At 7 a.m., Drenham woke up in the mist.

This is a city with a unique local style in the Lane Empire, it is located in the eastern part of the Lane Empire, adjacent to the Auschwei Sea, classified according to the geography of the city, many uninformed people take it for granted that it is a coastal city,

This can't be wrong, but it's extremely biased, because Demmingham is technically an island city on the sea!

Nearly two-thirds of Drenham's urban area is separated by the ocean and the rivers that flow into the sea, and an island is a city that is connected by ships and bridges.

This is a unique city, as the full control of the Lane Empire, and with a large number of natural harbors, it has received great preferential treatment from the Imperial Government in terms of policy, which means unprecedented prosperity!

Here, the main means of transportation is no longer just horse-drawn carriages or automobiles, and a part of the middle class often talks about the new boats they have purchased when they participate in social drinking parties.

A fully functional and beautiful ship is considered a manifestation of status here.

The government has even enacted a series of laws on boats, which stipulate the size of the boats that each family can hold according to class and income level.

For example, people from other regions come to Dmingham, which is almost impossible to hide, because there is only one railway station in Dmingham in the entire Lane Empire, and it is a 5-minute walk from the train to a vast ferry port.

As soon as you come out of the cramped and cramped train car, you can see the vast expanse of the sea when you look up, and the visual impact is enough to make anyone lose their temper.

The boatmen who carried passengers at the railway station ferry port were even more familiar with the Demingham connoisseurs, and before the passengers even got on the boat, they could see who was the first time and who had been back and forth many times, and they had long been accustomed to the environment.

New customers are often sought-after because these people don't understand the price, and some people are stupid enough to think that this is an attraction boat, even if it is several times the price they think is worth it.

Merlin grabbed a new customer today.

The guest, dressed in a brown trench coat with a waistcoat and a white shirt, stood for a long time on the edge of the ferry, looking out to sea and then at their boat, carrying a suitcase and a white cat half-crouched beside him.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Demmingham is the most developed city in the Lane Empire's shipping industry, and their ships here are rare when they are placed elsewhere.

Merlin squeezed away several of his peers to talk to him first, and he didn't come back to his senses, and was coaxed onto the boat by a few words from himself, during which he kept looking at some of the devices on the ship.

"Sir, my ship is a sturdy ship in the vicinity, a classic model from Maxwell's Shipyard in 1816. ”

Introducing people to their ships is a necessary step, and it is necessary to shock these people first, and Merlin does have the capital.

Unlike the wooden ships of many inland cities in the Lane Empire, this kind of purely manpower or wind power boats have long been eliminated in Dmingham, and are known as outdated old goods, if they go out, they will be made fun of.

The whole boat generally looked like a speedboat, made of metal, with a very high upper bar, a recess in the center, and two rows of well-groomed seats, and Merlin sat at the bow of the boat, pointing to the dashboard in front of his guests while steering the wheel, and observing his expression through the rearview mirror, ready to find an opportunity to quote his price.

"Also, do you hear the sound of this engine, don't you think it's very light? The latest whale oil engine, you look at this label, Lenny Machinery Company, this is the number one machinery production company in Dmingham, right...... Regarding the price, I forgot to tell you that my price here is ......."

Just as he was about to open his mouth to quote, the guest who had been sitting in the stern of the boat holding the white cat and watching the sea suddenly turned around, and Merlin just turned his head again, looking at each other, as if there was something more in his throat, and choked.

Emerald green pupils are not uncommon, and Merlin has seen a lot of them, but the indifference and depth in the eyes in front of him make his consciousness unable to rise to any intention of harming the other party, as if there is only a trace of malice, this passenger transport is his last journey.

Meow~

The white cat called softly and rubbed the man's chin upwards, and the man seemed to suddenly think of something, and blinked several times in a row, and the dangerous look disappeared.

"I'm sorry, my name, Donald Grant, the first time I saw the sea, I was a little confused, how much does this trip cost?"

For a whole 2-day train, Donald asked Sir for a ticket when he asked for a ticket far enough, and then it was best to go to the Freedom of Faith Zone in the Lane Empire, but it happened that Sir had a Demingham tourist ticket given by a friend, so he came here.

The experience of more than a month ago was too depressing, although the final result was good, but the situation of being surrounded by enemies during that time still had a great impact on Donald's psychology, coupled with the devouring of Mineato's soul fragments, a dark side inevitably appeared in Donald's soul.

Usually, you can keep yourself in a normal state through emotional control, but when you are in a daze, your consciousness is free, and the deepest state of your heart will involuntarily emerge.

"It's only 1 shilling and 5 pence, is this your first time here, and what town do you need me to drop you off?"

Merlin finally made a good deal and began to ask Donald where he was going.

"It's a reward, I'm coming to Dmingham for the first time, I don't really understand what the districts mean, is there any difference between them?"

Donald fell in love with the environment from the first sight of the train station, unlike the rainy city of Pooltown, the geography of Partingham makes its four seasons more distinct, like today is a sunny day that is rarely seen in Pston.

The golden sun shines on the blue waves, and the white seagulls soar in the blue sky, making a crisp and melodious cry.

Donald looked at the island cities in the distance, the steel bridges that sailed across the sea, and the ships of all sizes.

Donald told himself in his heart that he was going to settle here and get on with his life.

The first problem was, of course, to find a place to stay, one shilling more than the price Merlin had said, which was to get him to say more.

"You're really polite, then I'll tell you a few more words, apart from that part of the land, there are a total of 6 large islands scattered across the sea......"

The Dmingham land area, similar to the slums, is inhabited by low-level civilians who undertake all the most basic work in the construction of Dmingham, and although it is considered a part of Dmingham, in fact, the people of those islands do not recognize themselves as Demminghams as these low-level people.

Merlin also didn't think that Donald, who could take out 2 shillings at will, would choose to go to the land area, so he took the initiative to skip this part.

The remaining 6 large islands are the key, among which Tallinn and Xialin are middle-class living areas, which are where most Demingham people live, and there should be no shortage of things in them, and Merlin recommends Donald as an outsider if he wants to settle in Demingham, then it is best to go to these two areas first.

The Manor District was the area where the Imperial nobles lived in Dmingham, and was called the Manor District because the entire island was made up of various manors, and the bridge on the outer edge of the island was the only one that was guarded by a special army, and civilians were not allowed to enter.

As the name suggests, the government area is a place set up by the Demingham government, and it is dotted with various government offices and officials' homes, which are also guarded by soldiers, but not forbidden to civilians, but only require a special citizenship card issued by Demingham, that is, a person who is officially recognized as a citizen of Demingham.

An outsider like Donald doesn't even think about it.

The remaining two islands are special urban areas.

The Kingbird District is the commercial center of the entire Dmingham, which is naturally the residence of the major companies of the Lane Empire, and the land in it is expensive, and there is no certain personal assets, and there is not even the qualification to apply for purchase.

Finally, there is the industrial center of Dmingham, Whale Island, as for why other islands are named after such and such a district, and this island is named after the seemingly abstract name of Whale Island, that is because of the most representative technology on the island - whale oil industry!

"What does the whale oil industry mean?"

"Haha, of course it's an industry related to whales, I heard that there is a special whaling factory on Whale Island, and every certain season they will go out to sea to hunt whales, and after catching the whales, they will use special methods to refine the oil in the whale's body, and then after a very complex process anyway, it becomes a special energy source, which is our exclusive technology in Dmingham, and those inland cities in the Lane Empire now use coal mine energy, only we use whale oil, and the technology is a grade ahead of them!"

When it comes to this, the pride in Merlin is palpable, and it is the pride of the people of Demmingham.

Donald was also surprised, whale oil can still be used as an energy source?

The boatman also said before that the engine used in his ship seems to be whale oil energy......

Donald used to think that the cities of this world were like the city of Pston, with backward industry and a much lower level of social development than in his previous life, but now it seems that this is just his personal opinion.

"Sir, I have to warn you that you may not be comfortable for a while while on the island, which is the common state of outsiders, but when you get used to life in Dmingham, you will definitely fall in love with this place and the sea...... What's that? Sir, Mr. Grant! You're lucky, whales! It's whales!"

Merlin's eyes saw the rising waves of the sea in the distance, and the whole person jumped up from his chair excitedly.
