Sword of Dawn

"This is the most basic, but if you really plan to operate it as a big project, just doing these basics is not enough," Gao Wen laughed, and he suddenly became very interested in this matter-this is not only It is an opportunity to win over the dragons and further explore the secrets of Tarrond. If it is operated properly, this will also be the first time in the history of the Loren Continent to establish exchanges with other continents. The foundation and promotion of many blank areas behind this is It is unimaginable, "You should establish some supporting services in an all-round way, such as setting up travel agencies at all levels in the Loren Continent, which should be familiar to you - Mithril Treasure's business in this area is more or less the foundation; secondly, you You should also set up a suitable 'visit route' in the Loren Continent, and try to extract profits from it as much as possible, and you can also engage in some value-added business..."

Gao Wen purposely said it in a very general way, but this really aroused Melita's interest further, and Miss Blue Dragon immediately moved closer: "So what's the specifics?"

"First of all, there are many kinds of people who are interested in mysterious lands like Tarrond, including citizens with little savings and curiosity, adventurers with an exploratory spirit, and those interested in dragon culture and exotic knowledge Scholars, including aristocrats who are full of novel ideas, foolish and rich, you have to divide the business according to these people, such as economic group, boutique group, luxury group, and then get a few special cultural inspection groups, Exotic exploration groups and so on. In fact, most of the places you take them to are similar. After all, there are only a few safe areas there, but you must make a distinction when you promote them. You must make each level attractive enough , but also to blow out the feeling of different grades, and then get a few different grades of inns and hotels, so that all the consumption is worth the money...

"Then there is the tour route. After all, most of the area there is still wasteland. You can't really throw guests into the wasteland, so you need to plan some areas that are safe enough and attractive enough to come out, such as The proven factory ruins, city ruins, or battlefield ruins in the wilderness—maybe you think those ruins are not worth visiting, but believe me, everything that happened on that land is worth understanding, And those who have traveled thousands of miles to Tarrond... what they want to know is everything behind those ruins.

"Finally, there are value-added services. Those rich people who go to Tarrond travel thousands of miles. It would be a loss if they just go to see the scenery-after all, this kind of thing can also be done through magical illusions and memory implants. To achieve a similar effect, so if you want to make these people feel that their trip is worthwhile, then you have to think of some irreplaceable projects. For example, you can do some "wasteland survival experience" or "Tallond folklore simulation" What……"

In the middle of Gao Wen's words, Melita suddenly couldn't help interrupting: "The experience of living in the wasteland? Why does this sound...a bit dangerous?"

"Ahem, it's not what you imagined," Gao Wen coughed dryly, and the thoughts in his mind quickly took shape, "It's certainly not possible to bring people into the wasteland to experience extreme survival, but you can let them live in a safer place Participate in things that can only be found in the wasteland area. For example, give them some tools, let them experience how to dismantle and recycle dragon buildings, let them experience how to filter clean water from polluted water, let them experience how to operate your production machinery ..."

The more Melita listened, the more dumbfounded she became, and finally she couldn't help interrupting: "Wait, you asked them to do work for us—and then charged money?"

"...This is an experience project," Gao Wen said with a serious face after being quiet for two seconds, "and after the experience, you should give them some souvenirs—for example, choose some from the finished products they produced, and stamp them beautifully. Ordered packaging or something. If you don’t need the extra output, you can also put it in the store on the tour route and sell it to other tour groups..."

Melita felt that it was difficult to close her mouth, and she couldn't help asking: "The so-called Tarrond folklore simulation..."

"The glorious scenes of Tarrond in the old days are definitely gone now, and you will not be able to restore similar things in a short time-but the visitors don't know this. You just have some special food, living, and social activities. , entertainment scenes, if you have spare capacity, build a few more experience areas, claiming to the outside world that it is to 'let guests experience the life of a dragon for a day'... Anyway, you have a history of more than 100 million years. I have inquired about it. The landforms of the continent and the survival mode of the ethnic group have been reshaped several times, so no matter how bizarre the "experience" project you designed, there must be a corresponding one in the history of more than 100 million years, and it is not a lie to say it...

"You can throw this project into the luxury group. It's okay to charge a little higher. Most of the people who participate in it should be nobles and wealthy businessmen. For them, 'experience the life of a dragon' is better than your injection of synergists. .”

Melita's expression was a little numb: "If you have any other ideas, just say it..."

"Indeed there are still some," Gao Wen thought for a while, nodded and said, "For example, for different groups of people, you can further refine the tour items.

"For example, for those scholars who are interested in the culture of Tarrond, you can build some facilities such as exhibition halls and academic museums, and clean up the scrap copper and rotten iron that you have collected from the ruins and can be made public. In it, briefly introduce their functions and one or two short stories related to them. For this knowledge, those scholars are even willing to live in it for ten days and a half months;

"For those nobles who want to experience excitement and show off but can't really set foot in dangerous places, you can order some thrilling projects for them, such as flying them over lava lakes, taking them through storm clouds and so on— — We all know this is a risk-free thing for the dragon and the passengers protected by the dragon, but for those who have never experienced it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can also provide photos during these projects Service, record the customer's "heroic attitude" when challenging the project - the printed photo is charged per copy, the photo crystal is purchased separately, and paid delivery is available...

"Yes, paid delivery can also be a very important fee item-the dragon personally brought someone's 'adventure evidence' from the sky to the human world, to show everyone that a certain heroic story is true...you know those How much would the nobles be willing to pay to show off at this moment? Especially the remaining nobles of Cecil and Typhon who have been deprived of many privileges and can only be bored in the family castle and recall the glory of the past...

"Of course, this project shouldn't last long. As giant dragons come into contact with the Loren Continent more frequently, the dragon clan's sense of mystery to ordinary people will decrease...but it will take at least ten or even decades."

Melita listened in a daze. Just as Gao Wen paused, she couldn't help asking: "And then?"

"Then... you can also consider some more special projects. Let me give you an example. If Tarrond is opened, there will definitely be many adventurers interested in it. Now Loren Continent, apart from the core wasteland area, The land in most areas is owned, and with the rise of trade activities across the continent and the start of large-scale development in various countries, there will be fewer and fewer unexplored areas in the future. In addition, various security companies, regional defense companies, etc. With regularization, the living space of traditional adventurers will inevitably be rapidly compressed—under such circumstances, Tarrond will become a fertile ground for these adventurers facing unemployment.

"You can open up some quotas for these adventurers. Their strength may be weak compared to giant dragons, but they are numerous and have strong fighting spirit. Since they can survive the fierce competition until now, most of them still have some skills. Yes. Set an entry threshold for them, and let the adventurers who pass the assessment go to areas they can handle. Aren’t you suffering from the rampant elemental creatures and wandering spirits in certain areas, which always involves the energy of rebuilding the team? Let the adventurers Those who want to deal with those things. Believe me, as long as they are properly allocated, don't let them go to the depths of the wasteland, and only do some low-intensity clearance work in the fringe areas. Those adventurers from the Loren continent are definitely professional.

"In this way, more dragons will inevitably be freed from trivial patrolling tasks around the camp - those weaker elemental creatures shouldn't involve too much energy from the dragons, they are too affecting your reconstruction progress. "

When Gao Wen said this, his expression became more serious. He knew that behind this matter was not as simple as "economic benefits" - a land that had been blocked for millions of years was about to open its doors, no matter what form it took with the Loren Continent. Making connections, the consequences of which are bound to be far-reaching, deserves to be taken seriously.

Melita also listened carefully to Gao Wen's words. She had some doubts on her expression at first, but as her thinking deepened, her doubts quickly faded away. After realizing the feasibility of this matter, she raised her head: "This is indeed a good way... Everyone can get something. I think even Speaker Andal shouldn't mind providing suitable rewards for those adventurers..."

"What kind of remuneration do you offer?" Gao Wen immediately waved his hand, "You should charge."

Melita: "...huh?"

"The travel expenses to Tarrond, the registration fee, and the hunting license processing fee for a specific area," Gawain said with a face of course, "and your hunting licenses are graded—the ones that have just passed the examination Adventurers can only patrol and hunt in the area near the camp, and only issue low-level hunting licenses. After they have proved their strength and accumulated enough qualifications, they will be replaced with more advanced licenses, so that they can go deeper. Anyway, you guys Pay attention to good supervision and inspections to prevent some too reckless adventurers from jumping into the danger zone and die - this is also responsible for their lives..."

Melita: "...Then why do those adventurers accept such conditions?"

"The hunting proceeds belong to the individual," Gawain spread his hands, "You probably don't have any idea about this kind of relatively 'low-level' things—you know that the elemental creatures and mana spirits are already flooding in Tarrond. , how scarce and high-value prey is it in Loren Continent?"

Melita: "..."

After that, Gawain told Melita a lot of ideas—most of them came to him suddenly at this moment.He kept talking for a long time, until the night outside the window was thick and the town was lit up with a large number of lights, those rough thoughts gradually formed a systematic thread.

Melita's expression was already a little numb.

When Gao Wen's explanation finally came to an end, the blue dragon lady couldn't help staring into Gao Wen's eyes, and finally broke the silence after a long time: "...Everyone says that dragons are greedy, extremely obsessed with treasures, good at plundering wealth and accumulating treasures ..."

"Don't talk like that, most of this was originally written and circulated when you were traveling in the human world." Gao Wen immediately waved his hand, "The world didn't say that."

"...Well, I won't discuss these details," Melita coughed dryly, "What I mean is—we dragons are really keen on collecting treasures and are good at accumulating wealth, but now I suddenly feel that you are better than us dragons. Returning to the Dragon Clan..."

Gao Wen thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong: "Why does this sound like a curse?"

"This is a compliment from the bottom of my heart," Melita said sincerely, "I'm really surprised by your thoughts."

"So what's your evaluation?" Gao Wen asked, "What do you think of my plans?"

Melita lowered her head to think seriously, and said softly after a long time: "I have indeed written some stories about evil dragons coming to the human world to plunder wealth, and some of my fellow tribes are also keen to fabricate 'villain novels' in this regard, But now I know that robbing is not the fastest way to get money... Your idea is much more ruthless than robbing money."

Gao Wen: "...I still think you are cursing people."

"It's really a compliment, and it's from the bottom of my heart," Melita laughed, with a sudden sense of relief and joy in that smile, "I must thank you, thank you for these suggestions... Tarron Dekong With a superb civilization, my people have been raised as 'babies' by Omega. After leaving Omega, we found that we lack even basic survival skills and foreign exchange experience. Without your suggestions... really I don’t know how we can take the first step of revitalization.”

Chapter 1097 Establishment

In fact, Gawain understands the plight of Tarrond right now—not referring to the plight caused by the wasteland after the disaster, but the plight of the dragon race itself.

A race that has been raised by Omega for 1807 million years, a race that has survived in the cradle for 1807 million years, although they have always maintained the most basic observation of the outside world, they have also sent "agents" like Melita to other places However, these limited and high-angle contacts have little effect on a society that needs normal development. They have long been far away from the normal social order, neither progressing nor regressing, neither pressure nor motivation , Just like animals grown in a greenhouse, they still have fangs and claws, but they have degenerated to the point where they do not know how to use them.

After the cradle collapses, the baby learns to crawl—and that has little to do with how powerful the dragon itself is.

But Tarrond still has his own hope: the "great dragons" like Andal survived, they have past survival experience, and the "new generation" like Melita who has been in contact with the outside world also survived, they It has the power to change the ethnic group, and as long as these two groups maintain a certain voice among the dragons, the revival of Tarrond is just around the corner.

For Gawain, who urgently needs to enhance the overall "disaster resilience" of this world, he is happy to see the revival of Tarrond, and the sooner the better - to put it bluntly, he needs a powerful race like a dragon Help "carry the disaster".

Gawain shook his head, temporarily putting aside these thoughts irrelevant to the current situation, he looked up at Melita, and suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment: "Actually, I was a little hesitant when I told you this at first—— I'm afraid that the subject of this will offend you, and even lead you to think it's some kind of ... offense."

Melita was a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"What happened in Tarrond is a disaster—you have lost too many things, and that wasteland is a huge scar for the Dragon Clan," Gawain sighed, "Pack the scar into a place for people to visit and play." 'Landscape', and even package their own cultural traditions into commodities for sale, I don't know if this is acceptable to the Dragon Clan..."

Melita was quiet for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly smiled slightly: "Is it worse than selling the flesh and bones of my compatriots?"

Gao Wen: "...?"

"We have considered a worse situation than this," Melita smiled. "My friend, the problem facing Tarrond today is 'survival', not decency and individual emotions. Let more compatriots survive, in the shortest possible time. It is the greatest honor for us to rebuild our hometown within a short period of time. And... I don't think there is anything to sigh about packing that wasteland into a 'landscape' at all, because we never use the post-war Talon It's a 'scar' - that's our pride."

Speaking of this, the blue dragon lady blinked suddenly, and said half-jokingly: "Finally, there is a very important point - this is a good business that is faster than stealing money, why not do it? Dragons are very greedy for money .”

"If you think so, then I'll feel more at ease," Gawain exhaled softly and smiled, "Then I look forward to seeing Tarrond's glory again. Ah yes, I have one more I just want to remind you, although you will definitely pay attention when the time comes—be sure to keep an eye on that tower, especially after more and more outsiders enter Tarrond. The nature of that tower is too dangerous. The more intelligent creatures approach, the greater the risk of leakage, and the intelligent races of the Loren Continent have never been short of vigorous exploration and determination, and this has to be guarded against."

"Don't worry, this is now our top priority besides survival - we will first monitor and block the Tower of Reverse Tide, and then consider the opening of Tarrond and the areas that can be opened in the future They are also concentrated in the southeast region of the mainland, except for the giant dragons, ordinary people should not be able to get close to the high tower located in the northwest of Tarrond," Melita nodded immediately, and then she frowned slightly and her expression became serious , "However, relying solely on surveillance and blockade is not a long-term solution. In the end, we still have to consider how to completely solve the hidden dangers of that tower..."

Completely solve the hidden dangers in that polluted tower...

Gao Wen showed a thoughtful expression. At this moment, he recalled the conversation he had with the dragon god Enya, and thought of some plans that he came up with at that time, but after a moment of thinking, he still gently shook his head.

"We'll fix it, but it's too early to think about it... just keep monitoring, Tarrond and Loren need some time to sort out their problems."

"I understand," Melita said with a nod, and then she looked up at the sky outside the window, and stood up, "Then I will take my leave first——I will write a report on the things you just mentioned as soon as possible and send it back Tarrond, I think Speaker Andal and Chief Heragor will be very interested in those incredible plans."

Melita left - Gawain watched the figure of Miss Blue Dragon disappear at the door. He waited until the lounge door closed softly before he looked away and looked at Amber who kept quiet for a long time.

"It's not easy...the once prosperous Dragon Clan has been forced into this situation." He shook his head and sighed softly.

"Indeed, I still remember the splendor of their cities and temples..." Amber curled her lips with a hint of emotion, and then asked suddenly, "But having said that, the ideas you just raised are really... People with rich experience and quick thinking in the way of making money are a little surprised. I thought I had already understood your business wisdom, but I didn't expect you to hide so much?"

"Your way of making money..." Gao Wen couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "Forget it, it's rare that you can view my ideas with such a high evaluation of 'wisdom'."

"I have always attached great importance to your ideas!" Amber said immediately, "But... I really didn't expect that you would do your best to help Tarrond. The ideas you put forward may indeed help the economy of the Dragon Clan. It has recovered to a certain extent, but aren't you worried that this will cause too much wealth in the Loren Continent to flow to the north? All they earn is Loren's money."

"There's nothing to worry about," Gao Wenhun waved his hand nonchalantly. In the field of economic activities, the half-elf's brains are indeed lacking. Having said that, it is also good for them to earn a little more. After all, the food aid from the Alliance is temporary, and the dragons themselves should not be willing to accept food 'handouts' for a long time. Looking back, we will start exporting food to Tarrond after the end of the first phase of the aid. By the way, export all kinds of construction machinery. If the dragons are not used to our construction machinery, then we will directly send engineering contractors there... According to the situation reported by Cassandra, those dragons who are taken care of by Omega are not very good at using them. Build a house with your own hands."

Speaking of which, he couldn't help touching his chin, thinking quickly in his heart: "In this way, their tourism industry may not be enough...I have to find a way to let them expand into other industries, or look at them. What else is there to sell..."

Amber was stunned when she heard it from the side: "..."

Gao Wen noticed her appearance, and couldn't help but ask, "So sudden?"

"...Sometimes I really don't know whether you are a great hero or a terrible conspirator," Amber sighed, she always had something in her heart to say in front of Gao Wen, "You are trying your best to make this world Pushing forward while counting pretty much everyone, even those you're trying to help...isn't that a contradiction?"

Gao Wen didn't expect her to think of this suddenly, he seemed a little surprised, but soon he smiled lightly and shook his head: "This is not contradictory - because everything in this world is so complicated and chaotic that it cannot be easily defined. We are not We don’t live in a black and white world, so there are no absolute heroes and absolute right in this world.”

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed softly, and there seemed to be something in his expression that even Amber couldn't understand.

"I'm actually the same as everyone else—we have to live in this world and do things we have to do, and many of them are not decent or honorable. As Matilda said, I may not be able to become a 'saint', but if I can, I really hope that the world can become a little better... At least so that people in future generations don't have to face many of the same choices as today."

"Choose..." Amber looked at Gao Wen half-understood, then sighed, and muttered as if talking to herself, "Oh, I didn't expect to live such a tiring life back then."

……

Under the night at the edge of the wasteland, changes in this world are slowly brewing. In many hotel rooms, the lights are turned on very late.

Many bright minds worked late into the night on this day, and many decisions and plans that may affect future generations gradually took shape this night. The world's most intelligent and powerful people gathered in such a small border town, Thinking, discussing, observing, and giving feedback all night... In the end, everything was swallowed up by the quiet night and the sky full of stars.

And when the huge sun rose again on the second day, the glorious corona enveloped the earth, and representatives from various countries came to the oath stone ring again—everyone seemed full of energy and fighting spirit.

Under the green-backed silver-streaked banner that symbolizes the elven empire, the silver queen Belsetia stood beside the simple stone table. Her eyes slowly swept across the audience, and then she said in a soft and majestic tone: "I hope that last night will The rest really rejuvenated everyone, because we still have a battle of minds and energy to face today - including for many days to come."

"Let's continue the unfinished agenda from yesterday," she continued after a short pause, "After thinking about it all night, you must have fully understood the meaning and long-term impact of the 'Alliance', and have also conducted thorough negotiations within the team. ——Next, today's first agenda item: All members voted to establish the "Mortal Civilization Community Alliance". This vote will be open to the public. You can vote by touching the runes on the stone table. Please pay attention to agreeing and opposing and a sign of abstention."

Under the banner of Tarrond, Melita took a deep breath. She saw that the stone table in front of her was already lit up with the brilliance of runes, and three eye-catching imprints had emerged from the ancient stone surface. Below the imprint are the respective meanings marked in Common Human Language, Dragon Language, and Elvish Language.

She felt her heart thumping—it belonged to flesh and blood, and it had been with her heart since she hatched out of the shell, and it was beating extraordinarily powerfully at this moment.

Without any hesitation, Melita put her hand on the rune representing approval.

The next second, she heard a slight buzzing sound coming from above her back. Looking at the sound, she saw a subtle streamer suddenly appear on the surface of the majestic and towering stone pillar behind her. The huge hanging banner quickly had a striking halo, and the originally dark fabric revealed a light-cast texture.

Immediately afterwards, similar fluctuations of magic power came from all over the venue—Miss Blue Dragon raised her head subconsciously, and saw that the flags around the oath stone ring were lighting up one after another, and those emblems that symbolized the mortal kingdoms were under the influence of magic power. Light up one by one during infiltration.

All the recording devices on the scene were in operation, engraving this scene in the photo crystal.

Finally, the flags of the three empires were also lit.

Over the entire oath stone ring, all the flags were soaked in a layer of solemn light.

Gao Wen slowly took his hand away from the voting rune, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth - he and Rosetta and Belsetia jointly discussed and designed the voting at this moment, after all, for such a meaningful For a major meeting, every link needs a certain sense of ritual. This is not a meaningless "pomp". In a sense, this "sense of ritual" is actually a part of enhancing the cohesion and sense of identity of the new organization .

"Unanimous vote passed..." Behind Gao Wen, Amber muttered softly.

Gawain looked at the Silver Queen who was also looking at him at the same time. After simple eye contact, he stood up and said in a solemn and steady voice: "Then, I now declare, 'The Alliance of Mortal Civilizations 'Officially established today-the destiny of the mortal nations is connected, and they will advance and retreat together from today. May we unite and face the tomorrow of all of us together.

"At the same time, the "Charter of the Commonwealth of Mortal Civilizations" will take effect immediately from this moment, the legitimacy of the seats of each member state and the legitimacy of the government will take effect immediately from this moment, and the responsibilities, rights and interests of each country stipulated in the charter will take effect immediately from this moment.

"According to the "Charter", the Cecil Empire, the Typhon Empire, and the Silver Empire, as the co-founders and the initial callers and founders, will become permanent members of the alliance from now on, and the corresponding rights, responsibilities and obligations will take effect immediately...

“Under the terms of the Charter, States . . .

"Now enter the swearing-in part..."

The majestic voice echoed in the oath stone ring. After the solemn reading and the joint oath of the leaders of the three countries, all the representatives in the stone ring stood up at the same time, repeated the oath and applauded for celebration.

Today is the 3rd year of Cecil and 2490 of Gondor—on the 26th of the Moon of Resurrection, the most daring of all Gawain's grand plans finally came true.

Now the world is still not monolithic, but it has finally ended the era of fragmentation, at least in name, all mortals have finally stood on the same front.

Chapter 1098 The aftermath of the era

Next to the coastline in the far northern border, the wind from the sea blows the wide and flat Pier No. [-]. The bulk cargo is neatly stacked in the storage area beside the dock, powered by magic engines and weight-reducing runes. Large-scale construction machinery is busy next to the stacking area, transferring more goods to the platform in the pre-loading and unloading area.

A huge clock tower stands on the border of the city near the pier. The huge mechanical dial on the top is shining in the sun. The exquisite copper gears are rotating in the transparent crystal window, and the hands with beautiful hollow patterns are slowly moving. Point to the top of the dial.And below the bell tower, the large Magic Net terminal on the edge of the square is broadcasting to the public. The holographic projection above the Magic Net terminal presents real-time images from the No. The voice of an off-site commentator came from outside.

A beautiful and grand ship is docking at the edge of Pier [-]. The big ship has a metal shell and magic energy wings extending obliquely upwards, and the brilliance of runes swims slowly on certain places on the surface of the hull. Come on, above the big ship, there is another flag that symbolizes the Ogure tribal country fluttering in the wind. This ship comes from the remote White Feather Wharf. Wealthy merchant in Mosswood, who has conducted several trade activities between Mosswood and Northport in the past, is preparing for his last voyage this week.

And farther away, there are more merchant ships, large and small, berthing beside the docks at all levels. They are flying the flags of Cecil, the Ogulei Tribal Kingdom or the Holy Dragon Principality, and some of them have obvious There are traces of the transformation of old ships, and some are completely new modern ships, but no matter what the shape is, they all have the same characteristics: high-raised magic energy wings, and used to cope with the harsh environment at sea and improve elemental resistance. protection system.Some of these ships also hang the holy emblem of the waves representing the power of the storm, which means that they will be protected by naga technicians during the voyage-when entering the sea near the open sea, these "official ships" It will become the core of a certain trade fleet, providing disorderly turbulence warning services for the entire fleet.

A short gray elf with short gray hair was standing in the square beside the pier. He was wearing a small black dress and a special top hat, and was holding a hardwood cane with light silver stripes in his hand. He was looking up at the holographic projection floating next to the bell tower intently. In the cold sea breeze of Beigang, the gray elf businessman still loosened his tie from time to time, looking anxious and excited.

There are many people like him, watching the broadcast projection from afar with full concentration on the edge of the square. They include local merchants in Cecil, gray elves or orcs from the Augure area, and people from the Holy Dragon Principality. The descendants of the dragon, and even elves and mountain people dressed as mercenaries representing which business group they don't know, these people come from all over the world and from different races, but they are all paying attention to the same scene at the moment.

"It's almost there...it's almost there..." The short gray elf businessman tugged at his neckline for an unknown number of times, and whispered nervously.

A black-haired woman dressed as a sailor beside him couldn't help but glanced down at him, and reminded: "It's the sixth time you've said that, be patient, sir—all of us are waiting. "

"I've been waiting since yesterday!" The gray elf swayed from side to side, stepping on the ground with two feet in turn. "Damn it, I even planned to set up a tent here... Unfortunately, the sheriff won't let me..."

The woman didn't respond. She looked up and looked not far away, and saw that the patrolling Beigang security team was stopping at a nearby intersection. A red-haired female security officer on a horse just turned her gaze to this side, with a look in her eyes Be alert and pay attention.

Farther away, a group of dock workers who were resting seemed to have finished chatting and were heading towards the trestle one after another.

Over the large magic net terminal on the edge of the square, the holographic projection screen is switching from an indoor studio to the outdoor scene of the venue again, and a voice from outside the screen is announcing loudly with a touch of excitement: "Just now, about the round-the-continent route The start of the [-] and the effective vote of the related ocean trade bill were unanimously passed..."

There was silence in the square for about a second, and suddenly someone shouted: "The bill is passed! The bill is passed!"

The female sailor narrowed her eyes. She heard cheers coming from all directions, followed by the hurried shouting of many people. The short gray elf was screaming and running into the distance. The assistant standing on the edge of the crowd shouted: "Mark! Go load the ship! Let them load the ship immediately! The cargo list is passed!!

"Hurry up and ask Nina to pick up the new version of the pass... No, damn it, I will go in person, let Nina go to the customs office, and you can sign now!"

In the holographic projection above the magic net terminal, flags are shining brightly in the sun, and the excited voice is still explaining quickly outside the screen: "...after the law takes effect, the original list of trade permits will be expanded by six Times, ocean routes will also be opened to the public. It is said that the merchants in the Beigang area have been waiting for this good news for a few days...

"According to the agenda of the meeting, the heads of state or plenipotentiaries will vote on the establishment of the food committee next. This special proposal aims to provide necessary help to our new ally, the dragon from Tarrond, and to provide In the future, the countries within the alliance will help each other and jointly solve the problem of world hunger to establish the basis for order...

"...Let's turn the screen to..."

The program is still going on, but half of the merchants on the square have dispersed. Too many people have been waiting for this news for too long at this port, and there are quite a few who are still holding on. Some of them are doing Other businesses, pay more attention to other follow-up international decisions, and some are just local citizens who came to see the excitement, and now they are very interested-the last small part are travelers from the Holy Dragon Principality, these people with dragon blood The dragon descendants were engrossed in watching the show, and some people's eyes had unconsciously turned into vertical pupils symbolizing a giant dragon, but they didn't seem to notice it.
