1014
The fat man's study is still in the old place, which is the top of the connection between the lighthouse and the castle in Vic Harbour, and it is also an excellent location for the scenery, on one side is the sparkling beautiful sea, and on the other hand, the streets and alleys are crowded with people and full of infinite vitality
The construction pattern of Vik Harbour is like seven huge inner rings, with the hilltop Vik Castle as the commanding height, and the city wall surrounded by seven layers in a row, turning the entire city into seven blocks, and introducing the river to the sea in the street circulation, the merchant ships carrying goods, the horse-drawn carriages laden with goods, and the cheerful pedestrians on the street all walk on the same plane, integrating artistic beauty and the defensive practicality of the castle
Walking along the lowest ring road, one hand can be touched by the ships that glide along the river, and the surface of the ship looks so incredible that anyone who comes to the city for the first time will feel a shock from the soul, and the countless shops along the street are walking hand in hand with each other, and the wounded mouth is not a couple who let out a burst of joyful laughter
The city of Northern Vik is known as the City of Hope by all the Salanders
The unbearable and devastation left by the smoke of war can no longer be seen here, and it is easier for people to forget the hardships that have happened here, whether it is the original northerners or the Salander people who migrated from the central part of the country, they have already regarded this place as the center of the north, and the new Kyoto of the Salander people
On the other hand, the Vicchians from across the sea regard it as the most prosperous center of trade, the place where countless dreams of wealth have been achieved, the best way to heal the wounds of war, and to fill it with peace and development
This is a miniature microcosm of the entire northern Salander, the northern part of the Saland, in the war with the Normanders, suffered the least loss and trauma because of the blockade in the middle, and as the Falcon Empire's dominance of the entire Salander was established, several of the traditional northern powers that firmly supported Nilai in the civil war became part of the northern dominions
Their fiefdoms were retained, but the number of their armies was reduced, and as compensation, the empire gave them the power to form family caravans, and their goods were also only charged half of the normal trade tax within Salander
Deterring each other by force, exchanging wealth for loyalty, the various forces in the north have successively recognized the female archduchess Nilai as the co-lord of the north, and the Falcon Empire has also completed the union of interests through Guò Nilai, and firmly tied the northern region of Salander to their rolling chariot
The beautiful scenery and developed maritime trade also made it a pure land for countless nobles affected by the war on the Ikadivar continent, yearning for migration, they sold their land manors and villas, and brought their families here, they injected new vitality into the recovery of the north, and the population of the north quickly broke through from the original 500,000 to 3.5 million in just one year, accounting for three-fifths of the total population of the entire Salander
The trade status of the northern port of Salander is like a huge transit point for goods, and the advantages of convenient crossroads on the sea route have made the mentality of the people of Salander change, and with the flourishing of commercial activities, the original ethnic boundaries have gradually faded into mutual exchange and integration, and even a stranger who has just stepped off the string of the ship will feel a warm atmosphere from the huge sign erected in the port, Salander welcomes you
Her Majesty, the beautiful Nilai gently pushed open the door of the study, she first looked at it playfully, and last night it was the princess Rui Tangtingna, who was on duty last night, and when she passed by the doorway corridor just now, Nilai did not see Rui Tangtingna's figure, it is possible that she went back to the room to rest, and there is another possibility, that is, in the room of the stupid fat man
This has become a tacit understanding among many princesses, and the fat man is not a very active person, so the rotation is a rare opportunity to get close to the Vecchia Falcon...,
Anyway, in terms of identity, she is a princess, even if she is on duty in the middle of the night, it is not uncommon to be on duty at night on the bed of His Majesty, in fact, in the eyes of many princesses, night duty and sleeping are the same meaning
But not all princesses are like this, a few princesses who have all kinds of difficult entanglements with fat people, such as Princess Harao of Ruierdian, Princess Agnhelen of Nord, are still very serious when they are on duty at night, but in fact, everyone knows that time will change, and when it is worth the bed of His Majesty, it is just a matter of time
Hearing the coquettish voice coming from behind him, the fat man who was thinking about the fate of the empire turned around from the windowsill outside the protruding wall, what's the matter, why did my grand duchess get up so early today
The fat man had a funny smile on the corner of his mouth, and a pair of black eyes were shining brightly, and he could see the white sun just rising from the sea from the windowsill behind him, and the white sun had just risen from the sea, and the mist and tranquility of Vic Harbour were like a girl in a white dress bathed in the morning light, and all kinds of ships were lined up and moored in the harbor below
In the upstream military port ten miles away from the port, a row of dragon tooth warships is majestically arranged into two rows, white sails have been erected in the nearby dock, two large supply ships are dangling out of the inside, a dragon tooth ship is dragging a medium-sized warship is sailing into the military port, dragging a white waterline on the sea
I heard that the navy has found a sea route to the Obaro continent on the other side, and I don't know if it's true, Nilai asked with a hesitant look on her pretty face
Sort of, at least now we don't have to grope our way forward, the fat man nodded affirmatively, according to the Admiralty's report, a dragon's tooth ship responsible for detecting the currents of the outer sea, accidentally encountered a fleet from the Obaro continent in the open sea, and this time we have obtained a very useful character, a governor of the port of the Obaro continent, I believe that with such a figure in his hands, the pace of the empire to the Obaro continent will be much faster
The Empire's Steps to O'Barro, His Majesty is going to expand its territory to the continent of O'Barro, Nilai blinked her beautiful eyes with a strange face, and said in a somewhat cold and dissatisfied tone, she has experienced the horror of war, and only then does she know that this peaceful situation is precious, Nilai really doesn't want to see the scene of her relatives being slaughtered and people displaced, isn't it already good now, why do you want to go to Obaro (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.)
