"Beatrice, how can you be jealous of a sword?"

Beatrice shook her head in denial: "I just think this sword is not very decent."

"Oh, yes, yes, then I won't kiss it next time."

Just as he said this, someone knocked on the door outside the carriage: "Your Highness, prepare to start the transmission."

The person who spoke was Qian.

Qian is indeed a qualified secretary, the kind that makes Louis attracted to her.

Sometimes he thought that if he could borrow this guy from Beatrice, it would be much easier for him to deal with matters related to the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

After all, Qian is really useful.

He just couldn't help but recall the scene of seeing Qian in front of the cemetery that day.

He had asked about William.

William said that the reason he knew Mentor Roger was because of Qian.

As fellow Iron Guards, they are quite familiar with each other.

William described her as "a steel warrior who is extremely harsh on herself."

Although she served as Beatrice's close guard most of the time, she was just an ordinary lady-in-waiting.

At least from Louis's perspective, it was difficult to sense a strong threat from this female official.

But this doesn't mean she is weak.

On the contrary, she was too strong, strong enough to hide her own aura.

This is a lioness hiding in a dark corner and guarding silently.

If anyone dares to let their guard down, she will bite off their throat the next moment.

It takes time to prepare the teleportation array.

To be precise, it takes time to use it on a main material continent like the Star Continent.

Louis had discussed this with Olivia.

It is said that outside the main material world, space teleportation is not that difficult.

There are even quite a few Exemplar-level characters that can perform space tearing and random teleportation operations.

But it doesn’t work on the main material continent.

The space of the main material continent is like a mass of constantly changing mud.

Every time you try to open a channel in the mud, the influx of mud will fill the channel again.

——Although it is still possible to build a passage in the mud, it is indeed much more difficult.

Of course, there is another reason.

The country on the other side of the teleportation array needs to determine the identity of these people in advance.

Beatrice was telling Louis about some "teleportation array jokes" that had happened in the past.

For example, more than 5,000 years ago, when the continental teleportation array first appeared, the Republic of Tunisia and the Rockshi Empire opened teleportation arrays between each other.

In that era, there was no such thing as reviewers in the teleportation array.

As a result, on the day when the teleportation arrays were connected, the Rockhi Empire directly sent a group of assassins to behead the head of the Republic of Tunisia.

The impact of this incident was very bad.

As a result, the Rockhi Empire directly declared war on Tunisia.

What? You ask why it wasn't Tunisia that declared war on Roxy?

It's very simple, because Tunisia also sent a group of assassins to behead the emperor of the Rockhi Empire at that time.

It's fucking hell.

To some extent, the ideas of these old Bidens are too martial.

It can even be said that there is a bit of excess.

Anything can be turned into war.

"No wonder everyone is so cautious when using such a convenient technology as the teleportation array."

Louis couldn't help but sigh.

Qian smiled and said, "That's because you don't know what those people have done."

Louis looked at Qian, as if he was listening attentively.

Qian didn't act as a riddler, and said directly:

"After the personnel clearance review system was introduced, the mainland teleportation array underwent a new round of revisions."

"Both parties have added a requirement that the other party must approve the transfer before the person can get from one party to the other."

"The first to promote this operation was the Sage Council. They always like to spread some practical technologies to the whole world."

"But they haven't considered the potential safety risks these technologies may bring."

Louis was puzzled: "Isn't it a good thing to add an audit system? Why is there a safety hazard?"

Qian snorted and said:

"At that time, through the teleportation array, it was necessary to obtain approval from the core of both countries before being teleported."

"But this means that if the teleportation array is to be opened, tacit cooperation between the two countries is required."

"For example, if Kingdom A agrees to the teleportation request and Kingdom B agrees to the landing request, then the person being teleported can be guaranteed to arrive safely."

"However, a war broke out between Forge Castle and Hidden Forest because of this."

"It is said that when the next generation of the heirs of the Hidden Forest were teleported to Forge Castle, Forge Castle suddenly unilaterally cut off the coordinates of their landing point."

"So the unlucky Elf Prince who was in the process of space teleportation lost the teleportation coordinates and got lost in the space storm."

Hiss! Louis felt his fists harden.

It's just like driving your car into the bay. Staying in the car would be chronic suicide, but you can't swim if you get out of the car.

It’s so despairing just thinking about it.

"How did you deal with it later?" he asked curiously.

Qian shook her head and said:

"It took a long time to develop into the current teleportation array transfer mode."

"We will first pass the approval of our country and then be transferred to the outer realm for transit."

"Then the moment the other party passed the approval, there was no time interval and it landed instantly."

"In this way, even if the other party unilaterally cancels the approval, we who initiated the transmission can rely on the coordinates of the transit plane to pull us back to our homeland."

Black, really black!

Where has the trust between people gone?

Your mainland style is here! Dark, too dark!

Louis thought for a moment and then said:

"Could it be that our actual destination is not in the capital of Tunisia, but in the outer circle of Tunisia?"

"Yes."

"I'm afraid it's not because the outskirts are important military cities, and if someone causes trouble, people in the city will come and shoot you, right?"

Beatrice, Olivia, and Akane all laughed when she said this.

"Congratulations on your correct guess."

Louis: ...

What else can I say? Just a 6!

I thought this teleportation array was for airplane takeoff and landing.

As a result, they tell you that if you dare to fly, they will bomb your plane directly.

Later he thought that a security checkpoint had been installed.

But they tell you what the security checkpoint is. Just go through customs and be screened before entering.

What’s even worse is that when you go through customs inspection, there will be someone next to you holding an RPG pointing at you.

If you take any more action, RPG will hit you in the face.

Even if they were teleported to Tunisia, they would still need to start from the border and it would take a long time to reach the capital of Tunisia.

So a technology that, in theory, should benefit the country and the people, ended up being a long and tedious thing.

But everyone can only accept it with a pinch of their nose.

no way.

If procedural justice is not enforced, it will be fine if nothing goes wrong, but if something does go wrong it will be a big deal.

…

The approval process in Tunisia is really long and tedious.

It gives Louis a kind of abstract beauty of the time when he had to run to multiple departments to get leaders’ signatures to claim travel expenses at the company.

——The main focus is on manually persuading employees to reimburse.

But no matter what, it finally landed.

Sitting in the carriage, feeling the carriage start to move, Louis first opened the window to look at the scene outside.

Seeing his curious expression, the first wife explained to him:

"This is one of the several major transit cities on the Tunisian border, a city of steel."

"This place is rich in steel and has a large number of troops stationed here, making it a natural military fortress."

Louis looked at the city wall that reached into the sky in the distance.

He once again fully realized that the Star Continent was indeed not the backward Middle Ages.

My god, the walls of this military fortress are even more exaggerated than the Wall Maria that Allen the Joker once wanted to take back.

The Maria Wall is only about fifty meters high, and at first glance it seems to be as tall as A Guang’s Baiyun Hotel (120 meters).

A 120-meter-wide circle of Baiyun Hotel protects the entire Steel City.

Such a building would have been an extremely huge project even in the previous life.

Louis dared to swear on his seventh great uncle's leather boots that this city wall was built to defend against the despicable outsiders coming out of the teleportation array.

——Yes, it is me.

What kind of painful lesson did these countries experience to develop such a huge fear of insufficient firepower? Is this a world where personal force is dominant? In the past, if the customs blocked firearms, there would basically not be too many external threats.

After all, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife, and no matter how well you practice, you can be knocked down by one gun.

Without hot weapons, the possibility of outsiders turning the area into Gotham City plummeted.

But in the stars, you can't let others castrate your extraordinary power, right? If you dare to touch it, others will kill your horse.

When the carriage arrived at the foot of the wall of the Steel City, he looked up at the mountain-like giant and did not lower the window until he left the city wall.

He looked at his first wife and said, "Beatrice, is it the same at our Enther border?"

Beatrice shook her head.

"That's right, this is right..."

"Enser's border teleportation array is located in the cave city more than 200 meters underground. There are nearly 200 forbidden magic gates at the intersection leading to the ground."

Louis: ...

What else could he say? No wonder the good citizens of Tino had a lukewarm reaction to the underground ruins in the outer city.

If this place were lost in its previous life, it would have been a popular local tourist attraction.

But compared with the scale of the Catacombs City, Karami is probably a bit too small.

Beatrice rarely saw her own prince like this:

"You are so startled now, but you have regained some of the temperament you should have at your age."

Louis shook his head and said, "Did I behave badly before?"

Beatrice said, "It's not that you're bad at speaking, it's that you're too steady. You're too steady to be someone your age."

Louis wondered if this was based on the vision from his previous life?

But he still glanced at his first wife and said curiously:

"Which one do you like?"

Beatrice shook her head.

Louis was surprised: "You don't like any of them?"

The first wife immediately waved her hands and said "No".

She smiled calmly:

"Whether you are the steady one or the eccentric one, it makes no difference to me."

"I just like you, so isn't it natural for me to accept everything about you?"

Qian on the side quietly turned her head away.

Oh no, seeing the CP's affection soaring, her nose was about to bleed.

The little swan was in tears.

Sister Wang, this is still on the way! Have you already started the honeymoon mode? 　I should be able to write nearly 12,000 words today, and the rest should be posted before 20:00.
