Release that Witch Chapter 148: Kingdom Capital Merchant (on)
Border Town ushered in a long-lost rainy day. The sky was densely covered with Dark Cloud. The rain fell from the sky, hit the windowsill and glass, and crackled. .
Theoretically, spring should be a rainy season, warm and humid. But in Border Town, since the end of Months of Demons, the number of rains has been countless. Fortunately, the farmland is right next to the river and it is very convenient to irrigate. Now, a heavy rain dispels the dullness in the air, Nightingale opens the window, letting the fragrance full of earthy fragrance flow into the room.
Looking from a distance, you can see that the crops on the other side of Scarlet Water River have taken out new sprouts, and the green wheat seedlings are continuous, extending to the end of the field of vision. Under the wash of rain, these crops appear extremely bright, in stark contrast to the gray river water.
Roland stretched his waist and threw the quill pen in his hand into the pen holder.
"Done?" Nightingale asked.
"Yeah, the new weapon, can increase the rate of fire of firearms several times," Roland flattened a dozen designs, "I named it revolving rifle. Want to see it?" >
"Don't look," she poked, "I don't understand anyway."
"This is only a basic type. If the barrel is shortened, it is a revolver and can be carried with you. But to make it useful, you need to solve another key technology. I ’ll send you one by then , You no longer have to be afraid of Church's Judgement Army. "
"You mean, it allows an ordinary woman to knock down a heavily armed man?"
"Not one, but several." Roland smiled proudly, "If you are lucky, five big men are not a problem."
Nightingale showed an expression of unbelief, and just about to say something, there was a knock outside the office.
"His Highness, Barov's apprentice has returned from Kingdom Capital. He also brought the saltpeter merchant and is now waiting for your interview outside the castle."
Assistant Minister's apprentice? Roland remembered it after thinking about it. When attacking Longsong Stronghold, the stock of small town gunpowder was very low. He sent personal guard to Fallen Dragon Ridge and Scarlet Water City successively, hoping to get a new saltpeter source. The apprentice of Barov was the last one sent to Kingdom Capital. After all, there are everything there, and the summer is coming, the output of saltpeter will definitely increase greatly.
Unexpectedly, the last person sent out brought the good news first.
"Take them to the living room, I'll be right there." Roland looked at the sky, "Let's have a dessert in the kitchen."
When you look back, Nightingale is gone.
But he knew that she was right next to her.
...
When Roland entered the living room of the club, the saltpeter businessman was just led into the hall by the guards. She took off her wet cloak and straw hat, and bowed down to salute the prince. "I am Margery Faman from Kingdom Capital, and congratulate you, Your Highness Wimbledon Esteemed.
Seeing that the man was a woman, Roland froze slightly. The business environment in this era is far less secure than later generations. When running east and west, not only may encounter mountain thieves and exiles, but also towns and earth snakes and underground forces, so female businessmen are rare.
Like Lightning, she has brilliant blond hair, but her hair is denser and longer. About 30 years old, maybe because of ordinary people, wrinkles appear in the corners of her eyes and forehead. The skin is darker in color and looks rough at first glance. However, it is not the Mojin person from the face, but the people of the fjord.
"Sit down," the prince made a request, and then sat down in the main seat, "You are not Greycastle, right?"
"Why do you say that?" Margery smiled.
"The color of your hair is very rare in the mainland kingdom. As far as I know, most people across the strait have beautiful blond hair, and I also know a person from the sea ... explorer."
"You are very knowledgeable. My hometown is indeed in the fjord, but I have been there for more than ten years. Now I live in Kingdom Capital, and it is also half a Greycastle person." She paused, "You have just left Kingdom Capital Soon, maybe we have met somewhere. I am very honored to live in the same city as His Highness. "
Sure enough, a successful businessman is very good at talking, knowing that the other party is playing flattering and being close to each other, Roland still feels very useful. At this moment, he felt that he was forced **** the right side ... Well, at this time, there is no need to determine the authenticity, enthusiastic comrade Nightingale.
"But referring to explorer, this is a remarkable name in the fjord." Margery went on to say, "You may not know that the land where people in the fjord can live is very scarce, where the seawater rises and falls, Some islands are swallowed into the sea at high tide, while others emit flames and thick smoke all day long. The stones will melt at high temperatures and converge into dark red rivers. Only those who open new channels or find new habitats People on the island are eligible for this title. Most people do not call themselves explorer. "
"Haha, she not only calls herself explorer, but also calls her father the greatest explorer," Roland smiled and shook her head. "A child, I like to imagine myself as a great person."
"In the fjord, even a child won't say the name easily," Margery frowned, "Did she mention her father's name?"
Seeing the expression of the other party, Roland also realized that it was wrong. Could the word explorer be the spiritual beliefs of the sea people and shouldn't be called wildly? "Her father's name is Thunder."
I didn't expect that the name had just been spoken out, and the other person's eyes widened immediately. "Do you know Lord Thunder?"
"No, I know his daughter. Why, have you heard the name?"
"Who has never heard of this name! Adult Thunder discovered Shuangfeng Island and Sea Dragon Bay, which almost expanded the area where everyone lives. He also drew a detailed map of the East Coast and Endless Cape. He developed 80% of the route. Every child knows the deeds of Thunder adults. He is one of the greatest explorer in the fjord! "
"But I heard that Thunder seems to be buried under the sea because of a storm ..."
"No, Your Highness, a real explorer will not fall due to storms. He has encountered countless dangers and has finally survived. At this moment, Lord Thunder must be convening a new expedition somewhere, just like him The same thing I did before. "Margery leaned forward slightly," His Highness, do you know where his daughter is now? "
Roland is also slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Lightning's dad was so famous. Are those adventure stories that sound like fantasy story all true? "She lives in my castle. After the shipwreck, she drifted westward to Border Town, and I happened to take her in."
"In your castle?" She looked expectantly, "Can you ... let me see his daughter?"
"Well, it may not work now." At this moment Lightning should cruise around Hidden Forest, looking for the ruins location marked on Treasure Map. "She is currently practicing ... Jungle adventure skills. If you plan to stay here for one night, you should wait until She is back. "
"I'll disturb you then," Margery nodded without hesitation.
"Now we can discuss the business?"
"Of course, Your Highness," she laughed, "please speak up."
