654 Stormhaven Town
Storm Hometown (large island, population 14.28 million).
Although the Kovalé continent was once unified by Galifa the Great, not all regions belonged to the territory of the Galifa Empire, and many regional Galifa Empires only achieved "nominally" conquest.
The most famous of these is the [Lazar Confederation] region of the Pirate Alliance, with its complex seas and starry islands, an area that no great human Great Yanjing could rule and manage, and it was the famous Pirate Kings who really ruled there.
Although the pirate kings were unable to defend themselves against the mighty Galifa Empire and were forced to submit to the Galifa Empire, the Lazar Confederacy was difficult to manage effectively, and the Emperor had no choice but to divide the powerful pirate kings as hostages and allow them to govern their own territory, which is why the Lazar Confederation is not considered by many historians to be one of the territories of the former Galifa Empire.
The second is the remote island of Hokuriku [Storm Hometown], which was once called "Storm Island" in history.
Storm's Hometown is a large island off the north coast of Andele, originally just a storm-ravaged barren land, where the Half-Elven Dragons [Linlands] requested the Galifa the Great to develop this island as the family headquarters during the time of the Galifa Empire.
In order to monitor the entry and exit of ships in this area, Emperor Galipha the Great agreed to the request of the Lynland family, who existed as allies of the empire at the time, and gave Stormwind Island to the Lynland family as a reward for the half-elves' contribution to the unification cause.
It is worth mentioning that the Linland family is the only dragon pattern family with their own private territory.
After thousands of years of hard work, the descendants of the dragon pattern of the Linland family, who have mastered the [Storm Dragon Pattern], finally used their powerful ability to control the weather to control the climate of Storm Island.
Although the Ander royal family believes that the island is an integral part of the territory of the Ander Kingdom, and the Lynland family, which is close to the Ander royal family, has always allowed the Ander Kingdom to set up a base on the island, and allowed the Ander Navy to patrol the northern coast, using the Storm's hometown as a supply base to avoid the strong winds and tsunamis that rage in the sea of suffering from time to time, but in fact, The Kingdom of Andel does not have direct dominion over this large island with a population of nearly fifteen million.
Due to artificial transformation, Storm's Hometown has become the only paradise island with a warm climate similar to a tropical island in the northern environment with a cold climate, attracting a large number of nobles on the Kovarare continent to go to Stormwind Island to escape the cold in the cold winter season, and it has become a holiday destination in a sense.
And due to the neutral stance and foreign policy of the Linland family, Stormwind's hometown was basically not affected by the war in the end war, so it became the only peaceful shrine on the continent of Kovare.
(Ma note: You can imagine the hometown of Storm as having a climate similar to the treasure island of Taiwan, and a political stance similar to that of neutral Switzerland, but the geographical location is in a strange place in Siberia.) )
As the headquarters of the half-elf Linland family, although it does not take fruits as its main business object, Stormwind Island is indeed a veritable fruit kingdom, whether it is cold fruits or love fruits, it can grow here, and its various fruits and fruit wines are supplied to the entire Kovarare continent as one of the specialties of Stormwind Island.
After riding Azi over the Broken Whisper Forest, Sycamore saw a huge coastal town in the distance, and the [Storm Harbor Town], which was built with a large number of docks as the core, was the only landing site for the ocean-going fleet in Hokuriku, and the natural development was exceptionally prosperous and developed, and the place surrounded by the dangerous Shattered Whisper Forest has also become an extremely rare paradise that is not affected by war.
Neither the previous coup d'état nor the subsequent invasion of Kanas interfered with the peace and quiet here, and the residents, mainly composed of peripheral members of the Linland family, lived in peace and tranquility here, receiving ocean-going fleets from all over the continent, and serving as a transit point to transport the goods brought by the ocean-going fleet to the inland countries through the transmission of small ships.
It looks like a piece of fragrant fat meat, why is no one coveting it in the stormy hometown?
Able to become a neutral zone, the Storm Hometown naturally has its confidence, the Lin Land family, which controls the "Wind Guild" and "Rain Summoning Guild" of the entire Kovarare continent, is a dragon pattern family that that the forces dare not offend, and the family members who have the ability of [Storm Dragon Pattern] have the ability to control the wind and rain, although the Lin Land family does not have its own large-scale armed forces, but if anyone offends them, three meals a day on the enemy's territory, storms, rainstorms, Nima, who can stand it?
Take 10,000 steps back, even if it's not so troublesome, just when the crops are harvested, a sudden storm or a big hail on your land can ensure that you don't harvest all year round... Who would dare to provoke them, you say? Even the war powerhouse Canas didn't have the guts!
Sycamore pressed the dragon eagle and politely landed outside Stormhaven Town, and then walked into this strange harbor town with Xiaoxiao, None, and Cole.
Along the way, Wutong found that caravans from all over the country arrived in Stormport Town, or left Stormport Town, regardless of whether their respective countries and forces were in hostile relations or not, here, they must maintain temporary peace, this is the rule here, and it is also the tacit understanding between the countries... Even if they want to fight, they will still need some special products and materials from hostile countries, and if they have to fight, they have to live a life, right?
If [Market Town] is the commercial center of the southern part of the Adele, then [Passage City] is the financial center of the Central Province of the Adele, and [Stormport Town] is obviously the commercial hub of the Northern Province.
Wutong, who originally thought that his obsidian collar had developed well, looked around with a strong sense of envy, jealousy and hatred, this time he took advantage of the blood disaster and the wolf plague to make a fortune, originally thought it was a big deal, but at a glance, he found that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well who was complacent, and the huge benefits contained in the trade route to Stormhaven Town alone were enough to throw his obsidian collar far away from the distance of eight streets.
What is wealthy, these transnational dragon pattern families are the real wealthy, and in front of others, he is just a small person in the market who shows off to billionaires that he has just earned fifty yuan to move bricks.
At the same time, Wutong is also aware of the gap between the player class he represents and these aboriginal forces that have a history of countless years in "Endless".
Due to the hostile relationship between the Obsidian Territory and the Kingdom of Kannas, the fleet brought back by Uncle Steward from the [Lazar Confederacy] could not reach the Obsidian Territory through the [Legacy Strait] and [Five Nations Lake], and landing from Stormhaven Town involved some other problems, the most important being that it was difficult to pass through the Whispering Forest, and if you wanted to safely bring the supplies of the fleet back to the Obsidian Territory, you had to ask the Linland family for help and borrow their safe and secure secret trade routes.
Before the Sycamore didn't come back, this was originally a difficult big problem, but now that the Sycamore has a new transportation channel, it naturally doesn't have to be so troublesome, but it just needs the Sycamore to run this trip in person.
It is impossible for Wutong to ride the dragon eagle Ah Zi across the [Storm Bay] between [Storm Hometown] and [Storm Harbor Town], not that Ah Zi can't fly that far, but the reason why Storm Bay is called "Storm Bay" is because it can't sail at all because of the terrible storms and waves that continue all year round, and it has become impossible to fly over.
Therefore, Sycamore must transfer to the ferry ship exclusive to the Linland family in Stormstorm Harbor Town, and only the ship that their family owns the dragon pattern descendants of [Storm Dragon Pattern] can safely pass through this terrible sea.
The ticket to cross the sea is not cheap, because it is not his own territory, Sycamore honestly took out gold coins to buy three tickets worth 80 gold coins each, and stepped on the majestic wooden ship with the passengers who boarded the ship.
Standing on the deck and looking around for a while, Wutong didn't see any difference between this wooden ship and ordinary ships, the same mast and the same sails, if there was anything different, that is, the ship was obviously overloaded...
Obviously, you can only take a large ship with a total of 200 people including the crew and sailors, but it is full of nearly 1,000 people, not only all the cabins are crowded with people, but even the deck is crowded with shouting crowds, if you want to be comfortable, you have to spend more money to get a cabin, but only the nobles who scratch the bag will do that, a room that is the size of a palm, barely able to put down a single bed and a small bedside table, actually costs 800 gold coins, to the extent that the sycamore picks the door, it will definitely not be able to do such two things.
Sycamore was a little dumbfounded and watched as the shirtless sailors pulled up the cables and prepared to sail, could they be preparing to let these all stand on the deck and cross the sea? From [Stormstorm Harbor] to arriving at Stormwind Island, according to the normal speed of the ship, it will take a day or two, coupled with the bad weather conditions in Stormwind Bay, under the strong wind and waves, a hammer hits, and it is estimated that ninety percent of the passengers on this deck will fall into the sea!
But the other passengers seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and did not complain about the treatment of having to stay on deck, but chatted with the familiar passengers at a leisurely pace, as if they were not on a broken wooden ship, but on a luxury sightseeing cruise!
