Roy estimates that the reason why the Naru Empire supports the town of Darr so vigorously is on the one hand to develop more people to exploit mineral resources, and on the other hand, it is also to send troops to protect this mineral resource from being destroyed.

For a country where mineral resources are extremely scarce, such a small town is of course crucial.

The way to directly block it is too simple and crude, rather than this, it is better to develop this town thoroughly and let everyone around it share in the benefits.

In this way, when the town encounters a crisis, not only the empire will come forward to protect him, but all the relevant personnel who have benefited from the town will stand up in time to protect the town and protect their existing interests.

It can be said that this decision of the Naru Empire can be regarded as uniting all the people and mobilizing everyone near the town to protect the town of Dall.

Roy didn't know if the Naru Empire had any other wise measures against Darr Town, but in terms of his political acumen, he thought it was a very good decision.

Along the way, Keynes had nothing to say, and told Royce a lot about the Naru Empire, for example, although this world is vast, there are only two countries in total.

One is the Naru Empire, where Roy and the others are now, and the other is the Thine Empire, which is on the continent across the sea.

The two empires had a good relationship a few hundred years ago, when they were marrying and trading with each other to make up for the lack of resources in their respective countries.

But 200 years ago, without knowing what had happened, the relationship between the two countries suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and they turned from friendly countries to mortal enemies.

Not only were marriages abolished, but their respective ports were closed, and trade routes were completely abolished, and some merchants at sea who specialized in smuggling took advantage of the opportunity to develop.

It is precisely because of the presence of these smugglers that the two countries do not really lack the resources of the other country.

Hearing this, Roy couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained: "I don't know what the top brass of the empire thinks, closing the port and ceding the profits to the smugglers?

If the other party's goods go through the port normally, there will definitely be relevant taxes, and the Naru Empire can naturally profit from the tariff.

But now, they closed the port, gave the profits to the smugglers, and when they bought the resources themselves, they had to pay for it.

Roy really couldn't understand the operation.

Keynes shook his head and said with an indifferent look: "No one knows exactly why, anyway, the port has been closed since that time, and it has not been completely opened until now." ”

After a pause, Keynes suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Oh, by the way, don't think that those smugglers make money so easily, but it's not so easy, this is traveling through the sea, and many people can't come back." ”

Hearing this, Ainabel was also curious, she had been listening to the common sense of Keynes and Roykop that she had long been familiar with, and she didn't interject at first, what Keynes was talking about now was something she didn't know, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Is it because of the weather in the ocean?"

Roy couldn't help but ask,

Keynes shook his head and said, "That's one thing, it's mainly because there are a lot of pirates in the Menton Ocean. ”

"Pirates?!"

Aynabel exclaimed, it was the first time she had heard that when Keynes had taken her alone, he had never said so much like he did today, and if it weren't for Roy, she probably wouldn't have heard of these things.

Keynes nodded exaggeratedly and said, "Yes, these pirates specialize in robbing the cargo ships of those smuggling merchants, and some of them kill people and plunder goods, and do all kinds of evil, and I have also heard that some pirates have very strange interests, and it is better to live than die if they fall into their hands." ”

"In that case, these smugglers are making money with their lives. ”

Roy said with emotion, I didn't expect it to be easy for people from other worlds to make money.

Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, there is nothing that is not earned for nothing.

"Yes, but if they can succeed in coming back, the profits are also very terrible, so even if they know that Menduyang is dangerous, there are still many people who take risks. ”

"But ah, this has nothing to do with us, we are located inland, I don't know how far away from the harbor, and pirates generally only wander around the Menton Ocean, basically not close to the coastline of the Empire, after all, our navy of the Naru Empire is not a vegetarian. ”

Keynes said proudly, as if he felt a strong sense of belonging to the country.

And after listening to Keynes's words, Ainabel was not so afraid of pirates, as Keynes said, they were inland, and if pirates could still run inland to rob, they would not be pirates, but robbers.

According to Keynes's estimates, it took three days to travel from the small village of Mose to the town of Darl, and although they took the main road along the way, because the village of Mose was so remote, they did not meet anyone along the way.

If it weren't for Keynes's muttering and nagging along the way, Roy really wouldn't know how to relieve his boredom.

Don't make a fuss, this silly girl is so unaccomplished, Roy doesn't want to tease another fool like a fool.

After three days of traveling, the three of them finally arrived in the town of Dall.

It wasn't the first time Aynabel had been to Dalltown, so she had only a long-lost sense of familiarity with the town, and it certainly wasn't the first time Cairns had been there as a local.

Only Roy, as an outsider from another world, saw for the first time a human gathering place outside of the small village of Mose.

He was stunned in an instant.

He used to think that the streets of the village, large and small, were already very lively, but compared to the crowds in Dall Town today, it was simply a drop in the shadows.

Let's just say that the liveliness of the town of Dall in front of Roy's eyes can only be compared to the Great Wall he knows well when it reaches the peak tourist season!

This is not an exaggeration in the slightest.

Although I haven't seen the bustling scene of the town yet, the fact that travelers entering the town from all directions in just a few minutes is enough to tell the whole story.

"What an exaggeration!"

Roy couldn't help but sigh.

The small village and the small town really can't compare.
