Realm of Power

564 fangs

"How is this possible?"

The shock before her eyes made Palstina's delicate body tremble in the carriage, and her eyes were fixed on the window.

A large river about 20 meters wide was on the right side of her carriage.

Parsqin was stunned to see a merchant ship with a length of more than ten meters, slowly passing by the carriage as if gliding on the water.

The long hull and the carriage traveled side by side for more than ten minutes.

There are many sails on it, with three levels. The top two levels have been lowered, and the bottom one is swollen by the river wind.

The joking voices of sailors on the boat and the sound of the tip of the boat breaking through the waves could be heard from time to time.

It’s incredible that boats and cars are running a few meters apart. The person who designed this inland waterway is simply a genius.

The Salanders are a naturally romantic nation

The sparkling river surface is like a huge dark blue emerald, reflecting the shadows of the houses along the street in the river.

The figures are bright and moving in the water. The city in the water is so beautiful that people can't help but be intoxicated.

In the distance, a huge gate stands like a giant at the end of the river. The white water waves are billowing there, giving people a majestic feeling.

"This is a river that goes directly to the seaport designed by Lord Victonsey himself," Nilai, who was sitting opposite her, pointed to the gate in the distance and explained excitedly.

"Commercial ships need to pass the port inspection, then they can sail into the city's circulating river, and then follow the water flow around the city.

During this process, merchant ships can choose to enter inland rivers or stop at the trading station on the river to unload their goods, which saves a lot of trouble in urban material transportation.

Because there was no one else in the carriage except Nilai, Sky Priest Palstina showed an elegant and innocent face, with a light dark eyebrow, but there was a sparkle in her light and watery eyes.

A gust of cool wind was squeezed by the huge side of the ship. For some reason, Palsqin looked at the hull of the ship in front of him and felt like he could reach out and touch the ship's ramp.

This feeling is very subtle, and it also seems to be caused by people

, Romance is the nature of Salander people, even Palsqin’s plain mind is not immune to it,

Her eyes flickered, she hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the unrealistic idea.

If someone knew that the great Sky Priest, one of the spiritual leaders of the kingdom, had such childish thoughts, I wonder if it would shock the entire Kyoto.

On the contrary, Nilai, who was sitting opposite, didn't have too many worries.

The white and delicate hands gently reached out and took out a brightly colored red coral block from the hull, and said in a calm voice

"This should be a merchant ship that has just returned from the West Sea, because this kind of red coral can only be found there.

Seeing how happy these sailors are, they must be getting extremely generous rewards this time."

"Roudexihai? Parsqin's beautiful face moved slightly,

"You are saying that this ship has been to the West Sea and returned safely from that area where pirates are rampant. Even if it is to obtain a huge reward, it should not take such a risk.

In the eyes of the Salanders who like to sail, Rodehou is like a devilish area, where pirates are rampant and murderous.

In the past, few ships could return safely from there, which is why most of Salander's post-trade was concentrated on the southern coast.

"Hehe, mentor doesn't know yet, this has already happened in the past." Seeing her mentor's slightly frowned eyebrows, Nilai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"As early as a few months ago, the Wekia Navy has fully controlled the West Sea. Now let alone pirates, there are merchant ships passing there. Those families who were originally pirates will not only not come out to rob, but will also immediately send out frigates. to protect the safe passage of ships,

Because they have joined the Rode West Crop Industry Alliance, their monthly trade tax share is several times more than what they used to plunder merchant ships."

"I heard that the red coral sea there is the most beautiful part of the Ikadiva continent."

Nilai paused, then stuck out her tongue with a playful look on her face and said, "If Victon hadn't stopped me from going, I would have really wanted to take a caravan ship and go there to see it!"

"Oh, according to what you said, didn't this city become the hub of the entire northern region? I wonder who chose to build the city here?" Parstina looked slightly moved and asked solemnly.

Her idea was soon confirmed by her disciples

"Of course it's Vic Seton," Nilai said with pride on her pretty face, "Not all, but as long as they are close to the river, they can be connected." Although the initial investment was large, the results were quick. In just one month, the trade tax we received reached 300,000 gold coins. In the past, this would have been the combined income of more than a dozen territories on our northern coast."

"300,000 gold coins a month is quite a lot."

Parstina's face looked slightly better. Her monthly income of 300,000 gold coins did not pose a sufficient threat compared to Kyoto's monthly income of 500,000 gold coins.

But this does not mean that this place will not surpass Kyoto one day. I am afraid that the north will be the most powerful at that time. This touched Palstina's heart. From an overall perspective, the booming north is developing in an extremely powerful way. With rapid speed, he broke away from the control of Kyoto of the Kingdom,

Nowadays, Salander is suffering from internal and external troubles. The country is like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain, swaying and mixed with dew. With the south falling and the central part being withered, the north has become a life-saving straw in the eyes of many Kyoto nobles. If something happens in the north, the Kingdom of Salander will immediately fall into disintegration.

At this time, she heard Nilai next to her say in a tone of disbelief.

"Teacher, do you know? Getting the Northern Territory out of the miserable situation of relying on others has always been a goal that my father has been fighting for all his life and wants to achieve. Now, although I don't dare to do it, I believe that in less than three years, I will be able to do it. My father's dream will come true. I will make the Northern Territory the most powerful region in Salander. If the mentor is willing to come here to develop, I believe that the Sky Temple will be able to get rid of the embarrassing situation where the royal family openly respects but secretly suppresses."

Palstina's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly discovered that her disciple Nilai's eyes were no longer as pure as before.

Only then did she suddenly realize that her carriage was traveling on an unstable land, and this stubborn girl at the time was now the Chief Administrative Officer of the Vic Territory, and her status here could be said to be inferior to that of one person. More than ten thousand people

Who would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?

In the eyes of the Kyoto nobles, the north is no longer that barren and backward place where they can be bullied and belittled at will. The news bred on the northern coast has made this place develop at a speed that even Kyoto can hardly imagine.

Maybe in three years, maybe in ten years, this place will become the most prosperous area in Salander.

For example, the Vic Territory in front of us may not be as luxurious as Kyoto, but it is enough to put most cities to shame. One-third of the population in the north is concentrated here, and almost all the trade ports are concentrated here.

It has become a veritable northern trade center. Several spacious roads closely connect several nearby ports and 8 large and small territories.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, businessmen are busy, and countless goods flow to all parts of the mainland through this large transfer station. Compared with the lifeless people's livelihood in other areas of Saland,

It seems so magical here, so beautiful and vibrant,

"Cooperate with the North? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get the Sky Temple out of an embarrassing situation."

This sudden idea startled even Parstina herself and fell into a trance. Her shining eyes were deep and heavy as she stared at the rolling waves of the huge gate in the distance. ,

At this moment, in her heart, these surging rivers were like an unstoppable stream of time rushing forward, and where would the lonely boat of the Sky Temple go?

As a priest who watches the vast starry sky, Parstina's vision of seeing things is very unique. Many people only focus on the things in front of them, but Parstina's eyes are focused on the entire north.

If what Nile said is true, then Vic Seton, who originally founded this city, was definitely a genius. He used a city to change the pattern of the entire north. This idea has not been proposed before, but it can be successfully implemented. , in addition to the eyesight that shocked everyone, the control of economic ability is also at its peak.

He can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain. Why has he never heard anyone say such a powerful person?

"Is this possible?" Parstina asked secretly in her mind. In her mind, the fat man might be a scary street, but he did not have such a sharp vision.

This kind of gaze can only be seen by the bloody falcon who sits high on the throne of the Southwest Overlord and stares at the entire continent with an aggressive gaze.

Or maybe the eagle's gaze was staring at Salander opposite Howl at the moment. Parstjina was touched in her heart and fell into silence.

"Teacher, you must be tired from traveling for a long time. There is still a long way from here to the castle. Why don't you take a rest?" Nilai stretched out her hand and lowered the window curtain of the carriage. The carriage suddenly became dark.

There was a hint of unbearability in her eyes as she stared at the thoughtful Parstina.

There was a lot of intimidation in those words just now, but the instructor was too shocked to notice it.

For such a scheming plot, and it was directed against the mentor he respected most,

Nilai also felt a little helpless. The scene at the city gate just now had broken the trace of luck in her heart.

As the fat man said,

Showing your fangs when necessary is more of a deterrent than showing them again during a fight.

If we can avoid war through this method and prevent this beautiful situation from being broken by the exposure of war,

Even if I carry the burden of guilt and self-blame,

No matter what
