The high-speed submachine gun rapidly spat out bullets.

Although this type of gun doesn't have the accuracy of a semi-automatic rifle, its rate of fire is fast, making it more useful in this confined space.

Moreover, as long as the positioning is right, there will be almost no friendly fire.

After a round of submachine gun fire, the ordinary bandits and bodyguards were almost all dead, and many Beyonders were also injured.

The smell of blood filled the room, making people sick.

Blood flowed out from the cracks in the door. The state government officials and staff who came to check on the situation in the corridor immediately recalled the scene from yesterday afternoon, and in addition to being frightened, quickly hid back in their rooms.

Baron Darnell and others' subordinates who were left outside took out their weapons and rushed to support, but were met with a head-on sweep from the "Extraordinary Puppets", and the state government suddenly became a battlefield.

At this time, most of the Beyonders in the conference room were of the "Low Sequence". The State Guard members had the advantage in numbers, and with the help of submachine guns, they were enough to hold them off temporarily.

Gerald led the State Guard's Beyonders to focus on dealing with the few Sequence 7s.

Odyss didn't intend to take action, but just sat quietly in his chair and watched everything in front of him.

When he was in Aysalla, he planned to use thunderous means to solve the local forces in Vowtate City.

As for the state councilor seats, it was just a guise he gave, in order to gather this group of people together.

Baron Demps, while dodging the State Guard members' shooting, shouted: "Governor Gahr, I am a Baron of Lemberg, the master of this country!

Are you going to kill me too?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Odyss immediately said sternly: "As the governor, how could I harm the nobles of Lemberg?

"You were killed by that group of bandits! The two barons were ambushed by the bandits, and as a result, they were shot to death by the bandits, it sounds so pleasing to the ear!"

Looking at Baron Demps' expression turning to anger, Odyss continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!

Within a month, there will be no more bandit armies in the entire Vowtate State!"

At this time, Baron Demps was stabbed by a State Guard's Beyonder, and fell to the ground full of resentment, covered in blood.

This fierce battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and all the nobles and bandits in the room were killed.

The previous battle left Gerald and others covered in blood, to the point where they could no longer see the original color of their clothes.

Many people in the State Guard also died, and the remaining people gasped for breath, feeling somewhat at a loss for a while.

The fierce battle just now had a considerable impact on their emotions, and for a while they couldn't react.

Odyss said sternly: "The State Guard will be reorganized into the Security Force, and will be under the command of the state government again.

"Just now you all saw that the bandits cruelly killed the two barons, but the two barons were willing to donate all their property before they died, and asked the state government to suppress the bandits and avenge them.

"The first task of the Security Force is to bring all the property of the two barons to the state government, and leave the city this afternoon to suppress the bandits."

Gerald breathed a sigh of relief. This was a lucrative job. The governor was willing to give it to the newly integrated Security Force, which meant that the governor was willing to accept the members of the Security Force.

In Odyss's view, the bandit army should be killed, because they don't treat ordinary people as human beings. The nobles should also be killed, because they don't treat ordinary people as human beings.

It was they who caused Vowtate State to be in chaos, and many places even lost basic order.

The members of the State Guard had also basically killed ordinary people, and they should also be killed.

So Odyss gave them this dirty work, so that they could atone for their sins.

Since they sincerely surrendered, then they could be forgiven.

Of course, if they didn't change their previous bad habits, Odyss wouldn't be soft-hearted.

Odyss paused for a moment and then said: "Leave the ancient fiefdoms of the two barons to those two families, and then just find two children to inherit the titles."

Gerald immediately said: "I understand!"

He knew very well that this was related to the aftermath of the entire incident, and it must be handled well!

Then Odyss said to Ronzel outside the door: "Send a message to the Lemberg government, saying that the situation in Vowtate State is very complicated, and please allocate a sum of money to support it."

He didn't really want money, but was reminding Duke Bowen that they had promised Odyss to raise military expenses themselves at that time. Now, although Odyss's method of raising military expenses was a bit radical, he had left the nobles with the final face.

If the Lemberg government had any objections, please allocate funds.

……

When the news that the two barons died under the bandit army's guns quickly spread in Vowtate City, those who were attached to Vowtate State's nobles or bandit army defected one after another, and came to the state government to express their support for the new governor.

Odyss didn't see them at all, and didn't even let Ronzel receive them, but just sent the clerk Roxanne to briefly understand the situation.

On this day, Vowtate City was very chaotic, many people were in constant fear, and many people were still running around, hoping to meet the new governor.

Of course, for most ordinary people, life was still difficult, and the struggles of the officials didn't seem to have much to do with them.

Although it looked chaotic, Odyss had now become the actual controller of the entire city.

In front of the window of the Governor's Residence, Odyss and Bernadette looked at the crowd at the gate of the courtyard. After a few seconds of silence, Bernadette asked: "What are you going to do with this group of people?"

"There's no need to deal with them." Odyss said: "Vowtate City still needs merchants, and some people need to fill the power vacuum at the bottom.

"I won't deal with them casually until I have established a complete government system."

However, later, when the time is right, some of the most heinous people will definitely be punished.

After hearing Odyss's answer, Bernadette asked again: "Your violent way of seizing the property of the local nobles should trigger many chain reactions."

For example, more people will join in such looting, they may not dare to rob nobles, but they dare to rob ordinary people.

Odyss smiled and said: "Basic law and order can be guaranteed, the people here are already used to such chaos.

He paused for a moment and then said: "In other places, this style of behavior is indeed handing over the handle to others, but this is Vowtate State.

"The Lemberg government has already planned to abandon Vowtate State!

"As long as I can take this state back, they will default on me doing a lot of things.

"Of course, they will carefully record what I have done, and after Vowtate State has completely restored order, they will treat those things as my crimes and transfer me away."

Bernadette was slightly stunned: "You already guessed these things, and you still do this?"

Odyss smiled: "By the time they want to transfer me away, it will be too late!

"Do you believe that in half a year, no matter where I go, I will be the governor of Vowtate State."

Bernadette was stunned again before saying: "I believe it."

Then she felt a little strange. She hadn't heard that Odyss had any experience in politics before. Why was he so experienced in dealing with these issues?

In fact, this was still Odyss's memories in the Common Era helping him. For example, for how to suppress bandits, he could just flip through history books in the "Knowledge Wilderness".

The trick of conferring official positions on bandit leaders has been tried and tested in history.

It's not that the bandit leaders are brainless, but that this industry is really precarious. Having an official position is enough to save their lives.

Or rather, no one would give up a stable life and choose to be a bandit leader in the mountains.

……

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Gerald received a new order. He was personally leading the team, dispatching 50 Security Force members to assist Ronzel in leaving the city to suppress the bandits.

The reward for this mission was 20 submachine guns.

Previously, when Odyss ordered Gerald to kill the nobles and bandits, he provided 20 submachine guns.

The powerful firepower of the submachine guns had already been unanimously recognized by the Security Force members, and they had also made a small fortune when they confiscated the nobles' property, so they had no resistance to the governor's arrangement.

Most of the weapons designed by Odyss were Extraordinary weapons, only semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns were normal weapons.

This was because these two types of guns had simple structures, and it was cheaper to use normal designs than Extraordinary designs.

Moreover, the manufacturing process was not very difficult, and they belonged to Odyss's ideal "foreign trade products".

Now that Odyss had begun to produce "Spirit Storage Crystals" in small batches, the problem of "Extraordinary Machine Guns" having rest time had been solved, so Odyss would still follow the idea of Extraordinary design for those weapons with fierce firepower.

After gathering at the predetermined location, Gerald and others were surprised to find that Ronzel had only brought sixty or seventy subordinates.

Gerald reminded: "Mr. Ronzel, the Krayt we are going to deal with is said to have four or five thousand subordinates, including more than a thousand elites."

The so-called elites refer to the bandit army that is fully equipped with weapons from the Intis Republic and has received formal training.

The combat effectiveness of these bandit armies is similar to that of the Security Force, or even stronger than them.

The reason why the bandit armies were unwilling to attack Vowtate City before was only because the commander of the State Guard was a Sequence 6, while the bandit leaders of the bandit army were only Sequence 7.

Gerald knew that Ronzel was a very powerful Beyonder, and his subordinates were also well-trained, but adding the Security Force only made a little over a hundred people. It sounded very childish to go and deal with thousands of enemies.

Ronzel said: "You just lead the way, you don't have to worry about the rest.

"Now I order, run forward!"

The members of the Security Team were all very apprehensive. Previously, they had speculated whether they would be used as cannon fodder. Now, after discovering how few people were in this operation, they were certain that they would most likely be used as cannon fodder.

However, after leaving the city for a while, they didn't have time to overthink, because the members of the "Governor's Guard" were in such good physical condition. They had been running continuously for half an hour and weren't even red-faced or out of breath.

After running for more than half an hour, Long Ze'er finally agreed to rest for ten minutes at Gerald's repeated requests. Many members of the Security Team were so tired that they lay directly on the ground, gasping for breath.

Long Ze'er frowned: "Forget it, those who can't keep up can follow slowly behind."

Then he asked Gerald, "You're not going to give out too, are you?"

At this time, Gerald was sure that Long Ze'er did not intend to use him and the members of the Security Team as cannon fodder, otherwise he wouldn't have let them off so easily.

Gerald quickly said: "I can keep up."

Long Ze'er said: "Then you lead the way next, but the other members must also catch up as soon as possible."

"I understand." Gerald quickly made arrangements, telling those members who were not physically fit to follow later, while he led a dozen or so members who were still in good shape to continue leading the way.

They ran like this all the way, and a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, they could already see the town built by Klett's forces on the mountainside in the distance.

That was a wooden structure built after Klett's forces rose to power. After several years of continuous expansion, it already had the scale of a small town.

The location of the town was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it wasn't very steep, and could even easily deploy several regiments of troops, there was a natural rock wall near the town, providing a barrier like a city wall.

It could be said that by placing a few machine guns in key positions, the attacks of several regiments could be repelled.

But Long Ze'er brought a "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon". After he felt that the distance was about right, he ordered the "Extraordinary Puppet" to assemble the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon".

Gerald and the others, who were resting in place, curiously looked at the "Spirit Wave Cannon", and were a little surprised. What kind of weapon had such a long range?

From here to Klett's town, it was still twenty or thirty kilometers!

In fact, Long Ze'er fired the cannon at this location in order to better control the situation. Otherwise, the range of the "Spirit Wave Cannon" was sixty kilometers, and he could have fired it long ago.

After debugging the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon", Long Ze'er ordered: "Bomb the mountain opposite the town."

Although the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon" could easily wipe out those small towns directly, the wealth accumulated by Klett and the wealth of the bandits would also be wiped out.

So Long Ze'er's first shot was just a demonstration.

The light-like cannonball was fired and exploded on the mountain opposite the town almost instantly.

Rumble ~

The violent explosion shook down many wooden buildings in the town opposite the mountain.

The people in the town were like bees whose nests had been blown up, and they all appeared on the streets of the town at once.

They didn't know what was going on, but instinctively felt the danger, and each of them bumped around like headless flies.

"Continue forward!" Long Ze'er ordered.

The "Extraordinary Puppet" quickly disassembled the "Portable Spirit Wave Cannon", and this bandit suppression team continued to move forward.

When the "Extraordinary Puppets" had all set off, Long Ze'er realized that Gerald and the others were still standing there stupidly: "What are you waiting for? Run forward!"

Gerald and the others were not "waiting for something", but were frightened.

Although they were tens of kilometers apart, they could still feel the power of the cannonball just now. After the battle the day before yesterday, they thought that the "Governor's Guard"'s "Big Grenades" and machine guns were already the more powerful weapons of the "Governor's Guard".

At this time, they realized that the "Governor's Guard" had not used heavy weapons in the previous battle at all.

If they had used this cannon at that time, then their hundreds of state guard soldiers would not know how they died.

Gerald swallowed hard before quickly ordering: "Run... run forward."

After advancing a few kilometers, Long Ze'er fired another cannonball, which was closer to Klett's town.

This made the people in that town even more panicked, and then sporadic gunshots rang out, as if Klett's elite were maintaining order.

After that, Long Ze'er fired a cannon every few kilometers. By the third cannon, Klett's elite could not withstand the pressure and joined the chaotic crowd.

For people who have never seen the "Spirit Wave Cannon", this weapon is enough to subvert their understanding.

Before this, they would never have thought that weapons could have such great power!

In the earth-shattering explosion, their confidence and spirit were shattered by Long Ze'er's continuous pressure. Now they only had one thought left, and that was: Escape!

Of course, Long Ze'er would not give them such a chance. Most people ran in one direction, and he would fire a cannon in that direction, and then the bandits would run back in a panic, and run in another direction.

When Long Ze'er led people to attack the town, they hardly encountered any resistance. After a few shots and a few shouts, the bandits who had been completely panicked surrendered.

There were a few extraordinary people among the bandits who did not surrender, but only two of them were Sequence 7, and they were easily solved by Long Ze'er.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and more than a thousand prisoners were captured.

In fact, they still had a chance to capture more prisoners, but they didn't need so much labor now, so Long Ze'er ordered them to leave with all their belongings.

Gerald thought about reminding Mr. Long Ze'er that it would be difficult to catch these people if they were released into the deep mountains, but then he thought, I don't know what new weapons the new governor has in his hands.

What was previously an unsolvable problem for the State Guards could be easily solved by the new Governor.

So in the end, he didn't remind him.

Then Long Ze'er began to search for the property in this town, which was the main purpose of their operation.

This search was carried out by the "Governor's Guard", while the Security Team was responsible for guarding the prisoners.

The members of the Security Team had no objection to this arrangement.

After all, they had already searched the nobles' property once today.

In the evening, the entire battle was over. After interrogation, "Eagle" Klett was one of the Sequence 7s that Long Ze'er had killed before.

The other Sequence 7 was sent by the Intis people.

The bandit suppression team guarded the prisoners and spent the night in the town. Then, under their escort, the prisoners carried the spoils on the return journey.

These people only took away the belongings that were easy to take away. There was still a lot of food in the town, but it was impossible to take it away this time. They could only send a dozen members of the Security Team to guard it and organize more manpower to transport it as soon as possible.

After winning the first bandit suppression battle, Long Ze'er then led the team to eliminate the other two bandit forces at an extremely fast speed.

Originally, Odis and Long Ze'er were a little worried that after the bandit leaders of the two bandit forces died, would those bandits snatch the wealth accumulated by the bandit leaders and escape?

As a result, Mr. Eden, sent by Fenebote, helped them a lot. He spent a lot of effort to stabilize these two bandit forces, and there was no looting or fleeing.

Odis's main concern, the wealth accumulated by those bandits over the years, was finally in his hands.

However, because Wotai Prefecture bordered the Kingdom of Fenebote, many properties had already been transferred.

Even so, after a series of actions, the seized materials were still quite amazing. All the large boxes that Odis brought from Isara were filled, and many properties were casually thrown in the corner of the room.

Odis brought Kenner, who was in charge of finance, over and asked him to take a few "Extraordinary Puppets" to count the cash and register and evaluate the gold, silver and gems.

At this point, the crisis in Wotai Prefecture was basically resolved.

Of course, the banditry was still there, because a large number of bandits had fled into the deep mountains, and soon someone would organize them to form a new bandit army.

However, this was no longer Odis's focus for the time being. Next, he planned to expand the Security Team, recruit a large number of clerks to work for the government, and dismiss many state government officials.

All of these actions were to make the state government more efficient.

……

Connell, the special envoy of Bichir, a senior official in the Western Province, saw the mountain above the wall when passing through the road built on the cliff. It seemed that a large-scale collapse had occurred in recent times.

Connell was a little strange. He hadn't heard of an earthquake in Wotai Prefecture recently.

However, he didn't take it too seriously and quickly passed through here with a few attendants.

The task of Connell this time was to send Governor Odis Carr the commendation order from the senior official, as well as the 20,000 Sassons that Senior Official Bichir had promised before.

What happened in Wotai City before had spread to Isara. In addition to the death of the two barons, there was also Odis's telegram requesting assistance.

As Odis expected, Duke Bowen ultimately chose to remain silent.

In that case, Bichir could issue a commendation order in a fair and upright manner, and at the same time send someone to find out the specific situation.

At this time, it had been two weeks since Governor Odis took office. Connell noticed when he was in Solotu City that Wotai Prefecture had established a "Safety Station" at the railway station.

The caravans going to Wotai Prefecture will be escorted free of charge by the Wotai Prefecture Security Team.

Connell believes that as long as these caravans do not suffer too much economic loss, then this policy will definitely make the commerce of Wotai Prefecture prosper rapidly.

Just as he was thinking this, Connor saw many people standing on both sides of the road ahead.

He couldn't help but frown. He thought he had concealed his tracks very well, so why would anyone be there to greet him?

However, after getting closer, he realized that they weren't there to greet him. Everyone seemed to be waiting for someone from the direction of Forta City.

So Connor got out of the carriage early and asked a passerby, "Who are you waiting for?"

The passerby looked at Connor before saying, "Waiting for the Governor's Captain of the Guard."

Connor was taken aback, "Is the Captain of the Guard coming to suppress bandits?"

Normally, when encountering a bandit suppression force, everyone should try to stay away, right?

After all, it's often difficult to tell whether such a force is coming to suppress bandits or to act as bandits themselves.

"No, they're escorting several bandits to be executed," another person said.

This made Connor feel even stranger, "The bandits are being escorted here to be executed?"

He remembered that it was still a day's journey from here to Forta City.

"It's obvious you're a stranger," a middle-aged man waiting by the roadside said with a smile, "When the new Governor passed through this village after taking office, he heard that a bandit army led by Klett cruelly killed a family.

"Only an old woman was left in that family, and she committed suicide out of despair.

"At the time, the new Governor said that after Klett's bandit army was wiped out, he would escort the murderers to the family's grave to be executed.

"Today, you happen to be here when the Governor's Captain of the Guard is bringing the people here."

At this time, everyone started to discuss. Someone said, "Have you heard? The Governor has wiped out the three largest bandit armies in the four or five days since he took office."

"What, four or five days? How did I hear it was three days?"

"I have relatives in Forta City, and I specifically asked them to inquire! Let me tell you, this Governor is definitely a favored one of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He incited two Barons to fight with the bandit army. Although the two Barons died, the bandit army also suffered considerable losses. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Governor ordered the suppression of bandits and easily eliminated the three largest bandit armies."

"Those two Barons should have died long ago. They had the power to attack the bandit army, but they never went to deal with those bandits, hmph..."

"..."

Connor listened quietly to the side. Soon, he realized that escorting those bandits here to be executed was likely a show put on by Audis Gayer.

The purpose was to make the people clearly understand the current situation in Forta Province, and this highly narrative show had already made the surrounding people accept this new Governor.

Also, because they had learned the news that the large bandit army had been wiped out, everyone felt a sense of hope.

Connor was now somewhat admiring of Audis. In such a short period of time, he was able to make the people of a province that had been in chaos for so long feel hope.

At this time, a small team appeared on the road in the distance. Everyone stopped talking and looked in the direction of Forta City.

The team was moving very fast. Before long, Connor saw that the person at the front of the team was wearing a Lomburg military uniform, riding a white horse, and looked very energetic.

Behind him was a team of soldiers, escorting a prison wagon heading this way.

At first, the surrounding people were just watching quietly. Someone didn't know who, but threw a stone at the people in the prison wagon.

Then, more and more people followed suit.

The escorts did not stop them, but tried to avoid the stones as much as possible.

Soon, the prisoners were smashed with bloodied heads in fear. Although they kept begging for mercy, the onlookers threw things more and more fiercely.

By the time they were brought to the grave of the old woman who committed suicide, they were already half-dead.

Captain of the Guard Ronzel gave a simple speech to everyone, roughly meaning that the new Governor had arrived and the bandit army would be gradually and completely eliminated.

From today onwards, murder and robbery are punishable by death.

As several crisp gunshots rang out, several bandits were executed.

Connor noticed that the weapons used by the "Governor's Guard" were a type of rifle he had never seen before, and seemed to be able to fire continuously!

He once suspected that this was the latest equipment from Rune? Because Connor had heard from Beciel's high-ranking officials that Governor Audis Gayer was born in Backlund.

After the bandits were executed, the people cheered.

Connor sighed inwardly: With the cheers, the order and government credibility of Forta Province were restored.

After Ronzel left, the people dispersed, and Connor continued on his way.

When he was still half a day's journey away from Forta City, Connor saw a small caravan protected by the security team. This small caravan did not come from other places, but was composed of small vendors from Forta City.

They basically sold daily necessities and would stop in the villages along the way for an hour or two to trade with the villagers.

Because there were too many bandits before, such small caravans had not appeared for several years.

After entering Forta City, Connor saw that there were actions to repair dilapidated stores everywhere on the streets.

Connor inquired that the new Governor had given each street merchant a sum of money to repair their stores, which was said to be from the spoils seized from the bandits.

With the encouragement of these people, it seemed that the entire city had become active, and after a certain amount of repairs, it would also enhance the image of the city.

Connor did not immediately go to the State Government, but found a hotel to stay in.

Immediately afterwards, he inquired about a lot of news. For example, the security team had expanded its recruitment. All the members of this expansion came from people who had been driven out of their homes by bandits and had to come to Forta City.

Because they themselves didn't have much savings, only a small number of people got job opportunities, and most of them became homeless people in Forta City.

For a time, theft and robbery incidents occurred from time to time.

The previous Autonomous Council, in order to facilitate management, confined them to a corner of the city and prevented them from coming out.

It is said that that area has become a living hell, and many people have starved to death.

After the new Governor came, he provided them with food, and recruited some who were still healthy to join the security team.

Because the bandit problem has not been completely resolved, they are unwilling to return to their hometowns, so the new Governor arranged for these refugees to build railways outside the city, not only providing food, but also a small amount of wages.

And building railways is the second amazing news Connor inquired about. It is said that the new Governor used the money seized from the bandits to build railways.

This made Connor realize that his second goal was difficult to achieve.

Originally, Beciel heard that the wealth of the nobles and bandits in Forta Province had been taken away by Audis, and hoped to obtain a sum of funds from Audis. The provincial government's deficit was too high.

After all, that was a lot of money, and Audis couldn't spend it all at once.

But if Audis wants to build railways, that money is probably not enough.

In order to determine the authenticity of the railway construction, Connor went to the construction site outside the city to take a look. It seemed that tens of thousands of people were working.

Most of them were skinny refugees, but the work didn't seem so heavy, and they were organizing the site to build a train station.

Connor suddenly felt a little ridiculous. The railway hadn't even started to be built, but the train station was being built first!

However, after using a few cigars and chatting with a grassroots officer of the security officer, he realized that he had thought about the problem too simply.

It is said that while suppressing bandits, Governor Audis invited a designer from Rune to start planning the railway.

The first thing determined was the location of the train station, because as long as there were design drawings for the train station, construction could begin. It was not necessary to conduct surveying and mapping like the railway line.

Of course, Connor understood that the purpose of doing this was to give the refugees a job so that they could survive.

Now that engineer is surveying the railway line in the mountains, and it is said that many tunnels will be dug.

And in Forta City, in addition to starting to build the train station, some factories are also being built. It is said that the new Governor wants to produce everything needed for the railway himself, such as rails and sleepers.

Of course, Connor knew that rails were very difficult to manufacture, and only two or three steel mills in the entire Lomburg could make them.

But the grassroots officer of the security officer said that the Governor didn't know where he had invited a few workers. Of course, some people said they were kidnapped. The workers are guiding the construction of these factories. It is said that after the construction is completed, equipment will be directly introduced to start production.

Connor once again admired Governor Audis's actions!

And he believed that those workers should have been kidnapped. After all, this Governor had been a pirate, and he could completely do such a thing.

Connor gained a lot from his trip to Forta Province these days. He commented in a telegram to High Official Beciel: Audis Gayer is definitely a blood-iron Governor. I believe he will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem of small bandit armies running around in the deep mountains. Forta Province will be more prosperous than before and once again become the barrier of Lomburg in the west.

After a few more days, Connor went to the State Government to issue a commendation order and gave the provincial government's appropriation to the Forta Provincial Government.

It's just that Governor Audis was not there. The person who received him was the Governor's assistant, Ms. Mandy. She was a lady with exquisite makeup and elegant clothes.

She spoke elegantly and had a generous temperament, and was currently responsible for the daily operation of the State Government.

She told Connor that the Governor had gone to the mountains to explore the railway line and could not be contacted.

...

In fact, Audis accompanied Bernadette to see the snow-capped mountains.

After coming to Forta City, he had been busy for half a month, and finally the affairs of the entire province were on the right track.

During this time, Audis attended the Tarot Club as usual, but there were no major events at the recent Tarot Club.

Occasionally, he would also return to Cruz Island to see the construction situation there. After all, the Pirate Conference would be held in a week.

Whenever he had time, Audis would take Bernadette to see the snow mountains.

The average altitude of Wotai Prefecture had already reached more than 2,000 meters, and there were several snow mountains with decent scenery.

Audis prepared chairs and a small table, and the two of them were on a sparsely populated grassland, drinking tea and admiring the beautiful scenery of the snow mountains.

After quietly watching for more than ten minutes, Audis said, "When the banditry was not so serious, there were some noble manors at the foot of the snow mountains in Wotai Prefecture."

"In recent years, the banditry has been too rampant, and those manors have long been abandoned."

"I could take them over, renovate them a bit, and turn them into snow mountain hotels, attracting wealthy merchants and nobles to come and spend money."

Bernadette smiled and said, "Those nobles will definitely find someone to demand these manors."

"How can they prove that they are theirs?" Audis didn't plan to indulge those nobles: "If I call them, will they respond?"

Bernadette sighed, "Wotai Prefecture is really lucky to have a governor like you."

Then she said, "Let's talk about the space we are going to explore."

Audis had already asked Bernadette to prepare in advance, and after seeing the snow mountains, they would explore the space inside that Sealed Artifact.

"I went in once when I was Sequence 7," Audis described, "It was a grassland that was always raining. My spirituality felt like it was the real world, but it didn't seem like it.

"In the distance of that grassland, there seemed to be many dangerous figures swaying. At the time, I felt that those figures seemed to be of a very high level.

"Some time ago, I learned from other channels that a 'Gus Staff' seemed to be in that space, so I thought of exploring that space as soon as possible."

Bernadette slowly nodded: "Your main goal is the 'Gus Staff'?"

"Yes," Audis said, "If there are other gains, everything below the demigod level belongs to me, and everything above the demigod level belongs to you."

This was the best way to distribute it, after all, it was difficult for Audis to obtain demigod-level spoils on his own.

After talking about serious matters, the two of them talked about the current situation in Wotai Prefecture again.

Bernadette asked the question she had been wanting to ask for some time: "Why do you insist on building that railway?"

"First of all, it can provide a large number of jobs," Audis said, "This is a tangible benefit that the local people can get.

"The second purpose is to further popularize the Extraordinary tools I invented, and also to find further improvement plans in practical applications. I also plan to use this batch of tools to cultivate the first batch of Extraordinary tool developers.

"Third, and most importantly, to revitalize the people's confidence and restore the government's credibility.

"If even such a difficult project can be successful, it will completely prove the current state government's ability, thereby enhancing everyone's confidence and strengthening cohesion."

Bernadette fell silent. She had not expected that Audis would use this railway to accomplish so many things.

In the past few days, Bernadette felt that she had really made the right choice to come, otherwise, she would not have imagined that Audis's ability in handling government affairs would be so outstanding.

She felt that if Audis had a broader stage, he would definitely give her more surprises. She even considered whether to create a broader opportunity for Audis?

Thinking about it, she looked at the majestic snow mountain again, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery.

It wasn't until the sun set and the two of them saw the golden scenery of the sunset shining on the snow mountain that they packed up the tables and chairs and returned to Wotai City through the spirit world.

That night, the two of them rested early. The next morning, the two of them, full of energy, made the final preparations.

Then Audis called Longzeer over and asked him to guard outside his door. Audis took out a small circular crystal, with faint starlight flashing inside.

Hanging the "Star Ring" on his door, Audis opened the door again, and the outside had become a wilderness.

The sky was overcast with clouds, and it was drizzling, feeling a little gloomy.

Audis and Bernadette observed the surroundings, and seeing that there was no danger, they stepped into the wilderness one after another.

After stepping into the wilderness, they immediately felt many malicious gazes cast from a distance.

Bernadette looked at the sky, as if she could see the position of the constellations through the dark clouds: "This is indeed in the real world, and it should be within the territory of the Intis Republic."

Audis was stunned: "The official Extraordinary people of Intis didn't discover this strange space?"

Bernadette withdrew her gaze: "This space is not completely in the real world, so it's normal not to be discovered. And if I'm not mistaken, this should be a special space formed by the God war."
