Chapter 179 In the blink of an eye

"Could you grill me a skewer of meat, Laffitte? Thanks!"

Alice leaned against the bench in the courtyard, putting her busy affairs behind her. The barbecue grill in the courtyard sizzled as the elven maid placed frozen meat skewers on the grill.

"teacher......."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Vera? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Vera quickly moved her few belongings to Alice's room last year. The bed in the Hong Kong Coliseum is very large and can accommodate many people.

"Ugh~ I'm alright, I'm just hungry."

Vera sat next to Alice, feigning composure, but unconsciously leaning closer to Alice, her subtle, magical fragrance enticing Alice's sense of smell.

But at least for now, this little bit of aroma couldn't compare to the sizzling chicken skewers on the grill. Raffis picked up the jar of spices and twisted it onto the skewers, releasing bursts of fragrance.

The Red House is no longer a government office location, so it is only natural that the original offices used for the temporary government were moved to the office building in the new city area, and this palace complex continued to be used by Alicia and Alice.

Since stepping down from all her positions, Alicia has been enjoying a period of leisure. However, the only thing she has been doing recently is making a movie. You should know that since film technology was mastered, Alicia has not made a single sound film. Theaters have appeared, but most of the films are silent films.

So Alicia set out to produce a sound movie, which is still in production, so Alicia is still busy on set.

Alice patted Vera's head, and the little one blushed, her expression turning to one of enjoyment. Alice then placed her hand on Vera's shoulder, looking at the little one.

When she first arrived, Vera was thin and dirty. After all, she had been hiding from the church and only came to the capital by chance.

However, the little guy is now very well fed. Of course, Alice still gives him less fried chicken, since she doesn't want to feed him into the shape of a tank.

Fried chicken restaurants are popping up everywhere these days, and people everywhere regard them as the epitome of fast food. After all, fast food is a novel food that is quick to serve and high in oil and protein, which can satisfy even the most discerning gourmets.

"By the way, Vera, have you finished?"

"Of course! Teacher, hehe, Vera is a genius beauty!"

Vera smiled confidently, her eyes then darting towards Alice. Alice, of course, understood what she meant.

"Yes, as expected of Vera, her students are indeed outstanding. Of course, we'll go and take a look."

"Then please take care of me~"

What Alice was referring to was none other than the most important thing—radar, including the SC-type air search radar and the SG-type sea search radar. Before them, some shortwave radars had already been erected along the coastline thirty kilometers west of Trian. These giant iron frames stood there on the shore, surrounded by barbed wire and patrolled by sentries; it was a classified area.

The project Vera was involved in was another key project of the radar team, namely a practical surface/air search radar, which will be installed on all Amelansey ships for surface/air search.

"This is today's report, which Mr. Brett Carter would like you to review in person."

Rafis handed a series of reports to Alice at the right moment, who nodded, looked at the maid, and winked at her.

"Thank you, Raffis."

The maid floated to the side, and Vera's mouth tightened slightly, barely visible to others, as she made a faint, almost inaudible sound.

Brett Carter delivered good news, or at least it appeared to be so. The report indicated that the powerful operation in the capital had been a success, uprooting several criminal groups, including one led by a magician.

The mage managed to suppress the surrounding police officers with firepower. In the chaos, some officers were seriously injured by the magic. The situation was eventually resolved with the help of Versailles SWAT.

"The mage was equipped with multiple auxiliary magic computing units produced by Magic Future and used a third-generation improved staff. He was able to use powerful spells that were previously difficult to use in the magic system, such as magic shields and electric energy compression. He also constructed complex combat magic by using multiple spells. If Versailles SWAT had not used a flashbang to render him unable to resist during the operation, the situation might have deteriorated further."

"The police have already urgently hired a magic consultant from the Versailles Academy of Magic. The two parties have reached a memorandum of understanding. The Versailles Academy of Magic stated that the mage's combat magic system is an epoch-making combat system and is considering using it as a template to reform the combat magic department."

Alice nodded: That's not true. The magic in this world originally consisted of throwing fireballs and ice spikes. There were no elemental reactions at all. It was incredibly boring. The speed of those fireballs was ten times slower than that of the A105.

Therefore, she had long ago said that magic should not be what it is now, and inspired by computers, she proposed an external auxiliary magic device.

Looking at it now, the effect is very good, but the people who know how to use it are not our own.

She shook her head helplessly and continued reading.

"Through raids on the magic and its gang, the police obtained clues about the masterminds behind Versaillesia—in addition to its mastermind, the Halvin Gang, there was also the Primal Order."

The known information about the two organizations was attached to the side, and Alice confidently read it.

"No wonder prices in Port Hilla suddenly changed a few days ago. Well, the Halvin Gang is actually not reliable."

If they wanted to wage a commercial war, why not do it right now, when the war had just ended and the government was still consolidating its power? The infrastructure in Port Hilla was basically complete, the national grain reserves were plentiful, and there were no natural disasters. Why wage a food war at this time? Alice was simply throwing money away.

While waging commercial warfare might not be a capital offense, the fact that these scoundrels colluded with criminal gangs to disrupt social order and production is truly a capital offense.

Alice was still somewhat interested in the so-called Primordial Order, after all, according to historical records, this order had a long history of at least a thousand years.

Raffis brought over chicken skewers, and the Maillard reaction was fully utilized on the charcoal fire, turning the skewers golden brown on both sides. The maid casually scooped two bottles of iced cola from the ice bucket and pried open the caps with a bottle opener.

"Oh, it smells so good, Vera."

Alice offered a skewer to Vera, but the little girl didn't take it. Instead, she leaned in and bit into the skewer.

"Is this considered...feeding?"

Alice tilted her head and watched Vera gently bite into the chicken until only the skewer in Alice's hand remained.
