Alien Paradise.

Chapter 292 From the Royal Capital
The next day was also spent in peace.

Paradise Sect further expanded the number of recruits, and the entire engineering team reached 10,000 people. The reclaimed forest land at the south entrance has completely changed its appearance. All the remaining tree stumps have disappeared and been replaced by a flat red land. A large amount of gravel was dumped into it, and then rolled over repeatedly with steam trailers and rollers, like a reclamation operation with no end in sight.

The amount of grain stored in the grain depot has not increased today.

All the excess grain purchased from nobles and big merchants has been collected, and consumption and replenishment have reached a delicate balance. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that if there are no more channels for purchasing grain, the inventory in the grain depot will be all the food controlled by the Paradise Sect.

On the third day, a strange team arrived at Qianlimbao. When they got off the train, they also brought disturbing news: this was the last train in and out of Thousand Limburg in the near future. The three train stations closest to Qianlimborg all announced the suspension of passenger and freight services due to risks that may be difficult to control.

After this team found their hotel, the first thing they did was to head straight to the countryside south of the city.

They were the press team sent by Watt News Agency, a total of eleven people. The team leader was Church, and Todd and Rich were also among them.

"I don't understand why we have to come to this place where birds don't poop in person." Todd wiped the sweat on his forehead as he walked, and complained to Richie in a low voice, "Walter Company is here in Bloodhand Port. If there is a branch, can’t we send a few people here to interview?”

"Stop complaining, be careful to let Mr. Church hear it." Li Xi glanced at the boss secretly, "Since he said big news might break here, of course we have to come to the front line to witness it."

"Yes, the mysterious man who came to our club before broke the news. But he didn't even come, so what's the big deal?"

"Copy that!" everyone replied in unison.

"Well, this initiative is very good. Reporters not only require keen insight, but also endless energy and enthusiasm." Church nodded approvingly, then looked at everyone, "There are two official reporters among you. There are six trainee reporters. The purpose of bringing you here is to train your comprehensive abilities. I said before you came that something big is likely to happen in Qianlimburg, but the specifics are still unknown. . Your task is to peel it off and record the whole truth!”

The latter immediately stood up straight and said, "Editor-in-Chief, I just discussed with Li Xi that this is a suitable place for investigation! You see, there are busy workers everywhere, and they must know what is about to happen here."

"I'm a gifted person, most people can't beat me."

"Wait a minute." Todd stopped her, "Where do you plan to go? How about we act together today. Look, this is a border land after all, and it is far away from the royal capital. You, a girl, may be in danger while interviewing alone. , it will be much safer if I follow you.”

"You can wait until you become the editor-in-chief." Li Xi joked, "I'm leaving now."

"Maybe... he has other things to be busy with in the capital?"

Church, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Todd.

"If he is busy as the editor-in-chief, won't he be busy? Aren't we busy? When did this guy Church... become so talkative? He doesn't usually have this attitude towards us."

"That's great, I want an assistant too," Todd muttered.

"This trip is a valuable experience for you. Whether you are a formal reporter or an intern reporter, as long as the report is in-depth, it can be published in the main newspaper of Watt News! Do it well, do you understand?"

"Okay, let's split up." Church clapped his hands, "Joel, go buy me a parasol. The sun here is too hot, oh, it's so hot..."

"But you haven't actually fought the murderer a few times, have you?" Todd insisted. Of course, he was not really worried about his colleagues, but he had previously felt that this little girl who had just joined the company had a spirituality that others did not have - in lay terms, it was called good luck, in professional terms, it was called journalistic acumen. Looking for news materials on the street, she can always find the best entry point. The same was true for the office lecture three days ago. Even she herself was worried that there would be problems with the report on the sewage incident. After it was published, it aroused widespread public attention. Even the Longjiu family appointed a press officer to respond positively.

This kind of spirituality is very important in a big city, let alone a rural place like Qianlimburg. Looking around, what could he see? A bunch of shirtless farmers, a dusty construction site, and piles of rubble piled up like a hill are as boring as you want. Even if they plan to build a 100-meter-tall super building here, that's just what was mentioned in the newspapers.

He never felt that it was necessary for Watt News Agency to mobilize a team of people for an exclusive interview with such great fanfare. "Okay, there's no problem in working together." Li Xi thought for a moment, "But our reports have to be written separately."

"No problem." Todd agreed, "So do you have a goal?"

"I want to ask the locals first." She looked around several times, and finally pointed to a group of ordinary people standing outside the venue watching, "That's all for them."

"Aren't you going to ask the farmer who is digging the ground?"

"I'm afraid the people who are working don't know what they are doing. On the contrary, the bystanders know better." Li Xi's voice was as clear as a wind chime, "Of course, the one who knows the most is definitely the owner of the construction site. If we can interview him, there will be no doubt that It’s the best. But we don’t even know who the other party is, so let’s start with basic information on the first day.”

"I always feel that Church knows more than this, but he just keeps it secret."

"Mr. Church must have his own reasons!" Li Xi was completely unfazed. She smiled and came to the crowd of spectators, randomly picked someone and asked, "Hello, sir, I am Li Xi, a reporter from Watt News Agency. , could you please answer a few questions for us?”

"Walter News Agency?" The man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "From the royal capital?"

"Yes!" Li Xi's eyes lit up, "Do you know us?"

"I've read your newspaper, and the monthly version sells well in Qianlimbao." The man pointed behind him, "Come over here, it's less crowded, and be quiet. I happen to have something to ask you."

What's going on with this guy? Todd couldn't help but be surprised that he was so calm in the face of reporters, and there was also a hint of anti-customer sentiment in it.

The three of them came to the edge of the woods, and the man spoke first, "My name is Ranch Brinton. You can ask questions now."

"Pfft!" Todd suddenly lost his temper, "Brinton!?"

"Ah..." Li Xi was also stunned, "This last name... sounds so familiar."

"You, you, you are the lord of Thousand Limburg, Lord Brinton?" Todd's voice was stuck, right? If you were to interview someone on the road, would you be a noble, or an earl conferred by the king? Even in border cities, the Count was not something ordinary people like them could pick up on casually.

For a moment, Lan Qi regained his previous feeling, "Yes, it's me."

The two of them quickly took a step back, held their chests and bowed to him.

"Yes, I'm sorry, please forgive us for being rude, I didn't know you were..."

"It doesn't matter." Lan Qi interrupted Todd's apology, "I do have a title, but I am no longer the lord of Thousand Limburg. The actual controller of this city has changed hands several times, and now it is under the control of the Paradise Cult."

Not a lord, changed hands several times...

This short sentence was like several thunders exploding in the minds of the two reporters!

Local armed separatism? A rebel who does not belong to the Longjiu family? The confrontation between the central government and the enfeoffed areas? If this news is not breaking news, what is? Even if Earl Brinton's original words were directly published in the newspaper without any processing, it would definitely be earth-shattering news!
