port of cairo

The Port of Cairo in May is also called the Flower Port. The pink-purple crimson flowers and trees almost transform the entire Cairo into a city of flowers. Looking from a high place, the large pink tree crowns almost block the view. The sunlight outside the window shines through the screen window and falls on the golden teak floor, reflecting The hall is elegantly decorated with faint haloes. The most distinctive feature is the huge gorgeous carpet on the floor, with several groups of square and low couches placed on it. The hall is filled with wonderful displays. The potted plants look like they brought part of the garden outside in. A large oil painting hangs on one side of the wall.

"Miss, we have just received news that the Imperial Navy has assembled a large number of naval warships in the waters of Cassie Island. It seems that the Empire already knows the secret of Cassie Island." A maid in a white skirt opened the door and walked over from behind, with an ugly face. He whispered to the beauty standing by the window sill. The beauty standing in front of the window sill was wearing a pink dress. Her graceful and elegant body exudes the charming charm of a mature woman." It was expected, and there was nothing surprising. From the moment Edmon Mountain surrendered to the empire, it was only a matter of time before this matter was leaked. If it was His Majesty the former Emperor, or still Possessing some real secrets, the current Hérault royal family, do you think that in front of Mount Edmond? , there are any secrets left in the Ayrault royal family. Only idiots like the Vernon family and the Kessett family would believe what the Ayrault royal family said and still hope for those unreliable things. I, the Tamken family, believe even more. To recapture the old royal capital, it is more reliable to rely on the strength of the Erro people themselves! "The beauty did not reveal the news brought by the maid! There was no look of surprise on his face, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on his extremely cold face. His eyes were still looking at the forest-like top of the mast in the port area in the distance, and he said in a cold voice, "Compared with the changes in the Imperial Navy, I I would also like to know why the Imperial Navy did not assemble earlier or later, but chose to assemble at this time."

‘What do you mean, miss, there will be big moves from the empire? "The maid's pretty face changed.

"The naval port has been under martial law for three days, and the Imperial Army has been increasing its troops in the northern part of Erault in an orderly manner since last month. Their swords are drawn and their swords are drawn. If they don't know who the Empire can conquer, The war-savvy Minister of Military Affairs is still waiting for mediation in Barro, Central Europe. I even suspect that this Imperial Minister of Military Affairs has arrived at Eero. I heard that the Biang and Rila people have even sacrificed their teenage children for the Sun Fortress. All started Recruited, it should be these few days when the empire comes forward to mediate, but why do I always feel uneasy?" The beauty paused in her voice, and turned around from the window sill with a sweep of her beautiful eyebrows, with a pair of bright and beautiful light blue eyes. Gorgeous and charming, bright red lip gloss outlines a more three-dimensional facial contour, and an emerald green hairpin is inserted across the high bun, which makes people feel more stunning and gorgeous than the crimson flowers that fill the city outside.

Her name is Atrice, and she is [.] the most popular woman in Cairo Port in the past two months, not only because of her stunning appearance, but also because she is the second son of the Tamken family, the three major marquis families in the south of Eero. Female, president of the Cabrus Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the south of Hero. Although the empire is at war with the south of Hero, But this does not mean that the commercial trade between the empire and the southern part of Eero has also been frozen. On the contrary, because the war has lasted for a long time, the demand for various materials from the empire is actually greater in the southern part of Eero, and the imperial merchants have not been explicitly prohibited from doing so by the empire. Despite the situation, a large number of imperial goods were still sold to the princes in the south of Aero.

The Cabrus Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the south of Hérault, and is also backed by the Tamken family, one of the three major marquises. It can be imagined that the proportion of these southern trades is accounted for, and the second daughter of the Tamken family is even more important. The competitiveness of the Tamken family has greatly increased, not only because of her unparalleled beauty, but also because Atrice is a very famous painter. In terms of reputation, she is only better than Elysian, who was originally known as the first painter in the South. Princess Luo An Keluo almost

"Maybe it's because she didn't have a good rest. I said she shouldn't have bought a copy of the painting in the store in Cairo Port. Fortunately, no one knew that she bought this at the time. Otherwise, if the royal family knew, Our Tamken family has bought a replica of the Scythe of the God of War, and I'm afraid something big will happen." The maid in the white skirt sighed helplessly.

"The Héro royal family has nothing to do but take care of itself, so they still dare to interfere in our affairs."

Atrice smiled nonchalantly, her eyes fell deeply on the oil painting hanging on the wall, and she said coldly, "That oil painting is rumored to be the Imperial Emperor's Scythe of the God of War. It caused trouble in Castle Rock." There was an uproar, and later the empire bought it at a high price, confirming that the seemingly unremarkable man in the painting might be the supreme emperor of the empire. , but it’s a pity that the painting in front of me is obviously fake, or in other words, the entire Scythe of the God of War sold in Cairo Port is fake! I have to admire the empire’s clever handling of these paintings. Being indifferent not only shows the openness and tolerance of the empire, but also completely makes it impossible to know the true appearance of the emperor from these mountains of fakes! "

At this point, Atrice's charming eyes dimmed obviously. The painting described was said to be the tragic decisive battle that turned the entire Ero Empire from prosperity to decline. Although the authentic copy is no longer available, it is not It doesn't stop other people from desiring this Scythe of the God of War, especially this painting that is said to be a rare painting of His Majesty the God of War, in the Barrow region of southern Europe. However, it was purchased at a high price by female nobles from all over the country. They could not buy the real thing, but they could buy fake ones. As a result, various fakes of the Scythe of the God of War became popular. In the Cairo Port in the area controlled by the empire, the painting of the Scythe of the God of War was almost It has become a specialty of Cairo Port. It seems that any shop stall that does not sell the Scythe of the Deputy War God cannot be regarded as a businessman of Cairo Port.

Because what is depicted on the Scythe of the God of War is the battle that led to the fall of the entire Eero Empire from prosperity to decline. One emperor, one pope, and the two leading powers in the south, together, together exceeded nearly half a million people. A life-and-death fight with a heavy army of soldiers. For other countries, this may be like a fantasy painting, with knives and swords, Iron and blood, the two most powerful monarchs in the south, the most outstanding emperor of the Aero royal family, and the Valkyrie of the Order State, are related to the life and death of the two powerful countries. These alone are enough to make people excited, let alone , and the rumored His Majesty the God of War. Although it is just a fantasy, I have to admit the greatness of this fantasy.

There are so many factors gathered in one painting that Ankolo is known as the best painter in Barro in southern Europe. It is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, but for the Port of Cairo, which is just around the corner, this is truly a masterpiece. The great war that took place in front of them was a business opportunity for businessmen, because the painting of the Scythe of the God of War even caused the Port of Cairo to temporarily A large number of painters gathered, and it became the so-called "Southern Art Capital" overnight. Countless painters worked hard to paint every day. Even if they are fakes, they are graded. The paints and standards of the paintings, the Scythe of the God of War painted by painters of different reputations, The price is also very different. The most expensive one can be sold for 500 imperial gold, and the cheapest one may only cost one imperial gold.

Although the names are all Scythe of the God of War, the contents are all kinds of. His Majesty the God of War is on the hills, on the plains, on the fortresses, on the battlefields littered with corpses, standing on the piles of corpses at his feet. , it’s just that His Majesty the Emperor is not painted in the toilet. The so-called true appearance of the Emperor is even more interesting, with hair of various colors, skin tones, handsome, Ugly, strong, feminine, fat and short, beasts, devils, anyway, the real Scythe of the God of War has been returned to the imperial royal warehouse, and very few people have seen the true face of the emperor. Since it is for Products that cater to the fantasies of southern aristocratic women are naturally more likely to be sold at a higher price if they like them. Paint whatever you like.

However, the managers of the Imperial Cairo Port rarely acquiesced to this kind of wanton production of emperor's paintings, because these paintings not only brought huge profits to the Port of Hérault, but also unexpectedly made the Port of Cairo famous in the field of art and culture. The crazy rise has made the entire Obarro know that Cairo Port is the only place in the entire southern Obarro region where painters can make a fortune.

The empire's open policy management, and compared to other turbulent areas, Cairo Port is a stable and prosperous scene. For southern artists living a difficult life in the war, the Sky Temple of Cairo Port is almost like a temple of art. exist

The sky civilization of the Sky Temple has existed for hundreds of years, and the achievements of the romantic and passionate Salander people in astronomical paintings, such as large-scale narrative paintings full of magnificent colors, have made a large number of so-called artists obsessed with it.

What Atrice bought was a rare and inconspicuous painting. She didn’t know whose hand it was. The colors and seasonings were reasonably good, but the concept was frightening. The golden sunshine Below, in the vastness of the northern plain of Hérault, the emperor in the painting is riding a majestic war horse, but where the emperor is looking is the towering city wall of the capital of Hérault.

This is simply a worthless work, because everyone knows that it was the religious group that attacked the capital of Eero, and the empire did not participate in the attack on the capital of Eero, so it is even more impossible for the emperor to appear in the capital of Eero. But everyone who saw this painting immediately turned their eyes away.

This painting is obviously mocking the empire's ambition for the capital of Hérault. It is tantamount to directly saying that the empire conquered the capital of Hérault. Judging from the current situation, when Pope Putamia of the Order State conquered the capital of Hérault, They were all sold to the empire for a low price of one million, which obviously proves this. The one who really wants the capital of Eero is the emperor, not Pope Potamia.

As the center of cultural and artistic gathering in Port Hérault, the Temple of the Sky itself plays the role of cultural dissemination. There are anywhere from 100 to 80 poor painters selling their paintings outside the Temple of the Sky every day, but Atrice is one of them. After taking a fancy to this painting and standing in front of it for a few minutes, Atrice, who was an excellent painter herself, paid for the painting with a serious look on her face.

"It should be Polek's handiwork. It seems that this pirate from the Vernon family has also arrived at Cairo Port. He is still as reckless and reckless as before, and he even dares to directly and implicitly criticize the emperor's ambitions for the capital of Eero!"

After hesitating for a moment, Atrice looked away from the paintings on the wall, and said to the maid with a cold face, "Tell the Vernon family about the gathering of the Imperial Navy on Cassie Island, and give them a word, Imperial Navy Port Martial law has been in place for three days. This is a measure that will only be taken when important officials from the empire arrive. The empire may take big actions in the near future! "
