Cole felt that it was much more comfortable to ride in a boat than to use a cow-drawn cart, not only was there a lot of space but there were no bumps, and the cargo was also on board, so there was no need to worry about beast attacks or robbers.

"Knight Cole, half of the goods have been sold in the first two cities, and there are still three more cities to go, so you have to save some sales. Kyle walked over to the deck and said to Cole as he flipped through the drawings.

All of them knew that the purpose of the voyage was to spread the word, second, to test the navigability of the new ship, called the Icefield, and finally to sell industrial goods such as iron, glass, and pens.

"I know. Cole put away the drawings, "The merchants in Kosol City were regular customers before, and I had to give them more, but don't worry, there are still more than half of the goods, enough for us to sell to Broken Cloud City." ”

"That's good," Kyle suddenly asked, standing at the bow of the boat with Cole, looking at the pleasant scenery on both sides, "I heard your girlfriend is a witch?"

"Ah......" Cole was startled, not understanding why she was saying this, "it's... What's wrong? You think I'm doing something wrong?"

"No, I just think it's strange, witches obviously have the same emotions as ordinary people, and not all of them are vicious, why do people be silent when they talk about witches?" Kyle leaned on the railing, looking at the gentle water, she remembered the smile on Shina's face waving at her at parting.

"It's not because of the church," Cole took out his binoculars and began to look around, "I heard Katya say that the Aura Empire was probably established with the help of the witch, but after that, the church and the royal family were afraid that they would not be able to control the witch's power, so they ordered the witch to be killed, and over time, the witch's reputation was equated with the devil, and some people had never even seen the witch, but because of the church's propaganda, they became disgusted with the witch." ”

"I'm so glad I was in Icefields, or I'd be just as pitiful as those brainwashed by the Church. ”

"I'm glad I wouldn't have met Katya. Cole looked around and imagined Katya's sometimes cold and sometimes happy face, he remembered that the first time he saw her was at a ball, and the bright and beautiful Katya accepted his invitation to dance with him, and since then, he couldn't help himself, and tried his best to get close to her, even if she often couldn't say a few words to him, but as long as he was by her side, he felt happy.

"Who's in love......" Kyle sighed.

After a full day's voyage, the Icefield finally reached Vana City, another large city along the Hirri River, in the afternoon.

The wharf of Vana City was very large, and there were many merchant ships coming and going, and it was also the best place to spread information, so they didn't even have to go to the downtown area, they just moved the goods and divided them into three groups, one group of people guarded the ship, and the other two groups of people set up stalls in different places and shouted for sales.

Maybe it's because the reputation of Icefield City's good things has spread to this city close to the Central Plains, hearing the clamour, the surrounding merchants immediately surrounded him, and Cole also took the opportunity to pick up an iron pot and shouted, "Look, it is printed with the exclusive flame rose mark of Icefield City, which is guaranteed to be produced by Icefield City! And this iron pot is not simple, it once resisted the magic of the witch! You can't buy it, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled, I sell you twenty gold coins, I think it's a good deal for you......"

Hearing what Cole said, the people around him were taken aback, and some people questioned, "Nonsense! Let's not talk about whether your pot can resist the witch's magic, just the broken ground in Icefield City, that witch will go there?"

"That's it!"

"yes, how did the witch go to the ground in Icefield City?"

"It's a lie at first glance. ”

The crowd began to accuse him of bragging, but this was exactly what Cole wanted, he didn't need to tell the truth, he just needed to start up, and the businessmen would naturally spread the word inadvertently.

"Don't worry, everyone, I didn't say that the witch would stay in our Icefield City, as far as I know," Cole suddenly lowered his voice, and the people around him thought that there was some secret, so they all tightened up a bit, just waiting for him to finish the second half of the sentence, "As far as I know, there are a large number of witches in the Orr Mountains west of Icefield City who are gathering, and this pot was burned black by the passing Flame Witch. ”

"Really?" the businessmen seemed to think they had made a big splash, and they all started talking.

"It seems to be true, I also heard the news that the witch is gathering to the west. Someone chimed in.

Someone chimed in, "I've heard of it too!"

After going back and forth, the merchants all nodded their heads again and again, confirmed the news, and all made up their minds that if they went to Icefield City in the future, it would be best to take the waterway, and it was best to remind other colleagues.

Next, many of the goods around Cole were paid for by the merchants before they were opened, and at the same time, there was also the rumor of "iron pot blocking magic" that was completely nonsense.

Cole smiled and tossed a gold coin into his pocket, gestured at the nurses in the distance, and then packed up their belongings and returned to the ship, using his position as a merchant to spread rumors.

"I saw your performance. Kyle leaned on the side of the boat and smiled at Cole.

"How's it going? We're doing well, aren't we?" Cole smiled back as he handed the heavy money bag to the deputy who kept the gold coins.

"So how did you come to be a knight? I think a musical actor is more suitable for you. Kyle handed him an orange, which was prescribed by His Highness Rafa, and the crew had to eat two oranges a day.

"Don't say it, I really had such a plan when I was a child, but my father thought that it was too embarrassing for me to be an actor who entertained people as a nobleman, so he made me a knight. Cole rarely eats the fruit, and it took a bite before remembering that it was meant to be peeled and eaten.

"Hehehe, I know how Captain Kono can let you do whatever you want. With the sweet and sour orange in his mouth and the breeze blowing on the river, Kyle thought it would be nice to come out once in a while.

"What about you? You wouldn't have aspired to be a knight since you were a child, would you?"

"Hmm......" Kyle paused, "I was a well-off kid, and I wanted to open a flower shop and sell flowers to men and women who fell in love, and witness their happiness, but since my parents died, the original loyal house slaves ran away with my rightful property, and the only way I could keep my title was to become a knight, and just like that, although my title was cut twice, at least it was kept, alas...... I don't know what I thought in the first place, for the sake of this false name......"

"That's why you can't open a flower shop now, that's why you applied to His Highness Rafa to be that ...... What's that?"

"It's the Civil Affairs Bureau, the place where the newlyweds are registered," Kyle gave him a blank look, "but I've been there for a few days, and no couple have come to register." ”

"It's time for Icefield City to be in a big production now, and few people have time to fall in love. ”

"What about you? Don't you have time?"

"I ......," Cole was a little choppy.

"By the way, His Highness Rafa ordered us to come out this time to go back with a full load of saltpeter, have you found the source?" Kyle didn't want to embarrass him, and digressed the subject.

"It has been negotiated, and the merchants of Platinum City upstream have begun to prepare saltpeter, and we can load it on the ship when we go back. ”

"Then let's go, who knows if Renault will continue to send people to attack Icefield City, let's go back as soon as possible." ”

"Well," Cole nodded, shouting at the sailor on the mast, "sail!"

Taking advantage of the good wind, the Icefield sailed overnight, and finally arrived at the final destination of the trip at dawn, the largest city in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Broken Cloud City.

Broken Cloud City is known as Little Byron, but its majestic city wall does not have to be slightly inferior to Byron, if Byron is the political center of Ola, then Broken Cloud is the economic center of Ola, walking on the wide streets, around the taverns and inns can be seen everywhere, merchants from all over the country meet here, it can be described as a city of thousands of merchants.

"If you can take this place...... Tut-tut......"

Several wagons were hired to pull up the goods, and Cole had to sigh at the prosperity of Byron.

As usual, he began to perform the trick of blocking magic in the streets again, and a large number of people were immediately attracted to him, whether it was men, women, old people, or children, they were willing to stop and listen to him tell him how the magic of the iron pot blocking magic was, although everyone knew that he just wanted to sell his pot, but it was obvious that they wanted to pay more attention to the witch than the pot.

After a long day of spreading rumors, all the goods with the mark of Icefield City have been sold, but Cole feels that it is not enough to be in such a huge city, so after dark, he takes a large bag of gold coins, greets Kyle, and leaves the inn where he is staying.
