Chapter 473 Arrival at the Federation
When Hamadi heard Ryan's agreement, even if he tried his best to hide it, the smile in the corner of his eyes revealed that he was not as calm as his face. He hurriedly said:
"Mr. Ryan, please go ahead. As long as it does not violate the principle, I can guarantee that there will be no problem."
"Oh? That's great." Ryan smiled slightly and nodded.
"I went to the Eagle Federation this time to learn more about the situation in the Federation, so I want to walk around the Federation more freely."
Ryan paused for a moment.
Hamadi's face was serious, and he said: "Mr. Ryan, what do you mean by more freedom?"
As a secret agent, he was still very worried about the words "walking around".
"Mr. Hamadi, please rest assured that I will not go to the confidential military department of the Federation, but I want to learn about the local customs and get to know more cities."
Ryan naturally understood the key point of Hamadi's concern and explained with a smile.
"That should be no problem, Mr. Ryan." Hamadi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
He planned to report the matter immediately.
After watching Hamadi leave, Ryan took out a map from the side.
The purpose of the conversation with Hamadi just now was naturally because Ryan wanted to investigate the situation of the ruins of the Goblin Empire's capital.
After so many years, he wanted to investigate whether the ruins had been excavated or not yet excavated by the Federation.
Moreover, it was not suitable for the Sword Bearer to intervene in the investigation of this matter.
But even diplomats with immunity could not walk around in the territory of other countries at will, and Ryan needed such a privilege.
Now it seems that there should be no problem.
The map in front of him was a map of the entire Federation that Olena brought for him from the Sword Bearer headquarters.
Since the Federation has a large number of spies in the Empire, naturally, as an Empire, it also has a lot of eyes and ears in the Federation.
Ryan pointed to a place on the map and said softly:
"It should be here."
Looking in the direction of Ryan's finger, you can see that it is near a place called Reserrod Canyon.
Ryan was basically sure that the location of the ruins of the Goblin Empire's capital should be on one side of the Reserlo Canyon.
Coincidentally, not far from the Reserlo Canyon, there is a large federal city called Zetaya.
"That's good. We can go to Zetaya in the name of sightseeing."
"I don't know if they will pass by here at that time."
Ryan is not very clear about the Empire's return visit route, but he can ask in advance.
In the next day and a half, Ryan did not arrange too much official business, but chose to accompany his family.
The beautiful woman Jennifer and the barbarian girl Lagre were still busy with the Chamber of Commerce in Munster, not in the Imperial Capital.
However, Jennifer did send a letter to report the recent developments of the Chamber of Commerce and that she had begun to prepare for a new store in the Imperial Capital.
Claire was also not in the Imperial Capital. She followed the instructor of the Royal Academy to the Nome Province for training.
Two days later in the morning.
The Royal Airship berth in the Imperial Capital.
A group of people were seeing off a huge streamlined airship as it took off, and there were three long-distance airships guarding the front and back of the airship.
A total of seven airships formed an airship formation and headed eastward quickly.
On the airship.
In a luxurious cabin, Ryan was looking at the latest itinerary.
Due to the need for confidentiality, even Ryan had just received the itinerary.
"First go to Westin, a big city on the west coast of the Federation, and then go to Antuhor, the capital of the Federation."
"Hey, the last stop happens to be Zetaia, which is more convenient."
"It's just that this return visit is a bit unusual." Ryan thought.
Because Ryan found that in addition to the 'Red Queen' Menia, 'Earth Pulse' Reginald, who he met last time, also joined the delegation.
This also means that, including him, the Empire's delegation this time has three epic-level combatants.
When the major cults are quite active in the Empire's territory, it is a bit unreasonable to arrange three epic-level combatants in a delegation.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the cabin.
"Lord Ryan, Her Highness Menia asks you to come over." The attendant outside the door bowed.
"Okay!"
Soon, Ryan followed the attendant to the cabin of the head of the delegation, the 'Red Queen' Menia.
The door was open, and Menia, dressed in a red wizard robe, was sitting sideways next to the porthole, looking at the scenery outside the window.
As if hearing footsteps, Menia turned her head to look at Ryan, smiled and nodded, and said, "Ryan, I'm here, sit down."
"Your Highness Menia." Ryan bowed slightly and said.
"This is mead from Anweimar, you try it, the flavor is very unique." Menia pointed to the amber wine on the coffee table and said.
"Well, thank you!" Ryan took a sip.
Sure enough, a mellow aroma of honey mixed with a refreshing taste of some kind of fruit lingered in Ryan's mouth.
"Ryan, do you still remember the three-headed sea dragon with the devil's tail?"
"Of course, the first thing I remember was that you repelled the three-headed sea dragon."
Ryan was in Meister at the time and was naturally impressed by the three-headed sea dragon with the devil's tail.
"Well, about three days later, after we arrive at Westin on the west coast of the Federation, we will cooperate with the Federation to kill the other party together."
Hearing Menia's words, Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, quite surprised.
"Your Highness Menia, do you mean that we should first go to Westin, a large city in the Federation, to meet up with the welcoming team, and then go to the west coast of the Federation to wipe out the three-headed sea dragon?"
Originally, he thought it was just a simple return visit.
Now it seems that the purpose of this return visit by the Empire does not seem to be simple, or in other words, the significance of this return visit is more important than he expected.
"Yes, although we have repelled the harassment of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon on the coast of the Empire many times, the other party relied on the convenient terrain of the sea and escaped successfully every time." "
After this period of time, the strength of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon has gradually recovered. Now it has also learned to be smart, and it attacks the east coast of the Empire and the west coast of the Federation in turn."
"This poses a great threat to both us and the Federation, so this time we will unite to completely kill the other party. In a sense, this is also the first substantive cooperation between the Empire and the Federation."
"I see." Ryan looked enlightened.
Before, he was still wondering why the Empire would let Her Highness the Red Queen Menia as the head of the delegation to the Federation.
Because even if it was a return visit, the level was too high.
Now it seems that this is the reason.
This mission is not just a return visit, but has a more far-reaching cooperative significance.
Recalling what Hamadi said before, the increasingly severe environment began to force the two most powerful countries to cooperate.
"By the way, Ryan, you are also a fourth-level dawn wizard now." Menia looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes and said.
"Yes, Your Highness Menia." Ryan nodded.
There is no need to hide this, and it cannot be hidden.
"Well, in the battle against the three-headed sea dragon with a demon tail, try not to use your blood transformation. I have suppressed the matter of the two-headed dragon in the last Ferdinand Forest incident."
"Well?"
Ryan couldn't help but look at Menia in surprise.
"What do you mean?" Ryan asked back.
"Some of the inside stories are more complicated. You just need to remember this point. Try not to use the two-headed dragon transformation, especially in front of the imperial family." Menia looked at Ryan deeply and said no more.
"Okay." Ryan nodded.
Ryan could naturally feel that the 'Red Queen' Menia had no hostility towards him.
In fact, from what the other party said just now, it is not difficult to hear that Menia seemed to take care of him to some extent.
"Don't do it in front of the imperial family?"
Ryan chewed on this sentence in his heart and immediately guessed.
"It seems that it should be related to a secret of the imperial family."
A quarter of an hour later.
Ryan said goodbye and returned to his cabin.
Soon, he shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being.
Since Menia reminded him so, he should try not to perform the two-headed dragon transformation in front of everyone.
In fact, for the current Ryan, since he has mastered the Dawn's killer move 'Iron Forest', even if he does not transform, the difference in combat power is not big.
This is also the meaning of the Dawn's killer move!
"However, as attribute points, it is better to save as much as possible."
"Whether it is used to restore mental strength or physical strength, it is a must for battle." Ryan thought to himself.
Ryan came to the desk.
On the desk, there were all kinds of leather-making raw materials.
Before this, Ryan took into account that the journey to the Federation would take a long time, so he brought a lot of leather-making materials in advance.
Taking advantage of the free time on the road, he can just upgrade the professional level of the leather-making master, and then when it is almost level 10, he can change his job to the elf leather-making.
Since Ryan's leather-making master professional level has reached level 7, the experience points provided by the moonlight coat are not enough to upgrade quickly, so Ryan will try a new leather breastplate.
This leather breastplate called the Thornwood Coat, like the Moonlight Coat, is also a leather armor commonly used by druids.
But in terms of utility, it is more advanced than the Moonlight Coat. In addition to being easier to hide in the jungle, it also has a protective effect similar to the Thornwood Shield. The raw materials required are one Thornwood bark, one Bloodvine, and four mature furs.
Of course, there are some other gadgets, such as tendons, etc.
But materials are not a problem. Before Ryan left Ferdinand Forest, the elves prepared sufficient raw materials for him.
Ten minutes later, the system prompt sounded:
[You have made a Thornwood Coat, and the relevant comprehension has been improved! ]
[You have comprehended a new skill - making a Thornwood Coat]
[Your skill in making a Thornwood Coat has been improved, and the experience value is +12]
[You have successfully made a Thornwood Coat, and the leather master professional experience value is +10]
Just after the Imperial Airship Formation set off.
Antuhor, the capital of the Eagle Federation.
In front of a huge, ten-story building with a pointed roof, people dressed in white coats and dressed like researchers were coming in and out.
On the doorplate in front of the door, there were a few large gold-plated characters "Eagle Federal Mechanical Research Institute".
In an office on the top floor, the decoration was simple, with only a few green potted plants on the dark red coffee table as embellishment, which seemed to fit the old-fashioned and simple impression of researchers.
However, behind the dark desk, it was not a bald middle-aged man, but a young woman in a white coat.
The other party had wavy blonde hair, beautiful appearance, and was probably in her early twenties. She was carefully reading a thick file.
"Knock, knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." "
Ms. Rebecca, the diplomatic department said that the delegation from the Dragun Empire has set off. Should we also prepare to set off?" A young woman in a short suit and a hip skirt asked.
"No hurry. Normally, they need three days to reach the west coast. But we have enough time to go there." Rebecca said without raising her head.
"Okay! By the way, Lady Rebecca, the intelligence department said that the key person to be won over by the Dragun Empire, Ryan, will also come."
"The intelligence department hopes that we can communicate more with the other party. If we can make the other party interested in our research and stay, it will be great."
"Huh?"
As if she heard an interesting topic, Rebecca immediately put down the information in her hand and raised her beautiful eyes to look at her secretary.
As the top genius institute of the Federation, and as a genius metal wizard in the early stage of level three crystallization, Rebecca Hayden knows the significance of a high-level metal wizard to the Federal Mechanical Research Institute.
Especially this person, she had heard about it from her mother a long time ago.
"This is good news."
"By the way, the mission of our institute this time is to transfer the newly developed 'Ajax' to actual combat, right?"
"Yes, Lady Rebecca."
"Let the others get ready. We will set off in an hour."
After three days of sailing and crossing the vast summer sea, the imperial delegation finally arrived over the federal city of Westin in the early morning of the third day.
At this time, Ryan also walked out of the cabin and came to the side of the airship, looking at the scene in front of him.
Compared with most of the county and provincial capitals of the Dragun Empire, which are in the Middle Ages, Ryan feels that the Westin in front of him has almost entered the industrial revolution.
There are many buildings in the city ahead, and there are more large chimneys.
At this moment, the chimneys are emitting bursts of black smoke, casting a dark and slightly depressing veil over the entire city.
Looking down along the chimneys, there are factories that occupy a large area, and with Ryan's eyesight, he can naturally see clearly that early in the morning, there are a large number of workers in simple and shabby clothes, going in and out of the factories.
As for the central area of the city.
Although the four-wheeled carriages are still the main vehicles among the bustling crowds on the streets, Ryan can already see that on some main roads, there seems to be a kind of transportation similar to buses pulled by steam engines.
"Look over there, is this steam power?"
At this moment, many people gathered on both sides of the airship, and many people also saw the steam-powered locomotive.
"Well, it should be, and the ships on the river seem to be the same."
"That's right!"
On the river that winds through the center of the city, you can also clearly see steam ships coming and going, and their number accounts for a large proportion.
Although there are large energy furnaces in the empire, their number is very small, and the steam power of the Federation has almost been fully rolled out and applied to all aspects of people's daily lives.
The impact of this scene on the people of the empire is naturally unparalleled.
