People in Terra, governing a weird little country

But he soon pulled himself together, and with a touch of Victorian optimism, he thought to himself:

Fortunately, I was quick to react. Otherwise, why do we say Victorians are elegant? This is the art of speaking!

PS: I saw the pictures of the setting collection posted by YJ. Although it was not elaborated in detail, the content released is still worth looking forward to.

The only pity is that the perspective of this setting collection seems to be mainly based on the perspective of "a Terran", that is to say, the perspective and setting may have limitations.

The most critical settings of Originium, the survival of civilization, the Demon King, etc., will probably be kept secret, because with the professor's perspective and knowledge, he obviously cannot understand these. There may not even be much content related to Agor.

But this is not bad. After all, it is the first text setting collection. I hope that YJ, who has been hyping it up for half a day, will not make it as bad as the first art setting collection. When the time comes, I will definitely pre-order one as soon as possible!

Chapter 69 Ernst Has Paid the Price

Kjerag, Tukarim, is the magnificent headquarters of the Kalan Trade in Kjerag.

Enchiodis has been feeling irritable lately.

He found that no matter how hard he tried to talk, he seemed to have been losing more than winning in his recent competition with Ernst!

The invited representative of the Duke of Windermere encountered an accident halfway through the journey, and after being rescued by Ernst, he ignored me completely. His entire trip was almost entirely spent on the Kjerag government, and he didn't even take a look at the Kalan trade.

The tax system formulated by the Three-Clan Conference also suffered a loss. Because of its low moral level, it accepted Ernst's backstab and paid taxes to the government according to the normal tax process in exchange for the rights and conveniences of Kalan Trade to continue to be the "only state-owned enterprise."

Even his carefully prepared infrastructure plan, as well as the direction of Tukarim's urban development, was criticized by the designer Ernst brought in from Colombia. But when he heard it, he found that the criticism was true and had no way to refute it.

This is really fatal.

If I were to describe Boss Yin’s current mental state, it would really be like Mahenna having diarrhea – Uncle (lost) over and over again (poop)!

It was impossible for Enchiodis to admit that he had been ill-considered in pushing his brother to the position of prime minister. After all, even if he lost, in the long run, Kjerag's future would just be transferred from one Shivaash to another.

But it is impossible to make him admit defeat!

Rather, what he wanted most was to slam the table and shout:

"Damn, this shouldn't happen. How did Kalan Trade become like this?"

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

A deep voice of concern brought Enxioudis back to his mind. The big snow leopard raised his head and looked at the horn peak at the door, calmed his expression, and replied:

"Nothing, nothing. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Jiaofeng looked at Yinhui with some concern. His boss's mental state has been a little bad recently. Should he consider inviting Nosis back early?

It’s not that Nosis has studied psychology, but when he is around, at least the boss has someone to vent his anger on instead of keeping it to himself.

Let's go back and discuss this with Weiss.

Jiaofeng thought about it and got back to the topic:

"Boss, there are some problems with the Longmen batch of goods."

Enchiodis frowned, looking puzzled. "Longmen? Haven't we been to Longmen many times? We should have arranged everything, so why did a problem suddenly arise this time?"

He sat up straight and asked seriously:

"Tell me more specifically?"

Jiaofeng said: "This is a strange thing. Our caravan was just like usual until it entered Longmen. Everything was normal and smooth. But on the second day after entering Longmen, things started to go wrong."

"The caravan had just finished counting the goods and was preparing to go to the commercial street to sell them. There was no news from the Rat King. But as soon as our people left the warehouse, they found that the Guards were following them."

"Guards?" Enthiotis looked puzzled.

Although theoretically, the Longmen Guard Bureau, as the official law enforcement agency of Longmen, does have the right to supervise all the large and small vendors in Longmen, but according to Enchiodis's understanding, the number of times they actually took action against vendors is actually very few.

One of the main reasons why Longmen's trade is so prosperous is that most of the merchants enjoy Longmen's special status in Dayan and even Terra, and are not subject to too many laws. Most of the time, what constrains Longmen's merchants is one or more sets of underground rules.

This set of rules belongs to the Rat King, the Shihuaiya Group, and the Longmen Chamber of Commerce, but not the Guards Bureau.

Ensiodis thought about it carefully. It seems that Kalan Trade didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right? We, Kjerag, just sell some minerals, furs, and handicrafts, and purchase some small stoves, new tools, and radios with better signals. No matter how you look at it, it won't alarm the Guard Bureau, right?

How did I offend Wei Yanwu?

Enthiotis was puzzled, but what he didn't expect was that this was not the end.

Jiao Feng continued, "The second day was just surveillance. Although our people were confused, they just thought it was because the New Year was approaching and Longmen was strengthening its defense. But we didn't expect the third day!"

"On the third day, the Imperial Guard Bureau directly brought people to raid our warehouse!"

Enthyodis stood up suddenly and looked at Jiaofeng in disbelief:

"They raided our warehouse? What's the reason?"

"Safety inspection." Jiaofeng replied, "Officer Xingxiong, who led the team, opened and inspected all our goods one by one. After confirming that there were no dangerous goods, he left. Apart from wasting our time for the whole morning, there was no loss, but it did scare the caravan members."

"What does this mean?" Enthiotis was even more confused.

The Guards led a team to raid the warehouse of Kalan Trading. This clearly showed that someone in the upper echelons of Longmen wanted to target Enthiotis. But after raiding the warehouse, they didn't take anything and didn't move anything. They just checked it once and left openly?

What do you mean? You, Wei Lao Er, didn't bring toilet paper when you went out this morning, and you came here to fart just to disgust me?

Damn it, do you think I, Kalan Trade, am easy to bully?

Believe it or not...I...I will not do business with you anymore, and you Longmen people will never be able to buy the high-quality and low-priced Snow Country products and the amulets blessed by Yelagund (fake) again?

"In any case, it's good that there is no loss of life or goods."

Just as Enchiodis breathed a sigh of relief, Jiaofeng continued:

"Don't worry, boss, they're here again on the fourth day!"

"Are there any more experts?" Enchiodis was stunned.

Jiao Feng shrugged helplessly and said, "We don't understand either. The Imperial Guard raided the warehouse again and checked the goods. This time, Officer Shi Huaiya led the team, but they still found nothing and left."

"Ah?" Enchiotis asked, "What about the fifth day? They come again?"

Probably to make Yinhui feel better, Jiaofeng nodded and praised him, "Boss, you are very smart and your guess was right! On the fifth day, the Guard Bureau sent someone again. This time it was the leader of the special inspection team, and Sir Chen came in person."

"And then what? Nothing found, nothing lost, and we went back home again?"

Jiao Feng shook his head: "There was a little accident this time. The small stove that Miss Vina asked Kalan Trade to buy was damaged during the inspection. But Sir Chen paid double compensation according to the regulations."

The Fengti man spread his hands and said

“So after rounding off, we still made a little profit!”

"Is Wei Yanwu making fun of me?" Enchiodis didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What special tricks were they performing? Do law enforcement agencies like the Guard Bureau have such abundant police resources? I was a small Kalan trader, but they checked three times in three days, with different people leading the team, and even failed to find anything and ended up losing money.

For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether Wei Yanwu was being rude to him or not.

He asked, "Didn't you complain to the Guards?"

Jiaofeng replied: "I appealed, and the Guards replied that they received a report from someone and were forced to respond. They also promised to investigate who made the false report and then compensate Kalan Trade for the losses incurred in the past few days according to the procedures. But..."

"But we can't wait for the money to come down, right?" Enchiodis continued.

The Kalan Trade caravan was originally a short-distance caravan. The caravan members would stay in Longmen for a maximum of one week before setting off back to Kjerag to participate in the New Year ceremony that was about to be held.

As we all know, the fastest civil servants' procedures are within 7 working days. When it comes to "compensation", it is handled with the highest standards. With the work system of the Longmen Guard Bureau of 6 days on and 1 day off, if you want to get the money now, you will have to wait until next week at the earliest.

By then, the opportunity was gone! Everyone was in Kjerag! There was not even a radio, so even if I wanted to notify them to collect their money, I didn’t have the conditions to do so!

As for leaving someone here to wait for the money, that is even more impossible.

The Kjerag people have a strong sense of localism, just as strong as Dayan people. Given this kind of cohesion, it is a tradition for people to go home for the New Year regardless of whether they have money or not. Can Enchiodis force them to stay voluntarily?

Besides, if we leave him here, when will we take him back? Can we let him go back by himself? Aren't we afraid that he will meet bandits and rusty hammers in the wilderness and lose his life?

If they wait until the festival is over, the next caravan to Longmen will not arrive for at least two months. The food, accommodation and entertainment expenses during these two months will have to be reimbursed by public funds, which will almost be more than the compensation. How can Enchiodis do such a loss-making business?

After making a choice, the money could only be donated to Longmen Charity Foundation as a donation to help Wei Yanwu win.

"Tsk." Enxioudis smacked his lips. Thinking of the recent setbacks for Kalan Trade, he could only slam the table in anger, "Don't let me know who did this!"

"Otherwise, I, Enchiodis, will make him pay the price!"

PS: But Ernst has paid the price - referring to the small stove.

PS2: py is a book by a friend, it's really bad.

Traveling to the dangerous world of Bengtie, as an ordinary person, Lu Feng must find someone to hold on to if he wants to survive!

Those who regard the enemy as their father and frequently change their allegiance are slaves of three surnames. But as long as I hold enough thighs, I will be the starry sea strategist who fears the starry sea when he is angry and the universe is extinguished when he lives in peace!

He had personally heard the teachings of [Abundance] under the wandering star Rahu:

"The King of Medicine's words opened my eyes, like a cloud of fog has been cleared and the sun has been shining on my head!"

Also bowed before [Hunting]——

"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your foster father!"

He led a vast army to bring destruction and devastation to countless worlds.

"The heroes of the universe treat me like grass. I am willing to lead an army of tigers and wolves, cut off their heads and throw them into the furnace of war!"

Until he met the nameless guests who inherited the will of [exploration]——

"I have been hurt by alcohol and sex, and I am so haggard... From today on, I will give up drinking!"

On the final battlefield——

Nanook: "My son Lu Feng, why is it so?"

"Shut up! A real man lives between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under others for a long time?"

"Nanook, you and I are irreconcilable. Take my halberd!"

Nanook: ???

Chapter 1093: This Land at the End of

Ernst received the letter from Vina and felt incredible:

"Is this true? Is she really a genius?"

Is Wei Lao Er that easy to talk to? Although Ernst has not read the plot about Longmen, how can he think that the leader of a mobile city, who is also related to the Emperor of Da Yan, would definitely be a boss character with high health bar if he were not a friendly party in the game. How could he be so easy to deal with?

Or does Vina have some Originium skill that can manipulate people's hearts? Is she able to easily control Wei Yanwu?

Ernst didn't really believe what Vina said in the letter, that he had learned a lot in Kjerag, so once he put it into practice, he immediately achieved remarkable results. Are you kidding me? I can't even do this myself, how could you learn it from me?

This is not the way to achieve victory: surpassing the master.

"Oh, it seems that Miss Vina has a lot of things to hide from us." Holhaiya, who was leaning next to Ernst's head, also finished reading the letter, and a meaningful smile appeared on her slightly raised lips. "However, it seems that she is going to complete her task beyond her normal level. This is a good thing, isn't it?"

"That's right." Ernst nodded and muttered, "I hope she doesn't forget what she promised."

"Come to think of it, Kjerag has been so quiet lately that it's a little scary." Holhaiya said with some emotion as he looked out the window at the thick snow and several Kjerag children playing snowball fights on the snow.

"Horrible? This kind of life is the norm in Kjerag," Ernst replied. "Not every place on this earth is like Colombia, where it can change completely after just three days of absence."

"Rather, the changes that have taken place in Kjerag in the last few decades have surpassed those in the past several thousand years."

This is a major change that has not been seen in a century, no, it’s a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years!

Although the impact of this major change is far less extensive than imagined, it is still a rare opportunity for Kjerag.

Looking out the window at what might be the last heavy snowfall of 1093, Ernst took the teacup from Holheya and acquiesced to her use of his big tail as a warm blanket to cover her legs and start reading. He took a sip of the hot tea and silently prayed in the steam according to Kjerag's tradition:

“Hopefully, everything goes well next year.”

A lot happened in Terra in 1093.

Kazdel's general Tresis officially ended the civil war, gathered the remaining forces of his sister Theresa, and nominally unified the major Sarkaz tribes as the chairman of the Military Committee and regent.

But in fact, whether it was the remnant forces of the Tower of Babel that had escaped from Kazdel and reorganized into Rhodes Island, or the Banshee Court and a small number of Sarkaz mercenaries who were loyal to Theresa, they still did not obey Theresa's leadership.

The angry voices and radicalism within Kazdel itself did not gradually disappear with the end of the war. Instead, because they had lost their enemy, they began to turn their spearheads against each other.

Tracy has realized this.

He awakened the beast, relied on him to build the present Kazdel, and tore apart his sister's dreams, but at this moment, the beast had begun to run wild, out of control of no one.

He had to lead the beast in another direction before it completely broke free from his restraints, so that it would not hurt the Sarkaz itself, or even use it to achieve the Sarkaz's goals.
