Chapter 1534: Recent Status of the Empire

Adele, who returned to Paradise Star with Allen after the Iron Prison incident, didn't know about Horn's news. Hearing the news, she was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Horn is still alive?"

"Well, the old man is not only alive, but also created another legend. It's a pity that he is not here, otherwise you can meet him."

Chatting along the way, the off-road vehicle drove into a small town. The town seems to have just been built, and houses with civil structures can be seen everywhere, especially various shops. Looking at a long street, the various shop signs are dazzling. Leon said: "This town was built by our family. As you can see, there are all kinds of shops here, and it is very convenient to do business. Didn't the message you gave me before say that there are some supplies for the heavenly star to be transported?" Come back to sell, I think you can eat your batch here."

Adele said: "There are a lot of materials brought back this time, most of which are mineral materials. Since this town belongs to your William family, of course there is no problem."

"You won't suffer any disadvantage." Leon stopped in front of a tavern, opened the car door, and Adele jumped out. Leon said: "Come and eat something first, let's talk while eating."

Adele raised her head, and the tavern had a picture of a goat on it. She asked, "Is this also run by your family?"

"Of course not." Leon said with a smile: "We are not so stingy, this tavern is open to siblings. Parents died in the war, and with some savings, they opened a tavern in the town. That's right, my younger brother is even more good at cooking. As for my elder sister, hey, I can only say that she is beautiful and delicious."

Adele seemed to see someone showing a wolf's tail.

Leon took it for granted and said: "Why do you look at me like this? Is it wrong to like a good woman? Besides, if I were not a frequent visitor to this tavern, do you think a pair of sisters and brothers who have no power and power can live here? All right, Adele, we'll each get what we need."

"I thought you would find a woman to marry." Adele said as she walked into the tavern with Leon. Since it was afternoon, the tavern hadn't officially opened yet. The store was dimly lit, two men at the bar were drinking, and there was a drunk lying on the table by the window, other than that, there were no other customers.

Seeing them coming in, the two men at the bar looked over and saw that it was Leon who nodded. Leon said to Adele: "What's so good about being married, it's not as exciting as picking up girls. Besides, what I'm after is not physical pleasure, but the moving process of meeting girls. Don't confuse me with other men. "

After speaking, he gestured to the two men, and they left the bar and found a corner to sit down. Adele knew that they were Leon's people, and probably arranged to protect the siblings in the tavern. She didn't point it out, and sat with Leon on the high chair in front of the bar. A graceful woman behind the bar was wiping the wine glass, and soft music was playing from a speaker not far away. Seeing Leon, the woman smiled and said, "What do you want?"

"Old rules, and ask Pete to bring us a roast chicken, don't forget I want tomato juice."

Leon nuzzled at Adele: "As for this lady, she prefers black pepper sauce."

"Okay, wait a minute." The woman walked towards the back kitchen.

Adele looked at Leon in surprise, that woman's appearance was only passable, but compared to Leon's former girlfriends, she was not the slightest bit worse. Leon spread his hands and said, "Why, it's not bad to change the taste once in a while."

Soon, the woman came back and skillfully mixed two glasses of cocktails for the two of them. Leon pushed one of the cups to Adele's eyes and said, "Try it, I'm sure you'll like it."

Adele took a sip, and the taste was okay. But for someone from a famous family like her, the woman's bartending skills can't be called superb, just passable. But Leon was intoxicated from drinking, so he didn't know whether he was really intoxicated or trying to make women happy. Adele thought that the latter possibility was more likely.

After chatting with Leon for a few words, the woman could see that they had something to say, but they didn't bother, and went to the side to pack their things. Leon put down his glass, exhaled alcohol and looked at Adele and said, "It seems that you are doing well in Paradise Star?"

"how to say,

We're betting right. "Adele tapped the rim of the cup lightly with a slender finger: "After Allen left the Paradise Star, Sword Lord Mason stood up to testify that the imperial prime minister appointed by Howson was to kill Tangliou murderer. Coupled with Howson's previous arbitrariness, it was a big disappointment. After repelling the Shadow Principality, we support the second prince Julian to go north. Just last month, we captured the imperial capital Olisga. Howson died in the melee, and Julian has now succeeded him. So you see, we're in pretty good shape. "

"Sounds good."

"That's right. Although Alan has been gone for almost a year, because those of us are still fighting on Paradise Star, and we have made great efforts in the war in the north and the imperial capital, so Julian overcame all opinions and awarded Alan The title of honorary marquis, as for the territory, it will be temporarily managed by Edward. Not to mention Allen, even Edward has been promoted to earl. Now our territory is extremely wide, and it can be said that most of the south is in our pocket. In addition to Mi The Catholicism of Father Luo and Vera is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are hundreds of thousands of congregants in the south, so now in the empire, our influence can be imagined."

At this time the roast chicken was ready, a young man came up with two pots of roast chicken, put it in front of Leon and the two with a smile and said: "Please use it slowly."

Adele cut a piece of chicken and chewed it in her mouth. It tasted good. She ate and said, "But it's not without obstacles."

"Oh, someone is jealous of your power?" Leon didn't find it strange at all. He grew up in a big family, and he was very familiar with this kind of power dispute.

"Perhaps, anyway, a few days before I came back, Olis Gary reported his objection to the Marquis of Allen. I don't know where those people got the news, pointing out that Allen is a person from outside the sky, and put our past The deeds were also dug up. Although Julian immediately responded that he did not believe this kind of thing, when I saw this young majesty once, I could feel that the way he looked at us was a little different."

"Then what are your plans?"

"Edward said that compared to Allen's identity, Julian is more afraid of our army and strong men. In this war to the north, the combat power we have shown is close to that of the dragon army of the empire, especially the dragon army. Our ordnance has alerted the emperor. So after returning to the south, Edward has carried out an army plantation. In addition to reassuring His Majesty, he also strives for excellence in the army and saves military expenses. Edward says it kills three birds with one stone."

Leon smiled and said: "I would do the same, but this kind of determination is not easy. It seems that Alan picked up a treasure, and there are such talents who stay on Paradise Star. No wonder he just left."

Adele rolled her eyes and said, "He also had no choice but to leave."

"All right, all right, I owe you." Leon raised his hands in a sign of surrender.

Adele said: "However, even if Julian had any thoughts, he didn't dare to express them immediately. Now that he has just taken over, his background is shallow, and he doesn't have three or five years to cultivate his own strength. What's more, our territory is the gateway to the south of the empire. Once something happens, it will directly affect the foundation of the empire. Before Julian took office, he mentioned exchanging a fertile territory in the middle of the empire, but Edward declined Yes. After all, the south is where our foundation lies, and only by gaining a firm foothold there can the empire be feared."

"Besides, there are natural allies like Ruola in the south, and Tieqiang Ridge as a barrier. Regardless of the geographical environment or the relationship between people, we have an advantage. Julian wants to use a piece of central territory to quietly wipe out our advantages. But I underestimated Edward too much."

Leon laughed, patted Adele on the shoulder and said, "Let's not talk about that, come back this time and have fun for a few days. As for your business, I will let others watch, and you are indispensable. If you don't worry, I will In addition to handing over the supplies of your Paradise Star to Beth Kede, the rest can cooperate with us."

Adele picked up the wine glass and lightly touched Leon's glass, saying, "That's why I'm looking for you, but first let me explain that we are still very poor, so we don't have any commission for you."

Leon spread his hands and said, "Am I like the kind of person who would spend money with my brother?"

Adele looked at him seriously, and only when she saw Leon's face almost fell off did she smile: "Okay, I know you are not."

Leon breathed a sigh of relief.

It was evening when the two walked out of the tavern, the sky was getting dark, and the town was brightly lit, illuminating their way back.

On the other side of the distant star road, the Balegon Empire on Paradise Star is also shrouded in darkness. The most prosperous city in the south today is not Dawn Castle, nor Bauhinia Ridge, but Ark Harbor, which occupies the north-south transportation hub. After the death of Count Aubain, this port city went downhill for a while, but after the marriage of Jola and Orlando, the city gradually improved. A major turning point came after receiving the second prince Julian. When Julian successfully sat on the throne of the Fort Dawn Palace, the city began to attract attention.

Now Ark Harbor has become a city that never sleeps. Even in the middle of the winter night, the lights of the city have never been extinguished.

The cathedral is certainly a sight to behold in this city. Catholicism has been deeply rooted in the empire, and its teachings are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are hundreds of thousands of believers in the south. And as the origin of this church, there will naturally be a cathedral in Ark Harbor. Especially in the past few days, when priests Milo and Vera returned to this place, the threshold of the cathedral was almost flattened by the believers. But it was late at night, and there was no one else in the church except for a few nuns who were praying. So when they saw Father Miro walk in, they were all surprised. After all, this priest got up later and went to bed earlier than anyone else.
