The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

"Ivignad said with difficulty."

“I know, it’s okay—the Tower of Babel has it.”

These words stunned Ivignad.

"teacher?"

"Yes, a complete set of new currency, from the master plate to the printing press, which I just brought out from the underground warehouse in Lungmen."

The White Emperor naturally had no idea why the Tower of Babel had this—it was actually a product of Qiao Yelan's initial version of the [Lungmen Coin Project].

This was designed by Da Yan, but in the beginning, Qiao Yelan did not intend for Da Yan to carry out the Lungmen Coin promotion plan alone. Instead, Ursus and Da Yan were partners.

You can always trust how badly those Russians are economically disastrous.

So Babel designed a set of currency and master plates in advance, and even stockpiled a batch of printing presses, just to ensure that the plan would not be delayed.

The rest is history.

So after Qiao Yelan handed over the Lungmen Coins to Da Yan, he was already thinking about how to make use of them—then he remembered that he had messed up Letania's economy before and hadn't fixed it yet.

So after making some minor modifications, the entire set of facilities was sent to Trinityl, making use of the waste.

So that's why the teacher went to Dayan.

Ivignad suddenly realized what was going on, and all her previous grievances and complaints vanished instantly.

She knew that the teacher would never abandon them for his own selfish interests.

It turns out that Qiao Yelan had foreseen this hidden danger long ago. He knew that if he did this in Cuilintelme, it would be easy for the secret to be leaked. So he went to Lungmen and, taking advantage of the momentum of the Great Yan promoting Lungmen currency, quietly prepared a whole set of new currency for himself.

"thank you teacher."

"Do we need to say this between us?"

Qiao Yelan waved his hand.

If we don't give it to you to use, it will only be thrown into the furnace for secondary recycling. It's already a pleasant surprise that this thing can still be used.

"However, there is another matter that you need to pay attention to."

"Teacher, please tell me."

"Leytania has always been known for its Originium magic and sorcerers. There probably aren't many warriors who rely solely on physical combat, right?"

Ivignad nodded.

"Yes, there aren't many. Even warriors usually have very impressive Originium magic abilities. For example, the Golden Law Guards are all excellent sonic magic users."

"Generally speaking, warriors who rely solely on their physical strength are extremely rare. However, in Letania, any warrior who dares to rely solely on their physical strength is an extremely formidable individual."

Qiao Yelan nodded; this was exactly what he wanted.

"I need you to find a way to help me recruit such talents, or at least warriors who mainly rely on physical combat and whose Originium magic is only an auxiliary skill."

Ivignad found Qiao Yelan's request quite strange.

Every country has its own unique characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. For example, Letania is most famous for its sorcerers who cast spells, while Kazimierz is most famous for its knights who fight with their bare hands.

Qiao Yelan has such a good relationship with Kazimierz. If he needs such warriors, why not just recruit a group of knights from Kazimierz? Why bother searching for a needle in a haystack in Letania?

"Are you confused?"

“Yes, if you need warlocks, I can immediately allocate a sufficient number for you, but warriors who rely primarily on physical strength... wouldn't it be better to recruit them in Kazimierz?”

Ivignad didn't hide anything; instead, she directly expressed her confusion.

“This time it won’t do—I’m going to take the warriors of Letania to Kazimierz and make them the gladiators there.”

Qiao Yelan gently shook her head.

A competitive knight?

Ivignad knew what it was. The Commercial Federation, in order to cultivate its own armed forces, established an entity modeled after the military in Kazimierz, called Knights, but in reality, they were completely different beings from the true Knights of the Overwatch Council.

The former are wild beasts for people to enjoy in the arena, while the latter are armies that can truly slaughter cities and destroy countries.

Aside from the fact that the results of each company-sponsored competitive knight in the triennial knightly tournament determine the list of plots to be pieced together to form the "Great Knight Territory," this thing serves almost no other purpose.

"In order to participate in the [Great Knight Territory], Babel Tower invited several outside helpers. However, these outside helpers have special identities, so they must be introduced under different identities. In the eyes of the Kazimierz, Babel Tower and Letania have been getting close in recent years, so they pretend to be Letanians."

Qiao Yelan explained.

"Then let's just pretend. Why do we really have to find the Leitanians?"

"Of course we need to find them. Not only do we need to find them, but we also need to form a team to go to Kazimierz to fight in the name of the Queen, as the representative of Letania."

what?

This is a competition that will determine the economic landscape for the next three years for the Business Federation. Why should she send a team to participate?

Would those people agree?

"The goal is not to win. You can just announce that Letania's ranking will not be counted in the results. They are only participating to promote cultural exchange between the two countries."

"I see... but is such a big fuss really necessary?"

Ivignad was still a little confused.

"Of course, the foreign aid I found this year is a bit too strong—or rather, too strong, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to spread the name of the Knights of Letania in Kazimierz."

Qiao Yelan yawned.

"Your fiefdom only has one Trilintelme, so you must find a way to expand the channels of communication with the outside world, such as establishing a sister city with Kazimierz—and spreading the reputation of the Knights of Letania will be very beneficial to the city's openness to external exchanges."

"This year, Babel will rely on the [Laitania foreign aid] to win the championship. If your team also achieves good results, it will make Kazimierz realize that the best way to achieve good results is to bring a few foreign aids from Laitania."

The man said nonchalantly.

"I'll find someone to help with training. First, I'll create a legend and make a three-time champion in Letania. Then, the Kazimierz people will definitely try their best to buy foreign players from the Letania region. After that, I'll let the team that bought foreign players win two championships, so that the Business Federation can taste some sweetness."

"But won't this provoke resistance from the Kasimir people?"

The woman blinked.

"It's alright, then Babel can start marketing the [Competitive Knights Order composed entirely of Kazimierzstans]."

Qiao Yelan said with a smile.

Release Notes

I'm very sorry, this month has been quite hectic, with one thing after another, so updates will be less frequent. I will try to update more often when I have time.

The monitor in my rented apartment is already broken after a year and a half. I was planning to argue with customer service, but for now I can only go back to my own home and take out my laptop to type.

Another question is that I'm a bit hesitant about the plot right now. I'd like to ask everyone whether to continue with this high density of strategic battles, or to relax a bit and lengthen the timeline.

Sometimes when I'm writing, it feels like I'm turning into a diary, a stream of consciousness, which feels a bit strange. I've revised it quite a bit, but I still have that feeling.

Chapter 154 Abduction

Qiao Yelan's duties as Vice Minister of Rites and concurrently Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies were effectively over when he arrived in Trinityl with the delegation.

During this period, the deputy envoy handled most of the paperwork, gift exchanges, and other negotiations. Qiao Yelan had even moved out of the diplomatic residence and into the guesthouse at Ludwig University.

Flamont is currently extremely busy, collecting everything in the ruins of the Tower of Origin bit by bit, from a candlestick to half a brick, even the shattered dust is being gathered up—because these things are all imbued with the power unique to the Witch King.

However, Qiao Yelan doesn't always stay in the guesthouse; there are always some guests he needs to go out and greet.

"Qiaoqiao! Have you found any trace of that guy?!"

A figure rushed towards Qiao Yelan with a gust of wind. Ace, standing beside him, felt his scalp tingle and didn't even have time to properly position his shield before the opponent broke through his defenses.

"Protect the doctor!"

He roared and, without thinking, bent over and rammed into the shield.

However, he missed his target.

Because that figure had already moved to the other side.

"Alright, everyone calm down. This is an old friend of mine who just came to play a joke on me. Don't be nervous. And Emperor, stop scaring the children like this. You can come to see me in a more normal way."

Qiao Yelan raised her hand somewhat helplessly, stopping the others who were crowding around.

The penguin wearing a thick gold chain glanced around indifferently, a hint of doubt on its face.

"Wait a minute, how come your guards have become so incompetent? What about those Sarkaz? What about that old Felin? And her steel spine?"

“Ahem, Kal'tsit has other things to do, and besides, talking badly about someone behind their back is not a good way to show bravery—of course, my security needs are very low right now, so there's no need to waste resources on that.”

The Emperor glanced thoughtfully at Qiao Yelan, narrowed his eyes, and said nothing more. Instead, he grabbed Qiao Yelan's hand with his two fins.

Tell me you have good news!

"Uh—actually no."

"Do not--!!!"

*An indescribable penguin scream*

Qiao Yelan waited patiently for the rap emperor to finish venting before speaking again.

"But don't worry, the net has been cast, and news will definitely come back soon—it's just that I have to stay in Trilintelme for the time being, because the largest group of scholars is in the Letania region, and I need to wait for news here. Why don't you come here with me and wait for news too?"
