The Crimson Empire.
It was the beginning of winter. Sitting at his desk, Prime Minister Osborn was lost in thought as he read the letter in his hand.
It was a report from Altina.
In the beginning, Prime Minister Osborn sent Altina to Semuria School in the hope of planting a chess piece in Crosbell. Of course, he also wanted Altina to secretly investigate Starlight Technology. But he did not expect that the report Altina gave him … would be so incredible.
According to the letter, that man could open the door to other worlds and enter other worlds at will?
In other words, there was more than one world?
Although Prime Minister Osborn wanted to think that this was just Altina's one-sided statement, Altina's letter described the situation of that world in detail, including the "iron bird" (helicopter) flying in the sky, as well as a series of descriptions about virus research and a series of descriptions.
Frankly speaking, if it was Miriam, Osborn would definitely think that she was playing with him. Although they were both cyborgs, Miriam's personality was completely different from Altina's. She was playful and mischievous, so it was understandable that she would write nonsense in the letter. But the problem was that Altina was not that kind of person. She was serious and cautious, and she carried out orders perfectly. That was why Osborn sent Altina to Semuria School.
But now … the information he received was completely out of his expectations.
Who was that man? What was he thinking?
Osborn thought for a long time, but he still could not figure it out. If he had this power, he would definitely use it very cautiously. However, according to Altina, the man did not seem to have any intention of hiding it completely. He even used traveling to another world as a kind of "outside school education".
In other words, the man did not care about exposing this matter at all.
Altina also said that the Seven Luminaries Church also knew about this ….
When Osborn first saw this information, he had actually considered whether to use the church. After all, according to the Seven Luminaries Church, Semuria was the only world created by the Goddess. Therefore, if people knew that this was actually just a lie, their faith in the Seven Luminaries Church might be shaken. Therefore, Osborn originally hoped to use this to obtain the church's assistance.
But the man said that the church knew?
The church knew, but left him alone?
What was he trying to do?
If Altina's description in the letter was correct, then the first thought that came to his mind was that the mysterious and terrifying warships came from another world. In that case, did he occupy Clothbell to be the vanguard of another world's invasion of the Semlia continent?
Prime Minister Osborne shook his head again.
No, that's not right.
If the other party's goal was to invade and occupy the empire, they could take advantage of the chaos of the empire's civil war to invade and occupy the empire's territory. However, that man decisively stood on the side of the royal family and helped them suppress the rebellion of the nobles in the shortest time possible.
And the words he said at the banquet … … … …..
"I hope everyone will be able to live peacefully from now on. Don't let any idiots cause trouble and waste my time."
Although Fangzheng did not say it clearly at the time, Osborn understood that it was a warning to him.
Because of this, Prime Minister Osborne had to stop his plan after that. The reason was simple. Among the Sons of Iron and Blood, Rufas died in battle and Rector disappeared. Only Cleya, Miriam, and Altina, who were currently in Semlia School were left. Although Osborn was still able to control the Railway Gendarmerie because of Cleya's existence, Rufas' death had caused him to completely lose the trump card that he had spent years laying out in the noble camp.
This also led to the collapse of Prime Minister Osborn's original plan.
Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible to continue. He could only …
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Osborn was silent for a moment, then he picked up the phone.
"Hello, it's me. Um … Let the Second Lieutenant see me. Okay."
After giving a few simple instructions, Prime Minister Osborn hung up the phone and continued to stare at the letter in front of him. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Second Lieutenant Cleya Rieveldt of the Railway Gendarmerie reporting for duty."
"Come in."
The door opened, and a girl with blue hair walked in. She quickly came to the desk and saluted Prime Minister Osborn.
"My lord, may I ask what business you have with me?"
"Look at this."
Prime Minister Osborn didn't say much. Instead, he handed over the letter in his hand. She took the letter and read it carefully. Along the way, her expression became more and more astonished, and in the end, she could not even close her mouth.
"My apologies … My Lord …"
After a long time, Krya finished reading the letter in her hand and raised her head to look at Prime Minister Osborn in surprise.
"This …"
"Do you believe what's written here?"
"This … I'm not sure. If it was Miriam, I might think she was joking, but since it was written by Altina …"
"It's still hard to believe."
Prime Minister Osborn said, and Clara nodded in agreement. The people of this world all believed in the Goddess of Space, and the Seven Luminaries Church had also said that Semulia was the only world created by the Goddess of Space. This was similar to how people in the past were very sure that the sun revolved around the earth. The contents of this letter were undoubtedly equivalent to the shattering and restructuring of their worldview.
"I don't really believe it either, but I don't think Altina would write something absurd as a report, so … I have a task for you."
Prime Minister Osborn raised his head and stared at Krya. Krya hurriedly stood up solemnly.
"Go to Krosberg and find a way to join Altina's team. Go to that world for an adventure and confirm whether everything she said is true. Also, if it's true, try to rope that man in by all means possible … You understand what I mean, right? "
"…"
Upon hearing Prime Minister Osborn's words, Kryya was taken aback for a moment before nodding hurriedly.
"Yes, my lord. I understand what you mean."
While speaking, Krya showed a serious expression.
"I promise you, no matter the cost, I will complete the task."
"Hmm … I'll leave it to you then."
Osborn lowered his head, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter. He sealed it with wax and handed it to Krya.
"Set off now. Take this letter with you to Croesbell. The rest is up to you."
"Understood."
Krya took the letter and nodded firmly. She turned around and walked out of the office.
After the girl's figure disappeared behind the door, Osborn retracted his gaze and looked out the window at the snow-covered Crimson Empire.
If he was right, then maybe … this man from a different world could solve the curse of the Empire.
But was it really okay to hand over the fate of a country to a person from a different world?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Osborn did not show it. He had planned countless plans in his life, and this time was no different. In any case, the chips had been placed on the table. Now … it was time to see the results.
"Achoo —!!"
Fangzheng sneezed and rubbed his nose.
"You didn't catch a cold, did you, Mr. Fangzheng?"
Hearing the sneeze, Allie asked uneasily. Fangzheng shrugged.
"No, someone must be thinking about me … Sigh, if only it was a beautiful woman."
"Hah …"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Allie was speechless for a while.
"We're here for an inspection. Can't you be more serious?"
"What's the matter? Isn't it good now?"
Fangzheng walked on the street, looking left and right with a leisurely look. Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Allie nodded.
"Yes, it's good …"
As she spoke, Allie raised her head and looked at Krosberg in front of her.
After that, many changes had taken place in Krosberg.
With the Starlight Tower as the center, the architectural style of the whole Krosberg had become more and more modern. For this reason, Fangzheng even launched a proposal called the "City Beautification Project". In short, it was to use government funds to renovate the dilapidated houses and storefronts in various areas, and carry out unified management of the style.
Although Allie thought it was a waste of money at first, she had to admit that after the renovation, the whole Krosberg looked more beautiful and clean, like a piece of art that had been repaired, showing an unprecedented beauty.
"And the streets have become cleaner."
"This is the so-called broken window effect."
Fangzheng looked at the surrounding streets and said casually.
"If it becomes clean, others will hesitate to dirty it. But conversely, if it's dirty and messy to begin with, others won't mind making it even dirtier. Therefore, if you want to maintain the cleanliness of the whole city, you need everyone to work together. "
"There have been more and more foreigners coming to Krosberg recently."
Allie smiled as she looked at the people walking on the streets and sightseeing. Krosberg was now considered to be the most suitable place to live in on the Semriya Continent. As the mayor's assistant, Allie had received many applications to live in Krosberg. All of this could not be seen in the previous Krosberg.
Back then, many people came to Krosberg, but they came here to make money and do some dirty underground transactions, unlike now, when they saw Krosberg as a city suitable for living.
As for Allie, she actually preferred the current Klossbell.
"Where else are we going next?"
"Hmm …."
Allie looked at her notebook when she heard Fangzheng's question. She was taken aback.
"Next … we're going to … the Guerrilla Association."
"Oh?"
"Yes …. The Guerrilla Association will be closed for the day.
Leaving Krosberg …. "
"That's to be expected."
Compared to the melancholic Allie, Fangzheng was very calm. Of course, he knew why. After taking over Krosberg, Fangzheng strengthened the police force and tried his best to promote the idea of "asking the police for help" among the people. He also expanded the police force. This series of measures led to the gradually rising status of the Krosberg police force in the hearts of the people. Now, if the citizens of Krosberg had any problems, they would go to the police for help.
After all, asking for help from the police did not require a reward. Although the Guerrilla Association could also provide help, the guerrillas still needed a reward.
After a few times, the Guerrilla Association was basically running out of money. It would be strange if they did not close down and leave.
Thinking of this, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up into a smile.
"Let's go to the Guerrilla Association then."
