But immediately, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The next day, when the Imperial Capital people saw the name "Old Sen," everyone’s work hours, efficiency, and enthusiasm rose by more than 50%, leaving the Queen utterly baffled.
In her original concept, erecting statues was the most common form of church dedication. However, the name "Old Sen" seemed to activate some sort of magic spell, awakening the inner strength of the Empire’s people.
"The Royal Family visited the adventurers of the Hunter’s Guild and got the answer from them."
Sophia cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound like a professional journalist, "Some of the hunters interviewed mentioned the difference between ’Old Sen’ and the true Divine Spirit. They believed that the title of the Divine Spirit was too distant for them, only making people want to go to churches or altars, kneel before them, and feel the cold and majestic gaze of the Divine Spirit. But ’Old Sen’ was like one of them, seemingly fighting the minions of the Evil God in some unseen place just like they were."
When people connected "grand plans" with "comrade," they gained an endless source of strength.
In different people’s imaginations, Old Sen could be a hunter, a craftsman, or even someone completing those inconspicuous tasks just like them.
This way of thinking is spreading from the Imperial Capital to the cities across the Empire.
"So, Lord Ethan, may I call you Old Sen?"
Princess Sophia’s beautiful blue eyes sparkled, believing that the series of changes triggered by the statue was part of the plan.
Even her mother did not realize Ethan’s foresight in many matters.
Ethan nodded, but in reality, he never intended to spread any ideology through the statue.
The Imperial Capital people were truly imaginative.
"Great, Old Sen, I have another favor to ask."
Sophia’s smile grew brighter, trying to hide her nervous heart.
She had begged her mother for a long time to get this private meeting with Ethan, and the purpose of this trip was a place she yearned for the most.
Under Sophia’s lead, Ethan and his companions arrived at the Imperial Square, also seeing the statue several meters high labeled "Father of Electric Wheelchairs and Automobiles."
The place was crowded, almost including all groups of the Imperial Capital.
Commoners, craftsmen, great nobles, Knights of the Kingdom Army, magicians of the Astrology Guild...
Under the witness of "Old Sen," a war without smoke had unfolded.
People stood sternly on both sides of the road, waiting.
On the square, the three rows of contestants silently tuned their vehicles—various electric wheelchairs printed with highly personalized patterns, many sharing colors and composition styles, indicating they belonged to the same team.
Ethan even recognized a familiar figure among the contestants.
Rowena, with a stern face, as if she had once again become an Imperial fugitive. This content belongs to novel~fire~net
She no longer wore that somewhat shabby self-made magic robe, but was now adorned in a fancy dress with a palace design style, and topped with a pointed magic hat belonging to the Astrology Guild.
No laughter, no jokes, at this moment Rowena’s eyes contained only victory.
"That is Miss Rowena, now the strongest racer in the Imperial Capital!"
Sophia’s cheeks blushed and her breathing became rapid.
Moreover, Rowena had formed a team capable of matching the level of a galactic battleship, contributing many earth-shattering races, with the Imperial Knight Commander also being a top racer.
During her time back in the Imperial Capital, Sophia had been pondering her future goals, and after witnessing a race, she found it.
"I’ve heard about your relationship with Rowena, could you introduce me to her? I’ll do anything I can!"
Sophia voiced the request hidden in her heart, and as she spoke, she earnestly hugged Ave’s arm.
This is her future path!
She fell in love with the feeling of racing, enjoying the sensation of speeding through the Imperial Capital, and it was only natural that Rowena, the undisputed king of this race, became the person she admired the most.
She wanted to be part of the team, and ride a galactic battleship alongside Rowena for a lifetime.
