After the big commotion in Jiulingdun, Su Lun and Mr. Jing were not in a hurry to leave, and stayed for a few more days.
As they expected, those from the Imperial Military Intelligence Department responded quickly. Just a few hours after the incident broke out, Governor Hunter from the Governor's Mansion was urgently recalled to Rington to assist in the investigation.
No one can take the blame for collaborating with the enemy to build a teleportation array, not even Master Merlin.
Therefore, the senior officials of the Governor's Mansion did not dare to delay at all and left by boat that day.
I don’t know where the warships came from to temporarily take over the defense of Old Lingtown.
Su Lun and Mr. Jing ate and drank leisurely in the city, and then went to the "Akun's Soup Room" where they used to go to take a bath, which was quite leisurely.
I finally made a trip back to Old Town. I don’t know when I’ll come back next time.
But it's not all idle time, because Mr. Jing's injuries are still not fully healed, and the fusion of the Blood Ancestor's bloodline will also take some time, so there is no rush to leave now.
The rich dark spiritual power of Jiulingdun was the most suitable training environment for the two of them.
In addition, Su Lun also wanted to clear out the believers of gods lurking in Old Lingdun to avoid future troubles.
Without the two biggest obstacles, the Governor's Mansion and the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce, intelligence investigation will be much easier.
Su Lun entrusted the Cross Society with the lists of people who had been harvested before, and it took almost no effort to find a few key figures.
He took action himself, and the Death Reaper's ability was perfect for cutting weeds and eradicating the roots.
If you grab a vine, you can often pull out a pile of sweet potatoes hidden in the soil, just like pulling out sweet potatoes.
Within a few days, hundreds more people were killed.
The believers, spies, speculators and those related to the plane of gods have finally been eliminated.
A few days later, a large force from the United Empire and a temporary governor also arrived at Old Lington.
Su Lun still had the impression from the previous wedding that this was a knight general of the Lance family and a direct descendant of Ekaterina.
He was relieved.
And when Su Lun made a big fuss in Old Lingdun, all the forces in the United Empire were notified immediately.
No. 15 Shenghui Avenue, the residence of Merlin Gregory, the first enshrinement of the palace.
In the secret meeting room, the nobles of the old school also met urgently to deal with emergencies coming from Old Lingdun.
"Master Merlin, all the people from the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce who are involved with us have been sent to deal with them. Others, the people 'over there' are also stepping up their efforts to deal with them. They should not leave any clues to those from the Military Intelligence Department."
"This matter has nothing to do with us in the first place. Even if there is an investigation, it will not have much impact on us. However, I am afraid that the position of Governor of Old Lington will not be saved this time."
"Don't worry. Master Merlin is here. If you take it back now, you will definitely pay it back twice as much in the future."
"."
This group of old nobles were not in a hurry, and the atmosphere of the meeting was not tense.
They got the news ahead of the royal family and made arrangements one step ahead.
They did learn something about the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce's secret transportation of magicians to Old Lingtown from various parties, but these cunning old foxes had long known that the matter was sensitive and had not been directly involved in the first place. They just turned a blind eye.
tacit approval.
The people involved were dealt with immediately, and they were confident that they didn't leave any clues that could be used against them.
So even if you go to the Imperial Court, there is no actual evidence to prove that this matter has anything to do with them.
No one can touch them.
As for the control of Old Lington, it will be possible to get it back sooner or later.
"Hey, you said that even our people didn't find it, so how did the people from the Dawn Organization find those magicians?"
"The Dawn Organization came from Old Lingdun. They should still have some people there, so it wouldn't be surprising to find them. The tricky thing is, if those guys really insist on persisting, they will have a big impact on us.
"
"Yes, the Dawn Organization is not weak, and it is not subject to official restrictions. If we really have to use assassination methods or something, I'm sure it will be a big trouble for us."
"There is also 'Fike Regadi'. That person's identity is also very difficult."
"."
These old nobles had used their lost noble rights to gain their current positions. They were not afraid of official trials, but were afraid of neutral organizations like the Dawn Organization that were not under the control of the empire.
After all, the leader of that organization is a ninth-level professional.
Moreover, he was recently ambushed and severely injured.
Around the round table, candlelight showed several old faces of vultures.
At this time, someone else said: "Another piece of news is that recently, people at auction houses, the Full Moon Ball, and the black market have posted high-priced rewards to find high-level treasures that can cure Holy Light injuries. And there are clues that the royal family also has some
People are looking for it.”
Upon hearing this, several people in the room almost immediately knew what it meant.
"She must be looking for healing treasures for that 'Mr. Mirror'. This also shows that her injuries are definitely not serious."
"I think what happened in Jiulingdun this time is probably just a revenge of the Dawn Organization. When Mr. Mirror was attacked last time, she might have guessed that the intelligence was leaked. From the current point of view, this matter
She will definitely not give up."
"It's a pity that we couldn't kill her last time, which left a big hidden danger. If we really have to wait for her to recover from her injuries, it would be a great threat to us."
"There is news from 'over there', and it is almost confirmed that the 'Mr. Mirror' is no longer in the territory of Marfa. We suspect that she may be healing somewhere, or secretly returned to the territory of Luying, or even in Jiulingdun
The thing is that she went there in person. Maybe she will return to Lington one day."
"This way, they will not be able to succeed. We feel that they are offering a reward, so we are also offering a reward!"
"It would be great if this problem could be solved completely."
"."
When it comes to the leader of the Dawn Organization, even Master Merlin, who sits at the top, looks cautious.
No one dares to underestimate a ninth-level person, even if he is severely injured.
Those who can threaten the ninth level can only be the ninth level.
Whether it is in terms of strength or power and status.
At this time, someone suddenly said: "My Andre family treasure house has a forbidden object that has been collected for five hundred years, which can just cure the injury of the Holy Light. Do you think we can take the initiative to release some news? If we can know that Dawn
With the whereabouts of the leader, maybe there is a chance to completely solve this problem?"
Hearing this, even Master Merlin's eyes lit up and he said to himself: "I'm afraid it won't be easy."
There was a coldness in his eyes for a moment, but then he said: "But you can give it a try."
A few days later, the west coast of Luying.
All cruise ships from Jiulindun to Luying are under control, and Su Lun and Mr. Jing can still only teleport here.
The imperial capital of Linton, this city shrouded in fog all year round, is much more spectacular than when I left it.
The major ports are full of warships coming in and out. There are artillery positions as dense as hedgehogs on the coast. There are also large and small floating steam airships floating in the sky. There are also submarines going back and forth in the invisible sea.
patrol.
With these military measures, almost the entire city is guarded watertight, and the possibility of sneaking over is almost zero.
On the sea, two figures stood there.
Su Lun hadn't been back to Lington for a long time. When he saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a big change."
In the vision shared by Black Crow, he saw most of the city in the hazy fog.
After the Plane War began, a large number of people and industries migrated from the Marfa Empire. Looking at it, the city's area has expanded several times, turning it into a super giant city.
The core urban area is the former Ringtown. The former suburbs now have high-rise buildings, dense industrial factories and residential areas, and there are defensive walls under construction.
Mr. Jing has also been on the Marfa front line and hasn't been back for a long time.
Although she knew that Lingdun had changed a lot, she also lamented: "That Miss Ekaterina is indeed an emperor. She was able to merge the two originally hostile empires into this state in such a short period of time. No one else can."
Doing better than her."
Su Lun listened and felt that it made sense.
Not everyone can be the emperor.
It was like he was asked to fight, and he felt that he was okay.
But he doesn't have the ability to govern such a large, intrigue-filled empire.
Without saying much, the two teleported again and appeared in a secret warehouse somewhere on the dock.
There has been a black steam locomotive waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Su Lun and Mr. Jing appearing out of thin air, the cloaked man who had been waiting by the car door immediately lifted his cloak, revealing a head of fiery red hair.
If not Sabina, who is she?
After Mr. Black ventured out of Rington with the Dawn Regiment, she is now the top intelligence leader of the Mirror Organization.
Seeing Mr. Mirror coming, Sabina bowed respectfully and said: "Hello, chief. Hello, sir."
Under the cloak, she was wearing a very smart women's suit, but her proud figure could not be concealed.
Mr. Jing nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
But not everyone can remain calm in front of the leader of the mirror organization, the ninth-level powerhouse. Even Sabina felt an invisible sense of oppression.
After hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and did not dare to look directly at Mr. Jing. However, she glanced at Su Lun beside her from the corner of her eye, and her beautiful eyes flashed.
They looked at each other and it seemed like they didn't say anything, but they seemed to say something more.
Su Lun looked at the succubus maid he hadn't seen for a long time and responded helplessly.
He didn't notice that she had become stronger again, and muttered in his heart: "She's already reached level six, which is pretty good."
Being able to advance so quickly is obviously not only due to the environment and resources, Sabina herself must also have worked very hard to practice.
Su Lun opened the car door for Mr. Jing in a very gentlemanly manner.
The three of them got into the car.
In order to maintain absolute confidentiality, Sabina didn't even bring a driver, she sat in the driver's seat herself.
After getting on the car, Sabina started the motorcycle skillfully. One was the owner and the other was the leader. She did not feel wronged at all.
Sabina reported while driving: "Chief, everything has been arranged according to your instructions. The situation in Linton is very complicated now, and the intelligence collected so far is in the folder on your left hand."
Su Lun opened the brown paper bag and looked through the information with Mr. Jing.
At the same time, Sabina also reported: "The Narwhal Chamber of Commerce has been completely disintegrated, and key personnel were silenced by unknown forces before the Military Intelligence Agency. The believers of the 'Tianmu Sect' in Lingdun have also been almost wiped out. According to your instructions,
I specially communicated with the Military Intelligence Department and left a few guys who were hiding deeply."
"The level of control in the city of Rington is very high now. If you stay in a hotel, you will definitely be noticed by people from the Military Intelligence Department. So I will arrange for you to go to my apartment later. Those guys from the old school should have suspected that I am in Rington.
I’m pretending to be a member of the Mirror Organization, so I have a plan, I plan to expose this identity, and then the enemy will be able to follow my line to find out.”
"."
Mr. Jing nodded from time to time and did not raise any objections.
Su Lun looked at the information with a normal expression throughout.
He and Sabina have been together for a long time, and he doesn't know that his maid never needs him to worry about her work.
Sabina is the best intelligence officer, and she will complete everything she arranges perfectly.
As for those plans to lure the enemy, Su Lun analyzed all the clues in her mind and felt that there was no better plan than the one she had drawn up.
In this way, the locomotive drove all the way into the urban area of Linton.
They need to leave some necessary traces to give certain enemies clues for investigation.
Su Lun also observed along the way.
He found that the flow of people on the streets of Linton City was several times denser than before.
Not only has the population increased, but the clothing and mental outlook of pedestrians have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, most of the people walking on the streets were workers, newsboys, shoemakers and vagabonds. Their clothes and expressions were as lifeless as the fog in Linton.
Even motorcycles are only the exclusive rights of the nobility.
But it's different now.
Motorcycles are everywhere on the streets. Although the clothes of ordinary people are not too flashy, they are still warm enough, and their complexions are rosy and shiny, not the malnourished dishes before.
It feels like the entire city's economy has suddenly grown by leaps and bounds over the past few decades.
Sabina seemed to also notice the surprise of Su Lun and Mr. Jing, she smiled slightly and said: "The methods of Her Majesty the Empress are really admirable~"
Mr. Jing looked slightly sideways, obviously also interested in listening.
Su Lun motioned for her to continue: "Oh?"
Sabina then added: "After the establishment of the United Empire, she not only conquered all forces in a short time with extremely clever skills. She also fought against all opinions, removed a group of old guys with stubborn ideas, and decisively promoted
With Marfa's mechanical technology, it liberated industries that require intensive labor, such as agriculture and most manufacturing industries. It also used the excellent seeds that the Royal Academy had long studied on a large scale, creating miracles of harvests several seasons a year.
Today's United Empire has a skyrocketing population, but there is no shortage of food. All factories and everyone are preparing for frontline battles. As long as people are willing to work and join the army, there will be no hunger in today's Luying."
As she spoke, she could not hide the admiration in her tone: "Many people are very surprised. It was clear that wars in the past would have devastated people and made it difficult for people at the bottom. But the facts today are the opposite. Everyone unexpectedly found that life is not better than before.
Bad, but better. As you can see, the support rate of the current empress in Lington and even the civilian class of the entire empire is very high, and the cohesion of the people is also very strong. Once all the policies are implemented, there is almost no
If there are obstacles, a large number of people will respond actively. Urban construction and military manufacturing will naturally operate efficiently."
Although he only briefly introduced the changes in Lingdun, Su Lun saw the strong control and macro-planning ability of the planner.
And while they were chatting, Sabina suddenly said: "Chief, sir, have you paid attention to the best buildings on the street?"
Naturally, the two of them saw each other very early.
In almost every neighborhood, there must be a small entry-level alchemy academy;
Then every few blocks, there is an intermediate alchemy academy;
A big city must have a higher alchemy academy
This kind of dense academy was something that was never seen in Linton before.
In the past, alchemy knowledge was exclusive to nobles, and even some low-level private academies were not open to ordinary children.
"Yes, that is the Alchemy Academy!"
Sabina added: "Her Majesty the Empress once publicly said in a newspaper that the best newly built building in the city must be the Alchemy Academy. This is the cornerstone of civilization and a national policy that will not be shaken for hundreds of years. This not only makes
Everyone in the empire has access to alchemical knowledge, and these alchemy schools will also be the last level of fortress during future wars."
When Su Lun heard this, he felt it sounded a bit familiar.
The visions of some far-sighted politicians are always surprisingly similar.
In the past, the best buildings on the block must have been the private residences of nobles. Now it is the Alchemy Academy, an academy where everyone can learn knowledge.
This is a fundamental difference in the system.
Mr. Jing on the side listened carefully, but for the first time, a strange color flashed across his expression.
How similar is this idea to hers?
She just didn't expect that the national alchemy reform that had not been completed a thousand years ago would now be fully implemented in the United Empire?
Only by promoting basic education coverage can more alchemy talents be screened out.
Only when the base is large enough, those with hidden talents and rare talents will have a chance to stand out and finally stand at the height they should be.
Just this national policy is of great significance to the increase of the empire’s national power!
In the past, under the aristocratic autocratic system of the Luying Empire, only one in a thousand or one in ten thousand people could systematically learn alchemy knowledge.
Now that it is fully open, it means that there will be a thousand or ten thousand times more alchemy professionals in an instant.
Even because the upper limit of plane law is raised, there will be more and more top professionals.
This has very profound and positive significance for the plane and civilization.
As Mr. Jing listened, he looked at the buildings and people passing quickly on both sides of the street. His eyes gradually deepened and he fell into deep thinking.
Because Mr. Mirror, the leader, was present, Sabina always behaved very seriously, with a serious expression on her face throughout the whole process, as if she was reporting on business matters.
The steam locomotive drove to the city, and Su Lun got off the train halfway.
Mr. Jing wants to be a "bait" and show his face everywhere, so naturally he can't go along with him.
Naturally, you can't go to the hotel, and Sabina has already arranged a place to stay.
Looking at the key in the document bag, Su Lun didn't recognize that it was the apartment of rich woman Reina on the banks of the Locovalen River.
He looked at the key, smiled slightly, and walked along the river towards the apartment.
Being familiar with the roads, he walked up the iron stairs to the door of the apartment.
Su Lun knew there was someone in the house, and just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, and a gentle and delicate body jumped into his arms.
But it was Reina who welcomed her warmly, "Mr. Su Lun, long time no see~"
Su Lun held the delicate body in his arms and smiled slightly: "Well, long time no see."
