Chapter 406 "The Capital of All Capitals" Kernnas
The capital of the Lorne Empire is Kernnas, the "City of All Capitals" and the "City of Stars".
It also has another name called Fog City. Because of its unique charm, it stands in a corner of the world of Krad and has become a place of longing for countless people.
As the name suggests, Kernnas is shrouded in a veil-like mist all year round.
When the morning light first shines, the fog in Kernnas intertwines with the morning light. The entire city seems to be immersed in a gentle golden ocean. The outlines of the buildings are looming in the fog, like a mirage, which attracts people's imagination.
At night, the lights will penetrate the mist and form beams of light, decorating the city like bright stars falling into the earth, which is so beautiful.
Kernnas, a powerful and prosperous city, is undoubtedly the center of the Oden continent and even the entire Krad world. Over the past century, it has become an ideal place that countless people dream of. People here can pursue their dreams and future. .
But there is also no lack of filth and evil in Kernnas. Many people come here without realizing any dreams and completely losing their future. They are just reduced to fuel for the enjoyment of those extraordinary nobles.
At this moment, in the palace of the Lorne Empire, seventeen people who stood at the center of the entire empire's power were actively discussing matters about Siyat.
The majestic and heroic Emperor Lorne sat on the throne with his eyes closed and leaning back slightly, as if he had no intention of paying attention to this matter.
Below, the sixteen people belonging to Lorne's cabinet were discussing.
"We have helped the Fisher family and the Roman family in Siart and successfully won the war there. A new king has come to power, and his name is Peggy Yardley."
The Prime Minister of Lorne who spoke, William Pitt, the "Diamond Man", was a thin old man who was nearly eighty years old. His expression was very calm. He was wearing black clothes and looked serious, neat and meticulous.
There are more than a dozen magical stones of different colors and extraordinary powers suspended around him, and one of them is the ultimate miracle of alchemy, the "Philosopher's Stone".
"In the future, we will be able to control Siyat indirectly through remote control of the Fisher family and the Luomen family. The Lorne Empire can take advantage of this opportunity to earn a lot of benefits. It's time to get rewards."
The old prime minister paused and continued: "But I am not optimistic about Siyat's future."
"The emperor of Qiyao will definitely not be able to stand it, and I'm afraid he will order his dog... the Kanians to find trouble with the Siyat people, and the Rhea people also have a lot of hatred for the Siyat people."
One of the people in the cabinet immediately asked:
"So if there is a war against the Siyat people, should we ask the Valerians to provide support and help the Siyat people survive the difficulties?"
At this moment, a deep voice said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter even if Siyat is completely destroyed in the end, as long as the empire can plunder enough profits in the next time."
The man was wearing a Lorne military uniform. He looked to be only about thirty years old. He had a very resolute appearance, with exposed cyan blood vessels under his fair skin. At the same time, there was a hidden air of introversion in his eyes.
Most extraordinary beings would probably feel panicked if they saw him, and then they could not help but regard the man as a "very courageous ordinary person".
Yet, everyone in this city knows him!
He is the strongest man in the empire, "Iron-Blooded Marshal" Horatio Wesley, and the protector of the Lorne army!
"When all the power left by the gods disappears, the four eastern countries that are no longer protected will sooner or later become colonies of the empire. Now we should leave all our power and attention to Qiyao...'the God of War' ”
The Iron-Blooded Marshal's voice was still very deep.
——
The people who control the power of Kernnus are three powerful apocalyptic legends, namely the Emperor of the Empire George Forre, the Prime Minister of Parliament William Pitt "The Diamond Man", and the "Iron Marshal" Horatio Weiss profit.
And below them is the Council of Lorne.
National affairs should be discussed by the Parliament, and even the wise Emperor must cooperate with extraordinary nobles to solve problems. This has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people of Lorne.
The Lorne Parliament has a history of hundreds of years. It is the highest legislative branch of Lorne and the center stage of politics. Successive Lorne governments will emerge from the Parliament and are responsible to the Parliament and His Majesty the Emperor.
In fact, the Lorne Parliament is divided into two places: the House of Nobles and the House of Commons. However, the House of Commons is in name only. The extraordinary nobles with the power of blood have great power and can veto the proposals of the House of Commons at will!
Strength is the source of power!
Today, some congressmen in Kernas were gathering at a congressman's home to discuss matters about colonies in other continents and even other worlds.
"Those unscrupulous people in the colony really bullied people too much. They actually burned down my warehouse and lost a lot of extraordinary materials..."
"How could they do such a thing? It's too much!"
"Yes, fortunately the local general helped me and has dealt with all the tribes involved. I am relieved a lot."
At this time, a new member of the House of Representatives who was not well-known mentioned Siyate, a small country in the east of the mainland.
"How much do you know about the country in the east, Siyate?"
This congressman was none other than Viscount John Weir, who had provided a lot of help to the Fisher family.
He squinted his eyes, looking shrewd and mercenary. He was obviously a noble but had the air of a businessman.
The congressmen were stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, they began to express their impressions of Syat.
"I know that their country, especially the seafood is pretty good, it can be regarded as a fishing country, but their seafood as a whole seems to be not as good as the Yuehai and Longwan in the west?"
"Lobster, Syat's lobster is definitely the first! Even Yuehai and Longwan can't compare!"
"Syat, my friend bought native slaves shipped from Syat. By the way, there is a special stone on the snowy mountain near them, which is a good boutique in the collector's club."
The congressmen talked freely. Generally speaking, in the upper class of the Loen Empire, few people know much about Syat, a remote small country on a continent.
Viscount Johnville laughed, shook his head and said, "In fact, recently, the eleven-year civil war in Syat ended, and Queen Peggy, supported by the Loen Empire, finally ascended the throne."
"Oh, a civil war that lasted for eleven years? It sounds like a terrible thing." Other members said perfunctorily.
Viscount Johnville took a deep breath.
He said solemnly, "Dear members, there is a more important news. It happens that I found Queen Peggy and brought her to the local big family Fisher in Syat, so she and the local Fisher family will also give me some face."
"So if you have anything you want to trade, hope to sell to people in the four eastern countries, or want to build a factory in Syat...you can come to me directly after this party."
Everyone showed a look of sudden enlightenment. So that's it. Viscount Johnville's "investment" in Syat has come to the harvest time.
He was not only pulling people to harvest Syat's resources together, but also showing off his achievements.
Someone said with a smile:
"You were allowed to enter the parliament because you accomplished this, right?"
Viscount Johnville nodded and said, "Maybe, it's mainly because the Prime Minister can see people and gave me a chance. I think I will do better in the future."
When Viscount Johnville returned home, a very special guest came to his villa.
As an imperial senator, he was already a genuine upper-class big shot, and not everyone could meet him casually.
However, after learning the visitor's surname, Viscount Johnville was very happy to meet him.
"I really didn't expect someone from your family to come to Lorne. I'm glad to see you!"
It was a young man with silver-white hair wearing a monocle, a light black tuxedo, and only one arm intact, with an elusive smile on his face.
"Hello, my name is Kano Fischer."
It was the first time for Kano to come to Kernnas, the capital of the Lorne Empire.
He had dreamed several times a few months ago.
If Kano came to the Loen Empire in his dream, he would meet a mysterious dead person, and that mysterious dead person would bring many things that would even make him unforgettable for his whole life, and if he missed it, something bad would happen.
At the same time, the names of "Antuson" and "Antuson" would continue to appear in his dream...
Kano was very familiar with what the so-called "Antuson" was. It was almost a nightmare that all extraordinary people were afraid of, and it was very scary.
For decades, those who died in the adventure of the spirit world would almost think that they were a person called "Antuson" in reality, and gradually they no longer had their former selves.
For decades, people were completely helpless about this, and even the apocalypses could not awaken the true selves of those people.
As for what "Antuson" was?
No one knew.
Kano thought that perhaps he could find the ultimate answer to the question in the Loen Empire.
In the end, he chose to believe in his precognitive dream, so he came to Loen, the most powerful empire in the world, alone, and because he didn't know anyone else here, he directly found Viscount Johnville.
What exactly does that dream mean?
In any case, he knew that the first thing he needed to do was to complete the fifth-level "Eye of Destiny" promotion ceremony, otherwise the end of his life would be getting closer and closer.
"My life should not be over yet, right? Great Lord of the Lost."
