Chapter 377 Chapter 375: He is Him (Additional Chapter 8)

In the Helka world, the Old Continent is the absolute origin of civilization and deserves the reputation of having a 'long history'.

Counting from the ancient barbaric era, there have been records of dragons and giants fighting, elves and dwarves coexisting, hundreds of races fighting, and then the rise of humans...

It’s the same piece of land, but with different races, different beliefs, a complex pantheon, and many gods. It’s so lively here!
It can be said that there have been too many protagonists on this land.

However, perhaps there are too many protagonists and heroes, and even the incident of mortals becoming gods has happened many times, but the kind of powerful man who can unify the Old Continent has never appeared.

Take the Habsburg Empire as an example. Before unification, it was a mess of more than 1,700 small tribes and small kings.

It was not until the Hohenzollern family emerged, conquered the east and the west, and conferred titles on the nobility that the same flag began to fly in this land.

Of course, this kind of unification will still come sooner or later.

Some of them, under the empire's preferential policies, had already completely forgotten their previous rulers and became the most orthodox imperial citizens.

As for those who were stubborn, they would be exterminated or isolated from each other under the continuous attacks of the empire.

The empire's approach has always been to combine kindness and severity.

The benefits are so many that you can't even hold your hands together, just like receiving flowers. The support and benefits you get are really not comparable to what 500,000 gold teers can bring.

But once they sense something is wrong, they will show no mercy when it comes to killing people!

The empire's last expansion was in the Balkans a few decades ago.

This place originally belonged to the Kingdom of Bosnia, the main ethnic group was Serbs, and it was ruled by the Princip family.

Because the country is rich in natural resources, with a large amount of wilderness stones and various minerals, it is very important for an empire that wants to develop the magic industry.

However, the rule of the Princillin family is relatively gentle, and the loyalty of both nobles and commoners is extremely high.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Bosnia has a very good relationship with the Slavic Empire in the east of the continent.

One is to recognize a big brother and find a backer; the other is to extend the empire's tentacles to the west of the continent and needs allies.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and naturally there was a long honeymoon period.

Therefore, although the empire had the intention, it did not dare to provoke a war easily.

It was not until unrest broke out within the Slavic Empire and it had no time to worry about its allies in the west that the Habsburg Empire took decisive action.

The imperial army quickly assembled and marched into the Kingdom of Bosnia, giving the Princip family almost no chance to react. They pushed forward all the way and directly reached the royal capital, Sara.

At this point, the Kingdom of Bosnia faced the disaster of national destruction, and its territory was divided into two provinces of the empire.

The largest part of it, together with a piece cut off from the empire's mainland, is today the empire's largest industrial concentration, the Ruhr Industrial Zone!
Here, countless factories are built every day, and various new types of magical machines are constantly born, improved, and then tested in the market.

It was also the center of the empire's mining, metallurgy and foundry industries.

If the Habsburg Empire is the pioneer of the magical industry in the Old World, then the Rul Industrial Zone is the industrial pearl of the Habsburg Empire.

Its importance is beyond doubt. The amount of manpower, financial resources and policy support invested by the empire here is almost exaggerated.

As for the current province of Bosnia, it can only be considered a small half of the original Kingdom of Bosnia.

Moreover, since the good policies and benefits have been obtained by the Ruhr industrial area, the situation here is naturally much worse.

In addition, this is the core settlement of the Serbs, with the largest number of old nobles and remnants.

Thus, the 'Serb Renewal Front' was established, fighting under the banner of restoring the freedom and rights of the Serbs and rebuilding the Kingdom of Bosnia.

In addition, when the empire conquered the royal capital of Sara, in order to eliminate future troubles, it carried out an inhumane purge of the Princip family.

Almost all the members of the Princip family died.

Only one infant prince was rescued, but he was never heard from again. When he reappeared, he had become the banner of resistance of the Serbs.

Garlino Princip, some call him the last prince of the Serbs and the leader of the Rebirth Front.

You know what, in the Balkans, this title is very useful. I wonder how much secret support from the old nobles and the young and middle-aged Serbs can attract to join us.

All these factors caused instability in the province of Bosnia. The empire sent many consuls, but they did not have much effect.

This time, the Crown Prince’s visit was actually to stabilize the situation.

Although he acted arrogantly, the support policies, funds, and several major projects he brought were not fake.

This is certainly a good thing for the province of Bosnia!

But no one expected that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to set up a killing spree.

The crown prince is dead!

That was the Habsburg Empire, an emerging overlord of the Old World and an industrial powerhouse, and its first heir had died.

No one knows what will happen next, but anyone with a little knowledge will understand that a bloody storm is just around the corner.

Of course, no matter how chaotic it was, it would not affect the Flower Collar for a while. Luo Yi's real focus was on another matter.
Roy sat behind the desk, circling the "King Assassin" Galino Princip on the intelligence with a quill pen in his hand.

He drew circles after circles, even muttering, "It can't be you, and it shouldn't be you, right?"

"But why do I always feel like this is you?"

"Garlino Princip, the last prince of the Serbs, or should I call you Teacher Gary Mills!"

"Damn, this damn feeling, why the hell do I have to feel this way?"

The Old World is vast, with a population of tens of millions. Life is not going well, and there shouldn't be too many people who go missing.

There are even more people who were hunted down by their enemies and disappeared without a trace, and their life or death is unknown.

Logically speaking, no matter from which angle, Roy has no evidence to prove that this Galino Princip and Gary Mills are the same person.

But I feel like this thing doesn't require evidence or reason, it's just a flash of inspiration.

Moreover, as long as he put himself in this role, Luo Yi felt that everything that happened seemed to make sense.

Why did Gary Mills leave in such a hurry?

Luo Yi was just picking up Madam Linda, so why did the Vampire Marquis take action first and then attract the legend to chase him?

The red dragon Virgil said that the pure-blooded marquis was forced into a corner, but as long as it is a living thing, it should be afraid of death, right?

The spell to summon the ancestors is, after all, a sacrificial ritual, and the sacrifice is one's own soul and life.

How much hatred must the pure-blooded marquis have to be willing to treat himself so cruelly?
I'm afraid that the mission he accepted was to bring Mrs. Linda back no matter what.
In this way, Gary Mills was threatened and forced.

Coupled with that superb gun skills, Roy didn't know whether others could do it, but Gary Mills could!

After taking stock of everything, Luo Yi felt more and more that he was him!
But Luo Yi knew clearly that he couldn't be him!

What is the 'Serb Resurgence Front'?
After all, he is just a tool for some people to achieve their goals, and Prince Garlino is just a banner in the front.

The summoned secondary demon lord, the six-armed snake demon,
There are many powerful people who can hold their own against the Imperial Guard.
Those assassins and assassins who didn't care about their lives,
There are also those powerful magic firearms and even magic cannons...

These are things that the small "Serb Renewal Front" could not come up with.

There must be a powerful force behind this.

This assassination must have been planned and prepared for a long time.

He could not imagine how deep the water was here, but he secretly guessed that the Bonaparte Empire and the Slavic Empire were definitely involved.

Otherwise, who can control the Thirteen Blood Clans and the legendary Blood Grand Duke?
With a deep sigh, Luo Yi suppressed all these complicated thoughts.

Throwing the documents in his hand onto the table, he murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Teacher Gary, you must survive!"

Roy knew that protecting Mrs. Linda was the limit for him, and there was nothing else he could do.

Moreover, the storm caused by this incident is still brewing. What he has to face now is how the small boat of Xianhua can survive in this tsunami?
Jingle Bell!
Luo Yi rang the copper bell. A crisp sound was heard, and the door of the study was pushed open. It was Mira Greenman who walked in.

Luo Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her: "Why is it you? Where is Butler Hoover?"

Mira, wearing a butler uniform tailored to her body shape, bowed slightly and said, “Butler Hoover is unwell, I will replace him for a few days.

Don't worry, my Lord Earl. I have been following you and studying for a long time, and I can do it well."

Hearing this, Luo Yi stood up directly, with an undisguised look of anxiety on his face: "What happened to old Hoover? Is he sick or tired?"

"Mrs. Linda said he was tired. He was really too busy in the past six months because of your wedding.

After the wedding, he relaxed and couldn't hold on any longer. "

"Then why are you still standing here? Let's go and see him..."

As Luo Yi said this, he walked out of the study, complaining, "You didn't even tell me about this, what a shame!"

As he said this, he looked at Mira and asked, "But, old Hoover is taking a break, so why are you taking over?

Have you finished your work?"

"Financial matters are concentrated at the end of the month and the beginning of the month. Now that I am free, I will help the old housekeeper take on the task of managing the daily work of Lion Manor."

Mira said this, and couldn't help but said: "My Lord Earl, although the old butler is powerful, you can't use him like a cow!
He has so many things to do, have you ever thought about sharing the burden with him?"

"Hahaha, the main thing is, I didn't think of it!"

Luo Yi laughed dryly and replied:
However, just as he left the study and headed towards Old Hoover’s residence, he seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, don’t follow me.

Inform all the officials who are still in Brussels to go to the meeting hall!"

"I have a meeting!"
