After being forced to step down, the once-annoying nun eloped with me.

It's just that she's been guarding against Ysgard's enemies for so long that she's almost at her breaking point.

Chapter Six: [The Commercial Value of Golems and the Awakening of the Demon Mother Nest] - 8K

To be honest, this isn't the first time Fen has come home.

In fact, during the two months she was away on business in Isgard, she would come back almost every few days.

Perhaps they'll send back local specialty snacks, or perhaps they'll have the elven mages bring back some heavy Ysgard technological products, or maybe they'll send back book after book about Ysgard's industrial technology.

In short, Finn felt as if she was no longer an empress.

It's more like being a hardworking porter—and every time this porter comes back, he has to endure the sarcasm and ridicule from his family. Who could stand that?

Yes, just like now—

“Fen, tell me again about that time when Yang Hao and the others laid the documents flat on your chest.”

"Theresa, if you keep joking about my breasts, I might actually do it!"

"Ahem, haha...sorry. But then again, don't go back so soon this time, okay? After all, little Anna still wants to hear your stories."

"Humph!"

Finn angrily threw the bag she was holding onto Theresa's table, then sat down next to Theresa, looking genuinely upset.

The young nun chuckled as she opened the bag. She first took out the breakfast box on top, and then took out the other documents that were pressed down by the breakfast box.

This time, Finn didn't bring anyone else's portion. Partly because, apart from Theresa, no one seemed to really like the oily food in Ysgard; and partly because they really didn't want to make the already overworked elves even more tired.

Therefore, in summary, if Finn returned in the morning, she would inform Theresa in advance and then bring her copy over—but the important thing was still the report that would be sent regularly every day.

A report on the expedition to Issugard.

It was written by Yang Hao and Elena together. It was very valuable for Theresa. And ultimately, the products of Ysgard did indeed bring about many changes to the United Nations.

"Um..."

Theresa ate her pizza and hot dog buns from her breakfast box while flipping through the documents. Her brow furrowed as she read, but eventually relaxed.

"While I can understand Yang Hao's thinking... but really, is it too much to ask our people to conduct a comprehensive study of Ysgard's technology at a time like this?"

The little nun muttered to herself, handed the document to Finn for a quick look, and then shrugged at the elf:

"Fen, do you share this view of Ysgard?"

"You're asking me? I can only say that apart from industry and manpower, there's nothing in Isgard that would surprise us elves or make us feel compelled to learn."

"In other words, their industry and manpower are worth learning from, right? I know their industrial model is different from ours... but instead of having our already small population bear the burden of two industrial models, why don't we turn the tables and make Isgard our ally?"

"That depends on whether the other party is willing to join. Believe me, if Yang Hao were to make this suggestion now, he would be captured by the vampires and the black dragon and locked in a dark room the very next day, disappearing without a trace?"

"That's true..."

The two whispered something to each other, and then Theresa sighed heavily and said that just studying the civilian products of Ysgard was already enough to give the United Nations a headache.

On the one hand, although the United Kingdom has the technologically advanced Edenians as its backing, the problem is that the technology of the Edenians and the technology of Ysgard are completely different.

The Edenites are accustomed to using magic and artificial magic to solve all their needs. Naturally, their magical techniques are based on a large number of magic circles, which is very different from everything else in the world.

The simplest example is that, although both are products called "steamers," the steamers of the Isgard people are just ordinary steamers, at most using a steam engine, but at least in terms of structure, they are something that normal humans can understand and imitate.

The Edenians' steamers were filled with magic circles—some to increase the heat of the air, some to create steam out of thin air, and some to ensure the inner containers wouldn't break...

In short, apart from rare magical materials, the core of Edenian technology lies in magical arrays, magical patterns, and magical structures produced based on artificial magic.

This also applies to the magical doll bodies of the Edenians. Although they outwardly resemble humans, once you delve deeper, they are nothing like humans at all...

To put it simply, the ovens of the Isgardians can be copied, but those of the Edenians cannot.

The problem is, the United Nations is now highly dependent on magical technology.

Regardless of what the Bayerzens are currently studying, the magic and enchanting magic that the elves are researching are at least thoroughly preparing them for the magical age...

What's worse is that this situation is almost irreversible. If Yang Hao wants the United Nations to also possess physical industrial technology, he either has to abandon two research lines simultaneously, which are already overburdened, and one of those lines has to be completely created from scratch.

Alternatively, we could cripple the magic technology now, forcing everyone to focus all their energy on the physical technology tree.

But is that even possible?

Theresa wasn't that stupid... and naturally, she believed Yang Hao wasn't that foolish either. Of course, she also understood Yang Hao's yearning for and wariness of new technology, so she knew the importance of researching her allies' technology...

But the problem is—

"What level of research are you asking us to achieve when you say 'technological reserves'?"

The little nun stuffed another slice of pizza into her mouth, then munched away, chewing on the delicious food.

Finn stared intently at the fine crumbs of food that had settled on the chest of Teresa's nun's habit.

She couldn't understand why there was such a huge difference between people, and she couldn't understand why such a magnanimous person could actually catch food if it fell into their hands.

She was stunned for a long time before shaking her head and saying: "At least it's to the point where we can use magical technology to copy or imitate it."

"It would be more practical to find a way to make Isugard our vassal or tributary state."

The nun gave her conclusion without hesitation, and then asked the elf to tell the man who didn't understand the hardships at home when he went back that if he dared to be willful again, he could sleep on the sofa when he came home.

The elf was taken aback, then sighed with a strange expression, but offered no further warning.

...about half an hour later.

Finn accompanied the busy Teresa to finish breakfast. Before leaving, she said she would take Naruja, who had nothing to do, with her so she could help protect Yang Hao's safety.

“Safety? No, it’s not there—ah…I understand. Safety of chastity, I understand. Then let’s take her there. Anyway, Naruja hasn’t had much to do since Yang Hao left, either sunbathing in the garden or playing with little Anna all the time…it’s good to take her there.”

"Why do I get the feeling that you treat her like a pet, Teresa?"

"What can I do? Look at how Naruja behaves in front of Yang Hao. If you cast a cat-turning spell on her, would you recognize her as Naruja?"

"...Perhaps she'll recognize him. But since you agree, I'll go and tell Naruja, okay?"

"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember to tell her to bring Golem along too."

The two empresses did not communicate much regarding Naruja's affairs.

Finn easily gained the power to take Naruja away, while Teresa once again became engrossed in her work after Finn left.

Lalumia then took advantage of the moment Finn left to arrive here.

She looked tenderly at her hardworking daughter, walked behind her, reached out and ruffled Theresa's hair, and said:

"Doesn't Theresa want to go and see her? After all, it's been two months since they last met."

When touched by the deity, Theresa simply rolled her eyes:

“There’s no need to go. I know he’s thinking of me, so I don’t want to bother him. He’ll come back on his own when he wants to.”

"Hehe, what a mature adult you are."

"Then don't touch my hair! It's such a mess, what if the maids see it..."

The deity helped the sulking Teresa fix her hair. But in her heart, she thought, since Teresa didn't want to go, then it was only reasonable for her to go herself, wasn't it?

Of course, Lalumia's desire to see her child wasn't solely unilateral. Her journey to another continent stemmed from what she seemed to have discovered clues about Gaia.

Although there are many gods in the world called Gaia.

But the most unique of them all is Gaia, the World Goddess, who exists only once.

Moreover, only the World God possesses the power to travel to another world and bring back souls from that world...

In a sense, Lalumia has confirmed her goal—although she doesn't know if Yang Hao has found the other party yet, it wouldn't hurt to remind him in a few days, right?

Lalumia watched her child work hard with a smile as she pondered.

Meanwhile, after taking Naruja away without any hindrance, Finn prepared for the teleportation spell while curiously observing the changes that Ysgard's products had brought to the United Nations.

The fashion trends have sparked a new trend among the court ladies. While imitating the style of Ysgard by hand, the ladies are also thinking about how to incorporate their own country's traditions into their clothes, which is a positive change.

The knowledge, books, and culture have given Bayer Gems a new way to understand foreign developments, in addition to studying the history and technological accumulation of their own country.

The rise of Isgard stirred unease and ambition in the scholars, who eagerly studied the strengths of foreign lands while also keeping abreast of their own homeland's development. This was a positive development.

There were also things like steam vehicles and civilian hydroelectric generators... all of which brought positive changes to the United Nations.

If I had to say something negative about it...

Perhaps the more powerful these foreign products become, the more worried people like Finn are about the possibility that the soaring prices of products in Isgard might destroy their own country's business model.

"Sigh... After all, there are many things that don't actually need to be produced at a high quality... Especially for things like ubiquitous tableware, what ordinary people need are simple, easy-to-use, and inexpensive items. If Isgard were to truly have a legal route to dump goods on our country..."

Then our market is going to be thrown into chaos.

The elf sighed.

Naruja, whose wrist was being held by the elf like a child, tilted her head curiously and asked, "Why is that?"

Looking at the clueless Narudya, and considering that Narudya wasn't particularly good at political work... Fin thought it over and simply told Narudya that this was a major national issue. Narudya only needed to focus on Gorem's affairs.

In response, the clan chief of the Ling clan simply nodded blankly.

Then, accompanied by a flash of green light, they disappeared from the garden of the Purple Palace and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at Yang Hao's suite in the Presidential Palace of Isugadewis City.

As the world turned to dusk on another continent, Naruja curiously peered out the window for a while before Irina grabbed her and dragged her to the bathroom to change.

Yang Hao, as always, sat on his sofa, staring blankly as Naruja was dragged into the bathroom, and remarked:

"Fen, you truly are my wife—I was already thinking of having you bring Naruja over later, since I've come up with another way to make money in sales... I can only say, you two are truly a perfect match. Your understanding of each other has reached this level?"

"...Huh? Ha... um. um..."

What... are you saying?

She looked at the man who was excitedly hugging her and kissing her incessantly.

The elf chuckled dryly several times.

Unable to lie and not wanting to disappoint him, the little elf chose to remain silent—fortunately, the excited man didn't notice this and just kept rambling on about golems.

the other side.

Miss Margarita has also finalized future plans with Nia.

If Yang Hao does not express his opinion.

Then it's up to them to make a statement.
