The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 743: The King Who Does Not Believe

After listening to Agalit's words, the official's first reaction was still disbelief. He looked at Agalit suspiciously and then followed him to the cabin. However, when they saw the boxes of jewelry, vessels, and books,

, after purchasing goods such as clothing, wine, plants, and weapons,

He couldn't help but open his mouth wide. There was a lot of surprise on his face. He swore to the truth that he had never seen the boxes of exquisite goods in his life. Even in the most prosperous port in the Tang Dynasty, he had never seen them before.

I have never seen anything more beautiful than these.

"You...you discovered another country? A country older than China?" The official pointed at the exquisite and beautiful goods and looked at Agalit with a stutter.

"Hahaha." The sailors who were watching laughed loudly. They were happy to see this scene. Thinking about it, they were not like this at the beginning. If they had not experienced it personally, they would certainly not be convinced that they had actually arrived at the Elf's Land.

Kingdom. You must know that their original purpose was just to help the king open up a new trade route to China, in order to break the Tang Dynasty's monopoly on Chinese trade. In this way, a large share of the trade would flow back to

in their ports.

Every king in Europe was filled with jealousy when faced with the increasingly wealthy Tang people. However, faced with the frighteningly large population of the Tang people and their thousands of people all over the Mediterranean,

warships and tens of thousands of merchant ships all over the world. It can be said that in today's era, the Tang people have monopolized more than 90% of the world's trade. So, the wealth they have accumulated

, how amazing is it? Even accountants who are good at calculating accounts cannot calculate this number, because they can't imagine such a scene. They can only imagine that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty lies in bed every day.

In the palace where gold and gems are piled up, people are playing unscrupulously, and even princes and princesses are playing with gold and gems. This is the scene they can best imagine.

However, this is not the case.

Although the Tang people monopolized the world's trade, their daily expenses were also very high. The various overseas territories as well as the increasingly large domestic merchant ships, warships, ports, etc. all needed financial support. The expansion and development of domestic land

, whether it is to relocate the population, resettle the population, build urban roads, sewers, or build a transportation network connecting "straight roads", it will require huge

With the support of money, manpower and material resources. Although the population of the Tang people has reached a shocking 18 million, not many people in the Tang Dynasty are willing to do hard work such as building roads and cities. And these require the Tang people

The fleet recruited workers from all over the country to build the above-mentioned infrastructure. Once people become rich, it will be difficult to do the jobs that they fought for in the past!

Even so, the Tang people always launched some big infrastructure projects. Even if their monarchs were not so talented and strategist, they were not prodigal. Even though some monarchs behaved like prodigal, the current monarch seems to be very sober. He

He knows very well what his country’s ability to monopolize the world’s trade mainly depends on, so he has been constantly talking about it.

He spared no effort to support the military, the country's industry and commerce, and the development of various technologies, schools, and hospitals. He knew very well that as long as these things were built well, he would have laid a solid foundation for the country. Even later, their trade monopoly

Their status was gradually broken, but their country would not become depressed. On the contrary, he left behind the seeds of revitalization!

Unlike monarchs from other countries who strive to enjoy a luxurious life, this monarch of the Tang Dynasty has always been committed to avoiding such prodigal behavior in his children. He always hired famous teachers to teach his children since they were young, and treated them with a little care.

When he is older, let him swim

Visit the people and travel across the country so that they can further understand and understand what their country relies on to rise. With this kind of education method continuing to spread, even if future generations fail to live up to their expectations, at least they will not become completely useless.

And a humanoid seal!

Then, on the next day, a huge motorcade escorted by a group of royal guards along the way drove to Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, because the port officials had already rushed to inform the king of the news.

The King of Castile also became curious when he was stunned by this news. After hearing that the expedition team he sent out to explore the new route, although it did not bring any Chinese

However, it is said that they brought back a shipload of legendary elven goods, which made King Alfonso X of Castile very angry. He believed that his IQ had been insulted, and he

He didn't believe in the existence of elves at all, although there was a mysterious profession called wizards in Europe. However, when he learned that his expedition team had discovered elves, this seemed even more nonsense.

However, after learning about the shipload of exquisite goods, Alfonso X still sent royal guards to greet and escort them. Not to mention anything else, the gold they had when they left the port was all his own. So, the gold purchased and returned

The products are naturally your own, and no mistakes can be made no matter what.

Therefore, the royal guards who received the order from Alfonso X rushed to Seville on war horses and fully armed to escort the ship of treasure!

And Agalit and his crew, naturally accompanied by the royal guards, rushed towards Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile. Unlike the enthusiastic sailors along the way, Agalit was

Thinking about how to make the king believe him. Although he didn't lie,

But if he put himself in his shoes, he might not easily believe what he said. Because it was too ridiculous... Even when he saw it in person, he found it unbelievable, not to mention the king and his wife.

No one in Europe has seen elves at all.

When they finally arrived in Toledo, they were met by the royal steward and other personnel at the city gate, because His Majesty King Alfonso X could not wait to ask about their voyage. So Agalit took

He followed his crew and rushed towards the palace. His crew also received the king's permission, allowing them to enter the palace to have an audience.

When these sailors, who had never had the opportunity to enter the palace in their lives, saw the palace of Castile, they couldn't help but be disappointed. After seeing the exquisite architectural art of the elves, at this moment, looking at the palace of Castile

The palace and the buildings in the city are not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them, they are really too

It was vulgar. Because of this thought, the sailors had no interest in watching the palace. This made the steward who led them to the palace a little surprised. He thought to himself that these mud-legged people were relatively calm, but they had no idea what the sailors were thinking.

Something to think about. Otherwise, the butler would definitely draw his sword and hack them to death.

In fact, it is said to be a palace, but it is not as good as a castle. It has more military applications than daily life applications.

Later, in the hall filled with lights, Agarite met with King Alfonso X of Castile! The king was sitting on the throne, wearing a crown and a robe symbolizing the status of the king, sitting upright.

waiting; and around His Majesty the King, naturally there are nobles of all sizes, they are the real rulers of this country.

Subsequently, Agalit and the sailors began to meet with the ruler of Castile. When the ceremony of the meeting was over, Alfonso X spoke, "I heard that you did not find a route to China, but instead took

Give me a boatload of goods from the 'elves', eh?"

Agalit knew very well the sarcasm in the king's mouth. He said without changing his expression: "Yes, Your Majesty. We were sailing on the Atlantic Ocean and encountered a big storm that was rare in a century. The ship was dragged in by the sea whirlpool. When we woke up,

When I came, I appeared in a mysterious country, inhabited by the legendary elves!"

"Hahaha!" The nobles in the hall laughed without hesitation, even Alfonso X also laughed, "Then, who am I talking to ghosts now?" It was obvious that Alfonso did not believe this at all.

Speech.

"No, Your Majesty, I brought the evidence!" Then, Agarite motioned to the sailors to carry the boxes they brought into the hall, and then opened them one by one. When the goods from the elves were opened, a dazzling light appeared at the moment.

, in an instant, it blinded the king and nobles!
