Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 158: Meeting in New Washington
New Washington.
Since the Double Moon Festival, the New World has entered autumn. This bustling city with a century-old history is obviously deserted in the bleak autumn breeze. Many of the noisy stores in the past are still closed, especially with the elves. Even large groups quietly left the city.
At this time, nearly half a month has passed since the Single Moon Festival called the Day of Nightmare, and everyone in the city could not forget everything that happened that night. The sudden **** moonlight enveloped the entire new Washington For the colonists, it was shocking to this unprecedented scene, but it was terrifying to the local natives.
In the heart of the city, in the palace area, the dead skeletons that wreaked havoc in the palace that day were completely cleaned up, and the remains were completely burned to powder. In order to prevent future situations, the Adjudicator Academy also reviewed the locations where the bodies might be buried. Carry out a close inspection and leave no omissions.
The response measures of the Adjudicator Academy can be said to be quite rapid, but a lot of impacts are still caused after all, and it is difficult to reverse it in a short time.
In a hall in the palace, around a huge round table, there are a dozen Americans sitting in a heated discussion.
"In the past two weeks in New Washington, business transactions have dropped by 12%, and many of the daily necessities have almost completely stagnated. If this continues, our income will drop a lot this year."
"Business is second. I am now worried about the population problem! This is the population access data I have just obtained from the City Defense Department. In just ten days, nearly forty to fifty thousand people left New Washington! Our whole city is no more than one. Millions of people!"
"Population is still very important to us. The various infrastructures of the colony require a lot of labor. Our tax revenue mainly comes from the local indigenous people. A lot of hard work cannot be done by the people in our college. This problem is true. Need to pay attention."
"I have seen the statistics of the Defense Department. There are not many local natives who have left. The second and even third generations of natives have basically taken root, and their families and businesses are in New Washington. They can't go if they want to. It makes me more worried. Is it still the elves? Didn’t you notice. From the day before yesterday, the elves in the city suddenly left in large numbers, and many shops opened by the elves were also sold at low prices. It seems that they have no plans to come back!"
"How long is the Peace Alliance Treaty between our Arbiter Academy and the Elves?"
"I remember that there are more than ten years left in the Hundred Years Alliance Treaty. The elves are a race that attaches great importance to promises and credit, so there is no need to worry about them breaching the contract."
"What about ten years later? What if the elves refuse to renew the contract?"
"Now I am not thinking about things that will happen in more than a decade, so don't let the topic go too far. Reads;! You guys should think about how to save the new Washington's fiscal revenue this year!"
"Enough!" There was a violent shout in the noisy hall, and the man sitting in the corner shot the case. Unlike other people who wear casual clothes, this man has a silver armor and a helmet on the table. His face is full of impatience and contempt, and his deep and deep voice echoes in the hall.
"You have been discussing demographics, finances, and elven contracts. I said, have you left the college for too long and have forgotten who we are?"
There was a commotion in the hall, and an older man stood up and said displeased: "Captain Harry, this is the city council today, and you are the leader of the Dragonhawk Knights. It stands to reason that the military department and this meeting are not It’s a matter of fact, if you didn’t say there was an important report, we didn’t plan to let you participate!"
The heavily armed man is Harry. He sneered: "Don't forget that we are colonists! We can plunder again if the population is gone, and we can rob it if we cannot make ends meet. As for the elves, huh, even if the weak and incompetent race really wants to go to war with us, what can we do? I'm so scared!"
"Harry, what do you mean by this, just say it if you have something, don't be cynic!"
Harry took a deep breath. Temporarily suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice: "So much was discussed in the meeting today. But you seem to have forgotten one very important thing! Lilith disappeared after that incident, and there is no news until now. Does anyone care?"
"Lilith, you also know the character of that woman, do whatever she thinks of, without any measure or rules, maybe she has found some fun opponent, and she has left New Washington first. Maybe after a while I'll be back by myself." The man who spoke earlier said perfunctorily.
A hideous look appeared on Harry's face, and he said angrily: "It seems that you don't know the importance of Lilith to the Arbiter Academy!"
"We naturally understand the importance of Lilith, Commander Harry, I can understand your feelings, but now it’s not just an era of colonization by war. Economics and commerce are also very important. Everything we do It is for the benefit of the Adjudicator Academy."
"Speaking of Chief Hari, you said that you have an important report today, does that mean this?"
Harry took a deep breath, shook his head slowly, and said, "The one who disappeared with Lilith that day~IndoMTL.com~There is also a student of Dawning Academy we invited."
The short man closest to Harry was almost asleep. After hearing Harry’s words, he immediately opened his eyes, twisted his hips, and adjusted his slightly bloated body to a more comfortable sitting posture. Said: "This matter belongs to my Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This student of Shuguang is called Xiao Lin. We were indeed invited to participate in the work of Professor Brown. After the Blood Moon incident that day, Head Harry and I were interrogated overnight and controlled by the undead. Students, but unfortunately did not get any information."
The man headed by the round table wears glasses and looks to be the host of this meeting. He frowned and asked: "Dawn Academy? That’s a bit troublesome. We also have an alliance treaty with Dawn Academy. Can’t So the relationship is tense. What grade is this student in Dawn Academy and what is his level of strength?"
The short man replied: "The freshmen who have just entered school, if they have not reached the level of black iron, they rely on the anti-gravity accessories and super potions we provide to work in New Washington."
The glasses man breathed a sigh of relief: "Freshman? That's nothing, can you hide the Shuguang Academy for the time being?"
The short man spread his hands: "This is what I am going to report today. I am afraid this is a bit tricky. There is also a minister of Dawn Academy who accompanied Xiao Lin, who sent the information to Dawn Academy, it’s impossible to hide it. Now the special investigation team dispatched by Dawn Academy is in my Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would like to ask the city hall, what should I do?” (to be continued) Ps: Book friends , I am the end of the cabbage, I recommend a free novel App that supports novel downloads, listening to books, zero advertisements, and multiple reading modes.
