147. I!!4-Harvest
A huge roar came from the top of the mountain, white smoke and dust continued to rise from the entrance of the cave, and the small mountain bag seemed to be filled with a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see what was inside.
"The hills you see are all hard rock until the surface is a meter of dirt, just like those mines in our family, which are difficult to mine, require tools, labor, and not a few ores. β
In the magic shield that had already been erected, Philip explained to the elders with a smile that the magic shield that shrouded the whole this time was activated by Philip alone through the evolution of the magic shield, and the powerful strength made the elders marvel again.
The rumbling stopped, the smoke was quickly blown away after the magicians launched the wind spell, the drilling rig had already raised the drill pipe, lowered the shaft, and slowly marched down the mountain, without any delay, the crawler-type travel mechanism, so that the drilling rig was like walking on flat ground on the rugged mountain road, this magical mechanical operation structure made these well-informed elders have to make a sigh of emotion.
It's not that they haven't heard of the ancient machinery of the goblin empire, and the Ross family, a wealthy family, has stored a lot of estimates, including the introduction of ancient machinery, and the powerful goblin empire almost built the Tower of Babel, which communicates the divine realm and the mortal world, by relying on the ancient machinery.
When they really saw the ancient machinery with the naked eye, they really understood that these magical big guys were even more shocking than they imagined, two or three stories high, with an all-metal structure, directly crushing all the obstacles on the road, this kind of thing is definitely not something that the current Bright Continent can make.
A guard walked to the top of the hill with a small wooden box on his back and carefully lowered it with a rope. Until all the ropes in his hands were released, he immediately spread his feet and ran down the mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain was not very high, and the guards quickly ran up to Philip and nodded his head at Gary, who was acting as coordinator, as if some terrible monster was chasing him from behind.
At this time, the drilling rig also went to the bottom of the hill, staying with the excavator and the ore truck, and the three steel beasts were lined up, full of majestic liliang feeling. Philip in order to add to the shock. I took the excavator apart and got it over. The three giant machines lined up like three gods, looking down on the elders.
"Attention all personnel!" Gary yelled at the top of his voice, waving the red flag in his hand desperately, "The mage immediately raised his shield. All personnel take refuge in the mage's shield. All personnel immediately took refuge in the mage's shield. The blast will begin in ten seconds, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
Philip raised his hand, and a bright flame shot out of his left hand towards the sky. The round fireball shot into the top of the hill in the form of a parabola, and under the control of Philip's spiritual power beyond the level of the great magician, it fell through the hole opened by the drill at the top of the mountain.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound came from the mountain, and the tremors were even stronger than in the cave before, making the elders unable to stand on their feet, and several people fell to the ground staggeringly.
The small hill in front of everyone, like a beating heart, violently agitated outward, and the originally upright mountain suddenly collapsed, like a building demolished by blasting, falling straight down, and then breaking and shattering.
A human-sized rock flew out of the original drill hole and slammed into where Philip was standing, but with a wave of Philip's hand, a burst of flame shot out, and the rock was blown into small boulders that rippled on the magic shield.
After the stone rain, the original mountain has completely collapsed, and the originally strong hill has become a pile of things like stones piled up, and it looks like a person who has been pulled out of the backbone, and there is no longer that feeling of being upright.
The elders all grew their mouths and looked at everything that was happening in disbelief, the inside of this mountain of rocks had been shattered, and the rocks that had been connected together had broken into pieces, and such a miraculous thing almost had to be explained by miracles.
"Everyone, please imagine, if our mines also use this method, drill rigs to dig holes, and then use magic crystals to blast loose mines, and then use excavators to dig and transport ore trucks, are we still afraid that those mines will not be able to be mined? Everyone, we will not just watch but have no way, using ancient machinery, we will be able to turn those mines into mountains of gold and silver! The wealth we have will be able to compare with the top consortium in the Bugas Empire!"
The elders had recovered from the shock, and their eyes had become eager to see Philip.
"Ancient machinery, I didn't expect to be able to see ancient machinery in my lifetime, with them, our gold mines, iron ore, and magic crystal mines can be mined!"
"What caravans and the like are not developed by our Ross family themselves, if the people of those caravans leave, they will be worthless at all, but the mine is ours, we can do whatever we want, we don't have to worry about the caravan running away, and now with Philip's ancient machinery, the day has come for our Ross family to take off again." β
"That's it, besides, Philip has the support of the royal family, and the High Elves, and the Church of Hope, and I can't think of anyone who has more support behind him. β
"Not only that, don't forget, there is also his magic machine that can generate magical energy, I said a long time ago, he must be an epoch-making magician, I dare to pack the ticket, although the ancient machinery is very magical, but now appearing in front of us must be related to his magical magic jishu, such a magician who is destined to become a legend will definitely lead our Rose family to glory!"
......
"Everyone!
Lena said loudly, the ruddy look on her face that made the gray-haired old woman look twenty years younger, "I think the decision has been made in your hearts about who is the heir of the family, can we vote?"
"Do you still need to ask, of course it's Philip, if anyone doesn't choose him, I think I'm blind!"
"Yes, Philip, Philip is the most haode!"
"With Philip, Philip will lead us to create new magic!
......
Loraine as a hardcore ally of Keno. Wiping his oily forehead, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Keno, but his hand was quietly raised, "I also support Philip." β
This elder is also elected by the family members, if today's events are spread, but he does not choose Philip, the angry family members will definitely tear him apart, the family's mine can be put into operation normally means a large amount of gold coins, and a large amount of gold coins means that the income of each family member will increase, and cutting off people's financial means that killing parents is like killing parents. Loren didn't dare to do such a thing.
Keno's face turned white. The body was shaky, all the elders looked at him, everyone except him supported Philip, Keno looked at Philip who was smiling at the elders. Said bitterly: "I also support Philip." "Finished. Keno's throat was sweet. A stream of crimson blood came out of the corners of his mouth, his eyes suddenly turned black, and he fell to the ground.
After speaking in Keno. No one was paying attention to him, Philip's hand was raised high by Reiner, and the female elder announced to the people of the Ross family, "Gentlemen, ladies!
The constant applause poured into Philip, and the elders were no longer as easily excited as the young lads, but their applause was more calm and powerful, and this support was a well-thought-out support, a support that would not be easily changed.
From today onwards, I, Philip Rose, am the future master of the Ross family!
ββββββ
With the final determination of the heir, the Ross family has also made a lot of adjustments. Given Philip's lack of experience in running the family business, Nicholas decided to stay in Wellington and take charge of the centre.
After more than a decade of guarding the frontier, Nicholas had reaffirmed his loyalty to the Burgas Empire, and even the Republican majority parliament had to agree to the return of the highly accomplished field marshal to Wellington.
Of course, an exchange of interests was indispensable, and Sidney Ross, who had previously served as Minister of War, became governor of Dalma, the third largest province of the empire, and the position of Minister of War was handed over to the Republicans. Neither the royal family nor the Republican Party allowed two strong military figures to appear in the imperial capital, and both of them were from the Ross family.
At the same time, Lena served as the first head of the military department, which was used to maximize the interests of the Ross family in the military department.
As for Philip, he became the heir to the Ross family, but Nicholas did not allow him to stay in Wellington, and after a long discussion among the family elders, it was agreed that it was better for Philip to stay in the place than to stay in Wellington.
Lobit has been directly governed by the empire, and its political status is comparable to that of a province, such an important stronghold, the Rose family does not allow outsiders to get involved, in particular, the electrical magic jishu that Philip is developing is all done by Lobit, if you return to the imperial capital, this kind of confidential jishu is not easy to keep secret, but the Ross family has great expectations for Philip's electric magic jishu and the ancient machinery driven by it, thinking that the progress of the family is all counting on these.
At the same time, Philip's contribution to the Demon Suppression Pass has also been posthumously recognized by the empire, the title or something is not too interesting, as the fiancΓ© of the princess of the empire, he is destined to become a prince, in the military, Philip has become a division commander from the regiment commander, which means that he can command an army of less than 10,000 people, Lobit can form an army of no more than 10,000, in the place of Lobit Shili is not a small promotion, especially Philip became a prince later, Lobit is his own land for him, and others don't want to be placed in it againγ
In addition, Philip also received another benefit, the Temple of the Gods said that it would issue Philip with a powerful set of magic weapons, which in the eyes of outsiders, Philip has been recognized by the gods of light, which is a supreme honor.
Philip also does not want to enter Wellington for the time being, although he can control the Rose family in the future, but after this dangerous battle for the heir of the family, Philip has realized how important it is to form his own Shili.
If there is a descendant in the Council of Elders this time, his father does not need to woo the elders everywhere, and he does not have to worry about not being able to pass the vote.
Philip wants to stay in Lobit, cultivate his own shili, and send this shili to all corners of the family and become the backbone of supporting Liliang in the future.
In order to allow Philip to develop in Lobit with peace of mind, Nicholas started the mining of the family mine, and the Ross family will buy excavators, ore trucks and drilling rigs at the price set by Philip. In addition, Philip can assign some personnel to participate in the management of the mine, and all the machine operators are all from Lobit.
Nicholas This is giving Philip a chance to expand his shili, the father and son smiled heartily at the newly established presbyterian meeting, the imperial marshal and his son are related by blood after all, and Nicholas doesn't need Philip to take the initiative, Nicholas knows what to do for Philip.
