head, he saw Edward staring out the window absent-mindedly, as if he didn't hear anything at all.

The queen was furious and threw the fan over.Edward didn't wake up until the fan was about to hit his face. He turned his head abruptly to avoid it, and the fan brushed his ears and hit the ground behind him.

"Sorry, mother." Edward withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to admit his mistake.

The queen stared at him, took a deep breath to calm her anger, and after a few minutes, she said, "What level has your space reached now?"

Edward covered his mouth with his hands and coughed softly, "It's the third-level intermediate now."

The space level of sub-orcs is the same as that of orcs, there are nine levels, and the difficulty of advancement is similar.The higher the level of the orc, the greater the attack power, and the larger the size of the beast, and the higher the level of the space of the sub-orc, the larger the area of ​​the space, the higher the output of the plants and the higher the energy level of the plants.The land of the Salman continent cannot grow crops. The food, vegetables, fruits, and medicinal materials needed by humans, and the pastures and pastures needed for raising livestock all come from the space where sub-orcs can grow plants. The higher the space level of sub-orcs, the The higher the crop yield, the more beneficial the food and medicinal materials produced will be to the orcs.

Hearing Edward's level of space, the queen took a deep breath, as if she was about to say something, but then she tightly pressed her lips together and tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, her heavy breathing sounded like a breath before a storm. There was a strong wind, and dark clouds gathered in the room.

"My lord, Orgon, what have you been doing in Somerset these past few years? You can't compare to that little bastard who just came back from the backcountry!" The corner of the Queen's mouth pulled a contemptuous and impatient sneer, "All the nobles Children can reach the fourth level when they are adults, and you will become an adult in only two years, and now you only have the third intermediate level, and you are still enjoying the best resources in the entire empire. Do you want the royal family to become the whole world? The laughing stock of the empire?"

"I'm sorry, mother, I will work hard to cultivate in the future." Edward said without apology.

Now Edward can already see that the Queen has always held an extremely contradictory attitude towards her own strength. She not only hopes that her strength will be superior to her, but she is also afraid that Edward's strength will be too strong to escape her control.But he knows that in the end, the latter idea will become more and more dominant, and the queen will be angry with him now, but if the queen really knows her true level, I am afraid that one day in the future, she will not be able to resist sending out assassins to destroy your own space.And his space is still unable to resist the powerful invasion of an orc.

Yes, Edward's space is not limited to the third-level intermediate level, which was the level he reached in his last life at this time, but now he has reached the fourth-level intermediate level.Perhaps it was because of the openness of his heart after rebirth, or perhaps because of Olgon La's kindness. Since he woke up a year ago, Edward's space level has improved rapidly. What surprised him even more was that his previous life Space can only produce food, but in this life, it is possible to grow herbs.You know, in the Salman continent, only one in a thousand sub-orcs has space to grow herbs.

The herbs produced in the space of sub-orcs are not only ordinary herbs that can be used to cure diseases and save people, but also a kind of herbs that can condense magic crystals, and this magic crystal is of great benefit to the advancement of orcs. It is the promotion that orcs in the entire continent dream of. good medicine.Although high-level other usable crops are also of great benefit to orcs, they are far less effective than herbs of the same level.The herbs that can condense magic crystals are all plants of level six and above without exception. Some are upgraded from ordinary herbs with the emphasis on nourishment in space, while they are high-level herbs from the beginning. Will not grow until the required level.

Although other high-level edible crops are also of great benefit to the body of orcs, they are far inferior to the effects of herbs of the same level, let alone magic crystals.Therefore, sub-orcs who can produce herbs have become scarce talents. Once discovered, they will be immediately protected by the church. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they will receive support and sponsorship from the state, accept the best training to improve the space level, and enough advanced medicinal materials.

Fortunately, the parts where herbs can be planted in Edward's space are hidden, not only cannot be detected by machines, even if orcs enter the space, unless the strength exceeds three levels of Edward, it is difficult to find this piece of land without Edward's permission. Let Edward keep the secret.

Now, Edward's space level has reached the fourth intermediate level, and the ratio of the land producing food to the land producing herbs is three to one. In the deepest part of his space, there is a special land producing herbs. The level of this land has unexpectedly reached At level six, there is a large piece of herbal medicine that is condensing magic crystals!

The day after Edward was reborn, he discovered this special piece of land and the herbs growing in it, and he didn't know how they appeared in his own space.However, this special land neither helped to nourish his space, nor hindered the promotion of the space and the growth of other plants. Apart from the slow speed of condensing the magic crystal, Edward did not find any abnormalities.He regarded this piece of land as a gift from Orgunra, which might save his life at some critical moment.

The queen spent the whole afternoon reprimanding and accusing Edward, and it was not until it was almost time for evening class that she showed mercy and let Edward go back to his room to change his clothes.

Both the queen's bedroom and the king's bedroom are located on the south side of the castle, while Edward's bedroom is on the west side of the castle, and there is a difference of one floor, because not only the two majesties live in this corridor on the south side of the castle, but also the king. King's lover.As a child, Edward needed to avoid the private life of the king, and his noble status also meant that these notorious extramarital lovers were hardly qualified to appear in front of him unless they were on official business.

Edward, therefore, did not linger in the south corridor, but left the queen's bedchamber, and immediately followed the shortest path to the stairs, and descended to his room.However, as soon as he entered the corridor downstairs, a man quickly came out from behind the pillar beside the corridor, stood in front of him, bowed deeply, and said hello to him: "Good day, Your Royal Highness."

Now, the king's lovers living in the court include two women and two men, both of whom were sub-orcs who had given birth to excellent offspring for the king, so they were awarded the lower title of title, and they were the king's knighted lovers.Because of the constitution, the king cannot grant them a title higher than the viscount, nor can he give them a lot of wealth as in the era of supremacy of the king 1000 years ago, but even so, the king's lovers are still willing to stay in the palace, after all, this is The easiest and quickest way to support your family.They are all the queen's servants in name, but the queen can't control the official lovers of the four kings. These four people also know their identities and don't take the initiative to conflict with the queen, so everyone is at peace in the court. nothing.

And now the one standing in front of Edward is one of the king's knighted lovers, Baron Cyroll, who gave birth to an orc for the king, named Thomas, who is two years younger than Edward, and now his strength has reached level three peak.
