Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Chapter 279: Festival of Nations

"Dear Mr. Harvey Adrian:

We have found a manor that meets your requirements. It is located on the outskirts of Norton’s east city district. The former mansion of the Duke of Knock has been abandoned for more than ten years. Some time ago, I ordered someone to clean it and renovate it. Although the location is relatively remote, it is surrounded by rich areas, so the environment is beautiful and quiet. There are also concrete roads leading to the city. It only takes 20 minutes for a carriage to drive to the city...

······

Recently, I have been busy with the affairs of the World Exposition, and I am less concerned about Victoria’s affairs. I hope she will not cause you any trouble. The Queen’s term is approaching. Soon, Victoria will be crowned as Queen...

······

Norton looks forward to seeing you, Mr. Harvey Adrian.

Anderson Windsor, written on September 15, 1326. "

Harvey took the envelope sent by Duke Anderson carefully. The letter was very long and the content was unexpectedly large. Harvey had originally intended to relocate his family to Norton, so that it would be much more convenient to communicate with the Magic Association. When Duke Anderson heard this, he slapped his chest and agreed to help Harvey find a spacious and beautiful manor with beautiful surroundings. .

The second is that the current queen of the Barron Kingdom will abdicate next month, and Victoria, who has stayed in Harvey’s house for more than a month, will take up her post. The Duke of Anderson will foster Victoria in Harvey’s side for Victoria’s purpose. Temporarily immune to political influence, Victoria is the next queen, and the royal family and aristocratic forces will inevitably want to put pressure on her before taking office.

The third is the World Exposition scheduled for next year, a national-level project used to showcase the politics, military, and magical technology of the Barron Kingdom. Harvey is no stranger to the so-called Universal Exposition. The Universal Exposition on the earth originated from the British Empire at that time. At that time, Britain was known as the empire that the sun never set, and the sun would never leave the country of Britain. Its meaning is equivalent to that there is a United Kingdom all over the world. At that time, the British Empire was at the fixed point of the Industrial Revolution. It was undoubtedly the political, economic, and cultural center of the world. In order to showcase the strength of the British Empire, most European countries were invited to hold the Universal Exposition.

At that time, the British Empire used glass to cover a building similar to a giant greenhouse. It was called the "Crystal Palace" and attracted the attention of the world. The Crystal Palace became an irreplaceable symbol of romance in the Victorian era. Anything involving Victorian literature or other works It is inevitable that there will be a plot about the Crystal Palace.

In order to demonstrate its national strength, the Kingdom of Barron began to set up this plan a few years ago. It was originally scheduled to start in the next year, but because of the Queen’s abdication and the Norton Royal Music Hall event one year earlier. If it weren’t for the time limit, it would be most appropriate for the World Exposition to be carried out during the Queen’s abdication.

"World Expo? It's interesting." Harvey muttered to himself with a smile on his chin. The most impressive thing in his mind for this vocabulary is the three Japanese animations, a childhood memory "Sapphire Mystery", one "Emma, ​​a British Love Story", which tells the classic British love story, and the remaining one is the most expensive animated film "Steam Boy" in the history of Nizhnomoto. The memory of the first film has long been blurred. The two animations have no Japanese style at all. They are different from the commercial animations of Nihonmoto that cater to the audience. They have a very deep understanding and processing of the era in the UK at that time. For this reason, these two animations are not very popular.

The World Expo has a profound impact. Harvey knows that the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce has already started preparing for the exhibition. This includes the phonograph that Harvey invented and improved several times, the photo printing device optimized by the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, and photography. Crystal and so on.

Garcia’s publishing house is also busy translating Harvey’s works into languages ​​in different countries. There are no spellcasters who are proficient in linguistics. This translation work is a big project that cannot be underestimated, if it weren’t for the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid I can't even find an interpreter if I help.

Not to mention the Count Henrietta, the Phantom has become a major symbol of the Kingdom of Barron.

Shirley started preparing for the move a week ago. There was no hindrance in itself. All she had to say was to persuade the painters from Digini's animation studio to go to Norton. The painters were overjoyed, and were eager to go to Norton, where there were more opportunities for development. Besides, the treatment of Digini Animation Studio itself was exceptional, and none of the painters rejected this proposal.

······

Anderson sent two letters in total, one to Harvey and the other to his daughter Victoria.

Harvey came out of the study and walked towards the game room transformed by the mansion without looking for it. When he opened the door, he saw Lily, Victoria, Ruby the Ruby Fairy, Ice Stone Fairy Ess, and Diamond Fairy Helen concentrating on playing the game. , No one noticed Harvey pushing the door in.

Lily was sitting on Victoria's lap, the diamond goblin Helen was sitting in Lily's arms, and the ruby ​​goblin Ruby was sitting on Victoria's head. Over the course of more than a month, they relied on the game to become a piece.

Corrected, the ice-rock fairy was soaking in the juice as always, lazily staring at the projection that was divided into four screens on the screen.

"Tetris" prop game, multiplayer mode.

Harvey walked over and said: "If anyone wins this competition, I will agree to someone's request today."

Ok! ?

The fairies and little girls who were playing the game raised their ears, and even before looking back at Harvey, they formally went into the "battle". The projection screen of the curtain was turned upside down. Ruby ate the props to make the other three people's pictures in a flashing state. , Lily added obstacles to Victoria that hindered the elimination of the cube, and the pace of the game was more than several times faster.

Soon, the game is over and the winner is Helen, the diamond fairy.

Lily's small mouth suddenly shrank, and she turned her head pitifully, showing an expression that she was about to cry and force herself to go back.

Ruby fairy Ruby sighed very regrettably. He originally planned to finish the ruby ​​supply for a month after winning.

Victoria put down the gamepad and gave Harvey annoyedly, "Harvey, why come to interrupt us to play the game, and go, now it's game time, even if Diana comes here, it won't stop me."

The diamond goblin chuckled slightly, jumped onto Harvey's shoulders, and slipped into the pocket of the suit. She stretched her waist and muttered, "It just so happens that I'm tired too. Then I ask to sleep in this pocket for a day."

"Good night, Helen."

A small hand stretched out of the pocket and shook, "Yeah."

Harvey saw the game results on the screen projection and teased Victoria: "How many days have passed, how come you are the one with the worst score every time I come here."

Victoria confidently said: "I am a human being."

"I am also human, so let's compare?"

Victoria, who had suffered a loss, stared at Harvey with a vigilant look~www.readwn.com~ The little hand raised her hands and snorted, "No, Harvey, you don't count!"

"What about Diana..."

"This... I can win Shirley."

Harvey shrugged, "I think so."

"Yes, this is a letter from Duke Anderson to you. Lily, I'll take you to the living room for dessert." Harvey picked up Lily's petite body and then held up the red wine glass with the ice stone fairy Aisi on the table, the ruby ​​fairy Ruby jumped on Lily's little head wittily and gave Victoria a space to be alone.

"Father?" A dark cloud appeared on Victoria's eyebrows, and she took the envelope from Harvey.
