Chapter 56: City of Canals (part three)

There were two large rivers on Ichthyes

Froh the boundary between Lucanrant and Aurelia towards the west via Leandez to Knot Reed, the Varnalis River

From the lake at the boundary between Harvan and Aurelia, Alleska River flowed into the territorial waters of Ignitia whiletowards the southwest via Leandez

Both of them had little rise and fall differences and people could enter the inland areas with large vessels

In addition, each branch divided into more than twenty small rivers that covered thea circulation of idom

After the skirmish in the northwest after Aurelia’s arrival by shi+p, the darants froest branch of the Varnalis River

This was the beginning of Knot Reed

Everything flowed in Varnalis River, which was the cornerstone of water transports

Therefore, everything gathered at the port of Knot Reed which was built at the mouth of the river

And the shi+pbuilding industry to transport the with Aurelia

Not onlyvessels but military vessels were also built in shi+pyard areas located in the city

Battle shi+ps for Aurelia built with numerous ethanol cannons

Cruisers equipped with e spell cards exclusively for Harvan’s es

For the country of dragon knights Ignitia, an air carrier to operate 10-ons on the sea

“What is built this ti a state-of-the-art mechanism in the power section

The dragon knights of the forinally will switch to the newceremony”

“Which one is the aircraft carrier?”

“The old aircraft carrier seems to be on the ocean in order to train for the de ceremony

Don’t worry, when the launching cereins you can see both old and new aircraft carriers”

Saying so, Otou-sama sroked my head

There was a huge shi+pyard appearance in the direction pointed by him

I was interested in how big the shi+p that was being built was, but it see ceremony

In the meantime, a merchant shi+p arrived at the harbor

However, our voyage didn’t end here

We would switch to a s with a few servants

It was a rowing boat that looked just like a

gondola

It seeh the canal whenever you went on the canal street of Knot Reed

We got on the sh the canal

Many shi+ps were co near the mouth of the river and it was very lively

A cargo shi+p with various kinds of luggage, a sightseeing shi+p that was kind of bigger than our small boat

The origin and occupation of the people riding on them were also diverse

Turning back a little, our ss such as cathedrals lined up along the canal

The religious building had white walls and gray roof

It had calm colors, but the elaborate decorations made it looked luxurious

We ca to reeted them

When ere passing by a place corresponding to the intersection on the road, I saw the other side and I felt dizzy

Like an infinite loop of a mirror, similar scenery was repeated

“Otou-sa everywhere”

“The large canal had 20 rings Including the small canals, there are several times more than that in total

Knot Reed is made up of one hundred islands separated by canals and two thousand bridges”

“That’s very a”

“Aah, it’s a land that has been developed for trading since ancient times”

It said that the canal was stretched concentrically around a river that was flowing in the center

It was said that the transportation cost was overwhels

After passing through the gray roofs area, we entered the red-orange roofs area

Various specialty shops were joining their eaves, and in the distance there were signboards with designs concentrated like beautiful accessories were glittering under the sunlight

The voices of sellers ere attracting customers could be heard

It was a vibrant part of the area with overwhele numbers of people

“This is Knot Reed’s famous place, 〈Town of All Kinds of Goods〉

Just like the name ‘All Kinds of Goods’, thethey don’t have in this town”

“That’s interesting”

“I’m sorry, but we cannot afford to stop by for a while

After the launching ceremony, let’s look around even between my works”

“Yes, I will look forward to that”

I was really bri with the intention to sneak away and visit this Town of All Kinds of Goods

As I was feeling a uilt, I replied to Otou-sama with a smile

The se

Suddenly, a huge building appeared in front of my eyes when the field of vision was cleared out at once

It looked like a religious building and felt solemn but had been decorated with secular architecture everywhere

This here ere going to stay, the 〈Water Palace〉

Our party of Aurelia got off the boat at a suided by the servant of the palace who had been waiting

The interior of Water Palace was precisely decorated based on white and gold

It was a technique of advanced craftsave a luxurious but pure impression, a fusion of Aurelistyle and Harvan-style

There were hundreds of rooms in this vast palace, which was also called as the Labyrinth Palace

It seeet lost if I wasn’t careful

Because it was a palace with iven a room by myself

Well, since it would make it easier to sneak out, I was fine with it

We quickly changed froiven room, and headed to the hall where other aristocrats had arrived earlier

The owner of Water Palace was the Tulum family

Their ancestors were es from Harvan

However, they see and water transportation, and they eo

They were the first one to develop a merchant shi+p with expanded interior by space ained funds
