Chapter 211: An Unexpected Change
The members of the Oulu House Council all showed extreme disgust towards Speaker Grover, and everyone left with Vice Dean Elvi, leaving Clear Sky and Grover in the room.
Feeling the silence again, Clear Sky said, "I arranged for the cadet committee to listen outside. After all, in a sense, I was seen as a member of the Innovation Society, and I didn't want to be misinterpreted. β
Speaker Grover didn't care about the attitude of the Oulu House Committee towards him, he sat back in his chair and asked Sunny Sky pointedly, "Aren't you a member of the Innovation Society?" β
Clear Sky shook his finger, and there were two more ice wine glasses on the table in front of him and Grover. Then a bottle of red wine appeared out of thin air, pouring it into the glass without anyone touching it.
The suspended bottle is extremely smooth, and the red wine flows into the glass without spilling a drop.
"The only thing that is certain now is ...... I'm a professor of magic at Oulu Academy, and the position of Oulu Academy dictates that I can't delve too deeply into the strife of Raging Waves. My relationship with Mrs. Mihir is personal, and I have great admiration for Chief Inspector Meteor, who has changed the city in a short period of time.
After experiencing this incident, it may not take too long for the Angry Waves City to be the Angry Waves City of the Innovation Society. β
Speaker Grover was still lamenting Clear Sky's magical manipulation just now, but after listening to Clear Sky's words, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of pressure.
This time it was framed by a meteorite, and the relationship between the City Alchemist Association and the Oulu Academy entered an all-time low. Even if he tried his best to save it, he only slowed down the time of destruction. If the Oulu Academy takes away the city's R&D system, he will not be qualified to continue to sit in the position of speaker.
Only by finding evidence that the Meteorite had set up a trap for the ruins of the Magical Plant Pavilion could ease relations with Oulu Academy, and then work with Oulu Academy to bring down the Innovation Society.
It can be said that in this Angry Wave City, the new aristocratic forces led by themselves and the Innovation Society led by Meteorite are about to start a battle of life and death.
Speaker Grover didn't expect things to go so far.
In fact, he was also willing to keep the situation in Angry Waves City in a balanced tacit understanding at this time, and then use his size advantage to slowly wear away the fierce momentum of the Innovation Society. The fleet of the Saxon project has arrived, and a large net against Cape Harbor is taking shape.
Originally, on the side of the new nobles, Angry Waves City would eventually return to the hands of the new nobles in its entirety.
But now...... One of his small actions was seized by the meteor to create such a big incident.
Borrow the sword of the Oulu Academy to dig up the roots of the new aristocracy in the city of Angry Waves.
I don't know who will survive who in the end.
And if you want to change from passive to active in this game, the best way is to win the clear sky into your own camp. She can be bought by the Falling Star, and naturally she can be bought by others.
The current clear sky is not only the star of Angry Waves City, but also considered by all parties to be the city's most cutting-edge force. The new nobles conducted a comprehensive investigation of her, and although there was not much information, there was something very interesting.
For example, there is a red steam locomotive in Clear Sky with the name "Republic of the Radiance".
Meteorite is an imperial agent, and behind it is the imperial family, which has a natural and irreconcilable contradiction with the republic.
"I've heard some rumors that Professor Sunny Sky seems to be very interested in the idea of a republic."
Clear Sky picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip of red wine.
"Before I came to Angry Waves, I had traveled the world. I was very touched by the changes of the times, especially when a country can still function well without a king.
A disruptive form of government with great potential for research and is suitable for a long-term research topic. The lifespan of the elves can also support me to do this research, so that the boring journey of life can have more things to enjoy. β
Clear Sky's Versailles-style speech on lifespan made Grover unable to complain, although the lifespan of halflings is also quite long, but compared to the elves, they still belong to a short-lived race.
Grover followed the opening topic and said, "The current form of government in Angry Waves is actually similar to a republic, the empire has no direct jurisdiction over Angry Waves, and the city council brings together the elites of all aspects of the city to formulate the city's grand strategy.
The synthesis of collective wisdom is definitely higher than the wisdom of one person. In addition to its unique geographical location, it is inseparable from the contribution of the city council.
In addition, we have been learning from the experience and lessons of other republics to continuously improve the functions of city councils and government offices. I think this is definitely a case worth studying for Miss Weather. β
When it comes to the academic field, Clear Sky seems to have forgotten a lot of unhappiness and has become very talkative.
"Yes, in the Golden Shield Empire, where imperial power has reached unprecedented heights, there is a republican council in the city of Angry Waves, and this unimaginable combination is the main reason why I was attracted to stay in Angry Waves.
It turned out that I made the right decision.
As in other republics, conservative forces are always looking for ways to regain lost power, just as some republics have reverted to monarchy. For me, the city of Angry Waves is an excellent model for research, it is far less than a country in size but rich enough to rival a country.
A perfect epitome of ideological confrontation. β
The clear sky surprised Grover's heart.
He couldn't help but ridicule Jomington in his heart, and actually used the queen's throne to buy a scholar, which simply tarnished the scholar's IQ and discipline.
What's more, this scholar is still an elf.
It is impossible for a pure politician to understand what a pure scholar wants.
"I couldn't agree more with Miss Clearsky about Angry Waves. The republican ideology is a completely new ideology, and it has been proven in many places that it can completely replace the monarchy. But a new type of thinking is bound to have all sorts of problems, just as the Council of Angry Waves has many flaws.
The recent upheaval in the city is proof of this.
In my opinion, the counterattack of the conservative forces is beneficial to the refinement of the republican ideology. Stress will push us to be more active in self-sublimation, and those who are incapable will be eliminated in the fight, and new people with common ideas will be brought in......"
Clear Sky shook the red wine in his glass and glanced at Grover, "Sir, are you courting me?" β
Grover immediately said, "If Miss Weathersky is willing to join this republican experimental field, it will be the most honorable thing for all of us in this life. β
"I'm a scholar, and I don't want to get bogged down in your fights, and I don't have time to get involved in your fights. β
"But the meteorite has pulled you in." Grover didn't miss any opportunity to splash dirty water on Luke: "The Magical Plant Pavilion Ruins incident is definitely a game set up by the meteorite to frame him!" I'll admit that what I did in it wasn't right either, but I didn't think of hurting the students.
But Meteor dared to risk the lives of his students to provoke Oulu Academy to deal with me. He pulled Oulu Academy into the maelstrom of political struggles in Angry Waves, giving us the most fatal blow.
Miss Weathersky, you should know what the City Alchemist Guild means to Angry Waves. In this new era, the technological innovation of the City Alchemist Association is the source of the city's leading position in the world competition.
Without the City Alchemist Association, we would be vulnerable to conservative forces. At that time, the Empire will regain control of the Mighty Waves, and the Council will exist in name only, if it exists. Republican ideas are bound to be suppressed, and your research model, Miss Weathersky, will disappear after our failure.
There is a high chance that it will not appear anywhere in the world in the future. β
Grover's words made the sky stop shaking the wine, and she fell into deep thought, as if time had frozen in this moment.
This situation gave Grover the urge to portray this beautiful picture. I have to admit that the beauty of the elf clear sky has a strong lethal power to any race, and her beauty has surpassed the delicacy of the skin and belongs to the part of the beauty created by nature.
After a while, Clear Sky said, "If this happens, it will be a very regrettable thing. β
Hearing the loosening of Clear Sky's tone, Grover immediately said: "I definitely have no intention of interfering with Miss Clear Sky's fair and impartial investigation of the ruins of the Magical Plant Pavilion, I only hope that Clear Sky can give the Republic a chance to reduce the sanctions imposed by Oulu Academy on the City Alchemist Association." β
Clear Sky looked at Grover, "To me, however, the Speaker is already interfering with the fairness of this investigation. But I think there is some truth in what the speaker said, and the chief inspector of the meteorite does have some doubts that can be investigated.
I will strengthen the investigation of the Meteorite and the Innovation Society, and I ask for your cooperation. β
For Grover, the change in attitude of Clear Sky may not be as he expected, but a change is a good start.
"I am innocent, and of course I will cooperate with the investigation of the Oulu Academy. On the reduction of ...... to the Society of Alchemists of the City"
Clear Sky drank all the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Throughout the incident, you are not innocent, and you are still the prime suspect in the Magic Plant Pavilion ruins incident. The sanction of the City Alchemist Association is the attitude of the Oulu Academy, and there is no room for compromise.
But I would convince the Faculty Committee to try not to affect the progress of important research projects as much as possible. As for whether the sanctions will be weakened in the future, it depends on your attitude. Respect...... It is the only appeal of the Oulu Academy.
Not too much! β
"Not too much, not too much...... Once again, I apologize to Miss Sunny Sky and Oulu Academy, and I promise that this will never happen again. β
"Good!" Clear Sky poured himself a glass of red wine, motioned for Grover to drink his red wine, and poured him a glass for the time: "That's it for the time being. Facts aside, the Speaker has always been a scholar I admire, especially since you are a very successful politician.
About Republic...... I have a lot of thoughts and questions that I would like to discuss with the Speakers.
I don't know if the speaker has time. β
The speaker did not have time.
This time, Oulu Academy's sanctions against the City Alchemist Association were too sudden. There are countless people waiting for news from Grover in Ragor, and he is calling an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this crisis and the new conflict that is about to break out with the Reformers.
It all happened so suddenly.
But everything is not as important as the clear sky at this moment.
A key person who has a certain affection for the republic, as long as he can pull the clear sky into the camp, everything will be solved.
"There is time...... I also have a lot of respect for Miss Sunny Sky. To be honest, I'd rather stay in the library and swim in the ocean of ideas than go to the city council.
When it comes to the Republic, I think the most recent and most striking reference is the Republic of Leo. They were the most thorough in their reckoning with the old monarchs, and they also experienced the strangulation wars of the empire against the republic.
Recently, the Lookouts have started a war to revive the kingdom in the international and domestic arena of Leo.
This is a great test of the Rio Council's ability to govern internally, as well as its ability to handle international relations, and it is a great test for the new republican ideology......"
Grover uses the Republic of Leo as a model for a new type of republican thought. His erudition and his own unique insights made Clear Sky not help but recognize that Grover was indeed superior in some ways.
During the discussion, Grover also marveled at Clear Sky's unique understanding and development of republican thought.
After all, the current so-called "republic" can only be regarded as a baby for Luke. Its existing shortcomings and future tendencies for perfection are all real material in Luke's memory. Even if the world is different, just taking out some casually is enough to amaze Grover.
As a result, Grover was so immersed in this academic discussion that he forgot what he was supposed to do as president of the city council.
But the academic harmony is short-lived, and the theme of the city is still the struggle for power.
While the City Alchemist Guild was overwhelmed by the sanctions imposed by the Oulu Academy, Luke also received news that pirates had appeared in the seas off the city.
Moreover, these pirates are clearly targeting ships entering and leaving Cape Harbor, and many ships have been looted, and some rumors have spread in Haijiao District.
Many merchant ships turned to other ports in the city of the Furious Waves.
Fortunately, Luke had already predicted the occurrence of this crisis through various intelligence, so he stockpiled a lot of materials in advance. The renovation of the Cape Port will not have a major impact in the short term, but if the sea blockade is not lifted as soon as possible, the Cape Area will not last long.
Thankfully, the new nobles had done something stupid at the Oulu Academy, and under the pressure of the Academy's sanctions, they now had no energy to deal with the Cape District.
Alas!
Donβt wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.
The moment of the decisive battle came when everyone was unprepared. The world is impermanent, and the person who pushes has to move forward.
Even Luke was caught off guard by the speed with which events could change.
Luke received a message from the clear sky, and the plan was going very well. The gesture released by the clear sky made Grover increase his efforts to woo her, and regarded her as a lore to turn the tide.
In the investigation of the ruins of the Magical Plant Pavilion, Clear Sky can get some secrets of the new nobles.
If done correctly, it's also not possible to get Clear Sky into their inner circle.
This requires a thorough plan.
