Magic Industrial Age

Events proved that Robin Water's efficiency was quite high. He first contacted the Empire's foreign affairs department to help Loya submit the application.

Mainly for the entry application and city construction plan!

Without the city construction plan, Loya's entry application would definitely not have been approved so easily and quickly.

Even without malicious intent, a foreign Earl with real power and a Calamity-level combatant would arouse the vigilance of certain departments.

Helka has a very long history, and in that long history, many things have been repeated.

For Tier 4 powerhouses, they can leave after causing great damage.

But for those in power, looking at the huge mess left behind, their mentality would definitely explode.

With so many messy situations, various bans were born. There are quite a few targeting Tier 4 Calamities, and even more targeting Tier 5 Legends!

So, the stronger you are, the more restrictions there are. Isn't it ironic?

But this is reality!

Of course, a normal visit after applying and registering is another matter.

Loya wasn't sneaking in secretly, but came with a city construction plan. There are huge benefits in this, so it's different.

They may not have studied capitalist economics deeply enough, but they definitely know the demand for a huge market from the magic industrial.

Therefore, Loya wanting to build a city is not just a city, but will drive countless industries and spend countless gold Tinders, allowing countless people to earn pots of gold.

With just this point, they will be very active.

Compared to this huge benefit, the threat brought by the entry of a Calamity-level powerhouse is nothing.

So, after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicated with relevant departments, Loya immediately received a very high-standard invitation.

After the invitation came down, Robin Water immediately began contacting those famous architectural designers in the empire.

Just like he said, if it was just building a castle, they would probably ignore it!

But if it was building a cutting-edge city of the current era, they would be more interested than anyone else.

The huge design fee is one aspect, but reputation is the most important!

Robin Water even used a small trick. When he sent out the invitation, he also attached a statement that I would also send invitations to so-and-so!

These messages came together five days later. Robin Water felt satisfied and wanted to show off his ability to handle affairs to Loya.

However, when he came to the Lionheart Manor, he found that Loya had already left.

With the Empire's invitation, he had already set off for Auckland City two days ago.

This made Robin Water quite puzzled, but thinking about the approaching wedding date, he was relieved.

As for Loya, after receiving the Empire's official invitation, he set off almost without delay.

Led by Grand Knight Commander Alfonso and a group of Lionheart Knights, they took the Raymond family's carriage and traveled overland to the Empire in a high-profile manner.

This can also be considered an envoy. Diplomatic relations between the two countries naturally require a formal honor guard to go openly.

Of course, this speed will naturally not be fast. Loya also didn't have time to wait, so this team was actually for others to see.

Loya had already taken Olivia, Iron Knight Phil, and Flame Sword Saint Otto on a boat down the river to Sea Serpent Port.

Here, he also brought Madam Palacios with him.

The mist spread, covering the harbor, revealing the traces of the magic warship.

Loya leading four Calamity-level powerhouses on board really shocked Walter.

This is not just one or two people!

This is a gathering of five Calamity-level combatants. As long as they don't go to those powerful empires, they can directly take down some small principalities.

It's not that Loya wanted to be high-profile, but he really didn't have confidence!

Before, his plan was actually just to pick up Madam Linda and leave. He didn't even plan to make such a big scene.

But later, after realizing the treacherous situation in the Old Continent, he was unwilling to take risks.

He still had to pick up people, so he made all kinds of preparations. The Empire's record was only part of it. He brought all the powerhouses he could get his hands on.

With five Calamity-level combatants, Loya really wanted to know, who could stop them?

This is Loya's preparedness!

He doesn't have much sense of security, so he likes to do things to the extreme.

It is worth mentioning that, sailing to that unnamed island reef, the magic warship stopped for a while, and Loya met with the Sea Serpent King here.

… …

Night,

In the depths of the mist, a soft light lit up, revealing the outline of an island reef that was mostly submerged.

At low tide, this is still a small island, but now, only seventy or eighty square meters of the hilltop are left.

One side of it protrudes, with the shape of a small bulge, which can be considered a hilltop; the other side is much flatter, like a platform cut out by a knife.

At this time, on this platform, the colorful coral throne is exceptionally eye-catching, with a strong Sea Serpent holding a trident sitting on it.

Behind him, there are several slender Sea Serpent girls, covering their key parts with shells and seaweed, holding several plates of fruits and food from the seabed in their hands.

Looking at their faces, each one is beautiful and charming, with their own style, coupled with long red hair, giving people a pure and seductive feeling.

The most special thing is that when they go ashore, their fishtails actually turn into human legs, slender and straight, with skin like condensed fat.

Loya couldn't help but take a few more curious glances.

Of course, in order to reduce panic, Loya didn't bring too many people, only Olivia and Walter followed him.

Walter was also prepared, took out a dimensional bag, took out a high-backed chair, and put it opposite the coral throne.

Loya stepped forward, walked to the opposite of the Sea Serpent King, sat down, and then faced each other, there was a moment of silence in the air.

This silence is not a sign of tension, but rather a bit of awkwardness.

Just like netizens meeting offline, no matter how happy they chatted before, they are a little at a loss when they see the real person.

However, this silence didn't last long, and Loya took the lead in breaking it.

"Let's get to know each other again, Loya Raymond, Earl of the Flower Collar, I'm very happy to meet you."

Saying that, he extended his hand.

"The Sea Serpent King of the Red Scale Tribe, in your human way, you can call me Alexius, I'm very happy to meet a friendly human like you."

Saying that, he also extended his hand.

The two palms shook in the air, diluting the previous awkward atmosphere.

The Sea Serpent King first waved his hand, and the Sea Serpent girls behind him offered the fruit, and then left one after another, leaving only him alone.

Loya understood what he meant, and also waved his hand, Olivia and Walter all went away.

When only the two of them were left, the Sea Serpent King Alexius then spoke and revealed: "Behind my Red Scale Sea Serpent Tribe is the Naga Empire, the overlord force in the endless ocean."

"According to legend, they are the direct descendants of a certain Ocean Goddess, born noble and extraordinary in strength. Every time they have an extra pair of arms, they can receive the blessing of the Goddess."

"Normally, they and my Red Scale Tribe don't have much contact. The environment we live in belongs to the shallow sea in the endless ocean."

"But who knows, one day, a general of the Naga Empire sent troops, killed nearly a third of my tribe, and attacked the tribe's nest."

"I originally thought that the Red Scale Tribe was about to be destroyed, but he let us go. The only requirement was to let us return to our ancestral land and wait for his orders."

"I had guessed a long time ago that there was something that the Naga Empire was inconvenient to come forward to do, so they planned to force my Red Scale Tribe to do it."

"Even, I think the Naga Empire, or the general behind it, is probably colluding with a certain human force."

"I don't know what their purpose is, but I know that my Red Scale Tribe is definitely that knife. Maybe if I'm not careful, it will be the result of death and destruction of the tribe."

Loya listened to him quietly, and finally asked: "So, how do you want me to help you?"

"Aren't you humans most concerned about gold?

We have accumulated a lot of wealth in our trade, and if needed, I would like to use them to hire you.

If the gold is not enough, I also have silver amber stones, and even, I can help you tame some sea beasts for you to drive.

Sea Serpent King Alexius put all his chips on the table. It can be said that although he has made some progress, he is not a qualified businessman.

Loya didn't agree immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "I'm actually not convenient to participate in your sea clan's affairs."

As soon as these words came out, the Sea Serpent King couldn't help but show disappointment in his eyes, but Loya changed his tone and said: "Participation is impossible, but as my partner, the protection that should be there can be there!"

He stretched out one of his fingers and said: "You are very rich, Alexius, you know this.

If you want to hire humans to help you charge into battle, that is impossible, it will cause an uproar if it spreads, it's very troublesome!

But, if the Red Scale Tribe faces a crisis of survival, I can use your money to hire powerhouses for you, help you fight, and help the Red Scale Tribe get through the difficulties."

"Furthermore, if things are really irreversible, run away, as long as you escape to the territory of the Flower Collar, I will not sit idly by."

"Of course, afterwards, you will have to pay enough wealth."

"No problem, this is what I want."

The Sea Serpent King was very happy, and even the trident in his hand was shaking with a 'buzzing' sound.

Only, at this moment, Loya spoke again: "In the end, this is only a temporary solution, haven't you thought about completely solving the problem?"
