Chapter 117: Felois New Town
Strictly speaking, the Duchy of Drake, as a principality, does not have the word "royal capital".
However, as the seat of the Grand Duke's Palace, the city of Felois was naturally regarded as the political and economic center of the Duchy of Dral.
The Duchy of Draco wasn't that big, and the city of Felois wasn't that big before.
Not to mention that compared to the royal capital of the Lampari Kingdom, Anweimar City, it is even smaller than the previous Bonta City, which can be regarded as an inconspicuous small city that can be seen everywhere on the continent of Sainz.
So when the Marquis of Southgate and Seymour saw the walls of the city of Felois from afar, they inevitably showed a look of disappointment.
Along the way, they saw a lot of new things in the Duchy of Draco, which can be said to have opened their eyes, and also made them look forward to the rumored most developed city in the entire Duchy of Delaco, the city of Felois, but they didn't expect that after seeing it with their own eyes, it was just this virtue, which was really disappointing.
However, the magic car carrying the two of them did not drive towards the city wall in the distance, but made a clear circle, as if intending to go directly around the city.
Seymour was stunned and asked the driver they were hiring with when they hired the magic car, "Hey, where are you taking us?"
The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and replied with a smile: "This guest, aren't you here to buy a magic car? The special sales point of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is set up in Xincheng District, and I will send you there now. ”
"New Town?" Seymour muttered, looking at the Marquis of Southgate.
The Marquis of Southgate nodded slightly, motioning for him to wait and see.
Seymour asked no more. He sat back on his back.
Feel the comfort and softness of the back seat. Seymour couldn't help but let out a moan of unusually satisfied comfort.
If it's the first time I've seen a magic sedan speeding past in that border town. If he was completely impressed by the amazing speed of the magic car, then now that he had hired this magic car, rode all the way over, and felt it for himself, his heart was even more full of appreciation for the magic car.
Even if you don't mention the speed that is countless times faster than a traditional horse-drawn carriage, it is the comfort of sitting in it, and the magic car has already blown up all traditional horse-drawn carriages.
When he was in the Maro Empire, he rode in the super luxurious carriage of the Grand Duke of Baidi's family, although the interior and materials in that carriage were extremely expensive. The softest blankets are also laid inside, but if you talk about comfort alone, you still can't ride in this magic car.
Of course, much of what makes this magic car feel like sitting on the couch in his own home is due in large part to the exceptionally smooth road under their feet.
It was the first time Seymour had seen such a smooth road, and the magic car drove on it, barely feeling the slightest jolting and throbbing.
It was a different story from riding in a horse-drawn carriage on the gravel and dirt roads of the Marlowe Empire, which were always full of potholes, so much so that Seymour and the Marquis of Southgate slept for a while on the way.
After experiencing such a trip firsthand, Seymour secretly made up his mind in his heart.
Of course, you have to buy a magic car. But correspondingly, I'm afraid that after I go back, I will have to build several identical roads in the empire.
Otherwise. Even if it's a magic car, it's not very comfortable to drive on those gravel and dirt roads.
The magic car carrying the two men maintained a speed of about fifty kilometers per hour, and soon bypassed the walled Old Town on the road outside Felois.
The Marquis of Southgate and Seymour looked out the window and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In front of the two of them was a complex of buildings that seemed to have no end in sight.
These buildings range from the traditional low-rise wooden houses on the Sainz continent, but more often than not, they are high-rise masonry buildings of at least a dozen meters.
In the most conspicuous place at the far end, there are three skyscrapers that are at least dozens of meters high, which look extremely magnificent.
In the middle of these clusters are equally straight, wide, flat roads that divide the huge new city into neat blocks.
On both sides of the road, tall iron pillars are erected at intervals, and at the top of each pillar hangs a beautiful magic lamp.
These magic lamps have been seen before, and they should also be from the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Seymour inquisitively inquired about the driver in front of him, and learned that these were the so-called "street lights" that would light up the road at night when the light dimmed.
Hearing the driver's explanation, both the Marquis of Southgate and Seymour couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
This city of Felois is nothing else, and the setting of street lights alone is already better than all the other cities on its continent.
"Haha, you've seen too little. Who knew that after hearing the admiration of the two, the driver laughed out loud and shook his head to deny their ideas. "I tell you, the street lamp first arose in the city of Bunta in the kingdom of Lampari, and then other cities did the same. We've built this thing relatively late in the city of Felois. ”
"Bonta City was the first to adopt this street lamp, is it because of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" Seymour asked.
Along the way, they inquired about a lot of rumors about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they were very clear about the fact that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce started in Bangta City, Lampari Kingdom.
"Well, this thing was originally proposed by President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so Bangta City was the first to implement it. Later, everyone thought that this thing was really very useful, so they learned it all. ”
"Looks like ...... This new flying chamber of commerce has already changed the face of many cities just by using simple magic lamps and street lights. After a sigh, the Marquis of Southgate looked at the three towering buildings in the distance, and asked, "Then what happened to these three buildings of this height? Could it be that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce also built them?
"Those three buildings? No, no, no, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only making magic machines, and these three buildings were not built by them, but by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce. But if you want to say that it is related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, that's right, after all, the most important cement, steel bar, or other materials for building these three buildings, as well as a lot of engineering magic machinery, are provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Cement, steel, engineering magic machinery?" both the Marquis of Southgate and Seymour heard these terms for the first time, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
The Marquis of Southgate looked at the three tall buildings again, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
This new flying chamber of commerce is really worth exploring, whenever he thinks he already knows a lot about the new flying chamber of commerce, but he can always pop up something new to make him realize his mistakes.
The Marquis of Southgate suddenly felt that his decision to go to the Duchy of Draco on a whim to investigate because he had seen a novel magical machine in the Frankish Kingdom could not have been more correct.
If you can figure out some details of this new flying chamber of commerce, then this trip is really fruitful.
"Alright, here we go. ”
The Magic Car slowed down slightly, then slowly slowed down before finally stopping.
The Marquis of Southgate and Seymour turned to look out of the car and saw that they had come to a clearing in front of a very large building.
Through the car window, you can see a large sign hanging on the gate of this building, which reads "Xinfei Product Service Center".
"Hey, we're here to buy a magic car, what are we doing here?" Seymour couldn't help but say.
"That's right, this is where magic cars are sold...... the driver smiled and opened the door for the two of them.
The Marquis of Southgate and Seymour got out of the car, followed by two more magic cars that came to a stop, and the retinue brought by the Marquis of Southgate from his trip stepped down from the folded magic car.
Originally, they took two traditional horse-drawn carriages all the way from the Frankish Kingdom, but because they saw the magic car with their own eyes in the border town, and at the same time, they happened to hear that there was a chamber of commerce in the border town that specialized in renting magic cars, so they simply left the carriage in the town and directly rented three magic cars to connect the hired drivers all the way.
I have to say that this decision not only made them a lot more comfortable on the journey, but also saved them a lot of time.
That border town was more than a hundred kilometers from the city of Felois, and it would take at least half a day to get there by horse-drawn carriage.
After changing to the Magic Car, it only took two hours.
Marquis Southgate looked left and right at the huge building in front of him, which occupied tens of thousands of square meters, and nodded: "Let's go in and have a look." ”
The group walked towards the gate, and the transparent glass door was opened, and a young and beautiful woman greeted him.
Everyone's eyes fell on this welcome lady, and they were stunned again.
"This ...... Is this an orc?"
Seymour looked at the two fluffy rabbit ears sticking out of the hostess's head in amazement, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch them to see if it was true, but was slapped down by the Marquis of Southgate.
"Watch your actions, Seymour. The Marquis of Southgate rebuked him, then smiled apologetically to the hostess, "I'm very sorry that this beautiful orc lady has frightened you." ”
The orc welcome lady was indeed a little frightened by Seymour's actions, but now that she saw the middle-aged man in front of her with a noble temperament and knew that she was by no means an ordinary person, she sincerely apologized to herself, immediately forgot about it, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." This...... Belch...... Guests, is there anything I can do to help you?" (To be continued......)
