The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 205 Undercurrent is coming
The warship that William Booker was on did not arrive at the airport on the imperial border within the scheduled time.
The media workers who were preparing to follow up and conduct interviews here did not see anyone from the Duke's family until dawn.
Although this is not a particularly serious problem, when these people contacted their colleagues who were on standby in various places, they suddenly discovered a shocking fact.
——The warship of Duke Booker's family suddenly lost contact shortly after entering the border territory in a high-profile manner.
"What on earth is going on? How could such a big ship just disappear?!"
"Hurry up and get some people to investigate! Just follow the path the ship came in from! How could something like that disappear out of thin air!"
After sensing a hint of uneasiness in the air, all media outlets in the border area immediately dispatched a large number of personnel to begin searching for the suddenly disappeared heir to the Duke.
At this time, those who were paying attention also discovered another strange thing - Aarons returned to Moti City with the princess and two attendants yesterday, and it seemed that he didn't care at all about William Booker who came to steal the bride in a high-profile manner.
Is there any connection between the two?
"Could it be that the battleship was sunk on the way?"
"...Impossible. The Golden Bridge is much better equipped than the Imperial cruisers currently in service. Who do you think has the power to fight against such a warship?"
Even though people had previously witnessed Aarons summoning fire from the sky to destroy the Duke's servants and mercenaries, most people still did not believe that Aarons had any real power.
——The so-called ancient scroll might just be a fake, and the magic that fell from the sky just looked scary.
During the search for William Booker, the media also invited some scholars and sources to discuss this incredible incident.
"Could it be that Her Highness the Princess attacked the ship? During the last honor duel, she almost unleashed a military-grade spell."
"You said Her Highness the Princess could use powerful magic that threatened the warship? But Her Highness the Princess has been in Moti City the whole time? She and the Marquis are almost inseparable, and many people in the city have seen it."
"That's right...it seems that the Marquis is also unaware of this."
There was no need for Aarons to explain himself, the media themselves provided him with an alibi - because the fact that a warship disappeared out of thin air was too unbelievable, so no one would suspect Aarons who had no chance to commit the crime.
——But a day later, the search team and reporters found disturbing traces of debris and cooled lava along the route the warship was scheduled to take.
And here is where the battleship crashed.
……
[After the search team identified the scene of the incident, the technicians who arrived later also conducted a detailed on-site survey.]
[The survey results show that the wreckage discovered earlier does belong to the Jinqiao cruiser. ]
[The cooling and charred marks left on the ground at the scene were most likely caused by psychic energy or magic going out of control.]
After a detailed investigation, the search team finally came to the following conclusion:
The Jinqiao cruiser crashed due to unknown reasons on the night it entered the border territory, and all the personnel on board were missing... or their bodies were completely gone.
[Since there are still many unclear points in this accident, we have also interviewed professionals who are familiar with psychic energy and magic source furnaces. ]
[According to the other party's explanation, the magic source stones stored on the warships are generally scattered, and it is almost impossible to cause a psychic explosion. ]
[So it is very likely that the Golden Bridge itself was equipped with some kind of unstable magic array, which accidentally lost control when in use, causing the battleship to explode and disintegrate. ]
Although this statement cannot fully explain all the doubts about the air crash, there is nothing wrong with the conclusion itself.
[According to the investigation, no one passed by the area where the accident occurred on the night of the accident. The nearest village was 150 miles away from the scene, and no one saw the incident with their own eyes.]
Because there were no witnesses, people could only guess the cause of the accident based on the traces left at the scene.
However, compared to the cause of the accident, the result of this incident is more concerning - because the person who died in this accident was the heir of the Duke of Booker's family who had already been announced to the public.
How could an heir to a duke so "coincidentally" encounter such an accident?
[Although many people believe that this incident may be related to some dispute between the Duke of Booker and the Marquis of Aarons, since both the Marquis of Aarons and Her Royal Highness the Princess have sufficient alibis, such speculation has not received much support.]
However, when the news of the plane crash spread throughout the empire through the media, people's attention suddenly turned to something that happened a few months ago.
——The family of Marquis Moti, who was originally in charge of the border territory, also unfortunately died in a similar airship crash.
If William Booker had been murdered, then perhaps so had the Marquis of Moty.
And if it was really Aarons who designed to shoot down William Booker's ship, then this was probably just a simple revenge.
[The investigation into the accident is still ongoing, but the Duke of Booker has not yet made any official announcement on the matter. The Marquis of Aarons and His Royal Highness the Third Prince will hold a formal press conference tomorrow to respond to this incident and external doubts.]
Of course, for most ordinary people, this is just a hot topic and will not have any impact on their lives.
……
"The other party will definitely not think this is an accident, so we have to start preparing for a full-scale war with the Booker family."
After receiving the contact from Jiang Yue, Aarons summoned all the family members to the Marquis' Mansion in Moti City.
When Jiang Yue brought Mo Qianyun and Zhu Ying to Moti City, the preliminary investigation report of the incident was just released, which triggered a violent upheaval in public opinion.
"Please forgive me, my Lord... I took it upon myself to kill everyone on that ship that day. If this has any impact on your future plans, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
"It's okay. If you encounter this kind of situation next time, just follow your own judgment."
Aarons had no objection to this, instead he expressed his admiration for Mo Qianyun's self-awareness.
He knew that the decisions made behind the scenes would definitely not be as good as the judgments made on the spot, so he did not intend to interfere with the people who helped him.
A qualified leader will not be concerned with so many professional matters.
"So have all the tests for Night Crow been completed, Teacher Jiangyue?"
"Yes, I have collected all the data I need. Next, I will design an optimized modification plan to ensure its absolute advantage in anti-ship combat and ground support."
Since the chances of engaging in aerial combat with other opponents are slim, the large attack aircraft [Night Raven] was designed from the beginning to destroy warships.
Its high price, which is similar to that of a battleship, and the fact that only Mo Qianyun can fly it, have established its position as a strategic weapon. Although Jiangyue has already prepared a design plan for mass production, they do not have enough Warcraft materials and qualified pilots.
"Master, if you really intend to form an elite force, you must seize as many resources as possible from the Duke of Booker's family."
"That's right, my husband. If we want to fight against other nobles in the future, the wealth of the Booker family will be indispensable."
Aarons' enemies are not only the three dukes, but other feudal nobles also possess power that cannot be underestimated.
The shackles that restrict their rapid development are still capital and resources.
"Then this is our goal at this stage - we must take this opportunity to wipe out the power of the Duke of Booker's family in one fell swoop, and then take as much as possible from them!"
There is no justice in the war between nobles, so Aarons does not intend to hold back here.
And now, he does have the strength to fight against the great nobles.
"Then Master, you should go to His Royal Highness Luo Lan to prepare for the press conference. Her Royal Highness the Princess and I will follow you, and the others will stay here for the time being."
……
After Aarons left, the people who stayed in the Marquis's Mansion also began their own communications.
They usually exchange information with each other in this way, and also use this method to ease possible conflicts - although everyone is relatively open-minded about things related to Aarons, it does not mean that there are no problems between them.
"Alas... I feel like I am of no use at all."
After a few simple rounds with Spider Sakura, Karin sat down with the petite cherry-haired maid with some distress.
Although the two of them still bicker and fight from time to time, their relationship has actually become quite good a long time ago.
"Answer me. There's nothing special about you, stupid dog."
"You stinky spider... Alas, but what you said is indeed true. Apart from being the young master's first attendant, I have someone to take over all other jobs."
Mo Qianyun's arrival actually had the greatest impact on Karin.
——Both of them had experience as mercenaries in the past, and they had similar experience and strength when fighting against others.
Even though there are some differences in absolute strength, with the help of Jiangyue's technology, there is already a clear difference in the versatility of the two.
Although Zhuying was also affected to some extent, she still has an irreplaceable role in technology.
"I'm not jealous, I just feel like I'll have nothing to do if this continues. I don't want to be a freeloader at home and be seen as a woman who only knows how to have sex with young masters."
"Refute. I don't see any problem with that."
"Idiot, don't you realize that we are no match for Miss Qianyun in this regard... because she is a human like the princess, so--"
Even if Aarons hasn't thought about it yet, others have already noticed this key point.
A nobleman certainly needs to be concerned about the issue of offspring - given the reproductive isolation of humans from other races, only human females can produce offspring for Aarons.
However, whether it is Karin Zhuying or Jiangyue Xiaye, as non-human beings, they do not have such ability.
"Miss Qianyun's status will definitely get higher and higher in the future, and the young master may meet a better woman in the future... Even you may be gradually forgotten."
After saying this, the brown-skinned and black-haired wolf girl turned her head to observe the reaction of the cherry-haired maid. After hearing this, Spider Sakura also fell into silence.
This alien creature perfectly simulates the personality of a certain female in Aarons' memory, and is not an emotionless machine.
"Analysis. Logical partition repair... Database zero-level security lock is released, allowing reading of risk-free data."
"Huh? What did you just say?"
"Advice. We must avoid this from happening, so I extend a joint invitation to you now."
After noticing an inexplicable light flashing in Zhuying's eyes, the intelligent and perceptive Karin immediately understood the changes in her.
Her simulated personality's obsession with Aarons is probably heavier than others imagine.
