Chapter 224 Mother and son meet
The process in the game world has come to an end. Scorched Earth City has completed the reunification of the territory. The land, troops and resources harvested will take time to digest. Helot can focus mainly on the world he is in, and Starry Sky will do some things in the game, such as sorting out Master Laem's manuscripts.
Covenant City is still prosperous, but the things that continue to happen at the top make the already tight strings tighter and tighter.
The most eye-catching thing is that people from the northern border of the empire are coming, and there are a lot of people coming.
Since the Duke of Ice and Snow moved his family back to the snowy peaks of the ice mountains, the empire has always sent criminals to the northern frontier as slaves, and the watchmen of the northern frontier have never gone south in large numbers. This time the Ice and Snow Duke sent five hundred watchmen. When they wore animal skins and rode armored bears on the roads of the Covenant City, the sense of oppression coming from the wilderness of the northern border caused all the people and vehicles they encountered to give way. .
The imperial court and government were shaken.
These five hundred watchmen must have been transferred by Snow Princess Maelubelli. Combined with what happened some time ago, Princess Maelubelli killed Earl Secombe among the rust nobles. The rust knights were established by the rust nobles with the permission of the emperor.
It seems that the Ice and Snow family is going to have a private battle with the Rust nobles.
The nobles and officials are waiting for Emperor Bradley's response. After all, the war between two large power groups in the Covenant City will inevitably have a very bad impact.
However, Emperor Bradley ordered the Royal Military Council to arrange military camps for these watchmen, arrange supplies, and allowed Princess Maelubelli to command them.
This is a good show to watch.
Another major news is that Tomorrow Group announced that the "universal steam turbine wheel" has been officially launched on the market. This model of steam engine is priced between 3,000 Imperial Guilder and 20,000 Imperial Guilder depending on the output power. It is a steam engine that ordinary Imperial families can afford to purchase.
Tomorrow Group also held a special exhibition for the "universal steam turbine wheel".
At the meeting, Irina announced the next stage of her itinerary. She will bring a "universal steam engine wheel" and a package of investment plans to the towns in the central and western parts of the empire to let the citizens of the empire there feel What changes can modern technology bring to them?
There is still one month left until the next election of members of the Imperial Parliament. In order to succeed in the election, she must get as many votes as possible.
Even though this trip is full of unknown dangers.
The day before Irina's trip, Herot came to see her under Angelica's arrangement.
In an indoor garden, Irina was pruning the branches of a flower with a pair of scissors. She looked very relaxed and not nervous about the unknown schedule.
Helot walked over, stretched out his hand and cast magic power, and a flower that was still a flower bloomed.
Irina said with some surprise: "Is that necromancy just now? I thought necromancers can only create death."
Helot smiled and said: "That must be your misunderstanding about the necromancer. Death is not only caused by the necromancer, and the necromancer is not only good at necromancy magic."
Irina handed the scissors to Angelica, who was beside her, turned and walked to the coffee table aside. After sitting down, she said to Helot: "I heard Angelica say that you went to the family cemetery again, and this time you stayed there for a long time. Did something happen? Or is it because of your father? "
Helot also sat down: "It's still about taking back the family cemetery. We have reached the second level, and more undead have returned to Clauren. The De family. Let’s not talk about the family cemetery. I have received definite information that someone in the Rust Nobles is cooperating with the Deep Prison. The descendants of the founding Duke who are supposed to be dead are behind the Deep Prison.
The Rust Nobles want to rob Tomorrow. The group may use some sinister means. Your trip this time is very dangerous. Can you send your campaign team to go on your behalf?" Hailot came here to prevent his mother from taking risks.
The Rust Nobles wanted to deal with the Tomorrow Group through the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau, but Chief Couribal refused.
They then prepared to use commercial means to deal with the Tomorrow Group through the Imperial Heavy Industry Committee. As a result, the Tomorrow Group launched a "universal steam engine wheel" at this time. The factories of the Rusty Nobles also want to buy this kind of economical steam engine, so even if they restrict the supply of minerals to the Tomorrow Group, they will still have to pay for the price increase in the end.
And there are many other commercial cooperations between the two companies. Commercial sanctions are hurting the enemy by eight hundred and hurting oneself by one thousand.
Administrative and commercial methods are not available, only assassination is left.
Helot has commissioned the "Grey Light Society" to investigate the assassination plans of the Rusty Nobles and the Deep Prison, but there is no reliable information yet. The best way to avoid danger now is, of course, to cancel the trip.
Or send assistants there.
Irina said: "Since I founded the Tomorrow Group, I have experienced too many dangers to count. The guards who travel with me all have rich experience in dealing with them. You don't have to worry about me, but you are more You need to be careful.
Your identity as the patriarch of the Claude family will be known to more and more people. Some of them will take advantage of you, some will be jealous of you, some will win over you, and some will win over you. There are countless opportunities waiting for you, and there are countless dangers hidden in places you don't know. What you face will only be more complicated than what I faced."
"Why. Now it’s about me. Most people are thinking of using me. There are not many people who want to harm me. Even the emperor and the torturers are wooing me. As long as I don’t do anything that touches their bottom line, I am safe, but you are different...it’s better not to go.”
Irina sighed and said, “I am not representing myself, nor does I represent the support of the Tomorrow Group. The emerging businessmen have invested too much money and resources in me, and they are waiting for me to enter Congress to speak for the emerging businessmen and get more rewards.
There is still a lot of resistance for me to enter Congress, so I have to get enough votes from this trip. If I don't go or just send an assistant, I lose! "
The mother's attitude was firm, and Herot knew that he could not convince her.
"Okay! Do whatever you decide to do. During your trip, I will cause some trouble for the Rust Nobles in Covenant City to distract them. It will also allow the Gray Light Society to continue to collect intelligence and strive to get the assassination plan.
Also, let Aunt Angelica go with you! "
Irina said: "Angelica is undergoing a fourth-generation extraordinary upgrade, and she cannot leave the Covenant City. ”
Helot smiled helplessly and said: "Mother, I understand technology. Aunt Angelica is in the right condition and can travel with you. You put her in Covenant City just to protect me..."
Irina said: "If you can make this kind of judgment, it can only mean that your technology is not good enough. Many of the fourth-generation extraordinary technologies are not perfect. Angelica can only stay in Covenant City in time. Find the problem and solve the problem."
Helot looked at Angelica: "Aunt Angelica, you said... can you leave Covenant City now?"
< br> Just when Angelica was about to answer, Irina said: "I am Angelica's designer, and I know her situation best. Angelica's upgrade has a bearing on whether the group can survive in the future. Nothing can affect her when the war breaks out, and neither can I!"
