When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

#719 - transition

Sitting in the carriage returning to the Mechanical Palace, Horn was still thinking about this matter.

The Kerben Mithril refining method is huge for Horn's Holy Alliance, and even the entire empire, and even the Flesh Sanctum across the sea.

It's just that this butterfly hasn't had time to flap its wings yet, and it will probably take ten or eight years to really exert its strength.

Mithril is a very valuable metal. In addition to its weight-reducing properties, its alloys also have rust-proof capabilities.

Its market value is only slightly lower than gold, and it was even once one of the precious metal currencies.

Saint Throne City has the Papal Guard, and the Leia royal family has the Edict Iron Guard, both of which are standing elite tower shield infantry.

And among the equipment of these tower shield infantry, the most important tower shield is mixed with a large amount of mithril to reduce weight.

According to the previously surveyed reserves, that large piece of hollow earth plain or small plateau has a unit of measurement that is heading towards tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tons.

I thought mithril was a precious thing, but now it seems that the reserves are not small.

Horn opened his eyes from closing them to rest: "Raphael, how is the cleanup of the Black Serpent Bay against the Black Gang Secret Party?"

"The progress is going smoothly, and an answer is expected in early March. The overall situation is like this..." Raphael, as the liaison for the Black Serpent Bay Gendarmerie, immediately replied.

After August ended, the Black Gang Secret Parties thought that this public security activity was over, but they did not expect that this was just the beginning.

After resting for four months, the county chiefs from various places led the tax police corps that had been recruited and trained, and began to make a comeback.

From the end of last year in December, the large and small towns and large settlements of Black Serpent Bay were fighting fiercely.

Tax police, gendarmerie, militia, black gang, and streets were all fighting, with bullets, fireballs, and crossbow arrows flying around.

You can see tax police and black gangs wielding iron-clad staffs chasing after each other in any slightly larger town or even village.

These local tax police can not only get 40% of the stolen money by taking down a black gang, but also get bonuses and even promotions from local tax allocations.

Several incidents of secret parties coercing people into riots broke out in various places, but they were all bloodily suppressed by the fully staffed God's Punishment Army of Black Serpent Bay.

It is estimated that three to four thousand people will be sent to the Holy Trinity Education Team in the eastern county to reclaim wasteland, and many of them have even participated in the war to support Thousand River Valley.

But Ottadira was still iron-faced and sent them away.

If the New Year's Day of 1448 in Thousand River Valley was a rare reunion celebration after a bloody storm.

Then the New Year's Day of 1448 in Black Serpent Bay was the bloody storm itself.

On the second day of the New Year, Tiannv City(天女城: Sky Woman City) and Changdi City(长堤城: Long Dike City) were directly under martial law, and the army and tax police blocked important roads and waterways to prevent the black gangs and secret parties from colluding.

Although Horn had been paying attention, he did not intervene at all.

This cleanup of the black gangs and secret parties is not only a certificate of approval from Ottadira and others, but also an exam.

Executive ability needs to be exercised, practiced, and tested.

Horn has a fully staffed God's Punishment Army in Black Serpent Bay, and a large number of elite backbones transferred from Thousand River Valley to assist.

With this absolute advantage, as long as the leaders of Black Serpent Bay have executive abilities above the passing line, they can completely hand in a paper with 80 or 90 points.

If it is 60 or 70 points, then Horn will doubt Ottadira's ability level and consider whether to make up the exam.

If it fails, then what Horn is considering is whether to use the gendarmerie to override the Speaker.

Otherwise, when the war with the Leia people starts, with this level of executive ability, it will basically be a drag.

"Since you will give me a reply in early March, then you should go to explore in early February. When Ottadira comes to Thousand River Valley in March, I will talk to her about the hollow earth."

Horn calmed down and reminded the privy monks next to him: "Record it on the memo for easy scheduling."

"Oh, oh, oh." The new privy monk began to record in a fluster.

At this time, Horn misses Armand very much.

The carriage returned to the Mechanical Palace. Although it was the second day after the end of the New Year's Day holiday, Horn still stayed in the Mechanical Palace.

Because the first item on today's agenda is to give the Zhongsi Army(忠嗣军: Loyal Offspring Army) teenagers of the Mechanical Palace the first lesson of the spring.

He returned to the dining table and wanted to take the opportunity to eat two bites of the breakfast he had not finished, but he saw that Hillove was still sitting at the round table.

"Aren't you going to study that lightning slime today? Or are you just on vacation?" Horn asked, stuffing the pie into his mouth while speaking indistinctly.

Hillove didn't speak, just stared at Horn with her tail between her legs: "Maybe I should go see that Cynthia..."

"You have made indelible contributions to the Holy Alliance." Horn squatted down and looked solemnly into Hillove's eyes, "These contributions are enough for you to lie on them and sleep. The victory gained by your personal unreasonable sacrifice is surrender, not a real victory."

"What if I want to see her myself?"

Gently rubbing the wolf girl's fluffy crown of her head, Horn smiled and said: "Don't have too much pressure. If Dragon Language Magic is so strong, why is she squatting in the dungeon and we drove away the church?"

Watching Horn's hurried back to the partial hall of the Mechanical Palace to teach the Zhongsi Army(忠嗣军: Loyal Offspring Army), Hillove did not immediately return to the Aether Spire.

"Afu, stand back, I'll walk by myself."

Turning the wheelchair, Hillove slowly wandered around the Mechanical Palace.

From the winter of 1444 when Horn discovered the Mechanical Palace to the spring of 1448, nearly 3 years have passed, but the Mechanical Palace has changed a lot.

The original broken bricks and tiles were cleaned up, the damaged ground was repaired, and the original wear and tear and rust on the palace were all polished off.

Several collapsed empty palaces were rebuilt, and the surrounding walls were heightened and expanded by a circle, adding many circular arches and viewing windows between the palaces like a garden.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

Divided by walls and arches, small parks appeared in Hillove's vision.

And one of her favorite places to go is the small plant greenhouse made of glass and steel frames.

The various exotic plants offered by the Black Serpent Bay Secret Parties were neatly planted in the glass greenhouse surrounded by flues.

It is said to be a glass greenhouse, but it is actually a brick and tile structure, but it uses floor-to-ceiling windows and steel frame skylights.

Although Hillove has not been to Black Serpent Bay, she can still see the sickly large red flowers, umbrella crown ferns, Yejia Muluo(耶加木罗: Yirgacheffe), Lituo Sleeping Lotus(莉托睡拿莲: Lito Sleeping Lotus), etc. in the glass room.

Some Screaming Flowers and Faded Forging Grass have also been placed in the small botanical garden in the Saint Mechanical Court city for visitors to visit.

Because she was wearing thick clothes, Hillove did not enter the glass greenhouse, but continued forward.

At the edge of the garden, you can see that the original elevated aqueduct has become a huge two-story wooden barrel.

Although she can't see it, Hillove knows that water purification gel developed by pharmacist Sesi and alchemist priest Robert is floating in the wooden barrel.

In fact, it is a recipe contributed by a secret party, which is just used on slime gel.

The drawn water will be filtered through charcoal blocks, then be absorbed by the water purification gel to remove impurities and sterilize, and then flow out through terracotta pipes and brass faucets.

Walking past the water tank, the gable door in front of her is getting closer and closer.

So Hillove's movement of turning the wheelchair became more and more sluggish, until the wheels rested on the threshold.

Almost in an instant, Hillove trembled as if struck by lightning, and that strange fear surged from her heart again.

The year before last, she said that she must leave the Mechanical Palace last year. Last year, she said that she must leave the Mechanical Palace this year.

But she broke her promise again.

The threshold is less than a foot high, and it is as insurmountable as the Furnace Snow Mountain Plateau for her.

Those rooms are hung with art paintings recording the scenery of various places and street sketches of the Saint Mechanical Court, and Hillove spent a lot of her salary on these paintings.

Because Hillove emphasized details and realism, she forced some local artists to start studying perspective and light and shadow in order to be realistic.

But no matter how real the painting is, the blue paint can never smell the sea.

Looking at her empty legs, Hillove sometimes really wants to ask her mother why?

Why did she do this? Why was she so cruel?

"I won't be able to get out in this life..." Hillove lowered her head deeply, but maybe it's not bad.

Anyway, no matter where Horn goes, he will bring back local objects, plants, and customs to reproduce in the Mechanical Palace.

Compared to the past, she has received enough.

She is waiting behind the high walls of the palace, waiting for Horn to create a new world, and then bring it to her to see.
