"It's not a witch novel ()" to find the latest chapter!
Frost Rose, the first district, Mozwa, the former Ruhrna country, the capital of the clock tower.
The chimneys on the outskirts emit thick black smoke. Rows of neat factories are densely scattered on both sides of the river. Tall ships slowly pass by the river, bringing up a long wake. These ships sailed inland from a distant seaport, constantly unloading all kinds of heavy cargo, some black coal, some heavy metals.
These things are shipped from various places, and then gathered here, they will be processed into various alchemical products, and then sold to various places. These include weapons, artillery, clocks, binoculars, metal parts, etc. The huge benefits generated by them make the alchemists of Ruhrna very wealthy.
The streets in the city are very spacious, and the brass street lamps are exquisite in shape. Unfortunately, some corners have been covered with a faint rust.
There was a small amount of stagnant water on the road after the rain, and as a horse-drawn carriage drove by, there was a splash of water. Some of these horse-drawn carriages are drawn by horses, and some rely on machines to run, or should not be called horse-drawn carriages. Magical locomotives are more appropriate.
As a magic locomotive stopped, first a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper got out of the car, then opened the door and helped a girl in a blue skirt to walk down gently.
The high heel stepped on the moist floor, and a slight splash sounded. The girl with blonde hair and blue dress looked up at the towering building in front of her lower body, the long spire stretched to the sky. There are four huge stone pillars in front of the main entrance, and people in dresses and shoes keep coming in and out of the gate, and there are voices of various conversations from time to time.
"Is this the branch of the Ajani Chamber of Commerce?" The girl walked forward with her skirt, and several bodyguards in black walked behind her. Looking at the exquisite patterns of the mechanical long swords in the hands of these bodyguards, you know that these are excellent alchemy creations after enchanting.
"Yes, Missy."
The steward on the side led the way, and then introduced him to the background of the Ajani Chamber of Commerce.
"The Ajani Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in books and paper making, but also involved in opera and performance industries."
"It is said that over the years, because of the training of a group of famous singers who perform operas and poetry, the sales of their books have increased greatly." The steward continued.
"Then their products should be very popular among aristocrats or rich ladies, why not set up their headquarters here? The rich people in Mozwa should be ranked in the top three in Xuehua Seven, right? Moreover, compared to the Ubere merchants who are keen on interests, our country’s alchemists and scholars are more interested in literature and drama, and there are more guests."
"This, it is said that most of their paper mills are located on the side of Wilga, because it is close to the forest farm and some raw material producing areas, which is more convenient. Later, Wilga was split, and they were also assigned to the western side, and only part of the industry was transferred. Come here."
"New Verga..." The blonde lady walked into the hall thoughtfully, looking at the rows of windows and long lines.
"There are a lot of people, have you made an appointment in advance?"
"The appointment is complete. Miss, please come with me. The person in charge of the Aoni branch is on the third floor." The butler walked in front, and then asked the entourage behind him to contact the waiter in the chamber of commerce first.
Soon after, several people in neat uniforms stepped forward to greet them.
"Welcome to the eldest lady from Shelia's family, please come with us." A long red carpet was put down, and then stood on both sides and bent over to pay tribute.
Looking at the grand scene in the hall, some people next to it started talking.
"Who is that lady? Makes the Argyle Chamber of Commerce so welcome."
"I don't know, but looking at her appearance and the bodyguards around her, she should have been born in a big family."
"I haven't seen it, but she is so beautiful." A guest sighed.
"Okay, okay, just the few words that come and go. You are a literary lover anyway, don't you know other adjectives?"
"Isn’t this just casual, it’s better to keep it simple in life. Anyone of you know that lady? I want to know her name"
"But I don't know."
"I don't know."
After a long time, a voice came from the corner: "That is the leader of the Hour Hand faction, the eldest lady of the Shelia family, Letis."
As the voice fell, the blonde girl disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
As the capital of Ruhrna, Mozwa was called the capital of clock towers. This is because in the early years, clocks and watches were precision creations, and only a few alchemists could make them, so they were in short supply among the nobles and wealthy people. , The value is extremely high.
Most alchemists are also proud of being able to make accurate clocks. Mozwa is also the capital. It has gathered many well-known alchemists in the country. There are many factions, most of which will be built on the building of the faction. The clock tower in this way demonstrates its own technical excellence, and it also serves as an advertisement.
In this way, there are more and more clock towers in Mozwani, and finally it is named the clock tower capital.
Hundreds of years have passed, Rulna’s alchemists have multiplied, and although the precision of clocks and watches has gradually ceased to be rare, these clock towers have been preserved. And to this day, some alchemy factions also retain their initial names. The'Hour of the Hand' is one of them. As a faction that started to make watches, it is still one of the six strongest factions in the country, and the leader family Of the descendants, Letis naturally also has a lot of power.

Aoni Club, third floor.
"In other words, does Miss Letis want to publish this publication by herself?"
A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and neat waistcoat sat on the sofa, looked at the blond lady on the opposite side, and asked carefully.
"Yes, everyone’s aesthetics are too vulgar nowadays. They are still the kind of thick face, layered skirts, and the accessories hanging on them are estimated to weigh a few kilograms. Decorate women as vases. Look It’s uncomfortable."
After speaking in detail, the blonde girl picked up the white porcelain tea cup in front of her and took a sip. She was dissatisfied with the current styles of clothing for a long time. When other girls of the same age were still chasing trends, she had already started Thinking about how to create a trend.
"Then what are your thoughts, or Miss Letis, what kind of beautiful style do you want to convey?" The head of the chamber of commerce thought about the words and asked the lady cautiously. The current headquarters of the Aoni Chamber of Commerce is far in the west. As a branch, this side is already weak. If this young lady is offended, it is estimated that he will encounter various troubles in the future, which is not what he wants to see.
"Well..." Letis puts down the teacup, but her mind gradually drifts to the distant roommate, the friend who hardly wears accessories.
"Maybe simple and natural, it will be much better."
The blond lady seemed to be inspired, and described a new dressing style to the head of the Chamber of Commerce in front of her, focusing on simplicity and freshness, while the other party bothered to understand the strangeness of this lady. Think carefully, and then write them down one by one.
"We have a general understanding of Miss Letis's thoughts, but if the first version is concerned, we probably won’t be able to release it until next year."
"No way, even if you find someone to ask for the draft, do the preparation work and print, it won't take so long." Letis was a little confused.
"I'm very sorry, because the current printing line is already running at full capacity, there is really no room to re-commission and print new products..."
"Are you perfunctory me? Or treat me as a child?"
Although her temper a little bit when she was in school, she returned to her familiar place~IndoMTL.com~Letis’s eldest lady had a temper again. Moreover, what she said is not unreasonable. With so many printing houses in Agoni, it is a trivial matter to free up their hands to print a few magazines.
"Sorry, this... how can I explain it to you? It is indeed an extraordinary situation. It is not convenient for me to say that if you ask Patriarch Shelia, he will tell you the reason." Aoni The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to explain the reason.
Letis turned to the butler behind her with a little doubt, and the latter leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Miss, the Aouni Chamber of Commerce is really unable to take action at the moment, because the war is about to begin."
In the distant Principality of Black Rock, the Kingdom of Falcon, the Kingdom of Sanctuary, airships passed high above the sky, snow-like papers fell from the sky, and documents printed with rose patterns announced the four directions.
Under the sky, the rose-patterned flags gradually stood up and rushed to the distance.
