Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

Seeing that the other party was so scared that his legs went limp, Rhine stopped making things difficult for him.

Of course, Rhine knew what was going on. It was nothing more than that his speech yesterday had offended a large number of officials, and they united today to protest to Rhine in this way. The gist was that without us officials, you, the king, could do nothing, and you still wanted to reform?

"Okay, they're sick, right? Since they all want to stay at home to recuperate, let's give them a long vacation so they can recover."

"Max!"

"I am here," responded the kingdom's half-elf prime minister.

He was still loyal to the old king, so he was not like other officials who were hypocritical towards Rhine, who was appointed by the old king. He could be said to be one of the few people under Rhine who could help.

"Pass on my order. All officials who are not present today will be dismissed from their posts for dereliction of duty and deceiving the king. All their privileges, mansions and carriages issued by the kingdom will be revoked. They will never be employed again."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! If so many officials are dismissed at once, the kingdom will be paralyzed."

"Your Majesty, please think twice! Without them, many tasks will not be carried out."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

The ministers who had been silent before now spoke up one after another, and the audience hall became very lively for a while.

"Very good, very good. You were all dumb just now, how come you are so eloquent now? I think you also want to go home with them to recuperate, right? Do you really think that you can do nothing without the king, and that the kingdom will be destroyed without you, right?"

In an instant, the audience hall returned to its quiet atmosphere. No one dared to breathe, for fear of being noticed by Rhine.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I don't think that's what they meant."

"What they want to say is if so many officials are removed at once, who should take over their positions and jobs?"

"Even if Your Majesty holds a talent recruitment conference, it is obviously very difficult to complete a seamless handover in such a short time. Therefore, the best method is to proceed step by step." Prime Minister Max came out to help.

If Rhine really dismissed everyone in a fit of rage, it would be a real disaster.

"You also want to persuade me to take back my decision?" Rhine glanced at the prime minister.

"I dare not. What I want to say is that we should discuss what to do next after removing these officials."

"Next step? Isn't it too early to consider it?"

"Too early? What does your Majesty mean?" Max asked puzzled.

"To tell you the truth, it happened last night. Grand Duke Carmine and Grand Duke Bakas have decided to start a rebellion. They will target the royal city in nine days! If I lose by then, there will be no next step. After all, I will no longer be the king by then."

Although Rhine spoke very calmly, this explosive news still caused an uproar among the ministers.

For a moment, everyone panicked.

Some people even showed resentful expressions towards Rhine, roughly saying that it was all his fault.

"Quiet!!! I am still the king now!"

"If you think I will lose, just go and join Duke Carmine! I won't stop you! Maybe he will reward you for turning from evil to good."

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to act on impulse. You should ask the old king to come out. As long as he shows up, things might turn around." Max advised.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please ask the old king to come out. Duke Carmine will definitely not really rebel for the sake of the old king."

Other officials also spoke one after another.

"Shut up!" At this time, Alisha, who had been sitting silently aside, suddenly spoke.

"My father passed the throne to His Majesty because he trusted him. He is willing to use the throne as a bet. Is your official position more important than the throne? Is your trust more valuable than the throne?"

“…………”Faced with the questioning of the former First Crown Prince, all the ministers fell into silence.

They really didn't understand what the old king was thinking. What was so special about Rhine that made him make such a big bet, even giving away the entire country to the other party?

"Don't be angry." Rhine held Alisha's delicate and slender hand and comforted her.

Even though he looked furious before, he was actually pretending.

There are very few things in this world that can make him angry. Even if you point your finger at his nose and scold him, he will not get angry, unless it touches his bottom line, such as scolding his relatives.

"Well, today's meeting ends here. I don't think you guys are interested in having another meeting."

"Go back and think about it carefully today. If you support me, come to the court tomorrow as usual. If you support Duke Carmine, you don't need to come, just go and join his team. I won't stop you. But if you do so, you will also be treated as treason, sentenced to death, and all your property will be confiscated. After all, this is a bet, and you can't lose without any cost, so don't beg me for mercy when the time comes."

"If you don't want to help either side, I will allow you to submit your resignation and return home. No matter whether I win or lose in the end, you will have nothing to do with the officialdom in the future, and I will not settle accounts with you again."

"That's all for today's meeting. Adjourn."

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

"If you know anyone who didn't come, please tell them about everything that happened today."

"But since they have all been removed from office, it doesn't seem to matter anymore."

"Max, please stay for a moment. Everyone else please leave."

At this moment, Max, who was named, had a complicated expression on his face. The development of the situation to this point was beyond anyone's control.

No one expected that on the third day after the new king took office, he would rush into reforms when his foundation was not yet solid. No one expected that the three ministers who were loyal to the kingdom would rebel.

The famine has not ended yet, and the war is about to begin. What will be the future of this country?

After everyone left, Rhine said to the absent-minded Max, "If you also want to join Carmine's camp, I won't stop you. In fact, for the sake of the old king, I won't kill you even if I win."

Rhine just didn't know how to dismiss the chancellor, and it would be even better if he could abdicate on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, I will be your subject forever. As long as Your Majesty is the king, I will never betray you." Max said firmly.

"Good!" Rhine applauded him.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Max was worried. He really couldn't think of any chance of Rhine winning.

"Don't be so pessimistic. First, Grand Duke Carmine has 5 ground forces. We have 4 guardsmen, plus Duke Woda's 1 naval forces, isn't that 5 too? Putting aside the combat power, at least we are equal in numbers."

"Your Majesty, have you overlooked the nobles' private soldiers?"

"If all those private soldiers were gathered together, there would be at least 20,000 to 30,000 of them, which is also a force that cannot be underestimated. The most important thing is that although Duke Bakas's air force is not large, we do not have the corresponding air force to check and balance them." Max reminded.

"Don't worry, you can think of things that I can't think of."

"In short, you don't have to worry about the war. Your most important task now is to concentrate on helping me organize the talent recruitment conference. You must do everything yourself and don't let the hostile elements sabotage it."

"I know we may not be fully staffed right now, so you can put your current work aside and focus on this."

"If we are only dealing with this one thing, it should be enough to transfer people from other departments over here. But my job...those are disaster reports and material requests from officials from all over the country, which cannot be delayed," Max replied.

After Rhine's disturbance, nearly three-quarters of the officials in the court were out of work. Fortunately, only the upper-level officials were affected, while the middle-level and lower-level officials were still working. But this was only temporary. If no one took over the work of the dismissed officials, the blocked work would accumulate, and the whole country would eventually fall into chaos.

"It's just a few days. It won't delay you much. Besides, if I lose, will it be your turn to worry about these tasks?"

"That... okay. I will assign more people to complete the talent selection as soon as possible." Max had no choice but to agree.

Just like Rhine said, if he lost the battle, then his tenure as prime minister might be over. After all, Carmine would definitely let his retainers take up such an important position.

After the morning meeting, Rhine and Alisha had lunch together, which was also some homely food.

“Alisha, even though I’ve asked you so many times, I still want to ask you if you believe me.”

"My dear Majesty, how can I not believe you? No one knows your greatness better than me. So no matter what happens, I will stand by you, even if it means facing death." Perhaps influenced by some future memories, Alisha's affection for Rhine was fully attracted from the very beginning.

It’s like you have the memory of your future self and you know that the girl opposite you is your future wife. Would you not be nice to her?

"Thank you for your trust. I won't let you down." During the few days he spent with Alisha, Rhine's affection for her grew rapidly.

He admitted that he was a face lover, and Alisha's beauty added a lot of points to her, but the most important thing was that Alisha's personality was really likable.

If I have to say, it's that they have a very good compatibility. Alisha is the type who will stand behind you and support you no matter what you do. She will give you a massage to relax you when you are tired, and she will touch your head to comfort you when you are in a bad mood. In short, she is the type of gentle big sister! Isn't this much better than the tsundere, venomous, and black-bellied personalities?

Is there really someone who likes sadistic people but not gentle big sisters?

After lunch, Rhine decided to go out and see how the talent recruitment conference was going, so he asked Alisha to use dark magic to change his clothes.

Rhine was a little worried about whether his speech could attract people and how many people he could attract, but after seeing the busy streets and the bustling squares, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

Because the result was an unexpected and unprecedented grand occasion!

Regardless of whether they came here with a sincere desire to save the country or simply for the treatment, the capital was now packed with people, to the point where they had to limit the number of people allowed into the city.

Because the scene was really chaotic, Rhine had to impose martial law.

In addition to the soldiers who were originally there to maintain order in the city, Rhine mobilized another 2,000 imperial guards into the city. Although they were not good at fighting, they had no problem maintaining order.

In addition, Rhine also banned any means of transportation from entering the city to avoid injuries in the chaotic traffic, and asked soldiers to divide the main road leading from the city gate to the Registration Square into two roads, one going and one returning. Then he set up guiding signs and human-shaped traffic lights at the intersections to divert the crowd at a certain rhythm, which allowed the blocked "traffic" in the city to move again.

Then, Rhine asked Max to take out all the royal food stored in the palace and distribute it to everyone.

Although Max strongly objected, saying that was two years' worth of grain reserves for the royal family, with so many mouths to feed in the city, even if all of it was taken out it would only last for ten days or half a month.

But Rhine said, "You said ten days or half a month, so if I lose after nine days, won't the food belong to others? It's better to give it to everyone so that they can have enough food. You can't let people come from all over the country and still go hungry, right?"

After hearing this, Max had no choice but to agree, and he asked people to set up a station in an open area to distribute free food.

However, more and more people will come to the royal city, and there is not enough food for everyone in the world, so Max decided that only those who register can receive free meals, and each person can only receive 10 meals, and eat one meal as a mark. If you advance, you can get 20 meals.

Don't underestimate this operation. You have to know what it means to have 20 full meals for people in the famine years. And they who have been hungry, after eating, will never want to go back to the days of hunger, so they will only work hard to advance.

Since Rhine had promised before that even if you were not elected, you would be able to have enough food as long as you were willing to work, there was no need to worry about riots. Those who lost the election just had to register in another place, where there were places for physical labor.

Although many people came from all over the country, not all of them came to apply for jobs, many of them came to watch the fun. Perhaps because Rhine's external recruitment method was too high-profile, many people with decent lives crowded into the capital to watch the fun. They wanted to see what kind of people could attract the king's attention.

Where there are people, there are business opportunities. Hawkers from all over the country also seized this opportunity to flock to the capital and set up stalls to do business. Rhine did not stop this, but only asked them not to set up stalls on the main roads to affect others. Therefore, the side roads other than the main roads became snack streets, food streets, antique streets, etc., similar to festivals. The capital, which used to be somewhat depressed, suddenly became as lively as if it was holding a celebration, and it also boosted the economy of the entire capital.

As for the most important talent recruitment in the square, it was unprecedented.

All kinds of talents are showing their talents under the review department arranged by Max, ranging from those who can be put to use immediately, to those who seem useless at first glance but seem to be somewhat useful, and to those who have no idea what they can do but are indeed talented.

Max is personally responsible for reviewing projects that are unique talents. As long as they are recognized by him, any talent can be awarded a bonus.

Rhine and Alisha were in another place reviewing the reports submitted by the examiners, and initially picking out the people who deserved attention.

There are indeed a lot of people participating in the examination, reaching tens of thousands on the first day alone. However, this also means that there are many people with "duplicate talents". Among them, the competition for "talent in martial arts", "talent in performing arts" and "talent in beauty" is particularly fierce.

Well, compared to other titles like the most beautiful woman in the world, Rhine is more concerned about the situation in the martial arts competition. Just like the navy's martial arts competition in One Piece selected the two monsters Fujitora and Green Bull, Rhine is also looking forward to the world's strongest person who can stand out from tens of thousands of people. After all, he is the strongest in the country, so he can't be too bad.

It was originally scheduled to be completed in one day, but unexpectedly there were too many people participating, and because many people were too far away from the capital, it might take two or three days for them to arrive, so Rhine decided to postpone the selection for a few days.

Regarding the accommodation of the participants, if you don't mind, you can just stay together in the military tents. If you don't mind, you can pay for yourself to stay in a hotel.

"Oh, I'm so tired."

After finishing today's work, Rhine collapsed in Alisha's arms, smelling her pleasant body fragrance.

Alisha pressed Rhine's temples as usual, not caring at all that Rhine's head was rubbing against her fruit.

"Your Majesty, don't move. I'll press it for you."

"OK, thanks."

"Alisha, you are so nice! Why don't you follow me from now on!" Rhine suddenly sat up and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but haven't I already been following you?"

"Emm..." Rhine meant to go to the Penicia continent with him. After all, there were only two days left before his seal was lifted.

Once the seal is lifted, he will have a lot more things to do.

The first thing was to find a way to report safety to my family, otherwise my aunt and Natasha would definitely be worried about me.

The second is to contact Beatrice and the others in the northern continent. After all, he brought them here, so he can't just abandon them, right? And with the support of those adventurers, wouldn't it be easy for him to conquer the entire continent? You know, among those tens of thousands of people, the weakest ones are high-level warriors, and if they were in the Landia continent, they would be at the level of palace captains. With such a strong army, wouldn't it be easy to conquer the entire continent? ?

The third is to participate in the Divine Realm Breakthrough Conference of the Divine Lord, which will have unimaginable benefits for him in the future when he breaks through the Divine Realm. Moreover, if the Divine Lord had not waited for him, he would have broken through long ago, so he could not let him down no matter what.

Fourth, participate in the first limited-time event held by the official. You should know that the top few in the event will have generous rewards, and the first place can get a world! Although Rhine feels that he should not have a chance to win with the Lord God in the first place, not to mention that he is a whole week behind others. This gap is already difficult to catch up, but at least he should get some rewards, right?

The fifth is to attend the briefing for new players. After all, this is one of the tasks assigned to him by his superiors, so he has to go. Rhine remembered that the players of their class waited for half a month in the game space before they gathered 10,000 people, and the number of the second batch of players was 50,000. So it would take at least two months to gather enough people? So there was no rush for this matter.

Sixth, he had to find a way to go back to the Penicia continent, after all, there were still some things that he hadn't finished dealing with there. He remembered both the lawless land and the agreement with the Ruby Demon King. Now, according to the time, there was only one week left before the agreement with the Ruby Demon King. The solution he could think of was to use the teleportation protection attached to the Blazing Wings, but he didn't know how much energy was consumed for the inter-continental super-distance teleportation. He couldn't afford it, and he had to go back and forth. Damn it! He couldn't just go back to the Penicia continent and leave the Landia continent alone, right?

Seventh, he was familiar with the new gameplay after the system update. He was quite interested in hunting demons and conquering dungeons. A man should go down to the 100th floor! In addition, he had to integrate his previous gains. Because until the system maintenance, he had not had time to see what he gained in that battle. It must have been full of useful information, after all, it was a world copy! A copy that required the participation of people from the entire world, but he was able to break through it alone.

Not to mention other rewards, what he was most looking forward to was the big gift pack for the traverser after completing [Main Mission 2: Reaching the Extreme of Humanity], and the big gift pack for completing the hidden mission when changing jobs. This way, he would have two gift packs! I wonder what I will get this time. Rhine's face was full of anticipation, and he couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing about so happily?" Alisha asked.

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."

(ps: 6000 chapters of update, promised to update on weekends. There are 4 chapters left for the bounty. Please recommend, brothers. There are 400 followers, why are there not even 400 recommendation votes every day? One person casts one vote, there should be hundreds, right? If today's recommendation votes exceed 400, I will add another update tomorrow! If tomorrow's number exceeds 400, I will add another update the day after tomorrow! If the day after tomorrow's number exceeds , I will continue the day after tomorrow. But I find it difficult.)

Chapter 5: Title Ban Removed! (k)

Rhine came to the open-air balcony outside the palace with a glass of wine and looked up at the endless night sky filled with stars.
