People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"Stupid!" Shi Huaiya snorted and corrected, "Of course we won't investigate the VIP's information casually. That's something we shouldn't know!"

"We are just checking which VIPs have checked into our hotel as a routine! This way we can do a better job of security. This is the news we should know."

The manager was a little confused: "But isn't it the same? Once the investigation is done, then we will know everything we should and shouldn't know, right?"

Shi Huaiya rolled his eyes and asked:

"You're right, but if we don't know everything, how can we know what we should know and what we shouldn't know?"

The manager opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He felt that something was not right, but he also felt that what Miss Shi Huaiya said made sense. In the end, he could only nod:

"I see, I see. I'll check it out right away."

A few minutes later, the list was sent to Shi Huaiya's mobile phone.

Looking at the name of Ernst Shivaash displayed on it, Shi Huaiya smiled.

Hey, he finally caught me.

One day, she actually gets the superpower to take a "blue pill" and punch the opponent through the screen!

Although this superpower requires some money, it doesn't affect anything!

Tomorrow morning, I will go to the scene to urge for more updates!

Shi Huaiya thought so, looked out the window at the sun that had risen at some point, and blinked.

"Forget it, let's go in the afternoon."

Chapter 380 Let’s create a super IP!

Looking at the little tiger in front of him who was excitedly asking about the next content of "The History of the Kingdoms of Erzheres - The Legend of King Arthur", Ernst's expression was a little embarrassed.

Ernst was indeed not mentally prepared for Shi Huaiya who suddenly came to his house in the afternoon.

It cannot be said that he and Shi Huaiya were complete strangers, but at least they could be called very familiar strangers.

After all, the mascot meme of [Don't practice, Shi Huaiya, she is just a mascot] was very popular for a while, so much so that Shi Huaiya, who had nothing to do with the mascot in the game plot, got such a nickname, which continued until she became an alien.

It has to be said that this nickname is indeed a bit offensive, and it is almost comparable to the popular nipple joke back then. If it weren’t for the later appearance of more offensive nicknames and curses such as Si Ye (Si Ye) and Wu Ye, you are giving away a five-star male mystic in this event, the word mascot would probably not have been so quickly deconstructed into a simple nickname.

However, to be honest, Ernst's understanding of Shi Huaiya was limited to this. When she found him and told him her identity and name, Ernst's first reaction was - do I have to pay for the hotel room myself?

Fortunately, Shi Huaiya quickly made his purpose clear, otherwise Ernst would really have to consider writing a short essay to complain about the Casimir people's hospitality.

The Kjerag Hotel where Russell stayed when she was in Kjerag was also funded by Ernst's government. Those who know know that the environment of the Kjerag Hotel is first-class in the whole Kjerag, while those who don't know think that Ernst made them live in the Gulag and was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

But even so, Ernst was still embarrassed.

It's not like he had never encountered offline urging for updates. In the Dukedom of Caister, he was urged once by the Duke of Caister, and in Columbia, he was also urged once by Miss Miloqi. But of these two urging, one was just a symbolic urging, using the excuse of urging for updates to talk about other things. The other one simply thought the book was good, and didn't have so many fantastic ideas.

There was only Shi Huaiya. Facing her, Ernst used the four embarrassing secrets of sidelong glances, scratching his face, slightly opening his lips, and being unable to speak!

Because the questions asked by Miss Shi Huaiya were indeed difficult for him to answer.

"Mr. Ernst, does the illustration you included at the end of the story have any other meaning?"

"Other meanings?" Ernst was stunned.

Can I tell you that it was actually the resentment I felt for getting six Battle of Camlann suits in a row?

"Is that beam of light descending from the sky a call from the gods? Does the "To be continued" you wrote at the end have any deeper meaning?"

"Uh..." Ernst's mouth twitched.

That light... that was so bright. Could it be that it didn't mean anything?

Tsk, that doesn't seem right.

You may not believe it, but I actually planned to write a female Arthur at first.

After all, the image of a certain Saber is indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts. Ernst has also considered that, anyway, they are all legends that cannot be explained clearly. King Arthur is also a legend on Earth. Naturally, he can make up whatever he wants on Terra. Anyway, it is first-hand goods.

But he didn't do it in the end.

The reasons are complicated. On one hand, Ernst didn't dare to be too presumptuous because of Levi, a fellow Earthling. If he wrote the book directly in XP, he would feel a little ashamed of being a cyber exhibitionist. On the other hand...

When he first started writing the first draft of the Arthurian legend, he did write about women, but the next day, when he was at work, he met Vina.

Sometimes, if you don't pay attention or have a reference point, you may not realize it at all. But once you notice something, it will always linger in your mind and you can't get rid of it.

Ernst was really unimpressed at first, after all, Vina didn't usually speak Japanese. But when she wrote a saber version of King Arthur's legend, he couldn't wait to ask her to call him "master" as soon as he heard Vina speak.

In fact, he really did that.

When Vina called him "Master" with a confused look on her face but still blushing, Ernst felt really good for a while. He even had the urge to ask her to change her name and call him that all the time.

But he quickly reacted.

its not right.

I am white-haired, and I am not a pure-blooded nightmare (orc), I am mixed with some other elements, I live in an isolated utopia (Kjerag), I can barely be considered as the teacher of Vina who dropped out of prenatal education, I taught her a lot. Vina is also the crown prince of Victoria, the equivalent of the British Empire in another world, who is very lacking in virtue, but she is living abroad and cannot inherit the throne for the time being.

Right, all right.

There were only two problems. First, Vina was not the son of a red dragon, but a descendant of the lion Aslan. The red dragon Draco had been officially confirmed to be extinct, so unless Vina's father had made some unspeakable mistakes, Vina could not be considered the chosen red dragon of Britain. Second, Vina was still missing a sword.

Whether it was a red dragon or not was easy to solve. After all, it was at most a claim to be a deified monarch. As a descendant of the first emperor of Terra, Luga Sargus, Vina, who had the blood of Aslan, was not short of such things. But the sword of the king-chooser, which could fire light cannons, was still unsettled for the time being.

As for me?

I...I think I'm Merlin?

Ah, this.

In order to ensure that he would not be kicked to death by a certain Fu Fu, Ernst decisively modified the script.

Child, you think too much, King Arthur, he can't be a girl!

"So, Mr. Ernst, is the Arthurian legend really over?"

Shi Huaiya asked expectantly.

This is also the question she is most curious about.

From the perspective of a legendary story, "The Legend of King Arthur" is indeed a perfect ending.

Although his ending may not be perfect, Ernst's work is not a fairy tale. The so-called epic is about having enough epic feeling, a chapter that is composed of laughter and tears, pain and joy, success and failure, rise and fall, honor and disgrace. And "The Legend of King Arthur" has obviously achieved this.

The Water Margin is good because of Zhao'an. Everyone knows that the ending of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that the three kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, but we are still moved by the loyalty of Chu Shi Biao, admire Guan Yu's righteousness, shocked by Cao Mengde's treachery, and die of laughter at Hefei, the King of Wu of Wei.

So, Ernst could undoubtedly say, it was over.

But at this moment, Ernst had other ideas.

Is the brand of "Ers" limited to this?

Frankly speaking, Ernst's output was very low. As Kjerag's prime minister, he had many things to do, and he didn't have much energy to devote to writing. In the past, before the establishment of the World Summit system, he could spare some free time, but now, his schedule was full every day, and there were too few opportunities to really stop and have enough time to think, recall, conceive, consider, and write.

But Ernst didn't want "Ers" to die halfway. The fact that this brand could attract the eldest daughter of a business family like Swire shows that it has great potential. Instead of "ending" it, it is better to give it and "King Arthur (Ers)" a chance.

Let a magically modified history appear, spread, and take root in Terra in another form, not just books. Ernst can harvest another sign with great potential - this potential is far beyond Ernst's previous life's Type-Moon, and can approach or even surpass the Pokémon that also "constructs a different world", reaching the level of fantasy world paradigms such as Dragon Quest. His initial wish, or selfish desire, is to hope that the story of another "land" can also be remembered here by more people, even if they don't know what it is and what it means.

So, Ernst shook his head.

"It's not over."

He looked at Shi Huaiya and smiled:

"Ms. Shi Huaiya, do you want to know the follow-up?"

"If you want to know, I can slowly tell you the story of this IP."

Shi Huaiya was stunned, but her keen business sense also made her immediately realize the implication in Ernst's words.

She didn't expect to gain this from this trip, but it just happened to fit her idea.

She wanted to leave the Shi Huaiya family and make something of herself. And if Ers is really made into a project IP, according to Shi Huaiya's intuition, the future should be bright!

Even if her vision was not good, at least her grandfather, Adams Shi Huaiya, should have good vision. The old man lying on the hospital bed had extremely high standards for judging commercial works, but even so, he praised "Ers", so Shi Huaiya naturally had no concerns.

What? You said that trusting the vision of the older generation is also considered relying on the family?

What is vision? When it comes to investment, vision is only the first step. Sufficient courage, capital to gamble, and the right timing and luck are the real keys! Shi Huaiya has been taught this truth since he was a child. Could it be that just because he wants to make a career for himself, he has to abandon all the knowledge he has accumulated in the family, the methods he has learned, and the habits he has developed?

Doing that is just splitting a living person. I don't know if it will lead you to success, but it will definitely lead you to schizophrenia!

Besides, Mr. Ernst, your reputation is well-known and everyone can see it!

As the leader of the new generation of Terra, he has a reputation for himself. In the World Expo, all countries except Ursus participated. In the International Games, Casimir responded positively to his proposals. At least from the current facts, if you follow him, you will definitely win!

What are you waiting for?

Then, Miss Beatrix Swire straightened her expression, looked into Ernst's eyes, and said seriously:

"Of course, I'd like to hear more about it!"

Chapter 381: Hard-core ruthless man Maenna—the invincible family hero!

"You mean, Ernst and the Dragon Gate representative, Beatrix Swire, chatted in the room all day?"

"When Miss Shi Huaiya came out, she didn't look tired at all. On the contrary, she looked rosy-cheeked and energetic. But Ernst looked dry-mouthed?"

Russell looked at the spy standing in front of him, who was dressed in the uniform of a waiter from the Shihuaiya-Victoria Hotel, and repeated in summary the information he had obtained, then showed a surprised expression.

The question was not whether there was something wrong with the information, but rather her identity as a spy.

This doesn't sound like intelligence, but more like the headline of the Red Wine News. Did you contribute to the Red Wine News before you joined the Business Federation?

Hiss—that’s not right. The title of the Red Wine Newspaper would be more concise. Russell still remembered that when he visited Lin Guang’s house before, he saw the Red Wine Newspaper that Ma Enna had not finished reading on the table.

Russell was also puzzled as to why Manna liked to read those third-rate tabloids. Manna argued:

"It's just to kill time between work, why should I care what newspaper I read?"

"It can entertain me in my fragmented time. It is a good entertainment magazine. I don't care what is published in it."

But Russell always felt that this reason was not the whole story.

There are so many things you can read for fun, but why do you read the wine newspaper? I think you are just going for the gossip, right?

However, Russell also has to admit that the Red Wine News is not completely without value. Although those exaggerated headlines and false descriptions can only mislead readers in many cases, they are published very quickly.

How fast? For some hot news and urgent intelligence, the news may not be reported by Russell's intelligence personnel yet, but it has already been published in the Red Wine Newspaper. So much so that Russell has to subscribe to a special copy of the Red Wine Newspaper when he subscribes to newspapers.

Timeliness is the most important element of intelligence. Without timeliness, intelligence is meaningless even if it is true. As long as the intelligence is timely enough, even if it is wrong and requires trial and error, it is better than nothing.

It is precisely because every reporter of the Red Wine News adheres to the characteristics of speed and authenticity, that is, to find news if there is news, and to risk their lives to make big news if there is no news, that this gossip newspaper, which should have been a third-rate tabloid, has been able to achieve its current position and occupy half of the Casimir newspaper industry.

If the rigorous and professional Rose Newspaper is Yukinoshita Yukino, then the Red Wine Newspaper is Sayu, the heroine who shaves and then picks up the girls' high school!

The crotch is rotten, but some people like it, and because it is cheap, it has a market to some extent.

Russell couldn't help but ask about the intelligence officer's origin. After learning that the other party was of good family background, that his family only had a thousand acres of fertile land and that their family had relied on farming and studying for generations, Casimir Lao Ma Ziqi, finally felt relieved.

It cannot be said that it has been let go, it can only be said that it is letting go.

Because she didn't dare to investigate further.

I have just finished negotiations with the representative of Yan State. This representative has a military background and served in the army in his early years. He now lives in Yumen, an important border town in Dayan, and is a good friend of Yumen border general Zuo Xuanliao.

We also discussed with the representative of Longmen, who was the eldest daughter of the Victoria Swire Group. At first glance, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but why was the representative of Longmen a Victorian?

Isn't it because, as everyone knows, the current head of the Shi Huaiya family, Adams Shi Huaiya, and a certain Governor Wei Yanwu, who does not want to reveal his real name, are close friends?

How close is their relationship? The best known close buddies are those who have fought together and visited prostitutes together. Wei Yanwu is a pure love war god, so he has no chance of the latter. But Adams has really fought with Wei Yanwu.

In the past, Longmen was not managed by Yan State.

As a family member sent by the patriarch of a large family with whom Wei Yanwu had carried out the "snake catching operation" and with whom he had a close relationship, Shi Huaiya's background had actually been determined from the moment he arrived in Casimir.

This is not even her own wish. Before she has truly achieved more than her father's achievements, people will always see her as "Adams' granddaughter" and "the new generation of Swire", rather than "Miss Beatrix".

The shadow of fame.

Behind Shi Huaiya is Adams, and behind Adams is most likely Wei Yanwu.

Russell is not from Yan country, but coincidentally, she has an immersive experience of this kind of situation where border generals collude with the central authorities.

Among Casimir's expeditionary knights, except for the Silver Spear Pegasus which she directly led, she herself couldn't tell which knights had accepted bribes from the Chamber of Commerce and which knights had betrayed her.

It would be better to ask what have been confiscated...
