Which country to join? Abner glanced at Klein, who was snickering, and said angrily, "Do you think that I have gone to great lengths to get a big city and surrounding towns from each of the three kingdoms, just to join which country in the future?"

"Do you still want to start a family similar to the 'Lower Body Fort'?" Crane asked with a smile.

- The old Habsburgs of the First Age were called the "Lower Castles" because their lands were basically acquired through marriage, and even before World War I, they retained a long list of titles of king, grand duke, and emperor.

"The end is coming, how can I have that leisure?" Abner glanced at him again, shook his head, and said, "Tilis, Indo, and Berdan are all big cities on the coast of the Sea, and I became their lord because I wanted to form a 'Kingdom of the Rim Sea' and completely lay the foundation of the Church of the God of Truth.

"However, the direct formation of the kingdom may be resisted by the people in the regions other than Beldan, so I would like to use the buffer time of being a lord to designate the three places as free ports for tax reduction, engage in free trade, and focus on economic development, and when people realize that they are better off under the rule of the 'God of Truth', they will be happy to become citizens of the 'Kingdom of the Rim Sea'."

After hearing this, Crane nodded in agreement with his plan, and then asked strangely, "It is true that the cities of Deliss and Indor are both large cities on the coast of the Sea, but Beldan, I remember, is it just a small city?" And it seems to be inland..."

"Heh, it looks like it's been a long time since you bought a new Rune map." Abner chuckled and continued, "Do you know why I was canonized as the 'Duke of Saimakaijun'? That's because after the war, half of Makai County was included in the Berdam area!

"Today, Beldan not only has a port, but also surpasses Constance in terms of population and area, making it a veritable metropolis on the coast of the sea.

"That's one of the reasons I didn't ask Rune for Conston again.

"After all, unlike Berdan, which has been devastated by the war and has lost a lot of people, although the industrial capacity is still there, will I care about the industrial capacity of Morningstar City?

"By the way, I forgot to mention that 'Morning Star City' will land in the center of 'Makai' in the future, as the capital of the kingdom, and build a sea-crossing bridge between the three cities of Beldan, Indo, and Tilis, and connect them together."

"Floating City as the capital..... It's a 'romantic' country." Klein couldn't help but be a little fascinated just thinking about it, but he quickly came back to his senses, no longer dwelling on the topic, and instead asked something else, "The last part of the picture just now says 'Rune is withdrawing troops from the Southern Continent'..... Is that your Duchy of Heidler starting to do it too?"

Abner knew what Mr. Fool really wanted to ask and what he was really worried about, so he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, although the Duchy of Heideler and the Byran Empire launched a unified war in the Southern Continent, the main target is actually the 'Rose School', and for the colonies of the Northern Continent, our purpose is similar to what your rebels did in Byam, and we will not be too radical, so as not to exacerbate the conflict and break out into a large-scale conflict again.

"Specifically, it is possible to recognize the current property owned by the people of the Northern Continent, and several large colonial cities can still maintain their current political structure, but all the garrisons of various countries must be withdrawn.

"As for the churches of the Orthodox Churches, they are likewise retained, but they are not allowed to expand any further.

"And the countries of Rune, Intis, Fursack, Fenerport and others have no desire to fight another war now, and the gods will not support it, so they can only back down.

"Although in the early days, a large number of people from the northern continent will definitely choose to return to China, and the business between the northern and southern continents will also be greatly affected.

"But that's okay, I'll tell them the facts that when an area is really developed, it can bring them much more benefits than colonization."

After listening to Abner's explanation, Klein was silent for a long time before he sighed: "You are very thoughtful, and you have done a lot of practical things that are really beneficial to this era, compared to what I can do.....

"Would you like to join in, then?" I happen to have a lot of things to do here

You." Abner smiled. "What's the matter?" Klein was stunned for a moment, and although he intuitively felt that Abner had "bad intentions", he still subconsciously asked.

"Many parts of my territory in Makai County have been destroyed by war, and construction is going on everywhere, so if you have time, go and walk around, create a few more miracles, and help me..... No, it's to help local residents speed up the construction progress.

"You're going to play the 'miracle master' anyway, it's a no-brainer, isn't it?" .....

Beckland, St. George's District, St. Hillland's Church.

After coming out of Abner's kingdom, Crane came directly here, intending to take away the small mirror Arodes, who was "sealed" under the church.

- Arodus pleaded with him for a long time, and finally moved him..... And after refusing to become a "mistake", he needs a small mirror to restrain the "Heavenly Venerable".

Klein had thought that it would take a lot of effort to borrow the mirror, and even wrote an "IOU" to the "Steam Church", but as soon as he arrived at the door of St. Shelland's Church, he saw Archbishop Horamic Haydn, dressed in a white priest's robe and a clergyman's cap, walking out, with the silver mirror numbered "2-111" in his hand.

Archbishop Horamic glanced at Klein a few times, and then handed Arodes directly to him.

"I don't know who you are, but since the oracle told me to give you the mirror, take it."

Is this Lao Liu communicating with the "God of Steam" in advance? Is it the reward I promised him to speed up the construction progress? Klein didn't explain, only politely took off his top hat and bowed slightly:

"Thank you very much."

As he spoke, Crane's figure suddenly faded and disappeared in place. He came only with an image in the pores of history.

In the private room of a steam train more than ten kilometers away from St. George's district, Crane, who was arranging Sharon's hair, had an extra mirror in his hand.

It's silver-toned throughout, with an ancient and mysterious pattern on the back, and an eye-like embellishment on each side of the front. Feeling his gaze, the water on the surface of the mirror fluctuated, and one pale silver word after another was precipitated: "Great master, where are we going next?"

Crane didn't pay attention to it immediately, and continued to comb the doll-sized Sharon before patting the "magic mirror" and said with a smile:

"Next, let's go wandering together." Where do you want to go?"

"Trier, no, I'll go wherever you want." Arodus replied humbly in words.

Klein smiled, then looked sideways at the "doll" Sharon who had climbed onto his shoulder, and asked with the corners of his mouth curled, "What about you, Sharon?"

Sharon tilted her head and pointed to a point on the map spread out on the table.

Seeing where she was pointing, Crane's eyes softened a lot, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go first..... Tingen."

After saying that, Crane's trench coat turned into a black robe, and the top hat changed shape with a classical temperament. It makes him like a wandering magician walking through the streets.

......

In the Kingdom of God "Anomaly", after sending "Asmo" to the astral plane to help Klein communicate with the "God of Steam" briefly, Abner stepped out of the Kingdom of God and descended on the "Observer Castle" where the Duke of Rhine once was.

With all the chores dealt with, he finally had time to see the contamination on Ornia's body.

Sensing the powerful aura of the ancient gods, the "castle spirit" of the Observer Castle, Dream Tapir Chanyou, cautiously approached, and then fell to the ground with an extremely respectful posture, in stark contrast to the laziness of Abner when he came over before.

Abner casually used his "knowledge" to condense a "nightmare" bubble and fed it to it, and then walked up to the second floor and entered the room where Ornia's main body was.
