Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Ye He?

Carlos was stunned for a full second before he realized who Ye He was, and it took another two seconds to figure out what this man meant here.

He opened his mouth, but not a single syllable came out because he couldn't think of how to communicate with Ye He.

But it didn't matter, Ye He made the choice for him, because through Caesar's overall vision, he had discovered that this young gentleman who came in the same carriage as the local lord was actually flirting with people from the Federation.

When he stood in front of this man, the idiot from the Federation had already told Ye He with an ugly expression that this man was their spy placed next to the local lord.

"Lord Kennan?"

Hearing Ye He's voice, Earl Kennan, who had just stood up, turned back and looked towards the door, just in time to see Ye He smiling at him.

"you are?"

Doesn't this Earl know him?

Ye He and many people from the Federation in the hall were stunned for a moment, but this was good, because...

I saw Ye He raised his hand, "Bang!"

Carlos, who was so imaginative, fell down without hesitation.

His son-in-law was suddenly killed by this strange oriental man, which made Earl Kennan look dumbfounded.

"The reason is that he is a federal spy. May I ask Earl Kennan, who is he? Do you have any recent projects or plans that you have entrusted him to implement?"

Finding spies for the empire was not among Ye He's tasks, but since Yekaterina was about to bring her a lot of income, this credit was given to her by Ye He.

Friends, of course, must treat each other well to maintain friendship.

"you you……"

Earl Kennan pointed at Ye He and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was becoming extremely strange. Those federal scientists who also did not know Ye He were looking at Ye He who suddenly killed someone with fear.

The federal agents who knew Carlos' true identity turned their heads away with gloomy expressions, unable to bear to look at Carlos's dead expression.

Ye He's sudden killing was beyond everyone's plan, but for this priest, it was still being cleaned up, but they didn't know how Carlos was exposed.

The spies who had not yet had time to get in touch with Count Kenan or someone from Isildar's side were not even qualified to question Ye He at this time, and could only watch Ye He question Count Kennan.

"Answer his question."

Ekaterina's voice reached Earl Kennan's ears, shaking him out of his shock.

She understood what Ye He meant when Ye He took action. Ye He had no need to deceive himself, so the man he said was a federal spy was probably true.

As a local lord, Earl Kennan actually traveled with federal spies. Regardless of their relationship, this was a hidden danger to the empire.

Both emotionally and rationally, Yekaterina could only thank Ye He for taking action.

More importantly, at the moment when the Federation has dispatched a team of scientists to hold an exhibition in Isildar, if there are spies from the other side, who can guarantee that the information here will not be disclosed to the people in the Federation team at any time by spies? , what about affecting the interests of the empire?

When the interests of the entire country were involved, Yekaterina was the most selfless person. She not only ordered Count Kennan to answer Ye He's question, but also informed Count Kennan with an indifferent look:

If you don't cooperate... you will lose your head!

Earl Kennan, whose neck suddenly felt cold, looked even more ugly. With Her Highness Ekaterina supporting this oriental man, he no longer had the capital to question Ye He.

Therefore, with a livid face, he still replied to Ye He angrily:

"Carlos is my son-in-law, and his wedding to my daughter will be held in three days. A small mine in the southeast, and the cleaning of the city to welcome His Highness, these are all the things I asked him to be responsible for. "

After finishing speaking, Earl Kennan added a sentence to Ye He with a slight doubt:

"It's just a small coal mine. Carlos manages it well. You and His Highness must already know how clean Isildar is today."

Ye He looked at Ekaterina with an undiminished smile.

He was now standing at the door of the hotel lobby. The morning sun facing the door had just risen and was not completely covered by the eaves, so the southeast was on the right front facing outside the door.

And just after Earl Kennan used "facts" to explain Carlos's "merits" to Ye He and Yekaterina, the federal agents in the hotel looked even more ugly.

"boom!"

A dull explosion came from a distance, and a thick black smoke that could be seen from here in the hotel rose suddenly to the right outside the hotel door.

Earl Kennan's face immediately turned pale. That location... wasn't it the location of the small coal mine he had entrusted to Carlos to manage?

Ye He and Ekaterina looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly to the former. Ye He put on the short hat that matched his formal attire and walked away from the hotel.

The two of them knew best that this was not a coincidence, but that the spy named Carlos designed this.

The Federation's purpose is to hold back Catherine, and this is the ultimate goal of the entire exhibition.

Carlos detonating the coal mine was originally part of the federal plan. The purpose was to let Ekaterina be attracted by the explosion in the coal mine before the exhibition started, and to find some for Ekaterina. Things prevented her from participating in the exhibition properly.

This was also the reason why the spies in the federal team had weird expressions. They thought it was the empire's spies who had investigated in advance that Carlos was one of theirs. Yekaterina brought Ye He here just to handle these disturbing chores for her. Of.

Now before the explosion, Ye He killed Carlos in advance and revealed Carlos's identity as a spy. Count Kennan just explained that Carlos was in charge of the coal mine there.

The explosion has been characterized as a farce directed and staged by the Federation, and judging from Ye He's whereabouts, he is going to the coal mine to deal with the follow-up matters.

The entire federal team can no longer express any opinions on this incident, because Yekaterina may use their group at any time for impure purposes. On the surface, it is a scientific team, but in fact it is a spy group that came to the empire to perform sabotage missions. Reason, take them all down.

Suddenly, after thinking about this, the spies were all in danger. Ekaterina was sitting in front of them, and they could do nothing.

"That...exhibition...can't be opened yet?"

Wilson suddenly mentioned the exhibition in a low voice. Listening to what he meant, he actually wanted to continue holding the exhibition?

Not to mention Earl Kennan, who was aware of the problem, even the spies behind Wilson glared at him with ugly expressions.

Now is the time for them to wait for Catherine's announcement. Who cares about the exhibition?

But what they didn't expect was that Ekaterina suddenly said: "Open, why not open, gentlemen, let's go over."

"Okay!"

Wilson stood up with Yekaterina in surprise. He was several steps behind Yekaterina, but he walked briskly outside with Yekaterina.

The other scientists looked at each other, then stood up and came behind Wilson.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Wilson is so incapable of reading the atmosphere. He doesn’t know that there are so many twists and turns between the Federation and the Empire. Many of the creations on display in this exhibition are his new inventions. What he cares about is Ye. Can Katerina like these things?

Even though Wilson was the team leader and a newly promoted "first-class scientist", his inventions were somewhat "advanced". Investors in the Federation did not see the application value of these creations and did not buy his Amway. As a result, the "research funds" he has recently received have been much reduced, and he is now somewhat stretched.

Scientific research and experiments are expensive.

"Director."

The researchers from the Imperial Scientific Research Institute did not go to the hotel with Count Kennan to meet Ekaterina. They waited at the entrance of the exhibition venue. At this time, Ekaterina came over, and they happened to meet Ekaterina. Come together.

Earl Kennan, who had noticed the undercurrent of this exhibition, was complaining in his heart because he had seen many carriages approaching the venue. Those were local nobles and wealthy businessmen, and some were even gentry invited from other cities by Earl Kennan through various connections and connections.

Earl Kennan thought that this exhibition would be the key to Isildar's "transformation", so he asked these people to attend the exhibition to join in the fun. If there were any good projects at the exhibition that could be started immediately, he would be just in time. As a lord, you can lead these wealthy people to "do business" together.

But now that these people are coming, Earl Kennan only feels a slight pain in the back of his head.

Federation spies have been installed as his sons-in-law. Her Highness Yekaterina doesn't know how she will be punished in the future.

Even if Ekaterina wants to continue the exhibition now, except for Wilson, who is excited to attract research funds, no one else thinks that this exhibition will have any results.

Now Earl Kennan could only follow Yekaterina's wishes and simply announced the convening of the exhibition, then had someone open the door to the venue, and then led Wilson and Yekaterina inside. In the venue.

"Is that...the [Iron-Blooded Princess]?"

A pair of deep eyes looked at Ekaterina who had just entered the venue from the carriage window of a carriage approaching the venue.

Although it was only a "snapshot" from a distance, he still felt the terrifying arrogance of Ekaterina.

More importantly, he only saw a side view of Ekaterina for a second, and a feeling of accelerated heartbeat that he had never experienced before swelled up in his body, making him look at the entrance of the venue. His eyes were filled with unprecedented expectations.

"tutor?"

A young woman who was traveling with him looked at his expression in surprise. This was the first time she had seen her mentor look so excited.

"Stacey, remember to call me by my name."

The man's eyes were still looking at the entrance of the venue, which was getting closer and closer, and he replied lightly to the woman.

The woman's body trembled slightly, and she immediately replied to the man:

"Yes, mentor...er, I mean, Mr. Wormwood."

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the venue, and the man and the woman got out of the carriage together.

This woman is none other than [Blood Shepherd] Quinn Stacey, who once "worked" for Ye He in Northenton, and this man is her "Lightless One" blood disciple as her "close friend" Companion”’s weird mentor.

Winnie, a female blood disciple who once had an affair with Maxwell, was killed by Quinn's mentor in the name of "dirty" after she escaped from Northendon and returned to Isildare with Quinn. .

Wormwood looked to be less than thirty years old, without a beard, handsome and gentle, like a nobleman. His apparent identity on Isildar's side was that he was a descendant of a declining but still very wealthy nobleman.

With the methods of [Lightless One], no one knows how Wormwood's business competitors disappeared. At least no one here in Isildar has been able to discover the existence of [Lightless One], so Wormwood's Life has been going pretty well.

At this exhibition, he was invited by Earl Kennan as one of the business giants.

But now that he was amazed by Ekaterina's almost perfect appearance, as a "perfectionist", he no longer cared about exhibitions and just wanted to see more of Ekaterina.

It would be best... to keep Ekaterina by your side forever!

Wormwood's eyes were fiery, and he walked towards the exhibition venue as soon as he got off the carriage, not even paying attention to Quinn who was accompanying him.

Quinn, who wanted to hug his mentor's arm obediently, could only follow Wormwood, trying his best to hide his fear of his mentor.

If Ye He had not gone to the coal mine in the southeast to handle chores for Yekaterina, the scene would have been very interesting if he had met Quinn here.

"Ahem...please allow me to introduce this to you. This is my invention. The patent number has been issued. It is a..."

As soon as he entered the venue, Wilson couldn't wait to come to the side of his most confident invention, ready to introduce it to Ekaterina.

"Where's the new steam engine?"

But Ekaterina never glanced at his beloved creation from beginning to end. She just turned her head and asked Earl Kennan who was accompanying her.

Earl Kennan also knew that Catherine came to Isildar because of the new steam engine.

Although he does not think that the empire can obtain the specific technology of the new steam engine by looking at its external structure, nor does he think that even if the empire obtains this technology, Catherine will build a factory in Isildar. New steam engine.

But he could not disobey Yekaterina, so he asked the federal scientists on behalf of Yekaterina:

"Please introduce us to the new steam engine first."

"Over here, please follow me."

The federal scientists did not dare to disobey Ekaterina's wishes. Under the eyes of the spies in the team, they immediately brought Ekaterina to the largest creation.

This is a metal "big box" with a length, width and height of about two meters. There are several holes on the surface of the cube for inputting fuel and outputting high-pressure steam, but that's all it appears to be.

Everyone knew that the value of this thing could not be estimated in terms of money, and the empire was even more eyeing on this new steam engine.

But the damn thing is that the Federation doesn’t even perform anymore.

Because when you look through the hole of this "new steam engine", you can directly see the light coming from the hole on the opposite side.

This is simply a metal "big box". The Federation did not ship the complete "new steam engine" at all, only a shell!

As expected...

Yekaterina's eyes fell on Wilson and other federal scientists. An extreme chill and murderous intent were released from her body, causing these people to immediately lower their heads, not daring to look at Yekaterina.

Before they saw it with their own eyes, they actually didn't know that the Federation dared to deal with Yekaterina like this, and the result was that they encountered such terrible pressure.

The technological creations and inventions at the exhibition, in addition to their own inventions brought by them, such as this "new steam engine" with only a shell, and other creations, are all the responsibility of others in the team.

Wormwood entered the exhibition and immediately saw Ekaterina who was putting pressure on a group of scientists.

He kept his admiring gaze on Ekaterina, and quietly came to stand in a corner of the venue.

Except for Earl Kennan, who had to accompany the lord, no one would be stupid enough to try to get close to Catherine in this public place. No matter what your intentions were, this behavior itself was not allowed.

Like Wormwood, there are many wealthy gentry who seem to be attracted by Catherine's appearance.

But most people just glanced at Ekaterina and quickly looked away, fearing that Her Royal Highness, who seemed to be angry, would suddenly turn her attention to them and get angry.

Women like Quinn can actually feel the pressure of "arrogance" that is constantly spreading from Ekaterina. They will not be "ashamed of themselves" because their inappropriate ideas are crushed by the temperament of His Highness. ashamed".

The overly perfect Ekaterina has exceeded the "jealousy" threshold of most women, making women unable to feel jealous. Therefore, women can more easily appreciate and envy Ekaterina.

"Your Highness... is so beautiful."

Even though Ekaterina was angry, Quinn couldn't help but admire her beauty in a low voice.

Wormwood, who was standing in front of her, couldn't help but nodded and hummed in agreement.

But what made Quinn's eyes widen suddenly was when her mentor suddenly said in a very soft and subtle voice, very firmly:

"I must get her!"

"Um...Your Highness, please allow me to explain it to you."

Seeing that the scientists were about to be overwhelmed by Yekaterina, and might pass out or talk nonsense in a short while, a man from the federal team suddenly stood out from the crowd and came to Yekaterina. In front of you.
