19 Lombard Street, nd floor.

In the living room,
Roy had just pushed the snacks and tea next to Miller when he was shocked by Miller's words.

He did not speak immediately, but remained silent for a moment before saying, "So, are you really prepared to be drawn into the vortex of the empire's core circle?"

Miller was very happy, really very happy, because Roy's first reaction was not anything else but concern for his safety.

The core circle of the empire naturally represents great power, even the reputation of the Habsburg Empire in the Old World.

That power almost reached its peak, causing countless people to rush into it.

But at the same time, the danger is far beyond this small city. Once Miller steps in, it is hard to say whether he can escape.

Miller did not reply immediately, but held the cup, sipped the tea, and then said: “I know, I know, but that’s because I know.

So, I have to go!"

“This is my own choice, so I must move forward courageously.

Moreover, the win-win model can cause a stir.

Although it certainly touches upon the interests of some people, it also represents enough excitement to make people feel excited. "

Having said that, Miller raised his head, looked at Roy, and said, "Here, I have to apologize to you!
After all, this was your idea, and your idea became my stepping stone to advancement. I owe you that."

Luo Yi waved his hand, not caring at all: "We are friends, it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

“Also, you should be able to tell that I pursue the path of legend and also enjoy the joy of making money.

But you want me to participate in politics, to fight with those old foxes, to deal with complicated affairs and interpersonal relationships that make my scalp numb,

Just thinking about it makes me despair!"

Miller couldn't help laughing when listening to Luo Yi's vivid description, but the next second, he said seriously: "Luo Yi, my friend, I need your help.

When I get to the capital, can I write to you?"

"Compared to me, you understand the win-win model you proposed better. I can deal with those old foxes myself.

But, I would like to have your wisdom on this matter.”

"Write a letter?" Luo Yi frowned:
"is it not OK?"

"Isn't the mail a little slow? By the time the letter arrives, the daylily will be cold, right?"

"Don't worry about that. There is a small communication magic circle in the Executive Office. Although it doesn't support instant messaging, it can still send messages."

A long time ago, Luo Yi had been troubled. It seemed that things like radar, radio, and telephones had never appeared in this world.

This makes it seem like a big part of communication is missing.

But after understanding it, he realized that it was not missing, but replaced by magic.

After so many years of development, magic has actually reached a certain level. Although magical machinery has certain similarities with the Industrial Revolution that Loy knows about.

However, it is not the same development trajectory.

So, magic fills a big part of it, especially the part about communications.

Like a fixed type of communication magic circle, it is spread across almost all cities in the empire, and there is only one of them.

The one in the Government Affairs Hall is connected to the magic network of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.

For example, the "Imperial Evidence" is published simultaneously because it also has its own teleportation magic circle.

After hearing what he said, Luo Yi agreed without hesitation. He really didn't care about having to do anything physical.

But Baron Miller was very happy!
He even stood up and hugged Roy to thank him for his help, and he would also give back the friendship of the Petrovic family.

Don’t think this is nothing, like a golden ticket, but in fact, the value of this sentence is far greater than that.

Luo Yi was actually very happy, because he felt like he was giving a boost to the trend of the times.

After sitting for a while, Miller chatted with Luo Yi about the various arrangements he had made after entering the imperial capital, and then chose to say goodbye.

Luo Yi sent him to the door, and the two hugged each other again at the door, saying goodbye with a smile. I don't know how many people saw it.

There is no doubt that this point has further consolidated Roy's position in Oakland City.

Nowadays, I'm afraid no one is willing to mess with him.

With strength and power, we can truly live in peace.

Miller left, in fact he left on the same day, the rumble of his carriage passed out of the city and headed towards the imperial capital.

This journey is dangerous, but it also holds great opportunities.

Who knows, it might soar into the sky!
However, Luo Yi didn't have to worry about it for long, because Shenlan, who had been silent for a long time, actually gave him a hint.

Two of them in a row, which can be regarded as major good news.

……

18 Lombard Street, inside the meditation room.

Luo Yi took out a green meditation secret medicine and lit it with an open flame. A faint smoke floated up and filled his nose. Then, Luo Yi sat cross-legged, sniffing the slightly cool aroma, and felt his mind become clearer and all distracting thoughts disappeared.

Then, he began to draw the magic patterns of basic meditation, and his speed was no longer as fast as before.

Then, in the void, golden lights flashed, drawing intricate patterns, and finally outlining a hexagram formation.

Thus, a drop of liquid fell into the dark void, and the ripples it created seemed to reach the end of the world.

Luo Yi experienced this feeling and tried it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time...

It was not until the fifth time that Luo Yi finally fell from that state and suddenly opened his eyes.

At this time, Luo Yi was no longer the rookie he used to be, and his basic meditation was almost reaching level 3.

Whether it is the efficiency of meditation, the speed of accumulating magic power, or even the time to enter the state, they are all far better than before.

The most important thing is that he can now enter a meditative state without relying on secret medicine, which is a big step forward.

However, if you say that the secret medicine has no effect at this time, that is not true!

Secret medicine is secret medicine. After using it, it will be easier to enter a state of deep meditation. The effect of meditation is not one plus one equals two, but far greater than two.

For this reason, Luo Yi almost never stopped using it, and the speed at which his magic power accumulated was getting faster and faster.

He has an ambition that one day he might be able to break through the shackles of a wizard's apprentice and build his own magic space.

That's right, even in his dreams, he only dared to become a formal mage, which is the second level.

I dare not compare myself with others anymore!
From this, it is not difficult to see how poor Luo Yi's mage qualifications are.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Deep Blue finally found a substitute for ambergris.

In fact, after preparing the secret meditation medicine, Luo Yi was very satisfied. The so-called search for a substitute was just an idea and he didn't care much about it.

But for Shenlan, a mission is a mission. Luo Yi doesn't care, but he will carry it out to the letter.

Every day, at his request, Luo Yi would spend about half an hour trying various combinations.

For such a long time, Luo Yi had given up hope, but the results just popped up.

Ambergris is precious, but foxtail grass is really everywhere.

In fact, this thing is not even a medicine material, it is just the most common weed.

But even this dogtail grass, after removing the seeds and roots, only the middle part is left. After accumulating to a certain amount, the juice can be directly squeezed out.

Remember, do not heat it, do not boil it, and do not crush it, otherwise it will not have any effect.

Only the squeezed juice can replace ambergris to make this green meditation potion.

As for the effect, it is still a little bit lacking. It cannot reach the point where the soul is the same and spotless.

However, it can also calm the soul and clear away distracting thoughts, thereby better entering a meditative state.

Therefore, Luo Yi called it the soul-fixing spice.

If Luo Yi were to evaluate it, it has about 70% of the efficacy of the soothing spice, but in terms of cost, it can be reduced to one twentieth.

At this price, most working-class people can afford it. Most importantly, the raw materials are easy to find and can be mass-produced.

However, looking at the green spice in his hand, Luo Yi showed hesitation on his face.

Because he knows the function of this thing better than anyone else.

If the Habsburg Empire had this and promoted it on a large scale, it would be able to train a large number of magic apprentices in the shortest possible time.

By that time, maybe anyone will be able to carry a magic firearm and use it.

Then, everyone becomes a soldier.

At this point, the military strength of the Habsburg Empire will have an extremely exaggerated increase. Then there will be the development of magic energy machinery, the dumping of goods, the increase in tariffs, and constant friction...

Finally, when benefits are unevenly distributed, the problem will only be solved in the most direct way.

war!

A war that affects the Old World!

In the secret room, Luo Yi shuddered and immediately decided that it would be better not to release the soul-fixing spice to the world.

Put it away, put it away.

There are many ways to make money, there is no need to choose such a dangerous one.

After calming himself down, Luo Yi immediately said, "Deep Blue, didn't you say there was some good news?"

Deep Blue replied: "The iteration of Shentan has made progress!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Luo Yi's eyes immediately lit up:
　Second update, here it is!
