Chapter 1534: Recent Situation in the Empire
readx;
Since the end of the Iron Prison Incident, Adele, who has returned to Heavenly Star with Allen, has not yet known the news of Horn, and at this moment she heard that she was overjoyed: "Mr. Horn is still alive?" โ
"Well, the old man is not only alive, but also has created another legend. It www.biquge.info's a pity that he isn't here, otherwise you would have met him. โ
Chatting all the way, the buggy drove into a small town. The town seems to have just been built, and there are many civil houses everywhere, especially shops. Looking at a long street, all kinds of shop signs are dazzling. "This town was built by our family, and as you can see, there are all kinds of shops here, and it's very easy to buy and sell. Didn't the message you gave me before say that there are some Heavenly Star supplies to be shipped back for sale, I think I can eat your batch of goods here. โ
Adele said: "There are a lot of materials transported back this time, mostly minerals. Since this town belongs to your William's family, of course there is no problem. โ
"You won't lose anything." Leon stopped in front of a tavern, opened the car door, and Adele jumped out. Leon said, "Let's have something to eat first, let's talk while we eat." โ
Adele looked up, and the tavern shop was painted with a goat, and she asked, "This is also your family's business?" โ
"Of course not." Leon smiled: "We're not so stingy yet, this tavern is for sisters and brothers." His parents were killed in the war, and with some savings, he opened a tavern in the town. The wine they brewed was not bad, and the younger brother cooked a good dish. As for my sister, hey, all I can say is that it's beautiful. โ
It was as if Adele had seen someone show a wolf's tail.
Leon said with a look of course: "Why do you look at me like this, is it wrong to like a good woman?" Besides, if I hadn't been a regular visitor to this tavern, do you think a pair of powerless siblings could live here? Alright, Adele, we'll just take what we need. โ
"I thought you'd find a woman to marry." Follow Leon into the tavern, Adele said. Since it was afternoon, the tavern was not officially open. The shop was dimly lit, two men were drinking at the bar, and there was a drunk man lying on the table by the window, but there were no other customers.
Seeing them come in, the two men at the bar looked over and saw that it was Leon and nodded. Leon said to Adele: "What's so good about getting married, how can there be excitement with pickling girls." Besides, what I'm pursuing is not the pleasure of **, but the touching process of getting to know a girl, don't confuse me with other men. โ
Gesturing to the two men, they left the bar and sat down in a corner. Adele knew that it was Leon's people, and it was probably arranged to protect the siblings in the tavern. She didn't break it, and sat down on a high chair in front of the bar with Leon, behind whom a graceful woman was wiping her wine glass, and soft music was playing on the speakers not far away. Seeing Leon, the woman smiled and said, "What do you want to do?" โ
"The old rule, and ask Peter to bring us a roast chicken, and don't forget that I want tomato juice."
Leon pouted at Adele Nunu: "As for this young lady, she prefers black pepper sauce." โ
"Okay, wait a minute." The woman walked to the back kitchen.
Adele looked at Leon with some surprise, the woman's appearance can only be said to be acceptable, but compared to Leon's former girlfriends, it is not a little worse. Leon spread his hands and said, "Why, it's not bad to change the taste once in a while." โ
Soon, the woman returned and expertly mixed two cocktails for the two. Leon pushed one of the cups in front of Adele's eyes and said, "Try it, I'm sure you'll like it." โ
Adele took a sip and it tasted okay. However, for a person from a famous family like her, a woman's bartending skills are not superb, but they are okay. However, Leon was drunk and intoxicated, so he didn't know if he was really intoxicated or if he was coaxing a woman to be happy, and Adele thought that the latter was more likely.
After a few small talks with Leon, the woman could see that they had something to say, but did not bother and walked to the side to pack up their things. Leon put down his wine glass, exhaled his wine and looked at Adele and said, "It looks like you're doing well in Heavenly Star?" โ
"Well, we're the right bet." Adele tapped the rim of the cup with a slender finger: "After Alan left the Heavenly Star, the sword lord Masson came forward to testify that the former prime minister appointed by Hausen was the murderer of Targario. Coupled with Haosen's previous arbitrary and reckless behavior, it was very unpopular. After repelling the Shadow Duchy, we supported the second prince, Julian, to go north. Just last month, we stormed the imperial capital of Ollista. Hausen was killed in the scuffle, and Julien has now succeeded him. So you see, we're in a very good situation. โ
"Sounds good."
"Yes, although Alan has been gone for almost a year, but because our people are still fighting in the Heavenly Star, and we have made great efforts in the war between the north and the imperial capital, Julian has given Alan the title of honorary marquis, and the territory is temporarily managed by Edward. Not to mention Allen, even Edward has been promoted to earl, and now our territory is extremely wide, and it can be said that most of the south is in our pockets. Coupled with the fact that Father Mirรณ and Vera's Catholicism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are hundreds of thousands of congregants in the South, so now in the Empire, our influence can be imagined. โ
At this time, the roast chicken was ready, and a young man came up with two pots of roast chicken, smiled and put them in front of Leon and said, "Please use it slowly." โ
Adele cut a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth to chew it, it tasted good, and she said as she ate: "But it's not without obstacles." โ
"Oh, someone is jealous of your power?" Leon was not surprised at all, he had grown up in a large family, and he was all too familiar with this power struggle.
"Perhaps, anyway, a few days before I returned, there was a rumor of Ollist's opposition to the Marquis of Allen. I don't know where those people got the news that Alan is a man from outside the world, and they dug up our past deeds as well. Although Julian immediately replied that he did not believe such a thing, when I saw this young majesty once, I could feel that the way he looked at us was already a little different. โ
"And what are your plans?"
"Edward said that Julian is more afraid of our army and the strong than Allen's identity. In this war to the north, the dragon legions of the Empire, especially our ordnance, have alerted the emperor. So after returning to the south, Edward had already carried out a planting army. In addition to the thoughts of His Majesty, at the same time, he also strives for excellence in the army, and at the same time can save military spending, which Edward said is a triple win. โ
Leon smiled: "I will do the same for me, but this kind of determination is not simple, it seems that Alan has picked up the treasure, there is such a person to stay in the Heavenly Star, no wonder he left with his hand." โ
Adele rolled her eyes and said, "He also had no choice but to leave." โ
"Okay, okay, I owe it." Leon raised his hand in surrender.
Adele said: "But even if Julian has any ideas, he doesn't dare to show them immediately. Now that he has just succeeded him, he has a shallow background, and he does not have three or five years to cultivate his own strength, so he does not dare to take those of us who have meritorious service lightly. What's more, our territory is the gateway to the south of the empire, and once something happens, it will directly affect the foundation of the empire. Previously, after Julian succeeded him, he had proposed to exchange a fertile territory in the middle of the empire, but Edward politely declined. After all, the south is where our foundation lies, and only by gaining a firm foothold there can the empire be feared. โ
"And with a natural ally like Zora in the south, and Iron Lance Ridge as a barrier, we have an advantage in terms of geography and connections. Julian wanted to use a piece of the Central Territory to quietly erase our advantage, but he underestimated Edward too much. โ
Leon laughed, patted Adele's shoulder and said, "Don't talk about this, come back this time and have fun for a few days." As for your business, I will make it watchable, and you will be indispensable. If you don't worry, in the future, in addition to the materials of your Heavenly Star will have to be handed over to Beskode, the others can cooperate with us. โ
Adele picked up the wine glass and touched Leon's glass lightly and said, "This is also the purpose of my search for you, but first of all, we are still very poor now, but we have no commission for you." โ
Leon spread his hands and said, "Am I like the kind of person who would take money with my brother?" โ
Adele looked at him seriously, and only when she saw Leon's face almost stepping off, she laughed: "Okay, I know you're not." โ
Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
By the time the two of them walked out of the tavern, it was already evening, and the sky was getting dark, and the town was brightly lit, illuminating their way back.
Far away on the other side of the distant star path, the Balgaon Empire of the Heavenly Star was also shrouded in night. The most prosperous city in the south today is not the Dawn Castle or the Bauhinia Ridge, but the Ark Port, which occupies the north-south transportation hub. The port city was in decline after the death of Count Auban, but after Jora and Orlando got married, the city gradually improved. A major turning point came after the reception of the second prince Julian, and when Julian successfully sat on the throne of the castle palace of Auroville, the city began to attract attention.
Today, Ark Harbor has become a city that never sleeps, and even in the middle of the winter night, the lights of the city have never been extinguished.
In the city, the cathedral is certainly a sight. Catholicism has taken deep root in the empire, and its teachings are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are hundreds of thousands of believers in the South. As the origin of this church, there will naturally be a cathedral in Ark Harbor. Especially in the past few days, when Father Mirรณ and Vera have returned, the threshold of the cathedral has been almost leveled for the faithful. But it was late at night, and there was no one in the church except for a few nuns praying. So they were all surprised when they saw Father Mirรณ walk in. After all, this priest wakes up later than anyone else and goes to bed earlier than anyone else.
