Elena's Execution: Who Killed Bosman? 》

On the third day of Bosman's killing, the first newspaper to get the news, Anken Rein Radiance, wrote the shocking headline in bold black on its front page. Under this eye-catching title, the black-and-white sketch picture honestly restores the execution three days ago. The man in military uniform was lying face down on the platform of the steam locomotive station, black blood flowing from under him, spreading along the platform, into the drainage groove chiseled into the platform, and disappearing into the side of the picture. The huge wheels of the steam locomotive show half of their silhouette in the picture, becoming the final backdrop for the man who died before he left.

Stirling Bosman, the man who had just questioned Gastens' authority, was proved to be Gastens in a fairly direct and undisguised way.

"All men are created equal, and serfs, like nobles, have equal human rights. He who kills serfs is to kill people, and he should pay for his life. ”

In a low-key but luxurious courtyard in Colleborit, Rob Hedland, one of the three bigwigs of the Mage Tower's capital department, who had been caught by Elena not long ago, sat on a large and comfortable Lent plush sofa, reading the newspaper in his hand softly. Jeffrey Chaka, the general manager of The Paper, stood respectfully in front of him, holding a glass of Helendin in his hand, not moving.

"Okay, sit down, your company's affairs are also troublesome, many things are up to you, don't worry too much."

Rob Hedland waved his hand, motioned for Geoffrey Chaka to put the glass of Lunding on the small table beside him, put down the "Fluorite" in his hand, and picked up the "Anken Rein Radiance" again, and found what he wanted.

“…… This was a blatant assassination of a national army cadre in defiance of the law and the human rights of citizens. If such behaviour is not checked, there will be no peace for the people of the whole country. Because, no one knows where the bullets from Elena will come out in the next second, and for what reason they will take our lives......"

After reading a few words, Hedland laughed contemptuously and placed the newspaper on the small few beside him.

"These people are so good that they have forgotten the pain, how long has it been since they dared to question and even openly provoke a man closest to the Grand Magister in this way? If Lord Brewster was here, he wouldn't need to intervene at all, and there would naturally be enough people to solve these clowns for the Mage Tower. ”

"This time Elena killed Bosman, and it seems that she didn't use the power of magic."

Jeffrey Chaka responded cautiously. Although he is the general manager of Anken Rein's largest steam power equipment company, he does not feel that he has the capital to be equal to him in front of this big man who can decide his fate. The feeling was so palpable that even his tone was humble.

"Some say that the one who wants to test Gastens in this way," Hedland smiled contemptuously, "this way can only test Elena's abilities, but not Gastens's identity at all." If they really want to do it, fight the defense of Elena again, release 300,000 national salvation troops, and push Elena into a corner, they will naturally know whether Gastens is the archmage after all. But do they dare? ”

"Don't dare."

Chaka's reply was brief, not a word.

"You, how did you become the general manager with such a stuffy character?" Rob Hedland glanced at Chaka, a little displeased.

"Tell me, how is the research on the first car that Elena sent?"

Hearing Hedland ask about his old job, Chaka's eyes lit up a little. He stood up and, after asking Hedland's permission, hung a large blueprint on a display board that had already been prepared. The blueprint was split in two from the middle, one side was a sketch of the Rand Medal steam car that the Third Republic had begun selling in Anken Rein some time ago, and on the other side, a steam car that looked completely different, but was noticeably more luxurious and professional. In the sketch of this car, a small fluttering red flag stands upright at the front of the car, which seems to be silently announcing its identity.

"My lord, this is the Hongqi steam locomotive sent by Elena, and I have mobilized the whole company to study it. I have to admit that this is definitely the only stunner in the world! If the RAND Medal of the RAND Corporation is the first trackless small steam locomotive, then this red flag from Elena can be said to have directly made the trackless small steam locomotive to the extreme! It's the most beautiful steam-powered device I've ever seen, and it's the most beautiful work of art I've ever seen! ”

"Do you think it's easy to sell?"

Enver had seen the car and even ridden in it. Not long ago, when Elena's people contacted him, hoping that he could continue to fulfill the agreement he had signed with Elena, he even had the idea of asking someone to tear up the agreement. It's just that the nature of a businessman for many years made him resist the impulse and see Elena's hole cards. And it was this hole card that strengthened his confidence to continue to cooperate with Elena.

"It can't be a bad seller! The only thing I'm worried about now is how many of these cars Elena can provide! The production of this kind of car is very complicated, and I have studied that it would take at least 30 of our company's top craftsmen a month to make the same shell, without considering the steam engine. If Elena is too slow to make this car, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep up with the market......"

"This car wasn't meant to be in high volume," interrupted Chaka's handguard, "Elena told me at the beginning that this finished car was a limited edition model and that production was very limited each year. The first two cars, one for display and one for sale, will be auctioned at the spring auction two months later. I think it can be sold for a good price. ”

"But only one car can't help the surging power!"

Chaka was a little anxious. Previously, in order to fight against the Negro Republic and Elena, His Majesty's envoys promised to open the market to the Third Republic, and the steam engine of the Rand Power Company occupied the steam engine market that was originally controlled by Ankenrein in the surging power. The former Anken Rein First Steam Power Company almost collapsed before this impact. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't known the necessity of retaining an Anken Ruiin Steam Company for himself, and had set aside a part of the market for The Surging Power through various means, The Surging Power might have really become a second-rate steam company, and it would have been difficult to reach the pinnacle of the world's steam field from now on.

"What they really want to sell is the steam engine that this car carrys, called Chaoyang I. I think you can take this machine and make your own shell and make some cheap steam locomotives to sell. Based on what I know about Gastens, this Chaoyang type 1 steam engine should be much better than similar products of the RAND Corporation, right? ”

"That's nature, it's subversive! If it weren't for the fact that there was only one, we would have dismantled it a long time ago. If we can learn the manufacturing concept of this machine, our company's steam equipment production capacity will definitely be able to go to a big level! ”

"You'll have quite a few soon," Hedland picked up the glass of Lunding and took a sip, "their first supplies will arrive before the auction, so you're ready." When this red flag is sold, take out your surging power own products, do a good job of publicity, and you should be able to win the steam locomotive market. ”

"That's that, there is such a sharp weapon, as long as the supply is sufficient, we can not only defeat Rand in Anken Rein, but even go abroad and go to the Third Republic of Fern to fight them directly!"

Jeffrey Chaka seemed to be excited to talk, and his tone was full of trills. Rob Hedland looked at him helplessly and cursed.

"It's a bit of a show! It's a steam engine, not magic! If you can learn their steam engine, why should we work for them? ”

"That's that, that's that......"

Chaka agreed, but the expression on his face was not serious. The power of this Hongqi has been carefully examined, and it is definitely a design concept that is ahead of its time. If you want to imitate it, if nothing else, just understand its design ideas, it will take at least five years, not to mention the problem of mass production. Therefore, he is quite satisfied now, as long as Elena can give him the Chaoyang type, he can definitely make the surging power return to glory.

While Chaka was immersed in his imagination, Hedland had already skipped it. He picked up the copy of "Fluorite" again, read the content on the front page again, and then said softly.

"All men are created equal? It's ironic for an archmagus to say that. ”

Hedland's voice was not loud, and Chaka, who was immersed in his own world, did not hear it. And Hedland's words, because there was no response, gradually dissipated in the room.

————————————

"Joke! He is a suspected archmage, and told me that all men are created equal? ”

On the top floor of the Sanction Mage's Tower, Emperor Paul Gibson's temper was even worse, brandishing the Fluorite in his hand and cursing as he paced down the hall.

"Only those with the highest qualifications can become magic apprentices and activate magic spirits. If he, Gastens, was really the Grand Magus, if he really let go of that magic, he should know that there was no such thing as equality in the magic system that saved him from the damned Elena! Your magical aptitude is innate, born as a great mage, you may be a great mage, you were born no, no matter what! You let a great magister tell me that all are created equal? Isn't he ashamed?! ”

"Your Majesty."

Emile Owen followed Paul Gibson in the same direction, a little frightened. He had guessed that Elena would take countermeasures, but he didn't expect such countermeasures. In full view, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Boseman was shot to death, and they, until now, don't know what Elena killed with something!

"Your Majesty's fart!"

Paul Gibson is in a real hurry. If Elena's method of killing can be reused, then even if he is a king and an emperor, he may be killed by a bullet fired from an unknown place at any time!

"Give me a good check, check to death! What the hell did Elena use, and how did she kill Bosman! Hear no!! ”

Paul Gibson, who was in a rage, naturally didn't know that this was not the first appearance of Elena's sniper steam rifle. It's just that the last time they knew that Elena used this weapon, whether it was the Negru Republic or the Sixth Prince, had already died under the forbidden spell magic that was full of thunder. All that was left for Paul Gibson was a few vague words from the war report that Eliot sent back at the time.

"Today, Elena used a weapon with a very long range and killed Taijah Bush, commander of the Eastern Front Command of the Neglo Republic. We don't have any intelligence and information about this weapon, but the kid thinks that we should attach great importance to it, collect clues, and do a good job of countermeasures, so as to prevent the enemy from using the same means on our ......"

"I understand Your Majesty, we will do our best to find out!"

The head of the Royal Police, Filas Navre, stood in a corner of the hall and replied loudly, knowing the Emir's circumference. Paul Gibson glanced at Filas, snorted heavily, and sat down on the couch on one side of the hall. Ever since Gastens unleashed that forbidden spell, he'd loved to come to the Sanction Mage Tower to work, and he'd been spending more and more time here.

"Your Majesty, Ronninger's recent crackdown has been going well, we have ......"

"Okay, don't change the subject, although I'm angry, I'm not confused!" , Gibson patted the deputy on the sofa, "You continue to say, how to deal with the matter of serfs crossing the border?" ”

Seeing that his intentions were seen through by the emperor, the emir smiled bitterly and replied stubbornly.

"Now that Elena has killed Bosman, we have no intelligence and no countermeasures. If this continues, the movement of the border garrison will certainly be greatly restricted. Personally, I suggest that, in accordance with your previous instructions, focus on the control of serf crossings in the cities close to the border, so as to be tight inside and loose outside, and try not to leave Elena with an excuse to make trouble. At the same time, we must also strengthen the management of serfs throughout the country so that they do not easily flee from their masters. Only by keeping the serfs firmly bound to the land will they not go to Elena to cause trouble. ”

"They have even done the thing of rioting and killing the landlord, how else can they care? Counting on those landlords to have a way, I might as well count on Gastens himself to die suddenly! ”

Paul Gibson is not confused. After the Eighty-Two Massacre, Elena, who had the support of the Grand Magister, had a great adverse effect on the territory of Ankenrein. A large number of serfs began to move, and incidents of serf escapes occurred one after another, and even serf rebellions, riots, and collective escapes occurred in some places. He originally wanted to use the Bosman affair to stop this crooked wind, but he didn't expect to be broken by Elena's shot. Now, he himself has no good way to control the serf class in the country.

"Your Majesty," Emile Owen hesitated for a moment, and gave one of his own thoughts.

"Otherwise, let's take the initiative and give some freedom to the serfs? They're comfortable here, so they don't want to go there, right? ”
