The reason why Steele said that Xu Yi's mention was a good idea was, of course, because now the eyes of countless people in the entire Sainz Continent have fallen on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and if this series of documentaries is launched, it will inevitably attract the attention of these people.

Everyone wondered what kind of magic this unknown small chamber of commerce in the negligible size of the Duchy of Stantin possessed that enabled the Kingdom of Ruerson to repel two invasions of the mighty Candela Empire in a row after gaining their support.

And the most concerned about this is, of course, the Candela Empire, which has suffered two crushing defeats in a row.

Seeing that the new year was less than a week away, and when the vast majority of people on the entire continent were preparing for the new year, a delegation from the Candela Empire passed through the Duchy of Norton and the Duchy of Mirando and entered the city of Anvimar, the royal capital of the Lampari Kingdom.

Through the introduction of the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari, the mission met Queen Sevinj in the royal palace by accident.

The mission's ostensible mission was to send New Year's greetings to Queen Sevigny on behalf of His Majesty the Venerable Emperor of the Candela Empire, and to bring with it a series of cooperation agreements proposed by the Candela Empire against the Lampari Kingdom.

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

Because there has always been official contact between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire, the two sides have been in close contact. In addition to maintaining normal contacts between the two sides, the specific purpose of sending the mission was to facilitate some trade between the two countries.

In the past, every year the mission sent by the Candela Empire would bring some chambers of commerce within the Candela Empire. Come and make a partial trade agreement with the Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari. It can also be regarded as a means to strengthen the ties between the two sides.

Only before that. Because the strength of the Candela Empire is too much stronger than that of the Lampari Kingdom, the sending of the mission is just a formality, just to express an attitude, in essence, there are not many real interactive trade exchanges between the two sides, and every time the Candela Imperial Chamber of Commerce that follows the mission to the Lampari Kingdom is just some small chambers of commerce that are 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 it had been in previous years, but also of much higher standard.

In the past, the head of the mission was usually just a random official sent by the Candela Empire, with no more than ten representatives of the small chambers of commerce. It's just a no-brainer trade deal with the Lampari Kingdom.

This time, the mission was personally led by the Marquis de Carcas, Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire, and the delegation was accompanied by several well-known large chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire, and even included representatives of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the continent, which was unprecedented in scale.

Because the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari had been notified in advance before the mission came, although Sevini was a little surprised, he had already prepared and personally hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain the mission.

The banquet was joyful and peaceful, but waited until after the banquet. The Marquis de Cartes, the head of the Candela Imperial Mission, seemed a little sparkling during his one-man meeting with Severny.

"Her Majesty the Queen. This is the kindness of the Empire to your country, why are you reluctant to accept it?" asked the Marquis de Descartes in a deep voice.

Sevigny's eyes narrowed slightly, and he wanted to let out a sneer.

The Marquis of Descartes was polite at first when he first talked to him, but when he came to the specifics, he immediately revealed his condescending face from the Candela Empire, and his tone was full of commands, as if he were saying what was right, and others had to obey it.

Of course, if the construction he proposed was beneficial to the Lampari Kingdom, Sevini didn't bother to care about his tone, but this guy proposed to Sevigny on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce of the Candela Empire, asking the Lampari Kingdom to fully open up the magic machinery-related technology currently mastered by the Lampari Kingdom to the Candela Empire, how could Sevini agree.

Although the Marquis de Descartes also stated that the Candela Empire would compensate the Lampari Kingdom accordingly, 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 assured Sevigny of a series of concrete benefits.

For example, the Candela Empire will expand trade channels to the Lampari Kingdom, specifically by allowing more goods from the Lampari Kingdom to enter the Candela Empire, and reducing tariffs on most goods, especially all magical machinery-related goods.

For example, the Candela Empire will fully open its domestic commodity exports to the Lampari Kingdom, which is similar to the previous Candela Empire, which is more abundant, and the Candela Empire, which is in urgent need of some commodities in the Lampari Kingdom, will also take the initiative to reduce prices and ensure that the supply is given priority to the Lampari Kingdom......

If it had been in the past, the Lampari Kingdom, a small country that was insignificant on the entire continent, would have been able to receive the attention of the Candela Empire, one of the two major empires on the continent, and give so much support and preferential policies, it would have been very happy to accept it.

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, then it is equivalent to obtaining the best talisman to ensure that the Sark Kingdom will no longer dare to be presumptuous.

But for the current kingdom of Lampari...... Not only were these conditions unattractive, but Sevini could easily tell that the purpose of the Candela Empire was simply in the various magical machinery and technologies currently possessed in the Lampari Kingdom.

How could Teverny agree to a request for an agreement that would do little good, but which would most likely cause great damage to the already rudimentary magical industrial system in the Lampari Kingdom.

However, when Severny said that he needed to think about it seriously, which was in fact a polite refusal, the Marquis de Descartes looked incredulous, as if it was incomprehensible that Severny would not agree to these conditions.

Sevini was silent for a moment, then replied calmly, "Marquis de Descartes, I am grateful to the Candela Empire for showing such kindness to us. But with regard to your request that we transfer all the technology related to magical machinery to the Candela Empire. I'm sorry I can't. ”

"Why?" asked the Marquis de Cartesian, frowning. "Isn't this a matter of your majesty's majesty, or is it that you can't even control these small chambers of commerce in your own country?"

The Marquis de Descartes said this very politely. He was almost directly questioning Sevigny's control over the kingdom of Lampari.

"Marquis Descartes, as the Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire, does it mean that the official of the Candela Empire can control all the chambers of commerce of the Candela Empire at your disposal?" ”

The Marquis de Descartes was slightly stunned, knowing that he had indeed said something a little recklessly, but he did not intend to back down because of this. Staring into Sevigny's eyes, he continued to ask, "Your Majesty, I believe that these are not problems as long as you are willing. ”

"No, as I said, it's not something I can decide. Sevigny waved his hand. "The core of the technology related to the magic machinery you mentioned is in the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and these magic machinery-related chambers of commerce in our Lampari Kingdom are only authorized from the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Strictly speaking, they don't have any power to transfer these technologies. ”

The Marquis de Descartes frowned: "Since they have mastered these techniques. Is there anything else the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can do to them?"

Sevini finally couldn't help but sneer lightly: "Marquis de Cartesian, have you ever heard of the word patent?"

"Patents?" the Marquis de Descartes thought for a moment. Slowly shaking his head. "What does that mean?"

Sevini explained to him roughly what the patents do, and then added: "These patents are certified by the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, so they are protected by the Wizards' Guild. If any of the chambers of commerce use the patent in violation of the patent, they will be punished by the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild. ”

Hearing that these so-called "patents" were actually related to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, the Marquis of Descartes couldn't help frowning.

The Candela Empire is one of the two major empires in the Sainz Continent, except for the Marlo Empire that makes it scruples, the only thing left that can make it scruple is the Wizards' Union, a force that spreads throughout the Sainz Continent and has influence on all magicians on the entire continent.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Candela Empire will not challenge the authority of the Wizards' Guild head-on, which is not half beneficial.

Seeing that Marquis Descartes seemed to be very embarrassed, Sevini smiled slightly and said, "Marquis Descartes, if the Candela Empire is really interested in the technology related to magic machinery, why don't you directly consult with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

"This ......"

The Marquis de Descartes couldn't help but smile wryly.

If he could, why didn't he want to go directly to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss.

However, from all aspects of the intelligence, it is precisely because of the military magic machinery that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce secretly provided to the Ruerson Kingdom that led to the defeat of the Candela Empire, so now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been directly sentenced to death in the minds of many people in the upper echelons of the Candela Empire.

The Candela Empire is discussing what to do with this damn Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and how can it be possible to go to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss cooperation.

This time, he personally led a delegation to discuss cooperation with the Lampari Kingdom in the field of magic machinery, and even obtained a lot of preferential terms for the Lampari Kingdom from the Imperial House before leaving, in order to figure out another way for Guò to gain an understanding of magic machinery.

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

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

However, this attitude of the Lampari Kingdom was not too surprising to him, as this was reflected in the previous refusal of the Candela Empire's request for the Lampari Kingdom to stop sending supplies to the Rouerson Kingdom.

The Marquis de Descartes looked at the smiling Queen Severny and sighed softly.

"Looks like ...... It's still necessary to adopt the second plan that was made before......" (to be continued......
