Chapter 114: Development Planning and Messengers
In response to Ornia's "complaints", Abner responded with a smile: "In fact, if it weren't for the rich mineral deposits in the Southern Continent, 'Morning Star City wouldn't be able to look down on our labor advantage.....
After all, the industrial management level of "Morning Star City" is actually slightly higher than that of the major countries in the Northern Continent, and several "alchemists" can control a large number of "mechanical dolls" to achieve "automation" of production, even if the labor force is not much, there is also Ms. Eleanor's "biological" technology supplement....
What's more, with the current situation, the labor force in the North Continent is also very cheap, and Heidler's advantage is not great. Therefore, the production of "Morningstar City" has always been "raw materials".
Ken of Morning Star City cooperated with Heidler, firstly because he was ordered by Abner, and secondly, because he took a fancy to the minerals here.
"Moreover, the inhabitants of the southern continent were very poorly educated, and only a small number of them could be called qualified workers, thanks to the colonial education systems of Rune, Intis, Fursac, Fenerport, etc.....
"The rest of the people, though numerous, can only do some purely manual work..... But physical work, why don't we let the undead do it? The living corpses and blood servants don't need to be paid, they can still work, and they can work non-stop without eating or drinking, which is much better than the thin people of the Southern Continent."
Speaking of this, Abner directly pulled out the penultimate page of the document, pointed to the content on it, and said, "Our territory is not big now, and the population is not too large, so it is better to take advantage of the war to make a fortune now, and then invest all the harvested funds in education, people's livelihood and other fields, to improve the "quality" of the residents of the territory, improve the "quality" of people's lives, and make a benchmark to display."
"When people have learned knowledge and broadened their horizons, with a little guidance, they will be able to spontaneously use the policies of the principality to make money..... After all, with my connections and power in the Northern Continent, a little tilt to this side would be enough for Heideler to eat for a few years.
"What's more, the area we occupy not only has minerals, but also the origin of many luxury goods in the northern continent, such as coffee, cigars and other goods, as long as they are no longer deceived by the means of merchants to lower prices, the income will naturally be high."
Ornia sighed and said, "It is worthy of being a 'wise angel', and everywhere he wants to spread knowledge first..... However, where does the teacher come from? Do you teach it yourself?"
"Naturally, it's 'Morning Star City', and every 'person' there is very knowledgeable, and they are eager to come to the mainland to communicate." Abner added with a smile, "It's a 'win-win'!"
"I probably understand your idea..... As the former queen of the blood clan and the queen of the Trensost Empire, Ornia has a lot of experience in governance, so it was easy to figure out Abner's idea and agreed.
However, she nodded and then changed her mind and asked, "But this path doesn't match the symbol of the true God you want to be, does it?" Is that really good?"
"What I want to achieve is not a serious 'red priest', who says that 'business wars', trade wars, cultural wars, game competitions, etc. cannot be considered 'wars'?
"Since I want to achieve the 'unknown' old days in the future, then everything is still unknown." Abner explained briefly.
Ornia didn't know much about the "unknown", so she didn't seem to understand, but she didn't ask any more questions, and instead said:
"By the way, during the previous siege of the Karaston area, the royal faction of the 'Spirit Order' also sent demigods to help secretly...
"You should understand that because we joined forces with the overseas legions of the Northern Continent countries to attack the local forces, in fact, our reputation is not very good in the eyes of radicals, and the Spirit Order naturally has to consider the influence, so it does not appear on major battlefields such as Karaston City.
"However, they have expressed goodwill and want to establish formal diplomatic relations with our principality, so they need an emissary to visit the current capital of the Byron Empire.....
"Well, Princess Bruna, who helped this time, conveyed an invitation from the 'Pale Queen', and she wants you to go to Quet Zakot to meet each other in person."
"Quit Zacott" is spoken in Dutan
It means "Quetzalcoatl City".
"The Pale Empress".... Isn't that the trumpet of the goddess? This is because the "Church of Tranquility" is currently on the front line, and if I often pass through there to enter the Kingdom of God to purify the "Hidden Sage", I may be discovered by some being, so the Goddess intends to give me a "reasonable" reason to enter the "Deep Heaven" from her trumpet?
Abner instantly "understood" the goddess's intentions, so he nodded happily and said, "Just leave this question to me."
......
Beckland, in an apartment in the Bridge District.
Marich is fighting Texas with his "living corpses" - this is a hobby he developed in the "living corpse" stage, and he hasn't changed it when he reaches "Resentful Souls".... Suddenly, Gelman Sparrow appeared in the room.
Marić subconsciously looked at the other party's hand, and saw that he was only carrying a bag and did not carry the copper whistle, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's no movement from Sharon's side yet....". Marić knew what the other party cared about the most, and said directly.
Gelman nodded, and after saying lightly, "The operation was successful", he threw the bag in his hand to the other party, and then disappeared.
Marić, who understood what Klein meant, took the bag, "restrained" the faint expectation in his heart, and unfolded it little by little.
Then he saw the face that he would never forget, and the cruel smile on Dax "Puppet" was gone compared to the slaughter of the families and supporters of the members of the "Temperance" faction, chasing him and Sharon, replaced by disbelief, hideous pain, fear and despair....
As a "resentful spirit" who can directly integrate into the "spirit world", Marić's spiritual intuition tells him beyond a doubt that this is the head of Dax, the great enemy who killed many of his friends!
- Although Abner used Dax to herd his "magic mirror", he only asked for his "soul" and characteristics, and as for his body, part of it was taken to various countries to receive a bounty, and part of it was given to Marich by Crane.
"Okay, good....." Marić was thrilled, but he didn't let the emotion show in the slightest, he closed his eyes and recalled the sounds and smiles of his friends, especially the last smile that Venna's father left when he went to deal with the indulgent faction raiders alone in order to buy time for himself and Sharon to escape....
"Grace, Darnell, Clara, Patricia, Taddis..... Your vengeance has been avenged!" At this moment, Marić's "Resentful Soul" potion was completely digested.
"Resentful Spirit", who hates the living, either chooses to let go of hatred and gradually let go of his feelings when playing, or he wants to take revenge..... Sharon chose the former, while Marich was the latter.
"It turns out that the potions I thought I had digested weren't really fully digested...... I was deceived by false feelings..... This is the malice of the way itself towards me!
"In addition, although I restrained my desires and did not personally go to the Southern Continent to participate in revenge, that doesn't mean that I let go of my hatred..."
