The world is indeed changing, in this little-known little part of Serris! Gullo took off the lenses clipped to the bridge of his nose, rubbed his already astringent eyes, and let out a long breath.
He has been serving the Dragontate family all his life, and he doesn't have much time to make decisions on his own. But now, he is glad that he made the right decision, and followed the young Desel here, witnessing the advent of an era.
"It's nonsense!" The next second, he slapped the document in his hand on the table and shouted angrily, startling several waiters who accompanied him to read the document.
"Where is this engaged in production, this is complete nonsense!" Looking at the slightly rough development model of Seris City, Gurlo, who had long been familiar with this kind of thing, said bitterly: "This is a complete mess!" Mess around! ”
The old gentleman, who was in his sixties, jumped out of his chair, rushed out of the room, and trotted all the way to meet Desel who had come out of Chris's study.
The old gentleman was out of breath, grabbed Desser, and said happily: "You have found the treasure!" You've found the treasure! As long as I run it, in a year's time, this is the richest place on the continent! ”
When Desel saw the expression of Mr. Gullo that he brought, he knew that his investment this time was a sure win. So he laughed and threw out the thought of blowing up the nursing home in his previous life just now: "How is it?" Is there any potential? ”
"You're right! The world will change because of this! We will be the richest people in the world! Gullo pinched the information in his hand and said to Desser: "Give me ten days, and I will put together the development plan here......
"Five days!" Behind Desser, Chris leaned against the door frame with a smile and stretched out a palm: "I'll only give you five days!" Now you take office as Minister of Economy of the Duchy of Elleshire! I'll hear your detailed debriefing in five days' time. ”
……
In the brightly lit hall, a military general wearing a gorgeous short shirt and a long sword studded with gems at his waist frowned at the prime minister Clarke, who was still talking eloquently, and asked: "Isn't it a bit too childish for the prime minister to support a principality on the border like this?" ”
His voice was not loud, but it was full of energy. The whole voice echoed in the main hall, and the ups and downs were like music: "Since the Iran Hill family has the ability to conquer Mayne and the ferry in a short time, they naturally have their own capital. Your connivance is sowing a hidden danger to the empire. ”
In the entire empire, there are only a handful of people who dare to talk to Prime Minister Clark like this, and the one in front of him is the uncle of the Arrant Empire, the queen's own brother, and the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, General Locke Zorn.
is both a relative of the emperor and a powerful minister, and the status of this general Zorn is naturally half a step higher than that of Prime Minister Clark. His words Clark could only be cautious, lest he fall into any tricks.
But as the prime minister, Clark is naturally not an easy role to handle, he has many doormen behind him, and there are also countless supporters, and General Zorn has to respect his opinion most of the time.
These two men were both literate and martial, one controlled the government and the other was rooted in the army, and divided most of the power of the entire Arrant Empire, and were called "uncrowned double kings" by the people.
Prime Minister Cleke, who was the "King of Wen", waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a sneer: "General Zorn is still too cautious, behind us is the Holy Demon Empire, are you worried that a small principality dares to go against the Holy Demon Empire?" ”
"I heard that the kid of the Irlanhill family used a weapon comparable to magic in this war...... General Zorn, who was called the "Warrior King" by the people below, did not have the slightest intention of compromising, and opened his mouth to question: "If they really have this kind of weapon...... Then we have to be on guard. ”
"Since the general has said this, let's say a solution." Clark remained unhurried, as if there was nothing in this world that he cared about. He had just eaten Desser's 200,000 gold coins, so he naturally wanted to stand on Dessell's side and speak.
As a prime minister, this bit of credibility is still there. After all, he took the money of the Dragontete family, and he still had to do something more or less, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the Dragontate family, nor to his other supporters.
can be the prime minister of the empire, Clark is not a fool who is greedy for money, he has his own considerations.
Watching a principality rise to prominence on the frontier is something that no empire wants to see, and the Arrantic Empire is no exception. But why was Clark willing to agree to Desel's conditions so that Iran Hill was established?
In fact, the reason is very simple, the first is that this principality accepted the exploitation of the Arrant at the beginning of its establishment, and accepted the "condition" of tax tribute of 50,000 gold coins a year. The second is because the Arrant Empire has the support of the Holy Demon Empire, a magical empire, and is not afraid of any provocation by any mortal army.
There is no mortal army in this world that can resist the attack of the dragon knight army head-on, it only takes a simple war for the powerful mortal kingdom to be wiped out, and the Arrant Empire is not afraid of the rise of a small principality at all.
Because of this, Prime Minister Clark sat back and watched the rise of Iran Hill after getting his own benefits and ensuring the benefits of the empire.
"Let the Ellens surrender these weapons!" The general had already thought about it, and naturally replied quickly: "Get those weapons back, and we'll study them carefully." If these weapons can really be compared to magic, then make them the weapons of the Arrant Empire! ”
"That's no problem, as the commander of the imperial army, you also have command over the troops of the border principalities, and you ordered them to send weapons to the imperial capital, isn't it over?" Although Clark supported the establishment of the Duchy of Irlanhill, he was not obligated to favor it.
Being able to fight for Iran Hill to this point was already the limit of what the 200,000 gold coins could do, so he directly threw the problem to the general, and made a posture that it was not his business.
In his opinion, he has fulfilled his obligations, and the rest of the matter is the general of the empire, and the reproach of Iran Hill - there is a way to solve it, and then send gold coins to let him fight for Iran Hill.
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, the general had a look of satisfaction on his face, he nodded, no longer challenged Clark about the issue of Iran Hill, and then said something else: "The Dosen Empire in the south seems to be strengthening its forces on the border. ”
"The Holy Demon Empire has increased our taxes and made us pay more magic concentrates, and it seems that the life of the Dosen Empire is not very easy." Clark sighed and said to General Locke Zorn.
The reason why the Arrant Empire can become a powerful mortal empire is inseparable from the support of the Holy Demon Empire, and the support of the Holy Demon Empire is based on magic concentrate ore.
Because the Mortal Empire has no magical energy, it is not suitable for magicians to live for a long time, so the Magical Empire is unwilling to directly rule these mortal empires, but in these places without magical energy, some mineral deposits are half-born with magical essence.
These concentrates are the materials needed by magicians for alchemy or cultivation, and the consumption is very huge, so those countries with magic concentrates in their territories have become the target of extortion by the Magic Empire. In turn, these mortal nations that have been blackmailed by the Magic Empire can also rely on the support of the Magic Empire to extort other countries around them.
Countless magical concentrates have been mined and transported to the borders of the Magic Empire, where they are paid to the many Magic Empires as a mortal protection fee. And these magic empires don't have to pay any price, all they have to do is laugh and accept.
For these magical empires, the only reason for the existence of mortals who cannot cultivate magic is to mine the mines in the demonless realm for them. These mortals are no different from livestock in their eyes, consumables that can be discarded at will.
In a way, these mortals who can't practice magic are not as valuable as those magical beasts that can be used as mounts.
Layer by layer of oppression and exploitation have become the iron laws of the endless operation of this world, and they have also become shackles that mortals cannot break free. There have been countless heroes who have tried to break the iron law and break free from the shackles, but they have all failed. They were all bones built under iron laws, and their names were carved into their shackles as a terrible curse.
Every time a mortal rebels, there will be a river of blood. The dragon knights of the Magic Empire can easily destroy an entire infantry phalanx, and the combat power of both sides is completely not on the same level.
"We both have magic essences, and if the Dosen Empire declares war on us, the Holy Demon Empire will definitely sit idly by......," General Zorn gritted his teeth and said, "So I have already mobilized troops to go south - the Dosun Empire should know that they can't bargain with us!" ”
Nodding, Prime Minister Clark breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In terms of war, the empire depends entirely on you, the general...... His Majesty the Emperor has recently been in ......"
"I see." With a wave of his hand, General Zorn interrupted Prime Minister Clark's words: "I know that His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health, so don't bother Your Majesty with this kind of trivial matter, we can just deal with it." ”
After speaking, he walked to the gate with his sword: "As for the matter on Iran Hill's side, I will deal with it, and I won't bother the Prime Minister!" ”
"Humph!" Prime Minister Clark, who was interrupted, snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and waited for the door of the conference hall to be closed, before he lowered his voice and muttered: "I see that you can still be crazy for a few days!" Bastard! ”
