Chapter 267: The People Who Know the Prophet Best (7200)
On May 25, the year 775 of Terra, the construction of the Snow Mountain Square next to the Dragon Bone Peak of the Great Snow Peak in Nanling was completed.
On this snowy plateau made of endless frozen soil, many high platforms and simple buildings have been erected.
These buildings are home to the workers' residences and the workshops of the town hall, and one terminal after another is located along the mountain road, ensuring that everything is under the jurisdiction of the Heart of Terra.
The 'Frost Dome' hasn't started yet, so it's the 'groundbreaking ceremony', but obviously, this groundbreaking ceremony is just a beginning, and what people really want to see is the strength of Yin Eun Ginfeng himself, and what kind of potential he has as a prophet, and whether it is worth their investment.
On May 28th, with the arrival of the Imperial Deputy Minister of Truth, Im Dell Zaev, and the Earl of Silverpeak, the most cautious of them knew the attitude of the Empire - foreigners could not care about the thoughts of the defenders, but they all remembered the two attacks launched by Axel against the eldest brother of the Earl of Silverpeak.
Although in the future, the reason why Earl Yinfeng was able to become an earl was due to the compensation of the empire, but an obvious attitude could make them settle down.
Many nobles only set off at this time, but there were only more than three days left before the groundbreaking ceremony, and they could only take flying monsters, flying machines or airships.
An airship sailed from Canaan Moore to the Glow.
[This is a mission that is almost certain to death, so we have chosen you, Ace Nemasas. Thou art the blood of kings, and a great psyker who has the blood of kings...... You will definitely be able to withstand this 'promotion' ceremony and become our trump card......]
The voice of the damned Demon Section Director in the Rough Stone Lab was still echoing in his ears a few months ago, and Ace Nemasas could even recite it, muttering in a hazy dream, "...... It's brand new technology and it can be risky, but you also know that it's your only chance. ”
"King of Light (father) is watching me......"
The devil awakens from the flesh.
A pale, unusually weak young elf suddenly opened his eyes, and his long dark green hair and golden eyes proved that he had the blood of the 'Aoba Division', although it may not be much, but being able to ride in the VIP seat of the airship proves that he must be a nobleman.
(Damn, the soul of the blood of the ten kings is really wrong, I will have nightmares for a demon, this is simply unreasonable!) )
Some of the frightened fusion demons looked around cautiously, and no one noticed his gaffe except for one of the guests directly opposite who looked at him with some suspicion.
At this point, the Fusion Demon took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He is Ace Nemasath, the twenty-ninth son of the Flame Land's Light King. Because he had inherited a little bit of bloodline, and he had awakened his psionic powers, he was not relegated to a civilian like the other brothers and sisters, and was even arrested to do some unspeakable bloodline experiments...... After all, it's a bit of value.
However, after determining that Ace's 'Charm Spiritual Energy' could not affect sublimators who exceeded the second energy level, and even the charm of an ordinary first energy level required one-on-one communication, his value was greatly reduced.
Therefore, he was captured by the Rough Stone Research Institute and tried to conduct a 'demon transformation' experiment.
The Kings of the Flamelands have a good reputation among the local people, and although they almost openly conduct various human experiments and inhumane tests, they clearly mark the price and pay the money quickly, which is to pay a lot of money.
Moreover, most of the test subjects are not ordinary people in the real sense, but 'princes and princesses' with the blood of kings.
This is a special phenomenon that only occurs in the Terra Sublimator group: children in the genetic sense are not considered their own children at all, and only those who have the sublimation structure is inherited, and those who have the sublimation bloodline can be regarded as true descendants.
Because of the special bloodline, the inheritance of the kings of the Flying Flame Land does not hinder fertility, but the price is that the bloodline inheritance is also more difficult, and the result of this wide net is that the Wang family has a lot of blood, and there are many of them who are not geniuses.
The kings have always had no humanity in this regard: it is precisely because of the blood connection that many of the results of the experiments made can quickly be converted into strength and gathered on the kings themselves, so they are not merciless in experimenting with their own descendants, and only the best children can survive and become the next generation of kings and vassals.
Ace was unfortunate that he was the 'prince' who was used for experiments. To be honest, can this unlucky identity really be considered a prince? Ace was skeptical.
Luckily for him, Ace's demon conversion was successful, his soul was quite tough, and he didn't lose any sense of self after devouring the demon part, and even his psionic energy was strengthened, allowing him to cast the 'Crowd Human Charm'.
And with this powerful ability, Ace was entrusted with an extremely important task.
That is to infiltrate Canaan Moore, devour a target, and then travel to the Xiahui Realm as that target.
That target is the illegitimate son of a great elder of the Aoba tribe of Canaan Moore, an elven scholar who indulges in sensual pleasures.
The perception of elves is very sensitive, and the pleasure comes very quickly and intensely, so many elves who have no pressure in life will indulge in all kinds of enjoyment, and only those who are the most strenuous and self-disciplined individuals can transcend this physical talent and transform it into a more acute perception of the world or even a supersense.
But it is clear that the bastard scholar named Anruida Aoba does not have this kind of perseverance.
Ace first disguised himself as an elven prostitute with a prosthetic body, then approached the other party as a prostitute, and found an opportunity to take off the elven scholar's 'psionic protective pendant' and devour his soul.
To be honest, Ace doesn't like the kind of being manipulated, even ...... feelings, but he still endures the humiliation.
All because of the promise given to him by his father, Karro Nemasas, the king of light.
[If you successfully complete this mission, then when you return, I promise you that you will try to generate a new 'Demon Bloodline' based on your current posture]
The elegant man sat on the throne, overlooking the pale figure curled up on the carpet, and he said in a surging voice: "Even, I can promise you that I will use the resources of the royal family to promote you]
[Promote you to 'Great Demon']
Demon blood. The Great Devil.
Because he is also a test subject, Ace is very aware of the gold content of these two words...... The Demon Bloodline is the final result of all the experiments of the Fusion Demon Series, imprinting the power of the demon into the bloodline that is almost like a goblin and a virtual realm machine god, but even more distorted and terrifying.
And the Great Demon ...... It refers to the 'Title Demon' who has gone deep into the abyss of the Void Realm and has its own unique form. This kind of demon is at the peak of the third energy level at the bottom, and on his own, he will not be able to become so strong in his life.
At that time, Ace was very excited, until he heard his goal.
The Xiahui Territory of the Southern Ridge of the Empire, the territory of the Prophet of Silver Peak.
"How can I make it?"
At that time, Ace asked, "That's a prophet, he would have known the results of our actions half a year earlier!" ”
[But there are limits to prophets]
The king in his memory sneered and said, "Your actions are important, but they are not the only ones, Earl Yinfeng is so powerful in Nanling, do you guess that other nobles are happy to see this situation? Those little nobles don't mind taking our money to cause trouble for the Silver Peak Lord, they don't really want to be held down by a young and ambitious earl. 】
[In particular, the recent trade of the Silver Peak Territory has severely suppressed the development of other territories - either cooperate and join their system, or become a remote forgotten zone, and then extremely poor]
[Not to mention, there are some things, even if he knows, he can't fight against them]
Ace shook his head slightly, and he raised his head to meet the passenger sitting directly across from him, an Imperial nobleman.
"I'm sorry, I've been sleeping a little hard lately."
Ace said with a smile using the appearance of 'Anrida Aoba', and he used his psionic energy 'Charm' slightly, "Where are we now?" Is it still in time for the groundbreaking ceremony? ”
"It's still in the Golden Plains."
Although this imperial nobleman also had the strength of the second energy level, he still subconsciously felt good under the charm of the demon, and replied fluently: "But soon, the foundation laying ceremony will be held in the afternoon, and there will be a harvest ceremony of the Silver Peak Leader before it...... We can't catch up with the ceremony, but it's not very important. ”
All the people on this airship were people who had gone to Yinfeng to join in the fun, a small number of them were nobles or envoys, and most of them were travelers with a little spare money at home.
"You're also interested in the Cult of Souls?" Ace noticed the nobleman's family coat of arms...... He was the Viscount of Riemore of the Western Plains, a martial nobleman. But at present, he doesn't have the slightest cocoon on his hands to practice swords and bows, but like the bastard elves, he has a depraved taste of being immersed in women.
But even so, theoretically, he should stay in the Western Plains, which is now considered the front line, and be responsible for supplying supplies to the Western Legion, if he is not really interested, it is impossible to come to Yinfeng Territory by empty boat.
"Interested? Of course! As soon as he talked about this, Viscount Lime Lime became angry, and he sneered with indignation: "If it weren't for our wise and wise prophet who snatched all the military food orders, how would I have time to run to this penal colony where birds don't?" ”
Induced by the enchanting psychic power, he began to talk eloquently.
It turned out that the Remour family was indeed a martial noble, but after conquering the natives of the West, these predator-blooded knights of the past have fallen from generation to generation and become the local mediocre lords and nobles.
The Lime family is now mainly engaged in the grain industry, and in the ten-year confrontation between the Empire and the Flame Lands, he successfully transformed into a military food supplier to the Western Legion.
Originally, his good life wanted to come to an end, either the empire was defeated, or the empire won a big victory, bulldozing Absalom's group of soft-footed eggs in one go, and judging from the current situation, he could at least earn another four or five years.
But who knows, some time ago, a strange army sprung up.
That was the military food of the Silver Peak Collar.
In today's Terra, there is no very well-established concept of 'professional rations'. The nobles and their knights naturally prepared the best sublimation tonic for themselves, and the elite troops also had special rations, and meat was available for every meal.
But for those garrison troops and engineering troops stationed in the fortress, what they eat is basically based on what the local area provides.
In this respect, the Viscount of Lime considered himself to have treated the sergeants unkindly. At least 80 percent of the food he provided was good, and the remaining 20 percent was just old grain, and no one could eat it when it was made into food, so there was absolutely no problem.
For so many years, which country's army has not been like this? Even the soldiers themselves feel that it doesn't matter, anyway, it's good to eat in this kind of border mountainous area, and the empire at least doesn't withhold military rations, which is already quite conscientious.
However, the opponent is Yin Eun.
With the help of the new agricultural system based on the agricultural building, Yin En quickly opened a large number of sugar and oil mills, and the various 'sugary drinks' that followed have been launched under more than four different brands, namely the classic 'Happy Cola', 'Delicious Orange Juice', 'Sweet Flower Tea' and 'Joy Lemonade'.
Although currently only sold around the Nanling Agate Plain, the popularity of these four drinks is beyond anyone's imagination - the Agate Plain has recently grown a large amount of corn as a syrup ingredient, so the Silver Peak Leader has kept the price very low, and you can buy a bottle for about two pfennigs.
According to the guarantee of the Beverage Development Division, as long as the alchemy park can mass produce various additives, then with the lower price of syrup raw materials next year, they are confident that the price can be suppressed to one bottle of pfennig.
Two pfennigs are enough to buy a kilogram of wheat and a bottle of sugar water, which may sound like a bit extravagant.
But in today's Nanling, sugar is originally a luxury, not to mention, it has become a trend in related publicity.
And just when everyone thought that Yin Eun would take advantage of the trend to develop other more drinks, when he became a beverage earl.
He also opened a series of new food workshops aimed at creating compressed spare grains that could be stored for a long time.
Compressed biscuits of various flavors, canned air-dried meat that can be stored for decades (or even hundreds of years), delicious and juicy canned fruits, concentrated syrup, fried noodles, canned braised pork, canned boiled beans......
As soon as these products were developed, everyone knew that they were food that was specifically designed to be stored as food for the dead.
For the people of Nanling who have experienced the food disaster, it is really safe to have a box of compressed biscuits at home, not to mention the abundant combination of canned food, which can definitely bring good news to all people with food shortage phobia.
Of course, compared with the beverage series, the price of spare grains and all kinds of canned food is relatively expensive, and the only cheaper ones are the various canned salted fish and canned fish puree developed in cooperation with Port Harrison. There are also high-ranking alternatives to 'canned shrimp sausages' and 'canned fish luncheon', but in general, if you think of them as a 'reserve investment' rather than a daily commodity, then these cans taste and price perfect.
"Who knows, they actually started to develop military rations!"
At this point, Viscount Lime almost gritted his teeth.
It's no wonder that he gritted his teeth - because with the launch of the Yinfeng Leader Grain series, they, the nobles of the Western Plains, completely lost the right to directly supply military rations and became the material suppliers of the Yinfeng Leader Food Processing Factory.
One pack of beverage brewing agent can brew more than 800ml of sweetened beverages.
A quick hot military ration, with meat, oil, vegetables and fruits, if it is paired with orange juice, even vitamins are supplemented.
In addition to this, Silver Peak Collar also offers a large number of cheap sugar packets - sugar is extremely important on the battlefield, it can quickly provide the body with heat and energy, has a long shelf life and is easy to carry.
This is the contrast between industrialized military rations and classical military rations, and Viscount Lime and the other nobles of the Western Plains are considered to be completely defeated and can only withdraw from the market - not to mention that there seems to be the shadow of the second prince behind him, and not long after the actual commander of the Western Legion tasted the sample, the corresponding order was issued.
The attitude of the royal family is obvious. Viscount Limore couldn't resist.
It doesn't sound like a difference, but who doesn't sell?
But the people on the prophet's side are not easy to fool, they are quite strict with the raw materials, and I don't know why, no one takes bribes, and the honest ones are just like the saints, which makes people scratch their heads.
can't make money or water, so he can only work honestly, and even because of relevant cooperation reasons, he has to go to other people's territory to negotiate relevant contracts with people, no wonder Viscount Limore has such a big temper.
Ace expressed deep sympathy for this.
Unexpectedly, it was not only the Flying Flame Land that had a headache, but even the Imperial people themselves had a headache for this prophet...... It's no wonder that there are so many imperial nobles in Nanling who are willing to secretly cooperate with Flying Flame, and they must also be unable to make money because of this Earl of Silver Peak's actions, so they are born from the guts.
But for some reason, Ace wanted to sigh a little.
Although he is an enemy, in serious terms, Earl Yinfeng's every move has brought benefits to the empire.
Whether it is the new agricultural reform, or cheap sugar supplies, or those compressed military rations and all kinds of canned food, they will greatly increase the supply richness of the western legions of the empire, and even bring about an increase in combat effectiveness.
Not to mention anything else, Ace was sure that although Count Silverpeak had never arrived at the Western Front, the soldiers there definitely knew Yin Eun Silverpeak's name.
However, such a nobleman who had made great contributions was secretly disgusted and hostile by other imperial nobles, and even complained almost hatefully like the person in front of him.
Imagine the same situation inside the Flamelands......
"Alas, when will the world calm down." Obviously he was a demon, but Ace couldn't help but complain in his heart: "In the final analysis, Earl Yinfeng's strength is poor, if he has a fourth energy level, how can anyone dare to mumble him behind his back." ”
"So do I. If I don't become a great demon, I will never come out...... So I'm sorry, Prophet, that's my task. ”
"Damn, the food provided on this empty boat is actually produced by Yinfeng!"
And just as Ace was once again firm in his will, Viscount Limore's grumbling sounded again.
Looking up, Ace saw the airship's attendants pushing the dining cart over. The food provided on the dining car happens to be the fast food series produced by Yinfeng Ling.
Not listening to the complaints of the imperial nobles next door, Ace watched with great interest as the flight attendant lifted the lid for him.
A small box of condensed milk, two creamy breads. A steaming beef curry burrito, a can of 'braised chicken thighs', a canned cup of sweet peaches, a bottle of iced Cola, and a sweet sauce salad.
For those of them with status, this is not a sumptuous meal, and it is even a little shabby. Most people order these dishes just out of curiosity and want to know how good the 'mass-produced food' produced by Xia Huiling tastes.
Ace tasted it, and the bread with condensed milk was extremely sweet and very fluffy, apparently using new technology.
The beef in the beef curry rice is a bit too bad, this is obviously an overcooked canned beef in an industrial cauldron, but it tastes very good, and when eaten with the large burritos underneath, one serving is enough for an average soldier's meal.
On the other side, the braised chicken thigh, this braised word is a new word, Ace took a bite and realized that this cooking method requires a lot of oil, and it also contains caramel...... This cooking technique has been similar in the cold regions of Yanjiang, but Xia Hui led ...... Actually made into canned food?
As for the canned fruit and salad, it was mediocre, he had eaten similar before, and in this regard, the silver peak collar did not have any advantage.
But Coke gave the demon an extra surprise: "What is this? Somewhat irritating...... But on the contrary, it activates the sense of taste...... The elf's perception is too acute, this feeling ...... Pretty good! ”
"However, the first bite is very good. The second sip is ordinary sweet water, which most people may like, but I have never lacked sugar. ”
Even so, Ace's heart was already quite shocked: "Suppose the price of these foods is really as cheap as advertised...... In the future, won't everyone in the empire be able to eat these delicious and cheap foods? ”
"Earl Yinfeng, you actually made such a big result in silence?!"
"Boring stuff."
But Viscount Limore, who was on the other side, threw down the tableware with a look of annoyance: "The bread is ordinary, the beef is of poor quality, what kind of braised chicken thigh meat has a strange smell, and what spices are used?" Isn't it to cover up the smell of dead chicken? ”
"And this Coke, I really don't know what to drink, it's better to have half a little wine."
"It's just this kind of thing, I don't know where Yinfeng got the courage to take it out and sell it! Earl Yinfeng is really a guy with no background, and he directly got the title of earl by virtue of the prophet......"
Ace looked at the Imperial nobleman with a strange expression.
He couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in his heart: "This guy, do you really know what you're evaluating against?" On aristocratic terms, any food can be singled out. ”
"But according to the information from our Flying Flame Land, Yin En Silverpeak intends to popularize this food in his territory...... Distribute on demand through the town hall and completely eliminate the food crisis! ”
"Instant food and canned food are effective against the onslaught of our biological weapons in the Flame Field, as well as infestation infections, and all kinds of high-heat processing are enough to kill the stealthy corrosive bacteria...... We're all about to think about how to break through the food safety defense line of the Xia Hui Territory, and if these things become more common in the future, the threat of biological weapons will be reduced by half - but the imperial nobles are disgusted that these foods are not delicious enough? ”
Even in the Flamelands, the problem of food has not been completely solved, the kings have no intention of controlling the population, the population is rising, but the arable land has not expanded, and the Flamelands are locked in an encirclement of the Abasarom Mountains in the quiet sea, and they must wage war to have a chance to breathe.
In order to compete for more land, but also to consume more 'unneeded population', the Flamelands have been warlike since ancient times, which is the result of geography, and if they could, the Flamelands also want peace, but unfortunately everything is fate.
However, the agricultural building of Xia Hui Ling is a turning point to change this situation, and there are organizations within the Flying Flame Land that have begun to try to reproduce the foundation of this new agriculture, but unfortunately the details are still incomplete, and the war is imminent, even if it is actually reproduced? That's something that only the next generation can enjoy.
Yin Eun Yinfeng...... In more peaceful times, he might have become a sage. He will put an end to famine and change society, he will divide his wealth among all, so that the commoners can drink the sweet honey water reserved for the nobility, and everyone will have a delicious and full meal. ”
Ace suddenly wanted to laugh: "Perhaps, we, the enemies of the prophet, are the ones who know the prophet best." ”
"It is precisely because we know what he can do, so we will do our best to eliminate and suppress him. On the contrary, it is you, the allies, who are afraid of him, and beware of him. ”
- It is a blessing for your empire that you have Count Silverpeak. We are enemies of him only because he is an Imperial, not because of his own knowledge and ability.
"Rotten Imperial nobles......" he sighed inwardly.
Because of the charm of the psychic ability, Viscount Limore is still trying to talk to this charismatic elven scholar, although the other party is a man, but not to mention that the elf appearance is mostly neutral, even if it is really a man, it is not a matter for the nobles of the empire.
It's just that Ace has no interest in communicating with this arrogant and boring imperial nobleman, he turns his head sideways and looks through the window in the direction of the Xiahui Leader in the distance.
That's where he was targeted.
"It's time to get in touch with Rongying for the next step."
He thought to himself.
Even if the other party is a sage who is enough to change the world, they will not have any mercy.
It's sad, but there's no way around it.
From the very beginning, this world has been divided into two camps that are the simplest and most straightforward.
'You' and 'We'.
There may be an inconsequential 'them', but that's just the 'you' who can strive to be 'us'.
"It's a pity that you're not on our side."
At this moment, the airboat has begun to enter the Baisson Mountains.
You can see in the distance, where the great snow-capped top, deep in the Bison Mountains, is located, and there is a holy and pure light shining brightly.
The ceremony has begun, and the really important envoys and bigwigs have long been in place, and their group of 'latecomers' are inconsequential existences.
But soon, they will shock the whole world.
Close your eyes slightly, then open them again.
His eyes flashed with a bright purple glow, and the demon 'Confused' released his spiritual energy with all his might.
At this moment, all the personnel in the entire airship were charmed by Ace...... Control.
And then...... Continue to drive in the direction of Xiahui City!
