MTLNOVEL Chapter 330 Can you tell me more about it?
After arriving at their destination, Su Chen and Edmund discovered that the space-time fluctuations were indeed extremely strong. The center of the energy fluctuations was an ancient ruin, surrounded by a mysterious and strange atmosphere.
"This is where the fluctuations come from," Edmund whispered, "We must be careful."
Su Chen nodded and led Edmund into the ruins step by step. In the ruins, some ancient stone pillars and dilapidated buildings could be vaguely seen, which looked desolate and gloomy. Su Chen used the instrument in his hand to measure the energy fluctuations around him, gradually approaching the core of the fluctuations.
Deep in the ruins, they found a strange stone tablet, which was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a faint blue light. Su Chen knew that this was the source of the fluctuations in time and space.
"We must block this fluctuation as soon as possible." Su Chen said, and began to study the runes on the stone tablet.
Edmund stood guard to ensure their safety. Su Chen concentrated on breaking the runes one by one, trying to control this powerful energy.
Suddenly, a strong vibration came from the stone tablet. The winter in Rochester was bitterly cold, but Su Chen never slacked off. He knew that his manor played an important role in the economy and life of the entire region. He not only had to ensure the prosperity of the manor, but also took care of the lives of every worker.
"Mr. Su, someone wants to see you." Old John walked in from outside and interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.
"Who's coming?" Su Chen asked.
"It's a businessman. He heard that we have a batch of arms and wanted to buy some," Old John explained.
Su Chen nodded: "Bring him in."
Soon after, a tall, well-dressed middle-aged man walked into the study. He introduced himself, "Mr. Su, I'm Henry White, a businessman. I heard that you have some arms here and I want to take a look."
Su Chen smiled and nodded, motioning Henry to follow him to the warehouse. In the warehouse, the batch of arms lay quietly in the corner, as if they had been waiting for too long.
"These are the weapons we have, you can take a look." Su Chen said.
Henry examined it carefully and nodded with satisfaction: “These weapons are well preserved, I am willing to buy them at a reasonable price.”
Su Chen thought about it and agreed to Henry's proposal. He knew that this batch of arms would need to be disposed of eventually, and instead of letting them continue to accumulate dust, it would be better to sell them to someone in need.
After the transaction was completed, Henry said gratefully: "Mr. Su, thank you very much for your trust. This batch of arms is very important to us."
Su Chen smiled slightly: "You're welcome, I hope these weapons can be used in the right place."
After sending Henry away, Su Chen felt a little relieved. He knew that disposing of these arms not only solved a problem, but also brought income to the manor.
As winter deepened, the weather in Rochester became more severe. Su Chen stepped up the management of the estate to ensure that every worker could survive this cold winter. He added heating equipment, distributed more food and clothing, and arranged some entertainment activities so that everyone could relax after work.
One night, Su Chen was studying an ancient manuscript in his study when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He stood up, walked over to open the door, and saw Edmund standing at the door with a stern face.
"Mr. Su, we have discovered new space-time fluctuations, and this time the situation is more serious than before." Edmund said with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Su Chen's heart tightened: "Tell me in detail."
Edmund took out a report, pointed at the data and map on it and said, "We have detected strong space-time fluctuations in several different places, and the intensity of these fluctuations is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't deal with it in time, it may cause a greater disaster."
Su Chen read the report carefully, frowning: "It seems we must take action immediately."
Edmund nodded. "Yes, we need to rush to the scene as soon as possible, investigate the source of these fluctuations, and find a way to seal them off."
Su Chen made a quick decision: "Okay, I'll get ready to go right away."
He called Old John and the estate's managers together again and explained the next arrangements. Then, he took the necessary equipment and information and followed Edmund on a new journey.
On the way to the destination, in Rochester's manor, Su Chen faces different challenges every day. He not only has to manage the manor, but also has to deal with the complex relationship with these dignitaries. These British nobles and warlords always make various requests, sometimes hoping to obtain some information, and sometimes borrowing Su Chen's influence to achieve certain political goals.
One day, Su Chen was standing in front of the window of his study, thinking about how to deal with some recent affairs. Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door. Su Chen turned around and saw Old John walking in with a serious expression.
"Sir, a nobleman wants to see you. He claims to be Sir Philip and has something important to discuss with you," said Old John.
Su Chen nodded: "Let him in."
Soon after, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a proud look walked into the study. He introduced himself: "Mr. Su, I am Sir Philip. We have met at several banquets in London before."
Su Chen smiled and responded: "Of course I remember, Sir Philip, please take a seat. I wonder what brings you here this time?"
Philip sat down with a complicated expression on his face: "Mr. Su, I know you have some arms, and we are currently facing some troubles, and we urgently need this batch of arms to solve the problem."
Su Chen's heart was moved, but he remained calm on the surface: "Oh? Can you tell me in detail?"
Philip hesitated for a moment, then said, "We have recently encountered some troubles in the border area. A rebel force threatens our safety. We need your help and provide some weapons so that we can quell the rebellion."
Su Chen pondered for a moment. He knew that this request was not a simple transaction, but involved more complicated politics and power struggles. He had to deal with it carefully, neither offending these dignitaries nor being easily involved in their disputes.
"Sir Philip, I understand your difficulties. However, the whereabouts of this batch of arms is of great importance, and I need time to consider and evaluate it." Su Chen said.
Philip nodded: "I understand your concerns, Mr. Su. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible because time is tight. If you can help us, I, Philip, will definitely remember your kindness."
Su Chen smiled and replied: "Thank you for your understanding, I will give you a reply as soon as possible."
