Magic Industrial Age

Inside the study, in the seating area, the light from the magic crystal lamp bathed the entire room in a warm yellow hue.

Reagan Lightning slightly raised his head, looking at the man so close to him, trying his best to suppress his emotions, but still feeling a bit nervous.

This man was young, handsome, with deep eyes and elegant manners, but most prominent was the majesty and confidence accumulated from being in a high position.

It was as if nothing in this world could stop him!

Looking at this face, Reagan was actually a little dazed.

He considered himself an open-minded person, and even though he only had one daughter, he was willing to let her live according to her own wishes.

Therefore, despite the opposition from the entire family, he supported Lilya's study abroad in the Habsburg Empire.

He even personally arranged for her to attend Ferrant Magic Academy.

But what happened later was a bit outrageous!

He knew that his daughter had a boyfriend, who was not only her student but also a bastard.

Under such circumstances, he certainly didn't approve, but before he could object, he was poisoned and on the verge of death.

Then, when Lilya returned, she was surrounded by a group of people with considerable strength, and she also brought the legendary magic potion, the Tears of the Holy Angel.

Not only did it save his life, but it also helped him to ferret out the hidden scum in the family, allowing him to regain control of the family's power.

At this time, he learned that his daughter's little boyfriend, although a bastard, seemed to be a good hand at doing business and very rich!

For a period of time, he actually had a thought.

If this little guy could pass his test, it wouldn't be impossible to have him marry into the family.

Anyway, the family business would eventually be given to Lilya, and it would naturally be better to have a capable man to help.

Therefore, it was futile to say too much now, and it was better to wait and see.

If it really lasted, it wouldn't be too late to talk about testing and marrying into the family.

But the subsequent development made him feel a little magical!

What about the Raymond family encountering a great disaster, the direct bloodline being cut off, and the bastard being taken back to be the head of the family and inheriting the title of Earl?!

What about the noble war, winning it, and becoming the current King of the Lion?!

What about defeating the three great pirate kings of the Silver Sea and even snatching that magic warship?!

What about implementing reforms in the Flower Collar, with many people thinking that this young man was just messing around, but the growing strength of the Flower Collar was obvious to all?!

And that's not even counting the Loifitz Magitech Group he created in the Habsburg Empire.

Those of them in business had more informed news from each other and were even clearer about how huge that group company was!

Reagan had been paying attention to all of this, and then he watched this bastard step by step to a position he couldn't reach.

At this time, the idea of marrying into the family was gone, and he even began to worry about his daughter.

His daughter was certainly very excellent, but facing this man who seemed to have a cheat, she no longer had an advantage.

It was also at this time that his daughter sent back a letter with a lot of content, but the core idea was that Loifitz wanted to marry her, so he was invited to discuss the wedding matters.

Reagan had read this letter back and forth for a long time, and he had looked at it for a long time. He recognized every word on it, but when they were connected together, he always felt a little insecure.

His first reaction was not happiness, but worry!

He worried about whether his daughter could adapt to the identity of Countess, worried that the difference in status would make outsiders look down on her, worried about whether the news was true or false, worried about whether nobles marrying the daughters of merchants would be criticized…

He worried about too many things, so much so that when he came back to his senses, he even felt that he should stop the marriage.

If the families are not well-matched, it is difficult to say whether they will be happy in the future!

So, he came!

Preparing as much dowry as possible to support his daughter.

Finding enough connections, spending a lot of money, and hiring two Tier 3 Transcendentals to accompany him, just so he wouldn't be looked down upon!

But when he really came and saw it, he realized how ridiculous his preparations were!

Compared to an earldom, the wealth he brought was nothing.

Compared to the strength of the Raymond family, the two Transcendentals didn't even dare to say a word.

This was a comprehensive disadvantage, a comprehensive crushing, but Reagan still mustered his last courage when he was alone and asked what was on his mind.

"Earl, are you serious about this wedding?"

Hearing this, Loifitz sat up straight. He looked at Reagan, the father who deeply loved his daughter, and said very seriously, "I will not marry anyone but her!"

After a pause, Loifitz added, "Mr. Reagan, your daughter is very excellent, very, very excellent.

She is actually burying her talent in the Flower Collar. If she were in the Habsburg Empire, she could have greater achievements."

"Her teacher, His Excellency Saint Bartholomew, comes from the imperial family of the Empire, a powerful mechanical mage, who personally teaches her knowledge related to magic."

"She has also helped me a lot. Most of the processing magic machinery in the Flower Collar is her hard work and work.

She is the good girl I desire, so I will definitely marry her!"

Reagan was a little embarrassed for his daughter because of the compliment.

But he still asked, "Then you really don't care about the difference in status at all?"

"The difference in status?"

"The difference between a merchant's daughter and a bastard?"

Loifitz curled his lips and mocked mercilessly, "When I first came, those nobles dared to call me a bastard in front of me.

But what about now?

Even behind their backs, they dare not say that anymore!"

"Prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain, but as long as I am strong enough to beat them so that they dare not look up in front of me, there will be no so-called difference in status!"

"Uncle, I have never been a traditional nobleman, and I don't want the other half in marriage to be an emotionless marriage partner.

I sincerely love Miss Lilya, whether in poverty or wealth, whether in health or sickness, I am willing to grow old with her!"

Reagan Lightning looked at Loifitz and saw sincerity through those deep eyes.

He finally sighed a long time and said, "I only hope that Your Excellency Earl can remember what you said!"

"Of course!"

Loifitz nodded, feeling relieved in his heart. Even when facing His Royal Highness Grand Duke Carlisle, he was not so nervous.

However, now that the other party had let go, it was time to move on to the next step.

The latest and most complete novels are at Six 9 Books Bar!

So, changing the topic, Loifitz said, "Since you also agree, let's discuss the wedding date.

Uncle, what do you think of April?"

He quickly explained, "Actually, it's not that I don't want it to be earlier.

It's just that in the first and second months of the new year, Raymond Magitech Group has to pay dividends, and there are still many things to implement, so I'm afraid I'm too busy.

Moreover, what I want to give Lilya is the best, so the preparation time must be longer, and I have to invite many nobles to attend the ceremony, and I have to leave enough time.

So…"

Reagan Lightning was stunned as he listened. He quickly interrupted, "No, you're going to set the wedding date now? I just arrived today?"

"Haha, I'm a little anxious. Then you can take a look again and see when it's appropriate?"

Outside the door.

Lilya had been standing there for a while, and she was still holding tea and snacks in her hand, but she had no intention of pushing the door in.

It wasn't until the conversation inside was almost over that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside her, her good bestie, Mira Greenman, stretched out her finger and poked her, silently saying something with her mouth.

Lilya was so ashamed that her face turned red!

…

In fact, with Loifitz's current status, it wasn't impossible to maintain a relatively strong posture!

But this was Lilya's father, his father-in-law, and they would become a family in the future.

Even if it was just for family harmony, he had to lower his posture and say good things.

Lilya may not be a traditional noble lady or a gentle and refined lady, but she was a woman who moved Loifitz and was his best helper.

Therefore, it was right to spend some thought.

In the following days, Loifitz asked Lilya to accompany his father to stroll around and visit.

The area that Reagan Lightning liked to stay in the most was not a scenic spot, but the industrial area outside the city of Brussels.

In front of the magic steelmaking furnace, he watched a furnace of red-hot molten iron pour out, and it became different shapes in a fixed mold.

He had to admit that he was stunned when those high-quality iron ingots appeared.

He also lingered in the spinning mill, listening to the roar of the machinery, watching countless female workers busying in front of spinning machines, and seeing those textiles freshly baked.

The efficiency was so fast that he couldn't take his eyes off it!

He also saw rows of neat machine tools in the processing workshop, and everyone was there, concentrating on operating them.

Before long, various parts appeared in their hands, and some were even giant weapons required by the sea clan.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Reagan wouldn't even have believed it was real.

And finally, along the railroad tracks, watching the 'woo woo woo woo' locomotive, pulling more than a dozen cars of iron ore, quickly approaching.

He couldn't even imagine how many pack horses it would take to pull such a heavy carriage if horses were used?

The shock brought by the Flower Collar directly broke through his original worldview.

He had also seen the scene of the knight machine gun team training in the barracks. The Maxim machine gun was held in his arms and became a portable submachine gun.

A burst of fire, and they were riddled with bloody holes!

Reagan was just a businessman, unfamiliar with fighting and killing. But even so, he could feel the horror and dread brought about by the Maxim magic-powered heavy machine gun.

Before, he only knew the power of magic-powered machinery. The Hapsburg Empire was promoting it with all its might, even at the cost of antagonizing all nations.

But now, he suddenly had a feeling that this was truly a power and an era capable of changing the world.

At this moment, his strongest desire was to bring magic-powered machinery back to the Tudor Dynasty, back to his home!
