Sword of Daybreaker
Chapter 756: The pace of the times
Commodities from the Cecil Empire are gradually flowing into many countries in the north of the mainland. Even now it is the winter season, but driven by high profits and the support of the imperial royal family, businessmen are still not afraid of the cold winter and the difficult roads. Those that are new or interesting or hugely useful have brought them to distant exotic places.
Among the towering mountains in the extreme north, a gray-white megalithic fortress is built on the mountain top, and the cold wind blew across the mountains, rolling up layers of snow and cold fog outside the fortress. Huge braziers are burning all over the fort, and the oil mixed with frost fire grass juice and dazzling crystal dust makes these flames glow red and bloody, and they cannot be blown out even by the howling wind.
Daotang's invisible curtain shrouds this ancient "Longlin Fortress", together with those huge braziers to withstand the cold winds of the outside. Inside the fortress, there are also huge braziers and fire ponds burning in the extremely wide hall. A middle-aged man in a dark red cape is sitting in a wide seat, looking at the magical institution in front of him with interest.
The brilliance of the flame shone on the face of the middle-aged man, casting a twinkling light on the resolute face, short gray hair, high cheekbones and bridge of the nose.
"His Majesty, this is the magic terminal brought by those Cecil merchants-by placing different plug-ins, it can be used to release different simple spells, from self-defense to self-defense, very convenient," a figure Tall, bearded, and foreheaded courtiers stood beside the throne and introduced the items presented by the attendants. "Also, this is the alchemy potion they sell-the effect is average, but the price is surprisingly cheap. In fact, if you follow Our price, the potion in it is even cheaper than the bottle itself ... "
Middle-aged man with short gray hair, contemporary Dragon Blood Archduke Barlogel, who has ruled the Principality of the Holy Dragon for 1,000 years, nodded: "I have heard news in this area frequently."
According to the Duchy of the Holy Dragon, although the head of state is the "duke", the subjects still use the title "Her Majesty" instead of the "Her Highness" of the southern countries.
"Yes, Your Majesty," said the courtier, "In the past six months, the number of merchants from the South has been increasing. The new 'Cecil Royal Family' has encouraged business activities, and the novelties brought by those merchants are very popular with the principality. People love it-especially those machines that work on their own and crystal devices that record images. "
Balroger quietly watched the magic terminal for a moment and said slowly: "It's ... very interesting."
Standing on the other side of the throne, a courtier with white hair and a white twill robe couldn't help but said, "But the young people have been too enthusiastic about the outside world, and even talking about going south to see the world," This does not seem to be a good sign. "
Balroger didn't turn his head and said casually, "Why isn't it good?"
"Excessive curiosity about the outside world will shake the minds of the younger generation. The people of the Principality will begin to chase the strange things of the foreigners, and they will easily forget the patriarch's admonitions. The long exile has not ended, and they rushed out of the mountains. Noble move ... "
"The ancestor's admonition just told us not to go north—but didn't say not to go south," Balogel said lightly. "The reason why we were not interested in those kingdoms in the south was simply because they were old and weak. It's worth a look. "
As he said, the Dragon Blood Prince shook his head, with a playful smile on his face: "But now ... it seems that some wonderful changes are taking place to the south."
After a short pause, the ruler of the Duchy of the Holy Dragon turned his attention to the courtier who was utterly white: "As for the so-called 'noble move' ... Sir Eugene, the so-called noble, is determined by man."
Then he looked to the other side of the throne and nodded to the courtier with a lush beard and a wide forehead: "Sir Goros, the snow and ice lord in the southern mountains has recently sent us two messengers to discuss the formal opening of the business road One thing, maybe we should make some responses. "
...
West of the Cecil Empire, Shilin City, Franklin Castle.
The gray elf Wenna was sitting in the parlour with soft thick rugs and decorative shields and rune cloth curtains hanging on the wall. The light from the magic crystal lamp shone on the round table and the colored glass lattice on the table. There was a psychedelic glow, and she looked at the Duke of Baldwin Franklin in front of her, with a light smile on her face: "Our first cooperation in the new era was very successful-the first batch of alchemy potions and The oriental cloth as a sample is very popular in the plains and hills, and the gray elf king ordered me to bring a gift dedicated to Her Majesty Govin Cecil to show our friendship. "
The lady, who is as petite as a human child, is actually a large tribal leader of the gray elves, while she gestures to the followers next to him, who then steps forward and puts a very beautifully decorated, approximately A small square box was placed on the table in front of Birdwin.
A faint rune flashed, and the magical mechanism of the small box was lifted. After the lid was opened, a crystal ball, about the size of a fist, was lying on the velvet cushion quietly.
"This is a high-clarity crystal ball from the ancestor peak. As you know, the crystal produced by the ancestor peak has the best quality in the continent. This crystal ball was hand-crafted and polished by the dwarf artisan Mackintosh Gray Mountain , And the blessing of the fairy king, I hope the two kingdoms can maintain friendship for a long time, as pure as this crystal. "
"I will transfer this precious gift to our emperor," said the Duke of Franklin, nodding, and the servants accepted the gift. "When the road is clear in the coming spring, we will establish permanent embassies and ambassadors, and I will definitely You will be invited to come to our capital together, and you will love the thriving business atmosphere there. "
"I'm looking forward to it," Gray Elf Wenna smiled, nodding her head slightly, and then asked, "In addition, our king wants to confirm one thing. When will the second batch of textiles and alchemy potions be available? In the Plains The gap between these two commodities is huge. "
"We can supply a large amount of alchemy potions at any time. Alchemy factories have been set up in the west. As for the textiles from Tifeng ..." Baldwin Franklin pinched his chin a little. "You also know that it will take a long transportation process. The last batch of samples was transported from the east to the west by the Baishui River and the land convoy. However, the major river transportation of the Baishui River has been temporarily suspended due to seasonal changes, and the railway required for the magic guide train ... this year is impossible to complete. of.
"Of course, we can still supply a small amount of textiles, which can at least partially solve the gap."
"Half the supply of alchemy medicaments has already solved half of the problem," Wenna said with a smile. "As for textiles ... we understand your difficulties. It is also extremely difficult to think about moving bulk goods from the east to the west. "
Having said that, the leader of the gray elf tribe suddenly paused, and then the tone naturally turned to the topic: "Also, since you mentioned the" magic train "just now, I have really heard this weird term several times ... ... can you tell me more about it? "
Baldwin's mouth slightly tilted, and he rubbed his fingers lightly as he leaned over his body: "Oh? Are you interested in it?"
"It can quickly transport huge quantities of goods across the empire, and the cost sounds very low. I don't think any businessman with a normal mind would not be interested in it," Wenna said softly and maturely. "It's not just me who is interested , Even our Grey Elf King, and even a few other kings, are very interested. "
"Ah, I'll introduce it to you in detail," said Bai Dewen with a smile on his face, beckoning to the rack next to him, and the delicately restored model of the magical guide train flew to him smoothly. " First, let's start with the concept of "magic power vehicle ..."
...
The misty moon is getting deeper and the year is approaching the end. In this special year, this young and ancient country has experienced too many things and too many changes.
This year, many people and events are destined to be recorded in history and become a pivotal mark in the vast civilization of mankind. This year, it is also destined that many new things will be born in this world and change people's lives. Many old things were quietly eliminated by the times and began to gradually disappear from their original stage.
After a day of training, Jinna walked slowly on the back door ramp of the Windcaller Camp. The wind from the forest passed by her. It was not violent, but it was surprisingly cold.
She remembered today's special flight experience in her mind, and felt that she was quite excited in a short time.
Today, she finally broke away from the stage of ground simulation and familiarity with mechanical operation. For the first time, she drove the magical machine named "Dragon Cavalry" to the blue sky with the help of auxiliary trainers, although it only took an hour. Training in the air, the experience that is very different from riding a gryphon still impressed her.
More stable, faster, and more agile, the lifeless steel and crystals are constructed into a delicate flying machine like a bird. She sits with another trained soldier in a three-person "Dragon Cavalry" cockpit, in The trainer led the sky across the northern foothills of the dark mountains, and the tremor of the airflow was transmitted to her hand through the joystick, which made her reluctant to think of the reins of the griffin, but felt completely different.
Two loud tweets came from nearby, interrupting the mind of the new Dragon Cavalry Commander. She looked up and realized that she had unknowingly reached the southern end of the Windcaller Camp and came to a place. Special place.
Several large wooden nests were placed under a row of wooden sheds. Railings thicker than adult thighs could be seen around the nests. The peculiar smell of large birds drifted into the nostrils along the wind. She saw the huge railings inside. His wings and sharp beak flashed.
She unknowingly walked near the griffin's nest.
The Windcaller Camp is a facility for training dragon cavalry pilots. It is more or less one of the state-of-the-art facilities of the Empire. The old-fashioned gryphon nest seems a little bit nonsense here, but from a practical point of view, this is actually normal-the new magic guide After all, the aircraft has just come out. Except for a few trainers sent from R & D units, even the training of the first pilots has just begun. Especially before this, there was even a capable aircraft in this training facility. There are no training aircraft to fly. In this case, of course, the fast transportation task between this camp and the imperial capital still depends on the old flying unit.
Therefore, the wind-caller camp has always maintained an old-fashioned gryphon team in this cutting-edge aircraft training facility.
But I'm afraid it won't be long before these griffins are being dismissed ...
Jin Na suddenly felt a trace of emotion, could not help coming to a nest she was familiar with.
Almost instantly, a colossal figure stood up in the lair, and then the skull with a sharp beak and white feathers appeared in front of her.
"Hi, old man."
The horsewoman reached out and gently brushed the feathers around the neck of her old friend.
The gryphon screamed loudly.
Jin Na couldn't help laughing, "You're still so mental."
"Actually it was scolding," a voice suddenly came from the side, "and it was strange."
Jin Na turned her head unexpectedly, but saw the blond elf instructor walking near.
Next to the elf instructor was a quiet, quiet lady with long black hair.
The black lady is the assistant trainer who led Jin Na to complete the training today. She is one of the technical experts sent from the Magic Technology Institute.
Gina immediately stood up straight and performed a standard and neat military salute: "Sonya Instructor, Ms. Maggie."
Sonia first responded to Jin Na's military salute, then waved her hand: "You can relax, today's training is over."
Jin Na exhaled, and the griffin next to her yelled again.
Sonia glared at the noisy giant bird for a moment: "Rough words!"
The griffin raised his head, and there was a faint expression of pride on the face covered with feathers.
Jin Na: "..."
(Mama yeah !!!
Saying that the draft is going to dry up ... but tomorrow, we should be able to fight for it ...)
