"Boss, I think this matter needs to be talked about separately", Bimbo Beaubruff began to deliberately force himself to talk more since he succeeded Daisy as the head of the interior, "whether you want to raise the flag and be independent, you have to see if you can get benefits." If we raise the flag, I think the advantage is that it can show who we are and also prove our success. And, with the remnants of your forbidden spell last time, no one should object. If he continues not to raise the flag but is de facto independent, the emperor may be more acceptable and can leave him some leeway. Otherwise, our independence would be tantamount to splitting, and for a separatist force, His Majesty the Emperor would face great pressure from public opinion to attack or destroy us. ”

"There's a forbidden spell, and he still dares to fight?" , Ivan objected softly, "If he doesn't dare to fight anyway, why don't we raise the flag?" ”

"But the boss only has one chance to ban magic. What if the Emperor is pressured to use his troops casually, only to find out that we can't use magic at all? Our window of time is gone. ”

Zinker Warren also joined the discussion. Personally, he doesn't care too much about whether to raise the flag or not. With Gastens, victory is a matter of time. Whether he will raise the flag to build the country and divide the officials now, he is not in a hurry. Moreover, the communist government is not the same as the decadent feudal government, and being an official has no interests, but has many responsibilities, and it is not very attractive to him.

Speaking of which, we are back to the original question. Can Gastens Warren, the man known as the closest to the Grand Magus, still be able to unleash magic?

"Look at what I'm doing", Gastens was a little helpless, although he had emphasized it many times, but everyone still couldn't seem to fully believe him, "I can't let go of the magic, comrades, take it easy, don't mess up this matter." ”

"Then that's easy," Ivan tapped lightly on the table, "and if the head can't cast the magic, we're now blowing up a parchment bubble—a poke that bursts." In this way, don't raise the flag, it's better to keep your head down and do things honestly. ”

"Yes, that's true."

Bimpo Bobruff spoke briefly, but still had some reservations in his heart. He wondered, if the boss really couldn't release magic, then why did he dare to take the two western provinces from Paul Gibson? However, these things are not the answers he can know now. Returning to the discussion itself, according to Gastens Caliber, there are not many options for raising the flag or not.

At this point in the discussion, everyone's opinions are basically unified. Several committee members chatted about the details of the situation after not raising the flag, and then finalized the most basic major policies. At the same time, we should take over the province of Siloam as quickly as possible, promote the agrarian revolution and the reform of the army, and strive to complete the consolidation of the base areas within one year. Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Gastens did not say much and ended the meeting.

After the meeting, he found someone to call Paul Gibson's Nine Emperors. He was curious, and wanted to ask from the mouth of this little guy what his father, who had just killed another prince's son, thought.

"My father actually has a very simple idea", although the ninth prince Gary Gibson is only fourteen years old, but he has a surprisingly careful thinking and calmness, "my mother gave birth to me and died, and my father did not like me. Now there's a good chance you're the Grand Magus, and he wants to put me here, just in case. In case you are really the Grand Magus, and you have subverted the royal family, then I am here, at least I can pass on his bloodline. Moreover, if I really become your student, and you are the Grand Magus, then I will be your first apprentice, even if I can't activate the magic sense, I will not be less glorious and powerful when I am alive, and I will be able to take care of the fallen royal family at that time. ”

Gastens looked at the little prince with some surprise, and secretly marveled in his heart. With such thinking at a young age, this Nine Emperor Princes really deserves the name of his prince.

"What if I'm not?" , Gastens was a little curious. This Gary Gibson analysis makes a lot of sense. If he was really a great magister, he probably wouldn't kill a child for no reason. So, if he wasn't, what did little Gary think?

"If you are not, my father has nothing to lose. Sooner or later, he can send troops against you and bring back the shame he has suffered. The unlucky one may be just me. You may or may not kill me. But whether you are or not, my father does not lack sons, and if I die, I will die, and it doesn't matter", Gary Gibson didn't seem to have much emotional turmoil when talking about his life and death, "However, I don't think much of it is with him. I've studied your upbringing, and I've studied communism and On Capital. I think that if you are really given some time to develop, even if your father owns the whole Anken Rein, he may not be able to beat you. ”

"Haha—you dare to say it."

Gastens was amused by the little prince, he really dared to say anything. Gastens reached out and touched Gary's head, "You are very smart and thoughtful, which is different from what you showed in front of our diplomat, Bimpo Bobref. That boy who was too shy to speak should be your disguise, so why not continue to disguise it? ”

"That kind of disguise is for others to see, not for you. I'm just a move by my father. But my own luck is that I can meet you, I touch you, and I have my own thoughts. I hope to prove to you that I am good, lest you kill me in a fit of rage when my father calls me. ”

"If you're good, I won't kill you?" , Gastens pretended to be serious, wanting to see Gary Jr.'s reaction.

"Excellent and not planning to stand with my father, I think you should give me a way to live."

Little Gary answered quickly and spoke fluently, obviously having already thought it through. Gastens patted him on the shoulder.

"It's good to be smart, but pretending to be smart is not something a kid should have. Your father, I guess I think you think very highly of you. So, don't pretend to be a poor outcast, since you want to prove yourself, do as I arranged. You can see with your own eyes the present and the future we can have. ”

After saying that, Gastens actually left little Gary and walked away. Little Gary didn't follow, he stood in place, a cold sweat broke out behind his back. As Gastens said, most of what he told Gastens was true, and the only lie was that he was not an abandoned son of his father, but a son whom his father valued very much and raised from an early age. This Gastens was able to see through his identity in a few words, which made little Gary a little frustrated.

However, he quickly became excited again. As a prince, shouldn't you feel excited and excited to meet such an opponent?

——————————————

While Gastens and Gary, the Ninth Emperor, were discussing His Majesty's thoughts on the Emperor, Elena's head of internal affairs, Bimpo Boboff, was chatting with a visitor.

“…… Lord Bobruf, what we want is very simple, as long as you grant us a piece of land on which we can build a new mage tower for Lord Garstens. You don't have to pay a penny to build a tower, and you don't have to pay a penny from Elena. Instead, we cover all the costs, and if Elena's workers don't want to participate, we can find workers from outside. As long as you approve the construction of the tower, there will be absolutely no problem! ”

In Bimpo Baubruff's office, Miguel Martinez, the spokesperson of the Mage Tower Capital Department, was sitting in front of Bimpo Baubruff and talking. And in the middle of him and Bimpo Beaubruff, there are several gift boxes in simple packaging. It was Martinez's gift to Beaubruf.

"Elena doesn't need a mage tower," Bimbo Bobruf had been listening to the spokesperson of the mage tower for half an hour, and there was undisguised impatience in his voice. Even if Gastens is a magister, but they love Lena, they are the base of the communist system, and in this base area, what is the point of building a mage tower that represents class, exploitation and oppression?

"Please go back, please take these things with you."

Bimpo Bobruv studied "On Capital" and also listened to Gastens lectures. After the collapse of the Fern Third Republic's Trade Union Party, Gastens also specially sought out members of the Union Party who had fled to Elena to give them lessons. The experience and lessons of the failure of the Hong Kong Trade Union Party were presented. Therefore, for the gift sent by Martinez, even if he didn't open it at all, he didn't plan to accept it.

"It's just a little snack, it's not worth much", Martinez bent over, extremely respectful, "to bring it to you, but also to show respect for you." If you don't mind, please accept it. ”

As he spoke, Martinez turned around, intending to just leave his things on the table and walk away. Bimbo Bobruv shouted at him, rushed out with his gifts, and shoehorned them into Martinez.

"You take this thing, or don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing that Beaubruv was so resolute, Martinez no longer insisted. He bowed away with his gifts. Bimpo Beaubruf watched Martinez leave, but he was lost in thought.

Although, in the spirit of wariness of these capitalists, he did not agree to Martinez's conditions. But what Martinez had just said to him, he remembered very clearly. If the adult is really a great magister, he deliberately concealed his cultivation to come to Hongchen to practice. Then the age of the adults is definitely not as young as it seems. Such a great magister who hid his cultivation in Hongchen and even pretended to be a serf to lead a revolutionary team must have a purpose. Whatever his purpose was, what if he found out that doing revolution wasn't that fun and decided to give up? What should they do with those who followed the Gastens Revolution? Moreover, the five existing mage towers do not have his mage towers. As the leader of Elena, shouldn't he have a mage tower in his realm? Even if he didn't want it, wouldn't these people in the area, their worship and belief in Gastens need a specific image or object?

However, even if there was a real need to build the Mage Tower, it would not be possible for Martinez's gang to build it. Elena's Mage Tower can only be built by Elena's people. Bimpo Bobruf did not know how much it would cost to build a mage tower, and he thought that with the power of Elena, he could build a mage tower. It's just that he had to ask Gastens for advice before he could officially launch this somewhat strange project.

——————————————

By the time Gastens finished his conversation with Gary and returned to his office to read some more papers and take a break, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Elena is still brightly lit, the joy of victory in the war has not faded, and the machines in the factory are still roaring. In Chaoyang Square outside the first factory, there are many elderly people who are enjoying leisure and entertainment. If it weren't for the fact that Gastens knew that it was still a war age, he would have thought that Elena had entered the age of peace.

"Squeak-"

The door was gently pushed open, and Luna Brewster stood in a plain blue cotton dress, holding a tray with a few biscuits and a cup of tea. Gastens looked at her as if he had admonished.

"Remember to close the door."

During this time, Luna would find time to spend time with him every day, help him make tea and water, and sometimes try to bring food. Gastens was initially disgusted with her. The woman approached him with a purpose, he could feel it. But Luna herself was honest when Gastens asked about it.

"If it weren't for that forbidden spell, we'd not be all the way. But you are now the one closest to the Great Magister, and I am the one who is most eager to get close to the Great Magister. So, if I can, allow me to help you and see you once a day. It's insignificant to you, but for me, it's the hope of survival. ”

Gastens knew she was exaggerating, but if he refused. He couldn't be sure that Zinker Warren would find him another girl. Everyone knows that he lost Daisy. Many of Elena's people are secretly thinking about his marriage. And Gastens himself, however, was not in such a hurry. So, on the one hand, Luna herself is good-looking, and the service is also in place under deliberate flattery, and on the other hand, he also hopes that his comrades will no longer focus on showing up for themselves, and Gastens acquiesces to Luna's appearance next to him. And his decision really cleared his ears a little.

Putting tea and cookies on the desk, Luna has no intention of staying. She gave Gastens a weak look and turned to leave. Gastens watched as her curly body pushed the door open, picked up a cookie, and took a bite.

It tasted good, thousands of times better than the coarse grains he ate in the cafeteria. Gastens ate the cookie he had bitten into, ate two more, took a sip of water, and got back to work. However, it didn't take long for him to stop again.

Whenever late at night, the lonely office always reminds Gastens of Daisy. This longing has not faded with the passage of time, but has become more and more unbearable. Gastens wanted to anesthetize himself through his work, but found that the effect was very limited. He was stunned for a while, looked at the document for a while, and found that he couldn't focus, so he took out his drawing tablet and pen to draw a few blueprints, but found that he couldn't calm down at all.

Finally, he turned off all the lights, moved a small bench and sat in front of the window, looking out the window at the night sky and Elena at night, and fell silent.

On this quiet night, only the moonlight and the starry sky could see tears in the corners of the eyes of the revolutionary leader.

The night is dark, deep.
