Verse 590 - The one who divides the cake
Like all the members of the security team and the maid team, Dundalt also has a string of his own tags, two thumb-sized black steel plates engraved with the owner's name, date of birth, blood type and unique number, and the embedded spell circle is also imprinted with each person's different mental power fluctuations.
Many holders like to refer to this type of identity pendant as a "dog tag", and the wearer is without exception loyal to the dragon knight Lord Morin, the Li family sisters and the loyal dogs of Lord Qi Fei, in fact, these "dog tags" may save their lives at a critical moment.
The archsteward looked at the chain in Dundot's hand for some reason, and his eyes were soon involuntarily attracted by the two hanging cards swaying from side to side, as if he wanted to try to read the words on the two black steel plates.
Gradually, his eyes began to blur
I don't know how long it took, but the chief steward suddenly had a stirring spirit and regained consciousness, only to find that the dangling tag and the young man in front of him were gone.
What just happened?
Looking around blankly, he was suddenly horrified to find that the short sword that pierced through the shoulder blades on his shoulder was gone, and the front and back wounds had been bandaged, and there was still a slight tingling sensation reminding him.
It's not a dream.
I barely turned my head, only to find that the sky outside the window had completely darkened, as if time had passed in an instant, from day to night.
"Lord Dundot, you, what have you done to me?"
The chief steward gradually regained the vaguely recalled memories, and immediately shuddered.
"Hehe, hehehe! It's your dinner!"
After Dundot, who was sharing dinner with his lover, threw over a piece of jerky, all that was left was endless sneering-
In the heavily guarded Ranglin City Lord's Mansion, Her Royal Highness Mo Dai, the regent of the Silan Empire, paced back and forth with her brows locked.
"Sister, you walk around, it makes me dizzy. β
Coming from Changguan City to Ranglin City to avoid the coalition troops, Her Royal Highness Mei Wei, the Seventh Princess, who had not left, stared at the eldest sister's steps for a long time, and then realized that her neck was already sour.
"Then you don't want to go to school, if you become rude and uneducated in the future, be careful that no one wants it when you grow up. β
Her Highness Mordai snorted. When he came over and tried to twist his sister's ear, he immediately screamed in fright, and ran away with his skirt and legs.
The sister didn't know what it was like to be sad, looking at the cheerful appearance of the seventh sister, the eldest princess felt bitter in her heart.
There was a time when she was so naΓ―ve and carefree, but now, for the sake of the Slan royal family and the people of the entire empire, she had to take on the huge pressure and responsibility that did not belong to her.
"The eldest sister is beating! The eldest sister is beating someone! Help!ah!~"
Mei Wei, who was running happily, screamed again and bumped into a person solidly.
"Orch! It hurts me so much!"
The Seventh Princess Mei Wei, who was almost about to wrinkle her little face with pain, relentlessly pounded the third prince Olqi, but her pink and tender fists landed on the hard and thick exquisite fish scale armor, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making transaction that hurts the enemy zero and loses eight hundred self-losses.
"Mei Wei, don't your fists hurt?"
The corners of the third prince's mouth grinned, and he let his sister perform the painless "Pegasus Meteor Fist" on him.
"Ahh
Mei Wei screamed again, found that her fist was already red and swollen, and whimpered: "Olch is a villain!"
Wiping away tears, I ran.
ββ
Moddy and Olch looked at each other. They all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
The Silan royal family is old and young, and the two youngest fifth princes and seventh princesses are still naΓ―ve and ignorant, and the four princes are plotting to rebel. At present, if you want to stabilize the country, you can only rely on the eldest princess, the second prince and the third prince, and their ability, vision, prestige and qualifications are all insufficient.
If it weren't for the arrangements made by His Majesty Cyril, the emperor who ran out of oil and lamps, Mo Dai might not have been able to secure the position of the eldest princess regent.
"Moddy! The ministers have arrived!"
Orch spoke again.
"Alright! Let's go!"
The eldest princess's expression became solemn. Forcing himself to calm down, as if facing the moment when his father had fallen under a strange spell and died again.
Although the identity of the owner of Dragoon is very simple and clear, it involves the royal family, the military, the arrogant alchemist team, and part of the business world. There is even a relationship line between the giant dragon clan Sky Dragon City, which also involves a wide range of sales channels and employment networks, and has now become one of the national components of the Silan Empire.
As an important addition to the Royal Dragoon Legion, the "Shenglong" Legion is a direct beneficiary of Dragoon's magic industry, and when this piece of unparalleled and delicious super cake loses the person holding the baking knife, many people will involuntarily want to move, not to mention speculators stirring up trouble in it, in order to get the most lucrative piece of the pie.
If the control is not good, it may be a new disaster for the Silan Empire, which is already suffering from a great injury.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the ministers who followed the royal family to Ranglin City gathered again, compared to the council hall in the Imperial Palace of Durland City, the hall was still a little too crowded, and the humming and whispering among the people was particularly loud.
Compared with withdrawing from the imperial capital of Delan City to Changguan City, and then transferring from Changguan City to Ranglin City for thousands of miles, the ministers who had been panicked were more energetic at this time, perhaps because the Silan Empire had killed the coalition forces of the countries and retreated one after another, or there was a big cake waiting for them to divide it wantonly.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Regent has arrived!"
The palace attendants drank clearly, and the main hall immediately fell silent, and the ministers returned to their respective offices one after another, standing in accordance with the four major sequences of military administration, finance, civil affairs, and legal affairs.
Moddy sat down in the only main seat in the hall, straightened her waist, glanced at everyone with an indifferent expression, and said loudly: "Since everyone is here, let's go straight to the topic!"
The unangry and majestic momentum of the eldest sister Mo Dai, who was more and more like her father, made the eyes of the third prince Orch, who was standing on the side, flicker, and still looked at the ministers in the hall silently.
"Your Highness, may I ask Lord Morin, how is the situation with the Li sisters, and Fei?"
The one who is most concerned about Dragoon Magic Industry is Dunlop, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has been fighting for a long time and the treasury is empty, so it is naturally in urgent need of tax filling, and Dragoon Magic Industry, which has a close relationship with the royal family and the military department, is also involved in the empire's taxes and treasury.
In particular, the huge wealth brought back by the dragon knight Morin from the Tessie Empire, even though it was the spoils of the looting of the Tessies, still made the Chancellor of the Exchequer excited, but he was not worried that as long as it was put into production and operation, it would soon return to the hungry treasury along with other taxes.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at her, Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent, who sat still and did not have any expression for the ministers to speculate, said: "Their situation is very stable at present, and there will be good news soon, so you don't need to worry. β
"Your Highness, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, if the Dragoon Magic Industry is just an ordinary chamber of commerce, it would be fine, but it is related to the military strength and economy of our Silan Empire, please make arrangements as soon as possible. β
Home Secretary Harrison stepped forward and said, his words echoed by many ministers.
"Minister Harrison is right, if no one is in charge of it, Dragoon Magic Industry will most likely affect the 'Ascending Dragon' Legion and the Imperial armament. β
"You must choose a suitable person to take charge, otherwise there will be chaos. β
"Those proud alchemists and Qiu Ba of the smelting department are not convinced, this really has to be carefully considered, and only talented people can take charge. β
The hall was once again boiling with all kinds of arguments.
Everyone remembers that the first wing of the "Shenglong" Legion raided Changguan City, turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop, not only defeating the invading coalition forces, but also relieving the danger of the collapse of the Silan Empire.
Now that the rebels have not changed, and the enemy country is still eyeing each other, no one can imagine what kind of terrible consequences will be caused by dropping the chain at a critical moment, the only thing that is certain is that the current good situation will be shaken.
Listening to the different opinions of the ministers, the corners of Mo Dai's mouth were slightly raised, and in the eyes of very few people, he could tell that it was a sneer full of mockery.
Don't look at these people who say that they are loyal and patriotic, and they are high-sounding, but as if they have reached some kind of consensus, they tacitly keep silent about the huge interests behind them.
Dragoon, which has many monopoly advantages, is not comparable to ordinary private chambers of commerce, and a little leakage from his fingers is enough to make anyone rich.
"I propose that the Dragoon Magic Industry be owned by the royal family, and that a certain prince will be in charge and managed by a certain prince. β
Looking at the various expressions of the officials, Lord Adelaide, the Minister of Military Affairs, suddenly spoke, and his loud voice overwhelmed all voices.
This is an old-fashioned and serious building, which can not only avoid the leakage of militaristic heavy weapons, but also fill the financial holes of the empire, and the royal family membership is noble enough to convince the public.
"No way!"
A second-rank minister stood up, and he said, "Don't forget, the core part of 'Ascending Dragon' comes from the Alchemist and Sky Dragon City, and the two parties only recognize certain people, but not anyone's account will be sold!"
"Ms. Fei's teacher is a maker, and the tempers of these alchemists are more stubborn than the other, smelly and hard, and if you can't get them to agree, you can't command them at all. β
"The dragons are even more dead-eyed, and until now, they haven't seen anyone they approve of. β
"Lord Adelaide's mention must be able to convince Campbell of the Smelting Department, but it is not enough at all. β
Aside from the major shareholders, the ministers found that no matter who wanted to take over Dragoon, there would be three mountains without exception-
