Chapter 395
Tolkien looked at the quail-like kings of the kingdom, and for the first time his heart was sad.
The kingdom's national policy of supporting the Chaman Empire has long been decided, but the major empires only exerted a little pressure, and everyone panicked, as if they were about to suffer a catastrophe if they didn't find a master quickly.
They have forgotten, forgotten what the Baraks had paid to make their voices heard.
Tolkien sighed, and no longer went around in circles, but directly ordered: "From this day on, the Barak Kingdom has officially entered a state of war! ”
"Sikot, count all the noble private armies in the kingdom and the number of mercenary groups they have, and prepare for unified requisition. ”
The Minister of War, Sikort, was stunned when he heard this, and then asked with some hesitation, "What ......is this?" Wouldn't this be too radical, it's not yet to that point, in case it arouses the displeasure of the nobles......"
"Hmph! dissatisfied?" Tolkien immediately sneered, "Who is dissatisfied with you letting him come to me!"
Sikot smiled bitterly, but didn't speak again.
Sirkot knew Tolkien well, and since he had said this in public today, he had absolutely no intention of taking it back.
It's just that now that the national crisis is currently underway, is it really appropriate to directly use such drastic measures without easing the situation at all?
Sikot asked hesitantly, "What about the Atlanta City ......side?"
"What's wrong with Atlanta? Isn't Atlanta the land of the kingdom!" Tolkien was furious when he heard Sirkot's question.
Now he is paying attention to the development of Atlanta City every day, especially the machines that Gergil brought back to him, the production efficiency is more than a hundred times higher than that of the kingdom.
However, such technology was actually used in Atlanta City to make furniture for those wealthy common people?
This...... This is just nonsense!
However, he had no way to meddle in the affairs of Atlanta City now.
The thought that he had handed over Atlanta City with his own hands made Tolkien feel a pang of distress.
However, the matter of requisitioning the military strength of Atlanta City does need to be carefully considered, and that little guy is not a loser, especially with the force he is afraid of.
Tolkien sighed and said: "Let Atlanta City hurry up and make armaments, provide at least 200,000 sets next month, and the matter of food, ask them when they can provide it, now that the price of food has increased several times, if he doesn't fulfill his promise to provide food, I will take Atlanta City back!"
The military secretary nodded, and then stood back and said no more.
Tolkien looked at the few people in the room, and suddenly asked, "What about that fat man in Gergil, didn't you say he's back?" ”
"Count Gergil was stopped outside the palace, I have already arranged to find out the situation......" The head of the guard replied cautiously, just now in the study was discussing state affairs, just when the guards came with news, Gegil asked to enter the palace with a very large magic guide, and he was not good to go in to report, so he had to let someone check the situation, but the person who sent it had not returned at this time.
"Oh, the giant magician, brought back from Atlanta?" Tolkien immediately became interested, and stood up directly. said to everyone in the study: "The fat man of Gergil said that he got a good thing back from Atlanta City, although this fat man is a little stingy, but his vision is still good, since he said it is a good thing, it must be bad, let's go, let's go and see together, what kind of magic guide can make him fearless." ”
Naturally, the crowd would not go against Tolkien's wishes, and soon, the top leadership of the Barak Kingdom appeared at the gates of the palace after a group of Praetorian Guards opened the way.
Before the man arrived, he heard the loud voice of Gegil.
"Hurry up and get out of the way, I tell you, this thing must not leave my sight, I must drive it into the palace, otherwise something goes wrong, and none of you can afford it!"
The general guarding the door was also very strong, and he was not afraid of Gegil at all, and said with an extremely firm attitude: "Count Gejir, in the next duty, before getting an order, the unknown magic guide is absolutely forbidden to enter the palace!"
"Then you should go and report it, what are you talking about with me!"
"The king is discussing state affairs, please wait a moment......"
", I see you're deliberately embarrassing the fat man. ”
Seeing that Gegil and the generals guarding the palace gate quarreled in public, Tolkien hurriedly walked out, and if he went first, the face of the nobles of the kingdom would be completely lost to me, a fat man.
"Open the palace door for me!" Tolkien said, turning to the commander of the guards.
"Yes!" the commander of the guards nodded, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the palace door completely.
As a rule, the palace gate was open only with a small door, from which the ministers entered and exited, and the main entrance of the palace was only fully opened when Tolkien entered and exited.
Therefore, when the sound of rope pulling came from the winch at the palace gate, Gegil froze for a moment, and then immediately jumped down from the driver's seat of the magic car, and his agility did not look like a fat man of more than two hundred pounds at all.
"Your Majesty, why did you come out in person? When Gergil saw Tolkien's figure, he hurriedly trotted over, changed his previous domineering attitude, and laughed flatteringly.
Tolkien said, "I'll see what good things you've gotten back to make such a big scene." ”
Gergil heard Tolkien ask this question, and hurriedly said excitedly. "Your Majesty, you come with me in the car, and I'll drive you to have a good experience. ”
"What do you mean?" Tolkien wondered.
"You just come with me," said Gergil, patting his chest, "I graduated first in the first driving skills course at Atlanta Technical College, and I can't find a lot of competition in driving skills in the whole of Atlanta City." ”
Tolkien frowned imperceptibly, but only for a moment smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll see what you get up to." ”
"Hehe, sure to surprise everyone!" Gergill laughed, and hurried Tolkien to the moloon parked outside the palace.
He hadn't driven for so long, and his hands had long been itchy.
Just to prevent the magic car from running out of magic power, along the way, the magic car was almost pulled back, and Gegil could only sit in the driver's seat to enjoy it.
Now that he has met Tolkien, he doesn't have to worry about so many problems, and now as long as Tolkien can see the function of the magic car, his title is likely to change from earl to marquis!
It's beautiful to think about.
What Gergil got back was a touring bus, the kind that carried twenty-five people, and the body full of spray paint looked particularly weird.
Tolkien stopped the commander of the guards from coming forward to check, and followed Gegill to the magic car with doubts, and the moment the door opened, Tolkien instantly felt a chill emerge from the car, and quickly took a step back.
At this moment, the sound of the sword unsheathed was endless, and all the Praetorian Guards drew their weapons and surrounded the magic car with a nervous expression.
"Put it all away, it's fine. Tolkien motioned for them to relax, then stepped into the car and asked Gergil, who was sitting in the driver's seat, "What is this? It's not the same temperature outside." ”
Gegil hurriedly explained: "This is a magic air conditioner, which can use magic power to create air conditioning......"
Tolkien nodded, did not speak again, and stood there straight, with a look of praise on his face.
Naturally, the chief magician of the court would not be too far away from Tolkien, and after Tolkien got into the car, he also followed, but as soon as he came up, he heard Gegill's words and hurriedly became secretly vigilant.
He did feel the feeling of a magic array on this strange thing, but he hadn't found it for a while, but in any case, having magic fluctuations meant danger, and he had to be careful.
Gegil turned his head at this time, saw Tolkien still standing there, and reminded: "Your Majesty, please sit down in your seat, the magic car is about to start." ”
"Good. Tolkien paused for a moment, then immediately reacted, and happily found a place to sit down.
After confirming that Tolkien would not have safety problems, Gergill put his foot on the brakes and activated the driving function of the magic car.
Soon, under the operation of Gegil, the magic car slowly moved and drove towards the palace.
"It's moving, it's moving, this monster is alive!" the guards suddenly saw the behemoth move on its own, and immediately shouted nervously.
Seeing the frightened faces of the guards, Gegil couldn't help but poke his head out of the window next to him and shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Tolkien was also taken aback at first, but when he found that nothing bad had happened, he waved his hand to the commander of the guards under the car and asked him to get out of the way.
Without the guards blocking the road, Gegil raised the speed of the car again and again, and in the frightened eyes of the palace attendants on the side of the road, he drove directly to the door of the main hall, and then stopped the magic car.
"Your Majesty, this is the treasure I have brought back for you. Gergill took the activation key and put it in Tolkien's hand, and smiled flatteringly
Tolkien calmly took the key and nodded.
"This is the magic car, the latest invention of Atlanta City, which uses magic power, and can run 400 kilometers at a time. Gergill didn't wait for Tolkien to ask, he introduced himself, he didn't sell it at this time, at this time he would really be killed if Tolkien hung his appetite again.
After Gegil's introduction, the chief magician of the palace couldn't help but ask, "You mean, this car can run four hundred kilometers with only forty silver coins once charged?"
Gegill nodded: "That's right, Atlanta City is the price." ”
The chief magician of the palace shook his head: "Impossible, although I don't know what his principle is, but the magic power used is definitely not a small amount, and forty silver coins are probably not enough to wear out." ”
Gegil spread his hands and said, "If this is true in general, but Atlanta City has a special charging formation, and the cost is extremely low, but this kind of formation is not provided by Atlanta City, so I have no way to bring it back." And Atlanta City now has a lot of things that use magic power, and it only takes a few copper coins a day to use. ”
"How is this possible?" the chief magician of the court frowned.
Gergil didn't want to argue with him, some people could be offended, and some people were still cautious, so he had to say: "That's the case, if you don't want to believe it, you can go to Atlanta City and see for yourself." ”
Tolkien didn't speak from the beginning, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the car fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Tolkien came back from his thoughts, and asked Gergil, "Since you have brought this magic car back as a treasure, you must have some idea, let's talk about it, this magic car should not just replace the role of the carriage." ”
"That's what I'm going to say. Gegil restrained his smile and said, "I suggest that the kingdom buy some customized models from Atlanta City for military purposes, whether it is transporting troops or food and armaments, it can greatly increase the speed and increase the strength from the side." ”
After listening to Gergil's words, Tolkien turned his head and saw the wide space in the car, and instantly came to his senses, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "That's right, if this kind of car is used in military affairs, the Barak Kingdom will have an advantage that the entire continent cannot match!"
Gegil nodded and said, "When I left Atlanta City, Lannis also revealed to me that they could sell us custom magic cars in large quantities, and they could also use the arrears of four billion gold coins to offset the debt. ”
The chief magician of the palace frowned and said, "Even so, isn't there still a problem with charging, didn't you say that they don't provide charging formations to the outside world?" ”
"That's the crux of the matter!" Gegil said, "Atlanta City will not provide formations, but they can operate it themselves, and they will choose the right place to set up the charging point, and the kingdom cannot interfere." ”
"What's the benefit of them doing this?" Tolkien frowned, he couldn't understand why Ari did this, compared to the kingdom that got a lot of magic cars without spending a penny, Atlanta City got too little.
Gergill said: "I've thought about this too, but I think the problem is still in the charging, as long as we use the car, we must use magic, so that Atlanta City can continue to make money, and setting up these charging stations can also serve the magic bullet car in Atlanta City, since they invented the magic bullet car, it is impossible to let the magic bullet car only be used in Atlanta City." ”
"Not bad. Tolkien also figured it out, and immediately looked at Gergill with admiration.
"It's really not easy for you to think so much!" Tolkien said with some sighs: "If those ministers in the kingdom can do the same, why can't the kingdom develop, they should really learn from you!"
Gegil laughed praisedly, his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears, and he said modestly: "I didn't think more than everyone else, maybe my brain is better than theirs, and some ...... "Bai Plated "Super God Magician Claw Book House" The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
