207~ Exploring Toward the Sea?~
"Hm hm hm~"
Miss Xiao Bai crossed her legs, casually leaning against the backrest.
It seemed she had just vented, so her temper wasn't as explosive now.
"How much longer until we arrive?"
"For this journey, probably still about one more day."
They were currently located at the border between the Eastern Region and Western Region. Because three people had to sit in the same carriage, plus there was a small army escorting them, it would take a certain amount of time to reach Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
Elysia sat to the side in silence. She didn't want to say anything more to Xiao Bai. These past few days, she had discovered that Xiao Bai was the type without even a bit of common sense, which could be seen from how she casually blasted and killed another country's soldiers.
Completely unconcerned that her actions might trigger a war between the two countries.
Although Scarlet Phoenix Nation didn't need to worry about Raider Empire launching an attack on it, if they really did start fighting, Scarlet Phoenix Nation's speed of recovering the regional economy would be slowed down again.
Fortunately, Xiao Bai wasn't a citizen of Midias Empire. Otherwise, if Midias and Raider Empire went to war, the already struggling Abundance Order would face an even more severe situation. Whether it could even survive would be an unknown.
Although they had the help of Midilayo, this deity, after all, deities almost never interfered in matters between humans. At most, they would add more blessings for them, but this also couldn't allow the Abundance Order to remain unscathed amidst the chaos of war.
The Divine Power on this Miss Xiao Bai didn't belong to Midilayo. In her view, this meant Xiao Bai was a messenger of another deity.
Add to that Midilayo actually telling her that no matter what, she absolutely couldn't try to anger Xiao Bai. This really made it hard not to be curious about Xiao Bai's true origins.
The little Princess personally sent a letter saying that if Midias Empire sent both her and Xiao Bai to Scarlet Phoenix Nation, the Empress could consider exempting Midias Empire from war. The royal family members of Midias Empire also all agreed one by one, directly packaging the two of them off to Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
As for whether the little Princess would lie, this point didn't really need worrying about. What royal families valued most besides maintaining rule was reputation. If reputation was ruined, for the royal family, the impact would be extremely great.
And the little Princess was not only the First Princess of Glaze Nation, but also the Imperial Consort of Scarlet Phoenix Nation. If there were some reputation-damaging matters, who knew how much the citizens of both countries would gossip about it every day. It would also indirectly reduce the citizens' trust in the royal family, thereby weakening the royal family's control over their country.
So maintaining a good external image was extremely important, except for monsters like Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Empress who ruled the country through sheer strength.
"Mm... otherwise I'll just go myself. You guys slowly take the carriage. I want to go see Mo."
Xiao Bai twirled a strand of hair around her fingertip.
She was really getting somewhat impatient from waiting. She wanted to see Mo right now, to see what this "younger sister" who shared the same source as her master was all about.
"Saint Maiden..."
"Shut up! If I hear you call Mo Saint Maiden again, I don't mind solving you right here on the spot!"
Who could just casually address Master's younger sister!?
And that Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Empress, such guts, actually daring to imprison Master's younger sister. Her courage really grew fat!
As a Divine Beast under Xuan's command, she naturally had to protect her master's "younger sister." No matter what kind of person this master's "younger sister" was, as long as her master still acknowledged this "younger sister" for one day, she would regard the little Princess as her second master.
"..."
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Elysia shook her head. Immediately after, she only saw Xiao Bai jump out of the carriage and directly summon a white wolf with a casual gesture. Riding on it, she rushed toward Scarlet Phoenix Nation's direction at a speed incomprehensible to the naked eye.
Hopefully Saint Maiden would be alright...
But it should also be impossible. Since this Miss Xiao Bai cared so much about Saint Maiden, she shouldn't do anything dangerously inappropriate.
And the facts also verified her thoughts...
Rustle rustle rustle...
The little Princess wrote furiously at the desk, writing who knows what number letter to her cheap Father the King. This method of communicating with her Father the King, she seemed to have long grown accustomed to.
"Princess Mo! Sweets are here!"
"Mm, just put them to the side."
The little Princess's fingertip lightly tapped the only remaining empty spot on the desk. This was a space she specially cleared out to make it convenient for the little loli maid Xiyan to place the sweets.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, today's snacks are your favorite Portuguese egg tarts and blueberry toast! And black tea!!!"
Black tea, no matter where she went, the little Princess liked to have a cup of black tea during daily tea time. This was probably inherited from her previous life's habit.
"Slurp~"
After taking a light sip of black tea, the little Princess continued writing the letter she was sending to her cheap Father the King.
"Princess Mo? What are you writing? You look so happy?"
The smile at the corner of the little Princess's mouth was already unstoppably leaking out.
"Nothing, just replying to my Father the King."
From the contents of the letter, her Father the King had seriously followed her advice not to excessively rely on her suggestions, but to find inadequacies within them and add his own ideas to improve them.
Her Father the King had done it. From the system that she had only theoretically established, he improved it into one that could truly be implemented in reality, while also re-implementing experiments in the region originally managed by her.
The results were very gratifying. The system could operate relatively perfectly. There were no big problems. They just needed to solve those small issues one by one, then they could slowly begin implementing it nationwide.
Once this system was successfully implemented, Glaze Nation might welcome a qualitative improvement. The entire judicial system would undergo complete renovation. The already low crime rate would drop even lower.
This way, they should be able to attract merchants from many regions to come to Glaze Nation for development, thereby stimulating Glaze Nation's economy, right? At that time, Glaze Nation also wouldn't need to worry about many basic infrastructure projects being unable to be implemented due to insufficient fiscal revenue.
As a country adjacent to the ocean, developing maritime navigation was definitely indispensable. After she proposed this idea to her Father the King, she received strong support.
At a time when all countries currently didn't have the capability to build ships that could leave the land and truly explore the sea, Glaze Nation taking the lead in dispatching fleets to explore the ocean, this move would definitely be recorded in history!
Most, most, most importantly, if a new continent was discovered, it meant Glaze Nation's international status would rise in a straight line. Although currently the situation was Scarlet Phoenix Nation dominating alone, and it was extremely likely that in the future, the entire Eastern Region would only have Scarlet Phoenix Nation and Glaze Nation left...
But if they could severely boost Glaze Nation's development in this way, develop toward other continents, maybe it could bring Glaze Nation's strength to align with Scarlet Phoenix Nation's, even able to directly face off against Scarlet Phoenix Nation head-on!
In any case, right now, Glaze Nation under governance could be said to be thriving. Whether it was technology or systems, both were developing rapidly.
