Ambassador Mithran was staying in Hollier for the time being.
The capital of Lassiman was located on the coast, so the temperature was above 10 degrees even in winter. It was not as harsh as the northern part of the Kingdom of Karen. Therefore, the Ambassador did not sleep well after he left the Magic Tower.
Even though there was a warm fireplace in the room, Mithran, who was not used to the climate, still wrapped himself up with three or four layers of clothes. The dry weather made him have a nosebleed, but Mithran did not care at all. After a quick breakfast, he went to the official of the Kingdom of Karen with two panda eyes and asked, "Is there any change in today's schedule?"
For a state visit, the itinerary was basically set. Originally, Mithran had a lot of plans, but after seeing those things yesterday, he was not in the mood to act according to the plan.
"Ambassador, tonight, you and your entourage will meet with Her Majesty Sally the First at the Magic Tower," the official said.
This was also the usual practice. On the first day of a state visit, the ambassador would be received and discussed by the important ministers. In the Kingdom of Karen, the Prime Minister, Roddy, would receive the ambassador in person. This was already a great honor, representing the appreciation and importance of Lassiman during the war.
The second day was the official meeting with the head of state. For the Kingdom of Karen, this step was just a formality, because Mithran knew that the current monarch of the Kingdom of Karen, Sally the First, did not actually participate in the decision-making. In other words, the Prime Minister, Roddy, was the one who was really in charge.
Mithran was still thinking about those artillery trucks. He had no interest in meeting Sally the First, so he asked hurriedly, "Tonight? Is there nothing to do during the day?"
"You can arrange your itinerary freely."
"Um... Can I meet the Prime Minister?"
Mithran felt that he had made a mistake. The Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "The Prime Minister is very busy every day, but if you have something important to say, I can go and inform him."
"That, that, forget it."
Mithran shook his head and went back to his room. After that, he and his entourage stepped on the snow water and went to the "Lassiman Embassy in the Kingdom of Karen."
The reason why it was not used was that the most important "communication circle" was being refurbished. Mithran was an expert in puppeteering and runecrafting, so he had a mage in charge of the magic circle. "Everyone, please hurry up, I have something to report to the council."
But Mi Si Lan's reply was that it would take at least three days to complete. Even though he was anxious, he could only accept it.
Seeing that there was nothing to do during the day, he recalled the arrangements that the Senate had made for him. He asked his attendant to bring the few large boxes that he had brought over to the empty room that was specially prepared for him on the second floor of the embassy.
Mithran had a deep understanding of puppeteering. Before he came here, he would occasionally give lectures to talented students like Naifei in the academy. Most of the reason why Lassiman had arranged for him to be in charge of the visit was to learn about the "fire crossbow" technology.
Obviously, the light structure of the engine and transmission system could not only be used to optimize vehicles, but could also be used to directly match all kinds of weapons of war. For Lassiman, this technology was especially important in the current war situation.
Of course, the Lassiman Parliament did not intend to "steal" it, but to "exchange" it. The few things that Mithran took out were one of the most important bargaining chips.
The main developer of these things was Mithran himself, and because of this, he received the approval of the Senate for the research of 300,000 silver coins. Before yesterday, Mithran was still very proud of himself and thought that he had the pearl of wisdom in his hands.
But now, after taking out the parts and assembling them, Mithran's face was full of uncertainty.
In front of him, there was actually a "flying puppet".
Lassiman had been researching the "floating space tower" for many years. Mithran's project was to create a small flying puppet on this basis, and at the same time, to match it with a magic circle for aerial reconnaissance.
For war, information asymmetry was the most powerful weapon. If the Kingdom of Karen was still at war, this thing would certainly be very popular. But yesterday, when he followed Roddy to the Ministry of Magic, Mithran heard about the "plane" that played a major role in the war.
This news made him realize that the "flying puppet" in front of him was probably not an important bargaining chip anymore.
But Mithran had never seen what the "plane" looked like. He was still thinking about how to exaggerate its role when someone reported downstairs: "My Lord, Prime Minister Roddy has sent someone over, saying that there is some kind of exercise today, just in time to take you to … something called the airport."
Mithran hurried downstairs and found that there was an elegant "car" waiting for him at the door.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he coughed twice. After getting in the car, he found that the driver was just an ordinary soldier without any magic fluctuations. So Mithran quietly used magic to explore the structure of the car – in this 20-minute journey, he was very satisfied and remembered many of the exquisite design of the car.
For example, the engine gear ratio, the suspension and the steering wheel structure, Lassiman currently did not have such industrial standards. This surprised Mithran again and again.
For him, this was no less than giving away a "free" blueprint. Mithran's originally gloomy mood instantly improved a lot, and the corner of his mouth had a lot of smiles. But when he arrived at the airport, his smile froze on his face.
This "airport" was very simple, there was only one runway. It was next to the test runway of the Aviation Research Department, and now there was a giant plane parked on it, even bigger than the "Albatross"!
Although it still used four propellers, its blades and size were different from the Albatross. The cabin in the head position was made of transparent crystal, and at this time, he could see the pilot wearing a flight suit was debugging something on the control panel. The rotating propellers raised the dust on the ground, but Mithran could see that the runway in front of him was smooth, not even a stone.
"This is …"
"Ambassador Mithran, this way."
He was brought to a "Falcon", and under the pilot's guidance, he carried a parachute bag and goggles on his back. After getting on the plane in a daze, the "Falcon" directly took off, and then hovered in the air.
The giant plane then took off, and when looked down from above, it looked like an elegant giant beast. Then the Falcon followed from the observer's point of view. After flying for five or six minutes, below the two planes was a vast white wilderness.
This flying speed shocked Mithran, but then the two planes began to lower their altitude.
Mithran, who was trying hard to look outside, suddenly saw an "empty city" made of wooden houses in the wilderness, because he found that there was no one there, and at this time, the giant plane flying in the sky opened its belly and began to throw out black objects.
Violent fire and smoke rose up, and then Mithran heard a series of explosions.
He gripped the seat tightly, his eyes staring at the "empty city" that had been razed to the ground, his mind blank.
But this ambassador did not know, in the Magic Tower of Holier City, Kardashian was sighing to Roddy: "In order to take the initiative in Lassiman, are you not afraid of scaring this ambassador to the point of illness?"
