Chapter 184 Who Are You?
Zelen: "You said that restoring a weapons and ammunition production line will create more jobs?"
Natalie: "Yes. That's for sure. And as for the ammunition itself, the raw materials also need to be transported by porters."
Zelen: "That's it..."
Nathalie: "I heard from my dad that many factories cannot recruit employees with a high level of education and can only maintain a relatively low level of production."
Zelen: "Sure enough, it is still an education problem. If the education problem is not taken seriously, there will be no hope for the development of our country."
Natalie: "You mean..."
Zelen: "I believe Senagu is more concerned about this issue than me, and he is also more concerned about how to improve the level of education than me. But now, it would be great if there was no invasion by the Akitsu Empire."
Nathalie: "Otherwise, you can...ah, education costs a lot of money and will compete with other departments."
Zelen: "That's why I have such a headache. The army requires money, education requires money, research requires money, investment requires money. In short, everything in the current Krorod Empire requires money. Only... with you The two of them are not afraid to say that the most profitable thing for us now is the arms trade, and it is the arms trade with the Holy Church. Especially if we sell the weapons and equipment of the pig-headed people here, the Holy Church will be more likely to buy them at a high price. "
Natalie: "Isn't this an attempt to support the enemy?"
Zelen: "Indeed, in terms of the history and culture of the Crurod Empire, the Holy Church is a hostile force. But compared to the pig-headed people, they can be regarded as beings that can conduct neutral trade. Moreover, the church Apart from anything else, they have a strong ability to attract money. If we want to make a fortune, we must not let them go.”
Nathalie: "Well..."
Zelen: "What I mean is to only look at the money, don't look at anything else, so as not to get angry. And the Holy Church is not an idiot. They know that our country's laws and regulations strictly prohibit any external religious group from proselytizing. So we My job is very simple, if you can sell it, sell it.”
Nathalie: "Really?"
Zelen: "After all, the Holy Church now relies on our country, and we have the initiative."
As the Emperor of the Crurod Empire, Zelen has received an education at the elite level of the nobility. So he knows the term initiative better than anyone else.
Taking the initiative makes it easier to control more benefits.
Especially in the face of forces like the Holy Church, which pay more attention to the spread of ideas than financial gains.
To be honest, in Zelen's own opinion, the Holy Church is actually a cult that has obtained a legal flag in the past.
Even though the Holy Church has its own scientific research and technology research and development projects, this church has not carried forward the relevant scientific research technologies. Instead, it has tried every means to burn all kinds of books that were the crystallization of foreign cultures it came into contact with, and in the name of the law, Many scholars who had obvious conflicts with their own teachings were eliminated.
However, it is very ironic that the Night Clan, the vampire clan, which is feared and rejected by most members of the human race, is one of the few forces in the Holy Church that not only does not carry out military extermination, but also has academic exchanges with them.
The reason is very simple.
The ancestor of the vampire family is also a devout believer in the Holy Church. He became a vampire because of the curse of the demons. He was completely unwilling and even prayed to a god from the Holy Church to obliterate him. But in the end, this ancestor did not die. Later, he was favored by a certain god and became a chosen warrior. He devoted himself to the cause of destroying the demon clan for a long time.
In the past, when the Rimai people were not called Rimai people, they were just a group of half-demon slaves who resisted the enslavement of human forces. They were lucky enough to meet and save this vampire ancestor who was unfortunately assassinated. As a result, out of repayment, the ancestors taught the Rimai people some simple magic they had mastered, so that the Rimai people at that time successfully escaped from the encirclement and suppression of human forces and fled overseas. This was also an opportunity for the Rimai people to study magic. starting point.
Of course, if one traces the origins seriously, the shamans of the Krurod Empire, that is, the magic users of the Rimai people, actually have the same magic properties as the priests of the Holy Church. However, due to the passage of time and the fact that the Krurod Empire did not pay much attention to magical power, if it had not been for the current invasion of the Akitsu Empire, it is estimated that the research on shamans would have only been auxiliary as the theme and would not have been invested in military wars.
Therefore, since the Holy Church has something to pray for for its own country, can Zelen learn more about magic from the Holy Church?
no!
Absolutely not!
If he took the initiative to make such a request to the Holy Church, it would be equivalent to handing the hilt of the knife to the Holy Church, a true act of siding with the enemy.
So he might as well start from the pig-headed man's side. At least the pig-headed man's Ariko has told the Crurod Empire what kind of power the powerful magic users can show.
Natalie: "Zeren?"
Zelen: "Huh? It's okay. I was just thinking about something else. Well, if you need to learn a foreign language, which race's language will you choose to learn?"
Nathalie: "This... the Pali language of the United Kingdom of Eri or the Akijin language of the pig-headed people."
Zelen: "I understand the former, but the latter... I mean Nathalie, don't you hate the pig-headed man who speaks Akijin?"
Naseri: "I hate pig-headed people, but that doesn't mean I hate their language. Especially my sister and I have been learning Akitsu language recently to interpret the textual materials left by the Akitsu Empire."
Natalie: "Recently, we heard that mechanical dragonflies were captured outside. So we..."
Zeren: "Are you worried that their chaos will break into the palace?"
Natalie, Naseri: "Yeah."
Seeing these two black short skirt maids with basically the same appearance and body shape answer in unison again, Zeren suddenly understood why in the Krurod Empire, the rule of twin sisters must marry the same husband.
Because in the Krurod Empire, identical twins will only appear as female individuals, that is, any mother who is pregnant with identical twins will only give birth to healthy female offspring, so these female offspring, which are formed by the splitting of an embryo at the biological level, are often regarded as one. Of course, it won't take long for Zeren to enjoy Natalie and Naseri's fully developed bodies, and he is still worried about one thing.
You know, since the pig-headed man secretly dropped the dragonfly reconnaissance plane in Sugui City, how could the guy behind the scenes not let Ranbo come to the palace to cause trouble?
If I guess correctly, the confidentiality officers under the Intelligence Bureau should have fought wits and courage with the pig-headed intelligence agency, and even martyrs unknown to the outside world have appeared.
In other words, the Akitsu Empire wants to kill him. And it is a much more covert assassination than the previous method. After all, no matter how stupid an idiot is, he should know that he is not afraid of magic attacks.
For this reason, sending a professional assassin, Ranbo is the best way.
However, Zelun himself has a question.
It is not cheap to simply send assassins to attack the palace. The most likely way is to hide among the people visiting the palace and find an opportunity to get close to him to assassinate him.
Then... what kind of visitor will the pig-headed man choose as his disguise?
At this time, he looked again at the twin sisters who had been serving him closely. He paid more attention to the clothes on the sisters than the curvy bodies that could not be hidden at all.
Fortunately, he never came into contact with other palace maids. He was completely taken care of by the twin sisters who kept their legs from thighs to calves clamped when sitting, and deliberately stuck out their chests and blushed.
Natalie, Nassari: "What are you looking at us...we..."
Zelen: "I'm thinking about you...um!"
Zelen suddenly thought of something and stood up immediately, and then continued to look at the two maids who also stood up.
Natalie, Nassari: "Zelen?"
Zelen: "Who are you?"
