Prologue: The Marcher...... (below)
The crisis happened in an instant.
A cargo ship plummeted from the third-order route, with its short balancing wings smashing into the walls of a nearby building, and then bursting the public transport pipes and forcing the Airbus to stop, causing panic and screams. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Shattered stones and glass fragments fell from the sky, and steel supports, which could not bear the weight, fell the next moment, and the civilians below did not think much about it, and immediately left the scene screaming.
Due to traffic jams, people in buses, trucks, and sedans fled on foot, and if they wasted any more time, the ship would hit the ground directly, and it was no joke if it exploded.
Jasmine's guards were well aware of the dire situation, and one of them ran to the driver's seat to push the driver away, then slammed on the gas pedal and rushed towards the sidewalk.
"What are you doing?! It's going to hurt ordinary people! It's too dangerous!! β
"For the sake of Lord Jasmine's safety, these people's sacrifices are not meaningless! But don't worry, Lord Jasmine, I won't run over civilians! β
Under the escort's driving, Jasmine's sedan directly broke into the crowd, the chassis bumped on the steps, and the guardrail was constantly knocked off, successfully entering the sidewalk area, enough for the car to move!
Although the driver wanted to stop it, he didn't dare to fight a tall and mighty-looking cockroach alien race, it was simply asking for trouble.
Jasmine, who had expected to hit civilians, found two of the four guards clearing the way ahead; It turned out that under their serious-looking suits, there were hidden reinforced armor, which, combined with their own combat ability, could easily push people away, and even push the car blocking the right side with their hands.
There was also a guard sitting beside Sabas, who took out a semi-circular prop from the box he was carrying, and after Sabas nodded, he pressed the button located directly above.
"Sabas, what's that?"
"It's a defensive device, bought from Brant at a high price; Please rest assured that it is all my own savings and is not included in the public expense. β
"No, that's not the point of the problem!"
Jasmine didn't know what to say for a while, after all, the situation on the scene was a bit of a scuffle, and the progress was a little fast.
"Leave those trivialities aside, Lord Jasmine, please be prepared for the impact!! That ship is going to explode! β
Sabas, who said this for some reason, shouted loudly. Jasmine didn't think about the basis of Sabas's statement, only knew that the reality was the same as he said, the cargo ship that fell to the ground exploded!
The ship that had lost control slammed its bow into the ground, the bridge twisting like a bullet colliding with a diamond wall, the seemingly hard steel creaking, and the sparkling fireworks engulfed the air around it in an instant, charging it up for its explosion.
ββββοΌοΌοΌοΌ The air was squeezed and spread, like a tornado out of thin air, and the streets that had been bustling with people suddenly turned into purgatory on earth.
The high-temperature flames ignited the nearby buildings, but fortunately they were mostly electronics, so the fire did not spread.
However, the trouble is that the ship keeps having two or three explosions, just like the CG picture of the volcano erupting in the movie, the ignited 'meteorite' continues to be from the sky, and vehicles, signs, shop windows, and even pedestrians are affected.
Bang! Several flames fell on the roof of the car, and the driver shrank in the passenger seat, shivering, but the guard who was currently driving the car was extremely calm.
The most troublesome of the onslaughts were accompanied by sparks sweeping through the streets, the civilians falling to the ground and curling up, while Jasmine's vehicle was unscathed by the shield.
On the other hand, the robot puppets that were dispatched when the accident occurred rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and while they suppressed the fire, the police force composed of humans and aliens also arrived one after another.
Jasmine looked at the center of the accident through the rear mirror, and although she was out of danger for now, she was still a little worried.
"Sabas, how did you know that ship was going to explode?"
"Actually, when I went to Earth, not only Lord Jasmine, but I also investigated the famous industries of Earth, didn't there be a logo on the side of that ship just now? It was a large fuel chamber ship; Even though the engine has explosion-proof function, the cargo does not necessarily have it, right? If you want to add an explosion-proof system to the storage tank of a large number of goods, the price is not low, and most of the merchants are guys who pick the door. β
"Was it an accident? Or is there another reason? β
"There's another guess...... It may also be that other forces have added the logo of a certain chamber of commerce to the side of the ship without authorization, so as to carry out the attack. β
As for the purpose of the guy who attacked Jasmine and his party......
Jasmine, who is the client, feels that she has two reasons for being attacked; One is the fiancΓ©e of the 'Son of God: Ahui' (so shy), and the second is the queen of Maurice.
Some people want to prevent Morris from trading with the Chamber of Commerce on Earth, and that 'person' is likely to be Morris's hostile countries, forces, and so on.
What a hateful fellow, no matter where he goes, he will be entangled by such troublesome characters, and there is no time to rest at all.
Occasionally, Jasmine wants to be an ordinary person, so she doesn't need to bear these pressures, she doesn't have to face these enemies, and she can live an ordinary life with the object she likes; It's just a matter of thinking about it, Jasmine, who is burdened with the expectations of others, knows that part of her fate will not change, so she can only fight with all her might.
Time doesn't stop when you think, and if you want to catch up, you have to go all out, which is the cruel reality.
Due to the urgency of time, the guards drove the vehicle directly towards the agreed summer resort, and on the way, Jasmine remembered the two guards who had left the car in the first place to open the way, and wondered how they were now.
As a responsible monarch, Jasmine believes that the lives of her subordinates are also important and worth cherishing.
"Sabas, what about the two people who ran out just now?"
"They're fine, they're ready to meet on the next street."
"That's good......"
Sure enough, on the next street, two cockroach species with partially charred bodies appeared at the end of the street.
Pedestrians were attracted by the accident not far away, so no one paid attention to the behavior of the two cockroach species, which was considered to be a safe rendezvous.
The two cockroach guards who re-entered the vehicle began to use the makeshift medical kit to treat their wounds, but fortunately, the burns were not serious and were not serious.
"I'm bothering you just now."
"There's no need for Jasmine-sama! This, this is what we have to do! ββ
The flattered two cockroach guards replied in a stammering tone, mixed with a little happy emotion in it.
It's best that everyone is okay.
Jasmine watched the streets gradually become quieter, except for the sound of the engines of vehicles and ships.
"Sabas, take this time to talk about who to trade next."
"Okay, that's exactly what I wanted."
ββββ
The first thing to say is that Jasmine does not plan to buy stocks on Earth, as she is not yet familiar with how the stock market of the Earth alien race works.
Everyone knows that ordinary small shareholders will never make a lot of money in their lifetime, after all, powerful companies and manufacturers can often manipulate the stock increase, and even directly make a stock fall by 50% through more despicable means, and then buy it back to raise the price.
To put it bluntly, the stock market is a war with no chance of reversal, rich people will always have money, and smart guys will not trade at a loss.
Occasionally, there are accidents, but Jasmine doesn't want to be a gambler, and likes the plot to be pulled away according to her own arrangement, although many times it doesn't go well......
"Morris's economy is mostly spent on domestic construction, and he has no free time or budget to study new energy-efficient transport ships, while on Earth there are cheap and good quality cargo ships; In order to speed up the export of domestic goods and the transportation of resources in the future, this time I will talk with the person in charge of the shipyard, and I will also participate in the meeting, such as one of the top officials of the earth machinery and shipping lines sent by Brandt, so we need to be cautious. β
"It's a group of professions linked to 'interests'~ It makes people have a bad premonition, and vice versa, it can be said to be a good thing."
Do you want to be a companion with someone who is not interested in money? Or do you choose to be a companion with someone who is interested in money?
In Jasmine, she would have chosen the latter.
A person who is not interested in money can make people panic, and they can't help but worry that the person has other bad intentions; Another guy who is interested in money is easy to understand, as long as you provide enough money to get support, isn't it great?
Of course, a thousand people can have a thousand opinions on a problem, and Jasmine is just expounding her own opinion.
"There's also a message from Morris's headquarters, saying that a group of heretics have been captured."
"Heretics?"
"Ah, a group of superstitious people who are superstitious about the past and always want to conquer the world, a little different from the pagans on the other side of the church."
"That's the people."
Morris has a legend that there is a prop at the far end of the universe that is enough to destroy the world, and someone used the prop to destroy a planet that gave birth to everything, and Morris is the fragment of that huge planet, the most important component of thousands of universes; Therefore, the king who rules Morris also has the qualifications to manage everything. γ
Thanks to this, there is a group of hot-headed guys, or stubborn guys, who think that Morris should put on the posture of a great power.
They were actually right, Maurice, as one of the few countries that unified the whole planet, also had some weight in the Cosmic Alliance.
Because since the beginning of the Great Cosmic Age, there have been strangers from other places on many planets, some of them are adventurers who are exploring new roads, some are invaders who are trying to conquer other countries, and among them there are also preachers who are vigorous and eloquent.
Some of these people occupy the mountains and divide their own territory to themselves, just like the unreasonable barbarians of ancient history.
The first two are actually easy to deal with, but the trouble is the last kind of 'missionary'.
In the past, people were always confused by the deeds of emperors and generals, the miracles of saints and priests, and the anecdotes of salvation and salvation in the mouths of missionaries.
Even if they wanted to stop it, they were forced to do so under pressure from their own believers.
In fact, it is not their beliefs that are powerful, but the blindness that comes from not being confident in life, and the blind strength makes people helpless.
Fortunately, however, the establishment of unified religious societies by many large religions curbed the emergence of religions established for the purpose of enriching themselves, and at the same time enacted laws to put an early end to the era of chaos.
There is no shortage of people who have fallen into the wrong way, they think that the unified Morris has the right to unify everything, they are dissatisfied with the status quo, and they want to do things.
"It's good to put those guys in prison, even if they have believers and companions, they will slowly lose the 'bonds' and 'ambitions' in their mouths in the passage of time."
"Yes, Lord Jasmine. It's just that the number of guys like that has started to increase recently, I don't know why, could it be that someone is deliberately playing ghost on Maurice? I'll have to let that old fellow Bicardo investigate. β
"Maybe it's always been...... Because I have something to do with going out, I take advantage of the loophole that Morris is not a real leader and take action, and they are all a bunch of guys who like to waste their efforts. β
Most of Morris's people are not so ignorant, they know what to do right.
Several of the guards didn't interject, they were all reading a map, a map of the summer resort they were going to next, planning their escape route in case of danger.
As the saying goes, 'not afraid of 10,000, just in case', it doesn't hurt to prepare in advance.
"Closer to home, the number of ships to be purchased this time is in a hundred, right? It was originally one hundred and thirty ships, but since the flagship needed to be repaired and strengthened, part of the budget was reduced. β
"A hundred is enough, plus Morris's own transport ships, as long as it's not at the peak, it's enough to use."
"Okay, you have to save money during this tight time."
"The pillow you ordered last time cost a lot, equivalent to a week's cost of ordinary people, and the built-in voice and HD vibration and 3D sensing are not cheap things."
"I'll make up for it with a part-time job!"
Jasmine blushed to stop Sabas from continuing, and several of the guards smiled with concern, believing that this was the lovely side of the Queen, and that it was essential! It's just a little unpleasant to let humans plant a little.
"Don't talk about that, Lord Jasmine, we're here."
Sabas, who didn't continue, looked out the window, and Jasmine put away her shy expression before.
"Let's go."
After opening the car door, Jasmine walked out, wearing a suit and wearing a shawl over it, looking very strong with her head held high.
When she gets her own problems solved, Jasmine will start to deal with the troubles on Yahui's side, and for the sake of her future husband, she has a plan to quickly solve all the troubles.
