Chapter 257 (1/2)
Frost rose, zone 1, former rurnas, capital of the clock tower, mozwa.
The smoke pipes in the suburbs are emitting thick black smoke. Rows of neat factories are densely distributed on both sides of the river. Tall ships drive slowly from the river, bringing up a long wake. These ships sailed inland from the distant entrance to the sea, constantly unloading all kinds of heavy goods, some black coal, some heavy metals.
These things come from all over the world, and then they gather here, and they will be processed into various kinds of alchemy products, and then they will be sold to various places. It includes weapons, cannons, clocks, telescopes, metal parts and so on. The huge benefits made the alchemists of ruerna very rich.
The streets in the city are very spacious. The brass street lamps are exquisitely shaped. Unfortunately, some corners have been covered with a layer of light rust.
After the rain, there was a small amount of water on the road. With the rapid passing of carriages, a burst of water splashed. Some of these carriages are pulled by horses, some rely on machines, or should not be called carriages. Magic guide locomotive is more appropriate.
As a magic locomotive stopped, a housekeeper like middle-aged man got out of the car. Then he opened the door and helped a girl in a blue skirt to walk down.
High heels on the wet floor, a slight splash sound sounded. The girl with blonde hair and blue skirt looks up at the tall building in front of her lower body, and the long spire extends to the sky. There are four huge stone pillars in front of the main gate. People in clothes and shoes keep coming in and out of the gate, and there are all kinds of voices of conversation from time to time.
”Is this the branch of Aoni chamber of Commerce?” The girl was walking in front with her skirt, and several bodyguards in black were walking behind her. Looking at the exquisite patterns of the mechanical swords in the hands of these bodyguards, we can see that these are all excellent alchemy creations after enchantment.
”Yes, miss.”
The Housekeeper on one side leads the way, and then introduces the background of Aoni chamber of Commerce.
”Aoni chamber of commerce mainly deals in books and paper, and also in opera and deduction.”
”It is said that over the years, they have cultivated a group of famous singers to perform operas and poems, which has greatly increased the sales of their own books.” The housekeeper continued.
”Then their products should be very popular with those nobles or rich ladies. Why not set up the headquarters here? The rich people in mozwa should be the top three in Xuehua seven. Besides, compared with the merchants who are keen on interests, the alchemists and scholars in our country are more interested in literature and drama, and have more guests.”
”Well, it's said that most of their paper mills are located in Vilga, because they are close to the forest farm and some raw material producing areas, which is more convenient. Later, Vilga split up, and they were also divided to the West. Only part of the industries were transferred. ”
”New Vega...” the blonde lady thought deeply, then went into the hall and looked at the rows of windows and long lines.
”There are a lot of people. Have you made an appointment in advance?”
”The appointment is ready, miss. Please follow me. The person in charge of Aoni's branch is on the third floor.” The housekeeper walks in the front, and then asks an attendant behind him to contact the waiter in the chamber of Commerce first.
Soon after, several people in neat uniforms came forward to greet them.
”Welcome to the eldest miss of the shaglias. Please come with us.” A long red carpet lay down, then stood on both sides and bent to salute.
Looking at the grand scene on this side of the hall, some people nearby began to talk about it.
”Who is that lady? Let Aoni chamber of commerce so welcome. ”
”I don't know, but look at her appearance and the bodyguards around her. She should have been born into a big family.”
”No, but she is so beautiful.” One of the guests sighed.
”Well, well, come and go are just a few words. At least they are also literature lovers. Can't you use other adjectives“
”Isn't it just out of the mouth? It's better to be simple in life. Do any of you know that lady? I want to know her name
”But I don't know.”
”I don't know.”
