Chapter 2 News

No matter how envious I am, I can't solve my stomach problem.

Lucian stared at the illusion for a while, sat down at a random place, and ordered the cheapest plain noodles.

Waiting for Su Mian to complete the gap, he continued to watch the news broadcast on the magic phantom projector.

After broadcasting the news just now, the screen on the phantom changed, but a picture of a person in the sky appeared.

At the bottom of the picture is a city that covers a vast area and looks very majestic.

Lucian recognized at a glance that this city was the capital of the Candela Empire, Wimbledon.

Regarding this great capital of the empire, Lucian has not yet visited it in person, but he often sees it on various phantom news, so he is naturally very familiar with it.

To be so familiar with a place you have never been to that you can recognize it at a glance, this is something that Lucian's parents never dared to think about before.

Take Lucian's parents as an example, the farthest place they have ever been to in their life is the third largest city in the province about 50 kilometers away from his hometown, let alone Wimbledon , Never even been to the provincial capital.

If there is no change in this world, they will be like the generation of Lucian's grandparents, who have never left their hometown for a lifetime and know almost nothing about the outside world.

However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invented the magic power signal transmission network and the magic power phantom projector, and the New Moon Chamber of Commerce produced various corresponding magic phantom programs, so that people who have never left their hometowns in their lives can understand this world without leaving home. world.

It was also because of watching those programs about "education" that Lucian's parents made up their minds. They tried their best not to buy all kinds of new household magic machines every year like their neighbors did, and their lives were miserable. Also send Lucian to study at Philip Academy.

Therefore, Lu Xi'an has always been very grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, which gave him the opportunity to leave the closed mountain village in his hometown, come outside to see the world with his own eyes, and have the opportunity to change his entire life.

In conjunction with the picture on the phantom, it showed a picture overlooking the city of Wimbledon from a high altitude, and a voice-over sounded.

"The Royal Guards of the Empire have recently publicly displayed a batch of new small magic attack boats they purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is reported that these small magic attack boats were successfully developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce three years ago, representing the most advanced technology at present. The magic airship has a maximum speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour. At the same time, it also has extremely flexible maneuverability and good firepower. Equipped with these new small magic attack boats, the air combat effectiveness of the Imperial Royal Guard is undoubtedly Significant improvements have been made. This is crucial to improving the security of Wimbledon City, defending..."

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers in the noodle shop.

Lucian was taken aback, and glanced over the noodle shop, noticing whether it was the owner of the noodle shop or the people who were dining. At this time, they all looked at the magical phantom projector on the wall, with excitement on their faces.

"Haha, that's great! With this thing, the royal guards will be much stronger than before."

"That's right. I've heard of this thing. It's said to be the most advanced magical airship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It flies so fast that you can't even see its shadow in the blink of an eye."

"Really? But the news said that its firepower is only good, so I'm afraid..."

"Stupid you, how can it be possible to tell the truth completely on the news. This is a highly confidential matter related to our empire's military strength, can it be known casually?"

"Yeah. That's right. According to that..."

...

Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Lucian twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a wry smile.

These guys don't understand anything at all, why are they excited here?

It has been clearly stated in the news that these small magic attack boats were successfully developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce three years ago.

So within the next three years, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not yet completed the research and development of a new generation of magic airships, there will definitely be newer technologies that will definitely be able to easily outperform these small magic attack boats.

Besides, these things are not the latest technology and the strongest combat power among the offensive magic airships mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, like those known as the strongest air combat power. The Thunder God-class heavy-duty magic combat boat that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce never sells is the real overlord of the air.

According to gossip, during the internal exercises of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the woven Thor-class heavy-duty magic combat boat can easily control the air. Any other type of combat magic power airship has nothing to do with it.

So as long as other forces do not have the same air power as the Thunder God-class heavy-duty magic battleship, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably have the air supremacy forever.

But now everyone on this continent knows that in the new war mode, mastering the air supremacy is equal to mastering the initiative, which plays a vital role in determining the outcome of the war.

Of course, these only exist in imagination and exercises.

In fact, it is now on the continent of Sainz. There is no country or force that would go head-to-head against Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or even go to war.

Because it's totally suicidal.

So Lucian looked at the people around him who were inexplicably excited because the Royal Guards were equipped with a batch of small magic attack boats, and he was really speechless.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the royal guard, and even the entire Kandela Empire army, has been greatly improved, but give the big men of the empire ten courages, would they dare to start a war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce casually?

You said that you are not going to challenge the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but to start a war with other countries?

Don't be kidding, since Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, published the famous "Bangta Declaration" in Bangta City ten years ago, he proposed that the goal is to go to the stars and the sea, thus confirming that the purpose of Sainz Continent in the future is to vigorously develop magic After the industrialization, no country still thinks about launching a war.

The primary reason is that once a country wants to do this, the escort of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will directly intervene and not allow the war to expand.

The second reason is that during the critical period when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce opened up the technology related to the magic industry on a large scale and worked hard to help all countries on the mainland to develop the magic industry, if any country went to start a war irrationally, it would inevitably Were eliminated by this era, and eventually fell far behind other countries.

No country dared to take this risk, not even the Candela Empire.

Therefore, the Royal Guard suddenly announced that it was equipped with a batch of small magic attack boats. In many people's eyes, it strengthened the strength of the Royal Guard and the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. From the human point of view, I am afraid that it can only be used to maintain the stability of the empire.

After all, it was mentioned in the news some time ago that there were several riots within the empire, which attracted the attention of the imperial parliament.

The Royal Guard announced this news, maybe it was to deter these rioters.

While people around were still discussing, the owner of the noodle shop didn't stop his work, and quickly delivered the bowl of plain noodles that Lucian ordered.

Lucian was already very hungry at this time, so he ignored the ridiculous comments of the people around him and started to eat.

While eating, he raised his head from time to time to see what was played by the magic phantom projector, and listened to the sound coming from inside.

After broadcasting some current affairs news, what was broadcast later was some news about people's livelihood.

Lucian generally doesn't care much about these people's livelihood news, because most of them have little to do with him, and he has no interest in this aspect.

However, when the entertainment news was broadcast, he couldn't help but look up for a while longer, because in this part of the entertainment news, there was his favorite elf star, Miss Linoya.

Looking up at Miss Linoya, who was as beautiful as a flower in the magic phantom, with a noble temperament and a touch of lightness, as if she didn't seem like a person in the world, Lucian couldn't help showing a hint of intoxication.

There are many stars that the New Moon Chamber of Commerce made popular through various magical illusion entertainment programs, but Lucian didn't care about such so-called stars that had nothing to do with his life before. Only when he saw Miss Linoya, he seemed to be moved It broke his heart, and he couldn't help paying attention.

It's just that Lucian is also very clear in his heart that his and Miss Linoya's worlds are too far apart, and it is possible that there will be no intersection in this life, so he can only look at her through the magic illusion, and he is already satisfied up.

After the news about Miss Linoya had passed, Lucian came back to his senses, looked down and found that the human uncle sitting opposite him was looking at him with a smile on his face, couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly lowered his head and started eating face to face.

Because he was in a hurry to eat, he didn't notice that the noodle soup was still very hot, and he choked up immediately, spraying a mouthful of juice on the table, looking as embarrassed as he could be.

After finally calming down, Lucian realized that his body was already covered with noodle soup, the table was even more messy, and his face was even more blushing.

The uncle opposite didn't mind much, he just shook his head, smiled gently, and handed a tablecloth to Lucian.

Lucian quickly thanked him, and hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the table.

"Looking at you, you should still be a student in the college?" After Lucian sat down again, the uncle asked with a smile.

"Huh? How did you see that?" Lucian was stunned.

The uncle chuckled: "After a lot of experience, it is easy to see some things, which is not unusual."

After finishing speaking, the uncle actually lowered his head and continued to eat noodles, without any intention of continuing to speak.

Lucian scratched his head, not knowing why.

Because of the little accident just now, Lu Xian found that his bowl of noodles was too much to eat, so he had to call the boss to prepare the bill.

"This guest, Sheng Hui fifteen silver coins, thank you."

The boss's kind smile fell into Lucian's eyes, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It's just a bowl of plain noodles, but it costs as much as fifteen silver coins, which is simply too deceitful.

The same bowl of noodles only cost two silver coins at most in his hometown!

But thinking that this is Doral City, Lucian could only sigh helplessly, and reached into his pocket.

Then his face changed drastically. (~^~)
