Rawls raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Russell had left a lot of good things on that island.
Sharf is so pitiful! He found the island so early, but found nothing. He finally found it, and Bernadette arrived. By the way, what should he call Bernadette? Great-aunt?
After some slander, Rawls looked at Van Estine, who had only one mechanical head left, and said with a smile:
"It seems that fate has already arranged everything."
"The moment my promotion failed, I only felt the ruthlessness of fate..." Van Estine also smiled, and then looked at Bernadette, "What do you need me to do?"
"Teach me how to assemble an 'Alchemy Doll'."
Bernadette's expression was slightly serious. She had only played with the toy dolls her father invented for her when she was a child. They were definitely different from the "alchemy dolls" that really involved the supernatural.
"That requires a lot of parts and materials, all of which need to be processed in advance by a real 'alchemist'..." Astin's eyes swept over the many parts in the laboratory, "It's because I can't do this that I changed
It’s like this.”
"I have the parts and materials, enough to assemble three or four 'Alchemy Dolls'."
Bernadette looked relaxed.
In "Apollo", her father left many spare parts and materials for the "Alchemy Doll", which were used to replace the accessories of the "Alchemy Doll" to deal with extraordinary people of different paths. There are even related sketches.
They are labeled "Anti-Sun", "Anti-Steam", "Anti-Soothsayer" etc.
Then she said to Rawls:
"I need to take him away. It will take at least a week. If I succeed, I will write to you."
"No problem." Rawls nodded immediately, took a step or two back, put his hand on his chest, and bowed slightly, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Before he finished speaking, his figure gradually became transparent and disappeared from the spot.
"Haha, what a nice young man, but I think your father must hate him."
Van Estine blinked, but Bernadette ignored him at all. She just scanned the laboratory and her tone lowered to an unknown degree:
"What else do I need to bring?"
…
After solving the problem of how to make full use of the extraordinary properties in his hands, Rawls felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at the position of the crimson moon above his head, he was not in a hurry to return to Ma Xi.
During this period, with his extraordinary means and political skills, and the addition of Duke Fernandez, the political supporter his grandfather sought for him before he ascended the throne, he quickly eliminated those in the cabinet and successfully brought the war to Highfield.
On the family.
Among them, many of his methods did not comply with the rules of political struggle in the Northern Continent, including intimidation, hypnosis, and channeling. Except for "killing people and exterminating families," he used almost other extraordinary methods.
However, he deliberately controlled the scope of the impact and only used these methods against Ma Xi's politicians who focused on administration, but did not use such methods against scholars and professors in various fields.
He had communicated with Archbishop Bernhard beforehand and was rejected without any surprise, but Rawls directly presented him to His Majesty Pope Albert Mendoza and promised not to cause unrest and not to pay attention to scholars and professors in the Church of Knowledge.
Just take action with the nobles, and after promising that this would be the only time, they gained tacit approval.
With the acquiescence of the Church of Knowledge, it is simply impossible to face Rawls's "unscrupulous" methods with only the Extraordinaries hired by those people and the Extraordinaries of the family themselves.
In just two weeks, he made the nobles who were causing trouble behind his back feel fearful.
Of course, this method can only cure it temporarily. Once any problem arises, the nobles will definitely use some small methods to add trouble to Rawls.
Therefore, while dealing with a group of politicians headed by the cabinet, Rawls also mobilized funds to support the research of scholars and ministers who really hold power. He also increased investment in the education of the junior high school and senior high schools in the Maxi Kingdom, and obtained
Highly appreciated.
With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, Rawls did not take advantage of the situation to pursue the nobles headed by the Highfield family, but took the initiative to retract his fist, making these people fall into worry and fear, not knowing what to do next.
When will the punch come?
He planned to maintain this situation for a period of time, continue to oppress, and finally release goodwill to the Highfield family and truly conquer these nobles.
On the one hand, he has promised his grandfather that he will not take action against his aunt and the Highfield family; on the other hand, these nobles account for almost one-third of the domestic nobles. Before the war is coming, targeting them will only weaken the country's strength.
, it is better to cut off the carrion in war, destroy it and then build it up.
After thinking for a while, Rawls set his sights on the Jowood area, not far from the Bridge area.
…
Above the gray mist, Klein, who appeared as "World", and "Star" Leonard finished talking about Amon's solution to a "parasite" demigod, and also discussed how to deal with Amon's clone that appeared in Backlund.
question.
The final result was that Klein decided to pray for "secret" help, and the specific plan was carried out by Pales Zoroaster.
"Do you know Baron Syndras?"
"Who? Baron Syndras? That big banker?" Leonard was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "He has a problem?"
"I'm not sure..." Klein shook his head, "Tonight, he also attended the dance held by Senator Macht. He should also have noticed Hazel Macht's behavior."
Leonard also recalled that when he returned to Backlund, he heard from his colleagues that Baron Sindras was suspected of kidnapping, which also involved the identity of Klein's Dwayne Dantès. Although the investigation has made it clear that the kidnapping case
It has nothing to do with the big banker, but it still caused widespread discussion.
"Baron Sindras is a believer of the Storm Lord...Aside from this, is there anything else unusual about him?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I felt something was wrong with him at the dance..." Klein touched his chin and then shook his head, "Put this matter aside for now, just Amon will
It’s enough for us to handle.”
He mentioned this matter casually. Unless he was really sure that Baron Sindras had a big problem, there was no need to pay too much attention to this big banker. The other party would not be valued more by the church than Duke Negan and Huo Huo.
Earl of Er is poor.
"Then I'll look back and see if I can investigate. The church asked me to complete the digestion of the 'Requiem Master' potion as soon as possible, so I have been dealing with haunting-related incidents near Backlund, and I have a lot of authority."
Leonard scratched his hair, a little impatient. He was too far behind on the extraordinary road.
Klein nodded, stood up and saluted to the location of the "Light Gate":
"Mr. Fool, we are finished."
…
Jowood District.
Hugh Dilcha, who first arrived at the temporary safe house and returned to his original appearance, was walking on the road. He felt that his head was dizzy, as if it was dotted with a big mountain, and he almost fell to the ground. Even after reaching Sequence 6 "Judge"
During this stage, her physique was improved again, but she still couldn't avoid mental fatigue.
Her boss, Brigadier General Jordi, no, he is now a major general. With his business trip to the Southern Continent, he gained merit. Not only was his military rank further promoted, but he also successfully became the eighth deputy director of MI9, the "Church Comprehensive Affairs Processing Team"
"It also got rid of the embarrassment of being inferior to other groups.
His status has been improved. As a person trusted by Major General Jordi, Xio has naturally been promoted. From team leader to being able to manage several teams, and then to deputy team leader, he is already considered a high-level member of MI9. This is also
It means she is busier.
It has been almost three months since she was promoted to "Judge", but she has not made much progress in digestion. In the early days, due to the low status of her team, it was difficult to get acting opportunities in the "Abnormal Affairs Court". Later, she was busy with work and could not spare time.
When his boss, Major General Jordi, became the deputy director, Hugh had more opportunities to play the role. From time to time, he would go to the "Abnormal Affairs Court". But there was too much work today and it was difficult to cancel the court trial, so he had to bite the bullet.
When she went to perform, she happened to meet a "scammer" who could speak well. Her words made her dizzy and she almost believed the other person's lies.
Xio yawned, walked around the corner, and suddenly shivered. His green eyes glanced at the figure leaning on the lamppost diagonally opposite, and he took out a dagger from his waist. The blade shone fluorescent green in the dimness.
point.
This is one of the benefits of MI9. The weapons made by "craftsmen" are not extraordinary items, but they have no negative effects.
But after seeing the man's face, the dagger in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Jeffrey Lister!
The guy who asked her to join MI9 and provided her with the formula and properties of the potion appeared again.
Just when she was stunned, Rawls had already appeared two or three steps in front of her, glanced at the dagger, and chuckled:
"It seems that MI9 is treating you well."
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Xio quickly hid the dagger back on his waist, his voice trembling.
"Of course, I don't have that much time to chat with you..." Rawls pointed to the alley in front of him with his chin and walked forward, "Follow me."
Xio followed behind with a feeling of apprehension.
Ever since she was "arranged" to join MI9, she has been speculating on Jeffrey's purpose, from passing information on behalf of the other party, to stealing secrets, and even using this identity to assassinate an important person. But except for the early days when she passed on information
Besides, she did almost nothing after that. Not only that, the other party also provided her with formulas and potion materials.
Although when communicating with colleagues in the counterintelligence team, he learned that some spies would remain hidden for more than ten years, but for Xio, this process was really torturous.
But when Jeffrey really found himself, although Xio felt as if his boot had landed, this was only the first boot, and the second boot had not yet landed!
For Rawls, the reason for using this change is naturally that Xio has no effect on him. At first, he let Xio join MI9, naturally with the idea of passing on inside information. Later, this
It became the basis for his role as a member of MI9 in the Tarot Club.
But after he subdued Sirte, the director of Intelligence 9, Xio could no longer play a role and could only be used as a free chess piece, who might come in handy at some point.
Now, it's time for this free chess piece to come into play.
"Jordi was promoted to deputy director. You should have been promoted as well. What have you been doing recently?" Rawls leaned against the wall, his eyelids drooping.
Xio was not surprised that Jeffrey knew about her boss's promotion. She and Forsi had long speculated that the other party should represent a certain noble. The two also speculated whether it was the dead Prince Charlie, so
It can also explain why the other party has been silent recently.
"I have been cooperating with the intelligence team recently. The naval battle at the edge of the Raging Sea led to the fall of the 'Immortal King' Agaritu, which changed the situation at sea. However, the pirates' news was transmitted very slowly, and it has not caused any larger problems for the time being.
mess.
"Although the chaos caused by the disappearance of Count Lafitte, the commander of the 'Legion of Conquerors' in the Southern Continent, was quickly quelled, the impact is not over yet. Unrest in the Intis colony occurred frequently, from local conflicts to small-scale wars, and they continued to break out.
Some cities have changed rulers several times a week. Intelligence teams are overwhelmed and are asking for our assistance..."
When talking about recent work, Xio's nervousness eased and he began to talk endlessly.
"...According to the intelligence team's judgment and the meetings I participated in, it is believed that although the civil strife of the 'Conqueror Legion' calmed down quickly, it will definitely have a more profound impact on the already turbulent Intis situation.
, the possibility of a recurrence of the Emperor Russell incident cannot be ruled out."
Well, next time, let Selt send over information about Intis... Rawls nodded invisibly. Although Selt provided a lot of information, the focus has always been on Loen's internal affairs or MI9.
It works internally and rarely involves foreign situations.
But for the identity of King Rawls Maxi, Intis's information is still useful. After all, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is hostile to the Eternal Sun, and Intis's problem is likely to trigger a chain reaction.
Although Ma Xi also has an agency similar to MI9, the nature of a small country and the restrictions on the king make Rawls can only use them as a "Gestapo", which is the kind of level where development is impossible even if it wants to.
.
When Xio finished his story and looked at Rawls slightly uneasily, he stopped focusing on the current matter. He pinched his eyebrows and said in appreciation:
"Not bad. If you keep up, you should be able to become the deputy team leader."
Xio said nothing and stared straight at Rawls.
"Haha, don't be so nervous. I'm looking for you this time to give you a reward. You should be happy."
"Reward?"
Xio's eyes widened, she didn't do anything, how could she be rewarded?
Could it be... Thinking of this, Xio's heart was beating fast.
