Volume VII Inca Frontier 0408 Ordinary Old Lands
As soon as I walked out of the Observation Office, I noticed that a large compound had been built next door, and the sign of the Coordination Office of the Imperial Ministry of Commerce in Kela was hung outside.
People come and go at the gate, and people of all ethnic groups in the Xixuan Federation are constantly coming and going.
Welling was stunned.
Tang Songcao was also very emotional:
"Brother Welling, you see, your plans back then were all realized by the empire, and the livelihoods of those remnant tribes around Kela were quite difficult.
Now with the intervention of the empire, and the cooperation with Kela, each has what he wants, and each takes what he needs, which is of great help to the people's livelihood. ”
Welling was also very happy that his idea was realized.
Just as the four of them were about to move on, two men with obvious characteristics of the Xixuan people walked out of the coordination office.
One of them, who looked to be over fifty years old, with a thin face and a little gray temples, looked at Welling steadily, then at the palace guard, and walked over hesitantly.
Welling looked at the man with a smile and nodded and smiled:
"Isn't this Mr. Cyril, who has super actuarial ability, and you are going to the coordination office?"
Cyril smiled, walked in front of a few people, and learned imperial etiquette, bowed his hand:
"It's really Mr. Welling, I'm confused, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I'm a lot older, and you're still so youthful!"
Welling nodded, looking at the brown-skinned young man beside Cyril:
"This is the kid back then, your nephew?"
"yes, yes, they're all adults.
By the way, is the gentleman still working in Xihai Metal Trading? ”
Tang Songcao laughed:
"Cyril, you were blind back then, Welling has never been a businessman, he is the overseer of the Imperial Inspectorate."
Cyril was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"I'll just say, Mr. back then's overall view was really not like a person engaged in a single business, but no matter what, what Mr. said back then was realized one by one.
The population of the tribe has increased a lot, and everyone's life is better, and we have gained more benefits from the material exchange with the empire and the federation, which is the credit of the sir. ”
Tang Songcao nodded:
"Yes, Cyril, if it weren't for Welling's advice to increase the commercial exchanges between the empire and Kerala, life would have been much more difficult for all the tribes around Keral."
Welling waved his hand and interrupted Tang Songcao's boasting with a smile:
"These are the decisions of the Empire, we are just doing our own things, the current stability and peaceful development are very good for each other, your tribe has achieved good development, the empire has obtained border peace, the best of both worlds.
Therefore, if there is anything that is detrimental to the overall situation, Mr. Cyril should communicate with the Warlocks of the Observatory a lot and keep the information exchanged, which is the best reward for the Empire and the Federation. ”
Cyril and Tang Songcao glanced at each other and laughed heartily:
"The federation is not reliable, the size of the state is too small, and if the tribe wants to be safe for a long time, we still have to rely on the empire, so I have been communicating with Lord Tang."
Welling smiled knowingly.
Tang Songcao finally understood Welling's hard work back then.
Is the focus of the Military Observation Office necessarily on the military?
The four said goodbye to Cyril and his nephew and headed towards the central city.
Passing by the place where the night battle in the streets and alleys was fought that year, Tang Songcao introduced the situation of the night to Yuanbao:
"Yuanbao, don't you know, at that time, when the ambusher attacked in the first wave, he said that I would use your master as a shield, but my spell speed was so slow that it was too thrilling......"
Immersive, Yuanbao naturally feels that the master is mighty, and the palace sister is strong!
Welling's mind was thinking of Du Gao's mysterious bodyguard, whose ability was somewhat similar to Li Lingyou's father.
"Brother Tang, has Du Gao honestly submitted information over the years?
Has the information submitted been verified to be false and misleading? ”
"Haha, that's not true, it's just that the information is too trivial, I asked him to report it every three days."
Welling nodded:
"Well, that's right, it's a small thing to report every day.
Let's go, I'll continue to be this wicked person, and give you a follow-up strength, so that he doesn't have any fancy thoughts. ”
Throwing out the information, Welling's eyes flashed, and the spiritual power enveloped most of the city, and a spiritual power had successfully found Du Gao.
Soon after, several people appeared at the ornate gate of Arambel.
Mr. Du Gao, who has a bald head, thick eyebrows, triangular eyes, a square face, and a large nose, also looks a little older, and personally waits at the gate, bowing and waiting.
As soon as he saw Wei Ling and Shougong as he did back then, he couldn't help but subconsciously stroked his right arm with his left hand:
"Mr. Welling, the palace girl, welcome again, Lord Tang, you are a rare guest."
Welling laughed:
"Haha, this is not business hours, Mr. Dugao is too polite......
Hey, Mr. Dugo has become a beginner warlock?
It's the first time I've seen a breakthrough at your age. ”
Du Gao instantly felt a strong spiritual force, passed through his mind body and sea of consciousness, and took a look.
In the past, he was not a warlock, he only knew the horror of Welling, but most of them stayed in the way of his miraculous skills, but now he has just walked towards the path of a beginner warlock, and he is a wisdom warlock who gains vision, smell, and hearing.
Du Gao was drenched in cold sweat in an instant, trembling all over, and bowed down and didn't dare to move:
"Yes...... Yes...... The gentleman is discerning. ”
Welling didn't embarrass him too much, his eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly:
"Very good, I heard Master Tang say that you have been conscientious and conscientious over the years, and you can be regarded as hard work without merit. I've looked at your Warlock abilities, and it's a very useful ability. ”
Recognized by Welling, Dugo was immediately relieved:
"Guys, please sit upstairs and let me give you a good report."
"No, we're just passing through.
By the way, I used to joke that I installed a spirit bomb in your head, haha, that's to scare you, and my ability was not enough at the time, but now that I'm in the late stage of the advanced stage, it's okay. ”
Du Gao's heart hung again.
Then he heard a message that made him fall into an ice cellar:
"But mum, the spells like spirit bombs and life talismans are really not friendly enough, I left a telekinetic Trojan horse and a spiritual virus on your side, as long as you don't have thoughts that harm the empire, everyone will be fine."
The bald triangular eyes showed a pleading look.
Welling shook his head slightly:
"Don't worry so much, this spell won't have any effect on you at all, and you won't notice it.
By the way, I just packed you with some of the usual methods of the Imperial Wisdom Warlock's cultivation, hoping it will be helpful to you in your subsequent practice. ”
Du Gao received a big information package in an instant, it was Welling who summarized the cultivation methods of some wise warlocks, and these common senses came from the public information of the Jixia School Palace, but after Welling's instant screening of the turnips, it was also a good guidance.
Dugo couldn't help but be overjoyed.
With his shrewdness, he knew that he had been walking between the Empire and the Federation for so many years, and he knew that it was a dead end for him to completely turn the tide to the side.
If Welling wants to deal with himself, he has no way to escape, but if he hurts, he can be regarded as a comfort.
"Sir, Lord Tang, please rest assured, once there is any wind and grass in this market, I will definitely inform Lord Tang as soon as possible."
In the end, a few people still didn't go in with Du Gao, and after a short exchange, a few people continued to wander.
Halfway through, I passed by the tavern, the layout and appearance of the tavern were still the same, but the scruffy owner was getting older.
I can't help but sigh when I think of a few people discussing there back then, but there are rags on the wine table next to me who are pretending to sleep there.
Finally, I arrived at the small inn where I stayed more than ten years ago.
Back then, Xiao Duhuo used to live here.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, the pattern of the two small buildings was still the same, and the chubby proprietress looked like she was working too fast.
As soon as she saw a guest, she hurriedly greeted her, and looked at the person who came and felt a little familiar, but Lord Tang of the Imperial Observation Office was a well-known person in Kera State, and she recognized it at once:
"Oh, Lord Tang, you are a distinguished guest, do you have any friends who want to stay?"
The proprietress was a little strange, there were more houses in the Observation Office, how could Lord Tang come over to arrange guests.
Shougong smiled and unfolded his hat:
"Boss, remember us, I don't live in the store today, I came here to ask you to roast potatoes and stewed beef, as well as tomato soup."
The image of Shougong is unique in ten thousand, and the proprietress immediately has an impression:
"Haha, it's you, Imperial Xiao's friend, it turns out that he is also a friend of Lord Tang, please come in, please come in, I will definitely make dinner with the greatest enthusiasm."
Tang Songcao nodded:
"Okay, prepare a lot of barbecue and wine, and a few more people will come later!"
Immediately, Shougong threw a heavy cloth bag to the proprietress .
When the proprietress saw it, she was a little shocked:
"Oh my God, where do you need so much, one or two are enough."
Shougong shook his head:
"Boss, you just accept it, this thing is useless in the empire, it is only valuable to you, if we come back in the future, we will not give money."
The proprietress thanked her and went to work.
Shougong has a good memory, and when he went out, he brought the bag of gold coins that were thrown in the vehicle.
That was all the gold coins that Li Lingyou exchanged for the chips given by Alan Bell back then, and after catching the last tram at night.
That night, after a group of people were drunk, they returned to the observation office to rest.
Early the next morning, Welling took the ingots and flew to the Abyss of Sighs, which was not far from Kerabang.
As for the black market in Midway Valley, it is estimated that it should not have been as prosperous as it was in the past few years.
With the formal means of commerce, the Commonwealth and the Empire are currently in such a peaceful stage that the black market business must have failed.
Based on this understanding, Welling and Shougong were not interested in going over to take a look, and flew directly to the Abyss of Sighs.
It didn't take long for the Abyss of Sighs to be below.
Countless snow-capped mountains enclose the valley, and the snow turns into trickles, forming streams that converge towards the cracks in the center of the basin.
This basin of several hundred square kilometers was originally overgrown with countless towering trees, all of which were inclined in the direction of the crack, as if on both sides of the crack, millions of soldiers stood and bowed to the king in the crack.
Because of the fighting method of Uguwa and Yang Zhenlan back then, coupled with the Hezi devouring Uguwa, it caused the energy of the Source Spirit World to overflow and damage a large number of big trees, and now I can't see that strange feature.
Shougong still flew in through the narrow gap as he did last time.
The air flow of the earth crack was very disordered, and she controlled the vehicle, as if on the dark and dreary sky, a small knife cut open, and from the knife edge floated sideways.
Yuan Bao lay on the side of the porthole, illuminated by the searchlight of the vehicle, looking at the wreckage of all kinds of crashed vehicles piled up on the ground, and constantly applauded the fine control of the palace.
Shougong followed his memory and flew towards the location of the lake.
Soon, a deeper black appeared below.
The lake arrived.
Before the vehicle landed in the dimly lit square, Welling's powerful spiritual power had already infiltrated the entire Doomsday Fortress.
Soon, he spotted the familiar mental fluctuations, cold and sharp.
But the other party obviously found out that it was Welling instantly, and immediately sent a cheerful message:
"Haha, little Welling, I knew you would be able to return soon!"
The lights in the small square came on one by one.
Immediately, the gate of the Doomsday Fortress opened halfway open.
As soon as the three of them walked away, Yuan Bao looked left and right, and saw a beautiful girl appear next to the three of them.
To be precise, it was a girl who looked similar in age to Yuanbao, fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate facial features, fair skin, chestnut hair, black eyes, and a white robe with light gold flowers.
Such a beautiful and delicate peer made Yuan Bao a little daze all of a sudden.
"Little brat, what to see!"
An old voice sounded in the ingots of the sea of knowledge.
Yuanbao is a spirit, and the master and the sister who guard the palace have suffered a lot in the hands of this senior.
All three bowed:
"I've seen Senior Yang!"
"Haha, Welling, you finally came out of the Source Spirit World, when did you come out?
Hey, it's amazing, they're all high-level late-stage Grand Karcists! ”
Welling smiled and threw Yang Zhenlan an information packet about the situation of leaving the Source Spirit World last year and then leading the team to the Endless Ocean.
"Okay, okay, I've always been optimistic about you, you're the representative of our wisdom warlocks, and I'm not mistaken! Did you adopt this kitten? ”
Welling smiled wryly:
"Senior, this is ingot, my student."
Yuan Bao also looked at Yang Jilan aggrievedly, and was said to be a kitten, which was unprecedented.
Yang Qilan nodded, tilted her head and looked at the ingots:
"This kid, when he transformed, why didn't he make it pretty, what is good about being like your master? It's not ugly, but it's not handsome enough. ”
Yuan Bao was a little discouraged:
"Senior, I'm a clouded leopard, why do you want to be so good-looking, I think Master's image is very good.
The image of the predecessors is too pretty, and it is on par with the sister of the palace, there is no one in ten thousand, it is the first time I have seen it in so many years. ”
Yang Jilan is overjoyed:
"Haha, this kid, what nonsense is telling the truth...... Well, you're still good, you're very good at refining your body and transforming your shape, and you're also quite skilled in refining your spiritual power!
Well, Welling's ability to accept apprentices is as strong as mine! ”
Shougong couldn't help but sigh.
Welling couldn't help but smile and shake his head:
"The seniors praised it falsely, Mimeng is really good, and my guidance to the disciples is limited.
At present, I myself have encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation, so I have come to see you, and by the way, I would like to hear your opinion.
By the way, Yuanbao, don't you like to eat that Joertan spirit fish very much, and Shougong will catch a few spirit fish back, and I will ask my predecessors about the cultivation of wisdom warlocks. ”
So, both Yuan Bao and Shougong happily went to the vehicle to move those water tanks, and tried to find a way to "electrify" the fish.
