But I never imagined where I would be pushed by these two queens next.
The two queens are not ordinary people. On the contrary, they were artificially created to love this country far more than anyone else, and they also hate decay far more than anyone else.
What happened to the Victorian royal family did not happen between the two of them.
In just ten years, they cleared out the nobles who created themselves and the nobles who were the former Witch King.
Maybe the group of nobles who created them couldn't even dream of it.
The weapons they make have their own ideas and power.
"The music is beautiful. It's time for Leitania to usher in change again. The lich... is a powerful creature, but Leitania does not need a dictatorial tyrant."
The tower that once represented the Witch King's brutal rule has disappeared, replaced by two equally tall towers.
A white tower and a black tower.
It means that this country has two queens.
Ivignad stood on the tower, looking down at her city-state.
Seeing the people below living and working in peace and contentment, she couldn't help but chuckle, her laughter full of satisfaction.
Then a ray of sunshine hit me at noon.
Just when she wanted to bathe in this warm sunshine, this ray of sunshine did not come as promised.
A dark shadow was cast on her eyes.
Ivignad looked up angrily, but then her eyebrows lowered.
There seemed to be some unwillingness in his eyes.
It turns out that the owner of this black shadow is a building that is far taller than the Twin Towers.
The owner of the building is the Scorpio Group.
How high exactly?
The combined height of the two twin towers is not as high as the building.
And there is no limit on the height of buildings in Letania, because no one would consider that anyone would build a building taller than the Twin Towers.
After all, this is a symbol of imperial power.
Build it higher than the Twin Towers and risk your life?
But it is a pity that the Scorpio Group did not take the authority of these two queens seriously.
Because land is at a premium in the city of Letania, the price of land is always expensive. Although the Scorpio Group is a big player in this country, the money is not spent like this.
According to abacus calculation, compared to buying a new piece of land and building a new building, it is cheaper to continue to raise the height on the original basis.
After having a deep understanding of the laws of Leitania, Abacus built the building in Leitania higher and higher, and finally it became like this.
Cover the sky.
It made the towers of the Twin Queens tremble.
When they entered higher than the Twin Towers, Ivignad also wanted to restrict the Scorpio Group, but the other party said that they could not be demolished.
Because the entire surrounding area must be evacuated before they can be demolished, and they did not violate local laws.
It can be demolished, but Letania officials must compensate for the losses in accordance with the equality treaty signed previously.
And the amount of this loss........
It's not that Letania can't afford to pay, compared to other countries.
The country of Letania can be said to be a prosperous country and a strong people, and it can still get this little money.
However, if it is demolished, it will easily affect the country's international reputation, so it must be considered comprehensively.
Ivignad [White Queen] and Helenmat [Black Queen] issued an edict to prevent the Scorpio Group from continuing to build higher.
A law was also promulgated stating that from now on, no commercial buildings would be allowed to exceed the Twin Queen Towers.
In a sense, Huang Cheng has changed the laws of Letania.
But apart from that, Ivignad is most worried about some of the small moves of the Scorpio Group.
The notorious Scorpio Group is not just a casual remark.
Under the control of the Scorpio Group, Victoria has lost nearly 1/3 of its sovereignty in a sense.
Territorial rights are definitely gone.
The land has been ceded and you still want territorial rights?
As for economic hegemony...
The White Queen smiled and said nothing, then took out a few scorpion gold coins from her pocket.
Now many people in Letania are using this thing, which has completely kicked the pound out of the country's market.
So much so that the two of them are also collecting these gold coins, but not for use.
Instead, all these gold coins were re-melted and then minted into their own currency.
Of course this is all based on the exchange rate.
Under the agreement between Letania and the Scorpio Group, the exchange rate between Letania currency and the Scorpion gold coins issued by the Scorpio Group has reached an almost 1:1 balance.
Moreover, the golden ratio of gold coins in the two currencies is surprisingly the same.
This was also a helpless move for the two queens.
Letania is caught between the big powers. If it is not strong, if a conflict breaks out between the big powers in the future, it will be the first to disappear.
And as technology becomes more and more advanced, personal Originium skills play less and less roles on the battlefield.
I can't kill you.
But I have the ability to take down all your soldiers one by one.
If there is no backup then, how long can you last?
The era of one man forming an army is fading away with the development of science and technology.
This is why Ivignad is now dissatisfied and afraid of the Scorpio Group.
Because she's afraid Letania will become the next Victoria.
I am afraid that the current glory will disappear forever in an accident like Victoria.
Chapter 661 Arturo’s little life
Letania.
In a very beautifully built school.
A beautiful Sakota woman with long black hair was playing the cello in her hand. Her bare hands were slightly folded and she was making a sound comparable to the sounds of nature.
The people who were listening below were mesmerized and their eyes gradually blurred.
It seems that I am immersed in the ocean of music, yes.
The people below are students, and the people standing on the high platform in the classroom are their teachers.
Arturo.
A traveling musician.
That's what everyone who knows her calls her.
The song ends.
At the same time, the bell for the end of get out of class also rang. The students recovered from the beautiful music, stood up without any nostalgia, and then bowed to the girl in front of them.
Then he ran out of the classroom door in a panic.
Obviously, for students, the most beautiful music is probably the music after class.
Of course, when he first played the cello, Arturo did not attach his Originium skills.
Otherwise, the scene might get a little out of hand.
"Is it three years again?"
Aldora returned to his dormitory in this school, closed the door tightly and drew the curtains.
Alone in your own little world.
Three years ago today was a very meaningful day for Arturo.
It was her first visit to this country after many obstacles.
I want to start some business in this country.
At the same time, pursue the answer in your heart.
But as the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry.
After all, Arturo is not as good as those ancient existences who only rely on the Source Stone for their livelihood. Before becoming a new Earthly Fun person, she was first a person.
As long as people are human beings, they have to eat after all.
Although she has experienced a lot, she has never put herself in other people's shoes.
When she first came to Letalia, she had just turned 20 years old.
He has far broader insights and musical talents than his peers.
So she was ready to find a job.
You can't just grab it when you're hungry, right?
What Sakota gangster?
When his parents had not left him when he was a child, Arturo was a very well-educated child.
The education I received over the years was not in vain.
Of course, it is second only to education. In terms of morality, although it cannot be said to be extremely sinful, it can only be said to be difficult to describe.
At least now he and she are quite careful about their external image.
