Release that Witch Chapter 1198: A visitor from a different country
Wolf Heart, Deep Pond Bay. .
As one of the only two harbour cities in Kingdom of Wolf Heart, the dock area here is always extremely busy. Every day, there are many merchants from the inland, sending goods to Shanghai for sale to other countries, or directly buying from the merchants what they need. Therefore, the dock district is also quite like a big market, from fur to slaves. .
White sits bored on his carriage, listening to the workers at the side of the carriage, while looking at the sea.
Since the war between Hermes and Greycastle, the mission of delivering orphans to Holy City in churches in various places has also been suspended, and he lost a lot of extra income. But it ’s even worse. The kingdom order overthrown by Church has not been restored because of the end of the war. feudal lord skirmishes continue everywhere. Like him, a coachman who relies on car dealers for life has basically lost a stable source of income. Come to Deep Pond Bay to find a new business.
Although the prosperity here has also been affected to some extent, fortunately, the feudal lord have struggled for power, and the pursuit of enjoyment has not fallen. In addition, the main road crossing Cage Mountain is controlled by Token Family, and the other luxury goods feudal lord want are more dependent on sea transportation, so that the city still maintains the pre-war prosperity.
Of course, this is also related to the baron Deep Pond Bay's insistence on neutrality.
White also chose this place with stability considerations.
He is old and doesn't want to run around anymore.
Pull up a few more times and you will be able to buy a house outside the city. When you do a small sale, you should be able to survive.
"Uncle, haven't you gotten any work today?" Suddenly a young worker climbed into his car with a smile.
"Go, I didn't catch none of your business," White waved his hand like a fly, "Don't get in my car casually, you can't afford to wear out the axles."
"Don't say that, I'm more than the goods, I know it here." The latter patted the open belly first, then lay down in the compartment, picked up the straw at the bottom of the mat and slap it in his mouth. , Looked around, "What did you ship last time? Why is there a sour smell?"
"If you don't go down, I will beat you." White has no gas, this guy has no name, other workers call him Clever, and I don't know where to be clever. The two have nothing to do with each other, they are all busy working on a dock, and they have only met a few times.
"Just your prosthetic leg that was so painful as soon as it arrived on a rainy day?" The other side said indifferently, "This weather seems to be raining again. Is your bone faint now?"
White ca n’t help but hold on, when is this pesky little ghost
"hehe, don't stare at me like you want to eat people, but I'm here to help you find work." Clever said, "There are so many cargoes to transport in a ship. You are old and crowded. But people naturally earn less. "
"What the **** do you want to say?"
"It's very simple. My brothers can help you to occupy a good position. It is much more useful than you alone. Are you interested?"
"Hum, you will never be in vain," White said.
"Ten percent of the freight is fair." Clever smiled.
He was silent for a moment. At this time the sky above was already a little gloomy, and the sea breeze was blowing loudly, and obviously a heavy rain was approaching. If a ship arrives at the port at this time, it is really difficult for him to grab the prosthetic leg from the rest of his colleagues. This prosthetic leg is both an obstacle to him and a reason for the employer to screen him out.
Seeing that he didn't have answer, Clever snapped his fingers, "Since you don't refuse, I will agree with you."
"You helped ... it wasn't just me, right?" After a while, White glared.
"cough cough, if everyone can come in line, we can save a lot of things, right?" Clever deliberately skipped over, "I said uncle, can't you replace the straw with a cloth cushion in this car? Deep Pond Bay The most valuable cargo is perfume in addition to the Chaos Drink of the fjord. Although you buy noble, you usually bring your own carriage, but no one will encounter an accident, there will always be a need to add a car. And your car It ’s smelly, even if we help you grab a good position, the employer may not agree ... ”
The guy who talked and talked, White suddenly understood the reason why the other party was called Clever, but he was not a vegetarian for a long time, "Yes, you did n’t ask me what I pulled last time. Right? "
"Yeah?"
"Pulled cow dung, the kind used for wood burning." He said slowly, "Although it has been dried, it is normal to leave some residue after being dampened with moisture."
Clever's face suddenly froze, turning his head to spit out the straw in his mouth, lying on the frame and coughing.
Cut, after all, it's a hairy kid. White snorted with her nostrils, looked at the sea again, and then fell back in place.
I saw several three-masted sea vessels appearing at the end of the field of vision, slowly approaching Deep Pond Bay. Each ship is a flagship class ship of the Fiordland Chamber of Commerce. The main mast is close to ten feet, and the flag on the top of the mast is covered with gold and black borders, and it is not the emblem of any chamber of commerce known to him.
However, as long as there is a boat, there is business. And three ships at a time, even without the help of these workers, he should be able to receive one or two trucks.
White turned over the frame, untied the harness two or three times, and was preparing to take mount to the unloading area and waited. Clever suddenly stretched his clothes.
"Hello ... seems a bit wrong."
What could be wrong, White turned his head impatiently and that look stunned him.
After the three sea boats, there are still many masts showing up little by little, and the rising sails are faintly connected to form a "white wall" on the sea.
"Oh my **** ..."
When a number of gray and black hulls came into view, almost covering the original appearance of the sea, White tried to count exactly how many ships came, but after counting to 50, he found his eyes. Can't keep up with the speed of the ship. hundred? Two hundred ... No, I'm afraid it's much more!
There are many huge three-masted sea boats, but more so is the white smoke of Stream Ship. He has seen this type of new sailless ship occasionally, but now there are so many, Can be described as completely beyond his imagination. He swears that even sailors living in the port have never seen such a huge fleet!
Others in the harbour also noticed this incredible scene. Whether it was a vendor, a sailor, or a laborer, they couldn't help but let go of their work.
The noisy dock turned out to be quiet.
As the ship approached, the flying flag became clearer on the gold base, and White faintly saw the emblem of the high tower spear style. And all the sea boats are flying the same flag. When hundreds of emblems are waving in the wind to form a new sea antenna, anyone can feel the majesty contained in it.
Clever took a cool breath.
"Is this ... Greycastle's King's Flag?"
White murmurs in disbelief, "You mean ... King of Greycastle, here?"
Since Deep Pond Bay can't stop so many big ships at all, most of them sail off the harbour, and ten steam ships sail straight into the port.
As soon as they landed, a group of people wearing uniforms of the same color poured out from the springboard, quickly assembled on the bridge to form a series of lines, and stepped into the dock uniformly. These people are expressionless, with a chilling light in their eyes, like experienced warriors, but without the kind of shyness and publicity exposed.
White swallowed. Although he had never seen such a team, he felt heartfelt fear, and he knew that he was not the only one. These outsiders quickly occupied each trestle but did not. One dares to dispute this.
White realized that this fleet was never here to do business.
The atmosphere on dock seems to freeze.
The clouds in the sky are getting lower and lower.
