Chapter 927: The Execution Ground (Page 1/1)

"I'm not quite aware of how the Grand Duke of Bavaria made money!" protested Celrent. In his heart, he would rather be more concerned with such frivolous gossip than talk too much about politics, for Bishop Flon had long warned him to stay away from politics.

"Hey, don't you understand? After the Grand Duke of Bavaria gave us the mechanical creations almost free of charge, we had to spend a lot of money to buy energy from the Duchy of Bavaria's agents in the Empire if we wanted to use them. It's a long deal, and energy is a consumable!" shouted Jill with some excitement.

"Can't you use no energy without it?" asked Celrant, curious.

"You don't know, mechanical artifacts are incredibly convenient, and as soon as you start using them, you can't do without them. Compared to the many kinds of mechanical creations with various kinds of uses, those previous handicrafts and magical items are all weak! The mechanical creations have an unparalleled magical power, and people can't let go once they get their hands on them. Looking at Jill's excitement, if it weren't for the fact that there was no energy for mechanical creations now, he would have been able to find a few mechanical creations to show Celent how convenient it was.

"The Grand Duke of Bavaria's trick is absolutely clever, if it weren't for the cataclysm that suddenly destroyed the Duchy of Bavaria, with this hand, he would be equivalent to controlling all the economic lifelines of the empire-" Alfie saw the puzzled look on Selent's face again, so he asked Gil, "I guess after the cataclysm suddenly happened, the imperial capital must have fallen into chaos for a while, right?"

"You guessed it!" said Jill with a sigh of relief, "After the cataclysm, although the natural disasters did not cause direct damage to the imperial capital, the Duchy of Bavaria, which supplied the energy of mechanical creation, was destroyed. When people realized that there was an energy crisis, they realized that life was completely inseparable from mechanical creations, which had replaced various daily tools for thousands of years. So much so that after the mechanical creations ran out of energy and could not be used, some families could not even cook! In retrospect, it was a dark time!"

Jill shuddered as he finished speaking, and he shuddered at the thought of those unbearable days.

"You're exaggerating, aren't you? you won't even be able to cook without the mechanical creation?" asked Syrent, skeptically.

"Oh, I made a slip of the tongue. To be precise, after there are no mechanical creations, many people don't know how to make a fire, so naturally they can't talk about cooking!" Jill quickly added.

"Don't the energy suppliers have some backup energy in store?" asked Celent again.

"Don't mention it, the Duchy of Bavaria doesn't actually have any energy stocks in the hands of the Empire's so-called energy agents!" said Jill indignantly.

"And where does the energy you buy come from?" said Celant, who was even more confused.

"The energy was transmitted from the ground by the Grand Duke of Bavaria using a long-distance method of energy transmission. With the destruction of the Duchy of Bavaria, the underground passage through which energy was transmitted was also destroyed!" said Jill.

"I guess that's why His Majesty the Emperor has a bad feeling for mechanical creations, right?" Alfie interjected.

"You guessed it right!" Jill confirmed Alfie's guess without waiting for him to finish, causing Alfie's face to change several times.

"Why?" Celent was clearly a little unable to keep up with Alfie's jumping train of thought.

"It's simple. Before the cataclysm, looking at the popularity of mechanical creations, you can see that His Majesty the Emperor is not against the use of mechanical creations, otherwise no matter how convenient mechanical creations are, those nobles with a keen sense of smell will never risk angering the emperor to use mechanical creations. "But Gil just made it clear that His Majesty the Emperor has a bad feeling for mechanical creations, so mechanical creations have become rare now. ”

"You haven't said the reason why His Majesty the Emperor has an aversion to mechanical creations!" Celent reminded.

"I'm afraid the reason lies in the channel that transmits energy. If you think that before it was discovered, no one could have imagined that the Duchy of Bavaria would be able to unknowingly create a passage underground, which would be a great threat to the Empire if it was not only used to transmit energy, but also to transport some other things. Alfie smiled mysteriously.

"Anything else, like ......" Celent looked at Alfie's familiar sly smile and realized it.

"Like the military. Alfie whispered, confirming Celrant's guess.

"It's terrible!" Celent finally understood the reason for the change in His Majesty's attitude towards mechanical creations, and if his guess came true, it would simply shake the foundation of the Emperor's rule. From this point of view, the sudden cataclysm can be said to have inadvertently saved the empire - everyone on the mainland knows that the Archduke of Bavaria is not really interested in the empire, and no one should be surprised if he has the ambition to replace it. Even with the oppressive rule of the empire before the cataclysm, there are many people who are happy to see it happen.

"I'm afraid those energy agents are going to be out of luck!" Alfie didn't have to guess to know that after such a secret matter was leaked, whether the Grand Duke of Bavaria had any intention of overthrowing the empire or not, those energy agents would not be spared from the wrath of Rey III.

After the matter was revealed, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered all the members of the dozens of energy agents in the imperial capital to be hanged, and strictly ordered that the corpses should not be collected, as a warning to those with bad intentions. Jill couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, that's a whole 300 lives!

"Wait, you said that all three hundred men were hanged, and that they were not allowed to collect their bodies, and that this order has not been lifted until now?" Alfie asked suddenly.

"That's right. Until now, the three hundred skeleton-only corpses are still hanging on the gallows!" Jill unconsciously carried a hint of serenity in his tone.

"Where is the place of execution?" Alfie asked, a little nervous.

"It's in the west of the imperial capital, the former execution ground. However, after that massacre, due to the existence of the three hundred corpses, the imperial capital execution ground also changed its location, and the old execution ground was deserted. Jill said as he stopped the carriage and turned his head to give them a sinister grin.

"Could this be the execution ground?" Alfie pushed the carriage door open and looked out, only to see the carriage parked in a small square with a radius of several hundred meters.
