Chapter 50: The Town of Ampryston

The town of Ampriston is located in the southwestern corner of the Duchy of Mirando, bordering the Duchy of Lulton to the south and the Kingdom of Lampari to the west and north.

A wide river flows through the center of the town and continues to the east.

The river is known as the Sandy River in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Mirandor River in the Principality of Mirando.

It is so called because there is only one river in the Duchy of Mirando that is more than 50 meters wide and can be called spacious.

Aside from the river, the town of Ampliston is no different from any other town in the Duchy of Mirando, all of which are just as peaceful and ordinary.

Such a town of Empryston has existed on the continent for more than hundreds of years, and no matter how the continent changes, no one will be interested in such a featureless and extremely barren town.

The people of the small town of Ampliston share the same belief that they will repeat this peaceful, ordinary day every day, as they have done for hundreds of years, until they die.

However, after entering the second half of the year 3783 in the continental calendar, the tranquility of the town was suddenly shattered.

First, one day, dozens of large boats floated down from the upper reaches of the Mirando River.

The logo on the ship showed that they were from the Lampari Kingdom, but in addition to some humans who spoke with the accent of Bangta City in the Lampari Kingdom not far upstream, there were actually some strange-looking, hideous-looking orc men!

However, to the surprise of the people in the small town of Ampryston, these orc men did not seem to come to this small town with the intention of burning, killing and looting, but after getting off the ship. He actually worked honestly under the command of those humans.

But after observing it for a while. People found out again. These orcs don't look like the legendary orc slaves.

Because the humans on the fleet did not have much restraint on these orc men, they were treated like ordinary humans, there was no difference.

After a long time, when the people of the town took their surprised eyes off those orc men, they found something that surprised them.

Before you know it, a huge wharf has been built on the banks of the Mirando River outside the town!

And not far from the pier, a huge building was also erected. It's half the top of the tallest church in town.

Everyone was amazed by these buildings.

They couldn't understand why these Lampari people had suddenly come to their humble town to build such a huge dock and a building that they didn't know what to do.

Although the men had been personally accompanied by the mayor of the town during the construction of the dock and the building, and the occasional dignitary who was said to be an earl came to check on them and prove that they had done all of them with the approval of the Duchy, the people of the town were extremely uneasy.

However, this uneasiness did not last long, and it was not long before the people of the town realized that these people had brought them a lot of benefits.

The humans and orc greats who came down from the fleet combined were a hundred or so men. Although they brought down a large number of incomprehensible messes from the ship, they did not prepare any food and clothing supplies. If you want to solve these problems, you naturally have to go to the town.

And these big men seem to be very wealthy, and they are extremely generous, and if they find a random family for a meal, they will sell a few silver coins, which are enough to be worth several times the value of the materials used in this meal.

And in addition to eating, these big men work hard, and what they love most is to drink a good meal at night.

Although the wine brewed by the people of the small town of Ampliston is not delicious, these big men, especially the big men of the orc tribe, do not refuse to come, and drink it as soon as they pick it up.

Addicted to drinking, even a gold coin may be thrown out.

After only a month or two, the people of the town were surprised to find that they had made a lot of unexpected income because of the arrival of this mysterious fleet.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and after building the dock and the unknown building, the big men left the town.

It's just that the people haven't been disappointed for a few days, but a group of strong human men who have far outnumbered the previous ones, and there are hundreds of strong human men who have come to this town again.

These men did not come up from the Mirandor River, but came from the ground in what they called a magic locomotive.

After arriving in the town, the big men began to beat the ground around the town.

According to them, they are preparing to build a road.

Highway?

The town of Ampliston borders the kingdom of Lampari, and I have heard of this thing that is said to be everywhere in the kingdom of Lampari, but why did these people suddenly come here to build roads?

However, the answer to this question is not important to the people in the town, what is important is that because of the arrival of these people, the food and lodging business in the town has become prosperous again.

Even well-informed businessmen, after hearing about the follow-up actions of these people, opened a new restaurant directly on the edge of the town near the wharf, providing catering services for these people.

Another few months passed, and there were three more roads outside the town.

One of them went all the way to the west, directly to the kingdom of Lampari.

The other is to the east, which is said to eventually lead to the capital of the principality, Mirando.

As for the last one, it is a somewhat peculiar southward entry into the kingdom of Ruersun, and it is not known where it will eventually lead.

After the road and dock were built, it seemed that overnight, another large number of people poured into the town.

A large number of strange-looking iron machines were brought in to the strange building that had been built before, and then the town office suddenly posted a notice that Xuancheng was going to recruit a group of workers in the town.

Seeing the salary offered on the notice, the peculiar building was almost squeezed through the gate by the crowd that swarmed it.

Why do you say?

Nonsense! A month's salary is enough for 10 gold coins! And it also includes a lunch at noon! There are even extra rewards every holiday!

Such a good job, so why not rush to grab it?

Ultimately. This one comes from the kingdom of Lampari. It seems that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is very famous in the Lampari Kingdom, has recruited a hundred workers from the town. Enter that peculiar building not too far from the pier...... Oh no, that rare earth smelter.

As for the rest who have not been recruited, don't be too disappointed, according to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they will open several magic machinery factories here in the future, and they need to recruit a large number of workers.

According to the chubby, middle-aged man who came to recruit workers, he could even guarantee that it wouldn't be long before everyone in the small town of Ampleston would have a good job. Not only can you not worry about food and clothing in the future, but you can also enjoy a much more comfortable life.

Few doubted his words, because for the people of the town, they were not qualified to be deceived at all.

Now, everyone is looking forward to the end of winter.

Because the vice president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce said that when spring arrives and the weather warms up, it will be convenient to start construction and build a factory.

The people of the town seem to have seen countless wonderful job opportunities beckoning to them.

At this time, naturally, no one will notice. Every once in a while, the rare earth smelter would ship out batches of goods. Either load onto a ship parked at the dock or load it on a large freight magic locomotive.

But in the end, the direction was all the way to the west, into the kingdom of Lampari.

While everyone was immersed in the fantasy of tomorrow, another boat came to a halt at the pier from the upper reaches of the Mirandor River.

At the same time, a horse-drawn carriage, which looked inconspicuous on the outside, drove into the town from the east and stopped at the gate of the town office.

The magician of Bukalus got out of the carriage, and the mayor of the town of Ampliston, Baron Lofik, immediately greeted him.

"Your Excellency Bukalus, President Xu has not yet arrived, can you go in and sit and wait for him for a while?"

"No need, I'll just wait here. With a wave of his hand, the magician stood at the door of the town office, staring back at the entrance of the town with a look of anticipation.

"This ...... You stand here, Lord Bukales...... It's so eye-catching, I don't think Chairman Xu likes it. Baron Lofek reminded in a whisper.

"Oh, oh...... That's right, too. The wizard of Bukalus reacted, thought for a moment, and turned to walk towards the town office.

Baron Lofik let out a light breath and hurriedly followed.

Halfway through, the magician Bukalus suddenly thought that he had remembered something, turned his head and nodded to Baron Lofik, and said with an approving expression: "Baron Lofik, according to what I just saw outside, the town of Ampleston has really changed a lot now. I found that the people in the town were in much better spirits than they used to be, and had obviously gotten a lot richer. I walk down the road and always smell the enticing aroma of meat. ”

Baron Lofik laughed, "That's true, now we are much stronger in Umpliston than before. But this is all thanks to you, the Wizard of Bukalus, and if it weren't for you bringing the New Flyers here, our town would never have been what it is now. ”

"Then you should go and thank the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu, thank me for what to do?" The Wizard Bukalus waved his hand, paused, and suddenly said in a slightly low tone, "But I heard...... Baron Lofik, in the past six months, you have made many unreasonable demands on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and therefore asked for at least five bribes from the local person in charge of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Baron Lofik's face changed drastically, and then he shook his head calmly: "How is it possible! The Grand Duke and Lord Earl Plimpton have explained to me countless times that they want to meet the requirements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as much as possible, how can I embarrass them?"

"Yes, but this is what Earl Princeton himself mentioned to me before I departed, and I hope he didn't listen to the rumors?" said the Wizard Bucles faintly.

Countless cold sweats oozed from Baron Lofek's forehead, and he was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by a long laugh at the door.

"Lord Earl must have made a mistake, our Chamber of Commerce and His Excellency the Baron are very happy to work together, how can such a thing happen?"

Baron Lofik instantly felt as comfortable as drinking a bowl of hot soup in the middle of winter, turned to look at Xu Yi who strode in from the door, and greeted him with a grateful face. (To be continued......)
