Volume 1 Another World Chapter 254 Temptation
Xavi had never been so busy, and sometimes he even regretted why he had transformed Cobb County into what it is today.
Humphrey walked into Harvey's study with a thick stack of papers.
"Grandpa......" Humphrey said, placing the papers on the table, "Lord Sargon has sent someone to inquire about the magic train again, and this is the fourth time this month......
The title of Grandpa was set by Harvey himself, although Kobo County is now called a Duchy, but he still has no idea of being the emperor, but just made himself a duke.
Harvey put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his head and said, "It's not that I don't sell it to him, and now the Hidden Dragon Valley Industrial Bureau has no plan to build a magic train, so no one can make one more now." ”
Humphrey nodded and said: "That's what I told him, but what the city lord of Sargon meant, now there are more and more travelers and merchants from Chick City to the capital, and the magic trains that were originally assigned to him are simply not enough, and sometimes there will be a situation where tickets are hard to find, so he has to allow standing tickets to be sold, but in this case, the safety of passengers is difficult to guarantee......"
Harvey shook his head: "I can't help it, he is a city lord, can't this matter be solved?" Don't mention this matter again, I will promise him at most, as long as the Industrial Bureau has a plan to increase it, I will leave him one first." ”
Humphrey took out a small notebook and scribbled a few sentences.
Harvey asked, "Is there any urgent correspondence to deal with?"
Humphrey said: "Yes, the above three documents are all red urgent, grandpa, you better take a look at it quickly." ”
Harvey nodded as he picked up the documents in turn, the first was the "Request for the Installation of Demonic Weapons", the second was the "Feasibility Report and Application on the Addition of Demonic Kinetics to the Veran Academy", and the third was the "Application of the Prison Chamber of Commerce to Propose a Reduction of the Tariff on Demonic Beast Products".
Harvey opened the first one and looked at it, then started to write a comment, and then handed the document back to Humphrey and said: "This batch of magic weapons is only enough to carry three million people, tell the General Armament Department that this batch of weapons should be divided into four parts, one percent will be left in Wilan City, and the other ninety percent will be divided equally, and it will be transported to the three cities of Nilin' Kewei and Chik by portal for installation, and the border will be garrisoned first." ”
"Yes, Grandpa. Humphrey noted again.
Harvey opened the second one again, looked at it, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is Cornell's idea?"
Humphrey said: "Grandpa, I asked Cornell, and he said that this is what the lord in the valley meant, so he didn't dare to hesitate, so he used the red expedited document." ”
Harvey nodded, and immediately gave instructions back to Humphrey: "Tell Cornell that this discipline is very important, and when recruiting students, it must be closely examined, at least three generations must be checked, and all students related to the empire are not allowed to study." ”
Humphrey wrote a few more words in his notebook.
"Also, as a new discipline, this magic source dynamics will set up a scholarship, as for the amount, let Cornell decide it himself, and the money will be provided by the Ministry of Finance. ”
"Yes, Grandpa. ”
Harvey picked up the third one and looked at it, and was angry while looking at it: "Freya is really a profiteer, how much benefit has the Gadogan Free Federation made from us?
With that, Harvey threw the third document into Humphrey's arms: "Tell her that there is no door!"
Humphrey nodded, and was about to start writing, when Harvey suddenly remembered something: "Wait...... Warcraft Products...... I almost forgot a big incident, Humphrey, a while ago it was said that there was a case about the smuggling of Warcraft products, and then did you catch someone?"
Humphrey said: "Caught it, the main culprits are all from the prison world, and the leader of them is from the Gadogan's own federation." ”
"Haha!" Harvey laughed a few times and said, "The Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Hidden Dragon Valley has just promulgated the "Detailed Rules for Trade between the Two Realms", which explicitly prohibits all smuggling, and now she has hit the muzzle of the gun, go and tell Freya, just say that this leader is now in my hands, and I can not pursue the smuggling, but the tariff will be increased by at least 0.1, and I want to talk to her face to face about this matter, well, let's just say it." ”
"Yes, Grandpa. ”
Harvey was proud, don't underestimate the 0.1 tariff, it is definitely a lot of money for a large-scale import of Warcraft products.
Just as Harvey was immersed in the string of astronomical numbers, the door opened again, and a guard walked in with a note.
"Grandpa!" the guard handed the note to Harvey, "Someone from the Hidden Dragon Valley has sent a message, and the little ones don't dare to slack off......"
Harvey nodded and said, "That's right......"
On the note, a line was written: Come back to the palace and see me.
Harvey stood up, gave Humphrey a few words, and hurried out of the study and headed straight for the portal.
It didn't take much effort for Harvey to come to the main hall of the Guiren Palace, where Liu Fu was already waiting.
"Grandpa Harvey, the Holy Lord is invited, please come with me. ”
The two walked through the main hall and went straight to the Imperial Pavilion of the harem, which was Liu Xuan's study.
Harvey knelt down when he entered the door and said, "The Holy Lord has summoned, the villain is late, please forgive the Holy Lord!"
Liu Xuan sat on the bed, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry on his face, but he was drinking wine without a match.
"I don't like to go around in circles, Harvey, and I ask you, what will you do if I attack the Empire?"
Harvey was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that the Holy Lord had done something to the Empire? According to intelligence, a few days ago, Liu Xuan only brought a maid and a slave, and he destroyed the foundation of the Havana Orc Empire for thousands of years, and the Orc Clan was wiped out......
"This ......," Harvey was frightened for a moment.
Liu Xuan was not in a hurry, but he didn't rush when he looked at him.
Harvey stabilized his mind, and several thoughts quickly flashed in his heart, but they were all denied by him, and after thinking about it, Harvey said, "Why does the Holy Lord want to attack the empire?"
Liu Xuan said: "I knew I had this question, but before that, let me ask you something, do you know Bart's whereabouts?"
Harvey shook his head and said, "I don't know ......."
Liu Xuan said: "I know that now Bart is trapped in Owen City, his body has been destroyed, and only a little Ming Spirit remains, which is actually no different from death. ”
"Huh?" Harvey really didn't know this information, one was that the political affairs of the Principality of Kobo were too heavy, although he knew that Bart was missing, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because everyone knew about Bart's situation, and there were too few people who could hurt him. But now that Liu Xuan said this, he was afraid that he already had the tongue to attack the empire, and Harvey suddenly felt in his heart, and he already knew that it was not good.
Liu Xuan continued: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to scruple to speak, I know that you are openly against the empire and become an independent principality, but there must be something strange in the secret, but the king of the empire deliberately asked you to do this, and then come to confuse the dark church?"
Harvey's face was dead, and it seemed that his heart had already been seen through.
"This ...... Hey......" Harvey sighed heavily, "Holy Lord, since you know everything, I don't have to hide it anymore, it's indeed as you say......"
Liu Xuan nodded: "Well, it's not bad to be honest, I don't mean to blame you, you don't have to be afraid." I want to use Bart's matter to unify Elam, force out the people behind the dark church, the so-called attack on the empire, is just an illusion, if this mortal king is interested, why should I move him? I have a plan for this army, you just need to do what you want, so I don't bother to care about you and the empire. ”
Harvey's back was covered with cold sweat, although Liu Xuan's tone was extremely calm, but every word was like an arrow from the string, not leaving his throat, and his answer was slightly wrong, for fear that he would die on the spot.
"Holy Lord, I understand, I understand, I will go and persuade the Lord of the Empire, if he knows the face, he will respect the will of the Holy Lord, or he may have a fate, if he does not know the face, I will find another way to ......"
The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth raised slightly: "Harvey, do you know why I kept you until now?"
Harvey swallowed his saliva, his heart almost stopped, he shook his head and said, "No...... I don't know ......."
Liu Xuan put down the wine glass, slowly walked to Harvey and bowed his head and said: "First, for the sake of Lili's girl's face, second, you are smart enough, I don't care who is in charge of this mortal empire, in short, you have to be obedient, I can make Gulmo the king of the elves, Kane can be the king of Thor, and I can also make you the lord of the empire." I told you a long time ago, don't be foolish, you should have made a choice, but from what you said just now, you still have a loyalty to the empire. Harvey, what is the beauty of your principality of Kobo now, and why do you want to do such a stupid thing?"
Harvey almost ran out of breath, but his mind was spinning fast, and finally he bit his teeth and crossed his heart, and he died!
"Holy Lord...... It's not that I'm stupid, it's that King Barnhardt has the grace of knowing me, and if I don't repay this kindness, it's really hard for me to be a man, but the Holy Lord also has the grace of reinvention for me, and I ...... I...... I...... Hey, since the Holy Lord said that I chose the wrong team, I have nothing to say, but I beg to die to repay the great kindness of the old king and you!!"
Liu Xuan looked at it coldly and didn't speak.
Harvey was also really anxious, flipped his wrist, took out a sharp blade from the storage ring, turned the tip of the knife upside down and choked his throat, and without even hesitating, he stabbed it down.
When the tip of the knife was stained with the skin, Liu Xuan blew lightly, and a stream of aura was like a sword, shaking Harvey's knife into powder.
"Okay, I already knew you were smart," Liu Xuan walked back to the bed with his hands behind his back, "Whether this knife is true or not, you always have a bloody nature, you know the lord of the empire first, and then know me, so it is normal to be loyal to him, if you ignore the old master at the beginning, you will die for a long time at this time." ”
Harvey gasped for breath, his heart trembling with fear, and he knew he had done the right thing.
Liu Xuan drank another glass of wine and said: "Come here today, go and persuade your old master to conspire with me to solve the dark church thoroughly, otherwise I will have to make the empire change hands." At the end of this year, or the beginning of next year, our army will go on a northern expedition, and there is not much time left for him......"
