Chapter 344: 342: The People's Ocean War (Subscription Request)
19 Lombard Street, on the balcony.
At noon in April, the sun is shining brightly, and it doesn't feel too hot, but it brings enough warmth when it shines on our bodies.
Luo Yi just stood there, lowered his head slightly and saw a dense crowd of newspaper reporters.
Some of them held a notebook in one hand and a quill pen in the other, looking up and waiting quietly.
Others were carrying a kind of boxy, bulky magical machinery with illuminated magic patterns on it.
Directly opposite was a glass-like lens, which was aimed at Loy. There were flashes of light and a photo was taken.
This is a Daguerreotype camera, a newly invented magical machine that can produce images and record photos.
In fact, with the popularization of education, more and more people have magical powers, and they are also flooding into various industries.
New types of magical machines that originally only existed in laboratories or met different needs have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This is true for the magic phonograph, and the same is true for this daguerreotype camera!
Although the exposure time is a bit long and the photo image is also distorted, mainly in black and white,
But, you tell me whether it is progress or not!
It is worth mentioning that traditional magic is not without imaging magic, nor is it not used in printing.
For example, in the journals of the magic world, there are high-precision restored color animations, like small videos that play in a loop.
But the problem is that such journals are too expensive.
Each one has to be calculated in gold tiers. Great magicians don't mind this little money, but ordinary people can't afford it.
Although the quality of the printed materials produced by Magic Energy Industry is very poor, the cost is low enough and they are good value for money.
Of course, in addition to the newspaper staff who rushed over, there were more onlookers, and you could also see police maintaining order.
Faced with this situation, Luo Yi remained very calm, and his heartbeat didn't even speed up.
He just used this place as his own podium to tell everyone in Oakland what he was going to do.
The air was silent for a long time. With so many people around, it seemed that even breathing and heartbeats had almost disappeared.
Only Luo Yi's eyes met everyone's.
He finally spoke, his loud, rich and majestic voice echoing throughout the street.
"Everyone, many people here have seen me, and many people have not seen me, but they should all have heard of my name.
I, Roy Raymond, Earl of the Duchy of Normandy, master of the Collegiate of Flowers.
Of course, when I was studying abroad in this city, I was still an illegitimate child.
People here have also given me many interesting nicknames, such as Lucky Boy, Undertaker, and Ghost Hunter."
"I like this place. Even though I've left, I've left behind a huge industry.
My magic power factory employs at least tens of thousands of workers, and all of my industries combined support at least hundreds of thousands of people."
"This time, I have a big project that needs to be implemented, so I discussed it with the Imperial Ambassador and decided to hold it in Auckland.
Here, I will wait for my guests, the best architects from the entire empire."
"I admit, I am selfish!"
“I just want to go back to this city, look at the buildings and streets here, and see the people and the changes here.
Of course, I also want to see my friends who still live here!"
“So, I’m back, and I’m eager to go home.
But I didn't expect that on my first day back, I'd see a filthy, smelly, blood-sucking monster that only dared to hide in the dark and couldn't stand the sunlight. It almost kidnapped my friend!
"Although I saved my friend, it was only then that I realized there were hundreds of cases of kidnapping young girls!"
"This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate!"
"A filthy vampire is wreaking havoc in my rising city. This is trampling on the dignity of the empire! This is a contempt for the authority of the government! And it's a challenge to the people of Oakland!"
“I will never allow such an arrogant person to exist!
Therefore, I have reached an agreement with the Executive Office, the Seventh Legion, the Seven Gods Bank, the Seven Gods Church, the Police Department, and the Philante School of Magic."
"We're going to put together the most cohesive and tenacious team Auckland has ever seen.
We will pay attention to every corner of the city and every suspicious person until we find that filthy vampire and crush him to death!"
"Of course, I need your help, the help of all the people of Oakland.
Pay attention, be alert, and be aware of anything suspicious around you, then report it to the police. "Follow-up, there will naturally be dedicated personnel to handle it."
"It's dangerous! I know, but hard work always pays off."
"So, if you report useful information, you'll be rewarded with 100 gold tyres. If you report key information that leads to the discovery of that disgusting vampire, you'll be rewarded with 1,000 gold tyres.
If you participate in the battle and inflict fatal damage to him, you will be rewarded with 10,000 gold."
"These expenses will be borne by the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group. From now on, I say so!"
“Everyone, you are all journalists, and the mission of journalists is to convey information and report the truth.
Now, tell everyone in the city what I said, and tell them to get moving!"
"I want everyone to know that the people of Auckland are not to be bullied!"
You have to admit that ever since he mastered the skill of the Lion King, Luo Yi has a natural talent for public speaking.
Every word he said was very contagious.
He can even stir up people's emotions with just a few words.
Just like now, his voice reached everyone's ears. It was not dry language, but boiling emotions that made their adrenaline surge.
So, with his departure, countless people began to move.
Reporters rushed back to the newspaper, having prepared to publish Roy's speech word for word in the newspaper.
They want to let everyone know this explosive news as soon as possible.
Of course, there were also the onlookers who were faster than them.
They flocked to those bars and dance halls. Even if it was just word of mouth, this news alone was enough for them to get enough free drinks.
However, there were also people who stopped to watch.
For example, in a carriage in the corner, Governor Ned Petrovich and Colonel Enzo Paxson, commander of the 7th Mixed Corps, gathered there and looked up.
The Petrovich family actually has deep roots in the military. In the process of rectifying the old aristocracy, the Seventh Mixed Corps made great efforts.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for these two people to know each other and have a close relationship.
However, when they looked at Luo Yi's back, they showed different emotions.
Ned Petrovich's eyes were filled with more sadness and unwillingness, but also a hint of relief.
Colonel Enzo Paxson was more appreciative, admiring, and passionate.
As the crowd surged out, Colonel Enzo Paxson finally spoke: "This kid may be young, but his methods are very experienced.
More importantly, he is really rich.”
Consul Ned couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Colonel Enzo, you know his past record.
Although he holds the title of Earl Raymond, he has come this far entirely on his own."
"You insist on saying he's young, but that's probably inappropriate, isn't it?!"
Colonel Enzo Paxson coughed dryly and said, "That's what I said.
Before, when your family's head, Baron Miller, praised him in front of me, I felt a little uncomfortable. Now I feel that I was arrogant."
"It's rare! It's really rare that Colonel Enzo would be so humble."
Ned taunted again, but then changed the subject and brought the topic back to the topic: "What are you going to do next?"
“What else can we do?
They've given me enough money and respect, and they're doing it for the sake of justice, so I have to do my best."
After a pause, he said, "I will go back and gather the best magic spearmen and strong men, and then you can use them."
"However, that pure-blooded marquis is not easy to deal with. You must be careful when using my men. You must not allow them to suffer too many casualties."
"Don't worry. Ultimately, you're just delaying the action. They're the ones who will actually take action."
Ned made this promise, and then he couldn't help but let out a heavy breath, saying, "This time, we have to get rid of this vampire no matter what!
A bunch of damn disgusting things came to my city of Oakland and killed so many people, I wanted to stab them to death myself."
"No, that's a pure-blooded marquis. I'm afraid if you get too close, you'll die miserably."
"I just said that, why do you have to expose me?"
"Hey, I just can't stand your bragging."
In fact, it was not just them who were discussing this. The bishops of the Church of the Seven Gods and Mark Williams all gathered together, and several people from the Philante School of Magic were also meeting.
As for the results, they are actually consistent!
That is to do everything in their power to find and kill this pure-blooded marquis.
Even for them, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid of this monster.
Since he could break into the Mage Tower and rob people, he could go to other places as he pleased.
Of course, we have to deal with such a monster before we can feel at ease.
As for the benefits and wealth promised by Luo Yi, that was the catalyst, and they were going to take action anyway.
Now, we just add the engine and start moving at full speed.
At this time, at 19 Lombard Street, on the second floor, in the study,
Douglas Hill popped his head out to take a look, then immediately retracted it. He looked at Luo Yi and couldn't help asking, "Luo Yi, isn't this a bit too much of a fuss?"
"big?"
"I wish it were a bigger commotion!"
Luo Yi sat on the sofa with his arms and legs spread wide, looking up slightly: "Can't the pure-blooded marquis be hidden?
I will mobilize the entire city to see where he can hide."
"I want to plunge him into the vast ocean of war among the people."
Yes, this is what Roy thinks. Auckland is a big city, but it is also small.
After everyone started moving, the vampire marquis who still had to find food could no longer hide!
However, Weiwu turned his head and looked at Oliveira again, saying, "However, finding him is only the first step. If we want to kill him, we still have to rely on us."
"Mr. Oliveira, are you ready?"
"certainly!"
Oliveira suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his sight: "This time, he can't escape."
I have to go out for something in the evening, I will try to come back early and continue updating!
