Rosetta City of the Rosetta Commercial United Nations was a very interesting city.
What kind of impression would people have when they thought of a commercial city? Presumably, most people's first reaction would be openness.
Openness was the prerequisite for commercial exchanges. A country that was completely closed to the outside world was often described as a closed country. It was often accompanied by poverty and rampant smuggling. A closed country for a long time was likely to make it unable to keep up with the pace of the times, and gradually fall behind and be eliminated.
Rosetta City was a city that was completely different from a closed country, but visually, it had a sense of heaviness that was completely different from the open country.
Rosetta City was tall and deep, and its defensive facilities were the best in Xi Ya. It was far better than Lorraine, the capital of St. Maester, which had never been invaded by foreign enemies. However, after passing through the tightly guarded walls, the prosperity inside was unprecedented in Xi Ya. The two could be said to form a sharp contrast.
It couldn't be helped. Rosetta City was a city that had been robbed more than ten times in history. The local residents generally had some hereditary psychological diseases, such as "fall phobia", "food anxiety", etc. The specific symptoms were very obvious, and the general manifestation was that they liked to be big and thick.
The city walls, moats, and all the fortifications could be thicker or higher. Weapons had to be ready, and the inventory had to be always full. Not to mention the food, which was a good ancestral habit of the residents of Rosetta City.
This was a city that was afraid of being robbed, but it had to be said that this idea of being vigilant in times of peace was actually very good. In fact, after the withdrawal of Austin's troops a hundred years ago, the Theocracy gradually stopped interfering in the affairs of Rosetta. The nearby small countries had been restless for a while, but they basically stopped after walking around Rosetta.
Damn it, why did you stop fighting? The first thing you did was to build the city walls. Are you Rosetta people sick?
This was the common thought of many kings of the nearby small countries after visiting Rosetta City.
At that time, Luo Ya's grandfather, Bran, had just signed a marriage contract with Sorofia. According to Bran's thinking at that time, the two families would be connected by marriage in ten years' time. Since Sorofia was one of his own, he naturally had to protect her. Furthermore, Akat Hill didn't have anything they wanted. They only had enough soldiers and specialized in fighting. The kings of the surrounding small countries discussed for a long time and realized that they might not be able to defeat Sorofia even if they tied themselves together.
Therefore, the kings slapped their thighs and decided to return to their own homes and find their mothers. This was one of the good relations between King Lochet and Akat Territory at that time.
In fact, in the Rose Commercial United Nations, although the Akat family's reputation wasn't as high as in the Theocracy, they still had a lot of influence, especially in the military.
In the past, when the Akat Territory helped Lochet defeat the Austin Empire, although it was a great victory, the Austin Empire wasn't a good-for-nothing. They also brought some casualties to the Akat Army. Many of the soldiers who participated in the war died in this land. At that time, many of the soldiers were buried on the spot. After peace, the later generations came to move the graves and pay their respects.
The people of Rosetta were quite particular. They had built a cemetery for the good neighbors who had helped Rosetta win the war to establish their country. In the past, the Akat family would send people here every year, but in the past twenty years, when most of the generation had passed away, the frequency had decreased to once every five years.
From Lochse's military headquarters up, the most senior veterans and generals were often pro-Akkat, and at the same time, they were extremely hostile to the Austin Empire. Many of them even knew each other, and they were also staunch opponents of Bruce's marriage.
A marriage with the Austin Empire, even if it was a stable ducal family, in their eyes, was bowing to the invaders. It was an insult to their past achievements and trampling on Rosetta's ideals. In fact, Bruce's wife, Adelisa, was indeed a serious believer in the bloodline theory.
At that time, this could be said to have caused an uproar among the senior officials of Rosetta. Many people were fiercely opposed. The attitude of the military towards this woman was imaginable. The pressure from all sides was one of the reasons why Adelisa returned to her country.
However, although the disgusting descendant of the invaders left, it didn't mean that the matter was over. In fact, Adelisa's actions still left a bad effect in Rosetta, and that was the impact on Xia Luote.
Although Xia Luote was a member of the Sorofia family, she was half Austin. This was a serious disadvantage in the eyes of some old guys. Not to mention, her mother was an idiot who was brainwashed by the bloodline theory. This family background was really weak as an heir. This was also the reason why Bruce wanted Xia Luote to solve a family problem.
But now, Bruce knew that these were not needed anymore.
In the conference room, looking at the Golden Soul that drew a golden trajectory in the air and manipulated freely like an extension of the spell, the Sorofia family master, Bruce, who was expressionless, blushed. He clenched his fists, and his eyes widened. He was obviously very excited.
"This, this is the 'living gold' of the Kingdom of Sorofia recorded in the ancient books? It's amazing! I didn't expect there to be such a curse vessel in the world! "
Bruce was moved by the reappearance of the curse vessel that carried the glory of his ancestors. However, what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. What followed was a series of novel curses, the ultimate expansion of the bloodline ability, the Balance of Fate, the general design structure and piloting method of the golden battleship, etc. Xia Luote sent them one by one. Bruce went from excitement to surprise, and finally, he was completely numb.
It couldn't be helped. The things that Xia Luote presented were so shocking that Bruce couldn't react for a while. He could only ask his trusted scholar, Andrew, to quickly examine them. But in fact, even without the examination, Bruce knew that those lost supernatural curses and techniques were definitely not fake because every one of them could vaguely resonate with his bloodline.
There was no doubt that Xia Luote had made a great contribution to the family this time. She had completely solved the dilemma of the House of Sorofia, which had been plaguing the family for hundreds of years. In terms of importance, it was far more important than the Fringe and Twin Horn Harbor.
With these legacies, the House of Sorofia would be able to get rid of the predicament of relying on the supernatural families as their main fighting force within the next ten years. They would truly become as prosperous as the Angel Family, Heathcliff.
'Great contribution' was no longer enough to describe Xia Luote. It should be said that she had made a great contribution. With this achievement, Xia Luote's position would no longer be shaken by anyone. She would definitely become the next leader of the House of Sorofia.
With such a joyous occasion, the meeting room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere. The leaders of several important departments were very excited. However, the military, the one who applied these techniques, the old man sitting next to Bruce, was rather uncomfortable.
Eugene Sorofia, the oldest member of the Sorofia Family, was an old man who had personally experienced the war to establish the House of Sorofia a hundred years ago. He was currently the representative of the Eagle Faction who hated Austin to the core. He believed that the two countries would go to war. Therefore, he didn't like his descendant who had Austin's bloodline, especially when she was a woman.
The identity of a woman was an unstable factor for a ruler. What if she had a screw loose like her mother and believed in some bullshit bloodline theory and married into Austin with her country? Wouldn't that be a total loss?
Xia Luote's background made this suspicious old man very unhappy. Therefore, even though this discovery made him blush with excitement, there was no smile on his face.
"I can't believe you were able to discover the ruins of the Kingdom of Sorofia all by yourself.
Well done, "said Eugene in a flat tone. This was the greatest compliment he could give to Xia Luote. However, he didn't expect that this rare compliment would not be accepted.
