738.The wings of butterflies flutter in the city of Burnie... (page 1/2)
Burnie City is the capital of the Kavhoka Great Plains. Since hundreds of years ago, this land of rich water and grass has become a famous grain-producing area in the mainland. It has been a very important strategic location during the past several black disasters. area.
Even when the Bone-gnawing King ravaged the continent a hundred years ago, the ravaged and miserable Kafhokar was among the first to be recovered..
Even the Bone-gnawing King, who used plague barrels to clear the way, did not destroy this place wantonly, because Lord Philip knew very well that after the era of gnolls came, it would still need this place to provide food for his empire..
Now, Kavhoka has been occupied by Nordtov for almost half a year. This area is still fulfilling its past responsibilities, especially after a group of new lords were dispatched. The ecology of this grain-producing area is not only It was not destroyed, but operated more efficiently under the new lords' "New Dynasty and Elegance".
Of course, this does not mean that those Yankee lords are very kind. After all, the rebellion in the Kafhoka area has not stopped since they occupied it, but this is not a bad thing for the lords. Where there is a rebellion, it means that the place is hostile to If the wolf girl is not loyal, she will send the brave Winter Wolf Legion to send all the rebels there to heaven..
Then, new fertile land will be incorporated into the lord's large estate, and then distributed to his loyal servants..
In this way, the Yankee aristocrats and manor owners can encroach on Cavhoka and establish a relatively stable ruling system. As for how the landless farmers who were driven out of their land due to "rebellion" will survive In this difficult winter, that is obviously not something that gentlemen need to consider..
You see, there is always a strong demand for young men and women's servants in the market in Burnie City, isn't it?？
If you don't have land, can't you still sell yourself and become a serf in the master's manor? So how could a kind-hearted master allow his slaves to starve or freeze to death?？
Maybe you will be assigned back to the small house you built with your own hands, return to your hometown with another identity, and then live a life of "no worries about food and clothing" and be "supported". You only need to work to get food, and you don't have to worry anymore. A happy day that comes unexpectedly.
What a beautiful thing this is！
As for those stubborn and stupid people who are unwilling to sign the contract of sale... Well, gentlemen are kind-hearted and don't want to see people freezing to death and starving to death in front of their homes. Where are the slave traders? Why don't you take these guys away quickly?！
Isn't Transia going to war and needing people?？
Just give it to them at the price of one and a half, and you can also gain the favor of the Governor of Portlandia and the Archon. It's like killing two birds with one stone..
There is no danger of rebellion in Kavhokar. The masters have eliminated the stubborn guys to prevent them from teaching their honest serfs. Transia has received fresh cannon fodder. The Kingdom of Nordtov has made efforts and dealt with the Black Disaster. You can also get a very expensive commission.
Look, everyone is happy with it.
In short, after completing such a set of procedures, the situation in this newly occupied area has stabilized strangely since the onset of winter. The grain business in Bonie City has also been on the right track after two or three months of depression..
Especially after the talented and intelligent Wolf Lady signed a food security agreement with the Transians, even the old grain that could not be sold when it was delayed found a perfect market..
Moreover, Transia's almost endless demand for various commodities has also stimulated the handicrafts and nascent industries in and around Burnie City, allowing some businessmen to take advantage of the limelight in recent months and get rich overnight. Chance.
Even now, when the Black Disaster is in full swing, and when the last of the three snowfalls this year falls on this plain, Bonie City is still as warm as spring, and the cold weather cannot suppress the burning hearts of the merchants..
They were shopping in the market, running around various manors, and searching in the fields..
At this time, just sending a carload of things to Transia can make a carload of profit. No ambitious businessman will allow himself to be idle in this winter of wealth, and this kind of enthusiasm from the bottom of his heart also makes the entire The city of Burnie seemed to be "alive". It started to be noisy in the early morning and didn't quiet down until midnight..
“Why are you still looking at the scenery outside the window? You've been watching it for three days, aren't you tired of it?？”
On the fourth floor of a rental street-facing residence outside the largest grain trading market in Bonie City, a weak lady's voice sounded in the room, with a hint of scolding and dissatisfaction..
she said：
“Have you finished your homework yesterday? Bring it to me to check.”
“It's on the table, see for yourself.”
The girl who was lying by the window looking at the lively trading market outside said without looking back. It seemed that to her, those complex, mysterious and wonderful psychic knowledge were nothing compared to the boats she was watching here. It’s interesting that the goods are sent out along the pier along the river..
Those ships were moving very fast.
They must rush to deliver these goods along the Cadman River to the Undermar Hills before the river freezes again, and then spend the next ice flood period in the commercial town called "Strandstorm", maybe they can still find time Let's go play in the casino in Booty Bay..
The girl lying by the window is not just watching the fun.
It can be seen from the girl's sparkling intelligent eyes that she is judging some of the current situation in Burnie City by observing these commercial activities..
Her appearance is somewhat different from mainlanders.
Especially the skin color. The healthy wheat-colored skin is a bit darker than the white Zealanders and Nords, and even darker than the yellow skin of the ancient country of Callum, but to be honest, it is not. Ugly, this girl is not very old, but her figure has become very exaggerated.
Her beauty is not the squeamishness of a lady, but more similar to the healthy beauty of year-round exercise. An inappropriate description. This girl is like a vigorous female warrior, full of youthful vitality..
She was wearing a very ordinary maid's outfit, but there was a strange decoration on her bunted hair. The shape of that thing really didn't look like the style of the Old World..
Behind her in the somewhat old but very clean living room, the fireplace was burning, bringing heat and making the room very warm, while a man wearing an astrologer's coat and a witch's hat was dressed like a "charlatan" The tall woman coughed as she sat on the sofa and picked up the girl's homework..
After casually flipping through it, I confirmed the progress and stopped looking at the details..
She seemed to be running out of energy. She coughed a few times, which meant some kind of order. The girl at the window curled her lips and turned back to the kitchen to get busy. A few minutes later, a piece of hot tea with apple slices was delivered to her temporary room. Master and mentor at hand.
“What's your manners?”
The woman with a sick face but whose age could not be clearly seen sighed, and like magic, a small medicine bottle popped out from her fingertips. She dropped a few drops of strangely colored medicine into the black tea, then drank it in one gulp..
This is hot tea！
It definitely burns your mouth when you drink it, but this woman who is not very healthy doesn't care at all..
She leaned on the sofa and waited for the potion to take effect, then closed her eyes and sighed.：
“There is probably no servant on this continent who would treat his master as rudely as you do. The disguise we chose is really bad. Forget it, you can pretend to be me during the rest of the journey to Nordtov. Apprenticeship.
Remember to wear a mask and long clothes. Your skin color is a bit eye-catching, and you are not willing to obey the illusion potion..”
“Hey, Lina, it's not that I don't want to take your potion, but your potion is of no use to me at all. We have tried it before, right?？”
The girl put her hands on her hips and said very dissatisfiedly：
“Kulkan's divine power is still protecting me, making it difficult for these mortal things to change my true form. It's not my fault! You were obviously the one who patted your chest and said you could handle everything after being rescued by me. But as the most powerful psychic master in the old continent, you couldn't even cover up the fluctuations in your divine power?？”
