Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

Even if it is going to be dragged out and killed, people have to eat the food well. They are all adhering to the spirit of cooking [Italian evening entertainment is cooking], although the son-in-law of the godfather is terrified as a "Judas" Uneasy, but still eating quietly.

The meals of the Syracuses usually consist of rice noodles, which are very similar to Dayan. There are usually thousands of types of noodles, and if they are used to entertain distinguished guests, they naturally serve the classic red noodles in the local area.

However, as far as Lao Xia’s taste is concerned, something is not right, because in his eating habits, this thing should be regarded as a staple food, not a "dish", just like the Japanese would serve with ramen noodles eccentric.

Xia Lin and Shi Huaiya didn't use much, and the godfather didn't force it. Although in the etiquette of Syracuse, it is a compliment to the chef to eat the food clean and use up the sauce, but he will not deliberately force the guests to do so , If you really don’t like to eat, you can skip it or eat less.

After all, their greatest table manners are to eat and drink as much as they want, there is no need to be so rigid. Next, the attendant served absinthe to aid digestion for everyone present, and Shi Huaiya could barely accept it. But Lao Xia could only decline, and then took out his own drink.

If it was in Victoria, the owner would probably turn his face on the spot, but in a place like Syracuse, it would not be the case at all. The other party would only be very enthusiastic and curious about the taste of the wine you brought, and would like to try something new.

After drinking some of Lao Xia Dai's sweet rice wine, the godfather began to talk about the next topic, which is the real serious business. In the first interval, they reached a consensus on Lisa's treatment, which can be regarded as a relative agreement between the two sides. Friendly and cooperative tone, then you can start more in-depth and serious topics.

The reason why we choose to talk during the serving time is also to allow both parties to have time to think, instead of suddenly falling into silence together, using eating as a cover, and at the same time providing nutrition and energy for the next confrontation is the purpose.

Regarding the instigation of the dock workers' strike, the godfather agreed to help in principle, but Lao Xia needs to come up with enough price or remuneration, "The family only controls half of the dock workers, if it is only half, it is not enough, workers Maybe they will not go to work temporarily because of fear, but as long as the other half is still working and paid, they will eventually give in for money and reality," said the godfather calmly.

"That was before, soon, there will be no other half, isn't there?" Old Xia shrugged, "Also, I think the other half of the workers may not live better than the Corleone family, so why can't we be more frank and straightforward? Woolen cloth?"

"That would cost a lot of money, and I'm already old." The godfather said after thinking for a moment, implying that he was already old, and he didn't want to provoke the Syracuse family to live a life of fighting and killing. The old man always wanted to be peaceful. and cozy.

"However, I can help you try to convince the other half of the family, it's just..." It's just that you have to show enough sincerity.

"The 20% distribution agreement, I don't care how others distribute this issue, but I only accept 20%." Lao Xia took out the first benefit, simply put, the Xia Group will bear 20% of the red wine and olives produced by Syracuse , The distribution of edible oil, no matter whether they can digest or sell it, they will purchase so much at a reasonable price every year.

As far as a country is concerned, this is already an extremely large amount of expenditure and income. Not to mention the mafia, even the Syracuse government has to break its head for this. This is simply an iron rice bowl.

"That's really, really generous"

"But it works with generosity" is like giving a gift. It is better to break through the other party's psychological expectations at once than to add oil and pull slowly. In this process, it was pulled up a little bit, resulting in only a very low gift effect.

And this 20% distribution agreement is the benefit of directly breaking through the bottom line, and it also clearly reveals an awareness, that is, there is no room for bargaining, and you don't earn this money?There are plenty of opportunities for people who want to make money.

After the distribution agreement was put forward, all the subsequent problems were small problems that were easy to solve. The subsequent agreement basically consisted of the two parties raising some trivial matters, and more importantly, discussing the details and talking about some irrelevant matters.

For example, Syracuse’s preferences, markets, agricultural products, etc. For the mafia, they are the same as Casimir’s federation, and they don’t actually care about the life and death of farmers in the countryside. However, a little different is that Syracuse Most of the ancient manors are in the hands of these families, and these farmers who have been attached to them for generations are almost becoming de facto followers, and they are relatively more concerned about the livelihood of these people.

However, the previous 20% distribution agreement has ensured the livelihood of these people and the interests of the family, so the life and death of those self-cultivated farmers, small farmers, and small manor owners outside the manor are not their concern.

And Xia Lin really didn't intend to use Syracuse as a dumping place for food, without him, the population is too small, the city-state is too scattered, and the days are different for ten miles, which is the true portrayal of this place. It is profitable to sell to Victoria.

Moreover, as an industrial country, Victoria has a lot of room for dumping. The capitalists are happy with cheap food, because cheap food can feed more workers, which can further cut workers' wages and reduce production costs. Of course, this is another point for the Great Depression. There was a fire.

The British Industrial Revolution was based on the entry of cheap food and condiments from the colonies, so as to defeat a group of competitors and achieve an empire that never sets. Victoria’s situation is the same as that of the United Kingdom. They actually need cheap agricultural products. It is also the reason why they will never send troops to directly help Tracys.

Because if you tear yourself apart like this, Lao Xia and Casimir, the two largest food suppliers, will raise prices unanimously, which will immediately knock Victoria's economy to the ground. Of course, this will also cause great harm to the two countries. Loss of profit, as long as you don't tear your face.

It's not surprising that business is done after fighting wars again and again, not to mention that there is no direct war yet, it's just a small group of "stubborn smugglers" who are smuggling Victoria's standard weapons to Kazdale, and the Shuaiya family is not also He was smuggling Victoria's standard armor and equipment for Lao Xia, and even helped order armored cruisers.

The next dinner party can be regarded as a feast for the guests and the host, because the serious things that need to be discussed are almost the same, and there is no talk. Huai Ya was a little unaccustomed to it.

The main reason is that Syracuse cuisine is used to "breaking raw", that is, to cook the food thoroughly, rather than half-to-medium-cooked for the sake of freshness, and it is almost rare to eat raw.

However, on the whole, it is still the style of western food. The little tiger is just not used to it, and it is not to the point that it is completely unbearable. Moreover, the godfather can be said to be a witty and elegant old man when he is not talking about serious things.

This is not only true of him, every gentleman in the upper class can be said to be such a "good guy" in the conventional sense when he does not involve interests or discuss how much blood has been stained on his hands.

And Xia Lin chose to cooperate with the mafia instead of these gentlemen because of the same reason. Everyone has blood on their hands, and no one is cleaner than the other. Even because the mafia can recognize that they must rely on civilians and There is a power vacuum among the gentlemen, but there may be less blood on the hands.

There is no difference between killing people with knives and guns and killing people with famine, factories and bonds. The former also needs to consume physical strength and guns, which is a loss-making business, while the latter can make money. Not to mention, the Corleone family directly or indirectly hurts people every year. Adding up the number of people killed is not one-tenth of the people killed by Tracy forcibly collecting food and livestock as army rations.

As for the Merchants and Cavaliers Association in Casimir in the north, the direct kills and injuries caused by conniving bandits and looting are five figures every year, and the Corleone family slaughtering at most a hundred people a year is already quite brutal. years.

After reaching a series of detailed operations on the operation of the Syracuse strike, the dinner was over. After sending Xia Lin and Shi Huaiya back to rest, the face of the godfather became gloomy. The youngest daughter who got married called over, "Don't do unnecessary things, and don't try to question, you should act as if nothing happened."

"Okay, father, I will get along well with my brother-in-law, maybe I can go to his casino for a few." The youngest son looked cynical, which made the godfather smile and nod. Hiding his hostility and sharp teeth, it was a dog, not a wolf, who barked.

"Okay, Father." The eldest son agreed reluctantly, and the godfather could only give him a sigh. As for the younger daughter, she was in a state of complete ignorance, and she had no idea what happened.

Meanwhile, Kazdel Frontier.

"It's fixed"

"Thank you so much, girl" the old man forcefully loaded the repaired farm tools into the car, "but this is all we have left." A stack of crumpled Longmen coins also contained a few early Kazdel coins, It doesn't add up to 20 yuan.

"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of little effort anyway." The girl with white hair and dyeing took the money. In this late autumn, she was still dressed very coolly, with only a tube top and hot pants, and a large white coat with a hood.

The person who crossed the border between Dayan and Longmen as a traveling blacksmith and appeared in Kazdale is undoubtedly the guy codenamed "Nian". It was impossible for the village to support himself, and he had to travel between several towns and villages with his own tools and a small stove.

Simply put, because of the needs of a village, he took two assistants and completed it in a few days. If he didn't run back and forth like this, then this little money would not be enough for expenses and food.

"If you don't mind, just let me take a car." Nian put away his simple tools and jumped into the car with a big backpack on his back, "No problem, girl, we are going to Sati's side, and you want to go there too Try your luck?"

"Sati?"

"It's the nearest one. I heard that the people there live a good life. We are planning to move because we can't live in our hometown." Originally living in the outskirts of Longmen, they were refugees who escaped during the Kazdel Civil War. Longmen rejected these When Sarkaz entered the country, he placed them on the outskirts of the city.

But now the unemployment rate in Longmen is getting higher day by day, it is getting harder to find a job, and the cost of living not only has not dropped, but has gradually increased due to the approaching winter, and some Sarkaz who can't survive have to move back.

In particular, I heard from some compatriots that there seems to be a shortage of people in the Sati area, and the living standard is good. Maybe you can go back and try your luck.

"Since there are so many people, there must be a lot of iron work to do. I'll go over there to find a job." The white-haired girl explained with a smile. She has a good attitude when dealing with ordinary people, especially when she needs to disguise her identity.

There are members of the Sailboat Project over there. If you don't disguise your identity, you will definitely be caught. That's what Dayan did in the past, but no one succeeded in the end.

One wants to centralize the authority of several people and forcibly operate the module of Sailboat to start the Ark, while the other completely abandons the Ark project and wholeheartedly tries to use the resources and knowledge of Ark to run his own empire. The contradictions are irreconcilable.

When crossing the border, they encountered a little bit of trouble, more precisely, they couldn’t be called troublesome. They were stopped by a cavalry patrol and told them that there was military activity ahead and asked them to wait for two days. Several camping tents and an Originium heater were provided, but no food was provided.

Nian walked half a circle around the camp but did not hear any news. He only saw that half of the night sky was illuminated by fire, and the sound of ping-pong-pong sounded continuously all night, "Well, the sound of automatic weapons and artillery, they Has the technology recovered to this level?"

Of course, Nian knew that the ancestors did not use magic devices to fight. For them, Originium spells or Originium spells actually represented scientific research and production tools, not weapons for war.

The ancestors used another type of high-power ammunition containing origin stones, the so-called etching ammunition. For the current Terrans, the processing of etching ammunition is very difficult, but for the precision industrial assembly line of the ancestors, Making etch bombs is not difficult.

The firearms imitated by Ratalan cannot be said to have gone the wrong way, but it is closer to the Ming Dynasty's all-firearms troops. It is not that the things are bad, but that the production capacity and economic strength are not enough to support the popularity and Large-scale installation.

"Etching bullets are shaped by high pressure of Originium instead of cutting and engraving. It seems that they finally figured it out." The complex internal structure, external circuit and trigger mechanism of etching bullets will certainly not be cutting and engraving and then layer by layer of Originium. Put it together, but use the prepared source stone dust and other raw materials to shape the cylinder under high temperature and ultra-high pressure and then process it.

The trigger mechanism is also a special source stone component, similar to the one made of sand, it can be used without any special source stone skills, and the guns that lack these two skills are those in Rutland's hands However, they managed to restore part of the etching bombs abruptly by using clumsy cutting and engraving techniques.

The power of the etched ammunition is more than twice that of conventional ammunition, that is, the one with three shots of Maomao's first critical strike. However, this is only a part. The smokeless gunpowder inside the bomb was replaced with black powder.

The real etching bombs can produce the same effect as the old Xia melting weapons, and produce the effect of high temperature explosion or arc explosion after hitting, and the armor-piercing etching bombs can even achieve the effect similar to the micro-jet armor-piercing bullets.

It's just that these require a synthetic jade shell and a more complex internal structure, with the production process of modern Terra... let's just wash and sleep.

The battle lasted all night. To be more precise, the actual frontal battle lasted only 25 minutes. After that, it was time to arrest people everywhere. The next morning, the cruisers informed them that they could pass. On the way into the Sati Oasis, Nian saw the cavalry escorting a string of prisoners towards the concentration camp.

These are not Tracy's combat troops, but those bandits who have not been recruited and the Sarkaz who can't survive in the south just ran out to resume their old jobs, and what awaits them is five to ten years of hard labor. As for those The heinous ones with blood on their hands have already been executed directly, and they will not survive in the concentration camps at all.

As for the hard labor in the concentration camp, there are various forms. The simplest job is to use rail cars to patrol the railway and repair the tracks damaged by natural disasters and wild animals, while the most difficult job is to go to the Snow Mountain Ice Mine to collect ice.

Use explosives and spells to destroy the permanent ice layer whose strength has been reduced by the tower heat circuit, then knock the entire ice surface down and fall into the ice-melting tank, where it will quickly become clean fresh water under the heating of the tower heat pipelines on both sides. It flows down the mountain along the Karez well and is injected into water storage stations, irrigation wells and water systems.

After more than a year of work, a small triangular gap can be seen with the naked eye near the snow line of the snow-capped mountain. There is also water, which will seep out a little bit.

Chapter 34 Our Light...

The next day, at the godfather's manor, the young blond Lolita was brought to the reception room by the maid, holding the corner of the maid's skirt with some fear, poking out half of her head from behind to observe the people in the reception room.

It seemed that after finding that there was no threat, she held the corner of her skirt and performed a very standard ladylike etiquette, "Good morning, my name is Lisa." The big furry tail turned around behind him, which seemed to reveal the nervousness of its owner.

"What a well-behaved child?" Xia Lin observed the other party for a while, and found that there were no obvious traces of crystallization on her body. Is it because the condition is not serious, or was it cleverly concealed?

"The child's mother is a member of the family. I trust a lady. Due to her current special situation, I cannot disclose her name and whereabouts." After all, any group is composed of people. If Xia Lin There are mafia victims or her mother's victims among the people over there, so it is not conducive to the treatment and safety of this child.

"And her father is a clergyman from the Eastern Kingdom, and I heard that he is a godman"

"God people?" Xia Lin frowned. The doctor mentioned these people. They are the original mutants. Strictly speaking, they are the failed products of the experiment. Their traits are too single and cannot be inherited stably, and they are usually accompanied by more serious Genetic disease and conflict.

However, just as the Mayans regarded deformities as having bloodlines different from ordinary people, the Terrans also seemed to regard these people as extraordinary existences with divine bloodlines. In fact, according to the doctor, the Wendigo It is the ideal finished product.

Originium has amazing resistance, strong physique, and is not afraid of most of the conventional pollution. It can gain the memory and learning results of the other party through cannibalism, and most importantly, it can eat people.

During the long journey of the Ark, it is very likely that the population will increase due to poor management, resulting in problems in the food cycle, and Wendigo can control the population through cannibalism, and while controlling the population, avoid knowledge loss .

Not only that, the exoskeleton covered by the body surface can also obtain a certain protective ability after entering a new environment. The powerful origin stone particle control ability can form a protective layer, thereby protecting oneself from environmental harm in the alien environment— — All in all, the cursed race, even the demon race like Sarkaz, was the original success.

However, because it was too successful, one was a product of last resort to deal with the disaster of extinction of civilization, and all the shapes were very anti-human, so it became a cursed race; Yes, and because of the ore sickness, everyone shouted and beat them, and finally they both became villains on Terra.

In contrast, the so-called gods and people are considered to be noble and rare bloodlines because of their small number and rare things. This is also an interesting phenomenon.

"So does Lisa have some other genetic disorder?"

"Why do you say that?"

"It's nothing, just asking." Xia Lin shook her head, "From a doctor's point of view" he does have a doctor's license, um, a veterinarian, so it can't be said that he is lying.

"At least I don't know." The godfather thought for a while and shook his head. He has many things to do, and it is impossible to pay attention to a subordinate's daughter all the time. "Godfather" duty.

"Okay, I will arrange treatment and surgery for her, and it may take a while to recuperate. Do you mind if Miss Lisa goes to Kazdale for medical treatment?" "If you mind, I will not ask for your help." The godfather added : "And her father gave her permission to go to Kazdale for medical treatment"

"Can I meet him?"

"This may be a bit difficult. Her father has left Syracuse, maybe he went after her mother?" The godfather sighed. It is a pity that the man was not caught. To a certain extent, there is the shadow of that man. He wants to return to the Eastern Kingdom. There are many stories about a god-man living in Syracuse without thinking about it.

However, due to her loyalty to the family, Lisa's mother disagreed. She hoped that the man would stay in Syracuse and stay in the family. However, the godfather also understood the other's thoughts from the perspective of a father and a man—a How could it be possible for the noble people of the gods to live under the fence and rely on their wives to support them?

If he thinks differently, he will seize any opportunity at all costs. Even if he wants to stay in Syracuse, he must have his own career and status.

Moreover, although no conclusive evidence was found in the previous attack, all indications showed that the man who hired that stray wolf to take Lisa away was obviously the only man who could do it from all angles.

After all, if it was Lisa's mother, the godfather would not stop her from taking her away, and she would never come and take her daughter away without even asking, that would be a great disrespect to the godfather , Everyone knows what will happen to those who disrespect the godfather.

"Then what does Miss Lisa mean by herself?"

"Huh?" The blond Nine-Tailed Fox Loli looked at Xia Lin in confusion, "Are you going somewhere far away?"

"Yeah, Kazdel, far away."

"Can Lisa bring her doll?"

"Okay, don't worry about luggage or anything, it's just that you're so far away from home, aren't you afraid?"

"Well, a little bit, but Lisa will try her best to get used to it." The blond-haired Lolita said obediently that she would try her best to get used to living in a foreign land. "Then we will take her with us on our return journey, she can stay at home for the last time without being too hasty"

"That's really great." The godfather nodded, and then signaled the maid to take little Lori away, because they were going to talk about some serious things next.

"About the 'celebration' thing, how big do you plan to be?"

"It's best that people in Syracuse can enjoy it to the fullest." Xia Lin flicked the espresso in the cup, but she didn't intend to drink it at all.

"That would be too difficult. Such a huge celebration cannot be accomplished by a single family."
