Chapter 256 254: Hard Work (Subscription Request)

Seeing that Luo Yi looked strange, Otto couldn't help but ask, "Master, what happened again?"

Luo Yi shook his head: "It's not a big deal!
It was Archduchess Aphra who invited me to go to Auxerre to discuss the follow-up of this noble war.

Obviously, my mother no longer wants to let this war continue, and she wants to put all the problems on the negotiation table to solve them. "

Iron Knight Phil said something very philosophical: "Problems that cannot be solved on the battlefield cannot be solved at the negotiation table either!"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "No, this time, I will make my mother's wish come true.

This is not only because the Norman family made great efforts in this battle, but also because we also need some time to cultivate, settle down and develop. "

"I don't need the territory, but I will protect the wealth and materials twice as much."

"Besides, there are so many people coveting a flower territory, so how many people would fight for a complete marquis territory?"

"I'm afraid the House of Nobles will become lively again!"

Having said that, Luo Yi couldn't help rubbing his brows again and said, "Grand Knight Commander Thor, help me prepare the boat. I have to leave immediately and return to Brussels."

Grand Knight Thor asked, "Don't you need to take a day off?"

"I was born to work hard, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Having said this, he folded the letter and put it away, without letting anyone else see its contents.

……

Grand Knight Commander Thor was very efficient. After two or three hours, a boat stopped on the banks of the Ruhr River.

This is a passenger ship. It is not big, but it has everything. There are luxurious single rooms specially used for rest, and there are plenty of various foods and fruits.

Even the boatmen are eight experienced, young and strong laborers. They control the oars, which not only makes the boat fast but also very stable.

Obviously, this was not something that ordinary people could own. It had to be purchased by either wealthy merchants or nobles. But Luo Yi didn't have the heart to ask.

He led a group of people onto the boat and found a room to rest.

Then, listen to the boatmen's horns and feel the boat start slowly, accelerate continuously, go upstream, and shuttle across the Ruhr River.

Of course, the journey from Siren Port to Auxerre City is a standard counter-current boat trip. Even if the boatmen try their best, the speed is always slower.

It was in a guest room on the ship, when only Roy and Oliveira were there, that he finally took out the letter again and handed it over.

Oliveira took it, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, he gave a confused look.

Luo Yi said: "Take a look, and then you can say it!"

Oliveira didn't waste any words. He opened the letter and quickly scanned it.

At first, his eyes didn't change at all, and remained indifferent.

But in the end, it suddenly became as sharp as a knife!

Just because, at the end of the letter, there is such a sentence: "It has been confirmed that the Earth-based Oath Knight who once intercepted Oliveira, stayed in the Bonaparte Empire for several months, and finally went to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

He is a fourth-order natural disaster expert from the Iser family of the Sardinian Dynasty, and his real name is Ignaz Iser!"

"Kingdom of Sardinia, Iser Family?"

Oliveira couldn't help but stroke his hair. His originally jet-black hair had now turned into a mixture of black and white.

Although he didn't die in that battle, the lost life span could not be restored. Even a treasure like the 'Isis Wine Spring' could not make up for it.

At this moment, Oliveira looked at Luo Yi and asked, "Master, what are you going to do?"

Luo Yi did not answer, but asked back: "This time, I want to ask you what to do?"

"ask me?"

Oliveira's eyes were confused for a moment, and he said, "I'm just a guard?!"

"No, you are the most loyal warrior of the Lion Family and a teacher recognized by me, Luo Yi.

This revenge must be avenged, but I want to know how you plan to avenge it, teacher?"

The indifference in Oliveira's eyes faded, but in just a moment, it returned to firmness, coldness, and even indifference.

He said: "When we return to Brussels, please allow me to leave for a while. I have reached the peak of the third level and have refined my fighting spirit twice. It is time for me to try to break through to the fourth level.

When I succeed, I will go to the Kingdom of Sardinia!"

"Are you sure you can break through?"

Oliveira didn't rush to answer, but raised his hand and clenched his fist, and clenched it suddenly: "It must be!"

"That's fine. I'll accompany you then!"

Oliveira suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, I am alone..."

Luo Yi waved his hand: "I also want to go to the Kingdom of Sardinia to see what a country isolated overseas and ruled by a queen is like?"

"It is said that it is the busiest country in overseas trade. The number of ships there can stretch to the end of the horizon, and the ocean trade can reach the New World."

"I would like to see why an island kingdom dares to claim that the sun never sets."

Having said that, Roy looked at Oliveira again and said, "After we go back, I will ask Hoover to provide you with enough resources. If you need anything, just let me know.

I will also ask Douglas and Madam Linda for help to see if we can get some potions from the Habsburg Empire that will help us achieve a breakthrough."

Oliveira knew that Luo Yi had made up his mind, so he finally stopped talking and just said, "Okay!"

……

in the room,
Oliveira stood by the desk, not speaking anymore, as if he had disappeared.

Luo Yi was busy on his own. He really wanted to rest, throw himself on the bed and sleep soundly.

But it really doesn't work!

If he really returned to the Lion Manor in Brussels, there was no telling how many things would be waiting for him.

He had to take advantage of the free time now to outline what he needed to do, only in this way he wouldn't be in a rush.

However, when a piece of high-quality parchment was spread on the table and the quill pen was stained with a little ink, it stopped just as it was about to write.

Luo Yi couldn't help but wonder, what was his original ideal?

Safety comes first. After all, life is important. Making money is to ensure the needs of cultivation, and cultivation is also for safety, so there is no need to have too much money.

It is best to have many friends and few enemies, and live a leisurely life. Nothing else matters.

But now?

Busy as a dog!
Is this really the life he wants?

At this moment, Luo Yi fell into deep self-doubt, but when the drop of ink that had been accumulated for a long time fell from the tip of the quill pen and spread on the parchment, he came back to his senses.

He couldn't help shaking his head and threw all these trivial thoughts out of his mind.

We have come this far, there is always a way forward, no retreat, why think so much? !

Of course, he also has his own tricks for organizing thoughts!

"Deep Blue, Deep Blue, stop pretending to be dead!
Open the data analysis module and help me figure out what to do after returning to Lion Manor!"

"Prioritize them and arrange them in order!"

"The external environment will probably be stable for a while. I'm finally able to survive and develop."

As I was chanting this, a deep blue voice sounded in my heart: "Here it comes, here it comes, Master!
But where do you start? "

"Where to begin?"

Luo Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and various thoughts were boiling in his mind. He said: "Military merit! Let's start with military merit..."

"The war is over, and all the military merits I promised can be fulfilled. But this time, I want to change the way I fulfill them."

So, on the eyelid paper, beneath the ink spots, more and more smooth words appeared.

Military merit brings rewards, wealth, education for offspring, and a ladder for promotion...

Then there are companies, including railways, mining, Magic Energy Machinery Factory, and shares...

Then, Luo Yi extended new branches from these projects and wrote down many key points.

So, the sections became smaller and smaller, and the content became more and more, until the entire parchment scroll was densely packed with crisscrossing lines.

By nightfall, Luo Yi himself had become unable to understand this mind map clearly.

But his thinking became clearer and clearer, and he already had a complete process in his mind about what to do and how to do it!

So, he threw the mind map away without hesitation, threw himself directly onto the bed, twisted his body, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

When will this day end?
This was Luo Yi’s last thought, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

……

One day later.

In the afternoon, the ship finally entered the watershed of Brussels City. With the lion flag hoisted, it ignored the obstructions on both sides and continued to gallop forward.

It was not until they reached the pier closest to the Lion Manor that Roy got off the boat.

He looked up, but the scattered buildings blocked his view, so he could not see the Lion Manor.

However, from his perspective, he could already see a half-built tower rising from the ground.

Although it was almost evening, there were still many mages busy at work, and various materials that were cast with levitation magic flew into the air one by one.

Under the magician's command, they were placed, piled, compacted, and glued together and stabilized with magic...

Every time a rock is completed, magic patterns will light up, and layers of light will flicker, eventually matching the other rocks.

On the side, Otto said in surprise: "What, what is this?"

"Mage tower? The most suitable mechanical mage tower for magic mechanics! I asked the Habus Empire to help build it."

Iron Knight Phil was even more incredulous: "But isn't this speed too fast?

I have also seen the construction of Ms. Palacios's Mage Tower. It took a whole year, and it was constructed by a team of mages hired from the Bonaparte Empire."

Roy looked at the two of them and said, "This is why Count Carl and I are committed to promoting magic energy machinery.

You two, the Scourge is very strong, even the magic cannon can't hurt you.

But believe it or not, one day, the Habsburg Empire will create a weapon of mass destruction that will scare you all!"

“No, maybe we already have it, but we are still looking for methods and ways to mass produce it.”

"Only then will time let you know what true cruelty is!"

“So, we must keep up with the trend.”
