…
The empire after the rain was shaken by the instructions that were constantly coming from the palace. Streets, squares, taverns, shops, office buildings, factories... all the places swept by these news waves seemed to have stopped.
Quiet.
too suddenly!
Many people had anticipated the coming of this war, but they did not expect it to be today. There was no warning, as if the emperor woke up today, slapped his forehead, and made this decision that was unexpected by everyone.
Even the newspapers, which are known for being well-informed, were overwhelmed by the news. The newspapers sold today turned into useless paper in an instant. The newspapers could only send out all the reporters and use all the connections to
Collect detailed news.
There was a group of reporters outside No. 236 Tongmulgshu Avenue.
They all noticed that a new plaque was hung outside the iron gate of this residence.
"Imperial Secret Service Secret Service Section 6"
Four uniformed Imperial agents stood guard outside with knives in hand.
This posture scared many reporters away from him.
The Secret Service has become a notorious place, and the Secret Service's Secret Service is a place that is easy to get in but difficult to get out.
However, the emperor's sudden canonization of the meteorite reward at this time must have a deep intention behind it. After all, what happened to the meteorite when he first came to the imperial capital was seen by everyone, and now His Majesty has simply given Princess Dai'er's dowry in advance.
part.
The eldest princess established the Imperial Secret Service Secret Service here.
The meteor is about to soar into the sky!
Several reporters bravely stepped forward to request a briefing, hoping to interview the Acting Governor of Fallen Star. A seemingly fierce imperial agent entered the briefing, but what came out was a strong man with mechanical arms.
"They're all gone! Don't look at where this place is. Our governor is busy and doesn't have time to see you. Don't gather around here. A car will come out and hit you to death soon, and we have to wash the floor!"
Pisco already had a ferocious face, and when he collided with his hands, he created a cloud of sparks, which immediately frightened the people outside and backed away.
But a young man wearing a felt hat and an ill-fitting jacket approached shakily.
"Sir, I am...I am Miss Kylena's friend."
Pisco wanted to punch the young man, but he stopped when his fist hit him. The wind of the punch blew off the young man's hat, and he was so frightened that he held his head and closed his eyes, thinking that he was going to die here.
"Do you know Kylena?"
Pisco's tone suddenly changed.
When he was in the Cape District Branch of Raging Wave City, he and Xue Lai went out to break the news, and when they came back, Kylena helped them write a report. Although Pisco was stupid, he still respected Kylena.
Now Kylena is the personal secretary of Governor Meteor, and her friends must not be treated like other people.
The young man opened his eyes and saw the change in Pisco's attitude and immediately said: "My father used to be the gardener of Miss Kylena's family. I grew up with Miss Kylena. It's just that the Miss' family suddenly suffered a change... We have been together for many years.
No more.
My name is Johnny Norton, and I am the son of Miljan Norton. Please tell Miss Kylena, she must know me."
Pisco looked Johnny up and down: "Just wait here!"
Pisco turned and left, telling the guards to keep the people outside away.
The guards began to chase people away, and the surrounding reporters had no choice but to retreat, making Johnny who remained in place more conspicuous.
But the reporters didn't go far and stood far away on the other side of the road to see if the newbie could get in.
Johnny picked up his hat from the ground, patted the dust on it and put it on again. He checked the pen and notebook in his pocket, expecting and fearing whether he could see the meteorite.
If you can interview a meteorite, even if you only ask one question, you will be taken seriously by the editor-in-chief. You will get better treatment, a better salary, and a desk of your own.
You don’t have to serve people tea and water or do other chores all day long.
I don’t know if Miss Kylena still recognizes me. I have never seen her again since that incident. I only know that her parents are dead and she went to Raging Waves City...
Johnny waited anxiously.
If the newspaper hadn't sent everyone out, I wouldn't have had this chance.
After a while, Pisco came out.
"Boy, you are very lucky. My governor accepted your interview. Remember to thank Miss Kylena."
"Really?" Johnny exclaimed in disbelief.
He originally wanted to meet Kylena first, and then indirectly ask if he could interview the Acting Governor of Meteor Star, but he didn't expect that he could go and meet Meteor Star directly.
"Of course it's true! Meet Kylena with me first, and she will teach you the etiquette of meeting my governor. Call me governor, and remove the word 'generation'. Don't make my governor unhappy, or I'll blow your head off."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Johnny answered in panic, then glanced at the reporters opposite and followed Pisco into the door.
Luke faced the mirror in the room and tried on the Glory Royal Knight armor he had just received. This armor was more decorative than defensive. After taking apart all the fancy components...Luke didn't even know how to put it on.
Xue Lai was called to help, but Xue Lai, who had been a soldier, didn't know how to install some parts.
Helpless, Luke had no choice but to call in sandpaper.
As a mechanical remodeler, although Sandpaper saw the Royal Knights of Glory armor for the first time, her professional vision allowed her to quickly understand the structure of the armor.
When the armor is put on, the built-in alchemical formula automatically activates to adapt to the tightness and then locks it. Luke moves his body and it feels like he is wearing a thicker suit. Apart from being heavier, it has little effect on the flexibility of his movements.
Moreover, as the ceremonial armor of senior royal knights, the Glory Royal Knight Armor is indeed gorgeous, fully expressing the royal style and the might of the knight.
I have to admit that although the Golden Shield Empire is a bit older, the art it has produced is far superior to those new countries in terms of tension and rendering power.
That damn sense of glory made Luke even have the urge to be loyal to the empire.
Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil.
Luke overcame the appeal of the armor's appearance, posed a few poses in the mirror, and then asked Xue Lai and sandpaper to take it off for him.
Then he put on the governor's uniform that came with the appointment letter as acting governor, and put on the golden shield and ribbon given by the emperor.
To be honest, it was indeed beyond Luke's expectation that Emperor Augustine appointed himself acting governor of Raging Waves City. This was almost equivalent to an official endorsement of his current power and status in Raging Waves City, and was officially recognized by the empire.
They even gave them military power as well.
Now Luke is in charge of politics, economics, and military affairs, and has become a feudal official who controls important cities in the empire.
Emperor Augustine gave quite a lot, and Luke had to admire his courage.
At the same time, I also understand Augustine’s intentions behind it and his future actions.
"Acting Governor"
Used well.
It can not only stabilize the heart of the empire while the empire is concentrating on dealing with the south and west, but also allow the city of Raging Waves to play a good logistical role in providing money and supplies for the war.
It also left a backup plan for the end of the war.
Although the Acting Governor nominally has military power over the Imperial Navy stationed in Raging Waves City, in fact this army is beyond the reach of outsiders. Luke can only use Raging Waves City's navy to fight foreign wars, but it will not be useful internally.
To be continued...
