"Are you really going to quit?"

"This is not a strange thing, right? You don't know my temper. Just being a secret policeman who has been running around for so long will definitely have spent all his life's diligence. No matter what I want me to do, I will definitely not be able to cheer up."

"Have you been in the job for less than a year? You feel that you can't continue to do it? It's not good for young people to be lazy and work, and it's not good for your career planning. Moreover, as far as I know, you're doing a good job."

As a graduate of the student union of the Central Academy of Magic and a young elite with a degree in philosophy from the National University, a rising star in the federal politics and a future outstanding successor to the League of Knowledge. Arantis has always been a person who regards self-discipline and hard work as a rule. In fact, he can't listen to Lu Xi's lazy words, and now he teaches him earnestly.

"Hey? Is it only a year? Why do you always feel that a long time has passed?" Lu Xi complained with a tangled face: "Brother Alan, do you know that every time I see you, I feel that you are one step closer to boredom. Well, when I first met you, I still have a sense of humor. Now, look at your serious and worrying about the country and the people, you are like a young version of Master Russell."

Alanti was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Well, my dream is to become a person like the teacher, so what you said is a good thing for me."

"There is always a feeling that friends are getting farther and farther away from me..."

"Why am I the same?" Alantis smiled casually, but the look of looking at Lu Xi seemed a little complicated.

"When I first met you two years ago, I was a completely young rookie who could not be more tender. Even if I were with my peers, I was just an ordinary magic rookie with mediocre strength. But who would have thought that in just over half a year, you could defeat the Verander's slut in duel, and then passed the exam with the goal of making the whole federation. Then I completed extremely dangerous tasks repeatedly as a secret censor, and in that situation, I defended the Black Man City until the reinforcements arrived. If I haven't seen each other for a year, your strength should have been far better than me, right?"

When Lu Xi first met Alantis two years ago, he had just broken through the silver level, while Alan was already at the 5th level of silver, and the level of an elite combat mage. Two years later, Lu Xi had already broken through the golden position and stood at the tip of the world's strength pyramid. However, Alan's strength has only grown by level 1, and he still has not surpassed the ordinary category.

A silver level 6 who is less than thirty years old is actually very excellent from a common sense point of view. In addition, as the secretary of the Secretary of Military Affairs, a large amount of business work will definitely involve most of his energy and he will not have much time to practice. Being able to achieve such achievements now is actually worthy of his excellent teacher.

However, the so-called "not afraid of not knowing things" is afraid of comparing goods. Compared with the vast majority of people in this world, Alantis is naturally a social elite that everyone admires, but there is such a little brother around him, whose strength is almost visible to the naked eye and is improving day by day. After only two years of obtaining the magician qualification, Alan has no way of seeing through the other party's strength. He can only estimate from the detailed report of the battle in Black Man City that Lu Xi's strength can even be worn by 4 stars, but because of his qualifications, he has ranked 2 stars, which is shocking.

It would be fine if it was just like this, but the key problem is that this genius, who can definitely be compared with his legendary teacher, is a guy with no motivation, as if he is full of lazy tendons, and he is just thinking about when he can go back to the countryside to eat and wait for death.

With Alantis' character, he would not be jealous of his friends' talents, but with such talent, he was so lazy and squandering his life. This is what made him unable to see.

"The gods are really unhappy. They actually put such talent on you, a lazy guy, and they are simply trying to conquer things!" Alantis shook his head angrily.

"Maybe it's because the goddess sister pampers me so much. In this way, I can complete my work in the shortest time and hide at home and sleep until I wake up naturally at home."

"Hey, you guy is really brave. For ordinary people like us who work hard, you just made the most evil speech in history!"

"That's why I said, Master Russell and you, you really don't have to have too much expectations for a bad guy like me. I can't save the world, and of course, I can't become a big man like him who cares about the country and the people."

Alantis wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the carriage suddenly braked and suddenly stopped, which scared the two people in the car. The second half of the sentence was naturally swallowed in his throat.

"What happened?" Alan opened the car window and asked the coachman.

"Young Master, you may not be able to get through the front."

"Can't you get through?" Lu Xi also opened the car window curiously and looked forward.

The roads that can accommodate a large number of four-wheeled carriages passing side by side have been blocked by dense crowds and are out of touch. Two carriages have stopped in front of Alan, and they must have stopped due to traffic obstacles. The driver and the owner got off the carriage and kept jumping and cursing, but there was no way.

In other words, these roadblockers don’t care at all. Their attention is not on traffic blocked by themselves. Even when they hear the angry scolding of car owners dressed in noble people, they just glance at the other party with cold eyes and then ignore it.

Judging from the clothes and dressing, these people are just ordinary citizens, including the elderly, women, and children. They are far from the "troubled people" that the government hates the most, and they don't seem to be making trouble at all.

In fact, it is not.

These people were bustling in front of a large roadside food store, but for some reason, it was already business hours, but the food store had not opened. Today, there were many more customers coming to the door than before. Over time, the crowd slowly gathered, and soon expanded from the store door to the road, and then gradually formed a crowd of this size, causing traffic obstacles.

"Hey, that's really unlucky. I hope it won't take too long. Let's not let Master Russell wait for a long time." Traffic jam! This is a scene that has been missing for a long time, and Lu Xi immediately felt intimate.

"It's also my fault. There are three food stores and two fruit and vegetable stores on this road. Why did I forget this? Alas, I shouldn't have chosen this road at that time!" Alantis stomped his feet helplessly, but his face was full of annoyance.

"Hmm? How did you say this?"

"Looking at this, this crowd will not be able to disperse for a while. You can't let the teacher wait for a long time... Lu Xi, how about we walking forward? We can talk while walking."

"It doesn't matter..." Anyway, it seems that it's not a few steps away from Russell's official residence, and it's no big deal to walk.

As we all know, most of the territory of the Federation is floating islands in the sky, and there are only three lands on the ground, Port Gloren, Port Fengxi and Island of Valdia, which are almost negligible.

Not to mention the so-called floating islands that are at most floating rocks, there are about a thousand floating islands known to the Federation that can live in people. They seem to be a lot, but if you really need to add up the area, it is not even as good as a small and medium-sized country on the mainland.

Such a country with scarce land has to support more than 30 million immigrants of all ethnic groups, so the agricultural pressure can be imagined.

In fact, more than 60% of the federal food is dependent on imports from the earthly world.

For the Auckland Empire and the Virgia Empire, as long as the country's food exports to the Federation were cut off, more than half of the other party's citizens could starve to death and the regime collapsed within three months. For the Federation, if all floating warships were dispatched, more than half of the other party's cities could be transformed into scorched earth within three months. Even if the other party had millions of invincible Holy Spring Knights and Nord Warriors, they could still be out of reach and sighed to the sky.

Therefore, the pattern of the three poles of the world will always be based on the balance between power and power.

"In just one month, a total of four large floating ships in the Federation were attacked, and they were all grain transport ships between Elichar and Gloren Harbor. In addition, for some reason, the news even spread, which made the citizens panic. As for the consequences, you have seen it," said Alantis.

"The result is that the price of grain in the capital is soaring like eating Viagra? Citizens began to rush to buy food, and then grain merchants could take it for granted that they could hoard food and food goods... What does the government do for food? Isn't anyone taking care of it?"

"Most food wholesalers in Elichar have the shadow of nobles behind them. Not only will they not stop them, but they will definitely add fuel to the fire. The food store you just saw is one of them. It is said that the store is only open for two hours a day, and each person can only purchase two loaves of bread, one silver solan..."

"One loaf of bread and one silver coin, there is no limit on eating."

"And, what can I do if the government really intervenes? This is free trade and does not violate a federal law."

"Free trade? Hey, it seems that I have to teach you common sense theory courses in economics for some time." Lu Xi sneered: "By the way, a government that does not even have the means of macro-control is really weak. Is such a federation really okay?"

"What is macro-control?" Alantiti was very interested in this word that sounds very awesome.

"It takes at least a thousand words to explain. Let's talk about it next time. Now we are facing the problem of grain prices in the capital... By the way, does the government have no reserved grain in its hands? As long as it takes a part to sell it on the market, prices will be stabilized soon, right? As long as it is dragged to the next grain ship arrives, will everything be fine?"

"The teacher actually considered the issue you mentioned at the beginning... However, the use of strategic reserves requires most of the ruling committee to pass. Do you think Turner's faction may support us? Don't forget that the teacher just uprooted a clan. Maybe even this food crisis in Elichar was a means of revenge."

"Uh? In order to cheer up the Cas family, who have all gone in, I used the people of the capital as cannon fodder. Is that the matter?"

"I have always been willing to measure the faces of the nobles of the clan with the greatest malice."
