Chapter 85: Sprouting (4)

It's not just Curris who is surprised by these crazy ideas, but Warman also looks surprised. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info He was hesitating for the other few days to tell his master about the strange thing that the servant had discovered, and the servant, who had always been steady, had already rushed in, and it was evident that the bell that Curris had installed worked very well. The rapid three ringings of the bell had never been encountered by the servant, and as an honest and loyal black slave servant, he knew all the tricks needed to avoid suffering. He didn't know how far away it was from the continent of Ephyrek to here, and he didn't know how to get back there. The land, the mountains, and his dear folks, often appeared in his dreams, only to wake up to find himself lying in a country house in the northern part of the dry continent of Emmeric. Even if it's a dream, it doesn't always come true. Yes, for a few days, the guard dog in the middle of the night seemed restless and barked wildly, which must have disturbed the owner's rest. The servant turned his head to look at the service dog, which was still basking in the sun, and pouted, maybe it should have been driven away.

The servant Mo Mumu, who rushed in not long after the bell fell, was still shaking slightly with his apron. Curris looked up at him and asked about the dog. Mo Mumu couldn't explain it, in fact, the care dog not only showed great anxiety, but also increased his aggression a lot. Warman agrees with this, as the straightened leash around the guard dog's neck is evident when he enters. Curris was helpless, he needed to find a reason for his sudden change of mind and uncontrollable mentality, but definitely not against a dog or a black slave. Curris has always believed that blacks and whites should not live together, and that each has their own reasons for living. Of course, he did not approve of treating black people like animals, a view he had revealed in public on several occasions and had been endorsed by many people in the business community. Curris waved his hand, told the servant to take care of the guard dog and not hurt anyone, and sent him out.

Warman told Kuris that he had thought of sacrifice and death in the future, and that there would be war between the North and the South, and that it was during this inspection and unannounced visit that Warman had gathered similar information. Plantation owners in the South often gather around a larger plantation to discuss the future of the Amerik Territory. As for the route that Blees designed for them, most people felt that it did not need to be changed. The proprietors who do not fully agree with this are merely disagreeing with the prices specified by Breez for the various crops traded. Warman said he had even heard that some of the plantation owners had signed declarations of public support for the government of the overlord of Blis. After listening to this, Curis said in a low voice and a little decadence, could it really be that there will be a war waiting for this continent in the future? Soon, the gloom was replaced by the excitement, and Currysho stood up, walked quickly around the table, waved his arms, and shouted loudly, maybe war is inevitable, then call him damn fast.

Hawkins knew he didn't have to lament the fact that he was a good friend envoy and a high-ranking member of the group. After all, he knew that the group's abilities were beyond anyone's imagination, not only a mysterious existence, but also an extremely powerful existence. Regarding the state of the Bruise Overseas Territories, the group's instructions to Hawkins were simple, to maintain the core interests of Breuz. Such instructions made Hawkins understand once again that the unseen members of the group were hidden in front of the princes, princesses, councillors, and knights. It doesn't matter who they are, what matters is that they are the actual masters of this empire, and that's enough. Therefore, whether it is a sketch given by the envoy or a situation brought back, Hawkins needs to deal with it immediately. Hawkins is not just looking at the specifics of the response, but also the scale of action. The dual identity brought him more pressure. On the same night that Hawkins was ready to present his new annual plan for the management of his overseas territories to Parliament, the envoy conveyed through his servant the idea of a meeting.

If it was still a simple friendship in the past, Hawkins could politely refuse, but the envoy represents the group, which means that it is very unwise to refuse. The arrival of the special envoy was obviously also aware of the release of that plan. The envoy was still polite and flawlessly treated by the Imperial Prime Minister, but unfortunately all this was an illusion. When the servant who brought the coffee withdrew and closed the door, the envoy reached out and asked for the plan. After reading the plan in a very short time, he threw it on the table with some contempt, saying that it was not enough, or that it was wrong. The Imperial Prime Minister's days of hard work were dismissive, and Hawkins, though not satisfied, waited for the envoy's advice. The envoy stood up and tried to pull out the rapier on the wall on one side of the fireplace, saying that the overseas territories needed some blood and carnage! The rapier was not drawn, and the envoy had to wave his arm, and said that this was it. Hawkins was about to express his opinion when the envoy waved his hand to stop him, saying that you don't understand. This is not just a struggle between overseas territories and the Breechian suzerainty. Now that the envoy has expressed this, Hawkins cannot insist. He drastically revised the main content of the plan and added a clause on the use of military means to suppress heretics in extraordinary times. Although these provisions may seem incompatible with the rest of the plan, they can certainly be passed in Parliament. The Group will certainly do so.

Hawkins was wrong this time, and the annual plan, which he had painstakingly revised overnight, was rejected by a majority vote in the first round of parliamentary discussions. It was the first time that the Prime Minister had encountered such embarrassment, and the expression on Hawkins' face was complicated, which everyone in the parliament hall remembered that day. If the first round did not pass, there was no need for a second round of discussions. Hawkins, who had no intention of listening to the various proposals of the ministers, left the council and drove back to his official residence at No. 10 after the meeting. He needed to summon an envoy to discuss the matter, but he didn't expect that the envoy was already waiting for him in his office. Looking at the envoy's appearance, it seems that he already knows what happened to him today. By the time Hawkins had finished talking about his embarrassment, the envoy was still sipping black tea. Hawkins couldn't help but say, would you like to give your opinion on this. The envoy smiled and said that it was expected, that this was originally the group's plan. As soon as Hawkins heard it, he understood that he had been fooled unabashedly. But what about the members of the group who fooled him? Hawkins forced his anger and said that he would like to hear about it.

Mei Yi disappeared again, this time without even anyone accompanying him. The housekeeper searched every pier on the island and counted the large and small boats, proving that Mei Yi left the island without the help of any tools this time. The abnormality that Ruixi saw before had nothing to do with Mei Yi's departure this time. Because Mei Yi went and returned until he disappeared again soon after, the people on the island were really panicked, and Ruixi was too lazy to bother with it, and the red-haired people on the sea who didn't know where they came from quickly replaced the panic brought by Mei Yi. The red-haired Fanren came by boat, speaking a completely incomprehensible language, from exchanging goods with the islanders at the beginning, to occasionally harassing the islanders, until later they began to plunder the whole island, Ruixi felt that he was overwhelmed. The islanders unexpectedly encountered hope in the raid, and the biggest raid of the red hair became the last raid. When the object that could not be seen clearly jumped up from the sea where the red-haired ship was anchored, it overturned the ship, and the orange light that erupted from the tail of the thing ignited the cannon on the big ship, and the whole big ship was blown apart and scattered on the sea. The sudden change hit the red hair who landed on the shore, and the morale of the islanders took advantage of the situation to destroy the enemy. Ruixi experienced such joys and sorrows, and soon could not stand and go out, lying on the bed every day, watching his life fall day and night.

The housekeeper severely restricted visits to Ruixi, and he made up many reasons. It's really because Ruixi, who is bedridden, is completely unpresented, and the housekeeper thinks that he has a reason to help his master hide it. Ruixi's entire body has become thicker, and his tail sticks out from behind him, hindering Ruixi's flat bedridden posture. From the wrinkled skin, it can be seen that Ruixi has also reached the point of running out of oil and drying up. The housekeeper pinched his fingers and calculated, this Ruixi is just a person who knows the destiny of heaven for a short time, how can he age like this? But he quickly recalled an old story. This Ruixi, when it appeared in the Ke family, was simply abrupt. Although the housekeeper has not seen Ruixi's father, that is, the birth of the grandfather, he has been with the grandfather for a long time. Reminiscing, the butler was convinced that he had never seen the scene where the old woman was pregnant for ten months. It seems that there is only Ruixi's croaking and falling, and then Ruixi's growing day by day. Thinking about it this way, it is not an accident that Ruixi's body has been strong and superhuman since he was a child. This Ruixi was an abnormal person, and the housekeeper gasped, lamenting that these understandings of the Ke family made him even more confused.

The island of the boat boss eventually became the island of September, and because of the two of them, and the living habits brought by the black people, the island became nondescript. It's not the most peculiar thing on the island, it's the children of September and the eldest that are the most surprising and unsettling. Since childhood, he has been tall and walks differently than his parents. Especially the children in September showed a particularly strong fierceness. Coupled with September's careful training, several brothers gradually became the leaders of the islanders. In September, he relaxed his mind and managed the island with these descendants. Because of the fierce guards of their children and grandchildren, the white people who carried the blacks to the island several times were defeated. Some blacks were even rescued and settled on the island. After a long time, the reputation of September Island on the nearby shipping routes grew, and those high-nosed white fans from Europa had to pass by obediently, and at most trade with the islanders for some fuel. September has hidden worries, and the thoughts of children and grandchildren are different.

Hawkins was annoyed, but he couldn't release it. The mystery and majesty that the Collective brought to him made him have no other choice, and the envoy said slowly, we need to give the entire empire the impression that the Empire's overseas territories need to be maintained with bayonets and muskets, otherwise, it will be unbearable. Hawkins' retort was unnecessary, and the envoy reprimanded him for complying and left. Hawkins had a preliminary idea in his hand with a copy of the plan that the envoy had revised with a quill before he returned. A few days later, in Parliament, the prime minister, who had already taken a moderate attitude, came up with a revised plan for the special envoy. This time, it passed without any thrill, and the lawmakers sneered inwardly at the applause that the plan was passed. The sneer in his heart continued as he bowed in thanks, and the envoy had informed Hawkins the day before that he would be leaving for the territory of Emerik that day to observe the territory's movements directly.

The war that Curris longed for under his fanaticism will naturally not be as simple as a sentence. Northern businessmen also rallied, and there was no shortage of agitation for a showdown between the realm and the government of the Empire of Britain. When some people ascended to the heights to call for a negotiated settlement, they were instead met with insults and attacks. This is a good sign, and it is in line with Curris and Colors' previous basic judgment of tense. Curris has only privately expressed support for the break, but he has never made it clear and public. So when Warman came up to him and told him that someone had taken away a whole shipload of high-end tea from Breos or something, Curris only bowed his head to indicate that he knew, and at best he was doing a good job. Curris knew that this kind of medieval knightly raiding and destruction would only anger the imperial government at best, and that the destruction of the tea trade that the empire had insisted on for many years would not have a fundamental destructive effect. He said to himself that it might be better if the route was threatened.

As the island prospered in September, his children and grandchildren used their accumulated wealth to buy ocean-going ships that could not be built on the island. The boat was exchanged with the red-haired Fan, and when the red-haired people sent the ship, they also brought a "deal". Without September's knowledge, the young adults on the island, led by September's children and grandchildren, began to lick the blood and plunder the white blonde ships on the route. Curiously, the raid didn't last long when it was interrupted by an accident. The children and grandchildren who fled back to the island in embarrassment told about their adventures. It turned out that this raid was originally well planned, especially after being informed by the red-haired fan, I thought it would be a matter of course. After approaching the target, before they could help jump ship, the red light emitted by the thing that was speeding up against the surface of the water effortlessly smashed the solid armed merchant ship. Scattered bales of cargo float to the surface of the sea and cover a large area. However, the raiders had long been frightened by the monsters, and where did they still have the heart to salvage the goods, and then quickly returned to the sea. Just as he was returning, the monster was reluctant to chase after him, and then quickly pierced through the sky and roared away, and someone on the boat said that he saw the red-haired man on the monster. This strange appearance soon reached the ears of September, who was a little faint and old. In addition to calling his children and grandchildren to scold, he learned in detail about the time before and after the arrival of the red hair, and immediately ordered to prohibit contact with all overseas visitors.

September has his own considerations, and for the monsters that appear, he naturally connects them with what happened to him in his early years. The red-haired people first instigated the islanders to loot, and then drove monsters to smash the cargo ship. He asked his children and grandchildren to gather manpower and patrol the whole island day and night to prevent accidents. When the children and grandchildren suffered from this abnormality, they did not dare to take it lightly, and worked diligently to patrol day and night.

Hawkins reads the usual messages and text messages from the newspapers that his secretary has copied in the morning, which is a necessary lesson as a prime minister. There's a lot of important information in it, and it's earlier than it is now. The ocean-going cargo ship Queen, which sailed from Bruis to the territory of Emmeric, disappeared from the ocean. At the same time, several medium-sized cargo ships laden with woolen textiles disappeared, leaving no people or goods. At first glance, this is not surprising, not only is the ocean voyage dangerous, but in terms of the Empire's navigation technology, it is not a life-and-death life, let alone a loss of people and goods. He summoned his secretary and asked him to arrange a summons with the manager of the firm where the cargo ship was located, and then went through other news. The next few were nothing out of the ordinary, except for a report of black raiders on the Southern Ocean route. Hawkins couldn't help but laugh, how did a black man know to sail a big ship to plunder at sea? After laughing, Hawkins's gaze inadvertently fell on the global map opposite, and an inadvertent glance confirmed his thoughts, that route was thousands of miles away from the continent of Ephyrek. The person who sent the news back must have been a madman, Hawkins judged. At the end of the message, there was a signature, and Hawkins saw a name that he was familiar with. This man has a good business reputation, and he travels back and forth between empires and territories all year round, could it be that he is already crazy? Seeing that there was still time to spare, he decided to go and see the acquaintance and verify the news by the way. If this is true, the Imperial Navy will really need to go on an expedition. True, the plundering of the Empire's merchant ships was a serious provocation to the Empire, which deserved to be dealt with and destroyed in the most severe way.
