Frost Rose, District 1, formerly the country of Rulna, Mozwa, the capital of the clock tower.

Coarse black smoke emitted from chimneys in the suburbs, neat rows of factories lined up on both sides of the river, and tall ships slowly sailed across the river, carrying a long wake. These ships sailed inland from the distant estuary, constantly unloading all kinds of heavy cargo, some of which were black coal, and some of which were heavy of various metals.

These things are transported from all over the world, and then gathered here, and they are processed into various alchemical products, which are then sold everywhere. It contained weapons, cannons, clocks, telescopes, metal parts, and much more, and the enormous profits that made the alchemists of Rouwerner extremely rich.

The streets of the city are very spacious, and the brass street lamps are delicately shaped, but unfortunately some corners have been covered with a layer of rust.

There was a small amount of water on the road after the rain, and there was a splash as the horse-drawn carriages drove by. Some of these carriages were drawn by horses, while others were driven by machines, or they should not be called horse-drawn carriages, and the magic locomotive was more appropriate.

As a magic guide motorcycle stopped, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper first stepped out of the car, then opened the door and helped a girl in a blue dress to walk down gently.

The high heels stepped on the wet floor, and a slight splash sounded. The blonde girl in the blue dress looked up at the towering building in front of her, with its long spire reaching into the sky. There are four huge stone pillars in front of the main entrance, and people in leather shoes are constantly entering and exiting the gate, and there are various sounds of conversation from time to time.

"Is this the branch of the Aioni Chamber of Commerce?" The girl walked in front with her skirt in her hand, and several bodyguards dressed in black walked behind her. Looking at the exquisite patterns of the mechanical swords in the hands of these bodyguards, he knew that these were all exquisite alchemical creations after enchantment.

"Yes, Miss."

The butler on the side led the way and introduced the background of the Aioni Chamber of Commerce.

"The Aionian Chamber of Commerce deals mainly in books and paper, but also in opera and interpretation."

"It is said that over the years, because of the training of a group of famous singers, performing operas and poems, the sales of his own books have increased significantly." The butler continued.

"Then their products should be very popular with those nobles or rich ladies, why not set up their headquarters here, the rich people of Mozwa should be the top three in the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, and besides, the alchemists and scholars of our country are more interested in literature and drama than the profit-loving Yubere merchants, and there are more customers."

"Well, it is said that most of their paper mills are located on the Verga side, because it is closer to the forest farm and some raw material production areas, which is more convenient. Later, when the Verga split, they were also divided to the west, and only some of the property was transferred. ”

"New Verga......" The blonde lady thought for a moment, then walked into the hall, looking at the rows of windows and the long line.

"There are a lot of people, have you made a reservation in advance?"

"It's an appointment, Miss, please come with me, the head of Aioni's branch is on the third floor." The butler walked in front, and then asked one of the attendants behind him to contact the waiter in the chamber of commerce first.

Soon after, several personnel in neat uniforms stepped forward to greet them.

"Welcome to the eldest lady of the Shelia family, please come with us." A long red carpet was lowered, then stood on either side and bent down in salute.

Looking at the grand scene in the hall, some people next to him began to discuss.

"Who's that young lady? Let the Aionian Chamber of Commerce be so welcome. ”

"I don't know, but looking at her appearance and the bodyguards around her, she should have been born in a big family."

"I haven't seen it, but she's beautiful." One guest sighed.

"Okay, okay, just those few words that come and go, and you're also a literature lover, don't you know other adjectives?"

"Isn't this a casual remark, it's better to keep it simple in life. By the way, do any of you know that young lady? I want to know her name."

"But I don't know."

"I don't know."

After a long time, a voice came from the corner: "It is the leader of the Hour Hour faction, the eldest lady of the Shelia family, Lady. ”

As the words fell, the blonde girl disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

As the former capital of Rulna, Mozva is known as the capital of the clock tower, because in the early years, clocks and watches were intricate creations that only a small number of alchemists could make, so they were in short supply among the great nobility and wealthy, and their value was extremely high.

Most alchemists also pride themselves on making accurate clocks, and Mozva is also the capital of the country, bringing together many well-known alchemists in the country, and there are many factions, most of which will build a large clock tower on the faction's building, as a way to show their technical excellence, and also serve as an advertisement.

In this way, there were more and more clock towers in Mozwane, and finally it was named the capital of clock towers.

Hundreds of years later, the number of alchemists in Rulna multiplied, and the clocks and watches became less sophisticated, but the clock towers remained. And to this day, some alchemy factions also retain their original names, 'Hour Clock' is one of them, as the faction that started out in making clocks and watches, it is still one of the six strongest factions in the country, and the descendants of the leader family, Lotice naturally has a lot of power.

Aioni Chapter, 3rd Floor.

"In other words, does Miss Lady's Lady's want to publish a publication of her own?"

A middle-aged man in a white shirt and neat vest sat on the sofa, looked at the blonde lady opposite, and asked carefully.

"Yes, everyone's aesthetics are too vulgar nowadays, or the kind of thick powder face, wearing layers of skirts, and the ornaments hanging on them are estimated to weigh a few pounds, decorating women like vases, it's uncomfortable to look at."

After talking in detail, the blonde girl picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of her and took a small sip, she was already dissatisfied with some of the current clothing styles, and when other girls of the same age were still chasing the trend, she had already begun to think about how to create the trend.

"What do you think, or Miss Lettice, what kind of beauty do you want to convey?" The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce pondered the words and asked the eldest lady cautiously. The current headquarters of the Aioni Chamber of Commerce is far away in the west, and the side of the branch is already weak, if he offends this eldest lady, it is estimated that he will encounter all kinds of troubles in the future, which is not what he wants to see.

"Well...... Lettice put down her teacup, but her mind drifted to her distant roommate, the friend who barely wore any accessories.

"Maybe it would be better to be simple and natural."

The blonde lady seemed to have an explosion of inspiration, describing a new style of dressing to the head of the Chamber of Commerce in front of her, focusing on simplicity and freshness, while the other party took the trouble to understand the young lady's whimsical ideas, and then wrote them down one by one.

"We have a general idea of Miss Lettice's idea, but if the first edition is used, we won't release it until next year."

"No, even if you find someone to make an appointment, do the preparation and printing, it won't take so long." Lettice was a little confused.

"I'm sorry, because the current printing line is running at full capacity, and I really don't have time to re-commission and print new products."

"Are you perfunctory to me? Or do you want to treat me like a child? ”

Although her temper has subsided when she was at school, she has returned to her familiar territory, and the eldest lady of Lettis has a temper again. Moreover, what she said was not unreasonable, with so many printing houses in Aioni, it was a trivial matter to free up your hands to print a few magazines.

"Sorry, this ...... How can I explain it to you, it is indeed an extraordinary situation at the moment, I am not convenient to say directly, if you ask the head of the Shelia family, he will tell you the reason. The head of the Aioni Chamber of Commerce wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to explain why.

Slightly confused, Latice turned to the butler behind her, who leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Miss, the Aionian Chamber of Commerce really can't spare its hands at the moment, because the war is about to start."

In the distant Duchy of Black Rock, the Falcon Kingdom, and the Sanctuary Country, airships sailed through the sky, snowflake-like papers fell from the sky, and documents printed with rose patterns announced in all directions.

Under the sky, rose-patterned flags were gradually erected and rushed into the distance.
