Chapter 160 A Bunch of Crazies
As the capital of the Candela Empire, the city of Wimbledon has always been known as the largest city in the Sainz continent, and naturally has a huge population far exceeding that of other places.
According to rough statistics, the permanent population in Wimbledon has reached 2.3 million, and the floating population, which is difficult to count, is at least more than 3 million. If they add up, they will reach an astonishing 500. More than ten thousand people.
Such a huge population figure, placed in a small country like the Lampari Kingdom, is almost equivalent to the population of an entire country.
It is precisely because of such a large population that the city of Wimbledon is almost always an extremely prosperous and lively scene, full of crowds everywhere, which is completely different from the peaceful and comfortable situation of most cities on the mainland.
As for the city of Wimbledon, the most lively area is of course the area around Candela Monarch Square in the very center of the city.
It gathers almost all the merchants and shops in Wimbledon, and also has several well-known restaurants and other entertainment venues. In addition to attracting countless nobles and nobles in Wimbledon, it can also attract a large number of families. The more superior commoners came here, looking forward to one day being able to mix with those high-ranking nobles.
Of course, if it is said that it usually accommodates the largest number of people, it is the Candela Monarch Plaza in the most central location.
The square has existed since the founding of the Candela Empire and has been rebuilt several times. It still maintains the huge area when it was first created, occupying a huge area in the city of Wimbledon.
The most recent renovation was carried out last fall, and it is said that the Amley Chamber of Commerce from the Lampali Kingdom was invited to carry out the overall renovation.
After half a year of renovation. All floors of the new Candela Regal Plaza feature a new marble finish. All kinds of flowers and plants dotted around have also become more exotic and gorgeous. There are many that people have never even heard of, and they are said to be gifts from the elves.
Among the changes in the entire square, the most noticeable thing is undoubtedly the magic square lights erected around the square.
At night, these magic square lights will emit bright but not dazzling light, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.
These magic square lights are designed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and have been welcomed by everyone.
In addition to some changes in details, there is another one that was not particularly eye-catching at first. Now it has become the most popular thing among people who come to the square, and that is the large magic phantom projection device provided and installed by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce for free.
The Crescent Chamber of Commerce not only provided this device, but also provided a large number of corresponding entertainment programs.
Among them, several phantom series that were very popular in the Kingdom of Lampari and neighboring countries were broadcast in this square, and quickly gained great popularity among the people of Wimbledon.
In just a few months, countless people in the city of Wimbledon have developed a habit of crowding into this square after dark, waiting for the illusion series of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce to start playing.
It's the same tonight, before nightfall, this huge square is already crowded with people, just glance at it. It can also be estimated that the number of people waiting in the open space in front of the large magical phantom projection device definitely exceeds 20,000.
Everyone stared at the void above the large magic phantom projection device, full of anticipation.
The magic clock hanging high above the square points the time to the beginning of the night. A light cyan light flashed immediately on the large magic phantom projection device, and then the logo of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce flashed out of the void, and after a while, it turned into the words "News Weekly".
The people sitting in the square were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
By the way, today is Sunday, and it's time for the weekly "News Weekly" of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce again.
When this "News Weekly" was first broadcast, people were not very satisfied. They felt that this program wasted their precious time watching TV dramas, but as "News Weekly" was broadcast several times, this program became more and more popular.
After all, "News Weekly" is all about major events that happened in various places on Sainz's continent. Even if these events have little to do with the vast majority of ordinary people, but support out of curiosity and gossip psychology can also make people feel happy. People watched with gusto.
This week's "News Weekly" is the same as the past several times, and the first broadcast is a few news related to the Candela Empire.
One of them is related to the actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards in the small town of Laruel in the province of Tagna a few days ago.
Prior to this, the rumors about the sudden action of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards all said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escorts acted without authorization and were not officially recognized by the Candela Empire. It could almost be considered an invasion.
Although the Elder Council and the House of Commons of the Candela Empire later issued a statement at the same time, saying that this operation was a joint operation organized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire officials after consultation, and it was not an invasion, but it was still being questioned.
Because there were too many witnesses to this operation, but they did not see any footage of the Candela Empire officials and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards cooperating with each other, naturally there would be many discordant voices.
However, in this "News Weekly", a more detailed report was made on this news. It not only revealed that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire officially reached an agreement for a joint operation to focus on combating bandits and robbers in the Candela Empire. To create a safe and stable environment within the Candela Empire, to ensure that the caravans of major chambers of commerce can travel safely, and even released some specific video materials.
The video data played out showed that the commander-in-chief of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort actually led the team to the city of Wimbledon in person, and met and talked with several generals of the Candela Empire Army. The atmosphere of the two sides was friendly and the conversation was extremely harmonious. Contradictory look.
"The Supreme Commander of the Kandela Empire Military Department, Imperial Marshal Campbell Sudirman said that through this joint operation, the Imperial Military Department has become more aware of the powerful power and the huge role that military magic machines can play, making the Imperial Military Department a kind of The high-level officials were all eye-opening. It laid a solid foundation for the future imperial military to fully refit military magic machinery and invest in the latest and most advanced combat mode. Marshal Sudirman also said that in the future, the Kandela Empire military will cooperate with The escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce continued to carry out joint operations many times to promote in-depth exchanges and discussions between the two parties."
The host of "Newsweek" made a summary of this matter in a paragraph.
After reading this piece of news, everyone in the square immediately felt that their doubts had disappeared.
You see, even the great Marshal of the Empire personally came out to prove that this operation was a joint operation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so can it be faked?
After broadcasting several domestic news items from the Candela Empire, "News Weekly" began to broadcast foreign news.
The first piece of news immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Two days ago, two large cargo magic ships of the Fifth Transport Fleet of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and eight magic frigates serving as escort missions were suddenly attacked on their way back from the Principality of Venice to the Principality of Standing. According to intelligence, this The pirates who attacked the fifth transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the first time are the same group of pirates who attacked the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce three times in a row."
The illusion suddenly flashed and turned into a scene on the vast sea.
After everyone saw this phantom, they all let out an exclamation.
Because in this illusion, there are countless light balls of various types shining with magical light flying around the sea, and at a glance, you can see that there are a large number of magicians fighting.
"The group of pirates who have repeatedly attacked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet unexpectedly has more than twenty senior magicians, as well as a great magician..."
As soon as the voice fell, the camera in the phantom suddenly zoomed in and landed on a black magic vortex condensed in midair.
Everyone was shocked again.
There are more than twenty senior magicians in a pirate group? There's even a great magician? This is so ridiculous!
However, the scenes of terrifying magic shown in the illusion fully proved that what the news said was true.
"The escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had a fierce battle with the pirates on the sea surface. In the end, they won the victory and killed the great magician, more than ten senior magicians and hundreds of pirates. In addition, Xinfei The Chamber of Commerce also captured three senior magicians and dozens of pirates."
"According to the testimonies provided by these three senior magicians and dozens of pirates, these strange pirates came from the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and the great magician named Glorfin who was killed was registered in the Magic Kingdom of Mana. One of the great magicians."
Hearing this, the audience couldn't help showing an extremely surprised expression on their faces.
It is surprising that some pirates dared to attack the fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What is even more surprising is that there are so many powerful magicians in this pirate group, which is really unreasonable.
However, the most shocking thing is that the attacked transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually won a complete victory, and even killed the great magician!
By God! That's a great magician!
The next moment, a scene played by "Newsweek" answered everyone's doubts.
This video records the general situation of the battle between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport fleet and the enemy. Originally, the two sides were still in a stalemate, attacking and defending each other, but the front of a large cargo magic ship suddenly lit up with an unusually bright light, and then an extremely thick The beam of light cut through the void, directly obliterating a pirate group in the light.
Seeing this huge beam of light that seems to fill the entire world, just looking at it can make people feel dizzy, everyone lost their voices.
Under such a terrifying attack, even a great magician would definitely be unable to resist it...
"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce CEO Kennard said that since the more than 20 senior magicians and the great magician named Groffin are all from the Magic Kingdom of Mana, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will report to Ma on this matter. Namagic Kingdom raises inquiries and reserves the right to investigate."
Hearing this passage, everyone was shocked again.
Although the Mana Magic Kingdom is not a super empire like the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, this kingdom is extremely special in the entire Sainz continent because it has the largest number of magicians.
As for why a kingdom has the most magicians...
The Mana Magic Kingdom is actually a country secretly organized by the Magician Union. It is precisely because of the support of the Magician Union that the Mana Magic Kingdom has such a terrifying number of magicians.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually wants to trouble the Magic Kingdom of Mana, that is simply a direct provocation to the Magicians Union.
This is undoubtedly a very crazy move.
However, everyone immediately thought of the move that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Magician's Union almost publicly tore apart their faces, but they didn't think it was strange.
That's right, Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is a lunatic, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a group of lunatics. (To be continued..)
