She Is Not a Witch Chapter 36: Under the beacon city
Lecia’s caravan stayed in Eft City for three days, first advertised a lottery, and then used consolation prizes to promote her own candies.
No demand can create demand. Residents of Shiraki County seldom have eaten such mellow and sweet candies. Now, the first time I tried it, it naturally left a deep impression.
For many living things, sugar can make nerves feel happy and happy, which is a product of biological evolution. Even the modern society in Lorrain Hill’s memory is still the case. In the competition of various entertainment activities and food, various beverages such as sweetened milk tea, cola, and scented tea still have a strong appeal.
Nowadays, in a world where entertainment and life are scarce, the happiness brought by sugar can be described as rare. Of course, the price is not cheap, and the raw materials and technology for sugar production have always been expensive.
There are not many sources of natural sweetness. Before the variety was improved, many fruits were not sweet, and it was not easy to extract sugar. The most common sweetness is honey, but the yield of growing things is also very low.
In the distant past, the discovery of the New World was largely for the sugarcane industry, producing white gold and sugar.
It's hard to imagine the time when a person can't eat sweet things once a year. With such expectations, in the past, candy and fairy tales were often linked together. (Such as Halloween)
So, in this era, sugar is still a delicacy that only a few can enjoy.
----------
After the event, many residents in the city knew about the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce and bought some sweets in the special event. Although there are not many, it is a rare gift to put it at home and give the children a taste. .
"If you want to buy in the future, you can go to the Kurt Jewelry Store in the city, where we have all kinds of sweets on consignment."
"Finally, everyone is welcome to participate in this event!"
As the voice fell, a burst of light fireworks started, ribbons, decals, and some free candies sprinkled from the air, and then cheers came from the venue.
"Awesome!"
"It's delicious, I still want it." A child said with a candy in his mouth.
Lysia looked at the scene in front of her, with a faint smile on her face, then boarded the carriage on the side, and then drove out of the city gate with the team.
This event is quite famous. On the last day, the city’s Trade and Commerce Bureau sent several people over to review, for fear that they would make some tricky operations. Fortunately, everything was normal in the end, so they didn’t stop or intercept it.
Then go on to the next stop.
The refurbished convoy unloaded a batch of candies for consignment in the jewelry store, and then purchased a batch of fine birch wood and set off for the northern provinces.
The high ground on the rolling plains undulates, the narrow roads spread far away, and a motorcade is slowly advancing in the morning light on the vast open field.
------------
The Principality of Black Rock.
Three airships came from one side of the sky. They slowly landed outside a city in the mountains. Then as the stairs fell, the soldiers unloaded a box of heavy wooden boxes from the airship. .
The long-awaited support of the ‘halberd faction’ finally arrived.
According to the treaty signed by Frost Rose and it, they will provide the Pike Faction with the most modern and sophisticated weapons.
A spear was inserted into the gap of the wooden crate, and then pressed hard, the sawdust flew up with a crash, and then the wooden board was pried open, exposing the weapon wrapped in oil paper and straw.
A special black matte weapon with a slender and heavy appearance, but its surface is very smooth, and it feels like a carefully manufactured artwork.
This is the result of Frost Rose, the Magic Crystal Spear.
In a chamber in the city.
Several wizards shrouded in robes are docking with these mercenary leaders.
"A total of 800 magic crystal guns, 2,000 muskets, 100,000 magic crystal ammunition, and 500,000 musket ammunition were shipped here."
"This is the first aid promised. If you can unify the whole territory, the second aid will arrive soon."
"Don't even have artillery? What's the use of these, I was shot into hedgehogs by those bows and arrows before they got close." A mercenary captain complained nonchalantly.
The mages raised their eyes and looked at the unpleasant man, and then they recruited a soldier who followed the airship.
"Demonstrate the power of the magic crystal gun to this group of people."
"Yes, my lord!" the soldier in a black capable uniform replied loudly.
Then he picked up a magic crystal gun, skillfully pulled the bolt open, then loaded it, and pressed a cone ammunition with a pattern into it.
A group of people came outside and watched the soldier pointed at an unmanned boulder in the distance. The stones were about 300 meters apart, with an X drawn on it.
As the soldier pulled the trigger, a gunshot sounded, and the hard boulder in the distance exploded to pieces.
The surprised captains of mercenary came to the stone and rummaged for a while, only to find the broken stone that was just painted ×. There was a hollow and cracked bullet mark, and some white powder remained in it.
"This is the power of the magic crystal spear." The mage on the side said.
"In order to deal with the many extraordinary people in the Green Empire~IndoMTL.com~ we have developed this weapon that can be used by ordinary people."
"The extraordinary of Sequence 6 may be difficult to shoot, but in Sequence 4 and below, one round of volley will be severely injured and lose combat ability. Even in Sequence 5, they dare not easily expose to the magic crystal gun. Once he can't avoid it, death is the inevitable ending."
"Perhaps you still hesitate to this day, but our Frost Rose Union will also tell the world that new forces will surely revolutionize the world, and the Xuehua Seven Kingdoms will inevitably fall under the same banner. It is Our destiny and the inevitability of the future."
"Yes, this is the reason we chose to join."
After the inspection, these mercenary leaders also became serious. They went to all sides all the year round. Naturally, they understood the confidence of the Frost Rose Alliance. After having excellent technology and access to resources, the rise of this alliance became Foreseeable facts.
The battle in the mountains started again, but this time it was completely different from the past.
Under the cover of a few sporadic golems, the halberd army quickly approached the city gate. With the neat gunshots, the smell of gunpowder filled the battlefield, and then one was broken under the ancient and strong fortress. Big hole.
Teams of armored soldiers wielding halberds entered in file. These heavily armed soldiers, like sharks, entered the school of fish with nowhere to escape, wantonly rounding up and killing the fragile enemies in the city.
The defenders who lacked armor and had insufficient melee team training could only disperse all the way, and even took the initiative to open the west gate and flee towards the grassland.
Finally, the enemies behind continued to kill. These light cavalry armed with halberds chased down the rout enemies, chopped them to the ground one by one, and constantly cleared and besieged the defenders of the past. .
Since the Mercury Dynasty, the beacon city, which has been alone in the north for thousands of years, finally broke through the hands of its own compatriots.
