The sea breeze on the seashore swept Miranda's face, and the unnamed sea on the western side of the continent was called the Western Continental Sea, which connected the Republic of Marvier, the Duchy of No, the Duchy of Delaman, and the Kingdom of Sarins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMiranda chose a small seaside hotel to stay at night, waiting for tomorrow.

Escorli separated from Miranda in Evon City, claiming that he had other places to go, and that he wanted to give himself more time, because creation requires quietness. Escorli also told Miranda that there might be a grand wedding feast waiting for him in the Kingdom of Salin, a political marriage between the Duchy of Dramain and the Kingdom of Salins, and that the Bard believed that there would be no more surprises in this marriage.

Miranda, of course, hopes that no one will have accidents. On the night of the blood feast, Miranda stayed in the city to enjoy the joy of the wedding with Winotki and other mercenaries. Later, after Escorri came out of the palace, he took Miranda to celebrate where a group of bards had gathered, and by the time they returned to the Sweet Cookie Chamber of Commerce, the Potato Mercenaries had already left, and it was a day before Miranda and Escorri learned that something unfortunate had happened to the wedding dinner.

Miranda chose to go alone to the northwest of the Duchy of Noo, intending to follow the seaside to the Free City, and finally to the Honor City, the capital of the Republic of Marvel, a place Miranda had never visited, a republic built in the arid desert at the westernmost point of the continent and farthest from Miranda's home, the Golden Hoof.

At the hotel where Miranda was staying, some travelers were discussing what had happened after the bloody feast in the Duchy of Noò.

"I heard that those southern nobles did not obey the Duke of Aldington's orders at all, and this reaction made the Duke of Aldington very dissatisfied!"

"Hey, everyone is on an equal footing, don't you see that the Duchy of Dramain is also like this? The nobles and lords of every place are not convinced, and the main heirs of the Duke of Aldington are all dead, leaving only one daughter who has been burned to the ground, and I am afraid that his duke position will be lost. ”

"In this way, Lutz's plan is really poisonous, making the southern nobles who are most estranged from the Duke of Aldington even more distrustful of Aldington, it is estimated that he wanted to provoke contradictions within the Duchy of Noo? Who would have thought that he would take his own life with him! hehehe!"

Miranda pretended not to hear, eating her own red apple, dressed neutrally and not easily attracting the attention of others.

"But I heard yesterday that the troops of the Winter Kingdom actually appeared on the border of the Duchy of Nuo, and the guys in the north shouldn't be robbing them if they can't do it, right?"

The other immediately blocked his mouth with his hand, and tried to keep his voice as low as possible, "I have long suspected that the Yankees did it, they also took that beauty and the green ghost away, if you also think it is dangerous, let's get out of here first, the Duchy of Noo may be unstable." ”

"But we haven't finished the final payment, and the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce still owes..."

Miranda didn't finish listening and went to her room. This kind of cheapness is where tourist merchants are accustomed to staying, so gossip from all over the world can be heard. And Miranda, who had been following her father Charlik in business for many years, had already learned how to get that news for free, which is very important for an independent businessman, because no one wants to be doing a small business and suddenly encounter a group of troops or mercenaries.

Before going to bed at night, Miranda opened the diary in which she recorded all her experiences. Including the tragedy of the blood feast, and the stunning beauty Margaret that Miranda witnessed with her own eyes, she even drew Margaret and Luthus together, and the carriage that carried them around the city was also drawn in her diary.

At the first sight of Margaret and Luthers, Miranda felt a little envious in her heart, as if she saw that she might one day be able to wear such a perfect wedding dress and marry the person she loved the most. However, Miranda soon left this behind, knowing that she wanted to be more of an adventurer like Hecot and discover the unknown and different of the world. And every night that Miranda sleeps alone, she often dreams of Avi's appearance, but more often than not, she dreams of a wider sky.

Early the next morning, a messenger delivering letters found Miranda. Miranda would leave her own message at the letter office in each city, so that even if her father sent the letter to Sunrise Plateau, the letter would be delivered to her after traveling. But what I didn't expect was that in addition to my father's letter, Emily's weeping mercenary group leader Constable also sent the letter this time.

A letter from her father tells Miranda that he has brought her mother back to live in Golden Hoof from her relatives' house, and that the civil war between the two Oguna empires may cease for a while. On the other hand, Charrick brought back a small number of goods from the Sunrise Plateau, which were brought all the way from the north to the Oguna Empire, and the price of those rare goods increased a lot with each city, and Charrick had already tasted the sweetness, and he planned to make a risky investment and buy a large number of those goods from the Sunrise Plateau.

When Miranda saw this, she immediately wrote back, reminding her father to be cautious, after all, the funds needed to buy a large amount of money are not something that his father can afford, and his father will definitely borrow money to do business, and a huge risk will arise.

Constable's letter addressed Miranda as Mr. Minanta, and the mercenary leader told Minanta that he had reached an agreement with the chiefs of the Sunrise Plateau, and that the Sunrise Plateau would become a self-governing territory headed by the Autonomous Alliance, and that from now on (the day of the letter), the Autonomous Alliance would be renamed the "Sunrise Alliance", with Constable, the initiator, as the first "governor", leading the "mayors" of the cities in the Sunrise Plateau. However, since Constable was not elected as a governor under the Sunrise Coalition system, Constable could only serve as governor for one year, after which a new governor would be re-elected.

In addition to the Sunrise Alliance, Constable also wrote about the appearance of alien peoples on the Sunrise Plateau. Some of the people Constable called "backward civilizations" and "real savages" appeared in the unexplored north of the Sunrise Plateau. The barbarians were poorly clothed, and the tools in their hands were very backward, and they looked like a bunch of savages who were indistinguishable from animals. These people did not attack the Sunrise Alliance, they just spied on the mainlanders from the far side of the city, and when Constable sent soldiers to find out, these wild men immediately fled and hid in the great desert farther away.

Constable also mentioned at the end of his letter that he hoped that those who would come to Sunrise Plateau and build a new continent together.

Miranda didn't expect Constable to act so quickly, she was once again impressed by this mercenary, the other party has a superior courage to ordinary people, maybe it can really change the status quo of the continent - Miranda once thought about a question after returning to the mainland: Why do the disputes on the mainland become more and more intense? In the end, Miranda boiled down the answer to this question to too little land and too many people.

In Miranda's answer, the countries of the continent want more territory, and more territory means more taxes and output, especially the three principalities in the center of the continent, and they all want to annex the other two countries. The insatiable upper aristocracy plundered vast amounts of resources, while the living conditions of the lowest commoners did not improve, which also made the rebel organization even stronger.

According to Miranda's experience as a tourist merchant for many years, in fact, in many places, civilians can only make ends meet, and in the event of natural disasters and wars, these civilians will be in great difficulty. So Miranda began to look to a bold and capable pioneer like Constable, who could turn the vast and sparsely populated Sunrise Plateau into a new world that would divert continental strife. If all the poor people were immigrated to the Sunrise Plateau, maybe the people of the continent and the new world would be better off.

Although it was just Miranda's personal opinion, she began to fantasize about Constable making Sunrise Plateau and Sunrise Alliance a wonderful new world at breakfast. Even when she was driving the carriage in the direction of Freedom City, she had just left Sunrise Plateau for a few months, and she thought about going back to Sunrise Plateau to see the new changes there.

Around the end of the afternoon, Miranda arrived in the Free City bordering the Duchy of Noao and the Republic of Marvil. The city doesn't have any taxes and accepts people of all faiths, so many tourist merchants choose it as a transit point and sell things that don't seem to be light.

The furthest Miranda has ever been is the Duchy of Nou, so she was excited to come to Free City for the first time. She first found a hotel to stay in, then freshened up before heading out into the street.

The streets are lined with shops, and tourists, merchants, fishermen, artisans, farmers, missionaries, mercenaries, and even regular soldiers all appear in front of Miranda's eyes. At this time, the crowd on the harborside was attracting all the residents of the Free City, and Miranda immediately followed to see the excitement.

I saw that the harbor was already full of people, and everyone craned their necks, waiting for a big ship to approach. The big ship looked neither a cargo ship nor a passenger ship, but rather a warship of the Navy.

"Get out of the way! Get out of your way, you guys, don't stand in our way!" Miranda and the other civilians were pushed away by a group of mercenaries, and a man with only one ear swaggered out.

"I heard that something terrible has been caught! Wait a minute, be quiet for Lao Tzu! Don't make a fuss!" the one-eared man stood on the high platform on the shore and shouted loudly to the crowd of onlookers.

Miranda watched as the big ship approached slowly, and a large number of sailors also stepped onto the deck, and there was a man standing in the bow. Miranda gradually saw that it was a woman, a young woman with an axe and a hammer at her waist.

"Is it really Harriet's?!, that guy didn't stay well in the funeral mercenary group, and he actually came here!" The one-eared man muttered dissatisfied.

Miranda saw something that seemed to be dragging something behind the big ship, and when she saw dozens of sailors dragging the big net together, she realized that a huge octopus was the prey of the ship!

The tentacles of the giant octopus were sunk in the sea, but according to its head, the octopus appeared to be a behemoth, larger than a siege trebuchet!

"From now on, the Western Sea will have another name! It will be the Harriet Sea! The one who conquers this sea is I, Harriet!" the woman standing at the bow of the ship suddenly drew her axe and roared as she held it high.
