He spoke with confidence.
Then, I felt a little itchy.
I have just learned a new skill. Should I find someone to try it out with?
Just when he was thinking with ill intentions whether he should find another beast master to attack, a private message from Mebius suddenly came into the chat group.
"Come to the Sadien district."
"Alicia and I are in trouble."
Chapter 91: What is the Money-Spreading Boy?
Russell was a little dazed.
Is Alicia in trouble?
This was difficult for Russell to understand.
There were two memories that left the paradise on earth with him.
Among them, Mebius did face tragedy after leaving the paradise of the afterlife.
——There is no body, and there is no Honkai energy.
Because of his naughty hands, he is under special attention of the police every day.
I almost made my home in the detention center.
But Alicia is different.
She has been living in Russell's body.
Even when going out, he relies on the power of the tiger.
And when the owner is not specifically targeting it, the tiger will not let its "second personality" run away without taking a penny.
When Tiger separated Yin and Yang, he also left her a lot of Honkai energy.
That energy might not be enough for her to perform skills like "The Beginning of You and Me" or "The Sea of Stars of Past Lives", but it is enough for her to show a little bit of her strength as the second seat of the Fire Moth.
Without the strength of the Lord of the Royal Court, attacking her would be a bit like breaking your butt.
So, what exactly happened that made Alicia ask for help from me through Mobius?
Russell walked out of the shadows and stepped onto the land of the Sadien area.
The old light industrial area of Sadion was once the pride of Londinium.
The rising steam and the gears running day and night are like tireless beasts, continuously outputting various industrial products to supply the entire Victoria and even exported to foreign countries.
However, in the past decade or so, with the advancement of technology and changes in industrial structure, people no longer like to boil water.
——Originium is much more fun than boiling water.
Due to the rise of the Originium industry, the status of the old industrial area of Sadien has continued to decline.
Then it naturally declined.
Russell was running according to the positioning given by Mobius.
The two of them were located in an abandoned factory in the old industrial area of Sadien.
The large-scale assembly lines of traditional industries were once the social cornerstone that Victorians were proud of.
But in contrast to the development of Originium technology, its heaviness and bulkiness gradually became apparent. The steam that covered the sky became like a festering scar on the empire, becoming extremely glaring and losing its competitiveness.
It is said that the parliament has proposed a motion to expel this area from the capital, but it was not passed due to the past glory of this area.
Ok.
Physical expulsion.
Mobile cities have a very prominent feature: their land is not a non-renewable resource like traditional land.
——The manpower and material costs of dismantling and recovering the land resources are very high; and large-scale rectification on the original basis will also face the messy problems of how to deal with the residents of the land and so on - this is obviously not a cost worth spending for the nobles; it would be easier to just build a new plot of land.
With the approval of the parliamentary masters, this land that has been drained of its value is gradually meeting its own demise.
The area has suffered from severe labor loss. The machines that once ran day and night have gradually stopped running, the factories have become vacant, and the discarded parts have rusted and damaged after being ignored for a long time.
but--
To Alicia, that area was quite tempting.
It was she who helped absorb Russell's horse charm.
She knew very well that all she had to do was let the noble horse run across that barren land.
Then, the former industrial area will return from history.
She only needs to use the price of recycled scrap iron and wasteland to take over this industrial zone that started out by boiling water, and then she can prepare to build some industries that do not rely on source stone.
Russell attempts to reunite with Alicia.
However, before he found Alicia and Mebius, a group of horse racers blocked his way.
"Sir, the area ahead is our property. Private property is sacred and inviolable. Please stop."
The leading horse racer spoke up.
The speech was quite polite.
But the person behind him was drawing the bow.
It can be seen that as long as Russell continues to move forward, they will not hesitate to swing their bourgeois humanitarian fist and teach Russell a lesson.
What the hell?
Russell frowned.
When did this piece of broken place become owned by someone?
[Temporary Worker of the Wuzhu Alliance]
[Well, it’s not the kind that Casimir used to refuse, but a real temporary worker.]
The prompter gives a hint.
[Not only Alicia but also the merchants of Casimir have their eyes on this piece of land]
[The merchants in Casimir also thought that the land was good - very suitable for building Victoria Thirteen Hongs]
Casimir.
The country of horse racing girls.
It was originally ruled by the Protoss tribe Tianma, but was crushed by the Nightmare Khan who passed by.
Afterwards, the country was once again dominated by the traditional chivalrous system and became a country of knights.
But with the development of the times, knight competitions gradually became commercialized.
After excessive commercialization, it will naturally change.
Casimir degenerated directly from a country of knights to a country of speculators.
The business alliance has infiltrated all walks of life in Casimir, and even Columbia would say, "I think you're a bit extreme."
What are these horse racers doing in Victoria?
Russell frowned.
[Thanks to you, Mr. Dat had to give up his plan to declare war on many parties - he chose to specifically beat Casimir]
[To this end, he chose to gradually withdraw the Sarkaz troops from Victoria and head to the border between Leithania and Victoria]
[Investors in Casimir smell a business opportunity - Kazdel seems to be preparing to go to war with Leitania. In addition, the gradual withdrawal of Tresis has made the eight dukes restless, and Victoria may have a civil war at any time.]
Oh.
Russell roughly understood what the jockeys were planning to do.
Want to make money from the war.
Then, I felt a subtle feeling.
Casimir was thinking about the orders from the eight dukes and Tracys after they went to war.
Theresis was thinking about Casimir's capital.
By the way, isn't the Casimir Federation of Commerce worried about the subsequent Wu-Yan-Victoria melee?
The street urchins were all confused and ready to come and investigate.
How could they be so bold as to come here to do business?
[The prefix of a trade association does not have to be Casimir.]
The prompter pointed out that there was something wrong with Russell's cognition.
[After getting enough money, no matter how big the flood is]
Oh.
I almost forgot about this.
The moral bottom line of myself and my colleagues is quite flexible.
and so--
"Are you under siege?"
Russell asked Mebius.
This question is very tasteless.
Although Alysia has been severely nerfed in the current version, she is still not something that a third-rate organization like the Helmetless Alliance, which can be wiped out by seven Silver Spear Pegasus, can challenge.
"The answer is that there is a financial problem."
Mobius's answer made Russell's expression become subtle.
Although it is just a memory residing in Russell's body.
But, Alicia has her own little treasury.
——She knows the location of a considerable portion of the remains of the civilization before the Collapse of the World.
Although the remains of the previous civilization have basically been destroyed by the World Serpent and Destiny, even if only one is found, it can be easily converted into a large amount of supplies.
"We have already negotiated with the locals and agreed to pay the money next month."
"As a result, a group of guys who looked like horses showed up on the way. I can only ask you to pay for them."
There is also a sense of helplessness between the lines of Mebius's words.
Oh.
In other words, before we had time to sign the contract, people from the Chamber of Commerce also arrived, right?
That makes sense why Alicia is in trouble.
If the Casimir people tried to attack her, the pink fat woman could easily use the flawless crystal to let them know the value of the Daughter of God.
However, they took the most serious bidding approach.
Russell flipped through his passbook. The numbers in it were quite pitiful, from the perspective of a great noble.
But, fortunately, Zaro just knocked down Duck Duke.
Squeeze it hard.
We should be able to squeeze a lot of money out of this Colombian tycoon.
and so--
The problem is not big.
