The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 896

Chapter 896

After leaving the room, Du Lei found Sandro, the deacon of the mansion that received him yesterday, and made some requests, which Sandro accepted.

After all, Du Lei was a distinguished guest from Storm City at this time. No matter what request he made, Sandro had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, with his authority alone, he was able to call the shots in this matter, and soon he led Du Lei to the reception room, where someone was waiting for him.

Although Sandro didn’t say who was waiting for him, Du Lei soon noticed that the defense in the mansion was much tighter.

Not only was there a lot of guards, but Du Lei also noticed that there were a lot of secret guards nearby, and these secret guards were all very powerful magicians.

Compared with yesterday’s security level, this is a complete increase of more than one level. In Rainstorm City, it is naturally not him who can enjoy such a security level, so when he sees a 30-year-old in the reception room When the man left and right, he was not surprised at all.

The man was dressed luxuriously and had an elegant temperament. When Du Lei entered the room, he was making tea, and his movements were skillful and decent.

It can be seen that he is well maintained, and he is a very attractive man.

You don’t need to guess that this man must be the owner of this mansion, and also the owner of Rainstorm City, Jester.

“You are Mr. Du Lei, please sit down.” Jester waved for Du Lei to sit opposite him.

“I didn’t expect Master Jester to have such a leisurely feeling.” After sitting down, Du Lei noticed that there was a layer of gauze wrapped around Jester’s abdomen.

It can be seen that he had just been wounded, and it was still a gunshot wound.

“This makes you laugh, Mr. Du Lei. This is what I learned from the merchants from the East. This is the tea they brought over. It costs two gold coins for just this, which is more expensive than the wine in my winery. .” Jester gently brewed a cup of tea for Du Lei.

“Oriental tea? I have also seen it in the book. This tea is fried after a variety of processes. The color is clear and bright, and it exudes a delicate fragrance. Long-term drinking is good for the body.” Du Lei points Nodded and said.

“Mr. Du Lei is really knowledgeable, and it is true. In fact, the cost of such a bit of tea may be less than a silver coin, maybe even less, but after packaging by the merchants, it can be sold at such a sky-high price. It’s really hateful.” Jester said with emotion.

“If it’s in the East, it’s definitely worthless, but they have gone through a long journey and crossed the huge cliff to the Western Continent. It is understandable to sell them at higher prices. They have invested a lot of cost.” Du Lei said indifferently.

“Mr. Du Lei made sense, but you have overlooked one point. Now that the railway runs through the two continents, it only takes half a month to get from the eastern continent to the western continent. This is compared to the journey of several months before. It has been shortened too much, but the price of tea has not dropped at all compared to before. What do you think is the reason for this?” Jester asked rhetorically.

“This…” Du Lei asked him to stop at once, although he had read a lot of books and visited a lot of places.

But he didn’t know much about the connection between the East Continent and the West Continent.

“It’s the country of sand.” Jester told Du Lei the answer to his question.

“The land of sand? Is it a transit point between the east and west continents?” After Jester reminded Du Lei, he remembered that there is a place between the east and west continents that cannot be bypassed, that is, the land of sand, because of the big railway. It is not complete. Due to geological reasons, when the Great Railway was built, the Great Railway was divided into two sections within the territory of the Kingdom of Sand.

One section is from the Western Continent to the Kingdom of Sand, and the other end is from the Kingdom of Sand to the Eastern Continent.

This gives the land of sand unique geographical conditions.

“Yes, the country of sand used to be a very poor country, but many years ago, when the Duke Lin Ye of the Canglei Empire built the big railway, he chose the country of sand as a transit station, so the poor country of sand As for the rise, whether it is from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent, or from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, he will charge protection fees at both ends. It is precisely because of the existence of the Kingdom of Sand that the cost of merchants rises, and the price of tea shipped to our Western Continent. It’s so expensive,” Jester said softly.

“The Canglei Empire… is it a powerful empire that suddenly disappeared fifty years ago, lost in history?” Du Lei is no stranger to the Canglei Empire.

It is difficult to find traces related to the Canglei Empire if you simply look for it in books.

But as his position improved step by step, he gradually discovered the existence of this country.

After all, some of the people he met before, such as the Night Crow and the Cardinals, seemed to be related to the Canglei Empire.

According to what Du Lei learned, this was a powerful country that occupied most of the Western Continent in its heyday.

The steam technology also appeared during the time of the Canglei Empire, including the large railway that traverses the east and the west. The Canglei Empire also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build. In the dust.

Moreover, all countries have tacitly erased this country from the textbooks.

It’s just that it’s not easy to erase the traces of a country’s existence, Du Lei learned a lot after spending a little bit of effort.

“Yes, if there is no Canglei Empire, I am afraid that we would not be able to enjoy the many conveniences nowadays. We can’t travel by train. I’m afraid we can only take a carriage, let alone use electric lights. We can only continue to light candles.” Jester pointed to the lamp and said.

“It’s true.” Du Lei nodded, and he agreed with what Jester said.

“It is clear that the Canglei Empire has made great contributions, but has been forgotten in the dust of history. What a heartbreaking thing, what do you think?” Jester said with some regret.

“Although I don’t know much about the Canglei Empire, I think that the destruction of any country is not sudden. There must be reasons, maybe external reasons, maybe internal reasons, and the Canglei Empire is probably no exception.” Lei thought for a while and said.

It can be seen that Jester has a lot of research on the Blue Thunder Empire.

“Maybe this reason has nothing to do with Duke Lin Ye, the founder of the empire.” Jester said with emotion.

“Duke Lin Ye, that is a great man who has led the entire era.” Du Lei nodded and said.

Although his name was erased from the book, when he was the inspector general, there were many other ways to get records about the Canglei Empire.

After all, during that time he was so worried about the appearance of Night Crow and Cardinal, so he wanted to find out what happened to the Cang Lei Empire.

After investigation, he learned that the predecessor of the Canglei Empire was the Lionheart Empire, which was originally a powerful country on the mainland. It was also after a series of turbulent events that the Lionheart Empire completed the change of power, and finally joined the surrounding countries. Merged and formed the Canglei Empire.

It can be said that this is an unprecedented Big Mac in the history of the Western Continent. Although Lin Ye at that time was not the king of the Canglei Empire, but just the identity of the Duke of the Far East, but he has an undoubted influence on the mainland, no matter it is Humans are orcs, or elves follow his orders.

Under the strong integration of the Duke of the Far East, almost exhausted the power of the entire Western Continent. Only then was the railway network extending in all directions built, and the huge cliff known as the Tianmo was opened in one fell swoop, connecting the east and west continents together. Affected the times.

Someone commented on the actions of the Duke of the Far East, which promoted the history of the Western Continent for at least two hundred years.

There are not many people who can leave a name in history, and there are only a few people in each era.

But the name Lin Ye is destined to be the most shining existence in the recent 500-year history of the Western Continent.

Even if his name is temporarily banned by various countries, Du Lei has enough reason to believe that sooner or later his name will appear in the textbook again, so that later generations will remember it.

“Yes, we are able to have a stable life now, but it is all thanks to him, but people are always forgetful and despicable. They betrayed Master Lin Ye at the peak, and they collapsed in an instant. The Canglei Empire caused this unprecedented Big Mac to fall apart in an instant.”

Jester was full of emotion, even a trace of resentment.

“Betrayal? What does this mean?” Du Lei frowned.

“The Canglei Empire is a huge empire formed after merging with the surrounding countries on the basis of the Lionheart Empire. These countries originally had many conflicts with each other, but most of them had good personal relations with the Duke of the Far East, and were convinced. His personality charm, and in order to realize his great ideals, the Lord Duke of the Far East integrated the resources of several countries and began the construction of huge infrastructure, especially the excavation of huge cliffs, and the construction of a railway network through the east and west continents until today. , Will also think this is a very incredible thing.”

“It is true. Even with the current level of productivity, I am afraid that there is no way to accomplish such a great feat.” Du Lei nodded, and he also admitted this. To complete that huge workload, it is not the current country. , Or which countries can do it.

This can only be achieved by focusing the power of almost everyone in an era.

It is very difficult to achieve this. In the past five hundred years, there was only the former Duke of the Far East.

“Master Lin Ye disappeared after completing the construction of the Great Railway.”

“Nowhere?” Du Lei began to realize that the problem was with Lin Ye.

“Yes, it can be said that he is a man standing at the apex of the times, and the most powerful person in the entire Western Continent. There are not many people in history comparable to him in power. In fact, there is nothing wrong with calling him the’Great Emperor’. Place, but he suddenly gave up all power and disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the world, as if he was sent by a god to save mankind…No, he was the god of the last era, because he exists, so No one in the entire Western Continent dared to make a mistake, everyone could only obey his orders, but when he left, the situation changed.” Jester said with emotion.

“In history, when such an iron-fisted figure leaves, it will cause turmoil, right?” Although Du Lei didn’t know much about the Duke of the Far East, he was familiar with history and turned the yellowed pages of the book. Find a lot of examples.

“Mr. Du Lei, you are right. Master Lin Ye’s personal charm is undoubted, but you must know that building a huge railway network is an extremely wasteful thing of manpower and material resources. Countries are unwilling to contribute and consume The money in China is also an astronomical figure. It is inevitable that accidents will happen when constructing such large-scale projects. Many people have died by the railway. This has attracted complaints from those ignorant people who seem to have forgotten. Master Lin Ye, they are still living in the chaos of war, where can they have a stable life?” Jester said mockingly.

“What happened later? What happened?” Although Du Lei knew something about the Blue Thunder Empire, he didn’t seem to have as much information as Jester.

“In the first time Master Lin Ye left, his old ministry was able to hold back the situation, because no one knew when Master Lin Ye would return. His personal prestige was suppressed for nearly ten years, but ten years. From now on, Master Lin Ye remained silent, and people no longer believed that he would come back, so those careerists were all ready to move. Compared with the old times, Master Lin Ye has drastically transformed the new era with greater temptation. Strongly, the careerists took actions one after another, and the Canglei Empire began to split. In just one year, the entire empire fell apart. The original Canglei Empire was divided into seven and divided into seven countries.”

“Which seven countries?”

“They are the current country of snow, wind, mountain, swamp, thunder, flame, and rain.” Jester replied.

“It turns out that this is the case. These seven countries are currently strong countries. Just the two merged together will be very strong. If it is seven…” Du Lei nodded. If the boundaries of these seven countries are added to Together, it was really an amazing Big Mac.

“Now the Canglei Empire has been destroyed for fifty years. It’s ridiculous that those stupid people accused Lin Ye of being too cruel and forcing them to build such a huge project, but Mr. Du Lei, you see now, people enjoy their travels. Isn’t it funny and unfair that Master Lin Ye has brought the convenience he denies the existence of Master Lin Ye?”

“I think the Duke of the Far East didn’t account for these things. When he chose to complete this great ideal, he might have thought about the consequences.” Du Lei thought for a while and said.

“It’s not right.” Jester shook his head and said.

“No? What’s wrong?” Du Lei frowned.

“Master Lin Ye’s ideals have not yet been fully implemented.” Jester said calmly.
