Release that Witch Chapter 554: Arrive Neverwinter City

...

There are too many ships.

Stiles leaned against the porthole of the watchtower, looking at the fleet of Scarlet Water River coming and going.

Since entering Western Region, the river has been suddenly busy, and most of them are weird stone ships without sails. Listen to the captain's introduction, they call it Stream Ship and rely on steam power to move forward. Its speed is not affected by the wind direction. It is much faster than a sailing boat when sailing against the current, often dragging a string of black smoke and ran to the front --. As for how the steam pushes the big wooden wheels on both sides of the hull, no one can tell clearly.

But one thing is certain, these are all made by Neverwinter City.

Stiles estimated in my heart that almost every one hour can see a Stream Ship. If they are carrying goods, the Neverwinter City's material absorption will undoubtedly be an amazing value. This is the -- she learned from the merchant. The larger the city, the higher the ability to digest materials. As long as you stay on its official road for two days, you can roughly determine how prosperous the city is and how many business opportunities there are. If you are good at communication, you can analyze one or two of the most demanding commodities in the city.

Obviously, this Scarlet Water River is the main traffic route of Western Region and important.

The busyness of the river also means that the propaganda she saw on Kingdom Capital is not the arrogance of Your Majesty Roland.

In a short period of time, Western Region was integrated into a new city, and the resident population and business trade have exceeded the original Kingdom Capital. However, such an extraordinary heir to the throne has a notorious and paranoid notoriety ... With these rumors, Stiles became more curious about Roland Wimbledon himself.

"Ms. Conrad, are you watching the boat again?" The door of the room was pushed open. A handsome, handsome-looking brown-haired man walked away from come in. "Would you like to go out and breathe, staying here all the time?" Boring, right? "

"No, it's fine here," Stiles straightened up, nodded at him, "Thank you for your hospitality."

"Where is it," he laughed, "I am lucky to be with a beautiful lady like you."

The similar flattery Stiles heard too much, but she still responded with a happy expression, "If you don't lend a helping hand, I'm afraid I'll have to squeeze with those goods and refugees."

"Of course I can't sit by and watch this situation happen," the man sat down opposite her, "no gem merchant would be willing to let the jewelry dust out."

He is the owner of the Yongchun, a gem merchant Victor from Kingdom Capital. After the original ship was burned down, Stiles quickly picked the two-masted ship from a ship heading to Western Region's. It is not a passenger ship, nor does it accept employment, but a private car belonging to Victor, but for Pearl of the Northern Lands, as long as the ship owner is male, this is not a problem.

She plays herself as a Miss Northern Lands noble who went to Western Region to find her separated relatives. In a few words, she made Victor feel pity and invited her to board the Yongchun. Compared to ordinary small sailing ships and cargo ships, Yongchun has a comfortable penthouse cabin, which is spacious and bright, and it does not have the decaying smell of wood left on the waterways all year round. Even the host prepared two servants for her, not even a gold royal.

Of course, the only price is that Victor will come to the door from time to time to show his generosity and care, but this is already accustomed to the Stiles who is handy in the mixed noble communication circle. If the other person is good enough, she will also enjoy the feeling of driving the other person in control.

"Although these ships can wind without wind, they are too crude," Victor is their own pour a cup black tea. "I once boarded a Stream Ship and observed it carefully. It was not only noisy but very trembling ... Good for hauling goods, but not a good choice for long journeys. "

"Of course it won't be as comfortable as the Yongchun," Stiles chuckled, "but how do I feel like they came out overnight? Western Region didn't have such a ship before?"

"You're right, they just popped up overnight," Victor said, "I used to run Longsong Stronghold. Where is this weird thing, after a winter, they are everywhere. . "

Twenty or thirty Stream Ships were built in one winter? Stiles couldn't help but be surprised. As the successor of the Kant family, she naturally knew what it meant. Because big cities need to digest a large number of materials, their expansion is also limited to the transportation capacity of materials, and this type of fast-moving non-sailing boat is obviously only an excellent tool for expanding capacity. -- Reaching Western Region, the expansion speed of Neverwinter City may be far beyond people's imagination!

As for noise and tremor? That's not worth mentioning at all.

"Well, Miss Conrad, don't care about the non-aesthetic stone boats, I have something more interesting here that may help you pass the boring time." Victor called in a waitress aside, in her ear While whispering, the latter nodded and turned to leave the room.

"What is it?"

"A good thing to match your beauty," he proudly said, "is also my old business."

The maid returned to Diaolou soon, and brought a rather beautiful book, Victor spread it out in front of Stiles, "I don't know which one you like?"

A lot of bright crystal stone patterns are drawn on the parchment paper with delicate brushwork, bright color, and even the transparent luster jumps on the paper. Obviously the artist who draws the album is very good at this.

"Is this ... gem?"

"To be precise, it is raw gems." Victor explained carefully, "When I bought them, I set the price according to the standard on the catalog. Compared with the polished jewelry, the original stone also has a flavor ... If you If you are interested in what kind of rough, please tell me. Of course, if you prefer the finished product, I can also return to Kingdom Capital and ask the jeweller to make ornaments for you. "

Nothing new, Stiles flipped through the album and returned it to him, "Thank you, don't need it."

Victor took the book a little surprised, "Are you not interested in these?"

"My relatives do n’t know where they are yet, so I have no intention of choosing these luxurious gifts, please forgive me." Stiles whispered. If he should respond here, he will be entangled after arriving at Neverwinter City, which is not conducive to his next action. Although most women will be convinced by these glittering things, she would rather appreciate the steam engine that promotes Stream Ship. Compared with the jewels that only spread among noble, those things are really valuable.

...

Soon after Victor left, a series of shrill cry sounds suddenly came from the bow direction, one after another, thick and low ... as if a huge fleet was leaving the port to set sail.

Stiles looked sideways, and saw the light brown dock line slowly spread out in front of her.
