The Great Seminary

Chapter 309 The heroes see the same thing

With the rise of the True Dragon Kingdom in the past year or two, the New World Port City on True Dragon Island has expanded rapidly.

It was repeatedly expanded on the site of the small ancient well city, and now it is a giant city covering hundreds of miles.

Inside, besides the various steam products, food balls, dried fish, grains, and dried fruits sold by the Zhenlong state-owned enterprises, there were also shops belonging to foreign merchants and companies.

There are also three True Dragon 'Jia' Army units, totaling three thousand stone corpse warriors, which serve as the mainstay of the land-based armed forces.

At sea, there was another large warship, the Fish Dragon, which had been seized from the Ming and Song dynasties through trickery and force.

Three newly built Yunjing Kunpeng warships, weighing 100,000, 35,000, and 10,000 respectively, will serve as escorts.

The flagship of the Japanese delegation, the "Twenty-Seven-Sailing Wind God Ship," was theoretically capable of carrying a thousand people on the open sea, so it was not exactly "small."

But at this moment, compared to the massive 100,000-ton cloud whale-kunpeng warship right before them, it was like a raccoon compared to a tiger—utterly insignificant.

In the Japanese imperial court system, "inner princess" refers to the emperor's sisters or daughters, that is, princesses from the eastern provinces.

However, this does not mean that Japan no longer has the title of "Princess".

Rather, it was because Japan allowed the Queen to ascend the throne that the royal offspring who would be eligible to inherit the Emperor's throne in the future were given special titles: males were called Princes and females were called Princesses.
The sea was calm and sunny, and the New World Wharf was bustling with activity, a testament to thriving trade.

On the deck next to the sun image at the bow of the "Twenty-Seven Sails Wind God Ship" of the Japan-Japan Mission.

The head of the delegation, Princess Naruzuki, took in the thriving scene around her.

Without turning his head, he asked a handsome young man with exquisite features behind him.
"Vice Envoy Abe, what do you think of this city, this island, this country?"

It has the potential to "rise suddenly and rapidly".

In the future, when things decline, a well-timed push might be enough to bring them down, but now their momentum is unstoppable.

"I think so too. Luck may seem elusive, but you can sense it if you pay attention."

This mysteriously appearing dragon kingdom seems to be protected not only by a newly born island god.

A ruler should also possess great talent and ambition, and be blessed with good fortune.

Naruzuki said calmly, "They should not be underestimated."

The young deputy envoy deliberately feigned concern.

"The envoy spoke so highly of the True Dragon Kingdom, saying it has both divine protection and a wise ruler."

"Does that mean they also have the national power to covet the Eastern Continent? Wouldn't they want to fight us two tigers?"

"The emperor of the true dragon likes to openly display his powerful army and giant ships."

What appears to be a show of force is actually a deterrent measure to avoid war.

Furthermore, I have already given up Fresh Velvet Island to 'feed the dragon,' which should be enough for it to spend its current 'new kingdom' which is only five years old.

If I still covet what I desire, then I will have no choice but to first devour the true dragon, and then seek another opportunity to land in the Eastern Continent.”

As they spoke, Naruzuki saw a massive airship, as large as a mountain, break through the clouds and head towards her. Her gaze sharpened slightly.
"That's a steam-powered airship."

It uses an extremely simple trick: boiling water and steaming it to activate the so-called 'piston' mechanism.

It is truly an anomaly that they can create all sorts of practical objects, large and small, in such a variety of ways.

"Seimei, once I've established myself in the Eastern Continent, you should also try leading it."

"Yes." The young deputy envoy bowed earnestly and replied.

"I have disassembled several steam cars, steam ships, and steam furnaces from the True Dragon Kingdom."

The mechanisms inside are obvious at a glance. However, the manufacturing process is exceptionally sophisticated.

Completely replicating something is extremely difficult, but replicating it to a usable level is effortless. "As long as it works, that's enough. Aren't the general public satisfied with having convenient tools?"

Naruzuki said calmly, "That large airship has the emblem of the True Dragon Dynasty on it."

The people who are supposed to be welcoming the delegation have arrived; let's make preparations."

"Mm," the young deputy envoy replied.

After the large airship slowly landed in the distance, there was no major commotion in New World Port City as a whole, but many people immediately gathered around the landing pad.

He made his own judgment: "The emperor of the True Dragon Kingdom probably didn't come."

But those who come must also be high-ranking officials and nobles of national status, almost on par with our Prince of Japan.

Not rude. "

Half an hour later, the magnificent nine-story government building of New World Port City was completed.

The building's surface was covered with thin gauze banners, each about ten feet wide and over ten feet long.

The sign above boldly proclaimed, "Welcome to the Japanese and Japanese delegation to visit the true dragon."
"A warm welcome to Princess Naruzuki, the Princess of Yingri, to New World Port City";
"Friendship first, trade second. Wishing Zhenlong and Yingri continued success in maritime trade."
Located on the first floor of the main building, in the center, the largest reception room was always full of distinguished guests.

The head of the Japanese delegation, Naruzuki Ori, sat on the upper seat on the left side of the east wall, on a large and soft sofa.

Below them, in order, are three deputy envoys, judges in charge of drafting documents, and officials such as the chief clerk in charge of the mission's security.

Across from her, across a long coffee table, on the sofa at the head of the east wall of the conference room, Song Wenhua sat comfortably with a smile.

Below them were the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Commerce, diplomats, and business officials of the True Dragon Kingdom, as well as His Majesty the True Dragon Emperor, who sat at the very back dressed as a business official.

"Damn it, what's this? Great minds think alike!"

At this moment, Zhang Gui was looking down, pretending to be studying the 'copy of the national letter' in his hand, but his eyes were actually constantly stealing glances at the Japanese 'Prince' Mingyue Zhi not far away.

"I'm just pretending to be a minor official under my command, to see what's going on."

But you went abroad disguised as your own daughter, tsk tsk tsk.

This unrestrained 'creativity' truly befits His Majesty Emperor Naruto, the human descendant of the Ōmikami Ōmikami, and the owner of the 'Takamagahara' replica!

Just as the fake official from the Ministry of Commerce of the Dragon Kingdom was lost in thought, the fake Prince Mingyue of the Japanese Empire sat down hard on the soft and bouncy sofa a few times.

"Prime Minister Song, your True Dragon Kingdom really does have its own set of etiquette and rules."

"Your Highness, Mingyue Zhi, my Emperor once famously said..."

'Be a good person and don't make things difficult for others, and even more so for yourself.'

Therefore, as a true dragon, one only needs to do one's own job well, and not act arrogantly or eccentrically; etiquette and rules are essentially irrelevant.

Song Wenhua answered with a straight face, then continued to drink her tea with a smile.

Seeing that he was adopting a "wait and see" attitude and would definitely not ask questions, "Naruki" cut straight to the chase with her second sentence.

"I have come to the True Dragon Kingdom this time in the hope that your country can form an alliance with my Yingri Kingdom and 'end the war forever'."

Song Wenhua was taken aback. "Your Highness, neither your country nor ours has ever engaged in military action."

Moreover, my True Dragon Kingdom advocates peace and has never invaded or plundered other countries.

Well, Huanglong Island was occupied because it was completely deserted. "If Heaven grants it and you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences; if the time comes and you don't act, you will suffer the calamity."

Where does this talk of 'eternal rest of war' come from?
