Chapter 397: The world is already changing, but many people haven't noticed it yet

The rapid growth of Wende City has stopped, but the city is still changing.

Although the merchants of the Business Alliance were already familiar with this speed of change, they were still in a trance every time they woke up early in the morning to find that Wende City had changed again.

Especially when they walked into the mall and saw that there were more than a dozen mages sitting on the ground around the 'Magic Energy Furnace', they felt a little dizzy.

"Study Mission ...... the Kurkut Empire"

Nelson heard someone sighing beside him again, and he sighed along.

When he heard about it before, he felt a little unreal, but then he thought awkwardly, 'This is in Windcity, nothing is impossible'......

In just a year and a half, Wende City was shaped into what it is today by the legendary head maid, and it has become the 'City of Miracles' it is today.

Although it may be inferior to the national capitals of other countries, and even some developed cities, Wende City definitely has the potential to surpass those cities, and the economic situation is only because the population of Wende City is not enough, even now, the permanent population of Wende City is still a long way from the number of '50,000'.

After all, this is the Storm Leader, adjacent to the Black Forest, and many recruits may die in the confrontation with the beast tide in the first place, and in that huge beast tide, even extraordinary knights are in danger of dying, let alone the low-level soldiers who have not reached the 'transcendent'.

There is a saying in the Grim Wind Territory that except for the people of the noble family, the ancestors of everyone in the Sorrowful Wind Territory were once part of the army, and everyone has a glorious blood flowing in their bodies.

Although this is just a joke used by the knights to mock the mage nobles for their inaction, it is only 'everyone' who is wrong, and the right is 'more than eighty percent' - in the Sadwind Realm, most of the people's ancestors have joined the army and fought against the monsters of the Black Forest, and most of them have glorious blood in their veins.

Therefore, the population of the Sadwind Territory has always been small, whether it is in Wende City or in other parts of the Sadwind Territory.

Although Nelson had a hard time believing that the civilians around him with happy smiles had the combat ability of a soldier, he couldn't believe it.

Plants and animals that grow next to the Mana Vein will be 'magically impregnated' and turn into what people call 'monsters'.

The monsters that grow next to the mana ore vein, because those minerals with magic power have specific classifications, and the magic wave bands emitted by the same mineral are basically the same, so the monsters that appear in other places outside the Black Forest can be found in some records in books.

After eating the flesh of that monster, it will not be 'magically impregnated', but unlike the monsters in the Black Forest, they are themselves a source of infection.

Eating the flesh of the monsters in the Black Forest will also make you be 'magically impregnated', and it may be okay to eat a little, but back then, the entire Sorrowful Wind Territory fell into a famine, and the Kolo Kingdom was powerless to help, and in those years, even the mainland nobles were too busy to take care of themselves, let alone support the Sad Wind Territory.

There are very few pure-blooded humans in the Grim Winds Realm these days, which Nelson has only recently learned.

Here, even a small child can be stronger than an adult woman......

In the Grim Wind Territory, everyone has a little magic flowing in their blood, and if you need a living sacrifice, or use it as a body for magical experiments, there is no doubt that the children of the Sad Wind Territory are the most suitable.

In order to prevent the Sad Wind Leader from being violated, the army and knights can only do their best to become stronger, which leads to the fact that even if the nobles of the Kolo Kingdom have long coveted what the Sad Wind Leader has, they only dare to prepare some dirty means to seize the Sad Wind Territory after the old duke dies of illness, because they themselves know that they can't beat the Sad Wind Leader at all.

Although the people of the Sad Wind Leader were not pure-blooded humans, and Nelson looked down on them in his heart, he would never dare to show it on the surface.

The lord of this territory is not a human, and his sister is also a half-blood dragonborn, although the civilians of the Sadwind Lords cannot be confused with the dragonborns, but Nelson really showed that kind of arrogant face, then those who came to the meeting and had decided to join the business alliance, but because they discriminated against these civilians who were not pure humans, they were kicked out of the sadwind and expelled from the business alliance.

There was some contempt in his heart, but Nelson didn't dare to say it...... Nor will it be said!

He looked at the bright shopping mall, saw the dazzling array of shops, and his mood was complicated, and he didn't know how to feel.

Times are no longer the same...... In Nelson's eyes, times have indeed changed.

It is no longer the era of tyranny of merchants, if in the past, there were only one or a few shops in a town, and no matter how high the price was raised, there would always be people who would come to buy it.

In the past, transportation was not only inconvenient, but also life-threatening if you left the town, so some people never left the town or village where they lived in their lives.

However, that has changed now!

After the rise of the Sad Wind Leader, everything is about to change, and now it is the Sad Wind Leader that will change, and where will change next, Nelson doesn't know, but he knows that the world is about to change dramatically.

In Windtown, he understood what it meant to 'shop around', and that it was so accessible that Nelson almost wanted to live here, and he thought how much more money they could make if that kind of road could be extended to other countries, or if other countries could have this kind of road!

Here, he learned that 'wealth can only create more wealth if it is circulated', and that without the injection of foreign money, without the money to buy raw materials, without the payment of workers' wages, and the shutdown of factories, it is naturally impossible to produce goods.

"When I go back, I plan to build a ......factory," Nelson said when he heard the merchants who came to visit the mall with him, "no matter how much I look at it, how many times I see it, I think this place is beautiful, and if the commerce of the whole continent becomes developed in the future, then this kind of 'mall' will become everywhere, right?"

The businessman rarely did not have a smirk, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Even if I lose money at the beginning, I have to build a factory!" Just like the lady said, building a factory is like opening up a trade route, and after collecting enough information, the development of a trade route may not be ten times safe, but there is a great possibility of success. And businessmen, aren't they good at 'taking risks'? If we follow the rules, then we can only usher in decline. Nelson, what are you going to do when you get back?"

Nelson was caught off guard by a question, and he was a little overwhelmed, "I ......"

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say or what to say, but Nelson hesitated when he thought of the 'road network' that connected all the towns of the Sadwind Territory.

"I'm going to—" Nelson paused, for he didn't know if he was right.

But finally, under the expectant gaze of the merchant, Nelson gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to build the road!"

After saying this, Nelson suddenly felt a lighter inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the businessman—still surprised!

The merchant's eyes widened and he looked at Nelson in disbelief, as if he had seen some kind of monster.

Nelson smiled and explained, "As you know, my chamber of commerce is mainly engaged in the transportation of high-grade timber and minerals, and if the roads between several towns can be repaired, it will be of great benefit to my chamber of commerce. I'll try to negotiate with a few lords to get them to allow me to repair the road, and of course, I'll also charge a 'toll', after all, I can't give anyone else a free road, right?"

Nelson smiled and looked to the third floor, to his shop.

He saw that the people lingered in front of his shop for a moment, and then quickly left, and he was stunned.

"Two days later, or in a few days, I will propose to the city hall to buy methods and materials to repair the road...... Times have changed, and we have to make some changes. ”
