Magic Industrial Age

That night,

18 Lombard Street, first floor, training ground.

Oliveira stood with his sword, his expression solemn, his body shimmering with battle aura, but not dazzling.

Loy and Anger were also present, having just finished training, and were now listening to Oliveira's lecture.

"Battle aura flows throughout the body with the blood. It can be said that wherever blood can reach, battle aura exists.

This is also why breathing techniques have the effect of tempering the body. As long as there is high-intensity training, the muscles will be sore, and battle aura will naturally integrate, smooth, and even repeatedly reinforce them, thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening.

At this time, even if we consciously mobilize battle aura, it is only a part, a small part.

Moreover, it mostly involves allowing the battle aura to flow with the blood and gather in certain places."

"But, when it comes to the third rank, when battle aura is released externally, skill becomes very important."

"If you still use the previous method, it will actually be counterproductive. It will be difficult to extend the battle aura blade to a distance.

So, Loy, what you need to train now is the real usage of the battle aura slash..."

That's right, this was actually Oliveira giving Loy a lesson. Although Loy had not yet reached the third rank, the ability to release battle aura externally meant that he could learn some battle aura techniques.

It was also after Oliveira's explanation that Loy had a sense of sudden realization.

So, the battle aura slash was not just randomly swinging a sword, but required a method.

So, the reason why his Sky-Piercing Slash could cleave a hundred meters away, while the battle aura blade dissipated after only ten meters, was not just a matter of the amount of battle aura, but more about not mastering the technique.

Moreover, third-rank Gale Swordsmen also have several exclusive skills that Oliveira had to teach Loy one by one.

However, Oliveira was not fully recovered after all. After demonstrating for a while, he found it difficult to continue.

Loy quickly called him to stop and let him rest. After pondering for a while, he found some clues.

Well, mainly as a result of Deep Blue's in-depth analysis. Loy mainly focused on listening to advice and trying.

After practicing for a while, he called Anger to his side.

He asked, "Have you thought about it? Are you going to the Norman Duchy with me, or staying here?"

Anger pursed his lips and said, "I am willing to follow the young master and teacher."

"Going to the Norman Duchy will be a new challenge. Unlike here, you are familiar with the Brothers Gang and can live more comfortably."

Anger grinned: "But there is no young master here, no teacher, and no motivation for me to move forward."

"Here, I may be able to live a stable life, but the sword and gun in my hand will rust."

"Are you willing to part with those little friends?"

"With the work the young master has given them, they can all live well and no longer need me."

Loy nodded: "Since you have decided, then I will not say anything. You can also pick some people from your little friends.

Anyone who is willing to follow you can be brought along. When we arrive at the earldom, I will grant them a future."

"Okay!"

...

The next day,

Early morning, in the study.

When Leon Vasquez stepped in, his expression was still somewhat inexplicable.

He had only been back for a few days and was still resting at home, but on this day, he was summoned by Loy.

"Lord Loy, what are your orders?"

Loy smiled and said, "I have a job I would like to offer you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Can I know what the specific responsibilities are?"

"Security supervisor for the Roy Fittz Mana Group, responsible for the security of all my properties in Oakland City.

You can recruit from the outside or train a batch of available personnel yourself. As for the specifics, you can arrange them as you see fit."

"What?"

Leon Vasquez was so shocked that he jumped up. The powerful second-rank combat professional seemed at a loss at this moment, not knowing what to do.

Loy said: "You should have heard some of my affairs. In a few days, I will leave Oakland City and go to the Norman Duchy.

When I am not here, someone needs to protect my properties in Oakland City."

"I think you are very good, both in strength and character, so you have this opportunity today."

After all, he was a warrior who walked between life and death. After taking several deep breaths, Leon Vasquez calmed down.

He bowed almost without much consideration and said, "Thank you for your trust, Lord. I will do my best."

Loy nodded and said, "Now that you have agreed, let's talk about your compensation. You should know that I am not a stingy person.

However, I still have additional requirements for you."

Leon Vasquez's expression became serious: "Please speak!"

"In my opinion, the second rank is still a bit weak.

I hope you can achieve the third rank extraordinary in the shortest possible time. Only then can you be worthy of the position of security supervisor of the Roy Fittz Mana Group."

As Loy said this, he saw Leon Vasquez's bitter expression.

The third rank was not a cabbage, how could it be so simple?

Then, he heard Loy continue: "I will not mention the salary and rewards that this position should have, that is what you deserve.

But in addition to that, I will take out two percent of the shares as an incentive."

"If your security work is done well and there are no major problems, and you yourself can achieve the third rank, then I will offer these shares with both hands."

Leon Vasquez only felt that there was something wrong with his ears. After a pause, he asked cautiously: "Are you talking about two percent of the shares of the Roy Fittz Mana Group?"

"Yes!"

He still asked uncertainly: "Is it the Roy Fittz Mana Group that owns the Lightning Magic Machinery Factory, the Ortiz Pharmaceutical Company, and the Northern Railway Company?"

Loy frowned: "I thought I expressed it very clearly."

"Well, Young Master Loy, don't worry, I have taken on the security work. If anyone dares to be presumptuous in my place, I will hunt down his entire family.

As for cultivation, I will definitely do my best. Isn't it just the third rank extraordinary? I will definitely take it down in the shortest possible time and will never let down the young master's expectations!"

At this moment, Leon Vasquez exploded with great confidence.

He was kidding, such a large amount of wealth was close at hand and within reach. Even if he risked his life, he had to take it down.

Loy looked at his expression and was very satisfied.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Sure enough, money can make the devil push the mill, and if there is more money, it is not impossible to make the mill push the devil.

Leon Vasquez left, high-spirited, and was already planning cultivation and security management matters.

The speed of entering the role is definitely beyond imagination!

Loy sat in place, squinting slightly, thinking about something.

There is a saying that people's hearts cannot stand the test, so he really does not want to test people's hearts.

His arrangement for his industry is that Maruna is in charge of production and sales, but the purse belongs to Mira, and the one who controls the force is Leon Vasquez.

A triangle is the most stable!

Separation of powers, and at the same time responsible to Loy, each performing its own duties, each with its own responsibilities, can be maintained for a long time.

Loy does not expect them to develop and expand the industry, but at least they must maintain the status quo.

Even if he goes to the earldom in the future and really inherits the title, this is also his purse and the best way to contact the advanced magic technology of the Habsburg Empire.

Of course, if the Norman Duchy fails, this is also his retreat.

It is worth mentioning that Loy originally intended Anger for the position of security supervisor.

Compared to Leon Vasquez, Anger is a family member and is worthy of trust, but since he wants to follow along, he can only let the bow-wielding man take the position.

...

Ancient Spirit Magic Tower.

Sixth floor.

Gary Mills smiled and said, "Isn't this our future Earl, why, did you think of us ordinary friends today?"

Loy rolled his eyes: "If one day, your friend, the Earl, dies tragically on the spot, remember to attend the funeral?"

Gary Mills' smile froze, and he said awkwardly, "It's so dangerous, don't go, anyway, you are still living a happy life here."

Loy shook his head: "Some things cannot be avoided, and can only be faced head-on."

After a slight pause, he added: "I'm leaving. You have to help me keep an eye on the industries in Oakland City."

"Don't worry, I also have shares there, so there's nothing to say."

Gary Mills patted his chest to assure, then felt inappropriate, turned his head, and smiled at Madam Linda: "You say, right?"

Madam Linda glared at him unhappily, then looked at Loy and said solemnly: "Don't worry, no one dares to reach out to our industry."

"However, you should pay attention to Douglas Hill."

"I'll go see him in a while."

...

Ancient Spirit Magic Tower,

Loy was turned away. It was not that Douglas Hill would not see him, but that he was not there.

He was at the Lightning Magic Machinery Factory. The experiment on steelmaking in blast furnaces had entered a critical stage, and he had not returned for several days.

Finding nothing, Loy was a little helpless and could only turn around and go to the Executive Hall first.

...

Executive Hall,

In the Executive Officer's office.

Baron Miller looked at Loy and asked, "Have you really decided?"

Loy said: "You know the rules of the noble world better than I do. In the current situation, do you think you can avoid the vortex?"

"Sigh..."

Miller didn't say anything, but a long sigh had already explained everything.

After a pause, he said, "I will help you watch over your industries in Oakland City. No one dares to reach out."

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Also, I want you to take a look at this." As he said that, Miller handed over a thick stack of documents:

Loy took it, a little puzzled: "This is?"

"This is about the Raymond family's negotiations with the Empire on magic machinery cooperation and introduction projects.

I got this from the Cabinet through someone, and only after reading it did I realize that your father's investment in magic machinery after the Oakland Multinational Convention can be described as huge!"

"I think you need to know this!"

PS: Huhu, a total of 1309 monthly tickets last month, plus 13 chapters, and finally it's all paid off today!
