After two days of sailing, the supply ship arrived in Memphis City on the afternoon of the third day, a city the size of Eyre, but with a much more serious atmosphere than Eyre because it was in charge of military supplies.

A lot of people in military uniforms can be seen both at the docks and in the city. For some reason, the military uniforms here are six or seven percent similar to those on the earth, which makes Xiao Chen and the others feel like they have arrived in a strange earth country in the early twentieth century.

"It's not magical at all. Luo Ling said that when she walked through the streets of the city, her eyes lingered on the windows of several clothing stores, and those trench coats and dresses placed on human-shaped shelves would not look too abrupt if they were moved directly to the earth, at most they were a little retro. But in the reincarnation of the fashion world, it is possible that this style can set off a new trend.

Xiao Chen touched her and pointed forward.

I saw two workers laying wires on a telephone pole, which should be a newly erected wire, and there were several poles in front of it that were not wired.

Luo Ling said: "Don't you think that having such an earth-like civilization in the wizarding world is very magical in itself? What kind of power is it to restrain them from using convenient and efficient magic power, and in this way?"

Xiao Chen also shook his head.

"Wires are a new thing in the South," Ethelit said. The Southerners are always more conservative, and when new things come out, they always use them a few beats slower.

Just like these power supply companies, they basically started from the north of the mainland. The one that now lays wires in Memphis City, Commander Montaño's family has a lot of shares. ”

For these people from the Eastern Continent, Ethelit already has some trust and does not have too many taboos. On the contrary, he has a sense of pride when he talks about these things.

"You can see a similar scene in our territory in the Eastern Continent. Roger said.

"You have magic and you still use electricity?" Esselit was amazed, and the realization of magic in the past two days made him think that it was a much more powerful energy source than electricity.

"It's like your steamship uses both magic crystals and coal, isn't it......? You can be prepared for a rainy day. ”

"But speaking of which, it has been more than a decade since electricity has been used in various places as a major energy source. But in the past ten years, all kinds of changes have changed too much. ”

"But isn't Memphis, as a military powerhouse, the first to use electricity?" asked Roger.

"Not really. Ethelit pointed to a six- or seven-story building in the distance and said, "In an important facility like the headquarters, there is already electricity. These lines that are now being laid are for some peripheral facilities, or for civilian use. ”

Sure enough, when they passed by a street corner, they saw a worker installing electric lights in the window of a clothing store, and by the way, removing the original oil lamps and candlesticks, it seemed that as long as the wires were connected here, there would be an extra brightly lit window at night.

"I remember when I was a kid, most of the lamps were oiled, and the glass of the windows was always green, and of course there were a little more advanced lamps that consumed spar wicks. But hedron wicks are expensive, so only wealthy families can afford to use them. ”

"What is a hedron wick?" Luo Ling asked curiously.

"It's just to break up the fire hedron and grind it into powder, mix the powder with charcoal powder and the like, and then ignite it. ”

"You never use magic circles to light up crystals, do you? don't use lighting crystals, healing crystals, image crystals and anything like that?" Luo Ling asked.

"Do you mean these?" Esselit pulled out a small hedron from his pocket, judging by the color, it should be a healing hedron, "Of course the hedron is used, but we have to use our fighting energy to activate them, so we can't use them on artifacts." As for the circle...... It's the power of the devil here. I've heard that some wizards make something like that. But to use them in public is to find death. ”

"This has only happened since the city of Memphis changed its logistics commander. That commander was none other than General Montaño's cousin. Esselit gave a look of "you know," said Esselit, "When the Holy Maiden was about to end her last life, she told us that this was the beginning of a new era, and there were still many people who didn't understand what it meant. Now, everyone is starting to understand. Since the advent of steam and electricity, there have been so many things in the world that have changed, and those changes are too fast to understand. ”

Esselit led them out of an alley to a large intersection, which was supposed to be the most central and prosperous part of Memphis, and carriages passed in front of them.

"In this change, a lot of changes have taken place, some families have seized the opportunity and become important families, and some ancient and noble families have not taken advantage of this wave of changes, and they have slowly fallen silent. General Montaño's family is undoubtedly the best of them. ”

"It seems that their family is more receptive to new things?" Luo Ling said.

"It's not that they're very welcoming to innovation. Their family has a ...... for saints With a strong belief, this family has always followed in the footsteps of the Holy Maiden. No matter how incredible the instructions given by the saints were at the time, they would have tried them. Even if there are many times when the head breaks and the bleeding does not stop. Sometimes they suffer a lot of setbacks from the beginning, but the guidance of the Holy Maiden always proves correct in the end. So...... Their family, as well as other families that firmly follow the saint's path, are often at the forefront. ”

"So, there are still some people who disapprove of the Holy Maiden, or even oppose her?" Xiao Chen asked.

"It is impossible not to have different opinions, there are always some things that involve various interests. There are people who can do anything to protect their interests, and no one in this country is going to openly oppose the Holy Maiden, but you can oppose the Society of the Philosophers, you can oppose the Town Hall, you have many ways to oppose one thing. Ethelit said.

Xiao Chen nodded, she also had a deep understanding of this kind of thing.

Xiao Chen and the others saw patrolling gendarmes on the road, but Ethelit put on the uniform of a naval colonel and naturally walked unimpeded in the city.

It should have been General Montaño who had already made a connection, and they didn't stay in the city for long before they went straight to the convoy. By the end of the evening, the group had already mixed in the convoy and headed for the Holy Maiden City.
