The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 891
Chapter 891
Compared to the rainy and rainy south, the north of the country of rain does not have so much rain.
In terms of administrative regions, there are a total of 16 provinces in the country of rain. As far as the territory is concerned, the country of rain is smaller than the country of swamp and the country of snow.
The area is about one-fourth the size of Snow Country and one-half the size of Numa Country.
If only the six provinces in the south of the country of rain, there is no way to support the entire country.
Regardless of grain output or other mineral resources, the southern part of the Land of Rain is actually very barren.
But the five provinces in the north are different. The north of the country of rain is very rich. Not only is the land fertile, it is the main food production area of the country of rain, but also rich in mithril mine, which is a good material for forging equipment. Especially to magic, Mithril has significant resistance.
It can be said that the five northern provinces of the Land of Rain have supported the entire country. Had it not been for the existence of the five northern provinces, the Land of Rain would have been annexed long ago.
Because of the importance of the strategic location of the five northern provinces, the kings of the Rainy Kingdom in the past dynasties handed over the five northern provinces to the most trusted person, and this most trusted person is usually a member of the royal family, after all, even the royal family. There is a problem internally, no matter how toss it.
The five northern provinces are still in the hands of the king, but if it is managed by outsiders, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that the surnames of the five northern provinces are hard to say. The king of the previous generation of the rain country will give the five northern provinces to With his brother Jester, he was edicted as Duke of the North.
Although Jester was not a man who kept himself safe, but when the first king was there, he was still honest and didn’t do anything outrageous.
But after the death of the king, Jester became more and more unscrupulous. Not only did he frequently recruit troops and buy horses, he even sang the opposite of Jerf’s contract in public courts many times. Even the three-year-old child from the Land of Rain knew that Jester was like this. It’s about to rebel!
However, as the current king of the Rain Country, Jeff does not have the slightest sense of crisis. When he first took the throne a few years ago, he was still working hard. People saw the new atmosphere in the Rain Country, and there was still a little bit of this. But gradually people realized that this was just a flash in the pan. Jeff soon exposed his nature. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, sing, sing, and dance every day. Where did he care about government affairs?
Originally, the nobles of the Land of Rain still had a little hope for Jeff, but when Jeff announced the arrest of the Assassin family, they all disappeared. We must know that the Assassin family can say It is the largest tycoon in Yuzhi after the royal family.
During the two years when Jeff was not doing business, it was relying solely on the old patriarch of the Assassin family, Tiger, to preside over the situation, so that the country of rain would not be eaten away by the surrounding countries, but now Jeff has To make such a self-destruction of the Great Wall made the nobles feel chilling.
This also made the nobles in the royal capital of the Kingdom of Rain stray from their morals, and many people began to secretly communicate with the Northern Duke Jester.
After all, when Jeff was unable to preside over the situation and the country of rain was destined to change, they had to plan for their own future.
People with such thoughts have sent representatives to the north. There are more than a dozen such messengers on the train to Storm City where the Duke of the North is located. Of course, it is not these messengers who have the heaviest weight on this train. , But two people.
One is that he is Jeff’s confidant on the surface, but it is actually Jestan’s eyeliner in the capital. Mr. Ghost, he has a considerable right to speak in the king, even the patriarchs of major families have to sell it. He has some face.
At the same time, he is also responsible for taking people to Drizzle City to take care of the affairs of the Assassin family.
The other is that this time, at the invitation of Mr. Ghost, he went north to meet Jester’s distinguished guests, a man who has recently made a name for himself in the northern continent.
Duray.
In fact, even Spectre never expected that this young man would agree to his invitation so happily.
Originally, he thought that Du Lei went to Drizzle City to help the Assassin family, which was a big trouble for him.
After all, Du Lei has a great influence in the country of snow, mountain and swamp. If he intervenes in the affairs of the country of rain, he will definitely become an insurmountable obstacle, even if he has thought of secretly giving Du Lei to Get rid of.
As long as he is assassinated, even if all parties have doubts, as long as there is no evidence, they can’t take him.
But later he was surprised to find that this young man was powerful, and he actually had the strength of a king at a young age.
He has practiced hard for many years before he barely reached the level of the king.
But if he is fighting life and death, he is not the opponent of this young man at all.
Under such circumstances, he would actually join Jester’s camp, which surprised the ghost, but also a trace of doubt.
Because he wasn’t sure what kind of idea this young man had, in case he had other plans, it wouldn’t be very good.
“How long will it take to get to Storm City?” Du Lei, who was sitting in his seat, closed the last page of the book in front of him and covered it.
This is already the third book he has finished reading on this journey.
“Um… We will arrive in Rainstorm City in two hours.” Mr. Ghost replied quickly. Although he had doubts, he never dared to offend the young man in front of him.
“Two hours? By the way, Mr. Ghost, I heard that the position of the king of the kingdom of rain should originally belong to Duke Jester, right?” Du Lei put the book aside and asked the conductor passing by. A glass of water, he asked calmly.
“Yes, there is such a thing. Before the death of the former king of the previous generation, he left a will to let Master Jester inherit the throne. Master Jester was dispatched to the north.” Ghost nodded and said.
“Distribution? The north is the richest area in the country of rain. If you are deliberately embarrassing Master Jester, why not send him to the west to confront the country of iron. The country of iron is very militant, so it can be considered a good place. Is it a bitter cold area?” Du Lei shook his head, disapproving of this answer.
“Mr. Du Lei, you really have a thorough understanding. In fact, Master Jester has always held unfavorable evidence of the emperor’s tampering with the edict, so the king did not dare to make things difficult for Master Jester, and gave Jie the richest area. Lord Jester, Lord Jester has been conscientiously governing the north for many years. The people of the north live and work in peace and contentment. They all praise Lord Jester for his good governance. Originally, Lord Jester did not have the heart to fight for ambitions, only thinking about rain. The people of the kingdom can be peaceful and happy, but who knows that the king of this generation, that is, Jester’s nephew, Jeff, is a greedy guy who sings and dances all day and raises taxes, which makes The people dared not say anything. Master Jester really couldn’t stand it anymore. He wrote two letters to Jeff to persuade Jeff to restrain himself, but Jeff not only refused to listen, but instead intensified. Master Steward had no choice but to take some extraordinary measures to save the country of rain.” Ghost sighed and said quietly.
“In other words, what Jester is doing now is actually to save the country of rain, right?” Du Lei asked back.
“Of course, in response to Lord Jester, all the nobles in the Rain have sent messengers to Rainstorm City to discuss with Lord Jester. There are 26 messengers on our train alone. “Spectre didn’t hide it, but gave out the specific number.
“It seems that Jester really got a lot of support, but I heard that Jeff used to work hard, but overnight, he suddenly changed and became greedy. There is such a thing. What’s the matter?” Du Lei asked curiously.
“There is such a thing, it may be that Jeff suffered emotional frustration, that’s why it changed a lot. In short, under his rule, the rain country has been worsening every day in the past two years. The neighboring countries of the country are staring at the country of rain. If there is no deterrence from Lord Jester, the consequences would be unimaginable.” Spectre said with doubts.
“Emotionally frustrated? What’s going on?” Du Lei became more interested.
“Well… Actually this is Jeff’s personal question. It was inconvenient for me to say at first, but since it was Mr. Du Lei’s question… Actually it is like this. Jeff fell in love with someone before. Folk women, but the disparity between their identities, the relationship between the two met the opposition of the minister, and it was this incident that made Jeff a big blow. He gradually became addicted to sensuality and neglect to handle government affairs, and he became what he is now. Up.”
Spectre reluctantly explained that as Jeff’s confidant and consultant, he knew very well about Jeff’s situation.
“Is there still such a thing? It seems to be excusable for Jeff to be like this.”
“But no matter what the reason is, he is the king of a country, not an ordinary person. It is because of an ordinary folk woman that the country’s government affairs have been stranded, and the whole country has become messy and smoky. Is the king’s enlightenment as it should be? This is simply a manifestation of irresponsibility!” Spectre was very dissatisfied with this, and he condemned Jeff’s crime violently.
“You are also very reasonable, so in your opinion, is Jester the best choice to replace Jeff?” Du Lei nodded and asked.
“This is not the old man’s choice. I am old. My only wish is to see the Kingdom of Rain develop on the right track. I hope that all the people can live and work in happiness. Master Jester also has the same idea. If we can, we would rather remain silent and use our insignificant power to contribute to this country, but the current situation makes it impossible for us to remain silent. This is the choice of the country and the common choice of the four million people in the country of rain. We It’s just doing things in accordance with the people’s voice.” Ghost Youyou said.
“Mr. Ghost and the patriotism of Master Jester are really admirable.”
“Mr. Du Lei, you have a good reputation. You can choose to help Master Jester. This is also the best choice, and this is also the best way to help your classmate, Miss Kelly.” Spectre said solemnly.
“Oh? Help Kelly?” Du Lei came with interest.
“Yes, now the Assassin family where Miss Kelly belongs is being persecuted by Jeff, but if you help Master Jester and let Master Jester succeed in the capital, Master Jester will definitely be Not only that, but also the restoration of the reputation of the Assassin family, it will also allow Lord Tiger to continue to serve as the prime minister of the country. Miss Kelly and Lord Keita will hold important positions in the new Land of Rain. Not only them, but we also Mr. Du Lei will be hired as our consultant for the country of rain, so that the lifeless country of rain will be renewed and rejuvenated.”
The ghost said vowedly, and began to look forward to a new and beautiful life in the country of rain.
“Listening to you, it seems really good. I am also honored to be able to serve Master Jester. I am more and more looking forward to seeing Master Jester sooner.” Du Lei nodded and said. .
“We will arrive in Rainstorm City in just over an hour. Master Jester will definitely be very happy for your visit to Mr. Du Lei.”
Spectre looked out of the car window, when the train began to enter a tunnel.
This is the famous “narrow of drizzle” in the country of Rain. To some extent, this long tunnel is the watershed between the north and the south of the country of rain.
In the north of the narrow drizzle, there is plenty of rain, but there is a distinct rainy season, the land is fertile, and the grain production is high.
In the south where the drizzle is narrow, it rains all year round, and it is difficult for crops to grow under heavy rain.
As the Duke of the North of the Land of Rain, Jester’s territory is just north of the Narrow Rain.
After passing through the narrowness of the drizzle, it is the range of Rainstorm City.
“I hope this trip will go smoothly…Huh?” Du Lei looked at the darkened scene outside the window.
Because of entering the tunnel, the light was deprived, the train turned on the lights, and moved slowly according to the established track.
Since the tunnel opened for more than ten years, trains have traveled here hundreds of times without any problems.
But now…
“Mr. Du Lei, what’s the matter with you?” The ghost noticed the abnormality and looked at Du Lei in surprise.
“It seems that some people don’t want us to pass here.” Du Lei looked out the car window.
Although it was dark outside, nothing could be seen.
But Du Lei keenly caught something approaching them quickly in the dark.
“Someone?” Ghost was stunned, because he didn’t notice anything unusual.
It’s just that Du Lei’s state is a little abnormal.
Just when he felt inexplicable, the smoothly moving train slammed the brakes.
Under the influence of inertia, the Spectre’s body fell forward, staggering, and almost did not fall to the ground.
“What’s going on? What happened?” Spectre immediately looked out of the car window and asked the staff nearby.
He has driven this route more than a dozen times, and there has never been an accident.
