Chang'an: "Is Mr. Ye's hometown in the north of Si State?"

Ye Fan thought about it carefully and found that he didn't seem to have a place that he could call his hometown because he had moved around since he was a child. But if he was looking for a place where he would stay the longest, the north was indeed the best answer: "Yes."

"Which city is it in?"

"Woleu," Ye: "That's what you often call wo65."

"I know that city! There is a very famous second language band that also debuted there. It's called the Seck Band."

"Yeah, hehe, I've heard of it too."

"There are many famous singers in Siguo. Singers from Siguo are performing all over the world, and many of them have different styles."

Ye Fan smiled at this. Although his motherland is not very good in other aspects, its music style is definitely the most popular and avant-garde in the world: "Yes."

"It is said that the people of Si State are all good at singing and dancing, and everyone has their own special repertoire. Mr. Ye might as well come..."

"No, no, no," Ye Fan interrupted: "That's just a rumor."

While chatting, they drank two more drinks. The scene outside the window attracted their attention. A child fell down in the crowd and sat on the ground crying. But soon he found that his parents were separated in the crowd.

, then the crying stopped, and his bright and aggrieved eyes searched around, but could not find where they were. Fortunately, his parents found him soon.

Chang'an looked at the child for a long time. After the child and his parents got together, his slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed. But he still looked worried.

Chang'an said: "Mr. Ye, in your impression, what kind of country is Lorraine?"

After hearing this, Ye Fan vaguely felt that Chang'an was hinting at the issue of whether he would surrender to Lorraine. Of course, he still refused, but to be honest, he still had a good impression of this country.

"It should be a very humane country."

Chang'an seemed a little surprised by his answer. Maybe it's because the word "human touch" is not a common description used in the country: "Are you talking about the harmonious relationship between people and between people and the government?

"

"That's pretty much what it means." Ye Fan said with a leisurely expression.

"What if it is manifested in material terms?" Chang'an: "What kind of country would Mr. Ye think it is?"

Ye Fan: "We are rich in land and resources, and we are quite wealthy. Hahaha, this should be a generally recognized fact."

Chang'an smiled bitterly and added: "Maybe it seems like this now. But in fact, our country's economy has been stagnant since 20 years ago."

"ah?"

The crowd outside the window was still very lively, and the backs of the reunited children's family had disappeared into the crowd. The people on the street separated to both sides again, and a singing performance team was slowly passing by on a float. It was for the Earl's Palace.

A team of singers prepared for the banquet. The female singer who climbed to the top was singing a passionate song with a bright look. With the power of sound magic, the sound could be heard throughout Lebanese City, but when it reached everyone's ears

The volume is about the same.

Chang'an: "The rich resources only belong to Lorraine geographically. In fact, in order to survive, Lorraine and its surrounding brother countries have very close exchanges in resources and science and technology. Over the years, for the issue of resource allocation, Lorraine has

There have been more than one dispute between Lin and his brother countries. Coupled with the constant disturbance by the eight villains, Lorraine has been overwhelmed. And almost every item of Lorraine's treasury is empty 1/4 of the time every year.

of……"

"..." This was really unexpected by Ye Fan.

"The empire has not interfered in the politics between brotherly countries for many years. Lorraine, as one of the countries with the closest ties to the empire, has also been passively cut off from resource exchanges with the empire early on, and has not received any assistance."

Ye Fan suddenly remembered the "free-stocking policy" that existed many years ago. On the surface, the San Femenos Empire let its subordinate countries fly in glory, and the small countries no longer needed to pay tribute. But when he heard what he said,

Saying that, I can’t help but wonder...Is this really the case?

"We have also thought about setting our sights on a place rich in resources... Mr. Ye, does he know about the huge Sedrov Jungle? Do you know why the creatures in it look so strange?"

Ye Fan shook his head.

Chang'an explained: "Because the magic power there is extremely rich, and it is quite pure and mild magic power... No, it should be called divine power... According to legend, it was during a holy war in ancient times that Dragon King Mengqing used his divine power to

The result of pouring into it. If the warlock's assessment is not wrong, the power hidden below may be richer than the entire Eastern Land... In the past few decades, not only Lorraine, but also various brother countries have had the idea of ​​​​developing the big jungle, including

Siguo where Mr. Ye is located. But..."

But the Seydrov River Protection Act.

Ye Fan still knew about this kind of thing.

Because of this protection law that was in use 50 years ago, any party that does anything serious against the Seydrov Jungle will be subject to joint sanctions from all countries. The biggest advantage of this law is that it protects the green forest.

Precious life. It is a very good example of human beings' respect for the natural world.

At this point, most people still have no complaints. But as the two countries closest to the big jungle, the Principality of Slemi and the Principality of Lorraine, this kind of maintenance is a sacrifice that I don’t know how to evaluate. Slemi and Lorraine

Lin was like two trained domestic dogs, staring at the sizzling fat and fragrant steaks on the table, but they had to obey the instructions of others and not move.

At this point, Ye Fan finally understood Lorraine's difficulties.

"Although the exchanges with the Empire are not as good as before, Lorraine still has to send a considerable number of talents to the Empire every year. Basically, the only ones left in Lorraine are the seniors who have made great contributions. Although manpower is not a commodity,

That is also the power that can bring about change." Chang'an drank another glass of wine and continued: "Because of this, Lorraine also wanted to open up his own way to introduce foreign forces. But this has never really been realized.

"

Ye Fan could suddenly understand why Anastasia said those words in the interrogation room. She would rather risk the disagreement between the top leaders of the two countries and try to poach them away. Thinking about it now, such a persuasive attitude is definitely not what Anna wants.

What Tasia or someone behind her means is that their organization is responding to the country's general needs... It's just an act to stop its own decline and even prepare for disaster.

…

The singing group on the street had already left, and since most of the crowds were chasing the stars, the street seemed a little empty at this time.

Chang'an: "Our country is dying. In terms of the outcome we are heading towards, it is no different from those countries in the world that have been destroyed due to war."

Ye Fan didn't understand the situation on this continent. In his impression, the Principality of Lorraine was quite peaceful. But after hearing Chang'an's sigh, he had a different feeling. It was a very strange and subtle anxiety.

.

I always feel that this kind of anxiety does not only appear when I think of Lorraine.

"I don't mean to complain about anyone. I don't think some of the empire's policies are unreasonable. I just feel... I just feel it's a pity. If Lorraine just dies like this, then this land with rich and colorful humanities and

The fertile soil of the story, this emerald gem set in the west of the empire, will disappear from the world and can only be recalled in the memory of history."

Ye Fan suddenly thought of something important: "But now you have Wang Ma's ghost."

"Yes, with the power of the Horse King, the Earl's family should become a great driving force for Lorraine..."

Although he said this, there was no joy in Chang'an's tone, and there was still a hint of worry. Maybe there was something hidden that Ye Fan didn't know about.

At this time, the witch's voice sounded in the tavern: "Look, I said he was here."

There was another voice, Pella's: "This locator actually works again. It wasn't accurate the last time I used it."

Witch: "...You ran into the belly of the devil whale and were washed into the sea. Can you find someone to blame?"

The two walked towards him, but he just stared at them with wide eyes.

"Xiaoye, you -" Before they could finish their words, they saw Chang'an Sabstil opposite, and their hearts raced. While their expressions were still calm, they quickly added: "I'm sorry for admitting the wrong person."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and run away, but was stopped by Chang'an's "Miss Weiqu, Miss Pera".
