Chapter 52 A Brand New World
A cold wind filled with coldness blew by. Russell, who was walking quickly, felt his neck chills. He couldn't help but tremble, buried his head a little deeper, and at the same time accelerated his pace towards the depths of the palace.
Looking at the exclusive study of His Majesty the Emperor, hundreds of meters away, Russell sighed in his heart.
In such cold weather, he should have stayed in his room and enjoyed the warmth brought by the magic air conditioner. While drinking steaming black tea, he enjoyed the newly produced landscape documentary "On the Synes Continent" by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but now he is forced to run to the palace more than ten kilometers away from his home. It is really a pain.
Thanks to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for inventing the comfortable and fast magic sedan, so that he would not spend too much time on the road, nor would he let the noble Emperor feel unhappy because he waited for too long.
However, during this journey after entering the palace, there was no convenient tool to use, so I could only rely on my own legs to walk over.
But the Kandra Empire Palace is the largest building complex on the continent. In order to reflect the atmosphere of the empire, almost any two buildings in the palace will be separated by a very long distance of hundreds or even thousands of meters, so it took more than twenty minutes for Russell to walk from the front hall to the private study where His Majesty the Emperor summoned him. This was based on his trotting all the way.
Thinking of this, Russell suddenly remembered something.
It is said that the palace supervisor once suggested to His Majesty the Emperor to add some magic lifts produced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce in the palace. This will save a lot of time, save a lot of time to travel in the palace, and save a lot of physical strength for His Majesty the Emperor.
However, this proposal, which was obviously very practical and easy to use, was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the reason given by His Majesty the Emperor is that it costs a lot of money. It is not worth it, but after Russell has observed the complex terrain in the palace, he suddenly feels that the real reason why His Majesty the Emperor rejects this proposal is probably not this.
In order to reflect the height of His Majesty the Emperor of the Kander Empire, the palace was actually built on a mountain with a high terrain, which also caused a huge gap between the palaces. For example, Russell now walked from the nave to His Majesty's private study, and the straight line distance was about hundreds of meters. However, the height gap was dozens of meters.
Such complex terrain certainly makes it very convenient for people to walk in the palace, but it can make the palace very easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very good to consider from the perspective of safety.
His Majesty the Emperor refused to place a magic lift that could be directly up and down in the palace. It was probably from this aspect.
Of course, there may be another meaning. That is, when holding court meetings, His Majesty the Emperor emphasized to the imperial ministers many times that we must vigorously develop the magic industry industry belonging to the Kandra Empire itself and strive to reduce our dependence on the New Air Chamber of Commerce.
Now he refuses to place a magic lift unique to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the palace, which can it be regarded as a leading example?
However, although Russell could understand His Majesty the Emperor's idea, he also felt that the Candela Empire, as one of the two major empires on the mainland, had to rely on a mere New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce in many things, but in some things, he could only helplessly admit that he had to rely on the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
For example, this time, His Majesty the Emperor urgently summoned what he wanted to discuss. It would be impossible to bypass the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in any case.
When he saw His Majesty the Emperor, he was standing by a wall in the study, staring at a huge map of the Synes continent hanging on it. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Hearing Russell's voice coming in, His Majesty the Emperor did not look back, but said directly: "Russell, come and take a look."
Russell quickly threw the coat he took off to the maid and walked over quickly.
"Your Majesty, I'm late. Please forgive me."
His Majesty Emperor Candela shook his head gently and picked up a thin stick at his hand. On the map, click the location of the Kandla Empire.
"Russell, did you see it? Our Candela Empire actually only occupied such a place on the Continent of Seines."
Russell looked up at the huge map, representing the Candela Empire, thinking that our Candela Empire is clearly the largest country on the Sainz Continent, occupying nearly a quarter of the huge territory on the Sainz Continent. His Majesty the Emperor actually thinks it is small?
Of course, as the emperor of the empire, of course, I will never feel that there is too much land under my name.
Based on His Majesty’s inner thoughts, I’m afraid I can’t help but put the entire Continent of Sainz under my own rule.
"Your Majesty, as long as we continue to work hard to govern and strengthen our national strength, the Kandra Empire will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future." Russell responded in a deep voice.
His Majesty Emperor Candela smiled, moved the thin stick in his hand, and clicked on the blank space representing the endless sea on the left of the map.
"You may think that our Kander Empire is already big enough, but think about it, the empire only occupies a small area on the Siones continent, and outside the Siones continent there are the Magic Cloud Continent and at least three undiscovered continents. In fact, in this world, our Kander Empire is actually nothing."
Russell's heart moved, turned to look at His Majesty the Emperor, and found that his face was full of sighs and his expression was quite emotional.
"Your Majesty, you have also read the latest issue of "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly", right?"
"Yes." His Majesty Emperor Candela nodded. "The latest issue of "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly" has released the latest information obtained by their Ocean Exploration Fleet. The information shows that the existence of the Magic Cloud Continent has been confirmed. And according to the detection results of the New Fei Chamber of Commerce's detection team, the area of the Magic Cloud Continent is probably larger than our Sainz Continent."
"In addition to the Magic Cloud Continent, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also obtained information about the possible existence of the other three continents. If it is discovered, then our world will suddenly have four huge continents, far more than the only one in our Sainz Continent."
Speaking of this, His Majesty Emperor Candela let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"We used to think that this continent was the whole world. As a result, the legendary things are actually real, and we are just wastes who have been staying on the Continent of Synes!"
Russell knew that His Majesty the Emperor was just expressing his feelings at this time and did not need to answer the conversation himself, so he just kept silent.
Sure enough, after a moment of emotion, Emperor Candela suddenly knocked the thin stick in his hand on the map, and suddenly increased his voice.
"Russell, after learning this news, do you still think our empire is big?"
A strange look flashed quickly across Russell's face.
After thinking for a moment, he responded in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to conquer a wider world, I am willing to follow you to the death."
His Majesty Emperor Candela nodded with satisfaction.
"You have such a good idea, but you can only have an idea at the moment. Even if we want to conquer the new continent, we don't even have a ship that can drive to the new continent. That's all nonsense."
Russell immediately raised his head and his eyes shone slightly.
"Your Majesty, as long as you give your order, the Imperial Navy will have no complaints even if it goes tens of thousands of kilometers away to fight for you!"
His Majesty Emperor Candela smiled, turned around and turned to his seat, and then signaled Russell to sit down opposite him.
"I am very happy with the loyalty of the Imperial Navy to me, but as I said just now, the Imperial Navy does not even have a ship that can sail tens of thousands of kilometers to the New World. No matter how loyal you are, you can't do anything for me."
Hearing this sentence, Russell further determined what the Emperor Majesty meant, and suddenly became excited and asked tentatively: "Then your Majesty, you..."
His Majesty Emperor Candela raised his hand and interrupted Russell and asked back, "Russell, tell me, is it possible for the New Aircraft Chamber to sell the magic ships they can use to conduct ocean voyages to the Imperial Navy?"
Russell was immediately delighted, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. After frowning for a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only started to put into production of ocean magic ships in recent years. So far, as far as I know, all the large cargo magic ships and magic frigates they have that are capable of ocean sailing are only more than 100, no more than 150. These ships are barely enough for their own use, and I'm afraid there is no extra to sell them to us."
"There is nothing in this world that cannot be sold." His Majesty Emperor Candela said with great certainty. "The reason why I don't sell is that the price offered is not high enough."
"But your Majesty... the Imperial Navy doesn't have that much money..." Russell deliberately looked helpless.
His Majesty Emperor Candela smiled slightly, stretched out a finger and pointed Russell, and said with a smile: "Don't cry in front of me, I am still very clear about the situation of the Imperial Navy. I asked you to come this time mainly to let you explore the New Air Chamber of Commerce's verbal rituals first and see what price they are willing to sell ocean magic ships. If the price is right, I don't mind proposing to the Imperial Council to increase the Navy's budget next year."
Finally, he got the affirmative answer he wanted from His Majesty the Emperor's mouth. Russell was overjoyed and quickly stood up and saluted him, saying respectfully: "My dear ministers representing the Imperial Navy, thank you for your care!"
"I'm for the future of the empire." His Majesty Emperor Candela turned his head and looked at the huge map on the wall and sighed softly. "When the legend was just a legend, we could still stay here to see the sky. Now that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has put a brand new world in front of us, if it is still the same as before, the future of the empire will be unpredictable." (To be continued)
