Extraordinary Mechanical City

This world is a bit like the stand-alone World of Warcraft game in the previous life, treasure hunting, killing monsters, mining, and exploring ruins. Before all the fog is explored, no one knows what secrets the continent holds and how vast it is.

The mist is full of endless unknowns.

Humans call the barren black land under their feet [Ice Ridge Wasteland].

The ice ridge wasteland is very large, and the proven area is larger than the total land area of ​​the earth in the previous life.

Countless steam machinery cities are moving on the ice ridge wasteland, exploring, plundering, hunting for treasure, and competing for resources. The map is also updated anytime and anywhere.

Humanity is divided into two major empires, the Omar Empire to the north, and the Sid Empire to the south.

The two empires also sometimes have some local frictions due to competition for large mineral deposits, but there are very few large-scale wars.

After all, the wasteland is huge, and the area that can be explored is endless. The greatest enemy of human beings is the wasteland monster in the mist, not the civil war.

The Omar Empire is divided into seventy-two administrative provinces, and the lords of each administrative province are high-ranking nobles of hereditary dukes. They have a main mechanical city of Beamon lord level and countless secondary mechanical cities.

The system of hereditary aristocracy has led to the concentration of most of the resources in the hands of veteran aristocrats. The class has been solidified, and the seventy-two grand duke families have not changed much for hundreds of years.

The nobles have lost their adventurous spirit, and they can get a lot of nourishment by guarding the inheritance passed down from their ancestors.

The path from the common people to the upper class has almost been blocked, and the offspring of the common people are doomed to be exploited and oppressed as soon as they are born.

The only hope is to become a wilderness hunter and go hunting for treasure in the wilderness. Like Baron Morin, if he can find a shocking treasure, he can exchange some minced meat scraps from the high-ranking nobles for a small title of low-ranking nobles.

Social contradictions are getting bigger and bigger, and the progress of the Omar Empire in exploring the unknown foggy area is getting slower and slower. These veteran aristocrats have lost the hard-working and enterprising spirit of their ancestors, and have gradually become a stumbling block to the progress of civilization.

And the XV of Spgreen is the current Emperor Omar.

The ambitious emperor planned to carry out a "reform reform".

For example, he intends to reduce the price of potions monopolized by the old nobles, so that everyone can advance to extraordinary; he also intends to open the Royal Academy to the common people, establish more basic schools, so that all common people in the empire can receive basic knowledge for free of learning.

The price of potions has been lowered, and more civilians can advance to high-level extraordinary, and can explore more and more dangerous foggy areas, and human civilization will make great strides forward

And if all the people learn knowledge, then a large number of civilian geniuses can be found overseas. There will be more and more potion masters, scientists, and polymaths. The bottleneck restricting human progress will also be broken, and the empire will definitely become stronger and stronger.

But the resistance can be imagined.

Genetic potion is the most valuable business in this world, and it is a "necessity" for human beings to survive in this world. Without advanced and extraordinary, it would be difficult for human beings to survive in this harsh climate.

However, 99% of the potion sales industry in the market is monopolized in the hands of high-ranking nobles. This is also the best way for people at the top of the pyramid to exploit the people at the bottom for hundreds of years.

Killing the chicken that lays the golden eggs is equivalent to cutting off the "milk" of most of the veteran nobles.

What does a strong empire have to do with me, and what does the progress of human civilization have to do with me?

Why are nobility so expensive?

If there are no hundreds of thousands of untouchables who can't afford to eat in the aristocratic territory, why should they be superior to others?

Let everyone of the common people be able to advance to the extraordinary level, and can enter the academy to learn knowledge. Isn't this encroaching on the rights that only nobles have?

If things go on like this, what is the difference between nobles and commoners?

Fight talent and hard work?

Hehe, you were born aristocrat, you can get rich if you inherit the family business, why do you want to compete with a group of untouchables on the same starting line?

Therefore, after the reform, the upper echelons of the Omar Empire were divided into two factions, a small number of "innovators" who supported the emperor's reforms; and a majority of "conservatives" who secretly obstructed and wanted to maintain the status quo.

The eldest princess Ymir is the royal family who supports his elder brother Spgreen XV's reform plan with the strongest attitude!

Now the emperor's physical condition is deteriorating, and there is a high probability that he will not live for a few years.

And the eldest princess Ymir has been hailed as the most talented royal family in the Spgreen family for hundreds of years. Her prestige in the country is even higher than that of all the princes!

If there is no accident, there is a high probability that Pope Spgreen XV will pass on the throne to his sister Ymir instead of those princes who are doing nothing!

And this time Ymir was conspired to assassinate, in fact, it was a collision between the "conservative" and "innovative" who represented the interests of the old nobles.

Even the premature aging of the XV of Springing also has the shadow of those guys' conspiracy.

The steam train was running smoothly on the wasteland.

Not long after Ren and Ymir used the communication station.

Tuk, duk, duk!

There was a knock on the door.

"President."

"Enter."

In a certain compartment at the head of the train, a man who looked like a butler knocked on the door and walked in.

It was very warm in this compartment, and the huge room was brightly illuminated by the exquisite crystal chandeliers.

The decoration in the room is very luxurious, with classical wooden furniture, exquisite Niye handmade cashmere carpet, and oil painting accessories that look like masters. Even the wine vessels on the table are made of sterling silver, and there is a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.

It seems that this is not a carriage, but a palace.

There was only one person in the room.

This is a beautiful woman wearing a lace cheongsam with high slits.

At this moment, she was lying lazily on a chair, flipping through a thick stack of books. Her feet were crossed on the edge of the table, and the cheongsam was slit to the heels of her legs, allowing her long and beautiful legs to be seen at a glance.

"President Canossa, someone borrowed the communication radio on the car to transmit ten encrypted messages just now."

Even though he could see the boundless spring scenery when he looked up, the butler kept his head down the whole time after entering the room, as if there was a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart that made him dare not look directly.

If there are people from the business world here, they will definitely recognize this charming woman as the legendary [Black Gold Chamber of Commerce] vice president, Canossa J. Cloefeller.

It's the name of a formidable, sprawling money empire.

Almost all the business of the high-ranking nobles in the two empires has dealings with this "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce".

And the "Thorn Bird Chamber of Commerce" to which this train belongs is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the southern provinces of Omar, and it is just an inconspicuous small chamber of commerce under the umbrella of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce".

hear this,

The beautiful woman in cheongsam didn't raise her eyebrows, and asked indifferently: "Have you cracked it?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "It's impossible in a short time. Judging by the proficient encryption method she operates, she is a bit like an intelligence informant of the "Black Water Terrace" of the Omar Royal Intelligence Group."

"oh."

The beautiful woman in cheongsam: "Then don't worry about it. There is a big turmoil in the royal family of Oma right now, and the political situation is very sensitive. No matter which side the person who summons is, we will not get involved."

"Yes, President."

The butler nodded, and said again: "President, you said that the secret message from the headquarters wants to confirm whether the news of the assassination of the eldest princess is accurate, so that we can formulate follow-up plans."

When the beautiful woman in cheongsam heard the news, her charming face was a little moved.

"Just treat her as dead."

She continued: "Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter. Now Baron Askpa has been labeled a rebel, and the biggest support of the 'reformists' is gone. Without military power, there is no right to speak. No matter Whoever comes will not be able to turn the tide."

The news channels of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce spread all over the world, which let her know more about the inside story.

After a pause, she continued: "Forcibly forcing General Baron to rebel, Queen Omar's move is absolutely brilliant. Even if the eldest princess is not dead, the situation will not be easier when she returns to the imperial capital."

In a few words, a businessman explained the current situation of the entire upper echelon of the Omar royal family, and it was extremely thorough.

If someone who understands politics is here, his jaw will drop in shock.

"That"

The butler continued: "Master President, General Baron has taken away some of the most elite mechanic corps in the empire this time, so what should we do about the supply agreement we signed with them?"

The beautiful woman in cheongsam looked disapproving, and said: "Business as usual, according to the contract. Anyway, both sides have investment, no matter who sits on the throne, it will not have much impact on our chamber of commerce."

After a pause, she seemed to have lost much interest in this matter, and asked instead: "By the way, how is the situation in the 'Forest of Ashes'?"

The steward said sternly: "The mineral deposits on the outskirts over there have been preliminarily explored and cleared. It is a top-level rich mine. The reserves of 'high-combustion coal' in the shallow layer alone will be large. However, the savage tribe over there is very troublesome and has not been resolved yet. good idea."

The beautiful woman in cheongsam asked again: "Where is the temple?"

Steward: "In the depths of the forest, it is confirmed that there is a temple that should be one of the seventy-two knights of the 'Dark Emperor'. However, there are wildling priests stationed there, and it is impossible to get close unless a large army forcibly destroys .”

The eyes of the beautiful woman in the cheongsam gleamed brightly, and she said: "Then spread the news to attract more hunters to open up the wasteland. Our Chamber of Commerce must get the inheritance of the ruins!"

"Understood, President. I'll do it now"

The housekeeper bowed lower and lower, turned and went out.
