Chapter 1072: Gathered (2/2)
"So it is!"
...
In the eastern part of the city, in the industrial area, a construction site is under intense and busy construction. The huge magic machinery is roaring. In this season when the weather is getting warmer, hurry up to catch up with the construction progress that is delayed due to the winter-even though the holiday atmosphere is strong. But for Cecil, who is developing rapidly, many projects in this city will not be completely stopped due to holidays.
A short stature, with a yellow beard and messy hair, Baramo Heigang, wearing a black light armor, stood on the open space beside the road, staring at the huge mechanical grabs as if they were being picked up. A ball of cotton moved the heavy steel and earth and rock to the reserved position. The dwarf messenger from Forge City flushed with excitement, and hit the shoulders of his partner with his sturdy arms: "Hi Paladin!! This thing seems to be more powerful than our runestone giant! No wonder you want to understand the Cecilian magic skills and introduce them into the Forge City-I was convinced by you , I will go back and speak to Your Majesty Morton with you!"
"You are persuaded by the facts, not by me," said Paladin Huishanyan, who was also short, with gray beard and hair, gruffly, his voice was like thunder in the mountains, he looked at those The heavy-running machinery had the same excitement in its eyes, "I saw their mechanical ships in Baiyu Port. At that time, I knew that these infinite things are going to change the world sooner or later-look at these steels, Look at these stones, and then look at the robotic beasts. Our iron and stone hills and forge mountains are full of occasions where the beasts can be used... The only pity is that these things don't seem to be cheap."
"Yes, it's not cheap. There are many good things in this world, but they are all clearly marked with prices-Cecil's machines and potions, the ores and crystals in the eastern part of the continent, the elves' medicine materials and rare wood, in the forge The guys in the city who stay at home can't imagine the cost of these things," Baramo Heigang said as he fell silent, after a short period of thought, he showed a serious expression, "but if according to Gawain Sai The promise made by His Majesty Sill will greatly reduce the cost of trade between countries after becoming a member of the alliance, and many things that were originally listed as restricted exports will also open up channels, plus the south and north ring mainland routes. Restart and open up, the transportation cost of bulk trade goods will also become very low."
"If these promises can be fulfilled," Paladin Huishanyan murmured, "Open the route to the south and the north of the mainland... The former route to the mainland only lasted for a short time, but the glory of the time still remains in the history books. It was an exciting time in terms of the record... Now it is indeed a feat that the route around the mainland can be reproduced in the world, but I am not very optimistic about it."
"Really?" Baramo Heigang said casually, "this matter is good for everyone."
"Yes, it’s good for everyone—because everyone doesn’t have a ship that can be used for ocean voyages at this time, but this is another matter for the two human empires. Connecting the circum-continental route means not only Cecil, even the Typhon Empire must also open its own ports and shipping routes, and complete the docking with the Cecilian shipping route system-I have no doubt that those mechanical ships are capable of running around the entire continent, but the premise is The Typhons can really accept the conditions of the Cecils. After all, as far as we know, Typhon’s national power has been hit hard, and they are even unable to build a few more new ships. At this time, if they open the route, the whole The dominance of the circum-continental route will undoubtedly fall completely into Cecil's hands... In the future, Typhons will be relieved if they want to compete for the share of the ocean, it will not be so easy."
"The biggest regret is not not being able to get the treasure, but being able to return with a full load, but being unable to intervene for a while and missed...The truth in the mountains is equally useful on the sea," Baramo shook his head, and then looked a little surprised. To his partner, "I didn't expect you to have considered this matter so far-there is a huge distance between Typhon and Cecil from Forge City."
"But now the whole world is going to be connected. You are here on a magic train. You know that the distance between thousands of rivers and mountains will be shortened sooner or later," Paladin Huishanyan spread his hands. "There are few people in Forge City who will look Throwing out of the mountains, but we always need someone to understand the changes in the world. Fortunately, I usually have a lot of free time. At least I can think about the future more than those who only know how to deal with stones all day."
"The future... the future is not so easy to understand," Baramo said, blowing the beard around his mouth and letting those proud hairs fly. "I feel that my brain is already working today. Enough, in order to have a good spirit tomorrow, I think the two of us better go have a drink next."
Paladin’s eyes lit up immediately: “It’s just what I want, and I have a suggestion—don’t go to any bar to waste time. Really good wine won’t be put on those fancy counters. I know there is a cold shop in the city. The place where the Frost Resistance Potion is so powerful..."
Baramo cast a suspicious look: "Frost resistance potion? Are you sure? That thing sounds like some kind of alchemy potion..."
"Trust my judgment. I tried it in Baiyu Port. The human alchemist is more talented than you think." Paladin's eyes were bright, and his voice sounded like a bell, proudly as if those cold resistance potions were invented by him. In general, "52-degree sauce-flavor type-it is said that even the northern dragon can't refuse the good taste in those small bottles!"
Baramo looked at his partner’s nostalgic look, and had no doubt in his heart that the other party’s judgment on fine wines. After dispelling the doubts in his mind, he could only sigh: It is indeed the capital of the rising star of humanity, Cecil, this place even has a bottle The potions are so unusual...
...
When envoys from the North and the West gathered at the transit station in Cecil City, near the Elf stronghold in the northeast of the Gondor Wasteland, the great eagles from the Silver Empire were flying through the clear and high blue sky.
The air in the north is much colder than in the south. Although the high-altitude airflow is blocked by the breeze shield, it seems that there is still a hint of coolness infiltrating in. Percetia Morningstar narrowed her eyes slightly, she shared the vision of a giant eagle. The elf outpost in the distance has entered her sight.
Those shiny antenna devices, streamlined roofs and towers all point to the blue sky, looking slender but powerful and beautiful.
A huge flock of dozens of giant eagles lined up around her, looking quite spectacular.
The voice of the pilot elf came from the magic brooch: "Your Majesty, we are already close to the 112 outpost and we will land in fifteen minutes."
"I see." Percetia replied simply, her eyes swept to the sides at the distant outpost.
Cecil is to the west, Typhon is to the east.
"It's been more than seven hundred years..." the ruler of the Silver Empire muttered to himself, "Unknowingly, mankind has been divided for seven hundred years... I thought I would never see them again. Together."
