"Lord Duke, do you think the nautical industry has a promising future?" asked the handsome young man in the tuxedo.

He could sense that Solomon was in a good mood right now, and it seemed to have something to do with the other young man he had just sent away.

He was even very jealous of Jackson who had just left, the other party was about the same age as him, but the foundation was much harder than him, and it took him a lot of effort to get the position of the preparatory secretary, but Jackson was willing to make Duke Solomon willing to vouch for him because of the relationship with the uncle.

This is the difference between people, and how fragile it is in the face of the fact that some parliamentarians claim that all men are created equal.

No one is created equal, on the contrary, one is born to accept inequality, whether you want it or not.

It's like this tuxedo secretary is jealous of Jackson, but how many young people his age are jealous of him?

But for the temporary secretary that the central bank had prepared for Solomon every time, his eyes were always upward, not downward, and he would not take any amount of redness below to his heart.

Like now, what he cares about most is whether he can take the opportunity to talk a few words when Duke Solomon is in a better mood, so as to leave a deep impression on his heart, which will help him further change his identity and change from a temporary secretary prepared by the central bank to a real person next to the duke.

So after he saw Jackson leave, he was racking his brains to think of a topic, which could catch up with Duke Solomon's current emotions, not make him unhappy abruptly, and continue his current interest, but also have enough connotation to give himself a chance to perform, so that he could appear more than just a tea and water. It's something that can be used, and it can think.

This line is difficult to grasp, because most of the time, the big people don't want a temporary secretary like him to behave like this, and a bad one will be self-defeating and cross a line that should not be crossed.

But the tuxedo still had the audacity to try it. Because he feels that the opportunity is rare, he has several advantages that he usually does not have.

Solomon had only helped young men of his age, and presumably would have been more tolerant of such transgressions.

"Well, there will be a period of rapid development, depending on our trade relationship with the High Elves, but in the long run, the development of navigation will not be our continued motivation, and our development will be more of a heterogeneous plane. Solomon said casually.

He was in a good mood right now, so he said a few words to the tuxedo.

The seafaring of this plane and the consequent shipbuilding industry were under the land trade led by the ambergris trade. In a period of time, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, it will be affected and greatly developed, just like the emergence of the magic sailboat and the simplified steam-powered sailboat, which were developed to adapt to ocean navigation.

The Magic Sailboat is more advanced and comfortable, and will be more enhanced in both life and armament, while the steam-powered Sailboat has always been a trend of cheap alternative to mechanical technology after guiding the tide of magic technology, because coal is more readily available than Black Rock's

But. It won't be exactly like the Age of Discovery, when Solomon lived before.

Because there are many heterotopes here, both in terms of resource acquisition and plundering. The endless Alien Plane is the long-term future.

Another continent on the same plane, even if there are other continents that have not been discovered, are not the only choice in the face of the endless plane.

Solomon spent his efforts to break the ice with the help of the ambergris trade, and the land trade he guided was largely a calculation of the High Elves, who were hostile to Asturias in the first place. It is believed that the ongoing research on magic and plane teleportation are both disruptive to the plane.

Otherwise, even though the Emerald Continent is closed, Solomon doesn't have to break it.

But since you can't ignore it completely, it's better to find a way to influence it now than to become a problem in the future.

The temporary secretary did not know such a far-reaching reason, he just wrote down what Solomon said. The words he had painstakingly asked were still very appropriate.

It not only continues the matter before Jackson's departure, but also expands to the development of the industry, which seems to have a little depth, and also releases selfishness by the way, you must know that Lord Duke is the top person in the kingdom and even on the mainland, and his views on this industry that has just begun to develop are not only extremely authoritative, but also capable of influencing this industry.

This gives people an idea of the potential of the industry, at least better than asking others.

The trade in ambergris cream is only a special product in the view of tuxedos, and the navigation and shipbuilding industries developed by it are more vigorous, but how great is the potential, and after the tuxedo learned Solomon's opinion on this topic, whether it is looking for opportunities to invest, or partnering with others, or exchanging this news for other benefits, it is an opportunity to obtain wealth.

A pair of long, slender legs stepped on the charred dirt, and most of the bare skin was exposed to the air.

The long-legged owner, a woman with fiery red hair and purple eyes, walks past the site of an attacked village that has been reduced to ruins.

Keep walking, there are corpses everywhere.

This is Boyue City, one of the cities that inspired some nearby areas during the uprising and defense of Bofeng City two or three years ago.

In addition, the Apuro Empire has lost twice in the great war with the aliens, and it is currently relying on the support of the Matthew Church to form a confrontation with the Aurora again, and it is simply unable to conquer the rebels.

Cities like Boyue City later joined forces with Bofeng City to form a free alliance, and over the years, they have gained the opportunity to arm and develop by relying on alliances and mutual assistance, as well as doing business with another group of aliens who support Bofeng City.

However, even if the Apuro Empire was unable to carry out a large-scale crusade against the rebels, small incursions still occurred from time to time.

And it's not just the Apuro country that has committed this kind of atrocity, now that Nanfarmalik is chaotic enough, none of the Xi people, the Binfu Kingdom, and the Yaman Republic with the support of the Aurora people really hope that the Freedom Alliance can really be independent.

The Xi people are considered the best, at least there is no hostility on the surface, and if the atrocities in this village are their doing, the probability is the least, even if. It will not be done directly by the Xi army, but may be a mercenary group controlled by the Xi people.

It is also possible that the Binfu Kingdom once wanted to join the kingdom in a free alliance, but was refused, and later sent troops to attack, and only after being defeated did they take Huairou. It is not impossible to secretly instigate such atrocities.

Most likely, it is the Republic of Yaman, because the speaker who now rules the Republic of Yaman is now considered to be one of the reasons for Noriega's death in the first place, and the current lord of Bofeng City is Noriega's son Kehorin, who is also the leader of the Freedom Alliance.

That Speaker now has the support of the alien Aurora Kingdom, and it is not surprising if he instructs someone to commit such an atrocity in front of him, and it is not surprising that the rapid development of the Freedom Alliance will make him panic and find a way to destroy it. Anyway, as long as it is not accused.

Anyone who sees the ravaged village and tries to escape along the way, but in the end there is hardly a mouthful, will tremble, feel sad and sad.

However, the long-legged beauty's face was slightly excited and regretful, as if she had seen a lot of good ingredients being wasted, and seeing the beef noodles she wanted to eat the most being splashed on the ground.

"I could feel the pain and uneasiness of their deathbed, and although most of their souls were scattered, there were still a few soul fragments wandering. There was a lot of resentment in it. It's a pity that I can't dedicate myself to my mother. Otherwise, she would have liked it very much. The daughter of the Queen of Pain said with regret.

Collecting land, her eyes stayed in one place in the grass.

There seemed to be a corpse that moved, and when she got closer, she saw a delicate woman, covered in blood, propping herself up.

This is a mother-daughter pair with negative trauma. The mother was almost mortally injured in the process of escaping, but she still protected her young daughter under her body, and blocked the view of the thugs with her body, and struggled to protect her daughter with her life.

Now she tried to move her body, before her life was about to die. so that the daughter will not be oppressed by her corpse after death.

She must be full of pain, isn't she? What a delicious emotion.

Luna stared at the struggle of the lower beings with indescribable malice, and she stopped, but with no help in any way.

The mother's senses had become hazy when she was dying, and she might have sensed the presence of a third creature around her, but she couldn't even move, and she couldn't make a cry for help, not to mention that she and her daughter were watching a descendant of demons who were interested in pain and suffering.

Luna didn't torture herself, not because she was kind, but because she thought the natural pain that came naturally to the mother, when she realized that everything she had done was in vain, was more interesting than if she did it herself.

It was the pain that fate had given her, and the thought of this moistened somewhere in Luna's body.

The little girl's young life began to struggle to survive after her mother's death, but she was too young and powerless, and although her mother used her body to block the fatal knife when the mob had previously committed violence, the knife still stabbed her after passing through her mother's body.

The wound didn't close, it was bleeding all the time, and the smell of blood attracted some nearby animals.

The vultures in the sky, hovering over their heads in pairs, may have been a little jealous of Luna at first, but when the female succubus used a spell to keep the vultures from worrying, they circled lower and lower.

Eventually, after being probed, they proved that the prey below was an unusually weak creature, and immediately attacked.

The little girl was pecked and killed by the vultures, and her young life could not protect herself.

Her death and the process of her death were indescribably tragic, and if Astuas's master screenwriter Russell Ken had written a script for her, he would have won a lot of tears.

But this definitely does not include the female succubus who witnessed the whole process from beginning to end, and instead of going up to save and help at all, the more she looked at it, the wetter it became.

"It's wonderful, the bitter and tenacious struggle of life, the final irretrievable fall, the pain in the process is so moving, people can't help but be intoxicated and can't help but extricate themselves, this is really a good place, full of all kinds of pain caused by the turmoil. Luna took a few heavy breaths, as if feeling the pain of the mother and daughter just now.

But for the poor mother and daughter, for the village that endured the atrocities, for the corpses along the way.

This is the worst of times. (To be continued.) )
