142. Heir Dispute 5 - A Glaring Contract
Philip slammed the teacup to the ground, the expensive porcelain was torn apart, and the red liquid in the cup flew into the air, like a shapeshifter constantly changing shape.
"Are you worthy of my brother for this? I'd rather not have your help than agree to this!"
Philip turned away from the gazebo and walked out of the garden, he was not a sage, nor was he Megumi Yanagishita, and he would be happy to see a beautiful woman confessing to him, and his head would accept it on impulse.
But the premise of all this is that the woman who confessed is not his sister-in-law, not his brother's former fiancΓ©e, especially when Philip thinks that George is only missing and not dead, he is even less likely to accept Caroline's request, even if he loses his position as heir for it.
The view behind Caroline suddenly distorted, and a man covered in black robes appeared behind the Imperial Princess, even if there was no one around, he lowered his head, making it impossible to see the face in his hood, and his voice sounded very old: "This young man is very good." β
"yes. The smile on Caroline's face had been put away, and her expression was extremely complicated, "If he had directly agreed to marry just now, maybe I would consider marrying other men of the Rose family, the future empress does not need a husband who is too ambitious." However, I was very satisfied with his answer just now, and a man who values love and righteousness is the first choice of the queen's husband. β
Caroline looked up and cast her gaze into the sky, as if the person she dreamed of every night was staring at her in the sky.
"George, your brother is really as affectionate as you say. Although I will not fall in love with him as much as I love you, I will be relieved to have someone like him by my side. β
Caroline didn't get anything out of it, but Philip thought that the ancient machinery that was going to take his time had the latest progress, and two days after returning to Wellington, Gary and Moz actually came to the door, and the goblin master excitedly told Philip that he had contacted the goblins who were scattered elsewhere, in an abandoned mine near Wellington. Houses ancient machines abandoned by the Goblin Empire.
The Goblin Empire is gone. However, many of the relics have been preserved, especially in the mining areas located in the mountains.
Philip, who was standing at the front of the line, closed his eyes slightly, and the majestic magic power emanated from his body, and the Rose family guards who followed Philip involuntarily took a step back. The magic coercion of the level of the Great Mage was not something they could resist.
Suddenly. Philip's eyes snapped open. A fiery flame burst from his body, and Philip took a step forward and waved his hand. Flames poured from his body to the dense bushes in front of him, and the emerald green plants were instantly carbonized, and then began to burn again.
The wildfire began to burn from Philip's point, and quickly dispersed, sweeping through the surrounding plants, and the various shrubs that were more than a man tall were burned in the fire, and the sound of the burning branches of the "Thunderbolt Bala" reached Philip's ears.
The wave of fire was blocked in front of a severed barrier, and there was not a single plant in the long barrier, so naturally it could not burn outside the circle.
The higher the temperature, the bigger the fire, the faster it burns, and the shorter the time it takes to finish.
Soon, there were no plants left around the area where Philip was standing, leaving only a black and gray wreckage, and the shrub that was more than a man tall had disappeared.
The white ice spread from under Philip's feet, and the people standing behind him couldn't help but shiver, fortunately, this Great Freezing Technique was not aimed at them, Philip deliberately expanded the scope of the Great Freezing Technique, and similarly, the power was reduced, not enough to freeze people, but this low temperature quickly extinguished the fire.
One of the guards swung his sword to clear the thick vine stumps on the mountain, and after making himself dusty, a hole appeared in front of everyone, Moz ran a few steps, glanced into the cave, turned his head and beckoned to Philip: "This is it." β
Unlike ordinary mines, which are supported by wooden beams, the caves here are dug out of stone in their entirety, so it's no wonder that they haven't collapsed after all these years. With Moz leading the way, Philip and the others soon followed the winding cavern to a spacious underground hall.
Holding the magic lamp, followed by the light of the magic crystal, Philip saw clearly the few large men lying quietly in front of him, and his heart was immediately excited.
The two-story transporter, the large drill pipe with sharp cones, something that Philip had seen on earth, and which he was even tired of seeing, seemed incomparably gracious at this moment.
Stretching out his hand to wipe the dust off the car and feeling the coldness of the metal, Philip's hand even trembled a little, as if he had traveled back to Earth again.
However, Philip's reverie was interrupted by the dwarves and goblins, and Gary and Moz climbed up the stairs into the cab, where they ping-pong for a while before popping up again.
Gary touched his beard with emotion: "The manufacturing process of ancient goblins is really magical, and the things that are cast have not rusted for thousands of years. β
Moz also nodded and said: "The power plant of the Goblin Empire seems to be manual, and it is not right, it should be animal-powered, and the power should be in the box under the driver's cab, where there is a complete set of transmissions." β
"Is it feasible to use a magic machine instead?" this is Philip's main concern, as long as Moz and Gary have determined the integrity of the machinery, the part that sends power is naturally Philip's business.
"We can try, it should work, but we still need to debug ......"
Without saying a word, Philip immediately climbed up the stairs to the delivery vehicle and went down directly with Moz through the passage of the driver's cab to the drive compartment.
As if remembering something, Philip climbed out again and said to Franklin, who was looking curiously around the hall, "I've been staying here for the past few days to transform the ancient machinery with them, what's the matter, you came here to find me." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Philip disappeared into the driver's cab door, leaving Franklin to shake his head helplessly.

"Mr. Keno, please wait! Mr. Keno!"
"Bah!" the intricately carved door was pushed open from the outside, and Keno's tall, lanky hemp body walked in from the outside, looking at Henry Cooper with annoyance.
"When is it, I heard that Philip is ready to join forces with the High Elves and support him through strong foreign aid, that is the High Elves, the races in the empire that can take the state as an autonomous unit, with their support, Philip's confidence in speaking will be different. If I didn't have outside help, the elders would support Philip. β
Henry raised his chubby head and glanced at the angry Keno, took out the pocket watch on his chest, and after a glance, asked the servant standing behind Keno, "Are they here?"
"Here we are, sir. β
Henry stood up and calmly said to Keno, "Come with me, I have something good for you." β
Walked into a conference room with Keno, and some people in fancy clothes were already sitting on both sides of the conference table waiting, and as soon as they saw Keno walk in, they all got up and bent over, and greeted Henry with a flattering smile on their faces, on the other hand, Henry nodded lightly and responded without being salty.
Arriving at the throne, Henry waved his hand and instructed Keno to be by his side, and waved for the individuals attending the meeting to sit down separately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do I want you to bring everything you have brought?" Cooper's voice carried an irresistible majesty, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on the foreheads of the nobles in the fancy clothes present, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Henry.
A sneer appeared on Henry's face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he snorted coldly, "Thomas, you come first, did you bring the transfer deed?"
A middle-aged man dressed in silk stood up tremblingly, and said to Cooper with a sad face: "My lord, this is the spice caravan from Dalma to Galatia, and we rely on it for one-third of the income of our small chamber of commerce." β
Cooper smiled and nodded, "Well, since this caravan is so important to you, we don't want this caravan either." β
The expression on Thomas's face was visibly relaxed, but the next words made him pale and unable to stand still.
"From today onwards, the cooperation between the Cooper Chamber of Commerce and your Rock Flower Chamber of Commerce will be completely suspended, and the Cooper Chamber of Commerce will no longer supply you with porcelain, spices, magic crystals, grain, and cloth, and all the things of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce will not be sold to the Rock Flower Chamber of Commerce, please find another partner." β
Thomas shook violently as a whole, and finally fell to his knees with weak feet, begging: "My lord, I was wrong, I will give it immediately, the contract is in my pocket, please, give us a way to live, who doesn't know that in Wellington, as long as you don't sell things to us, other chambers of commerce will not sell anything to us, without trade products, how can you let us rock flower chambers of commerce!"
Henry Cooper's coercion is not pretended, the ruler of a business tycoon can destroy a small chamber of commerce with a single word.
In Bugas, large chambers of commerce have long formed an alliance of interests to coordinate their business activities, and the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, as the largest chamber of commerce in Bugas, has the greatest power in this alliance of interests, and often the objects of its boycott will also be boycotted by other large chambers of commerce. Thomas's inability to buy things at the Cooper Chamber of Commerce meant that he couldn't buy goods from other large chambers of commerce in Bugas, and as for the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, they were even more afraid to sell to the Rock Flower Chamber of Commerce because they were afraid of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce and its allies.
Henry Cooper ignored Thomas's pleading, waved his hand, and instructed the waiters in the conference room to carry Thomas out.
The effect of this was obvious, and the heads of the various chambers of commerce who were originally responsible for it hurriedly took out the sheepskin scroll from their personal pockets, and the words "transfer contract" were more dazzling than blood. (To be continued......)
