Chapter 105: Hatchlings (4)
Warman couldn't stop the sailors from screaming and leaving, and certainly couldn't stop the black monster from hissing blue light and hitting the sailors. The people who had been beaten www.biquge.info had not hummed and lay limply in the hallway, dragged away by the black monster without any ability to resist, and their destination was the rooms on both sides of the deep corridor. Warman saw clearly and couldn't save them, but Warman noticed something strange in the other rooms on either side of the hallway. The interior of the different rooms is similar, but the difference lies in the brightness and darkness of the light. As Warman walked to the outside of a room and looked inside, the light inside began to brighten. For a moment, Warman felt uncomfortable, and then vanished. As Warman began to look into the other room, the light in the room he had just passed began to dim. Warman seemed to have noticed something, and he tried to walk back from here to there, and the light came back on, so he went back to the outside of the second room to take a closer look.
The room has a sleek table, as smooth as a few mirrors. The transparent cover on the table did not block Warman's gaze in the slightest, and he could see it clearly. Inside the hood was a monster, all Warman could say was that it was human-like only with its lower body, which was just a large lizard that looked disgusting. Warman couldn't see what his body looked like, but the crouching monster resembled himself. When Warman held back his nausea and continued to check, his hand involuntarily rested on his chest, and when he approached, the door opened automatically. Without any warning, Warman hesitated to go in and take a look, but he didn't notice that the black monster had already stopped behind him, there was no sound, only the red spot at the top of the place flickered, Warman didn't know why he had sent a ghost to go in, and lifted the cover on the stage. Although the cover is transparent, there is still a difference between seeing it through the cover and seeing it directly. This difference is indescribable, but it exists but is difficult to express.
The monster in front of him had rough skin, strong limbs, and a tall body, far more than ordinary humans. Warman reckoned that if he was upright, he would not be as tall as the monster's shoulders. The monster didn't move, only a slight tremor at the point of its heart, up and down. On the green body, only the middle part is covered with a narrow piece of cloth, and there are straps made of smooth material that look like the intelligence of the table at the ankles and wrists, and the monster is bound. Looking around the monster, in addition to being surprised, Warman seemed to have a feeling that he had seen the monster in front of him somewhere. Warman, who hadn't seen anything more, began to fill the room in large numbers. The room became softer and brighter as Warman entered, and was rarely furnished except for a table. Warman noticed that in one corner of the room, several flickering numbers appeared and disappeared regularly. He observed that for a while, it was actually numbers that kept flashing, and they would change each time they reappeared, but they remained stable overall.
Warman exited the room and entered the room where the black moving monsters had placed the sailors. There was nothing in that room, and Warman thought it was a cage for nothing. However, Warman was free to come and go, and since he couldn't think of a way to wake them up, Warman didn't immediately remove them from the room, but planned to continue walking down the corridor to see if there were any other strange things. The light in the hallway, like the light in those rooms, grew brighter and darker as Warman walked away. The corridors are tall and spacious, and there seems to be no end to them. The further Wolman went, the stronger the thought became, that Wolman had been here, and that this was the place he had been looking for for a long time from his wandering in the sea. The stronger the idea, the faster Warman went, and he wondered why Crols and the others suddenly stopped reaching out to him and Curris. The rhythmic footsteps of Freedom Warman sounded in the hallway, and he had not yet reached the end of the hallway when he had walked for a long time and began to get tired. The black monster behind him was like an obedient puppy, following behind Warman.
Warman couldn't walk, and since he had been caught in a whirlpool by bad sea weather, Warman had no food at all. The entire ship was also abandoned outside the building, presumably difficult to obtain, and apparently there was no food to store in the corridors of the sleek building. Warman endured his hunger and prepared to sit down and rest. The black monster circled around Warman and began to shine his red light up and down on Warman. Thinking that it was going to attack, Warman couldn't help but use his hand to block his face, and the black monster grabbed Warman's arm, and the black monster walked away, disappearing into the hallway. Warman felt better, just now the monster followed behind, as if he was spying on Warman. Especially a monster who can't speak, always following behind people, it will be very uncomfortable to change anyone. Warman leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest for a while, but as soon as he closed his eyes, a buzzing sound came from the hallway, and Warman immediately got up, ready for the unexpected.
The master followed the newly appointed governor of the two prefectures, Ke Meiyi, to Renhezhou, and did a good job of collecting news in advance. Along the way, the master told Mei Yi a lot about the situation in Hezhou. Hezhou is a place where it is easy to make contributions, and it is also a place where it is easy to lose one's official position and lose one's life, especially in recent years, and successive governors have had a headache. Mei Yi wondered, it stands to reason that it is often the poor mountains and bad waters that come out of the people, this Hezhou seems to be full of outstanding people, and the treasures of the world are bustling, how can it become a disaster? The master just said that he had heard about it, and hoped that the new governor Master Ke would be more vigilant. This is a good point, Mei Yi was happy and took his master to a micro-service visit. The bustling city on the street made many people linger, Mei Yi had to stop and go, and when half the street was not finished, someone followed behind, and the master secretly reminded Mei Yi, Mei Yi nodded, and the two began to cooperate to escape tracking.
When Mei Yi flashed into a slender alley in a few steps, the master behind him just blocked the way of those unknown people. A thin old man, if there is a discord in words, he will definitely suffer. Thinking of this, Mei Yi put away the fan and turned around to pick up the master. How do you know that the master has already entered the alley like no one else, and comforted Mei Yi not to worry. The few people who followed behind the master were the people who had just followed. Mei Yi was stunned, could it be that the master himself was eccentric? The master closed his fists, and introduced that the person who followed him was not a traitor, but a subordinate who came to invite Master Ke to the banquet. Dinner? Is Mei Yi even more strange, he has only been in Hezhou for a few days, and most of his interactions with people are official business, and he doesn't know much about other local squires, and there are probably few people who know that he came to Hezhou to take up his post. Mei Yi felt strange in his heart, and he was silent on the surface, he waved the paper fan and asked whose subordinate this was.
The road to the banquet was a bit long, and Mei Yi thought it was because of the unfamiliar road. Hezhou is surrounded by mountains, and the town is surrounded by a group, and the people have prepared a sedan chair to carry Mei Yi on the road. Originally, Mei Yi thought that just him and his master, I was afraid that there would be a lot of inconvenience and danger, and it was difficult to judge the geometry, so he was uneasy all the way. Nervous all the way to the end of the day, nothing happened, the group arrived at the east gate of the city safe and sound, slowly walked along the official road for several miles, began to turn into the forest path, along the paved stone steps up the mountain. Mei Yi lifted the curtain from the sedan chair and looked out, because there was nothing to do when he first arrived, and when he asked the people, he always got a reply, and the adults naturally understood when they arrived. The master's sedan chair followed behind, because it never stopped all the way, Mei Yi couldn't talk to the master, so he had to walk and watch patiently, and was ready to deal with weird and strange things.
Looking from the city, you can only see the west side of the mountains outside the city, and naturally you can't see the place near the top of the mountain, facing the east, there is a chic manor. Looking at the scale, it has to be an official eunuch or a wealthy person to afford it. The manor is vast, and the walls seen from the front Mei Yi feel that they are several miles long, not to mention that some of them are hidden in the woods. Coming out of the sedan chair, Mei Yi looked at the master, his voice was as usual, there was no abnormality, he couldn't help but be suspicious again, could it be that the master knew this place? Mei Yi deliberately slowed down, waited for the master to get close behind him, and pretended to be relaxed and asked, has the master ever swam here? Mei Yi was about to greet the master blurted out a categorical denial, who knew that the master stroked a few sparse beards and nodded yes! On the contrary, Mei Yi, who was questioned, was very embarrassed. The master continued, the master went forward by himself, and when he entered the house, he could naturally see the difference. Saying a gesture of invitation from the master, Mei Yi could only pick up the steps and enter the manor.
The road in the village is built according to the mountainous terrain, and there are winding paths that lead to the secluded wonders, and there are also clever ways to guide according to the situation. However, Mei Yi didn't care about these at this time, he forced himself to calm down, and said from the bright point that he was also a member of the imperial court, and no one dared to make a mistake casually, and from the dark side, he was a member of the Xiyi group. If the other party is also a force in the rivers and lakes, it will not be any disadvantage to Mei Yi, after all, the Xiyi Group is powerful. Mei Yi walked around the village, and finally came to a cave, at the beginning he still felt cool, and soon the coolness turned into a chill, as he went deeper into the cave, the chill became heavier. Mei Yi felt that the fan in his hand had become a funny ornament, so he simply accepted it and handed it to his master. The depths of the cave arrived, and in the center of the brightly lit cave, on the tall stone platform, there was a semi-prone thing, and Mei Yi couldn't see it clearly. There were a few people standing next to the stone platform, and Mei Yi guessed that these should be the masters.
Hawkins, since he returned from the unscrupulous Reverend Wells, has quietly arranged in the government according to the pastor's arrangement. Since the strength of Blees is in the interests of the mysterious group, it is the right thing to arm and promote Blees with the high and new technology given by the group. Hawkins's generous speech in parliament raised the praise of technology to a considerable level, and while it drew bursts of applause, it was also strongly opposed by the old diehards. Hawkins secretly met with the traditional power families in Parliament, and at the same time obtained the approval of Her Majesty the Queen, and the proposal was passed without any surprise. Subsequently, the entire empire issued decrees to encourage scientific and technological inventions, and even provided for specific incentives. In addition to the recognition and protection of the right to inventions, there are additional awards, and even the knighthood of Her Majesty the Queen. On the government agency side, at the initiative of Hawkins, the Royal Society of Science was established. After consulting with the priest, Hawkins placed a large part of the group into the Royal Society of Science. In fact, it is not difficult, and the members of the group who enter the association are leaders from all walks of life.
The news of the expedition to Emmeric's territory was delayed, and Hawkins asked the council to reconvene the fleet, but the council rejected his request. The reason is very simple, the news of Emmeric has not yet arrived, and the rash recruitment of new recruits and the assembly of the fleet cannot be explained to society. Which parliamentary bigwigs Hawkins hoped to get support from, failed. At this time, Pastor Wells quietly called on Hawkins, and he advised Hawkins not to rush and finish the business at hand first. Hawkins obeyed Wells's suggestion and demand, and turned his attention to the emerging machine textile industry in China. Intelligence officers sent to the countries of Europa brought back information that the Frans Empire, shortly after the expeditionary force sent by Breez, also sent its own fleet, the whereabouts of which are unknown. And the news from Frans that the friendly nobles who could be among the upper echelons of Frans was more accurate from Frans, who sent troops to intercept Breez from behind.
The dilemma for Hawkins is that Frans has not declared war on Belles until now, and the news of the Belles Expeditionary Force has not arrived, so Hawkins does not have any definite evidence that can declare war on Francs. Wells comforted the Prime Minister in time and told him to regain his composure and get busy with the work at hand. Compared with Frans, the machine textile industry in Brees has long been ahead. The huge demand for wool in Brus has not only led to the transformation of landowners into ranchers in the country, but also in many parts of Frans. According to Adams's theory, which was joined by the Center for Scientific Societies, if this trend continued, Frans would soon become an economic henchman of Breez, and Frans would lose his economic independence. And this loss will not be able to be made up by Frans relying on a sneak attack on Emmeric's side. Hawkins prayed that Frans's self-righteous Sun King would not come to his senses soon, and the economic news from Frans gave the prime minister enough confidence. As the ranchers of Frans counted the gold and silver coins in their pockets, they did not realize that their perilous fate was sealed.
Originally, the Royal Society of Science accommodated most of the scholars engaged in the natural sciences, but Wells suggested that Hawkins should accommodate various scholars of the society in the association. He also advised Hawkins to be skillful in controlling the Royal Society of Science. While scientific societies can be crowned with royal titles, the government would do well not to interfere too much. Hawkins heeded Wells's suggestion again, and the Royal Society of Science was free to flourish and no longer subject to government control of any research itself, except for donations from the nobility and the queen and Parliament. On the surface, the power of such a government is weakening, but the truth is that these middle-aged and elderly people, who are obsessed with research like nerds, have indeed turned their ingenuity into technology for the development of various manufacturing industries. Someone built a new type of boat at the dock that was not driven by wind and manpower, and someone multiplied the efficiency of spinning. All of a sudden, the queen began to regularly bestow titles on these people. This change has left many foreigners from the countries of the Europa continent stunned and amazed.
Just as Wells became a regular visitor to Hawkins' No. 10 residence, Hawkins also frequented Wells. From Wells, Hawkins received a lot of inspiration. The only thing that Hawkins is incomprehensible is Wells's statement that the bloodline that God gave to the members of the secret group was the source of wisdom. He further explained that these bloodlines contain God's insight, God's wisdom, God's insight, and God's feelings, which are certainly not comparable to ordinary earthlings. Wells cites several people who have entered the Royal Society of Science, saying that their scientific breakthroughs are largely due to their excellent pedigree. A good bloodline is like a fast fertile land, and any seed sown in this land will reap the most benefits. This is the reason why the kingdom of God is a thousand times higher than human life. Only by relying on its own excellence and controlling the most important social forces on the earth can the secret group ensure its control over the earth itself. The question that Hawkins asked, Wells never replied to. This time Hawkins asked again, is this our instruction from the gods? Wells was a little sluggish and ambiguous in replying, it was, and it may be, and it may not be in the future.
