Chapter 212: A Wise Man's Warning
"Dear Eldest Princess,
Raging Waves has undergone changes that no one expected. Dean Wilred accidentally revealed that he wanted to pass on the position of Director of Oulu Academy to Miss Clearsky, causing the new nobles of Fury Waves to interfere with Oulu Academy.
After the use of unknown forces by a third party, the situation in Angry Waves City has reached the point where both sides have to go all out.
Hope you are mentally prepared.
……”
While writing his usual correspondence to Agatha, Luke thought about it and decided to give her a detailed report on the situation. After all, it is impossible for Agatha not to know about such a big matter, and instead of letting her be suspicious, it is better to let her know the specific process of the incident that happened at Oulu Academy.
Let Agatha understand that this situation has little to do with me.
Luke's exclusive communication channel with Agatha was very fast, and the next day she saw the letter and urgently summoned Wilred, the director of the Oulu Academy, who was meeting in the imperial capital.
Agatha, dressed in formal attire, saw Willred and saluted as a student: "Hello Dean Willred, thank you for accepting my summons in your busy schedule. I'm sure you already know all about what happened at Oulu Academy. Oulu Academy's sanctions against the City Alchemist Association of Raging Waves are causing a huge earthquake in the city......
Of course, this is the punishment that should be given to those who break the rules in the first place. But no matter what the final outcome of this battle is, Professor Weathersky will be a figure who can influence the politics of Fury Waves.
It is rumored that Professor Weathersky is your disciple, and you have the idea of handing her the position of Dean of Oulu Academy.
I wonder why Elf Clear Sky is so favored by you. Oulu Academy has a pivotal position in the Empire, and I hope that the Dean will answer me truthfully. ”
The key person who caused the Runaway City to get out of control this time was the elf Clear Sky. She is ostensibly inclined to the Reform Society, but has recently been strongly co-opted by the new nobles of Angry Waves, and has even held several large-scale discussions with the "Republic" as the core.
Luke also states in the letter that the relationship between Elf Sunny Sky and Lady Mihir is not as close as it seems.
The CIA had very little information about the elven clear sky, so Agatha wanted to use Wilred to make an assessment of the clear sky.
These days, Dean Wilred is also worried about Oulu College.
"Your Highness, all I know about what happened is through letters. According to common sense, I should stop everything in the Imperial Capital and return to Fury Waves now, but I want to see it again...... In my absence, can the College Committee resolve the various incidents?
So far, they've done a great job and I can put my retirement plan on my schedule. ”
Agatha understood the subtext of Dean Wilred's words, and she asked, "Do you approve of the changes taking place within the Oulu College Council?" Vice Dean Elvé has publicly stated that he will not participate in the competition for the position of future dean, and the status of Elf Clear Sky in Oulu Academy has been greatly improved after this incident.
The sanction against the City Alchemist Association is that she is presiding, and you really want to hand over the Oulu Academy to an elf of unknown origin? ”
Willed replied open-mindedly: "The Oulu Academy will one day be without Willred, and it will have to learn how to survive in a world of future strife."
Elvi was only fit to be the vice president, and giving him too much responsibility would hurt him. It is a good thing that he can recognize his own abilities in this incident. As for the others...... I sat in this position for too long, leaving everyone in my shadow, which was helplessness and dereliction of duty.
Elven Sky may not be the best choice, but at this time in the Oulu Academy, she is the only Oulu mage who can deal with problems without being influenced by me.
As for her elf status...... I'm not a pure human being either. ”
Wilred's words sent Agatha deep in thought.
The problems facing the Oulu Academy are not the problems that the Empire is facing.
All the heirs of the empire are always under the shadow of Augustine the Great, and whatever their sons and daughters do, there will be people who compare them with the great achievements of the Emperor.
Over time, their children were extremely cautious in their work, for fear of messing up and upsetting their father.
The situation at the Oulu Academy will only be worse than in the Empire.
Dean Wilred brought Oulu College back to its peak from the ashes. There was no other voice in the academy, and Wilred was the absolutely right direction. When the leader who has led Oulu Academy for a hundred years is gone, can the rigid Oulu Academy still move forward?
The appearance of the elf clear sky undoubtedly brought a new choice to Oulu Academy.
She has defeated the aging Wilred and killed two Abyss Mages. She was not part of the old system of Oulu Academy, and had re-established the Department of Esoteric Arts independently. She is studious and erudite, and extremely kind to her students.
The Oulu Academy incident has once again revealed the temperament of a leader.
No wonder Wilred can sit so firmly in the imperial capital, this is to give the elf clear sky space to continue to play, paving the way for her to inherit the position of dean.
Agatha saw that Wilred's attitude was already very clear, and if nothing happened, it was only a matter of time before Elf Clear Sky became the dean of Oulu Academy.
"But there is a big problem with the mind of the elf Clear Sky, and I fear that she will bring the Oulu Academy to the opposite side of the Empire."
Dean Will Fold said with a smile, "Clear Sky is still a long way from becoming a qualified Dean, and as her mentor, it is my responsibility to take her on the right path."
Please rest assured, Your Highness...... Clear Sky is very intelligent, she knows what is thought and what is action. The well-established system of Oulu College committees will ensure the political attitude that Oulu College has always adhered to. If the Oulu Academy really stood on the opposite side of the empire one day...... The empire should consider whether it is on the opposite side of the course of history. ”
Dean Wilred's last words made the atmosphere of the meeting tense suddenly. said such things to the eldest princess of the royal family, if it were someone else, it is estimated that she would have been arrested and sentenced for treason.
Agatha took a deep breath and said, "It seems that this trip to the imperial capital has given the dean a lot of gains?" ”
Wilred let out a long sigh: "I come to the imperial capital several times a year, and every time I come, I can feel that the back of the prosperous empire is more and more abscesses. tinkering, covering up......
It's hard to imagine what these abscesses will make the empire look like when it can't be mended or covered. ”
Agatha smiled helplessly: "How could I not know that these abscesses will erupt sooner or later, and my father will know it." But no one knows if the empire can withstand it after cutting them.
Maybe if you delay time, you can find a cure. ”
Wilred stood up and patted Agatha on the shoulder: "It's just an old man's complaint, managing an academy is my limit, and managing a country is definitely more difficult than managing a college."
In this new era, we are all groping our way forward, and none of us know who is on the right path.
The only thing you can do is to follow your heart firmly. ”
Agatha hurriedly stood up and saluted Dean Wilred, "Thank you, Lord Dean, for your teachings. ”
After sending Wilred away, Agatha returned to the dormitory to write a reply to the Meteor.
"Hello, stranger:
Although I want to keep this tacit understanding alive, as you said, there are some things that we can't control.
The rumors that Willred was ready to hand over Oulu Academy to Elven Clearsky were true, and even if Elven Clearsky brought Oulu Academy to the opposite side of the Empire, Wildred did not intend to intervene.
This is the prophecy of a truly wise man, and the crisis facing the empire is even worse than I imagined.
I need you, whoever you are.
As long as you help me to perpetuate the empire, I can pardon all your sins and give you ...... Everything I can pay.
When the events in Angry Waves are over, no matter what the outcome is, please come to the city of Saint Lun.
……”
After writing the letter, Agatha did not write her name in the cashier for a long time.
She knew very well how much weight the letter carried and how much her decision would affect her, and the empire as a whole.
Looking at what Meteorite did in Raging Waves City, you can imagine that after he came to the imperial capital, he would have to keep cleaning up the mess he had made. Shenglun City is not a city of angry waves, and as the eldest princess, you have to be careful, and you can put yourself in it if you have a slight mistake.
At this time, Agatha could feel the courage and courage it would take for Dean Wilred to hand over the Oulu Academy to the elven Clear Sky. Any member of the Oulu Academy Council who serves as dean is up to the task. But the world is changing too fast now, and to maintain the status quo is to go backwards.
Dean Wilred did not allow the Oulu Academy to move towards mediocrity, so he chose Clear Sky.
The abscesses of the empire are dragged and allowed to consume the last life of the empire...... Or use a quick knife to dig them up.
In this process, the empire may not be able to withstand death. But as long as you can survive it, you will definitely usher in Nirvana rebirth.
"In this new era, we're all groping our way forward, and we don't know who's on the right path.
The only thing you can do is to follow your heart firmly. ”
Wilred's words echoed in his ears again.
Agatha learned a deeper wisdom from within.
She signed her name at the end of the letter, stamped it with her own seal, and sealed it in a specially made envelope.
"Send it to the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves City as quickly as possible, and hand it over to the Chief Inspector of Meteorite."
Luke was inspecting the shipyard at Ebur when he received Agatha's reply. He put the letter away and prepared to go back to his office to read it again.
In its early days, the Ibor Shipyard only made fishing boats and small merchant ships, but as Ibur's business grew and he became a member of the Raging Waves Council, the Eagles Shipyard was able to receive orders for the construction and repair of some military warships.
The accumulation of technology and military connections have made the Ibur parliamentarians eyeing the all-metal steam warship that is optimistic about the whole world. Once this type of warship is recognized by the Navy, it will definitely quickly eliminate all warships in service.
Those countries that have tasted the sweetness of maritime trade, whether active or passive, will order all-metal steam warships in large quantities.
This is a blue ocean of wealth that has not been developed, and whoever goes first will seize the market first.
However, Congressman Ibur knew that his shipyard was still too young, and he did not put the development of all-metal warships on the capital ship at first, but only hoped to get a piece of the pie from the small warship.
As a result, the Ibur Shipyard has the R&D capabilities and manufacturing technology to create a certain metal warship, and at this time, a capital ship that truly opens a new era of naval warfare is being built in an enclosed dock.
Luke, accompanied by Councillor Ibur, walked on the deck of the lead ship of the "First Machine" class. The 240mm caliber main gun was installed in the bow of the ship, and in the middle of the hull were two large towering chimneys, surrounded by shipbuilders and alchemists.
Luke was accompanied by Viscount Iscollan and Lady Mihir. When they saw this battleship for the first time, they all showed expressions of amazement.
Iscolan sighed unusually with emotion: "There are many wooden warships that are bigger than this, and none of them can give me such a strong sense of shock. There is not a single wooden structure inside or out, it is all steel......
It's a fortress floating on the sea, and I can't imagine anything that could sink it. Of course, it has to be able to drive and run at a decent pace. ”
Although Councilor Ibur had seen the battleship many times, he was excited every time.
"I absolutely believe in Chief Inspector Meteor, he has never lied to us, and not this time. My engineers and shipwrights assembled according to the drawings and data given by the Chief Inspector, with the help of the Mihir Alchemy Machinery Institute.
The 'First Machine' may not be perfect, but it must be invincible. ”
Mrs. Mihir said: "Trust the money we put into the 'first machine' too. The large-scale use of alchemy technology makes it not reproducible, and it also allows it to achieve performance beyond paper data.
There is not a single battleship at sea that is an opponent of the 'first machine', but it is not known when it will be completed. ”
Luke walked on deck, admiring the battleship.
This is a battleship that players have painstakingly used to DIY with existing technology, and there is no problem with its performance in the game, and now it has the blessing of alchemy technology, and there should be no problem with the performance.
As long as it can catch up with the recent naval war, it will definitely be able to become famous and shock the world. With its construction experience, the Ibur shipyard improved its technology and built capital ships of the 'First Engine' type in large quantities.
At that time, to deal with the various forces in Angry Waves City, he didn't need to go through the intrigue with all his might, and directly used a cannon to tell them who they should listen to.
"The 'first aircraft' must speed up the construction progress and enter the sea trial stage as soon as possible. The pirates who surrounded us will not wait for us, and Mrs. Tasya, with her existing anti-smuggling fleet, is no match for the Saxon engineering fleet.
Councillor Ibur gave the workers a bounty for finding a bounty and encouraged them to find ways to speed up the construction process.
The most important thing is confidentiality.
Our adversaries know the news of the existence of the 'First Machine', the later the better! ”
