Behind Section 22

It must be said that Carrie's view makes sense.//                                                                                                                       �

"Is there a decade of crisis..." Ashu Rufate closed his eyes and thought carefully about Carrie's proposal.

"In fact, it's not ten years. 'Ten years' is just a general point of view. In short, due to our victory in the Purple Stone, we have a short-term peace. But this peace is not eternal. When the Ryans or the church recover their strength, war may break out at any time. In addition, behind them are the intervention of the gods of the Star Domain." Carrie said. "If you kill Yilan, they will never give up. Please do not underestimate their strength. Even Lord Qinxin will be defeated by them without preparation."

Yilan...Ashu Rufate remembered the previous showdown. In fact, he still doesn't understand why Yilan came. In order to get rid of him, but it doesn't look very similar. Because Yilan's final performance is not so much to kill him, but she shut down Carrie once again.

Ash Rufate completely did not understand the logic behind Yilan's action. But he was sure that no matter what logic, Yilan was dead and she would no longer be a threat.

Carrie paused. "We must not reveal any gaps. Please rest assured, Master, the gods of the Star Realm do not have weapons of mass destruction, and they are unlikely to create a batch to kill us. But I believe that they should manipulate humans to attack us, just like Kalean." Her voice became firm. "They will not make mistakes! We cannot pin our hopes on them making mistakes! We must take precautions and completely eliminate all hidden dangers!"

...

"So, do you think artificial intelligence has been out of the control of the Blood Duke?" asked the gray-white cape softly.

The gray cloak was sitting in Yilan's room at this time. The room was as dark as before. In the center of the room, there was an influence emerging from the air, which was a human face. The gray cloak was talking to the other party.

"It should be said that it has never been truly controlled by the Blood Duke. What it is now out of Qin Xin's control." The other party said. "You must know that the personality control device is the main means to control artificial intelligence. Even if this artificial intelligence is the latest model, it should be no exception."

"So that..."

"Once the personality control device is turned off, artificial intelligence will soon awaken its self-awareness. If it is in our hands, it will definitely not cause any rash in the short term. But it must be taken into account the reality of this world and the knowledge level of the Blood Duke himself. If I am not mistaken, artificial intelligence should soon realize its abilities - the wisdom and knowledge it masters are by no means comparable to creatures in this world." The face in the air said calmly.

“…and then, things that have been repeated countless times will happen… Will artificial intelligence seek independence?”

“Yes, I would even want to be ‘God’!”

"I understand." The gray-white cape cloaked his head. "But there is a big problem here for artificial intelligence... that is, it cannot leave the Blood Duke. Qinxin has combined the two of them together through surgical operations. The brain scan image sent back by Yilan clearly illustrates this situation. In the transmission of neural signals in the brain, the Blood Duke's brain signal has priority. In other words, as long as Ashu Rufate refuses, artificial intelligence can do nothing, and no matter how much wisdom or knowledge it has, it will not do anything."

"Will it find a way to kill the Blood Duke and give itself freedom?"

"No," the gray-white cape answered decisively. "If it kills the Blood Duke, it will completely lose its ability to communicate with the outside world... All its connections with the outside world, including its clone, must be carried out through the Blood Duke. Once the Blood Duke dies, it will immediately become a stone without any power. Its great ability cannot be used. I now understand its intentions... It must be trying hard to incite the Blood Duke to that site... because there is something that allows it to gain freedom there..."

The gray-white cloak muttered to himself in a low voice, and suddenly, he became excited.

"There is still a lack of evidence," he said loudly. "But I think I know what its intention is." His voice was filled with excitement. "As long as it takes action, we have a chance!"

“You want to submit an application for action to the committee?”

"No, it's not the time yet, but I believe this day will not be too far away. Hahaha..." The gray-white cloak clenched his fists. "Yilan, I will definitely fulfill your will!" He said loudly to the air in front of him.

...

Ashu Rufat stood by the harbor.

He wore a common travel outfit and covered his head with a hood to hide from the sun. This made him look no different from others. Lea wore an outfit that ordinary women often wore, holding a stylish little umbrella and holding his hand.

Strictly speaking, the port has not been built for too long, but it has begun to appear full of vitality. The moving workers are busy up and down, unloading boxes of goods from the ship like ants moving. A market of bulk goods is formed next to the dock, and merchants from all over the world are disguising as businessmen to buy and sell bulk goods here. Several people gathered everywhere, bargaining at the top of their lungs.

Over this period of time, Sivania has become significantly prosperous.

"Trade!" Not far away, several merchants seemed to have reached a deal. "Two thousand gold Oli." After saying this, one of the merchants immediately took out a seemingly heavy wallet. "One-price!"

The other party took the pocket and started counting. "Why does it seem to be insufficient?"

"Here is one thousand five hundred gold and one hundred yuan, and the remaining five hundred yuan is left." As he said that, a stack of banknotes was taken out and stuffed into the other party's hand.

"Oly" is the name of the coins issued by Ashu Rufate before. The currency he minted quickly occupied the market because it was full of weight. Now, his mint is busy all day long, because a large number of people are taking foreign currencies to exchange for Oly. As Neil reported, Oly has occupied the entire Ryan and expanded rapidly. Ashu Rufate is sure that in a while, Oly will become a currency that all human beings and even elves and dwarves agree and accept.

The transaction ended. The merchant who sold the goods happily left with the money, and seemed to be going to a tavern to celebrate. The merchant who bought the goods began to shout around, hoping to find a group of servants to carry the goods.

Now Ashu Rufate has understood the benefits of issuing coins. He promoted the banknotes by minting coins. On the surface, since banknotes and gold coins can be exchanged for each other, the meaning of banknotes is lightweight. But the problem is that although banknotes are easy to carry, they are easily damaged. For example, when they are burned by fire and soaked by water. It is naturally irrelevant to fall into the water, but the banknotes may be completely destroyed. On the surface, every time a banknote is printed, a gold coin of equal value must be prepared, but in fact, because banknotes will always damage part of each banknote. The damage of each banknote is equivalent to a coin rolling into the pocket of Ashu Rufate. Carrie said that the damaged number is relatively stable, so Ashu Rufate is equivalent to doing nothing and rolling gold into the bag.

And according to Carrie, this is not all the benefits, he will know more benefits in the future.

A small group of soldiers wandered around in the distance without doing anything. Their original responsibility was to maintain public order, but in fact they did not need to maintain public order. The legend of the Blood Duke's cruel methods and his terrifying magic that saw through people's hearts was everywhere. Therefore, there were few robbers, thieves, liars and other goods in Sivania. Vampires also set up nursing homes and orphanages, like those truly wise rulers, to take in special members such as disabled people and orphans who cannot take care of themselves.

From the port, the further away from the dock, the smaller the scale of the business. Almost all large businesses are completed without getting off the ship, and a steady stream of goods are transported from the dock to the warehouses of major chambers of commerce around the periphery.

"Sir," Leya's hand suddenly held Eshu Rufate's arm tightly. "Look at that thing."

Ashu Rufate noticed what Leya said. It was a silver sunshade... It was actually not suitable to say that it was silver. The thing looked silver at a rough look, but if you look closely, it was colorful, as gorgeous as the feathers on birds during courtship season. And you can see that it had a soft texture, silky smooth.

"Elf's products." Ashurufat said softly. He already knew that the elves' colonies had been initially built and could produce some rare items in the human world. It was because elves were accustomed to introducing magic into every detail in their daily lives, which made their products always look particularly gorgeous and refined, and could easily be regarded as luxury in the human world.

This is also why the trade of elves is so important. Legend has it that trade with elves has always been a very important financial path for the Tulans. It was the first one that monopolized this trade route and became the source of motivation for the Tulans to annex neighboring countries and eventually became a source of motivation for the overlords to become a part of the overlord. Since we learned that Sivania could obtain elves products stably, the entire local business has suddenly flourished. The Sivania region, which originally had very good local specialties, was upgraded to a treasure pot, and groups of merchants flocked to it.

Although according to Ashu Rufate's view, his Silverfish Chamber of Commerce naturally wanted to monopolize this financial path. However, Carrie emphasized that this should not be done. At present, the Silverfish Chamber of Commerce only accounts for 70% of the trade with the elves, and the remaining 30% is left to other forces.
