Chapter 575: Shelter
Ceosais, the Rose Knight, inquired about the burial place of his brother Roswell, and after obtaining Mino's address, left Fog City with Sarah that night for Coennath. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Donner didn't know if Ceoses was friend or foe at this time, but he didn't care. With Donner's current strength, Ceosis doesn't pose much of a threat to him, and Ceosis has a proud personality, even if he is hostile, he will only rush at him, and will not trouble Lucia and others.
In fact, the reason why Donner is so relieved about Lisa is the same reason. In terms of pride, Lisa is not inferior to Ceoseius in the slightest, and it is precisely because of this pride that when she was in the Magic Continent, she never thought of going to Wesley and them for trouble, and only pointed the finger at Donner alone.
After Ceosis left, the villa in the stone finally returned to its former tranquility, and only Donner and the three girls were left at the dinner table.
The late New Year's dinner was just as warm and sweet, and that night, Lucia stayed at the Stone Villa, spent the night with Donner, and returned to Coenas the next day. There, the Constitutional Council, headed by Wesley and Merkel, would mobilize the bureaucracy throughout the empire to gradually introduce representative government in the thirty-nine provinces. This matter requires the personal participation of Empress Lucia to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Pushing such a huge feudal empire into the orbit of capitalist democratic reform will undoubtedly face innumerable difficulties, and the resistance from the existing vested interests will be unimaginably great.
In addition to the authority of the Empress and the iron fist of Wesley, this unique industrial reform dragged by the magic engine will also become a boost to the system reform.
In fact, the impending leap in productivity was bound to bring devastating damage to the existing feudal system, and the reforms promoted by Donner only reduced this possible catastrophic destruction to an acceptable degree.
In his opinion, the magical power that was almost comparable to a perpetual motion machine was like a giant beast ready to go, while the Fermon Empire, and even the entire Huls Continent, were like a trailer led by it. Even Donner himself wasn't sure how much power the beast would burst out, and all he could do was push the trailer before it was about to run wild, so as not to be completely dragged down by the beast.
Although the United Kingdom of Hulse is still a name on paper for the time being, Cynthia's commitment has taken effect.
Five days later, Gernada, the son of the Dwarven King, led a thousand elite Dwarven warriors and borrowed Layla and Una from Donner.
Two girls who are proficient in magic circles will personally remove the magic circle traps in the five northern cities, including Falling Rock City.
In the next few years, three million dwarves and dwarf immigrants will move to these five northfall cities, set up factories, and form a cliff fortress in the north of the Hulls continent to resist the impact of the Knight Continent.
At the same time, one of the three northern provinces, south of the province of Ovieh, the construction of the Aili Industrial Zone by 80,000 laborers around the Aili iron ore mine was finally completed after four years.
Downstream of the three huge reservoirs in the shape of a zigzag, the cement concrete factory building is ready for use at any time. Outside the factory, a wide cement road leads to the mine. From the reservoir wharf, you can go all the way south by water, to the southernmost province of Tris in the empire.
The news of the completion of the Ailey Industrial Zone was sent by "Knight Jimmy", a small messenger who was not used under the former Fog City Governor Grande, who is now the backbone of the SAR Reform Committee, and after sending the letter to Donner this time, he will go to Coennas, meet with the SAR Governor Merkel, and devote himself to the reform of the entire empire.
And Danny, who was once recommended by him to study magic at the Santan Academy of Magic, is already the most outstanding graduate of the Fog City Academy, and is on another front, laying the foundation for the industrial revolution that will engulf the entire empire.
Jimmy and Danny, two poor peasant children who came out of the Misty Village, like thousands of students from the three provinces of the Special Administrative Region, completely changed the trajectory of their fate because of Donner's arrival. In the not-too-distant future, these young people who have embraced the germ of free ideas will spread like dandelion seeds across the continent to create and witness a revolution that will ultimately change the world.
And just as it was about to begin, Donner was left alone in the desperate lab on the side of the Fog City School of Engineering. Since the beginning of February, he has not set foot in the desperate laboratory, and all the food, water, and daily necessities have been brought to him by sisters Elemanda and Elimia.
One day in mid-February, Elemanda took Lisa into the lab with Donner's permission, and then consciously withdrew.
As soon as Lisa entered the Desperate Laboratory, a hint of alarm immediately appeared on her face. In fact, no mage likes a forbidden environment, and the stronger the power, the stronger this feeling becomes.
"I thought your heart was strong enough. Donner peeked out from behind the clutter-strewn workbench and looked at Lisa with a grin.
Lisa smiled disdainfully, and without defensiveness, looked around the lab, seemingly curious about the various objects wrapped in film or wrapped in gold threads.
"What is this?" she asked, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Magic Array. Donner laughed.
"Are you stupid to me? Lisa gave him a blank look.
"You're not stupid, you're short-sighted. Donner restrained his smile and said slowly, "You have been blinded by magic, so you have never seen real magic, electricity and magnetism in this world...... And what you see now is the magic array of electricity and magnetism. ”
As he spoke, Donner pushed away the clockwork battery output wrench on another workbench beside him, and suddenly, between the two electrodes that were far away from each other, there were electric sparks accompanied by bursting sounds.
Lisa's expression was shocked, she could clearly feel that there was no magic element here, and there was not a trace of magic fluctuations nearby on the flash that appeared out of thin air.
“...... Are you hiding here, studying this kind of magic?" exclaimed Lisa.
Donner smiled and said, "For now, I'm here to escape a possible catastrophe. ”
"Calamity?" Lisa wondered.
"Yes, calamity. Donner nodded and sat down on the chair next to the workbench with a grimace, "Didn't you say that at the end of February, the Four Holy Courtyards will besiege the Holy See of Light. ”
"What does this have to do with you?" Lisa felt that her train of thought was a little out of step with Donner, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was also related to the forbidden demon environment.
"Didn't you ask what my relationship with the God of Light is? Now I can tell you......" Donner paused for a moment before saying, "I'm just a pawn of his......"
Lisa didn't say a word, waiting for Donner's further explanation.
"You may not believe it when you say it, but I have been reincarnated once, and many things have been forgotten. However, the general facts are clear...... The God of Light came to this world to stop the process of the growing strength of the Demon Beast, which is also the mission he has given me...... But now I have other goals, or rather, I don't want to be his pawn. ”
Donner glanced at Lisa to make sure she didn't show a sarcastic expression before continuing: "The true strength of the Holy See of Light is unimaginable to you and me, however, in another sense, it is extremely fragile. ”
When Donner said that the Holy See of Light was powerful, he naturally meant the weapons that might be on board the Jingwei, and when he said that it was extremely vulnerable, he meant that once the Jingwei lost the barrier of the Golden Desperate Situation, it would be completely scrapped every minute due to exposure to the radiation of magical elements.
"So," Donner continued, "The Four Great Holy Courtyards besieging the Bright Holy Mountain will most likely pay a heavy price, but there is a high probability that it will destroy the foundation of the Bright Holy See...... In this way, the plan of the God of Light in this world will be declared a failure, and you guess, in this case, it will still let my pawn exist?"
"If I had just met you today, I would have thought you had something wrong with your brain. Lisa pondered for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, "If these are true, what's the use of you hiding here?"
“...... You're right," Downer nodded, "What day is it?"
"On the twenty-sixth of February, there are nine days to go. Lisa said.
"Well, I'll have the Dwarven Craftsman seal this lab off with the last of the Desperate Gold. Donner said.
Lisa rolled her eyes, she didn't expect that Donner would react like this after listening to her opinion.
