Chapter 114 Miss Salted Fish

In front of a pure white bone sword with a large number of symbols densely stacked in the depths, Klein followed the senior deacon "Goddess Sword" Krestai who happened to be in Tingen and swore:

"The goddess of night who is higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity;"

"I swear to you with my true name and my spirituality."

"I, Klein, will never reveal the corresponding details to those who don't know the "acting method" from now on."

"If you violate it, you will punish me."

"Please witness my oath."

Well, it was in Hermes language, and the witness was the sacred bone sword, and a certain connection with the goddess had been established, but Xiao Ke didn't care too much about it, just swearing an oath.

But there is no need to care. Although he hasn't discovered it yet, Ke Miao is indeed a real goddess's follower. As long as he doesn't go too far, the goddess will not really punish him.

With Klein's previous achievements in handling extraordinary events and reporting, he has long been promoted to Sequence Eight.

Krestai took out the corresponding potion ingredients and formula from the box. Of course, the Church of the Night had a formula. Mr. Sword of the Goddess did not even explain why he had the formula. Little Krestai did not ask any more questions. He mixed it on the spot and drank it.

No surprise, Mr. Fool became a real clown.

"Praise the Goddess!"

...

"How can a miracle walking in the world be free? You have to trade with dreams. The gift given by the gods is a covenant~"

"The starry sky quietly casts a shadow, dusk covers the earth, and there will be no dawn from now on. The gods are powerless and give up hope~"

"If this door to the glory of life has long been destined to open with death, supreme god, one day I will say to you~"

Humming a song, Gu Meng's main consciousness controlled the clone, throwing a copper penny, walking on the edge of the big city of Backlund. There is no doubt that today is still a foggy day.

The political situation in Backlund is still the same now, and the contradictions between the old and the new are getting bigger and bigger.

To some extent, including Adam's promotion, the rise of steam, etc., the order of the mysterious world is still determined by the top extraordinary people.

If it is a real world without magic, the capitalists after the industrial revolution will always be able to spiral up and sweep the feudal aristocracy into the garbage dump of history unless there are special circumstances, because they have money and can represent relatively advanced productivity.

But in this world, the conservative traditional feudal aristocracy, facing the capitalists and the emerging aristocrats who have successfully transformed, should actually be in a favorable position-because they often have more middle and high sequence extraordinary people. For the real high sequence strongmen, the fact that the capitalists are richer does not mean anything.

But the real top power, especially Adam, and George III, who the royal family wants to become the Black Emperor, including the tacitly approved gods, from secular power to the kingdom of God, all stand on the side of the capitalists, the ultimate iron curtain, so the land aristocracy will still be swept into the garbage dump.

Take Duke Nigan, a big man in the Kingdom of Loen, for example. As a big boss of the Conservative Party, the mainstay of feudal forces, and a super landlord, before the repeal of the Corn Law, his annual rent income was 1.3 million pounds, and the value of his land was tens of millions of pounds.

After the repeal of the law, his annual rent income plummeted to 850,000 pounds, and countless ambassadors lost money.

In fact, no one at the bottom will really benefit from this round of game. It's all a game of power. It's just that the peasants can't work anymore and go to the city to work as workers. The city has higher expenses, and the factory environment is worse than the farm, and then they die faster in the factory.

Recently, many nobles who have to spend tens of thousands of pounds every year to maintain their dignity have to sell part of their land to maintain expenses.

The nobles repaired castles, bought gold, silver, jewelry and luxury goods, wore new clothes once and never wore them again, had frequent balls, weddings and funerals, and grand hunting. The bills are all things that the God of Poverty dare not even think about.

Before the steam rifle was developed, the nobles were more likely to go bankrupt if they held a few knight tournaments.

But the repeal of the Corn Acts was also part of George III's godhood ritual and Adam's historical trend, and the Conservatives could not stop it.

They could invite demigods, so there must be angels on the other side. They could not win by playing hard, and could only fight within the rules.

The Dusk Hermits were the first to break the rules this time, sending Qilingos to directly assassinate the leader of the opposite side. If they failed, they would send the Apostle of Desire again, because they were not afraid of conflict at all, and they just wanted to intensify the conflict.

It was okay for Miss Justice and others to stop the assassination once, which was Adam's face to Mr. Fool when it had nothing to do with Amon.

Because Azik, the angel under the Fool's seat who killed Qilingos, was the backhand of the God of Death's resurrection, but before being sold to the Goddess of Night, he had been under Adam's surveillance and guidance. Qilingos' death was irrelevant to Adam. The Goddess and Adam were really high-level players.

After the repeal of the Corn Acts, the power of the land nobles has obviously declined. In order to raise funds, the Conservatives and the New Party promised that no matter who donated enough money, they could be knighted.

But in this era, those who can obtain a lot of capital and cross classes are obviously capitalists. How can there be new "landlords and tyrants" who become tycoons these days? The strength of the new party is growing day by day.

Now the policy of the Kingdom of Loen is the same as that of Emperor Ling of Han, selling official positions and titles, with clear prices.

If a wealthy businessman buys the corresponding land, for example, the baron title requires a minimum of 600,000 acres of land, and then donates the corresponding gold pounds, 300,000 pounds for a baron, and 700,000 to 1 million pounds for a hereditary baron, he can become a noble, and the rich can participate in the House of Commons as a member of parliament.

Viscounts and earls are actually priced, as long as there is enough money, everything is not a problem.

Of course, this level of money is just a number. For extraordinary people, there is still a chance to buy sequence 5 characteristics with money, and high-sequence formulas and intelligence can also be bought and sold, but the value of the characteristics is basically difficult to convert with gold pounds. It is necessary to barter or use favors/help to convert.

If there are idiots who sell sequence 2 or even sequence 1 characteristics, and even accept paper money, the royal families of various countries that issue currency know that they can use money to exchange for sequence 1, unlimited over-issuance of currency, and temporarily collapse the country's financial system. It is a sure profit.

Anyway, the financial system can be rebuilt later. It is impossible for angels to be pushed to the guillotine by the bottom because of playing with the national currency. That would be too ridiculous.

…

In the house opposite the Darkholm family, the gang leader and informant, Qi Lingos, who had just killed someone, watched Xio and Fors push open the door and slowly walk in.

The black glove on his left palm suddenly wriggled as if it had life, and a layer of dark golden fine scales appeared on the surface - wriggling hunger.

Confirming that the two women were just low-sequence extraordinary people who dared to investigate him without knowing the consequences, Qi Lingos had decided to take action.

On the road between the three people, Gu Meng, who had a low intelligence aura and had no sense of presence, whispered:

"Teleportation is prohibited here, and there is no punishment for violators."

Fors, who sensed the danger, pulled the 1.5-meter-tall Xio, took off a bracelet, pulled off a usable stone on the bracelet, and whispered in ancient Hermes:

"Door!"

She held the 1.5-meter-tall Xio tightly, watching the stone bloom with an illusory light blue. They seemed to have entered a strange world and a transparent and illusory state.

Qi Lingos was stunned for a moment and said to himself, "It's the Traveler?"

Just when he wanted to leave here quickly, he saw that the two women had returned to reality.

"Such a short teleportation?!"x3

Not only Fors and Xio, but even Qi Lingos was very surprised. The ability just now was not fake. How could the Traveler open such a big door and only run so close?

There must be something strange. Qi Lingos did not take action for a while, but remained alert.

At the same time, Fors was pure panic. She was really just a Sequence 9 apprentice.

The magical item in her hand would make her hear some strange and vague whispers every full moon. Every time she used a stone, she could use the spirit world to travel and do something similar to teleportation. It was successful before, but she didn't know why it didn't work this time.

"What should I do?"

Fors felt that this time was really over. She and Xio didn't expect to be so close to Qi Lingos.

To them, Admiral Gale was definitely a great master and they couldn't resist him at all. They originally planned to collect some intelligence, but they didn't expect to meet the real master.

Xio quickly reminded: "Maybe there is something unexpected, use it again!"

"Ah, Ms. Fors, we meet again, you don't seem to be in good condition."

Just when Fors was about to use another teleportation stone, Gu Meng interrupted her:

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the extraordinary item you just used came from the Abraham family... Do you hear mumbling every full moon?"

Gu Meng's tone now is a bit like the sweeping monk in Jin Yong's drama, pointing out that Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo have diseases after practicing the 72 Shaolin skills.

In short, I am a genius doctor and a master, come and listen to me show off.

It was at this time that the three people present realized that there was a living person on the road, but they didn't notice anything!

"Who are you? Mr. Tom?" Because of his impressive appearance, Fors recognized this popular new writer.

Xio didn't know Gu Meng, and had been on guard before. Now he quietly approached Fors, tiptoed and whispered: "Are you familiar with him?"

"No, I'm not familiar with him. He is also an author. We met at the literary salon. But he seems to be Audrey's friend. I didn't expect him to be a Beyonder. I don't know how he got there. Could he be invisible..."

Fors didn't mention the matter of Man Yue's mumbling to make her friends worry, but just briefly explained Gu Meng's identity.

At the same time, as a qualified Storm Pigeon, after observing for a while, Qi Lingos took action!
