There was an attempt to bribe Miss Angela in exchange for a chance to enter the tax department of the administrative department.

    But after the consul lady accepted the gift impolitely, she thought the gift was worthless, and the lion asked for 20 jinnals.

    What''s more, she not only takes money but also kicks this guy out of the government office and announces that the territory will never employ him.

    Later, in a high-level administrative meeting, the consul, regardless of the opposition of many people, forcibly issued a prosecution law.

    At the same time, it also announced to all civilians in the territory that once any bribery related to civil servants is found, it can be reported to the ICAC of the administrative department. The ICAC will charge a high fine to the briber, and the fine will be shared equally between the ICAC and the informant.

    Yes, 50% each!

    The cunning lady consul also took "20 jinnals" as a fine, 10 jinnals were allocated to the newly established ICAC, and the other 10 went into her own pocket.

    This on-the-spot teaching stimulated everyone''s eyes. It''s 10 jinnals. It''s still legal income.

    Even the Chief Secretary of the administrative department, the average monthly salary is less than one jinnal.

    As for bribers, permanent reform is only the slightest punishment. When bribes reach a certain amount of money, the island''s labor camp will warmly welcome them. Well, hard labor starts at least five years. After five years of hard labor, they have to peel off their skin if they don''t die

    In addition, the director of the ICAC is concurrently held by the consul, which shows the detachment of the ICAC.

    In fact, those who know a little about the territorial power structure know that Miss Angela''s attitude actually represents the will of the Lord!

    That is to say, your Lord is extremely disgusted with bribery.

    Renault will certainly be surprised that Ronald dares to act recklessly.

    But this guy is a little smart, his name is "dedicated to the Lord", this kind of behavior is just playing the edge ball.

    Renault has not said anything, the girl has poked Liana with her fingers. The little girl quickly takes out her notepad and starts to write and draw on it with a quill pen.

    Obviously, this kind of sidekick behavior is also recorded in the notebook. Ronald''s future behavior will be focused by the consul lady

    Renault could not help shaking his head, but did not say anything, just staring at the island guards rolling in the mud pit, he was quite curious about what Ronald said about the "flame crystal snail".

    Well, this guy is the Lord and has immunity. How can the Lord accept bribes?

    Double Dog!

    In fact, Ronald''s motivation for giving gifts is not as dirty as girls think.

    He did it out of pure admiration.

    Ronald is a senior pirate on the island. He has been on the island for more than 10 years, but he has never seen anyone who can bring earth shaking changes to the island in just 10 days.

    Every winter in the past, people on the island were bound to starve to death. But now, with the rapid increase of population, everyone is very confident that this winter will be a full-time one.

    This is evidenced by the continuous black smoke in Hongshi Town, which is the white razor clam and other conches and seashells dug up by the temporary workers of the Department of Fisheries in the sand drill.

    So Ronald''s first reaction after he found the flame crystal snail was to give it to his Lord. In his eyes, only his Lord is worthy of the precious flame crystal snail.

    Blame only his "flatterer" image, which has been deeply rooted in Renault and Angela''s eyes.

    Two minutes later, the team members of the island protection team had dug out a big pit with a radius of more than 4 meters in the Mudan, and found a total of 7 flaming crystal snails of different sizes.

    After carefully cleaning the fire crystal snail, a team member of the island guard used the cleanest linen they had, holding the fire crystal snail, and respectfully sent it to the Lord''s pavilion.

    Just a look, Renault three can''t help but exclaim.

    This kind of conch is so beautiful!

    At the first sight of the flaming crystal conch, Renault felt that it was not a conch, but a ruby carved into the shape of a conch.

    To be exact, it should be a gem with a flame burning inside.

    These flame crystal snails vary in size. The largest one is almost as long as the palm of the hand, and the smallest one is slightly longer than the middle finger. The material is extremely crystal clear without a trace of variegation. In the afternoon sun, it looks very bright and beautiful.

    The grooves are evenly distributed on the shell, and the ribs are slightly uneven, forming a strange pattern like flowing water, which adds a sense of delicacy.

    It''s incredible that there is a kind of haze like strange substance inside the flame crystal snail, which flows slowly in the shell and looks like a burning flame.

    It is shaped like crystal and contains flame, which is the reason why it is named "flame crystal snail".

    On the earth, all shells of conch and conch are mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Mollusks get calcium carbonate from sea water and food. A special gland cell secretes calcium carbonate from the blood, and the shells will grow slowly.But in the alien world, miracles happen!

    Under the action of magic power, this kind of conch has an extremely rare variation. It can absorb silicon dioxide, and then use silicon dioxide to make conch shells. Silicon dioxide is the main component of crystal.

    So, the natural crystal shell appeared!

    However, the role of the flame crystal snail is not only to watch, it also has a more incredible role - lighting!

    Once it''s dark, the flame like strange material in the shell will automatically emit a fiery light.

    Yes, at the moment when the sun sets, it seems that something is triggered, and the surface of the shell will ignite a "flame". In the daytime, no matter how it is operated, even if it is placed in the black box, the shell will not move.

    Strangely, this kind of light is almost the same as a burning flame. It will fluctuate slightly like a flame, and even be divided into different levels. However, there is no temperature, and you can''t feel the heat when you touch the flame. It''s a magic trick.

    This kind of flame is bright and stable, and can be seen within 3 meters. If it is placed in a room within 20 square meters, the whole room will be illuminated very brightly, which can be called an excellent lighting source.

    As the flame crystal snail continues to glow, the strange material inside it will gradually fade, but as long as it is placed in the sun, the material will recover, just like a rechargeable battery.

    In addition, this alien "battery" can''t be charged indefinitely, and the strange material will be consumed slowly. After five years of use, the strange material will disappear, and the lighting effect will be greatly reduced.

    In a word, the flame crystal snail is a natural gem and "light bulb"!

    Even in the alien world where there are many variations such as dogs, the flaming crystal snail is also a rare one. It can only be found in the shallow sea where people rarely visit, and its number is very rare.

    Seeing that the consul''s young lady couldn''t put it down, Renault simply threw all the flame crystal snails to her.

    Obviously, like the earth girl, the alien girl also has a "dragon blood". When she sees something bright, her brain will not work very well.

    Anyway, for Renault, an engineering dog who believes in pragmatism, the flame crystal snail is just a rarity. It is not so useful. The so-called lighting function can be completely replaced by magic stone lamp.

    But to Renault''s surprise, after playing for a while, the consul only picked out two smaller flame crystal snails and put them in her pocket. She said softly, "the others should be put in the storeroom of the Lord''s mansion..."

    After a glance at the surface of the flame crystal snail, Renault suddenly heard a passage from Seth.

    "Most of the strange creatures in this world have runes more or less in their bodies. We can''t see them, which doesn''t mean they don''t exist. Runes may be in the magic crystal or magic stone, or in the soul, or in other indescribable places."

    "There''s even a more radical view - runes, everywhere!"
