As the seat of the political capital of the Hansen League, Bergen is actually not very big. It only ranks third in the Principality of Hannover, behind the capital Luxembourg, the largest seaport, and the second largest city Zagreb. However, due to its Located in the southern part of the Principality of Hanover, the majestic and steep Alfonsoro Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from south to north, but there is a wonderful fault where Bergen is located. The broken and rugged Genea Pass has been passed by the Hanoverians for decades. After the renovation and maintenance, it finally became the busiest passage, and Bergen is just on the west side of the passage, facing the Indian Kingdom Khakila City on the east side.
The Alfonsoro Mountains in summer are the most beautiful and charming season in the Western Continent. The alpine ski resorts above the snow line are the best places for nobles to compete in ski competitions and dog sledding races. The nobles often spend large sums of money here, and casinos are also established. , every gambling always brings joy to some people and sorrow to others, but the nobles don't care too much about this. As long as they can relax their minds and rest for a few days with good friends, it is undoubtedly an extremely rare enjoyment for them.
People who don’t like snow sports can choose to hunt in the forests and shrubs below the snow line, ranging from black bears and wild boars to argali, blue sheep, red deer, and sika deer. People who are good at hunting have already prepared hounds and dogs here. Weapons, every large-scale hunting always attracts many ladies who are unwilling to be left alone. The prize for the final winner of the hunting is often a bottle of champagne or a bottle of old red wine. If you are lucky, you can also get a refined ivory jewelry or a rhino horn. As special gifts, of course these special gifts are generally provided by the host.
Today's hunting activity obviously achieved extraordinary results. Although there were many guests, the Marquis of Salz, as the host, was very good at this kind of thing. The waiters shuttled back and forth among the crowd, and the guests gathered around in small groups according to their preferences and talked. The most popular and fashionable topics among the upper class society of the Alliance.
"Count Jibri, I cannot agree with your words. Although the Chidi people have signed an armistice agreement with the Luobi people, once these barbarians lick their wounds, they will definitely launch a more ferocious attack on our north to retaliate this time. It's not hard to imagine the threat we pose to them. I think we may encounter more trouble in the north this year." A polite gentleman was politely selling his judgment to the other party.
"Viscount Fermi, you are right, but have you ever considered that in this war with the Luobi people, although the Chidi people gained an advantage, their advantage did not turn into victory, which means they did not achieve much satisfaction. The Luobi people also hold a grudge against the outcome of this war. They will not be willing to let the Chidi people bear the burden, especially now that they have the support of the Tanghe people and several other grassland barbarians behind them. I'm afraid that the strength will be restored soon. Maybe this truce is just a cover, a cover to provide a breathing space for the next war." The old man did not agree with the other party's view, "For the Chidi people, how to deal with Luo The revenge of the humble people is the most important. As for the invasion of our north, maybe, but I’m afraid they will also need to rest in a short period of time.”
"Well, what the earl said makes sense. I heard that this time the Luobi people were able to avoid being completely defeated by the Chidi people. Their former enemies, the Tanghe people, contributed a lot, especially the northwest king of the Tanghe people, Li Wufeng. With the demeanor of a general, he immediately turned enemies into friends with the Luobi people, catching the Chidi people off guard and making them dumbfounded." Someone next to him interrupted.
"The mysterious Eastern Continent is really fascinating. From silk and porcelain to tea and bamboo weaving, the things created by the Eastern people are always amazing. Why don't we have them in the Western Continent?" A nobleman with a strong businessman's atmosphere He looked confused and couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, Viscount Curran, all things are born, not everything is distributed evenly, and of course there is no favoritism between one and another. Of course, there are things in the Eastern Continent that we don't have in the Western Continent, but some things that we have in the Western Continent, they don't have in the Eastern Continent either, so that's why With the emergence of a profession like a businessman, we can communicate with each other." The other noble noble immediately comforted the other party.
"Well, I heard that the silk was spun from the mouth of a kind of insect and then woven by special means. It's simply unbelievable. The weaving technology of those bamboo weavers has also reached the point of ingenuity. I can't imagine the minds of Eastern people. It can only be said that the extent of his dexterity is amazing." Although Viscount Curran is a businessman, he is also the leader of a business family. Every time the caravan brings him a lot of profits, it also makes him have a lot of knowledge. The Eastern Continent was full of yearning, but due to his status, he was unable to travel to the East with the caravan, so he had to express his regrets in words.
"Viscount, you don't have to feel sorry. The Viscount Mengkadi and Baron Plovlan and his wife have just returned from the Eastern Continent. You might as well go and have a chat. It's better than nothing." Someone next to him immediately suggested. road.
Viscount de Montcadé got his wish and became a guest at the Marquis of Salz's hunting estate, and he finally experienced the taste of a star in his prime. Whether it was the marquis and counts from various countries, or the ladies and girls, they all admired him. The legendary experience in the Eastern Continent is full of curiosity and admiration. Said to be a legendary experience, only Viscount Mengkadi knew that it was just an ordinary trip. It was just that he was lucky enough to meet Li Wufeng, which gave the Hansen Alliance an opportunity to join forces with the Eastern Continent to deal with their old enemy, the Red Di people. .
However, a visit to the northwest was enough to show off to the nobles who stayed at home. Mr. Viscount heard everything from the magical green sea swamps of Northern Luzon to the endless sugar cane forests and tobacco fields, to the mountains and plains. From the coffee plantations, from the flocks of clouds on the Tengger Grassland to the thriving textile industry in the northwest, Viscount Mengkadi fully demonstrated his eloquence. He carefully spent a lot of time arranging this at home. Of course, these They are all facts, with some exaggeration added where appropriate. The merchant nobles were more fascinated by the business opportunities contained in Mr. Viscount's words, while the hereditary nobles were more yearning for the mysterious and beautiful natural scenery, culture and art, and the young women were attracted by the various costumes full of rich oriental ethnic colors introduced by Mr. Viscount. and handicrafts.
Even the envoys of the Western Continent countries outside the alliance who were stationed in the alliance were intentionally invited by the Marquis of Salz to his hunting farm to participate in this grand event. Of course, the purpose of the Marquis of Salz was not to ask Viscount Montcadé to introduce the mystery and peace of the East. Legend, but to show the reality to the countries in the Western Continent that the Hansen Alliance has found a powerful ally in the Eastern Continent. Although this ally is too far away from the Western Continent, this is a breakthrough after all. It seems that none of the countries in the Western Continent has thought of having such contact with the forces in the Eastern Continent, but it is more of a formal exchange and commercial exchanges.
Mr. and Mrs. Plovlan obviously did not get into the mood as quickly as Vicomte de Montcadé. Faced with the pursuit of noble ladies from all walks of life, Plovland seemed flattered and at a loss. Fortunately, Miss Dreiser's good tutoring and The natural adaptability helped the two overcome the difficulties. As everyone became familiar with each other, many topics gradually expanded.
"Your Excellency Baron, I heard that you and Mr. Li Wufeng, who was king of the northwest of Tanghe, were classmates? I heard that he was also proficient in Raniya?" Plovlan no longer knows how many times he has answered this question. It seems that These people are not interested in the development of the situation in Tanghe and the Eastern Continent, but the period when Kafenitz once fooled around at Heidelberg University has become the issue that these people are most concerned about.
"Why did Li Wufeng choose our Western Continent's school as his place of study? Does he admire our Western Continent's civilization? Or does he think that our Western Continent has something more worthy of pursuit?" Such values are purely worthless. The idiot questions made Plovlan fully realize that if a famous person had to answer these boring questions every day, it would be better not to be such a famous person.
Fortunately, there are still many nobles with normal IQs who are paying attention to the most core issues.
As the director of the Alliance's Foreign Affairs Office, the purpose of inviting Jiren to Liezhuang as a guest this time is to gain a clearer understanding of the strength of this ally in the Eastern Continent, especially after defeating the Luobei people. , how much actual control they have over the Luobei people, the grassland barbarians who restrain the alliance's biggest enemy, the Chidi people. In his view, being able to control these nomadic barbarians on the grasslands is simply an extremely terrifying thing.
Think about it, these guys who come and go without a trace can run for several days on the endless grassland with a bag of water and a bag of dried meat. If he wants to subdue these guys, he really can't figure out how to do it. a little. But it seems that Dongfang, an ally, not only controls several small and medium-sized tribes next to him, but even the once glorious Luo Bei people seem to have slowly fallen into his hands. If this power can be used by the alliance and cooperate with each other, it will be enough to greatly eliminate the harm caused by the Chidi people to the northern countries of the alliance, or at least limit these harms to a tolerable range.
"Viscount Mengkadi, are you saying that in addition to the forces that oppose the Tanghe people among the Luobi people, the forces that are friendly to the Tanghe people now have the upper hand?" Listening carefully to Viscount Mengkadi's introduction to the northwest and Luobi people The Marquis of Salz was thinking about the relationship between humble people. From the current point of view, it is good for allies to be able to influence the Luobei people, but as the Tanghe people further expand their power and control the Luobei people, will other situations arise? I hope I am worrying too much, after all, it is too far away.
