Louis asked curiously, "What effect does that painting have?"

Beatrice says:

"Don't tell anyone else about this news. 'Snow Country Border' depicts the winter scenery of Byron Territory."

"The snow-covered city has resisted the invasion of foreign monsters for many years."

"It is said that Ms. Xilin's husband had been protecting Byron Territory during his lifetime. Ms. Xilin, who missed her husband, drew the wall of Byron Territory."

Louis nodded.

If it was Ms. Xilin's painting, then "Snow Country Border" could not directly create a wall? Sure enough, the next second Beatrice said:

"The walls of Snow Country Border can be summoned through special methods."

"And because the wall summoned is not a real wall, but a wall in the painting, this brings the power of Ms. Xilin's genius disease to a new level, which is..."

Before Beatrice could open her mouth, Louis thought of a possibility.

Louis holds the painting "Door in the Picture"

The characteristic of "Door in the Painting" is that one can directly open a passage connecting two areas through the painting.

When Louis passed through the door, he discovered that the door in the painting corresponded to the door in reality, which was exactly the same as the door in the painting "Door in the Painting".

Some people may think this is normal.

But if you think about it, this painting was produced over a hundred years ago.

A door that was built over a hundred years ago is still good enough to be opened today.

Not to mention the door, a building that has been left there for more than a hundred years will become a dangerous building.

During this process, even if the building is repeatedly maintained, it is normal to replace the door more than a dozen times.

Theoretically speaking, the door in "Door in the Painting" should be different from the doors in reality.

But something strange happened.

The door in "The Door in the Painting" has been around for more than a hundred years, but it is still no different from the doors in reality.

This does not mean that the door has any hidden power in reality.

Louis confirmed it when he crossed into another house, and it was just an ordinary house.

So what really changed was...

In fact, it should be the content of "The Door in the Painting".

Genius disease has endowed Ms. Celine with a miracle that is almost like creation. The paintings she draws are like a dynamic movie, which can be "constantly updated" with the passage of time.

This is the truth why the door in "The Door in the Painting" is exactly the same as the door in reality.

So, if "Snow Country Border" is like "The Door in the Painting", it also has the ability to be constantly updated as time goes by.

The content depicted in "Snow Country Border" should be the current scene of the border wall of Byron Territory.

The city walls it summoned were no different from the city walls in reality.

So here comes the question…

The summoned city walls are the same as the real city walls.

If someone attacks the summoned wall, will it be destroyed? Beatrice saw Louis lost in thought, and said with a smile:

"It seems that you have figured out the problem."

"In theory, the wall summoned by the painting must be the same as the border wall of Byron Territory in reality."

"But if the summoned city wall is damaged by external forces, even if it is only slightly damaged, the content of the painting will be inconsistent with the reality."

"What would Snow Border do in this situation?"

"The answer is of course... to make the summoned city wall consistent with the real city wall!"

Louis gasped.

Although he had vaguely guessed that there was such a possibility, he still found it incredible when he heard the news from Beatrice.

"In other words, as long as the border wall of Byron Territory in reality is not damaged, then if I use the Snow Country Border to summon a wall somewhere else, the enemy won't be able to even break through the wall?"

It's like turning a game bug into a game feature.

This is outrageous.

Beatrice coughed and said:

"Basically, as long as the walls of Byron Territory in reality are not damaged by surprise attacks, the walls summoned by Snow Country Border will be as immovable as a mountain."

"… provided that the opponent's strength does not exceed the upper limit of Ms. Xilin's strength."

Louis was really shocked.

When art has actual tactical value, then art is a living weapon itself.

Xilin used her famous paintings to tell others time and time again that she is indeed the strongest painter in the new millennium.

This thing, at a critical moment, is comparable to a national treasure.

Anyway, based on the situation of genius disease that Mentor Merlin mentioned, he didn't think that anyone below the level of demigod could suppress the fragments of the Goddess of Beauty's divinity.

No wonder Beatrice was alerted and went to the capital of art.

This kind of strategic weapon cannot fall into the hands of other countries even if we do not use it ourselves.

But he hesitated and said:

"That's not right. This kind of treasure has been around for more than a hundred years. Why is it still ownerless?"

Based on what Beatrice told him about the characteristics of "Snow Country Border", he was sure that any country that obtained this thing would not allow it to enter the market, let alone auction it, as long as it did not destroy the country.

Beatrice chuckled and said:

"Is that because they don't know that this thing can be used like this?"

"No idea?" Louis was surprised. "Based on what I know about Ms. Xilin's status, everyone who gets this painting will study how to use it, right?"

Beatrice says:

"This is where Ms. Xilin's cleverness comes in. After all, she is from our Enser people. With her intelligence, how could she not have thought of the terrible impact that would be caused if this painting fell into the hands of others?"

“So she had put several restrictions on the painting long before Snow Country Border was created.”

Louis was shocked: "Can this be restricted?"

Beatrice nodded: "The place where "Snow Country Border" takes effect must be within the territory of the Enther Empire. This is the first restriction."

"The only ones who can summon out of the city wall are Lady Sirin, her husband, her and her husband's descendants, and members of the Unther royal family. This is the second restriction."

"Ms. Xilin secretly sent the instructions for using Snow Country Border to the Imperial Palace many years ago."

"Few people know about this. We wanted to get this painting back a hundred years ago."

"But Ms. Xilin passed away very suddenly. By the time we learned the news, most of her posthumous works had already been snatched away by ambitious people."

"Among them is this precious "Snow Country Border"."

"The royal family hid this news for nearly a hundred years, and during this time they had been planning to bring the national treasure home, but because Ms. Xilin's paintings were valued by so many people, they were unable to bring them back."

"Until a while ago, the Am Empire, which collected the painting, had never been able to test the usefulness of the painting, so they agreed to auction it off at a high price."

Louis was shocked.

Just by listening to Beatrice's casual words about this national treasure's journey home, one can guess how much gambling is hidden in it.

Louis thought for a moment and said:

"In this way, I can draw a batch of cash flow to prevent any problems during the auction process."

Beatrice smiled and said, "Are you worried that someone might snipe at us at the auction?"

"Snow Country Border cannot afford to fail. It has been a hundred years. Even if the royal family has kept the news secret, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes."

Beatrice nodded. "I have allocated 1 million gold coins. This price has surpassed the price of any of Ms. Xilin's works on the market."

Louis shook his head and said, "Although I don't know the prices of Ms. Xilin's other paintings, if the effect of "Snow Country Border" is known to outsiders, I definitely don't mind spending 1 million gold coins to buy it."

Beatrice thought it made sense, but she sighed and said:

"In this case, I'm afraid you'll have to make the first move."

Louis quickly understood what Beatrice meant.

1 gold coin = 10,000 copper coins.

The purchasing power of 1 copper coin is not much different from RMB in the previous life.

In other words, in order to purchase this painting, the Enser royal family directly mobilized cash flow equivalent to 10 billion RMB.

This is not a small amount.

The point is…

"Is this transfer in the name of the royal family, not the Enther Empire?"

Beatrice nodded. "In the name of the royal family, we are using our own treasury. In the name of the empire, we are using the national treasury."

"Using the national treasury would make too much noise, and it would be difficult to conceal it from outsiders."

"If the outside world knew about this, with the keen nerves of the merchants in the Am Empire, they would definitely realize that the Snow Country Border still has potential value, and the Unther royal family can make use of it."

"If it turns out to be the worst case scenario, it's okay to spend more money. The Enther Empire has money."

"I'm afraid..."

Louis sighed.

I’m just afraid that the Amn Empire will just slap its forehead and say “I won’t sell it anymore”.

This would cause big problems for the empire's century-long layout.

Louis thought for a moment and said, "No, we can't be led astray by the Am Empire and the potential risks that may exist. Beatrice, let the Meyer Chamber of Commerce purchase the Snow Country Border this time."

Beatrice was stunned for a moment: "Is this okay?"

Louis said: "I created the Meyer Chamber of Commerce to prevent risks in the beginning."

"This is the situation right now where the Meyer Chamber of Commerce comes into play."

Louis smiled and said, "And for the Mayer Chamber of Commerce, it does need some means to tell our allies that in terms of cash flow, the Mayer Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of any chamber of commerce."

As he said this, ideas popped up one after another in his mind.

He added:

“It is precisely time to further expand the profile of Mayer Morgan Rockefeller.”

"Recently, the Chamber of Commerce has encountered a bottleneck period, or rather... because of the rapid expansion, I don't have enough liquidity."

Beatrice scolded:

"You don't have enough liquidity, and you still want to get involved in this?"

Louis laughed:

"It is because of insufficient liquidity that we must give investors confidence!"

"The more we need money, the more we need to show the outside world that Mayer is fearless. Otherwise, how can we scare off those jackals and tigers?"

He blinked and said:

"Besides, this money didn't really flow away from the Meyer Chamber of Commerce."

To the outside world, Meyer is a top-notch businessman in the Enser Empire.

Using astonishing financial resources to purchase "Snow Country Border" and then "paying tribute" to the Enser royal family is more in line with other people's definition of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, it would be pure capitalism, reaping so many dividends from the empire without paying much price, which does not meet the prerequisites for reaping the dividends.

No country would allow such a huge amount of money to be made without paying any price.

You know, whether in Tunisia or the Am Empire, the Mayer Chamber of Commerce has to shoulder the burden of building the local industrial chain when it enters the industry.

Even the Tower of Eternal Day, which is used as a transit station, has to cut off part of its profits and give them to the city heroes.

But the Enser Empire, which was at home, didn't have to pay any price and just took over the state-owned chamber of commerce's share? Then some people would inevitably wonder if the Meyer Chamber of Commerce had no need to control the Enser Empire at all?

For example...the real controller of the Chamber of Commerce is the top level of the empire.

Although this scam will be exposed sooner or later, at least not now.

The Meyer Chamber of Commerce still has a historical mission to remain hidden.

Accepting the protection of Prince Louis and being directly controlled by Prince Louis or even the eldest princess are not the same concept.

After thinking this through, he became completely determined to get involved in this matter.

He turned on the communicator and called his personal executive, Mr. Rom:

"Uncle Rom, I'm Mayer."

"Mr. Meyer, what can I do for you?"

"Help me withdraw 5 million gold coins of working capital. I have a new plan."

Grandpa Rom whispered, "Wait a moment."

After a moment, Luo Muye said, "It has been confirmed that this is your instruction. The relevant funds will be ready for you by tonight at the latest. Is it still your previous public account?"

Louis said, “Yes.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Louis hung up the communicator, looked at Beatrice and said:

"If you want to grab it, you can't leave the opponent any chance."

Beatrice sighed:

"This move suits you very well."

Meyer Chamber of Commerce is a one-person chamber of commerce.

Ever since Louis started acting as Mayer, the Mayer Chamber of Commerce has been forging ahead unstoppably and carving out a bloody path.

For the members of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, what is needed is not a senior executive with rich ideas.

The most important person is the one who can execute Mr. Meyer's orders to a high degree.

Although this behavior will turn the Meyer Chamber of Commerce into a one-man show where Meyer has the final say.

However, for a chamber of commerce without much historical background, what supports its rapid development is the personal charm of its senior founders.

Adopting a purely business management operation model would actually abandon the Meyer Chamber of Commerce's greatest advantage.

From this point of view, I am afraid that for quite a long time, Mr. Rom will become Louis' most useful subordinate.

With such a large amount of 5 million gold coins, if it were other executives, they would definitely ask about the purpose of the funds first.

But Lord Rom won't.

For this reason alone, he is now a perfect tool for Louis.

Thinking of this, Beatrice smiled and said, "I was worried that if you continued to expand, you might run into a problem of lack of talent, but now it seems that you can still hold on for a while."
