Chapter 754: The Storm Will Rise
"How often have you been in the bloodline now?"
"Now, if you don't eat anchovies, you still ...... once a day."
Since finding an anchovy that can satisfy the tidal bloodline, there has always been a special anchovy farm near the Qingshu Islands, and there is a calming period of about three days for eating an anchovy, and he has also tried to cut off the anchovies himself, but the bloodline riot is still once a day.
"Then it's not a question of strength, but a change in bloodline, is your family a half-giant?"
"My sister is, my parents shouldn't. ”
Kylot has no memory of his parents, but Beatrice has told him when he is by his side that their parents are normal people, not half-giants.
"The bloodline of the next generation is activated, this situation ...... Low energy!"
This time, there was a formulaic hint, the act of continuously activating the alchemy circle consumed a lot of energy, and after the few energy crystals that were already left were consumed, the energy reserves in the floating city quickly bottomed out.
"Oh no, without energy, there is no way to continue the analysis, if you want to know the problem of bloodline, bring me some energy crystals again!"
"I may not be able to come in the near future, the affairs in the organization are heavy, and it takes too much time to go to sea to come here, and according to your energy consumption rate, if the number of spars is less, at most alleviate the energy crisis for a while......, right? You're going back with me?"
"No! I will never help strangers with impure purposes. ”
"Hey~ How can you say that you are a stranger? I am a half-giant, your master created the race, and you were also created by him, even if there is the same creator, right?"
Isn't he just a machine spirit? Kailott still doesn't believe that he can't kidnap a little girl with his intelligence.
"Kind of makes sense. ”
"In addition, you have misunderstood one thing from the very beginning, I came to you, not to let you attack anyone, but to hope that you can come to protect us half-giants, and now the outside is about to fall into turmoil, we are both ancient alchemists created existence, shouldn't we support each other?
"Just protection?"
"Of course, between us, your authority is higher, isn't it, can I still order you to do something?"
Qingshu doesn't plan to take the initiative to fight anyone now, what he pursues is self-development, and with the all-metal floating city, the safety of the Qingshu Islands has the most solid guarantee.
"That's right, you give me the coordinates of your place, and I'll go there myself!"
After figuring it out, the rest is simple, and with the remaining energy, the Floating City can also make the final jump.
"Okay, I'll contact the people on the sea right away and ask them to send you the coordinates. ”
Abduction successful!
Now Kailot doesn't know how far-sighted it was to successfully convince Floating City to go and protect the Castle Islands......

Thundered~
Accompanied by thunder, December came in a wet torrential rain, an unprecedented rainstorm that suddenly hit three regions of the Lorraine Empire, including Stoano, before the onset of winter, causing rivers to rise sharply and large numbers of people displaced by the floods.
Inside the Imperial Royal Castle
"Waste! A bunch of waste! What about the ministers in charge of construction and people's livelihood?"
After reading the flood control report presented below, Andrei the Great, who held the greatest authority in the Lorraine Empire, took a deep breath and suppressed his anger as much as possible.
There are a total of eight areas in the empire that focus on flood defense, and I don't know how much is allocated every year, but as a result, five of them collapsed in a rainstorm!
The state treasury provided disaster relief and issued an announcement to allow various regions to temporarily accept refugees, but the result? According to incomplete statistics, the number of refugees is at least 500,000!
"Mistress Maginot and Mistress Spencer are already waiting outside. ”
The attendant replied quickly, for fear that the king's wrath would be poured out on him.
"Let them get in. ”
Gritted his teeth and looked at the door.
"My king, I'm ashamed of you, I'm ashamed of the Lorraine Empire!"
"My king!!I am ashamed of the empire, you can kill me!"
The two interior ministers, who did not have a clean place on their bodies, knelt on the floor in front of the emperor, and within a few seconds, a large pool of sewage accumulated on the ground.
"You two wastes! Why didn't I see that you were just two pigs before? Hmm? Was it because my orders to you weren't clear enough or did I not give you enough money? Two months ago, I told you that the rainy season is coming, you should be careful, I didn't say this? After the rainy season is a cold winter, if the flood control is not done well, the people will be greatly harmed, did I say these words!!"
The two people in front of him are people who have worked for the empire for more than ten years, it is said that there is no merit and hard work, in fact, they do have a lot of merit, but their embarrassment makes Emperor Andre angry when he looks at it, he thought that his self-cultivation over the years has allowed him to do the mountain collapse in front of him without changing his face, who would have wanted to let these two people in front of him break the merit?
"Wang, you know ours, even if we are usually selfish, how can we be sloppy in such imperial affairs......?"
Maginot, who is already in his sixties this year, knelt on the ground, his face covered with snot and tears.
"What is it? If you have something to say, even I have to hide it?"
The ministers of the empire are directly appointed by him, Maginot and Spencer, both of whom are personally selected by him, what is their ability, what is their character, and they can sit in the position of the lord of the empire, how can Andre the Great's vision be bad, as the kneeling people at the bottom said, they are completely innocent, that is a lie, but to say that they deliberately messed up such an important matter, Andrei the Great does not believe it, this is not a joke with the lives of his whole family?
"My king, I guarantee with my head, there will definitely be someone to blame for the rainstorm that broke the embankment this time! You can check the records of the engineering team in the area where the mouth of the embankment bursts, in recent months, I have only run a lot more, and the embankment has been strengthened again and again, under normal circumstances, even if the rainstorm is heavier, it can withstand it!"
Knowing that the estuary burst the embankment, Maginot initially did not believe it, his work was in place, in the past November was the rainy season every year, the rainfall may not be as large as this year, but the density of his project has also nearly doubled, one embankment burst, can be attributed to an accident, why the other eight estuary, five executions! Is the sediment made of monosodium glutamate, and it is not washed away?
"I can vouch for Mr. Maginot, we have been investigating the breach of the levee during this time, and there is indeed something strange in it, and the disaster relief on my side has only become what it is now. ”
Spencer's forehead rested on the slate, he didn't do his job well, and he was willing to be punished, but he was not reconciled if he didn't poke those bastards out!
"Say!"
André's hand under the table clenched the pen carved in gold wire, and he knew that there was a high probability that someone was causing trouble, and he could even vaguely guess who the other person was.
"At the beginning, I led people to repair the embankment, repaired a place, and within a few days, my subordinates came to report that it was not true, and it needed to be repaired again, and one place was completed, and there were errors and omissions in another place, at that time, I only cut corners when the engineering team cut corners, and also made a special supervision, and now I look back and check again, those construction teams have said, as soon as the embankment is repaired, the team of the Rimai sect will come to pray for blessings, pray once, within five days, the embankment will have problems, to say that those bastards are fine, the old minister will definitely not believe it!"
"There is also the imperial appropriation for disaster relief, a large amount of grain is transported to the affected areas, the journey that can be reached in three days, there are always problems along the way, by water, either there are thieves, or there are affected ships for help, by land, either the train track is missing or there is a problem with the train, in short, there is no smooth, to the disaster area, some local nobles are even more obstructed, I have found out in the past few days, the nobles who obstruct our work are all those bastards who are close to the Rimai Sect. ”
The meaning of the two ministers' words could not be clearer.
"I know what you mean, what should I do? The Sunley Sect has been the Church of Lorraine since the Dark Ages......"
Andrei the Great, who was only nine years old when he ascended the throne, recalled that in the past, there were many difficult places that were promoted by the Rimai Sect, and he also had half of the credit of the Rimai Sect on the throne, which made him choose to condone in many things.
"My king, the Rimai Sect twenty years ago may still fulfill the obligation of the state religion, but since the fifteenth pope came to power, what have they been doing?
"I ......"
Emperor Andrei, who was still angry, was speechless by this question.
"My king, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Lorraine Empire now, you should understand what that means, isn't the Principality of Rhône next to it obvious enough? Their revolutionary army, driven by 200,000 refugees, has taken up one-third of the territory of the Principality, who are they? A group of mud legs! Just those people can force the Principality of Rhône to this position, just imagine, if one day the Rimai Sect does the same thing, what will be the consequences? In the five major regions of the empire, the Rimai Sect does not know how many people it has bought, with all due respect, in a few years, when the Rimai Sect is familiar with the operation of the empire and has recruited enough nobles and imperial government officials, where will your majesty be placed in this huge empire?"
The conversation finally turned to the issues that had been endlessly debated within the Imperial Government over the years, and there was no doubt that neither Maginot nor Spencer, as old men who had served the Imperial family for decades, would never allow the Imperial authority to be subordinated to others.
"I believe that the Rimai Sect will not do this, haven't they shown signs of usurping the throne for so many years?
"My king, why don't you understand? Now the hundreds of thousands of refugees in the empire are the existence used to shake your status!!"
Thundered!!
Thunder exploded, and the emperor was silent again.
After a long time, the door of the castle chamber opened again, and the two old men walked through the corridor with each other's arms in their arms because of the long kneeling that made it difficult for their waists to straighten.
"This rainstorm is really timely......"
Maginot walked outside, under the rain that flew in, and the previous grief could not be found on his face.
"Well, without this rain, I don't know how long it will drag on, the Rimai Sect has developed like this, and the king still ignores it, always when they are still the same as before, do you really want to hand over the empire to those gods? I will never allow the foundation of the empire to be destroyed here!"
Spencer, who was older than Maginot, bent over the castle's fine stone walls, his eyes shining with a cold light.
The castle of the imperial royal family is very large, but with the help of spar technology, the two people who took the elevator quickly arrived outside the castle, the vehicles of each family were already waiting, and the homes of the two were in completely different directions, and finally exchanged a few words of greeting and left separately.
Tonight's torrential rain still did not stop, and the two luxury cars passed by their own doors, but did not enter, but followed the avenue, left and right, and reunited in front of a private club in the center of the capital.
More than a dozen people immediately came out of the door of the club, holding large umbrellas in their hands, and a passage was discharged in front of the car door.
Maginot and Spencer, who had already changed their clothes, got out of the car and went to the door of the clubhouse surrounded by the crowd, and through the glass on the door, you could see dozens of people standing inside, and if you looked closely, you would find that these people were key members of the imperial government departments in the Stoiano area.
"Mr. Maginot, Mr. Spencer, how's it going?"
As soon as they entered, the crowd gathered up, and they waited here for nearly three hours just to know the result.
"Let's get ready, let's get busy next!"
Magino still supported Spencer, squinted his eyes and said something, the crowd boiled, and then gave way, they knew very well that they were not the protagonist of the night, and someone showed them the way, and took them to a room on the third floor.
The wooden door opened, and there was a very small box, with only a row of brown sofas against the wall and a marble table, but the people in this room held nearly seventy percent of the departments and powers of the imperial government, and everyone was gray-haired, and the one who sat on the throne was even gray-haired.
"You two have worked hard, no one expected that such a good opportunity would suddenly appear in front of you, and you will be running back and forth during this time...... The Empire will not forget your exploits. ”
The old man held a wooden staff in his left hand to support his body, and spoke to the two first-class ministers in the tone of a superior person.
"You're serious, for the sake of the Empire, this is what we should do. ”
Pilsen, the prime minister who accompanied the Lorraine Empire for three decades, can be said to have served directly under him, including Maginot and Spencer.
"Did the king nod?"
"As you can imagine, the king has finally decided to do something to them, it's time to get rid of this great cancer attached to the empire!"
"Okay, from this moment on, the Rimai Sect is our common enemy, Lords, after tonight, the war will begin! For the sake of the Empire!!"
"For the Empire!!"
Raise a glass and drink together, the storm of the Lorraine Empire that has not been seen for decades begins here.
