Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 469: First Meeting with Archduke Ferdinand

"The Austro-Hungarian Empire must immediately stop its illegal occupation of other countries. We do not rely on their charity to survive!"

"Let all the empire's scoundrels get out!"

"We've had enough. With so many trade deficits every year, our country's average income is only one-seventh of that of the Austrian Star Empire!"

When Amanda got off the boat, she happened to see a parade. This may be a traditional performance in Western culture.

Dozens of patrolmen were maintaining order, but judging from the casual expressions on their faces, they were used to this kind of procession and did not feel any danger.

Judging from the national symbols on these marchers, they happened to be one of the several dependent countries of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This huge country dominates the resources of nearby small countries, provides military asylum, and even decides on the national interests of those small countries without authorization.

There is no doubt that the upper class in these small countries must be doing well.

As for how the lower-class residents are doing, that depends on different people’s opinions.

At least judging from the demands made by the people in these marches, they are not satisfied with their current salary levels.

"Brother! Let's go. The hospital where Dad is treated is on St. Peter's 4th Street. Remember to come and see us when you have time!"

Sigma looked at the address he wrote on his clothes and said goodbye to Amanda.

Geddie howled a few times resentfully, and then followed the father and son away.

They carefully avoided the streets of the parade and headed towards their destination.

Amanda was also about to leave. At this moment, the atmosphere of the parade seemed to reach another climax because of the passing of a limousine.

In front of the sedan were three cavalry horses wearing Austro-Hungarian military honor guard uniforms, and behind the sedan were three rows of honor guards on foot.

The flag above happens to be one of those dependent countries.

"Look! They are enjoying a luxurious life abroad, while our families live a miserable life without enough food and clothing!"

"Get him out!"

I don’t know who threw the things in his hands first. A lot of debris was thrown over, but unfortunately, it couldn’t hurt the people inside at all.

The emotions of the people in the parade were aroused. If there really is any god who can enjoy this emotion, then this must be the time to feast.

"Alas, Archduke Ferdinand can be regarded as a model of honesty and integrity for the people. He has won a lot of benefits for their country, and he is treated as such."

The local crew behind them murmured in low voices.

Amanda has no ability to explore the right and wrong of this kind of thing. Sometimes he also fantasizes, if the dark problem is solved, and he still retains the ability of the giant of light, can he help people solve social conflicts?

But that may be a more terrifying difficulty than darkness. Even many TV gatherings only touch on the surface and cannot provide solutions.

After all, this is an eternal problem as long as human society exists.

Then just follow your own path firmly.

Wait, Archduke Ferdinand?

Amanda raised her eyebrows and touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment. Could it be such a coincidence?
Thanks to the fact that he did not slip through the nine-year compulsory education, he clearly remembers several key figures in world history.

The assassinated archduke was the trigger for World War I.

Amanda was used to errors in the correspondence between history and time. After all, it was a timeline modified by the academy.
Moreover, this Archduke Ferdinand might just be the inheritance of the title or the inheritance of the name.

And his wife was obviously not in the car today, so it wasn't a big problem.

Amanda glanced inside the car, and Omega also confirmed that no one in the parade had firearms, and then she felt relieved.

Otherwise, judging from the situation where he went into trouble, he would really have to witness the outbreak of a world war.

An hour later, Amanda arrived at the location requested by Ptolemy.

"The plane was inspected three times before departure, and every time there were new problems. Fortunately, we landed successfully. If you were on the plane, I'm afraid it wasn't really going to crash."

The person who spoke was a researcher wearing an academy badge. He was a new face, but his work ID proved that he worked at the Giant Experimental Base.

"You can call me Tietou," he patted his head, "Dean Shecang sent me here. Although this is our first meeting, according to the forged documents, I have already met Anduin. We’ve been together for two months.”

"What has Dean Shecang been busy with recently?" Amanda was very curious. He had been in the sphere of influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for two months, and he didn't know what changes had taken place in the outside world. The old pollution caused by the British Empire How is your recovery going?

Tietou led Amanda inside and said:
"I was wrangling with the higher-ups, but I also had some supporters. Because of the powerful combat effectiveness of the artificial giants in the Battle of Budapest, many countries began to secretly contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire until they realized that Professor Ptolemy was in the Titan Project importance. Therefore, some conspiracy theorists believe that this is a ploy by the Academy to divide various countries, and also require the respective Academy branches to provide them with Titan technology."

At this point, Tietou smiled strangely and said, "You know, Dean Shecang happens to have some so-called research data on enlargement. As far as he is concerned, how to enlarge is a question worth studying. , just putting out a few research reports is enough to make those countries temporarily believe it.”

Amanda suddenly realized that the man who called himself Iron Head was not from Earth.

"Don't look at me with such a strange expression. I was just lucky enough to see Lord Jakura grow to a huge size."

Tietou's expression turned to one of reverence, but Amanda couldn't tell what race he was.

He skillfully pulled out his work diary and introduced:
"Tonight we will attend a banquet at the royal palace. Several noble ministers should be in contact with you. Many people are willing to extend an olive branch to you if you can become their son-in-law."

Amanda looked at the pocket watch hanging on her chest with some embarrassment, and felt a little sorry for the girl whose death was taken advantage of, and said:
"I'm afraid the status assigned to me is not suitable for this."

"Hey, in addition to dealing with the upper class, there are also difficulties made by the politicians of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If you cannot become one of them, you will be targeted by them. These old immortals are already preparing to make plans for all five subsequent The giants all fight with people from the upper class. How could the holders of these strategic weapons be lowly civilians? They have a clear understanding of the idea of ​​​​hanging street lights on civilians. "

The iron head took Amanda's shoulders familiarly, and suddenly said:
"However, I think you can consider subduing yourself and temporarily joining a power class. It would be great if you can enter the royal family. Your children even have the right to inherit the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ability, we have planned for decades to let you achieve this goal, no problem."

"How many decades? Gatan will wake up within one year at the earliest and five years at the latest. Are you so optimistic about the future?"

Amanda asked in surprise.

Tietou also asked in surprise: "Isn't it just a Dark Demon Kingmon? You don't need to be so nervous. It can be killed by Ultraman Orb in its original state, so it won't be a big problem."

Amanda pinched her face, wondering if she should tell this optimist the truth?
He probably thought that this alien was deceived by Jakula.
