Magic Industrial Age

In this world, where there is light, there is darkness, and where there is justice, betrayal is never far away.

Therefore, trust is actually the most precious quality.

Although Roy has some strength and many people to help him, he never expected everyone to respect and love him when he came to Flower Collar and obtained the title of Earl.

People's hearts are hidden behind their faces. It's perfectly normal for them to praise you to your face while plotting dirty things behind your back.

Therefore, Roy had been pondering the 'Infiltration Plan' long ago.

To put it bluntly, it is to train a group of people, a group of secret agents, and then arrange them to be around various nobles.

They can be maids, servants, grooms, or cooks...

They don't need to be very strong, as long as they are sharp-eared, sharp-eyed, and alert, and can send some information to Roy.

In reality, there are not so many things that happen silently.

Any personnel transfer involves eating, drinking, and using the toilet, and involves all aspects. A little attention will reveal clues.

As long as Roy is prepared in advance, he will have made a great contribution!

Roy believes that the Raymond family should also have a similar intelligence organization.

It's a pity that he didn't inherit the title normally, and he doesn't know the methods of contact and communication, so it will most likely be useless.

Therefore, he needs Ang to help him rebuild a new intelligence organization.

Seeing that Ang seemed puzzled, Roy said, "I'm not afraid of anyone in a head-on fight, and I'm not even afraid of the so-called four dukes.

However, betrayal by one's own people and calculations in the dark are often the most terrifying."

"I don't believe those people's oaths, and I don't believe that these vassals and knights are all on the same side as me, so I need to guard against them."

Ang nodded slightly and immediately said, "Earl, it may not be easy to train such people and then arrange them to go in!"

"What is your idea?"

"Bribe! Among those vassals, there are always those who lack money, resources, or magic potions. If you can give me a certain amount of money and materials, I believe I can pry open a gap."

Roy nodded slightly: "Of course, there must be activity funds. Don't use the family's accounts for these. You can withdraw them from Mila.

When the communication magic circle is built and communication is convenient, you can take action."

Ang also said: "Also, I have figured out the general situation of Brussels these days. It is not much better than Auckland.

There are many orphans here, without fathers or mothers, doing some petty theft.

If possible, I would like to organize them, which can not only give them a way to survive, but also select excellent personnel to supplement my team."

"This is a good thing, just do it!"

Ang was a little embarrassed: "This will cost a lot of money!"

"It doesn't matter, gold coins only have value when they are spent. If they are left in the Seven Gods Bank, they are just a string of numbers!"

Roy said this and asked, "By the way, the name, I'm asking about the name, you haven't told me yet?"

Ang looked a little dazed and said, "Brotherhood, let's just call it Brotherhood. I think this is the best name."

"Then it's called Brotherhood!"

Roy smiled and said, "I hope that one day, the entire Old Continent, every city will have a Brotherhood presence."

Ang also smiled 'hehe': "Then I will continue to work hard!"

Ang left with the note approved by Roy. In fact, he had already established an area in the underground gang in Brussels.

If it is just to support those people, it is still enough!

But Roy wants him to do too many things, so naturally he has to spend money.

He can use this note to withdraw enough gold coins and supplies from Hoover the butler.

These fortunes were brought by Roy. The specific accounting will have to wait until the communication magic circle is built.

This will take time!

Seeing Ang leave, Roy turned his head slightly and said, "Teacher Oliveira, you have to take care of Ang.

The underground gangs are mixed, and most of them are weak chickens, but it's hard to say that you won't run into some powerful hidden figures."

"I don't care what happens to the Brotherhood, but I must ensure Ang's safety."

Oliveira nodded slightly: "Ang is very cautious, and I will take care of him."

Roy sighed slightly and said, "We are still too weak."

"By the way, help me inform the Flame Swordsman and the Iron Knight. I want to go out tomorrow."

"Where?"

"Lion Castle, there is not only ruins there, but also secrets!"

"Okay!"

……

It was night,

In the study.

Roy sat quietly behind his desk, with a letter unfolded in his hand, obviously writing a reply.

However, at this time, his eyes flickered, but he didn't write a single word on the letter.

Letters to other people are simple, just make fun of them casually, and that's all.

Only for Miller, he needs to consider it carefully.

Two paths determine Miller's life, and even determine the future path of the Petrovic family.

To be honest, Roy doesn't think he is qualified to make decisions for him. The only thing he can do is to strengthen his beliefs.

Therefore, when Roy confirmed and began to write, the first half was his analysis of Hohenzollern III's intentions.

But in the end, he only wrote six words: Follow your heart!

There is no right or wrong in the two paths, it just depends on what kind of person Miller wants to become.

To be honest, Roy is almost 80% sure that he will choose the first one.

Perhaps it is the arrogance of young people, or he himself is more suitable for doing practical things, rather than flattering.

But these have to be chosen by Miller himself.

……

The next day,

Early morning.

Roy woke up before the sun rose, when the world was still dark.

The climate in Brussels is suitable, and the morning is not too cold.

After getting up, he gently removed Lilia's arm, put on his clothes, and appeared on the training ground of the manor.

Here, there was no one except Oliveira, not even the servants had gotten up.

It was also here that Roy began to practice.

Swordsmanship, marksmanship, breathing techniques, holy techniques, tempering the body, until finally, drinking magic potions and trying new extraordinary combat skills...

It had been a long time since Roy had practiced so happily, so much so that he was a little addicted to the illusion of sweating and releasing his power to his heart's content.

He just felt that accumulating strength bit by bit and constantly becoming stronger was the right way!

Of course, this big training ground was not used by Roy alone, and many knights had the habit of morning exercises.

When the sun first rose, these people arrived at the training ground one after another, and they were stunned when they saw the figure sweating like rain!

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥ hair!

As an Earl, Roy is so hardworking, but they came so late?

This made them feel ashamed, and they worked harder in their morning exercises.

Roy didn't care about their thoughts, but completed a round of cultivation on his own, and admired his attribute panel. Looking at the gorgeous data, he felt full of motivation.

And this round of cultivation was completed, but it was just dawn, the time for breakfast.

Roy also took a bath, bathed in 'Roy Fitz Warrior Magic Potion', and ate a hearty breakfast.

He used to start his day like this in Auckland, and now that he has regained his state, he actually misses it a little.

After breakfast, he led Oliveira, the Iron Knight Phil Zick, and the Flame Swordsman Otto, and took a relatively ordinary carriage out of Lion Manor.

Lion Manor is located in the center of the southeast of Brussels. The terrain here is higher than the northwest, and the environment and greening of the city are quite good.

As a city heavily operated by the Raymond family, the streets here are relatively wide, and although there are no street lights on both sides, they are still relatively clean.

At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to spill swill at will, and there are relatively complete water supply systems and enough public toilets.

In terms of sanitation, it is not bad.

If Roy wants to go to Lion Castle, he has to go north and cross a pontoon bridge.

Because the Ruhr River runs through the middle of the city, going back and forth on both sides, you either have to take a boat or cross the bridge.

However, the bridge-building technology in this world is a bit poor, unless there are magical means involved.

Otherwise, if the river is wide, you can only build a pontoon bridge.

The pontoon bridge is actually built with branches of planks, covered with wooden boards. The waves surge, one wave after another, shaking constantly.

Upstream of the pontoon bridge, there are also many boats docked, which are full of goods, and can only pass through at fixed times.

That is, around eleven o'clock every night, the pontoon bridge will be temporarily dismantled to allow ships to pass.

Undoubtedly, this is very troublesome, but, limited by bridge-building technology, this is the only way.

The carriage was walking on the pontoon bridge, which was a bit shaky. Roy looked out through the window and saw the turbulent river flowing smoothly.

Upstream, out of the city, there are large tracts of fertile land.

It is almost the harvest season, and as far as the eye can see, it is golden.

However, when you get off the pontoon bridge and arrive at the slum, the environment is much worse.

The buildings are messy, the streets are dirty, and the clothes of the pedestrians on both sides are not so gorgeous. Many people are barefoot and wearing straw sandals.

Obviously, the gap between the rich and the poor in Brussels is also very large.

However, they did not travel through the streets for too long before they reached the North City Gate.

Out of the North City Gate, along the straight avenue, there is an endless field.

Roy also saw rotating windmills, scattered villages, straight smoke, colorful flower fields, and fluttering butterflies and bees.

Because there are many flower fields, Brussels also has a hidden industry, which is honey.

Honey is quite popular even in noble circles, and not everyone can afford it.

However, the produced honey is internally digested, and its reputation is not obvious to the outside world.

The carriage went forward along the avenue, and the speed gradually increased, until after half an hour, at the end of the field of vision, there were suddenly undulating mountains.

At the nearest place, a mountain peak was cut off from the entire top of the mountain.

And on that mountain top, a castle like ruins came into view!

This is the old site of Lion Castle!
