Chapter 926: Clichés (Page 1/1)

While the old duke and Bardo parted, Alfie and Celent were already sitting in Gil's carriage and on their way to the branch of the Holy See. The imperial capital was so large that even with a carriage, after nearly an hour of travel, they had only covered a third of the entire journey.

Along the way, Celent fully understood what a real chatter was, and compared to Gil, the great troll warrior Zambit could only be regarded as a rap at best, and Gil never stopped talking along the way, telling the two of them about the recent plight of the Holy See branch that Celent was eager to know about and the anecdotes about mechanical engineering that Alfie was interested in.

"You mean there are still mechanical carriages in the Imperial Capital?" "Alfi Elfi keenly grasped one of the details and asked, "How did I hear that there is only one in the Imperial Museum?"

"Of course. Even after the cataclysm, although the Duchy of Bavaria had fallen, the mechanical creations of every wealthy family were preserved, but because of His Majesty's hatred of the Duchy of Bavaria, no one dared to speak out blatantly. In fact, many people speculate that there are more mechanical creations in the palace that resemble mechanical carriages than ordinary people imagine!" Jill said proudly, these gossips and secrets are not something that ordinary people can know. That is, he is exquisite, and he has heard a lot of gossip from the passengers he has carried.

"His Majesty the Emperor is really enlightened enough, and people like you can talk about His Majesty in private. Alfie quietly probed.

"That's natural, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and martial, and he doesn't care about these little things at all!" replied Jill with a red face, and his pride was overflowing.

Alfie and Celent glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep worry in each other's eyes, if the current Emperor Rey III was really so wise and powerful, then it would be reasonable for the Holy See branch that had lost the support of the Holy Mountain Headquarters to be hit so hard that it could not raise its head.

"Let's talk less about politics. Alfie noticed that Jill had spoken too loudly and had already attracted the attention of the passers-by, and although he was still curious about the political environment of the imperial capital, he cautiously diverted the topic for the sake of safety.

Although the turmoil in Wycoburg has subsided on the surface, God knows what Rey III thought in his heart, and how much information the Empire had about that war. As the protagonist of it, Alfie doesn't want to be so ostentatious, in case it is not good if someone notices it.

As for the general trend of the imperial capital, it is about to reach the branch of the Holy See anyway, even if Celent does not reveal his identity, with Vincent's relationship, it should not be difficult to find out some information.

"Of course, everything is up to you. Jill said with a smirk. He also noticed that he was a little carried away just now, although it sounded good on the surface, as a real person from the imperial capital, he knew better than anyone how terrible the spy organization directly under His Majesty the Emperor and known as "Yingsaidi" was.

"Let's talk about the mechanical carriage. Listen to you, this shouldn't be a taboo, right?" Alfie asked empathetically. He heard a lot of different flavors from Jill's slightly trembling answer.

"Although His Majesty the Emperor does not like mechanical creations, there is no will or law on the prohibition of mechanical creations, so it should be no problem for us to talk about them privately. Jill replied cautiously.

"You mentioned that the current mechanical creations are useless due to lack of energy?" Alfie picked up one of the words from earlier.

"Hey, I have to mention the Grand Duke Augusta of Bavaria, the most cunning profiteer I have ever met!" said Gil, as he drove the carriage down a small road.

"What an interesting review. Alfie said uncertainly.

"Not really!" said Gil, shaking the reins in excitement, "all mechanical creations produced in the Duchy of Bavaria must rely on a unique source of energy that can only be produced in the Duchy of Bavaria. In the aftermath of the cataclysm, as the Duchy of Bavaria vanished, this energy source became a rarity. The guys from the Academy of Magic and the Royal Apothecary Guild don't know how much effort they put into it, and they haven't found a replacement. So those mechanical creations are basically paralyzed now, haha~"

"Sounds like you're gloating. Septe asked, confused.

"Not really, but it's a good thing for us to have all the mechanical creations crippled, otherwise people would have hired those convenient and fast mechanical carriages, and we would all be starving to death. Jill accidentally said what was in his heart.

"Oh?" Alfie's face changed slightly, and he asked lightly: "As far as I know, the Duchy of Bavaria has been rising for thousands of years, and with the ability of the Grand Duke of Bavaria, so many years are enough time for mechanical creations to replace all traditional professionals like you, but I didn't expect that there are still remnants until now." ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" cried Gil, "or how else to say that the Grand Duke of Bavaria was an out-and-out profiteer! You probably don't know that, except for those mechanical creations made of luxurious materials for the upper classes, the mechanical creations of the Duchy of Bavaria for the common people have almost taken the mode of giving them away for free! That is to say, all people can obtain any mechanical creation within the scope of the law for free as long as they provide proof of identity. But—"

"But the energy to power these mechanical creations requires you to pay for them, right?" Alfie guessed with a smile.

"You're so wise, you can even guess!" complimented Jill.

"Hehe, this way of making money is not only for the imperial capital, I have also heard a little from other places, but the way to obtain mechanical creations in those places is not as loose as that of the imperial capital. Alfie stopped the questioning Selent with his eyes, at least in the small town of Frosacán, they had never heard of such a whimsical way of doing business.

"It's better for you bards to be a profession and you can travel everywhere, unlike those of us who grew up in the imperial capital, but are limited by the household registration policy, and can't easily leave without a valid reason. Jill said enviously. Imperial law allows only bards and mercenaries to move freely within the empire without being restricted by the hukou policy.

"There is some truth to the hukou policy implemented by the empire. Alfie commented, but when he saw Jill turn around and cast a surprised glance, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little overly supportive, and hurriedly covered it up: "Otherwise, we bards will have no way to live!"

"Hehe, you're right. Gilgan chuckled twice and turned his head back, his eyes turning twice at an angle that Alfie couldn't see.
