Ducal Palace.

Den.

Looking at the Gegil in front of him, who was obviously superhuman, but liked to hide his abilities under a pile of fat meat, Eri sighed silently.

"Don't put on such a flattering smile in front of me, otherwise you will go to training with the Young Pioneers every morning. ”

Gergil's smile froze.

Isn't it said that the luck of a fat man who loves to laugh is not too bad?

As for training with the Young Pioneers? That's impossible, and it's impossible to kill them!

He stayed in the Duke's Palace for two days, and he saw the training intensity of the Young Pioneers, and he felt his scalp tingle just by watching it, let alone following it.

"If you don't like it, I just don't laugh. Gergil felt a little aggrieved.

Ai Rui said lightly: "I let you come to see your ability, as for your previous image of an irritable and flattering villain, you can lose it, it's hard to say in the future, at least the current Atlanta City doesn't need you to do this, showing your ability is what you should do." ”

Gegil habitually wanted to pat himself on the back, but when his smile appeared, he was so frightened that he took it back, and his expression was wonderful.

Ari shook his head and said, "Let someone show you the materials, do you have a score in mind?"

"Although it is my honor to be valued by you, I think it is a little inappropriate for me to be in a high position after all, after all, I just came to Atlanta City, or you can assign another person, and I will run errands for you. Ggil said tentatively.

Ari said lightly: "If you don't want to, Atlanta City still has a position of road cleaner reserved for you, for the sake of Gal's face, I will give you ten times the monthly salary." ”

Gegil's face changed, and he immediately said: "I think the Foreign Trade Department is actually very suitable for me, and I am confident that I can do it well." ”

"Okay, tell me what you think. Ari snorted, he could see that this fat man belonged to the kind of person who wouldn't leave if you didn't hit him.

"I've read all the information, I won't mention small goods, although the profits are huge, but there is not enough influence, as long as it is handed over to private companies, and Atlanta City is going to operate several big projects in the future, I think I have to think about it again, the influence is too great, and I still can't control it." Gergil said honestly.

Thinking of the internal reference I saw yesterday, I am still a little amazed, Atlanta City's move to allow individuals to set up companies is too advanced, and it gives full play to the power of the people, while the concepts that Atlanta City is ready to promote to the whole continent are a little ahead.

He has lived in Atlanta City for a long time, and of course he knows that Atlanta City currently has the most advanced magic application technology on the mainland, and it stands to reason that these technologies are unique, and it should not be difficult to promote them, and there is not even a competitor.

But the problem lies in this, these technologies are too subversive, whether it is as small as the magic energy application that is connected to every household, or as large as the magic sound communication that can be communicated by the whole continent in the future, all of them are cross-era products, as long as they are used, they are almost inseparable, those empires can't just watch Atlanta City make this money, and although Atlanta City's military strength is not weak, but for the entire continent, the difference is not one or two points, and Gegil has no way to ensure that these projects can operate safely.

Ari chuckled, "Is it that you can't control it, or do you feel that you can't control it?" ”

"Don't dare to take control. Gergill said honestly: "This time the academy competition is a little inappropriate, Atlanta City has exposed too many things. If it were me, I would put it out one by one and strive for the best benefit.

But it's too late now, and I guess those empires are now shifting more of their attention from the Chaman Empire to Atlanta, and as soon as the game is over, or even before the game is over, the war will be fought. ”

"Don't worry, Atlanta is far more prepared than you think. Ari looked confident: "As long as I am willing, this war, the Chaman Empire can't lose!"

Gegill is still worried: "If the Chaman Empire wins, Atlanta City will be more dangerous, after all, the Chaman Empire is the most convenient attack on Atlanta City." ”

"The Chaman Empire can't win either, if I tell you that there is no winner in this war except for Atlanta City, do you believe it?"

"I believe it. ”

Gegill nodded, and in Ari's unexpected expression, he said with a sincere expression, "Atlanta City has proven your abilities, and I won't doubt your words until the Atlantan myth is shattered." ”

Ai Rui said noncommittally: "Since you don't doubt me, let's do things well, with your ability, you should know which of those people in the academy are the envoys of the six empires." ”

Hearing this, Gegill suddenly laughed: "If you are going to promote these products, I don't think there is any need to contact them. ”

"Oh, tell me what you think. ”

"If we cooperate directly with the six empires, although it is much more convenient, but the interests will be greatly damaged, they will not let us earn their gold coins, even if they agree for a while, when they master the technology, they will definitely not hesitate to get rid of us. ”

Speaking of this, Gegil straightened his stomach and said confidently: "However, if we give up directly connecting with those empires, and instead find suitable partners among the major imperial kingdoms, then things will be much simpler." ”

Hearing this, Ari looked interested, nodded and said, "Go on." ”

"Among the aristocracy, no matter how good the monarch and patriotism are, they must be doing things that harm the interests of the country behind their backs, even if they are royal princes and noble dukes, these things are still indispensable in secret. Speaking of this, Gegil laughed hesitantly: "So, as long as we are willing to cooperate with these people, presumably they will not mind how much the empire has lost, they will only care about how much they have earned." ”

"However, although our technology is advanced, as long as time comes, he may be able to research it himself, and then they will definitely abandon us, so what's the difference?"

"The difference is too great. Gegil shook his head and said with a mocking face: "Before the research is out, these people will try their best to prevent others from researching, and if it is really researched, then it is not afraid, compared to controlling the empire, it is easier for these nobles to control, I believe that when the time comes, Atlanta City will definitely have some countermeasures, or newer technology." ”

Hearing this, Ari smiled and clapped his hands: "It seems that my decision is right, it is definitely a wise decision to ask you to come over from Tolkien, under his hands, you are a little condescending, you should have a bigger stage, I think, the stage of the Odin Continent is very suitable for you." ”

Gegil was slightly moved, he didn't expect Ari to have such a high opinion of him, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: "Aren't you afraid that I am an undercover agent of the kingdom? With the status you give me now, I am afraid that Atlanta City will suffer a lot of losses at that time." ”

"Undercover?, do you dare?" Ari looked at him with a smile, "What made you think this way? Do you think that the Barak Kingdom can protect you, or do you think that I will not do anything to the Barak Kingdom because of Gal." ”

Ari said, walked out from behind the desk, patted Gergil's shoulder, and said in a serious voice: "The fist is the only truth in this world, as long as my fist is big enough, I believe in your loyalty, and if my fist is not big enough, then it doesn't matter if I am loyal." ”

With that, Ari patted him on the shoulder again, turned and walked out of the study, leaving Gergill alone in the study.

Gegill was stunned by Ari's words, what kind of strong confidence can he say?

Shocked, Gegil suddenly had some worries about the future of the Barak Kingdom, and in today's conversation, Eri's ambition was undoubtedly revealed.

He's even started raiding the whole continent!

It took Arry three years to master the city of Atlanta, and when he completely digested the population of five million, when the time came, in the face of the expansion of Atlanta City, where should the Kingdom of Barak go?

Therefore, Gegill is very distressed now, although he had made a decision before he came, he would not participate in the game of the big shots, you can do whatever you like, and whoever wins he will listen to whomever he wants, but now when the threat of Atlanta City to the Barak Kingdom is really in front of him, he still hesitates.

He knew what Ari meant by saying this today, which was to make him make a choice.

But what could he choose?

He didn't have a choice before, and now he doesn't want to.

Just as Gergil sighed and was about to resign himself to fate, Gal suddenly walked into the study.

"Your Highness?" Gergil was stunned for a moment when he saw Garr.

"Do you have time to talk to me?" said Gar as he walked over to the couch and sat down, pointing to the empty seat across from him, and looked at Gergill with a smile on his face.

"Of course. Gergil immediately rushed to the couch with a sensitivity that did not fit his size, and sat down with a flattering smile.

Gal couldn't help but shake his head: "Ari does what he says, if he shows him what you look like now, he will really let you train with the Young Pioneers." ”

Gegil was stunned again, and couldn't help but ask, "You know everything?"

"I've been listening outside the door, I wasn't going to meet you, but you're a smart guy, and Ari said that it's better to talk to a smart guy directly, so I'm here. ”

"Everywhere, I'm just an ordinary person, at most a little fatter than others......"

Gal smiled, changed the subject, and said, "My father must be angry when I heard that I was coming to Atlanta City to work. ”

"I am not a man of great importance, and the king wishes that I should go, so that the kingdom can save a lot of food. ”

Gal smiled and said instead, "Well, what do you think now, just say it, I like to hear the truth." ”

When Gegil heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "As long as Atlanta City continues to develop, the Barak Kingdom will definitely bear the first disaster, as the prince of the kingdom, I want to know what His Highness thinks about this matter." ”

Gergil doesn't usually do this, too direct often loses room to turn, resulting in irreparable damage, but since the words have been said to this point, he can't figure it out, and the rest of the things can't be done.

"What do you think?" said Gal repeated, then laughed, and said lightly, "If the Barak Kingdom is not capable enough, then being swallowed is not the right thing to do?"

"But that is your country, and your blood is the blood of the Barak family! As a descendant of the Barak family, you have the obligation to protect this land. ”

Ggil's attitude was a little excited, which made Gal a little shocked: "You can't be my grandfather's illegitimate son, you actually care about the kingdom more than me." ”

Hearing Garr's words, Gegil was stunned, the sparkle in his eyes suddenly disappeared, revealing a silly smile, and he turned back into the harmless fat man of humans and animals.

Gal shook his head and sighed: "More than two hundred years ago, when the ancestors came out of the small town of Lombard, it only took a short time to pacify the northern land, but since then, the kingdom has not increased a single square meter of land, do you know why?"

Gegil thought for a moment, "Is it because of the Chaman Empire?"

"No, it's because it's peace-loving. Garr stood up, turned and walked to the bookshelf behind his desk, took out a copy of the General History of the Kingdom, and handed it to Gergil.

"You should have read this book, there is a place in the book I don't know if you have noticed, after the ancestors conquered this land, they handed back the military power to the Chaman Empire three times, only asking for the reduction of agricultural taxes and allowing people to recuperate, if it were not for the later governor who broke the agreement and made the north mourn, perhaps, the Barak Kingdom may still be a province of the Chaman Empire. ”

"But this ......"

"You want to say that this is the beautification of history, but the reality doesn't have to be like this, right? Gal said what Gergil wanted to say.

Gergill didn't speak, but not speaking was tantamount to acquiescence.

"History cannot be examined, but it is true that the military power has been returned three times, and it is true that the territory has not been increased, and that is enough. These days, you have also seen how many people from the Barak Kingdom have poured into Atlanta because of the fact that Atlanta is able to bring them a better life. ”

Speaking of this, Gal looked at Gergil with a serious face: "If Atlanta City can bring a better life, integrate into Atlanta City, you can have clothes to wear and meat to eat, why resist?"

"But then the kingdom is gone. ”

"No, it's just a different form of existence, not even just the Barak Kingdom, I believe that Ari will be able to unify the entire continent in the end!"

As he spoke, Gal showed a fanatical expression on his face: "If it can really be done, there will be no more wars in the world, everyone will live happily, the cultivation of martial arts is to strengthen the body, and the magician will use magic in the direction of changing his life, how beautiful that world will be." ”

Gergil looked horrified.
