Chapter 228: Big brother, I killed!

In the study, Tang En and Fiona sat opposite each other, and Tina and Marin with eyes fluttering stood side by side holding a tray, listening to the two adults talking about some "unclear" topics.
"It has been several days since the Combine Harvesting Team set off, and news has been coming back from the front one after another. Now it seems that their results are quite good."
Fiona shook the letter on her hand, with a rare smile on her face: "Just these days, they have earned thousands of gold coins-although not many, but they have proven the existence of this market, There will be more and more income in the future. "
"Of course, I was confident from the beginning."
Tang En was very relaxed. He never doubted the success of the plan. He shook the glass gently, and before he could speak, Tina firstly added hot tea to him.
"Thank you."
Tina flushed and bowed her head back.
Fiona glanced at Tina, and then said to Tang En: "The paving of the road has begun to show results in the past few days. The cooled asphalt road has been unanimously praised by everyone. Your reputation is even higher and you do not intend to take advantage of it. Tell them something to stabilize the people's hearts and situation? "
"It's not necessary. The people are not blind. They see what the rulers do. They know what they are good about."
"That's because the scope you need to rule now is too small, you can master it all."
Fiona said angrily: "If you change to another country to rule you, can you guarantee that all the leaders will be with you? The people are not so sane, and their complaints will come straight to you."
"Of course not, people ’s hearts are complex and changeable. Once the starvation crisis is lifted and life begins to be rich, people will start to pursue more wealth, more enjoyment, and selfish desire will expand. This is unavoidable."
"Then what do you do then? Kill the disobedient?"
"I really want to do that, but unfortunately."
Tang En shrugged: "Killing Zhang Tuhu, as well as Li Tuhu, Wang Tuhu ... to completely eradicate this phenomenon, on the one hand, everyone needs to reach a very high level of moral standards, which requires universal basic education as soon as possible, and On the one hand, the productivity of the society is sufficient to meet the desires of all people. There is no way to force it. We can only pray that the productivity of this society will develop fast enough. "
"But you don't seem to worry about how you speak?"
"Because ordinary people are very patient, they will not stand up unless they are intolerable."
Tang En spread his hand, and there was actually another reason why he didn't say it.
Without internal pressure, it is entirely possible to use external pressure to continue to force them to maintain a high degree of integrity-the chaos invasion is an unavoidable threat.
But now Prandall has just breathed out of the Second Chaos Invasion War and hasn't recovered his vitality. If he now announces this news, he will either be treated as a lunatic, or it will cause the entire world to become chaotic and completely collapse.
"Well, this topic is too heavy, let's talk about some more relaxed topics."
Fiona noticed that this topic was not suitable for discussion now, so she changed the topic: "In addition to the success of the first battle, the news from the three teams also has a lot of purchase intentions. It is said that the new lord of Kasparmi Lawrence Cardill has decided to buy a combine harvester or buy it in bulk. What do you think? "
"If he wants to buy, we'll sell it."
Tang En pouted: "Although he is hostile to the Kadir family, why not make money?"
Fiona stunned: "Aren't you afraid that they have a wild mage hired, and then learn the core technology in it?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. They can learn whatever they want. I wish they could learn it."
Tang En squinted and knocked on the table rhythmically: "I'm only worried about one thing now ..."
Fiona immediately became serious: "What's the matter?"
"Magic Crystal Mine."
Fiona frowned, "It's really a big deal."
With the development and sales of various magic energy equipment, after the magic machinery and equipment begin to sell in the folk, the consumption of magic crystals will also increase greatly, and the price increase is almost a matter of nails. At this time, there is no magic crystal mine. Arlington will be at a great disadvantage.
The increase in the price of magic crystals is undoubtedly the most affected by the development of Ellington's Ellington. As long as the average price rises a little, the cost of Ellington's construction will increase significantly.
Fiona frowned and said, "Don't you take Victor's attention very seriously? How about buying some magic crystal ore at a low price in advance while the influence of magic energy machinery has not spread yet?"
"I'm afraid it's not working."
Tang En shook his head: "After the Second Chaos Invasion War, after a hundred years of operation, the magic crystal mines in the Illus Empire were basically in the hands of the Kadir family, and the rest were also held by other families as hands It's the lifeblood, we can't step in at all. "
"What then?"
Fiona was anxious: "If Lawrence buys a combine to go back and discover the important role of magic crystals, then we will have a harder time buying magic crystals."
"Importing magic crystals from the Kingdom of Roninet is more risky. The city of silver has always occupied a large amount of exports. We suddenly import a lot of magic crystals, which will surely cause the keen sense of smell of those merchants. Yaya, even the goblin will praise it. "
"Although the magic crystal of the Rennes Empire is cheap, it is too far away, and there is a Gris Kingdom in the middle. It is not cost-effective, and it is troublesome to do business with the orcs. It is quite troublesome. We still lack the food they need most ... ... "
Tang En knocked at the table and gave a swift meal: "In short, the magic crystal ore is very important. In any case, we must find a way to grab a piece of fat from the mouth of the Kadir family."
Fiona had a headache: "You only ransomed two million gold coins from the Kadir family before. Do you think they would be willing to sell you magic crystal ore?"
"It depends on whether they have any excuses for me."
If there is an excuse, based on the thickness of Tang En's face, even the dragon's bamboo pole will dare to knock it on you!
At this moment, Tang En was a little surprised, and Huo Ran got up.
"what happened?"
"Ilia is here."
Fiona frowned, and said a little dissatisfied: "I know you like Elijah very much, but we are discussing the business, can you converge a little bit on her?"
Even Fiona didn't know whether her dissatisfaction was due to jealousy towards Elijah or from her attitude towards Tang En.
"No, she looked scared and cried a lot."
Tang En frowned slightly, and as soon as his voice fell, Yilia rushed into the study. After finding Tang En for a moment, she burst into tears and cried in his arms: "Woo--brother--wow--"
"what happened?"
Tang En patted Elijah on the back and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I, I shouldn't listen to you, I, I, Ilia are bad boys, I, I really didn't mean it, big brother, don't scold me ..."
Crying Elijah seemed frightened, and her words were incomplete.
"Yes, I know, so don't cry."
But Elijah kept crying.
"Nora, can you feel what happened?"
Nora drilled out and wiped the sugar residue on the corner of her mouth: "I can't feel it, Ilia's thinking is very confused."
Even Nora couldn't feel Elijah's idea, and it seemed that something had really happened.
After consoling for a while, Eliya finally calmed down, and with a tired expression, she nestled in Tang En's arms, with a sleepy urge to sleep.
Fiona winked at Tang En. Tang En nodded and whispered, "Ilia, what happened to me?"
"Big brother……"
Elijah looked at Tang En pitifully: "I tell you, don't you get angry ... I, I really didn't mean it ... I, I don't know how this happened ..."
"Well, I know, you say it."
"I, I, I ..."
Ilia stopped talking and hesitated for a long time before she said restlessly: "I killed ..."
kill! ?
Down, Fiona, Tina, and Marlene were all shocked.
Although it is normal for a person to die in this world, Elijah has never killed anyone. Before she saw the dead, she was scared like that. How could she kill someone?
Tang En guessed what was happening almost immediately, and pressed against Elijah's shoulder: "You secretly practice magic !?"
"Big brother--it hurts--"
Ilia was terrified, her eyes widened, and tears dangled in her eyes.
"Sorry--"
Tang En took a deep breath. Now that things have happened, it can't be blamed on her to solve them. It is necessary to understand what is going on.
"Don't I say it before, don't practice magic while I'm away?"
Tang En first blamed her, and then asked, "Where is the body?"
"In, in the woods behind the town ... is where we practiced magic before ..."
Tang En picked up Elijah and said to Fiona, "I'll take a look."
"I'll go as well!"
Fiona frowned, and if Ilia killed the town's residents by accident, things would get in trouble.
Although the use of Tang En's privileges can be covered up, once the use of privileges begins, the hearts of those who have ruled over time will change. Will Tang En at that time be the current Tang En?
Will he become another dictator like Hogg?
Fiona felt that it was necessary to keep up, at least to think about solutions immediately.
"This thing is not allowed to spread!"
Although Tina and Marin also wanted to keep up, they were only the maids of the Lord ’s Mansion. At this time, they could not follow the chaos, so they could only watch Tang En watch them disappear instantly.
