A rainstorm has just fallen, and although the air in early summer still has a hint of dryness and heat, it is much wetter than usual, and it penetrates through the cracks in the open windows and blows on people, making people feel that the heat has disappeared immediately, and it is extremely comfortable.

With a long breath, Freeman glanced up at the distance of the road, and motioned for the driver next to him to slow down.

"Our car is full of delicate things, so be careful not to turn it upside down. If one or two things are broken, we'll have to run back to the Duchy of Stantin to buy them again. ”

Bo Bike, the exclusive freight driver of the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland beside him, nodded, and reduced the speed of the large freight magic locomotive from close to kilometers per hour just now to about forty kilometers per hour, which slowed down a lot in an instant.

However, Bobic looked a little more focused than just now, and even had a hint of nervousness as if he was facing a great enemy.

It's not just because Freeman reminds it that the back box of the freight magic locomotive is filled with high-end precision magic machines, but also because the road ahead is a bit ridiculously rotten.

"I said President, this Maro Empire is one of the two major empires on the mainland, I used to think how amazing they were, why do you look at them now...... Not to mention anything else, not to mention that this road is much worse than our Lampari Kingdom, even compared to the Frankish Kingdom. ”

Feliman rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, the road we just walked on is only the first road within the Marlo Empire, can it be compared to our Lampari Kingdom, which is full of roads?"

"That's ......," Bobic laughed. "I didn't expect that our Lampari Kingdom is so much smaller than the Maro Empire, but it is much stronger than them in terms of roads. ”

"Alright, look ahead. Stop talking nonsense. Feliman interrupted.

Bobic snorted. The hand holding the steering wheel added a bit of strength.

"Bang-"

The large freight magic locomotive where the two of them sat suddenly made a loud noise. The entire body shook violently, knocking both of them out of their seats at the same time.

Freeman's expression changed, and he said sharply: "Slow down!"

Bobic hurriedly controlled the large freight magic locomotive to slow down again until it maintained a speed of thirty kilometers per hour, which barely allowed the freight magic locomotive to recover to an acceptable steady distance.

Listening to the thudding sound coming from behind, Bobic frowned and asked, "President, those things in the back will be fine, right?"

Feliman's brow furrowed even deeper, clearly more worried. However, after thinking about it, he could only wave his hand helplessly: "No way, so be it." Those magic locomotives are tightly tied, and I don't think it's a big deal. It's really not possible, we can only go to the local area and then ask for technical support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Speaking of which...... How did the New Flyers get their magical machine equipment over?" asked Bobic again.

"Can you compare to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" said Freeman glared at Bobic angrily. "I've heard that when they sent the first batch of equipment to the Maro Empire, they did so directly by magic airship. The magic airship is a thing that flies in the sky, and of course you don't need to worry about bumps in the road. ”

"Magic Airship......" Bobic glanced at the sky in the distance, a look of envy on his face. "Only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be so extravagant. President, when will we buy a few magic airships for the Irish Chamber of Commerce to play with?"

Freeman could only roll his eyes again.

"What are you kidding! A magic airship is priced at 1.3 million gold coins, and our chamber of commerce can only earn less than 500,000 gold coins a year. Want to buy a magic airship? It's wishful thinking!"

Bobic stuck out his tongue: "I'll just talk about it." But...... President. If you can't afford a magic airship, buy a few new air-suspended cargo magic locomotives that the New Flyers will launch. You can still afford it, right?"

Freeman glanced at Bobic in surprise, his face curious and amused.

"Okay, it turns out that your kid has been beating around the bush for a long time, just wanting me to change your car. ”

Bobic smiled: "When I went to the mine of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce the other day, I tried to drive a new air-suspended freight magic locomotive that they bought. President, I have to say this thing is really strong. I drove it for half a day on the potholed roads of the mine, and I didn't feel bumpy at all. You see, if we had one of these cars now, we wouldn't have to worry about being knocked upside down by this roadblock, wouldn't we?"

"Well...... Faliman glanced at the muddy dirt road in front of him, revealing countless potholes, frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help but nod slightly. "What you're saying isn't entirely unreasonable. We don't know when this broken road will be repaired, and we have to keep transporting things over this time, and if something goes wrong along the way, it will be a big problem......"

"So, President, when I go back this time, I will go directly to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to buy two air-suspended freight magic locomotives. I dare say I'd run at least fifty on the road with that car, and you wouldn't have to worry about things breaking. Bobic continued while the iron was hot.

Feliman shook his hand: "Okay, I'll talk about this later, let's get this shipment first." ”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Bobic smiled and returned to concentrating on driving.

Although it was still bumpy, the mood was different, and I felt that these bumps were no longer as unbearable as they were just now.

Ignoring Bobic, who was about to bloom with a smile on his face, Feliman lowered his head and took out a map and flipped through it.

Originally, according to their plan, they should be able to rest for the night in a small city about two hundred kilometers ahead tonight, and they will probably arrive at the destination of this trip at noon tomorrow - the private domain of the Marquis of Southgate of the Marlo Empire.

But now the road conditions in front of us are so bad that the speed of the freight magic locomotive inevitably slows down.

At this slow pace, it was impossible to reach the town before dark.

In this Maro Empire, where there are no roads and even more street lights, it is obviously impossible to continue traveling at night, so it is necessary to decide where to spend the night as soon as possible.

Judging from the map, there is a small town about a hundred kilometers away, and if nothing else, it should be possible to reach before dark, so Feliman has this town as a target for the time being.

However, accidents always happen when people don't expect them......

Two hours later, when the large cargo magic locomotive carried Ferriman and Bobic to an even more muddy section, he suddenly noticed that there were about seven or eight freight magic locomotives crowded on the road ahead, and there were many people standing next to them, and there was the sound of a bunch of people chattering together.

"What's going on?"

Feliman and Bobic looked at each other in confusion and drove closer.

When the distance was closer, Ferriman realized that in front of the road was a small river that was quite wide, and that the magic locomotives and people were all blocked on this side of the river, as if they could not get through guò.

Feliman motioned for Bobic to stop the car and jumped himself.

After taking a closer look, Ferreman found that the owners of these magic locomotives were all the same as him, and this time they responded to the call of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and came to invest in the Maro Empire.

The reason why they were stopped here was because the bridge that was supposed to be over the river was directly washed away by the torrential current, leaving them without the only access to the Guò River.

"How long have you been waiting here?" asked Feliman.

"I arrived early and had been waiting for more than an hour. A freight driver with a somewhat bitter face shook his head and sighed: "Originally, it was said that the rain had stopped, and after a while, maybe the water would become smaller, and it would be able to rush straight through." I can't imagine that I haven't seen any signs of getting smaller for so long. ”

Freeman looked at the others and saw that they were all shaking their heads and sighing in unison.

"Haven't you thought about a detour, then?" asked Freeman again.

"What detour? We are all here for the first time in the Maro Empire, and we are not familiar with the place. And the map shows that the nearest bridge is nearly a hundred kilometers away, and there is no road in between. And even if we find the way to pass, at least we will have to detour more than 300 kilometers, and we won't be able to reach it the day after tomorrow. ”

"Yes, I really don't know that the road in the Maro Empire is such a virtue, how can our Lampari Kingdom be easy to walk. ”

"Yes. In our kingdom of Lampari, there are smooth roads everywhere, and the bridges are the strongest, how can they be washed away by the water casually. ”

"Why do I think the Marlo Empire is much more backward than our Lampari Kingdom? You see, the road is so bad, there are no street lights along the way, and I don't even see a magic locomotive, only a few broken carriages ...... occasionally."

......

Listening to the echoed complaints of the people around him, Freeman frowned slightly, but did not blend in.

I walked to the river and observed the small stone bridge that was washed away by the river, and found that the situation was not particularly strict, the bridge was only partially washed out in the middle, as long as this part was filled, it was not impossible to pass guò.

Glancing back at the eight large freight magic locomotives blocking the river, Freeman mentally made an estimate and walked over to one of the drivers.

"Hey, if I'm not mistaken, you must have a magic excavator in your car, right?"

The driver was stunned: "yes, what?"

Feliman smiled, clapped his hands vigorously to attract everyone's attention, and raised his voice: "It is definitely impossible to wait here for the people of the Maro Empire to repair the bridge. But we can't wait here, Chairman Xu is still waiting for us to start work on time after we deliver the things. ”

A group of people looked at each other.

"But what can I do now, there is no way to get there. ”

Have you forgotten what President Hsu once said? He said that all the roads in this world depend on people. Now that the road in front of us is broken, then we'll fix it!"

"Repair, how to repair?" the crowd wondered even more.

Ferreman pointed to the trunks of several large freight magic locomotives and smiled, "Of course it's up to these guys." (To be continued......)
