That's it, in January, William, who was caught in a cycle of extreme depression and logic, closed his doors, extrapolated that he was not in good health and was sick, and then refused all social activities. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Because this act coincides with the disintegration of the White Army. So the outside world speculates that it was the disintegration of the White Army that caused William's illness.

Having come to such a fateful conclusion, the outside world celebrated the curse of the scourge that had shaken the stability of the world today. And William, after hearing about this, looked down the balcony on the third floor of the villa, his eyes were full of pity, and he almost cursed: "These idiots".

This life lasted for a few days. After thinking about many options, William finally made a bold decision - since there was no way for the dwarves who were active in the world to help him. Then it's time to head to Rieterjod, the coldest, most inhospitable, snowy Rytjord in the world. It is the home of all the dwarves in this world.

William believed that among the dwarves there, there must be a greater number of geniuses, and there must be "geniuses" who could help him complete the difference machine, help him build a large number of precision lathes, help him build a series of industrial machine tools, and help him catch up with and surpass Briton's industrial power in the shortest possible time.

That's how William made the decision to make a trip to Rieterjod before returning to Russia. The thought could never be erased after it was born, William believed. No, William firmly believes that this is fate, a divine guide. If the Lord of Radiance really exists, then it is definitely his guide.

"So, that's it, I'm heading to Rieterjod. "After all the thought was made, at dinner time that day. William said calmly.

"Oh, you're going to Rytjord. After hearing William say this, Elise and Charumie, William's two wives, failed to react at first. Xia Lumi even nodded stupidly and said, "Okay, just go." Prepare the carriage tomorrow ......"

That's it.

So he had to raise his voice, and said loudly and solemnly: "What I said is that I am going to Rieterjod." ”

“...... Huh?" Hearing William say this, Elise and Charlumi became a little more serious. Then, tentatively, Elise asked, "Do you mean the Grand Duchy of Jutland?"

The Grand Duchy of Jutland, the only remaining part of the former kingdom of Ritjord. Because it was not located on a peninsula in the north like the other territories of Rytjod, but on a prominent peninsula in the north of the Old Continent, it was not affected by the dissolution of the kingdom of Rytjod. Its land and national strength have been preserved to the greatest extent. Today, the Grand Duke of Jutland made a fortune by collecting toll taxes on the Öresund waterway, which connects the Polotsk Sea with the North Sea. The national strength is relatively strong. In addition to this, there is a stronger army.

In the previous civil war in the Ostrogothic Empire, the Grand Duchy of Jutland declared neutrality, and Archduke Christian did not join either the side of the emperor or the side of Briton. Instead, they use their neutrality to recruit displaced people and gain benefits. During this time, I made a lot of money. He even took advantage of the fire to loot and occupy several free cities of the empire and annex them to the Grand Duchy of Jutland.

The Grand Duke himself was complacent about this. For a period of time, he even planned to go one step higher, play the title of king, and even force the emperor to admit it, and be eligible to elect the emperor.

It's just a pity that the Grand Duke's ambitions were not realized. After the end of the civil war, the Grand Duchy of Jutland was somewhat bitter.

They are not on either side. and took advantage of both sides in the war. So of course, it was squeezed out by both sides.

His Majesty the Emperor, Kalman IV, saw him as a destabilizing factor in the empire. And the guys who opposed Emperor Kalman IV also regarded him as a potential enemy. Archduke Christian, who was not pleasing inside and out, had to knock out his front teeth and swallow it himself, and then during this time he worked very hard to pretend to be his grandson, shrinking into Jutland and pretending that he did not exist.

It's no wonder that Elise asks William such questions.

The Öresund waterway is sandwiched between the Ritjode peninsula and the Jutland peninsula. It is an important waterway in and out of the North Sea and the Polotsk Sea. At present, this waterway is in the hands of the Grand Duke of Jutland.

This is not a happy thing for the Russian kingdom, which has only access to the Polotsk Sea. So, after taking control of the kingdom of Wend, Livonia, with its long coastline, and the United Republic of Polotsk, to be exact, William's next target was definitely the Grand Duchy of Jutland.

This is simply a matter of course.

"Not really. ”

As a result, the natural answer was exchanged for William's denial.

"Huh?" Hearing William say this, Elise was a little surprised, "It's not Jutland?

- It is the Rittjod Peninsula, an inland region. William replied calmly, "To be exact, the dwarf settlement." ”

"Why go to such a dangerous place?!" Charlumi couldn't help but ask, "Even with your skills, you can't guarantee safety!"

"I have a reason why I can't go. William said very solemnly. Then she hesitated for a moment, but still gave the reason, that is, about precision lathes, about difference machines, and dwarven skilled workers of level 10 workers...... It's just that of course, after he said these things, Elise and Charlumi both had inexplicable expressions: "What are you talking about?"

Yes, it's like William once sighed, although Elise and Charlumie are both very good and excellent, and they both like him very much...... Unfortunately, none of them understood what William meant.

Educated in the traditional aristocracy, they were completely unable to understand what industrialization was, nor to what extent it was important to a country.

So William was very emotional. Although it is often said that couples don't need to be too similar to each other. will even complain that marrying a wife who is no different from your interests and hobbies is the difference between marrying yourself...... But...... Really...... Never mind.

Seeing William's very empty and lonely look, Elise and Charlumi looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"Although...... But I'm still against you going there. Elise said, "If you really want to hire dwarves there, then send the Cheka there." Don't you have a lot of agents under you, and if you have those guys, why do you want to risk yourself?

"......" Hearing Elise say this, William couldn't help but smile wryly. Those Cheka agents...... If those guys could be trusted, then he really wanted to give them such an important task.

It's just a pity that there are no ace agents in the Cheka at the moment. Neither Black Widow nor James Bond. It's okay to do some special work in the general sense. But it would not work for them to do this kind of anti-heaven task.

So, to be honest, William doesn't trust these guys at all. It seemed like such an important thing, and he didn't believe in anyone except for his own hands.

Of course, there's also a bit of personal heroism here, and he's really that good at it.

One of the strange things about Charlumi during this time is that she is getting older than William.

She was very surprised, because William usually did not do any additional training beyond the necessary basic exercises. After all, William has so much to do.

In contrast, Charlumi herself doesn't have much to do. After relinquishing all her duties in the army, she had nothing but the title of Countess of Circassia. William didn't have much time to spend with her, and she didn't like anything like socializing. Usually it's fine, except for sword practice, which is sword practice.

At this age, Xia Lumi's strength is growing by leaps and bounds. She easily crossed the threshold of the Great Knight and reached the level of Mentor.

In this era of declining personal force, the combat power of the knight mentor level is already rare and cannot be rarer anymore. Sometimes, Xia Lumi even has the illusion that the heroes of the world are better than me. However, she still couldn't beat William. As for how strong William is now, Charlumi can't say clearly. Or in this era, even the combat power of the mentor level rarely appears, let alone the combat power above this.

Perhaps only when he saw William's father, King Otto, would he be able to understand all this.

Thinking of this, Victoria somewhat understood why her uncle was called the last knight in the world today.

That's it, hearing that Elise opposed his decision, William didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head. The attitude is kind and resolute. The two girls, who knew William's temper, immediately understood that William had made up his mind that it would never change because of their opposition.

"You're always like this......" Thinking of this, Elise was a little depressed and a little aggrieved. After muttering like this, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

"......" William pressed Elise on the shoulder very gently: "Don't worry, it's okay." I don't intend to die here either. ”

“...... Well. Elise nodded, smiling reluctantly. On the other side, Charlumi made up her mind: "William, if you really want to go there, take me with you!"

“...... "Hearing Shalumi say this, William hesitated: "Even if you say so, but ......"

"It's okay!" replied Charimi, "although it is not your opponent William, but the average enemy is by no means my opponent. Don't forget, I already have mentor-level combat power. ”
