Extraordinary Sailing

call--

Queen Isabella, who has always been calm and calm, stood up abruptly regardless of the king's demeanor. Even because he got up too fast, the mighty power of the great knight suddenly set off a gust of wind in the study.

The pages of the book on the table were blown into the air and scattered all over the ground.

Sitting next to her, even Liwena, who had been impressed by Aiwen's wizard talent several times, stared wide-eyed, and it seemed as if she was in a dream. Originally thought that Ai Wen came so fast because he happened to be on the way when he sent the letter.

But he didn't dare to think that he might still be far away when he received the message from the spirit world.

immediately.

The queen has realized her gaffe, lightly smoothed the golden-red hair hanging by her ear, restored her former graceful posture, and looked at the think tank members present:

"Dear advisors, today's meeting is here for the time being, and I will go back and sort out my thoughts before continuing the discussion tomorrow.

In addition, everything seen here is top secret, and no one is allowed to disclose it to the outside world, understand? "

When she said the last sentence, a stern expression appeared on Queen Isabella's face, and the heavy majesty on her body made her almost breathless.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although the consultants of the think tank have the aloofness of scholars, they also know what is the priority.

There is another high-ranking wizard in the kingdom outside of Princeton. This is a nuclear deterrent force, and its importance and significance to the kingdom are far higher than the turmoil in neighboring countries.

In the past countless years.

What witches scare those in power the most is the terrible means that cannot be guarded against. Mosquitoes, poisons, curses... and even the air around them are the medium for them to perform witchcraft. What makes mortals even more desperate is that most of the time, no matter whether the opponent is a person or an army, in the eyes of the higher wizards, there is not much difference.

And what makes those in power want to stop is the kind of "productivity" that transcends the times!

The steam industry system that dominates the entire continent, various potions distributed by the military, the equipment of the arakkoa troops, and even the peak dominance of the kingdom's sea power - the legendary battleship "Steam Fortress", all originated from Princeton and The "Eye of Violet" under his command.

And Aiwen's contribution in this aspect has also been seen by all. "Seabird Mind Network", battlefield magic drug "Penicillin" and so on.

The Kingdom has already benefited deeply from it.

After being promoted to a high-ranking wizard now, this is simply a huge gold mine in human form, enough to benefit the kingdom endlessly!

For this point, Francis, the second-chairman of the think tank who holds the concept of "powering the country with science and technology and coordinating the development of the country", actually understands it best.

After a group of consultants saluted and left, only the queen, the crown prince and Ivan were left in the study.

When Isabella looked at Aiwen again, her face had quietly changed a color. It was like the flowers blooming like spring returning to the earth, and the words she said were also extremely beautiful:

"Mr. Garriott, starting today, the number of seats in the Kingdom's Upper Council will be increased from fifty-eight to fifty-nine!

Although the "Nobility Management Law" stipulates that non-military titles cannot be continuously promoted, but after the three-year period of being a viscount last time, I will host the earl promotion ceremony for you.

The greater the ability, the greater the power, what do you think? "

Her Majesty the Queen is obviously well versed in the way of a superior person, and she is not at all prepared to explore the secret of Aiwen's rapid promotion, and she opened her mouth to be the most real official named Xu Jue.

Although Aiwen is not likely to sharpen his head and drill into the "Upper Council", the center of the kingdom's power, like many dignitaries, his lifelong wish is to lead his family to the Upper Council.

But this time, with the growth of power and the recognition of the kingdom's own status, the benefits brought to the door should not be in vain.

And you can follow the example of some great nobles, just find a reliable agent to stay in the capital.

Although I have insufficient reserves of high-end talents, the Aimer family does not lack. Anyway, the wool of the old father-in-law's house has been plucked thousands of times, and this one is not bad.

I don't even have to pay the agent's salary myself, which is very flattering.

Members of the Upper Council can be said to be the most powerful group of people in the kingdom, and they also enjoy many privileges. All of them are nobles above the earl family. The implementation of any policy in the kingdom can only be implemented if most of them cooperate.

However, accidents such as excommunication, severance of children, family decline, etc. also happen from time to time, and the number of members of the House of Lords itself is not fixed. Even co-election usually requires fierce or even tragic political struggles to succeed.

And when it comes to Aiwen's understatement, it is obviously the convenience brought by power.

clatter la la la

Gently raising his hand, the documents scattered on the ground had already fluttered like butterflies and fell back to the queen's desk, stacking themselves into a neat pile.

Aiwen bowed solemnly:

"Thank you for your Majesty's approval, I will do my best to live up to your trust!"

Later, Isabella added that in addition to political rights, there will also be some policy preferences at the national level. Based on its own characteristics, part of the kingdom's annual arms purchase orders will be handed over to Georgia.

In other words, after entering the top elite club, the legal right to cast cannons that he has always wanted is already at his fingertips! The batch of ship-mounted heavy guns that were sneakily trial-produced in "Steel City" can also be brought out in a fair manner.

Of course, rights and obligations are equal. If she is willing to work for the landlord's family, Ning Fu will have no problem getting a seat.

After absorbing Aiwen into the power center of the kingdom, and repositioning him. Looking at the two ghouls on the floor who looked dumb and knew everything, Isabella finally talked about another serious matter:

"Instigated by the emerging nobles, what you call 'bourgeois', a new trend of thought has flooded among the lower classes of the Kingdom of Ilia.

The ambitions of the bourgeois have not been concealed, and they openly shouted the slogan of "personal freedom and equal rights", which is extremely attractive to the common people.

The death knell of the Kingdom's guardianship of the "Raging Waves" is the signal for their "Uprising". A large number of ghouls have flocked to the capital of Vienna in batches, and it is destined to be the starting point of a great vortex! "

The royal family's intelligence network is obviously stronger than Ivan imagined, and it has penetrated deep into the body of the Kingdom of Ilia from top to bottom.

Riwena handed him a top-secret written document, allowing him to gradually have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the former mother country.

The people in Ilya are divided into three distinct classes just like the capital of Vienna, which is divided into three areas separated by thick walls.

The first level: the royal family represented by the king and his relatives. The second level: senior clergymen and nobles of the church. The third class: citizens and lower class people including bourgeois, peasants and proletarians.

In fact, it is not just Ilya, but most countries on the continent.

Moreover, in the past many years, Ilya's title of nobility has been open, and the title can be obtained through political donations (buying and selling), so that some wealthy and capable third-level people have the opportunity to become nobles.

Since then, as the royal family has gradually tasted the sweetness and found that this group of emerging businessmen (bourgeois) is so rich, the price of knighthood has become higher and higher.

However, they still cannot stop their pursuit of identity and social status after they are rich, especially with the development of ocean-going commerce and the steam industry. New aristocracy!

On the other hand, some declining nobles are also very dissatisfied with these new nobles.

The traditional aristocrats themselves also invest in business, mining, real estate and other industries. However, as the conflict between the emerging business aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy has become increasingly serious, the traditional aristocracy has been defeated steadily by this new class united with common aspirations.

The Garriott family ten years ago was an insignificant victim of this struggle.

The conflict between the old and new class forces also fueled the so-called "Great Uprising" to some extent, and the ultimate spearhead was directed at the representatives of the traditional class - the royal family of Ilya.

As Aiwen once said, this is a root social problem, not just a superficial lack of peak combat power.

With this solid intelligence evidence, coupled with the theoretical guidance provided by Aiwen, it can be said that their group of people is the group of people who saw the turmoil in Ilia most clearly.

You can even guess a thing or two about the direction of future developments.

"In the third level, peasants and urban civilians are the main body and the main force of the 'uprising' that is about to begin.

The new merchant aristocrats, what you call the bourgeois, lead by virtue of their extraordinary power, economic power, political talent, and cultural knowledge.

Maybe a few months, no more than half a year at the most, no matter whether the lifespan of the 'Raging Wave' can last until then, everything will be blown up like a huge gunpowder magazine that has been burned out! "

Queen Isabella also confidently made a "prophet", but this was based on detailed information, and no one would doubt the correctness of her words.

Ivan, who came here for this matter, tentatively said:

"Then what do you mean?"

Her Majesty the Queen smiled, and said a word meaningfully:

"Wait and see."

Although he didn't make a clear statement, Ai Wen understood what she meant immediately.

The royal families of all countries have inherited the blood of the title, and the side effect of the powerful talent is that the population is not very prosperous. Although the marriage between the tulip royal family is a norm, the blood relationship between Phalatis and Elijah is at least several generations ago.

and.

In a world where superhuman powers rule, it is the most cost-effective choice to bind and absorb talented superhumans who are good enough to join one's own camp in various ways.

For Phalitis, the most cost-effective one at present is the father of the contemporary queen, the titled knight "Rose Sword Saint" Ilvetia. Now for the stability of his daughter's throne, it is no longer enough to describe this centenarian "old man" after devoting himself to death.

Of course, it is not impossible to focus entirely on worldly relationships linked by ties of in-laws. The consequences are the same as Ilya's now, the backer collapsed completely!

For Isabella, there was no emotional obstacle to seeing the Ilia royal family suffer. Besides, in the face of interests, the indifferent blood relationship is really not worth mentioning.

Very simple example.

A ship with priceless cargo and no strong guardians is something everyone wants. After letting the pirates finish looting, the navy fires again, and everything will be logical, perfect!

This is also consistent with Ivan's plan.

But before he could be happy, Her Majesty the Queen continued to say:

"By the way, Mr. Garriott, I remember that the ancestral land of the Garriott family fell into the hands of Earl Wright, the representative of the emerging nobles, right? Do you want to take back the territory that belongs to you?"

"Well"

Looking up at the graceful and beautiful Her Majesty wearing a platinum crown, Ai Wen already had a bad feeling in his heart. And eight generations of the Garriott family's ancestors are still buried there, do you still want to?

"From now on, the kingdom will start purchasing arms to prepare for a war, but the construction of Ugol Island has taken up a lot of money from the kingdom, so you know."

Speaking of this, Isabella blinked her big lake green eyes at him, unexpectedly a little playful, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Munition? This."

I, Evan Garriott, even got plucked by someone this day? Confused.jpg

After half an hour.

Alvin and Rivina also bid farewell to the Queen.

It's just that when she came, Liwena was half a step ahead of Ivan, but when she left, she naturally walked side by side with him.

The change in status is vividly reflected in every detail.

Looking at the back of the two people leaving.

Isabella was slightly lost in thought, and only sighed after a long time:

"The birth of a high-ranking wizard is indeed a great thing, but unlike Princeton, which has relied on the kingdom's training and signed a corresponding contract throughout the whole process, this rising star has not received much funding from the royal family."

Picking up the last letter left by Ivan on the table, from the "deceased" elder daughter Stephanie, muttering to himself almost inaudibly:

"It would be great if Garriott wasn't engaged! Isn't it just thirteen years behind? Compared with the previous worry-free person who was one hundred and thirty years younger, Rivina walked with him, and neither did I. It's totally unacceptable!"
