Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Although several Beyonders sent by the Balk family had some objections to Elliot being late, on the surface they still welcomed Elliot very much.

After the welcome banquet that night, early the next morning, the family members who came in advance took Elliot to visit the copper mine.

The colonists of the Fusac Empire have been mining this copper mine for seven or eight years, and the living facilities are relatively complete.

On the ground where managers like Elliot lived, there were also places where local foremen and coachmen lived, and there were shacks where slaves and horses lived.

While visiting, several people were chatting. Elliot found that these tribesmen had gathered faintly around the Sequence 6 Zachary. They only had enthusiasm for Elliot, the actual leader, but not too much. Much respect.

Of course Elliot knew that he had the opportunity to get this position because he was a loyal believer in the "Creator". Another copper mine and a forest farm in the family were both managed by a Sequence 6.

Elliot is just a Sequence 7, and has not made much contribution to the family so far.

Gotta find a chance to take back power, Elliot thought.

After visiting the residence and carriage, the group came to the entrance of the copper mine.

Elliot saw an old-looking steam engine at the entrance of the mine. It seemed that it was working hard to turn the wheel, and every movement made a "buzzing" sound.

On the other side of the steam engine, hundreds of slaves were squatting there, and local foremen with brown skin were patrolling back and forth with riding whips to maintain order among the slaves.

When the foremen saw Elliot and others, they immediately showed flattering smiles.

Elliot asked, "Are these slaves waiting for their shift?"

"No," Zachary replied: "There was a small-scale water leakage in the mine yesterday. Before the water pump can pump out the water in the mine, there is no use for them to go down."

Another Beyonder following behind said: "This water pump was left behind by the Fusac people. It is said that when it was transported, it was an old machine that had been used for more than 20 years. The piston often leaks, and it is probably still I have to smoke for another day and night."

Another Beyonder said to Elliot: "Mining Pipe, can you apply to the Presbyterian Council for a new water pump?"

Others also said: "Yes, if it were a new water pump, it is estimated that the dozen slaves yesterday would not have drowned. Now the slaves are getting more and more expensive, and these are all the costs of the copper mine."

"It's best to buy a water pump made in Loen. I heard in Crolier City that the water pumps made in Loen are of the best quality."

"I have also heard that if there is a Loen water pump, the output of the copper mine will be at least doubled."

Elliot nodded: "I'll think of a solution."

He couldn't tell that they were posing a problem for themselves.

Zachary smoothed things over at this time and said: "You guys should give up. I have also heard about water pumps made by Loen, but they are in short supply in their colonies and cannot be purchased elsewhere in the Southern Continent.

"Even if you want to buy it, you have to go through the Fusac Empire. I don't know how much premium it will cost."

Everyone looked at Elliot with a smile.

Elliot didn't say anything, just watched the steam engine running over there, as if to avoid embarrassment.

…

Hobert's team is much busier than previously imagined. There are now an average of two court sessions every day, and the four of them are simply too busy.

So Hobert asked Barton for two more people and an office.

Tuesday was another busy day. He was originally going to deliver a letter to Mr. Azik this afternoon, but due to the arrival of a new person and the need to redefine the scope of work, Hobert couldn't leave and had to wait until tomorrow.

When he was about to get off work, Hobert heard a prayer from the "Nation of Disorder". Needless to say, it must be Elliot. Others who knew the honorable name of the "Creator" generally would not pray to the "Creator" pray.

Arriving at the bathroom, Hobert enters the "Land of Disorder", and it turns out that Elliot is praying.

Spreading spirituality to the star representing Elliot, he immediately heard Elliot's voice: "Great founder, I give you daily reports. I was assigned by the Presbyterian Council to manage a copper mine..."

After briefly talking about the situation of the copper mine, he finally said: "There is a small matter that I need to ask for your help. The facilities here are too dilapidated, especially the water pump that has aged badly. I don't know who is among your favored ones. Is there any relevant channel where I can buy water pumps produced by the Loen Kingdom?"

In Elliot's understanding, a big man like the "Creator" would of course have many followers.

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert had the urge to cover his face: Friend, you are my favorite!

Hobert thought again that he really had the information about the water pump. Isn't Mr. Dickos's the most advanced water pump in the world?

But of course the "creator" couldn't be interested in such trivial matters. He did not reply to Elliot immediately. Instead, after work, he returned to the rental house on Blanca Street and prayed to himself: "Dear Creator "I have the channel to purchase a Luen water pump, and it is the most advanced centrifugal pump. The price of one is about 1,200 pounds, which is approximately worth 320 ounces of gold."

320 ounces is about 9 kilograms.

Then Hobert entered the "Land of Disorder", mosaiced his prayer screen, and threw it into Elliot's star.

This is a kind of use of "trumpet", Mr. Fool said it is good if he uses it!

…

Elliot was having dinner, and suddenly the "Creator" on the "Iron Throne" appeared in his mind first. The "Creator" was more majestic and oppressive than before, as if he was the "black man" in the family records. "Emperor" description!

While being oppressed and breathless, Elliot was a little excited: the great "creator" has become more powerful!

Then he saw a man whose appearance and figure could not be seen clearly praying: "Great 'creator', I have..."

After the scene ended, the scene in Elliot's mind disappeared, and he saw the dining table in front of him again, as well as other members of the family.

Elliot's first thought was: Sure enough, the "Creator" has other favored ones.

320 ounces of gold is not expensive for Elliot, because copper mines are usually accompanied by gold ore. It is not easy for them to obtain 1,200 pounds of Loen currency. Maybe 1,000 ounces of gold may not be enough. In exchange for 1,200 pounds of banknotes.

But gold to them is just inventory piled in warehouses.

Elliot looked at the people at the table and smiled: I will show you the power of the great "creator"!

Such a big deal must be reported to the superiors. When Elliot left the non-existent town, he was summoned by the patriarch. The way to report to the superiors was to pray to the patriarch!
