Chapter 1098： Aftermath (1/2)

Beside the coastline of the far northern Xinjiang, wind gusts from the sea blows on the wide and flat Pier 1. The bulk cargo is neatly stacked in the stacking area beside the pier, driven by the magic engine and the weight reduction rune. Large construction machinery is busy beside the stacking area, transferring more goods to the platform in the pre-loading and unloading area.

A huge clock tower stands on the border of the city near the pier. The huge mechanical dial on the top shines in the sun. The delicate copper gears click and rotate in the transparent crystal window. The hands with beautiful hollow patterns are slowly Point to the highest point of the dial. And below the clock tower, the large Monet terminal on the edge of the square is broadcasting to the public. The holographic projection above the Monet terminal shows real-time images from the 112th meeting room—the big figures are sitting under the solemn stone pillars. Outside, there was the voice of an off-site commentator.

A beautiful and majestic ship is docked at the edge of a pier. The ship has a metal shell and magic wings extending diagonally upward, and the light of runes swims slowly in some places on the surface of the hull. Go, above the big ship, there is a flag that symbolizes the Ogure tribal nation is hunting and flying in the wind-this ship comes from the remote Baiyu Wharf, it was designed and manufactured by Beigang Imperial Shipyard, and the one who ordered it was from A wealthy merchant in Mosswood, it has carried out several trade activities between Mosswood and Beigang in the past period of time. At this moment, it is preparing for the last voyage of this week.

In farther places, there are more merchant ships, large and small, docking beside the piers at all levels. They hang the flags of Cecil, the Ogure tribe or the Principality of the Holy Dragon, some with obvious Some are completely new modern ships, but no matter what the shape, they all have the same characteristics: the raised magic wings, and used to cope with the harsh sea environment and improve element resistance Protection system. The bows of some of these ships are also hung with the holy symbol of waves representing the power of the storm, which means that they will be protected by naga technicians during their voyage-when they enter the sea near the distant sea, these "official ships" It will become the core of a certain trading fleet and provide early warning services of disorderly turbulence for the entire fleet.

A short gray elf with short gray hair stands on the square next to the dock. He is wearing a small black dress, a special top hat, and a hardwood cane with light silver patterns in his hand. Looking up at the holographic projection floating next to the clock tower, the gray elf merchant still loosened his necktie from time to time in the cold sea breeze of Beigang, looking anxious and excited.

There are many people like him, watching the broadcast projection from afar on the edge of the square. They include local merchants from Cecil, gray elves or orcs from the Ogure region, and others from the Principality of Holy Dragon. The dragon descendants, and even the elves and mountain people dressed as mercenaries who don't know which merchant group they represent. These people come from different races and are all paying attention to the same scene at the moment.

"It's almost here...I'm almost here..." The short gray elf businessman didn't know how many times he pulled his neckline, and he muttered nervously.

A black-haired woman dressed as a sailor next to him couldn't help but glance down at him and reminded her aloud: "You have said this for the sixth time. Be patient, sir-all of us are waiting. "

"I've been waiting since yesterday!" The gray elf shook his body from side to side, and stepped on the ground with two casters in turn, "Damn, I even plan to set up a tent here... It's a pity that the sheriff won't let..."

The female did not respond. She raised her head and looked not far away. She saw the patrolling Beigang Security Team stopping at a nearby intersection. A red-haired female sheriff riding on a horse just turned her gaze to this side with her eyes Watch and pay attention.

A little further away, a group of dock workers who are resting seem to have finished their small chats, and are gradually walking towards the trestle bridge.

Above the large magic net terminal on the edge of the square, the holographic projection screen is again switching from an indoor studio to the outside scene of the venue. The voice from outside the screen is announcing loudly with a hint of excitement: "Just now, about the route around the mainland The launch of the law and the entry into force of the relevant maritime trade bill were unanimously passed..."

The square was quiet for about a second, when someone suddenly shouted: "The bill passed! The bill passed!"

The female sailor squinted her eyes, and she heard cheers coming from all directions, followed by the hastily shouting of many people. The short gray elf was screaming and running away, while running towards someone The assistant standing on the edge of the crowd shouted: "Mark! Go and load the ship! Let them load the ship immediately! The cargo list is passed!!

"Hurry up and let Nina go to get the new version of the pass...No, damn, I will go personally, let Nina go to the customs office, now I can sign!"

In the holographic projection above the Mowang terminal, a flag is shining brightly in the sun, and the excited voice is still outside the screen quickly explaining: "...After the bill takes effect, the original list of trade permits will be expanded by six. Times, ocean routes will also be opened to the private use. It is said that businessmen in Beigang area have been waiting for this good news a few days ago...

"According to the agenda of the meeting, the heads of state or plenipotentiary ambassadors will then vote on the establishment of the Food Committee. This special bill is designed to provide our new ally, the dragon from Tarrond, with necessary help and In the future, all countries in the alliance will keep watch and help each other to jointly solve the problem of global hunger and establish a basis for order...

"...Next let's turn the screen to..."

The program is still going on, but half of the merchants on the square have dispersed. Too many people have waited for the news at this port for too long, and there are still many who are still holding on. Some of them are doing it. For other businesses, I pay more attention to the follow-up other international resolutions, and some are just watching the lively local citizens. Now the interest is growing-the last small group are travelers from the Holy Dragon Principality, these are the blood of the dragon. The dragon descendants watched the program intensively. Some people's eyes had already turned into vertical pupils that symbolized the dragon, but they seemed unaware.

The black-haired female sailor watched this scene quietly. Although she looked like she was a worker on a nearby merchant ship, she was motionless when the merchants were leaving-she cleverly and Everyone around kept their distance, but kept it unobtrusive.

"...A maritime trade bill was passed, and the businessmen on the scene were greatly encouraged...This is a situation that has never been seen before. These people from all countries and races seem to be connected all at once. News from thousands of miles away disturbs the fate of so many people..."

The female sailor muttered softly, but her voice did not reach the second person nearby. A small amulet hung under her neck. The runes on the amulet flickered slightly in the shadow, exuding extremely secretiveness. Fluctuations.
