Chapter 217 Chapter 217
A group of people hurried into a local hotel, slapped the money on the counter, and shouted hopelessly: "Boss! Prepare some rooms for us."

"Okay! Guest!" Seeing the money, the so-called customer service receptionist naturally had a smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "Follow me, our guest room, it can be said that the entire city The best."

To be honest, the conditions here are not bad, and it is definitely a good hotel.It's just that they don't know that there is already a huge building called Silver Fox Hotel here.

Compared with the previous hotels, other hotels of this type seemed a bit substandard.But these people obviously didn't come to enjoy themselves, they just came to take a rest, because they had to rush to another place.

"How many days will it take to get from here to Burnas?" While following the hotel's receptionist up the stairs, one of the elves in the lead asked.

"Oh, it takes about 20 days to go from here to Bunas." The receptionist was about 50 years old, he replied while recalling.

"I'm talking about speeding up the horse, not shipping the goods." The leading elf reminded the other party.

The other party quickly corrected his calculation: "In that case, sir, you will need about 6 days to reach North Ridge, and another 2 days to reach Bunas."

"It still takes so long?" The elf in the head was obviously a little dissatisfied, and continued to ask: "Is there a faster way?"

"A faster way? There is also. I heard that you can change to a car when you reach Ice Crystal City in North Ridge. From there to Bunas, you can get there in about a whole day." The old man answered seriously.

However, his answer was really hard to understand for the other party's ears: they couldn't understand what a car was, so they didn't know what the other party was talking about.

However, soon they heard the old receptionist who led them upstairs continue to speak: "But if you are just sending news, there may be better options."

"Ah?" The leading elf stared curiously at the back of the other party, and asked, "Old man, what is the choice you mentioned?"

"It's like this. We have newly opened a telegraph office here. If you want to send a message to someone in Bunas, you only need to spend money to send a telegram at the telegraph office, and the other party will receive the message soon. "

"Soon?" An elf with a sword on his waist asked in confusion.

"Yes, soon, in a few seconds, Bunas will receive this message." The old receptionist stopped, looked back at the young follower, and said.

"So fast?" This time, it was the leader's turn to be a little surprised. He had never heard of any cars or telegraphs, but he was full of curiosity about these things.

"That's right, it's that fast, but the price is also very expensive. Sometimes a message costs dozens of gold coins." After the old man finished speaking, he continued to lead the elves from afar to their room.

He pushed open the door, looked at the nearly exhausted elves who had come all the way, and asked, "Here are the famous burgers from Bunas, and Bunas pies, Bunas buns, Bonas salted fish risotto, what do you guys want?"

"Why are they all from Burnas?" Another elf frowned, he didn't have any affection for Burnas now.

If it wasn't for Bunas' battleship lying in Nanshui Port, they wouldn't have come here in such a hurry...

Moreover, according to the news they got when they left, Nanshui Port had been paralyzed, the expansion of the kingdom had come to a standstill, the surrounding diplomatic environment had deteriorated extremely, and the situation was already very pessimistic.

The group of them should rush to Bunas as soon as possible, and find a way to get in touch with the Datang Group in Bunas, so that the other party will give up the war behavior of attacking the Yangmu Kingdom as soon as possible, and let Nanshui Port resume operation as soon as possible.

The whole plan included a concession to Bunas and a compensation of 20 gold coins to Bunas. The only thing not included was any condemnation of Bunas' war against the Yangmu Kingdom.

Rather than saying that this is a negotiation between the Yangmu Kingdom and the Datang Group, it is better to say that the Yangmu Kingdom begged the Datang Group to let go of its begging for mercy.

Therefore, these elf soldiers responsible for escorting the principal and deputy special envoys were actually very unfriendly to Burnas.They do not think that the country should compromise, they think that the fleet should be assembled to fight against such an overwhelmed enemy.

It's a pity... They still don't know that the fleet they have placed high hopes on and is about to assemble has now all become underwater vehicles.

"Because they taste good and are popular recently. You don't know, there are too many things about Bunas recently, and no matter what, as long as there is a little connection with Bunas, the price will be higher." The old man hehe With a smile, he answered the young elf's question.

"Sir!" Regardless of his exhaustion all the way south, the leading elf asked: "How do we get to the telegraph office and send the telegram to Bunas?"

"I don't know about that." That's the end of the old man's hearsay and gossip. He doesn't have any relatives of Bunas, and he doesn't need to think about the guarantee that a gold coin will be sent to Bunas.

When the old man left, the group split up and started to move.The leading elf assigned tasks to everyone: "You two go to find out all kinds of news about Bunas, and tell everyone well when you come back."

"You two, go to the casino and bar here. There should be a lot of news there, so try to understand your opponent as much as possible!" After he ordered, he looked at the other two people.

Seeing the two nodding, he looked at his deputy again: "You and I go to the telegraph office to see what's going on over there, and see if there's anything the old man said. It's so amazing."

"Okay!" As the deputy, the middle-aged elf nodded slightly in agreement.He was originally a distant relative of the Augustine family, and he has been acting as the aide of the Marquis Augustin Leibert recently. This time he came here with the envoy to supervise and guarantee the interests of the Augustine family.

"Let's go, let's go and see...that telegraph office!" The elf in the lead stood up, looked around the crowd, and walked out of the room first.

The front of the newly opened telegraph office was still deserted, and there was no business.After all, the price of one gold coin per word is still too expensive for ordinary people.

It is only prepared for those who really understand the speed of information transmission, and it only makes money for the time difference!Therefore, when the negotiating envoy of the elves walked into this telegraph office, he was shocked by everything in front of him.

He has never seen... such a way of doing business: private rooms, each with a maid in a decent dress standing at the door.They are gentle and elegant, and they all call themselves the exclusive secretaries of the guests.

They will introduce the sending mode of the telegram in detail: as long as you have money, you can even write a letter from home and send it to a place with a telegraph office.

Latency is next to zero, and Telegraph provides many related services.For example, if you use telegram for the first time, you can also provide door-to-door delivery service.

As long as you are willing to pay, even if you want to send a telegram to your family members far away, you can send the telegram according to your name and address.

Even, the telegraph office is also enthusiastic about providing customers with mailing services of small gold coins - because they are afraid that the other party has no money to call back, the customer can pay the telegram fee for the other party.

In short, the service here is very considerate, and it also makes the elves sitting here feel a little cramped.Because after listening to the usage rules, he had the urge to send a telegram to Tang Mo.

So, he asked the smiling but freckled little girl standing in front of him: "Well... If I send a telegram to Mr. Tang Mo of the Datang Group in Bunas, is it okay?"

"Of course. But we don't guarantee that Mr. Tang Mo will be able to reply to your telegram, nor that Mr. Tang Mo will be willing to read your telegram." The freckled but cute girl said gently.

The Yangmu Kingdom's special envoy confirmed again: "Are you sure...Mr. Tang Mo will definitely receive this telegram from me."

"If you are talking about the founder of the Datang Group, Lord Tang Mo of the Kingdom of Wright, then this telegram will indeed be sent to his Ming Dynasty, but we do not guarantee that he will read this telegram, nor He will definitely reply to your telegram." The girl continued to explain sternly.

The elf thought for a while and said, "Then, please write a telegram for me."

"As you wish, you can start now. I have undergone special training, but your speaking speed needs to be slower for me to record." The girl sat on the table, spread out the paper and picked up the pen.

"Dear Mr. Tang Mo, I am the special envoy from the Yangmu Kingdom, Viscount Fitral, here on behalf of King Yangmu XI..."

"Well, my lord, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but... I still want to remind you, I hope you make sure that every word sent here costs one gold coin..." The girl interrupted the elves softly, Kindly reminded: "Besides, the cost of sending letters is also very expensive."

"..." The elves were silent. They felt that writing a long letter was... a bit too expensive.

"Why don't you introduce yourself...it's too expensive." For the first time, Viscount Fittral hated his own name. Why didn't his father name him "Qin" or "Joe" back then? What about the name?
Finally, the leader of the elves had a flash of inspiration and looked at the girl who was waiting for them: "Well, dear lady, this is the first time we use telegrams, if you don't mind, you can help us draft a telegram... …is it okay?"

"No problem. This is one of my jobs. You can briefly talk about the purpose of writing this telegram..." The girl's smile became brighter.
