Chapter 2 News

No matter how envious you are, you can't solve your stomach problem.

Lucian looked at the illusion for a moment, then sat down at a random place and ordered the cheapest somen noodles.

Waiting for the space to be ready, he continued to watch the news playing on the magic illusion projector.

After the news just was broadcast, the picture on the illusion turned, but a picture of being in the air appeared.

At the bottom of the picture is a vast city that looks very majestic.

Lucian recognized it at a glance as Wimbledon, the capital of the Candela Empire.

Lucian has not personally seen this great capital of the empire so far, but he has often seen it on various fantasy news, so he is naturally very familiar.

Being familiar with places they've never been before is something they could never have imagined before.

Lucian's parents, for example, had ever been to the farthest place in their lives, the third largest city in the province about fifty kilometers away from his hometown, not to mention Wimbledon, or even the provincial capital.

If nothing changes in the world, they will only be like Lucian's grandparents' generation, who have never left their homeland for the rest of their lives, and know almost nothing about the outside world.

However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invented the magic signal transmission network and the magic illusion projector, and the Crescent Chamber of Commerce produced a variety of corresponding magic illusion programs, so that those who have never left their hometown in their lives can also understand the world without leaving home.

It was precisely because they watched those programs about "education" that Lucian's parents made up their minds. I can't buy all kinds of new household magic machines every year like my neighbor's house. Life has also been a lot harder. Lucian was also sent to study at Phillip Academy.

Therefore, Lucian has always been very grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, which gave him the opportunity to leave the isolated mountain village in his hometown, go outside to see the world with his own eyes, and have the opportunity to change his entire life.

Combined with the image on the illusion, which shows the city of Wimbledon from above, a voiceover sounds.

"The Imperial Royal Guard recently publicly displayed a batch of new small magic attack boats they purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it is reported that this batch of small magic attack boats was successfully developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce three years ago, representing the most advanced technology magic airships. It has a top speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour, and it also has extremely agile handling and good firepower. Equipped with this new batch of small magic attack boats, the air combat effectiveness of the Imperial Royal Guard has undoubtedly been significantly improved. This is essential to improve the safety of Wimbledon and protect ......"

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers in the noodle shop.

Lucian was taken aback, his eyes swept over the noodle restaurant, and found that both the owner of the noodle restaurant and the people who were dining, were all looking at the magic illusion projector on the wall at this time, their faces full of excitement.

"Haha, that's great! With this thing, the Royal Guards are much stronger than they used to be. ”

"Yes. I've heard of this thing. It is said to be the most advanced magic airship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it flies very fast. In the blink of an eye, you won't even be able to see the shadow. ”

"Really, but the news says that its firepower is just good, which is probably ......."

"Stupid you, how can you tell the truth completely on the news. This is a highly secret related to our empire's military strength, can you let people know about it casually?"

"Well, that's right. So it ......"

......

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Lucian twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a wry smile.

These guys don't understand anything at all, so what's so exciting here?

It has been clearly stated on the news that this batch of small magic attack boats was successfully developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce three years ago.

Then in the next three years, even if the new airship has not completed the research and development of a new generation of magic airships, there will definitely be newer technologies that will definitely be able to easily outperform these small magic attack ships.

Besides, these things are not the latest technology and the strongest combat power in the offensive magic airship mastered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, like those that are known as the strongest air combat power, and the Thor-class heavy magic combat boats that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce never sells, are the real air supremacy.

According to the grapevine, in the internal drills of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the woven Thor-class heavy magic combat ship can easily control air power, and any other type of combat magic airship is helpless against it.

Therefore, as long as the other forces do not have the same air power as the Thor-class heavy magic combat boat, then the new flying chamber of commerce will inevitably have air supremacy forever.

And now everyone on this continent knows that in the new mode of warfare, mastering air supremacy is equivalent to grasping the initiative, which plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of the war.

Of course, these are only imaginations and exercises.

In fact, even on the current Sainz continent, there is no country or force that will run against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or even start a war.

Because it's completely self-defeating.

So Lucian was quite speechless when he looked at the people around him who were inexplicably excited because the Royal Guard was equipped with a batch of small magic attack boats.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the Royal Guard, and even the combat effectiveness of the entire Candela Empire's army, has been greatly improved, but if you give those big names in the empire ten dares, will they dare to start a war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce casually?

You say that instead of challenging the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you are going to wage war with other countries?

No kidding, since Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, issued the famous "Bangta Declaration" in Bangta City ten years ago, proposing that the goal is to go to the sea of stars, thus determining that the purpose of the Sainz continent in the future is to vigorously develop the magic industry, no country has even thought of starting a war.

The first reason is that once a country wants to do this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort will directly intervene and not allow the war to expand.

The second reason is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has opened up a large area of technology related to the magic industry. and strive to help all the countries on the continent develop a critical period for the development of the magic industry industry. If there is any country that runs irrationally to start a war. It will inevitably be eliminated by this era and eventually lag far behind other countries.

No country dared to take this risk, not even the Candela Empire.

Therefore, the news that the Royal Guard suddenly announced that it was equipped with a number of small magic attack boats, in the eyes of many people, it was to enhance the strength of the Royal Guard and the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, but in the eyes of people like Lucian who have a certain understanding of the situation of the continent's magic industry, I am afraid it can only be used to maintain stability within the Empire.

After all, it was mentioned in the news some time ago that there were several riots within the empire, which attracted the attention of the imperial parliament.

The Royal Guard made the announcement. Maybe it's to deter these rioters.

While the people around him were still talking, the owner of the noodle restaurant did not stop his work, and soon brought the bowl of somen noodles ordered by Lucian.

Lucian was already hungry at this time, so he ignored the ridiculous comments of the people around him, and began to eat.

As he ate, he looked up from time to time to look at what was playing on the magic illusion projector and listened to the sounds coming from inside.

After broadcasting some current affairs news, it was followed by some people's livelihood news.

Lucian generally doesn't care much about these livelihood news, because most of them have little to do with him. He has no interest in that either.

However, when playing entertainment news, he couldn't help but raise his head and watch it for a while. Because in this part of the entertainment news, there is his favorite elven star, Miss Rinoya.

Looking up at Miss Rinoa, who was as beautiful as a flower in the magical illusion and had a noble temperament with a hint of lightness, as if she did not look like a person in the world, Lucian couldn't help but show a look of intoxication.

There are many celebrities who have become popular through various magical illusion entertainment programs in the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but Lucian didn't care about this kind of so-called stars who had nothing to do with his life before, only when he saw this Miss Lynoa, it seemed to touch his heart all at once, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

It's just that Lucian also knows very well in his heart that the world between him and Miss Rinoa is too far apart, and it is possible that there will be no intersection in this life, so he can only look at her through magical illusions, and he is already satisfied.

When the news about Miss Linoa had passed, Lucian came back to his senses, lowered his head, and found that the human uncle sitting opposite him was looking at him with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but blush, and quickly lowered his head and ate the noodles.

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't notice that the noodle soup was still very hot, so he choked up and sprayed a mouthful of juice on the table, looking as embarrassed as he looked.

Lucian finally calmed down, and found that he was already stained with noodle soup, and the table was even more messy, and his face was even more blushing.

The uncle on the other side didn't mind much, just shook his head, smiled gently, and took a tablecloth and handed it to Lucian.

Lucian hurriedly thanked him, and hurriedly disposed of the mess on the table.

"Judging by the way you look, you should still be a student in the academy, right?" asked the uncle with a smile as Lucian sat down again.

"Hmm, how do you tell?" Lucian was stunned.

The uncle smiled: "After experiencing a lot, it is naturally easy to see some things, which is not unusual." ‘

After finishing speaking, the uncle lowered his head and continued to eat noodles, without any intention of continuing to speak.

Lucian scratched his head, not knowing why.

Because of the small accident just now, Lucian found that he couldn't eat this bowl of noodles at all, so he had to call the boss to prepare the bill.

"This guest, Sheng Hui fifteen silver coins, thank you. ”

The boss's kind smile fell into Lucian's eyes, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It's just a bowl of somen noodles, and it costs as many as fifteen silver coins, which is too tricky.

The same bowl of noodles only costs two silver coins at most in his hometown!

However, thinking that this was Doral City, Lucian could only sigh helplessly and reached into his pocket.

Then his face changed dramatically. (To be continued......)
