Chapter 520: Face-to-face

To put it mildly, as the convoy slowly drove into the city of Wende, the scene in the city slowly entered the eyes of the elves, and the look of wonder in their eyes never faded, as if they were the villagers who had entered the big city for the first time.

Streets full of order, traffic lights placed next to intersections, and even the police do not need to actively mediate, convoys and pedestrians can obediently obey the order of the intersection.

Knight Potts explained these things to them one by one, although he himself was not very familiar with them, after all, he had been away from the Sorrowful Wind Territory for nearly a year, and this year was enough time for the Sad Wind Territory to undergo earth-shaking changes, for example, he also returned to the Sad Wind Territory to know that this former duke had officially become a principality, and it was not subordinate to the Kingdom of Kolo, it was a completely independent principality.

Just as the head maid expected, the development of Wende City has reached a bottleneck, in the past nearly a year, there have not been many changes on the surface, but there are many real changes.

Knight Potts didn't know much about this, he didn't understand what 'price reduction' was, what 'paper money' was, and he would be surprised to see that people were trading with a kind of 'paper'.

But if it's just a brief introduction to the city, then his knowledge of Wende City is enough.

"More than two years ago, Winde City wasn't ......that big"

The captain sat beside the knight of Potts with a cloak on his body, and watched as the knight held the reins in one hand and drew a quadrilateral shape in the air with a horsewhip in the other.

"At that time, Wende City was still divided into four districts, and commoners were rarely able to set foot in the noble district, in addition to the temple area, the civilian area, and the castle area. ”

When he said this, a gloating smile spread across Knight Potts' face.

"Well, who wants to go to the aristocratic district now? The new town is an extension of the civilian district and the temple district, and it is not quite right to call these names now, but the head maid has no new plan for the time being, and we don't know what to call those districts. ”

"Now our location is the new city, originally Wende City was only a city with a population of tens of thousands, but now the population is almost 100,000!"

Knight Poz pointed to the buildings on both sides of the road that were very different from the elves' impression and the other towns, "These, those, were built by the head maid! You know? These are all supported by some steel bars, which is why they are built so high, and if it were not for magic, it would have taken a long time to build, but these buildings, these areas, have been built in the last two years. ”

Although the Knight of Potts didn't want to irritate the elf captain who led the team, this was also something that he would have to come into contact with sooner or later, and now a large part of the prosperity of the Duchy of Sorrow is based on 'magic', without magic, even if they are prosperous in business, they will not be able to rise in a short time.

Even the Knight of Potts knew that the factory district was now very dependent on magic - he couldn't tell the difference between 'magic' and 'magic', for him, there was not much difference between magic and magic.

In fact, if a magical machine wants to use magical energy, it needs to engrave runes and magic circles in the machine.

The captain nodded silently, but said nothing.

He also knew very well in his heart that the knight of Boz had carefully mentioned it to them many times along the way, and he had already been mentally prepared.

But when he really heard it, his mood was still a little complicated, looking at the buildings around him, he didn't think there was anything wrong with those buildings, it was just ...... Feeling uncomfortable.

“...... Moving on, I want to get to know the city. ”

After hearing the captain's words, Valery Potts, who was initially dull, took a breath and continued: "Now...... There are a lot of 'factories' in the Stormy Territory - places that are similar to workshops, but where products can be 'mass-produced'. ”

"I'm sure you've also found it at Blade Fortress, we've stopped using parchment and instead used a new type of paper, which is made from broken fishing nets, tree bark, rags, hemp, and trees, and is very cheap to make, and easy to manufacture, and can be produced in a steady stream, which is what 'mass production' means. ”

The Knight of Potts used some coined words when introducing this kind of city to the captain, so it needs to be explained.

He looked at the crowded road, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he chuckled: "In addition to the 'Cai Hou Paper', the head maid has also brought us many new things, and the current development of the Sad Wind Collar is also because the head maid's policy is very correct. You may not believe it, but although the nobles are not completely subservient to the rule of the chief maid and the lord, they all need to 'obey' the 'orders' of the chief maid and the lord!"

When he said this, the knight of Potts raised his chin slightly, and his pride was overflowing.

The captain raised his eyebrows, in his cognition, although the nobility of human beings was nominally subordinate to a certain country and obeyed the king of the country, in reality it would not be like that.

It is not so much a 'subordination' relationship as a 'alliance', even the king cannot command his nobles at will, and each territory has its own tax rate and laws, so there is such a thing as a 'trade route' in the world.

But listening to Valery Potze, the Grand Duke and the chief maid seemed to be able to send nobles at will in this principality, which was diametrically opposed to his perception.

"There is no country in the world like us, the Principality of the Howling Wind is a 'rebel' in human society, and all of us from top to bottom are great rebels!" Although he said so, the captain could see the contempt contained in the corners of the mouth of the Boz Knight.

This made him feel a little more relaxed, at least, from Valery Potts's words, the duchy seemed to be fighting against other countries.

Knight Poz didn't have any dislike for the 'rebellious' identity, on the contrary, he had long been tired of the rules and regulations of this world.

The head maid led them to break the shackles of these 'rules' and liberate them, and all the pots were carried by the lord, who made him a black dragon? Black dragons are inherently chaotic - just like the territorial crest of the 'Sword and the Black Dragon', they are inherently rebellious!

Oh no, that should be called the flag and the 'national emblem' now!

"The power of magic has entered every aspect of our lives......"

As he spoke, Knight Boz observed the captain's face under the hood before continuing: "Now we can't do without 'magic', but we are completely different from the Arcane Empire and the Kurkut Empire! At least, they will never use magic for people's livelihood!"

The Knight of Potts had fully accepted the tunes of Serena's maid, and was proud and proud of his country for doing practical things for the people.

Only in this can it be more clearly shown that they are different from the traditional aristocracy, they are greater than the sage and aristocrats, they can make the common people under their rule fed, they can make the common people under their rule rich, which no one else can do - no other country can do it!

Knight Potts smiled mysteriously and raised an eyebrow at the captain, "The introduction is here first, the town hall is in front, maybe you will be very surprised after seeing those things, but you must adjust your mood, because the next thing we are going to meet is the supreme ruler of this country, the chief servant of Serena!"

The captain nodded silently and watched as the carriage slowly approached the building......

“...... I would like to ask a question. ”

The silent captain turned his head to look at the knight of Poz and asked suspiciously, "You said that the supreme ruler of this country is the 'chief maid', then...... Where's your Grand Duke?"

In an instant, the smile of the Poz knight froze on his face.
