Chapter 3: The Missionary Corps
The battleship floated silently in the sky, and Chu Li did not directly contact anyone in this world, including the high-ranking or extraordinary people of any country.
But he knew that someone would come to contact them, and there were all kinds of extraordinary people in this world, and each extraordinary person had his own specialty.
There are also extraordinary people who can prophecy and interpret knowledge.
It is estimated that someone will soon predict that the Thousand Worlds and One Vehicles of the Middle-earth team may come from other worlds, and they can also predict the arrival of the Middle-earth team, which should be beneficial to this world.
At that time, the people of this world will take the initiative to contact Chu Li and them, and the Zhongzhou team can also take advantage of this to obtain higher and freer rights.
Sure enough, after a thousand worlds stayed in the sky above Beckland for two days, some ordinary people didn't care about it, and it was better to care about these things than to care about how the price of food could drop after the repeal of the Grain Act, and it was better to care about what they could afford to eat for the next meal, and it was better to care about where they lived next month.
Anyway, the one in the sky, let's just be a ship, just stayed quietly in the sky, did not fall or move, and did not attack ordinary people like them.
What's more, as ordinary people, they are very self-aware, even if this kind of thing is a weapon, it is the rulers of the country who want to attack first, those nobles who live in the streets of the West End of Beckland, for them slum guys, as long as they do not go to the West End or other rich streets during this time, it is safe.
Of course, this is something that only the more knowledgeable people among the poor can think of, and most ordinary people do not have such a cognition.
And for Rune, for the Thousand Worlds One Ride this spaceship, many people have already guessed the role of this thing.
After all, more than a hundred years ago, the manuscripts left behind by the brilliant emperor, Russell the Great, some of which were considered whimsical, were considered impossible works left by the emperor after his madness in his later years, and the spaceship was one of them.
The Extraordinaries who have made the prophecy, the Reader Path, the Prophet of Sequence 4, the Prophecy Master of Sequence 3 of the Voyeur Path, the Knowledgeable Path, and the Knowledge Mentor of Sequence 2 have all determined that this is indeed the spaceship recorded in Russell's manuscript.
This also washed away some of the stigma that Russell the Great received in his later years.
After the assassination of Russell the Great, many of the manuscripts he had preserved were lost to the people, many of which were considered whimsical and impossible to realize.
Now it seems that it may not be that Russell is too whimsical, but that these descendants are completely unable to understand the wisdom of this ancestor!
At the same time, more and more Extraordinaries are coming to Beckland, or heading for Beckland, a spaceship!
If the design and secrets of this spaceship can be figured out, then these extraordinary people who rely on machinery, on invention, and on civilization will be even more powerful.
Among them, the god of knowledge and wisdom, the god of machinery and steam, attaches the most importance to this spaceship.
Beckland, George III is also consulting with many ministers and nobles, the attitude towards this spaceship, although this kind of consultation and negotiation is indeed a little strange in the eyes of some people, a kingdom that has just been able to build an ironclad ship, discussing with each other the attitude towards the sudden arrival of the space warship.
"First of all, the civilization that can build a spaceship must be very powerful for us, and for us, the attitude of the other party is related to the future direction of our country and even our world.
So we have to send the best diplomats to the ship, to communicate with those people, to determine the attitude of the other side, who do you think, who is the most suitable? "George III was surprised by the arrival of the spaceship, but as a Sequence One, plus King Rune, the de facto ruler of the country.
George III's knowledge of the extraordinary is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, for him, although the spaceship is powerful, and even according to the predictions of the prophets, this spaceship can even annihilate the demigods and resist the attacks of some of the Sequence 2 angels, only Sequence 1 can be sure to shoot down this spaceship.
So he wasn't very nervous about the appearance of a spaceship, he was worried about the civilization behind the spaceship.
Whether or not that civilization is likely to craft a weapon of war capable of fighting the gods of Sequence 0 is what really matters.
After all, weapons are not extraordinary, as long as they are sure that they can be made, they can be made in batches.
Being able to knock back a Sequence 0 is no different from being able to annihilate a group of Sequence 0s.
Fortunately, according to the language of the prophets, the arrival of the ship is a good thing for this world.
"Your Majesty, I think we must also make the necessary preparations to prevent some extreme situations from happening when we are communicating." As a great banker and a great nobleman with fiefdoms, Count Hall actually had no lower status in Rune than some dukes.
Even higher, in a way, he is naturally qualified to participate in the discussion of the upper council of Rune, of course, his main issue is the development of the kingdom's economy, so he continued: "If the worst happens, the kingdom's economic situation must also be taken into account. ”
Although Count Hall's status in the kingdom is not low, his understanding of the Extraordinary is only superficial, and he even consciously avoids knowing more about the secrets between the Extraordinary.
For the nobles, they know perfectly well that the extraordinary are poor people who are on the verge of getting out of control all the time, and there are secrets between those extraordinary people, and that knowledge is also very dangerous for ordinary people, and the nobles do not need to be extraordinary, the church will provide them with protection.
"We'll discuss this after the meeting, and now we're going to determine how to communicate and talk with the ship, and whether the ship's information needs to be blocked." George III said to the crowd.
Hearing this, some of the great nobles immediately said that the blockade naturally needs to be blocked, otherwise the information of the space battleship will be exposed, and it is likely to make the country become turbulent, "Think about the Southern Continent!" What is the difference between us now and the Southern Continent that was discovered at the beginning? Do we use the guns of ironclad ships to bombard the battleships flying in the sky? People may have some associations! ”
Since the discovery of the Southern Continent by Rousaille the Great, the human trade and slave trade have continued, which has brought a thriving trade to Rune, Intis, and Fursac, giving birth to colonialism, but also making the situation in the Southern Continent even more dire.
Although all countries have a unified voice, their trade is civilized, and they have brought freedom and civilization to the southern continent, there is a fact that cannot be changed, that is, the people of the southern continent have never had a better life or development because of colonization, and their situation is almost no different or changed compared with more than a hundred years ago, and to some extent, they have even regressed.
Of course, this is also from the perspective of the whole community.
On a personal level, there are certainly some natives of the Southern Continent who have seized the opportunity to change their destiny and make their lives better than before.
But after all, this is only a minority.
Colonialism has always brought wealth to its own country by plundering colonies, whether this plundering is civilized or uncivilized.
Although this statement is very reasonable, insightful and more predictable, it is a pity that it is not in the interests of George III.
For the space battleship that appeared in the sky over Beckland, this was naturally unexpected by George III and beyond the scope of his plan, but sometimes, this kind of accident beyond the scope of the plan may also be a help for him to complete the plan.
George III was silent, and as a king, he rarely expressed his attitude directly.
And Duke Negan, who had communicated with him in private, stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think the point of this matter is whether it should be concealed or not, what we need to do now is to immediately establish diplomatic contact with the owner of this warship and the country or civilization behind the warship.
Because we have determined in some way that the arrival of the warship will be beneficial to us, I think you will naturally understand the meaning of this, as long as we take the lead in establishing contact with the civilization behind that warship, what will be the advantages and benefits that we can gain from Rune?
And once the connection is established, we can inform the whole country, and even other countries!
Also, gentlemen, do not compare a civilized kingdom like ours with the barbarian tribes of the Southern Continent, we are more civilized, tolerant, free, and the country we govern is more prosperous.
Our arrival has liberated the natives of the Southern Continent from being bound by those tribes, no longer afraid of the bloody superstitious traditions, and free to choose their profession! ”
Yes, the people of the Southern Continent have now been given freedom and the right to choose, but their choice is usually divided into two types, one is to be a slave on a plantation, and the other is to go to another plantation to be a slave.
Some of the nobles thought to themselves.
After a moment of silence, George III took the lead in saying, "Is there anyone else who has a different opinion and opinion?" ”
When the nobles heard this, they quickly unified their minds, and Duke Negan made a clear statement at the assembly at will, and the king did not object.
What does this mean, it means that they have discussed it in private, maybe the other nobles have already gotten the news.
Some of the minor nobles who reluctantly joined this meeting would not object.
As a result, the attitude and treatment of the spacecraft were quickly determined.
Soon after, a group of expert negotiators was formed, and the members of the envoy group, with the exception of a court earl as a spokesman, were made up of elites from all walks of life in Rune.
As for the other nobles, in this case, they know their aristocratic nature very well, and they dare not participate in it at all, for fear of causing any trouble, and they also know their own level of knowledge, and it is difficult for them to participate in this matter.
As for the other nobles who had the ability, they could not join the mission for their own safety.
Soon after the formation of the Emissary Corps, all the prophecies and observations about the spaceship were handed over to the members of the Emissary Corps.
They will have half a day to analyze the information and determine the angle of the negotiation, and they will not need to worry about the communication channels.
Naturally, there are seals in the treasury of the Kingdom of Rune that have this ability, and even if they don't, they are found in the Church's collection.
And the major churches are willing to leave this matter to the kingdom of Rune.
After all, if you do it well, everyone will benefit, and if you don't do it well, it will be the Rune Kingdom that is to blame.
Even the members of the Church sent by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the God of Steam and Machines, have taken up residence in Beckland, waiting for the outcome of this matter, and they have even contacted the official Rune so that they can also provide some small help in this matter.
Soon, the envoys set off like this, and came to the closest thing to the spaceship in Beckland.
The head of the court count holds a seal in his hand, which is a combination of the characteristics of a chanter, a listener, and a mechanical expert, and the effect is that it can send or receive messages to a specific target.
As for the price of using seals, for the next six months, some inexplicable voices will be heard randomly, and if these voices cannot be isolated, even extraordinary people will quickly go crazy and lose control.
However, as the court earl trusted by George III, after this matter is over, he can naturally be properly protected, but in half a year, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to move freely.
At this time, in the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, Chu Li was using the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle to observe most of the intelligence and information in this world, and some secret existences or treasures were constantly recorded by Chu Li.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in Chu Li's ears: "I'm sorry to contact you in this way, your Excellency, we are an official envoy sent by the Kingdom of Rune, specially to communicate with you......"
This is an invitation, hoping that Chu Li can send personnel to communicate and communicate with the envoy group of the Kingdom of Rune.
In this regard, Chu Li thought about it for a while, and Guo Duan activated the power of the core gem of the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, the Void Lawgiver, and directly teleported those envoy groups to the inside of the Thousand Realms One Vehicle.
With the core gem of the Lawgiver of the Sky as a protection, the Thousand Realms One Ship naturally has the ability to teleport without isolating the space, and at the same time has the ability to teleport others, if it is blessed by Qi Tengyi's magic, even the Chaos Demons in the subspace will not be able to locate this spaceship.
The sudden disappearance of the emissaries caused the official head of Rune to panic a little, but he soon received news from the court count that they had been invited by the ship's owner to board the ship, telling him not to worry.
This relieved the person in charge, at least, the matter got off to a good start.
