Chapter 810: Keeping a Promise
At night, at the highest point of the shantytown at Kempera Pier, Eleanola, wearing a dark purple dress, was lying on the balcony at the moment, feeling the slightly cold sea breeze after winter, and asked without looking back: "Your Royal Highness, do you really plan to tell the visitor from the other world the secret that we have guarded for many years? and even give him the Starlight Gear? It is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the royal family, and it is also the key to open the artifact - the cross-border door." ”
"So what? Can these things give us great power, or can they help the restoration of the country? If we can't, why don't we exchange them for something really useful?" asked Vivien, bowing her head, as she flipped through the English version of The Treatise on the Monarch.
In these days of life on earth, if there is anything that has had the most profound impact on her, it is undoubtedly pragmatism that prefers pragmatism, abandoning all unrealistic illusions, focusing on the immediate and practical actions within her ability, rather than holding on to a so-called great goal, and not making any progress for years, decades, or even hundreds of years in a row.
After seeing the earth where everything is efficient, the dark elf Lori felt that the previous plan was simply terrible, and there was no efficiency at all.
"Didn't you think about taking the crossover from him?" Eleanora turned, her eyes glinting dangerously.
"Rob, hahahaha! Are you crazy? Not to mention that the artifact has already rejected my approach, with his current strength, do you think you are sure that you can succeed? Don't you know yet, his body is sealed with the king of the fire dragon, Ferguera, once released, even you will not escape death. Vivien laughed and shook her head, her tone revealing a strong warning.
"Fergra, the king of the Sleepless Volcano!" Eleanora's face changed slightly, and she immediately dispelled the evil intent that had just sprouted in her heart.
Although she was not much of a historian and had little interest in poetry, she had heard of the most powerful fire dragon ever seen on the entire continent and knew that she could not be an opponent at all.
Vivien shrugged her shoulders disappreciatively and replied, "That's right, it's the mighty dragon that countless people call a tyrant, so we can't play tricks, we can only exchange his most important secret for his support." Don't worry, I've already negotiated, and he'll provide us with all the weapons, transportation, and supplies we need to return to our country. In other words, by May next year at the latest, we will be able to cross the sea and launch a vigorous war for the restoration of the country. ”
"How is this possible?!In just half a year, he was able to arm an army of 30,000 ships?, and where did he get so many ships?" exclaimed Eleanora in disbelief.
After all, the level of productivity in the other world is relatively low, and according to the original plan, she planned to accumulate steel and ships in the trade process little by little through several chambers of commerce controlled by her back, and planned to spend hundreds of years to prepare.
But now it's good, it's all done in half a year, how can she not be surprised.
"I don't know how to describe it to you.
The world in which he lives is a world with highly developed machinery and electricity.
With the power of machinery, thousands of weapons can be crafted in a day, and a ship bigger than any ship you've ever seen can be built in a matter of weeks.
You'll never be able to imagine the spectacle until you see it with your own eyes.
As long as you can pay enough money, there's nothing you can't buy.
Take the book "The Monarch" in my hand, for example, which tells how a king should govern the country, how to distribute power, and how to consolidate his rule.
Can you imagine that such a book can be bought for the price of a meal in the most ordinary bookstore?
I assure you that if you translate this book into the lingua franca and put it before the monarch of any country on the continent, you will immediately be canonized as a nobleman and receive a large and rich domain.
So don't doubt that half a year is enough for the world he's in. ”
With that, Vivien narrowed her eyes and looked into the dim street, and suddenly saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the shantytown, and curled the corners of her mouth to her subordinates standing at the door of the room, "Go, take out the box in the secret room, our most important guest has arrived." ”
"As you wish, Your Highness. The young maid bowed, turned and disappeared into the hallway.
After about three or five minutes, she returned to the room with a black iron box engraved with mysterious symbols and gently placed it on the table.
Just as Eleanora was gently wiping the thick dust on the box, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and in less than thirty seconds, Lu Lipan crossed the threshold under the leadership of two servants, and asked in a slightly tired voice, "Say, what's the matter with me in such a hurry?"
"Of course, it's good on my promise! Hey, what I promised you, it's all there now. Vivien gestured to the iron box on the table.
"Oh?!" Lu Li was visibly surprised.
He originally thought that the dark elf Lori would delay for a while, but he never expected that as soon as he returned to Kempera, the other party couldn't wait to start fulfilling the conditions agreed before.
Eleanora carefully touched the intricate patterns on the surface of the iron box, only to see that with the rhythmic flicking of her fingers, a dark blue glow continued to flash, and finally converged on the badge in the center like a gate.
The whole process lasted less than five seconds, and the box made a clicking sound, as if there were countless gears turning, followed by the iron box quickly split and deformed, and finally turned into a heavy metal book, the cover of the book was also inlaid with palm-sized gears, and the surface was densely covered with points of light, like stars in the night sky.
Lu Li suddenly felt that the scene that happened just now was very similar to the first time he opened the gate, and there seemed to be some mysterious connection between the two.
To confirm this, he picked up the heavy metal book, turned the first page, and began to read what was written word for word.
Although he had been inspired by the sages when he first came to Kempera, and was able to read and understand most of the words of the other world without any obstacles, today, he encountered a considerable problem.
The metal book is not written in the lingua franca, but in the Manichaean language used by the underground races.
Although Lu Li was learning Manichaean, he was not very proficient, so he had a hard time reading, and from time to time he had to ask the Fire Dragon King for advice, and it took more than two hours to barely read the content recorded in the book.
Obviously, this is not an ordinary book, it records the birth of the dark elves, and it also records the time and space demon god Ettar who is second only to the demon king, and the artifact he holds, the cross-border door......
