Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 6 A Tour of the Forgotten Realm
For Isaac's plan this time, some other countries that have not torn their faces with Isaac are also secretly rejoicing, after all, not everyone has this luck in obtaining this kind of high-grade steel battleship.
The only thing that worries them may be that the prices of some powerful warships are really staggering. Some countries with not very good economies can't even afford to buy a big ship, of course, even if they buy a big ship, it doesn't make sense, and the country's military strength can't be changed by two ships.
The emperor of the Hugo Empire felt an unprecedented crisis, since he united several great powers to throw out the suppression of Isaac, the situation in the Isaac Empire does not seem to have changed, the merchants are still doing business, the military is still developing, and they even have to export pure steel warships abroad! God knows how much of their steel reserves are still there!
Although many countries have cut off direct official contacts with Isaac, for the current Isaac, he does not need to go to other countries by himself, and the export of sea shipping and warships alone is enough for most countries to beg them.
"Everything seems to have exceeded our expectations, and that man is really not simple. ”
These were the exact words of Valjean to the Emperor of Verne.
Hugo and Verne then filed a motion of disconfidence in the entire Isaac Empire in the Far Hills Council, believing that the Isaac Empire was planning a conspiracy to monopolize the resources of the sea, and demanded that Isaac immediately disclose the details of the Sea Clan's contact and the shipbuilding technology of the steel ship to the world. And this time, Isaac didn't even send a representative to the Far Hills Council, and not only that. Two weeks after the bill was introduced, Isaac suddenly announced his withdrawal from the Far Hills Council!
It has always been other countries that want to join the Far Mountains Parliament, and no country has ever said that it wants to withdraw from this parliament. Historically, Isaac was definitely the first country to voluntarily request to withdraw from the Far Hills Council.
Although Isaac's reputation led to Isaac's withdrawal from the Toyama Council due to certain national reasons, he would still abide by the treaties signed during the Toyama Council. But other countries don't think so, you know, Isaac has only one treaty that has attracted the most attention during the time of the Far Mountain Council. That is the "Treaty of Complete Abandonment of the Use of the Knights of Auger".
This treaty stipulates that the Isaac Empire will never allow the use of the Knights of Auger until the other party does not use extraordinary force, including strategic magic, or the attack of the protector artifact, but now many countries are worried. Once Isaac withdrew from the Far Hills Council, the treaty was effectively very limited. In addition, the "Pan-Ocean Resources Development Cooperation and Exchange Organization" promoted by Isaac is now promoted. For the foreseeable future, as the development of the ocean progresses, this organization will have no less influence in the future than the Far Mountain Council, and Isaac will have a higher voice in this organization. For the first time in history, the role of the Far Mountain Council will be hollowed out!
This is something that no one wants to see.
So, this time, more countries joined the opposition to Isaac and completely cut off all official exchanges with Isaac, but most countries did not restrict unofficial exchanges. The interests of the country are the most important, once the real Isaac rises, then these countries at least leave a way back for their own country, and they can still sit down and talk with Isaac.
Isaac didn't have any official reaction to such an outcome, and in the words of the Empress's special help Luna Fernando, 'It doesn't mean anything to us at all, and we don't have any interest in what they're doing.' We've never had any help from them, and I don't think we will ever have any. But now that we have more solid allies, I'm sure we'll be more reliable than those now, at least not in your most difficult times. ’
Luna's remarks about 'falling into the ground' reached the ears of almost every king. They clearly felt Isaac's indifference to the decision of the Far Mountain Council.
"I said a long time ago, the Yuanshan Council is a fart, a joint organization without its own army is not binding at all, you say sanctions, sanctions? Other countries are stupid?
Wang Wei showed absolute disdain for these messy resolutions, he didn't care at all about the various small actions made by those countries behind his back, there were many, many things he had to do now, the new model of the puppet was in the most critical stage, and the new portable crystal cannon was also doing the most important finishing work. These researchers are all revolving around these two things, and the hardest is naturally Master Freud, as the only normal human in it, he even has to continuously blur his body to get better energy to devote to the study, of course, at the cost of several days of mental malaise. They would take a break from working on one thing and then another, and of course, everything would go very well as expected.
But, for example, the journey to the Elven Realm will begin in a month's time, in July the hottest month on the continent.
In July, according to the old Gray Dragon Castle, it is now a dry and hot time, but now the Gray Dragon Fort is cool. The massive World Tree almost blocked one-third of the entire Grey Dragon's area, and the sun only formed a huge shade here, unable to spread his obscenity throughout the basin.
On the first of July, the first group members set off from various territories in Isaac and gathered together at the Grey Dragon Castle, where they will stop for a short time before heading to the Elven Realm to explore the mysteries that have been hidden in the forest for millions of years.
This tour includes a large number of members and covers a wide range of aspects, and it is also the first time in the entire history of tourism on the main road. This time, the members included the three grand dukes, the rulers, the parliamentarians, the merchants who had dealt with Wang Wei, and some ordinary nobles.
Yes, definitely for the first time. Because Wang Wei is the first time that the concept of tourism has been proposed on the entire continent. Wang Wei's meaning is to let people who have been living in one place to appreciate the atmosphere of other countries, and then increase their knowledge and improve their taste. And, of course, boost the local economy.
For Wang Wei's statement, it is nonsense under normal circumstances, but now it is different.
Because what is open now is the realm of elves. In the past, there would be tens of thousands of adventurers trying to sneak into the elven realm every year without the need for others to invite them, but now Wang Wei has given everyone a chance, these people only pay a small amount of gold, not their lives, and they will not be shot by the marksman elves, everything is naturally smooth.
What's more, after the tour in the elf country, an appetizer was arranged for everyone.
The last time the Empress and the Grand Duke of Lion came, because it was dark and their mood, they didn't pay much attention to the situation in Gray Dragon Castle. This time, the mood of the crowd was naturally completely different from the last time.
Everyone set off from the Lion City, no longer in a horse-drawn carriage, but in a well-decorated tourist-specific scorpion car. A scorpion can fit a standard car shell on its back, enough to seat six people. And now that there are tens of thousands of scorpions in the Grey Dragon Castle, Wang Wei must find a job for these people who appear out of thin air, instead of wandering around the territory all day.
It's actually a very good idea to let the scorpions help with the transportation, first of all, people are not as afraid of scorpions as other creatures, because the name of the Sax scorpion has basically spread far and wide, and it is not something that one or two Wang Wei can transform, and ordinary people will never believe it if they don't see it with their own eyes. On the other hand, through these scorpions, Wang Wei can also very easily monitor everyone who enters here.
On top of that, the scorpion's movement is smooth and comfortable, enough to create a high-end image here.
Moving all the way, the group finally came to the bottom of the Gray Dragon Mountain Range, and the way to enter the Gray Dragon Castle was no longer that narrow path. The vast gray mountains have been artificially excavated into a wide tunnel flanked by bright bands of light, a byproduct of Wang Wei's underground research. Although it is not uncommon for people to dig tunnels in the world, the fact that they can be excavated to such an extent and in such a short period of time is enough to shock anyone. After all, it took hundreds of years for Verne to dig the tunnel, and how long did the scope of the Gray Dragon Fort be designated as Wang Wei's territory?
When everyone finally passed through the tunnel and came to the beautiful Gray Dragon Basin, everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
The first thing everyone saw was a huge and incomparably large tree, although it was impossible to tell what it was from the huge leaves, but a single big impression was enough for others to remember her forever.
"Welcome to the Grey Dragon City, where you will enjoy more than you ever imagined. ”
A small elf with a pair of colorful butterfly wings on its back appeared out of thin air, flew in front of everyone's eyes, and then levitated in the air, advancing with everyone.
"This, this is the phase elf!"
The Grand Dukes, who were sitting in the first row, stood up with some surprise, only to be hit back by the roof of the car.
"That's right, I'm the phase elf Lingling, the temporary receptionist of this dream trip, you can tell me if you have any opinions!"
Lingling said with a smile on her face.
