Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

If……

What the Cecil Mission saw and heard in the Merlin District gave them an unspeakable shock.

So the next journey,

It gave them a dreamlike, even unreal feeling.

The eastern part of the empire is remote and desolate?

The principality of Idar is militaristic and the people are poor?

Is this an outrageous rumor spread by some damn bard or caravan?

Or……

Are these rumors actually intentional by the Stuart family, the rulers of the Idar Principality? Is this the Stuart family’s long-standing plan and layout?

If this is the case, then the Stuart family rooted in the eastern part of the empire is really too terrifying!

For the envoys from the Padilla City State who came to the Principality of Idar a few months ago, the presence of steam locomotives was incredible to them, and the same was true for the Cecil envoy who had just arrived in the Principality of Idar.

The large iron carriage was speeding on the east-west railway that traversed the Principality of Idar, and the scene outside the window gradually passed before everyone's eyes.

Although the journey to Idar City took more than an hour, the members of the Cecil Mission did not find it boring.

after all……

At this time, they were like city dwellers who had never seen the world. Everything around them filled their hearts with shock.

In the district of Merlin,

They saw the prosperity of commerce and the prosperity of the common people.

on the road,

They saw endless fields and cultivated land, and countless fertile soil and granaries.

As for mechanical devices like steam locomotives…

As a knowledgeable aristocrat, Viscount Danielsson was certainly aware of the huge effectiveness that this mechanical device could play, especially when he asked with doubts how much human and animal power the carriage he was in required. After driving.

From "car driver" to flight attendant, only a few dozen people are needed!

and……

As his conversations with Anel and others became more and more detailed, Viscount Danielson became more and more confused.

He found……

I can no longer understand the Principality of Idar in front of me!

and……

It’s the kind of thing that you can’t understand from the inside out!

…

The final stop of the train is naturally Idar Central Station, located southwest of Idar City.

Although this building is only one of the lowest-rated wonders in the Principality of Idar, its grand scale and magnificent decoration are enough to blind everyone's eyes.

Dozens of railway tracks converged from all directions, although many were not yet in use, and the platforms were neat and spacious.

A large number of civilians and craftsmen who wanted to take the steam locomotive to and from Idar City, Merlin District, Solenburg and other places lined up in an orderly manner under the guidance of various arrows and service personnel.

so……

When the members of the Cecil Mission finally stepped out of the open car door onto the platform... what appeared in front of them was a scene they had never imagined.

As Bruno mentioned before, the Central Station of the Principality of Idar is not only a station, but also a rich public art museum and Idar historical exhibition hall.

On the walls inside the station, colorful and neatly framed scrolls show the past sufferings of the Idar Principality and the current prosperity of the Idar Principality to all travelers coming and going.

From time to time, people would stop and look at the magnificent paintings, unable to move for a long time.

"here……"

Viscount Danielsson was speechless for a moment.

All right,

The scene before him was completely beyond his cognition.

"Idar Central Station is the only and largest transportation hub on this continent specially built for the stopping of steam locomotives." Anel introduced.

"Can civilians also ride?"

Although he already had the answer in his mind, Viscount Danielson still asked involuntarily as he looked at the civilians who were constantly coming and going.

"Of course." Anel nodded matter-of-factly.

During the conversation, a steam locomotive filled with passengers made a shrill whistle.

Immediately afterwards...

Accompanied by the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" and the shaking of the body, a steam locomotive parked at another platform began to move forward slowly.

This was undoubtedly the first time that the Cecil Mission witnessed the start-up of a steam locomotive from a spectator’s perspective.

The front of the car, which was spewing white steam, seemed to have infinite power. It not only pulled dozens of carriages, but also continued to accelerate.

"This shouldn't be the so-called magic technology..." Viscount Danielsson suddenly said.

"Steam locomotives do not need magic power, but..."

Anel's words made Viscount Danielsson feel slightly relieved, but the words after the twist made his heart feel cold.

"But... the construction of steam locomotives is inseparable from the development of magic technology and magic industry."

…

Different from the simple reception in Merin District, the Principality of Idar arranged a relatively complete welcome team at Idar Central Station for the first time.

after all……

No matter how you say it, the Cecil Kingdom can be regarded as a powerful force on the mainland, and it must be able to live up to its reputation.

Besides, this is a potential customer of the Idar Principality!

Bruno didn't believe it. After the Cecil delegation saw the prosperity of the Idar Principality with their own eyes, would they go back empty-handed?

so……

When the Cecil delegation and the delegation had just walked out of the station, they saw a welcoming team waiting outside the station.

Although the scale is small, this is indeed a very traditional welcome ceremony that conforms to aristocratic etiquette.

But something slightly different is...

Those lined up on both sides were not the usual team of knights holding colorful flags, but griffon knights holding swords!

Griffin!

With almost just a glance, Viscount Danielsson recognized this magical creature that he had only seen in books.

To know,

On this continent, there are countless noble families with griffins as their family totems.

But……

As the rulers of the eastern part of the empire, the Stuart family is the only aristocratic family that actually owns a gryphon knight!

No matter when and where, the griffin with the head of a hawk and the body of a beast will always be the absolute focus of people's eyes.

Pale golden eagle wings, flawless snow-white feathers, sharp eyes and powerful limbs...

Four gryphon knights riding gryphons stopped there, and the welcome ceremony immediately went up several levels!

"Your Highness Leya, please get on the carriage."

Old Ford, who is the director of the Idar Government Affairs Office, opened the car door for Leya himself.

actually……

It stands to reason that there is no need for Old Ford to come over at all.

The reason why he came here in person was because of Leya!

Because no matter what, Rhea is very likely to become the future duchess!

"Thank you for your hospitality. The welcome method of the Principality of Idar is the most unique and amazing I have ever seen." Leya nodded and said softly.

…

The destination of the motorcade is the Elysee Palace on Jingshi Road.

This is an official residence that was built during last winter's "big infrastructure" plan.

And its only function is to receive visiting guests.

Whether they are envoys from other forces or Idar officials who return to Idar City to report their duties and accept appointments, they will be arranged to live in this super wonder.

only……

Since the completion of the Elysée Palace only gave a certain number of brilliance points,

It also does not provide other effective wonder bonuses.

It's not like Idar Central Station, which has anything to do with the daily lives of civilians.

therefore,

It can be regarded as a wonder building with the lowest sense of presence in the Principality of Idar.

But Bruno was slightly thankful.

after all……

This is a building with a strong French style!

As long as it doesn't provide some spectacle bonuses similar to "France fights with a little effort", it's already a blessing.

But then again...

No matter how ridiculous it is, it is still compared to the wonders in the Wonder Construction Illustrated Book!

In this era, the Elysee Palace located on Jingshi Road is definitely a treasure of architectural art. It is a grand building that bumpkins from the west of the empire have never seen before!

The Elysee Palace, located on Jingshi Road, is a two-story building made of marble blocks.

Although it does not look very high, it is distinguished by its solemn and simple appearance. There are two symmetrical wings on the left and right wings of the main building, surrounded by a wide courtyard in the middle, with fountains and flowing water, and a backyard garden.

At the entrance of the main building, the flag of the Principality of Idar fluttered high and fluttered in the wind.

Especially after entering the Elysée Palace, the walls of almost every living room are decorated with gilded fine wood, and colorful oil paintings and exquisite tapestries hang on the walls.

The crystal chandelier in the reception hall was an eye-opener for the members of the Cecil Mission.

All right,

Even the residence of King Cecil Manquin Blood is not as luxurious and solemn as the Elysee Palace, which makes people wonder.

And at this moment,

No member of Cecil's mission dared to brazenly claim how wealthy the western part of the empire was.

As the dark night gradually falls, the Chinese lanterns in Idar City begin to light up.

Under the cover of the magic street lamps, the entire city of Idar was brightly lit, and people didn't know what words to use to describe it.

after all……

In just one day, their originally solid outlook on life... had collapsed countless times!

Even when the members of the mission met and strolled through the city of Idar under the illumination of street lights... they still had a dreamlike feeling in their hearts.

The eastern part of the empire is different from any other land on this continent. Even under night, the flow of people in the city is like daylight.

Shops in prosperous places are still open for business, and even in places such as the Caracalla Baths, the crowds at night are even busier than during the day.

…

Elysee Palace.

Viscount Danielson sat on the side of the desk. The bright light outside the window would occasionally disturb his thoughts that were not peaceful at all.

The Principality of Idar would not arrange for the envoy to meet Bruno immediately. Instead, it would leave the envoy three days of free time for them to wander around the city of Idar.

If it were any other force, Viscount Danielsson would definitely feel that this was a slight to the Kingdom of Cecil.

But……

At this moment, he was actually somewhat grateful for the arrangements made by the Idar Government Affairs Office.

Because their previous understanding of the eastern part of the empire is no longer applicable, and it can even be said to be a big departure!

Everything,

All true understanding of the Principality of Idar must be started from scratch, and all preparations must be started from scratch.

if not……

Viscount Danielsson really doesn’t know,

What should I talk about when I see the young Duke Idar, and what should I say...

"What exactly is magic technology?"

…

actually……

Bruno couldn't tell how far the Idar Principality's magical technology would develop.

But what he knew was...

From the research results of Lennon Cohen, the practical application of the magic engine has made a huge breakthrough!

And the first batch of magical cars from the Principality of Idar,

The first automobile manufacturing plant in Idar has also been officially established in the Grand Highlands!

so……

Even though the night was already dark, Bruno immediately led Old Ford, who had just sent the Cecil delegation into the Elysee Palace, towards the Grand Heights.

That's a magic car!

It is a vehicle that can drive on the streets without the need for animal power or laying tracks!

It is a brand-new transportation tool created by the Principality of Idar by gathering the most advanced magical technology research results and the most top scientific researchers!

The charm of magic cars is endless,

But equally,

The method of developing and building magic cars is also extremely cumbersome.

This not only requires the cooperation of a large number of top scientific researchers and craftsmen, but also the hard work of a group of workers with outstanding skills.

And luckily...

The Principality of Idar has already met these conditions.

The First Automobile Manufacturing Plant of Idar is located on the side of the Idar Steel Factory. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Although there was only one production line at this time, the Idar Government Affairs Office had the foresight to allocate a piece of land comparable to the size of the Idar Steel Factory for future plant expansion and production scale expansion.

When Bruno arrived, the first batch of eight finished magic cars produced by Idar's first car commander had already been parked in the open space in the center of the factory.

how to say?

The charm of industrial style is intoxicating. w.;

The moment Bruno saw the first batch of magic cars built by the Idar First Automobile Factory, his heart was filled with an extremely strong sense of pride.

The first batch of magic cars were not pure black, but had a brushed black steel-like color and texture with a bit of dark gray.

The length of the car body is five meters long, but its width is also close to two meters.

Although it is long, it does not look slim.

Since the shell of the car body did not completely cover every part of the magic car,... just by looking at it, one could tell that it was a creation of the magic industry.

Every part of the car body has sharp edges and corners, and both the exposed parts and the internal structure of the car body are extremely precise, giving people a grand yet meticulous feeling.

The vehicle is not open-top but completely sealed. The window glass is also made of the latest model of one-way dark glass. You only need to turn the armrest in the car to control the lifting.

The vertical air intake grille looks tough and outstanding. The rectangular magic headlights are arranged on both sides of the front of the car. On the front of the car, there is a small and exquisite griffin forged from mithril. Standing statue.

All in all, the first batch of finished products of the Magic Car have far exceeded Bruno's imagination.

Just two words...

Domineering and outstanding character!
