Hearing this, Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then stood up from her chair and asked, "Really?"

Leo nodded, and then briefly recounted the information from other continents he had seen in the Black Market Archives.

After listening to this, Sylvia's face showed a look of contemplation, there is no doubt that this is definitely important news, the United Kingdom has always suspected that the black market has a secret passage to practice with other continents, but there has been no evidence to prove it, and the black market side is also extremely cooperative with the United Kingdom's request, so that the United Kingdom cannot find any reason to investigate this matter.

The intelligence information from other continents that Leo is talking about now is undoubtedly the best evidence of the previous suspicions, and this is definitely a major event for the United Kingdom that can affect the policy of the entire kingdom.

If the United Kingdom can control this passage, then the United Kingdom can be said to control the foreign trade of the entire Velen world, and the profits contained in it are even more than the total trade of the Sigma Kingdom and the Inge Kingdom to control the sea routes, with rich financial resources and resources, the kingdom will definitely be able to become stronger in a short period of time, and even counterattack the empire in the future, and it is not impossible to reunify the Velen continent.

Thinking of this, Sylvia felt that she should do something, and plans came to her mind, obviously he intended to get the most out of this news.

However, when Sylvia was lost in thought and had a joyful look on her face, Leo poured cold water on her and said, "Although this news is worth manipulating, it should not be as valuable as you think. ”

"Why do you say that?" Sylvia frowned and asked, "How much do you think I'm worth it?"

"While this news has some value, it doesn't change the overall strength of the United Kingdom. Leo easily saw through Sylvia's mind and said: "Judging from various circumstances, even if the black market has a passage that can safely pass through the gray fog, I am afraid that there are some restrictions on that passage, such as the items that pass through the passage within a certain weight range, and how long it takes to use the passage again each time, etc. Therefore, the various materials transported by the black market channel may have some value for individuals, but for a behemoth like a country, the materials transported each time are not enough for it to plug its teeth. ”

Sylvia was silent for a moment when she heard this, but then said with some unconvinced: "Where did you see that there are restrictions on the passage?"

Leo looked at Sylvia and smiled, and asked unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, it was Rupert Fitz who negotiated with the black market, and incorporated some of the black market's forces into the United Kingdom system, and after that, it was rumored that the black market might have a channel connecting with other continents, and it soon spread throughout the United Kingdom's high-level, who do you think this news would spread?"

Sylvia frowned and said, "Since Rupert Fitz already knew that this passage existed, why did he ......?"

"I think it's because he doesn't like it," Leo quickly replied, "and he doesn't see the benefits of this passage." ”

Sylvia raised her eyebrows with some dissatisfaction, obviously Leo felt very uncomfortable with this statement, after all, Rupert Fitz didn't look down on the interests, but she just regarded it as a big discovery that tried to affect the political situation of the entire Veron Continent, which made her look like a redneck who had never seen the market.

"Actually, you can also get a piece of the pie," Leo continued, "since Rupert Fitz has already taken the profit he wants, why should you be polite? ”

Sylvia's face softened a little when she heard this, and she quickly calculated in her heart, as Leo said, although she can't get the benefits she wants, she can still make a fuss about this news and get some benefits from the black market, these benefits may not be anything to the whole country, but for her, they can make her do a lot of things.

It's just that this process made her feel inexplicably disgusted, because it made her feel like picking up leftovers from someone else's food.

In the days that followed, Sylvia took care of the harvest in Kabu City, and then left Kabu City by train with Leo to Landaure, her fiefdom in the United Kingdom.

"Don't you need to go to Lancet?" asked Sylvia a little puzzled as Leo watched as the servant fixed the two little ones in a special cradle in the carriage.

"What are you doing in Lanxi?" Sylvia looked at Leo puzzled.

Leo said, "Aren't you a government official in the United Kingdom?"

"I'm a good official, but I'm a special kind of official who doesn't have to be in the office every day. Sylvia smiled and said, "Where I am, my office is there, and if my men can't even find me and give me the papers they need to work on, then they won't have to work under me anymore." ”

I don't know if it was the effect of her words, or if it was the case, but before the train left, dozens of documents were hurriedly delivered to the carriage and handed over to Sylvia for processing.

Leo didn't bother Sylvia to deal with the official documents, but sat down in the car window, picked up a travel guide dedicated to Randall and read it.

At the time of the establishment of the United Kingdom, many imperial nobles turned to the United Kingdom, although some of these nobles had higher titles than Sylvia at that time, but they were only some title nobles or court nobles, without any fiefs, Sylvia was the only one with fiefs in the empire, However, he joined the nobility of the United Kingdom, so King Philip gave Sylvia an entire city as his new fief, and this fief was five times the size of the Belmont family fief, and Sylvia became one of the few nobles in the United Kingdom to have a fief.

However, the original fiefdom of Randall to Sylvia came as a surprise to many, because Randall is not only the fourth largest fishing port in the United Kingdom, but also has a very long history and special status.

Before crossing the sea to the Inge Islands, the royal family of the Kingdom of England had settled in Landauer for a period of time, and the Royal Family of England also began to believe in the god of the sea here, and drafted the first draft declaration of the founding of the Kingdom of England, so some people call Landauer the origin of the Kingdom of England.

Since then, Randall has been in the hands of the French royal family, and usually the second, third, and fourth heirs to the royal family may be canonized as Prince Randall, which is also one of the most incredible reasons why King Philip gave Randall to Sylvia, and in the eyes of others, Randall will definitely become the exclusive fief of the heir to the king of the United Kingdom under normal circumstances.

Although Landauer was originally built according to a seaport city, its geographical location is not suitable as a seaport, even if a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, the port dock here is still not very large, usually cargo ships will not choose Landauer as a key port, but would rather walk along the coastline for a distance to the next port and then dock, so it gradually gave up the possibility of being a cargo port, and instead specialized in fishing, and converted all the docks into fishing docks, which made Landauer able to occupy a place among many seaside cities。

The reason why the French Empire at that time would forcibly build such a location with a geographical environment that was not advantageous as a harbor city, mainly because of the influence of religion, this is one of the five sacred places of the Poseidon Church recorded in the classics, once the Poseidon appeared here, and here ignited the first saint of the Poseidon Church, Dagon, Dagon then walked on the coast of the Vilen continent, and created a feat of walking around the coastline of the Vilen continent, and then with this feat to integrate the Poseidon Church that was divided at that time, and established a unified Poseidon Church in Landauer, and he was buried in Landauer after his death。

Because of this, the Poseidon Church will spare no effort to persuade the then French Empire to transform Landauer, a remote fishing village with a geographical environment, into a harbor city, and the first Poseidon Church was built shortly after Landauer became a harbor city, so whether it was in the past or now, Landauer is a devout follower of the Poseidon Church from top to bottom.

Although Landauer is a sacred place for the Poseidon Church, and its inhabitants are all devout members of the Poseidon Church, they do not have a good relationship with the Kingdom of Inge.

This is mainly because the royal family of England claims to be the son of Poseidon and the descendants of Poseidon, which in the eyes of the fundamentalists of the Poseidon Church in Landauer, this move is completely blasphemous.

But within the Landauer Poseidon Church, there was a split because of the English royal family, more than the general Poseidon Church members and senior clergy all agreed with the identity of the son of Poseidon in the Kingdom of England, and believed that the Kingdom of England is the best destination for the Poseidon Church, the Poseidon Church does not have to stay on the continent of Veron, and compete with other churches for believers, they can all move to the Kingdom of Inge, and use the relationship with the royal family to make the Poseidon Church the only state religion of the Kingdom of England.

Fundamentalists, on the other hand, believe that blasphemy is blasphemy, and that even if there are huge interests involved, as believers, we should not allow others to blaspheme for the sake of these interests.

As a result, the Poseidon Church was finally split into two, and most of the Poseidon sect members left Landauer and went to the Kingdom of England, which eventually became the current Angloidon State Religion, and carried out a series of religious reforms, recognizing the identity of the son of the Poseidon of the English royal family from the church scriptures.

The Poseidon cultists who remained in Randall still practiced the original principles of the Poseidon Church in the past, they regarded the Kingdom of Inge as enemies, regarded as heretics, and they were willing to do anything that could have a bad impact on the Kingdom of Inge, believing that only in this way could they regain the attention of the Poseidon.

So every time there is a war conflict between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, the people who are most enthusiastic to sign up for the army are always Landauer, and in the course of the war, the people who fight at the forefront are always Landauer, so if there is suddenly no manpower during the war between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, then Landall is willing to send enough people to participate in the war.

Seeing this, Leo returned the book to the title page on the front cover, and saw a line at the bottom of the title page, Important Reminder for the Engers to be cautious about moving to Randall.

"I'm from Inge. Leo said Sylvia, who was still working with her head down.

Sylvia was stunned, raised her head, and looked at Leo for a while before she said, "I know you're from Inge. ”

Leo picked up the Randall travel guide book in his hand and shook it.

Sylvia immediately understood what Leo meant, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the train station is in the suburbs, and you still need to make a horse-drawn carriage some distance to get to the city of Randall, and we don't live in the city, but live in the castle of Wanghai Cliff, which was the castle built by the English royal family back then, and the style is somewhat similar to the castle style of the English Kingdom now, you should be very used to living there." ”

Leo didn't say anything more, and continued to read the Randall travel guide in his hand.

Although Landauer was a church, and a sacred place for a powerful church, they did not benefit from it, because they did not take advantage of their advantages in maritime exploration, exploration, and commerce, and stuck to their traditional fishing industry from beginning to end, which made them miss the opportunity to get their hands on the supremacy of the seas again and again.

So to this day, the port city of Landauer as a whole is no different from the size it was when it was first built, except that the marina has been refurbished to accommodate today's fishing boats, and there are a few more buildings such as casinos, theaters and nightclubs.

In the guidebook, there are three places worth visiting in the Landauer classics, one is the Black Castle in the cliff of Wanghai, the other is the original church and the tomb of the saint of the Poseidon Church, and the last one is not in the harbor city, but in the open sea of the Landauer Sea, a special stone island.

According to the travel guide, every year during the tidal festival, the Poseidon Church will go to the sea to sacrifice, they will sacrifice the best catch of the year to the god of the sea, their sacrifice ceremony is no different from the traditional Poseidon sacrifice ceremony, it is not worth paying too much attention, and what is really worth seeing is the place of sacrifice, at that time a stone island composed of all hexagonal prism pillars, there is a huge stone palace on the island, the gate of the megalith palace is a huge stone gate, no one can open this stone gate, and the sacrifice of the Poseidon Church is on the altar in front of the stone gate。

In normal times, this stone island sinks to the depths of the ocean that ordinary people cannot approach, and only on the day of the sacrifice will it float up and accept the sacrifice.

It is rumored that the stone palace is inhabited by the god of the sea, and when someone opens the stone gate, the god of the sea will wake up from the palace, and then the sea will flood everything in the world.
