Chapter 550: Insight x Decision

"Of course it's like this everywhere!" Lillian said without hesitation.

"Really?" Gion was a little skeptical.

She couldn't imagine how much manpower and resources this would require.

Seeing that Gion was not doing well, Lillian said, "Then let's go somewhere farther away tomorrow."

"Okay! Okay!" Lilia agreed repeatedly.

Gion was surprised and asked, "Oh~, Xia Jieren is willing to let you go on a long journey? Isn't he afraid that you will encounter danger?"

"Hehe~, the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] is Lord Jerren's territory, how could it be in danger?" Lilia said with a smile.

"That's right! The Kingdom of the Netherlands is the safest place." Lillian's words were full of pride.

"Okay then!" Now that things have come to this, Gion has no objection.

Rather than being locked up in the [palace], she wanted to go out for a walk.

Of course, it would be even better if you could take the opportunity to escape.

Gion's eyes flickered slightly for a few times, but he quickly regained his composure.

As if she had guessed Gion's thoughts, Lillian warned: "By the way... Sister Gion... When you are outside, you'd better not try to escape."

"The entire territory of the [Netherlands Kingdom] is under the control of Lord Jerren. You can't escape."

"If you are caught while running away, Master Jeren will definitely punish you."

Gion didn't care about Lillian's warning, but when he heard the word "punishment", his cheeks immediately turned red, as if he thought of some shameful memories.

Gion quickly calmed himself down and waved his hand, saying, "You think too much. How could I run away? Anyway, I will only stay for half a month. Xia Jieren promised to let me go after half a month. I won't do anything unnecessary."

"That's better!" Lillian glanced at Gion with a smile.

"He will be released in half a month... in half a month. You actually believe this nonsense." Lillian complained secretly.

Having been with Xia Jieren for so long, Lillian is very familiar with Xia Jieren's personality.

Xia Jieren would never go back on his word as he promised to stay for half a month, but before Gion left, he would definitely leave something behind.

The three women continued to sip tea leisurely and chat about some meaningless topics.

In the blink of an eye, the three girls from Gion had already been wandering around the Kingdom of the Netherlands for more than a week without realizing it.

During this period, Gion fully witnessed the prosperity of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The well-developed transportation system enabled her to cover most of the [West Sea] in just one week.

The sea train speeding on the sea, the airship flying in the sky, the steamship riding the waves on the sea, all of these made her dazzled.

The [World Government] is truly no match for the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

This is the truest thought in Gion's heart.

During the journey, what shocked Gion the most was the warlike spirit of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They were so eager to fight that it was no exaggeration to say that they were happy to hear about war.

Gion did not hide his surprise at all, and it was completely revealed on his face.

Upon seeing this, Lillian enthusiastically explained to him the merit exchange system of the [Netherlands Kingdom].

In short, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is dominated by Xia Jieren, and does not allow the existence of hereditary nobles other than the royal family. However, it allows the existence of meritorious nobles.

The so-called meritorious nobles are those who have made outstanding contributions to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Their contributions will be materialized and converted into merit points. When their merit points reach a certain level, they will automatically become meritorious nobles and be respected.

After hearing the explanation, Gion was shocked.

In today's world, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Kingdom of the Netherlands' actions are extremely outrageous.

"No wonder...the Celestial Dragons and those kingdom nobles are so angry." At this time, Gion also figured out many things.

Suddenly, a secret expectation emerged in Gion's heart.

She... wanted to see what the world would look like after the [Netherlands Kingdom] took control of the world.

Once this outrageous idea came into being, it took root deep in Gion's mind.

After a brief stay in the former Flower Country, now known as Flower County, Gion and his companions set off again.

time flies.

We ended our trip to Gion early and returned to the Imperial Palace.

When he saw Xia Jieren again, Gion had a very complicated expression.

Thinking that Xia Jieren had built such a prosperous country at such a young age, Gion looked at Xia Jieren with admiration in his eyes.

However, when she thought about what Xia Jieren had done to her, she felt ashamed and angry, and her thighs suddenly felt itchy.

Seeing the person coming, Xia Jieren was a little surprised: "Why are you back so early? There is still a week left before the agreed time."

"I've seen everything I should have seen!" Gion replied indifferently.

At first, whenever Gion arrived at a place, he would travel around and observe, trying to find the dark side or shortcomings of the [Netherlands Kingdom] in order to slap Xia Jieren in the face.

But she was disappointed!

[Kingdom of the Netherlands] is thriving and full of positive energy.

After that, she quickened her pace.

After arriving at a new place, he would directly use [Observation Haki] to scan the area and roughly sense the emotions of the people.

Gion was gradually infected by those vague emotional feedbacks.

She kept a calm mind and carefully observed the advantages and various policies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, hoping that this knowledge could help the navy.

"Yeah!" Xia Jieren nodded slightly without asking her what she thought.

no need!

Xia Jieren believed that it would be impossible for any righteous navy to have no thoughts in their mind when seeing the lives of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Xia Jieren asked with a smile: "What are your plans next? Go back early, or..."

"You want to drive me away!" Gion frowned slightly and said unhappily.

After saying this, she suddenly felt a little regretful and blamed herself: "I...how could I say such a thing."

"Of course not!" Xia Jieren shook his head like a rattle, "Aren't I asking for your opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Gion's expression relaxed slightly. She put her finger on her chin and thought seriously.

Soon, she made a decision: "This is a rare opportunity. I decided to take a good rest in the [Netherlands Kingdom] for a while."

"It seems that every worker will not miss the opportunity to slack off!" Xia Jieren thought with amusement.

Xia Jieren had no objection to Gion's decision, as she was always tolerant of beautiful women.

Over the next period of time, Gion began to integrate into the lives of Xia Jieren and others.

Gion behaved quite familiarly, which was seriously inconsistent with her image of an unattainable naval goddess.

When Litt and Robin saw Gion, they understood everything instantly.

Litte glanced at Xia Jieren with a smile, and secretly made up her mind to squeeze Xia Jieren dry.

For several days in a row, Robin treated Xia Jieren coldly whenever he saw him, and he almost said, "I'm very angry, come and comfort me."
