Chapter Eighty-Six: Firewood

Maryhill City, British Empire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The city is not, if not one of the largest cities on the current map of the Empire, but it is famous.

Mary Hill City is famous for its fireworks that are dumped all over the world every year, and are popular among young men and women from wealthy families. Of course, others don't know that even the locals of Maryhill City rarely see the fireworks extravaganza, but it doesn't prevent them from imagining and revering it.

Of course, the special product is only one of the reasons why Mary Hill City is famous, and the remaining prestige of Mary Hill City is completely based on iron and blood that has nothing to do with romance! Mary Hill City's "Zeta Musket Team" is famous all over the country, and once resisted the charge of 500 elite cavalry with 200 musketeers! And the city lord Tanya Mary Hill is a representative of the upper nobility, the only countess who dares to refuse the royal family's marriage, and I heard that she once castrated a prince who tried to violate her!

This city is definitely the famous city of the Empire's Northland!

Its handicrafts, heavy industry, and even commerce, and even other peripheral industries, are also quite developed, and they are definitely above the level!

Mary Hill is the only non-mega city with branches in all three major banks.

The development of its industry and commerce, on the whole, can rank in the top ten, or even the top five positions in the country, and the tax revenue driven by various emerging industries can rank among the top three in China!

Of course, under the cover of a hundred flowers in various emerging industries, more once flourishing groups have been scattered in the mud.

In Mary Hill City, as many as the lucky ones who got rich overnight, there are capitalists who went bankrupt overnight, and many more unemployed people who have nothing to do!

The current empire is obviously going downhill, which is the general trend, not the direction of a certain wind in a certain city. Even in Maryhill City, the majority of the city is still the common people living in the civilian areas, and the poor people who are dying of starvation in the slums are far more than the rich and luxurious!

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road! This is the current situation of the empire today!

In the British Empire, the unemployment rate of adult civilians was much higher than the employment rate, and almost every year a large number of civilians were left homeless, and in Maryhill, too, the slums had become more and more crowded before the gentry had noticed!

As for the civilians who are about to become homeless and have not yet had time to settle in the garbage dump, they are often more daring to take risks than the real homeless, and have always been the biggest opponents of urban security.

These people can often do anything for the sake of an illusory opportunity. You can even give everything you have for a verbal promise from a superior or some empty call from someone with ulterior motives. Both physically and mentally!

The lord of Maryhill City, Ms. Tanya, has been suffering from this for a long time, and it has undoubtedly become even more of a headache recently as an underground organization called the "Workers' and Peasants' Federation" has quietly become popular!

In the market area, near Prosperity Boulevard, there is a medium-sized warehouse dedicated to storing all kinds of miscellaneous goods, belonging to three medium-sized commercial houses.

Few people know that these three medium-sized commercial banks are all local subsidiaries of Huaying Bank, one of the three major banks, and more than 50% of their internal shares are owned by Huaying Bank!

Compared with this bit of trade secret, probably fewer people know that it is this inconspicuous warehouse that is the biggest stronghold of the "Workers' and Peasants' Federation" that is now making a lot of noise in the city!

And probably no one will ever know that the initiator of the "Workers' and Peasants' Union", whose slogan is to call on the common people and the poor to "self-improvement and self-love", is not a representative of some outstanding workers, but a capitalist of all evils -- Kunma!

Kunma, the general affairs assistant of the local Huaying Bank, was originally the second-most powerful person who assisted the bank president in managing the bank, equivalent to the general manager. However, with its special background, Kunma's power has always been greater than that of the president of the local Huaying Bank. Especially in the recent period, Kunma has intensified, treating the bank as his own private property, and wantonly suppressing dissidents, and the entire bank basically has nothing to do with the president!

Under Ling Qi's wrist, he easily seized power. Of course, this caused a lot of backlash, and a certain president even directly contacted the headquarters, and even appealed to the board of directors! However, with the reply from the headquarters and the reprimand of the board of directors, the little branch manager finally accepted a certain fact with a face like dirt, and Kunma, a sinister and despicable villain, was not something he could provoke at all!

At the same time, of course, Ling Qi also received a warning from the "upline", but he didn't take it seriously at all, and went his own way, covering the sky with one hand on that one-acre and three-third of land, wantonly losing public funds, bribing cronies, and being majestic for a while!

Ling Qi is an outsider, a real superior, and these money and power have no meaning to him, but this does not mean that he can't form a party for personal gain!

Of course, he didn't do this to get rich, or to shout at the end of the road, "I don't care about the flood after I die." He has his own purpose, he wants to use some "reasonable" means to increase the weight of "Ling Qi" in the eyes of the master! This seems to be contrary to the purpose of sneaking back into the reincarnation space, but in fact it is not, because only in the sun, will there be deep shadows!

For example, the "open-ended task" with a "fixed goal" performed by Ling Qi, the original "Ling Qi", obviously did not know how to do it, in order to maximize the reward. He didn't even have a clue how to complete the task.

Ling Qi knew very well that in order to make the evaluation of the task more after completion, he must try to do as much as possible on the basis of being able to complete the task!

For example, follow the destiny of heaven and become a key figure in pushing the wheel of history forward!

For example, going against the sky and simply destroying the original history of this world. Or even overthrow the existing order and re-establish a new order from the ruins!

Whether it is good or bad, as long as you do it and succeed, you can improve your evaluation, and the latter often increases your evaluation by a greater margin!

If "Kunma" can lead the commoners and peasants to overthrow the imperial family of the empire in advance and usher in a new era, then the reward points that Ling Qi can obtain will probably be astronomical!

Of course, that is very unrealistic, because the original Ling Qi ability is limited, and even if it is successful, the time required is calculated in years!

One hundred days, at most, can only open a corner of the curtain of this curtain, in fact, nothing can be done!

As for the current Ling Qi, if he uses real means, of course, he can do it easily, but this is not in his interests. With the help of sunlight to form a shadow, not to expose yourself directly to the sun!

In the name of Huaying Bank, Ling Qi requisitioned the treasury near Glory Avenue. The location of the storeroom is not very secretive, but it fits the fulcrum of the future, it is the dim under the lamp!

Then, Ling Qi only used some small means to make more people unemployed, and with only a little agitation, he gathered many bankrupt handicraftsmen and unemployed workers and lured them into joining the "workers' and peasants' associations"!

At the same time, Ling Qi manipulated behind the scenes, hired gunmen, and secretly propagated the class revolution under the slogan of self-improvement.

He also formulated the so-called development plan, the first step was to encourage the workers to rely on strikes and other means to coerce the capitalists into compromise! That crazy future was immediately accepted by more people!

Rebellion can burn like a prairie and burn everything. It can also be imperceptible like water, seeping into the foundation!

Of course, he did not want to let a major event that will inevitably happen in the future be staged in this era in advance.

He just wanted to improve the evaluation after the task was completed, and he didn't care about the life or death of those chess pieces, the so-called great cause, at all!

These things are all things that "Ling Qi" can do, but he definitely can't think of it, and he won't dare to do it!

In fact, all these things that were staged in advance will inevitably end in a fiasco! Because although the empire has begun to set in the west, it is still far from being eroded and terminally ill!

Unless there is really a third party willing to make great efforts to nurture that eye-catching seedling, the final result of any "workers' and peasants' federation" is that it will be easily wiped out by the army, and it will only leave a bloody page in the course of history, which may be able to play a certain warning or leading role for future generations.

The empire is now embattled, and in the eyes of many people, this is already a great time to do something! Even similar things are not only done by Ling Qi, but also by some people in other cities! Even the aristocratic class has long had a discordant note of disobedience to the royal family, and the Mary Hill family is one of the representatives!

It's just that even if it is as strong as the Mary Hill family, they don't dare to really confront the empire, what can they do if they are just civilians?

The army of the empire is enough to deal with foreign enemies, but it is not soft to kill civilians!

However, in the face of naked interests, those who can see this clearly are limited to a certain class in this era, and there are almost none!

Leaving aside the future, just looking at the present, the sudden union of the workers' and peasants' associations did catch some capitalists a little off guard, and even Ms. Tanya was surprised, secretly frightened, and became worried!

A general trend of the "workers' movement" began to stir up a surging undercurrent in Maryhill City!

The initiator, Ling Qi, has already picked himself up and hid at home every day to train the little girl, not caring at all about the outcome of the incident, including all kinds of troubles that may be brought to him!

He did it with his hand, not for any perfect result!

He did so much to make "Ling Qi" more valued by the master, and at the same time, it could also make the "fire" on Alyssa's body be ignited earlier and burn more violently!

How can one person's hope and one's future be compared to the hope of an era and the future of countless people?

The future is firewood, hope is the flame!

Only when the flame is so blazing that even the future is burned out, creating something out of nothing, forcibly reversing, instead of just burning a part of the bad future, leading the individual to the desired and seemingly miraculous but still destined direction, can it be coveted by Ling Qi, a rebel!

In the realm of mountains and seas, Zhang Yan looked at a letter that broke through the air in front of him, countless fragments flashed in his eyes, and finally froze on a man's face.

"Do you want me to set a precedent and change the future of the entire mountain and sea world?"

"Oh, what's in it for me!"

Zhang Yan did not hesitate to destroy the "letter"!

He is very clear about his positioning, he is a monk, a monk who is dedicated to seeking immortality, and he cannot be distracted from this!

It's just that when Zhang Yan completely erased the traces of this invisible book, Zhang Yan, who had always behaved very indifferently and detachedly, suddenly leaned forward in surprise and stared at a certain position in the void!

In the void, infinitely far away, a little spark is coming!

At the same time, Ling Qi's Doug incarnation finally met with Emperor Elfa and successfully acted as a messenger.

For this, he will pay a great price, because he is a special messenger and must mislead the human emperor in some way. If this is done, once this is done, this avatar of his will no longer be able to stay on the main planet of Alpha and learn its advanced technology!

Moreover, I am afraid that the relationship between him and Elfa that has eased up a little is also likely to intensify in a short period of time!

"Hmm, that's what you call the Flame of Hope?"

Standing high on the throne, looking down at the Emperor Elfa, holding the little spark in his hand, he asked lightly.

The location and time of the two of them are not very clear!

Because this is the most mysterious temple of chaos in the Alpha Palace, there are no walls or anything superfluous around it.

In addition to the ground, as far as the eye can see, there is the human emperor who lives in the center of chaos, and the unpredictable chaotic time and space!

"Yes, this is the spark of hope, the spark of hope!"

"I believe that this gift will definitely satisfy Your Majesty!"

Ling Qi said lightly, without any emotion on his face.

"Of course, in order to let Your Majesty better understand this fate and the flame of hope, I, the incarnation, am afraid to contribute. ”

"It's a pity that I still don't know much about the advanced culture of the Ru people. As far as I know, I believe what I've done before has paid off enough!"

"You know, at the level of you and me, the principle of fair trade is very important!"

"Therefore—"

Ling Qi meant something, and the human emperor with a vague face did not refute what he said about contributing to the incarnation and the like, but only groaned slightly, and quickly nodded.

"You're right!"

As soon as the words fell, a streamer of light came from top to bottom, penetrating Ling Qi's incarnation.

Ling Qi didn't stop him, he believed in this emperor, or he believed in his value in the eyes of this emperor.

The superiors like to weigh and are good at weighing, but in contrast, it is he, a lone wanderer, who inevitably seems to be bent on doing what he wants, just for the huge interests, and he can't take care of it.

Sure enough, the streamer that ran through Ling Qi did not cause him any substantial damage, but instead instilled a lot of knowledge in him, some of which he could understand in an instant, and some that even he felt profound!

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later, estimating that Ling Qi could barely comprehend the value of that knowledge, that Emperor Elfa continued:

"So, dear guest, I hope we have a chance to meet next time!"

The Human Emperor said this, his faintly fluctuating spirit, indicating that he was about to make a move and plunder everything of this incarnation, including memories.

This is the proper meaning, since Ling Qi has made it clear, the human emperor himself also has this meaning, so why bother to be hypocritical. If the Flame of Hope is really as magical as Ling Qi said, this is the real Kui Bao. Besides, the Emperor had already given a certain amount of reward just now, and this reward was even too much, and the information directly involved many confidential studies of the El Legal Person, so it was impossible for Ling Qi to take them all away.

In this kind of thing, both sides have a tacit understanding, and the giving and getting should not be swayed by greed. When Ling Qi made a request for fair trade, Emperor Elfa actually recognized it and would directly instill a large amount of esoteric knowledge into Ling Qi. This kind of indoctrination not only involves a lot of secrets, but also causes some harm to the emperor himself. Only by completely devouring the incarnation of this carrier can the Human Emperor get everything back. As for Ling Qi, just relying on a little aura condensed after the annihilation of the incarnation, even if it didn't come with any specific information, it wouldn't be a loss!

It's fair, the Emperor thinks so!

To talk about accidents, such as Ling Qi's incarnation slipping away, or re-establishing contact with the body, or leaking secrets, the Human Emperor didn't think about these issues. He didn't trust Ling Qi's character, but his own means, because this was not an ordinary space, but a chaotic domain that had been divided, a chaotic place!

The land of time and space, the land of reincarnation, the land of chaos, the land of dreams...

In this world, there are too many magical places, and within the scope of its domain, the individuals who enter it can be completely isolated, and the one who masters the core of these regions is the master!

The Land of Chaos has long been shattered, but in this fragmented world, the Human Emperor is the all-powerful master!

The destructive power that filled this hall began to press towards Ling Qi, and the Human Emperor was still very careful, even if the energy level of the existence in front of him was much lower than him, but after all, it came from a strong man at the Tianzun level, and he was steadily stronger than him, God knows if there was a secret method that could harm him!

The emperor of man is a golden body, even if it is one-on-one and face-to-face communication, it must be perfect. For example, this Temple of Chaos is very good!

However, the human emperor, who was both vigilant and indifferent, quickly stood up angrily!

Because Ling Qi smiled at him, he was annihilated in an instant!

The Emperor of People, nothing was taken from him!

The Human Emperor did not believe that he had a way to bypass the chaotic order and get in touch with the ontology and doppelganger of the outside world! But the facts were in front of him, and he could not be allowed not to believe it! If it were not for this, how could the other party have such a lose-lose move, which harmed others and was not beneficial to himself!

The Human Emperor quickly sat down again, his face still blurred, but like a silent volcano, and then let out a sneer!

The respect of the human emperor, how can it be so easy to be deceived.

In the new world, in the Pantheon, Ling Qi's body summoned a spiritual light out of thin air, which was the crystallization of some annihilation, the last condensed!

"It's a pity!"

Ling Qi swallowed this bit of aura, and found that there was really not much useful information in it, and there was nothing left about the advanced technology of the El Fa and the like, and there was not a single useful thing left!

Ling Qi didn't sigh either, although he was a little disappointed, that's all. There will be no pie in the sky very often, and you will eat as much cake as you have the ability.

Besides, he didn't believe in the cautious Human Emperor, he didn't do anything to those messages, and he didn't believe that even if he didn't do anything and obediently let the other party devour him, the incarnation that already carried the wrong perception of the flame of hope would be able to completely win the trust of the Human Emperor!
