On June 28, 908, it rained heavily early in the morning, and the whole sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the earth was blurred in the darkness, except for some light reflected by the transparent water curtain that fell from the sky.

Vermont City was unusually quiet in the rain, with no pedestrians on the road, only a small squad of police patrolling the muddy streets alone.

Eden. Mr. and Mrs. Bell showed up at the restaurant with their four children, who had already made an appointment to have breakfast together last night...... Prior to this, both parties had avoided appearing in the restaurant at the same time for various reasons, but today was Hathaway's last meal at Bell House, and it was inevitable in every way.

The viscount's face was as serious as ever, a standard father's face, and the eyes of the two young masters swept over Hathaway's face from time to time, and then they looked at each other very tacitly. Bell's eyes were red, she had obviously just cried, and her seat didn't know how to move, very close to Hathaway, and the Viscountess's face was ...... Except that it didn't rain, it was basically the same as the weather outside.

Although Hathaway was studying and practicing in the past two days, and basically didn't have much time to rest, her spirit was surprisingly good. She didn't curse the bad weather, but savored the rich and exquisite breakfast with relish.

"Hathaway, the weather is bad, you can be on the road a day late." Eden. Bell said, putting down his knife and fork.

"Thank you, father."

A polite smile appeared on Hathaway's face: "What should be gone will be left after all, something that has been decided." There is no need to change. ”

"Hathaway, you shouldn't hire those rude mercenaries, your father and I will arrange for you to guard." Although Lady Elizabeth's face was not very good, her voice was as tactful as ever.

"I'm not a big man, and I don't have a lot of money, so where do I need a brigade of guards? There are those mercenaries, which are enough to deal with small groups of enemies. Hathaway said lightly.

Prior to that, Eden. Both Bell and Lady Elizabeth offered to send escorts to take her to Beijing, but Hathaway refused...... Are you kidding? A Bolger is around to satisfy some people's voyeuristic desires. There's a mouse by your side. It can be patted and rubbed anytime and anywhere; But if there were a bunch of rats around. That doesn't have to tire the cat to death?

For Eden. Bell, Hathaway has also carefully observed. I don't know if he has a direct relationship with his assassination. But what is certain is that he did not actively stop it...... In her opinion, this was no different from participating in an assassination.

Even if it is to throw justice and the law aside. Don't you even care about flesh and blood affection?

An assassination is unknowing. Twice, three times. That is connivance, participation, and absolutely unforgivable!

So Hathaway definitely didn't have a good look at this father, and he showed a good impression. Even more unacceptable.

"Hathaway, that place in the capital is not comparable to Vermont City, not to mention that you haven't officially been canonized, even if you are an official earl or marquis, you are like a carp crossing the river in the capital, and there are countless of them." Eden. Bell spoke earnestly.

"Yes."

"After you canonized, you will go directly to the territory, right?" Eden. Bell asked.

"Yes."

"You are still young and have just taken over the territory, so you should pay attention to building a good relationship with those nobles in the territory. How to operate, they still have a very good way, although the Cordillera Plateau is relatively remote, but it is still very safe to stay in the city, and the annual income is also good...... "Eden. Bell began to ramble on and on about his experience.

"Father, I'll take care of it, please don't worry."

Hathaway stood up: "It's time to go, I'll go back to my room and salute." With that, he took his leave and left.

"Father, mother, I've eaten too." Fruya. Bell also followed Hathaway to give birth.

"This is your good daughter, who doesn't understand the rules at all!" Elizabeth looked at Eden with annoyance. Bell glanced.

"Don't you want her to disappear from your eyes as soon as possible?" Eden. Bell replied with some unhappiness.

Lady Elizabeth opened her mouth, but after all she didn't say anything more...... There were still the Levon brothers at the dinner table, and she couldn't contradict her husband in public and cause a bad influence in the minds of her children.

Hathaway didn't have much luggage, and she didn't need to organize it, looking at the little girl who was crying at the door, Hathaway sighed softly, walked over, and took out a beautiful butterfly hairpin to pin it to her hair...... This is one of the few keepsakes of her.

"Fruya, don't feel uncomfortable, when my sister has time, she will definitely come to see you." Hathaway said softly.

"Shall I go and see you?" Fruya liked the hairpin very much, but now she couldn't care about it.

"Absolutely. Be sure to stay safe though, there are a lot of bad guys in the Cordillera. Hathaway smiled slightly.

Fruya. Bell's little face immediately smiled, and he began to fiddle with the hairpin, and it was not until Berg came to announce that the carriage was ready, and the sisters parted.

The team was not large, there were five carriages in total, one for Hathaway's own carriage, one for the maids, one for luggage, and two for the mercenaries.

The rude mercenary's name was Sgart. Cancy, he has more than fifty mercenaries under him, which is a small mercenary group, and the combination of troops is okay, but not having a mage is a shortcoming, but there are a lot of archers in his team, probably to make up for the long-range combat power. It's a pity that the combat power of magicians and archers is not on the same level at all, I don't know what they think.

Hathaway's guard has also changed slightly. Wilkins and Tommy. Cooper was sent by her to talk to the Sith. Carl worked together to prepare the intelligence system and raise new blood, so there were only four people left, and Alia. Fogu is a guest, a free man, and cannot be counted.

After coming to Vermont City, because the six guards had officially allegiated to her, Hathaway was not stingy, and selected some high-level fighting qi and martial arts suitable for their cultivation in the Demon Spirit Hall to teach them...... The faithful deserve to be rewarded, and in this place where personal force is preached. Martial arts and cultivation methods are often more valuable than money, like Barthes. Willy and them, most of their cultivation is the army's standard fighting spirit and martial arts, and they don't have the strength to obtain more advanced cultivation methods and martial arts at all. On top of that, everybody, including Irona, has a snowvon badge, and when they return to Vermont, they often find time to practice their flying skills in places outside the city, but if they want to fight in the air, they can't do it. A flying knight doesn't just have a mount. It takes a long time to train before you really have the qualifications and ability to soar in the sky and fight, and now at most it is just flying.

It should be mentioned that Hathaway's carriage was ordered by herself. And also pleaded with Catanas. The help of the Grand Magician of Field...... Of course. Your Excellency the Grand Magician doesn't have to do it himself. Hathaway's request was not difficult to do, he only needed to move his mouth, and naturally someone would help.

The three Wind Chasers pulling the cart are horses with Warcraft blood. Not only is it strong and stamina, but it is also very fast. The wheels are not the pure wooden wheels you are looking for, but they are similar to modern wheels, except that the rubber part is replaced by Warcraft leather, on which it is soaked with a potion that enhances flexibility, and then its resistance to magic is improved by inscription, bonded with magic, and then inflated, in addition to the cost is more expensive than rubber, other properties are better than rubber tires.

The most terrible thing about cars in this era is the poor performance of shock absorption, Hathaway will know what she knows and Alia. The combination of Fogu's experience has created an otherworldly version of the spring. In addition, the four walls of the carriage are made of special steel plates, and they are also engraved with inscriptions to reduce weight and protect against arrows. Magic lamps and dark compartments in the carriages, carpeted and bedding...... There is even a small bathroom, which is simply an otherworldly version of the animal-powered RV, and you can hardly feel the slightest bump when sitting on it. After a test ride, Forgu never wanted to ride a horse again, and strongly asked Hathaway to give her a seat in the car.

Hathaway would also like to leave her in the car, this dwarven girl not only knows the metal anomaly, but also has the skill of crafting, this spring is the result of their joint efforts, and Hathaway has been working with her on various measuring tools and drawing tools recently...... This is related to the future fortune and enjoyment, and there is no negligence.

As Hathaway walked out of the Viscount's Mansion, she glanced back at the mansion in the rain and mist. The Bells didn't come out, and the Levon brothers didn't come out, and only Frua was the only one in the distance. Bell stood at the window and waved at her, letting in an extra ray of sunshine on this gloomy day.

"Master, why don't you send it away? I'm afraid it's not so easy to meet again. "Taylor. Brower said softly.

Eden. Bell stood at the window, looking out at the rain and fog...... After a long time, he sighed and said, "Since it is not easy to meet, what is the difference between seeing more or less?" ”

"But what about Miss's safety?"

Taylor. Brower said worriedly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Duke is very angry at the eldest lady's refusal to accept the proposal. ”

"Don't worry, no matter how angry he is, he won't be able to attack Hathaway on this road, I'm worried about them, I'm afraid I still won't give up." Eden. Bell sighed.

The convoy hit the road in the pouring rain, and compared to the creaking wheels of the vehicles behind, Hathaway's carriage aroused the curiosity of many mercenaries. Fogu had already run into the carriage and looked at Hathaway's drawings with relish.

"This car could be a little more comfortable, yes, if you change the animal power to the magic power, it could be a little lighter......"

"And these gauges, our dwarven eyes are the best gauges, and there will be no mistakes......"

"Not everyone in this world is a dwarf, a dwarf can build a car in half a month, and ten skilled workers can process a car in a day, and each car is the same, if it is damaged, the parts can be interchanged......"

Hathaway constantly introduced the dwarven girls to the concepts of standardization, mass production, and small profits...... The team drove out of Vermont City amid the discussion of the two men. (To be continued......)
