Chapter 250 Temporarily leaving the Covenant City

The next day, the front pages of all newspapers in Covenant City were given to the Imperial Gendarmerie.

The content in it made every citizen who bought the morning paper feel a layer of gloom in their hearts. For most people, the name Corpse Stitcher only exists in some horror stories, and they will probably never come into contact with anything related to the undead in their entire lives.

However, the facts tell everyone that the legendary corpse stitchers are by their side, and many people have been killed by them and made into corpse puppets.

Panic is spreading. People don't know whether the Imperial Military Police has eradicated all the corpse stitchers. They prefer to believe not. The temperament of the booming city has changed like a roller coaster. The citizens have become neurotic and look at everyone around them with vigilant eyes.

At this time, Hailot had already boarded the airship bound for the northwest Kurdish province. In addition to Bresini and Fiorro, Tieqi and Reinham also joined the journey, and the five of them asked for an independent cabin.

The airship floats in the clouds, and the city becomes farther and farther away.

Reinham read the morning newspaper in his hand, and then couldn't help but sigh: "The deep prison has been made public, and the filth under the city's gorgeous appearance has been uncovered. This is a very heavy blow to Covenant City, at least. Most people who like nightlife choose to go home early.”

Helot was reading a book and could guess what was in today's newspaper.

"Sooner or later, this thunder will explode. The sooner it explodes, the sooner it will be faced. The imperial court and government can no longer act like ostriches. They should face things they did not dare to face before."

Reinham nodded: "You are right! Deep Prison has done so many things in Covenant City and killed so many people. It is definitely impossible to hide it. The only difference is how it is exposed. In this way. It was still acceptable to come out, and an important stronghold in the Deep Prison was destroyed, letting the citizens know that the empire was still capable of protecting most people.

It also happened to cover up the existence of the underground base of the Steam Turbine Research Institute. If the things inside were to explode, it would be more serious than a corpse manufacturing factory. "

In the corpse puppet manufacturing factory, corpse stitchers commit crimes independently. For ordinary people, necromancers are a marginalized group after all. Although the panic caused is serious, it will not have much impact on the daily lives of citizens, and will naturally be forgotten after a long time.

But at the underground base of the Steam Machinery Research Institute, whether it is the scale of the project or the mechanical corpses it is researching and manufacturing, anyone who knows technology will know that official forces are definitely involved. This is no longer a matter of someone sewing corpses alone. It is a blow to the credibility of the empire.

Firollola opened the hatch and came in. Behind her, Bresini was holding a few drinks.

Helot took the sweet tea he ordered and waited for Firollo to close the cabin door and release the soundproofing restriction again.

Then he said: "This is one of the reasons why I am so anxious to leave Covenant City. The things we found are too big and beyond the scope of our handling. Stay far away to avoid getting into trouble."

Reinham took the black coffee he ordered and took a sip, which made him almost lose control of his expression. He swallowed it hard.

The sleepiness caused by not sleeping all night disappeared immediately.

"You have no foundation in the palace. It is a wise choice to leave at this time. Next, we will see how the third prince uses the evidence we gave him. I hope that when we come back, he will have reorganized the Rust Nobility."

Although Reinham had not been transferred to Covenant City for long, he was well aware of the cruelty of palace disputes.

The Rust Nobility has deep roots and holds the minerals on which the empire's development depends. Therefore, even if there is evidence that the Rust Nobles colluded with the Deep Prison, the Empire will not use this evidence to directly convict the Rust Nobles.

How to differentiate, how to win over some parts and attack others, and to what extent they are finally reorganized, all test the micro-management of the trader.

If the third prince still wants to use this opportunity to control the Rusty Noble Group, he will be involved in the battle for the crown prince again. Not to mention Herot, a person without any foundation in the palace, even the nobles with real power did not dare to get involved easily.

During this sensitive period, it is right to find excuses to leave the empire's inner circle.

Let them fight first, and then we will come back after their fight comes to fruition.

Helot drank his tea and asked: "Do you think the third prince will win over the rust nobles?"

"As long as the third prince has ambitions for the crown prince position, he will never let go of this opportunity." Reinham knew that Helot didn't care much about the political situation of the empire, so he explained: "Since the second prince died of illness, His Majesty has not appointed a crown prince. . Although His Majesty is in very good health, it is definitely not a good thing for the empire to have the throne vacant.

This time His Majesty asked the princes to take over the real power department, which was considered to be an assessment of the princes' abilities. Of course, the princes must do their best to perform. If they can win over the powerful nobles, it will definitely help them finally ascend to the throne. "

Helot thought for a moment, it had been three years since the second prince died of illness.

The throne of the crown prince has indeed always been vacant.

This is indeed not a good thing for such a huge empire.

Helot's gossip aroused and he whispered: "I heard that the second prince did not die of illness, but that he was poisoned to death."

Reinham immediately looked nervous: "I haven't heard of it. But you can't believe such rumors, let alone talk nonsense."

Tie Qi sitting aside had no worries about his family background and was willing to share the royal secrets he had heard.

"The second prince is the strongest in the generation of the royal family. Ordinary poison cannot kill him. What I heard is... there is a golden blood test within the royal family, which requires a large amount of gold. It is the gold output provided to the second prince. There’s a problem, it’s mixed with tungsten.”

Helot said: "The density of tungsten is close to that of gold. Some people use gold-coated tungsten to pretend to be gold. But the gold provided to the royal family must be strictly inspected. If it is a golden blood test, the gold used must be inspected even more strictly. , how could something go wrong?”

The cavalryman spread his hands: "I don't know. But the day after the second prince's accident, several rust nobles were summoned by His Majesty. When Earl Sekom came back, he inspected his tungsten mine."

Could it be that the death of the second prince was really because someone mixed tungsten in his gold?

When Helot was about to have an in-depth conversation with the cavalry, Reinham stopped him forcefully: "This is not something we can talk about. Knowing too much is definitely not a good thing. This topic ended here, and we still talked about what Hog Town is doing.

Do you really want to open an undead themed hotel? "

Helot also realized that this was indeed not something that could be discussed casually. The royal family's own affairs were handled by their own people, and it was best for outsiders to pretend to be confused.

When it comes to the undead themed hotel, Helot is very interested in talking about his vision.

“I know that Tomorrow Group has a farm investment plan in Hoge Town, which will integrate Hoge Town’s livestock industry into the cold chain meat processing system, and also invest in the construction of a milk factory.

If I could meet Ms. Irina, I would like to talk to her about investing in a hotel..."
