In order to facilitate the emperor's summons, the imperial cabinet was built next to the palace. This is a stone hexagonal four-story building with a complex magic array system inside. It is also connected to the palace magic array system through a large underground magic hub and belongs to the palace.

part of the defense function.

Luke arrived at the cabinet early in the morning, but the cabinet was holding a morning meeting. He was waiting in a lounge under the arrangement of the Secretariat. This time he was accompanied by Kylena and Yomington. Kylena brought a full

A briefcase full of documents.

Luke stood by the window, and outside was the palace.

To be precise, it is just a projection of the palace, similar to the map in the game. The static palace occupies a vast and majestic area. If you don't know the correct way to enter, you will not be able to break through the space wall and enter the real palace.

"Lord Governor!" Yomington came to Luke's side and whispered: "When we meet with Gabriel's chief assistant later, he may mention the Caltrop Armor Factory and the Crusader Project.

I hope you are prepared."

Although everyone knows what happened in the Caltrops Armor Factory, since it involves the Temple of the Abyss, there should be no more investigations. The Crusader Project was severely damaged, and many Crusaders and important researchers died.

A large amount of research materials were confiscated by Agent 6.

Three Crusader research prototypes were hijacked.

Luke took the opportunity to cause trouble this time, and the cross he made would be very painful. If he couldn't give Gabriel an explanation during this meeting, he probably wouldn't have discussed many things.

Luke admired the towering towers and air corridors in the palace, and replied to Yomington: "I will give an explanation to Mr. Gabriel, and I believe that there are far more areas for cooperation between us than conflicts.

How are the preparations for the Nutao City Investment Exhibition?"

Yomington replied: "It's going very smoothly! The list Mrs. Mihir gave me not only contains the latest research results of Raging Wave City, but also some advanced foreign technologies. There are many things in it that I have never heard of.

.

I have to admit that Shenglun City, which is located in the hinterland of the empire, is slower in responding to new technologies than Nutao City, which is in line with the world.

I have already distributed the exhibition list, and the cabinet also has very high expectations for this exhibition."

Luke said: "The specialty of Raging Wave City lies in the research and development of emerging technologies, such as steam, alchemy, machinery, biology, and civil industry. The specialty of St. Lun City lies in the development of traditional technologies, such as magic, alchemy, extraordinary cultivation, and military industry.

Therefore, this exhibition is not only an exhibition of new technologies in Nutao City, but also invites research institutes in Shenglun City to showcase their technologies. Investment promotion, cooperation, and integration are the goals of this exhibition."

Yomington replied: "Yes, Mr. Governor, I will arrange the exhibition properly..."

At this time, the receptionist from the Cabinet Secretariat came in: "Your Majesty, Acting Governor-General, the cabinet meeting is over in the morning, and Chief Aide Gabriel is waiting for you in his office.

plz follow me."

The office of the chief assistant is composed of two rooms, the inner and the outer. The outer room is the official place, with the chief assistant's desk, four confidential secretarial desks, file cabinets standing on the wall, and many clerk's desks. 24 hours a day, there are

There is a team of personnel who handle official business from all over the empire on a daily basis.

The inner room is a conference room with the most complete alchemy equipment to meet various functions required for meetings.

Luke, Kylena, and Yomington went through the security check and entered the chief assistant's office, and then directly entered the conference room.

Chief Aide Gabriel, several cabinet officials, and staff are already waiting here.

"Hello, Mr. Chief Assistant!" Luke shook hands with Gabriel: "This is our first meeting, please give us your advice."

Gabriel is an evergreen tree in the imperial court. He represents the interests of the new nobility and is an important minister that Augustine the Great relies on. Facing the meteor, he can feel a lot of pressure, because various signs indicate that this person is most likely to be

The successor to the chief minister of his own cabinet.

The Innovation Society from Raging Waves City has also shown its potential to keep pace with the Cross Society.

Competition! Cooperation!

It is the best way to resolve conflicts between the two parties.

But in the face of the aggressive Innovation Society, the Cross Society must also show its tough stance and strength.

Gabriel said to Luke with appreciation: "In this special period, the empire is lucky to have outstanding young people like you. When we retreat with our glory, you will continue to lead the empire on a new path.

journey.

This is the first time you and I have met, and I believe its importance will be recorded in the history of the empire.

Please sit down and let me see what you have brought for me."

Gabriel and Luke sat down on both sides of the conference table, then the officials and staff took their seats, and the secretaries set up their typewriters to prepare meeting minutes.

Luke took a document from Kylena and pushed it to Gabriel from the table: "Business in Raging City is very active now. The good investment environment has attracted us a large amount of foreign investment, as well as many domestic factories.

The Lord hopes to build a factory in Raging City to save production costs.

What troubles us is that Nutao City does not have enough land to meet the continued increase in investment, so we hope to include five to seven cities around Nutao City as urban expansion land.

This is the expansion plan of Nutao City. The first phase of the project includes 245 factories, 23 schools, and 20 large residential areas. Counting various ancillary facilities, it can provide 500,000 to 700,000 jobs..."

Gabriel did not read the plan in front of him, and the expression on his face was not the friendly one he had just met.

"Acting Governor, all of us know that Raging Waves City has reached the point where it has to be expanded, and we all hope that Raging Waves City can better play its role in the empire.

I also absolutely believe that according to your ability, this land is given to you, and you will definitely be able to create a new miracle of wealth.

But... some things are not as simple as idealism. People have selfish motives, and groups have collective interests. What you did at the Caltrop Armor Factory has deeply hurt the interests of the Cross Society.

Returning everything you took away from it is the prerequisite for us to continue talking."

Everything, naturally including the three sisters, the egret, the blue dove, and the gray goose.

Luke looked at Yomington beside him, and then said to Gabriel: "The Abyss Mage was found in the Caltrops Armor Factory. The evidence is irrefutable. As a senior official of the Imperial Secret Service, I took away some things.

It is my duty to investigate.

Mr. Chief Assistant, since you know that the expansion of Nutao City is a trend that everyone is pushing, you should not do anything to obstruct it. Many people are waiting for the land to be approved so that they can build factories and make money."

Gabriel said: "It concerns the prestige of the Cross Society, so please forgive me for not being able to make concessions in this regard. Moreover, the Crusader Project is related to the battle against the Tedga Hills. If the project cannot be resumed as soon as possible, you will have no way to deal with it."

Your Majesty will explain."

The Cross Society's house was raided this time, which really damaged its dignity. If the incident did not involve the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was in the limelight, the Cross Society would not be so silent.

This time, Raging Waves City has a request for help. If the Cross Society doesn't pursue the case, the people there will probably go to the Innovation Society.

Before Luke came, he knew that today's talks would not bypass the Caltrops Armor Factory.

You can return the information you took away, but the three sisters will never give it to you.

For this purpose, Luke carefully prepared something.

Kylena received the hint and took out a document from the briefcase and put it in Luke's hand.

Luke pushed in front of Gabriel again.

"The Crusader Project requires a lot of secret techniques, especially the branches involved in the secret technique of eternal life. I gave some of the information I took away to Miss Qingkong for review, and Miss Qingkong concluded that it was... rubbish!"

The Crusader Project consumes a lot of financial and material resources of the Crusaders to compete for extraordinary transformation warriors.

Although the current Crusaders cannot compete with the extraordinary transformation warriors, their mass production capabilities and combat effectiveness improvement stability are unmatched by the extraordinary transformation warriors.

This time the imperial military placed an order for a thousand Crusaders, which has shown the broad financial prospects of this project.

Moreover, the Crusaders also have good room for advancement and development, and are given high hopes by the Crusaders.

If anyone dares to say that the Crusader Project is rubbish, the Crusaders here will definitely slap him in the face.

But this time it was Miss Qingkong who said it.

She rebuilt the Secret Arts Branch of Oulu Academy and killed three Apostles of the Abyss in a confrontation with the Secret Arts of the Abyss Temple. She mastered the Book of Disaster, but was not affected by the Book of Disaster.

In the field of occult arts, Miss Qingkong said rubbish...it was rubbish.

Gabriel finally picked up the document in front of him.

As he watched, Luke gave a brief introduction to others: "Currently, the Crusaders developed by the Crusader Project must be equipped with armor to enable battlefield awareness, and the armor must be stored separately when not being worn.

This not only increases transportation and maintenance costs, but also the time wasted in armor penetration may be fatal when responding to emergency battles.

Miss Qingkong believes that the secret technique can solve the problem of wearing armor of the Crusaders. A set of secret techniques and a few mysterious props can complete the dressing of the armor at any time..."

Gabriel listened to Luke's introduction and looked at Miss Clear Sky's views on the Crusader Project in the document.

Convenient armor wearing is just one of the many shortcomings that Clear Sky pointed out. In Clear Sky's eyes, the Crusader project from beginning to end is an area that can be improved.

The Crusader Project was born out of the Secret Art of Eternal Life, and the secret art research and development capabilities possessed by the Crusaders are not enough to perfectly reproduce the Pretty Girl Killer, so they can only try their best to use mature technologies such as alchemy and extraordinary transformation to replace it.

If Miss Clear Sky could be invited to join the research and development of the Crusader Project...

Gabriel was excited by his sudden idea.

"I wonder if we can be lucky enough to invite Miss Clear Sky to join the Crusader Project?"

"Of course!" Luke said: "Miss Qingkong also hopes to integrate the secret knowledge she has learned into other systems. The Crusader Project is a good cooperation project."

Gabriel and the other officials were delighted.

The addition of Miss Qingkong, an authority on occult arts, is equivalent to putting the Crusader project on the right track. Compared with the value of Miss Qingkong, the lost data and prototypes are not worth mentioning, and the prototypes are all in Qingkong.

Maybe Miss Qingkong can develop the secret of eternal life in the process of developing the Crusader Project.

This is more valuable than the Crusaders.

The only thing that needs to be worried about now is...the Reform Society will take this opportunity to expand and infiltrate the Cross Society.

But the Reform Society also belongs to the new aristocratic system and makes money!
