Chapter 1351 failed unexpectedly?
This morning, the main building of Chenhua Castle.
Brand moved his body, which was a little sore from being locked up by the ladies, all the way to the terrace.
When he arrived, the increasingly considerate Rowling prepared breakfast here as usual and greeted him with a smile.
Next, enjoy breakfast leisurely and enjoy Rowling’s increasingly superb massage skills.
As usual, Brand listened to Rowling's account of the latest information sent by Free Iris, or rather... the morning news.
“Master, the news about the joint expedition on the three continents of Fantim, Rios and Sweetin has now spread further throughout the entire Human Alliance.
Stowaways from the Outer Continent Traces of them are also appearing more and more frequently in the Human Alliance
Especially in some small countries with weak national power, and in relatively chaotic and unregulated wild areas
Although all countries have done so in advance. There were some responses.
However, the shrinking of business in the Human Alliance and the rising prices of living and war supplies inevitably began to become more severe.
Cities in some small countries have even directly entered a state of martial law, strictly checking all people entering and leaving. "
"In comparison, our empire is doing fine.
But yesterday afternoon, on the southwest border of the empire, in the western wilderness of Lucio’s territory.
The local city defense team cooperated with the Imperial Judgment Department to break into a border black market.
Killed and captured more than fifty unknown aliens who smuggled into our Kaya Empire.
According to preliminary interrogation, they came from the chaotic zone outside the southwest of the empire.
The reason why they smuggled in was not only to make profits, but also to seek refuge.
Under the influence of the general environment, fierce battles are breaking out among various forces in that chaotic area..."
While listening to Rowling's story, Brand was also thinking secretly.< br>
Recently.
The overall situation of the Human Alliance is getting worse day by day, and all kinds of bad news can be heard every day.
In contrast, everything at Chenhualing was business as usual.
He has been staying at home every day recently to draw the rune circle.
Including but not limited to assisting Celine in making top-notch magic devices that carry the semi-permanent [Twilight Cross] and [Space Diamond] large magic rune arrays.
Some time ago, when the empire disclosed the news of the invasion of enemies from the outer continent.
Although the people in Chenhualing were also in panic for a day or two, all the supplies in the market were sold out.
But this is the limit.
After Chris issued a series of conciliatory decrees, Hisari also led the army around the territory to show force.
Everything quickly returned to normal.
The situation in other parts of the Kaya Empire is similar to that of the Morning Flower Territory. After all, they are the top country in the Human Alliance, and the people's sense of security is still very high.
It is different abroad.
At this point in time, some countries with weak national power have begun to appear in chaos.
Unavoidable to be affected, the Free Iris Chamber of Commerce's influence abroad also began to shrink in an orderly manner under Chris's instructions.
Currently, they have given up more than a quarter of their trade routes, and at the same time have strengthened their defense.
And it’s not just the Human Alliance.
Judging from the feedback from the store managers sent by Free Iris to the Elf Forest.
Although the overall situation of the Elf Forest is better than that of the Human Alliance, their business has also shrunk a lot.
At Free Iris' shop in the Elf Forest, the number of ordinary goods sold to the outside world every week began to gradually decrease.
At the same time, the sales of a few resources that help fight have been rising.
Obviously, the elves have also begun to prepare for future chaos.
Affected by this, in addition to business taxes.
The maritime trade of their Morning Flower Collar, which had been expanding a few years ago, has now begun to shrink.
Not only the Morning Flower Collar, but the entire empire is in the same situation.
Of course, the extent of the contraction in trade is not that great for the time being.
After all, the high profit margins are still there, and the world is always full of brave businessmen who take risks.
Panic can only scare ordinary people.
In addition, the Empire and Elf Forest have recently adopted a series of measures to eliminate chaos, create a better business environment, and try to slow down or stop the decline of business.
In general, judging from the current situation, as long as the chaos and war that may break out later do not pose a huge threat to both parties, the maritime trade between the two parties will at most be reduced in popularity.
Chenhualing can still maintain a sustained income to a certain extent. While thinking.
Sonya, who had just gotten up, also stretched out and came to the terrace.
After gathering my thoughts and saying hello with a smile.
Brand asked:
“Didn’t sister Sonia go to work today?”
He sat down next to Brand and shared Brand's breakfast without any hesitation.
Sonia shook her head and said:
“After being busy for so many days, it’s time to take a break.
And the wedding is approaching, I can’t neglect my wife. Isn’t that your fiancé?”
At the end, Sonia winked at Brand and hinted that she was free today.
Brand immediately put his arms around Sonia's slender waist and said with a smile:
"Catherine and I are going to go back to Holland to meet the eldest man in a while. Does sister Sonia want to come with us?"
He had returned to Fort Holland yesterday afternoon.”
Hearing this, Sonia quickly said curiously:
“Count Holland’s. Is the promotion over? Success or failure?”
Brand shook his head and said:
“It failed unexpectedly.
According to what he said, this time it was just a little trial and a try.
< br>Accumulate experience for subsequent real promotions”
“That’s it!”
Speaking of this, Sonia said with some hope:
"I really hope that Count Holland can be promoted smoothly in the future.
In this way, we will be more confident."
……
Morning time.
Gardens at Hollandburg.
After glancing at Sonia and Catherine who were introducing gifts to Lureya at the side.
Mr. Holland turned his eyes to Brand, who was sitting opposite and eating snacks leisurely. He smiled and joked:
"I heard Yersen say that everyone is very busy recently. Surprisingly.
But you look quite relaxed.”
After swallowing the cake in his mouth, Brand shrugged and said:
"It just seems leisurely now, I have been quite busy recently.
Morning Flower Collar is preparing for the war. I also draw rune circles at home every day.
Today I just take a short rest.”
Hearing this, Mr. Holland suggested happily:
< br>
"In that case, please tell me about the current situation by the way.
Yersen threw me a lot of intelligence information this morning, and then ran out to train with the Knights. ."
At the end, he took the pile of information on the table in front of him and flipped through it.
Master Holander continued:
“I have been practicing for a few months, and the changes during this period are really exaggerated.
I can guess that there are more and more demons smuggling into the country.
After all, the end of the Ventim Continent is coming, and they must find a way out for themselves.
But how come Rios, Sweetin, and even more forces from the outer continent are also targeting us?
Do you think we are easy to bully? "
At the end of the sentence, the smile on Mr. Holland's face shrank slightly and his brows furrowed for a moment.
At this moment, a subtle and sharp aura like [Champion's Power] flashed through Brand's senses.
When Brand unconsciously paused, his brows furrowed slightly and he wondered if he had made a mistake in his perception just now.
Mr. Holland leisurely picked up a few chili peppers on the side of the plate, threw them into his mouth, chewed them, and then casually reminded:
"Remember to keep it a secret, I don’t want to do it yet. Revealed to the public.
This is not in line with the low-key elegance of our family.”
As soon as he said this, he reacted for a while.
Brand’s eyes widened unconsciously!
