Chapter 293: The City of Candia
Early the next morning, Hathaway got out of bed in good spirits. Although she couldn't exercise outside in the morning, entering the fairy garden had the same effect, and seeing the gold bars and other things that had been gathered in the warehouse made her feel even more comfortable.
The Dou Qi roared through the Qi veins, rolling like a torrent, and after breaking through the Golden Rank, the quality of the Dou Qi was completely improved, and while running the Dou Qi, her internal organs were also strengthened.
Eighteen weeks later, Hathaway got up and punched and moved.
"Hathaway, you're going to do it even bigger this time than the last time, and you're really going against the Church of Nature?" The veteran asked, appearing beside her.
"It's not that I'm going against them, it's these gods who are trying to get me in trouble. Besides, I didn't get this money for myself, the church took it from the people, and I paid it back for them. Hathaway said confidently.
The amount of money needed to settle hundreds of thousands of victims is unimaginably huge, although she has made a lot of money through the fireworks business and the carriage business, but the construction of the Cordillera Collar also requires a lot of investment, fortunately, her investment is mainly in agriculture, and with the excellent grain provided by the fairy garden, it is relatively labor-saving, otherwise it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
The veteran shook his head, he didn't have a good impression of the Nature Church, so he didn't think about persuading Hathaway to improve relations or anything like that, "Hathaway, you should start building a fifth-level spell model, if you can't advance to a level magician before the war starts, with the power of the Cordillera Leader, it will be very dangerous." ”
"There's no time right now. Wait until you're back in the Cordillera. Hathaway thought for a moment and said.
She found that there was so much to do and too little time, especially the time bomb of the dark lands and the unstable element of the barbarians, which were headaches. In contrast, the affairs of the church are simpler, as long as she does not show her feet, she does not have to worry at all.
Although the people of the church did not want to publicize it, such a large building was in ruins, and even if the whole of Heidelberg helped them, it would not be able to justify it. When Hathaway saw Carey hurrying in. Sandos time. Even the guests of their small inn knew about it. Among them are many people who gloat.
"Your Excellency Santos, I heard disturbing news this morning, is it true?" Hathaway asked with concern.
"Yes...... It's true. "Carey. Sandos didn't know what to put on a face.
This incident has caused the face of the Natural Church to plummet, he can be sure. The countess in front of her would never care about the loss of the church. I'm afraid it's more about schadenfreude.
"It's unbelievable!"
The expression on Hathaway's face was exaggerated even to herself. "Lord Santos, have you caught the arsonist?"
"How do you know it's arson?" Carey. Santos immediately tensed all over.
Hathaway rolled her eyes, "What's so difficult about this, those magic circles in the church." What kind of fire can make them all fail together? It must have been man-made sabotage. ”
Carey. Santhoston was speechless.
"Your Excellency Santos, I am leaving Heidelberg today, when will the chaplain team of the church arrive?" Hathaway asked with a smile.
"Your Excellency, I have come to inform you of this. For some reason, the team may have to leave late, so hopefully you'll be able to wait a few more days in Heidelberg. "Carey. Santos looked a little embarrassed.
"I understand. However, there are still many things to deal with in the territory. The church will send this team to the Cordillera when it is convenient, and I will prepare the station in advance. Hathaway said she understood.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your understanding."
Carey. Santos could only thank him, who came early in the morning to find the four knights, and the knights unanimously proved that Hathaway was indeed resting in the room, and that no one was looking for her...... Knights also have a bottom line, they can't listen to the root of the wall, and these knights are bronze knights, they can tell if there is someone in the room.
On that day, Hathaway's shape was unprecedentedly nervous, not to mention those thieves and bastards on the street, even the people who asked for food and stray dogs were gone, and the mercenaries who were quite arrogant in the past were very honest at this time, and they would not go to the street if they could not go to the street, and even if they wanted to go to the street, they would not bring a piece of equipment with them, lest they cause any trouble.
However, Hathaway did not leave Heidelberg until mid-morning, because the gates of Heidelberg did not open until ten o'clock...... No matter how much the old emperor hated the church, this basic face would still be taken care of.
Bi Lin. Hegel came with a special operator to pick up Hathaway, so Hathaway didn't have a carriage for the church, but when she left Heidelberg, Hathaway always felt that someone was watching her, but when she looked around, she didn't find anything...... Little did she know that when her carriage disappeared at the end of the avenue, Steven. Kennett had just come down from the city walls, and he had a very strange feeling that if the affairs of the church had anything to do with Hathaway, there would be big trouble.
……
Kandia is a famous commercial city in the province of Zimbwe, and further north is the border of the Orc Empire. Although there are frequent armed conflicts between orcs and humans, it still does not affect the prosperity of Candia, and a large number of Orc Empire's specialties flow into Candia City every year, and even when there is no tension between the two sides, orcs will appear in the city's trading market.
Before the morning fog had lifted, a horse-drawn carriage drove towards the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate lazily patted the empty iron box beside him, and there was a 'bang' sound, and the iron box had 'entry tax' written on it...... In the Otiga Empire, this tax has long been abolished in most places, but some places, at the insistence of the lords, still retain this tax that is clearly behind the times.
The carriage came to a slow stop, and the two colts, apparently not given a chance to use them, kicked restlessly on the ground, their huge heads looking around.
"My lord, Candia City has arrived."
The young coachman stepped out of the carriage, took out a delicate wooden bench from under the wheel, and placed it at the door.
The car door opened, and a young female swordsman about twenty years old got out of the car, dressed in a samurai attire, looking energetic and extremely capable.
She glanced around and stood by the door, and then a young girl appeared at the door and stepped gracefully out of the carriage on a wooden bench.
Hathaway was listening to Leonardo. Beirut's persuasion led to the wearing of the clothes often worn by aristocratic ladies...... And as a girl, although magic robes can bring a sense of security and superiority, they really don't have any advantages in terms of fashion trends. And with Hathaway's achievements in alchemy, it was simply too simple to make a few pieces of jewelry with excellent protective abilities. Hathaway's clothing styles are extracted from the computer, which are the product of a combination of European classical art and modern fashion trends.
As soon as it appeared, it attracted a lot of attention, especially the soldiers who were originally guarding the door, who had subconsciously become respectful, and a few pedestrians who were originally in front of them also hurriedly got out of the way.
"Amund, you go find a hotel first, and we'll take a walk around at will." Hathaway commanded.
After paying the entrance tax, she and Bilin. Hegel Walking in the Streets, Amund...... Even the special combat team members who drove the carriage to find the hotel where they were staying, and they all had communication crystals in their hands to contact.
Although the return to the Cordillera led by the province of Zimblewe, he could not reach the city of Candia. On the way, however, they heard that there was going to be a big auction in Candia, where there would be some rare materials and the alchemist Fernando. Corval's work, so Hathaway and Birling. Hegel made a special trip here.
Fernando. Koval was a man from 3,000 years ago, and the greatest achievement of his life was alchemy, known as the left hand of the gods. Although Hathaway has a lot of alchemy books to read in the Demon Spirit Temple, it is not as real as observing it in kind. And she heard that the alchemist was still a half-elf, so she was more interested in his work.
Bi Lin. Hegel looked around curiously, she actually liked to follow Hathaway, this girl was also pitiful, she was not yet ten years old and followed her father among pirates, and her only knowledge of the geography of the world was the sea, the islands, and the long routes. If you hadn't followed Hathaway, you wouldn't have known that there are so many landscapes in the interior.
Ciudad Candia is a typical northern city, from the city walls to the buildings in the city, it is full of northern roughness...... It must be said that there is no comparison between this place and Vermont City, and if there is a comparison, it is the difference between the city and the country. But if you compare it to the Cordillera Plateau, the latter is not far from the wilderness.
Just as the two of them were walking around and looking at the local style of the buildings, a girl crouching in the corner and in shabby clothes looked at them with blazing eyes, and just as the two were about to walk in front of her, the girl stood up at once and came to the two of them and saluted: "Honorable young lady, I know the city of Candia well, if you want to visit the city of Candia, I can provide you with the most satisfactory guide service." ”
"Oh, guide? How do you charge? Hathaway asked with a smile.
The girl looked very clever, only about ten years old, and although her clothes were shabby, she was neat and tidy, and her face was cleaned, not as sloppy as other beggars.
Seeing her kind attitude, the girl did not scold herself, her face was a little less apprehensive, and she replied respectfully: "The little one does not dare to charge, and the young lady will reward it." ”
"You're a good talker."
Hathaway smiled on her face: "Okay, then you can show us the scenery of this Candia City, and if there are any more well-known commercial stores, please also introduce them to us." As long as you do a good job, I will definitely reward you. ”
"As you wish, noble lady." The girl's face showed a hint of joy. (To be continued......)
