Chapter 177: Strange Alliances

The rain stopped early in the morning, and a little sunshine even broke through the clouds.

The post-rain Os Park seemed like a fairyland, with the entire world exuding a sense of freshness. Mist drifted lightly in the valley and among the trees, while a gentle mountain spring bubbled nearby and soft green grass covered the ground.

At first, Armand was puzzled as to why Grevy had brought him here. But when they climbed...

Chapter 410: The Blood Butcher’s Greatest Role—Establishing the Origin Blood Boundary

Every evening, Charlot Mecklenburg would undergo intense training with Juno. Recently, the training intensity had inexplicably doubled.

Although Charlot felt he was improving daily, he still rarely lasted beyond three moves in their combat practice.

What Charlot failed to notice was that Juno had been suppressing his strength to the eighth rank and had slowly increased it to the tenth rank over time.

That day, Charlot was once again pushed to his limits. After being disarmed...

Chapter 409: Juno Arthur's Gift

Antonio briefly recounted the events of that year, leaving Charlot enraptured and secretly astonished.

Back then, Zimourman Axel Robin's behavior was utterly outrageous, prompting the Imperial Chancellor, Wood Brandon, to decide to eliminate this "scar on the empire." However, Zimourman's power was so immense that Chancellor Brandon had to enlist the help of five Saint-ranked individuals from the royal family, in addition to Antonio himself. During a banquet, they first cursed Zimourman...

Chapter 166: Marat's Death Looms

Jefferson’s efficiency remained impressive.

Early the next morning, the proposal to collaborate with France in eliminating the Barbary pirates was submitted to the United States Congress.

The matter of purchasing two frigates was appended as an afterthought, seemingly with no intention of getting it approved by Congress.

...

Two days later, at the French Embassy in the United States.

Victor DuPont, the French amba...

"This is excellent news! Those damned pirates are finally going to be..."

Jefferson, responsible for American diplomatic affairs, had barely gotten halfway through his excited declaration when Franklin interrupted him with a weak chuckle, "Haha, dear envoy, I suspect there's something you've yet to disclose. Surely, the mighty French Navy would not go to such lengths for just a few American merchant ships."

Franklin was ...

Chapter 176: Purchasing the Automobile Company

"Buy a team?" Eric stared at Charles in disbelief, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Lieutenant, some things cannot be bought with money. If what you want is low-level talent, or workers, I believe you will get them soon enough. But what we need might be the top group of people in the world, and you don't even know where they are..."

Charles interrupted Eric's words: "Have you heard of Aston Martin cars?" 2025-04-27 17:06:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 408: The Arthur Clan’s Gunfighting, Supreme in the World

If the Arsilo Clan represents the Blood Clan's swordsmanship masters, and the Van Gogh Clan embodies its assassin expertise, then the Arthur Clan is the epitome of spellcasters. However, spellcasters often have a glaring weakness: close combat. To address this, the Arthur Clan developed "Gunfighting Techniques," a revolutionary method accompanied by the creation of the powerful Bloodburst Technique.

The Arthur Clan's gunfighting is, without question, the finest in the world.

No, n...

Chapter 407: The Blood Ignition Technique

Charlot suddenly thought to himself, “Is Byron perhaps too powerful?”

Although Byron had suffered severe losses in the naval battles, its strength in Ferranden had remained steadfast against Fars. With the addition of the Duchess Mesu's northern fleet, its naval power had recovered by seventy to eighty percent. Furthermore, with the acquisition of the Fontainebleau and the recent alliance with Viscount Constantine, its might had been bolstered even further.

Charlot began to wo...

Chapter 164: "Thunder Shaman" Franklin

“Ten million!” The middle-aged man with brown eyes froze as if his mind couldn’t process such a vast number.

After a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter. “Haha, I see now. The person you’re talking about must be the King, right?”

Marat immediately shook his head. “No, Vals, you’re mistaken.”

Ever since Marat gained access to the government’s financial data, he had known that the King, even if he wa...

Chapter 163: France's Greatest Embezzler

Lavoisier immediately grew more excited—was the Crown Prince planning to unify the entire academic community of France?

No, if this system of standard units were to be established, it could even unify the academic community of Europe!

Joseph, however, still seemed unsatisfied. “After the standardization of measurement units, the Standards Committee will have much more to accomplish.

“For instance, establishing nat...

Chapter 175: Then Let's Buy a Team!

Just as Carter had said, their daily tasks consisted of patrolling in airplanes or bombing enemy balloons. The latter was like releasing fireworks in the sky for them: press the launch button and then wait for the bright fireballs to burst in the air.

As for the patrols, it was another kind of enjoyment. They had complete control of the air, and whenever enemy planes saw them from afar, they would flee like chicks avoid...

Chapter 174: The Lethality of the Media

Kobdo was probably the busiest person at the headquarters, even surpassing Gallieni, who would look at maps while munching on bread.

During the day, Kobdo worked at the city defense headquarters.

This was because the city defense headquarters was the place where he could obtain the most accurate, fastest, and most up-to-date information. As soon as there was a battle or new intelligence, Kobdo would be the fir...

Chapter 406: The First Vampire Champion

Charlot Mecklenburg reappeared at No. 1 Falcon Street, his heart still racing with unease. He had no idea what had happened or what might ensue if he lingered. However, the ominous whisper from the Serpent of Fate was enough to dissuade him from investigating further.

Charlot had a premonition that something peculiar had occurred aboard the Radiant Holy Kingdom. This anomaly was beyond its original design.

As for the cause of this alteration?

That remained a mystery for now....

Chapter 405: Charlot Mecklenburg, You May Call Me Amon

Charlot was greatly astonished. The last time he encountered the Radiant Holy Kingdom, this divine entity had made twelve requests. Yet, after he had touched it, two of the demands vanished—one pertaining to the evil aura of the Labyrinth God, and another linked to the Blood Ancestor.

This time, only four remained, with six demands having been "fulfilled."

The disappearance of the favor of one of the Nine True Gods was understandable.

Charlot Mecklenburg himself was a God ...

Chapter 162: The Advancement of Chemistry

Madame Lavoisier smiled and nodded immediately. “Your Highness, I would be very willing to contribute if you need my help.”

Joseph had not expected Lavoisier to hold his wife in such high regard. Though surprised, he expressed his gratitude. “It’s wonderful that you can assist.”

Lavoisier added, “Your Highness, Marianne has never attended university, but you can absolutely trust her skills in conducting experimen...

Chapter 161: The Father of Chemistry

Joseph couldn’t say he had merely heard of the name Lavoisier; it was more like it thundered in his ears.

The greatest French chemist of the 18th century, known as the "Father of Modern Chemistry" and "the Newton of Chemistry," he laid the foundation of modern chemistry. He proved the law of conservation of mass, defined the concept of "elements," invented the precursor to the periodic table of elements, established the theory of oxi...

Chapter 173: Mortar

At this time, mortars already existed.

The Germans used a large-caliber short-barrel mortar with a curved trajectory that could fire shells into the trenches of the Entente forces.

However, while it resembled a mortar, its concept was entirely different.

In reality, it was a type of howitzer, a breech-loading artillery piece with a trigger and requiring the loading of gunpowder. It was a fixed artillery position on the battlef...

Chapter 172: This is a Cannon

In the conference room of the Ritz Hotel in the center of Paris.

Outside, the rain continued to fall and the cold wind howled, but inside, the warmth of the stove made the room cozy and comfortable.

Steed arrived half an hour early to wait in the conference room.

Today was Halloween. He walked to the window, puffing on a cigar, and curiously watched the jack-o'-lanterns lit up on the street below.

An amusing...

Chapter 404: Revisiting the Radiant Holy Kingdom

All extraordinary abilities rely on transcendent energy. Mortals cannot wield them; only Transcendents who follow the corresponding paths can.

For example, Blood Glory belongs to the domain of malevolent energy. Charlot Mecklenburg could never condense the eight Knight Proofs.

Without transforming into a beastman, Charlot cannot activate Bloodfire Combat Energy either.

This minor spell, known as “Evil Eye,” though highly versatile, still depends on malevolent energy—na...

Chapter 403: The Young Man Who Mastered the Power of the Flame Evil God Anururu

Charlot Mecklenburg pushed open the carriage door, hooked onto its frame, and swung himself onto the roof.

Activating his Eagle Eye ability, he swiftly spotted his target within the crowd—a pale-faced young man.

Noticing Charlot’s gaze, the young man panicked and turned to flee into a nearby alley.

Charlot said calmly, “Herolf, get him. Alive.”

Herolf leapt from a nearby carriage, and in no time, he had the pale-faced young man in his grasp.

The young man...

Chapter 160: The Irresponsible Director of the Gunpowder Bureau

Reflecting on the idea of standardizing measurements, Joseph could not help but sigh.

The French Academy of Sciences had, under the proposals of several academic luminaries, prepared early on to establish a "Standards Committee" to unify measurement systems. Speaking of which, the French scientific community demonstrated remarkable foresight—this was the earliest initiative for standardized measurements in ...

Chapter 159: A Revolutionary Production Model

In fact, Joseph had already begun laying the groundwork to promote ready-made clothing even before this fashion week began.

For instance, he gave specific instructions to the fashion week’s designers: avoid the common silhouettes of the time that emphasized distinct chest, waist, and hip proportions. Instead, he encouraged designs with smooth transitions around the waist.

This was because garments emphasizing the chest...

Chapter 171: Steadfast Supporters

Kobdo's propaganda strategy achieved great success on the front lines.

Stimulated by breaking news and the deliberate guidance of front-line officers, grenade tutorials quickly gained popularity, becoming the most sought-after equipment on the front.

It was said that soldiers returning from the front had to successfully toss a few grenades into the enemy trenches, otherwise, they would be embarrassed to claim they h...

Chapter 402: The Oracle of the Serpent of Fate

Charlot Mecklenburg was never loyal to Emperor Julius VI!

As a transmigrator, why would he play the game of allegiance to the throne?

Charlot had never cared much for the laws of the Fars Empire either.

By Earth’s standards, many of Fars’ laws were, frankly, quite “illegal.”

As for the various crimes committed by Zimourman Axel Robin, Charlot had studied them thoroughly. Back when he helped Menielman Soumet burn certain records, he realized that by Earth’s mo...

Chapter 401: The Missing Captain Huntington

Charlot Mecklenburg had recently grown increasingly busy.

After securing a promise from his "future father-in-law," he and Antonio decided to hand over control of the eleven cities surrounding the Red Dragon Strait. These strategically critical cities, which were both a commercial hub and a defensive front against the Southern Orc Tribes, were to be managed by Antonio’s personnel. Entrusting them to someone else would likely make His Majesty of Britannia uneasy, so Antonio was the bes...

Chapter 158: Revenue Settlement

Fresselles added, "This is only the income for the organizing committee. The City Hall should have an additional several hundred thousand livres of revenue, but the exact amount will need to be calculated by their team."

Only the revenue from the Tuileries Palace and the amusement park belonged to the Fashion Week Organizing Committee. Extra income from sources such as public carriages, museums, and theaters fell under the jurisdiction of C...

Chapter 157: Win or Lose

In another private box on the second floor of the auction hall, Princess Maria recognized Clementine’s voice the moment she made her first bid. That chattering tone echoed so incessantly through Versailles that it was impossible not to remember.

Maria hadn’t expected her to compete for this necklace. But then again, she wasn’t surprised—wasn’t Clementine in Paris precisely to compete for him?

As Maria’s eyes returned to ...

Chapter 170: The "Tactician" Who Talks War on Paper

Kobdo's actions were swift. He chose to rent a factory across from Eric's aircraft factory and set up the "Meritorious Report" there.

The reason for choosing this location was twofold: firstly, because Paris's 20th district, like the 19th district, was a poor area, where rents were low, and cheap labor could be found.

On the other hand, Kobdo also considered Charles.

With the company gathered...

Chapter 169: Meritorious Report

When Kobdo arrived, Charles and Colonel Fernand were about to head to the officer's mess for a meal.

Kobdo's arrival was somewhat unexpected for Charles. He had just finished speaking with Kobdo over the phone around 10 a.m., and now, just two hours later, Kobdo was standing right in front of him. This was almost the same time he had reached the city defense headquarters.

Charles introduced him to Colonel Fernand and ...

Chapter 400: The Latecomers Are No Longer Welcome at the Table

The Brittany family’s burial ground, located in the Temple of the Serpent of Fate in the Lukavaro District, was constructed during the Sherlock dynasty and has stood for six epochs.

Charlot Mecklenburg had visited this place once before, accompanying Annie Mecklenburg. This time, he was here with her again.

However, their purpose had changed. The last visit had been to see Annie's aunt. Now, they came to bid farewell to Lady Nannie Bretagne Axel—the future Empress of the Fars ...
