Magic Industry Empire - 868

The reason Steele said Xu Yi’s proposal is a good idea, of course, is that the eyes of countless people on the entire Sainz Continent are now on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. If this series of documentaries are released, it will inevitably cause this. People’s attention.

Everyone wants to know what kind of magic power this unknown small chamber of commerce in the Principality of Stantin has in a negligibly small country can enable the Kingdom of Ruelson to gain their support. , It was actually able to repel the two invasions of the powerful Candela Empire in a row.

The one who is most concerned about this point is of course the Candela Empire, which has been defeated twice in a row.

Seeing that there is only less than a week left before the new year, the vast majority of people on the entire continent are preparing for the New Year. A delegation from the Candela Empire passed through the Duchy of Norton and the Duchy of Milan and entered The king of Lampari was in the city of Anweimar.

After being introduced by the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari, the mission successfully met Queen Sevigny in the palace.

The mission of this mission on the surface is to express New Year’s greetings to Queen Severini on behalf of the noble Emperor of the Candela Empire, and at the same time bring a series of cooperation agreements proposed by the Candela Empire against the Kingdom of Lampari.

On the surface, it is not uncommon for such a mission to be sent by the Candela Empire every year.

Because there have always been formal contacts between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire, the two sides have relatively close contacts. In addition to maintaining normal contact between the two parties, the specific purpose of sending the mission is for some trade exchanges between the two countries.

In the past, the missions sent by the Candela Empire every year brought some chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire to come over to reach some trade agreements with the chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, which is also a means to strengthen the ties between the two sides.

But before that, because the strength of the Candela Empire was too much stronger than that of the Lampari Kingdom, the sending of missions was only a matter of form, simply to express an attitude. In fact, the real interactive trade exchanges between the two sides were not Many, every time the Candela Empire Chamber of Commerce followed the mission to the Lampari Kingdom, it was just a small chamber of commerce that was not well-known in the Candela Empire.

This year is completely different.

This time, the mission sent by the Candela Empire was not only much larger than in the past, but also much higher in size.

In the past, the head of the mission was usually just an official randomly sent by the Candela Empire, with representatives of no more than ten small chambers of commerce, and ran over to reach some painless trade agreements with the Lampari Kingdom.

But this time the mission was personally led by Marquis Descartes, Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire. Following the mission were several well-known large chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire, and even the continent of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. The representative of the largest chamber of commerce can be described as unprecedented in scale.

Because the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari had notified in advance before the mission came, Severini was a little surprised, but he was already prepared to host a banquet in the palace to entertain the mission.

The banquet was cheerful and peaceful. However, after the banquet, Marquis Descartes, the head of the Candela Empire, was in a single meeting with Severini, but it seemed that some sparks were splattering.

“Your Majesty, this is the kindness expressed by the empire to your country, why are you unwilling to accept it?” Marquis Descartes asked in a deep voice.

Servigny narrowed his eyes slightly and wanted to let out a sneer.

When the Marquis Descartes first started talking with himself, he was more polite, but when he talked about specific matters, he immediately revealed his condescending face from the Candela Empire, and his tone of voice was full of commands. , As if what he said is justified, others must obey.

Of course, if his suggestion is beneficial to the Kingdom of Lampari, Servigny doesn’t bother to care about his tone, but this guy proposed to Servigny on behalf of the Candela Empire’s Ministry of Commerce, requesting the Kingdom of Lampari to fully open the land to the Candela Empire. How could Servigny agree to the magic machinery-related technology currently mastered by the Kingdom of Pali.

Although the Marquis of Descartes also stated that the Candela Empire will give the Lampari Kingdom corresponding compensation, such as establishing an alliance with the Lampari Kingdom to ensure the leadership of the Lampari Kingdom in the southwestern corner of the Sainz continent…

At the same time, he also assured Severini a series of concrete practical measures.

For example, the Candela Empire will expand trade channels to the Lampari Kingdom. Specifically, it is to allow more commodities in the Lampari Kingdom to enter the Candela Empire, and to carry out certain restrictions on most commodities, especially all magic machinery-related commodities. Tariff reduction or exemption.

For example, the Candela Empire will fully open up domestic commodity exports to the Lampari Kingdom. Similar to the previous Candela Empire, the Candela Empire is more abundant, and the Candela Empire will take the initiative to reduce prices and guarantee certain commodities that are in short supply in the Lampari Kingdom. Give priority to the Lampari Kingdom and so on…

If it had been in the past, the Kingdom of Lampari, such a small country that is insignificant on the entire continent, could actually get the attention of the Candela Empire, one of the two major empires on the continent. It would be very pleased to give so much support and preferential policies. Express acceptance.

Especially in the past, the Lampari Kingdom has been suppressed by the Sark Kingdom. If it can be publicly recognized as an ally by the Candela Empire, it is equivalent to obtaining the best amulet to ensure that the Sark Kingdom will never dare to be presumptuous.

But for the current Kingdom of Lampari… these conditions are not only unattractive, and Servini can easily judge that the purpose of the Candela Empire is basically the magic that is possessed in the Kingdom of Lampari. Mechanical technology.

There is almost no benefit in this, but it is very likely to cause great damage to the basic rudimentary magic industry system in the Lampari Kingdom. How could Servini agree to it.

However, when Servigny expressed the need for serious consideration, which was actually a tactful refusal, the Marquis of Descartes showed an incredible appearance, as if Servigny did not agree to these conditions is simply incomprehensible.

Servigny remained silent for a moment and replied calmly: “Marquis Descartes, I am very grateful to the Candela Empire for showing such kindness to us, but regarding your hope that we will transfer all the technology related to magic machinery to the Candela Empire, I’m sorry I can’t do it.”

“Why?” asked the Marquis of Descartes, frowning. “Aren’t these things a matter of your Majesty the Queen? Or do you even have no control over these small chambers of commerce in your own country?”

The Marquis of Descartes said this very rudely, he was almost directly doubting Servigny’s control over the Kingdom of Lampari.

“Marquis Descartes, you, as the Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire, do you mean that when you say this, does it mean that the Candela Empire can handle all the chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire as you please?” Servigny hummed softly. After a cry, he said unceremoniously: “If this is the case, then I really want to express my deep sympathy to the major chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire.”

The Marquis Descartes was startled slightly, knowing that what he said just now was indeed a bit rash, but he did not intend to shrink back because of this, staring into Severini’s eyes, and continuing to ask: “Your Majesty, I believe that if you want to. , These are not problems.”

“No, I just said it, it’s not something I can decide.” Servigny waved his hand. “The core of the technology related to the magic machinery you mentioned is in the hands of the New Flying Merchants Association. The magic machine-related chambers of commerce in our Lampari Kingdom are only authorized from the New Flying Merchants Association. Strictly speaking, they don’t. Any power to transfer these technologies.”

The Marquis of Descartes frowned: “Since they have mastered these technologies, what can’t be transferred? Is there anything New Flying Chamber of Commerce can do to them?”

Severny finally couldn’t help but sneered slightly: “Marquis Descartes, have you ever heard of the word patent?”

“Patent?” Marquis Descartes thought for a moment, and slowly shook his head. “What does it mean?”

Servigny explained to him roughly the role of patents, and then added: “These patents are certified by the Wizards’ Union Headquarters, so they are protected by the Wizards’ Union. If any chamber of commerce violates the patent use, they will be subject to the Magician’s Union. Punishment by the headquarters.”

Hearing that these so-called “patents” were actually related to the headquarters of the Wizards’ Union, the Marquis of Descartes couldn’t help frowning.

As one of the two empires of Sainz Continent, Candela Empire, apart from the Maro Empire which makes it scrupulous, the only thing left to make it scrupulous is the Mage Guild, which spreads across the entire Sainz Continent. , Has an influence on all magicians on the entire continent.

Less than a last resort, the Candela Empire will not directly challenge the authority of the Wizards’ Guild, which is not a benefit.

Seeing that the Marquis of Descartes seemed very embarrassed, Servigny smiled slightly and suggested: “Marquis of Descartes, if the Candela Empire is really interested in the technology of magic machinery, why not directly discuss it with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?”

“this……”

The Marquis of Descartes couldn’t help showing a wry smile.

If possible, he didn’t want to go directly to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss.

However, intelligence from all aspects shows that it is precisely because of the military magic machinery that the New Flying Merchant Association secretly provided to the Ruelson Kingdom that led to the failure of the Candela Empire, so now the New Flying Merchant Association has been regarded by many people in the upper layers of the Candela Empire. The death sentence was pronounced directly.

The Candela Empire is discussing how to deal with this damn New Flying Merchant Association, and how it is possible to go to the New Flying Merchant Association to discuss cooperation matters.

This time, he personally led the delegation to discuss cooperation with the Lampari Kingdom in the area of magic machinery, and even obtained a lot of preferential conditions for the Lampari Kingdom from the Imperial House before setting off, in order to obtain it through other means. Understanding of magic machinery.

Of course, it is best to get more information about military magic machinery to facilitate future actions of the empire.

However, the Lampari Kingdom did not cooperate at all, which made him very embarrassed.

However, the attitude of the Lampari Kingdom was not unexpected to him, because it was reflected when the Candela Empire asked the Lampari Kingdom to stop sending supplies to the Ruelson Kingdom but was rejected. .

The Marquis of Descartes looked at Queen Servigny with a smile and sighed in his heart.

“It looks like… we still have to adopt the second plan made before…”
