High Above Chapter 894

  Chapter 894 People who know the Prophet best (7200)

  Terra 775, May 25th, Nanling Chongling Sect 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, as well as the studios of the city hall. One terminal base station after another is distributed along the mountain road, ensuring 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 'groundbreaking ceremony', but obviously, this groundbreaking ceremony is just a pretext. What people really want to see is the strength of Ian Yinfeng himself, and what is the strength of his prophet? What kind of potential is it worth their investment.

On May 28th, as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Truth of the Empire, Im Dale Zayev arrived in Xiahui Territory in person, and had a good talk with Earl Yinfeng, the most cautious group of people knew the attitude of the Empire—foreign countries One may not care what the defenders think, but they, the people of the empire, still remember the two attacks that Axel launched against the elder brother of Earl Silver Peak.

  Although in the follow-up, the reason why Earl Yinfeng became an earl is due to the compensation from the empire, 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 damned 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 is a brand new technology , 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". Proof that he must be a nobleman.

   (Damn it, the soul of the Ten Kings Blood is really wrong, 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 Flame Lord 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 conduct 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.

   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 Terra sublimation group: children in the genetic sense are not considered as their own heirs at all. Only those who have the sublimated structure and sublimated blood can be regarded as true descendants.

  Because of the special bloodlines, the inheritance of the kings of Feiyan Land does not hinder fertility, but the price is that bloodline inheritance is also more difficult.

The kings have always been inhumane in this regard: 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 it is absolutely unreasonable for them to use their descendants as experiments. Hands are soft, only the best batch 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 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 perform 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 enjoyment.

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 most difficult and self-disciplined can transcend this physical talent and transform it into a more sensitive to the world. Sensational or even hypersensitivity.

   But obviously, this illegitimate scholar named Andruida Aoba did not have such perseverance.

  Ace first used the prosthetic body to disguise himself as an elf prostitute, and then approached the other party 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.

  All 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 bloodline']

  The elegant man sat on the throne, overlooking the pale figure curled up on the carpet, he said lightly: [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 the more distorted and terrifying power is imprinted on it. in blood.

  The big devil... refers to the 'title devil' 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.

  The Xiahui Territory in Nanling 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 so far】

  【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.

   "Sorry, I haven't been sleeping well recently."

  Ace said with a smile using the appearance of "Andruida Aoba". He slightly used his psionic ability "charm": "Where are we now? Can we still catch up with the foundation stone laying ceremony?"

   "Still on the Golden Plains."

Although this imperial nobleman also has the strength of the second energy level, under the charm of the devil, he subconsciously developed a good impression, and replied smoothly: "But soon, the foundation stone laying ceremony will be held in the afternoon. The Harvest Ceremony we received...we can't catch up with the 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 a little spare money at home.

   "Are you also interested in Chongling Sect?" Ace noticed the family coat of arms of this noble... He is the 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 illegitimate 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 Rimore became angry, and he sneered angrily: "If it wasn't for our wise and wise prophet who snatched all the military ration orders, I would How can I have time to go to this place of exile that doesn't shit?"

  Under the induction of the charm power, he began to talk eloquently.

  It turned out that the Rimore family was indeed a martial noble, but after conquering the aborigines in the western region, these iron-blooded knights degenerated from generation to generation, and became 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. With the family's relationship back then, Viscount Rimore made a lot of money in this regard. Boman, 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 a big victory, flattening the group of soft-footed Absalom in one breath, but judging from the current situation, at least he is still Can earn another four or five years.

   But who knows, some time ago, a sudden army emerged.

   That is the military food of Yinfengling.

  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 in every meal.

  But for the 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 is not 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 Ian.

With the blessing of the new agricultural system based on the agricultural building, Ian quickly opened a large number of sugar workshops and oil extraction workshops, and the various "sugar drinks" that followed were tested by Xiahui Ling. 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 currently only sold around the Nanling Agate Stone Plain, the popularity of these four drinks is beyond everyone's imagination. In recent years, the Agate Stone Plain has planted a large amount of corn as a raw material for syrup, so Yinfeng led the price down. Very low, about two pfennigs can buy a bottle.

   According to the guarantee of 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 Ian would take advantage of the trend to develop other drinks, when he was a drink earl.

  He has opened a series of brand new food workshops, aiming to create compressed spare 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 all food 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, not to mention the extremely rich combination of various canned foods, which can definitely provide food for everyone who has a fear of food shortage. people bring the gospel.

  Of course, compared to the beverage series, Yinfengling's spare food and various cans are relatively expensive. The only cheaper ones are the various salted fish cans and fish mud 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 he gritted his teeth—because with the launch of the Yinfengling army ration series, they, the nobles of the western plains, completely lost the right to directly supply military rations, and became the material suppliers of Yinfengling's food processing factory.

  A 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, 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. After tasting the samples, the actual commander of the Western Legion It didn't take long for the corresponding order to be 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, even because of related cooperation reasons, he has to go to other people's territories to negotiate related contracts with others. It's no wonder that Viscount Rimore has such a temper.

   Ace expressed deep sympathy for this.

Unexpectedly, not only Feiyan's headache, but even the imperial people themselves also have a headache for this prophet... No wonder there are so many imperial nobles in Nanling who are willing to secretly cooperate with Feiyan, they must be because of the actions of the Earl of Silver Peak And can't make money, so the evil is born from the guts.

   But for some reason, Ace felt like sighing a little.

  Although he is an enemy, seriously, every move of Earl Silver Peak has brought benefits to the empire.

  Whether it's new agricultural reforms, 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 improvements in combat effectiveness.

   Among other things, Ace is sure that although the Earl of Silver Peak has never been to the Western Front, the soldiers there definitely know the name of Ian Silver Peak.

  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 Yinfeng's strength is weak. If he has the fourth energy level, how can anyone dare to fight against him?" Muttering to him behind his back."

   "So am I. If I don't become a big demon, I will never have a bright future... So I'm sorry, Prophet, this is my task."

   "Damn it, the food provided on this empty boat is actually produced by Yinfeng!"

   And just as 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 butter bread. Steaming beef curry burritos, a can of 'braised chicken thigh', a cup of canned sweet peaches, 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 with condensed milk is extremely sweet, and the taste is very 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 a large burrito at the bottom. One serving is enough for an average soldier's meal.

On the other side, the braised chicken leg, 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 is popular in Yanjiang. There have been similar ones in the cold area, but the Xiahui collar...is 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 little stimulating...but it activates the sense of taste...The elves' 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?"

   "Earl Yinfeng, unexpectedly achieved such a great result without making a sound?!"

   "Boring stuff."

But the Viscount Limore on the other side dropped the tableware with a look of boredom: "The bread is mediocre, the quality of the beef is low, this braised chicken leg has a strange smell, what spices are used? Could it be to cover up the dead chicken?" taste?"

   "And 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 noble with a strange expression on his face.

  He couldn't help feeling a little absurd: "This guy, does he really know what he is evaluating? With the conditions of a nobleman, any food can pick thorns."

   "But according to our information in Flameland, Ian 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 biological weapon attack of our Flying Land, and can also prevent the infection of the epidemic virus. Various high-heat processing is enough to kill the hidden corrosive bacteria... Our Flying Land is about to break through the Xiahui Territory. The food safety defense line wants to break the head, if these things are popularized in the future, the threat of biological weapons will be reduced by more than half - but the imperial nobles think that these foods are not good enough?"

Even in Flying Flame Land, the food problem has not been completely solved. The kings have no intention of controlling the population. The population continues to increase, but the cultivated land has not expanded. Flying Flame Land is locked in the quiet sea area formed by the Absalom Mountains. In the encirclement, they must wage war to have a chance to breathe.

In order to compete for more land and consume more "unneeded population", Flameland has been warlike since ancient times. This is the result of geographical conditions. If possible, Flameland I also want peace, but unfortunately everything is fate.

However, 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 is imminent. So what if it was really reproduced? That is something that only the next generation can enjoy.

"Ian Silver Peak... If in a more peaceful age, he might become a sage-like figure. He will eradicate famine and change society. He will distribute his wealth to everyone, so that common people can drink the exclusive drink of nobles. Honey sweet water, so that everyone can have a delicious full meal."

  Ace suddenly wanted to laugh: "Perhaps, 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 beware of 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 imperial nobles..." he sighed in his heart.

Because of the charm power, Viscount Rimore is still trying to talk to this charming elf scholar. Although the other party is male, not to mention that elves are mostly neutral in appearance, even if they are really male, for the nobles of the empire It's nothing to say.

   It's just that Ace is no longer interested in communicating with this arrogant and boring imperial nobleman. He turned his head sideways and looked at the direction of Xiahui collar in the distance through the window.

   That's where his target is.

   "It's time to contact Rongying for the next step."

   he thought to himself.

  Even if the opponent is a sage who is enough to change the world, they will not have any mercy.

  Although it is sad, there is no way.

  This world has been divided into the two simplest and most direct camps from the very beginning.

   'you' and 'us'.

  Maybe an insignificant "they" is added, but that's just "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 truly important envoys and big shots have already arrived. They, the group of 'latecomers', were originally 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 by Ace...manipulated.

  Then...then continue to drive in the direction of Xiahui City!
