Chapter 257: Great scholar entering the city
The Griffin Knights were too conspicuous.If they openly entered Central State City, wasn’t that telling everyone that Imperial City had sent an army?If Chu Tian made an extreme move, then even the citizens would be implicated!
It would be best to secretly capture Chu Tian, not causing any disturbance in Central State.
“Don’t alert the enemy, so hide your mounts.We’ll sneak into Central State City and find Chu Tian’s whereabouts before capturing him in one fell swoop!”Gu Qianqiu gave their arrangements to Cao Bao, “After Southern State’s Western Marquis appears, we’ll hand Chu Tian over to him and help him escort him to Imperial City!”
“Then great scholar……”
“Just take care of grabbing him.I will be in charge of investigating Chu Tian’s crimes.”
“Yes!”
“Chu Tian is very arrogant, so he might have an expert by his side.Even the Nangong Family’s True Soul Realm expert was crippled by him, so you must be careful with this mission!”
“Please be assured great scholar, we will definitely complete this mission!”
“Then go!”
The royal knights all had harsh requirements for being picked.Not only were they the country’s strongest knight group, they were all elites that could fight with various strategies.Any member could be sent into the elite Storm Cavalry group and could be made a thousand man commander.
This was the Southern Summer Country’s special elite force.How difficult could kidnapping a person be?
Cao Bao led the other royal knights forward, immediately blending into Central State City.
Gu Qianqiu entered through the Central State docks because normally, wandering scholars entered a city through the docks.However, when Gu Qianqiu entered Central State City’s docks, he was shocked by the scene.
Of the eight Southern Summer states, which one had Gu Qianqiu not gone to?
The Qing State harbour was the largest because Qing State was the resource supplier of the country, developing their resource transportation.There were over two hundred ships in the dock at all time, creating a magnificent scene.
He was shocked when he entered Central State City because the Central State docks was twice that size.There were at least three-four hundred large ships with ten-twenty thousand people working, creating a shocking scene!
What was even more astonishing was the fact that the Central State docks were still expanding.In just another month or so, it would double in size!
This was like the picture of a rich shipping environment!
When did Central State become this developed?
There were countless factories actively working near Central State City, with beast carriages going in and out, carrying all kinds of products.It was a very lively and powerful picture.
Strange, strange.
Not even half a month had passed since Central State’s chaos.
Not only did Central State show no degradation, it even became more lively, which was a truly unimaginable picture.While Gu Qianqiu was in a daze, the sky suddenly became a bit darker.When Gu Qianqiu looked up, his chin almost fell to the ground.
What was this thing?
There were three circles in the sky that seemed like three giant egg monsters, moving quickly in one direction.Gu Qianqiu had never seen this thing before.It was like a hot air balloon, but it was not like a normal hot air balloon because this thing was moving very quickly, clearly having a powerful system in it.
There was a basket hanging underneath each giant egg.
Gu Qianqiu silently watched the “giant eggs” descend outside Central State City, stopping over a single warehouse before slowly descending.When it was less than three meters from the ground, the basket suddenly opened up and two people walked out, throwing bags of heavy ores onto the ground in front of the warehouse.
The three “giant eggs” had a shocking capacity, being able to carry a small mountain.
When the unloading was down, the giant egg once again slowly ascended before slowly heading off in a direction.
Gu Qianqiu was so shocked that he could not say a thing.At the same time, as a scholar, he was always curious about new things.
He arrived in front of the warehouse to see many workers moving about.He asked in a curious voice, “Little brother, what was that thing flying in the air?”
“You must have just come to Central State City!”A fine dressed worker had a cigarette in his mouth as he proudly said, “This thing can only be seen in Central State City.It is called the Miracle Airship, having a carrying capacity equal to a small ship!”
“That’s right!These ores were just sent over from South Sky City.They were called…..”
“Hidden Image Stone!”
“Right, right, it was called that.”
“This Miracle Airship flies right to the mine and then delivers it to Central State City.”
“You have to know, this mine is in the remote mountains that even beast carriages can’t go to.It would take a lot of effort to deliver from the mine to South Sky City, not to mention from South Sky City to the far Central State City.It would take at least seven-ten days and it would be filled with danger!However with this Miracle Airship, the mining and transport efficiency has increased ten fold!”
Too shocking!
This was definitely an important air carrier tool!
This era was too rich in resources, but for a kingdom and a small kingdom at that, there weren’t many that could be mined.The majority of resources were blocked by geographical and environmental factors and could not be tapped into.
Just like Qing State’s Green Ridge.
It was the largest resource sector in the Southern Summer Country!
However, the resource currently surveyed was less than one percent.Why was that?It was because the mountains were high and the rivers were deep.It was hard to enter and hard to transport, so they could only look and not mine!
“With this airship, we could replace ships in transporting.”
“No it won’t work.The airship’s capacity is not small, but it’s far from being able to compare to a large ship.Moreover, the airship’s travel distance is limited, only suited for travel across states and not transcontinental travel.”
