Chapter 1040 I’m in a Bad Mood Today, It’s Free!

As Brand finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on him.

Brand also further explained:

"I got this news from the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department, it should be correct.

I think His Majesty the Emperor will announce the news to us in one or two days at most.

I just don't know how much it will cost."

As soon as the voice fell, someone quickly thought:

"There was actually a similar situation during the pioneering war.

But at that time, it was not warships that were rented, but various military equipment.

I think His Majesty the Emperor should also introduce some encouraging rent reduction mechanisms.

Of course, since it is a warship built by His Majesty the Emperor at a high price, the rent will definitely not be cheap.

But anyway, for In order to show the majesty of the empire, I think we still need to rent a few ships.

It won't take too long, as long as we complete the contact and guide the elves' sea caravan to the Bay of Flowers.

Although our sea vessels are indeed not very good, the various infrastructures on land are still relatively comprehensive.

In the future, when His Majesty the Emperor has enough ships, I think the Imperial Arms Department will definitely sell us standard models of ships.

At that time, we can also buy some from the Imperial Arms Department to prepare for future trade in the Forest of Elves and exploration of the Endless Sea. "

Hearing this, Brand couldn't help thinking.

Think about it carefully, if their Morning Flower Territory can't build too powerful warships for the time being.

It's actually a good idea to directly find the Arms Department to customize and then further modify it yourself.

With the heavy financial support of His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Arms Department is at the forefront in many aspects.

Many of the military equipment of the lords of the borders of the empire are also purchased from the Arms Department.

From this point of view, in addition to sea vessels, their Morning Flower Territory can actually purchase some other things!

——It is not impossible to make everything by yourself, but sometimes you can still step on the shoulders of giants!

When Brand was thinking about asking the director of the Weapons Department, Mr. Sanders Daher, another day.

Everyone has already started discussing the specific candidates who will join the Empire's welcoming team to welcome the visitors of the Elf Forest.

Brand is not very interested in this matter.

——Just thinking about it, you know that the process must be very troublesome!

But what is unexpected is that everyone else is very active!

In response to Brand's doubts, Master Holland beside him explained:

"Contact the elves first, and then you can let your merchants build good relations with them, exchange information, introduce each other's products to the elves, and discuss the transaction of bulk commodities in advance.

Of course, you don't have to worry too much about this matter.

After all, the elves always have to go to your Morning Flower Port first."

Hearing Master Holland's explanation, Brand was also a little surprised!

——They have a natural geographical advantage.

...

A few days later, a fleet of dozens of continental medium and large sea warships arrived in the northern waters of Morning Flower Territory.

Master Holland, Master Romien, and other people who were going to welcome the visitors from the Forest of Elves said goodbye to others at the dock, boarded the Silver Phoenix, and went to join the Empire's large forces.

And then.

The next afternoon, on the air screen shared by the Empire's Foreign Affairs Department, Brand saw a huge fleet from the Forest of Elves!

The same streamlined hull.

But the standard warships that acted as the vanguard were covered with branches, vines, green leaves, and some of them even had some hanging bright fruits.

——They are not purely dead things!

After carefully observing for a while, Brand asked curiously:

"They should be the results of the application of the [Life Branch] spell, right?"

Hearing Brand's question, Heidilin, who was chewing berries, nodded and said:

"Yes, that's right.

Once an ordinary ship is damaged, it will be very troublesome to repair it, but our warships in the Elf Forest do not have this problem.

Once it is damaged, it can be easily repaired, even on the battlefield.

This is one of the secret methods unique to our Elf Forest."

Hearing this, Brand suddenly realized.

After that, he looked at the many merchant ships guarded by these elven standard warships.

The picture on the empty shadow screen suddenly began to move to the left.

What surprised Brand a little was that:

A small island with green trees suddenly appeared in the distance of the empty shadow screen.

The many accompanying warships of various sizes were like docile and harmless kittens at its feet.

Without waiting for Brand to ask, Heidilin explained calmly:

"This is one of our elves' sea fortresses, the Emerald Heart.

You don't have to be too surprised. It is indeed quite large compared to ordinary ships, but in fact, it is a little smaller than ordinary medium-sized fortresses.

To be specific, it is about the size of half of the inner area of ​​your castle plus the core area."

Hearing this description, Brand couldn't help but say speechlessly:

"It can be compared with a medium-sized fortress on land, and you still think it is small?

A movable fortress and an immovable fortress are completely different concepts!"

Heidilin curled her lips and said:

"But compared with the floating island in our magic palace, it is really nothing, isn't it?"

Recalling the huge [Floating Island] he had seen before, Brand certainly had no way to refute it.

But he savored Heidilin's tone.

He suddenly asked curiously:

"You sound like you don't like this sea fortress?

Is this something from your Elf Forest [Reformists]?"

Seeing that Brand had already noticed something, Heidilin did not hide it.

Nodding casually, he then told a little secret of the Elf Forest:

"In our Elf Forest, many sea fortresses, including this [Emerald Heart], were proposed by the [Reformists].

However, they built these sea fortresses not to protect the safety of the sea area of ​​the Elf Forest, but to explore the Endless Sea.

In our opinion, this is a complete waste of resources, and it is difficult to match the input with the return.

And the subsequent development of the matter is just as we expected:

Every year, a large amount of resources in our Elf Forest sinks into the deep ocean.

For this matter, we have quarreled with them many times over the years!

In short, I feel a little disappointed when I see this thing!"

After saying these things, Hai Dilin's unhappy mood eased a lot.

After a pause, she looked away and asked the people in the room:

"Let's not talk about these troubles. Do you want to listen to me play a beautiful piece of music from the Forest of Elves?

I'm in a bad mood today. It's free!"

Looking at the inconspicuous curve at the corner of Heidilin's mouth.

Celine, who was drinking tea leisurely, frowned and said:

"If it's a violin, forget it. I've been having a headache listening to it these days.

Also, can you set up a soundproofing array yourself when you practice next time?"

Seeing Celine's disgusted face, Heidilin quickly said with some dissatisfaction:

"Good Celine! How can you question my good intentions?

I was just not familiar enough before!

It's different now!"

After saying this, Heidilin turned to Brand and said:

"I think the lord should believe me, right?"

Looking at the expectation on Heidilin's face, Brand spread his hands and said:

"Although I really want to hear you play a beautiful song on the violin.

But I have something to do later, so why don't we talk about it in two days?"

Heidilin said dissatisfiedly:

"It won't be free in two days. Are you really not going to consider it again?"

Brand shook his head, then smiled and said:

"I am very happy to offer the magic gold coins in my pocket for the beautiful song!"
