Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 108 The Princess's Purpose
Luke waited patiently for Sandpaper's answer.
Although Professor Greyfarley's eternal life secret technique is not feasible, the girls transformed by the secret technique experiment are really good at fighting. After professional training, their comprehensive combat power can generally reach the level of four stars. And because their spirits have been greatly damaged, after the brain transformation, they have become efficient killing machines.
When we met Sandpaper on Diagon Street this time, we certainly couldn't let her get away. Sandpaper was able to kill Professor Greyfarry while he was under his mental control. She was the strongest among the transformed girls.
The overall strength in the early stage is four stars, and in the later stage it can reach five stars.
It’s just that Sandpaper’s personality is that he’s all talk and no action. He talks a lot but usually doesn’t really do anything.
He's a relatively likable character.
According to the normal plot, Sandpaper would be caught, and then lose himself after his brain is transformed.
How can players tolerate this?
The story begins!
Save...the cold and emotionless beautiful girl killer!
Is it burning?
I have to admit that the game planner really understands the players' hearts.
This time Luke is going to change the plot of Sandpaper. It is not good to let her become a five-star combat girl, but to let her be a four-star technical girl.
"How can you make me trust you?" Sandpaper remained wary.
Luke said, "Time and thought will allow you to trust me. It will take some time to replace Pisco's arm. He will stay with you. You can think about it carefully.
It won’t be too late to make a decision after I have my arm replaced and go to the Secret Affairs Bureau in Cape District to settle the fees.
We are leaving. ”
Pisco on the operating table shouted reluctantly: "Goodbye, Detective!"
Luke didn't stay in the sandpaper shop for long. If he wanted to cut a piece of meat in the northern mining area, he still had a lot of work to do.
…
Assassin's Tavern.
It was very quiet here during the day, and the lizardman Barry was wiping the bar very conscientiously.
In the corner, Viscount Isklan sat opposite a man in a windbreaker and a hood, with two glasses of ale on the table.
"Sir, the Cape District Secret Service organized another demonstration today. Although the scale was smaller than yesterday, it was spread all over the city. In addition, there were thousands of people sitting in the square of the City Hall, and there were also many people in the central park.
Inspector Meteor even sent out Imperial spies to protect the demonstrators."
Viscount Iscolan said: "Meteorite is a real talent for coming up with such a disgusting idea! Her Royal Highness the Princess must have some ulterior motive in sending such a capable senior agent to the Cape District.
What has been the response from the City Hall and the Parliament?
“ The government office has no way to deal with these non-violent demonstrations. They send sheriffs to drive them away, and then they leave. When the sheriffs leave, they come back or move to another place.
There were many newspaper reporters guarding the City Hall Square and the Central Park, waiting for the sheriff to take action.
In parliament, Councillor Ibrahim called for the establishment of an investigation team into misconduct in the city's security department and also proposed a motion to repair Cape Harbour.
Capitalist legislators all expressed support; establishment legislators all expressed opposition; technical legislators did not express any opinions... Both bills are under discussion."
“For such a large project as the renovation of Cape Harbor, Councillor Ibr can easily convince the other two councillors of the capital faction. Councillors of the technical faction generally do not intervene in such issues, so if Councillor Ibr wants the bill to be passed, he needs to win over a pro-establishment councillor.
The demonstration is to put pressure on Congressman Virgil to bow his head.”
"My Lord, will Councillor Virgil bow his head?"
"Does he have any choice? In the face of this crisis, ending it early can reduce the losses. There are many people in the government office eyeing his position.
What he could do was to take control of the renovated Cape Port in his own hands so as to provide blood transfusion to the upstarts of the empire.
I can probably figure out the princess's purpose in sending Meteorite to the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau."
"Control Cape Harbor?"
"In recent years, the new nobles in the imperial capital have been very active, thinking about promoting the establishment of a national parliament. After all, there are only a few cabinet ministers, and there are not enough for the new nobles who want to compete for power.
A large part of the money smuggled by Nutao City was used for bribery and lobbying, which also intensified the competition for the crown prince. This money should have belonged to the empire. The empire is so large, and there are frequent wars on the border. The taxes paid by Nutao City have not increased for five consecutive years. "
"These parasites have betrayed the trust placed in them by the royal family. Hereditary are the backbone of the empire. We can report what happened here to His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely punish them."
"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know? Raging Waves City is under the control of the new nobles. Even the Secret Service has been bribed by them, so they can't get the key evidence of their smuggling."
"Sir, Inspector Meteorite has come to Cape District to take up his post at this time, and his target is Cape Port. Is it possible that the princess wants to investigate the smuggling in Nutao City..."
The pub fell silent.
Viscount Iscolan picked up the wine glass and drank slowly.
The battle for the imperial crown prince seems to be a choice between the eldest prince and the second prince, but the abilities demonstrated by the eldest princess have made some people turn to her.
But the eldest princess never expressed her intention to compete for the throne.
Now that the princess has placed such a chess piece in the Cape District, what benefit will it bring to her to control Cape Port?
The new rich in the imperial capital were betting on both sides, and the money from Nutao City was flowing into the pockets of the two princes at the same time.
Investigating the smuggling case... is equivalent to putting oneself in opposition to the new noble forces and offending both princes.
Don't investigate the smuggling case... Control Cape Port to limit smuggling and increase the empire's fiscal revenue? I'm afraid it will only work for one or two years, and the smuggling channels can be gradually transferred to other places.
Smuggling by yourself... Can you handle such a thing yourself?
The princess sent Meteorite to Cape District in order to control Cape Port, but what was her real purpose?
This eldest princess is so unfathomable!
"Have you found out anything about the gold that was lost on the Shamrock?"
"Reporting to the Lord... there is no news. However, because of the demonstration, the conflict between Councillors Ibel and Virgil has intensified.
Congressman Virgil said that Congressman Ibel was responsible for the lost gold; Congressman Ibel said that Congressman Virgil was the mole. The parliament and their two representative factions were very divided, which provided us with a lot of information sources. "
After thinking for a moment, Viscount Iscolan said, "After the parliament passes the issue of repairing Cape Harbor, you will find someone to assassinate Councillor Ibul."
"My Lord, you are not trying to win over Councillor Ibel."
"The purpose of assassinating him was to win him over."
"I see."
"Also, mobilize all our connections and informants to collect evidence of smuggling in Raging Waves City. I will help Inspector Meteorite and Her Royal Highness the Princess to present a great gift to His Majesty."
"Yes, sir."
