Chapter 760: The Empress Tina, Whose Understanding Is Repeatedly Shattered!

"Look quick, that magic vehicle is just like a box—it can hold so many people at once, way more convenient than our horse-drawn carriages."

In the capital of the Flame Empire, among the delegation brought by Empress Tina, the noble young ladies pointed at a magic vehicle.

This capital, called Yandu, relies entirely on fixed-track magic vehicles, similar to buses, for its transportation system.

In fact, these magic vehicles resemble the electric trams of the nineteenth century, before Lin Yan's transmigration.

The difference is, no power cables need to be laid.

Instead, empty magic stones are filled with electrical energy to serve as the power source.

A single large empty magic stone can be divided into dozens of parts; each part, once fully charged, can power the magic vehicle for months.

Using magical items for civilian purposes yields extraordinary results.

Of course, electrical energy doesn't appear out of nowhere.

Well, in the Flame Empire now, there are not just one or two hydroelectric stations, but many.

Yet electricity has not yet been widely popularized everywhere—only in some major cities has it been adopted on a large scale.

The advantage of electricity is its broad accessibility and low cost, unlike magic, which has a high entry barrier.

When combined with magic, electricity shines even brighter: all power stations transmit energy not through wires, but by storing it directly in empty magic stones, then delivering it to other cities for use.

Thus, the Flame Empire has no ubiquitous, ridiculously complicated power grid.

Nor is there any energy loss over long-distance transmission.

"The Flame Empire has so many wonderful things—they say all these inventions came from revelations granted by the Lord of Flame. The Lord of Flame is truly incredible."

One of the noble young ladies said.

Along this journey, the sights and experiences within the Flame Empire left each of these noble young ladies utterly astonished.

These noble girls from the Eternal Night Empire, of the highest status, now felt just like Princess Luoying had when she first entered the Grand View Garden.

The arrival of the Eternal Night Empire delegation also drew crowds of onlookers in Yandu.

"Your Majesty, after such a long journey, please rest first. Tonight, I and Empress Qing Ling will host a banquet in your honor."

Meng Ying said after escorting Empress Tina to the State Guest Pavilion.

"Thank you for accompanying me and bearing the fatigue these past days, Lady Meng."

Empress Tina said.

The two women exchanged a few more words, then Meng Ying departed the State Guest Pavilion.

The State Guest Pavilion stood beside a great river, offering excellent views and lavish interior decoration.

The floor was paved with a new material: ceramic tiles.

The firing difficulty of ceramic tiles is not much greater than that of porcelain, especially given the Flame Empire's abundance of fire-elemental magicians.

Of course, current tile production is limited, mostly supplied to only a few imperial buildings.

In Lin Yan's world before transmigration, tiled floors were everywhere.

But here and now, the effect was astonishing.

"Wow, the floor here is made entirely of porcelain! How extravagant!"

A noble young lady exclaimed inside the State Guest Pavilion.

"Yes, I'm almost afraid to step on it."

Another noble young lady said.

"Speak softly—the Empress is right ahead."

A noble young lady warned.

All the noble young ladies fell silent.

Yet each of their faces still bore expressions of shock.

They still couldn't distinguish between tiles and porcelain; to them, the Flame Empire laying porcelain on the ground was beyond mere extravagance!

Ahead of everyone, Empress Tina herself paused slightly in surprise, then stepped forward.

The State Guest Pavilion was vast; Empress Tina would occupy an entire building.

Each noble young lady would have her own room.

Some of Empress Tina's senior female officials would also be comfortably housed.

The other thousands were accommodated elsewhere.

As the noble young ladies entered the State Guest Pavilion, each couldn't help but gasp "Wow!"

Not only was the floor tiled, but the walls were also covered in bright ceramic tiles, and in the grand hall stood a stunning crystal chandelier!

This crystal chandelier had no candle holders—it was a standard electric lamp, and when turned on, it looked exceptionally beautiful.
