Chapter 4 Leaflets
Wilson, Wilson Sletty.
He is the mayor of this port city.
Wilson was sitting in an unnamed restaurant, and in front of him were Carlo's rival, Srein, and his father.
Srein's father was a nobleman, and his ancestors had been the great nobles who had ruled the city for generations.
But the country of steel has changed too much over the years.
The rapid development of magic machines, as well as the prevalence of magic nets in the land of steel, led to the rapid awakening of the people's consciousness.
Fortunately, the top brass of the Iron Nation are not pedantic people, and the top brass is even very willing to accept such changes.
So a series of decrees issued by Empress Yekana were like a precise scalpel... Knife after knife, the power of the aristocracy was cut off and stripped away, and those who were capable of governing the country were ceded to those who were capable of governing the country, and a more equitable political system was established.
Wilson is the beneficiary of this political system, and seven or eight years ago there was no such thing as a town hall in Willan.
Everything in Weilan is up to Srein's family.
But since Empress Ekana's decree was issued, the city has ushered in the city hall, which is responsible for urban planning and construction.
Wilson, a commoner-born spellcaster who had graduated with honors from the Royal Academy in the Iron Country, jumped on the bandwagon and was appointed mayor of the city of Willan.
The Srein family, who had once been invincible in the city, now needed to consult with him about what to do.
"Fair and just cooperation with this papal election was originally the intention of His Majesty Yekana, you don't need to bribe me like this, and the venue planning of the lecture tour is also my business."
Wilson didn't come to the appointment to accept bribes...
The implementation of a series of decrees in the Iron Nation is also indispensable to the iron-fisted control of Empress Ekana, and if he is found out with a little bribe, he may be sentenced to death.
Moreover, Wilson was a truly patriotic and ambitious man, and the city made great strides in both people's livelihood and economic development under his rule.
"Then Your Excellency, you are here for an appointment this time..."
Srein's father was also unusually humble and unassuming.
Wilson did take most of the power away from them, but the Srein family was unable to resist the higher-ups.
However, now relying on the accumulation of the previous nobles is not bad, and the Srein family can swallow even if they have complaints.
Really smart people know how to live in harmony with the torrent of history, instead of fighting against the torrent and eventually becoming cannon fodder and washing away.
Srein's father is that smart man, and Mayor Wilson is also a smart man, so Weilan can develop so quickly, and the Srein family also retains a considerable voice in the city.
"It might be a little hard to say."
Mayor Wilson put down his fork and looked at Srein, who was sitting next to him.
"What do you want, but you have also said that only the cooperation between the town hall and our family can further the prosperity of Wilan and satisfy the great Empress Ekana." Srein's father noticed the change in Mayor Wilson's expression.
It was a very ashamed expression, a mature middle-aged man would never show such an expression in front of outsiders, or a superior like Wilson.
Don't... The upright mayor is finally willing to accept a bribe from the Srein family?
"Truth be told, my daughter has been begging me lately... Ask for a copy of your son's signature. ”
Mayor Wilson uttered these words, with a sigh, that had made him a little disgraced and made Srein's father freeze in place.
Srein's father wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, and his face was serious.
"Srein, this boy can be admired by his own looks, the daughter of Lord Wilson... This is an honor for our family! Srein fast! Sign all the signatures as required by His Excellency Wilson! ”
At his father's urging, Sray took the notebook from Mayor Wilson.
"Sign the first page of this notebook, just write something."
Mayor Wilson was still very ashamed when he made this instruction.
He, a man in his forties, was called by his daughter to ask for an autograph from a young boy in his twenties.
If this is replaced by any man who is in charge of the house, I am afraid that he will scold his daughter first.
But Mayor Wilson loves his daughter very much, and basically he will meet any request of his daughter, and is even willing to pull down his face for his daughter to ask this young man for an autograph.
"Your Excellency Wilson and your daughter are so interested in my child, I can arrange for him and your daughter to meet alone." Srein's father didn't miss this great opportunity.
If he can marry the children of the mayor's family, maybe the family's control of Weilan will be back to the past.
"There's no need for this, I hope my daughter's feelings for your son only stop at admiration..."
Mayor Wilson took the autograph book handed over by Srein, and resumed his calm and solemn mayoral posture again.
"She is still young this year, she is not yet old enough to talk about marriage, she just has an idol to admire, and I think it is reasonable to want an autograph." Mayor Wilson said.
"Nasrein will try to be a good example to your daughter!"
Srein's father was also a smart man, and when he heard that Mayor Wilson's daughter was still young, he didn't force her to marry.
Seven or eight years ago, it was normal for the Iron Nation to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but under the leadership of Empress Ekana, young people of this age were thrown into the magic academy as much as possible, whether they were commoners or nobles.
"yes, good example."
Mayor Wilson liked the word and toasted to Srein's father.
The word idol also spread along with the magic web, and Mayor Wilson was more open-minded about this new thing.
As long as his daughter is chasing a high-quality idol who has excellent skills and can correctly guide her to have upward values, Mayor Wilson will not object to his daughter's star-chasing behavior.
I hope Srein can deserve this expectation of a capable quality idol.
…………
Located outside the Rursk Primary Academy of Magic.
Herlan was dressed up and standing outside the school gate, holding a freshly printed flyer, waiting for the students to get out of class.
The development of the magic network has promoted the further development of the world's printing industry, such as color picture printing, which is the magic technology of jumping the science and technology tree, has been pointed out.
Carlo held the frighteningly high-resolution flyer and kept wondering if he had traveled back in time.
"Lord Carlo, we shouldn't be doing anything bad, are we?"
Herlan looked at the poster in his hand with the sticker on the head of his opponent, Srein.
She couldn't figure out what Carlo was trying to do, but looking at the innocent smiles of the children in this magic academy, Herlan felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
"Since the papal election is an activity permitted by the Iron Country, this kind of propaganda is of course reasonable and legal, and the only people who are interested in this leaflet are Srein's followers, and we will not accidentally hurt innocent people."
Carlo's smooth voice rang in Helland's ears, and the text message also had the function of voice communication.
The strongest thing is that this voice communication is in the words of the mind, similar to spiritual communication.
"Accidental injury... Innocent people? ”
Hearing this, Herlan felt even worse in his heart, how could the simple work of distributing leaflets to believers be involved in accidentally injuring innocent people.
Could it be that the people who got the flyers were... Victim?
When Herlan thought so, the first victim soon appeared.
"Isn't this a poster for Lord Srein?"
A young girl suddenly ran up to Herlan because there was an enlarged poster of a flyer in her hand attached to Herlan's side.
So the fans who cheered for Srein under the podium that day could see the oversized poster at a glance.
"And the flyer, are you also a follower of Lord Srein?"
The girl behaved unusually innocently, and when she saw the leaflet in Herland's hand, she seemed to think of Herland as one of her kind.
"Of course I don't..."
"Say yes to me!"
Just as Herlan was about to retort, Carlo's tough command rang out in the text call.
This choked Herran's throat.
Humiliation... She is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Sage Magic Academy, and she is still forced to say that she is a fan of this kind of little fresh meat idol?
I knew that on the day of graduation, she would stay in Nolan and go to the Land of Frost, and what was wrong with going to Falosi, but she was going to come to the Land of Steel to be the head maid of the Agata family?
The hatred of regret echoed in Herlan's heart, and it was useless.
Carlo is her master, and she must complete her master's task perfectly.
"It's... Yes. ”
Herlan's facial features twisted together, but he still tried to hold back a kind-looking smile.
"Me too! My name is Vile Sletty! What about you, big sister? ”
The girl seemed very excited, and took the leaflet in Herlan's hand and introduced her name.
"Don't be in such a hurry, there's a group of Srein support on the flyer, you can get to know it if you add it... Wait, Sleti? ”
The first half of Herlan's sentence is a repetition of Carlo's words, and it is also to complete the business targets given by Carlo.
But she reflected where she had heard the surname Sleti.
Soon she recognized the true identity of the girl in front of her!
Isn't this the mayor's daughter?
"Miss Sletty may be a little presumptuous, can you give me back that leaflet?" Herlan grabbed the flyer in her hand and tried to take it back.
"Why? Didn't you send it to me? ”
The girl showed extraordinary stubbornness, clutching the leaflet in her hand and refusing to let go.
"That's true, but I suddenly found out in my conscience that your age is better suited to focus on your studies than on chasing such idols without any nutrition." Herland said.
"You are not allowed to say that, Lord Srein!"
The girl suddenly became very angry as if her tail had been stepped on by Herland.
"Herlan! What are you doing? Carlo also discovered that his little maid was inexplicably and... Victim tug-of-war.
The quality of the flyer in their hands was a little too fast to hold, and between the two of them, the face of 'Srein' on the flyer already had a tendency to crack.
"Master, this little girl is the mayor's daughter! I don't know what evil plans you have, but you can't get the mayor's daughter involved, can you? Herlan responded.
"The mayor's daughter?"
Carlo's voice was hesitant, but soon there was something that gave Herlan a headache.
"Wouldn't that be better! Herlan give her the flyer! ”
It's the master's task again, and I don't care what will happen in the end.
And the mayor's daughter's bodyguard also came over when he saw that the situation was wrong.
Herlan was forced to let go of the leaflet in his hand.
The girl had not complained to Herlan before she had been taken away by her guards.
"Hey!" Herlan finally called out to the guard, reminding her, "It's best to let her focus on her studies!" ”
"It's none of your business."
After the guard replied to this sentence, he took the girl and got into a magic guide car with him.
