Release that Witch

554. Chapter 554 arrives at Neverwinter City

……

    This boat is too much.

    Edith leaned against the porthole of the tower and looked at the fleet that came and went from Scarlet Water River.

    Since entering the Western Region, the river has suddenly become busy, and most of the traffic is a quirky stone boat without sails. The captain said that they call this Stream Ship, relying on steam power, its speed is not affected by the wind. When sailing in reverse, it is much faster than sailing. It often runs to the front with a string of black smoke. As for how the steam pushes the big wooden wheels on both sides of the hull, no one can make it clear.

    But one thing is for sure, this is something that Neverwinter City has created.

    Edith estimates in his heart that a Stream Ship can be seen almost every hour, and if they are all loaded with goods, Neverwinter City’s material absorption will undoubtedly be an amazing value. This is what she learned from the merchants – the bigger the city, the higher the ability to digest materials. As long as it stays on its official road for two days, it can roughly judge how prosperous the city is and how much business opportunities there are. . If you are good at communication, even the most demanding goods in the city can be analyzed.

    Obviously, this Scarlet Water River is the most important traffic artery in the Western Region.

    And the river’s busyness means that the publicity she saw at Kingdom Capital is probably not the self-proclaimed of Your Majesty Roland.

    In a short period of time, the Western Region was integrated into a new city, and the resident population and commercial trade have surpassed the original Kingdom Capital, and such an extraordinary successor to the throne has the notoriety of not learning, and paranoia…Thinking of these rumors, Edith is more and more curious about Roland Wimbledon.

    “Miss Conrad, are you watching the boat again?”The door of the room was pushed open. A brown-haired man dressed in a luxurious and handsome appearance walked in the come in. “Would you like to go out and breathe, it’s boring to stay here?”

    “No, it’s fine,” Edith straightened up and nodded at him. “Thank you for your hospitality.”

    “Where,” he laughed. “It’s my luck to be able to walk with such a beautiful lady.”

    Similar flattering Edith heard too much, but she still responded with a pleasant expression. “If you don’t lend a helping hand, I am afraid I have to be crowded with the goods and the people.”

    “Of course I can’t sit and watch such a situation happen,” the man sat down opposite her. “No gem merchant would be willing to let the jewels dust.”

    He is the owner of the Yongchun, a businessman from Kingdom Capital’s gem businessman Victor. After the original ship was burned, Edith quickly picked the big boat from the ship to the Western Region’s. It is not a passenger ship, nor a hire, but a private car belonging to Victor, but for the Pearl of the Northern Lands, as long as the owner is a male, this is not a problem.

    She played herself as a Miss Northern Lands noble who went to the Western Region to find her separated relatives. In a few words, she gave Victor a heart of pity and invited her to board the Yongchun. Compared to ordinary small sailboats and cargo ships, Yongchun has a comfortable cabin, which is spacious and bright, and there is no decaying odor of wood that has been kept on the waterway all the year round. Even the owner prepared two servants for her, and even one gold royal did not charge.

    Of course, the only price is that Victor will come to the door from time to time to express his generosity and care, but this has long been accustomed to Edith, who is comfortable with the noble communication circle. If the other person is good enough, she will enjoy the feeling of driving the other.

    “These boats are windless and automatic, but they are a bit too simple,” Victor said for his own pour a cup of black tea. “I have boarded a Stream Ship and watched it carefully. It’s not too noisy, it’s very tremor…It is good for hauling goods, but it is not a good choice for long-distance travel. ”

    “Of course, there won’t be such a comfortable Yongchun,” Edith chuckled. “But how do I feel that they are popping up overnight?” Was there such a ship in the Western Region? ”

    “You’re right, they just came out overnight,” Victor grinned. “I used to run Longsong Stronghold, and there was such a weird thing. It was only after a winter, they were everywhere.”

    Twenty or thirty Stream Ships were created in one winter? Edith couldn’t help but be amazed. As the successor of the Kant family, she naturally knew what it meant. It is precisely because large cities need to digest large quantities of materials, so their expansion is limited to the transportation capacity of materials, and such a fast-producing non-sailboat is obviously an excellent tool to expand capacity – if the energy source continues to bring food and food throughout the kingdom The arrival of goods in the Western Region, Neverwinter City is likely to extend far beyond people’s imagination!

    As for the noise and tremors? That is not worth mentioning at all.

    “Right, Miss Conrad, don’t worry about the stone boats that are not aesthetic. I have something more interesting here, which may help you to spend boring time.”Victor recruited the maid, who whispered a few words in her ear. The latter nodded and turned and left the room.

    Dos

    “A thing that matches your beauty,” he said. “It’s my old business.”

    The maid quickly returned to the tower and brought a rather beautiful book. Victor spread it in front of Edith. “I don’t know which one you like?”

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

    “This is…gem?”

    “Accurately, it is raw gems.”Victor explained carefully, “When I acquired them, I determined the price according to the standards on the catalogue. Compared to the jewels polished and polished, the original stone also has a flavor…If you are interested in any kind of rough, please let me know. Of course, if you prefer the finished product, I can also go back to Kingdom Capital and ask the jeweler to make a decoration for you. ”

    Without any new tricks, Edith flipped through the album and handed it back to him. “Thank you, no.”

    Victor took the book with some surprise. “You are not interested in these?”

    “My relatives still don’t know where they are going. I really have no choice but to choose these luxurious gifts. Please forgive me.”Edith whisper. If you should be here, you will be entangled in the arrival of Neverwinter City, which is not conducive to your next move. Although most women will be impressed by these gleaming gadgets, she would rather appreciate the Steam engine that drives Stream Ship, which is truly valuable compared to jewelry that only flows between noble.

……

    Shortly after Victor left, there was a series of shrill cry sounds in the direction of the bow, one after another, thick and low…It seems that a huge fleet is setting sail from Hong Kong.

    Edith looked sideways and saw the light brown dock line slowly unfolding in front of her.
