Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 110 The Western Continent

"There is nothing impossible, as long as they think it is not suitable for their family's interests, nothing is impossible." There was a trace of pain on the face of the blond young man, and the other party naturally couldn't understand the embarrassment, but even if these words were said to him, there was nothing impossible. What's the use.

"Then why did their family agree to let that Miss Dreiser be engaged to you?" Wu Feng frowned and asked calmly. There must be some reason for this, otherwise the other party would not easily dissolve the engagement.

"Maybe it was because my elder brother served as an officer in the Union Army at that time, but my elder brother died for the country when he resisted the Chidi invasion last October." Get low.

That's it, Wufeng sighed in his heart, the world is so realistic, a dead alliance officer is no longer of any use to a family, not based on his own strength, such a marriage contract is of course extremely fragile. Patting the shoulder of the blond young man in understanding, Wufeng said in a low voice, "Then what does Miss Dreiser mean?"

"It's nothing at the moment, but I'm worried that she won't be able to bear the pressure from within the family." There was a trace of sourness on Plovlan's handsome face. In this era, it is difficult for a girl to resist the pressure from her own family. Not sure.

Seeing that his classmate was still so pure-minded, Wufeng shook his head. This classmate looked down on his fiancée too much. He didn't know how the two came together, but from today's Judging from his performance, it seems that it is far from being as simple as he himself said.

"Plovlan, what have you been doing all these years? Why did you come to Tanghe suddenly?" Wufeng intentionally diverted these unpleasant topics, and at this moment he can't do anything about these things.

"Well, it's hard to say. After graduating from university, my father passed away, and the family gradually declined. Fortunately, my elder brother joined the army and joined the alliance army. He did a good job in the army. I also want to find something to do in the principality. It's a pity that I can't find a suitable job in the Principality, and all departments are filled with the children of the famous families in the Principality. I found a few jobs and I was not satisfied, but I can't stay at home all the time. Fortunately, after the engagement, the Dreiser family helped me I found a job as a secretary under the Foreign Affairs Office of the Alliance, and I was barely able to do it. No, Viscount Moncardi was appointed as the Commercial Counselor of the Alliance in the Principality of Meli. Dreiser wanted to follow her uncle to the East, so he went there first. Principality of Meli, come here to take a look, I have nothing to do, so I came with Dreiser." The blond young man cheered up a little and explained.

"Commercial Counselor? I'm afraid he is an official responsible for collecting intelligence?" Wufeng smiled and said casually, "The Hansen Alliance does not seem to be directly bordering the Principality of Meli, and there are two inland seas, the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea. , Can the spices from the Principality of Meli be transported directly to the Hansen League across the Marmara chain and the blockade of Constantinople?"

Between the Central Continent and the Western Continent, there is a huge saltwater lake in the shape of a bow tie. The southern half is called the Aegean Sea, and the northern half is called the Baltic Sea. This saltwater lake can be called the largest lake in the mainland. The area is even several times larger than the combined area of ​​all other lakes in the entire continent. According to the analysis of geologists, it should be that the land subsidence of this land in ancient times led to the influx of seawater around the continent to form such a huge inland lake. One of the islands constitutes the Marmara Island Chain, and it has also become the most important throat of the entire inland sea area. Constantinople is the largest city on Crete, the largest island in the Marmara chain, and the most important city in the entire inland sea area. The Constantines are the most powerful masters of this sea area. Almost controls the sea rights of the entire inland sea area. All fleets that want to pass through this water area must obtain their consent before they can be safe. When Wu Feng was studying in the Western Continent, he also traveled by boat on the Baltic Sea. The wonderful scenery made him unforgettable to this day.

Opened his mouth in embarrassment, and wanted to explain, but when he thought that the classmate in front of him was no longer the school boy in the past, but the lord who held a hegemony, these inside information must not be hidden from him, so he silently lowered head, did not say anything.

"Are the Constantine pirates still so rampant now?" Wu Feng also secretly felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. His classmate was not very interested, and he didn't want to provoke the other party any more, so he changed the subject.

"Well, it's getting more and more rampant. Their navy never cares about those pirates. Unless they pay a high transit fee, many of them will be looted by pirates. Now it's getting more and more crazy. Before we came here, we On the coast of the Kingdom of Sparta, those pirates even went ashore and ransacked several towns, and even the regular army of the kingdom was defeated by them." Speaking of this, the blond young man couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "Those pirates are clearly the Constantines. Behind the support."

"Hmph, that's natural. The city-states along the coast of the inland sea are scattered and do their own thing. That's not cheap for the Constantines and pirates. Can't the nobles in your alliance not understand such a simple matter?" Wu Feng said coldly He snorted and said, "Why don't you go far away and take the land route. Although it is a lot of trouble, safety can be guaranteed."

"But who is willing to pay the high freight and transit taxes? Who doesn't want to be able to avoid high transit fees and avoid pirates?" He didn't spend much time in the Foreign Affairs Agency, but he already has a lot of understanding of these international affairs, "Businessmen are all after the highest profit, risk and profit coexist, so this kind of thing captured by pirates will never end .”

"Well, then why did you suddenly think of going to the East?" Wu Feng was quite interested in the purpose of their trip to their territory.

"I'm not sure about this, but Mr. Simon Cardi probably meant that he seems to have always been interested in you, Tanghe. He only stayed in the Principality of Meli for a few days before he hurriedly set foot here. It’s a journey, but he also said that he just went to the northwest to have a look, and he didn’t intend to go to the interior of your Tanghe.” The blond young man hesitated, hesitating.

"Hehe, Plovlan, don't worry, I will not harm Viscount Monkadi, even if he really came to me to collect information, I will do my best to let him have a satisfactory harvest. "Wufeng laughed and patted his classmate on the shoulder, "But I don't think our northwest seems to have any stake in your Hansen Alliance. Presumably Mr. Moncardi admires the magnificent scenery of our northwest and wants to come and have a look. , old classmate, don’t you think so?”

Wufeng's semi-sarcasm made the blond young man feel relaxed again. He was really afraid that Wufeng would arrest his fiancée's uncle in the name of a spy. Attention is life-threatening.

Although it is midsummer, there is a cool breeze in the avenues in the garden. The gentle breeze makes people who come back from the hot world feel as if they have completely let go of every pore at once, and it is indescribably cool and comfortable. While walking, recalling all kinds of anecdotes from the past, Wufeng felt that this afternoon was the most relaxed and free that he had spent in the past few years. She cherished it very much, and even specially ordered the guards not to disturb him, and everything will be discussed after the afternoon.

When it was time for dinner, Wufeng and the blond young man, who were still talking about it, walked back to the middle courtyard, only to find that Mr. Viscount Moncadi had already been waiting at the door of the reception room, with a respectful expression on his face. The haughty situation in the morning was completely different. He was arrogant and condescending. Deep in his heart, Wufeng despised these guys who thought he was born noble. He nodded coldly, and then invited a few people to sit down.

It is still a Western-style meal prepared according to the tastes of the guests. The aperitifs are sherry, KirRoyal and vermouth, and mimosas are specially for ladies~IndoMTL.com~Wufeng is very satisfied Taking a sip of the vermouth, Charlotte's craftsmanship is becoming more and more outstanding. This kind of aperitif made with cardamom, vanilla and coriander wine may not be able to reach this level even if it is a famous wine from the Western Continent. Xiangyi was just right, which whetted Wufeng's appetite, and several guests were also very surprised, they didn't expect to be able to taste such pure Western-style meals in the Eastern Continent thousands of miles away.

The dinner was carried out in a somewhat depressing atmosphere, but it was for the Viscount Moncadi who came behind. The creamy soup, from the selected veal steaks from the Tengger Grassland to the after-dinner GinBase and AngelKiss (AngelKiss) are all original and top-notch products, but it’s a pity that the Monca flute At this time, the viscount didn't have much thought to taste these delicacies. The master sitting opposite had been shaking the wine glass from the very beginning, and the kind of slightly playful eyes had been swaying at himself, which made Viscount Monkadi's heart ache. He was extremely nervous, he never thought that the guy he met in the morning was actually Li Wufeng who was known as the Northwest King among Tanghe people.

It's all due to the idiot Plovlan, who actually told himself what his name is Kafinitz, and let himself be mistaken, and regarded a crouching dragon as a little snake. I didn't know how to turn it around for a while, but the person who tied the bell was needed to untie the bell. It seems that if I want to make friends with Li Wufeng, I still have to go through this guy, Plovlan. The purpose of my coming to the Northwest is to find a way to break through and open up the alliance's predicament. If I can catch up with Li Wufeng's line, I am afraid that even the director will give me three points of courtesy when I return to the alliance.
