Cornelia sat in the palace living room with a complicated expression.
From the time she entered the palace until now, she has met quite a few powerful men at the level of three great mentors, among whom Baos attracted her attention the most.
Such a powerful great knight instructor was actually willing to guard the gate of the palace.
Cornelia waited for more than an hour and still didn't see Emperor Aslan, which made her restless.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of dry-heeled shoes sounded, causing Cornelia to tense up and sit upright.
But the person who came was not Aslan, but Medea, the Queen of the Empire.
"Your Highness the Queen!"
Cornelia quickly stood up and saluted. The most powerful person in the empire was worthy of her gesture.
Duke Medea nodded slightly and sat on the main seat, which was the throne where the emperor usually sat.
Only Queen Medea in the entire palace can enjoy this kind of treatment.
Queen Medea held her chin and kept looking at Cornelia, her eyes getting weirder and weirder.
"No wonder the Holy Brighta Empire wants to send you here, you really have some information!"
"ah!"
Cornelia didn't understand the meaning of Queen Medea's words, so she could only look at her with doubtful eyes.
It's a pity that Queen Medea never planned to explain to her from beginning to end.
"Tell me your reason for coming! I have taken over this matter. Since your country sent you here, it is reasonable for me to receive you."
Queen Medea opened the car door and walked directly to the door.
The meaning is very simple, if you want to see Aslan, you have to change to a male member of the royal family.
Renia frowned slightly, but there was nothing she could do about it.
On the other side, Aslan is heading to Kanglai's seventh main immigrant city - Western Zhou City.
Since the opening of the connecting channel between the two continents, a large number of Kanglai people have immigrated to the Xinuo continent.
Western Zhou City was among the first batch of immigrant cities. In less than a year, it became so prosperous.
This new city located north of the main city of Cleveland was once just a part of the fortress and plains south of the Kyoto Bromen Fortress of the Kingdom of Cleveland, which was used to defend against the Ottoman Kingdom's cavalry at the beginning of the founding of the country.
As the Kingdom of Cleveland grew stronger and drove the Ottoman Kingdom completely back to the steppes, this old fortress was slowly abandoned and turned into ruins.
Arthur chose this place as the seventh immigrant city. He razed the old towers and built a new city in the ruins after the war. They built new houses in the city and a dock on the banks of the Nayin River.
The square brings life back to this abandoned land.
The Nayin River is a river that runs across the northern part of the Kingdom of Cleveland. It is the largest river in the kingdom and the second largest river in the empire today.
At first, the Kanglai people living in the western city of Zhou were uneasy. They were new immigrants, and they also immigrated from another continent. At first, gravity made them very hard.
When they were in Kanglai World, they had to adapt to twice the gravity, then three times. After they came to Western Zhou City, the gravity increased to four times, and outside Western Zhou City, the gravity reached five times.
This is also the current situation in all immigrant cities today. The people in Kanglai have not yet been able to fully adapt to this terrifying gravity, and they will always have to live in the immigrant cities.
Therefore, most of the first batch of immigrants were professional soldiers, pre-professionals and young adults, and most of them were manual workers. There were relatively few pampered rich people and middle-class people with relatively comfortable lives.
As for scientific researchers, they are even more pitiful. The reason is that these people spend many years doing research in laboratories and lack exercise. It is very difficult for them to adapt to the new world.
This is also what Aslan has always regretted the most. He was unable to completely absorb the scientific researchers from Kanglai World, otherwise the empire's scientific research strength would have to be at least upgraded to another level.
Although for the people of Western Zhou City, Western Zhou City is like a huge cage, Kang Lai, who immigrated to Western Zhou City, is still very satisfied.
Many people have never left their city or even their province in their entire lives, and they do not feel that it is a prison.
Soon the city of Western Zhou Dynasty became an important industrial city in the north-central province of the empire. It was also the choke point for communication between the north-central province and the Ottoman steppes. It was the only way for merchants to conduct north-south trade. For merchants
, the Ottoman steppe seems to always have countless ores and magic materials.
People from anywhere in the Melox Empire welcome the power grid and power generation equipment brought to the imperial capital. In front of many businessmen, what flows in the Nayin River is no longer water, but gold coins.
So much so that a new saying became popular among the merchants who came to do business in Western Zhou City: As long as you can carry a sack around Western Zhou City, even a donkey can make a lot of money.
Recently, the four major forces in the outer continent have reached a new armistice agreement. There is no threat of war. Many factories in the empire have begun to resume civilian production, and more trade orders have been opened to other parts of the empire.
As an important manufacturing city, Western Zhou City suddenly became more lively. New merchants were attracted here, and new products began to appear on those cargo ships and trucks, including cheap textiles, paper and wine from the Merox Province.
They were included in the list of commodities from various places, and their low prices stunned merchants from all over the empire. They were even cheaper than the products of the Maxim Chamber of Commerce back then.
Now the empire has begun to squeeze the living space of the Maxim Chamber of Commerce bit by bit, forcing them to slowly withdraw from the Melox Empire market.
Originally, such behavior would definitely trigger a battlefield between the two countries, but for some unknown reason, the Maxim Empire has not made any comment on this, allowing the Maxim Chamber of Commerce to be slowly squeezed out.
Ordinary people and people at very low levels may not know the reason. Only the top leaders of the two countries know exactly what happened.
The United Outer Continent Council is on the agenda.
The prosperity of commerce allowed the Western Zhou City to develop at an extremely fast speed. More and more imperial people were attracted to settle here, including not only residents of the Old Kingdom, but also people from the Ottoman steppe and northern city-states, and various
People who leave their homes for various reasons.
Immigrants from all over the world must live in the Imperial Immigration City for a period of time before they can move to other cities. Invisibly, the Kanglai people are integrated with immigrants from all over the world, because many people settle here.
Originally, the immigrant city had a population of less than one million. With the increase in immigrants, the population has exceeded 1.5 million.
In front of the entry-exit registration checkpoint at the West Zhoucheng Pier Square, a group of new immigrants who had just gotten off the boat were lining up through the narrow passage and queuing up in this narrow passage.
It is a very novel thing for people who arrive in Western Zhou City for the first time. They are not very accustomed to it, but the fully armed dock soldiers can ensure that they adapt in a short time.
