Chapter 40: Port Vermont

Port Vermont.

It is a shining pearl of the Odiga Empire on the shore of the blue ocean, and it is also the only port in the empire that has two piers on the Haihe River - the narrow Disney Grand Canal flows from the northwest around Vermont City into the blue sea to the east.

Vermont City is the capital of the province of Caself. Eleven centuries ago, the Otiga Empire incorporated the region into its territory, and it was always owned by the Archduke Casef...... That is, the Fei Wenlie family. Like all countries on the mainland, the royal family's control over the great nobles, in addition to some restrictions on power, is mostly achieved through marriage, so that the main members of the family have royal blood. For example, the current Grand Duke of Casef, his mother is a princess of the Empire.

Standing on the deck of the Mayflower, looking at the reeds that stretched for dozens of miles on both sides of the river, swaying and undulating by the breeze, Hathaway felt a little relaxed.

Since it is close to the sea, there is a bit of salty and humid breath unique to the sea in the wind, and the river water gradually turns from cool to blue because of the inflow of seawater, which is very layered. A flock of gulls from the seashore made a crisp and cheerful chirping, flapping their wings excitedly above the passenger ship, as if to welcome the guests who had traveled far and wide to the beautiful and prosperous Vermont, and some children waved to the seagulls, crumpled bread and sprinkled it on the deck, and the seagulls did not recognize life at all, and actually landed on the deck to peck at it.

"Wow! These seagulls are so beautiful! Ilona looked like she wanted to step forward and was afraid to scare her away.

"Their meat is so unpalatable." Alia. Fogu evaluates it from another angle.

"Miss, look at Alia!" Ilona angrily complained to Hathaway.

"Yes, Aria, you're so disappointed."

Hathaway nodded, "However, the meat of seagulls is really not very tasty. ”

Ilona's eyes widened, and she was immediately very dissatisfied with Hathaway, and turned her head angrily in protest.

Barthes. Willy came behind him and asked, "Miss, let the house send a carriage to pick you up after getting off the boat......

"Isn't there a horse? It's good to just ride back, it's not too far anyway. "Hathaway doesn't care.

She had changed into a hunting costume that somewhat resembled a samurai costume, which was obviously much more upscale than the shoddy samurai costumes, especially on a youthful carcass, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Yes." Barthes. Willy agreed, taking a step back.

"Miss Bell, I'm about to arrive in Vermont, I wonder if I have the honor to visit you at your mansion?" A young nobleman looked at Hathaway with affectionate eyes, giving her goosebumps.

"Personally, Mr. Alpe, I would like to welcome your visit, but I am afraid I will not have much time." Hathaway said apologetically.

"Oh, Miss Bell is busy?" Lv Song. Albert was not displeased, but a little confused.

Hathaway smiled, "Mr. Albez, I haven't been back to Vermont for more than ten years, and I don't know what to do. ”

"I see." Lv Song. Alber nodded understandingly, not surprised.

He vaguely knew that the Miss Bell in front of him seemed to have gone to a certain magic academy, and it seemed that she was not wearing a magic robe, so she should not have completed her studies, right? The question was too abrupt for him to ask.

The Mayflower luxury passenger ship approached the pier gently, so gentle that it was almost imperceptible to the vibration, but the beautiful passenger ship caused a commotion on the pier. There are jealousy, envy, and hatred...... Not all of them can afford to ride this kind of luxury passenger ship, but most of them have a look of hope on their faces, they are mostly coolies or small traders on the docks, and every guest who disembarks or embarks on the ship is their food and clothing, and if they meet a generous guest sometimes, they will get a lot of tips.

The group got down from the gangplank, and saw the tall knights supporting them, and the coolies who rushed up to pick up the work honestly avoided it, but there were still many people who looked around with blank eyes, hoping to get some work.

Suddenly there was a scolding sound in the distance, Hathaway raised her eyes, and saw that more than fifty meters in front of the side, a large group of people were gathered around, as if something had happened.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

After more than two weeks on the ship, with some excess energy, Hathaway ran over to watch the excitement.

Ilona is dispensable, and wherever Miss goes, she will go. And Alia. But Faugu is also a man who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he runs faster than Hathaway, Barthes. Willy had no choice but to follow, and the other five guards went to lead the horses.

When Hathaway passed, he saw that there were many people dressed as nobles in the crowd, and under the protection of the servants, they crowded into the crowd to watch the excitement. Alia. Although he was short in stature, he had great strength, and rushed in front of him, squeezing the men to the ground, and although some people were about to curse, he turned back to see Hathaway and Barthes. After Willy, they all fell silent and moved out of the way.

In the center of the crowd lay a man with his head in his arms and a box of glassware that was nearly half broken, and a fat man who looked like a merchant was punching and kicking the man with two servants.

"Stop!"

Hathaway's sense of justice as a police officer flares up and she walks out of the crowd with a loud shout.

"You ......"

When the merchant first saw Hathaway, he didn't look very worried, but when he saw Barthes behind her. Willie, the look on his face was much more dignified, "Miss, contemptible Sylvie. Kane, I don't know what to do? ”

"Mr. Kane, why did you hit him?" Hathaway asked displeased.

"This cripple broke my goods and there is no money to compensate, even if he is killed, it will not be enough to compensate." Sylvie. Kane gave the man a disdainful look.

Hathaway glanced intently...... Sure enough, there seemed to be something wrong with the man's right leg, which was supposed to be a prosthesis.

"Daddy!" A childish and anxious voice sounded outside the crowd, and then a woman and a boy squeezed out of the crowd, rushed to the man's side, and helped him to his feet.

"Filna! Little Cyr! ”

Unexpectedly, Barthes. Willy exclaimed, rushed to the man, picked him up, and turned his face around, "Sith, is that you?!" ”
