Reincarnated with the Country System

Britannia Kingdom (25—10—1560 WC)

Imperial Diplomat Joseph bid farewell to the nobles of Britannia, his mission a resounding success. Unbeknownst to the kingdom's inhabitants, however, Joseph's presence was only the tip of the iceberg. Behind the scenes, a network of Imperial spies had been quietly gathering information about Britannia.

In the shadows, a figure known as "Dizzy" watched from a hidden vantage point, her eyes fixed on the departing guests. A skilled operative, Dizzy had been embedded in Britannia for a month, gathering intelligence on the kingdom's military, economy, and politics. Her reports had been instrumental in shaping the Empire's trade treaty, and she continued to feed valuable information back to her handlers.

As the night wore on, the Imperial spies continued their work, gathering information and sending coded messages back to their handlers. They knew that the Empire's success depended on its ability to stay one step ahead of others, and they were determined to provide their masters with every advantage.

In the shadows, Dizzy watched as the last of the guests departed, her eyes lingering on Queen Maria's retreating figure. She knew that the queen was a shrewd politician, but Dizzy was confident that the Empire's agents had already gathered enough information to stay ahead of her.

In the darkness, a faint signal flashed, a coded message sent from Dizzy to her handlers in the Empire. The message read: "EYES ON BRITANNIA. INFORMATION FLOWING. WAITING FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS."

The Empire's eyes were indeed upon Britannia, and its agents would stop at nothing to ensure that the kingdom remained firmly within its grasp.

.....

Dizzy comes to Joseph's room

"Well, Joseph, it seems your diplomatic efforts were successful," Dizzy said, her voice low and husky. "The Britannia's people are eating out of the palm of your hand."

Joseph smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Ah! Minister James was supposed to do these things. But now I have to do all this in his absence. However, I've built a few... interesting connections tonight."

Dizzy raised an eyebrow. "I'm sure you have. But most important things. Did you uncover anything useful?"

Joseph's expression turned serious. "I managed to extract some information from the queen's prime minister, Lord William. It seems they're struggling to maintain their trade routes, and their economy is more fragile than they're letting on."

Dizzy's eyes narrowed. "That's useful. But what about their military capabilities? We need to know if they can pose a threat to our interests."

"I didn't get much on that front, I'm afraid," Joseph admitted. "But I did overhear a conversation between two of their Marquis. They're concerned about a country named the Latvia Kingdom. The Latvia Kingdom is growing influence in the region, and they're considering forming alliances with other kingdoms to counter their power."

Dizzy's gaze intensified. "hmm... I have heard about this country. It is the most powerful country on this continent, which is currently at war with its neighbours. We have to send spies there too."

"I agree," Joseph said. "But we need to tread carefully, we can't afford to underestimate them."

Dizzy nodded, her mind already racing with strategies and countermeasures. "I'll make sure to pass on the information to Sir Zero. He'll know how to use it to our advantage."

Joseph's eyes locked onto her. "Be careful, Dizzy. The Empire's plans are already in motion, and we can't afford to make any mistakes. The stakes are too high."

Dizzy's smile was a fleeting, cold thing. "I'm always careful, Joseph. And I'll make sure that our mission is a success, no matter the cost."

Meanwhile, walking down the busy streets of Britannia's capital was a man named Felix, carrying a brown leather bag. He was an Imperial spy disguised as a traveller.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ah! This road is muddy. How do these people live here?" Felix muttered as he walked through the muddy streets of the capital.

Since the Britannia Kingdom was a medieval country, all roads except the main important or VIP roads were unpaved, so the roads became muddy due to the rain.

Also, the width of the road is not that wide.

So, many times there are traffic jams when many vehicles are moving at the same time. There were no sidewalks on the road, so if you were not careful, there was a risk of collision with the vehicles. However, the residents of the capital walked along this road with ease, since they were used to walking on such roads.

Felix crossed the muddy road and started walking along another street. This street was wide and paved with cobblestones, which is rare in the capital. Also, many of the houses on the left and right sides of the street were large and magnificent. This was an important commercial area of the capital. The people walking on the street here were wearing beautiful, neat clothes, they were walking on the sidewalks along the street, and the carriages driving on the street were also magnificent.

There are a total of six districts in the capital of the Britannia Kingdom. The most developed district is the Royal District, where the royal palace and the mansions of many nobles of the country were located. The Royal Academy and other important establishments were also located in this Royal District. After this Royal District, the most developed area was the commercial district. Here are the business establishments and homes of the country's big businessmen.

Felix finally reached his destination.

He came to a long stretch of wall.

Three towers — each five stories tall — rose from within those walls. Their height was made even more imposing by the fact that they were the tallest buildings around.

These towers were surrounded by several long and narrow two-story buildings.

This was the headquarters of the Kingdom's Magicians' Guild. Here the magicians of the Britannia kingdom develop new spells and train arcane magic casters. They also manufacture and sell magic items here

After walking a little further, he saw a sturdy gate. The latticed gate yawned open, and on either side of it were several armed guards, stationed near the two-story buildings.

The guards did not obstruct Felix

Felix entered.

Upon entering, he found himself in a small entrance hall, with the building's lobby before him. A number of magical chandeliers hung down from the high ceiling.

On the right was a guest lounge that contained a sofa and several other pieces of furniture. There were magic casters conversing within. On the left was a notice board. Several people were studying it in earnest; some wore robes and looked like arcane magic casters, while others seemed to be adventurers.

There was a counter in the innermost reaches of the hall, and there were several young men and women seated behind it. All of them wore robes, and they had badges on their chests which matched the symbol he had seen while entering the building.

Felix quickly approached the counter.

The young man at the counter noticed Felix and greeted him with a look. Felix nodded in return. He was a frequent customer here, so both of them were familiar with each other.

"Welcome to the Magician's Guild, Sir Felix. How may I help you today?"

"Yes, I'd like to buy a spell scroll. May I consult the usual list?"

"Certainly."

The young man quickly brought a large tome to the counter.

The pages of the book were made of high-quality paper, while its cover was made of leather. The letters upon the cover were imprinted in gold, and the cost of this book alone probably beggared belief.

Felix brought the book over to himself and paged through it.

Regretfully, Felix did not understand the words written on it.

However, Alberto had given him an item that could solve this problem.

Felix produced a spectacle case from his bag and opened it.

A pair of eyeglasses sat within.

By putting these glasses on, he could understand the written text.

Felix swiftly yet carefully scanned through the pages, and then he suddenly froze. He looked away from the book, at the girl beside the youth at the counter, and gently asked:

"Is something the matter?"

"Ah, it's nothing…"

The girl blushed and lowered her face.

"I just thought… you looked very handsome."

"Thank you very much."

Felix smiled, and the girl's face flushed even redder.

Felix, the white-haired gentleman, was a person who could mesmerize others on sight. He was good-looking, but the way he carried himself was even more striking. When he walked on the streets, nine out of ten women — regardless of age — would turn to take a second look at him. It was no wonder that the counter girls found themselves entranced by him, and it was also a common occurrence.

Felix's eyes back to the tome. He stopped at a certain page and asked the man

"Could you tell me about this spell…"

"Certainly."

The young man began his spiel.

"[Flutterboard] is a complex spell which creates a translucent floating platform. The size and carrying capacity of the platform varies with the caster's magical power. However, when cast from a scroll, it is limited to a surface of one square meter and can carry a maximum of 80 kilograms. The created board moves behind the caster and can be a maximum of five meters away from him. Since the [Flutterboard] can only follow behind the caster, it cannot be made to move in front of the caster. Should the caster turn around, the board will slowly move to his back. It is primarily a transportation spell and can commonly be seen during earthworks."

"I see," Felix nodded. "Then I'll take a scroll of this spell."
