Chapter 52 A Whole New World

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Russell, who was walking fast, felt a chill on his neck, couldn't help shivering, buried his head a little deeper, and at the same time quickened his pace towards the depths of the palace.

Looking at His Majesty's exclusive study room hundreds of meters away, Russell secretly sighed.

In such a cold weather, he should have stayed in his room, enjoying the warmth brought by the magic air conditioner, while drinking steaming black tea, while enjoying the scenery documentary "Looking down on Sainz" just produced by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce. "Mainland" is right, but now he is forced to go to the palace more than ten kilometers away from his home, which is really a pain.

Thanks to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for inventing a comfortable and fast magic car, so that he would not spend too much time on the road, and would not make His Majesty the emperor unhappy because of waiting too long.

However, during the journey after entering the palace, there were no convenient tools to use, and one could only rely on one's own legs to walk through.

However, the Candela Imperial 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 hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters. It would take more than twenty minutes just to walk from the front hall to the private study where His Majesty summoned him—this was based on his trotting all the way.

Thinking of this, Russell suddenly remembered something.

It is said that the director of the palace once suggested to His Majesty the emperor to add some magic lifts produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the palace, which can save a lot of time and save a lot of time for walking in the palace. It can also save a lot of energy for His Majesty the Emperor.

But this obviously very practical and useful proposal was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor.

Although the reason given by His Majesty the Emperor is that it will cost a lot of money. not worth it. However, after observing the complex terrain in the palace now, Russell suddenly felt that the real reason for His Majesty's rejection of this proposal might not be this.

In order to reflect the aloofness of His Majesty the Emperor of the Candela Empire, the imperial palace is actually built on a mountain with a very high terrain, which also makes the gaps between the various palaces very large. For example, Russell now walks from the nave to His Majesty’s private study. The straight-line distance is about several 100 meters. The height difference is also tens of meters.

Such complex terrain certainly makes it very convenient for people to walk through the palace, but it can make the palace very easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very good in terms of security.

His Majesty the Emperor refused to install a magic lift that could go straight up and down in the palace, probably because of this aspect.

Of course, there may be another meaning, that is, His Majesty the Emperor has emphasized to the imperial ministers many times recently that he must vigorously develop the magic industry belonging to the Candela Empire itself, and strive to reduce dependence on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now that he refuses to install the unique magical lift from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the palace, can he be regarded as setting an example?

However, although Russell could understand His Majesty's thoughts, he also felt that the Candela Empire, as one of the two largest empires in the mainland, was not advisable for such a large country to rely on a mere new flying chamber of commerce for many things. But in some things, he can only admit helplessly. You have to rely on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

For example, this time His Majesty the Emperor urgently summoned him to discuss something, and it was impossible to bypass the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce anyway.

When he saw His Majesty the Emperor, he was standing by a wall of the study, staring at a huge map of Sainz's continent hanging on the wall, as if he was thinking about something.

Hearing the sound of Russell entering the door, His Majesty the Emperor did not turn his head, but said directly: "Russell, come and have a look."

Russell hurriedly 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 lightly, picked up a thin stick at hand, and marked the location of the Candela Empire on the map.

"Russell, have you seen it? Our Candela Empire actually only occupies such a place on the Sains Continent."

Russell looked up at the huge map, which represented 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 is still too young?

Of course, as the emperor of the empire, of course he would never feel that he had too much land under his name.

Based on His Majesty's inner thoughts, I'm afraid he can't wait to bring the entire Sainz continent under his rule.

"Your Majesty, as long as we continue to work hard and strengthen our national strength, the Candela Empire will become stronger and stronger in the future." Russell replied in a deep voice.

His Majesty Emperor Candela smiled, moved the thin stick in his hand, and clicked on the blank space on the left side of the map representing the endless sea.

"You may think that our Candela Empire is big enough, but if you think about it, the empire only occupies a small area on the Sainz Continent, and outside of the Sainz Continent, there is the Magic Cloud Continent and at least three other lands that have no land. Ascertained continent. So in fact, in this world, our Candela Empire is actually nothing at all.”

With a thought in his heart, Russell turned his head 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 Kendela nodded. "The latest issue of "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly" announced the latest information obtained by their ocean-going exploration fleet. The information shows that the existence of the Magic Cloud Continent has been confirmed. And according to the detection results of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's detection team, the Magic Cloud Continent The area is probably even bigger than our Sains Continent."

"In addition to the Moyun Continent, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also obtained information about the possible existence of three other continents. If it is found out, then our world will suddenly have four huge continents. It’s not just the only piece of our Sains Continent.”

Having said that, His Majesty Emperor Kendela let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"Fortunately, we used to think that this continent was the whole of this world, but looking at it now, those legendary things are actually true, and we are just waste who have been staying on the Sainz continent!"

Russell knew that His Majesty the Emperor was only expressing emotion at this time and did not need to answer the words himself, so he just remained silent.

Sure enough, after a moment of emotion, His Majesty Emperor Kendela suddenly tapped the thin stick in his hand on the map, and suddenly raised his voice.

"Russell, after knowing this news, do you still think our empire is big?"

A strange expression quickly flashed across Russell's face.

After thinking for a moment, he replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to conquer a wider world, I will follow you to the death."

His Majesty Emperor Kendela nodded in satisfaction.

"It's good that you have this idea, but right now you can only have an idea. Even if we want to conquer a new continent, but we don't even have a ship that can sail to the new continent, then what we say is nonsense. "

Russell immediately raised his head, his eyes shone slightly.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give an 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 back to his seat, and motioned for Russell to sit opposite him.

"I am very happy for 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, there is nothing you can do for me. I can do anything."

Hearing this sentence, Russell further confirmed His Majesty's meaning, and immediately became excited, and asked tentatively: "Then, Your Majesty, you..."

His Majesty Emperor Candela raised his hand to interrupt Russell, and asked back: "Russell, tell me, is it possible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to sell the magic ships they can use for ocean-going voyages to the Imperial Navy?"

Russell was overjoyed immediately, but his face showed a look of embarrassment. He frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only started to mass-produce ocean-going magic ships in the past few years. So far As far as I know, all the large cargo magic ships and magic frigates they own that are capable of ocean voyages add up to just over one hundred, never more than one hundred and fifty. These ships are only for their own use. Barely enough, I am afraid there is no surplus to sell to us."

"There is nothing in this world that cannot be sold." His Majesty Emperor Candela said with great certainty. "The reason why it is not sold is that the price offered is not high enough."

"But Your Majesty...the Imperial Navy doesn't have that much money..." Russell deliberately put on a look of helplessness.

His Majesty Emperor Candela smiled slightly, pointed Russell with a finger, and said with a smile: "Don't cry poorly in front of me, I still know the situation of the Imperial Navy very well. I called you this time mainly because I want you to go first Find out what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is saying and see what price they are willing to sell the ocean-going magic ship. If the price is right, I don’t mind proposing to the Imperial Parliament to increase the navy’s budget next year.”

Finally getting the affirmative answer he wanted from His Majesty the Emperor, Russell was immediately overjoyed, stood up quickly and saluted him, and respectfully said: "On behalf of the Imperial Navy, thank you Your Majesty for your care!"

"I am here for the future of the empire." His Majesty Emperor Kendela turned his head to look at the huge map on the wall, and sighed softly. "In the past, when the legend was just a legend, we could still stay here and watch the sky. Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has placed 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..)
