Take Taobao with you to another world

Yun Shen didn't see the real thing.

However, according to the analysis report of the department of Industry City that specializes in researching things related to gifted people, the objects that Fan Tianlan found in Xinmaxi City have an appearance between living things and machinery, and their specific functions are difficult to detect because they have lost power when they are obtained. It can only be preliminarily inferred that it is not intelligent, and the relevant personnel boldly speculate that they may be used for activities such as wiretapping and secret exploration.

Meravia went to the laboratory to have a look, and it was indeed just a look. Those shadow products were shattered into ashes in his eyes, and then silently annihilated, leaving nothing behind.

Experimenter: "..."

Although Meravia thought he was innocent, the soaring readings of all the instruments in the laboratory at that time did not support this statement at all, so he could only complain to Yunshen when he was kicked out: "Is being too strong a mistake?"

Scar, who was also in the office, gave him a gloomy look, and then continued to discuss with Yun Shen: "I think that bitch from the Mist Country did it."

"We don't have very solid evidence." Yun Shen said, "Even if there is, it's hard to pursue."

Scar snorted, "What evidence do you need? Could there be someone else? Don't mention the status of an ambassador. The so-called establishment of diplomatic relations is half-sincere based on the name of the Mist Kingdom alone. I will give you my head."

Yun Shen smiled helplessly, "There's no need to say that."

The impact of such a thing is indeed bad. At least on the surface, there is nothing wrong with the alliance's hospitality to the envoys from the Mist Kingdom, but the other side does not need any reason for using such methods, and it is not even considered malicious.The envoys of the kingdom of mist spying on the alliance's internal secrets in this way, and operating the intelligence network with the alliance's foreign affairs workers through newspapers and newspaper offices, are all "legitimate practices" supported by rules that cannot be put on the table.

The alliance will not pursue the envoys of the country of mist who have left because of this matter, and there will not even be public accusations.

"But that kid Fan Tianlan didn't feel at ease at first. He put these guys in because he can put a 'mark' on anyone he's seen now, right? No matter where they go, his so-called spiritual sense Being able to keep up is like tying a string behind them? What kind of ability is this called?"

"This is the dragon's talent for predation!" Meravia said happily, looking up.

Scar glanced at him, then quickly turned his gaze away as if he was about to be stabbed, "Do those people outside know?"

Yun Shen said calmly, "I don't know."

"They better not know," Scar said.

At this time, it may be necessary for someone like Meravia to come out and ask "why", but he just half-lyed on the sofa and flipped through comic books, obviously these topics did not arouse his interest.

For their own benefit, the envoys of the kingdom of fog do not need a reason to attack those who frequently travel between Industrial City and New Marci City. However, the departure of this team requires a direct motive.Wyatt City, where the Alliance dispatched the most active personnel, and the Country of Mists, even if it can’t be said that there is a distance between the West Continent Plain, there are at least a dozen countries in the middle. In the case of actions to the extent of shaking or taking over the political power of a place, this country that has been self-enclosed for several years and has extremely limited communication with its surroundings suddenly dispatched such a team to trace the root cause.

Many people in the Western Continent Plain believe that there is "something" in the Mist Country, and that Prince Rand from the Central Empire is making some pretty big plans around it, so that the slightest interference from the Alliance will attract their attention , and even mobilized such a large-scale team to snoop.The Marquis of Solaris is not only Prince Rand's subordinate, but also his ally, and she will not let her do anything that is not important.

It is spying rather than expulsion. Obviously, even though they have regarded Xizhou as their own territory, they have not gained actual control over this vast area. It can be speculated that the reason why they have such a huge difference between their cognition and reality is because Their career is already at a critical stage. Once successful, the entire Xizhou Plain will be under their control.

But for now, they can't get out.

Therefore, Prince Rand listed the Alliance Chamber of Commerce as a partner in the name of the Mist Country. They may have regarded the Alliance as an opponent or a potential threat, and the two have no intersection for the time being, so they use the Alliance Chamber of Commerce as a temporary contact window.

The alliance also needs such a window, so they will definitely be invited to stay permanently.

At this point in the discussion, there is a question that I have to ask——

It is a long journey from the country of fog to Wyatt City, and then from Wyatt to the alliance, but the straight-line distance from the country of fog to Industrial City is much shorter.Although it is not known whether the country of mist has discovered that a group of mountain-dwelling tribes once lived on the border of the former green and gold country, and then moved away with their families, the steep mountains between the two places are not completely insurmountable.

The team led by Solaris showed interest in both electricity and steam engines used in the Midwest, saying they had no exposure to such forms of things, but they were more interested in the grassroots organization of the League than the technology.This attitude that is different from ordinary people may also mean that the kingdom of fog has the same level - or do they think it has a higher level of power system?

These things inferred based on the current contact situation need to be verified one by one by the facts.Right now, it seems that the Kingdom of Mists is more active in intelligence work, and has already mastered a lot of specific information about the alliance, but most of the alliance can only rely on speculation and assumptions, but even if Fan Tianlan's ability is not taken into consideration, he must think Think about what Ansalu and other foreign affairs workers said, they have established a relatively extensive network of relationships in the Xizhou Plain.

The Mist Country only showed strong interest in the Alliance, but almost the entire West Continent Plain wanted to know what they were doing and whether there was any threat to them—or what kind of threat it was.

The discussion on recent affairs gradually came to an end, and the topic gradually returned to Fan Tianlan.This young man played a much greater role in the development of the alliance than most people imagined, even if you don't mention the superstition that spreads more and more in the fringes: Believe in the alliance and become smart, saying that as long as you become a member of the alliance, Sincerely accepting the blessing of the Liberator, no matter how stupid a villager is, he can become clear-sighted. The example is that as long as he attends those literacy classes that are blooming everywhere, within a year at most, the most hopeless person can also write his own words. name, learn addition and subtraction within one hundred, and be able to read at the most basic level—such results were unimaginable even ten years ago, not to mention outside the league.

But this kind of large-scale anomaly that can be discovered through data collection and social observation cannot touch the perception of gifted people. Even if they are inevitably affected like ordinary people, even if they are deliberately reminded to pay attention to this problem, they It is rare to find yourself receiving a strong intellectual blessing before leaving the alliance.

Meravia said: "Actually, it's just a question of grades, or the essence of life is different for everyone." He tried hard to recall what Yun Shen once said, "This is...'a more fundamental level of adjustment'. A 'simultaneous promotion method'."

Xiu Moore once asked Meravia: "Will the Dragon Clan develop their own dependents? Is it the kind of clan that exchanges allegiance for the favor of the Dragon Clan?"

"Dragon doesn't need such things," said Meravia.

"However..." He paused, and then said, "If you want to say, it should be said that all the dragons are my brother and I's dependents?"

Although the form and development direction of strength talent show great randomness in human beings, the research results of Mage University also show from the side that the more powerful the talent is, the more similar their strength will be. Their language expresses it like this: the stronger it is, the closer it is to the essence of the law, and the purer the manifestation of power, the more indefinable it is.Just like Meravia is the "Black Dragon Lord" and has no other attributes except the title of Destroyer.

Then another problem naturally arises.

What stage of growth is Fan Tianlan in now?How far will his strength grow before it stops?

Age is a taboo that cannot be mentioned in person.

As for the growth rate of strength...

In fact, probably only he himself knows.

"This is really a wonderful talent." Scar dropped the pen, crossed his arms on his chest, looked at Yun Shen and said, "It's like it was born for you. You see, now he knows the things in the sky, and the things in the underground He also knows, do you think there will be a day when he can 'see' what's going on in a person's head?"

Yun Shen didn't answer directly, he thought deeply.

Scar was startled.

"No way? Shouldn't you say 'this kind of thing is unlikely to happen'?"

"Because someone has already done it," said Meravia casually.

Scar suddenly turned around.

"Who?"

"Astaros." Yun Shen said.

A long time ago—as far as 100 years ago, when Yun Shen first settled down in the Sasheer tribe, he had indirect contact with the subordinates of the Far Eastern monarch. It is not surprising to refer to the relationship between Meravia and him He has his own intelligence network in Central Continent and has been operating it for a long time.But at least when his emissaries crossed continents and came before the crowd, it was generally believed that they gathered and delivered information in the usual way.

But reports of the experience of that polar expedition cast doubt on that.

Then, under the deliberate search and in-depth investigation of the Eastern United Kingdom, as well as the analysis assisted by the Industrial Alliance, they discovered that the intelligence personnel of the Far Eastern Monarch in Central Continent used another kind of secret order, express letter, and scroll—even their It is mainly used to pass messages in this way.

They call it "the way of the heart".

These "end personnel" can condense what they see in their eyes and write in their hands into extremely strong "thoughts" through meditation, so strong that they can touch a certain restriction, and transmit this information to them like a "data packet" in an instant. In the minds of other "node personnel", the "node personnel" will transfer it to the "terminal processor" on another continent through some auxiliary means, and finally read it by Astaros.

This is an almost recent research result, Scar has just returned from another dam project - his freezing ability is very important to the project, so he hasn't had time to read the relevant documents.Although he often said that it is enough for such studies to tell him the final conclusion, this conclusion is really difficult to calm down.

Regardless of Fan Tianlan's "field" ability or Astaros' ability to directly affect the spiritual level of a person, for a traditional talent like Scar Nightmare, they are all capitalized cheating.

Just like Yunshen also admitted that the construction of the current industrial system is really cheating.Scar could even conclude with intuition that the so-called kingdom of fog was also cheating.

How did the world come to be like this?Sometimes Scar is also very confused. At least ten years ago, this was a serious world of swords and magic!

Now what is this stuff...

Then Scar thought about the work he had just done—adding ice to concrete, etc., and still shut up in his head.

Since the decision made by the upper-level meeting was to "let nature take its course", the alliance merchants should be contracted to become the official partners of the kingdom of fog, and have a privilege that other chambers of commerce do not have: permanent residence in the realm of fog.Although this privilege is not what everyone wants, the members of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce seem to have no fear. They even opened a river transport route from Wyatt across the hinterland of West Continent to the country of fog, and transported a large amount of supplies from The industrial alliance of the Western Regions sent to the entire Western Continent.

It took less than half a year from the white ship first appeared in Wyatt Harbor to the opening of this sea route.

This speed shocked all the Western Continent countries.What shocked them was not only the amazing strength shown by the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, but also the force displayed by the Mist Country during the opening of the waterway—not everyone would make way for the Alliance people for the temporary benefit in front of them. The powerful power of the belt allows them to overcome many adverse hydrological conditions, but there are always some places they cannot go around.

Then the kingdom of mist started.

Regardless of whether it is because the Alliance Chamber of Commerce is really irreplaceable to them, the way the Mist Kingdom demonstrates its force is quite frightening. If a king repeats "I refuse" three times to the Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the representatives of the Mist Kingdom Quietly early in the morning, a huge cavalry will appear in the palace square.

There are thousands of soldiers in this well-formed army. The faces of all the generals and soldiers are blurred, and the shadows under the helmets are as deep as a ghost. Inflicting real damage to things is something that only occurs in nightmares.Only two kings of extraordinary courage could organize a feeble and useless resistance when this army came before them, and so they met a miserable fate, imprisoned, and perhaps forever shut in the mist.

The rest of the people chose to submit when they saw the ghost army.

In order to make up for their mistakes, these kings and nobles used a lot of money to calm the anger of the Mist Kingdom, so the Union Chamber of Commerce has been doing well since then, but it is the Mist Country that has benefited the most from this matter. These compensations are completely sufficient to make up for it. They all invested in this channel—although it was not much.Importantly, they have established an unshakable prestige through this.

For the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, it means that they will be tied to the chariot of the Mist Kingdom from now on.

But at least for now, the relationship with the country of fog is conducive to the development of the chamber of commerce.Although in the eyes of the Western Continent countries, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce is already the same as the Mist Country, but this has not reduced people's demand for Alliance products, but has significantly improved-no one has forgotten that the best and largest weapon supplier in Western Continent today , it is the United Chamber of Commerce.Even if the country of mist takes up a considerable share of trade, the remaining part is enough to meet the needs of the most powerful countries.

Even if the position is bound, the alliance people are not affiliated with the kingdom of fog.

As long as there is enough interest, the Alliance will do anything.

Since people can't refuse the alliance's products, nor can they refuse the information brought by the alliance, so wherever the White Ship's port is, their newspapers will also be published.People in Xizhou began to accept information from the outside world. The new shipping lanes were there, and it was so easy to turn curiosity into action—the white ship on the return journey urgently needed someone to fill its empty cabin.The country of fog cannot prevent people from going to the country where the Alliance people are located. Under the influence of various factors, this long route has become active across the board.

Regardless of how the Alliance Chamber of Commerce became the largest Chamber of Commerce in Western Continent because of this, because of the opening of this air route, and because of the stimulation of the Misty Kingdom to the countries of Western Continent, a large number of Western Continents took the initiative to go to the central and western regions of the Alliance, and their experience has further deepened. Facilitated the movement of people between the Xizhou Plain and the Industrial Alliance.Since even Knight Tita was repeatedly shocked during the journey, let alone the people from Xizhou who have long been prejudiced against the so-called Western Regions, and who are dubious about the low-key and modest descriptions in the newspapers?

Hundreds of people traded, traveled in the Central and Western District, and even accepted the "harsh" conditions of the alliance and stayed to study. During this period, the Union Chamber of Commerce continued to widen the gap with all local chambers of commerce in Western Continent, regardless of their size. No matter how big or how fast the various branches are expanding, there is no sign of difficulty or instability.

For those who are already familiar with the alliance, and may have even changed their minds into the shape of the alliance, they just take it for granted that the alliance people do this.It's just developing business. Compared with annexing dozens of countries, destroying the old order, and establishing a new order, this is not a difficult task.

But for others, they see a completely different picture.

At the beginning, a large part of those who went to the Industrial Alliance went with the intention of finding a way to fight against the Mist Country. The high civilization, openness and tolerance of the Central and Western Regions, and the strength of the Alliance itself shattered their fragile self-esteem. It did give them great hope.That's why even though the alliance requires that a nobleman's son enrolls with thirty civilian students from the same area, and a businessman needs fifteen, the applicants still keep coming.Naturally, the reason is not only because of the low tuition fees and the superior environment, but also the substantial and meaningful courses are their biggest purpose.

In the first semester alone, the exchange schools in the Central and Western District received more than 2000 students.These first batch of students from different countries were not important training objects for the families and chambers of commerce behind them, but the alliance didn't care.They taught these young people with more or less identities and the civilian students they brought without discrimination. The courses included language, arithmetic, geography, agriculture, history and military. These series of courses that should only be taken by a few nobles not only It is carried out in the classroom, and the teacher in charge of them often takes them outdoors to guide them hand in hand.

This educational method is very novel for young people, and the effect is very remarkable. The process of the students' mood and ability changes is recorded in the letters they send back to the family. The school's begrudging pupils return home, their transformations convincing those who doubted them.

Going to the league was quickly seen as a safe and highly profitable investment.The boat fare of the white boat is not expensive, and the tuition fees of the exchange school will not let ordinary people lose their fortunes. If they are ordinary students from poor families, as long as they give up some unnecessary fantasies and recognize their identities, someone from the alliance school will arrange them. They go to some factories or construction sites to "work-study" and earn their own tuition fees through the labor of their hands. And because the school provides free board and lodging during the semester, some civilian students can even save some expenses to support their families.

In fact, due to the scientific education methods of the exchange school and the good living and medical conditions provided to the students, many people will have a significant improvement in their physique after a semester of study, so that some people even go to the school for the purpose of "rejuvenating the body". Sign up.Moreover, the exchange school has a very loose age limit for students. Even if they are middle-aged, as long as they have the desire to learn, the school's doors will be open to them.

But what is most attractive to the commoners of West Continent is that the academic certificates of the exchange schools allow them to be hired by the Union Chamber of Commerce first.Although most people's first choice is the well-paid alliance chamber of commerce, other large chambers of commerce, great nobles, and even the king have a strong demand for these talents with outstanding education, comprehensive abilities, and flexible minds trained by exchange schools. In addition to the practical use as subordinates or attendants, since the courses these students receive are almost the same as those of the Alliance, some people will have a special feeling that is inconvenient to explain.

"Did they feel that by using these servants, they were stepping on the Alliance?" Playing like a dog?"

One of his companions was nestled in a chair and was about to fall asleep, while the other sighed softly while looking at the clear liquid in the glass.The market is just across the street, bright light comes in from the huge prismatic windows, and the log tabletops are painted brightly and polished so that they can reflect the reflections of the drinkers. They are in a tavern run by a Union Chamber of Commerce, It's only morning, and the tavern is already full of people, people are drinking, dining, listening to newspaper readers reading newspapers, talking and exchanging market intelligence.

In West Continent, only the tavern run by the Alliance Chamber of Commerce will be open from morning to midnight. It is not so much a tavern, but more like a mixture of taverns, restaurants and social places, because the interior space is large enough to accommodate everything.

"They're just inviting wolves into the house," said Lord Bosch.

"Maybe we are too," he added.
