Chapter 127: The Oil Guy
Having officially taken over the burden from Killiman, there are still many things to prepare for the future.
As he had planned, he first got a bail for the oil guys on Cologne, and then fished out the former warband leader of the Mantis Warriors.
These actions were all approved by Killiman.
After a new official takes office, if he wants to quickly establish his prestige, it is a very effective political means to give favors to those who are at fault.
Sure enough, the oil guy who was released on bail thanked Wei Mu and expressed his full support for his next action against the maelstrom.
Having a Forge World open to supplies, and even being able to mobilize the Titans stationed on it, is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing.
However, as a price, the Inquisition took away the banned technologies that had been discovered, as well as many of the research results of the oil guys, and more than half of the original underground treasure trove of Cologne was removed.
It's a little bit unsatisfying.
Wei Mu also tried to fight with the inquisitors for this reason.
In the future, these things will definitely come in handy.
What's more, basically every casting world will have some forbidden technology, as if it has become a convention, it is better to just turn a blind eye and just fool the past.
In other words - how about selling me someone a face.
But his face seemed to be almost on fire, and the inquisitor never let go.
If you can't find it, then forget it.
Now the situation is that the problem of Cologne has been brought to the fore.
If this is left alone, it will become a typical case, and the activities of the oil guys who violate the taboo will definitely become more rampant, and there may be how many Ronin will appear at that time.
No way, this is also the responsibility of others, it's not something that you can mess around casually with your big face.
There are some things, there are no four or two weights if you don't go on the scale, but once you get on the scale, you can't beat a thousand catties, that's what you say.
The failure to pursue further accountability in this regard is already the result of a significant concession on the part of the judges.
"Well, then." Wei Mu sighed helplessly, "When I came back, in addition to taking the old mantis Hesen. In addition to bringing it with Neotra, she also brought me some probationary judges, and I wanted as many as I wanted. β
"What do you want them to do?" The female inquisitor named Quinn was immediately alarmed, "Don't think about pulling the mountain. β
In addition to appointing Dante, the leader of the Holy Blood Angels, as the regent of the dark side of the empire, this is the second time that Killiman has appointed such an important official position, and the power he holds in his hands is somewhat disturbing.
After all, the Maelstrom region has already been out of Huron's business.
And she found that this kid's performance was a little floating, revealing an unreliable aura all over his body.
"I'm a big-headed ghost!" Wei Mu shouted, "There is a major operation in the Maelstrom region soon, and the major empires and worlds in the region need to be properly rectified. β
The empire is too large for the High Lords of Terra to control.
They had no time to care about how the planets were ruled, as long as the planets didn't rebel and paid their tithes on time, plus the locals were willing to cooperate when they sent the messengers below.
That's enough.
In other words, as long as you don't step on these thunders above, the governors of the star region are basically earth-emperor-like existences, and they can lead the group of nobles around them to do whatever they want.
You don't have to think about it to know how many resources that should have belonged to the empire are sucked by these parasites in such a relaxed environment, and valuable wealth is resold on the black market, and some even fall into the hands of the enemy.
As for the local people, as long as they are not starved to death, they have to thank the emperor for his blessing.
When Wei Mu was on the front line to eliminate the harm of the galaxy, he didn't want these land snakes to secretly work for him in the back, and he had to spend effort to clean up well.
He also did not expect the results of the inventory to last long, because corruption would always breed, as long as it could be maintained until he overthrew King Huron.
"If that's the case, we'll do everything we can to help." Quinn nodded.
She didn't dare to make promises, because there was always a shortage of people.
Soon after, the Inquisitors left Cologne with a large pile of dangerous goods.
Only the freshly released oil guys, with sad faces, were left standing in groups in the wind on the tarmac, their thoughts disorganized.
"Don't worry, there's going to be oil, there's going to be a toaster." Wei Mu could only comfort this.
"But that's what we've been working on for centuries, my lord." A mechanical priest sighed.
For these innocent people, Ronin's betrayal was nothing short of unjustified.
The small treasury that had been saved for a long time was emptied, and not many people could easily let go.
"At least those things will still be used by the Empire." Wei Mu tried to say.
If you think about it, if these things are snatched by traitors, you will suddenly feel that it is not so bad to be taken away by the inquisition.
"I hope so." The oil guy's words were filled with uncontrollable sadness.
It is good to be loyal to the Empire, of course, but they also want to explore the truth of the universe, to open the way for the future for humanity, and to engrave their names in the monuments of civilization and progress.
In addition, if the traitors dare to rob, they will at least have a chance to fight back.
"Later, when you steal Blackstone Technology from the space necromancer, you have to work hard and learn as much as you can."
Seeing that his comfort had no effect, Wei Mu could only change the topic.
Hearing this, the eyes of the oil guys suddenly brightened again.
It's a technique for manipulating the power of subspace.
If they can master it, it will bring endless benefits to the empire, and it will definitely be a great achievement.
Even more bluntly, as long as they can do this thing, their lives are worth it.
"We have to be ready for this!"
AndrΓ© also used this to encourage his subordinates to forget about the previous unpleasantness and focus on the next business.
"That's right, my lord, I seem to have seen a note on Blackstone's technology somewhere, so I'm going back and looking for it." A sage spoke.
"I went to contact my former mentor, who was working on this topic." Another sage followed.
"I have a friend who works on Mars who is an expert in this area, and if he can come over, he will definitely be of great help."
The others also spoke, and the original sluggish mood was swept away.
At this moment, he can't fix Wei Mu.
He could imagine what was going to happen next - the news of the opportunity to parse Blackstone Technology was spread, and a whole bunch of crazy oil guys were attracted to it, and they would not hesitate to brave the big rift to come and find out.
It's a good thing to be able to gather talent, but the problem is that it's not a peaceful time.
The opening of the Great Rift has made the already dangerous subspace voyage even more unpredictable.
Add to that all sorts of natural disasters, pirates, traitors, and aliens
The sages of the Mecha Sect are the treasures of the Empire, and their technology and wisdom are worth even a million masters.
If this is lost in batches on the way, the sin of Wei Mu will be great.
So he hurriedly stopped the excited oil guys: "You guys wait, this matter has to be discussed again." β
