Great Nobleman

As Brand finished speaking, everyone focused their attention.

Brand further explained:

“I got this information from the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department, so there should be nothing wrong with it.

I think His Majesty the Emperor will announce the news to us in a day or two at most.

I just don’t know exactly how it will be charged. "

As soon as he finished speaking, someone quickly thought:

"A similar situation happened during the Pioneering War.

But what was rented out at that time was not warships, but various military equipment.

I think His Majesty the Emperor will also introduce some incentive mechanisms for rent reduction and exemption.

Of course, since it is a warship built with a lot of money by His Imperial Majesty, the rent will definitely not be cheap.

But no matter what, in order to show the majesty of the empire, I think it is still necessary to rent a few ships.

It doesn't take too long, just wait for us to complete the contact and guide the elves' sea caravan to Flower Bay.

Although our sea-going ships are indeed not very efficient, the various infrastructures on land are still relatively comprehensive.

In the future, when His Majesty the Emperor has enough ships, I think the Imperial Arms Department will definitely sell us standard models of ships.

At that time, we can also buy some from the Imperial Arms Department to prepare for future trade in the Elf Forest and exploration of the Endless Sea. "

Hearing this, Brand couldn't help but think.

Think about it carefully, if their Morning Flower Leader cannot build a very powerful warship for the time being.

It is actually a good idea to go directly to the weapons department to customize it and then further modify it yourself.

With the generous support of His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Ordnance Department is at the forefront in many aspects.

Many of the military equipment of various border lords in the empire were purchased from the Arms Department.

Judging from this, in addition to sea-going ships, Chenhua Ling can actually purchase some other things!

——It’s not impossible to make everything yourself, but sometimes you can obviously step on the shoulders of giants!

When Brand was thinking about asking the director of the Arms Department, Mr. Sanders Daher, another day.

Everyone has begun to discuss specific candidates to join the empire's welcoming team and go to greet the visitors to the Elf Forest.

Brand is not very interested in this matter.

——Just think about it and you will know that the process must be very troublesome!

But something unexpected is: everyone else is very positive!

Regarding Brand's doubts, Mr. Holland beside him explained:

"Contact with the elves first, and then you can have your merchants establish good relations with them, exchange information with them, introduce their products to the elves, and negotiate bulk commodity transactions in advance.

Of course, you don't need to worry too much about this.

After all, the elves always want to get to your Morning Flower Harbor first. "

Hearing Mr. Holland's explanation, Brand was also a little surprised!

——They occupy natural geographical advantages.

…

A few days later, a fleet consisting of dozens of continental-class medium-sized and large maritime warships arrived in the northern waters of the Morning Flower Territory.

Mr. Holland, Mr. Romien, and others who were preparing to go to welcome the visitors to the Elf Forest said goodbye to others at the pier, took the Silver Phoenix, and went to join the large army of the empire.

And immediately after.

The next afternoon, Brand saw a huge fleet coming from the Forest of Elves on the blank screen shared by the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department!

The same streamlined hull.

However, the standard warships that served as the vanguard were covered with branches, vines, green leaves, and some of them even had some hanging bright fruits.

——They are not purely dead things!

After observing carefully for a while, Brand said curiously:

"They should be the application results of the [Life Branch] spell, right?"

Hearing Brand's question, Hedilin, who was chewing berries, nodded and said:

"Yes, that's it.

Once an ordinary ship is damaged, it will be very troublesome to repair, but our warship in the Elf Forest does not have this problem.

Once damaged, it can be easily repaired, even on the battlefield.

This is one of the secret methods unique to our Elven Forest. "

Hearing this, Brand suddenly understood.

Then, he looked at the many merchant ships guarded by these elven standard warships.

The image on the empty screen suddenly began to move to the left.

What surprised Brand a little was:

A small green island suddenly appeared in the distance of the empty screen.

The many large and small warships accompanying it were like docile and harmless kittens at its feet.

Before Brand could ask, Hedilin explained calmly:

“This is one of the sea fortresses of our elves, [Emerald Heart].

Don't be too surprised. It is indeed quite big compared to ordinary sea ships, but in fact, it is a bit smaller than ordinary medium-sized fortresses.

To be specific, it is probably half the inner area of ​​your castle plus the size of the core area. "

Hearing this description, Brand couldn't help but said speechlessly:

"It can be compared with a medium-sized fortress on land. Do you still think it is small?

Movable fortresses and immovable fortresses are completely different concepts! "

Hedilin curled her lips and said:

"But compared to the [Floating Island] in our Magic Palace, it really is nothing, right?"

Recalling the huge [Floating Island] he had seen before, Brand certainly had no way to refute.

But savoring Hedilin's tone.

He suddenly became curious and said:

“You sound like you don’t like this maritime fortress very much?

Is this something from your Fairy Forest [Reformer]? "

Seeing that Brand had noticed something, Hedilin did not hide it.

He nodded casually, and then told some secrets about the Elf Forest:

“In our Elf Forest, many maritime fortresses including this [Emerald Heart] were proposed to be built by the [Reformers].

However, they built these sea fortresses not to protect the safety of the Elf Forest, but to explore the endless sea.

In our opinion, this is a complete waste of resources, and it is difficult to match the investment with the harvest.

And the subsequent development of things is just as we expected:

A large amount of resources in our Elven Forest sink into the deep ocean every year.

We have had many arguments with them over the years over this matter!

All in all, I felt a little disappointed when I saw this! "

After telling these things, Hedilin's unhappy mood eased a lot.

After a pause, she looked away and asked the people in the room:

"Stop talking about these troublesome things, do you want to listen to me play a beautiful piece of music from the Elf Forest?

If you feel bad today, it’s free! "

Look at the inconspicuous curve at the corner of Hedilin's mouth.

Celine, who was drinking tea leisurely beside her, quickly frowned and said:

"If it's a violin, forget it. I'm a little confused these days.

Also, can you set up a soundproof circle for your next practice? "

Seeing Celine's look of disgust, Heidilin quickly said with dissatisfaction:

"Good Celine! How can you question my good intentions?

I just wasn’t familiar enough with it before!

It’s different now! "

After saying this, Hedilin turned to Brand and said:

"I think the lord believes in me, right?"

Seeing the hidden expectation on Hedilin's face, Brand spread his hands and said:

“As much as I’d like to hear you play a beautiful tune on your violin.

But I have something else to do for a while, so why don’t we talk about it in two days? "

Heidilin said dissatisfied:

"It won't be free in two days. Do you really want to stop thinking about it?"

Brand shook his head, then smiled and said:

"I'm more than happy to give the magic gold coins in my pocket to the beautiful music!"
