Chapter 596: South Coast (Part 1)...

To be honest, the lords here are basically not as knowledgeable as people like Roddy who used to live in the Internet age. Hegemonic powers instigate wars in war-torn countries to make money from wars is something that taxi drivers in the 21st century can spend a few hours talking about, but it is unheard of for lords who have stayed in their territories for more than ten years Vicious means...

Originally, I thought that Roddy was a powerful warlord with a large army in his hands, but now it seems... This guy is definitely material for a hegemony. The six lords couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs simply thinking about the huge benefits that might be generated behind it.

Fortunately, he didn't point the finger at himself, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died!

The plan to extend to the west was finalized without any resistance, and Sally was stunned by Roddy's heroic means. After all, the biggest beneficiary behind all these actions was the Duke of Efta. Of course, the future may be called It is more appropriate to be "Grand Duke". But in Sally's heart, hers is Rody's, there is no difference.

The "cabinet meeting" lasted for a long time, and there are many details related to the interior of the territory that need to be discussed. It is estimated that the post-war meeting will not be finished in three days, so the meeting will be temporarily closed after the sky is getting late, let the lords Go back and rest, continue tomorrow.

Rody, who had been talking in the meeting room for a day, was a little tired and had dinner with Sally. The steak smelled delicious, but the smell on Sally was even more fragrant—because the Duke insisted on sitting next to him to eat, if It wasn't that there was someone next to her. Rody estimated that Sally would definitely choose to sit on his lap.

The relationship between Sally and Rody is more like a long-distance relationship. They haven't been together for a long time, and the enthusiasm when they meet can't be concealed. As the Duke, Sally chattered excitedly like a little girl, not only talking about how nervous the orcs were when they attacked, but also talking about how she made decisions when every battle report came.

"It seems that a war really made you grow up a lot."

Luo Di expressed his relief, but Sally sighed: "Wood, being a Duke is exhausting."

"As long as I am the prime minister for a day, you will have nothing to worry about in the future. After all, the 'cabinet' is a place to save you effort. If you have any ideas, just tell me, and I will help you realize them."

While nibbling on the steak, Rody replied, "Put it somewhere else, it's called overhead power, you should hate me to death."

"Well, I hate you to death."

Sally punched Roddy with her pink fist, "I haven't come to look for me for so long, and I don't know who is so obsessed that I can't walk."

Luo Di thought that what she said was true, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "But speaking of it,

Your identity is really important. "

"Huh? You mean the title of duke?"

"No, it's the priesthood of the 'Rostic Cross'." Rody's face became more serious: "In this situation, no matter what we do, we can't avoid the 'Rostic Cross', and even use them to solve the problem. But it It’s a double-edged sword, maybe one day I will cut myself.”

Roddy pointed in the direction of the monastery: "The cabinet meeting has not allowed them to participate, because once they are allowed to intervene, things will be much more troublesome. But with you, they will not really stand up and make trouble."

Sally frowned and thought for a while, then said: "So... you hope that I can gain a foothold within the sect?"

"And try to form your own influence. When necessary, it is better to push you to the position of bishop."

Luo Di's words were so relaxed that Sally couldn't help but feel amused: "Don't mess around, do you think 'Rose Cross' is a firm run by your family?"

"If religion is separated from commercial operations, it really cannot survive." Rody smiled mysteriously: "It's okay, there will always be a day."

*****

While Rody was enjoying the delicious steak, the magister Houdini and his apprentices camped on the cliffs near the strait.

The coastline is at sunset, and the temperature is gradually dropping, so the mages in front of the campfire are eating hard bread, blowing the fishy sea breeze.

But after all, this is a group of powerful magicians. Things like lighting a fire and cooking are convenient and fast with the help of magic. The taste of the broth is acceptable, but the bad dining environment is unavoidable. The ten or so mages who were sitting on the rocks eating were speaking much softer than usual, and their gazes looked at the figure in front of the campfire from time to time, feeling the unstable mood of the old mage.

Before today, Houdini was in a very happy mood.

Houdini couldn't hide his inner excitement after hearing Roddy's thoughts on "aircraft carrier". In fact, he has already made a decision. In the future, he will hold on to Roddy's thigh tightly—whether it is magic technology or the resources of the cobalt-gold mine, any one of them is enough to make him a career in Laximan.

More importantly, he hopes to become a core member of Brenka College, sweeping away the decadent and cowardly political atmosphere of the college!

Not afraid of being laughed at by others, Houdini was once elected as a "senator" of the Brenka Academy in the parliament, but after only three weeks, he was pushed down by the means of cooperating with outsiders in the Ballenner Academy... This experience makes Houdini Ni felt ashamed, because he didn't expect his Brenka Academy to be so cowardly!

To put it bluntly, the Brenka Academy has always displayed the attribute of "neutrality" to the outside world-but to put it bluntly, this is a very disgusting "wall-sitting faction".

There is no true absolute neutrality, especially for Rahiman, who relies on mages to rule the country. How can a political group that always advertises itself as "neutral" have a future? However, the Brenka Academy is obviously not rich in politicians. After Houdini became a member of the parliament, he was immediately disqualified as a member because he objected to several opinions of the Barrenna Academy.

Although this is an internal decision of the academy, it must be Ballenal's pressure behind it. How could Houdini not hold grudges?

Because of this revocation, Houdini was given a "comfort" task, but this breath was so choked in his throat that he couldn't swallow it for the rest of his life.

Houdini, who wanted to counterattack, really devoted 300% of his energy to assist Rody at this time. So he surveyed hundreds of miles of coastline on the southernmost desolate coast of Efta in a few days-this is a real on-the-spot survey, rather than relying on a prophecy to glance at it.

To build a deep-water port and a port city, you must first find a suitable bay. The Rahiman Kingdom, which is proficient in shipbuilding, has a very high level in this regard. Houdini himself can be the leader of the "Polatini" because of him. In-depth knowledge of ships and ports.

Without this knowledge, how could he detect the naval strength of the Karen royal family?
