Rio Grande do Sul.
This was the southernmost administrative region on the east coast of the Federation of Golden Palms. It was also one of the most important agricultural and pastoral regions in the federation.
The output of soybeans, wheat, and corn accounted for about half of the total output of the Federation of Golden Palms. Rice accounted for a quarter, wine accounted for three-quarters, and the number of cattle and sheep was also in the top three of the states. It also supplied most of the wool raw material for the entire federation's textile industry.
Over the years, their industry and commerce had flourished, represented by textiles, mining, meat products, tanning, tobacco, metallurgy, machinery, and shipbuilding.
Although it was not directly under the jurisdiction of the six standing councilors, its level of wealth was among the top of the 27 states in the federation.
In a beautiful seaside manor far away from the noisy factory area.
Although it was daytime.
However, in the study, which was exquisitely decorated and covered with a thick woolen carpet, the door was locked, and the purple velvet curtains were pulled tight. Instead, an "electric light" that was still a novelty in an ordinary family was turned on.
In the room, only two gentlemen with extraordinary bearing were sitting on the sofa. They were tasting the high-quality cigars produced by the manor, puffing out smoke and looking like they were floating in the air.
Of course, when the gentlemen smoked high-quality cigars, it was inevitable that they would pair it with some sweet wine.
The high-quality rum brewed from sugarcane would have a charming vanilla flavor after being aged in oak barrels for many years. The taste was easy-going and gentle.
The residents along the coast of the "Golden Sea" liked to pair it with cigars, and it had also influenced the fashion of half of the New World.
After exhaling a puff of white smoke, the owner of the manor, the older gentleman of the two, said seemingly unintentionally, "Mr. Grover, you have invited me to invite you to the manor.
We have invited you to the manor as a guest because we have good news to share with you. We have recently discovered a rich mine with a grade of 20 grams per ton. It is within the borders of our state. "
"Hahaha, congratulations, Mr. Blour. After this news is released, the stock price of the Rio Grande Mining Company will definitely skyrocket.
It's not impossible for you to compete for the position of the richest man in our state.
When the time comes, the Church of Wealth might even award you with the honorable title of an honorary bishop. Even extraordinary powers are not completely out of the question. "
The shrewd man known as Member of Parliament Grover raised his glass of amber wine and clinked it lightly with the owner of the manor.
Neither of the two gentlemen were ordinary people. The owner of the manor was a major mine owner and capitalist, and the other was an elected member of the state legislature of Rio Grande do Sul. He was very influential in the state.
However, the owner of the mine, Blour, seemed to be troubled by something.
He flicked the cigarette ash in his hand and sighed softly.
"Hehe, that's good news, but there's a problem that really vexes me.
This was because there was also a huge lead mine that had a total reserves of about 40 million tons.
If they couldn't find a way to sell these things, they would just be rocks! The battery factory that Jimmy just started building can't handle so much lead. "
At this moment, Councilman Grover finally understood the reason why his patron had invited him over as a guest. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea. He clapped his hands vigorously.
"Hahaha, congratulations, Mr. Blour! I also have a piece of good news for you!
Yesterday, the state legislature had already approved the state government's application. We will be building a new city water supply system all over the state. Laying lead pipes that are easy to process would be the best. "
Blour was overjoyed when he heard that.
"Hahaha, thank you, Councilman Grover, for helping me with this matter!"
"You can hold a banquet some other day. I'll be responsible for inviting Speaker Adelaide and Governor Lev. Oh, yes, you can also invite our most beautiful socialite, Madam Leticia, and this matter will be settled."
"To our common cause, to our charming wealth, cheers!"
"To the residents of Rio Grande do Sul, cheers!"
Obviously, this was the consequence of the market.
The free market was placed above the public interest. It was common for those in power to seek power for rent, and naturally, it was used by the capitalists.
As for the terrible consequences such as lead poisoning that the citizens would inevitably suffer over a long period of time, it wasn't within their scope of consideration.
Leeks should have the self-awareness of leeks!
Right at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the study.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"What's the matter?"
As the owner of this place, Blour frowned slightly. He had already instructed the servants and bodyguards in the manor not to disturb him unless it was extremely urgent.
Although the matter had been discussed, the unexpected interlude was still unpleasant.
However, after knocking on the door three times, the intruder actually pushed the door open directly as if the lock didn't exist at all.
Creak!
The two of them had already noticed that the outside of the room had become dead silent.
The moment they realized that something was wrong, the two of them rushed to the wall at the same time. They each grabbed a shotgun hanging on the wall, and aimed the muzzles at the slowly opening door.
In the age of the great voyage, especially in the New World where danger lurked everywhere, there was no adult male who had no military training and no sense of crisis at all.
However, when they saw the intruder's appearance, they couldn't help but lower their muzzles to the ground.
It was a perfect woman wearing a wine-red dress and golden high heels.
Her long golden hair was as dazzling as the sun, her green eyes were as clear as a lake, and her skin was as fair as the best porcelain.
Her aura seemed to be able to satisfy all men's fantasies. An innocent and naive young girl, a gentle and lovely lady, a strong big sister …
The two of them were stunned. With just one look, they fell hopelessly in love with this unfamiliar woman.
In the end, all of her image and aura converged into a high and mighty queen. Even if she was looking at people with her sharp chin, the two of them felt that it was so natural.
Therefore, neither of them realized that the [Silver Talisman] they had exchanged from the church was quickly turning black and decaying. Then, it turned into pitch-black residue that scattered on the ground.
After a few breaths.
The important figure who had just been discussing the plan to get rich and decide the fate of millions of people while chatting and laughing was now groveling at the feet of this woman in the most humble manner of a bootlicker.
Even Senator Grover, who had the [Democratic Fighter] profession, didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
"Ah! Your Majesty, please allow your servant Grover (Blour) to offer you the highest respect. "
The two of them went forward on their knees and were about to fight to kiss the back of her smooth feet, but the woman stepped on their heads. They could only turn around and kiss the ground beside her feet.
She stepped on the two of them a few times with slight disgust, but in exchange, the two of them had a look of enjoyment.
"Heh, the material world is really simple and honest. It's a good place for outstanding people! If it wasn't for this layer of human skin, I would have thought that we had returned to the lower realms. "
She casually placed a wooden box that she carried with her on the table and took out an eyeball with a green pupil.
She looked at it for a while as if she was admiring a piece of jewelry before slowly putting it into her red mouth. She sucked on her blood-stained fingertips as if she hadn't had enough.
"Although it's not as good as my palace, it's barely enough to live in. The [Spiritual Origin] of the New World? A pillow really comes when I'm sleepy. "
The shadow on the ground behind her danced, and in an instant, it occupied more than half of the wall.
It was the image of a strange devil.
It had a total of three heads: a bull's head, a human's head, and a ram's head. It also had a snake's tail that kept twisting. In its left hand was a black dragon, and in its other hand was a spear with a flag.
This was one of the [Supreme Four Pillars], the monarch who ruled the north. She was also Queen Asmodei, who had peerless beauty and powerful strength. Her rank was the "Prince of Darkness".
She could teach people mathematics, astronomy, geometry, and handicrafts. She could also give people true knowledge and make them unconquerable. She could also reveal the location of treasures. At the same time, she was in charge of the [Lust], one of the seven strongest evil forces!
In normal times.
The Demon Gods were all cowards, and they had layers upon layers of disguises. In the past, they hid in all parts of the material world. Now, there was a huge bait in the New World, and they began to become restless.
This "Lust Demon God" of the [Supreme Four Pillars] was just one of them.
.....
Just as Elvin had guessed at the beginning, as the throbbing in the depths of the New World became more and more obvious, the north where the Duchy of Garot was located naturally could not stay out of it.
Moreover, as more and more Demon Gods gathered here, their style of doing things became more and more flamboyant, and even gradually to the point of a group of demons dancing wildly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One in front and two behind, three streams of light streaked across the night sky.
"Why do you keep chasing me? The men and women of Sande Town are madly in love with me, but it's all voluntary.
As long as you pay a little price, you can obtain supreme enjoyment. Not only will those fellows not thank you, but they will also hate you to the core! "
Elvin and Kingfisher, who were chasing closely behind, were both strong-willed people, but they ignored the Demon God's words.
"Oh, I understand. Why don't you use the sky as your blanket and the earth as your bed, and let me, your big sister, help you experience the bliss of this world? Or … Do you still want me to personally demonstrate? Hehehe … "
The existence wrapped in pink divine light in front let out a burst of wanton laughter as it flew.
Sytry: The Demon God ranked 12th among the 72 Demon Gods. Her [Mythical Form] is a leopard with wings, but according to the summoner's request, she can also transform into a peerless beauty. It can also be said that she is attractive to both men and women, old and young.
She is in charge of [Lust] and [Passion], and can make men and women fall in love and sacrifice themselves.
Although she was not as good as the "Lust Demon God" of the [Supreme Four Pillars], she was still an extremely troublesome fellow.
