1298 Chapter 1299: New Machine

"Uncle sent a letter saying that someone is pursuing Mordred recently, and asked me to go back and check to see if there is a chance."

Arturia said.

When Aslan heard this, he felt very guilty.

Of course he knew about this, Sikov's daring son, Sikov asked Aslan to give his son a marriage because of this, but Aslan refused on the grounds of free love.

Since then, he has never asked about this matter, and he never thought that Sikov's son would not give up.

Didn't he know that the woman he was pursuing was a powerful mentor to the Grand Knight, so he wasn't afraid that Mordred would kill him if he tried too hard during the couple's life.

Sharon also got the news about this, but she didn't tell Artoria, and said with a light smile: "Then I'm also going to meet Elena at the border, and she's going to open the clothing industry to the neighboring Principality of Soros , and by the way, determine the management of the Principality of Soros."

The reason for determining the management rights is that apart from Sharon's people, Vlada's people also infiltrated the Soros Principality.

"good!"

Before he knew it, Aslan became a loner again.

"If it's too boring, I can ask Shirley to accompany you."

Sharon suddenly whispered in Aslan's ear.

Aslan immediately refused, and said righteously: "During this period of time, I will guard myself like a jade, and I will never touch me with women other than you."

Artoria nodded in satisfaction.

Eletherina looked skeptical.

Only Sharon showed a sweet smile to encourage Aslan to work hard.

In Katrons, the imperial capital of Zanskat, a special ball is being held in the aristocratic district.

Bright magic lamps illuminated the spacious main banquet hall, and soft and cheerful tunes echoed in the interior space. The music carried the intoxicating and extravagant atmosphere unique to the early days of the Zanskart Empire.

This kind of private ball that only invites a few close friends is destined to not have too many guests. A dozen invited guests stand together in twos and threes, talking casually in the hall. The mellow wine and exquisite snacks are not too much. By attracting these visitors from the upper class, their attention is almost all on the small temporary enclosed platform in the center of the hall.

There is a strangely shaped machine with an iron frame and a series of complicated connecting rods and gear mechanisms. The cotton threads neatly arranged between the metal rods in the upper part of the machine can not help but think of textiles. , but this is the first time you have seen such a weird loom.

The guests stopped around the machine intentionally or unconsciously, discussing or speculating in low voices about the origin of the machine and the purpose of the banquet host to put it here.

This unattractive, even somewhat ugly mechanical creation does not match the atmosphere of a high-class banquet. It is definitely not for decoration to be placed in the center of the hall, let alone the industrial development of the Zanskart Empire. Ugly machines that can bring great productive wealth.

As long as you are not a stubborn old aristocrat, you will definitely pay attention to any new machine affairs in the empire, and you may be able to find huge wealth opportunities from it.

"It can't be a new toy!"

In the banquet hall, a young nobleman in a crimson coat was discussing in a low voice with his partner next to him.

"Last time, Peart took out the bicycle he just bought from the Eurasian Federation."

"I heard that it was brought out by him from the 'Imperial Engineering Research Institute'. Many people are saying that this thing has epoch-making significance."

The partner next to him immediately echoed: "Also, I heard that that eccentric old magician got very close to Peart recently..."

Some uninformed people asked suspiciously: "An old magician with a weird temper? Is there such a person in the Imperial Engineering Research Institute?"

"Yes, that is a well-known person. It is said that Ms. Naris personally vouched for her. Her identity is very secretive and cannot be found out. As soon as she came, she brought several very important technological inventions, which were listed as S by the Empire. Top secret..."

The low-pitched discussion among the guests did not last long. As the sound of the music gradually became soothing and low-pitched, everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the hall in unison. The attendants in black jackets opened the heavy and gorgeous door. The tall and thin Viscount Peart, wearing a loose dark coat and a monocle, appeared at the door.

This Mr. Viscount, who is less than thirty years old, has a happy smile on his face. He is always so beaming, and there is an atmosphere that good things will happen at any time around him. Only those who are familiar with him know that his beaming smile , How vicious and insidious it is.

Today, behind Mr. Viscount, there are two people following, one of them is very strange, they have never met before.

The stranger was wearing a black magician's robe, invisible, gloomy, and looked like an old-school magician with a strange temper and difficult to get along with. The other was everyone's old acquaintance, Winchester from the Imperial Craftsman Research Institute. Researcher.

Winchester was not tall, and he was a little hunched over. He was a middle-aged man with a wretched face. Even though he was wearing a brand new and decent woolen coat, he still looked like a man hiding at the bottom of a slum. A petty thief who can't get on the table.

He generously followed Viscount Peart and the black-robed magician, chatting with Viscount Peart very well, and he was no stranger to this kind of dance.

The unfamiliar faces aroused the curiosity of the guests. Although they had already guessed the identity of the black-robed magician, everyone did not ask rashly in a rude manner. With one glance, the magician turned his attention back to the host of the banquet.

The visitors are all friends of Viscount Peart, so naturally they will not be so restrained. Some people raised their glasses of wine and greeted the host with a big smile: "Viscount Peart, thank you for your fine wine and food. This banquet is really exciting. Impressive, my friend, why don't you come and introduce your new toy and friends?"

"This is not a toy, Viscount Ankewei!" With a bright smile on his face, Viscount Peart walked towards the center of the hall and came to the weird machine, then turned to face the guests he had invited, Extend your arms and point to the machine behind you in an exaggerated gesture.

"This is a new era!"

"You really like this kind of exaggerated words more and more recently!" A woman wearing a veil couldn't help laughing and shaking her head: "You said the same thing when you introduced 'bicycle' to us last time, but it's a pity that it's suitable for ordinary people use."
