Chapter 661: Warning
Because of its proximity to the port, the Barrenna Academy directly took over the task of receiving Houdini and Karen's envoys. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info As a result, Councillor Rotica has direct jurisdiction over specific matters, and at this time he is holding the budget sheet written by his subordinates, and after a few hasty glances, he opens his mouth to reprimand:
"Houdini said that the emissary of the Karen kingdom brought his own guards? Hehe, that's good, just let him do his own pomp and circumstance when the time comes, what does this have to do with us? What are you writing about the welcome ceremony? With so much budget to spend on finding someone to throw petals and set up a formation, is it enough to support it? Which onion is the emissary from such a small place as the Karen Kingdom? Giving him a temporary way out of the road is considered to be a face-saving one! ”
The attitude towards the emissaries clearly represents a dominant ideology of the current rulers of the country. At the beginning, in order to decorate the façade, Charles II was eager to show his dominance by pulling everyone out and placing them in a vase for others to see - but he was also pretending, but Rasiman pursued "strength is king" and did not want to bother with the details.
Not all countries are "ceremonial states", and Laciman's group of statecraft are obviously teleological guys, too lazy to be superficial and polite.
The subordinate who was reprimanded understood what the councillor meant, so he deleted and changed the contents of this list on the spot, and presented it: "What do you think, my lord? ”
Originally, the lodging he had arranged for Roddy and the others was in the upscale hotel near the "Colommere" Magic Tower, but now with the instructions of the Councillor, it was natural to pull the work towards Tucker Lane, the most economical of all, which was not called a slum, but it was basically a street of taverns for those retail merchants and hawkers.
"In terms of food, I'll just say hello to these taverns at that time, just make do with what I can eat, and if they are not satisfied, they can pay for it themselves."
At this point, Councilor Rotica nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, a good magic crystal should be used in a high-level magic circle." These little characters who eat mixed rice can just pass it away. Anyway, I'll let them get a good idea of what despair is. ”
These remarks were not made in private, but have been expressed publicly on many occasions. Yet, far from being criticized, his words won unanimous approval from all over the political arena - a fact that naturally illustrates the remarkable fact that such were the values of the Rasiman Kingdom.
Their prejudice and arrogance towards the kingdom of Karen are preset positions. Therefore, for such "weaklings", it was not thought of giving any respect ... Because "the weak do not deserve respect" is the common belief of the mages.
What is the Scorn of the Emissary? The Ballenna Academy actually had a string in their hearts, they hadn't forgotten the message Houdini had sent in the first place, so no matter what method they used this time, they had to make the Karen Kingdom realize that they didn't deserve to have the right to trade on an equal footing with Rassiman.
And as for the "cobalt-gold mine" ... Naturally, they were prepared for the other hand.
For Barlenna's unabashed remarks and methods, Jeremy, the speaker of the parliament, is actually very clear. But because it was clear, he didn't make any comments on it.
Where there is a conflict of interest, there is a conflict of interest, Houdini himself is stupid and gets into trouble, and Jeremy is not the umbrella of the Blunka Academy, so naturally he will not help - and he also knows that such "sitting idly by" is actually tantamount to favoring Barrena.
But for the sake of the whole Rasiman, Ballenna came up and directly targeted the envoys of the Karen Kingdom, which was actually the result he wanted... Magicians are too lazy to take the time to be polite, and if someone is willing to test each other at the first time, Jeremy definitely can't ask for it.
In the face of a huge power gap, will these visitors from other countries be unable to bear it? Jeremy thought about this kind of problem, but he didn't worry about any outcome at all: if he could bear it, he would bear it, and if he couldn't bear it, he would get out, and Rasiman was not a shelter and welfare home, and he would only respect the strong and not show mercy to the weak.
This is the foundation of the founding of Master Rasiman. Otherwise, how could a dozen or so small countries around it obediently bow down to their vassals? How is it possible to send a team to offer every year?
Speaker Jeremy finished reading the memo for today's meeting and wrote a brief outline for the next meeting. He got up and walked to the front of the laboratory for a few seconds, then sighed and turned to leave.
He really wanted to continue to complete the experiment according to his vision, but apparently the bottleneck encountered in this experiment was more serious than he imagined, and after repeating the test for a month, he felt that he had a dead end in front of him without getting qualified data.
But how easy is it to change the way you experiment? The limitations of the existing conditions forced him to interrupt the experiment, and Jeremy felt that he needed to completely relax and rest his mind for the past few days, and it no longer made sense for him to simply repeat the experiment.
Leaving the Magic Tower and carrying a bag of fishing gear, Speaker Jeremy grabbed a straw hat and wandered to the cliff near the edge of the city. He looked at the boulder where the waves were crashing, and unsurprisingly saw a familiar figure, and then he used the "levitation technique" to step down from the cliff and came to the old guy who was fishing.
He tapped the rocks with his wand, as if the melted stones had immediately conjured into a suitable bench. Jeremy slowly loaded the fishing gear and bait, flicked the hook, sat down peacefully and began to wait.
The old man next to him had white hair and looked older than Jeremy. Although he wore a washed white linen short, he was actually a strong man in Rasiman.
In terms of combat ability, this old man is much stronger than Jeremy, and he can be described as a strategic-level existence. However, he is good at fighting and neglecting research, so he does not insist on experimentation and essay writing like Jeremy.
"Seeing that you guys are quite pompous, why do you still have the heart to fish now? Isn't it too busy to sleep? ”
The old man's voice was very easy-going, and the fishing rod was propped up at his feet, completely like wasting his time in the sun. This kind of rock originally had a lot of noise because of the continuous lapping of the waves, but because of the existence of the "silent barrier", the old man's words were clearly heard by Speaker Jeremy.
"These things are small things, nothing to worry about. Fishing is also a change of mood, and the recent experiment has not been smooth. ”
Jeremy's tone was a little respectful, after all, the old man in front of him was a senior, even if he didn't participate in politics, the weight of his words was still very heavy.
"Really? Then I guess what you have to worry about is that there is one more thing, and I plan to find you in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today, so I'll talk to you. ”
Jeremy's brow furrowed slightly, and his face became much more serious. This old man usually never talks much, and I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter at this time. He saw that the other party waved his hand, and a spherical block of ice floated up under the surface of the sea, and among it was the body of a "fishman" who looked murderous, but lacked arms and legs!
