A storm has been brewing among the people of the city of Seren.

It took him a moment to quickly flip through the newspaper in his hand, and soon he found articles in the newspaper that the Seren Helpers thought were problematic.

As Hug had predicted, the Pax de la Paix and its editor-in-chief Philip had put a lot of effort into the matter, and the headlines of today's newspapers, which should have been reserved for the great kingdoms of Vann, were overrun by a few strange pieces of news that were clearly not quite right.

"The Journey of a Plain Teresan in Seren—The Sad Years of Turning Away from Home."

"Hidden hostility, or false symbiosis? On the change in the relationship between Wattle and Deresa. ”

"The crystalline mine belonging to the Wattel Kingdom is suspected of maliciously squeezing the crystalline miners."

"Who else is looking forward to the armistice celebrations?"

“……”

Titles and so on filled the newspaper, and an absurd color that made Xiuge frown flowed between the lines, and the intention of these articles was too obvious, with deliberately woven special headlines, obviously biased text content, events and cases that were difficult to easily examine, and the right control and incitement of the emotions of the audience of these articles......

Xiuge even read a strong sense of déjà vu in it.

After all, he is nostalgic for the past, and similar articles have always been able to occupy people's attention in a more rapid way, and the people who publish these ambiguous articles often do not delve into the roots.

In other words, from the moment they are written down and made public, the truth is no longer the point.

Emotions are.

Such a newspaper was destined to have a hard time conveying truly useful information, and it was only after shugging through the entire newspaper that he found an article about the recent summit of the kingdoms of the Lowe Plateau in the middle of the corner.

The content of this article is short and concise, and its author outlines in concise and easy-to-understand words some of the contents of this important summit - as the initiates have sensed before, the steam ordnance reform initiated by the Kingdom of Wattel is affecting the whole of Vann at an alarming rate, and at this summit, the Kingdom of Waters and several surrounding vassal states issued a joint statement.

They believe that the large-scale development of steam power is destined to have a major impact on the magic-dominated Vann, and if the kingdoms and the Law Council want to minimize the damage caused by this impact, they should focus on promoting the combined use of the two types of steam and magic, as the Kingdom of Wattle did.

The author of this article, who goes by the pseudonym "Mayer", pointed out that the statement made at the summit has shown the greatest respect that the Kingdom of Wattel has for Vann and the Law Council, and according to valid sources, the Kingdom of Waters has actually begun to carry out new ordnance and heavy technology reforms, and a large number of new equipment that can realize the combination of magic and steam power are being promoted to the factories and armies of the Kingdom of Waters at an alarming rate.

"I'm concerned that the stable structures that used to be built up by the Council of Magic and Law are being attacked, and in fact, they have been working in secret for decades or even decades...... The steel behemoths that spew smoke from the Lowe Plateau don't stop easily, and if someone tries to stop them as they go, tragedy is inevitable. ”

At the end of the article, Meyer expressed his concern: "I am only a scholar, not a prophet who can spy on the future and destiny, and I believe that careful logic and thinking are the important cornerstones of our view of the changes in the world, and when changes do occur, no organization, group or individual in Van En will be immune from its influence, and we should be prepared." ”

After reading the article, Huge silently tore the article from the newspaper, and then stuffed the entire remaining newspaper into a metal waste cardboard box next to the street.

If he could, he would really like to meet the "Meyer" scholar now.

Nowadays, the level of information transmission in Van En is still limited by the development of the world itself, although all kinds of magical magic and magic products can bring the two ends of the world closer, but it is still very difficult to collect a lot of information in the world by yourself, and the transmission channels of various news, news and important information are still firmly controlled by the nobles and the legal committee.

The vast majority of people are the same as the people in the city of Seren.

The only choice they can make is "listen" or "don't listen".

That's all.

……

Probably because the latest issue of the magazine had already been issued, on the bus to the Peace newspaper office, Xiuge caught the attention of many passengers, who nodded to the famous "writer" in the city.

Of course, there were some of them, most of whom worked in the education, arts, and publishing industries in the city of Selen, who were hostile and contemptuous of the use of gaudy words to "please" the public.

For the former, Huge always smiled, and to be honest, although he didn't like to be discussed and appreciated in front of him, he had no ill feelings towards the low-level residents who liked this kind of writing.

Their daily lives are already boring and boring, and if their words can add two points of color to their leisure time, it will be enough to make people happy.

And the latter, whose faces are full of contempt......

Xiuge didn't even bother to debunk them, after all, his manuscripts were always only published in the kind of "unpopular" magazines, and if he didn't read these magazines on weekdays, how would he know what he had written recently?

As for the strange thing that some people think that their actions have "insulted" the status of the noble, Xiuge is even more lazy to pay attention to it, according to his thoughts, the title of "illegitimate child" alone is enough to be blasphemed, on this basis, it doesn't matter what he does, the Ernst family doesn't care, what do you care?

If you don't like it, you can write to the Kingdom of Waterl!

In this way, in the midst of all kinds of eyes, Xiuge once again came to the southern square of the city of Seren, where the Peace Newspaper was located.

As soon as he stepped into the southern square, Siug's brow furrowed involuntarily, for he couldn't see the door of the Peace Newspaper from where he stood - it was densely packed with figures, and his voice was restless, and it seemed as if something not quite good had happened.

Shuge folded his manuscript paper and put it in his pocket, then leaned towards the crowd.

Before he could get closer, he heard a heated argument from the crowd.

Miss Qili, the female clerk of the Peace Newspaper with heavy makeup, was now surrounded by several plainly dressed residents of the city of Salem, her face full of panic and anger, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not disperse even half a cent around her people.

"Why are you sending an article like this?"

"Ma'am, please answer me, is there any benefit to the Peace Newspaper in doing such a thing?"

"Withdraw the newspapers from the market and punish the relevant clerks......"

"And apologize! Apologize! ”

The high-spirited crowd pointed to the door of the Peace newspaper and angrily denounced: "Your actions are a slander and slander against the reputation of the city of Seren! Even though it was about to be an armistice celebration, you allowed this kind of writing to be published...... How bad! ”

Shug stood in the crowd for a moment, his magic carefully mobilized, and with the slow turn of the magic disc he was able to take into his ears the slightest discussion in the crowd, and he soon understood what was going on.

These people who have kept the Peace Newspaper firmly in check are the "Seren Mutual Aid Group" in the city.

Shugg noticed that many of these angry people still had the newspaper that the Peace newspaper had issued today, and they pointed to the words that had taken up the pages of the newspaper, and vented their anger at the Peace newspaper and its clerks.

"Please disperse, you have affected the normal work of the newspaper!"

As the secretary of Philip's editor-in-chief, Miss Cherry is still trying to maintain order on the scene, and she does not hesitate to move out of the police station and the Law Committee in Salem as a threat: "We have informed the police and mages, and they will come soon to maintain order, if you have any complaints, please talk to them!" ”

Hearing this, Xiuge couldn't help but shake his head.

Coming from a wealthy merchant family, the clerk had a natural estrangement from the miners, the farmers, and the workers in the workshops, and she never knew how to really communicate with them.

Sure enough, the moment these words came out, the members of the Seren Mutual Assistance Group who were blocking the door of the Peace Newspaper office were detonated, and they instantly made a noise, and the grumpy ones were almost about to step forward and make a move.

At this time, a leading young man stood up, he had brown curly hair, he was wearing a somewhat shabby gray-black trench coat, his face was calm, and there was a conspicuous black blue on the left side of his face.

"Ma'am, almost every family in Salem has received kindness and help from Mutual Aid at one time or another, and we have never wanted to have a conflict with anyone."

The young man stopped the inhabitants who were trying to continue to shrink the encirclement, and then said in his own deep voice: "The purpose of our coming here has been made clear, and if the editor-in-chief of the Peace newspaper is willing to listen to our opinion, then everyone will disperse now." ”

"You're a threat, sir, you're definitely a threat!"

"The Helpers didn't want to threaten anyone, we just wanted to know why the newspaper allowed such a text...... The members of the Helpers here are from different countries, I am from Waterl, these friends are from Teresa, and many are free people from dependent kingdoms, and we all think that the newspaper publishes these words to slander and hurt all those who live together in the city of Seren! ”

The young man's behavior and attitude were very polite, but his voice and words were full of power, and as a bystander, he could not help but applaud him in his heart when he listened to his words—his attitude and ability to handle affairs even exceeded that of many petty officials who ate the salaries of the two kingdoms.

The female clerk was choked in place by this series of words, her face was pale, her lips trembled slightly, but she was speechless.

At this moment, there was an alarm in Xiuge's spiritual world, so he decisively retreated from the crowd and stood with the outer-farther crowd of onlookers as quickly as possible.

Miss Kiri's police officers finally arrived, and with the sound of horses' hooves, several police officers rode to the southern square, and these vigilantes in dark blue uniforms continued to wave their clubs painted with red and black oil paint, while using the metal whistles in their mouths to make a series of high-pitched whistles of warning.

The members of the Seren Aid Corps were all ordinary people in the city, and although they had gathered here because of their anger and confusion about the Peace Newspaper, they were still timid after all, and in the face of these menacing police officers, they were scattered in an instant, except for the young man, who was obviously a key member of the Aid Corps, remained in place.

The young man sighed helplessly at the police officers who were waving clubs at him, and then he was brutally taken aside, his hands bound by the standard magic ropes, which were enough to restrain the "prisoner" without other magical intervention.

Of the crowd of onlookers, only Hug noticed that after the officers arrived at the scene, one of the members of the Tricolor Brotherhood who was leading the way pressed his hat, turned around and disappeared into the edge of the square.

“……”

Xiuge narrowed his eyes, but he didn't venture in the direction of the tricolor Brotherhood member, after all, he knew on his knees that this group of young thieves and professional stalkers was most likely involved in related matters, and it was not feasible to obtain key information by tracking down such low-level members.

While the police chased and expelled the poor members of the Mutual Aid Group, Xiug silently came to the alley on the side of the Peace Newspaper Office, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately put his magic into action, so with the consumption of magic power and the chanting of the incantation, the three-tailed mouse appeared next to Xiuge again.

Following its master's orders, the magical creature quickly reached Shog's feet and deftly scurried up his thigh, thus hiding in the shadow of the hem of the long trench coat.

After completing the preparations, Xiuge immediately adjusted his demeanor and expression, and then walked towards the main entrance of the Peace Newspaper with a smile.

Under the disgusting gaze of Miss Qili, under the cautious observation of the police officers, and under the complicated gaze of the members of the Mutual Aid Group, Xiuge walked into the door of the Peace Newspaper with the magical creatures he had summoned.
