Chapter 384: Magic Car? Seven Star Rudy's first encounter, familiar hometown dialect
“So, Her Highness Ariel did win the support of the people, but at the same time she lost the support of the nobles.

However, the collective reaction of the nobles this time is more or less due to the First Prince stirring up the situation. Currently, the Second Prince has withdrawn from the competition for the crown prince. Only Her Highness Ariel can pose a threat to him. This is a good opportunity for the First Prince. "

Dilic looked up at Rudy and said so.

The latter pretended not to notice the hidden meaning in Dilik's look.

Do you think Ariel's actions were really based solely on public opinion?

Is Ariel really as noble, great, and loving as her own children as Dilic described her to be, and is she really the person who cares about the people?

of course not.

First of all, helping Paul and Rudy to establish a "Great Disaster Victim Search Team" already contained a layer of meaning to show goodwill to the current head of the Notos family.

Then, Allen was also among the victims.

This is inextricably linked to the Boreas family.

Does that also include Allen himself?
He did ‘disappear’, but did he make corresponding plans and arrangements before he ‘disappeared’?

You know, before the knife fell on Alan Boreas Graylat at Boreas's mansion, no one knew what Alan was thinking.

Now the person is gone and we can’t communicate directly. So what’s the difference from the previous situation?
If you think this way, then why do you think the First Prince is so angry now?
Could it really be that just because of some bullshit public opinion that too much money was spent?
Therefore, Ariel's move was not only not a stupid one, but also a brilliant one.

Just when the First Prince was waiting with great enthusiasm for Boreas and the Notos family to come to his house to settle the matter, he suddenly learned about Alan's disappearance, and then soon!
Ariel had already prepared the manpower, the search and rescue team, and even the money, and almost stuffed it into the Notos family's mouth.

The First Prince was stunned after hearing this.

However, there is a fundamental reason why Ariel is so timely.
There is a certain speculation in it.

Some of it was to cater to Alan's ideas.

Some of them were actually worried about Alan's disappearance.

Well, only our dear perverted princess herself knows.

After saying this, Dilic, who was a die-hard fan of Ariel, seemed to feel that he had cleared Ariel too cleanly, and seeing that Rudy didn't say anything, he could not help but remain silent.

'Rudeus obviously has a good relationship with Mr. Allen. Wouldn't it be better to explain more openly what Ariel wants? Ariel also said before that we need to face Mr. Allen more sincerely.
Damn, I let my thoughts run wild, but Ariel-sama is always concerned about people's livelihood, right?

Rudy's thoughts were not so complicated. After thinking about the current situation in his mind, he just...
Focus on...

Still weak and powerless.

'I still can't get it hard. I won't have ED, right? I should have known better than to neglect the training of fighting spirit. If it were Alan, I could have cured ten widows, not to mention one.
The two of them were silent for a moment, their thoughts completely different.

Afterwards, they all felt a little awkward and tacitly changed the subject.

Diliq rubbed his dark circles and coughed lightly.
"But after all these months, I still feel like Mr. Allen's disappearance is a dream."

Rudy nodded.

"Yes, me too."

Dilic looked at Rudius's calm face and said meaningfully.

"But it seems that Mr. Rudeus has great confidence in Mr. Allen and is not worried at all."

The corner of Rudy's mouth twitched. He has been asked this question many times recently. Why does it seem that everyone thinks that Alan's disappearance is a conspiracy?

Are all these nobles in the royal capital suffering from paranoia?

"You don't have to test me like this. I've already told you that it's because..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dilic.

"I understand that you have absolute confidence in Mr. Allen."

".Yes"

"But since Mr. Rudy has complete confidence in Mr. Allen, why can't it be that Mr. Allen has already arranged everything and pretended to be missing?"

". I really want to be like this. But the reality is that he didn't tell anyone, which shouldn't be the case."

"Really?" Dilic looked suspicious.

"Yes." Rudy said helplessly.

"Then let's talk about what you are going to do now. Why do you want to set up a research institute at this critical juncture when you need manpower and money to study... uh... magic chariots?"

"It's the Magic Stone Car."

"Ah, it is indeed a magic chariot. What a fantastic idea. Using magic stones as energy, combined with magic circles, and engraving magic circles on the wheels of the carriage, can we create a carriage that can move by itself?"

"No horse."

"No horse, yes, but shouldn't you be more concerned about where Mr. Allen is? Why are you researching this thing? This thing is too expensive. It's obviously not universal."

".As I said before, this is only applicable to search and rescue teams, and not all teams are equipped with it. As long as each team has one, it can greatly increase the speed of search.

The speed of searching for a carriage was too slow. It was indeed possible to change horses for short distances, but how could there be so many suitable horses with sufficient stamina to change for long distances? Moreover, horses could not always maintain high speeds.

It took us three full months just to search for the Kingdom of Asura. Even then it was just a cursory search, mainly posting notices. If we had searched carefully, I think it would have taken another six months to a year to search the Kingdom of Asura alone.

It’s too slow. I have calculated that most of the time is spent on the road.

People get tired, and horses get tired too.

But the magic stone car will not get tired. As long as there are magic stones and the magic circle is not damaged, it can keep moving. "

"Mr. Rudeus, tell me the truth. Is this a situation that Mr. Allen took advantage of, or has he really been affected by the disaster?"

".I. Why don't you believe me? The Magic Stone Car is very necessary. Any new product needs to be constantly improved. If you deny it at the beginning."

Just as Rudy was explaining to the other party that he was not in a hurry, but was working hard to improve the search team's marching efficiency.

With a creak, the door of the small library opened.

Someone pushed the door open and came in, attracting the attention of Rudy and Dilic.

The latter just glanced at him briefly, then turned his gaze away and wanted to continue talking to Rudy.

"I understand that any technology needs a transition period, but at this critical juncture, the First Prince is eyeing me covetously. I'm afraid he will use this to make a fuss again, Mr. Rudy? Mr. Rudy?"

pat, pat, pat.

The footsteps gradually approached the two men, and Rudy just looked at the people who came in in a trance.

The other person had long black hair that reached his shoulders and was wearing an autumn robe with exquisite stitching, which was quite common among nobles. He passed by Rudy's sight like a veil blowing in the wind in front of the window.

Bringing a gust of wind. It is the aristocratic smell of petals just after washing.

"Mr. Rudy! Mr. Rudy!"

"what!"

Rudy came back to his senses. The facial features of the black-haired girl passing by reminded him of the temperament of the high school girl on the roadside before he crossed over. She was not very pretty, with a chubby face and 1-2 flaws in her facial features, but overall she did not look aggressive.

The delicate facial features were very different from those of the beauties I met in this other world.

Rudy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if he had met another time traveler in a trance, but the next moment the other person's clothes and the distinctive scent of aristocratic bathing made him break free from this feeling.

Rudy uttered "ah" twice and was about to turn his head when he saw the girl looking at him slightly sideways.

Her eyes were round and neon-like. After looking at him doubtfully, she turned her head and continued walking towards the bookshelf in the library.

Rudy shook his head and spoke to Dilic opposite him.

"Um, what did you just say?"

Dilic looked at Rudy in confusion and spoke in a low voice.

"I think the magic car might not be suitable at this time. For the search and rescue team, at most it can shorten the estimated time on the road by one third, right?"

"Indeed, this may not be very useful for you and Ariel-sama, but it is very useful for me. Don't forget that my mother and two sisters also disappeared with Alan.

Although I always felt that Alan would be with them to ensure their safety.

But if there is an accident, we need to use any available means to shorten the time. "

Rudy's expression was particularly serious.

Dilic hesitated as he showed a look that said, "Are you serious?"

"Could it be that they were affected by the disaster, so Lord Allen set out to rescue them first?"

Rudy was speechless. He didn't know what to say. He even suspected that Alan had been diverted by the disaster.

".Dilic, I looked up the countries, terrain, and population distribution of the Central Continent, and calculated the time. If we really want to search the entire Central Continent in detail, it will probably take a year and a half, and this does not include the conflict zone.

If we want to search the disputed area thoroughly, it will probably take a longer time because the area is very chaotic, there are many small countries, and it is in constant war.

If they really fell into this savage land and Alan was not around, time would be life!

Moreover, this is just the Central Continent. There is also the Bekalit Continent, the Milis Continent, and even the Demon Continent. This is a long-term project. I also hope that luck is on our side and we will find them soon.

But I can think it, but I can’t do it.”

Rudy leaned forward, staring into Dilic's eyes, and even his expression had some of Allen's look, with his brows raised.

"I don't want to leave my fate to the illusory luck. If Alan were here, he would probably say the same thing."

It was the first time that Dilic saw Rudy so serious and earnest. He didn't have a chance to refute for a long time.

Actually, Rudy was right. They had different positions, and Dilic stood on Ariel's side.

Continuing to expand the size of the search and rescue team, or coming up with some new inventions, would most likely lead to the First Prince continuing to attack Ariel.

He didn't think that Alan was really missing, and he also didn't think that Senis and the others were really missing. He even doubted whether Senis and the others really existed?

Rudy sighed when he saw him like this.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I have solved the problem of money. I have found someone who is willing to support me, so there is no need for Your Highness to take more risks to invest."

Dilic was stunned.

"The one who sponsored it?"

"Yes, she is willing to provide 10,000 gold coins and some magic stones. I will use this to hire people and buy the necessary materials. Please help me introduce some craftsmen to Dilic."

Dilic was a little confused. He realized that it was unnecessary for him to argue. He was also impressed by Rudy's unexpected execution and ability to break the deadlock, so he sighed.

"As expected, everyone around Mr. Allen is very good. I used to think you were just a good magician, but after spending some time with you recently, I found that you are excellent in all aspects."

Rudy was a little proud of being praised, "That's right."

"So who is the other party? It shouldn't be the Kele'er family. His Majesty the Water God doesn't have many assets."

"Um, that's Count Lilson."

"Ah~ So it's her. Didn't Lilson pass away? He left behind only a widowed wife. Uh."

As he spoke this, Dilik's expression changed from sudden realization to surprise, then to horror, and then he stood there in amazement, making “uh uh uh” sounds for a long time.

Rudy felt very uncomfortable under Dilic's inquiring gaze. He felt that he was really about to have an ED, so he quickly stood up.

"That's all for today. I'm leaving now."

"Ah! Wait, do you want to have dinner together?"

"never mind."

"Do you have an appointment with the countess?"

"???"

The two of them walked to the door of the library, talking to each other. Just as they were about to open the door, Rudy turned around for some reason and looked at Qixing, who was standing on the bookshelf about ten meters behind him, searching for books.

He turned around and was about to push the door and leave.

At this moment, from the distant distance behind, where my eyes had just come into contact, a faint and encouraging shout came.

Hearing this, Rudy's hand froze on the door handle and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint.

“Meet tsukata!!”

-

"Finally, I found you.
Elina Lijie, Talhand. Thank you for seeing my call and coming to see me.
Thank you so much! ”

The Kingdom of Asura, one of the five star cities bordering the northern part of Usir Territory, Likashan City.

The dejected man who was looking for his wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his former teammates of the Black Wolf Fang.

"I won't ask you to write off the past. You can hit me, scold me, or even make me lick your shoes!"

"Please help me find my family!"
