Chapter 595 Reviewing the Wyvern
Mirror Lake.
The phantom beast knights riding the red pigs of Mirror Lake were speeding across the water. These phantom beast knights were the famous Mirror Guards of the Red Castle.
As famous as Shadow Guard.
At this time, a mirror guard quickly came to the South Arch Gate town and handed a letter in his hand to the guard of the South Arch Gate.
The guard nodded and immediately walked into a newly built tower by the lake.
Five big characters are engraved on the tower - Lei Sheng Broadcasting Station.
The guard handed the letter to the staff in the tower, passed it on repeatedly, and was finally delivered to the office on the top floor by an assistant.
In the office, Princess Anxia was wearing a simple dress and looking for information on the desk.
The assistant gently put down the letter: "Director, this is a letter from the Roundtable of Learned Scholars, predicting the exact time of this year's Ice Age."
Princess Anxia then raised her head, opened the letter, took a look at it, and handed it to her assistant: "Send it to the broadcast room and give it to the host for broadcast."
"Yes, Director." The assistant turned and left.
Princess Anxia also stopped what she was doing, turned her seat, and looked out the window. The tower of Thunder Broadcasting Station is very high, even as high as the Red Fort. It has a broad view, overlooking the entire land and seeing a brand new scene.
"There have been so many changes in the past few years." She sighed slightly.
In the past, when she lived in the Red Fort, she also liked to climb up to overlook the distance. At that time, the Red Fort and the four surrounding market towns were always quiet and boring. Only in the festive atmosphere could she feel the excitement.
And now.
Centered on the four arched towns in the southeast, northwest and northwest, more and more buildings are rising from the ground, more and more cars are passing through, more and more streets are continuously expanding, and more and more shops are opening.
Every day, there is a lot of energy around the Red Fort.
Although Archduke Russell prohibited the development of industry around the Red Fort, as the center of power in the entire country, it obviously also enjoyed the benefits of industry.
The most intuitive feeling is that more and more local specialties from various places have become commonplace in the Red Fort.
Goods that used to require caravans to travel for a long time can now be transported continuously by cars.
"It is said that there has been a breakthrough in the railway under the ice, and the railway connecting the Wenwen Enclave will be built soon. By then, it will only take half a day for people from the Wenwen Enclave to travel to the volcano oasis." Princess Anxia became more and more amazed as she thought about it.
Unless she was riding a fantasy beast, she would have to sit in a carriage and walk for three or two days across the snowfield.
Who would have thought that one day, a round trip would take half a day for ordinary people.
All of this happened in just over a year.
More than a year ago, the Red Keep was still the same, Stormrage City was still the same, and the entire Grand Duchy of Shadowflame was still the same. In Princess Anxia's memory, not much had changed from when she first got married more than a year ago and more than 20 years ago.
"All these changes come from Russell..." Princess Anxia looked into the distance and looked in the direction of Stormrage City.
There, tall chimneys are clearly visible, billowing thick smoke into the sky.
Numerous factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Whether they are sincerely engaged in industry or to cater to the taste of the new Grand Duke, the nobles of the Grand Duchy are enthusiastically embracing industry and following Russell's will.
even.
A factory for producing matches was built next to the Hongying Fort rented by Princess Anxia. Matches, a new product, quickly took over the daily lives of nobles and common people, completely eliminating the matchmaker.
"What an incredible young man." Princess Anxia was filled with emotion when she thought of Russell's overly young face.
At this time.
She suddenly remembered something, immediately turned back to her chair, and turned away a heavy, rough piece of machinery on the table.
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the device: "...This year's warm season is expected to end on January 4th. The ice age will come later than usual, but the ice age may not last very long. Next year's warm season... "
The well-spoken radio host was broadcasting the climate predictions of the Roundtable of Great Scholars.
In the past, this prediction was sent to the nobles in the form of a newspaper.
Now that radios and radios have been successfully developed, there are new ways of publicity. Of course, not many people can afford radios. Especially the current radios are bulky, rough, and extremely expensive to produce.
That is to say, the nobles are willing to spend money to buy it.
Dang Dang Dang.
There was a knock on the door, and then the assistant opened the door, followed by the little princess Kunraya.
Princess Anxia immediately asked: "Kunraya, why are you here?"
"Let me ask mother, how long do you want to work? In a few days it will be the Dragon's Birthday. All the serfs in the manor are on holiday. Why are you still working at Thunder Broadcasting Station?" Little Princess Kunlaya, some asked helplessly.
Ever since she listened to Russell's temptation, invested in the research and development of radios with Marquis Arnold, and then established the Thunder Broadcasting Station, Princess Anxia has never been able to rest.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to promoting radio and operating Leisheng Radio Station.
Became a strong career woman.
"I'll be back, I'll be back." Princess An Xia smiled, "The Leisheng Broadcasting Station has just been established, and I have to worry about everything. It's a bit busy."
"Can't you just leave it to the servants?"
"There are no servants here, all of them are employees." Princess Anxia took her daughter's hand and followed her out of the office. "You need to have a good understanding of the Grand Duchy's new policies, employee system, ten-hour work system, etc. Series of new systems.”
Princess Anxia and her daughter left, and the assistant turned off the radio.
But in the palace of the Red Castle, Russell listened to the radio with great interest. There was also a rough radio on his table.
From time to time.
He also fiddled with the radio and compared it with the radio drawings: "It's really interesting. The radio made using the principle of magic array... This should be regarded as a perfect combination of technology and magic. I really created an industrial era with the characteristics of Longmian Continent!"
At this time, the attendant came to remind: "Your Highness, it's getting late. You should set off to inspect the Dragon Garden and Fantasy Beast Park."
The Dragon Festival is coming, the old year is over, and the new year is coming.
As the monarch of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame and the owner of this Red Castle, Russell naturally needs to show up and show off the majesty of the Grand Duke.
"Then let's go!" Russell stood up.
Then, surrounded by a large number of attendants, he left the hall, and then joined the cabinet ministers to inspect the Dragon Garden.
The Dragon Breeding Garden raises a large number of wyverns, even the wyverns that have been contracted by the duchy lords, have to be raised here. Because the ownership of these wyverns belongs to the Red Castle, to the new Grand Duke Russell.
Of course.
This ownership is public power, whoever is the Grand Duke, the wyverns belong to him.
Elves and fantasy beasts also belong to public power, and when Russell inherits the Grand Duke position, all of these belong to him. However, Russell did not inherit any of the private wealth of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family, all of which were inherited by Princess Anxia and her daughter.
It can be said that Princess Anxia and her daughter are the richest people in this country.
After entering the Dragon Breeding Garden, the wyverns hovering in the sky and perched on the towers all landed in front of Russell and accepted his inspection.
Of course, this is just a ceremony.
The wyverns recognized the Grand Duke's status as a monarch, but they might not look up to him. Grand Duke Kunstan was the best example. He was the nominal monarch of the wyverns, but no wyvern looked up to him.
After the inspection, Russell raised his hand and said loudly: "My wyverns, now you can fly freely!"
"Roar!"
"Ao Hu!"
"Ang!"
"Yo!"
The wyverns responded to Russell, then flew away, circling and circling, and circling and circling.
Russell also turned and left the Dragon Farm: "Next stop, we'll go to the Fantasy Beast Park."
