Chapter 247

Ren left his half-eaten dinner, wiped his mouth, and entered the reception room.

Akalande, who was sipping tea, stood up, with a tall and muscular body, half a head taller than Ren, with a smile on his face, but with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes, he said, "Ren, I'm here to disturb you again. "

"It's okay, please sit down, welcome to my castle as a guest."

Ren was not angry about it.

Don't reach out to hit the smiling man, besides, he has a good impression of Akalande.

The character of this legendary mechanic is very similar to the man of science and engineering in his previous life. He is extremely fascinated by mechanical technology. Although he is shrewd, he is not the kind of profiteer.

Not to mention, Akalande is still a major taxpayer in his own territory, and there is no need to offend the Mechanical Union standing behind him.

The two sat down separately.

Akalande said straight to the point: "Ren, I'm still here for the machine gun you invented." He saw Ren's eyebrows raised, and he sped up his speech, "I know, you have clearly rejected it, and I also I don't want to force you to pry into your secrets, but I was entrusted by someone, so I have to come again."

"Entrusted by whom?" Ren was a little curious.

With Akalande's status and strength, he must be a big shot who can make him visit the door in the middle of the night regardless of face.

Akadran looked around and said in a low voice, "Master President."

Ren's face was slightly startled, and it took a second or two to realize, "You mean the president of the Mechanical Union?"

"Yes." Akalande nodded slightly.

Ren fell silent.

As one of the top powers in the empire, the Steam and Machinery Union has been known to him since the beginning of time travel.

The Mechanics Union has branches in every city in the empire, and even some prosperous villages and towns, but the directors of these branches are never one person, but managed by several vice presidents.

The Kenieji Rockofer he knew, and Akalande in front of him, both had the title of vice president.

Of course, the vice president of the Longshande Branch is definitely not as good as the vice president of Modu.

Because Modu is the headquarters of the Mechanics Union, located in the territory of Viscount Stoind, which is the old city center of Modu, and the Hierro District on the north bank of the Hierro River.

More than 400 years ago, the Mechanics Union was established in Modu.

Since that day, the Mechanics Union has had only one president, its founder, who has remained in office until now without any change.

This chairman is the most mysterious figure in the history of the empire, possibly not one of them.

"His" mechanical technology has brought about earth-shaking changes in the world, promoted the development of productivity, and greatly changed the structure of the entire society, but few people know "his" origin and name, or even know whether "his" is a man or not. Female, is it human?

When people refer to "he", they always refer to him as the president.

The title of president has almost become a specific noun for this mysterious figure. In the minds of the people of the empire, the chairman exists like a special symbol, but little is known about it.

Ren thought that there would be many people coveting the machine gun, but he never expected that it would attract the attention of the president.

He considered his words and asked, "Is the President in Modu?"

When I was in Longshande, I once chatted with Keneji and learned that the president's whereabouts are secretive and he rarely shows up. Even the mechanics at the headquarters have rarely seen the president.

"Where the president is, I don't know."

Akaland smiled wryly and shook his head, "I just received a message from the president at home. Let me ask you, can you disclose the manufacturing method of Rambo's gun, and the mechanic union is willing to pay enough to buy it."

Ren was stunned when he heard the words, and then laughed twice.

The mechanic union is rich and powerful, using the golden shield to open the way, buying people's hearts and technology, this is their usual routine.

Ren considered for a few seconds, but shook his head firmly.

But his tone was not as blunt as before, "Can I refuse?"

Being able to create and firmly control the mechanical union for hundreds of years, the president must be the top big shot, at least a saint-soul-level transcendent. Even if he has a teacher behind him, he can't speak too seriously. Frozen relationship.

What's more, the teacher is seriously injured and trapped in the floating city.

Akland was not too surprised. He knew that Ren would refuse, but he was still very regretful, "How much is the bid if you don't listen to the president?"

"I dare not listen." Ren suppressed his curiosity.

He was afraid that he would not be tempted after hearing the price.

The influence of machine guns is too great, and the cost of manufacturing is not high. After being simplified, ordinary people can use them. If machine guns and firearm technology are flooded, the whole world will fall into violent turmoil.

Arranus is a world ruled by supernatural forces.

The rulers with extraordinary power only accounted for a very small part of the entire population, perhaps less than half of the population, but they suppressed the remaining 95% of ordinary people and grabbed most of the benefits, including power, wealth, and land. Returning to the siege, the people at the bottom have almost no chance of turning over.

The machine gun, on the other hand, has the ability to impart a unique power to a vast number of ordinary people.

This will inevitably set off a massive revolution, and extraordinary people below legends are not much different from ordinary people at gunpoint.

Ren, as an extraordinary person, was also a feudal lord, so he was naturally the target of the revolution.

However, the machine gun is almost no threat to the top extraordinary powers, such as the legendary middle-level and above, or even the holy soul wizard.

Not to mention that there are still gods!

Ren was not sure how the world would develop, whether ordinary people and extraordinary people could reach a balance, but he knew that countless people would definitely die.

The killing efficiency of machine guns is high, and blood flowing into rivers is no longer a lie.

Before this, Ren didn't want to let the machine gun come out too early, but he was forced to do nothing. Fortunately, he joined the Holy Soul Wizard's sect, so he had the courage to use it for the Ultramarines.

If the mechanic union gets firearms technology, it will be like a tiger with wings added. The strength of the mechanic union will skyrocket, and it may overwhelm the Church of the Three Gods and threaten the rule of the Supreme Council.

No matter which angle you judge from, the Mechanic Union shouldn't be allowed to succeed.

Hearing Ryan's answer, Akland was very puzzled.

He sighed helplessly, and said: "This is the first time I have seen a young man like you who has strength and talent but can resist temptation."

"I will tell the chairman truthfully."

Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he has been secretly observing Akland with the eyes of his soul. Judging from the ups and downs of his emotions, Akland is not determined to win the machine gun technology, and his attitude is not very firm.

It can be seen from this that the president behind Akalande should just test it out.

Fortunately, the chairman didn't have a deep understanding of machine guns, otherwise he would never give up easily. Of course, it may also be that the president is afraid of his teacher and dare not use strong methods.

"Ren, I have one more thing to do this time." Akalande said suddenly.

"Please say."

Akalande took a sip of tea and said: "The president asked me to tell Master Anxi that the Mechanics Union is willing to provide an interest-free loan of three million gold shields to the Wezelan Floating Void City for the restoration and maintenance of the Floating Void City. The aftermath costs only need to be paid off in one lump sum after ten years."

The more Renn heard it, the more surprised he became. Three million gold shields are not a small amount, and they can solve the urgent needs of the floating city.

And it's a ten-year interest-free loan, which is almost like sending money!

This money can be said to be a timely gift, and it came too timely. The mechanics will take the opportunity to show their favor to the teacher. As a teacher, he must remember this favor.

Ren looked at Akalande, a little strange, "Why don't you tell the teacher yourself?"

"The president should not be in Modu, so I can only tell you." Akaland showed a shrewdness on his face, and said with a smile: "Master Anxi is a holy soul wizard after all, the leader of the floating city, and his status and reputation are too high. If you want to lend him money in person, you will probably be rejected, and it will make Master Anxi unhappy."

Ren sighed inwardly, this guy is really a genius.

He was afraid of ruining the teacher's face, so he asked himself to tell it. Not only did he increase the chances of lending the money, but he also had some credit as a middleman, and he also owed a favor.

No wonder he was able to become the vice president of the Mechanical Trade Union and was sitting on billions of dollars.

Ren nodded, "I will tell the teacher."

"That would be great." Akalande seemed very happy, and said meaningfully: "After the matter is completed, you can come to the Mechanics Union and we can chat more."

This is the promised benefit fee, commonly known as kickback...

"I'll go." Ren responded with a knowing smile, and he remembered something, "It just so happens that I have an idea about mechanical products, and I will communicate with you at that time, maybe we have the opportunity to cooperate and develop a new market."

Akalande's eyes lit up, "What idea? Can you talk about it now?"

"Give me half a month, and I'll tell you when I make the real thing." Ren deliberately kept it secret. His idea was actually a steam motorcycle, and he was not sure whether it would be successful.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Acalander was aroused and rubbed his hands expectantly.

Ren changed the subject and asked, "I haven't thanked you for the bottle of Titan Power. How much is it worth? I can buy it."

"You don't need to buy it. I also think about the overall situation. Without you defeating Aaron Ravenat, I might not be alive now. No matter how precious the potion is, as long as it is used in the right place, it is not a waste." Aklan De glanced at Ren, guessed what Ren was thinking, smiled and spread his hands and said: "However, if you want me to take out another bottle of Titan Power, it will be in vain."

Ren was a little disappointed, and asked: "Where did you get it?"

"Have you heard of the auction of the demon soul of the Titan in Modu decades ago?"

Ren nodded.

That devil soul contained the legendary element "Titan Power", so it set an auction record in the empire, with a transaction price of 2.4 million gold shields!

Akland went on to say: "At the time of the auction with the demon soul, there were also a few bottles of potions made from the blood of the giant titan's heart, that is, the power of the titan. I bought a bottle for collection. I can't remember the price. It’s too clear, it’s like a three thousand gold shield.”

Three thousand gold shields are just a small amount of money for a legendary mechanic, and after so many years, it is normal for him to not remember clearly.

"It's a pity." Ren was very sorry.

In his eyes, this price is not too expensive. In exchange for an hour's power increase of three times, and the effect of lightning shape, it is simply too cost-effective.

If you can buy a few bottles to prepare, drink it when you encounter a strong enemy, it is very likely to turn against the wind.

Moreover, there is a chance to get Thor's Hammer in advance.

Ren had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and buy a few bottles of "Raging Beast Blood Potion" for backup. This potion is not so precious and the price is not high. It can be bought in many alchemy shops.

The two sat and chatted for a while, and Akalande got up to leave.

Ren personally sent him out of the castle, went back to fill his stomach, ignored Emily's questioning, and went back to his room to rest.

three days later.

Wren was the speaker for the first time, attending the Wedzeland Council of Six.

Anse Woldas previously announced the list of the two new Speakers, which surprised many wizards, but it was only a surprise.

The wizards discussed a lot in private, but no one jumped out to object.

Dalandon's entry into Parliament was well-received.

Rennes was even more powerful in turning the tide in this catastrophe, and made great contributions.

With his strength, he will be promoted to a legendary wizard sooner or later. Although he is too young, similar to some older apprentices in the academy, entering the council only depends on his strength, not his age. Even if someone is jealous, he can't find a reason to object.

Ren has the voice of all things, and he has naturally heard many people talking about him in the floating city these days.

The vast majority of wizards still support themselves. Occasionally, a few people are very unhappy with themselves because of their past hostile positions, and they can only hold back.

These people can't make any big waves and are nothing to worry about.

At the top of the Wedzeland tower, in the spacious and bright conference room, there is a Wedzeland purple eye logo in the middle of the ground, six high-back chairs are placed around it, and a soundproof circle is arranged under the feet. The surrounding walls are transparent and can be overlooked The entire floating city.

This is where the rulers of Wezeland discuss their decisions.

Six high-backed cards formed a circle, and Ryan sat on one of them. He looked around, and on his left was Dalandon, who had just entered the parliament like himself.

The appearance of this legendary middle-level elementalist is a man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, high nose, broad forehead, a pair of eyes full of wisdom, a calm face, and slender hands and fingers. The smell of potions is a typical alchemist characteristic.

Seeing Ren's gaze, Dalandon returned a calm smile.

Ren also nodded.

Dalandon seemed calm on the surface, but his soul that kept changing colors betrayed him. He was actually very excited and a little nervous inside.

On the right is Chancellor Kidegar, then Cleos, and Ronnie sits on Dalandon's left.

Ren looked across, and the face of the teacher, Anse Wodos, had recovered.

If you don't know the inside story, you can't tell that he is seriously injured.

After merging the key of the door, Ren could see the strangeness of the teacher without using the eyes of the soul. A huge mysterious energy gushed out from the void, forming a closed loop in the teacher's body, maintaining the integrity of the body and avoiding the end of disintegration.

These energies come from the core of Iola, and their properties are the same as the power of time and space.

Anxi Wodas took out a few papers in his hand, flew to the five speakers, and said: "The loss statistics report of the Floating Void City this time has come out, all the speakers should take a look."
