Volume 5 Chapter 4 - Using a road to connect the Candra Empire (1/2)
After around twenty minutes, the Magic Sedan carrying Kennard and ambassador Hakanin left the small town, coming to an empty space that was around ten kilometers south of that town.
There was a fence that had surrounded the large space and there were sounds that came from the distance.
Other than this circle, there was a large stretch of open land where there were all different colours of Magic Sedans, medium passenger Magic Cars, as well as various horse carriages.
Seeing these horse carriages, there was a familiar feeling that came from ambassador Hakanin’s heart.
After entering the Stantine Duchy and seeing all those things that he had never heard of before, it made him feel like he had entered another world.
Seeing these familiar horse carriages, he felt like he was still on the Sines Continent. It wasn’t that after he came down from the cliff, he had entered a new world.
There was a large crowd gathered outside the empty area and they all entered the area that was surrounded.
They all had excited looks on their faces, as if there was something they really cared about here.
What ambassador Hakanin didn’t expect was that his Magic Sedan didn’t park in the same place as the other Magic Sedans. It went around a curve and drove through an open gate in the back.
After getting out, ambassador Hakanin realized that he was completely wrong outside.
This wasn’t just a simple fence, it was a complete thick building.
When he came in, it was like entering a cave that was completely dark.
If it wasn’t for the light in front of him, he even would have thought that Kennard had brought him to some secret place.
With Kennard leading the way, the two entered the door on the side and walked a long path to arrive at a large gate.
When Kennard pulled it open, there was a loud sound that came from inside that scared ambassador Hakanin.
When he calmed down, he found that he had somehow walked outside.
Looking around, he found that he was on a high stage and there were stairs all around him.
The stairs were filled with people. The highest place was less than ten meters off the ground and the lowest was only two meters off the ground.
“So this thing that looks like a fence from outside is actually a viewing platform.” Ambassador Hakanin looked over this building that was like the beast arenas that was all over the Candra Empire with curious eyes, but was countless times bigger. He thought that it must cost at least three million gold coins to build something like this.
But when he thought about how Kennard had said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had only invested four hundred thousand gold coins for each of those tall buildings, he didn’t feel certain.
At this time, there was a familiar voice that came from in front of him.
“Hey, dear ambassador Hakanin, welcome to the Stantine Duchy.”
Ambassador Hakanin turned back and he found that Xu Yi had appeared at an unknown time in front of him.
“Ha, ha, chairman Xu, I’ve finally met you.” Ambassador Hakanin came forward with a wide smile, taking Xu Yi into a warm hug.
If one looked at their current appearance, who would have thought that they almost broke out in a fight in their first meeting?
“Your excellency ambassador, coming from Caraca City that is over a thousand kilometers away, it must have been very hard, right?” Xu Yi invited ambassador Hakanin to sit down on the cushioned seats while asking this with a smile.
“No, no, no, it wasn’t hard at all.” Ambassador Hakanin shook his head with a smile, “This road is the smoothest road I’ve taken and I was sitting in the most comfortable Magic Sedan, it only took a single day to come here. Compared to the half a month it took to come to Caraca City from our Candra Empire, it was countless times better.”
“Oh? Isn’t it only three thousand kilometers to go from the Candra Empire’s capital Wimbledon City to Caraca City? It wouldn’t take half a month, right?” Xu Yi asked.
Ambassador Hakanin knit his brows to look at Xu Yi. Seeing his confused look, he didn’t know if this fellow did it on purpose or not.
“This…..Ke, chairman Xu, there isn’t a road that connects Wimbledon City to Caraca City. Moreover, I was riding a horse carriage the entire way, how could it be as fast as the Magic Sedan?”
“Oh, right.” Xu Yi patted his head, looking like he suddenly understood. After thinking about it, he continued, “Alright, to make your excellency ambassador’s future trip more easy and to welcome your excellency ambassador to the Stantine Duchy, I represent the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to give you the newest Magic Sedan model from our company. What do you think about that?”
“Really? That is great!” Ambassador Hakanin was filled with joy.
