Volume 6 Chapter 55 - Do you know about patents? (1/2)

Still said that Xu Yi’s idea was good was naturally because countless people were paying attention to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. If this series of documentaries was released, it would definitely attract the attention of these people.

Everyone wanted to know about this unknown small company from the Stantine Duchy, which was a country that was so small that everyone ignored it. They wanted to know what were the military magic machines and wanted to know how the Rudson Kingdom had relied on their support to defeat the Candra Empire’s invasion twice.

The ones that cared the most was naturally the Candra Empire who had been defeated twice.

There was less than a week before the new year and most people were preparing to welcome in the new year. A delegation from the Candra Empire went through the Norton Duchy and the Mirando Duchy to arrive in the Lampuri Kingdom’s capital, Anvilmar City.

Since they were recommended by the Candra Empire’s ambassador, this delegation smoothly received an audience with Queen Seveni.

The mission on the surface was to represent the Candra Empire’s emperor to wish Queen Seveni a new year, while also bringing some cooperation projects for the Lampuri Kingdom from the Candra Empire.

From the surface, the Candra Empire would send this delegation each year, so it wasn’t strange.

Because the Lampuri Kingdom and the Candra Empire had contact between them, so they were quite close. It was normal to send delegates to maintain contact between both sides and to create some trade between the countries.

In the delegate the Candra Empire sent each year, there would be some Candra Empire companies. They came to create some trade agreements with the Lampuri Kingdom companies, which would strengthen both sides.

But before this, the Candra Empire was just too much stronger than the Lampuri Kingdom, so the delegate was just sent to show their attitude and maintain their relationship, there weren’t any actual trade deals between the two sides. The companies that came with the delegates were only companies without any fame in the Candra Empire.

But this year was different.

This time, the Candra Empire’s delegate was not just much bigger than before, the people who came were of higher class.

In the past, the Candra Empire would just send a normal official and no more than ten small company representatives. They would just come to create some superficial trade deals with the Lampuri Kingdom.

But the delegate this time was led by the Candra Empire’s department of commerce’s chief Marquis Descartes and the representatives from the companies were from the famous large companies of the Candra Empire. This even included a representative from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce which was the largest company on the continent. This was an unprecedented scale.

Because before the delegate came, the Candra Empire’s ambassador to the Lampuri Kingdom had already mentioned this, Seveni was only a bit surprised and already prepared. They had prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome this delegate.

This banquet had a happy mood, but after the banquet, the Candra Empire’s delegate leader Marquis Descartes met Seveni alone and there were sparks that appeared.

“Your majesty, this is our empire’s goodwill to your kingdom, why aren’t you willing to accept this?” Marquis Descartes said in a deep voice.

Seveni narrowed her eyes and really wanted to give a cold laugh.

This Marquis Descartes was polite to her in the beginning, but when they reached the specifics, he immediately revealed his high position as being from the Candra Empire and his tone became commanding. It was like he was giving an order from the heavens that had to be followed.

Of course, if the proposal was favourable to the Lampuri Kingdom, Seveni was too lazy to care about his tone, but this fellow represented the Candra Empire’s department of commerce to request Seveni to give the Candra Empire all their current magic machine technology. How could Seveni accept this?

Even if Marquis Descartes said that the Candra Empire would give the Lampuri Kingdom compensation, for example establishing an alliance with the Lampuri Kingdom and guaranteeing that the Lampuri Kingdom would be the leading country in the southwest corner of the continent…..

At the same time, he also promised some benefits for Seveni.

For example, the Candra Empire would open a trade route for the Lampuri Kingdom, specifically allowing the Lampuri Kingdom’s products to enter the Candra Empire. He even said that for most products, especially the magic machine related products, they would waive the tariffs on these.

Or for example, the Candra Empire would open up all their products to be exported to the Lampuri Kingdom. Among them were the products that the Candra Empire was abundant in and the Lampuri Kingdom lacked, they would even cut the price and ensure that the Lampuri Kingdom would have first rights to buy them…..

If it was before, if a small country like the Lampuri Kingdom could receive this importance from the Candra Empire which was one of the two empires on the continent, they would have been happy to accept this kind of support.

Especially when the Lampuri Kingdom was always suppressed by the Sack Kingdom. If they could be acknowledged by the Candra Empire as an ally, it would be the best protective charm against the Sack Kingdom.

But for the current Lampuri Kingdom…..not only were these conditions not enticing at all, Seveni could easily tell that the goal of the Candra Empire was all the various magic machine technology the Lampuri Kingdom possessed.
