Hearing this news, Sylvia was surprised for a while, then stood up from the chair and asked, "Really?"
Leo nodded, then briefly said the information from other continents he saw in the black market archives.
After listening to Sylvia, his face was contemplative. There is no doubt that this is definitely important news. The United Kingdom has always suspected that the black market has a secret channel to practice with other continents, but there has been no evidence for it. This proves that the black market is also extremely cooperative with the request of the United Kingdom, so that the United Kingdom cannot find any reason to investigate this matter.
Now the information that Leo said from other continents is undoubtedly the best evidence to prove the previous suspicions. This is definitely a major event for the United Kingdom to affect the policy of the entire Kingdom.
If the United Kingdom can control this channel, then the United Kingdom can say that it controls the foreign trade of the entire Velen world, and the profits contained therein even exceed the total trade control of the maritime routes of the Sigma Kingdom and the Inge Kingdom, relying on abundant financial resources and resources. In this way, the kingdom can definitely become stronger in a short period of time, and even in the future, it is not impossible to counterattack the empire and reunify the Weilun continent.
Thinking of this, Sylvia felt that he should do something, and there were plans in his mind. Obviously he was planning to get the most benefit from this news.
However, when Sylvia was in deep thought and a look of joy appeared on her face, Leo poured cold water on her and said: "Although this news has a place worth operating, it should not be as you imagined. value."
"Why do you say that?" Sylvia frowned and asked, "How much do you think I think it is worth?"
"Although this news is of some value, it will not change the overall strength of the United Kingdom." Leo simply saw through Sylvia's thoughts and said, "From all perspectives, even if the black market has mastered a safe The passage through the fog, but there may be some restrictions on that passage, such as the items passing through the passage are within a certain weight range, and for example, how long it takes each time the passage is used before it can be used again. So the black market passage The various materials shipped may be of some value to individuals, but for a large enlightenment like a country, each time the materials are transported, it is not enough for it to stuff."
Sylvia heard a little silence, but then said a little bit dissatisfiedly: "Where do you see that the passage is restricted?"
Leo looked at Sylvia and smiled, and asked in a hurry: "If I remember correctly, it was the negotiations between Rupert Fitz and the black market, and some of the black market forces were incorporated into the union. Within the kingdom system, and after that, it was reported that there might be a channel connected to other continents in the black market, and it quickly spread throughout the entire United Kingdom. Who do you think will spread the news?"
Sylvia frowned and said, "Since Rupert Fitz has long known that this channel exists, why did he..."
"I think it's because he doesn't look down," Leo quickly gave the answer, saying: "He doesn't look down on the benefits of this channel."
Sylvia raised her eyebrows with some dissatisfaction. Obviously Leo was very uncomfortable with the statement. After all, Rupert Fitz did not take advantage of her interests. Like the big discovery, it made her look like a redneck who had never seen the market.
"Actually, you can also take a slice of the pie in this matter," Leo continued: "Since Rupert Fitz has taken away the benefit he wanted, why should you be polite? How much is this news? Being able to get a profit from the black market is not right, but it should be useful to you if you want to come."
Sylvia's face softened a little, and she quickly figured it out. As Leo said, although she couldn't get the benefits she wanted, she could still make a fuss from this news. Getting some benefits from the black market, these benefits may not be a big deal for the entire country, but for her, she can do a lot of things.
However, this process made her feel inexplicably disgusted, because it made her feel like she was picking up the rest of the food.
In the following days, Sylvia dealt with the property harvested in Cabo City, and left Leo Cabo City with Leo on the train to her land Randall in the United Kingdom.
"Don't you need to go to Lancy?" On the train, Leo watched the servant fix the two little guys in a special cradle inside the carriage, and then asked Sylvia a little puzzled.
"What are you going to Lanxi?" Sylvia looked at Leo in a puzzled way.
Leo said, "Work? Are you not a UK government official?"
"I'm a good official, but I'm a special kind of official, I don't have to stay in the office every day." Sylvia smiled and said, "Where I am, my office is, my If the men can’t even find me and give me the documents that I need to deal with, then they don’t have to do anything under my hands."
I don't know if it was the effect of her remarks, or it was the case. Before the train started, dozens of documents were hurriedly sent to the car and handed over to Sylvia.
Leo did not disturb Sylvia to deal with the document, but sat in the car window and picked up a travel guide dedicated to Randall and looked at it.
When the United Kingdom was founded, many imperial nobles turned to the United Kingdom. Although some of these nobles were higher than Sylvia at the time, they were only titled nobles or court nobles. The fief, Sylvia is the only aristocrat who has a fief in the empire but joined the United Kingdom, so King Philip gave Sylvia a whole city as its new fief, and the area of this fief was the Belmont family The fiefdom was five times larger, and Sylvia became one of the few nobles in the United Kingdom that possessed fiefdoms.
However, the fact that Randall was sealed as a fief to Sylvia still surprised many people, because Randall is not only the fourth largest fishing port in the United Kingdom, but also has a very long history and special status.
The King of England’s royal family had settled in Randall for a while before crossing the sea to the Inger Islands, and the King of England’s royal family also began to believe in Poseidon here, and drafted the first draft of the founding of the Kingdom of England, so there are also People call Randall the starting point of the Kingdom of England.
Since then, Landauer has been under the control of the Royal Family of Flanders. Usually the second, third, and fourth heirs of the royal family may be sealed as Prince Landauer. This is also King Philip’s seal of Landauer to Greece. After Sylvia, one of the most unbelievable reasons is that, according to others, Randall will definitely become the exclusive land of the heir to the King of the United Kingdom under normal circumstances.
Although Randall was originally built according to a harbour city, its geographical location is not suitable as a harbour. Even if a lot of manpower and material resources are invested, the port dock here is still not very large, and usually cargo ships will not choose Randall. As a key port, I would rather walk a distance along the coastline to reach the next port before docking, so here gradually gave up the possibility of being a freight port, and instead specialized in the fishing industry, all the docks were converted into fishing boats The wharf makes it possible for Randall to occupy a place in many seaside cities.
The reason why the French Empire at that time would forcibly build such a geographically unfavorable location into a harbor city is mainly due to the influence of religion. This is one of the five holy places of the Church of the Sea God recorded in the classics. Once Poseidon was holy here, and here the first saint of the Poseidon Church was named Dagon. After Dagon walked on the coast of the Weilun mainland, he created a feat of walking around the coastline of the Weilun continent. The fragmented Poseidon church was integrated, and a unified Poseidon church was established in Randall, and he was buried in Randall after his death.
Because of this, the Church of Poseidon will spare no effort to persuade the French Empire at the time to transform a remote small fishing village such as Landor into a harbour city, and the first main church of the Church of Poseidon was in Randall. Soon after it became a harbour city, the construction was completed, so whether in the past or now, Landauer is a devout believer of the Church of the Sea God from top to bottom.
Although Randall is a sacred place for the Church of Poseidon, the residents here are all devout believers of the Church of Poseidon, but their relationship with the Kingdom of England is not good.
This is mainly due to the fact that the royal family of Inge used to be a son of Neptune and descended from Neptune. This seems to the fundamentalists of Randall’s Neptune Church to be completely blasphemous. When the Inge Kingdom was first established, it had The people of Poseidon Church proposed to form a fleet to fight over and kill those who blasphemed.
However, within the Randall Poseidon Church, it was split for the reason of the Inge royal family. More than the general Poseidon church members and senior priests all recognized the identity of the Poseidon son of the Inge Kingdom and believed that the Inge Kingdom was the Poseidon church. The best destination for this is that the Poseidon Church does not have to stay on the Weilun continent and compete with other churches for believers. They can all move to the English Kingdom and use their relationship with the royal family to make the Church of Poseidon the only national religion in the English Kingdom.
But those fundamentalists believe that blasphemy is blasphemy, even if huge benefits are involved behind it, as believers should not allow others to blaspheme for these interests.
As a result, the Church of Poseidon eventually split into two. Most of the Poseidon churches left Randall to the Kingdom of Engel, and eventually became the current Engelian religion, and carried out a series of religious reforms. The classics recognize the identity of the son of the princess of the Inge royal family.
And the Poseidon churches who stayed in Randall still practiced the original principle of the Poseidon Church in the past. They regarded the Enge Kingdom as an enemy and as a heresy. They are willing to do anything that can adversely affect the Enge Kingdom. They I think that only in this way can we regain the attention of Poseidon.
So every time there is a war conflict between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, the most enthusiastically signing up for the army is always the Randalls. During the war, the people fighting on the front line will always be the Randalls, so if they are During the war between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, suddenly there was no manpower, so Randall was willing to send enough people to join the war.
After seeing this, Leo returned the book to the cover title page and saw a line below the title page. The Inge people should be careful to move to Randall’s important tips.
"I'm an Ingrid." Sylvia, who is still working hard, said.
Sylvia was stunned, raised her head, looked at Leo for a while, and then said, "I know you are English."
Leo picked up the Randall travel guide book and shook it.
Sylvia immediately understood Leo's meaning and smiled: "It's okay, the train station is in the suburbs, and we need to make a carriage for a distance to the city of Randall, and we don't live in the city, but live. In the castle of Wanghaiya, it was the castle built by the Inge royal family at that time. The style is similar to the castle style of the current Inge kingdom. You should be used to it."
Leo said nothing, and continued to read the Randall travel guide.
Although Randall is a church and a holy place for a strong church, they did not benefit from it because they did not use their advantages to carry out any activities in marine development, exploration and commerce, and adhered to the tradition from beginning to end. Fishery, which made them miss the opportunity to get involved in ocean hegemony again and again.
So until today, the harbour city of Randall as a whole is no different from its original size. At most, the pier has been renovated to adapt to the current fishing boats, and there are more casinos, theaters and nightclubs. Architecture~EbookFREE.me~ In the travel guide, there are three places about Randall’s classics worth visiting, one is the Black Castle at Wanghai Cliff, and the other is the original church and the tomb of the saint, and The last place is not in the harbour city, but in the outer sea of Randall, a special stone island.
According to the travel guide, every year the tidal festival of the Poseidon Church will go out to the sea to sacrifice. They will sacrifice the best catch of the year to the Poseidon. Their sacrifice ceremony is no different from the traditional Poseidon sacrifice ceremony. , It’s not worth paying too much attention, and the real thing worth seeing is the location of the sacrifice. At that time, a stone island composed entirely of hexagonal stone columns, there was a megalithic palace on the island, and the gate of the megalithic palace was a huge stone gate. No one can open this stone gate, and the sacrifice of the Poseidon Church is on the altar in front of the stone gate.
In ordinary times, this stone island sinks into the bottom of the sea and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. Only on the day of sacrifice, it will float up and accept the sacrifice.
There are rumors that Poseidon lived in the stone palace. When someone opened the stone gate, Poseidon would wake up from the palace and the ocean would drown everything in the world.
