Can you become stronger without paying money?

"Hehe, I really remembered that if you need cooperation, you should go to the person in charge of the kingdom. Well, it's Mr. Baruba, right?"

When the name was mentioned, Xia's expression changed a little. She lowered her head and murmured, "By the way, that guy is the person in charge of the kingdom. I'm so busy that I forgot about it..." Immediately, Xia Showing a bit of apology, "It's because I didn't think carefully. There have been some changes in Campanula's personnel recently. Baruba will not be in charge of the kingdom's business soon. If you don't mind, I can negotiate instead~ Just right, I I'm also talking about this with Mr. Peruvi~"

"Oh?" Sapphire was naturally interested, "Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes..." There is nothing to hide, Peruway nodded and responded, "The bellflower member in charge of cooperation with the Bekasas family has also been transferred recently, and this time I came to Miss Xia to discuss something Business transfer and follow-up cooperation plans.”

It is not a trivial matter to have a major internal change in Bellflower, not to mention that it is responsible for such a large project as the cooperation of the Bekasas family. , such a large change in performance is likely to be due to a problem with the distribution of benefits within Campanula.

After thinking about the problems, Safili naturally understood. After discussing this point, Shia didn't hide anything. Anyway, these are not things that need to be concealed, and they will be announced sooner or later.

"...Campanellia's new president election?" Upon hearing the news, Sapphire understood everything. No wonder the major business needs to change. This is obviously a challenge from someone who is capable of becoming the president candidate. If you want to become the chairman of the project, it depends on how many key projects you have in your hand. The more these key projects, the greater the chance of winning the election for the chairman. Among these candidates, the previously mentioned Baluba is a strong candidate.

"...Hey, since I've said it, I won't hide it." Xia showed a distressed expression, "Baluba was originally one of the strong candidates, but when I checked the accounts recently, I found that Baluba There are unnatural fund flows in the several projects I have handled, although the amount of funds is not a problem in the accounts, but Baruba can't tell where these unnatural fund allocations are being used..."

Having said that, Sapphire naturally became vigilant immediately. After all, Baruba was in charge of the business of the Kingdom of Borea, so don't be fooled by this profiteer.

After all, although Safirie only met Baluba a few times, she still clearly remembers the old man, if it is described in the original words of Safirie's father... Osar.

"That's a pure businessman with the keenest sense of business and an astonishingly greedy desire for money. He was born to play with money..."

Such a person can do things that many boundary-level masters can't do when they have a huge source of funds like Campanula.

"Ah, please don't worry..." Seeing that Sapphire's expression changed, Xia quickly explained, "Baluba's account is just some unreasonable funds allocation, he seems to have embezzled some of the client's funds for other purposes, But soon he returned the embezzled funds, and then filled in the unnaturalness through the accounting operation. Of course, he was careful not to hide it from everyone's eyes..."

Naturally, among the bellflowers, there is no shortage of experts in checking accounts, but there is nothing on weekdays. Now that Baluba is running for the chairmanship, his every move is under the watchful eyes of many people. If someone deliberately finds his loopholes, it is naturally Zhang As a result, Baluba's affairs were exposed.

Although the embezzled funds were returned in the end, it was a big problem for Baruba not to be able to tell where those funds were used by him. This is the most taboo thing for chambers of commerce that deal with money, not to mention the embezzled funds of customers. Now Baluba doesn't want to talk about running for the president, even the several projects under his name will be taken back and handed over to other people.

Baluba is in charge of all big projects. In this way, several big projects will have to change hands. Now that it is time for Bellflower to run for president, the probability of success will be higher after taking charge of one more big project. Naturally, It was a group of businessmen who robbed them all at once, and they almost tore their faces...

"Hehe, I'm sorry for making you read a joke. In short, please don't lower your impression of Bellflower because of these. We attach great importance to everything about our customers. Whether it is the customer's funds or the information that the customer needs us to keep confidential, we are The mainland is top-notch, please never give up the bellflowers because of one or two scum..."

When something goes wrong, it is natural to do crisis public relations. These profiteers are also professionals. No matter what they say, Safili already has some ideas in her heart, but she is not in charge of this matter, so it is natural Said, "Understood, I will go and explain the situation to my father, and if there is a chance, I will hand over the responsibility to Miss Xia..."

Hearing these words, the smile on Xia's face became even brighter. Of course, she could hear that what Sapphire said was a scene, but since the scene did not kill the words, there is room for redemption. The business of the King of Borea's royal family Cooperation is not a small project, so there is no need to say much about the meaning if it can be negotiated.

Afterwards, Sapphire and the others chose two tables and sat down together. After ordering something, they were no longer in the mood to enjoy it. After a quick taste, they bid farewell to Brother Peruwei, who continued to talk to Xia Talking about things, his father is responsible for meeting Emperor Isaac with Grand Duke Sophia, and there is also a National Day ceremony to participate in, so this matter was entrusted to him by his father, and he naturally has to deal with it with all his strength.

After leaving the dessert house, Riel held a bag of takeaway donuts in his hand, took out one and handed it to Sapphire, "I seem to have heard some interesting information, what do you think?"

Sapphire took a bite of the donut covered in chocolate sauce, with a happy expression on her face, "Well, it's delicious~ Ah, what do you say... I don't think it's funny, Account Bluebell If the amount of transfer of funds on the Internet is large enough to leave traces on the accounts that cannot be easily smoothed out through normal capital transactions, then the number is definitely not small!"

Where such a large sum of money is used, it makes people feel concerned when they think about it. Although the money will be repaid later, such things as capital can generate huge profits in a circle. If Baruba just It’s fine to use this money for speculation, but what if it’s used for something bad?

It's a pity that there are too many possible options, and Safiley couldn't make too jumpy associations for a while. Riel also took out a donut of the same variety as Safiley ate just now, and took a bite. Pull your face down.

"...Uh, so sweet!" Donuts are already full of sugar, and this is the variety coated with chocolate sauce. This taste is really too much for Riel who doesn't have a cold for sweets, but The donuts took one bite and couldn't be thrown away.

When Riel was distressed, Nana tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"...What's wrong?" As soon as Riel asked, Nana pointed to the donut in Riel's hand.

"If the master doesn't want it, give it to Nana!"

"...Eh, but I already took a bite of this one. If you want it, is there any here?"

"No, I want this!" After confirming that Riel really didn't want to continue eating that donut, Nana snatched it from Riel's hand without saying a word, and then bit it with a happy face. Riel didn't know what to do. What to say, he could only hand over the bag in his hand under the meaningful eyes of several other girls around him.

"Forget it, sweets are not for me... I'll give them all to you..."

Fei snatched the bag from Riel's hand with a cheer, the big cat's hand was obviously two points slower, and immediately the little two and the ghost twins got into a mess. Riel watched the litter, and at the same time, he and Sapphire They showed a "kind" smile together.

Ah... so cute kids~

...Wait, why do you have the déjà vu feeling of watching a litter of children with their mother?Ahem, it must be an illusion, yes, it must be an illusion!

"Ah, that's right... don't think about those things..." Riel reached out and stopped a paid taxi, "Let's go to the next stop, the Imperial Academy of Magic, there are also things worth seeing there, I promise , you won’t regret watching it~”

Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen

OK, here is today's third update, ahem, I'm still a little confused, the reward from the Roman boss is too harsh.

In short, this month's additional progress (3/39)...

...Anyway, Penguin I have reduced one more update. Although the speed is slow, it is more debt-free than some 2K orders next door (yes, Batgirl I am talking about you!), Penguin I Super moral (chest out)!

Okay, let’s stop making trouble, the next is the main text, the above~

————————————————————————————————————

"Here we are... here is the Royal Academy of Magic..."

The people who jumped out of the rental carriage cast their gazes under Riel's signal. According to Riel, the real "Royal Institute of Magic and Daoism" is hidden in a place that normal people can't reach, and what is placed outside for people to see is only A place similar to an "exhibition hall" to display some "latest" research results.

Of course, the latest only refers to the "latest" research results that the empire feels can be disclosed to the public, the latest batch of research results in the true sense... Not to mention ordinary people, high-ranking officials of the empire may not have access to them.

The exhibition hall itself has a fee to enter. From the outside, it looks like a large museum. It doesn't mean "research institute" at all. Above this building, there are three transparent crystals of magic power, the red "power" and the blue "power". Wisdom", and finally the colorless transparent crystal representing "balance".

The size of the three crystals is astonishing. If it weren't for the faint and regular fluctuations of magic power on them, it would even give people an illusion that this nima would be three pieces of colored glass. After all, three pieces of magic power of this size Crystals, whether man-made or natural, are treasures with sky-rocketing prices, and they are so majesticly placed within the reach of almost everyone.

...Well, it's not like no one had thought about these three treasures before, so the result... the grass on that guy's grave should already be taller than a person.

Riel and the others, of course, just took a look and stopped paying attention. They bought a ticket at the door to enter the venue. After entering the door, they passed a long corridor. The two sides of the corridor are decorated with pictures captured by magic images, which probably record the research of magic. A series of major events from the establishment of the hospital to the present, and the accompanying text explanations basically let the people who enter the door know what an amazing place they have come to.

After all, this thing is awesome... what it blows out is also awesome!

After passing through the corridor, what you see suddenly becomes clear, and the most shocking thing you can see at first sight is a group of sculptures...

The main body of this group of sculptures is divided into two parts. The outer part is dozens of large and small planet-shaped sculptures. Each planet-shaped sculpture is a half-solid and half-empty structure. I can see that each planet sculpture here is actually a small exhibition hall, which displays a collection and corresponding introduction.

Connecting these exhibition halls is a complete solidified transmission system. You only need to walk into the portal in front of you, select the corresponding number, and you will be able to reach the corresponding exhibition hall. When entering the building, you can use the ticket stub to exchange for a A booklet clearly records the exhibition hall corresponding to each number.

Apart from this part, there is another part of the sculpture, which is another sculpture surrounded by countless star sculptures, which is a figure sculpture...

...The image of the sculpture is an old man wearing an old-fashioned mage robe, who looks very old.

The old man took notes in one hand and a quill pen in the other, staring intently at the sculptures of stars around him, just staring at this sculpture, as if a scene appeared in front of his eyes.

An old man who was working at his desk stopped the quill in his hand, and was about to take a rest. He was suddenly attracted by a certain scenery outside the window, so the old man cast a focused gaze on the starry sky that he had seen countless times , For the first time, he began to think about whether there is some kind of truth hidden in the scenery that he can see every day.

Finally, when the rotation of the stars reached a certain point, the old man's eyes burst into infinite brilliance, he lowered his head frantically, and left lines on the paper with the quill in his hand that no one could understand. messy lines...

With the old man's focused movements, the lines in his hand gradually became a vast pattern. When he put down the quill in his hand, the picture on the paper was actually the same as the magnificent galaxy above the nine heavens outside the window. Generally the same.

This is... the beginning of everything, the beginning of human legend!

"The 'Ancient One' Macka Intmelu..." Even Fei, who has never seen enough, said the name without hesitation this time, because this name has such weight, as long as it is life It is impossible for the human beings on this continent not to know his name. No matter who they are, they all know this name and the legend he represents.

"How... this statue is a great skill, right? Just looking at it, you can't help but feel inexplicable yearning." Riel smiled at the fascinated people around him, "As a 'magic' civilization It is only natural for the founder of the Academy of Demonic Dao to poke him with a golden body~"

"Well, such a great legend, no matter how big the commemoration is, it's not surprising. Huh, I always think it's amazing. I just glanced at it and had the illusion of 'consciousness must be attracted'."

Sapphire pressed her chest and sighed, but Riel shook her head, "No, no, this shouldn't be an illusion. Don't you realize that the situation here is a bit special?"

After Riel reminded them, everyone discovered the problem. Indeed, the surrounding space, including the two-body sculpture, occupies the space...

...It is really too big, much larger than the actual area seen from the outside before.

"...Well, so this is actually an expanded space, and the magic circle is arranged in a very clever way."

"Wait, such a complicated magic circle also involves the expansion of space, how much magic power will be consumed for daily maintenance?"

Facing this question, Riel smiled and raised his hand and pointed to his feet, "No, no extra magic power is needed, have you forgotten? There is something under our feet."

"...Uh, alright." Fei immediately remembered that in the previous introduction, there is a forcibly distorted man-made leyline hub in the underground of the capital, which continuously draws magic power from the four leylines to supply the entire king. With the existence of this large battery, there is no need to worry about the consumption of magic power.

There is a whole set of grand space magic circle buried in this research institute, which has completed including space expansion and a complete transmission system. The ingenuity of the handwriting can be called ingenious. The exhibition hall can arrange such exquisite mechanisms, and the strength of the magic technology mastered by the empire can be seen from this...

Sapphire sighed more heavily, of course, as a princess, she hoped that her kingdom would be superior to others, but when compared with the empire, she found out what it means to compare people to people and goods to throw away. It's really bigger and bigger, and the more you compare, the more people feel that the position of the boss of the empire is really unshakable.

"...Well, no, it doesn't matter, at least I still have mastered spirit arts, even if it's just a dream, I must let my mastered spirit arts research surpass the empire!"

There are people in this world who want to challenge the more they encounter difficulties. Sapphire obviously has such a temper. After discovering the greatness of the empire, she hopes to surpass the empire in a certain field, which happens to be one of the fields she can choose. Among them, there is a research that belongs to the fault at this stage, the research on elf magic... If it can really do something famous, it must be very amazing!

"Let's go, don't stand in a daze at the door, let's go into the exhibition hall and have a look, there should be a lot of good things to open your eyes~"

While Riel said so, he led everyone into the teleportation array, flipped through the brochure with his fingers, found an interesting number and chose to go.

So, as soon as the light flashed, everyone found themselves inside a planet sculpture. It was a coincidence that there was no one else visiting here, only Ruier and his group.

And what's on display here, is a... er, an indescribable mass...

... The main body of that thing is made of metal, but the surface looks uneven and irregular. There are dull and dull magic spar inlaid in the broken section under the metal shell, and there are countless complex and interlaced formation lines inside.

"What... is this?" Fei was a little confused, she couldn't recognize what it was from the outside, but Sapphire knew it.

"Oh, this is something that has changed the times to some extent. This is... the engine of the airship..."

"Eh?" Obviously, it is impossible for Fei to have seen what the airship engine looks like, or rather, most people don't know it. After all, only the empire can produce finished products of this thing. Other forces don't talk about production, just look at it. I don't know what the structure of this thing is, and some even can't even take it apart intact.

"Well, when the empire studied the relevant documents of Yggdrasil, the floating island of the world tree, and imitated the things they fiddled with, you think that even a thing as big as an entire island can send the power of the sky, so it is natural. It can send thousands of tens of thousands of tons of monsters into the sky, of course, the first thing that was sent into the sky was not the passenger airship, but the air deterrent that the empire is proud of... the magical battleship..."

And the thing placed here is part of the engine of the first magical warship that went to the sky...

... After all, that thing has been reimbursed for many years, and it cannot be preserved in its entirety, only such a part of it is still intact.

Even so, this thing can be regarded as a cultural relic, but naturally, although it is a valuable cultural relic, the power of this thing is nothing more than a historical background. Now that the research has progressed and the relevant engine has been updated for several generations, this thing is already an antique. It is an outdated "old thing", so its popularity is low, and few people come to visit.

"Ah, I really don't know how to appreciate it. Compared with those so-called 'latest' research products, this kind of thing with historical traces is more worthy of appreciation..."

While staring at the dilapidated engine in a daze, Sapphire said something to herself, but as soon as the words fell, a laughing female voice interjected.

"Oh, I agree with you on this point. I didn't expect to meet such a nostalgic young man now. I'm very pleased~"

At some point, there was an extra person in the exhibition hall. Sapphire subconsciously cast her gaze at the place where the sound came from, but she was stunned when she saw it.

"Hey, you... no, you are..."

Chapter 120 The Royal Capital's Experience ([-])

Okay, here is the first update of today, this damn broken computer, it's broken again in the morning...

…Finally, it was dismantled and cleaned to remove the dust. I don’t know if it’s because of this, but it’s fine now anyway.

It is scheduled to change the computer when the manuscript fee is up this month. Let’s make do with it now. In short, the second update is currently guaranteed to complete the first update, and the completion progress of the additional update this month (3/39)...

Then the next is the text, the above~

————————————————————————————————————

"you are……"

Sapphire was so surprised, it can be seen that she should know the person who spoke, and not only did she know him, but the other party's status might not be low.

However, when everyone's eyes gathered, what they saw made people collectively stunned.

The reason why there is a huge psychological contrast is because everyone's eyes are moving in such a way, first pan...not seeing it, then down...seeing a protruding witch hat...and then down...only to see it The smiling face of the other party...

...That is a very "delicate" girl... How delicate is it? The line of sight on the top is enough to explain the problem. It is just a super-pocket girl whose head is estimated to be less than one meter. The reason why it is called a girl is not The young girl is because the other person's face is not half childish, she is a very youthful and pretty face. In terms of figure, although it is not as protruding as that big cat of Ailu, the girl's curves are still faintly discernible to the naked eye, at least absolutely Did not reach the level of "cliff".

The girl was wearing a mage robe that was too loose, and a witch hat with a wide brim and a pointed top on her head. Since the witch's cap was too large, she could only hold the brim of the hat with one hand to avoid being blocked from seeing.

In terms of feeling, it is as inappropriate as a child stealing an adult's clothes, but normal people have common sense, and other clothes can be worn indiscriminately. Not everyone can wear mage robes. Corresponding qualifications, walking around in the streets wearing mage robes has a certain probability of being dragged away by swindlers and invited to drink tea. The girl with the height of a young girl looks so funny that some details will be overlooked.

The mage robe is decorated with golden piping to represent the level of the mage robe, and there is a row of honor medals on the chest to indicate the merits and identity of the owner. People who don’t understand may not know the goods, but those who know them can find that there are other medals in this row of medals. The medals of "Lifetime Honorary Mentor of the Imperial Institute of Magic and Magic" and "Special Lecturer of the Imperial Royal Academy of Magic and Magic". Under normal circumstances, one of these two things is already so powerful that it will fly, let alone two appearing together, and there is a row next to them. Medal of gold.

In the empire, a person who can walk around with such a row of medals will definitely not be the second person...

...the dean of the Imperial Academy of Magic... One of the three major super-limits in the empire, theoretically, it should be after the appearance of "Magic Martial Arts", one of the few people in history who relied on pure magic practice to set foot on the super-limit series A genius, and currently the "strongest" magician of his generation!

"...Master Serena Intmelu! I didn't expect to meet you here, what a pleasure."

However, the girl named Serena... Well, at least the woman who looked like a girl held the brim of her hat with one hand and waved it freely with the other.

"Ah, don't be so polite, after all, it's not just a chance meeting, I'm sure you guys will show up here, so I came here to have a look~"

At the same time as she opened her mouth with a smile, a faint magic crest flashed in Serena's right eye, Riel immediately nodded and said, "So that's it...'Great prophecy', under normal circumstances, it needs A miraculous magic that a complete group of mages can only get a complete conclusion based on the changes in the astrology..."

That's right, under normal circumstances, but in the hands of a super-limit-level magician, this miracle-level magic can already be easily obtained, and the accuracy will never lose to the team of mages, but the magic of the big prophecy will be used too much. Causal backlash is caused, if Serena in front of her has the "blood of the ancients", which can offset the less strong karmic backlash to a certain extent, normal people really dare not use the big move of the big prophecy to find someone.

Serena Intmelu, from the surname, it can be seen which noble family she comes from. Even now, no one in the entire ancient family has been able to reach the original Macka Intmelu. This level, no, not to mention reaching shoulder to shoulder with it... Even a glance from a distance is far behind... The only person in history who has been awarded the title of "Ancient One" with a human body is so strong that it even makes people Unimaginable hookup.

"Hey, I suddenly figured out that it's a big prophecy, hehe, the recent knowledge of young people is really gratifying~"

It is a very strange experience to be called "young man" by a young girl with a young girl's face, although according to common sense, the master probably is not young, and I don't know She has practiced magic so well that she has a good appearance, or is she purely relying on some taboo technology to keep her appearance.

The big cat, Ai Lu, blinked curiously, "Hey, in this case, are you actually very old?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the air in the entire exhibition hall froze, and even the room temperature dropped by two degrees. Riel hurried forward to cover the big cat's mouth and dragged it away, then twitched the corners of his eyes and put on a smiling face. "What, my big cat is not very sensible. Your lord has a lot. Don't take what you said just now to your heart. Damn it, Ai Lu apologizes to me!"

Riel pressed the big cat's head to apologize, but Serena in front of her laughed out loud.

"Pfft, hahaha... What an interesting young man, well, don't mind, I won't be angry because of these words, ah, I almost forgot the business, Your Royal Highness Princess Sakilia~ You have practiced elf skills... yes Bar?"
