Extraordinary Sailing

　　 The royal capital of Sirius, the domed palace, the council hall.

　　 "Your Admiralty is the root of everything at present. If it weren't for the loss of the entire fleet of treasures, how could the kingdom face this dilemma?"

　　"Your accusations are totally groundless. In the face of force majeure, no one can do better than Lieutenant General Doyle Griffits, Captain of the Red Maple!

　　 And your Ministry of Finance shouts every day to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

　　 Our Admiralty has cooperated with you to cut military expenditures by 20%. It was hard to suppress the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. What is your source? "

"This..."

　　 The senior official of the kingdom’s financial department muttered in his heart: ‘If I can open source, I’ll still have a fight with you, a fool, here? ’

　　 He also has a hard time saying that as long as the kingdom’s current difficulties are rich, it’s not a problem, but the biggest problem is that there is no money!

The production capacity of the colonial gold and silver mines was limited due to various reasons; the Dutch bank group, the largest creditor of the kingdom, refused to increase the loan to Hilius based on a risk assessment; currently only the colonies in the southern continent are still functioning normally, but How easy is it to expand the scale of financial resources, unless...

　　 At this time, a civilian general of the Ministry of War stood up, and also pointed the finger at the Ministry of Finance, and was as firm as a kidney attack.

"Starting from the beginning of fiscal tightening last year, you have issued excessive money that is not commensurate with the content of precious metals. As a result, the price of goods has gradually increased to 350% with the inflow of gold and silver in the New World in the past 100 years. It has soared to 500%.

This month, the low-level untouchables in the former Franco Principality in the conquered area of ​​the kingdom launched a large-scale riot and rebellion. Our army has spent a lot of effort to suppress it. And this is not an isolated incident. Many low-level untouchables in the conquered area have already Just about to move.

　　 Where is the root cause, don’t I need to say more? "

　　 The Ministry of Finance became a target of public criticism for a while.

　　‘This...Isn’t it being forced by you? And how can you blame us for things that your Majesty and the Royal Council have agreed on? With such an angry roar in his heart, the senior official could only bite the bullet and quibble:

　　"A temporary increase in prices can be perfectly resolved. By purchasing goods from other countries on a large scale, it is cheap and cost-effective, and at the same time it can transfer domestic risks.

　　 Including the industrially developed tulip countries, the entire country is just labor serving us, no different from those lowly handicrafts in the kingdom. "

　　 "Besides, the plantations and minerals in the major colonies are seriously short of manpower? You can drive all the untouchables who can't live in the kingdom to the colonies, and that's where they deserve the most."

　　 This sentence is right and right. Obviously this is what this "why not eat meat" big man really thinks. But under the influence of totalitarianism, the kingdom has already turned a blind eye to the gap between the rich and the poor.

　　 However, he didn't mention the colony. It's okay. When it comes to the colony, the senior leaders of the kingdom frowned slightly, and all kinds of bad news about the colony of the New World during this period of time appeared in the heart.

　　 No matter how arrogant and sluggish, after a full few months, the senior officials of the kingdom have realized the establishment of a broad anti-Hilius alliance.

　　 And the raiding behavior of this group of **** has greatly disrupted the shipping order between the old and new continents. In the past few months, the loss of both official and private merchant ships has been unprecedented.

　　 The Black Sea Goddess occupied the original "Eye of the Black Sea" after resuscitation, and most of the naval bases along the route were scrapped. The strength of the navy stationed by Hilius has been stretched and he is temporarily unable to maintain the safety of the route.

　　 There is no money to rebuild a new naval base.

　　 has almost fallen into a vicious circle.

　　 To make matters worse, a large-scale and sudden epidemic attacked all the colonies around the Golden Sea. The Deputy King District of New Hilius, the Deputy King District of New Granada, and the Deputy King District of Secret Dragon, including St. Dominic Island, the largest island on the Golden Sea, failed to escape.

　　Although the vice kings are approaching Falettis, who has been affected by the same disaster but has developed a special antidote, and started to purchase that special drug on a large scale, heavy losses are inevitable.

　　 "In this matter, the four deputy kings of the colony are undoubtedly serious malfeasance!"

　　 "How can natural and man-made disasters be blamed on the vice kings?"

　　 "......"

　　 A group of people in the meeting hall were blushing with noise, and in the end, they even turned into random cannons regardless of the enemy and allies, as long as the person on the throne was not allowed to irritate themselves.

　　 This empire meeting has been arguing for two hours, but nothing has been achieved during the period.

The prime minister, the ministers in charge of various ministries, the navy, the war, the think tank...they are also mixed with the royal party, the church faction, the representatives of the nobles, the central representatives of the deputy kings of the colonies, etc. I debut.

　　 But there is only one core theme: "I won't recite this pot, you recite it!"

　　 Philip II, who wears a blue diamond crown and a luxurious dress, feels that he has hardly heard any decent good news since he was engaged to the princess of the Habsburg family.

　　 The only War Department successfully resolved the rebellion, but it just cleaned up another mess.

　　 At this time, I heard that they were quarreling and piercing the sores on the kingdom one by one. Even the ruler of the world's most powerful country couldn't help but wonder whether his country was about to end?

　　 couldn't help but stretched out his hand and squeezed his forehead, and looked at the highest-ranking people sitting below.

　　Hilius, who was founded in the army, is of course respected by soldiers. Under Bartlett, the prime minister of the kingdom, there are Faffman, the Field Marshal and Secretary of War, and Bancroft, the Marshal and Secretary of the Navy.

　　 And... Anduen, the great wizard of the "Cursed School" who has become the chief confidant of the think tank.

　　 They are also the most likely to influence the king and determine the future direction of this country.

　　 may also think that these people have been arguing for too long, after noticing Philip II's gaze.

　　腾——

　　 Field Marshal Faffman, with a shining medal on his chest, slowly stood up like a towering city wall.

　　 bowed slightly to Philip II who was sitting on the throne, even if he tried his best to restrain it, he opened his mouth like thunder, and what he said was like a thunderstorm, instantly making the discussion hall silent.

　　 "Great Majesty, we need a new foreign war!"

　　 At the same time, the prime minister and the admiral looked at each other without saying a word, apparently they both had tacitly agreed.

　　 There is a chaos in the country, and the dissatisfaction of all classes is high. Now, there is nothing more capable of diverting domestic conflicts than a war.

　　On the other side, the great wizard who only serves the king flickered his eyes slightly, and nodded slightly at the majesty who was looking over.

　　 Now, for better or worse, there is a way to break the predicament after all.

　　......

　　 The South Continent across the Treasure Sea, the capital of the Sac Empire colony, the city of Saint Louis.

　　 Although it is approaching late night, many places in this capital city are still brightly lit, and they have a prosperous scene that is no less than that of the local big cities.

　　 A unique garden house stands quietly in the residential area of ​​dignitaries and nobles in the city center. Surrounded by a large park with green trees, the building is small but exquisite in every way.

　　 Even in front of the exquisite iron gate, there are two heavily armed official city guards to guard it day and night. Obviously, the identity of the master here is extraordinary.

　　 "Hey, David, did you see Mrs. Diana's face during the day on duty today?"

　　 "Look... I saw it. Although I wore a flimsy veil when I came back, I bet it must be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.

　　 Your Excellency Governor is really blessed. Not only is he born noble, he can enjoy such a beauty. "

　　 "If I can spend the night in this house, I will be executed immediately by the Governor!"

　　 Putting aside the unrealistic imaginations of the two guards, the governor who ruled here is the only brother of the emperor, Prince Clement.

　　Because the royal families of all countries can trace back to at least one Tier 4 title, as the descendants of the pinnacle transcendents, all the descendants, no matter how talented they are, will naturally become official knights as long as they become adults.

　　 There is no need to go through a thrilling physical fierce test like ordinary people, and they can naturally master the extraordinary power of this knight.

　　 Correspondingly, when the powerful power is passed down in the bloodline, the royal family members of all countries are not very prosperous, just like the Sark Empire only has these two brothers.

　　 Although the prince Clement has a noble background, he is not very talented and knows how much he has. After slowly reaching the peak of the official knight with his physical attributes over the years, he no longer cared about the path of transcendence, let alone political affairs.

　　 Arty artist, addicted to wine and profligate, has become his label.

　　 Even the soldiers at the bottom didn't respect the prince in secret, and it was true that he was envious of his turbulent experience.

　　 However, the prince is a prince after all, and relying on a strong team of staff, although the fifty-two-year-old unmarried **** is not very reliable, at least there is no big trouble.

　　 At the core of the capital, building a beautiful house for the lover and giving extra-standard treatment is nothing more than a trivial matter.

　　While the two guards were chatting, they didn't know that in the love nest that the governor had built for his canary, strangers had already mixed in.

　　 In the middle of the bedroom where the light had already been extinguished, a figure that seemed to be condensed into darkness quietly squatted there, asking in a tone that was very familiar with the hostess here:

　　 "Fanes, can you guarantee that the **** Clement will not send troops when Hilius launches the plan? Neither the kingdom nor Mr. Anduen want the scale of the war to expand endlessly."

A lady wearing only a translucent white gauze nightdress under the moonlight~www.ltnovel.com~ Weakly and bonelessly leaned on the chaise longue by the window, her long hair curled up like a cloud, faintly The exposed skin is as warm as jade and smooth as snow.

　　 In the dimness, her exquisite and graceful posture seemed to be just as maddening. Even the condensed charm of substance makes the black shadow who considers himself a firm mind sway a little.

　　 "Venomous Bee, do you need to have any questions? It's just sitting on the sidelines, not asking him to help Hilius.

　　 It’s difficult for others to reach the sky, but it’s just a trivial matter to me. "

　　 cat-like laziness with a slightly hoarse voice, as intoxicating as mellow red wine.

　　 But the black shadow named "Poison Bee" frowned secretly after hearing this:

　　 "Did you use potions? Bewitched? Cursed control? Isn't this kind of safe?"

The lady lying on her side raised her slender jade hand, and gently brushed her cool cheeks, burning red lips, exquisite clavicle... all the way to her slender and straight thighs, she breathed out a breath of rose The fragrance:

　　 "Hey, do you think a prince who is tightly guarded against extraordinary powers will be controlled by this simple trick? The reason is very simple, he, he just fell in love with me."

　　 stepped on the small stool and walked down from the chaise longue, carrying the room full of moonlight, and strolling in front of the black shadow with demeanor, gently leaned over and put the red lips to his ear:

　　 "Love is crazy and crazy! Coco coco..."

After 　　 finished speaking, he was already shaking with laughter.

　　 The "poisonous bee" who understands the nature of his partner, instead of feeling any charm at this time, there is only a deep chill from the bottom of his heart.

　　Because the wizard name "Fanes" has another alias, and that is-androgynous!
