148. Chapter 148 Kingdom Capital Merchants (on)

    Border Town ushered in a long-lost rainy day, the Dark Cloud in the sky was densely covered, and the rain fell from the sky, hitting the window sill and the glass, making a loud noise.

    It stands to reason that spring should be a rainy season, warm and humid. But in Border Town, since the end of the Months of Demon, the number of rains has been few. Fortunately, the farmland is just beside the river and it is very convenient to water it. Nowadays, a heavy rain dispels the boring air, and Nightingale opens the window, allowing the earthy fragrance to flow into the room.

    Looking far away, you can see that the crops on the other side of the Scarlet Water River have been sprouted, and the green wheat seedlings are endless, stretching all the way to the end of the field of vision. Under the washing of the rain, these crops are extremely bright, in stark contrast to the gray river.

    Roland stretched out and threw the quill in his hand into the pen holder.

    “Draw it?”Asked by Nightingale.

    “Well, the new weapon can increase the firing rate of the rifle several times,” Roland said, stacking more than a dozen designs and flattening it. “I named it revolving rifle.” Want to see it? ”

    “Don’t look,” she grinned. “I don’t understand anyway.”

    “This is just a basic type. If the barrel is shortened, it is a revolver that can be carried around. But if you want it to come in handy, you need to solve another key technology. When you give one to you, you no longer have to worry about Church’s Judgement Army. ”

    “You mean, can it let an ordinary woman knock down a heavily armed big man?”

    “Not one, it is several.”Roland smiled smugly. “If you are lucky, the five big men are not a problem.”

    Nightingale showed an unbelief, just wanted to say something, and the door suddenly sounded knocking outside the office.

    “His Royal Highness, Barov’s apprentice returned from Kingdom Capital. He also brought a saltpeter merchant and is now waiting for your interview outside the castle.”

    Apprentice of the Assistant Minister? Roland thought about it and remembered it. When attacking Longsong Stronghold, the small town gunpowder had little stock left. He sent personal guards to Fallen Dragon Ridge and Scarlet Water City, hoping to get a new source of saltpeter. Barov’s apprentice is the latest one, and the destination is Kingdom Capital. After all, there are products there, and as summer is approaching, the production of saltpeter will definitely increase.

    Unexpectedly, the person who sent the party at the latest brought the first good news back.

    “Take them to the living room, I will be there soon.”Roland looked at the sky and said, “Let the kitchen have a dessert.”

    When I look back, Nightingale has disappeared.

    But he knows that she is by her side.

……

    When Roland walked into the living room, the saltpeter businessman was just taken into the hall by the guard. She took off her wet cloak and straw hat and bowed to the prince. “I am Margery Farman from Kingdom Capital, greet you, His Highness, Wimbledon, Esteemed.”

    Seeing that the person was actually a woman, Roland gave a slight glimpse. The business environment of this era is far less safe than that of the later generations. When running east and west, it is not only likely to encounter thieves and displaced people, but also towns and local snakes and underground forces, so female businessmen are rare.

    Like Lightning, she has a brilliant blonde hair, but her hair is denser and longer. About thirty years old, perhaps because of ordinary people, her eyes and forehead have wrinkles. The skin is darker in color and looks a bit rough. However, from the face, it is not a Mojin person, but it is like a fjord.

    “Sit down,” the prince did, asking, and then sat down in the Lord. “You are not a Greycastle, right?”

    “Why do you say that?”Margery smiled.

    “The color of your hair, the mainland of the country is very rare. As far as I know, most people across the strait have a beautiful blonde hair, and I also know an explorer from the sea. ”

    “You are very knowledgeable. My hometown is indeed in the fjord. But I have been there for more than ten years. Now living in Kingdom Capital, I am also half a Greycastle.”She paused, “You have just left Kingdom Capital soon, maybe we have met where. I feel very honored to be living in the same city as my Highness. ”

    Sure enough, a successful businessman would speak very well, knowing that the other person was flattering and close, and Roland still felt very useful. Just then, he felt that the right side had been slammed hard…Hey, this time you don’t need to judge the authenticity, the enthusiasm of the timid Nightingale.

    “However, the Explorer is mentioned, but this is not a name in the fjord.”Margery went on to say, “You may not understand that the land where the people of the fjord can live and live is very rare. The sea is rising and falling, some islands are swallowed into the sea during high tide, while others are full of flames and thick. Smoke, stones will melt at high temperatures, gathering into a dark red river. Only those who open new waterways or discover new suitable islands are eligible for this title. The average person does not claim to be an explorer. ”

    “Haha, she not only called herself an explorer, but also called her father the greatest explorer,” Roland shook his head with a smile. “Children like to imagine themselves as great people.”

    “In the fjord, even children, it’s not easy to say this name,” Margery frowned. “Does she mention her father’s name?”

    Seeing the other person’s expression, Roland also realized that it was wrong. Could it be that the word explorer is the spiritual belief of the sea people, can’t be screamed? “Her father’s name is Thunder. ”

    I didn’t expect this name to be just said, and the other’s eyes were immediately rounded. “Do you know Thunder adults?”

    “No, I know his daughter, why, have you heard of this name?”

    “Where the fjord has not heard of this name! Thunder found the Twin Peaks Island and Sea Dragon Bay, which almost doubled the site where everyone lived. He also drew detailed maps of the East Coast and Endless Cape, and 80% of the routes to the mainland today were opened by him. Every child is familiar with the deeds of Thunder, one of the greatest explorers 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 because of the storm. He has encountered countless dangers and eventually survived. At this point, Thunder adults must be convening a new expedition somewhere, just like what he did before. ”Margery leaned forward slightly. “His Royal Highness, do you know where his daughter is now?”

    Roland was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect Lightning’s dad to be so famous. Are the adventure stories that sound like fantasy stories true? “She lives in my castle. After the shipwreck, she drifted west to Border Town, and I happened to take her in. ”

    “In your castle?”The look she is looking for is beyond words. “Can…Let me see his daughter? ”

    “Hey, maybe not now,” Lightning should cruise around Hidden Forest to find the location of the ruins on the “Treasure Map”. “She is currently practicing…Jungle adventure skills, if you plan to stay here for one night, you should be able to wait for her to come back. ”

    “Then I am disturbed,” Margery nodded without hesitation.

    “Next, can we discuss the business?”

    “Of course, Your Highness,” she laughed. “Please open your mouth.”
