The city of Iodor is a province of the 37th state of the Union and one of the provinces bordering the Federation and Tuhlman. More than a dozen high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere, and the streets are full of traffic and bustling.

Rosie arrived before Attila, along with Avery and Budd.

Three days had passed since Avery contacted the Truth Society, and during those three days, Rosie had taken a tour of Iodore City as if she were on a tour. Although I don't want to admit it, it can't be denied that it did develop more rapidly than Tuhrman, and he suddenly returned to Europe during the industrial revolution on the earth.

It's a thriving country!

It is precisely because of this gap that Avery has a smug smile like a hero on his face these days.

The Society of Truth was once no weaker than the Church of Light, and could even threaten the Church of Light by force. Although the advent of the end of the Dharma era has made the magicians ordinary people, they still have another powerful power. The Tuhlman Empire, which has lost the Truth Society, has fallen behind the times, and the once unpopular alliance of princely states has caught up, and it has thrown the Tuhlman Empire several streets behind in the field of science and technology.

The telephone was still the exclusive domain of the nobility in Turman, but here almost everyone used it. Not to mention the abundant power system, the coal-fired power plants in the suburbs feed electricity into thousands of households, and even the poor can afford to use light bulbs and some small electrical appliances.

This difference allowed Avery to find a sense of superiority, and he looked at Rossi as if he were looking at a dirt bun in the country, and a sense of superiority arose.

Rossi completely ignored Aveley's self-absorbed and self-paralyzing attitude. No matter how advanced it is? It won't be many years before this place will be destroyed by artillery fire.

Fabio is vigorously integrating the lordship forces in Tulman, and once the integration is completed, it must choose a country as a war exporter to wage an all-out war to alleviate the class contradictions that have been suppressed to the limit in the country. The dissatisfaction of the common class with the aristocracy, the dissatisfaction of the aristocracy with the centralization, and the contradictions between the aristocracy and the aristocracy all need a way to vent, and only foreign wars can greatly meet the needs of all classes in the country.

When it comes to science and technology, the Turman Empire is indeed inferior to the Federation, which no one can deny, Rossi can't, and Fabio can't.

But talk about war...... The friction on the border between the Federation and Tuhlman doesn't tell the story, once the Empire's war machine is in motion, no one can withstand the attack of a million-strong army. At that time, it will be a battle for the whole country, not a small fight.

Fabio desperately needs to prove his abilities through war and consolidate his rule. The aristocracy needed to expand its power against the centralizing central government, and the commoners needed a window for promotion, and with everyone united, the Federation could not withstand the advance of the Empire.

Let you be proud for a while, and see you in a few years.

Rossi focused on other things, such as merchandise. With the huge profits and trade surpluses from the large number of exported automobiles, automobile manufacturers have sprung up in the Federation, and cars have become ubiquitous on the streets, although the prices are still high, but they can be bought as long as you have the money. Rossi seemed to have heard that Fabio had started to introduce the production process of automobiles, and it was said that it was at the stage of signing an agreement.

The Commonwealth, the visionless, the profit-blinded, the money-blinded guys, have no idea what they're doing.

What a foolishness, stupidity!

Rosie also found a sense of superiority, and when he looked at Avery again, he had a smile on his face.

A newsboy happily ran past the two, shaking the freshly baked newspaper in his hand, and shouting loudly, "Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper!" The annual spring auction is coming to Iodo, and Miss Angela, the supernova of the Federation, will sing the ...... herself. ”

Rossi turned his head sideways and glanced at the newsboy out of the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Is Angela famous?"

Avery nodded, "Angela is a newly debuted supernova who is well-known in the Federation, and many people are crazy about her. What? Are you interested? Need me to introduce you?"

Aveley's expression was very indifferent, the truth society is such a huge monster-like organization, if you want to do something, it is really simple. Even a star like Angela, who is well-known in federal society, can be done with just a phone call. For the Truth Society, a famous star is just a star, and in this society controlled by the consortium, everyone must bow to the consortium.

Even the president of the federation is often forced by the consortium to make some concessions, not to mention a small star? As long as someone is unhappy with her, a word, or even an expression, can completely block her.

Rosie shook his head, he didn't care too much about women, or maybe he didn't care about it yet. What really interested him was the spring auction.

The Federation's spring and autumn auctions are very famous throughout the Western world, and the Federation is also known as the Holy Land of Stolen Goods, and the stolen goods from the Republic and the Tuhlman Empire will flow into the Federation through the smuggling teams that have formed a climate, launder them and then auction them off. Masterpieces and top-notch collectibles often appear at these auctions, attracting the attention of all collectors from the Western world.

"Help me get two tickets to the auction, and I'll see it. ”

Avery nodded absently and said, "I'll arrange it for you, but do you bring enough money?"

Rosie smiled and didn't speak, Hano had already escorted a box of gems to rush here, money is equal to a pass in the Federation, Rosie would not be stupid and act like he couldn't see it, he had already made arrangements.

The morning was spent lounging, and just after lunch, Avery informed Rosie that the Truth higher-ups had arrived.

According to the system of the Truth Society, the vice president was one rank lower than the Supreme Sage and the Supreme Prophet, and Rosie did not expect that he would be able to fool the top people of the Truth Society with a casual word, and the fact that he could have a deputy has shown that the truth will value Rossi.

The exchange was arranged in a five-star hotel in Ioto City, which is ridiculous to say, the Federation flaunts its advanced and civilized everywhere, but this five-star hotel, the façade of the upper class, is actually the decoration style of the Tullman royal family. From the inside out, there is a nouveau riche general extravagance, and as for the real nobility, it is impossible to find it at all, and it does not touch the essence of the aristocracy and royal style at all.

Rossi and Rodner sat down separately, and Avery left consciously, and he was not qualified to participate in this level of negotiation.

Rossi did not know Rodner, but Rodner knew Rossi, a great nobleman with unparalleled influence over the new emperor of the empire, and the current top of the Church, the most powerful contender for the next pope.

So he expressed his respect and did not despise Rossi because of his age.

"Thank you very much for being here, Mr. Rodner. "I understand that a big man like you doesn't always have free time, but what I'm about to say is so important that I can only deign to come." ”

Rodner, who was in his fifties, smiled and waved his hand, "You are so polite, Marquis Rossi, me, and all the members of the Truth Society are very serious about what is going to be discussed next. If it weren't for the fact that the permanent chairman couldn't be separated, they would definitely come in person. ”

"It's an honor to be recognized and valued by you and the Truth Society, so we won't have much to say hello, the main purpose of my visit to the Federation this time is to take out the holy relics. Since ancient times, sacred relics have been the most important and precious symbols of the Church, and they are inseparable and transferable sacred objects. However, according to our clues, it will take a very vast project to remove the holy relics, and it is impossible to take out the holy relics if I am alone, so I hope to cooperate with the Truth Society. ”

Rodner shifted his ass, he valued Rosie's words, and thought for a moment, "So what do we get, or what can you give us?"

Rosie smiled indifferently, "A formation diagram that seals the magic array, and the dragon crystal that hasn't been used up yet." ”

"Dragon Crystal?!", Rodna snorted in a low voice, he didn't know about it, the inheritance of the Truth Society was not particularly complete, some magic materials were destroyed or abandoned by angry magicians in the end of the law era, and there was no such thing as Dragon Crystal in the database of the Truth Society. In the Federation, dragons have become mythical monsters, but as a member of the Truth Society, Rodner is well aware that dragons have existed, not fiction.

Dragon crystal is also one of the most valuable materials used by magicians, dragon crystal has many uses, one of which is to urge dragon crystal through spiritual power to launch the natal spell belonging to the dragon clan in the dragon crystal.

He asked eagerly, "Are you sure...... , there's a dragon crystal under the sealing circle?"

Rossi said, "I'm sure! And there's more than one!"

Rodner immediately stood up and paced a few steps from side to side, "I'm sorry, I have to report this to the council, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he held out his hand, and Rosie stood up, and the two shook hands, and Rodna apologized and left immediately. The appearance of Long Jing broke the negotiation plan formulated by the Council of Truth.
