Chapter 661: The Dao is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high
Seth's answer to Ellie's question was simple, and just a few days later, they issued an announcement demanding that all countries not make any transactions with the city of Passus. In case of violation, Seth will terminate all terms of trade with that country.
As soon as this announcement came out, there was a sudden scolding below. In fact, logically speaking, this is the normal direction of development. First economic sanctions, then military sanctions. It's just a pity that Seth didn't take Jenn seriously at first, and was eager to conquer by force, and finally made such a big joke. Now that the Templar Order has made it clear that it will not interfere with this, Seth has had to choose a more "formal" approach to the problem. It is precisely because of this that this time, everyone privately slandered their stomachs, and naturally they still had to do what the other party requested. After all, this is a normal way to resolve political conflicts, and Seth, as the largest country in the Kleinsi Continent, is naturally concentrated in commercial and trade exchanges, and everyone is not willing to completely turn their faces for a small Passus and Seth, although they are happy to watch Seth's jokes, but it is another matter if it involves themselves.
However, it is a pity that Passus was originally a poor and remote place, and he did not have much commercial trade with other forces on weekdays, and only carried out some basic business contacts with the Skar Federation. So the other countries are really just putting on a show -- after all, they have nothing to do with the Passus.
Of course, the Skar Federation did not dare to disobey Seth's threats, so they quickly cut off trade with Jenn. Of course, for this reason, the Pawood family also sent Daili to discuss with Jenn, but Jenn didn't care much about this. After all, it's not a big deal.
On the contrary, it is no wonder that the Stars Chamber of Commerce's shelter plan has not been affected in any way. Originally, these shelters were the top secrets of the great families, as Jenn said. They sent their own people to find the location of all the shelters, sent them to guard them, and then called them over to build them themselves. Even some wealthy families have prepared the materials themselves, and the Vault Project itself is highly secret, which would be hellish if it could be detected by the Holy Kingdom Seth.
As for the rest............
"Archmage Prague, on behalf of the inhabitants of the Passus Territory, I welcome you."
Looking at the old mage in front of him, Jenn smiled enthusiastically. Speak. Hearing his words, Bragg also smiled slightly, and then nodded to Jenn.
"You're welcome, my lord, it's a celebration for us to be able to trade with Passus."
As he spoke, the old mage actually winked at Jenn playfully, looking "you know".
Jenn, of course, understood.
Now the relationship between Colencia and Passus can be described as good, and the magic core and hovertrain that Jenn took out have launched a vigorous technological revolution within Colencia. Especially hovering trains. It's not hard at all, it's just creative. If the magic core that Jenn had concocted before had only shocked the archmages of Colensia, then the hovering train would only amaze them. Actually, strictly speaking, these two things. It's not Jenn's unique creation, and the magic core can also be said to use a little bit of Jenn's secret skills. But the hovertrain itself is simply deadly, in fact like Prague. After many archmages understood the operation of the hovering train, the first thing they did was to slap their thighs and shout, "Why didn't I think of it!" ”
And for mages, this wisdom can turn decay into magic. is worthy of their admiration. In their opinion, it is not difficult for a mage to master several unique skills of his own. Mages have their own secrets. However, a mage can draw inferences from one another to play those rotten street spells, that is called real ability.
Originally, there was still some controversy within the Wizarding Empire about Jenn receiving the Order of the Ten Thousand Law Scholars, but with the advent of the hovering train, these controversies gradually disappeared. The reason is simple, if the hovertrain was really Jenn's own idea, then his understanding and knowledge of magic was no longer below the top archmages of Kolensia.
Is this true or not, but for so many years, no mage in the Demon Empire has thought of such a convenient, fast and easy-to-use thing, but it was thought of by an outsider, if you don't hold the other party high, wouldn't it seem that the mages of Colencia are all rice buckets?
And after that, there was a conflict between Passus and Seth, and Jenn directly slapped Seth in the face, which made the mages of Colencia closer and closer to him. In this case, Jenn offered to do business with Colencia, and Colencia certainly would not refuse.
"Of course, that's a good thing for both of us."
Jenn naturally understood what Prague was trying to say, and he just smiled and nodded. Then he looked behind Prague, and saw that not far behind the old mage, a huge cargo ship was quietly suspended in the air.
"That's what I want?"
"That's right, my lord, due to the urgency of time, we just took a cargo ship for refit, but rest assured, there will be absolutely no problems."
According to Prague, this is the new generation of magical ships created by the Wizard Empire using Jenn's new Wizard core technology. This was one of the deals that Jenn proposed, as Passus was so far away from Colencia that it would have to pass through several regions if it were to be taken overland. Seth, on the other hand, has stated that all countries and regions in his sphere of influence are not allowed to trade with Passus, so those caravans will definitely be turned away. And the sky is much more comfortable.
On weekdays, Jenn's request would naturally not be agreed to by Colencia so easily. After all, the cost of the floating ship is huge, and a high-grade spar can only last a few years at most. But now, Jenn's improved Wizard Core can provide a steady stream of energy and power, and although the output power is slightly lower, it is more than enough for the construction of cargo ships. And this is also an opportunity to see if there will be any problems with the magic guide core in regular use, so Colencia also agreed to Jenn's request without the slightest hesitation. Of course, if it is a new ship that is built conventionally, then it will naturally take a lot of time. So Colencia simply sent over a former military transport ship after refitting. But Jenn didn't care about this, anyway, as long as he could transport the goods.
"For the Prague Archmage, I naturally have absolute trust."
After taking a closer look at the transport, Jenn looked at Archmage Prague with a smile and nodded. And hearing Jenn's words, Archmage Prague naturally showed a smug smile. In fact, this ship is the latest type of transport ship that has only just been completed by the Magic Empire, so it will be used as the first batch of modifications. After all, the magic core is the most important technology, and it is naturally impossible to give those scrap products that are about to reach the end of their retirement years. Putting such a thing in the sphere of influence of the Holy Kingdom Seth will inevitably lead to concerns about problems such as technology leaks. However, Bragg thinks that wooing Jenn is obviously more important than revealing the technology of a transport, and besides, Saint Seth has never relied much on magic, so what if they stole it?
"Lord Lord trusts me so much, then I will naturally not live up to this trust."
Hearing Jenn's answer, Prague smiled more and more happily. But soon, his face was slightly pale.
"But......... Your Excellency really doesn't consider leaving this chores to us to handle? ”
"Good intentions."
Hearing Bragg's words, Jenn smiled and shook his head. Of course, he understood what the archmage meant, and indeed, it would be great if he could leave the affairs of the Passus Territory to a large chamber of commerce. But Jenn doesn't intend to rely entirely on Colensia.
"Don't tell you, Archmage, in fact, I've found a suitable partner."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Prague was stunned. This old mage is also very smart, and the reason why he made such a request before was because he knew very well that at present, in the Western Continent, almost no force dared to oppose Seth. However, seeing that Jenn now has Chen Zhu in his chest, he is obviously already prepared. So he didn't say anything more, but nodded.
"Since the lord has already prepared, then I won't say anything more, but ..............."
As he spoke, Bragg hesitated. In fact, the reason why he asked Jenn to help him expand his trade route was not casual before, but now that Jenn has said that he has a partner, Prague is not good to say anything. But considering that there was no point in concealing this kind of thing, the old mage only sighed in the end, and then spoke.
"Actually, I don't want to hide it from my lord, there are people who are very interested in the trade of your territory, and this time, I originally planned to introduce you two to each other."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn raised his eyebrows, of course he understood the meaning of Prague's words. It seems that in Colensia, there are already people eyeing him. But it's not surprising that I connected with Colencia several times and came up with a lot of good things. The archmages are all pragmatists, so naturally they will not let go of such a good collaborator.
"May I take the liberty of asking, who is the other party?"
"That's right, she's ..............."
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Bragg's words were not finished, and suddenly, an elegant and gentle voice came from behind the two of them.
"Hello, my lord."
Hearing this, Jenn turned his head to look.
I saw that not far behind the two, a girl was walking towards him leisurely. She was wearing a black robe with a cloak of the same color on the outside, and her supple black hair reached up to her waist, and when she saw Jenn, the girl reached out and gently flicked her long hair.
Seeing the girl in front of him, Jenn twitched the corners of his eyes slightly, and then showed a helpless wry smile.
"Hello, Miss Stefael."
Then, Jenn spoke. (To be continued.) )
