Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

"Yes, yes, Duke Carmine must be absent because he is not feeling well."

"I believe that Duke Carmine will be very happy when he knows your majesty's intentions."

"Yes, it is our blessing to have a king who cares so much about his subordinates."

Looking at the peaceful and lively scene in the court, Rhine smiled with relief.

"Now that we know Duke Carmine and Duke Baccarat will not be coming, let's start today's meeting."

In the following meeting, Rhine listened "carefully" to the disaster reports from officials from all over the country and commented on their proposed response methods one by one. During the meeting, he also publicly praised several officials with outstanding performance, hoping that other officials could learn from them.

At the same time, it was also stated that some useless things in the national treasury would be sold, and the funds raised would be allocated to disaster relief in the worst-hit areas. If there is a need in this regard, an application can be submitted to the civil servant afterwards.

In this way, the first meeting held by Rhine ended in laughter and joy, and the officials all praised Rhine for being a good king.

"Alicia, did you take note of everyone who didn't praise me in today's meeting?" In the office, Rhine was half lying on a chair with his feet on the desk in front of him.

"I've got it." Although she didn't know what Rhine was going to do, Alisha still handed him the list.

"Do you think I'm a little stupid? I believe everything they say, and the officials they praised are all corrupt officials?" Rhine asked back.

"Your Majesty, there must be some hidden meaning behind what you did." Alisha made a cup of tea for Rhine and brought it to him.

"Do you know what I'm waiting for?"

"have no idea."

"Come and give me a hand on your shoulders and I'll tell you."

After hearing this, Alisha moved behind Rhine and obediently massaged his shoulders.

Rhine closed his eyes and rested his head on the softness behind him, enjoying Alisha's massage.

"Your father gave up the throne too hastily. Although they respect your father's decision on the surface, the ascension of a strange new king to the throne will inevitably make the people below panic. I am sure that few people will stand by my side before the situation becomes clear."

"Especially since the three dukes all have a lot of military power, they are likely to get rid of me in the name of clearing the court, and then restore the old king's rule or make you king. They may also re-select someone from their faction or someone without any faction to inherit the throne, thereby completing a major reshuffle of political power and forming a kingdom where the nobles dominate the royal family."

"No, San Gong will not betray the kingdom." After rubbing Rhine's shoulders, Alisha began to massage his temples.

"They didn't betray the kingdom. They just betrayed me, the new king."

"By the way, Your Majesty hasn't told me what you are waiting for?" Alisha asked curiously.

"I'm waiting for my man."

"Waiting for you? Your Majesty, do you have any companions?"

"Didn't the memories you received tell you what would happen in the future?" Rhine asked.

"My future self erased a lot of irrelevant memories, so I don't know how Your Majesty saved the country. I only know that Your Majesty finally unified the continent." Alisha replied.

"How can this be an insignificant matter..."

"Forget it. It's better not to know. I can play freely now."

“The fastest way to change a country is to initiate a social change from top to bottom.”

"Social change?"

"Yes, didn't you say that a hero is someone who leads the changes of the times? To me, the changes here refer to social changes."

"Social change?"

“Simply put, social change refers to a social movement that changes the social system based on certain goals. It includes two forms: social reform and social revolution. The paths of social change can be divided into top-down and bottom-up.”

“Social change includes all aspects of politics, economy, ideology, culture and social life. Social change generally occurs when the contradictions in the original social system are acute and the inadaptability and disharmony between the various elements have seriously affected the normal operation of society. It will completely or partially change the relationship between the original social system.”

"Therefore, the change will inevitably affect the status or interests of social classes, strata, groups and individuals, involving all aspects and levels of social life. And the first thing that needs to be changed in this country is the entire bureaucracy. In other words, I will stand against the officials and aristocracy of the entire country."

"What are you going to do?" Alisha asked worriedly. This would definitely cause a huge backlash, and even the entire country would fall into turmoil.

More importantly, they will definitely try every means to get rid of Rhine, the reformer.

"In times of chaos, severe punishments are used, and strong medicine is used to treat serious illnesses. From the prime minister to the local officials, all are dismissed."

"Isn't this a bit too hasty? Let's not talk about whether this plan can be successfully implemented. Even if they are all removed from office, who will manage the country? Moreover, some of these officials did not participate in corruption. Can we keep them?" Alisha suggested.

"Yes, I asked you to make a list, didn't I? Especially those officials with gloomy faces, they can be trained as the focus. Although they don't have the courage to stand up and accuse other officials, they will be angry because the king was deceived, cheated, and ridiculed."

"As for the prime minister...even though he didn't lie to me, he must be replaced. This is because the network of relationships involved in this position is too large. He himself may not have any problems, but what about his subordinates? What about his subordinates' subordinates? Oftentimes, it's not the case that he has no problems at all."

"There is another problem. The three officials will not agree with your plan because many of these officials are their subordinates who have followed them through thick and thin."

In Alisha's opinion, Rhine's plan was simply nonsense, but she chose to believe Rhine.

"Then we have no choice but to remove them as well."

"..."

If she didn't know the ending of the Kingdom of Elfriden, she would have thought Rhine was a lunatic, because this was almost an impossible task.

"So what do you plan to do with the vacancies left by those officials who were dismissed?"

"Without them, the king can't even issue an order out of the royal city."

"That's the problem. So in the next few days, I will act out a play with them, and then secretly observe which ones are potential candidates for cultivation."

"For me, ability is secondary, the most important thing is character. I don't need their ability, I just need their loyalty to this country."

"Then what's your plan for selling off national treasury assets for disaster relief?"

"You don't understand, this is called fishing enforcement! I don't believe they can resist being greedy and deducting. As long as they dare to stretch out their hands, I dare to raid their homes. Regarding this matter, I hope you will be responsible for it, Alisha."

"Me? What do you need me for?"

"It's impossible that your royal family doesn't have its own secret special forces, right?" Rhine asked.

"Yes, there are, but considering the secrecy, there aren't many of them."

"That's enough. I don't need them to fight and kill. I just need them to collect dirt on officials. Then I can raid their homes openly."

"Leave it to me. Gathering intelligence happens to be their strong point."

"Well, please."

"By the way, where are your companions? Didn't you come here alone?" Alisha asked curiously.

"You can summon me out, but why can't I summon others?" The main reason was that Rhine didn't know how to explain the card drawing thing to Alisha, so he had to say that they were summoned.

"But the kingdom can no longer gather the materials for a second summon, let alone such a huge amount."

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it."

That's right, Rhine plans to replace the vacant positions by drawing a large number of characters from the card pool.

He didn't need to draw a legendary hero like SSR. Even the weakest N-card character would be an elite among ordinary people. Their abilities were much stronger than most ordinary people, not to mention that there were R-card, UR-card, and SR-card characters above the N-card. This was the reason why he dared to replace most of the officials.

Now is a special situation. He plans to arrange for his people to take over the management of the country. If they don't understand the situation in the country, and sometimes need the cooperation of local officials, he plans to take over the country's government system. After the country is stable, the civil service examination will be opened to the public.

Therefore, he did not need any orders to seek talents, systems of recommendation, or systems of recommendation, because he himself had a treasure trove of talents.

The “civil” aspect has been resolved, but what about the “military” aspect?

That depends on what Rhine himself thinks.

If he wants to play it as a game, then as the flag bearer he definitely cannot take part in it himself. Otherwise, with his ability to conquer the world, conquering a country would be a waste of his talent.

When he has the ability to flip the chessboard at any time, the outcome of the game is no longer important.

And his experience told him that the strongest person in this country should be Axel, she is the only legend in the Kingdom of Elfriden.

Therefore, if he intended to win the support of the three officials, he actually only needed to win over Axel.

"Let's go, Alisha." Rhine stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Where are you going?"

"On a date."

Rhine planned to visit this country incognito. After all, all he knew about this country came from what other people said or from information.

Chapter 287 Causes of Famine

"Your Majesty, for your own safety, please take me with you when you go out," the captain of the guard pleaded.

As palace guards, they didn't need to stand in line, because their duty was to protect the king, no matter who the king was. So when he heard that Rhine was going to visit incognito, he had to follow him no matter what.

"I'm going on a date, why should I take you with me?"

"But, Your Majesty, your identity is very sensitive right now. I'm afraid someone will..."

"Don't worry, I will protect your majesty." Alisha said.

"Did you hear that? Alisha said she would protect me, so don't follow me."

"Besides, it's hard for me not to attract attention when being followed by a big guy like you. How can I go on a secret visit?" Rhine said to the captain of the guards who was nearly three meters tall.

"Even if you don't need me to follow you, Your Majesty, please bring a few guards with you. It's better to be safe than sorry." In the eyes of the captain of the guards, the newly appointed King of Rhine was very weak. He did not have any strength at all, and his slender figure seemed like it would fall down if blown by the wind.

"I said, I will protect your majesty."

"Have you forgotten that I'm a mage? If even I can't handle it, then what use can those guards be?" Alisha narrowed her eyes.

Although she has always been gentle, dignified and virtuous, she is the first crown prince who stands out from many heirs to the throne.

"Yes... Your Highness."

"I'm wrong. I'm not a princess anymore."

"Yes, princess."

"You go down first."

Alisha was very satisfied with the title of captain of the guards.

"Alisha, you are a witch. Does that mean you can also use magic?" Rhine asked curiously.

This was his first contact with wizards outside of the Penicia continent.

Because of the war between gods, the original ancient continent of the Penicsia world was shattered into pieces.

After hundreds of millions of years of plate drift, the distance between continents has long been far apart.

Therefore, each continent developed its own civilization, which included different cultivation systems.

The magic systems that Rhine knew included "chanting magic", "mathematical magic", "conduction magic", "rune magic", "elf magic", and "alchemy", so he was a little curious about the magic system of this continent.

"Witch? I'm not a witch." Alisha shook her head after hearing this.

"No, you misunderstood. Where I live, witch is just a name for female magicians, and it doesn't have any other bad meanings."

"I see. However, in this continent, the term witch refers specifically to female demons among the demons. Your Majesty, please remember this."

"Yeah, I remember."

It seems that only the "witch" of the Peniche continent does not have any derogatory connotations, while the perception of "witches" in other continents has more or less a bad side.

Of course, in the Peniche continent more than 6,000 years ago, witches were not a good name, and there were even tragedies of witch hunting. At that time, witches could be said to be rats crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill. Finally, with the intervention of the first president of the Magic Unification Association, witches have the status they have today.

"By the way, Alisha. Can you give me a brief explanation of the magic system of this continent?" Rhine asked humbly.

Perhaps it was because the continent of Landia was too far away from the continent of Penicsia, or perhaps it was because the continent of Landia was a testing ground during the era of the High Elves and was not open to the public. Therefore, Rhine had never seen any books about the continent of Landia.

"Yes. Magic is a mysterious power that can manipulate natural phenomena and strengthen objects. I'm not very clear about the principle that causes magical phenomena, but I only know that magic has existed for a long time."

"Although there are scholars who have studied how magic came about and what the principles are, they all failed in the end because they had no idea where to start."

"There are six types of magic: fire, water, earth, wind, light, and dark."

"The four attributes of fire, water, earth, and wind are mainly used for attack magic, and the light attribute is often used for healing magic and auxiliary magic. The last one, the dark attribute, is the rarest and most special "personal" magic."

"Personal magic?"

"Yes, dark attribute magic is different from other attribute magic, and there is no specific magic form. Dark attribute magic will show different forms depending on the user. For example, my dark attribute magic is time-based, and "memory inheritance" is actually my dark attribute magic. Some people's dark attribute magic may be space-based, mind-based, or strong light-based... Because everyone's dark attribute magic is different, dark attribute magic is called personal magic."

"Can everyone use magic? What is the energy source that drives magic? Is it magic power? Do you have magic circuits in your body? Do you need a medium to cast spells?"

Rhine felt that his spirit of exploration as a scholar was aroused. If he had not been sealed by the system, he would have wanted to start academic research immediately.

"Not everyone can use magic. You need qualifications. People without qualifications can't use magic anyway."

"And depending on the qualifications, the magic attributes that each person can use are also different. For example, in the army of the Kingdom of Elfriden, each person is divided into different branches according to his or her attributes. The fire attribute is the army, the wind attribute is the air force, the water attribute is the navy, the earth attribute is the guards, the light attribute is the medical soldiers and engineers, and the dark attribute joins the secret service."

"As for the energy source that drives magic... I don't know if it's called magic power in your Majesty's place, but on this continent it's called magic element, and the magic circuit should be called the magic element corridor. As for the medium... it seems that magic can be performed without a medium? I've never really paid attention to this."

"Magic can be performed without a medium..." Does this kind of magic system really exist in the world?
