Chapter 279 Universal Exposition
"Dear Mr. Harvey Adrian,
We have found a manor that meets your criteria, located on the outskirts of Norton's East Town, the former mansion of the Duke of Nock, which has been abandoned for more than ten years, and I have ordered someone to clean and renovate it some time ago. Although the location is relatively remote, surrounded by wealthy areas, the environment is beautiful and quiet, and there is also a paved concrete road leading to the city, and it only takes 20 minutes for horse-drawn carriages to travel to the city······
······
Recently, because of the affairs of the World Exposition, I have been busy with the affairs of Victoria, and I hope she has not caused you any trouble, the term of office of the Empress is near, and soon, Victoria will be crowned as the Empress...
······
Norton looks forward to welcoming you, Mr. Harvey Adrian.
Anderson Windsor, written on 15 September 1326. ”
Harvey took the envelope sent by Duke Anderson and read it carefully, the letter was very long and unexpectedly large. Harvey had originally wanted to move his family to Norton, so that it would be much easier to get around with the Magic Association, but Duke Anderson slapped his chest and agreed to help Harvey find a spacious manor with beautiful surroundings.
The second is that the current empress of the Kingdom of Barron will abdicate next month, and Victoria, who has stayed in Harvey's mansion for more than a month, will take office, and Duke Anderson will foster Victoria on Harvey's side for the purpose of temporarily protecting Victoria from political influences, Victoria is the next empress, and the royal family and aristocratic forces will inevitably want to put pressure on her before taking office.
The third is the Universal Exposition, scheduled for next year, to showcase the national project of the Kingdom of Barron's politics, military and magical technology. The so-called Universal Exposition Harvey is no stranger, the Universal Exposition on the earth originated from the British Empire at that time, when Britain was known as the empire on which the sun never sets, and the sun will never leave the territory of Britain, which means that there are British colonies all over the world, at that time the British Empire was at the fixed point of the industrial revolution, and it is undoubtedly the center of politics, economy and culture in the world.
At that time, the British Empire used glass to build a building similar to a giant greenhouse, called the "Crystal Palace", which attracted the attention of the world, and the Crystal Palace became an irreplaceable romantic symbol of the Victorian era.
In order to show its national power, the Kingdom of Barron began this project several years ago, originally scheduled to be carried out the following year, but it was brought forward by the abdication of the Empress and the Norton Royal Concert Hall incident a year earlier. If the construction period is really not in time, it is most appropriate for the Universal Exposition to be carried out during the abdication of the Queen.
"World Exposition? It's kind of interesting. Harvey Mo rubbed his chin and smiled to himself, the most impressive thing about this word in his mind was the three Japanese animations, a childhood memory "The Mystery of the Sapphire", a "British Love Story Emma" that tells the classic British love story, and the remaining one is the most expensive animated film in the history of the Japanese book "Steam Boy", the memory of the first part has long been blurred, and the last two have no Japanese animation style at all, which is different from the commercial animation of the Japanese book that caters to the audience, I have a very deep understanding and processing of the era in Britain at that time, and because of this, these two animations are not very popular.
The impact of the Universal Exposition was not insignificant, and Harvey knew that the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce had already begun to prepare the merchandise for the exhibition, including Harvey's invention and several improvements to the gramophone, the Cromwell's optimized photo printing device, photographic crystals, and so on.
Garcia's publishing house is also busy translating Harvey's works into different languages, and without a spell caster who is proficient in linguistics, this translation work is a big project that cannot be underestimated, and if it were not for the help of the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that even the translator could not be found.
Not to mention the Count of Henrietta, the apparition has become a symbol of the kingdom of Baron.
Shirley had been preparing for the move a week before, and there was nothing in her way if she had to convince the artists at Degini's animation studio to go to Norton with her. The artists were overjoyed and eager to move to Norton, where there were more opportunities to develop, not to mention the fact that Digini Animation Studio itself was treated exceptionally, and not a single artist turned down the offer.
······
Anderson sent two letters, one to Harvey and the other to his daughter Victoria.
Harvey came out of the study, walked towards the game room of the mansion without looking for it, and opened the door to see Lily, Victoria, Ruby the Fairy Ruby, Ace the Ice Fairy, and Helen the Diamond Fairy concentrating on the game, and no one noticed that Harvey pushed the door and entered.
Lily sat on Victoria's lap, Helen the Diamond Elf sat in Lily's arms, and Ruby the Elblin sat on Victoria's head, and they fought together through games for more than a month.
Correction, the Ice Stone Elf soaked in juice as always, lazily staring at the projection on the screen that was divided into four screens.
Tetris Prop Race, Multiplayer Mode.
Xavi walked over and said, "Whoever wins this tournament will agree to a request that I can today." ”
Well!?
The goblins and little girls who were playing the game pricked up their ears one after another, and they didn't even have time to look back at Harvey before they officially entered the "battle", the projection screen of the curtain turned upside down, Ruby ate the props and made the picture of the other three people in a state of shaking lights, Lily added obstacles to Victoria's block elimination, and the pace of the game was several times faster.
Soon, the game is over, and the winner - Helen the Diamond Elf.
Lily's mouth suddenly deflated, and she turned her head pitifully, revealing an expression that she was about to cry and force herself back.
Ruby Fairy Ruby sighed very regretfully, originally planning to eat a month's supply of rubies after winning.
Victoria put down the gamepad and glared at Harvey angrily, "Harvey, why bother us to play the game, while going, it's game time, even if Diana comes here, it won't stop me." ”
The Diamond Elf covered her lips and chuckled, jumped onto Harvey's shoulder, and slipped into her suit pocket, stretching her waist and muttering, "I just happen to be tired too, so I'll ask to sleep in this pocket for a day." ”
"Good night, Helen."
A small hand stretched out from the pocket and shook it, "Hmm." ”
Harvey saw the results of the competition on the screen projection and teased Victoria: "How many days have it been, why are you the worst one every time I come here." ”
Victoria justifiably said, "I'm human. ”
"I'm also human, so let's compare?"
Victoria, who had suffered a loss, stared at Harvey with vigilant eyes, raised her hair with her little hand and hummed: "Don't, Harvey, you don't count!" ”
"What about Diana..."
"This... I could have won Shirley. ”
Harvey shrugged, "I think so." ”
"Here's a letter from Duke Anderson to you. Lily, I'll take you to the living room for dessert. Harvey picked up Lily's petite body and then the red wine glass with Ace the Ice Fairy on the table, and Ruby Fairy Ruby jumped onto Lily's little head in playful fashion, giving Victoria room to herself.
"Father's?" A dark cloud appeared on Victoria's eyebrows, and she still took the envelope from Harvey's hand.
