Chapter 54: An Aging Knight with an Empire at Heart
When Barot learned that someone had approached the town hall and offered to repair the differential machine, he was stupid at the time.
That's right, someone dares to take the initiative to repair the differential machine? Is this too big for their own lives? Or is it really stupid?
However, how did this guy who took the initiative to repair the differential machine know that the differential machine in the city hall was damaged?
Seeing Barot stunned in place, his face was blue and white, as if his stomach was full of doubts, Charlemagne said directly: "You told the other party about this matter, do you remember the foreman you looked for in the factory, Medessa Lauer?"
Hearing this, Barot suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed, "No, that foreman Raul took the initiative to come to the door to repair it, ......right?"
Without waiting for Barot to finish speaking, Charlemagne shook his head directly and said, "No, it's not Raul, it's his apprentice." ”
"What? is that Raul's schoolboy?" exclaimed Barot almost instantly.
Charlemagne frowned slightly when he saw this: "Director Barot, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't be so surprised. ”
In the face of Charlemagne's accusation, Barot hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry Mr. Charlemagne, I was impulsive." ”
Charlemagne nodded and said, "Alright, if you don't have anything to do, come with me, the consul wants to see you." ”
Barot quickly restrained the surprise in his heart, and after explaining a few words to the adjutant beside him, he quickly followed Charlemagne away.
Not long after Barot left, his lieutenant quickly passed on the information he had just received to Viscount Lane who was in the manor.
When Viscount Lane heard Horn report the matter, he frowned and whispered: "What the hell is that kid from the Dragon Kingdom doing? He actually ran to the city hall, and he went straight to repair the difference machine? What is he doing here? Do you think there are too few people who know his identity? Or do you want to find a few more backers so that you can check and balance me?"
Horn lowered his eyebrows and said while adding water to Viscount Lane's cup, "Perhaps, who is secretly instigating?"
The viscount suddenly raised his head to look at Horn, and then snorted coldly: "Horn, I know that there are some personal conflicts between you and Raul, but I don't want you to provoke for personal reasons at this time. ”
Horn hurriedly responded in fear: "Yes, yes Viscount, it was the old servant's fault just now, and the old servant will definitely pay attention next time." ”
Viscount Lane nodded in satisfaction, drank the tea from the cup, then stood up and said, "Go and prepare the car, I'm going to go to the town hall myself." ”
Maybe even Murray himself didn't know, because he took the initiative to find the city hall to repair the difference machine, which instantly disrupted the balance and tranquility of the original Viscount of Lane.
Almost all the representatives of theocracy, imperial power, and private power received the message and moved at the same time.
On the top floor of the City Hall building, in the Archon's office, Murray and Tyrrell sat on the floor, fiddling with a modified mechanical doll.
Watching the mechanical doll make a lot of difficult movements, and even be able to dance a complete dance to the beat, Tyrell couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that your dragon kingdom's mechanical technology is so powerful, it really turns decay into magic." ”
Then, the conversation changed: "Young man of the Dragon Kingdom, the purpose of your coming to the Sun Empire is the dragon that your traitor stole it?"
Murray looked up and responded to the archon with a smile: "Hahaha, this doesn't seem to be a secret anymore. ”
Tyrell suddenly said as if talking to himself, "Actually, I'm very grateful for the arrival of your dragon kingdom mechanical civilization. ”
Hearing this, he looked up in some surprise, and the elderly archon continued, "At least your arrival has changed the situation in which magic reigns supreme. ”
"If it weren't for the heavy damage suffered in the Dragon Kingdom, I'm afraid that the Sun Empire would have been destroyed by our own hands. ”
"Once upon a time, the Sun Empire was a place that followed the glory of knighthood, but the invasion of magical civilization has brought a huge impact. ”
"The power of magic is so great that even the gods tremble, and the glory of a knight is nothing to mention in the face of that power. ”
Speaking of this, Tyrell suddenly raised his head and stared at Murray and asked, "Are you curious why such a fierce knight as me would be willing to be this thankless archon in such a city?"
Without Murray opening his mouth to answer, the old archon had already continued: "That's because, in today's Sun Empire, knights have lost their former noble status. ”
"I thank you for the blow that your dragon kingdom machinery has brought to the magic civilization, but at the same time I also hate you, because your machinery has given the magic civilization another chance to develop, so that the magic civilization has been further developed, and the original mysterious magic, through your dragon kingdom machinery, has become simple and close to the people, and it has intensified the worship of magic in the entire Sun Empire. ”
The smile on Murray's face faded away, replaced by a serious face, staring at Tyrrell, staring at him.
The aged consul continued: "Any kind of power actually needs to be checked by another, otherwise it will be a disaster if it continues to develop without limit." ”
"Once upon a time, when magic lost its restraint in the Solar Empire, it developed unprecedentedly in the Solar Empire, so that the empire swept the entire West in an instant, and even made everyone think that we would one day rule the whole world. ”
"However, in the far east, the mysterious dragon kingdom has destroyed the confidence of magic with machinery, and has put the shackles of magic back on it. ”
"Now that the fusion of machine and magic has brought about the loss of the shackles of restraint between the two terrible forces, the empire will be headed for a frenzied path of destruction. ”
Tyrell stared at the young man's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't it strange that I know that you are from the Dragon Country, and let you continue to repair the difference machine?"
Murray didn't speak, because he knew very well that he didn't need to open his mouth at all, just be a good listener.
Sure enough, Tyrrell then smiled and said, "Now, the ambitions of the Empire are once again at an all-time high, and once again they are looking to the East, and they are trying to sweep away all opposition in the country, and to restore the absolute rule of the imperial power, but it is a pity that when all eyes are on the East, they ignore the enemies around us. ”
"Enemies around?" Murray looked up, looking at the archon with some surprise.
The latter nodded and said, "Yes, the Sun Empire has dominated the entire Western Continent for too long, and everyone has ignored that we have not yet truly unified the Western Continent. ”
Murray's eyes were full of curiosity, and he wanted to know who the enemy of the empire was in the mouth of the elderly archon in front of him.
Tyrell retracted his gaze, looked at the mechanical doll that was still dancing, and said: "Actually, the difference machine in the town hall received a message from the south before it was damaged, although no one has seen the content of the information, but it is estimated that it should have something to do with the sea tribes of the southern islands, and the prosperity of machinery and magic will also make our enemies gradually stronger." ”
Hearing this, Murray instantly understood that the enemies around the elderly archon were those alien races on the Western Continent.
