Chapter 161: Kareda
Damn! Ouyang Changchang didn't expect the government to be so treacherous and dare to set himself up, it seems that that old thing really thinks he knows himself very well.
"Hehe, but the Magic Association is not a one-man decision, although I can't say anything, but all magicians are not as good-looking as me, I'm afraid that you will suffer in the future." ”
Ouyang Changyuan and Mr. President have known each other for many years, and the two have known each other since they were young. At that time, Mr. President was only a secretary of a high-level government officer, responsible for the communication between the government and the Magic Association, and Ouyang Changchang was just an ordinary magician working in the headquarters, and the two knew each other because of their work, but neither of them thought that they would be able to reach high positions in the end.
If Mr. President is very familiar with Ouyang Changyuan, then Ouyang Changchang can be said to know very well what Mr. President wants.
The two of them had drunk together, Ouyang Changchang was a magician, but he didn't have the size of other magic, on the contrary, he felt that he was no different from ordinary people.
"Wang Shuyu, I hope you can get what you have pursued all your life, and don't leave any regrets......"
Ouyang said faintly: "We are all fighting for our own ideals, and now that my ideals are about to be completed, you don't want to drop the chain." ”
As a friend of Wang Shuyu who has known him for many years, Ouyang Changchang also wants to help him, but being in a high position makes him powerless at all, and this time this old man's behavior is indeed very inappropriate, I am afraid that there will be more trouble waiting for him in the future, I hope he can carry it.
Indeed, at this time, all the magicians in the world are now eager to tear Wang Shuyu to pieces, because Wang Shuyu has completely trampled their dignity on the soles of their feet, if it weren't for the warning from the Magic Association, I'm afraid they would have rushed over and messed up that ridiculous press conference.
But there are also some smart magicians, who have understood that this state of affairs cannot be reversed, and they still honestly cooperate with the government, if for the sake of these imaginary dignity, the entire group of magicians is placed on the opposite side of humanity, it will be worth the loss.
"Patriarch, do you really think so?"
The Berrulanco family, located in Norway in the north of Europe, is one of the best magical families in the European wizarding world, and the current patriarch of the family is Diana's grandfather - Kareda, an old man who has controlled the family for forty years.
At this time, in an ancient castle deep in the mountains, the old man Karida was lying next to a warm closet, listening to the people behind him report on the situation.
"That's right, a mage must not be on the opposite side of humanity. ”
Kareda's eyes were like torches, although he was very old, his spirit was very strong, "How is Diana's condition?"
"Patriarch, Your Excellency Crodo has not replied yet, but the barrier in Haruki City has been lifted, and I believe there will be good news soon. ”
At the mention of Diana, Careda's eyes became extremely kind, he only had such a granddaughter, his son died young, leaving behind the huge family, otherwise he would have wanted to retire to live in peace.
But when he learned that Diana went to Huaxia Kingdom alone, his whole heart was raised, and others didn't know, he still knew how many secrets Huaxia Kingdom had.
Although the International Magic Contest is about to kick off, it is very unsafe there, the conflict between the Dark Demon Order and the Magic Association is getting worse day by day, and any magician who comes to Huaxia will have to go through layers of interrogation by the Magic Association, especially at this critical time, so he doesn't want Diana to make her own decisions.
But she never expected that she would take advantage of the outing to sneak away alone, although the family sent someone to answer in Huaxia Kingdom as soon as possible, and sealed her magic power, but this still made her disappear.
Fortunately, the barrier in Haruki City has been lifted, otherwise Kareda would have to go to the Estlet family to settle accounts in person, and without the help of their family's Miss Jessie, it is completely impossible for Diana to lift the seal on her hand.
"It seems that the European Magic Association has always been very obedient to the management of the Huaxia Magic Association, should we ......?"
"What's the hurry?" Kareda interrupted his subordinates, his dry hands supporting his body and sitting up, "It will take a long time for the European magical world to become completely independent, and now is not the time to act rashly!"
The subordinates behind him looked stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "What the patriarch said is right, then we can only accept the request of the Huaxia Magic Association now?"
"Well, let's just promise them first, I believe that as long as we don't raise objections, the other magic families will not be silent. ”
The Berrulanco family does have such prestige, and many European magical families live in its shadow, so it can be said that it is the giant of the European magical world!
Kareda leaned against the head of the bed, but his eyes were always fixed on the flames in the closet, which seemed to have an indescribable appeal.
The continent of Ryuzisi is a vast land in the middle of a plate, and no bard has been able to travel through it all in the long history of the entire continent, so you can imagine how vast its area is.
But even this huge continent still can't get rid of the fate of being surrounded by an endless sea, it is like a lonely boat, it seems so small.
"There are only two things in this world that can resent me, the first is the turquoise water, and the other is the extreme cold of the North Sai. This is a famous quote from Bayern I, the founding emperor of the Hohenzollern Empire, whose life as a pioneer and conqueror of the continent is full of legends.
In the past, the continent of Ryukisi was not a unified country, but instead showed a trend of disputes among small countries. As the first heir to the Duchy of Ebelts, Hohenzollern learned from an early age that if he wanted to survive in these troubled times, he had to make himself strong enough. To this end, Hohenzollern devoted himself wholeheartedly to improving his martial arts and studying the art of war, and then he was very open to accepting the "aliens" persecuted by other principalities, and gave this group of humans a new name - magicians. Since then, Hohenzollern has relied on his courage and wisdom to unify this chaotic continent!
But he always had two mustards in his heart.
The sea water, the extreme cold, these two things were not conquered by Hohenzollern in his life, and as the conqueror of the Ryuzis Continent, he had always been haunted by this in his heart.
For this reason, the successors of the empire have been working tirelessly to fulfill this last wish, but they have always encountered a lot of trouble.
First of all, this endless ocean is full of too many unknown dangers, and there is no definite goal, which makes it impossible to carry out the operation smoothly.
The empire also sent a fleet, but it was only a few merchant ships at best, and the nobles of the empire had no intention of making any effort, so in the end, the rulers of the empire gradually lost their ambition to conquer the seas.
In addition, during the most prosperous period of the empire, the undead disaster broke out, and the entire country became devastated, and the national strength was greatly damaged, if it were not for the bloody battle of the Dragon Knights, the most powerful country on the continent was likely to suffer the danger of destruction.
And the extreme cold of the North Sai is a wild land that cannot be conquered at present, out of the Beisai, the further north you go, the lower the temperature, not suitable for human habitation at all.
The empire also sent an elite team of hundreds of excellent soldiers to survey what exactly was in the north of the North Sai, but they were all killed by the cold, which also discouraged the Empire's desire to open up its territory.
Since then, the sea and the north have been selectively forgotten by the emperors, and the emperor of the empire has also focused on how to better control the ministers and manage the territory.
But it was not until the spring of the forty-third year of Abigail III's accession to the throne in the 785th year of the imperial calendar that the sea that had long been forgotten by the imperial people was brought up again by the aging emperor.
"The establishment of the empire was done in the process of conquest, but I did not want it to die in comfort. ”
The open-mouthed emperor completely suppressed his ministers, for no emperor could utter such shocking words, "Prosperity on the surface cannot hide the decay on the inside, we need a great victory to sweep away the gloom of all this, and the conquest of the sea is the beginning of the heyday of our great empire!"
No one knows why His Majesty the Emperor would say such a thing, could it be that those damn dramas are to blame? The Imperial Prime Minister couldn't help but get nervous when he thought of the troupe that kept coming in and out of the palace some time ago.
"Your Majesty, your decision is so holy that the Magic Association is willing to contribute to Your Majesty's expedition. ”
It was unsurprising that a magician, who had always been reluctant to get involved in politics, could take the initiative to speak.
Thus began one of the largest expeditions in the history of the Empire.
It was a spring morning, and the sun in the sky had just revealed a ray of sunshine, and in preparation for the upcoming departure ceremony, the docks of the Empire were already covered with dense black armor guards, and the water around the docks was impassable.
Not far behind the Guards, the Imperial Security Soldiers were busy as they formed a long chain to keep the enthusiastic citizens of the Imperial Capital out of the docks.
They had exhausted all their strength, and even the soldiers had their shoes trampled off, and the medals and high hats on their shoulders were torn to pieces by the agitated citizens.
When the more than 2,000 security soldiers were the most troublesome, the enthusiastic citizens gathered more and more, and it was even a little grander than the scene of the parade of His Majesty the Emperor on National Day!
Isn't it possible that the citizens of the entire imperial capital are here? The sheriff stood on the high ground beside him, looking at the dense crowd of human heads, which made him almost faint with a dense phobia.
Enthusiastic citizens prepared flowers, cheers and applause, and the whole pier seemed to become a sea of flowers, with countless petals falling with the wind, laying a thick flower bed on the floor of the pier. Under such emotional turmoil, the two long lines lined up by the security soldiers seemed to be facing the coastline facing a tsunami, and they could be washed away at any time.
For this ceremony, His Majesty Abigail III ordered the renovation of the dilapidated pier a few months ago, and even doubled the Rhine Canal leading to the Empire, which plunged the Empire's finances into a serious crisis.
The purpose of paying so much is just to allow the huge fleet to dock near the Empire, so that tens of thousands of Imperial citizens can witness the strength and majesty of the Empire.
Not a single minister in the finance department dared to object to this rash decision of the emperor, for there had been too many such examples before. The only thing they could do now was to try to minimize the expenses this time to satisfy His Majesty the Emperor, who was easily hot-headed.
The sun rises higher and higher, and the bright sunlight shines directly on the sparkling water. When the first silhouette of the sail in the distance gradually revealed its silhouette, the crowd finally erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
It was a steel monster, as the flagship of this expeditionary fleet, the battleship "Black Rose" can be said to carry all the glory of the Imperial Navy, this symbolizing the highest shipbuilding technology of the Empire If it can no longer conquer the sea and explore the unknown territory, I am afraid it will be tantamount to a disaster for the Navy.
The pitch-black hull of the ship slowly docked in the harbor like a giant beast, and a huge purple morning glory flag fluttering in the wind on the mast, which is the symbol of the Hohenzollern royal family!
When the anchor was dropped, the citizens of the empire were completely in a boil, countless people shouted long live the empire, countless hats flew in the sky, and some even threw their shoes in the air excitedly......
Count Leo, the youngest admiral in the history of the Imperial Navy, led a fleet to explore the territorial waters of the Northern Cyprus, providing the possibility for the Empire to further expand its territory.
But for Count Leo, this is not an honor, but a shame!
It was not so much a personal disgrace to him as a great insult to the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy, although it has its own system, will always be a useless shelf in the eyes of the army, and the navy can only play the role of surveying the outline of the continent, because there are no islands that they can conquer, and the successive emperors have also paid little attention to the development of the navy, if it were not for the maintenance of the army structure, maybe the navy would have been abolished long ago.
But now there is an opportunity in front of Count Leo, as long as a new continent or a huge island is discovered for the Empire, so that the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to return to its heyday, after all, it also contributed greatly to the creation of the Hohenzollern Empire, and it cannot just decline.
Count Leo put away his distracted thoughts and turned his gaze to the cheering crowd in the distance.
