Chapter 764

Because there is no mud and bumps to struggle with, the speed of the entire team has more than doubled. One reading???·????????? Even though the solid road surface has been stepped on by countless horses, there are still no dents or marks, which amazed everyone in the team.

"My lord duke, if we can keep going at this speed, we can reach Elson City within three days!"

Because of the duke's noble status, the guard team was led by the great knight Titus himself. At this time, a knight in the position of vice-captain was speaking next to the duke's carriage. After a little calculation in his mind, he came to this astonishing conclusion. You must know that before this, he thought that the trip would be considered smooth if it was completed within 15 days. And now...if this road can be repaired, the time between the two cities will be shortened to four days. If there are enough post stations to change horses, it is estimated that two days are possible if they travel day and night!

This is not just a problem with Elson and Houllier City. A road not only connects two points, but also connects various territories and cities along the way. The road increases the speed of movement, which is equivalent to shortening the distance between cities in disguise. Behind this means that the resources of the entire Efta are more integrated, the market is larger, and the scope of influence is wider!

These are not the questions that the captain of the guard was thinking about, but the thoughts that popped up in Sally's heart at this moment. It won't surprise her that Rody builds a stronger army and owns a wider territory, but now she feels...Rody is unstoppably changing the world.

Although the road is only the tip of the iceberg, Sally does realize that this change is rapidly permeating the entire kingdom. The invention of paper, the promotion of printing, the dissemination of newspapers, the upcoming "civil servant examination" and so on, the original order is like a rusty iron puppet, which seems to be left behind the new order established by Roddy...

Sally looked into the distance and thought a lot, but the cold wind quickly made her little face turn red from the cold. Butler John hurriedly helped Sally back to the stable and quiet carriage on the carriage. At this time, it was already as comfortable as a bedroom in a mansion. Although Rody was not very good at writing love words in letters to her, this one shortened the time between the two of them. For Sally, the road of distance is better than any rhetoric.

It was still early, and Sally took out the paper again and began to read the various briefings of the territory. At the same time, she also looked at the outline of the upcoming "cabinet meeting". So far, the members of the "Cabinet" have kept themselves safe and cautiously implemented the government orders issued by Roddy for several months. Facts have proved that such administrative methods are efficient and useful, but what worries Sally is... the conflict with the royal family Increasingly prominent, will the "cabinet" gradually become divided?

The answer is actually yes, but she doesn't know when this hidden danger will appear. ???Read???·?Want to read??·?

*****

The territory of the Earl of Les Pavuri is located about 80 kilometers east of Elson City. Because the road has been built, it only takes one day to reach Elson. This speed makes him feel that the Prime Minister really has nothing to do. cannot.

Although Efta's "cabinet" is Roddy's eloquence, but to be honest, none of the other six nobles is really an idiot. Earl Rice is forty years old this year. He is well-built and modest. He is famous for his ability to govern the territory. However, since last year, the change in Efta's political structure has made it difficult for him to adapt: ​​before, everything in the territory was decided by him, and even the law was up to him. But now he has been deprived of most of his powers, and he no longer "owns" the territory, but only has the right to "supervise".

At any other moment, no one would have agreed to such a change. However, in the face of disasters and wars, he absolutely puts "survival" first. His biggest goal is to make the Pavuri family continue.

Because he was on the right side, Earl Rice successfully obtained a seat in the cabinet, and relied on his outstanding ability to implement every policy proposed by Roddy... No matter how reluctant he was,

His keen political sense has made him the winner of this war so far.

But... what next?

In the final analysis, no one can escape the limitations brought about by the times. Just as Earl Rice didn't think that Roddy's "cabinet" would replace the feudal system at this moment, the only thing he could think of was that the Luciferon family would become the next "royal family".

The split of the Karen Kingdom is no longer a prophecy, but an ongoing fact. However, he is also very clear that in the past few years, it may be difficult for the two sides to have a direct war to decide the outcome.

"Master, the man has arrived."

The voice of the butler brought him back from his contemplation. The earl did not go to the normal living room to talk, but passed through the secret door of the mansion and met the visitor in a hidden basement.

He was careful, because the identity of the person he met at this time was too sensitive. The other party was a guardian knight under Charles II. He was in the palace, but he also had the title of viscount.

The purpose of this knight appearing here is self-evident. However, Earl Rice did not reveal any tone during the conversation with the other party. Both parties were old nobles who had been in the center of power for many years. They talked a lot, but there was very little real communication.

The meeting ended in less than half an hour, and Les, who returned to the study, looked unchanged, as if nothing had happened just now.

For Charles II's temptation and win over, he chose to refuse without hesitation. Because the current situation is stable, the Earl of Rice, who is in a high position, does not need to take risks. However, for a politician, it is almost instinctive to leave a way out.

What do nobles, powerful families, and families want to see most? The answer is always class solidification, and the family will continue forever and even reach the top. Rice, who now only has the right to "supervise", obviously does not think that the "cabinet" will continue like this forever, so when the "cleaning" comes again, who will really be able to let go of the power in their hands?

"My lord, about the cabinet meeting..."

"Let's go when you're ready, don't make the Prime Minister wait."

Earl Les stared at the burning fireplace in front of him, squinting and replied.

Although the recent issues of "Karen Age" have been exaggerating the news that "Frost Dragon Lord Victor and Elson signed several agreements", but speaking of it, these contents are actually very simple, and it can even be said that they are completely "for Sign a deal and sign a deal," far less than the hundreds of items that Rahiman and Efta collaborated on.

This is because Victor's policy of "aligning with humans" within the Dragon Clan has not been fully recognized so far. If all the Dragon Clans have no objections, then the Frost Dragon Clan must not be the only ones who come to Elson. Therefore, the current agreement only involves three items: the disposal of the Kosvo land dragon, Kardashian's staying behind, and the ownership of the "space-time rift".

However, these three insignificant items have solidly established Elson City's status as the "capital of magic". Therefore, Roddy can now be said to have released most of Kardashian's permissions, allowing her to browse anywhere without being blocked.

Just like at this time, Kardashian felt bored after walking through the lecture halls filled with "speech titles" at the door, so she walked up to the twelfth floor of the magic tower. Research Department” area.

The rest of the mages who participated in the exchange meeting did not have permission to enter at all, even big-name magisters like Kron and Strange were the same. But Kardashian came here unimpeded. The guards and researchers on both sides saluted respectfully when they saw her. There was even a good-looking female magic apprentice who was arranged to follow her and asked if she needed refreshments or introductions. This kind of comfortable and considerate service naturally made Kardashian happy. With her hands behind her back, she slid forward one by one with a curious expression on her face.

"What is this that Rody is studying?"

"My lord, there are different project groups. Each group's research projects are different and involve various aspects. There will be instructions at the door of each laboratory."

This magic apprentice named Marilyn was actually very nervous. She was not born in a noble family, but was a servant of a viscount in her family. After becoming a mage by chance, she came here because of her reputation. After passing the review, she entered the research Ministry, but never wanted to be assigned such a job. Fortunately, Kardashian was no different from a normal mage after restraining her breath, so after a short chat, she quickly adapted to this rhythm.

"I heard you say so much, what is the most interesting?"

Kardashian looked away from the "Crossbreeding" sign, obviously not interested in the druid with turf hanging on his body.

"Returning to my lord, if it is interesting, it is the largest 'vehicle research and development' and the recently opened 'aircraft research and development' two groups."

While talking, Marilyn led him to push open the door with the sign of "Vehicle Research and Development". As soon as she entered, Kardashian was attracted by the things placed at the door.

The smallest one on the far left is a two-wheeled vehicle, to put it bluntly, it is a "motorcycle". The front and rear wheels follow the design of the "Firebolt". The "engine" circle that provides power is located under the leather seat, and three charged spars are inserted vertically as energy sources. The frame is a woven shape made of wooden columns, and the surface is not covered with decorations, but it is all exposed. A small lighting circle is placed above the front wheel, covered with a cylindrical lampshade.

Disc brakes and suspension shock absorption have been configured. This style is naturally extremely fresh and unheard of in Kardashian's eyes. She wanted to try sitting on it, but because she was wearing a long robe, it was really not elegant to do so, so she gave up.

Next to it is an improved version of the Firebolt, a real "vehicle" with a steering wheel and four wheels, named Prototype Two. The size of this car is similar to that of the Firebolt, with a mid-mounted rear drive. After covering the car shell, it looks like an alien version of a formula car. Kardashian got up and took a seat. Because the driver's seat was low, she felt that it was awkward to drive half lying down, so she jumped down and walked to the third car. (to be continued..)
