The long and cold winter eventually finished.
Continues entire winter fog finally to start from various Oldern great plains places to draw back the powder, the whole world as if becomes with the spring arrival clear, the daily wind was still cold, but actually already not like few days ago like that cold piercing, the snow starts to melt, the solid ice changes into the running water, the rivulet that the snow and ice-out become flows from Oldern black roofs and spires, infiltrates the entire city in water vapor- benefits several years ago the new-style draining water system of constructing, the melted snow of these ablations can enter the subterranean stream smoothly, people do not need to be worried these come out „brook” will soak badly. The ground of building, therefore the city snow melts also no longer is an irritating matter, instead became alternative scenery.
Is hanging the black carriage of Wender family symbol to roll by the imperial capital main road, the wheel makes the sound in the moist stone tablet road surface, Pedinan? Wender Grand Duke sits in the carriage, on the opens the mouth by glass lap looks at the scene on path.
At this moment is in the morning, the sunlight just illuminated the street, in those days in this o'clock almost could not see the pedestrian moves on the street, but in the line of sight of Pedinan Duke presented many civilians in threes and fours- they wear the thick clothes that the ash throws, wears the felt hat or the yarn hat, is walking in a direction forward, in the cold wind of early spring, these people are trembling slightly, but still the footsteps in a hurry, did not have the stay.
„The worker in textile mill......” Pedinan Duke is muttering in a low voice, „goes out is so early.”
Follows a oneself many years of steward to sit on the compartment opposite seat, this loyal old friend explained: „To encourage new-style factory, your majesty promulgated the kindness government order, transports the vehicles of cotton in early morning to enter a city and not collect taxes, therefore the beginning work time of textile mill is very early.”
„To one hour begin early......”
Old Duke is whispering, could not bear looked at one toward out of the window.
He noticed that more mill hands walk from the main house gate, walks in the direction of factory, saw that is hanging the Empire symbol and labor makes the association symbol the vehicles to roll by a hurry, that is transports the magic circuit components the large cart......
In Baijin Avenue, he noticed that an ancient storehouse had been razed to the ground, that building belongs to Mowry Viscount, but that Viscount had decided that occupied a land top head reeling thread factory that in the warehouse ; In the iron lily avenue, he saw the chimney that sets up high is emitting the billowing thick smoke, that is the newly-built burning carbolic acid chemical plant is processing the dust of productivity can act as the manure......
Burns the burnt odor mist and dust that in the chimney of carbolic acid chemical plant flutters almost to smell here- naturally, Pedinan Duke knows, this is only own misconception.
That chimney has hundred meters high fully, the smog that arranges will only dissipate in the space, may not affect the ground.
But old Duke cannot bear knit the brows.
Factory, magic circuit, boiler, high chimney, lively „investment time”...... seems to brave overnight, suddenly everywhere was, as if everyone is participating, as if everyone was jubilant.
Stayed old Duke of most lifetime never to see anything in the Empire central area to develop like this hurriedly suddenly, he thinks oneself were not a conservative faction, new thing that but these braved hurriedly...... always to him a very uncomfortable feeling.
„The thing that recently in the aristocrat parliament discussed all day turned into anything to construct the factory and cotton bill,” Pedinan Grand Duke is shaking the head saying that „the textile mill that Mil Viscount set up, drew big group of people to invest.”
„The cotton material that after all the new-style textile mill weaves are many and good,” steward said, „I heard Madame Mila also wants to set up a textile mill, but cannot buy machine- machine is insufficient.”
„I may look at the cotton material that they have woven,” Pedinan Duke quite some disdain said, „but is actually solid, what a pity is rough, has no taste.”
The stewards spread out the hand: „......, but to people, that was very good cotton material, Mister.”
Pedinan Duke knits the brows, after the short silence, he can only sigh slightly: „Was I am probably old.”
„You were still the major pillar of this country,” steward said, „emperor just needed you.”
Pedinan has not responded to the words of steward, he looks to the front, the obsidian palace palatial wall is close at hand.
It is said several special messengers arrived at the imperial capital, these messengers brought the continent southern news, and status is honored, the emperor summons himself to enter the palace suddenly anxiously, should also for this matter.
Empire is prosperous day after day, all seem like developing fast.
Why however does not know, Pedinan? Wender always has a faint anxiety.
obsidian palace.
This palatial palace towers there as always, towers in this Empire center, although it is only 200 years ago constructs „new imperial palace”, however this palace deep tone and dignified calm style still brought one type as if to be able the standing and waiting for a long time millennium dignified feelings, after entering this palace, Pedinan somewhat was dreary the anxious state of mind also to stabilize gradually.
He walks toward the reception room that the emperor is, between the boots and Dali stone tablet send out clear knocking, after „nightingale hall”, his footsteps stopped.
Wore the black long gown and facial expression gloomy makings gloomy old Magician to walk from the opposite, an unpleasant rustling sound or creeping motion sound along with this old Magician footsteps, but seemed like 20 over young female mage to follow in old mage behind.
„Sir Duke, good morning.”
Old mage stopped in not far away, lowers the head to express best wishes to here slightly, his sound brings hoarsely, as if brought to start to corrode repeatedly.
Pedinan Duke by top aristocrat proper reserved and proud slightly nodded, and defers to the courteous reception that this Archmagician should receive at present to say politely: „Grandmaster Daniel, good morning.”
Two people soon wrong body, but Pedinan opened the mouth suddenly again: „Grandmaster Daniel, I noticed very much happily you are willing to return to this place- Windsor? Ms. Mapel thinks that is also same.”
„I was also very happy.”
Old Magician and his student got out of the way, Pedinan Duke visits them to vanish in the back of corridor deep place, cannot bear shakes the head slightly.
Windsor? Ms. Mapel's teacher, imperial mage association's once member, Archmagician Daniel? Fred, he once was talented high rank mage, but actually suffered setbacks, the promotion failure because of the research but the personality big change, the self- exile, no one can think the person who such left the Empire highest magic organization some day can also come back, recently, this Archmagician just like becomes man of the hour of imperial capital, he not only in the Empire labor made in the association to shine the brilliance greatly, became the guests of many aristocrat- these people as if forgot for many years ago Daniel? When Fred leaves the imperial capital miserable distressed appearance, because only saw the astonishing income of textile mill, their noisy crowd encircled.
Pedinan Duke was sighing these young aristocrats' when facing benefit ugly appearance, across the corridor, before coming to the reception room of emperor, later.
After the notification, the front door of reception room opened, Pedinan? Wender enters the room, did he first see sat Roseta on seat of honor? Augustus Great Emperor, the line of sight then falls on that several thin and small tall other race person later.
The golden hair, the sharp ear, is taller and slenderer , the gentle facial features human.
Is Elf, Elf from southern Silver Empire.
Really just like wind sound/rumor that before heard, Empire welcomed one batch specially „envoy”, but why these did Elf come?
They must come Typhon not easily- that is half continent distance!
Although in the heart emits some questions, Pedinan Duke has not revealed slightly unexpected expression- he restrains oneself all ideas in the heart, and nods to these Elf politely, later then arrives in front of the Roseta Great Emperor: „Your majesty, I responded your summon to come.”
„Sits down, Pedinan minister,” Roseta? The Augustus slight nod said, „such as you see, our some guests- these Elf brought very important news.”
Pedinan looks to these Elf- each Elf delicately and prettily exceptionally, to be honest, face blind human, when sees Elf their men and women is not even good to distinguish, Pedinan can only according to the attire of opposite party judge that sits in oneself opposite that Elf is a woman: „Madame, sees you very much happily- am I Pedinan? Wender, the adviser of emperor.”
„Siva? Long journey, the silver queen Bell Seti Ya's messenger,” that beautiful Elf opened the mouth- thank God, is really the woman, „we shoulder the important mission: Silver Empire transmits most urgent warning to human various countries, the Wall of Magnificence condition is not wonderful.”
Pedinan? The Wender look concentrates instantaneously.
After the brief conversation, Pedinan knew these Elf purposes in coming, and current situation.
These Elf are warned that human various countries', they are strictly adhering to the 700 years ago treaties of alliance-, although regarding human that is the remote ancient matter- brought the latest news about Wall of Magnificence, according to their views, the deterioration of Wall of Magnificence had arrived at the extremely serious position, even exceeds the degree that Silver Empire can process, but in the winter that discomforting change...... will be only the beginnings of future a series of disaster.
As the Typhon top aristocrat, Pedinan knows certainly that barrier of winter changes- the country that any border and Wall of Magnificence dock can observe that change, that continues the entire three days of flash and sound lets people on border line for anxious, the Empire western area even once entered the martial status for this reason, the winter wolf regiment also sent out an army to go to the western frontier to stand guard the sound on wasteland, but has a false alarm in all these well, the worst matter has not happened.
Now the Elf envoy arrived here, and brought the most discomforting truth: That is not a false alarm.
„We paid huge Price Elf sacrificed 12 Sorcerer and about hundred Ranger soldiers, Highmountain Kingdom sacrificed 1/3 to arrange the mountainous region army corps completely, this successfully restarted Tower of the Sentinels,” Elf Siva said with the tranquil tone, „, but if it damages again one time, perhaps fills in many lives is not insufficient.”
That is not a false alarm, that is a real disaster.
Bad matter has happened- it is only has not happened in the Typhon head/number of people.
Pedinan? Wender felt the tremendous pressure suddenly, but he knows that at present this Ms. Elf has not said things just to frighten people or brought the pressure the idea, according to him the understanding Elf, the opposite party should in the statement fact: This fact does not need any exaggeration, is discomforting enough.
His slightly thinking, looked at Roseta Great Emperor one eyes, later looks to that Elf: „What can we...... make?”
„We do not have the ability to reconstruct Wall of Magnificence, therefore best way before the barrier extinguishes thoroughly strengthens it, establishes the extra protection, reduces the Tower of the Sentinels core system the pressure, to prevent them to be totally damaged,” Siva said that „, but this needs around the barrier the cooperation and help of each country.”
