As the capital of the Candela Empire, Wimbledon City has always been known as the largest city in the Sainz Continent, and naturally has a huge population that far exceeds other places.
According to rough statistics, the permanent population in Wimbledon has reached 2.3 million, and the floating population, which is difficult to count, exceeds at least 3 million. When added together, it reaches an astonishing 500 More than ten thousand people.
Such a huge population figure, placed in a small country like the Lampali Kingdom, is almost equivalent to the population of an entire country.
Precisely because it has such a large population, the city of Wimbledon is almost always an extremely prosperous and lively scene, with crowds of people everywhere, completely different from the tranquil and comfortable situation of most cities on the mainland.
For the city of Wimbledon, the most lively area is of course the area around Candela Imperial Square in the center of the city.
Almost all the businesses and shops in Wimbledon are gathered here, as well as several well-known restaurants and other entertainment venues. In addition to attracting countless nobles and nobles in Wimbledon to come here to play, it can also attract a large number of families. The more privileged commoners came here, hoping that one day they could mix with the nobles.
Of course, if we say that it usually accommodates the largest number of people, it is the Candela Imperial Square in the center.
This square has existed since the founding of the Candela Empire and has been rebuilt several times. It still maintains the huge area when it was first created, occupying a huge area in Wimbledon.
The most recent renovation was carried out last autumn. It is said that the Amli Chamber of Commerce from the Kingdom of Lampali was invited to carry out the overall renovation.
After half a year of renovation. All floors of the new Candela Imperial Plaza use new marble surfaces. The various flowers and plants dotted around have become more exotic and gorgeous. There are many things that people have never even heard of, which are said to be gifts from the elves.
Among the changes in the entire square, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the magic square lights erected around the square.
Every night, these magic square lights will emit bright but not dazzling light, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.
These magic square lights are designed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and have been welcomed by everyone.
In addition to some detailed changes, there is another one that is not particularly eye-catching at first. Now it has become the most popular thing among people who come to the square, and that is the large-scale magic illusion projection device provided and installed for free by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
The Crescent Chamber of Commerce not only provided this installation, but also provided a corresponding large number of entertainment programs.
Among them, several fantasy drama series that were very popular in the Lampali Kingdom and surrounding countries quickly gained great popularity among the people of Wimbledon after they started playing in this square.
In just a few months, countless people in Wimbledon have developed a habit of crowding into this square after dark, waiting for the Crescent Chamber of Commerce's phantom series to start playing.
It's the same tonight. Before nightfall, this huge square is already crowded with people, just glance at it. It can also be estimated that the number of people waiting in the open space in front of the large magic illusion projection device must exceed 20,000.
Everyone was staring at the void above the large magic illusion projection device, their faces filled with anticipation.
The magic clock hanging high above the square points the time to the beginning of the evening. A trace of light cyan light immediately flashed on the large magic illusion projection device, and then the logo of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce flashed out in the void. After a moment, it turned into the characters "News Weekly".
The people sitting around the square were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
By the way, today is Sunday, and it’s time for the Crescent Chamber of Commerce’s weekly Newsweek.
When "News Weekly" was first broadcast, people were not satisfied, feeling that this program wasted their precious time watching TV series. However, as "News Weekly" was broadcast several times, this program became more and more popular among people.
After all, "News Weekly" talks about major events that happened in various places on the Sainz continent. Even if these things have little to do with the vast majority of ordinary people, supporting the mentality of curiosity and gossip can also make people People watch it with gusto.
This week's "News Weekly", like many times in the past, will first report some news related to the Candela Empire.
One of them is related to the action of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team in the small town of Laluer in Tagana Province a few days ago.
Prior to this, rumors about the sudden action of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts all said that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts acted without authorization and were not officially recognized by the Candela Empire. It could almost be considered an invasion.
Although the Candela Empire's Senate Council and the House of Commons later issued statements at the same time, stating that this operation was a joint operation organized after consultation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire officials, and was not an invasion, it was still questioned.
Because there were too many witnesses to this operation, but they did not see any footage of the official cooperation between the Candela Empire and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escorts, naturally there were many discordant voices.
However, in this "News Weekly", a relatively detailed report was made on this news. It not only revealed that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire officials had reached an agreement to jointly operate for the purpose of focusing on combating bandits in the Candela Empire. Create a safe and stable environment within the Candela Empire to ensure that the caravans of major chambers of commerce can travel safely, and even released some specific image data.
The video data played showed that the commander-in-chief of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team actually led the team to Wimbledon City in person, and met and talked with several generals of the Candela Empire Military Department. The atmosphere between the two parties was friendly, and the conversation was extremely harmonious. There was no trace of it. He looked conflicted.
"The Supreme Commander of the Kandra Empire Military, Imperial Marshal Campbell Sudirman said that through this joint operation, the Imperial Military has become more aware of the powerful power and the huge role that military magic machinery can play, making the Imperial Military a The senior officials were eye-opening. It laid a solid foundation for the imperial military to fully upgrade to the latest and most advanced combat mode. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team continues to carry out joint operations on many occasions to promote in-depth exchanges and discussions between the two parties.”
The host of "Newsweek" summarized the matter in a paragraph.
After reading this piece of news, everyone in the square suddenly felt that all their doubts were gone.
You see, even the great Marshal of the Empire personally came out to prove that this operation was a joint operation with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Can it still be false
After broadcasting several domestic news items in the Candela Empire, "News Weekly" began to broadcast foreign news.
The first piece of news immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Two days ago, two large cargo magic ships of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's Fifth Transport Fleet and eight magic frigates serving as escorts were suddenly attacked on their way back from the Principality of Venice to the Principality of Standing. Intelligence showed that this The pirates who attacked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s fifth transport fleet this time are the same pirates who attacked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s transport fleet three times in a row.”
The illusion suddenly flashed and turned into a scene on the vast sea.
After everyone saw this illusion, they all exclaimed.
Because in this illusion, there are countless light balls of various types shining with magical light flying around on the sea. At a glance, you can see that a large number of magicians are fighting.
"This group of pirates who have repeatedly attacked the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet unexpectedly has more than twenty high-level magicians, as well as a great magician..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera in the illusion suddenly zoomed in and landed on a whirlpool of black magic condensed in mid-air.
Everyone was shocked again.
There are actually more than twenty high-level magicians in a pirate group? There's even a great magician? This is ridiculous!
However, the horrific and magical scenes shown in the illusion fully proved that the news was true.
"The escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had a fierce battle with the pirates on the sea. They finally won and killed the great magician, more than ten senior magicians and hundreds of pirates. In addition. Xinfei The Chamber of Commerce also captured three senior magicians and dozens of pirates."
"According to the testimonies provided by these three senior magicians and dozens of pirates, these strange pirates came from the Magic Kingdom of Mana. The great magician named Glorfin who was killed was registered in the Magic Kingdom of Mana. "One of the great magicians."
Hearing this, the audience couldn't help but express expressions of astonishment on their faces.
It's surprising that there are pirates who dare to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's fleet regardless of life and death, and what's even more surprising is that this pirate group actually has so many powerful magicians, which is really against common sense.
However, the most shocking thing is that the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that was attacked actually won a complete victory and even killed the great magician!
God be upon you! That's a great magician!
The next moment, a scene played by "Newsweek" answered everyone's doubts.
This video records the general situation of the battle between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet and the enemy. Originally, the two sides were in a stalemate, attacking and defending each other, but an unusually bright light suddenly lit up at the front of a large cargo magic ship, and then an extremely thick The beam of light cut through the void, directly annihilating a pirate group in the light.
Everyone was speechless when they saw this huge beam of light that seemed to fill the entire world and was dazzling just by looking at it.
Under such a terrifying attack, even a great magician would definitely not be able to withstand it...
"Kennard, CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, said that since these more than 20 senior magicians and the great magician named Glorfin are all from the Magic Kingdom of Mana, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will report to Mana on this matter. The Magic Kingdom raises questions and reserves the right to investigate.”
Hearing this paragraph, everyone was shocked again.
Although the Magic Kingdom of Mana is not a super empire like the Kandra Empire and the Malo Empire, this kingdom is extremely special in the entire Sainz continent because it is the kingdom with the largest number of magicians.
As for why a kingdom has the most magicians...
The Magic Kingdom of Mana is actually a country secretly organized by the Magician's Union. It is precisely because of the support of the Magician's Union that the Magical Kingdom of Mana can have such a terrifying number of magicians.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually wants to cause trouble in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, it is simply a direct provocation to the Magicians Union.
This is undoubtedly a very crazy move.
But everyone immediately thought of the previous behavior of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which almost openly broke up with the Magicians Guild, and they did not find it strange.
That's right, Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is a lunatic, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a group of lunatics. (To be continued...)
