Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

It’s spring again, and the flowers are blooming. Our Police Director Yves is doing his rounds in casual clothes as usual. In recent years, the crime rate in Liming City has plummeted under his hands. At most, he can only catch some petty thieves. In the past, I could occasionally catch two spies, but now I can't even find the spies.

Walking on such a city street, he felt very happy, because most of it was due to him.

Afterwards, Yves found a noodle shop and sat down, and began to enjoy his breakfast, but only halfway through eating the noodles, the beautiful tranquility was broken.

A policeman also in plainclothes found Yves and said:

"Captain, we stopped a man wearing rags at the Dawn City checkpoint. He wanted to force his way in, but we stopped him."

Yves put down the bowl and chopsticks and said: "There is still someone who dares to break in? Then why don't you just detain him and tell me why?"

"Captain, he has a gun! We are controlling the scene. He said he had something important to tell His Highness, but he couldn't produce anything that could prove his identity."

Yves was shocked and said: "What?! Is there a gun? Take me to see it quickly."

He rushed to the scene out of breath and found a large number of policemen pointing their guns at a man who was wearing rags, smelled a little, and looked like a beggar.

At the same time, the beggar also held a gun in his hand, but it was very short. He took another closer look, huh? Isn’t this the pistol that His Highness is about to equip our police?

Yves shouted: "Put down your guns! It's our own people!"

"Captain, do you know him?"

"I know that gun in his hand!"

After hearing Yves's voice, the beggar said: "Captain Yves?"

"Huh? Do you really know me?"

"I'm Abe, don't you remember me?"

Yves opened his eyes and took a closer look. It was indeed Abe, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time and almost didn't recognize him.

Yves smiled and said: "Abe, why are you like this? Your whole body is a mess and your face is covered with mud."

"We'll talk about this later. I have something very important to tell His Highness."

"Then you can't go see His Highness like this."

Abe thought for a while and said: "This is really inappropriate."

Yves pretended to be disgusted and said: "You stink, go take a shower and change clothes."

Abbey didn't shirk anymore. He spent about ten minutes getting his appearance in order and went to see Rhett. Rhett had already known the news and was waiting for Abbey.

"Your Highness!"

After Abe came in, he bent down and saluted.

"If it's urgent, you don't need so many etiquettes. Sit down quickly. I'm curious. I heard from Yves that you were unkempt when you came back. What's going on? Is there something you can't ask someone else to send a letter to? And how did you get picked up? Block it out?"

"Your Highness, I encountered a wave of bandits on my way back. Thanks to the revolver you gave me, I saved my life. But unfortunately, everything else on me was lost, including money and things that can prove my identity."

Rhett said: "That's true, but it's okay! Liming City renews its ID card every year, and I will get a new one for you when you come back this time."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Tell me what urgent matter you have when you come back this time."

"Your Highness" Abe looked around.

Rhett knew this was something very important, and he was afraid that others would hear him. There were only Yves and a few other guards around. The guards were all knights who had been protecting Red since he was a child.

"There are no other outsiders around here, just tell me."

"Okay, Your Highness, I found information about the oil you mentioned this time. I remember you said that this resource is very important, so I went to collect the information myself."

Rhett suddenly stood up.

oil! ! !

Oil was finally found! If oil can no longer be found, then Red will have no choice but to deviate from the earth's technological line and create his own steam-power era based on steam engines and electric motors.

By then, who knows what it will develop into, maybe it will be like the Fanxi clan in "The Continuation of the Legend", becoming a different entity.

But now that he has found oil, he can still relax and follow the earth's technological development path.

Rhett said excitedly: "Please tell me in detail."

Abe recounted his experience of searching for Blackwater Village. His newly heated mood felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, but this also made Red calm down.

According to Abe, Blackwater Village is just a legendary place among most people. No one has ever been there personally, and most people are just curious about Blackwater, that is, oil, and are not very enthusiastic about it, but this is normal. .

On Earth, oil was only taken seriously by people after the mid-19th century. But the more important reason why Blackwater Village is mysterious is because of the Egwene grass.

When almost everyone mentions the legend of Blackwater Village, they will put Egwene's grass first. What exactly is Egwene's grass? Rhett doesn't know, maybe it's some important magic raw material. You can ask Miriam about this when you have time.

But there is still good news. At least this Blackwater Village is within the territory of the West Bay Federation. Currently, the trade relationship between the West Bay Federation and the Sunri Republic is harmonious. You can try to get some important information about this Blackwater Village from them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Abe."

"It's okay, this is what I should do. Oh, by the way, Your Highness, I have one more thing to say. I got a lot of news on my way back from the West Bay Federation. Do you still remember the last letter I gave you? "

Rhett thought for a while and said: "Are you talking about the news about many refugees entering Stephen's Empire? Your men have already inquired and cleared that up. There is a war in the north of Stephen's Empire, but I am curious about how those small countries interacted with Stephen. "Empire versus Empire"

Abe shook his head and said: "No, Your Highness, it is not those small countries that are fighting against the Stephen Empire, but the cultists leading the army of monsters that are invading the entire human federation!"

Reid was surprised: "How is that possible? Did they break through the World of Warcraft border? Otherwise, how did they bypass the Warcraft Mountains?"

"Same as seven years ago, they broke through the Warcraft Mountains. The sky and the earth shook. The guard in the town closest to the Warcraft Mountains in the Kingdom of Hu Lin saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. The continuous mountains were covered by a black and purple streak. The beam opened a big gap."

The earth is shaking? Could it be that day? The day the seismometer went wrong? Isn’t it the Stephen Empire causing trouble? How did the cultists get through the gap that could accommodate the continuous entry and exit of the army in such a short period of time?

Reid asked: "You mean, someone in the West Bay Federation knows about this?"

"That's right"

"Then it seems that the relationship between the West Bay Federation and us is not as good as it seems..."
