Chapter 181 The Premonition of Destruction

Trade Secretary suddenly surrendered -

This startled the Supervision Bureau.

But they soon discovered traces of Ling Ling's control.

And there are only a few people who can control Minister Droste... For safety reasons, they also locked the Minister of Trade in the basement.It was the basement where President Lloyd was imprisoned.

In any case, this is not something that small supervisors like them, who are just at the second level, can manage...

Let's put it there first.

After Drost was locked in the basement, he regained his free will.

He was unexpectedly quiet at the moment, because he knew that someone would save him.Even if the Avalonians hadn't come, the Astralians or the Noble Red would have.

So he just opened his eyes and stared at the darkness in front of him, falling into long-term thinking.

It turns out that Meg is dying soon...

That's why she was so anxious.Suddenly both Chairman Lloyd and the Vice Chairman were arrested... Now the businessmen have begun to panic.And being arrested, I am afraid that this panic will be further exacerbated.

Before that, Meg chose not to care about anything because she didn't understand anything, and stayed in school to teach students.

Unless the Arbitration Hall wants to ask her to do something, or Her Majesty the Queen personally orders, she will just leave everything to the Arbitration Hall.Someone also asked her at the time, Meg's private statement is: "I don't want to screw up anything because of my reasons, so I choose to only do the right thing, and I have the ability to do the right thing."

——Completely different from her carefree demeanor, Meg is unexpectedly delicate.

Long ago, the Arbitration Hall was the complete top authority.They are the round table hall in the round table hall, basically composed of the founding family.Taken together, they are nominally equal to the king.

Later, many Founder families withdrew from the Arbitration Hall one after another.In order to fill the vacancies, some top ministers were added...At that time, the "Minister of Trade" could also join the Arbitration Hall.

But there was an incident at that time, which directly led to the ministers not being allowed to join the Arbitration Hall and the Inspectorate.Those who have joined the Arbitration Hall and the Inspectorate are not allowed to inherit the family business.

But now, those who can join the Arbitration Hall are all geniuses who have reached the fourth energy level before the age of 40, and their souls are basically complete, and they have the potential to advance to the fifth energy level.

All of them are blessed by the Silver Crowned Dragon, and a new fifth energy level may be born at any time.In normal times, they are basically isolated from the world, and are only responsible for helping the king or queen to rule on the highest affairs-such as executing a minister, abolishing a department, launching a war, executing or deposing a member of the royal family.

This is also the real background of Avalon.

From this perspective, Avalon can also be said to be a theocracy ruled indirectly by the Silver Crowned Dragon.

However, according to the records of the Drost family, during the first 100 years of Avalon's founding, the Silver Crowned Dragon actually showed up frequently.How can I manifest once or twice a year, or two or three times, and I often ask the arbitration hall at that time to inquire about the situation and give some orders and favors.

But after that, He appeared less and less... It was also because He seldom appeared, so the original founder families thought that they had done something wrong, so they withdrew from the Arbitration Hall one after another.

In the past 100 years, He has not appeared once.While still answering prayers steadily, it no longer manifests from the physical world.

Probably because he was tired of it, or he was disappointed.Minister Drost thought to himself.

After all, Avalon is no longer the kingdom of knights when it was first founded.

It's just that they still wear armor and call themselves knights.But what is the difference between them and the nobles of other countries?

But in fact, according to Droste's thinking, it might be better to say that Avalon has changed too little.

Because other countries have changed even more.

The Starbone people invented the machine gun, united demon scholars and alchemists, and are developing their "Starbow Alchemy". Aircraft and mining machines live together with the wise giants of the Northland, and many clusters have been established.

The goblins built troll plantations in the southern continent, and sold a large number of domesticated trolls to other countries as cheap labor.That's an extremely sought-after commodity.

The lifespan of trolls is comparable to that of humans, with fangs, mental retardation, laziness and ignorance.But they are extremely tall, full of physical strength, infinite strength, and proficient in rituals and curses... Whether they are guards, labor, or cursers and ritualists, they are of sufficient value.

The trained trolls have a strong ability to open up wasteland. They have a strange regeneration ability and can save most of the poisons, unless fire and acid can prevent their regeneration.Thorns, swords, guns, and bullets were of no use to them.

Relying on these trolls, the Iris Kingdom has already cultivated a large area of ​​land in the south.A large number of goods returned have greatly increased the amount of export trade.

Today, the merchant ships of the goblins have connected goods from all over the world.Even the unchanging lizardfolk of the desert are changing their ways, opening schools and teaching all students equally.Even the elves of the Theocracy are preparing to teach other races high-level divine arts recently.

——Everyone is changing, only Avalon remains motionless.

Objectively speaking, it can't be said that they are motionless... At least many people who have inherited the title of knight can't even wear the armor passed down from their father or grandfather.They will also require craftsmen to modify and hollow out the armor to reduce weight and heat dissipation.

Today, Avalon still does not even allow races other than humans and elves to set foot on their land, let alone allow goblins to do business.

This outdated rule has made the people of Avalon fall far behind.The goblin merchant ships carrying large quantities of goods from the east and south could not disembark in Avalon, so they had to go to Star Antimony, Theocracy and Iris.

It turned out that the Avalonians had to pay a premium to buy the same thing from these humans, and they considered it a tradition.

It is precisely because Drost is the Minister of Trade that he can understand these things.

Before the Noble Red Society contacted him, he was indeed a person who did his duty for Avalon—it was because he was conscientious enough that he saw so many hidden dangers and crises, and thought that Avalon had arrived at the time. It's time to end.

Even if Queen Sophia is enlightened enough, considering that the Avalonians have not seen aliens for hundreds of years, considering the opinions and reactions of the people, and considering the opposition of the knights, she still has not opened up the right to operate aliens.

With Sophia's reputation, she can't pass, and she doesn't want to change because of her enlightenment. Is there any hope for the future Avalon?
Droste thinks not.

It would be better to sell Avalon for a good price while Avalon is still a threat in the eyes of others - the Griffin Legion is still the strongest air force on this continent, and Meg is the top powerhouse.When the two items are added together, even the stars should be wary of them.But on the other hand, the star people will also pay enough value for this information.

Although Droste himself had never been to Starbucks, he already had four manors and a Viscounty in Starbucks.He was granted the title of hereditary viscount by the king of this generation, which is his own land, and he can even recruit his own soldiers!

These things are what he got by selling Avalon's information.

Because the top levels of power in Avalon are all authoritarian paths that swear allegiance to the queen, the spies they planted never reached the top level.Because of this, neither the star people nor the iris people know the reality of Avalon.

After all, griffins are indeed extremely threatening... with intelligence beyond human beings, power close to the fifth energy level, ability to blend into the wind, silent and rapid progress, and a long elf-like lifespan.With the friendship of the griffins, as long as Avalon wants to attack other countries, it will be difficult for them to defend.

And then there was Meg.

And now, Meg is dying?
If he sells this news to the stars... How much money can he make?
Drost narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly had a premonition—a premonition that Avalon was about to be shattered.

Most of the Avalonites did not expect Meg's death, but if the Celestials could prepare in advance... well, it would be a surprise attack.The Avalonians had no time to resist and would be directly defeated.

On the other hand, if Meg is about to die and cannot report such important information, then he will lose the value of his existence as a spy.

In other words, it is now time for Droste to make a decision.

Help Avalon, or help Star Antimony?

"Ah……"

He smiled.

Is that still a choice?

He has no choice.
