"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I understand when you're away."

Angus didn't care about the girl's denial, in his opinion, this was a very wise thing to do, and it would be strange if he did, even if she was not the princess of the Verdant Empire, it was estimated that she was born in the line of a certain great nobleman of the empire.

The reason why I don't guess the nobles of the Zephyr Kingdom is because Angus knows the country too well, he himself was born in a baronial family of the Zephyr Kingdom, and later ran away to do business because he was framed by his brother.

It can be regarded as unintentional, but I didn't expect that his talent and luck are not bad, and now he has become the leading wealthy businessman in Port Hopeland, and he is also the number one person in Verga.

This time Zephyr came to pick up his daughter and go to Verga. In the past few years, he was busy with entertainment and business, and he has not settled down, and it is not until these two years that he has arranged various industries properly. was finally able to take care of his daughter to Vilga to make up for the regret of raising her alone in Zephyr before.

Angus's daughter also has good living conditions in Zephyr, with a large manor and servants to take care of her, but after all, she has no relatives around, and her personality has become a little perverse.

The main reason is that Elaine's mother died early, and there was only one nurse around to take care of her, and the others were all servants, and no one dared to disobey her, so she gradually developed a spoiled personality.

Angus also found a famous teacher in Hopland this time, ready to be by her side, teach her, and change her awkward personality, and Zephyr, it is estimated that she will not come again in the future. Today's nobles of the Zephyr Kingdom are in ruins, and they are experts in civil wars, and their glory and mission have long been forgotten, and they know pleasure all day long. It is no wonder that in recent years, there have been frequent uprisings and civil strife.

Looking at the extremely knowledgeable and erudite girl in front of him, Angus guessed that she was either from a noble family in the Verdant Empire or a student of the Academy of Amenus.

The mages of Roulna were also knowledgeable, but they were never interested in business.

Speaking of Rourna, it is necessary to introduce the current situation of the western continent today.

Today's Western Continent is bounded by the Sigh Mountains in the center, and is roughly divided into two parts, east and west.

The East is the most powerful verdant empire on the continent, occupying nearly half of the continent.

Since the strong rise of the Verdant Empire more than 300 years ago, the seven great powers in the western part of the continent, Verga, Rovna, Gufia, Falcon, Sanctuary, Zephyr, and Black Rock, have formed a bloody alliance in the Snow Blossom Mountains to form the Snowward Alliance to counter the expansion of the Emerald Empire.

Verga is famous for its trade and navy, Rovna is dominated by alchemists and mages, Falcon is ruled by the Winged Clan and Knights, Sanctuary is the base camp of the Angel Sequence, Black Rock is the land of mercenaries and mountains and forests, Gufia is the last place of the orc tribes, and the advocate of the Snowy Alliance, the once glorious land of the Zephyr.

More than a hundred years ago, the Seven Kingdoms formed a coalition of about 2 million troops to block the invasion of the Verdant Empire at the Apocalypse Fortress south of the Sighing Mountains.

At that time, they fought for nearly a year, and the two sides continued to increase their troops in the future, and finally united about 2.6 million with Xuehua and about 3 million from the Verdant Empire.

It was not until the final defeat of the Verdant Empire that the war came to an end, and then the two sides ceased fighting, and slowly there was peace for nearly a hundred years. This battle is also known as the "Battle of the Broken Bow".

There are many meanings in it, the bow and arrow technique of the Green Empire inherits the forest elves, which can be said to be a very famous representative, and it is said that in this battle, the bow was broken, and the arrows were shot, and they still couldn't win, so they withdrew from the army and negotiated peace. Some people say that this symbolizes the fantasy bow of the Verdant Empire, which was ruthlessly broken, and the dream of dominating the continent was shattered.

After Angus and Lorain Hill had spoken for a while, the pampered girl in the blue dress returned.

"Father, let's go back, I don't want to stay here anymore, we'll leave for Verga tomorrow."

"Okay, my dear daughter, I've left you alone in the kingdom of Zephyr all these years."

Angus got up and said hello to Lorain Hill before leaving.

Watching the father and daughter leave, Lorain Hill also became interested in Verga.

Verga was part of the Kingdom of Zephyr many years ago, and as a coastal province, it had a strong trade and many good ports.

The Duke of Verga was usually a title only obtained by the king's own brothers, but during a certain infighting, the royal family was divided, and the Duke of Verga was killed, and his subordinates, fearing liquidation, united with the merchants of the territory to become independent.

Due to the development of maritime trade, these great merchants had their own fleets and escorts, and in this way, several forces joined forces, and finally defeated the army that came to suppress them, so that the Kingdom of Zephyr had to recognize its independence.

But after all, businessmen want to do business, and they don't want to make the relationship so dead.

Therefore, Verga still nominally belongs to the Zephyr Kingdom, and will also pay a lot of gold coins every year to appease the royal family of Zephyr.

But in fact, Verga is now governed by the guild of the business alliance, and the members of the guild come from the major chambers of commerce, balancing and restricting each other, and discussing matters together. Everything is aimed at making money, so it's quite dynamic.

After eating the delicious ice cream, Lorain Hill walked around the city again and found an alchemy shop in Seabuckthorn City.

"Hello, do you want to buy something, or do you want to make it to order?"

A clerk in dark blue overalls stepped forward and asked.

"Can I take a look first?" From under the black hood came the girl's light voice.

The clerk looked at it a little, and this dress and clothes should not be worn by ordinary people, so he stepped aside and guided the girl to the showcase.

"Hello, may I ask what kind of demand there is, not that I am boasting, our Blue Precision Workshop is the most powerful alchemy workshop in the Kingdom of Zephyr, with branches in major cities in the kingdom, with a complete range of categories, even if there is no stock, you can also say the requirements and let our alchemy master give you exclusive customization."

"Are you the most powerful in the Kingdom of Zephyr?"

Lorain Hill looked at the rows of black iron-grade potions on the counter, and felt that the other party was bragging.

"Of course, not only do we often supply the military, but sometimes the royal family also asks us to order something."

Speaking of this, the clerk felt an inexplicable sense of pride, and his face was about to glow.

"Do you know that in the hall of the palace of the Zephyr King, there is a three-person high clock, and there are 24 delicate brass figures in it, and every time it is punctual, one of the little people in beautiful clothes will come out to beat the gong and drum to tell the time, and then change another one at the next point. They have different forms and beautiful shapes, and even the ambassadors of the Verdant Empire are full of praise when they see it. ”

"Did you make that bell in your workshop?"

The clerk gave a look that you know very well, and was very satisfied with the girl's question, and began to brag about how beautiful and delicate the clock was, not only to tell the time accurately, but also to provide light at night.

It sounds powerful, but isn't it just a clock? Loren Hill thought to herself.

The precision parts and construction of clocks and watches make outsiders look like they don't know how powerful they are, and they can bluff people.

In the memory of the girl, the mechanical watch has actually been gradually eliminated by the times, and the mechanical watch of several thousand yuan is not as accurate as the electronic watch of 5 yuan on the street, and the only use may be to highlight the luxury of identity.

But the fact that the most representative works of a workshop are actually just luxury goods that are not very useful, does it mean that its direction is beginning to skew.

No longer paying attention to the clerk's boasting, Lorain Hill took a closer look around the store.

Most of the goods are small but beautiful luxury goods, such as hollow balls that can float on the chassis, ducks that can tell the time, crystal slippers that can change colors, capes with light and shadow effects, and so on.

Really practical good things, Luo Lan Hill only saw a bronze evaluation of the long sword, and three phantom sound potions, the others are either black iron level of little use, or purely decorative luxury.

[Phantom Elixir] (Bronze Level): Alters the speaker's voice for 1 hour.

This potion can be used in a wide range of scenarios, whether it is simulating various sounds to seduce or intimidate in battle, or to beautify one's own timbre in performances and speeches.
