In the Footsteps of the Sorcerer·37
"Who are you? What are you doing in town so late? ”
"This gentleman, we belong to the Flona Merchant Group, this is our group leader, and she needs to meet the town lord for something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Oh? Flona's? Well, you guys wait. ”
The Night's Watch looked at the Flona Carter's emblem on the car, then turned away from the small window. He began to open the door, and in a short time, the wooden gate of the town was slowly opened.
"Thank you, Mr. Night's Watch."
"You're welcome."
Lyanne habitually threw a gold coin to the Night's Watchman, who happily took the coin and closed the gates of the town again.
Leah and the others didn't go to any hotel that night, and when the magic car stopped in a quiet corner, everyone was ready to spend the night in the car.
Although this magic car is not very large, it is not small. The car is composed of two parts, the cab and the carriage, and the size of the compartment is large enough for Liya and the others to lie down and sleep, and Leah and the others fall asleep after a casual wash.
The coachman fell asleep directly in the cab, and after such a whole day's journey, in fact, the most tired was this coachman, but as an old man of the Flona merchant group, he didn't feel any hardship.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning. When Leah woke up from her meditative state, it was already dawn, and she was about to get out of the car to move, and as soon as she came outside the car, she saw that Arian seemed to have been waiting for her here with a smile for a long time.
"Let's go, Leah, you come with me to the mayor."
"Oh~~."
"I'll go, I'll go."
Just as Arian was about to drag Leah to the mayor, Eren had already woken up. He hurried to follow, and Arian took him with him with some reluctance.
As the three of them walked through the streets, Arian pulled out a map and looked at it, and then led Leah and Ellen to the mayor's door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
There was a knock on the door of the mayor's house, and in a few moments, a gatekeeper poked his head out from behind the small window. It looks like he's very tired, with extremely heavy dark circles, and it's obvious that he didn't sleep well last night.
"Ha~~ Who, knock on the door early in the morning."
"Hello sir, I'm the head of the Flona Business Troupe, and I'm looking for the mayor."
"Flona's? How do you prove your identity? ”
"This is the emblem of our merchant group, you can just show it to the town chief."
Seeing that the gatekeeper didn't believe him, Arian took out a merchant badge and handed it to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper took the badge and closed it, and the small wooden window turned away.
Then Leah, Arian, and Ellen waited for about half an hour. The gatekeeper had just opened the door, and as soon as the gate opened, Leah saw that there was another person behind the gatekeeper, but he was not dressed like the mayor of this town, but like an elderly butler.
"Distinguished guests, please come with me, the mayor is already waiting in the living room."
"Hmm."
Leah and the others followed the butler all the way into the courtyard of the mayor's house, and as soon as they stepped into the living room, Lia saw a middle-aged man sitting on the high hall. Although he was bloated, he was dressed in a very modest suit, a pair of small eyes revealed a kind of wisdom, and there was a maid growing beside him, which Leah thought was obviously the mayor.
"Hello Mayor Folina, I'm Arian Flona, the head of the Flona Business Mission, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Flona, and I welcome you on behalf of the whole town. I wonder what happened to Miss Flora coming to us this time? If I can help, I'll do my best. ”
"It's like this, the mayor, we passed the Doguer Bridge as we passed through the Anduin River, but unfortunately the bridge collapsed just as we were crossing...
"What? The bridge collapsed? ”
Obviously, the news of the collapse of the bridge made it difficult for the mayor to maintain his previous calm, after all, the Doguer Bridge is related to the economic lifeline of the town, and repairing the bridge is an urgent matter for him. But it takes a lot of money and time to build a bridge, and it doesn't mean that it can be repaired.
"Yes, Lord Mayor, one of the things I've come here is to get this highway to you, and I hope you can send someone to repair it soon. Also, if the bridge is restored, I hope we will have a chance to work together. ”
"Well, I see, but building bridges and cooperating are two different things, right?"
"No, no, no, Mayor, what if we contribute half of the money to repair the bridge?"
Originally, the mayor of the town was still a little unhappy with Elianne's idea, and he felt that he was building the bridge to make a wedding dress for Elianne. But now that he heard that Arian was going to contribute half, he changed his mind in an instant.
"This ..... Well, Ms. Elianne, what do you need? ”
"Haha, the mayor is really a smart person, then I'll just say ......"
The next step was to discuss the details of the cooperation, and Leah listened a little bored listening to it. However, Eren listened with relish, and he was given a rare opportunity to learn from the experience of adults, which was rare for him.
"Hehe, it's really a pleasure to talk with the mayor, so let's leave it at that."
"Well, hopefully we'll have a chance to see you again, beautiful Lady Elianne."
"Hopefully we'll see each other again, by the way, Lord Mayor, wouldn't you mind if we used the tunnels in the Misty Mountains?"
"Of course."
"That's good."
Ariane left with Leah and Elan, and they bought some supplies in the market before heading out on their journey. Before leaving, Arian wrote a letter to the town's postman to send to Dogurdu after the bridge was repaired, and the letter contained the contents of the cooperation she had discussed with the town today.
The group got back on the magic car, and the magic car set off again, heading in the direction of the Misty Mountain Tunnel. To be honest, the town is still a long way from the tunnel, but fortunately it has already been developed into a trade route, and there are actually many caravans coming in and out of the town.
It took about six hours for the magic car to reach the entrance of the tunnel at about two o'clock in the afternoon. The next thing they found out was that there was a checkpoint at the entrance to the tunnel. Both pedestrians and vehicles passing by must stop and be inspected one by one.
