Chapter 158

New Washington.

Since the double Moon Festival, the new world has entered the autumn. This prosperous city with a history of 100 years has a trace of coldness in the bleak autumn wind. Many noisy stores in the past are still closed, especially a large number of elves have quietly left the city.

At this time, nearly half a month has passed since the day of the nightmare. The whole city can't forget what happened that night. The sudden bloody moonlight enveloped the whole new Washington. For the colonists, this unprecedented situation is shocking, but for the native people, it is terrible.

In the central area of the city, the Imperial Palace District, the skeletons of the dead who were rampant in the Imperial Palace on that day were thoroughly cleaned up, and the remains were completely burned into powder. In order to prevent future situations, the adjudicator's college also carefully inspected the places where the bodies might have been buried, leaving no omission.

The response of the adjudicator's college is quite rapid. However, a lot of effects have been caused in the end, and it is difficult to reverse them in a short time.

In a hall of the palace, around a huge round table, there were about a dozen Americans sitting, and they were discussing it fiercely.

"In the past two weeks in new Washington, the volume of business transactions has dropped by 12 percentage points. Many of the daily necessities have almost completely stagnated. If this continues, our income will drop sharply this year."

"Business is second, and I'm worried about population now! I just got the immigration data from the city garrison. Nearly 450000 people left new Washington in ten days! There are only one million people in our city

"Population is still very important to us. All the infrastructure construction in the colony needs a lot of labor. Our tax revenue mainly comes from the local aborigines. Many coolie jobs can't be done by our college people themselves. This problem really needs to be paid attention to."

"According to the statistics of the garrison, I have seen that not many indigenous people have left. The second or even third generation of Aborigines have basically taken root. Their families and industries are all in new Washington, and they can't leave if they want to. What worries me is that they are still elves. Haven't you noticed that from the day before yesterday, a large number of elves left the city in large numbers, and many shops opened by Elves were sold at low prices. It seems that they didn't intend to come back at all! "

"How long is the peace alliance treaty between our arbiter academy and the elves?"

"I remember that there are still more than ten years left in the Centennial alliance treaty. The elves are a race that attaches great importance to commitment and credit, but there is no need to worry that they will break the contract."

"Ten years later? What if the elves won't renew the contract

"Now it's not something to consider in more than a decade, so don't go too far! You'd better think about how to save the revenue of new Washington this year. "

"Enough!" In the noisy hall, there was a sudden roar of rage. The man sitting in the corner stood up and stood up. Different from other people's ordinary clothes, the man's body was covered with silver armor, and his helmet was placed on the table. His face was full of impatience and contempt, and his deep and thick voice echoed in the hall.

"You've been talking about population, finance, and Elven contracts, and I said, have you been away from college for so long that you've forgotten who we are?"

There was a commotion in the hall. An elderly man stood up and said unhappily: "commander Harry, this is the Municipal Council today, and you are the commander of the Dragon eagle knight. It is reasonable to say that the military department has nothing to do with this meeting. If you didn't say there was an important report, we didn't intend to let you attend it at all!"

The armed man was Harry, who sneered, "don't forget we are colonists! As for the elves, even if they really want to fight against us, there is nothing to be afraid of! "

"Harry, what do you mean by that? Just say it, don't be sarcastic!"

Harry took a deep breath, temporarily subdued his anger, and his voice was cold: "today's meeting has discussed so much, but you seem to have forgotten a very important thing! Lilith disappeared after that incident, and has not been heard of yet. Does no one care? "

"Lilith, you know the character of that woman. She can do whatever she thinks of. She has no sense of propriety and rules. Maybe she has found some interesting opponent and left new Washington first. Maybe she will come back after a while." The man who spoke earlier said perfunctorily.

A look of ferocity appeared on Harry's face and said angrily, "you don't know the importance of Lilith to the adjudicator's college!"

"We naturally understand the importance of Lilith. Commander Harry, I can understand your feelings. But now is not an era of colonization by war alone. Economy and commerce are also very important. Everything we do is for the benefit of the adjudicator college."

"Speaking of chief Harry, do you mean that you have something important to report today?"

Harry took a deep breath, shook his head slowly and said, "the one who disappeared with Lilith that day was a student from dawn college that we invited."

The short man nearest to Harry was almost asleep. After hearing Harry's words, he immediately opened his eyes, twisted his buttocks, and adjusted his slightly bloated body into a more comfortable sitting position. Then he said slowly, "this matter belongs to my ministry of foreign affairs. This scholar named Xiao Lin of dawn was indeed invited to participate in Professor Brown's work After that, commander Harry and I interrogated the students controlled by the dead overnight, but unfortunately we didn't get any information. "The man at the head of the round table, wearing glasses and looking like the moderator of the meeting, frowned and asked, "is Shuguang college? That's a bit of trouble. We have also signed an alliance treaty with Shuguang college, so we can't make the relationship tense. What's the grade of this student in Shuguang college and what's the strength level? "

The short man replied, "the freshmen, who have not yet reached the black iron level, rely on our anti gravity accessories and super potions to work in new Washington."

The glasses man breathed a sigh of relief: "freshman? That's nothing. Can you hide it from Shuguang College for the time being? "

The short man spread his hands and said, "this is what I'm going to report today. I'm afraid it's a bit tricky. Accompanied by Xiao Lin, there's a minister of Shuguang college who sends the information to Shuguang college at the first time. It's impossible to hide it. Now that the special investigation mission sent by dawn college is already in my ministry of foreign affairs, may I ask the city hall what should I do with it? "
