As a result, the Romans not only exiled him, but also actually let him leave the border
My turtle, even the most primitive barbarians should know the importance of imprisoning or killing such capable people on the spot? How come you are acting worse than barbarians
Could it be that you are not as strong as we thought
Amidst all kinds of wild thoughts, Black Dragonia turned on the magic mirror and waited for the confirmation of the President's wife.
Soon, the image of Miss President appeared in the mirror—today she seemed to find the older sister with a beautiful figure not so interesting, so she turned herself into a twelve-year-old girl.
The president's daughter, who had lived for a hundred years but was still playful, looked at the black dragon nervously. After confirming that the black dragon was feeling better, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"I was really scared when the commander told me that you were seriously injured and hadn't contacted me for a while... I didn't expect that the Alessians had developed to the point of metal warships like us."
"Yes. Not only metal warships, I suspect these pirates - never mind, these regular navies should already have powerful enough factories in their own countries... Compared to this, Miss President, I found the Regent here."
"Yeah, so—wait, what did you say?"
The time on the other side of the mirror suddenly fell into silence. Hei Long could hear the crisp sound of a wine glass smashing on the ground, and the panicked screams of some maids shouting something like "Mr. President, your clothes!"
"You'd better not go directly to the meeting room in tattered clothes - maybe you don't care, but at least consider the maid's feelings."
Black Dragon's kind reminder calmed down the president's daughter who disappeared in the mirror.
Then she appeared in the mirror again. She no longer had the face of a twelve-year-old child, but the mature appearance of a girl in her twenties.
When vampires change their appearance, they also change their body shape. So Black Dragon quickly imagined the image of the president's daughter growing up in an instant, running in the corridor with ragged clothes and leaking air everywhere.
She was amused by the funny scene, but after a few laughs, the pain from the wound turned her smile into pain.
She coughed twice in pain, and at this moment, the words of the President's daughter once again reached Nia's ears:
"I was planning to have the navy send a large fleet to pick you up - but think about it, have you really met the regent?"
"No... ahem, no. I just found his location. He is no longer in the Roman Empire. He seems to be in the forest north of the Roman Empire now, serving as the regent of the Elf Kingdom of Caparia."
"No, the regent can still - wait? Did the Romans really abandon their regent? I thought what the fleet commander said was just a small probability speculation."
"It looks like it now."
"Then we can bring forward our invasion... No, that's not possible. It will take some time to adapt to the new rifles after they are put into service... We still have to follow the old plan."
The president's casual words almost accelerated Isgard's invasion plan.
However, considering the speed at which new weapons were being deployed, the president's daughter calmly gave up in the end.
After all, this would seriously disrupt the generals' plans. She knew that she was in a high position and that a single word could make the hard work of countless people go to waste - so she had to be careful with every order she issued.
Her calmness was not only the calmness of Ishugard, but also made Black Dragonia extremely grateful.
Then they had a serious discussion about the Regent.
During this period, Black Dragonia blatantly applied to the President's daughter for permission to "invite people to come for talks directly, and then kidnap them back to the country directly." However, after thinking for a long time, the President's daughter refused with the reason that "the sea is not safe now."
"Even if you kidnap him, our fleet may not be able to reach the coast of Elusia within two months. Even if we do, we may not be able to bring him back safely amid the harassment of the Alessian pirates. There is no way—"
"Why not just use your vampire charm?"
Black Dragon's curiosity kept Miss President silent for a long time.
Then the vampire said angrily, "She has never used this ability, so we don't even know if it has the desired use." And the topic of kidnapping ended just like that.
Since they can't bring the person back, they should at least reach a deal with the regent.
After all, Nia said that the Regent has the core technology of the steam factory that Ishgard has longed for.
But in order to save Nia, the advance team has traded a new rifle, some ammunition, and some muzzle-loading rifles with the elves.
Under such circumstances, the elves still hope to exchange the core technology of the steam factory for another new rifle... It is hard not to think of something sensitive.
"They want to directly copy our weapons - after all, copying is always easier than starting from scratch." Nia gave her own speculation, "That shrewd regent is unlikely to trade with us using real technology - he will indeed give us the core technology of the steam plant, but based on my understanding of him, he is likely to "shrink" the core technology."
"Haven't you only met him once? Are you so confident?"
"Perhaps this is what it means to meet a bosom friend in a foreign land. In short, if the normal production efficiency of a steam factory is 100%, the Regent will probably give us technology with an efficiency of 80 or even 50 for trading.
Ms. President, I will accept this deal, but I hope that domestic scientists can make the corresponding preparations as soon as possible. There is no way to return to 100, but at least we must ensure 80% efficiency. "
"I will do that. But Nia, it would be a waste just to make such a deal... It is conceivable that with the help of the Regent, the national strength of the elves who can perform magical treatment on you will definitely increase significantly... It may take us decades to colonize the Roman Empire."
"you mean?"
"In the short term, we can't snatch him away. So on the other hand, we must ensure an alliance with the elves and conduct trade and technological exchanges.
Then, after we gain a foothold in Elucia, absorb the blood and flesh of the Roman Empire, and turn them into our army... we will find a way to snatch them away."
Anyway, a long-lived elf would definitely find a way to make a high-quality human also live longer, right
Having said that, the magic mirror stopped working due to lack of magic power.
Black Dragonia just sat on the bed and thought.
"At least we need to ensure the "covenant" between the Elven Kingdom and Ishgard...?"
Nia was thoughtful.
I don't know if allowing a black dragon to settle in the capital of the Elf Kingdom is a good condition for forming an alliance.
…
This afternoon, the parish is carrying out intensive soldier training.
Bishop Stephen was not attracted by the boy's beauty today.
Because he found that the money was not enough.
"well… "
One thing that must be mentioned here is that the bishop’s money was separate from the money for the northern expedition.
Although it was true that Bishop Stephen took about 60% of the funds from the budget treasury for the northern expedition, but it had already gone into his pocket and naturally was not counted as expedition expenses.
Naturally, he now suddenly discovered that the parish seemed to have no money for the expedition.
"This is a real headache."
It is naturally impossible to take out the money that has entered your pocket.
But it is fine to go on an expedition, even if the main purpose is to send the surplus population away and let them die on the battlefield so that the parish can make money -
A considerable amount of funds will definitely be needed for expenses in the initial stage. Otherwise, let alone letting the believers die, even asking them to march ten kilometers may not be able to bear it, let alone entering the Monster Forest and attacking the Elves' Forest directly
Oh no! Do I really have to take out the money from my own pocket and waste it on a bunch of untouchables who are destined to die at the hands of the elves, and even their corpses will be used as food
Bishop Stephen was quite distressed, but his attendants were already used to it. After all, this was the case for all classes above the priest level in St. Petersburg.
Everyone likes to take the opportunity to put something in their pocket, and everyone hates taking things out of their pocket and putting them back.
But after all, this northern expedition still needs to have stable funds before it can go on, so after thinking for a while, the attendant came up with an idea that shocked Bishop Stephen:
“Sir, I once saw farmers playing a game called ‘bug fighting’ with a few rice stalks during the slack season in the countryside.
Basically, two bugs are eating each other on the ground, and people support one of them.
If a bug wins, the party supporting the loser has to hand over the rice straw to the winner.
And somehow, this little game is so addictive that people can't stop playing it, and they can even pull out all the surrounding rice stalks in an afternoon.
So I thought... during this drought, when the peasants, nobles, and townspeople can't get entertainment outside, and people are restless... why don't we improve it?"
The attendant gestured with his hand.
"We can capture the aliens in the Monster Forest and send them to some closed places for a life-and-death fight. Then, based on this, we can develop a new generation of 'fighting insects' to earn money!"
"What do you mean?"
Bishop Stephen was confused at first, but when he heard that he could make money, he became alert and asked more questions.
The servant gestured with his fingers on the table: When fighting insects, farmers use rice straw to trade. These things are easy to find, so they won’t feel bad even if they throw them all away. Naturally, they won’t care too much about gains and losses, and just treat it as a form of entertainment.
But what if our "Demon Fighters" can only trade with coins or valuable items, and the parish only charges a 10% brokerage fee, leaving the remaining 90% of the wealth to the people who come to play
“Because the trading items have changed from rice stalks to money, which has become a real currency, naturally this game will become extra exciting.
And because they can actually get a huge amount of money from others that they don’t know how many days they have to save, this will definitely boost their enthusiasm. They will play for several days, even more than ten days, until they have put all their family’s property into it, and they will not give up such a game...
No, even if they have nothing at all, they will still put their capital for a comeback on this kind of game: just like when they are "fighting insects", there will always be people who have piles of rice stalks around them, and when they are "fighting demons", there will definitely be people who will gain mountains of wealth!
This is too attractive to the poor and untouchables. They will envy those who make a lot of money, laugh at those who lose money, and use their remaining brains to figure out "how to choose a stronger demon", just like the idle farmers during the slack season...
They will spend tens of thousands of dollars in the game we created, and these people who come from afar are bound to need food, drink, defecation and urination. By then, we can even create a new commercial capital in the parish with the "Demon Fighting Clan" as its core.
We only need to provide a safe place for some demons who have conducted countless researches to fight each other, and we can obtain countless wealth at the lowest cost.
We can even place bets secretly... After all, we provided the venue and the demons. We deliberately made some of them strong to give them hope of winning. Then, when people were betting on the strong demons, we deliberately bet on the weak demons... Wouldn't this make a lot of money at once? In this way, wouldn't we not have to worry about the money for the northern expedition
We can create a new "gold mountain" to attract wealth directly in the parish!"
The attendant's passionate statement made Bishop Stephen's eyes flash with greedy golden light.
Indeed, this is indeed a mountain of gold and silver that no one has ever touched.
Wouldn't it be a waste if I just gave up like this
"Notify Patriarch Peter that we need to hold a synod immediately! Immediately!"
He ordered his attendants to quickly call the bishops and Patriarch Peter to a meeting. After all, this was a serious matter, and there was too much money to be made - and only a fool would hold so much money in his arms and arouse jealousy.
It would be better for everyone to make money together and then unite as one. In this way, not only will the "Fighting Demon Clan" be established in the diocese, Bishop Stephen can open this new industry throughout the Roman Empire!
What will happen to those people who have become penniless because of the "Fighting Demon Clan"
None of his business...
