Freya felt a little impatient.

She had always disliked this kind of reception, because her status, or even simply her beauty, would always make her the center of attention at the banquet, so much so that she had to deal with an endless stream of harassers, and many times even had no time to eat.

It's just that she has been lively and active since she was a child, and when she grows up, in addition to studying magic, she also pays great attention to sports under the leadership of Xu Yi, so in fact, her body is far more healthy than she looks on the outside, and the amount of food is much larger.

Participating in this kind of banquet is not only troublesome, but her stomach is not full, of course she will not like it.

She would never have come to participate in such an event, but just this morning, a message came from the headquarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but she had to come in person to replace the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Wimbledon City, which she originally planned to attend.

All he did was to chat with the Grand Duke of Garbut at the banquet.

Although in fact she could have visited the Grand Duke of Galbut directly, and directly conveyed the news sent by her father through the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to the Grand Duke of Galbut, Freya would rather participate in this event than visit a great nobleman, and meet the Grand Duke of Galbut by the way.

Moreover, when she came to the Candela Empire this time, she represented the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but she couldn't visit anyone casually, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion.

When I met the Grand Duke of Garbut at this event, and by the way, I had no worries about this.

Not to mention. Wimbledon No. 1 is also the first steel mill built by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire. It represents the close cooperation between the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past ten years. It really means a lot.

The appearance of her, the daughter of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, can also show the importance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has another layer of significance.

Fortunately, because the Grand Duke of Galbut was sitting next to Freya, it was easy for the others to come and harass Freya, but it allowed her to enjoy the food at the table in a rare way, if only she could have been less respectful.

While eating, he chatted with the Grand Duke of Galbut, and soon the banquet was coming to an end, and the Grand Duke of Galbut invited Freya to rest with him elsewhere.

Freya gladly complied.

A moment later. The two entered a small room with several representatives of the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, respectively.

After taking their respective seats, the Grand Duke of Garbout chatted with Freya a few more words, and soon got to the point.

"Miss Freya, when it comes to magical communication network technology, the Empire is imperative. Even if your chamber of commerce is unwilling to transfer, the empire is already working on the development of this technology, and it is believed that it will not be long before a major breakthrough is made. At that time, even if your chamber of commerce transfers relevant technology, I am afraid that it will not receive the attention of the empire. ”

Freya smiled slightly, thinking that this was a threat.

"I just said that. As long as the conditions are right, our chamber does not mind transferring the relevant technology. ”

"But the conditions offered by your Chamber of Commerce are really ......," the Grand Duke of Galbut glanced at the Marquis of Askender who was sitting on the other side. Shook his head. "It's hard to accept. Your Chamber's request to continue to intervene in the operation of the Imperial Magical Communication Network in the future is unlikely to be acceptable. I think your Chamber of Commerce also understands that the magical communication network involves a lot of secrets, and it has a great impact on the Empire. If other chambers of commerce outside the empire were involved, it would be difficult for the empire to reassure. ”

"I understand. But as I made it clear in my proposal to you, that there are actually several different systems for magical communication networks. Our Chamber of Commerce is not involved in the secrets of your empire, and you can create a secret magical communication network system on your own. ”

"But this system can easily overlap with a normal magical communication network system. The Marquis of Askender interjected. "And it's hard to keep it secret, and we can't take that risk. ”

"Technically, it's a very easy problem to solve. Freya said. "On this point, I think the people in your empire who have research on magical communication networks are well aware of it, and I don't need to say more. ”

Grand Duke Garbout looked at the Marquis of Askender, who thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Freya's statement.

"As for your fears that our Chamber of Commerce will steal the secrets of your empire, you can rest assured. First of all, our Chamber of Commerce does not have this idea, and secondly, as I said just now, the technical problem is easy to solve, as long as you obtain the relevant technology, I believe that with the ability of the Candela Empire, you will soon be able to study and understand. In addition, among the conditions proposed by our Chamber of Commerce, the most important point is not actually this, but to merge into the continent's magic communication network system, which you have never objected to. ”

The Marquis of Askender muttered: "Realizing long-range instant communication for the entire Sainz continent is also beneficial to our empire, so of course we will not object to merging into this system." Of course, we also require the magical communication network system within the empire to have its own independence, and can completely separate from the continental magical communication network system when necessary. ”

"It's still just a technical issue, it's not difficult. Freya paused and continued, "Since the Grand Duke is also here, then I will simply say it." In fact, what our Chamber of Commerce wants to see is that you, the Candela Empire, can fully promote the establishment of a magical communication network. ”

The Marquis of Askender looked displeased: "Miss Freya, do you think the Empire will not do this? The magical communication network is so important to the Empire, how can we not pay attention to it." ”

"Really?" Freya smiled, not refuting the remark.

In fact, in the past ten years, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has vigorously promoted the magic communication network to all the countries on the continent of Sainz, but so far, no country has been able to achieve the original goal of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that these countries are not very enthusiastic about it.

Even the two empires, which are more powerful, do not pay much attention to this, and even local resistance often occurs, resulting in slow progress.

The reason for this situation is actually related to the problems that these people on the Kandela Empire's side just talked about.

It is a good thing that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce assisted in laying the magic communication network, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has captured this magic communication network in its own hands, which makes other countries very dissatisfied with it, and naturally they are not willing to pay attention to it.

What's more, even though the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce provided a lot of manpower, materials and technical support in the early stage, the main investment in building its own magical communication network still came from various countries.

Then these countries have invested a huge amount of manpower and materials, but they can't control this magical communication network in their own hands, and they certainly won't treat it positively.

So in fact, the request made by the Candela Empire this time, from an objective point of view, is also a very legitimate and reasonable request, which was also expected by Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi put Freya in charge of this matter this time, and at the same time, it also showed that he could hand over the magic communication network to the Candela Empire, that is, he was ready to hand it over.

It's just that Freya certainly doesn't plan to let the Candela Empire reach her will so easily, and she won't let go until she gets enough benefits for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

These days, she has been in contact with the Candela Empire several times, and she has been reluctant to let go of control, that is, to force the Candela Empire to put forward better conditions.

Grand Duke Galbut glanced at Freya, knowing that the Imperial Council and the Imperial Magical Industry Management Department were not ready, but there was no point in continuing to drag on this matter.

In the face of the absolute technological superiority of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Candela Empire actually does not have many conditions to talk about.

"Miss Freya...... Since this magical communication network is set up in the territory of our Candela Empire, there is no doubt that our empire should be controlled by ourselves, and this cannot be compromised. Grand Duke Garbut's expression was serious and his tone was tough. "Of course, your Chamber of Commerce has paid a huge price for assisting the Empire in laying this magical communication network, and the Empire will definitely compensate you appropriately. ”

Freya looked at the Marquis of Askender and then at the Grand Duke of Galbut, was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and shook her head.

"Lord Grand Duke, Lord Marquis, in fact, I don't understand, your Candela Empire is obviously very confident that you have developed military magic machinery on your own without the assistance of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but why are you not confident that you can protect the privacy of the magic communication network after obtaining the technology transfer of our Chamber of Commerce?"

The Grand Duke of Garbut and the Marquis of Askender all changed their faces.

After a moment, Grand Duke Galbut narrowed his eyes, smiled and shook his head: "Miss Freya, I'm afraid there is something wrong with your analogy, but our Candela Empire has signed the "Continental Peace Pact", how can we develop military magic machinery on our own?"

Freya pursed her lips and smiled, "Is there really none?"

With that, Freya took out two thin drawings from her pouch and handed them to the Grand Duke of Galbut.

Grand Duke Galbut took a look at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

The Marquis of Askender also leaned his head to look at it, and saw that there were two patterns on the two sheets of paper.

The first picture is a portrait of a young and beautiful woman, who is probably in her twenties.

The second picture, however, is a landscape painting that depicts a valley.

After seeing these two pictures clearly, the Marquis of Askender also changed his face greatly.

The face that had become ruddy from the deliberate anger just now had turned pale when he looked at Freya again.

Freya watched with great amusement as the faces of the two high-ranking officials of the Candela Empire in front of her changed drastically, and after a while, she asked with a smile, "Both, is Sister Teresa doing well?" (to be continued......)
