Chang'an: "Is Mr. Ye's hometown in the north of Siguo?" ”

Ye Fan thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have anything to call his hometown, because he had moved everywhere since he was a child. But if you're looking for a place to stay the longest, the North is indeed the best answer: "Yes." ”

"In which city?"

"Wolleu," Ye: "That's what you often call WO65." ”

"Know the city below! There is a very famous second lingua franca band, which also debuted there. It's called the Seck Band. ”

"yes, hehe, I've heard that, too."

"There are a lot of famous singers in the country. There are singers from all over the world, and many of them have different styles. ”

Ye Fan smiled at this, although his motherland is not very good in other aspects, the music style is definitely the most popular and avant-garde in the world: "Yes. ”

"It is said that everyone in Siguo can sing and dance, and everyone has their own special repertoire. Mr. Ye might as well come and ......"

"No, no, no," Ye Fan interrupted him, "That's just a rumor." ”

After two more glasses in a whisper, a scene outside the window caught their attention, a small child fell in the crowd, sat on the ground and cried. But soon he found his parents separated in the crowd, and the crying stopped, and his bright, aggrieved eyes searched around, but could not find where they were. Fortunately, soon his parents found him.

Chang'an looked at the child for a long time, and only after the child and his parents got together, the slightly frowning brow was released. But he still looked preoccupied.

Chang'an said: "Mr. Ye, in your impression, what kind of country is Lorraine. ”

Hearing this, Ye Fan vaguely felt that Chang'an was hinting at the question of whether he would defect to Lorraine. Of course, he still rejected his own ideas, but to be honest, he still had a good impression of the country.

"It should be a very humane country."

Chang'an seemed a little surprised by his answer, maybe the word human touch is used in the country, and it is not a very common description: "Do you mean that the relationship between the people and the people, between the people and the government, is it still harmonious?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Ye Fan said with a leisurely expression.

"What if it's material?" Chang'an: "What kind of country does Mr. Ye think?" ”

Ye Fan: "Land and resources are abundant, and they are quite rich, hahaha, this should be a recognized fact." ”

Chang An smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it seems to be the case now." But in fact, our economy has been stagnant since 20 years ago. ”

"Huh?"

The crowd outside the window was still lively, and the back of the children who had just been reunited had disappeared into the crowd. The people in the street parted on either side, and a singing troupe was floating slowly through it in a float, which was a group of singers for the banquet at the Earl's Court. The female singer who reached the top was singing a passionate song with a fiery expression, and by the power of sound magic, the voice could be heard throughout the city of Leberney, but the volume was about the same size in everyone's ears.

Chang'an: "Rich resources, only geographically belong to Lorraine. In fact, in order to survive, Lorraine and its surrounding brother countries have very close exchanges in resources and technology. Over the years, Lorraine and its brothers have had more than one dispute over the distribution of resources. Coupled with the constant disruption of the Eight Villains, Lorraine was already overwhelmed. And almost every item in the treasury of Lorraine is always empty 1/4 of the time every year......"

"......" This is really what Ye Fan didn't expect.

"The Empire has also not interfered in the politics of fraternal nations for many years. As one of the countries most closely connected with the Empire, Lorraine also passively cut off the exchange of resources with the Empire early on, and received no assistance. ”

Ye Fan suddenly remembered the "stocking policy" that existed many years ago, on the surface, the St. Femenos Empire was to release its vassal countries in a beautiful manner, and the small countries did not need to pay tribute. But when I heard him say this, I couldn't help but be suspicious...... Is this really the case?

"We also thought about looking at a place where resources are abundant...... Can Mr. Ye know about the huge Sadrov jungle? Do you know why the creatures inside look so strange? ”

Ye Fan shook his head.

Chang An explained: "Because the magic power there is extremely rich, and it is quite pure and gentle...... No, that's supposed to be called divine power...... Legend has it that it was the result of a holy war in ancient times, and the dragon king Mengqing poured his divine power into it. If the Warlock's assessment is correct, the hidden power below may be richer than the entire Eastern Land...... In the past few decades, not only Lorraine, but also all fraternal countries have had the idea of developing the Great Jungle, including Mr. Ye's Siguo. But ......"

But the Sadrov River Protection Law.

Ye Fan still knows this kind of thing.

Because this protection law, which has been in use for 50 years, any party that has done anything since then against the Great Jungle of Saidrov will be subject to joint sanctions by all countries. The greatest advantage of this law is that it protects the precious life in the green forest. It is a very good example of human respect for the natural world.

At this point, most people still have no complaints. But as the two closest countries to the Great Jungle, the Duchy of Sramie and the Duchy of Lorraine, this kind of maintenance is a sacrifice that I don't know how to evaluate. Slemy and Lorraine are like two trained domestic dogs, staring at the bubbling meat and aromatic steak on the table, but they have to obey the advice of others and not move.

At this point, Ye Fan finally understood Lorraine's difficulties.

"Although the communication with the empire is not as good as before, Lorraine still has to send a considerable part of the talent to the empire every year, and the only people who remain in Lorraine are the old-timers who have made great contributions. Human power is not a commodity, but it is also a force that can bring about change. Chang'an drank another glass of wine and continued: "Because of this, Lorraine also wants to open up his own set of ways to introduce foreign forces. But none of this really happened. ”

Ye Fan suddenly understood why Anastasia was saying those words in the interrogation room. It is better to risk a high-level disagreement between the two countries than to try to poach them. Now that I think about it, that kind of seduction was not the intention of Anastasia or someone behind her, but rather that their organization was responding to the needs of the general direction of the country...... It's just an act to stop one's own decline and even prepare for calamity.

……

The singing group on the street was gone, and the streets seemed a little empty as the crowd was mostly chasing the stars.

Chang'an: "Our country is dying, and in terms of the outcome we are heading towards, it is no different from the countries in the world that have now been annihilated by war. ”

Ye Fan didn't know the situation on this continent, and in his impression, the Duchy of Lorraine was quite peaceful. But after hearing Chang'an's exclamation, I had a different feeling. It was a strange, subtle anxiety.

I always felt that this kind of anxiety was not only when I thought about Lorraine.

"I don't mean to complain about anyone, and I don't think some of the Empire's policies are unreasonable. I just think ...... It's just a pity that if Lorraine dies like this, then this fertile land with rich and colorful people and stories, this jade gem set in the west of the empire, will have to retreat from the hustle and bustle, and can only be recalled in the memory of history. ”

Ye Fan suddenly thought of something important: "But now you have the soul of Wang Ma." ”

"Yes, with the power of the Horse King, the Earl's family should become a great driving force for Lorraine......"

That was said, but there was no joy in Chang'an's tone, or that faint worry. There may be something hidden that Ye Fan doesn't know.

Then the voice of a witch sounded in the tavern: "Look, I said he was here." ”

There was another voice, it was Pera's: "This locator actually works again, and it wasn't allowed when I used it last time." ”

Witch: "...... You ran into the belly of the demon whale and were washed into the sea, so it's strange to find someone. ”

The two walked over to him, and he just stared at them with wide eyes.

"Xiao Ye, you-" Before they finished speaking, they saw Chang'an Sabstir opposite, and their hearts immediately galloped, and they hurriedly added while their expressions were still calm: "I'm sorry to recognize the wrong person." ”

After speaking, he was about to turn around and run, but was stopped by Chang'an's sentence "Miss Weiqu, Miss Pera".

The two of them looked embarrassed.
