Magic Industrial Age

New God Calendar, April 10, 311.

Nearing evening, Roy returned from the Filant Magic Academy, exhausted despite having washed up.

Currently, he juggled two professions. In the morning, he had to complete the high-intensity training of a Gale Swordsman, refine his breathing technique, accumulate pure battle qi, and familiarize himself with combat skills.

In the afternoon, he had to follow Gary Mills to learn various knowledge about Gun Mages, meditate, and try out various skills. Naturally, he was extremely busy.

Even when he returned home in the evening, he still had to gather with Lilya, Hoover, Maruna, Mira, Ang, and others.

Naturally, this was to report on the day's work. Some matters required his approval and direction.

These days were indeed very busy!

But also fulfilling enough!

Everything was moving forward according to his established goals, and the sense of accomplishment was immense.

However, today, just as he stepped into his house, a blond young man came to visit.

The two chatted in the study for only a few minutes before the blond young man bid farewell and left. Roy escorted him to the door.

Then, he immediately returned to the second floor and looked out the window from his bedroom, high above.

He saw the blond young man walking towards a carriage to the side. Even from the back, one could feel the elegance and composure of a nobleman.

The blond young man seemed to sense Roy's gaze, turned slightly, and looked up.

Roy did not avoid it. Their eyes met in mid-air, they smiled and nodded at each other, and then the blond young man calmly boarded the carriage and left.

Roy didn't move until he saw the carriage disappear around the corner, then he retracted his gaze, his expression filled with confusion and contemplation.

Beside him, Lilya finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person?"

Roy shook his head and turned back, saying, "He said his name is Miller Petrovich, from the Council Hall!"

Lilya's initially casual expression immediately turned serious. She said, "He's from the Petrovich family?"

"Probably!"

"Then what is he doing here?"

"He wants to pass on a message from that Lord Baron, telling me to be careful and not die!"

Lilya became nervous. "What does he mean by this? Is Lord Dorje going to attack you?"

"Have you ever seen someone who wants to kill someone and kindly reminds them?"

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't think that Lord Dorje should be so bored!"

"Could it be that someone wants to kill you, and he received the news? But why would he remind you?"

After a pause, Lilya added in confusion, "Logically speaking, although you got so much pirate treasure, shouldn't everything that needs to be settled have been settled during this time?"

"So, I'm also at a loss. Moreover, I think that since he warned so ostentatiously, it shouldn't be groundless."

Roy fell into deep thought, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter as he weighed various possibilities in his mind, only to dismiss them one by one.

He believed that he had done everything properly and that no one should be looking for trouble because of that wealth!

But if there were, something must be missing, something he didn't know about had happened.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came, very light but very hurried. Upon reaching the door, they didn't even knock but directly pushed it open.

"Young Master Roy, Young Master Roy, there's news outside that's gone crazy!"

It was Ang who barged in. Roy suddenly turned his head and asked, "What news?"

"Gis, the great pirate Gis, has been captured by the Imperial Royal Navy and is being escorted to Auckland City."

"Gis..."

Roy's eyes flickered, gradually becoming brighter and brighter, as a series of inspirations flashed through his mind.

Gis, pirate group, Grace Festival robbery, Baron Marquez, Lord Dorje, conflict, falling out, great battle, chaos...

At this moment, even with Roy's composure, he couldn't help but curse out loud, "Damn it, how many days of peace have we had? Is it going to be chaotic again?"

Lilya asked vigilantly, "Roy, what do you mean? Why is it going to be chaotic again? Is it going to be more chaotic than the previous Grace Festival?"

Roy looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Compared to this, the Grace Festival is nothing!"

...

That night,

Everyone gathered again in the study. No one spoke, and they were all waiting silently.

In April, the weather wasn't too cold, but the fireplace was still lit. Everyone held their teacups, sipping the hot tea and feeling its bitterness and sweetness. No one spoke.

Until a knock on the door sounded, and Maruna and the housekeeper Hoover entered one after another, only then were the people gathered.

They were a little late, of course not because of procrastination, but to gather more specific information.

Hoover spoke first, "It has been confirmed, it came from the military port.

It is said that the previous failure of the three naval warships caused the Imperial Navy to lose face, and Auckland City was making a lot of noise,

So, the royal family was furious and directly sent an ironclad ship, the Emden, to the Silver Sea, blocking the Youwu Pirate Group."

"After a fierce battle, the Youwu Pirate Group fled in panic. It is said that the magic ship was damaged beyond recognition,

And that Gis even wanted to use sea beasts to attack the ironclad ship, but was captured on the spot by a fourth-order powerhouse!"

"Even the giant crab sea beast was killed and became a trophy of the Imperial Navy."

Maruna Marquez took over, saying, "My news is similar. The only thing that is more definite is that the Emden is coming to Auckland City.

The captain is preparing to execute Gis in Auckland City to form a deterrent against pirates."

"The territory of the empire is forever inviolable!"

The voice echoed in the study, and everyone was thinking until a hand was silently raised.

Mira Greenman looked puzzled, wanting to remain silent, but thinking about Roy's usual style of doing things, she raised her hand.

Everyone's eyes gathered, and Roy asked, "What's wrong?"

Mira said with some confusion, "I think this should be a good thing. The great pirate Gis has been caught. Shouldn't we be very happy?"

Roy smiled, pointed around, and said, "People outside are very happy, celebrating the capture of such a murderous pirate.

Those who have enemies can take revenge, and those who don't can watch the excitement.

Ordinary people can only see this step, but I believe that those wealthy merchants and nobles can glimpse the danger.

"Please enlighten me, Young Master!"

"It's very simple. The Grace Festival robbery was obviously a combination of internal and external forces. Some people in Auckland City were involved.

If Gis dies, it may be nothing, but if Gis is still alive and returns to Auckland City, and implicates the people behind him..."

"Do you think those people will jump over the wall?"

"In my opinion, there are only two paths. One is to turn around and run, leave here.

But that one is afraid of being reluctant, after all, they have been rooted here for generations, and the sunk costs are too high, it is impossible to give up."

The latest novel is at 6 9 books bar!⊥⊥首⊥发!

"Then there is only the second way, to find a way to settle everything before the Emden arrives.

At that time, if no one delves into it, Gis's testimony will not be important, and everyone will only regard him as a liar who is randomly biting people!"

Lilya asked, "Then do you think his chances of success are high?"

Roy slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The conflict between the old nobles and the royalists is almost out in the open. In general, the royalists have the advantage.

It's very simple. Hohenzollern is orthodox, and the magic weapons are powerful enough, and the new legions are strong enough."

"But you can't deny the strength of the old nobles. Who knows what kind of monsters are hidden beneath the surface?"

"Moreover, the old nobles are not just this baron, but a huge alliance!"

But after a pause, he added, "However, I think the royalists have a better chance of winning, because the one in the Council Hall even intends to send someone to remind me, obviously anticipating it!"

Maruna asked at this time, "Young Master Roy, I'm still a little confused. Even if they want to turn against each other, are we necessarily in danger?"

"As the saying goes, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer!"

Roy took a deep breath: "What's more, we got such a large sum of wealth, which is too eye-catching.

Before, I used a complex network of relationships to suppress the greed of some people.

But this time, this time, without order, who cares about any network of relationships? I'm afraid there are countless people coming for us!"

Looking up again, he looked around and said, "I don't like Dorje's way of doing things. He may belong to the royalist faction, but he is too selfish."

"This turmoil, he can completely avoid, but for greater results, he watches the chaos happen."

"He may have considered a lot, but the only thing he didn't consider is how many people will die this time."

"He really doesn't care!"

Olivia finally asked, "What are you going to do?"

Roy exhaled all the waste gas in his heart: "What else can I do? I can only meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth."

...

At the same time,

Outside the city, in the Marquez family castle, in the study.

The originally proud Baron Marquez was already furious, he roared in a hoarse voice.

"Mobilize! Mobilize all the strength of the Hermit Society in the north for me!"

"Isn't Dorje forcing me? I'll give him a big one!"

"You say this is a trap?

Nonsense, of course I know this is a trap, but as long as the strength is strong enough, flatten this trap!"

"Dorje, Dorje, you want to see me jump over the wall, I'll let you see what it means to die together!"
