On July 20, the 6th year of the Golden Banana, Rondo, the captive commander of the Kaouzi Navy, once again set foot on this completely different continent after decades.

A few days ago, three legends of the empire were defeated by three transcendents, two were killed and one was wounded, and more than a dozen transcendents were killed, and he was the one who survived.

Originally wanted to die a glorious death, but thinking that his body would be driven by the necromancer, Rondo finally gave up on death.

Then.

He was just very emotional, the Golden Banana Federation actually had such outstanding geniuses, and dared to let these geniuses take such a risk.

He only thought that the Kaouz Empire was only a temporary defeat, and the powerful Kaouz Empire would still achieve the final victory.

But when he found the floating ships in the sky, the concept in his mind had collapsed.

Five floating ships appeared in the sky, as well as dozens of magical ships that could move forward without relying on sails, and before they could get closer, heavy artillery fire swept in......

Countless steel bombs exploded one after another, making a deafening sound, and in the steel bombs, there were also many bucket-thick crimson magic energy lasers that continued to sweep, and the sea surface that was cut by the laser emitted hot and scorching steam.

It usually only takes three or four steel bombs for the ships of the Empire to be blown up and sunk; And that kind of magic laser, as soon as the Imperial ship is strafed, it will be cut in half and ignite a fire.

This is not at all what war should be.

It's like a child with bare hands facing an adult with a sharp machete.

Or a rooster with teeth and claws facing a human chef who has prepared boiling water.

And the only large sea monster in the empire that has the advantage, before the counterattack can approach those magical ships, they let out a miserable roar, and then turn into corpses and float on the surface of the sea.

Rondo only vaguely saw what seemed to be a red shadow flashing away.

Even if the ships were far away, Rondo could hear the wails of many of the Kaouzi Empire's navies, and many of the Imperial navies began to abandon their ships and jump into the sea to escape because the Golden Banana Federation's artillery fire would be the first to attack those ships......

Then he was taken to a huge floating ship in the sky.

In this war, the Kaouzi Empire lost innumerably and even the future wars will not be won.

Rondo remembered the news that had spread in the empire before the expedition, and that the soldiers who had returned to their country and were executed by Kaouz the Great were really tortured and insane?

Why did Vioz, the god of wealth, involve the Empire in this battle that was clearly impossible to win?

There are many stories in the Kaouzi Empire that have been handed down since the time of the gods, the authenticity of the stories is no longer verifiable, and the gods in the stories also have various faces.

"The conspiracy of the god of wealth?"

Rondo secretly made a voice in his heart, although the empire was also secretly guarding against the gods, it seemed that he was still deceived by the gods.

……

Shaking his head slightly, Rondo struggled down from the floating ship and set foot on the stormy federal port city, a city completely different from what he remembered.

Because of a special curse, Rondo's body was unable to accumulate strength, so he was very weak.

The Golden Banana Federation was raining heavily, and it was midnight, so it should have been pitch black, but the Golden Banana Federation was brightly lit.

Rondo saw a lot of bright lights of various colors, and also saw many beautifully shaped crystal statues, which also radiated colorful lights.

"Are these magical artifacts built to worship the gods?" Despite the silence along the way, seeing the strange sight of the city, Rondo asked the few transcendent humans who had captured him.

After a few days of captivity, Rondo already knew that the so-called Golden Banana Federation had only been established for less than ten years, and that it believed in a deity named Mana.

It is precisely because of Mana's continuous miracles that give the people of the Federation an ability called [Data Template] that the Golden Banana Federation has become so powerful.

Simon had a puzzled look on his face, as if he was thinking.

Magical lights were plentiful and common in the Federation, and he was used to them all.

After all, Simon was only thirteen years old, and he didn't know much about the standard of living in the previous Federation, and his parents had said something about the past, but he had never had any actual impression.

In Simon's opinion, the use of magic lights at night is very common.

Simon only vaguely remembered that the seemingly expensive magic lamps used in the city at first were replaced by relatively inexpensive magic lamps that could absorb magic essence on their own and emit light at regular intervals.

Simon looked at the captured Rondo and asked suspiciously, "Do you mean those magical lights that glow?" It shouldn't have anything to do with the gods, it's just because it's good-looking, it's flashing, it's beautiful. ”

"Good-looking? Why? ”

Rondo looked at the magic mask above his head, this mask was emitted by a stick-like magic energy tool, which perfectly blocked the rain, but all it could do was block the rain.

He couldn't figure out why the Golden Banana Federation was producing these expensive and useless things.

Rondo's line of sight is pouring down, and steel mechanical vehicles with four wheels appear from time to time on the smooth and wide black road, passing quickly in the city, and some pedestrians on the road are holding umbrellas of special materials, but there are also many pedestrians who use this magic rain protector to block the rain in all directions.

"What, why?" Simon asked rhetorically, watching the message on MZ and waiting for the Federation's responders, and then he, along with Dorne and Edgar, would escort the captive to the City of Golden Bananas through the teleportation array to meet the Archbishop of Golden Banana.

Rondo's face showed a look of surprise and surprise, and he spoke, "Why, why is the Golden Banana Federation so rich?" Not to mention these mechanical cars, these magic lamps cost a lot of money, and only magic apprentices can urge these things, why do you abuse these things just because they are beautiful, does the Golden Banana Federation have a huge gold mine, and the energy continues to produce gold and wealth every day? ”

"Gold mines? Perhaps......" Simon looked puzzled as he looked at the bald head next to him.

Bald Donne used to be a traveling merchant, so he might know more.

Dorn glanced at Simon, then at the captured Rondo: "I also recently returned to the Federation, and I don't know much about the situation here, but if you say so, the Federation may really have a huge gold mine, otherwise it would not be possible to have the money to build these things." ”

While the two were talking, the skeleton Edgar leaned over and said in a voice, "I know this question, Master M just told me that the Federation has three gold mines in the Warren Plains that are being mined. ”

In this way, after Edgar's real hammer, several people have already determined the fact that the Federation owns the gold mines.

However, Edgar apparently did not mention the daily output of 100g, 180g, and 50g of the three "giant" gold mines......

And this also worries the teenager Simon.

Compared with the bald strong man who likes to complain, the stupid skeleton Edgar, although the thirteen-year-old Simon is young, he is also more far-sighted-

No matter how big the gold mine is, there will be a day when it will be mined, and by that time, will the Federation still be as prosperous as it is now?
