Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 571 Preparations for the wedding

  After the meeting of the three giants of the empire, Empress Christina immediately ordered the entire Golden Shield Warrior development team to go to the Triumph Fortress in the Tedgar Hills, and notified Sinclair to do a good job of receiving and protecting it.

  Luke also ordered the existing two Magic Titan test machines and the support team in Rage City to go to the Triumph Fortress.

   Then Clear Sky sent a super warrior to Triumph Fortress.

  The special operation against the World Bank branch in Tedgar Hills is about to start. In order to deal with the revenge of the Shuojin people, and also for the smooth holding of the wedding ceremony between the Duke of Raging Waves and the Eldest Princess, the defense level of the imperial capital has been quietly raised by several gears.

   Not only did the City Guard Corps begin to assist in the management of city security, but some new equipment that had been secretly developed and achieved results was also placed in the palace and important buildings. In order to provide enough mana, the Raging Waves City Magic Lab also specially built a large-scale element fusion reactor in Shenglun City to provide the increased demand for mana.

   Therefore, after entering the night, unlike the brightly lit Shenglun City in Rage City, you can see slowly rippling magic energy waves over the entire city, like floating colorful streamers.

  After the queen's enthronement celebration, city residents once again entered the warm-up of carnival.

  Large quantities of materials are supplied to the city, and the prices of commodities that were expensive in the past have been greatly reduced, and they have become things that ordinary people can consume.

  The western region sent red wine and dried fruit.

  Luke's two trips to the West have completely conquered the hearts of the people in the West. With the completion of the railway from the Harmutu Basin to the Crescent Oasis, the closed western region finally came into contact with civilized society. The empire's comprehensive development of the western region has clearly benefited the residents of the western region. An increase in income of one hundred imperial marks is nothing in Raging Waves City, but in the western region it is double or even three hundred.

  All the nobles of the western region who were on their heads became the masters of the urn, and a bright future unfolded in front of the western region. With the spread of the legend of the meteorite in the western region, the residents of the western region know how they got their present day.

  So after hearing the news that the Duke of Meteor was going to marry the Princess of the Empire, the residents of the Western Territory spontaneously paid tribute to the Empire, sending truckloads of souvenirs to the city of St. Lun.

   There is also the downtown area within easy reach.

  The current downtown area is no longer what it used to be. After Luke put the small commodity production center in the lower city of St. Lun City, the demand for labor forces made it absorb and accommodate bankrupts caused by industrialization.

  This is not an industrial city, and there is no need for so many skilled workers. As long as you have hands, you can find a job here that provides food and clothing.

  Now the population growth rate of the lower city has surpassed that of Raging Waves City, and there is almost no suspense that Shenglun City will become the world's first megacity with a population of tens of millions before Raging Waves City.

   This is not only a major event that can enhance the international influence of the Golden Shield Empire, but also represents the problem that industrialization has brought about a large number of poor people at the bottom. The current city of St. Lun and Raging Waves are like two large-absorbing sponges, turning the rural population into an urban population, allowing them to generate more value and still live a better life than before after being squeezed by the empire. .

  When the unemployment rate drops, many social problems will be solved.

  In the past, the gang bosses in the downtown area became rich businessmen one by one, and their conversation and demeanor were different from before. His face turned into a greasy face; his abdominal muscles turned into a beer belly; what was discussed at the wine table was not where to kill people at night, but how much W everyone earned together.

  The law and order in the lower urban area can be said to be an absolute model urban area. Anyone who loses something here may return the lost item before reporting it to the Public Security Bureau. In general, not only will there be no less money, but there may be more money (fingers used to be more).

  Residents in the lower city know that the earth-shaking changes in their lives are caused by Meteor Shoufu.

Therefore, as soon as the wedding date of the Duke of Raging Waves City and the eldest princess was announced from the palace, the lower city said, "We cover all the decorations of the entire city. We don't need the empire to pay a penny. We guarantee that on the wedding day, Saint Lun City will be fully covered The most beautiful city in the world."

  Millions of residents in the lower urban area work overtime without pay for the wedding. They want every tree in the imperial capital to be wrapped with ribbons, every building to be decorated with colored lights, everyone to have colored flags in their hands, and every child to be given a gift with the blessings of the Duke of Raging Waves and the Eldest Princess.

  Floats will fill the streets, and balloons will cover the sky.

  They all honestly believed that the marriage between the Duke of Raging Waves and the Eldest Princess of the Empire would make the position of the chief assistant of Meteor Star stronger, and their lives would only get better and better.

   There is also the coastal city belt in the east of the empire headed by Raging City.

  This long and narrow area considers itself to be the fief and actual private land of the Duke of Raging Waves. Since his own Duke is marrying the eldest princess of the empire, as a direct retainer, he must not be stingy.

  Raging Waves City Government Affairs Office offered tens of billions of Reichsmarks as a gift to marry the Eldest Princess, and promised to issue a commemorative coin with a denomination of 100 Reichsmarks to all citizens of the Empire. The commemorative coin is funded by Raging City and printed and issued by the Imperial Royal Bank.

  Commemorative coins can be circulated, can be transferred to increase, and are interoperable with the current currency issued by the empire.

  Rage City, rich and powerful, is so direct and straightforward.

   Other parts of the empire also presented gifts in their own ways to express their blessings for the wedding.

   Not long after, His Majesty the Emperor Christina helped again. Announcement: On the day of the wedding of the Duke of Raging Waves and the eldest princess, the entire empire and all colonies...amnesty!

  The enthusiasm of the entire city of St. Lun is rising rapidly, changing at a rate of one day.

  So when Princess Dai walked out of the train station, she almost thought she had gone to the wrong place and entered a city that only existed in fairy tales.

  The ubiquitous colors hit the sight, ribbons, lanterns, colorful balloons, and even stray dogs on the street were caught and washed, and then put on bows of different colors.

  The streets were washed spotless, and there was some candy sweetness in the air.

  Everyone's face was filled with joy, even the usually arrogant and domineering sheriffs and imperial secret agents were amiable and amiable, standing at attention and saluting before enforcing the law.

While Dai'er was carrying the suitcase and staring blankly, several plainclothes spies stepped forward quickly, and a female spy took Dai'er's suitcase and said in a low voice, "Dear Princess Dai'er, welcome back to the imperial capital. We offer Her Royal Highness ordered you to go to Rose Manor, please follow us."

  Other plainclothes spies pretended to be passers-by and scattered around to guard.

  Daier followed the female spy and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen? You look very nervous?"

The female spy led the way in front, while looking around cautiously: "Nothing special happened, everything in the imperial capital is normal. It's just that the empire has some small conflicts with the World Bank. In order to protect important officials of the empire, the Imperial Secret Service A professional security department has been set up to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding.

  Now there are a lot of foreigners in the imperial capital, and a large part of them are foreigners who came to the wedding. Your Highness still needs to be careful. "

   "I see..." Dai'er, who was very sensible, put on a lady's hat and followed the spies with her head down.

  They got into a car waiting on the side of the road, and then drove quickly to Rose Manor.

  In the garden of Rose Manor, Agatha is carefully carving clay sculptures. There were a lot of mud spots on her face, body, and hair, but none of them distracted her.

   In order to prepare for the wedding, Agatha got a rare long vacation from Queen Christina. She also really handed over all the work to the people below, and concentrated on completing this work at home.

  Daier arrived under the guidance of the female officer, and she couldn't help being stunned when she saw Agatha's sculpture: "In my memory, this should be the first time you made a statue for him, right?"

  Hearing Dai'er's voice, Agatha turned around and saw her younger sister, and came over to give her a big hug, rubbing the mud on her body.

"This is indeed the first time I have made a statue for him." Agatha took Dier's hand and came to the statue: "But I seem to be doing too seriously, and this is definitely not all about him. You came just in time , to see what details I haven't noticed."

   Dai'er looked at the sculpture in front of her, her eyes couldn't help but get a little wet.

  She picked up the carving knife prepared by the female officer, and stepped forward to make detailed modifications on the sculpture's face.

   "You are right, seriousness is not all about him. Maybe you haven't seen his father in another way, and he won't let you see him like that, but he occasionally behaves like a father in front of me."

  The sculpture that Agatha has been making during this time is a full-body portrait of Augustine the Great.

  Augustine the Great had many sculptures throughout his life, which were placed in the squares of the palace and other places in the empire. But none of the sculptures his children made for him...

   While waiting for the wedding, Agatha couldn't help herself and started making a sculpture of Augustine the Great. She sculpted the image of her father in her mind vividly, but she didn't look like a father.

  Until Princess Dai took over the modification, Agatha didn't know...it turns out that he really has a father side.

   "It really makes me jealous of you, Dai'er. You don't know, even at the last moment of my death, I was just an imperial princess in his heart."

   "Probably because I'm the most useless child." Dai'er modified her eyes to make the sculpture's eyes less sharp: "You and your brother have worked for the Empire since early on, while I don't know anything.

  Sister, after entering the empire, I can feel that everyone is happy for your marriage with Meteor Shosuke. Everyone thinks you're such a good match..."

"And you?"

  Agatha's sudden inquiry made the carving knife in Dai'er's hand almost go wrong. She replied in a panic: "Of course I also think you are a good match. One is the eldest princess of the empire, and the other is the duke of the empire; you are so beautiful, he...he is also very handsome..."

  Agatha hugged Dai'er from the back: "I'm sorry, Dai'er! Although I wrote you a letter, I still have to give you a face-to-face apology.

   Only by his side can I feel that I am not a princess, and I don’t need to bear so many responsibilities imposed by my father. I can't live without this feeling, and I'm sure he's the one I've been waiting for. "

   Dai'er turned around and looked at her sister who looked somewhat similar to her face to face.

   Now she doesn't look like a noble eldest princess, without the burden on her shoulders, she is completely a sentimental girl waiting to get married.

   "I know why you suddenly want to make a sculpture for your father, you want to get his blessing..." Dai'er smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I came to your wedding just to bless you."

   "Thank you, Dai'er. You were the only person in this world I didn't want to hurt, but I still hurt you in the end."

"Don't say such hair-raising words anymore, this is not my sister Agatha." Dale pulled Agatha to face the statue of Augustine the Great: "I think we should finish it together, what I saw It is the father, and what you see is also the father."

"Okay!" Dai'er's answer brought Agatha back to her senses. She picked up the carving knife and said, "How to present two completely different faces of a character on one sculpture is a very test for a sculptor." skills and feelings.

  The only people in this world who can truly represent Emperor Augustine through sculpture are our sisters.

   You're staying with me these days, and we're sure to get it done before the wedding. "

  Da'er held the carving knife and twirled the flowers between her fingers: "Okay! I want to sleep with you in the same bed as when I was a child. When you get married, I won't have this chance."

"Ah?" Agatha didn't expect Dai'er to make such a request, but it was her sister's request, so Agatha had no choice but to agree: "Okay, let's sleep in the same bed. I want to hear about your adventures in the Emerald Forest , you were the first to discover the headhunters, it must be a very thrilling story."

   "Of course, when I first discovered them, I couldn't imagine how scary they were..."

  Agatha and Dill are chatting and sculpting.

  The close female officer on the side of the service stepped back quietly, first sent someone to clean the bedroom quickly, put away the things that shouldn't be there, and then sent someone to report to Silver Manor.

   "Princess Dai'er is back, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess will stay her in the bedroom...the date is unknown!"

   Luke in the back garden of Silver Manor read the note sent by Rose Manor, and burned his fingers to ashes.

Then he said to the tall and mighty visitor: "King Tyrone! I think I have made it very clear. Teresia knows that after they leave, the empire will take back Silver Manor, so she took everything she could with her before she left. Gone, everything that can't be taken away is destroyed.

  Besides, so many angels have been busy for so many days and haven't found the artifact here, can you find it? "

  The Golden Dragon Tyrann King knew that Luke was telling the truth, and all the angels ran away, so they must have found nothing.

  But ever since he learned that the angel was looking for the artifact in the city of St. Lun, his heart has been scratched, and he can dig a hole in the ground while sleeping.

   "I know angels don't leave anything useful, but... I can't rest easy if I don't look for it."

   "You should be more aware of how many influencers there are in the city of Saint Lun. If I let you enter the Silver Manor to search around, the angel will know that you and I know the information about the artifact.

  If you believe me, let me look for it, and I will give you news if I find it. "

  Golden Dragon King Talon looked at Luke, and said after a while: "I don't believe you, I only believe King Glutton."

  Luke said disdainfully: "What can that young dragon who can't even speak tell you?"

   King Tai Lun replied: "I'm talking about... the real gluttonous king!"
