Chapter 527
"Yes, I'm Eri, I returned to the Odin continent alone, and now I'm in Storm Canyon, where the signal can't connect to Atlanta City, you can help me transfer ......"
Ari explained it simply, but after finishing speaking, he always felt a little weird, as if he was saying that I was Qin Shi Huang, and I felt like I was going to pay for it......
Palacio listened over there, but he didn't think too much, just a little excited, Ari hadn't heard from him for more than half a year since he entered the Storm Canyon, and now he suddenly came back, maybe he really found another continent.
However, when he saw that Ari didn't seem to mean to greet him, he honestly did what Ari asked.
Although he is not a few years old with Ari, the image of Ari has long been in his heart, and he and Joffrey are the same generation, and the words of the elders are to be listened to......
Atlanta City was also a little shocked to receive Palacio's call, if it weren't for Palacio's special identity and special number contact, they might have suspected that someone was impersonating Palacio to commit fraud.
Nowadays, the mainland's economic development is changing with each passing day, and there are more fraudsters and economic criminals than criminal offenses......
After confirming Palacio's identity, the information was immediately transferred to the City Lord's Mansion, but the acting city lord Lannis recently visited the Dark Empire Alliance, so he finally notified Gergil, who was in charge of the economy.
"Hey, I'm Gegil, who are you?" asked Gegill first after the mysterious phone call was answered, because it might be Eri on the other side of the phone, and he used your word carefully.
"Fatty, it's me, it's you who I'm looking for......"
"City Lord, are you back?Where are you now, I'll pick you up right away......"
Before Eri's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Gegill, and a series of words like machine guns crackled out of the phone, and Eri reluctantly took the phone aside, he was afraid that Gegill's excited saliva would come out of the phone......
After a long time, when Gegil finally expressed all his admiration and longing, the conversation could finally go on normally.
"Alright, I said, don't fix all this nonsense. After a pause, Ari said with a smile on his face, "I don't often come back here, I have something to do with you......
Next, iResearch put forward the requirements for the construction of signal base stations.
And in Atlanta, hearing Eri's criticism, Gergil's heart was really steady.
Ari had told him that Atlanta didn't need this, and Ari had only told him about it, and the person on the other end of the phone obviously knew this, so the authenticity of Ari's identity could be confirmed......
After listening to Eri's explanation, Gergill also reported the current situation of Atlanta City to Ari.
Because of the lively status of a permanent neutral city, Atlanta City is the first city on the mainland to establish diplomatic relations with the three major Dark Alliance empires, because of the geographical location, the two sides can only communicate through the ultra-long-range magic array for the time being, and the high cost of use brought by the ultra-long distance makes the three major empires of the Dark Alliance only the nobles and wealthy merchant class have the ability to teleport.
On the other hand, on the side of Atlanta City, there are many wealthy merchants, and they have the materials that the Dark Empire is in short supply, and almost all those who try it have made a lot of money, and they have ruthlessly scraped the elite class of the Dark Alliance Empire.
This also makes Atlanta City more influential on the mainland, after all, the Dark Alliance is the second largest alliance on the main road, and Atlanta City is equivalent to monopolizing the market of half the continent.
Atlanta City is developing very fast, and the role of the City of Exile is highlighted, serving as a blood tonic for Atlanta City.
These people are equivalent to betrayers, even if they return to their own empire, it is difficult to gain a foothold, and Atlanta City has been negotiating with the major empires, asking to guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of their families, so many people immediately took their families to the city of hope, which has now been renamed after the economy is developed.
The City of Hope is also the second recognized neutral city on the mainland, where nationality is ignored to the greatest extent and is not conspicuous no matter what nationality you are.
Therefore, the industrial focus of Atlanta City has gradually shifted to the City of Hope, and Atlanta City will only focus on magic technology research and development, education and high-end housing in the future.
Lannis's style of governance is very stable, and Atlanta City is almost exactly following Eri's vision, with little change in the layout of the city, except that the industrial area of the North Side is slowly being transformed into a residential area.
But even so, Atlanta's green card has become the hardest thing to get on the mainland.
If there is no other reason, emigrating as a nobleman, without a family background above the Duke of the mainland, it is almost impossible to even think about it, even if it is a duke family, each empire has a limit on the number of places per year.
However, research mages have an immigration policy tilt, while combat mages need to reach a high-level mage, and the starting point is not ordinarily high.
Ari also expected this, Atlanta City is so big, it has the best magic technology in the continent, the best education, the best living environment, the best policy support, coupled with the neutral identity, Atlanta City is destined to become the most special existence on the continent.
However, the transformation of the Barak kingdom made Ari a little surprised, just after Ari left with the Curse God, Tolkien didn't know what the stimulus was, and he opened the country widely, using various inclined policies to tempt Atlanta City merchants to invest in Barak, and its strength was really a little reckless, and the economy of the entire kingdom has been completely controlled by the merchants of Atlantan City.
Tolkien, however, seemed to be completely unconcerned, and all areas were left to the free roof of Atlanta's merchants except for military power, and some policies were favored as long as they did not do anything that violated Atlanta's laws.
That's right, for those who are registered in Atlanta City, Barak Kingdom, the Barak Kingdom enforces the laws of Atlanta City, and only has the right of first instance, which means that after the Barak Kingdom makes a judgment on the Atlanta City suspect, it also needs to be reviewed by Atlanta City, and if Atlanta City declares a not-guilty person, the Barak Kingdom will also recognize the verdict.
This has almost reached the point of losing power and humiliating the country, and when this policy first came out, many Barak people who are interested in revitalizing the country are crying bitterly, bluntly saying that the people of the Barak Kingdom have become second-class citizens from now on.
However, there are some people who support this, saying that this is a very good start, and that the kingdom can let go of its preconceived notions and open up completely, which is a very good thing for everyone.
The merchants of Atlanta will bring wealth, knowledge, and technology, and one day, they will be able to buy Atlantan's goods anytime and anywhere, and enforce the laws of Atlanta, so what is the difference between them and Atlanta?
However, neither of these arguments dominated, and more people neither supported nor opposed, as long as the merchants of Atlanta City could pay enough according to the work contract, then why not the merchants of Atlanta City enjoy some privileges, anyway, there was a noble class at their heads, what about one more Atlantan merchant?
They don't know what is going on at the national level, but they know that the people of Atlanta never deduct their wages, and everything is done according to the system.
That's enough, for ordinary people, as long as they live in the past, everyone cares about who is the person who manages them, anyway, there are always people above......
Ari didn't know any of this, but Tolkien's courage did surprise him, and it seemed that he didn't mind being taken away from his rights for the sake of the Baracks' life.
This is almost invisible among emperors, and Ari has seen so many people, and only Loran I has a little bit of this, and who else does not hold their rights tightly, who cares how those people live.
After communicating with Gegill for a while, Eri was also satisfied, in the more than half a year since he left, although Atlanta City has many areas that have been encroached upon by the countries of the mainland and lost some interests, it is still upward on the whole, and there has been no such thing as Atlanta City being persecuted by the entire continent as soon as he left.
After explaining that Gegil would implement the signal base station as soon as possible, Eri was in a good mood and answered several questions about Palacio's development, which made Palacio a little unstoppable.
However, Ari stayed and drove the ship back to Storm Canyon.
Ai Rui has been gone for too long, and the black dragon is a little impatient, and he is already thinking about whether to go back and take over the Internet café, after all, Ai Rui may leave in breach of contract, and the Internet café should be compensated to him as a mental loss......
So when he saw Ari come back, Black Dragon was still a little disappointed. However, Ai Rui didn't think about it so much, smiled and patted the black dragon's shoulder, and turned back to the Jade Dragon Continent.
When they returned to the Zhushen, everyone was very interested in the affairs of the Odin continent, and after hearing about the development of Atlanta City, they all showed a nostalgic look.
Only Gal was a little confused when he heard this.
Seeing Garl leave silently alone, Ari sent the group away and chased them in the direction Gal had left.
The Zhushen is now in the mode of the hull, floating on the sea, not far from the Young Academy, Gal came to the deck, held the side of the ship, let the sea breeze blow his hair, and just quietly looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Odin continent.
"Is it homesick?" said Arile as he walked over to Gal's side, looking into the distance as he likewise smiled.
Gal was also not curious about Ari's sudden arrival, and after hearing this, a complicated look appeared in his eyes: " Before I went to Bran Village, in my heart, he was the best father in the world, a great hero who could do anything, but in Atlanta City, I knew that in his heart, the most loved thing would always be the Barak Kingdom, for this, he could sacrifice me, sacrifice himself, sacrifice everything, I didn't understand before, then I understood, but now I don't understand, obviously Atlantan City didn't mean to get involved with Barak, why did he do this, what was he thinking!"
Gal said a lot, these have been pressing on his heart for a long time, and now it is much easier to say it in one go.
Ari also knew that Tolkien was actually a psychological obstacle that Gal had not overcome, and that summer, the abandonment from his father was like an awl that had pierced his heart, and until now, he has never pulled it out.
Ari has done a lot for this, and Gal doesn't seem to care anymore, and is even able to talk and laugh with Tolkien.
But now, Gal didn't let it go, he just hid the awl and hid it in the deepest part of his heart.
Ari can also understand that once something cracks, there is no way to restore it.
Ari thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Gal and said, "Actually, he hasn't changed all along, he just hopes that the Barak Kingdom can be better." ”
Gal said with some excitement: "But by doing this, he is giving up the Barak Kingdom, once everyone recognizes Atlanta City in their hearts, the Barak Kingdom will be gone!"
"No, the Barak Kingdom has not disappeared, he just exists in a different form, and he has never given up the Barak Kingdom, he just attaches more importance to the people in the kingdom. Ari patiently explained that Gar's outburst was due to a grievance from the bottom of his heart.
Tolkien had given up on him for the sake of the kingdom, and now that he had given up the kingdom, he felt that he had become even more humble in Tolkien's heart.
Thinking of this, Ari suddenly said, "Perhaps, he did this because you ......"
"Because of me?" said Gal, turning his head a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with me?"
"That's right, because of you. Ari nodded, looking at him in Gal's quizzful gaze and asking, "Did you notice the time he changed, it was the day we left?" ”
Gal thought for a moment and asked, "What's so noteworthy about this?"
"Of course, why didn't he change for so long, and he changed when we left? It's because of the guilt in his heart for you, the love for you, after all, you didn't leave anything behind when you left, Atlanta City also has a part of you, maybe he just wants to be closer to you. After Ari finished speaking, he felt a little numb, but the effect on Gal was very good.
Even if he lied to himself, Gal was unwilling to pull out the awl that pierced his heart, as long as the awl was not pulled out, the wound would not be seen, and he could tell himself with peace of mind that in fact, he was not injured.
This wound was also called Schrödinger's wound by Ari.
Realizing that Tolkien's change might be due to himself, Gar's mood instantly became very good, and Ari pouted at it, not knowing if it was a father-lover complex......
After seeing that Gal seemed to return to normal, Ari also admired himself, obviously he was a scumbag father, but he was portrayed by him as a hero who was a hero for the country and the people, and became a man who was deeply in love with his son, and there was no one else who had this eloquence.
