Chapter 784 I’m Very Busy, I Don’t Have Time to Quarrel, Let’s Do It Quickly
In many novels, there is often a situation like this: the protagonist is born in a remote town on the edge of the world, beats the local old, weak, sick and disabled all the way to a more prosperous place, and then meets more villains in the big city outside. and the short-sighted little Yakuza. By destroying them, you can obtain the resources to go to a bigger city and a bigger map.
Ian has always believed that he perfectly meets the standards of this type of novel plot.
First of all, he came out of Harrison Port, the edge of the empire and even the entire world of Terra. At that time, Ian thought that the situation in Harrison Port was the normal state of Terra. He thought that this world was just a place with sublimated skills and psychic abilities. The post-apocalyptic world of lower civilization.
But it wasn't until Nauman City that Ian discovered that Terra's water might be deeper than he thought... A city with so many armors and large-scale alchemy equipment is enough to prove that the civilization behind it is at least at the level of source of industrialization.
However, this is not the correct answer - when Ian arrived in the imperial capital, he finally understood that the entire world of Terra was filled with mysteries. It was not a normal civilized world at all, and there were too many technologies that transcended the times lurking in it. Under various primitive appearances.
Compared with the imperial capital, a rural place like Harrison Port has a completely different style. It can even be said to be a complete fraud.
——Can the gap between a small border town and the capital be so huge? !
——Oh, it can really be that big. It's okay, it was Ian who made too much fuss.
Unlike the Imperial Capital, Ian's impressions of the World Tree Capital were actually a bit more bizarre.
No matter how advanced the appearance is, the internal order of the imperial capital is still the emperor and nobles, knights and commoners. Not to mention corrupt, at least it can be said that it is within Ian's expectation.
What's more, the truly high-tech place in the Imperial Capital is actually the Shangcheng District... But how dare Ian go to the Shangcheng District? Given his identity, he would definitely die without a burial place after being discovered by the emperor. So Ian didn't actually see the most advanced parts of the imperial capital.
But for Canaan Moore, let's not talk about technology... This group of elves who seem to live in a cyberpunk world, and the completely mechanized world tree capital, really surprised Ian too much.
The passage the Silver Gate airship entered was spacious and equipped with indicator lights. The entire airship was bathed in a light golden halo, and a green beam of light shot out from the docking position, guiding the airship to move forward slowly.
As an immigrant rocket engineer on the other side of the earth, Ian could tell at a glance that this passage was basically an entry and exit passage for small spacecrafts. It even had a guidance beam... To be honest, it looked too familiar.
T-click!
As the airship slowly entered the berth and landed in his own exclusive area, Ian officially arrived at the World Tree Capital.
The end of the silver-gray passage looks very similar to the terminus of a subway station. Not far away, there are staff driving small forklifts to move the goods on the airship. There are also some engineers holding tools to prepare for maintenance of the airship, and they, the passengers, are They were isolated in a channel covered with transparent glass to avoid being contaminated by the exhaust gas released when the airship engine stopped running.
Until this moment, the young man was still a little immersed in the scenery he had seen before - the elves holding crystal plates in their hands, scanning the airships and giving likes, and the ten kings of blood elves sending cash to all witnesses... To be honest, This is too cyberpunk, and a little incompatible with the sword and magic style of the Empire.
"I knew you would like this view Ian."
Isengard noticed Ian's "distraught" look, and was not surprised at all - when he took Ian around the imperial capital, he often saw such expressions on his friends, and he patted Ian on the shoulder. : "But don't be stunned now. Wouldn't it be nice to let Anfa take us to visit together later?"
"...In fact, compared to the World Tree Capital itself, I am more amazed by the political system of Canaan Moore."
The silver-blue halo flashing in his eyes dimmed. After finishing his observation, Ian shook his head slightly and complained: "Speaking of it, Ethan, don't you find it strange... There is such a big difference between the Empire and Canaan Moore. Those The elves have even used crystal plates and digital currency! But we don’t even use checks over there!”
"Hmm...is there anything surprising about this?"
Ian's question was considered to be about Ethan. The blond boy scratched his head and said with some distress: "It's different, but...every country has its own differences? Each country in Terra has its own unique characteristics. If they are really similar, why not merge them?"
"As for the crystal plate terminal, it is indeed a very advanced technology. Didn't the empire form an alliance with Canaan Moore some time ago? The introduction of crystal plate terminal technology is part of the cooperation project. I remember that the negotiation has been successful, and it may be formalized by the end of the year. Introduction.”
Having said this, Isengard seemed to have thought of something, lowered his voice, leaned over and said mysteriously: "Ian, do you want a pilot qualification? I have a qualification here, but I don't have a territory. If you are interested, I can give it to you! "
"Of course." Ian could actually tell that Isengard specifically asked for a license to operate the crystal panel terminal in the pilot area, but he just didn't want him to care too much, so he said this.
He lowered his head, lowered his voice, and pretended to be mysterious: "But there is no need to pretend, just tell the truth about our relationship - thank you, Ethan."
"Ah...nothing to thank you for..."
Isengard was a little embarrassed. He actually knew that with Ian's wisdom, it was impossible not to see this, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly point out: "What should we do next... Hey, I didn't come to this place. Pass?"
Although Isengard was considered a distinguished guest of Canaan Moore, he was not able to enter the dedicated passage of the Blood Tribe of the Ten Kings. He looked around and could only see a silver-white station space, and for a while he could not find the exit.
"The exit is up there."
At this moment, Anfa appeared with Xio and Master Gravi. The eldest lady of the Jindeng family was exchanging some things with Master Gravi about the current situation of Canaan Moore - Master Gravi has not returned for fifty years. , naturally there is a lot of information that needs to be updated.
Miss Elf was familiar with the road and motioned for everyone to follow her. They came to an automatically activated magnetic levitation tray. The exit gate was directly above the passage: "Yggdrasil City has many designs that are anti-human, and there are many passages. You have to fly over, and you can only build an extra elevator to pass through."
——Of course, this is obviously a design for a low-gravity area in space, a place where astronauts can float and jump. If it is placed on the surface, it cannot float, it can only walk. It must be anti-human!
Ian could see at a glance why those 'anti-human' doors and passages were built in those places, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Is the Capital of the World Tree of Emotions really a spaceship inserted on the ground? So what about surrounding the World Tree? Wasn't the Gaia garden in the capital created when the spaceship crashed?"
Thinking about it this way, it is now self-evident what the 'root system' of the World Tree Capital is - it is obviously the Gaia Garden Seeder that stores fire and is used for planetary transformation!
Standing on the magnetic levitation pallet, the group of people was slowly sent to the exit passage.
"What kind of industry are the Blood of the Ten Kings of Canaan Moore engaged in?"
On the way out, Ian asked Anfa curiously: "Every time the core members of the Ten Kings Blood travel with airships, they probably throw out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ona (thousands to ten thousand thalers). , which is indeed not much for the ruling family of Canaan Moore, but it can also create one or two ascendants."
"all."
Regarding Ian's doubts, Anfa's answer was simple: "The blood of the Ten Kings is all Canaan Moore has."
"Medical care, strategic development, organization and personnel, weapons and equipment, industrial production, alchemy and spiritual energy, entertainment media, politics and diplomacy, food and agriculture, mining and forestry ecology...all the aspects you can think of and cannot think of are enough to constitute a country and a civilization All things are the inheritance of the blood of the Ten Kings.”
Saying this, Anfa's tone was neither proud nor disgusted, just a matter-of-fact statement: "Canaan Moore has no private enterprises... or in other words, there are only ten super giant oligarchic groups under the blood names of the ten kings, and their subordinates. Small businesses attached to these groups.”
"Every elf is an employee of the Ten Kings Blood, or indirectly serves the Ten Kings Blood... I know what you want to ask Ian. In fact, the Ten Kings Blood can even be sent to all the citizens of Canaan Moore. Additional consumer vouchers are used to boost the economy, but that means will only be used when the economy stagnates."
Anfa shrugged: "To be honest, core members like us rarely travel in front of the public, but so what if we go out every day for 365 days? The money sent out is only digital currency, and they are nothing more than It’s just for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and buying some luxuries... If you want to accumulate potions, you have to see us at least a hundred times in a row."
——Have you really distributed money to everyone regarding love?
Ian almost gasped, but finally held it back.
The political system in Canaan Moore was indeed a little more outrageous than he imagined... Ten super-giant bloodline giants controlled the entire country, and all citizens were under their jurisdiction.
Because the technology in Terra is extremely advanced in some aspects, these giant companies can obtain sufficient wealth without exploiting ordinary people. In order to ensure the stability of the entire society and avoid greater losses caused by popular riots, They can spend money without hesitation, and spend "digital currencies" that are ridiculously large for ordinary people, so that people can consume, admire, and worship the order they have set.
It's like people never hate overtime, but they force overtime without overtime pay... If a company not only does not force you to work overtime, but also pays overtime for working overtime, it will even randomly give extra bonuses to each employee through a lottery. So how many people will hate this company and not want to work for this company?
No wonder, the internal fighting between the ten blood kings is so fierce, but Canaan Moore is still very calm... Because the war of the ten blood kings only involves each other, it is a secret war between the nobles and high-level people, and ordinary people are affected by this iron-like Raised in order, there will naturally be no unnecessary ill feelings.
This is the order that is being implemented on Terra outside the Empire.
"Why doesn't the Empire do this?"
Ian thought like this, and then quickly thought of the answer: "Hey, I'm really stupid - the blood of the ten kings is just ten mountains to be honest. In terms of management, it must be through Qi, and there are also crystal plate terminals. Cutting-edge technology is what meets the conditions.”
"As for the empire, the intelligence organization alone has seven or eight hills, and the interior is a mess. This is the result of two generations of suppression by Inaga II and the Guardians. In addition, the empire also Without digital currency and crystal terminals, it’s still early to implement this kind of information management, let alone distribute money to all people.”
Moreover, the system on Canaan Moore's side is definitely not all good. Otherwise, the countries of Terra would not have any sense of shame, and they would definitely copy it.
However, this aspect requires further careful observation to draw results.
"Aren't the Ten Blood Kings enemies?" Ian turned to ask another aspect: "Why can they separate different areas for cooperation instead of fighting among themselves?"
"It's an enemy." The eldest lady of the Jindeng family sighed softly. She looked towards the end of the exit in front: "But Canaan Moore must become a country in order to face the ubiquitous threat of natural disasters in the Cangtian Royal Court and Terra... ...We are first the elves of Canaan Moore, the controllers of the Capital of the World Tree, and then we are the blood of the Ten Kings - to put it bluntly, it is the saying of Canaan Moore, fight without breaking, this is the unspoken rule behind all struggles, in the world After the direction decision-making meeting is over, the Ten Blood Kings will not continue to fight, but will work together to advance."
"Of course, this is only an ideal state. In fact, even after the meeting is over, there will be enemies inside that will cause obstacles... and usually, they will often provoke each other."
Saying this, Anfa stopped.
She frowned and looked towards the end of the road, where another group of elves had just walked out of the passage of other airships: "It's like this. Encountering a feud."
The group of elves obviously also discovered the existence of Anfa. They were stunned for a moment and frowned. But soon, after realizing that Anfa's current physical strength did not seem to be very strong, their brows relaxed and they came closer.
"What, Anfa?"
The leader, a young elf with long blue hair, stepped forward and said with a half-smile, "Why didn't you take your Jindeng family's neon-like airboat today instead of taking the Yinmen family's silver balloon?"
"Why, do you want to be like your aunt and marry into the Yinmen family as a concubine?"
After finishing speaking, the elf behind the elf young man let out a very timely roar of laughter.
Ian blinked, and he and Isengard looked at each other, and the other side shook his head slightly, saying that the nobles in the empire never engage in civil fights - the nobles in the imperial capital generally show their carriages and horses on the streets like the Earl of Phoenix and the Gnostic Academy. In a duel, the nobles of the North will directly pick up their bows and shoot at each other without talking nonsense to you. They are very virtuous in martial arts.
——The elves of Canaan Moore are still elegant. This is Isengard's emotion.
——I don’t think this has anything to do with elegance, unless it’s another Terran trait. This is Ian's assessment.
Then Ian and Anfa looked at each other, and found that the other person's expression was so calm that he wanted to yawn. It was commonplace, and it became clear at once: "Emotions are the daily communication between the maintenance party and the pillar party."
"Jegona, I know you have always had a crush on my uncle. There is no need to use me as a meal replacement to express your sincere fantasies."
Raising his eyebrows elegantly, Anfa replied lazily: "I have always supported free love, and I also support immoral and taboo love that transcends gender and family. Don't worry, I will help you show your sincerity in the newspaper tomorrow. The title is 'The second son of Manedabu bravely speaks out for true love' will definitely boost newspaper sales."
"Ha." The long-blue-haired elf in the branch, who was called Jegona, sneered: "You're just a bit of a talker, bastard, I have so many scandals, and you still have to make up one of them? Do you really want to go out in public and engage in news attacks, or are you, a guy who can only travel with a prosthetic body, more afraid?"
"Huh." Anfa raised his eyebrows: "I thought everyone was envious of my dragon blood, but I didn't expect you to be quite dishonest - be honest, there's no shame in saying I'm envious."
"Envy? Pity!" Jiegena shook his head disdainfully, "There is nothing to envy about a fake whose bloodline may collapse at any time..."
"Sorry, stop."
At this time, just when Jegona and Anfa were taunting each other so smoothly that they didn't know how many times they had happened, Ian suddenly spoke.
He raised his right hand, signaling for both parties to pause: "Are you really not going to take action?"
Under the dazed gaze of the elf opposite, the white-haired boy sighed: "If you don't take action, can you step aside?"
"I'm very busy, anxious to conduct a field trip to the World Tree Capital, and I don't have time to listen to trash talk."
