Chapter 471: The Rise of Freemasonry
In the northernmost city in the western part of the empire, in the city of Buylis, the "City of Hope" that serves as the headquarters of the Freemasonry, an airship without any sign has been raised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And on this airship, Xia Zhe, who got a rare vacation, was carried...... and his companions.
"Hey! Make no mistake, why are you all here, Alwyn, the others don't seem to have been to Tucky Town. Xia Zhe covered his face and looked at the crowded airship, only to feel that Aunt Susan must have been in shock when she saw these women...... No, the shock must end up being yourself......
"It's over, it seems that this time it's a lot of bad luck......
Xia Zhe's pessimism on his side can't stop the warm atmosphere in the entire airship, although in the eyes of others, these women are a little too enthusiastic, but it is undeniable that so many women with different beauties are the focus of people no matter where they are placed.
At this moment, the women of the Rutgers, who were crowded into this medium-sized airship, in addition to Xia Zhe's usual teammate Golia, also had a coma for a long time, but woke up to find that she had broken through to the S-class. The blood successor girl who has always regarded herself as Xia Zhe's adjutant, Michelle. The only imperial princess in the world who dares to let Xia Zhe "cut herself", Dani, of course, and her handsome middle-aged handsome guy Christian.
As for why these women squeezed into the airship anyway, it has to start with the letter sent by Aunt Susan to Xia Zhe.
In fact, as early as after Xia Zhe read the letter, Goliath felt that the content of the letter could no longer be known to others, because it contained the future "happiness" of some of them.
It's a pity that the content of the letter was quickly spread, and Xia Zhe seemed to only plan to go back alone and not take anyone with him.
How could Golia let Xia Zhe get her wish, so she took the initiative to ask to look at Xia Zhe, and wanted to go back with him to meet the "parents" on the grounds of "preventing Xia Zhe from exceeding his vacation time".
However, Golia is not the only one who has a plan, even Alvin, who has completely degenerated into a "stupid", has secretly prepared dry food for several months and piled it up at the door of Xia Zhe. It is clear that the intentions of the female knight speak for themselves.
As for other women, they also took a long vacation like Old Locke, and even like Black Rose, Concubine Xiang and others directly stilted their jobs and squatted at Xia Zhe's door 24 hours a day to prevent him from sneaking other women away.
That's it, on the day Xia Zhe left, the airship that took off was forced to change from the original small and fast model to a medium-sized sightseeing model. Originally, the journey of two months back and forth was increased to more than four months.
However, when looking at the noisy and crowded cabin in front of him, Xia Zhe, who had an "embarrassed face", had a sense of pride in returning home in the depths of his heart, even if they were always fighting with each other and always causing trouble for themselves, but he was enjoying it in this kind of painful and happy world.
"It turns out that unconsciously, there are so many friends and partners around me who can give everything for it, maybe it's all because of Aunt Susan's work back then. After all, if it weren't for Aunt Susan's forced eviction, maybe I would still be nesting in a dilapidated house in the most remote mountain village on the mainland, counting the stars in the night sky. How can there be such a wonderful life?"
……
To get back to the point, the people who accompanied Xia Zhe to Tuqi Town this time were basically the most idle group of Freemasons, except for Golia, Willy and Anna.
And the old Locke, who remained in the city of Buylis, suddenly found that without those troublemakers, the whole Freemasonry seemed to become more efficient, and countless things seemed to be solved at once.
Therefore, he was very confident that in the months since Xia Zhe left, the Freemasons would become stronger, even if their enemies had begun to move.
But fortunately, although Xia Zhe left with a few top combat powers, the members who joined the Freemasons this year also supported the framework of the entire organization, especially the considerable number of blood successors who applied for refuge, so that the bottom combat power of the Freemasonry was enriched all at once, and it was not like at the beginning, there was a feeling of being top-heavy.
Moreover, the mysterious organization that Xia Zhe told him also made him think about it for a long time, after all, the destruction of the dark war group, that organization also had to pay at least half of the responsibility.
Therefore, the elder Locke regarded the task of investigating the mysterious organization as the third most important task of Freemasonry, the first is to save others, and the second is to develop the West.
Of course, the various troops left behind by Xia Zhe in the western territory are also a headache, and those professional soldiers in the empire have no way to dismiss them, after all, without the restraint of the army, no one knows what those guys who can only use knives will do.
Moreover, the peasant soldiers led by Abbott cannot all be disbanded, because they represent Xia Zhe's concept, and at the same time, as a symbol of the autonomy of the Western Territory...... Of course, it's just going to the battlefield, and whether you can win the battle is another matter.
In addition to these two professional armies, there are many combat structures similar to mercenary squads.
And these are all money-burning things, and if they had relied on Freemasonry alone, it is estimated that they would have been dragged down by the huge financial expenditure.
Originally, the new emperor of the empire, Caimmorton wanted to support the Freemasons, but at Xia Zhe's insistence, the Freemasons instead proposed a new way to get along with the Empire.
That is trade, led by the Thorn Flower Merchants of Lottis, forming a business group that only travels to and from the top of each country, only doing business between countries, weapons, food, luxury goods, everything is their business domain.
However, just like this, it still can't solve the murderous money-burning ability in the west, so Xia Zhe also came up with the idea of doing business with the barbarians in the north and the southern tribes, especially with Xia Zhe's old friends "Lava" tribe and "Broken Night" tribe taking the lead, Xia Zhe easily entered the world's most profitable "crystal stone" project.
And the first big customer of the Thorn Flower Merchant Group after accepting these businesses was the president of the World Magister Alliance, Feng Buren, who was frightened by Xia Zhe.
With a supply of goods and customers, Freemasonry barely managed to make ends meet.
It's a pity that Xia Zhe, as the president, doesn't know anything about all this, even if he has been busy this year, he is just inspecting everywhere as a "mascot" to boost morale.
You must know that in the entire western realm, Xia Zhe's image is about to be deified, and many grassroots farmers even take it as glory to touch the corners of Xia Zhe's clothes. However, it is precisely because of this that Xia Zhe has to explain to the local people for most of the day every time he goes to a place, which is quite brain-consuming.
But now, Xia Zhe got his wish to take a year's belated vacation, and Old Locke finally sent away the leaders who had made Freemasonry inefficient, and now, at least for a few months, the two sides will have a pretty good time.
In the future, the influence of Freemasonry is sure to surprise everyone.
