Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 267: People who know the prophet best (7200)
Terra 775, May 25th, Nanling Chonglingjiao Holy Land, the Snow Mountain Square next to Daxueding Keel Peak has been completed.
On this ice-snow plateau made of endless permafrost, many high platforms and simple buildings have been erected.
These buildings are the residences of the workers and also the studios of the city hall. One terminal base station after another is distributed along the mountain road to ensure that everything is within the jurisdiction of the Heart of Terra.
The construction of the 'Frost Sky Dome' has not yet started, so it is the 'foundation ceremony'. What kind of potential does the Prophet have and is it worth their investment.
On May 28th, with the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Truth of the Empire, Im Dale Zayev, he arrived at Xiahui Territory in person, and had a good talk with Earl Silver Peak. Attitude—Foreigners may not care about the thoughts of the land defenders, but they, the people of the empire, still remember the two attacks Axel launched against the elder brother of the Earl of Silver Peak.
Although in the follow-up, the reason why Earl Yinfeng became an earl was due to the empire's compensation, but an obvious attitude can make them feel at ease.
Many nobles set off at this time, but there are only three days left before the foundation laying ceremony, so they can only take flying monsters, aircraft or airships.
An airship sailing from Canaan Moor to Xiahui.
【This is a mission that is almost certain to die, so we chose you, Ace Nemathus. You are the descendant of the kings, and you are an excellent psychic with the blood of kings... You can definitely withstand this 'promotion' ceremony and become our trump card...]
A few months ago, the voice of the **** director of the demon department in the rough stone laboratory still echoed in his ears, and Ace Nemathus could even recite it. He murmured in a hazy dream: "... this It's a brand new technology, and it may be risky, but you also know that this is your only chance."
"The King of Light (Father) is watching me..."
The demon awakens from the flesh.
A pale and extremely weak young elf suddenly opened his eyes. His long green hair and golden eyes prove that he has the blood of the 'Aoba Department'. If he is seated, it proves that he must be a nobleman.
(Damn it, there is something wrong with the soul of the Ten Kings Blood, even a demon like me would have nightmares, this is simply unreasonable!)
Some fusion demons who were still in shock looked around cautiously, but no one noticed his gaffe just now except for a guest directly opposite who looked at him with some doubts.
At this point, the fusion demon took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He is Ace Nemathus, the twenty-ninth son of the Flameland Lightrider. Because he also inherited a little bit of blood, and also awakened spiritual power, he was not demoted to a commoner like those other brothers and sisters, and was even arrested for some unspeakable blood experiments... After all, it is somewhat valuable.
But after confirming that Ace's "charm psychic power" cannot affect sublimators beyond the second energy level, and even charm an ordinary first energy level requires one-on-one communication, his value is also greatly reduced.
So, he was arrested by the Yuanshi Research Institute and tried to carry out the experiment of "devil conversion".
The kings of Feiyan Land have a good reputation among the local people. Although they almost openly conduct various human experiments and inhumane tests, they clearly mark the price and pay the money readily, just paying a lot of money for their lives.
Moreover, most of the experimental subjects are not ordinary people in the true sense, but 'princes and princesses' with the blood of kings.
This is a special phenomenon that only occurs in the Terran sublimation population: children in the genetic sense are not considered as their own heirs at all, only those with sublimated blood can be regarded as true descendants if the sublimated structure is inherited.
Because of the special bloodline, the inheritance of the kings of Feiyan Land does not hinder the birth, but the price is that the bloodline inheritance is also more difficult, and the result of this wide-spreading net is that there are many bloodlines in the royal family, and there are very few of them who are not geniuses. many.
The kings have always been inhumane in this respect: it is precisely because of the same blood, so many experimental results can be quickly converted into strength and gathered on the kings themselves, so they use their descendants as experiments No mercy, only the best group of children can survive and become the next generation of kings and ministers.
Unfortunately, Ace is the "prince" who was used for experiments. To be honest, can this kind of unlucky status really count as a prince? Ace is deeply skeptical.
Fortunately, Ace's demon conversion was very successful. His soul is quite tough. After devouring the demon part, there is no loss of self-awareness. Even his spiritual power has been strengthened, and he can display the "group human charm" '.
With this powerful ability, Ace was entrusted with an extremely important task.
That is to sneak into Canaan Moore, devour a target, and then go to Xiahui Territory as that target.
That target is the illegitimate son of a great elder in the Green Leaf Department of Canaan Moor—an elf scholar who indulges in sensual pleasures.
The perception of the elves is very sensitive, and the pleasure comes very quickly and intensely, so many elves who do not have the pressure of life will indulge in various enjoyments. Only those individuals who are the hardest and self-disciplined can transcend this physical talent and convert it into an understanding of the world. Sharper perception and even supersense.
But obviously, this illegitimate scholar named Andruida Aoba does not have such perseverance.
Ace first disguised himself as an elf prostitute with a prosthetic body, then approached her as a prostitute, and found an opportunity to take off the elf scholar's "psychic protection pendant" and devour his soul.
To be honest, Ace doesn't like the feeling of being manipulated, even...but he still bears the humiliation.
Everything is because of the promise given to him by his father, the King of Light, Carlo Nemathus.
[If you successfully complete this mission, then when you return, I promise you that I will use your current posture as the core to try to generate a brand new 'devil's blood']
The elegant man sat on the throne, overlooking the pale figure curled up on the carpet, he said indifferently: [Even, I can promise you that I will use the resources of the royal family to promote you]
[Promote you to be a 'big devil']
Demon blood. big devil.
Because he is also a test subject, Ace is very aware of the gold content of these two words... The blood of the devil is the final result of all the experiments of the fusion of the devil, and the devil is close to the goblin and the virtual machine god, but it is even more twisted and terrifying His power is imprinted in his blood.
The great demon... refers to the 'title demon' who goes deep into the abyss of the void and has his own unique shape. The lowest level of this kind of demon is also the peak of the third energy level. On his own, it is impossible for him to become so strong in his entire life.
At that time, Ace was very excited until he heard his goal.
Xiahui Territory in the Southern Ridge of the Empire, the territory of the Prophet of Silver Peak.
"How can I succeed?"
At that time, Ace questioned like this: "That is a prophet, he will know the results of our actions half a year earlier!"
[But the prophet also has a limit]
Wang sneered in his memory and said: [Your action is important, but it is not the only one. Earl Yinfeng is so powerful in Nanling, do you think other nobles are happy to see this situation? Those little nobles don't mind using our money to cause trouble for the Silver Peak leader. They don't really want to be oppressed by a young and ambitious earl. 】
【Especially the recent business and trade in Yinfeng Territory has severely suppressed the development of other territories—either cooperate and join their system, or become a remote and forgotten area, and the poverty is extremely poor]
[Not to mention, there are some things, even if he knows, he can't fight against them]
Ace shook his head slightly. He raised his head and looked at the passenger sitting directly opposite him, an imperial nobleman.
"I'm sorry, I haven't slept well recently."
Ace said with a smile using the appearance of "Andruida Aoba", and he used his psionic power "charm" a little bit: "Where are we now? Can we still catch up with the foundation stone laying ceremony?"
"Still in the golden plain."
Although this imperial nobleman also has the strength of the second energy level, under the charm of the devil, he still subconsciously developed a good impression of him, and replied smoothly: "But it will be soon, the foundation stone laying ceremony will be held in the afternoon. The Harvest Ceremony with the Yinfeng leader...we can't keep up with the big ceremony, but it's not very important."
All the people on this empty boat are people who go to Yinfeng to join in the fun, a small part of them are nobles or envoys, and most of them are tourists with some spare money at home.
"Are you also interested in Chongling Sect?" Ace noticed the family coat of arms of this nobleman... He is Viscount Rimore of the Western Plains, a nobleman of martial arts. But from the current point of view, he doesn't have the cocoon of practicing swords and bows in his hands. On the contrary, he is like the **** elf, full of depravity immersed in women.
But even so, in theory, he should stay in the western plains, which is now considered the front line, and be responsible for supplying supplies for the western legion. If he is not really interested, he will definitely not be able to come to Yinfeng by airship.
"Interested? Of course!" As soon as he talked about this, Viscount Lemore became angry. He sneered angrily and said, "If it wasn't for our wise and intelligent prophet who robbed all the military rations Order, how can I have time to go to this sloppy place of exile?"
Induced by the charm power, he began to talk eloquently.
It turns out that the Rimore family is indeed a noble of martial arts, but after conquering the aborigines in the western region, these iron-blooded knights have degenerated from generation to generation, and have become ordinary local lords and nobles.
The Rimore family is now mainly engaged in the food industry. During the ten-year confrontation between the Empire and Flameland, he successfully transformed into a military food supplier for the Western Legion. It's full of money, playing more recklessly than before the war started.
Originally, his good days wanted to come to an end, either the empire was defeated, or the empire won, and he flattened the group of soft-footed Absalom in one go, but judging from the current situation, he At least another four or five years can be earned.
But who knows, some time ago, a sudden army emerged.
That is the military food led by Yinfeng.
In today's Terra, there is no perfect concept of "professional military rations". The nobles and their knights naturally prepared the best sublimation supplements, and the elite troops also had special rations, with meat for every meal.
But for those guard troops and engineering troops stationed in the fortress, what they eat basically depends on what the local area provides.
In this regard, Viscount Rimore thought that he did not treat the sergeants badly. At least 80% of the grain he provides is good, and the remaining 20% is just old grain, no one can eat it when it is made into food, there is absolutely no problem.
For so many years, which country's army has not been like this? Even the soldiers themselves don't care. Anyway, it is good to have something to eat in this kind of border mountainous area. At least the empire does not deduct military rations, which is quite conscientious.
But the opponent is Yin En.
Under the support of the new agricultural system based on the agricultural building, Yin En quickly opened a large number of sugar workshops and oil extraction workshops, and various "sugar drinks" that followed passed through Xiahui Territory After the experiment, more than four different brands have been launched, namely the classic 'Happiness Coke', 'Delicious Orange Juice', 'Sweet Flower Tea' and 'Joyful Lemonade'.
Although they are only sold around Nanling Agate Stone Plain at present, the popularity of these four drinks is beyond everyone's imagination. In recent years, Agate Stone Plain has planted a large amount of corn as a raw material for syrup, so Silver Peak The price is kept down so low that you can buy a bottle for about two pfennigs.
According to the guarantee from the Beverage Development Section, as long as the Alchemy Park can mass-produce various additives, and with the lower price of syrup raw materials next year, they are confident that they can suppress the price to one bottle of Finney.
Two pfennies are enough to buy a kilogram of wheat and a bottle of sugar water, which sounds a bit extravagant.
But in today's Nanling, sugar is a luxury, not to mention, it has become a trend in related publicity.
And just when everyone thought that Yin En would take advantage of the trend to develop more other drinks, when he was an earl of drinks.
However, he has opened a series of brand new food workshops, aiming to produce compressed food that can be stored for a long time.
Compressed biscuits of various flavors, canned air-dried meat that can be stored for decades (or even hundreds of years), canned delicious and juicy fruit, concentrated syrup, fried noodles, canned braised pork, canned boiled beans...
Once these products were developed, everyone knew that they were specially designed to be stored as disaster rations.
For Nanling people who have experienced food disasters, it is really safe to have a box of compressed biscuits at home. Good news for those with inadequacy phobias.
Of course, compared to the beverage series, Yinfengling's spare food and various canned food are relatively expensive. The only cheaper ones are the various salted fish cans and fish paste cans developed in cooperation with Harrison Port. These cans also have high-level alternatives to 'canned shrimp sausage' and 'canned fish luncheon meat', but in general, if it is regarded as a 'reserve investment' rather than daily necessities, then the taste and price of these cans are inferior. called perfect.
"Who knew, they actually started to develop military rations!"
When he said this, Viscount Rimore almost gritted his teeth.
It's no wonder that he gritted his teeth - because with the launch of the Yinfengling army ration series, they, the western plain nobles, completely lost the right to directly supply military rations, and became material suppliers for the Yinfengling food processing factory.
One packet of beverage brewing agent can brew more than 800ml of sweet drinks.
A quick-heating military ration, with meat, oil, vegetables and fruits, if paired with orange juice, even vitamins are added.
In addition, Silver Peak collar also provides a large number of cheap sugar packs - on the battlefield, sugar is extremely important, it can quickly provide heat and energy for the body, has a long shelf life and is easy to carry.
This is a comparison between industrialized military rations and classical military rations. The Viscount Rimore and other Western Plains nobles suffered a complete defeat and had to withdraw from the market—not to mention that there seems to be the shadow of the Second Prince behind him, the actual commander of the Western Legion Not long after the samples were tasted, the corresponding orders were issued.
The attitude of the royal family is obvious. Viscount Rimore couldn't resist.
It sounds like there is no difference, who is not selling?
But the people on the Prophet's side are not easy to fool. They have very strict requirements on raw materials, and for some reason, no one accepts bribes.
Can't make money, so he can only work for others honestly, and even has to go to other people's territories to negotiate related contracts with others because of related cooperation reasons. It's no wonder that Viscount Rimore has such a temper.
Ace expressed deep sympathy for this.
Unexpectedly, not only Feiyan had a headache, but even the people of the empire also had a headache about this prophet... No wonder there are so many imperial nobles in Nanling who are willing to cooperate secretly with Feiyan, they must be because of this silver Earl Feng's actions did not make any money, so let's do it from the guts.
But for some reason, Ace felt like sighing a little.
Although he is an enemy, seriously, every move of Earl Yinfeng has brought benefits to the empire.
Whether it is the new agricultural reform, or cheap sugar supplies, or those compressed military rations and various canned foods, they will greatly increase the abundance of supplies for the Western Legion of the Empire, and even bring about an increase in combat effectiveness.
Aside from other things, Ace is sure that although the Earl of Silver Peak has never been to the Western Front, the soldiers there definitely know Yin Yinfeng's name.
However, it is such a nobleman who has made great contributions, but is secretly disgusted and hostile by other imperial nobles, and even complains almost like the person in front of him.
Think about the same situation inside Feiyandi...
"Hey, when will this world calm down?" He was obviously a demon, but Ace still couldn't help complaining in his heart: "In the final analysis, Earl Silver Peak's strength is weak. Someone dares to whisper behind his back."
"So am I. If I don't become a big devil, I will never be able to make it... So I'm sorry, Prophet, this is my task."
"Damn it, the food provided on this empty boat is actually produced by Yinfeng!"
At the same time that Ace strengthened his will again, Viscount Rimore's complaint sounded again.
Looking up, Ace saw the service staff of the airship pushing the dining car over. The food provided on the dining car happened to be the instant food series produced by Yinfengling.
Ignoring the complaints of the imperial nobles next door, Ace watched with great interest as the flight attendant lifted the cover for him.
A small box of condensed milk and two pieces of bread with butter. Steaming beef curry burrito, a can of 'braised chicken thigh', a cup of canned peach, a bottle of iced cola, and a salad with sweet sauce.
For people of status like them, this is not a rich meal, even a bit shabby. The vast majority of people will order these dishes just because they are curious and want to know how good the 'mass-produced food' produced by Xiahuiling tastes.
Ace tasted it. The bread paired with condensed milk is extremely sweet and soft, which is obviously a new technology.
The beef in the beef curry rice is a bit too rotten. This is obviously canned beef that has been overcooked in an industrial kettle, but it tastes very good. It is eaten with the big burrito below. One serving is enough for an average soldier's meal.
As for the braised chicken thigh on the other side, this braised vocabulary is a brand new word. Ace took a bite and realized that this cooking method requires a lot of oil, and it also contains caramelized ingredients... This cooking method There was a similar one in the cold area of Yanjiang, but the Xiahui collar... was actually made into a can?
As for the canned fruit and salad, they are mediocre. He has eaten similar ones before. In this regard, Yinfengling has no advantage.
But Coke gave the devil an extra surprise: "What is this? It's a bit stimulating...but it activates the sense of taste...The elf's perception is too sharp, this feeling...pretty good!"
"However, the first sip is very good. The second sip is ordinary sweet water. Most people may like it very much, but I have never been short of sugar."
Even so, Ace was quite shocked: "If the price of these foods is really as cheap as advertised... Then in the future, wouldn't everyone in the empire be able to eat these delicious and cheap foods?" Food?"
"Earl Yinfeng, you have achieved such a great result without making a sound?!"
"Boring stuff."
But the Viscount Rimore on the other side dropped the tableware with a look of boredom: "The bread is ordinary, the quality of the beef is low, this braised chicken leg has a strange smell, what spices are used? Could it be Cover up the smell of dead chicken?"
"There is also this Coke. I really don't know what to drink. It's not as good as wine."
"Just this kind of thing, I don't know where Yinfeng has the guts to sell it! Earl Yinfeng is indeed a guy with no background, and he directly obtained the title of earl by relying on the prophet..."
Ace looked at the imperial nobleman with a strange expression on his face.
He couldn't help feeling a little ridiculous: "This guy, does he really know what he is evaluating? With the conditions of a nobleman, any food can pick thorns."
"However, according to our information about Flame Land, Yin En Yinfeng intends to popularize this kind of food in his own territory...distribute it on demand through the city hall, and completely eliminate the food crisis!"
"Instant food and canned food can effectively resist the attack of our Flameland's biological weapons, and can also prevent epidemic infection. All kinds of high-heat processing are enough to kill hidden corrosive bacteria... How can we break through Flameland? The food safety defense line led by Xiahui wants to break his head, if these things are popularized in the future, the threat of biological weapons will be reduced by more than half-and the imperial nobles think that these foods are not good enough?"
Even in Flying Flame Land, the food problem has not been completely resolved. The kings have no intention of controlling the population. The population keeps increasing, but the cultivated land has not expanded. Flying Flame Land is locked in Absalom, a quiet sea area. Surrounded by mountains, they must wage war to have a chance to breathe.
In order to fight for more land, but also to consume more "unnecessary population", Flameland has been warlike since ancient times. This is the result of geographical reasons. If possible, Feiyan also wants peace, but unfortunately everything is fate.
The agricultural building under Xiahui is a turning point to change this situation. Organizations within Feiyandi have begun to try to reproduce the foundation of this new agriculture, but unfortunately, the details are still incomplete, and the war has already begun. It is imminent, so what if it is really reproduced? That is something that only the next generation can enjoy.
"Yin Yinfeng... If in a more peaceful age, he might become a sage-like figure. He will eliminate famine and change society. He will distribute his wealth to everyone so that common people can drink The honey-sweetened water exclusive to the nobles, so that everyone can have a delicious full meal.”
Ace suddenly wanted to laugh: "Maybe, we enemies of the Prophet are the ones who know the Prophet best."
"Because we know what he can do, we will do our best to eliminate and suppress him. On the contrary, you allies are afraid and guard against him."
——It is a blessing for your empire to have Earl Silver Peak. The reason why we are against him is only because he is an imperial man, not because of his own knowledge and ability.
"Corrupt nobles of the empire..." he sighed in his heart.
Because of the charm power, Viscount Rimore is still trying to talk to this charming elf scholar. It's nothing to the nobles of the empire.
It's just that Ace is no longer interested in communicating with this arrogant and boring imperial nobleman. He turned his head and looked at the direction of Xiahui collar in the distance through the window.
That's where his goal is.
"It's time to contact Rongying for the next step."
he thought to himself.
Even if the other party is a sage who can change the world, they will not show mercy.
Although it is sad, there is no way.
This world has been divided into the simplest and most direct camps from the very beginning.
'you' and 'us'.
Maybe an insignificant 'they' is added, but that's just the 'you' who can fight to become 'us'.
"Unfortunately, you are not on our side."
At this moment, the airship has begun to enter the Baisen Mountains.
It can be vaguely seen in the distance that the place where the big snow top is located deep in the Baisen Mountains is shining with holy and pure brilliance.
The ceremony of the grand ceremony has already begun, and the really important envoys and big shots have already arrived. They, the group of 'latecomers', are insignificant existences.
But soon, they will shock the whole world.
Close your eyes slightly, then open them again.
Beautiful purple light flashed in the eyes, and the demon 'Huo Xin' released his spiritual energy with all his strength.
At this moment, all the personnel in the entire airship were charmed... controlled by Ace.
Then...then continue to drive in the direction of Xiahui City!
