Chapter 55 Do You Know Patents?

The reason why Steele said Xu Yi's proposal is a good idea is, of course, because countless people in the entire Sainz continent are now focusing on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If this series of documentaries is released, it will inevitably cause these people's attention.

Everyone wants to know, what kind of magical power does this unknown small chamber of commerce in a negligibly small country like the Principality of Standing possess, that can make the Kingdom of Rulson , was able to repel the two invasions of the powerful Candela Empire in a row.

The one who is most concerned about this is of course the Candela Empire, which has suffered two consecutive defeats.

Seeing that there is only less than one week left before the new year, and when the vast majority of people on the entire continent are preparing to welcome the new year, a mission from the Candela Empire passed through the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Miranda, and entered Anweimar City, the capital of King Lampari.

Introduced by the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari, the mission successfully met Queen Sevigny in the palace.

The ostensible mission of this mission is to express New Year greetings to Queen Seweni on behalf of His Majesty the noble emperor of the Candela Empire, and at the same time bring a series of cooperation agreements proposed by the Candela Empire against the Lampari Kingdom.

From the surface, it is not uncommon for such a mission to be sent by the Kandela Empire every year.

Because there has been formal contact between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire, the exchanges between the two sides are relatively close. In addition to maintaining normal contact between the two sides, the specific purpose of sending a mission is for some trade exchanges between the two countries.

In the past, the missions sent by the Candela Empire every year would bring some chambers of commerce within the Candela Empire. Come over and reach a partial trade agreement with the Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari. It can also be regarded as a means of strengthening the relationship between the two parties.

Just before that. Because the strength of the Candela Empire is much stronger than that of the Lampari Kingdom, the sending of missions is only in the form, purely to express an attitude. In essence, there are not many real interactive trade exchanges between the two sides. The Candela Empire Chamber of Commerce that the group came to the Lampari Kingdom are all small chambers of commerce that are not well-known in the Candela Empire.

But this year is completely different.

This time, the mission sent by the Candela Empire is not only much larger than in previous years, but also has a much higher standard.

In the past, the head of the mission was usually just an official randomly sent by the Candela Empire, with representatives of no more than ten small chambers of commerce. It's just running over to reach some trivial trade agreements with the Kingdom of Lampari.

This time, however, the mission was led by Marquis Descartes, Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire, and several well-known chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire, including the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, followed the mission. The representative of the largest chamber of commerce is unprecedented in scale.

Because before the mission came, the ambassador of the Candela Empire to the Kingdom of Lampari had notified in advance, so although Sevini was a little surprised, he was already prepared to host a banquet in the palace to entertain the mission.

The banquet was full of joy and peace, but wait until after the banquet. Marquis Descartes, head of the Candela Empire mission, seemed a little sparky in his one-on-one meeting with Sevigny.

"Your Majesty, this is the goodwill expressed by the empire to your country, why are you unwilling to accept it?" Marquis Descartes asked in a deep voice.

Seviny narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to sneer.

The Marquis of Descartes was more polite when he first had a meeting with him, but when he talked about specific matters, he immediately showed his unique condescending face from the Candela Empire, and his tone was full of orders , as if what he said is a matter of course, and others must obey it.

Of course, if his suggestion is beneficial to the Kingdom of Lampari, Sevini doesn't bother to care about his tone, but this guy proposed to Sevini on behalf of the Commerce Department of the Candela Empire, asking the Kingdom of Lampari to fully open Lanpari to the Empire. How could Seweini agree to the technology related to magic machinery currently mastered by the Kingdom of Pali.

Although the Marquis of Descartes also stated that the Candela Empire will give the Lampari Kingdom corresponding compensation, such as establishing an alliance with the Lampari Kingdom to ensure the leadership of the Lampari Kingdom in the southwestern corner of the Sainz continent...

At the same time, he also assured Sevigny a series of concrete benefits.

For example, the Candela Empire will expand its trade channels to the Lampari Kingdom. Specifically, it will allow more products from the Lampari Kingdom to enter the Candela Empire, and will control most of the products, especially all magic machinery related products. tax relief.

For example, the Candela Empire will fully open up domestic commodity exports to the Lampari Kingdom. The Candela Empire is more abundant than before, and the Candela Empire will also actively reduce prices for certain commodities that the Lampari Kingdom urgently needs, and guarantee Priority supply to Lampari Kingdom and so on...

If it was in the past, the Lampari Kingdom, a small country that was insignificant on the entire continent, could actually get the attention of the Candela Empire, one of the two largest empires on the continent, and give them so much support and preferential policies, then they would be very happy to accept.

Especially in the past, the Kingdom of Lampari had been suppressed by the Kingdom of Sark. If it could be publicly recognized as an ally by the Candela Empire, it would be equivalent to obtaining the best amulet to ensure that the Kingdom of Sark would never dare to be presumptuous again.

But for the current Lampari Kingdom... Not only are these conditions unattractive, but Sevini can easily judge that the purpose of the Candela Empire is all kinds of magic in the current Lampari Kingdom. Mechanically.

There is almost no benefit in this way, but it is very likely to cause great damage to the magic industrial system in the kingdom of Lampari, how could Seweney agree to it.

However, when Sevigny expressed the need for serious consideration, which was actually a tactful refusal, the Marquis Descartes showed an unbelievable look, as if Sevigny's refusal to agree to these conditions was simply incomprehensible.

Seviny was silent for a moment, and replied calmly: "Marquis Descartes, I am very grateful to the Kendela Empire for showing such kindness to us. But regarding your request that we transfer all technologies related to magic machinery to the Candela Empire. Sorry it can't be done."

"Why?" Marquis Descartes asked with a frown. "Aren't these things a matter of your Majesty the Queen's words? Or is it that you can't even control these small chambers of commerce in your own country?"

Marquis Descartes said this very bluntly. He was almost directly expressing doubts about Sevigny's control over the Kingdom of Lampari.

"Marquis Descartes, as the Minister of Commerce of the Candela Empire, do you mean that the officials of the Candela Empire can handle all the chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire as you please?" Seweney snorted softly. He let out a sigh, and said unceremoniously: "If this is the case, then I really want to express my deep sympathy to the major chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire."

Marquis Descartes was slightly taken aback, knowing that what he said just now was indeed a little rash, but he didn't intend to shrink back because of this. Staring into Seweney's eyes, he continued to ask: "Your Majesty, I believe that as long as you are willing, these are not a problem."

"No, as I said just now, this is not something I can decide." Seweini waved his hand. "The core technology of the magic machinery you mentioned is in the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The magic machinery-related chambers of commerce in our Lampali Kingdom have only obtained authorization from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Strictly speaking, they have no Any power to transfer these technologies out."

Marquis Descartes frowned: "Since they have mastered these technologies, what can't be transferred? Can the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce do anything to them?"

Seviny finally couldn't help but sneered slightly: "Marquis Descartes, have you heard of the word patent?"

"Patent?" Marquis Descartes thought for a moment. Shake your head slowly. "What does it mean?"

Sevini roughly explained the role of the patents to him, and then added: "These patents have passed the certification of the headquarters of the Magician's Union, so they are protected by the Magician's Union. If any chamber of commerce violates the use of patents, it will be protected by the Magician's Union." Punishment from headquarters."

Hearing that these so-called "patents" were actually related to the headquarters of the Magician's Union, Marquis Descartes couldn't help frowning.

The Candela Empire is one of the two major empires in the Sains Continent. Apart from the Maro Empire, the only thing that can make it scruples is the Mage Union, which spreads all over the Sains Continent. , has influence on all magicians on the entire continent.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Candela Empire will not directly challenge the authority of the Magicians Union, which is of no benefit.

Seeing that Marquis Descartes seemed to be in a dilemma, Sevigny smiled slightly and suggested: "Marquis Descartes, if the Candela Empire is really interested in the technology related to magic machinery, why not directly discuss it with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

"this……"

Marquis Descartes couldn't help showing a wry smile.

If possible, why would he not want to go directly to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss.

However, information from various sources shows that it was the military magic machinery secretly provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Luerson Kingdom that led to the failure of the Candela Empire. Immediately sentenced to death.

The Candela Empire is discussing how to deal with this damn Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so how could it be possible to go to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to discuss cooperation matters.

This time he personally led the mission to discuss cooperation with the Kingdom of Lampari in the field of magic machinery, and even obtained a lot of preferential terms for the Kingdom of Lampari from the Imperial Council before departure, in order to obtain the Kingdom of Lampari through other channels. Knowledge of magical machines.

Of course, it would be best to obtain more information about military magic machinery to facilitate future actions of the empire.

However, the Lampari Kingdom did not cooperate at all, which made him very embarrassed.

However, this attitude of the Kingdom of Lampari is not quite beyond his expectations, because this was reflected when the Kingdom of Kandela asked the Kingdom of Lampari to stop sending supplies to the Kingdom of Rulson but was rejected. .

Marquis Descartes looked at the smiling Queen Sevigny and sighed softly in his heart.

"It looks like... we still have to adopt the No. 2 plan..." (to be continued...)
